[north turret]

it also resets some settings

so always doublecheck

[median hinge]

Are you able to buy nightvision somewhere or are you only able to loot it?

[north turret]

you can craft it I believe

if you got a nightlamp in the loadout when you started your game you can craft it

[lilac meteor]

Can anyone explain to me what adding to loadout means for magazines?

[north turret]

you can reload

when you press R

otherwise the guy does a weird animation and nothing happens

you can open your inventory if they're not in a loadout and reload them manually

but why would you do that

[lilac meteor]

Is there a limit?

[north turret]

well yes

vests and armors and tactical rigs don't have infinite space obv

[lilac meteor]

Obviously

[north turret]

there has to be a sense of realism to it

[lilac meteor]

Im just trying to find some info on the mod

All I get is some outdated moddb mod for it

[north turret]

kek

what other info you need

[lilac meteor]

I was just looking for some info on it is all. Like if there are ways to reload the mags without needing to drag and drop. Because of where the mags and ammo sit it can make it hard if you have other gear

[north turret]

well no you can reload any other way other than drag and dropping if they're not in your loadout

makes sense

you can favourite them....

they appear on the top

that's a pro tip right there

[lilac meteor]

Favourite the ammo?

[north turret]

press K to favourite ammo , meds , and mags

why meds? because you may need a specific medication other than a medkit

[north turret]

yes.

you read it right

[lilac meteor]

The medical system im still trying to understand what does what

I know its listed in the desc

[north turret]

yellow means temporary
white means it will perma heal if you have temporary health already active

its called post heal

#│📚manual message read please

[median hinge]

is it fine to enable mags in the middle of a playthrough ?

[north turret]

sure

I think it is

disabling it tho after you enabled it

may crash

lel

[median hinge]

oh my

let's find out

[north turret]

stalker roulette

will it crash

or will it not

[median hinge]

haha

it seems to work, but now i have no mags--

..

[north turret]

you need to buy them

you won't magically get mags for your gun

there might be one already loaded but not any more than that

[median hinge]

yeah it was, just need to find someone who trades them, might need to w8 for the traders to reset their inventory

[north turret]

this is why you enable it at the start of a game

or better yet

before you start one

lel

[median hinge]

haha, yeah.. oh well nothing game breaking, only have pm and TOZ-34 anyway

[north turret]

toz is fun

[median hinge]

kept me alive so far 😉

[north turret]

its a shotgun thats what its meant to do

[terse aspen]

Traders do sell it ass you get better rep

[north turret]

ass

[terse aspen]

[median hinge]

Thanks ❤️

[proven thorn]

Is the base cost of an armor a pretty decent idea of how good it would be fully repaired?

[north turret]

more or less

with a lot of ~ ~ ~ ~

approximations

roughly speaking tho yes

[hasty plaza]

Ones with a lot of storage typically are worse for the price in my experience though. So if it's a "Load bearing X" Or something along those lines, I'd stay away from it.

[rigid karma]

Been tinkering around with Lost Alpha; found out the GSC changed the static lighting after a certain build and some don't like that change. Is there any room/reason to consider adding this to GAMMA for DX8 users?

[terse aspen]

You can use debug mode to spawn all of them and look. Can even use the workshop function to see what they look like upgraded too. IIRC using debug can disable some achievements so do it on a new game if that worries you and it will stop that happening I think.

[north turret]

you can do that

have like 1 save

if you need to test armor or something just go there and test

[proven thorn]

I already had to use debug to finish a quest, so oh well

[proven thorn]

Is it possible to turn down the wild camera swinging when you get hit in melee?

[willow hawk]

Yup I need to change it

[tawny cedar]

Hey so I just installed and tried to start a new game but when I do it’s just a black screen how do I fix this

[warped ginkgo]

Open console

In game

The Button below ESC

And type

cfg_load grading_warm

[tawny cedar]

I have a 60% keyboard so just the tilde key

[warped ginkgo]

i have no idea

[tawny cedar]

I’ll find out on what it is

[tawny cedar]

I found it and put it in and it’s still a black screen

[warped ginkgo]

does the console say it loaded the cfg with no problems?

