[weary birch]

and at the same time some scientists are shooting at me on Yantar

[willow hawk]

Send me your save @weary birch

I can write a quick fix

if squad == nil then return end

In task_functor.script line 391

[willow hawk]

Thanks

Will look into it

[clear flare]

Would the gamma modpack still work if i disabled the mags mod?

[willow hawk]

Yes indeed.

Just your current save will crash @clear flare

[clear flare]

Thats no problem

[civic quiver]

how do I wear the psy-helmet

[willow hawk]

You need it in your inventory

[civic quiver]

oh, dont need to equip it, nice

thx

[clear flare]

Which mod exactly is the mags mod?

[willow hawk]

MagsRedux

In optionals

[clear flare]

And then i can reload like normal without magazines to refill?

I hope so

[willow hawk]

Yes

MagsRedux isn't activated by default in GAMMA

[supple wasp]

could i ask for how to use Ramrod and file? Its said for maintain weapon part but i don't know how

oh, so that why i can't repair the 20% tube

tks for the help

[willow hawk]

Right click > use. Only usable on parts with condition above 60%

[supple wasp]

thank

[tacit yew]

Be sure ur at max carry weight in settings(that's fine), don't carry trash items, if you are mid game, craft a better backpack, if u have money, buy its improvements, if ur a loot hoarder like me, get a pokemon(companion) just to use his inventory

And there is artifacts to increase carry weight, but not too much

[willow hawk]

Yes through LUA scripts

[north turret]

@oblique onyx There's a mod that makes your carryweight 500. I'll use it to transfer stashes but imo it ruins the game to play like that. There's no decisions about what's important to take and how much ammo and such.

Not much survival aspect if you're a walking storage container

[tacit yew]

Nah, if he wants to carry a lot he just should take a companion

[north turret]

not much challenge if you have a pack mule that also alerts you to enemies and will distract them

[oblique onyx]

I want to carry at least 150kg, I can carry 118kg at the moment.

I tried using those mods but they didn't work for whatever reason.

And I did try getting a companion but they just got in the way a lot and alerted enemies.

I think my best bet is just to craft a better backpack and upgrade it.

@north turret @tacit yew Thanks for the suggestions.

[tacit yew]

With the numpad you can tell him some actions, yeah companions are dumb and not help much, with numpad 1 u tell him to not attack enemies, with 2 to stop follow you, i think 4 was stealth?
So you get in a map, and tell him to stop there, and when you need him to carry things, numpad 2 so it goes where you are

J KEY teleports him to ur location but it doesn't work if he is too far

I only tell him to come with me when I loot or switch to another map

[wraith knoll]

how to enable debug mode? It seams regular way doesn't work

[tidal raft]

#│🔧troubleshooting message

[north turret]

how can I apply Nav's mask into GAMMA?

[covert kestrel]

once you get lvl 15 str and exoskeleton, you can carry like, 180 kg-200 kg

and well, nosorog

[tacit yew]

But u run slower with exo right?

[covert kestrel]

yeah, noticeably slower

but for me the carry weight makes up for it

i carry around like 170+ kg all the time

[timid edge]

will a blowout\psy storm damage my stuff in a storage outside?

[oblique onyx]

Conveniently for you, I'm about to find out

[willow hawk]

No

[oblique onyx]

My stuff is ok

[timid edge]

once and a while in my travels i'll get a heart thumping noise with no apparent reason behind it. what gives?

[supple basalt]

hi guys

i'm installing the modpack trough the installer and i can't minimise the damn thing

it just stays on top of all windows.

any suggestions ?

[tidal raft]

Step 7.
#old-how-to message

[ivory comet]

this is melee in general right? i am not sure about the keybind to kick, knives and axes are ok?

[tidal raft]

You press the Use key when a mutant is close enough for melee.

[weary birch]

Hello. I'm sorry if I'm distracting, I wanted to know if there is any progress? 👉 👈

[ivory comet]

O O I NEED to try it now

thank you @tidal raft

[willow hawk]

no I'm doing something else

meanwhile just try this

@weary birch

put this in your Anomaly/gamedata/scripts folder

[weary birch]

if i dont have scripts folder i must create it or?

[willow hawk]

Yes

[supple basalt]

got it! Thank you!

[vital plover]

do I need to enable Arszi's rad overhaul too if I removed ES and SSR or just leave it bare like this?
It says no patches but NV didnt work so ill experiment

[weary birch]

thank u, now i can start a conversation with Sakharov but some scientist keep attacking me

idk why

[timid edge]

Hey. Does the displayed armor stats change with the condition of the armor?

[ivory comet]

@tidal raft does it have to be specific mutants? i tried to press USE key on boars and died a few times XD

[tidal raft]

As the artefact itself states, it is "tier-based".
With one Ball you can instantly kill dogs, cats, and maybe Pseudodogs.
This means you need to stack multiple Balls to instantly kill larger mutants.

[willow hawk]

Killing them shouldn't crash your game

[willow hawk]

Yes

[weary birch]

yes, but if I kill them, then all the stalkers on Yantar become hostile to me... even Yantar engineer and... Sakharov((

[warped ginkgo]

you could try enabling debug mode, set yourself in god mode, and then aim at the enemy scientist and make them friendly

then save

[willow hawk]

Press F7 > God mode > face them > make friend in F7 menu one by one

What @warped ginkgo said

[devout leaf]

Quick question, do higher tier knives also have higher durability, or just higher damage?

[willow hawk]

Higher pen higher damage and less durability loss when skinning

[devout leaf]

Nice, thank you

[graceful pier]

This modpak has taken some time to adjust to with the focus of the economy being taken off the traders and placed more into the stalkers. I started out using the debug menu to get going, but this ruined the fun. I'm attempting to play (struggle) without it, but am getting hammered. Is there a good way to heal myself without having to resort to my items early-game, which wipes out any items I've accrued for hours? I hate to reload whenever an encounter punishes me.

Should I be disassembling everything I come across and put most of my attention to repairs?

Crafting items?

What's the best way early game to get on my feet?

[willow hawk]

Play in easier difficulty

[graceful pier]

I'm playing medium

[warped ginkgo]

walk instead of running, in cordon early game i stepped into like 5 anomalies and got destroyed haha

[graceful pier]

I'm also coming from EFP

Yeah walking is crucial

I can handle the difficulty, just looking for some general tips early on

Does sleeping heal limbs?

[warped ginkgo]

yes

[graceful pier]

I have the anomaly beeps turned on, it's frustrating without it

Some you can see, but others not

[willow hawk]

Yes, but you can't sleep when you want

Go to a doc

he will heal you for 1800RU

[graceful pier]

Nice

[tidal meadow]

How do you disable that actually?
Unclicking the sleep mod and the sleep mod patch seems to crash the game

[willow hawk]

Taking sleeping pills

[tidal meadow]

In the launcher I mean

[willow hawk]

Disable GAMMA Sleep Balance

[willow hawk]

And immersive sleep + patch

[tidal meadow]

Oh I didn't do the 3rd

[vital plover]

Can the zips in the downloads folder inside mod organizer folder be deleted? seems like everything is extracted into the mods folder so...?

[obtuse rune]

Technically yes, if you want to update or clean install you will need to redownload

[willow hawk]

Not recommended

[vital plover]

gotcha

[dapper iron]

When Im at night crouch human npc cant see me but for example the mutants pigs in cordon kill me even in dark night and quiet. Stealth just work for humans npc and not mutants?