[tawny cedar]

It says successfully loaded

And nothing about any problems

[warped ginkgo]

try with cfg_load grading_default

if it doesn't work either, close the game and see how many addons you have installed in MO2

[tawny cedar]

It said the same thing

And it says 225 mods are on

[warped ginkgo]

mm

[brisk zinc]

Missing add-on 100% if he didn't touch anything

[warped ginkgo]

you sure? i just updated and i have 227

the 2 are probably the ones grok added half a hour ago

[empty monolith]

grok added more addons?

[brisk zinc]

I'll update and let you know

[warped ginkgo]

try opening the stalker anomaly directory

and launch vanilla anomaly, start a new game in cordon and load the game, and see if the screen isn't black

launch it without mo2

[tawny cedar]

I’ll try that now

[warped ginkgo]

if it's black, search for stalker\appdata\shaders_cache

and delete that folder 'shaders_cache'

then go to mo2 gamma and launch it again

[tawny cedar]

It was black

[brisk zinc]

Black as in "I can't see anything" or black "it's really dark in here"?

[tawny cedar]

Like fully black I deleted the folder and I’m just loading up now to check if it works

It works now thanks guys

[willow hawk]

Above Tab

[warped ginkgo]

[brisk zinc]

Time to do a clean install?

[warped ginkgo]

nah, just kidding , i added a couple of mods on top of gamma

[brisk zinc]

"A couple"

[north turret]

Yeah a couple

hundred

[ivory comet]

what is the best eco suit?

[terse aspen]

Ruby

[ivory comet]

Is that the one with best fire and rad resist?

[brave nexus]

Anyone know what i have to nix to remove the bag animation for opening the inventory it was a nice idea but holy shit do i open the inventory a lot to do stuff in stalker and that animation takes up way too much time

[obtuse rune]

MCM under FDDA

[brave nexus]

thank you i jumped to combing though the plugins without looking though the mcm

[remote quest]

Yo, did anyone have that shader compilation crash even after deleting the anomaly shader caches?

[warm reef]

Hello, is AI detection/accuracy affected by the dark nights of GAMMA ?

[plush current]

Hello everyone, after playing for sometime I find I perfer using trader overhaul more than gamma's preset, is anything will be break or missed if I disable the 2 gamma economy module for enable trader overhaul? I assume some mod item wouldn't be in shop but I can still find them in stash so that part will be ok for me, although I can't sure everything will be this case.

[lilac meteor]

Im new to gamma with updates, how do we update the pack?

Do we hit update gamma in the launcher?

[graceful iron]

installer>update gamma data>update gamma installation

if you enabled any mods before updating or changed any mods in the list make sure to do those changes after the update

[lilac meteor]

I've just added a few extra ones, won't be too hard to add them back

[graceful iron]

i think the player becomes a bit harder to spot at night and in rain by default in anomaly but i dont know how that works in gamma since it has a stealth mod

you can find its config in mcm

[lilac meteor]

I still love how much better stalkers AI's are vs Bethesda's

[graceful iron]

you can disable the gamma economy (these 2 mods) but i am not sure what you need for trader overhaul if any

[lilac meteor]

What does the gamma economy effect?

[graceful iron]

and i dont think this is save safe

buying and selling guns and outfits

and other economy balances if i had to guess

[empty monolith]

where can I get the army rifle repair kit?

[graceful iron]

craft it or give a technician an advanced tool kit and he will sell it when he restocks his stuff

advanced tool kit is required either way and you probably would want to hold on to at least one before you give them to a technician

it unlocks a lot of the mid game gear to be easily crafted and its less expensive than buying

keep your stuff stashed in a safe base since early game. never know when you need to repair that cool ak isg or scar h for mid-end game fights

it can spawn on stalkers and in marked stashes but its a really low chance

[graceful iron]

.

[empty monolith]

Thank you

[strange python]

Does Gamma include Warfare Alife Overhaul? I remember seeing that Grok was going to include it at some point

[graceful iron]

it has zcp...

a somewhat balanced version

you can still get controllers and chimeras at cordon but not as much

not sure if zcp is similar to wao

i think they do similar stuff?

[strange python]

They do but the main thing I like with alife was the singleplayer and warfare at the same time

So you could play the story mode and take over the zone capturing bases

[graceful iron]

uhhh

okay

[strange python]

Wont matter too much if it isnt, I am thematically playing as a loner and then when I get to the end game, I would be captured (start a new game) by monolith and then take over the zone lol

[empty monolith]

That's actually a very cool new playthrough idea

So if I get rid of G.A.M.M.M.A. Economy and the patches related to that mod, can I get the normal Anomaly economy or is the game gonna break?

[vale mantle]

how do i start Operation Monolith Retribution? Playin as military but kuznecov does not give any new missions. are ther any specific conditions?

[graceful iron]

@empty monolith the 2 mods are what you need to disable and it should be safe

[empty monolith]

can I do it mid game or is it going to break?

[graceful iron]

not sure about it being save safe. you can back up your saves and try. wont break anything

[empty monolith]

alright thank you, I'm going to try it out

[brittle kestrel]

hey I know it's not listed in the storylines section of the manual, but is the sin storyline after living legends still in this?

[warped ginkgo]

yes

you mean the three 'main' storylines?

[brittle kestrel]

yeah

[warped ginkgo]

it should be

[brittle kestrel]

has the sin one been fixed up at all?

[pale silo]

does anyone know if the modpack changes the items that mechanics can sell after you give them toolkits? If I remember correctly in vanilla once you give a mechanic a basic toolkit, on the next store respawn he can sell you one, and I think gunsmith tools too.

[brittle kestrel]

the sin storyline has always broken for me and I've never been able to get past finding the dead stalker by the liminsk construction site. All the many characters I've played over years all have gotten stuck there with soft locks or consistent crashes. so I hope it works better in gamma

[blissful tree]

Oh, the bloodsuckers ambush. Strange how it doesn't work for you.

[tough tangle]

Is this mod order looking correct?

I keep crashing to desktop without any errors when trying to start a new game

[graceful iron]

how many mods?

top right

[civic geyser]

well you have to expand out the menus to view the full mod order as well

[graceful iron]

i dont think its mod order

[tough tangle]

249

[graceful iron]

huh

this is gamma without any changes?

[tough tangle]

Yeah, I've downloaded a couple times just to make sure

Never had any other mods or anything

[civic geyser]

my install is 232

[graceful iron]

did you check with the install video in the install channel

?

should point out any errors in installing

should have 231 or something close mods

[tough tangle]

I followed it step by step twice, but I am inclined to delete everything and start from scratch again for the third time

[pale silo]

Does anyone know how to activate this "per program" instead of globally? I can't seem to find a way to do it only for STALKER's exe #📢announcements message

[graceful iron]

its only global

[graceful iron]

to make sure one last time . installer , update gamma data>complete gamma installation

[pale silo]

oh, ok! Thanks!

[graceful iron]

thats how you did it before?

oh and delete mods folder to check integrity

before updating

[tough tangle]

I believe I did, but I am going to try it again, I really want to play this modpack

Thank you

[graceful iron]

and check if you are blocked by moddb

it can block people for downloading too many times for a short amount of time

[brisk zinc]

@tough tangle like okay_cat said, check on Moddb, maybe you're blocked

That could be the problem or shitty servers

[tough tangle]

How do I check, just log in and try to download any random mod?

[brisk zinc]

Just open the site

[graceful iron]

go to the website

it should tell you

if you are blocked

[tough tangle]

Hm, nope, not blocked

Going to delete everything and try again

Thanks for the suggestions

[brisk zinc]

Just don't delete "downloads", you can keep that

[tough tangle]

Yeah?

[brisk zinc]

Yeah

[tough tangle]

Alright, that'll save some time

[graceful iron]

only delete mods

[tough tangle]

Ok

[brisk zinc]

Delete "mods" folder only

Or better yet, delete everything

And save "downloads"

[graceful iron]

?

[tough tangle]

Ok, I'll do that

I'll let you know if it works, in case someone else runs into the same issue later on

[brittle kestrel]

Hey can someone tell my why my mask overlay is just 4 like glass squares at the corners of the screen?

like this

[fresh fiber]

Does the RC2 installer install mods from the RC2 branch of GAMMA on github ? It seems to be lagging behind the RC1 branch but maybe it simply uses the RC1 right now ?

[graceful iron]

RC2 installer installs the gamma pack in RC 1 currently as RC2 has not been released yet. or did i misunderstand the question?

[fresh fiber]

Ah, thanks ! Yes that was the question, the RC2 branch on github seems to have older file so I was afraid it would download them instead of the RC1 which is more recent :)

[graceful iron]

[brisk zinc]

Have you deactivated something? Or changed some options in mod options?