[bright seal]

Hello - I've went through the steps of the install and updated the GAMMA Data. Now opened MO2 and found this red cross. I reupdated GAMMA data again and it persists. Should I be concerned about it?

[warped ginkgo]

i have the same X for that mod

but i run the game fine

[willow hawk]

Currently it is that way. I need to fix the install of this

You need to edit beefs shaders

[bright seal]

Thank you I will try to run as it is

Just wanted to confirm before I continued

[warped ginkgo]

not even pressing 'N' adjust it?

my bad, no idea then haha

[rocky cradle]

Hmm, cant decide on what weapon to start using when trying to venture up north..
AK-74 (PMC), M4 Tactical or VSS Merc ? all BaS weapons
I know that 5.56 has less dmg but more pen compared to 5.45, but I have no idea how 9x39 compares to those two

I make almost all of my ammunition myself & havent joined any other faction than Loner if that changes anything in terms of AP ammo availability

using Saiga vs. mutants, also thinking of repairing a SVDS or mk14 ebr

VSS mercs price is wayyy higher than the other weapons but im not sure if that really changes anything

[tacit yew]

I love 9x39, and i've been tempted to use it,
the issue i've found its that ammo is really hard to craft & hard to find looting enemies compared to 5.45/5.56...
So you will need to stock up A LOT of ammo just to be sure...

7.62x51 NATO AP => 572    BR6 high
7.62x51 NATO fmg => 137    BR3 high
---------------
5.56x45 AP => 476    BR5 medium
5.56 FMG => 206        BR3 medium
----------
9x39 SP6 => 445        BR5 high
9x39 SP5 => 183        BR3 high

thats a table I did on my own

[rocky cradle]

I actually have FN SCAR-H

hmm

Maybe i should repair both VSS and the SCAR then

Is SCAR good enough as a long range weapon too if i slap a scope on it, or should i look into repairing the SVD or Mk14

[rocky cradle]

Yeah, thats what i was thinking too.. Do you know which faction would sell the 9x39?

I'm still wondering if i should even join any other faction that loner

i was merc on my last save but i think id be hostile to alot of ppl

[tacit yew]

Warsaw pact

[rocky cradle]

Yea

ty kenzy

and yeah i remember VSS being so slick

[tacit yew]

Warsaw pact = 9x39 || NATO = 7.62x51

[rocky cradle]

0 recoil and tears thru armor like nothing

If i have two free stalkers companions and i join mercs, will they be hostile to me? 🤔

[tacit yew]

do some story missions, after you disable brain scorcher mercs & loners befriend

[rocky cradle]

ohh

tyvm, i'll 100% join mercs then after im done with brain scorcher

@quasi rampart @tacit yew ty for the help :)

[cedar raptor]

that blur is normal for a nightvision

[desert robin]

Hunger and thirst would like a word...

[turbid blade]

I have an annoying zoom automatically bound to mouse5. anyone know how I can disable it?

[warped ginkgo]

delete Free_zoomv2.script

[turbid blade]

Thanks 😄

[ancient ruin]

I would like to use the mags mod but i have 2 issues:
Im trying to load a mag into a weapon by pressing r and sometimes it works but half the time it just puts away the weapon and the takes it back out without loading the mag.
Secondly, how can i actually get additional mags for weapons.
Thanks

[turbid blade]

You need to make sure you have the mags equipped. Either right click on the mag or hold ctrl and click. There should be a blue icon over the mag once it is useable with the reload key

[harsh frost]

right click on the mags and "add them to loadout" so that they can be used, having them in the inventory without being in the loadout won't do anything, and they are sold by traders

[ancient ruin]

ok thank you!

[brave nexus]

Anyone know if there is an easy-ish way to get the traders selling guns again ? i've tried turning a couple of things off here and there to see if it changed anything but could'nt seem to work it out

[gusty path]

turn off gamma economy and bas injection

in mo2

[brave nexus]

😄 yay that easy huh

[gusty path]

yep

[brave nexus]

Cool cool thanks saved me a lot of guesswork

[desert robin]

How do you get to Great swamps from cordon? Theres a Travel marker but when you go there its fenced off...?!

[gusty path]

gotta find the patch around the fence i guess?

[north turret]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/830385500887711786/937043907005530152/caption.gif

[rocky cradle]

what kind of gear should i try to get before thinking about going to disable the brain scorcher? If i remember right that place was a monolith hellhole

[gusty path]

good ballistics on a suit, good radio/psych on helmet

but thas my personal preference

[north turret]

At minimum a skat suit with a apocalypse helmet, and lots of ammo

depending on difficulty ofc

[rocky cradle]

hard/surv

my setup atm

recently fixed up that guardian of freedom

[north turret]

Looks good yes

[rocky cradle]

Hmm, maybe i'll go check out the army warehouses, theres sometimes some monolith there

[north turret]

now bring about 300/400 ammo with you lol

[rocky cradle]

haha ye

tbh.. getting to the scorcher was a pain in the ass on my last save too

[north turret]

you need to proceed through there to go to radar anyway

[rocky cradle]

yeah

[north turret]

If I recall correctly

[rocky cradle]

ye ur correct

[mental bear]

so couple questions very noob, my pda wont work and i just started? it is equipped. Also whenever I pick weapons i never spawn with them?

[north turret]

scorcher I'd always the biggest pain

[last spire]

If i wanna update the client i do it over the launcher or?

[north turret]

Whenever you pick up weapons.... check your inventory maybe....

[rocky cradle]

yeah man.. i remember having like 10sec left to find the switch when i went in the first time

the way back from there was fucking amazing though

[north turret]

victory scream

[mental bear]

cant open pda , when i pick my loadout in beggining i never get the weapons. maybe game bugged

[north turret]

do you know what the controls are first of all

[mental bear]

yup got keymap open

[north turret]

pressing the inventory does nothing huh?

[gusty path]

your loadout options are broken?

show me your Mo2

[mental bear]

inventory works

[gusty path]

likely broken install

[north turret]

probably

[north turret]

could've expanded the profiles

[mental bear]

sorry man im so new lol

[gusty path]

what did you add?

[mental bear]

nothing.

[gusty path]

ok, lemme update then

[north turret]

highly suspicious

[rocky cradle]

did u follow #old-how-to closely?

when u installed that stuff

[north turret]

where did you install the game

[mental bear]

to the T the only thing i messed up with was i didnt load up stalker when i first downloaded.

[gusty path]

and you fixed that obv or it wouldnt launch

[north turret]

.

[gusty path]

why does location of install matter?

[north turret]

doesn't it break in C?

[gusty path]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[north turret]

I thought it did

[rocky cradle]

ye i think there was a mention about that u shouldnt install in root, idk

[gusty path]

some people only have one drive

theyd be SOL if that was the case

[mental bear]

i installed in my download folder

not C:

[gusty path]

anyway dev, im updating so gimme a sec

[north turret]

sure

[gusty path]

if you did it today, this should put me in the same spot as you on a clean install

[mental bear]

ok

[north turret]

hmmm

[rocky cradle]

i mean thats there, does it affect anything?

[gusty path]

perhaps?

[north turret]

that's why I asked

those things

[mental bear]

so maybe move to desktop and reload everything?

change destinations etc

[north turret]

You can try, I guess

on a clean install everything should work as intended such as opening pda and stuff

[gusty path]

that

[north turret]

thanks

[rocky cradle]

btw, brain scorcher only has bloodcykas in there right?

[mental bear]

when i press M i can hear the pda making the noise but nothing happens

[gusty path]

it might not be able to call the mods being in the downloads folder

[rocky cradle]

i dont want to get fucked by a surprise controller or smt

[north turret]

I had a chimera and a controller outside

[gusty path]

oh

pda is tab bro

[north turret]

kekw

[rocky cradle]

ohhhhhhhhhh

[gusty path]

thought you had the #│💻keybinds-in-gamma up

[rocky cradle]

lol

[mental bear]

na tab dont do anything

[north turret]

?????

[gusty path]

then shits broken

[rocky cradle]

go to keybindings

whats ur PDA bound to?

[north turret]

yes

[gusty path]

the M key is for night vision scopes

[mental bear]

P for some reason but that doesnt do anything either

[rocky cradle]

hmm

okay

[mental bear]

M is for map

[rocky cradle]

m opens pda too

[north turret]

no.

[gusty path]

no

[mental bear]

yes.

[gusty path]

no

[rocky cradle]

im just using atm cuz i dont have a scope with NV yet

[mental bear]

oh

[gusty path]

mcm is overwritten by other things on this

[north turret]

NO.

[mental bear]

than my game is broke

[north turret]

M is night vision scope

[mental bear]

gonna just do a clean install

thanks fellas

[rocky cradle]

gl

[north turret]

welcome

[gusty path]

THIS is the keymap you should trust

[mental bear]

ok

[gusty path]

because this is how its setup via grok

change in your settings/keybinds at your whim

cause i hate the crouch settings from default lol

[north turret]

you can customize but it shouldn't interfere with other keybinds

[mental bear]

yea when i launched game a few of the binds were not the same as keymap

[gusty path]

but ye, delete mods folder

[rocky cradle]

i hate the sprint default

[north turret]

God typing on phone is so aids

[mental bear]

so sorry for confusion

[north turret]

it's ok

[rocky cradle]

makes me sick

[gusty path]

or wait a day and do a full reinstall in a different location

[rocky cradle]

np

[gusty path]

@mental bear if youre doing a full install somewhere be careful, you can get flagged on moddb as a bot and theyll block you for an hour or so

[north turret]

fail to install
get banned
kekw

[mental bear]

i downloaded and installed a few days ago loaded game up and just now playing today is it based on installing to many times a day? if so im in clear.

[gusty path]

i mean youre hitting their servers with 200+ requests

yes itd be in one day

[north turret]

only 200

not much

[gusty path]

not much... over and over and over again lol

[north turret]

you installed it ona clean anomaly install right

[mental bear]

yes

[gusty path]

cool

[north turret]

awesome

[mental bear]

ill b back gonna give a clean install a shot

[gusty path]

but yeah, open groks updater, update your data, then do complete gamma install

[mental bear]

thanks again

[north turret]

👍

[mental bear]

so, should i just delete everything and start fresh from step 1?

[gusty path]

in a folder like my games or something yeah

[mental bear]

ok

[gusty path]

holler if youre still having issues

[desert robin]

Is there no way to break skinning animations or anything? Skinning something and seeing glowing eyes charging at me is a bit of a "Ffs"

[gusty path]

not to my knowledge

that do be pucker factor 9000

[gusty path]

your MO2 should have 231 mods selected by default, depending on your system we can then use #old-framerate-optimisation to adjust to needs

[north turret]

that's the fun of it, seeing death coming at you

[tidal raft]

you are MO2

[gusty path]

Smartass

[rocky cradle]

[tidal raft]

Always.

[gusty path]

better than being a dumbass.

https://tenor.com/view/fo-sho-snoop-dogg-for-sure-gif-10890829

[north turret]

sho

[normal cloud]

does someone know where i can find the scout in the northern part of the swap ? i searched 3 positions in the northern part but i dont find him

[tidal raft]

He's nearby the most central northern campfire. Second campfire west from Machine Yard.

His spawn is a little inconsistent, but search around carefully and you'll find him eventually.

[normal cloud]

thanks man

found him

[graceful pier]

My game keeps crashing on quicksave. Is this a known issue?

and now loading

[outer mist]

Question, is there a document that shows the stats of the various weapons with GAMMA installed, I found one for base Anomaly, but I don't see one for GAMMA or Boomsticks and Sharpsticks...

[wind forum]

Just use debug menu

[warped ginkgo]

you mean the typical F5 save? or the daddy token

because if you are using the token to save, it's meant to crash

[graceful pier]

Regular F5

[outer mist]

Gotcha, ty

[graceful pier]

Am reinstalling and using debug to get my stuff back

[empty monolith]

Hey, it says I don't have Stalker Anomaly installed, but I do

@gusty path

[gusty path]

then you didnt point MO2 to the right place or you didnt put the portable.txt file where it belongs

[empty monolith]

I put it in the same folder as the mod organizer

[gusty path]

anomaly needs to be in its own folder

MO2 instances the mods so that things work correctly

[empty monolith]

My anomaly game file is in the Games directory

[gusty path]

ok, then you did something wrong during the portable.txt step

[gusty path]

is it read only?

the folder as a whole?

[empty monolith]

wait a second I added ".txt" to the portable txt and the mod organizer exe is now called portable

[crisp quartz]

Best way to check ammo in mag?

[empty monolith]

I don't think so

[gusty path]

odd

[rocky cradle]

theres a keybind for that

cant remember the default

[crisp quartz]

will have a closer look

[empty monolith]

but does it need to be in read only

[gusty path]

no

nothing should be in read only

was just making sure

[empty monolith]

alright, when I try to create an instance it gives me an option to create a global and a portable instance but it checks out the portable choice

I also get this whenever I open mo2

[gusty path]

because it cant find anomaly it looks like to me

[empty monolith]

that's odd, do you have a clue how I can make it find it?

[gusty path]

start over

and do a clean install

[empty monolith]

both gamma and anomaly?

[gusty path]

just gamma

its the only thing i can think of until someone smarter than me pitches in

[empty monolith]

alright, here I go again for the third time haha

[empty monolith]

ok I re downloaded it again

[gusty path]

just keep the zips dude

you dont have to re download every time

[nocturne merlin]

in warefare mode, what are resources supposed to represent? what do they do exactly?

[gusty path]

thats not gamma, thats anomaly

[empty monolith]

if the file is somehow corrupted maybe it's from the zip

[gusty path]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

true

[empty monolith]

that's why I downloaded it again

ok

portable is where it should be

ha nice

it doesn't give me an error when I open the mo2

from gammas installer

[gusty path]

thats the only mo2 youre supposed to use

[empty monolith]

looks like it was the portable file, I created the wrong variant

[gusty path]

gotcha

its working now?

[empty monolith]

the mo2 opened without any error messages so I'm assuming the rest is good

I'm going to follow the rest of the installation, I'll tell you if it works

[gusty path]

🤞

[empty monolith]

fr

when I'm creating the portable instance I need to choose the anomaly game file right?