[brittle kestrel]

nope

it's been like this from the get go for some reason

this screenshot is right after I just updated so everything should be in its default configuration I think

[brisk zinc]

What mask are you using?

Send me a pic so I'll use it too

Maybe it's a bug

[brittle kestrel]

m40 gas mask

but it does it for every mask I've found

[brisk zinc]

Okay not a bug

Maybe you're having some missing add-on

How many do you have installed now? Any extra one?

[brittle kestrel]

234, I added "No good deed goes punished" and a thing that increases the max you can set the carry weight too. but this bug was present even before I added anything to it.

[brisk zinc]

Enabled something from here?

[brittle kestrel]

nope

[brisk zinc]

Hmmm

[warped ginkgo]

it's related to a mask shader fix

did you disable anything in options in game?

[brittle kestrel]

I don't think so

what would I be looking for?

[warped ginkgo]

check in visuals i think? there is a tab for masks

[brittle kestrel]

breathing fog is off

is that it?

[brisk zinc]

Don't think so

[warped ginkgo]

mmm i don't think so

[brittle kestrel]

nope, didn't fix it

[warped ginkgo]

i have the same 'problem' as this, but it is not very noticeable

[graceful iron]

do you have the latest gamma? or is it in anomaly ?

[brittle kestrel]

I just updated gamma

[tough tangle]

I solved it. Everything is running smoothly now. Seems the issue might be that I didn't extract the contents of RC1.7 download into the folder, bur rather kept the RC1.7 Folder whole. I am not sure why that'd matter, but everything works now. Mod count is indicating 232 now. Thank you for the help

[warped ginkgo]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/151-gasmask-distortion-fix

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YpbnQ7YP4jKW-TKPINJgu6dcctuFt7WE/view

try testing any of those, via mo2 and see if anything fixes

[brittle kestrel]

that second one did it, thanks!

[golden elm]

Are the radiation bar and Artefacts Reinvention available through update yet?

[graceful iron]

yes

[golden elm]

I just updated GAMMA but didn't see them ingame.

[graceful iron]

wut

update gamma data and then click update gamma installation

@golden elm

did you do that?

[golden elm]

Yep. I did

I've checked the whole mod list too, didn't see any addon relate to radiation bar or artefacts reinvention

[graceful iron]

how many mods in the list

top right

is this what your installer looks like? even though i doubt the game would even run if you had the old installer

[golden elm]

233 mods

[graceful iron]

you added 2 mods?

[golden elm]

I did update my installer

Yeah, I added flashlight mod and Flora overhaul

[graceful iron]

i looked in the mod list. it should be correct at 231 mods and there is no addon for the radiation hud its added in another addon i think

you are not missing addons as far as i can see

but you say you dont have a rad bar above your stamina bar to the bottom left?

and debug menu does not show any of the artefact changes or devices like the melter?

[graceful iron]

and just in-case, try the pack with your addons unticked. if it crashes on loading old saves make a new save and see if the new update's features are there

[golden elm]

Yep. There's no rad bar above my stamina bar, and there's no device like new detector or the melter in debug mode menu

[golden elm]

I'll try it now

[graceful iron]

found this

[fresh fiber]

Would you recommend playing without "Accessible zone" or is it just added tedium ? I never tried it

[graceful iron]

personally i dont even know how to unlock some of the inaccessible transitions so i dont bother unticking that

[terse aspen]

For the short duration I tried it I found it to be added tedium, Sid sellss directions that unlock some, no idea where the rest come from. Ofc YMMV.

[graceful iron]

its ticked by default so why untick it unless you just want to lock yourself to the south till you get past brain scorcher

[graceful iron]

open moddb and check if you are blocked

[north turret]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-spongebob-cry-gif-20104177

[graceful iron]

yes

bot

now go wait an hour or something and try again later

moddb is stupid

[north turret]

well, the only good add-on isnt on mod-db anyways

[obtuse rune]

I think the only way to unlock transitions is to get the maps as drops from npcs

[graceful iron]

one transition from army warehouses to red forest is unlocked by talking to librarian about the dog. talking to noah in zaton and then going back to librarian

not the only way to unlock it i think

but one way i know

[tribal shuttle]

Hey even though I keep following the steps I keep getting red Xs on two of the mods and reinstalling/downloading isnt working

[graceful iron]

they are fine

vanilla icons?

just ignore them

your installation should be fine

[tribal shuttle]

when I start it up it keeps crashing, I just dunno for the life of me why its not fixing it

[graceful iron]

whats the error you are getting?

get the log and post it here

[tribal shuttle]

Its the red Xs showing that something isnt downloaded or anything properly

[graceful iron]

yes but what mods have the red x?