[gusty path]

when MO2 asks for the location of the game its supposed to do stuff for yes

you direct it to the folder anomaly is in

[empty monolith]

alright thank you

huh

0 mods

[gusty path]

you DID complete install correct?

gamma rc1 downloads and mods folders are full of files?

[empty monolith]

oh alright forget about it, forgot about that part

[gusty path]

https://tenor.com/view/hot-so-hot-summer-sweating-sweating-hard-gif-16045826

[empty monolith]

xD

how do I activate all the mods at once

[gusty path]

they should have all been activated

the ones that are supposed to be anyway

close mo2 and open the shortcut that should be on your desktop

[empty monolith]

I did

[gusty path]

and none of them are selected?

[empty monolith]

I had 39 mods activated

[gusty path]

are all 230 + there?

lemme see your mo2 pls

[empty monolith]

I activated some manually

but it was 39 mods

[gusty path]

okay, well dont enable ANY of the ones under gamma disabled

for one

[warped ginkgo]

Hes missing mods

[gusty path]

theyre disabled for a reason

[brisk zinc]

Maybe he's blocked on Moddb

[warped ginkgo]

Where did you install gamma?

[gusty path]

finally, help

[warped ginkgo]

Cuz the console says you have everything on desktop

[empty monolith]

from the link that grok provided

[empty monolith]

ikr

[brisk zinc]

?

[warped ginkgo]

Yes

Grok Launcher is from github

[brisk zinc]

Oh wrong quote, okay

[empty monolith]

in #old-how-to

[empty monolith]

yea sorry about that

[warped ginkgo]

But then the Launcher starts using moddb servers to download the addons

[empty monolith]

wait lemme check if im blocked

[warped ginkgo]

If you try reinstalling various times, moddb defines nyou as a bot

And blocks you for X time

[empty monolith]

I'm good

I can get in

[warped ginkgo]

Try downloading

Any stalker addon

To see if a message pops up

When you install gamma/anomaly

[warped ginkgo]

Avoid desktop or program files

[brisk zinc]

#📢announcements message
@empty monolith are you using this one too?

[warped ginkgo]

Cuz windows blocks these places

[empty monolith]

yes

[brisk zinc]

Just making sure

[empty monolith]

so should I place gamma and anomaly in Games?

[warped ginkgo]

I installed gamma and anomaly

On a rmpty folder in C

[brisk zinc]

As long as it isn't Desktop or Program Files you're good

[warped ginkgo]

C:/Stalker/

And inside i put everything

[brisk zinc]

Two differents folder, one for GAMMA and one for Anomaly

[empty monolith]

it is though, will I have to restart everything?

[warped ginkgo]

Yea

[brisk zinc]

Move the folders to another directory

[empty monolith]

alright moving it to games

[brisk zinc]

Just don't use those

[brisk zinc]

Perfect

[empty monolith]

alright now what

[brisk zinc]

Open your "downloads" folder and take a screenshot

Inside GAMMA

Or just tell me how many mods do you have

[empty monolith]

4

[brisk zinc]

Yeah not good

[gusty path]

oh god

[empty monolith]

feck sake

[brisk zinc]

I guess it's just Moddb being Moddb

[gusty path]

^

[brisk zinc]

Shitty servers and all

[gusty path]

youre blocked but not lol

[empty monolith]

exactly

[brisk zinc]

Yeah just shitty servers, not his fault

[empty monolith]

can someone be awesome and just share a game file with me cuz I'm done haha

[brisk zinc]

At this point delete "downloads" and "mods" folder

Then open the installer

[empty monolith]

alright

did it

[brisk zinc]

Leave this on

[brisk zinc]

Start praying

[warped ginkgo]

I would suggest

Just leaving It there downloading

and avoid opening programs/ Google tabs

[brisk zinc]

Yes, don't touch anything 😛

[empty monolith]

alright

at this point I'm dying, it's 1 AM

[brisk zinc]

Check the command window if you notice errors

[empty monolith]

On a school night

alright

[gusty path]

well let it DL then and get to sleep

school is more important and the zone will be there tomorrow comrade

[empty monolith]

yeah, Ima just let this complete and then Ima turn off

I need to do some stuff before going to bed so yeah

[brisk zinc]

If you need the computer, create a new desktop

Windows key + TAB

Or you can use that button if you have it

[proven thorn]

Occasionally I'll open an NPC trade window and a toolkit will disappear immediately, is that normal?

[gusty path]

depending on your framerate, certain scripts that are running are ... "visible" in action

but yeah, its part of the scripting that makes one or more of the mods for gamma

its immersion breaking sure, but its not so bad

[empty monolith]

this is taking a good while, it's still like this 10 minutes

can I suspend the computer and it'll keep installing?

[warped ginkgo]

no idea

[brisk zinc]

Leave it on

[empty monolith]

alright

[faint valley]

how i can disable 3d scopes? the framerate is killing me :C

[warped ginkgo]

pip scopes? it kills everyone frames lol

there are really few scopes like that, what are you using?

[faint valley]

there are some scope that drop some sort of npc but is like x2.5-x3, and is the only scope that i found

[dapper iron]

Whats the default mutant and stalker population factor in ZCP?. I touch the slider and now I dont remember the default value

[proven thorn]

seems to be 0.6

[brittle kestrel]

Since you're meant to get armor from stashes and looting, is there any way to get a specific faction's armor besides farming them? It feels a little weird to be baiting mutants into groups of friendlies because you want your own faction's gear.

[north turret]

Lol. maybe there can be some sort of exchange system where you trade a perfect condition armor for your factions equivalent

[wind forum]

hey, i wonder which setting is to switch between scopes? toggle scope only tries taking off the scope my weapon has, while i want to switch to the red dot sight on the gun

[winter gust]

it's the underbarrel grenade launcher key

[timid edge]

how do i clean a gun barrel in the gun?

[wind forum]

ahhhh thx

[wind forum]

if it's not too damaged, then you can use the appropriate repair kit, like gun repair kit, army rifle repair kit, etc. by right clicking on the weapon and press maintain parts

[timid edge]

i need an actual repair kit to clean the barrel? ugh, i've yet to see an armor repair kit.

[gusty path]

technicians start selling repair kits at lvl 2 or 3 i think

[marsh hatch]

Uh guys

My game is all grey textured

[graceful pier]

Are armor fabrics intended to be repaired? I can find the kit to repair gun parts, but various suit parts are all in terrible condition, and I don't see anything to fix it.

[brittle kestrel]

can I turn off the PiP scopes? they are so laggy in my game that I just can't use them.

[nimble axle]

in vanilla anomaly you could hold TAB to see your current objective and a bit of text about it. is there a way to do that in GAMMA? didn't see any keybind for it on the keybind sheet

[marsh hatch]

Boot up Analmeme Vanilla, look for that keybind. Then, go back to GAMMA and search for that keybind.

[nimble axle]

thanls @marsh hatch! went to Controls > Keybinds > PDA > Task Info and set that to "P"

so now if i hit P i get that task info about whatever my active quest is.

[marsh hatch]

Glad I can help

[supple wasp]

is it ok to turn these 2 on?

[warped ginkgo]

i didn't turn those

no idea if it will crash

try enabling those, and if something crash/ isn't loading properly disable it and play normally

[supple wasp]

tks

[nimble axle]

hrmm. here's a new one. crashing whenever I hit "z" to unjam?

[warped ginkgo]

hi there again. game crush when i am enter Great Swamps

I hear shooting, then the game crashes with an error

[warped ginkgo]

when was the last time you updated gamma?

[weary birch]

when i download mod, about one week

[weary birch]

may i need to update by gamma installer?

[warped ginkgo]

Yes, you always updaye vía gamma onstaller

[noble oar]

how do you use the canted sights?

[warped ginkgo]

Go ti the launcher, update gamma data

Update gamma installation

then you wait

But be careful

Nh

Nothing

[weary birch]

understand, thx u

updating

[warped ginkgo]

Underbarrel keyvond

[weary birch]

i got this? now i can load save?

[warped ginkgo]

Try it

[weary birch]

😦

[warped ginkgo]

No idea then

Sorry

[weary birch]

no problem, thanks a lot for trying, I appreciate it!

[obtuse rune]

In MO2 what version is your Groks_Balanced_Overhaul_Of_Ballistics_System (priority 170) and Duxs_Innumerable_Character_Kit (priority 36)?

@weary birch

[willow hawk]

[willow hawk]

Just update bro

[willow hawk]

You don't care MO2

[willow hawk]

Perform a clean install #old-how-to last message

[weary birch]

[obtuse rune]

Yeah you should update, those are old ones

[weary birch]

i update and i see this

i press reinstall but this doesnt help

[empty monolith]

@gusty path @brisk zinc @warped ginkgo 5 hours later and I already have 231 mods activated, finally

[gusty path]

ayyyy

[empty monolith]

but it still gives an error

[gusty path]

what now

[empty monolith]

wait a sec

[gusty path]

#│🔧troubleshooting message

try that perhaps?

thats not one ive run into personally

[empty monolith]

trying to run it again

same error again

[gusty path]

welp, we're gonna have to wait for someone smarter than me now

[empty monolith]

yea

I need to log for now but if somebody knows how to fix this, Im all ears

[tidal raft]

800x600 desktop!?

[north turret]

W7?

[willow hawk]

not an issue don't worry

[vivid basin]

yo yo

just got the modpack

how do i use the pda ?

[gusty path]

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[vivid basin]

cause just pressing tab whips it out but how do i interact with it

[gusty path]

click

mousewheel, etc

[willow hawk]

If you are new to Anomaly, don't play in Hard ;)

[vivid basin]

hehe no worries i didn't

[willow hawk]

👍

[vivid basin]

but yeah when i use the pda i just whip it out in first person

but scrolling switches weapon etc

[gusty path]

gotta left click

[vivid basin]

aightio

[willow hawk]

Because often I see people going hard / survivalist but they don't know the base game mechanics

[gusty path]

then you can scroll, left clicking brings it up into your face

[vivid basin]

yeah i'm guessing the game is entirely different from the other stalkers

[willow hawk]

Just click with the cursor on the PDA screen ?

[willow hawk]

From the original ones ? Oh yeah

Original master difficulty is like easy mode here

But GAMMA is fair and rewarding

[vivid basin]

tbh i just played on easy on the other stalkers purely because i hated the bullet sponges

[willow hawk]

Have fun

Ah makes sense

Here if you have the right ammo, there's no bullet sponges

If you use 9x18 FMJ on an exo, then you have a bullet sponge for sure

[vivid basin]

yeah makes sense

is it the other way around tho ?

if a lowly scum bandit shoots my exo with his pea shooter will i also be laughing it off

[willow hawk]

yes

In exos with proper attachments you are nearly invincible

There's still some progress to do on damages to player though

[gusty path]

kill mercs till you find one or check stashes once you have the coordinates

yeah i got no idea then

[north turret]

I don't mean to offend , but some of these are genuinely funny to read

again I don't mean to offend I was confused at the beginning too

[empty monolith]

No

[fresh fiber]

I have noticed that there seem to be a lot more people and action going in Cordon than the last time I played a few weeks ago. I even got attacked by two ISG guys with tacticool M4 near the broken bridge. Did something change or is it just RNG ?

[willow hawk]

They do don't worry

[rocky cradle]

should i have "enchanced recoil effects" ticked in options btw? ive had it on all this time and idk if gamma already has something like that

[weary birch]

are u sure? now my game crush when i load save...

[willow hawk]

cause you didn't tick MagsRedux?

[willow hawk]

No you shouldn't

[rocky cradle]

alright

[willow hawk]

GAMMA Already has its builtin recoil

[rocky cradle]

ty

anyone know of a fix for the binoculars on ultrawide? looks jank

or maybe even a way to delete that original texture altogether if no fix patch anywhere

[weary birch]

I'm very inattentive, thanks a lot

[weary birch]

I probably already got you with my problems. in general, I'm sorry, but I really like playing gamma, so I ask for help all the time

[willow hawk]

[rocky cradle]

Any reason why gamma npcs cannot see through foliage is in the "GAMMA Disabled"-Section? not safe to use or?

[willow hawk]

I don't like it :p

[rocky cradle]

aight

cuz i just had a nightmare of a firefight, gonna enable it from now on

big squad of bandits all hiding in bushes with hardcore AI aim on

[strong osprey]

@willow hawk when you post an update do i have to manually update the gamma launcher? i see there are tons of small updates in the update tab in the discord. if my game is running fine do i need those updates?

[willow hawk]

not necessarily

Check #📢announcements for big updates

[strong osprey]

@willow hawk awesome, one more thing. im running the best night-vision in game right now. the white one with oculus sight but its still green just like the tier 1 night-vision goggles. is this a bug or was it made that way on purpose?

Check Beef's NVG

[main warren]

Hi STALKERS , i got performance issues when fighting with enemies,is there anything i can do about that? Already did everything said in framerate optimisation channel , even when i play on direct x 10 i still have problems ....Also how can i get better weapons , the only way is that i repair the ones i find in enemies? sorry for bad english

[tidal raft]

Why not?

[warped ginkgo]

kinda dumbs down the npc IA in general, or that's what i read

[wraith knoll]

does anyone know if there are compatible winter mod?

[tidal raft]

The AI is really bad in general anyway, given they can already shoot through walls—why give them the benefit of shooting through foliage?

[oblique onyx]

I agree

[strong osprey]

SOS i need someone to join a call with me that has the time to talk me through how to fix my game. i updated on accident and now everything is different and my original problem still exists. not sure what i did wrong. just DM me please

[winter owl]

is there a way to pause/resume the installation? it's been 12 hours...

[oblique onyx]

@winter owl #│🔧troubleshooting message

That's all I got

[willow hawk]

BAS is quite heavy and moddb servers are shit :(

You might luckier downloading it manually and adding it to the downloads folder

In GAMMA RC1

[royal river]

noob question, how often do you guys recommend updating?

i see some activity in updates channel since i did my install

so is it recommended to just update or fresh install?

[winter owl]

So if i close the installer it will resume from the remaining mods when reopened? Also i have BaS downloaded just need to move it

[willow hawk]

Just do that.

Yes it will restart from where it's left

Just move all your downloaded add-ons to the downloads folder

It will be miles faster

[winter owl]

got it, thanks grok

[willow hawk]

Just check what are the updates ;)

[royal river]

I see, i'll try updating, if i fuck up somehow i'll just do fresh install. Thanks alot, i really appreciate your work Grok!