[tribal shuttle]

66- Gunplay and GAMMA disabled

[graceful iron]

the gamma disabled cross is fine

but the gunplay isnt

[obtuse rune]

expand the section to see the mod that is disabled
game log is in anomaly folder/appdata/logs/xray_name.log

[golden elm]

Nope. nothing changed. And my mod list is missing Artefacts Reinvention too

[brittle kestrel]

so hey, what does trader overhaul do in the context of GAMMA?

[golden elm]

I just updated the game again, nothing changed too

[tribal shuttle]

alright the mod thats fucked up is the boomsticks and sharp

sharpsticks

[obtuse rune]

Conflicts with the GAMMA trader setup

[graceful iron]

blocked by moddb?

[brittle kestrel]

it's in the optional files though?

[graceful iron]

i think the download for that broke or something

[brittle kestrel]

like is it just there if you don't want the gamma economy?

[obtuse rune]

You can download it directly from moddb

[obtuse rune]

Pretty much

[brittle kestrel]

oh, ok

[tribal shuttle]

Do I just download it off MODDB and put it somewhere?

[graceful iron]

download it from moddb and put it in downloads

the gamma downloads

[obtuse rune]

You'd need to disable the GAMMA economy to properly use trader overhaul

[brittle kestrel]

I thought maybe it was a custom trader overhaul for gamma as like an alternate setup for the economy

thanks for the info

[graceful iron]

put it in the downloads folder and then run the complete installation again. it will take a while as bas is a big addon so you might have to wait a bit

[golden elm]

how do I know that I got blocked by Moddb? :V

[graceful iron]

open the website

it will tell you

its back to blocking so many people after it stopped blocking for a few days i guess

this is unrelated to the pack but does anyone know why snipping tool sometimes just does not snip screen until i end task through task manager and i have to do that after every snip?

the snipping tool task

[golden elm]

Nope, I didn't get block. I guess I'll have to ask Grok or install the addon manually. Thanks for the help tho

[graceful iron]

okay

[brittle kestrel]

do head/body shots reduce the chances of getting helmets/armor respectively?

[graceful iron]

no

chances for those are controlled by the gameplay option "outfit loot" : progressive or full and the mcm config for outfit drops

progressive means you will need higher rank for better outfits to drop from enemies you kill

[brittle kestrel]

k, I've managed to get and fix up an monolith exo suit but am still stuck with a m80 gas mask. Haven't even seen a halmet yet so I was wondering if I was doing something to cause that.

[pale silo]

is it normal that quicksaving and opening the menu by pressing escape is really really slow? Is it because of the amount of mods or do I have to clear the cache or something?

[brittle kestrel]

restart the game every few hours

just a quirk with large modpacks in anomaly

Hey, are the kevlar and steel plates supposed to all just instantly drop to 1 durability the moment you pick them up? it doesn't seem intended because they have 1% resistance and the steel plate has 0% electric weakness. I think that:
"- New artefacts quality system: artefacts spawn with a random low condition (or "quality") to mimic that every artefact is different in their strength."
might be breaking it

[north turret]

Sakharov isn't selling the artifact melter thing, do I need max goodwill?

[graceful iron]

could be..

[quartz agate]

is there a version of the installer that is newer than the rc2 v3 one? I've seen screens that the update section looks different.

[graceful iron]

rc2 v3 is the newest

wait

should look like this

[graceful iron]

is this what yours looks like?

if it is then it should be the newest

[quartz agate]

nope, mine doesn't have an Update Installation button.

my formatting looks weird, too

[graceful iron]

thats an old one

you didnt download the v3

#📢announcements message here

download and extract where the old installer is in(.grok's modpack installer) folder and replace files

[graceful iron]

.

[quartz agate]

@graceful iron you're the best, thank yous

[fading rose]

idk why but classic textures doesnt seems to increase my framerate lol

[marsh hatch]

Hmm guys

I searched further south of the Bug Zapper

Still no sample

[graceful iron]

breh

are there guides somewhere for the quests?