[willow hawk]

[tacit yew]

Not anymore since he nerfed the only way to reliable farm money (artifacts)

[tidal raft]

You get a lot of money for doing tasks. I haven't searched for artefacts at all and grew riches up to three million after forty-ish hours.

[oblique onyx]

Does anyone know how many story questlines there are?

[tacit yew]

Do u still using those guns u said last time we chat?

[tidal raft]

Most likely, yes.

[tidal raft]

Now I run a new file and currently have a M4 Carbine Tactical with a USP March and Carabineer as side-arms. At least until I find more powerful firearms.

[ivory sage]

Anyone happen to know where the files for the meds (more specifically max uses for them) are located? I would like to mod and adjust the values if possible. I have been digging around the files and looked in all the likely places.

[scenic pulsar]

hi, I just got CTD, is there any file with crash report I can post in #old-bugs ?

[obtuse rune]

look under appdata/logs/xray_name.log

[scenic pulsar]

yeah, I was looking there but no "fatal error" at the end of the log, only error, I guess I'll post the end of it, thanks

[warped ginkgo]

did you launch the game after crashing?

the log gets overwritten if you do that

[scenic pulsar]

no

It just crashed

I got "error" at the end of the file, but no fatal error

i guess error might be the cause too

[forest lichen]

Hello, just wondering if the installer choose the best mirror for our locations/ping ?
I know moddb limit the download speed but it has been a few hours and I'm still downloading files with a 100 mb/s fiber connection (atm downloading ambientmusicpack2.8.rar)

[obtuse rune]

Right now I think it's a random mirror from a list

[willow hawk]

You can pick the mirror yourself

https://www.moddb.com/downloads/start/182679/all?referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.moddb.com%2Fmods%2Fstalker-anomaly%2Faddons%2Fboomsticks-and-sharpsticks

[rocky cradle]

any repercussions for killing other free stalkers as one other than potential rep loss?

[willow hawk]

getting ganked

[rocky cradle]

just bounties?

just making sure every free stalker in the world isnt gonna get pissed off at me

[willow hawk]

most

[languid leaf]

is the only way of getting advanced weapon repair tools finding them in stashes or crafting them?

[willow hawk]

just disguise yourself @rocky cradle

[willow hawk]

both

you can craft them or get them in stashes

[languid leaf]

cheers

[willow hawk]

expert is only findable in stashes after Red Forest

[languid leaf]

ah that makes sense

[vivid basin]

Is Hip fucking unkillable in cordon ??

Are 6 buckshots to the face not enough ?

[forest lichen]

Alright ty for the quick answer. I'm still downloading files is it safe to stop it now to change the mirror and restart it by reopening the program or will it start from zero after closing ?

In "vanilla" anomaly if you're using the stealth kill experimental feature you just have to kill from far away and stay low for 300s then it's all forgotten (hence why it's still experimental (not balanced atm))

I don't want to screw your game if you're playing ironman but when I was doing that quest I figured that most of the neutral stalker don't care at all.. (I shot a loner stalker right in front of others loners in the laundromat (outskirts) and no one flinched except telling me to put my weapon down.. Don't know if you tried but you might be able to do the same shenanigans

[willow hawk]

yes it's safe don't worry

[forest lichen]

Nice ty again for the answer and most of all for the amazing work can't wait to try out gamma

Welp.. I only see one solutions but it's a bit wonky.. if the npc is not in the sight of the others you can also use knife to kill them instantly and without noise and lay low for 300s.. By default it's only with Spetnaz switchblade but you can change it in the config

I don't know what to say.. If you don't have an angle if the npc don't move at all and the others never leave sight of him I don't see how you can pull that off.. Maybe luring mutants near them to make them move giving you an opportunity to take a shot/cut his throat

As for the exo if the game consider you "hiding" it doesn't matter what armor they're wearing. It's a one shot with any weapon with a silencer / knife

Last shot but since the guy seems to be in front of a windows, you can start the game with debug since you don't use ironman, and type "demo_record 1" fly to a nearby building then press enter you will spawn where your camera was. Take the shot then you can do the same to get off the roof

Only work if the npc isn't aware of your presence and it's not working every time (Sometimes the guy know you're there even if he should not know) but I can't confirm it's working with a shotgun usually when I do that it's with my sidearm

Noice

[willow hawk]

make NPCs your allies with debug menu

[rocky cradle]

Whats the best backpack in the game? my current (tourist) gives +47kg

[graceful iron]

thats the best one

[rocky cradle]

alright, also i saw something regarding improvements to backpacks? or does that just mean crafting a better one

[graceful iron]

i think its just crafting

there is no upgradeable backpacks as far as i know

[rocky cradle]

okay

[rigid lintel]

is it poseble by game to go to bad if i only use F5 ( Quick Save ) only. It started to crash after some time after save and now i when to a new zone somehow whiout crashing i reach a Campfire i Click F5 and it crashesh ( i did that 3 times )

[wraith knoll]

is there any way make work glowstick it seams i unable to throw them at all i try everything

You need to just have them in your hands I believe

im trying to go shut down the brain scorcher but i get the "dangerous psy blabla ahead, protection required" but i already have the helmet, do i also have to use psy-block etc?

[willow hawk]

Do you have the good or the bad helmet

?

the good one

[willow hawk]

ok

[rocky cradle]

i paid top dollar for it

[willow hawk]

Ah you have the icon ?

ye

and the msg pops up

[willow hawk]

and the timer ?

timer is usual

[rocky cradle]

oh no im not inside the bunker yet

im just moving towards the entrance and i get the message

[lyric wave]

Any other way to improve FPS? I tried all the optimizations listed but it still drops frames and stutters a lot too. I have a 3080, 3700x and 16gb ddr4 3200

[graceful iron]

wut

[ivory comet]

Could someone screenshot me what a weapon parts repair kit looks like? I been going back and fourth for a few days now and no mechanic sells it

[tepid wasp]

Right Click any Weapon und check Details.

[gusty path]

hate to tell ya, but if you arent getting ok frames on a 3080 it aint happening

[lyric wave]

i wonder what is different for other people that get better frames on similar specs then lol

[gusty path]

i dont have to do any of the fps stuff for my 970 and i average over 60fps

i have 32 gigs of ram

[graceful iron]

you need to give them an advanced toolkit in their quests first

[gusty path]

anomaly has a memory leak so if its after a while that youre lagging, its the memory leak

[ivory comet]

Ohh ok that makes sense

Thank you

[willow hawk]

Warfare ?

[lyric wave]

warfare is not enabled

[warped ginkgo]

stalker population?

low fps even with 0.25?

[graceful iron]

clear shader cache every once in a while and open the game again

[rotund moss]

gras? for some reason gras tanked a shit load in certain areas of the maps for me

[desert robin]

The "guns drop to bodies" script thats being added in, what happens if the body gets annihilated by an anomaly that swirls you around and rips you apart? Is there any reason this is being added versus the current setup of npcs dropping them?

[rotund moss]

Idk, but something tells me: if you can breath the poor dude/thing, that got caught in, you wont find anything to loot either way

[tidal raft]

It means that NPCs will most likely not drop their weapon on the ground when they die. It is instead kept inside their inventory.
NPC stalkers are not affected by anomalies.

[rotund moss]

thier corspes are, they trigger the anomalies - or did Gamma get rid of the last bit of immersion on the NPCs can do all the shit without having to care department?

[tidal raft]

Corpses sets off anomalies, sure—but the corpses won't be destroyed.

[graceful iron]

i think some gravitational ones do

?

[tidal raft]

Nope.

Only mutants.

[graceful iron]

oh okay

[rotund moss]

okay in the name of science i will shoot Mule No1 - i mean Pashka in the head while he stands in the next whirligig, because i never found that bandit from the other day (bones yes, but they could have been from the zombies that where around as well)

[graceful iron]

for science my frien

[desert robin]

I guess what i was wondering is why the change, is there an issue with them dropping on the ground?

[rotund moss]

idk on my current run they still drop them on the ground, unless they went into "bleed out" before they died/i finished them of, they do seem to fall way closer to the body (unless the body falls/rolls down somewhere - yes i am aware that is more of a slide than a roll)

[desert robin]

Also what are you guys opinions on where the best base is when starting out? Im Stalker in Cordon and have been to no further than Army Warehouses but unsure where i should put a base for all my stuff...

[rotund moss]

Rostok is always a good start, if you dont go to far north that is

[soft cargo]

how do i get that new FDDA update with the new backpack anim in the AIO w/o it crashing?

[graceful iron]

its in already

just enable it in mcm

but not recommended

[soft cargo]

the anim is not working ok will do

ill lyk if it shows up

i didnt know its a selectable in mcm

[rotund moss]

take a look in MCM you will find it there, just be aware of the busy hands bug, so dont go to fast with your actions

[graceful iron]

its off by default cuz it causes issues

[soft cargo]

oh ok thank you so much guys i just reinstalled the whole 52 gigs twice just to find that out

i feel dumb haha

[graceful iron]

oof

wait

[soft cargo]

i want that sweet ass new backpack anim

[graceful iron]

when you need to fix anything just delete mods folder and then do update gamma data and then complete gamma installation (in the installer) no need for deleting anything else

[fading rose]

Actually i improved my fps a lot turning down world distance the less than half (dont affect my eyes or the trees) and gives a big fps boost, maybe it helps.

[warped ginkgo]

no need to delete the 'downloads' folder

[graceful iron]

especially this

[soft cargo]

word that takes sooooo mf long tho, thats literally just a fresh install everytime the thing updates

[warped ginkgo]

if you delete the 'mods' folder and then reinstall, it will check if there are any new updates for the addons that are in the modpack, if there's none or 1/2, it will download those new zips, and then it will extract the zips inside 'downloads'

[fading rose]

The only problem i have is the inventory one of GAMMA UI where the things doesnt display correctly, idk how to fix that.

only way i found is to disable gamma ui (is sad because it looks neat).

[rotund moss]

okay now i have a question, is it intended that PDA 3.1 can spawn in low tier stashes in Army Warehouse? i dont even have advanced tools yet - feels kinda sus

[graceful iron]

did you enable any extra mods in the pack?

[warped ginkgo]

no, probably zcp loot

[fading rose]

magazines redux, only that.

[rotund moss]

and now?

[warped ginkgo]

no idea

i don't play with zcp

[graceful iron]

and did you open the anomaly launcher and change to borderless and to your screen's resolution?

[fading rose]

the problem is that

is fixed when i disable gamma ui, i dont really care but i starting to see more people with the same "bug".

[warped ginkgo]

dx8?

[fading rose]

i think today ill make a fresh reinstall maybe it fixes.

i play at fullscreen dx11 1920x1080

[graceful iron]

weird

[warped ginkgo]

what npc is that

[fading rose]

yeap ill try a reinstall in a new anomaly game

[graceful iron]

not anomaly

[fading rose]

sid

[graceful iron]

unless you changed something with the anomaly folder it should be normal and no need to reinstall it

you do a complete installation in the gamma installer to fix most bugs

and you make sure you have the latest v3 installer from the #📢announcements channel

[fading rose]

yes i have it, but ill check anomaly folder

wait i remember something

i used an AnomalyDX11AVX.exe that grok posted here

for more "performance" maybe it has something to do, will try with the default anomaly exe

[graceful iron]

could be

[desert robin]

Why dont mutants go in toe-deep, shallow water?

[graceful iron]

their AI and same for stalkers

there is some water areas where they can go

but most they cant

no pathfinding

[desert robin]

Hypothetically is there a way to fix that if someone got creative with some editor or script or something?

[graceful iron]

i dont know myself maybe someone else here knows

[rotund moss]

the science was done, Mule No1 - i mean pashkas body has not triggered the whirligig, how ever his weapon went to the moon or somewhere in that direction

after i triggered it*

[graceful iron]

lol

science complete

still had to interfere since mistakes (bugs) can happen

👍

[graceful iron]

so having their guns inside their inventory when they die should theoretically be better

[rotund moss]

in terms of keeping the guns "save" yes, we should keep in mind, that fruitpunch, i think gas, for certain burners destroy iteams that are inside of them, while shooting at Monolith i noticed that many of them go into bleed out around half of the time (from what it felt like), im certain thats because of the Balistic/Armor changes and the fact that im shooting toes, how ever "one shoting" a dude/girl (yes so far i found 4 other woman, beside Hip durring my run) will still let them drop the gun on the floor, at least in my case, there is a empty spot in thier inventory while looting tho - so i assume something went wrong with the script on my end

[warped ginkgo]

if to this date there isn't any big mod for the IA, i don't think it's that easy xd

[soft cargo]

it worked im so happy thanks guys

How do i get this Visual magazines in the right side of the screen. I have seen it in some screenshots here

[brisk zinc]

Be careful though, if you save your game with this add-on enabled, you can't turn it off

[last spire]

strange i have that enabled

Or shoulld i unable it

[brisk zinc]

Like I said, you can't disable it for your current game

If you want to start a new save without it you can

[soft cargo]

nvm i just tried to turn on like the trader over haul and the mags redux now after checking those two boxes and even unchecking and relaunching now the game wont even launch now

i swear if i have to sit thru this shit again

so funny how convienent i read that shit now

[brisk zinc]

Are you using it?

Don't, it's very buggy

[last spire]

Well thx for the help 😄

[soft cargo]

i turned it on and it permacrashed my brand new newly updated working ass game

[brisk zinc]

It should be that add-on, with all the magazines on screen

[soft cargo]

so what should i do delete mods and start from scratch again?

[brisk zinc]

IIRC there is a way to disable it

[soft cargo]

FFS

i just had this working not even 5 minutes ago that was the third time i sat thru the install

[brisk zinc]

Can you at least get to the main menu?

[soft cargo]

no

its permacrash

i had everything working to PUT THAT OF VALUBLE INFO IN THE README GROK

that kind of*

or take it the F out dude

[brisk zinc]

It's disabled by default

But I agree with you, it should be written somewhere

[soft cargo]

yea get it the F out for newbs that can be like "Oh well i want mags"

[brisk zinc]

I need to start taking notes

[rotund moss]

errrm.... in case "Sharik the Twilight" dies to a psydog and his 5 friends right after i spawned in a fresh run, i just have to go to the swamp to start the new storyline, yes?

[soft cargo]

and then they F the whole game up and go play something else

[brisk zinc]

You just enabled the backpack?

Send in #old-bugs your crash log, you can find it in Anomaly\appdata\logs, xray_yournamehere.log

Maybe it's something else

The backpack causes issues, not crashes

[soft cargo]

202 - MagsRedux.2022

[brisk zinc]

It would be the first time (for me)

[rotund moss]

@soft cargo in case you try to start in DX9 it doesnt work, just in case

[brisk zinc]

Okay, did you DISABLE it? Before starting the game?

[soft cargo]

I ENABLED IT TO TURN ON MAGS

THATS WHAT ANYONE IS GONNA THINK THAT IS

Ugh

[brisk zinc]

Okay, now you know that you can't disable it

Question is, can you start the game without it?

[soft cargo]

no i cannot even get to the menu now from mo2

[brisk zinc]

But if you turn it on it works

[soft cargo]

no it crashed everything turning it on

[brisk zinc]

That's strange

[brisk zinc]

^

[soft cargo]

well u have things in the mod that if u check once will in fact crash the entire thing and make u have to reinstall the entire thing again

[brisk zinc]

I know but 202 it's save related, it doesn't stop you to start your game (and this is what I know, being a simple person like you, I don't mod games)

Send your log so that everyone can see it, maybe there is something else

[soft cargo]

how do i do that

[brisk zinc]

^

[soft cargo]

i put in lootboxes mod post install into gammas economy and craft section at the bottom because i had no problem the last time i had this running with it, so DONT tell me that cuz your wrong

no one to help go figure

[warped ginkgo]

Is that the log after the crash?

Because everytime you launch the game the log gets overwritten

[soft cargo]

dude i just did what he said and yes

[warped ginkgo]

well, theres nothing useful in that log

So no idea

[soft cargo]

cool man

it wont launch its insta crash now

*guess ill reinstall it a 4th, 5th time today, idk man, ive lost count

[brisk zinc]

@soft cargo I know how you feel because I've been there, I've tried to install the damn thing maybe 10 times in a row, Moddb blocked me because I looked like a bot, not once but many times
And as bad as it is to hear that, for now, one of the best, easiest and fastest ways to troubleshoot is to delete that "mods" folder and restart the installation
Also, consider that you are using a mod that is not included in the list, I know it worked before but maybe that mod is the problem, who knows? And consider that the pack, for now, is still in beta, it is not official and it is not ready, there are always problems

[soft cargo]

im using a mod that has compatibility built into the pack for it

its not there i had to put in lootboxes last time and last time i had no probs, but there was an update recently that threw in the feel frieds new backpack anim so i not knowing how to get it to update redownloaded everything fresh and after a few installs today, got it running smoothly then i came out thinking oohh ill try the mag mod and turned on 202 and slapped in lootboxes at the bottom of crafting and economly and i got CTD every time, sall good im reinstalling now and NOT SCREWING WITH CRAP AFTER THAT!!! AMEN BRUTHER!

[warped ginkgo]

🤨

even disabling the addons that you activated/added?

[soft cargo]

yea still homie

[brisk zinc]

We'll find a solution, don't worry

[soft cargo]

it was unfortunate BUT i love this pack to the moon so imma diligently get this working again

cries internally as hard drive spins slower twords impending doom

[brisk zinc]

It's still weird however that you've gotten to the point where you can't even get to the menu, seriously

Not your fault obviously, it's just weird

[soft cargo]

i know its all good thanks for the backpack help at least, i was at least right about reinstalling the shit to see the backpack anim check box showing up so i did HAVE it working just a sec ago. But alas, here goes try 5

[brisk zinc]

I'm pretty sure the backpack animation is off since it have bugs and causes busy hands

[desert robin]

Do all settings in The Zone > Warfare ONLY affect warfare mode and nothing else at all?

[vivid basin]

Yo yo, how do you clean a gun ?

appart from asking a mechanic that is

[winter gust]

#│📚manual message

[vivid basin]

Aye yes i read that aready

but i'm failing to understand why i can't lubricate my gun for example

or why, when i have a universal repair kit, a certain gun doesn't appear on it's ui

[winter gust]

they have to be at a certain condition threshold, so if a repair kit is only effective above 50% for example, you can't use it on a gun at 49% condition

[brisk zinc]

You have "repair kit" and "repair kit for a specific type of weapon", like ayra said below a certain condition threshold you can't repair them

[vivid basin]

ohhh that really sucks yeah

how do i repair a weapon below the threshold then

[brisk zinc]

A quick way to actually know what you can use is to right click on your weapon and then click on "details", if you scroll down a bit you can see what you can use

[vivid basin]

yeah i just did that thanks

[brisk zinc]

I think that you need to "switch parts"

[vivid basin]

is the ak's condition an average of its parts condition ?

[brisk zinc]

For example, you have the barrel of a gun at 10%, you can switch it with one at 30% and repair that one

[vivid basin]

btw to switch barrels i need a toolkit right ?

[brisk zinc]

I think it's random and/or based on your rank and/or based on where you are at that moment (MAYBE but I think so even south and north matter)

You'll always find damaged/broken stuff, never good ones

[vivid basin]

Yeah that I got from the other stalker game hehe

It just used to not be such a pain to repair stuff

[brisk zinc]

I don't remember that, sorry let me see if I have something in my game so I can answer you

Remember that you can do it on the field though, but it's not recommended since it will degrade your weapon condition

Changing parts I mean

You're not obligated to use a vice, you can use your toolkit (but I don't remember if it counts even if you are on the field and not inside a faction base)

[brisk zinc]

It's one of the feature of the modpack, being hard, it's focused on crafting, cooking and repairing

[delicate wharf]

barrels require the right repair kit. Other parts can be switched without one

[brisk zinc]

The part about "doing it in the field" counts, right?

[delicate wharf]

yea if you just drop in parts it will lower overall gun condition. Doing it at a bench or through the repair menu won't

If you get the general gun condition up a bit before you switch parts it generally doesn't matter htough

as long as a gun is over like 60% condition cleaning it is low cost

[soft cargo]

quick question, how do you get rid of the guitar riff everytime i pull out a new wep? and also how to get rid of the bobmarley jammin music on super jams?

[delicate wharf]

Pretty sure that is out already if you updated recently

[soft cargo]

oh cool thank god

i was h8ing that

[graceful iron]

some certain person complained about the cool doom music on equipping a new gun

[soft cargo]

i love the anim and the talking tho, but i dont need to hear meshuggah everytime i equip something new

[graceful iron]

its been removed and shouldnt play in latest version

[soft cargo]

ill just go listen to meshuggah then

hahaha

thanks cat

[graceful iron]

it never annoyed me idk what annoyed everyone else about it

[soft cargo]

immersion

[graceful iron]

https://tenor.com/view/igdamsabanov-gif-20499877

i dont want immersion though

[shell yacht]

The mod is unplayable.
I get solid 144fps on lowest settings BUT every time i move my character the game freezes for ~30 seconds!
My specs are: ryzen 5 1600x, rtx2080ti 11gb vram, 16gb ram.
The game is installed on an ssd. Im using linux but every other game (even unmoded stalker) run fine on my wine prefix.

[soft cargo]

hmmm? wow thats cray

[graceful iron]

there has been problems on linux

so it could be that

[soft cargo]

awh thats sadge gud to know tho

[delicate wharf]

probably have to go through all the various graphics mods that are installed and manually check them for wine compatibility

[graceful iron]

i want my cool doom music

🥲

[soft cargo]

too bad theres no Wayback Machine for Discord