[marsh hatch]

Nope

Found it

Yes

[graceful iron]

oh

[marsh hatch]

Further south of the Comet

[graceful iron]

where was it?

[marsh hatch]

The moving fireball

[graceful iron]

the comet is the fireball yes

[marsh hatch]

Welp, I'm done with this shit

Gonna kill squatters and I'm good

[graceful iron]

lol

[marsh hatch]

Thanks to whoever suggested me that idea last night

Oh heck

A money shot

Welp, see ya later. Gonna kill some dudes

[graceful iron]

have fun nicely showing the squatters the way out

[marsh hatch]

Haha, I will

[brittle kestrel]

is there anything I can do to make the screens on the detectors brighter? all of them are a bit too dim for me to comfortably read.

[ancient karma]

my game just randomly crashes my pc. I'll be playing, the screen goes black, and my gpu fans spin up and then stop and i cant see my screen anymore

i'm using dx10

dx11 did the same

[graceful iron]

veles and svarog are too dim in gamma for some reason, oh and too bright to use with nvgs. i think thats intended and the grizzly detector is supposed to replace them

to have better visibility

[brittle kestrel]

NGL I don't really understand the lighting in general

the moonlight is nearly invisible to the naked eye even if the full moon is blinding up in the sky. But then that nearly invisible moonlight is absolutely blinding in night vision

[graceful iron]

it has to do with lighting settings and shaders and some console cmds set up by default by grok to try and get best lighting basically but i guess its not doing well for everyone

you can change most of these settings by yourself

but you will have to do a lot of testing to get it to be what you want probably

i tried to fix buildings being literally too dark after a change to lighting that finally fixed the horizon from being a flaming ball of death that would burn your eyes . had to go with a middle ground between blinding myself in morning and being blind at night but it seems to work just fine now

could try to make it better but too lazy

[graceful iron]

nvgs are intended to be bad

really bad

you can change brightness levels by pressing n if you didnt know

most of the time i use them on lowest brightness

[brittle kestrel]

I changed the settings in the mod config menu for the NVGs

so I can actually use them

[graceful iron]

one thing is that i heard green lasers are supposed to be used with nvgs, they dont work very well with nvgs in gamma thats for sure

[brittle kestrel]

yeah, the green lasers are pretty much exclusively for NVGs since you can't easily use optics or even irons with many NVGs

[graceful iron]

the laser is literally a dot in the sky if you aim up and look at it

its kind of hilarious

[nimble axle]

hey just did the update... suddenly things like personal coolers had a quality track on them?

[brittle kestrel]

yeah, it sticks out from the end of NPC guns

like a little lightsaber toy

[graceful iron]

lol

[graceful iron]

they always had?

[nimble axle]

maybe im stoopid and didn't notice before

[graceful iron]

you mean belt attachments ?

[nimble axle]

yep

[graceful iron]

yes

they always had

but they dont take damage

[brittle kestrel]

the always had a bar, but now they seem to be stuck rather low.

[graceful iron]

if you pick them up

yes

[brittle kestrel]

no, they just drop durability

[graceful iron]

if you craft or buy them they should be on 100%

[brittle kestrel]

once you equip it and unequip it

[graceful iron]

wut

[brittle kestrel]

yeah

same with the plates and kevlar

[graceful iron]

bruh

[brittle kestrel]

that's what I was complaining about earlier

[graceful iron]

i thought you meant looted

only

[brittle kestrel]

I crafted it and it was at 100% and then It just dropped to 1% immediatly

[graceful iron]

well shit...

[brittle kestrel]

I even spawned one in because I was mad my upgraded one I got from a quest was suddenly doodoo

and it also dropped right away

[graceful iron]

i depend a lot on those to keep me alive from bullets

[brittle kestrel]

same lol

[graceful iron]

now i have to probably wait for them to get fixed

a cat can kill me really easily to

its just annoying

[nimble axle]

ok cool so it's not just me

i was like... wait wtf? why isn't my cooler doing anything ? all the stats are garbage and it shows a low stat bar

[graceful iron]

oh you didnt hear this cat literally using super stealth mode sneaking up on you? too bad you just lost a leg and 3/4 of your health and there is another cat jumping at you to finish the job

[brittle kestrel]

it's funny for the steel plate

[graceful iron]

i seen it

[brittle kestrel]

because the weakness to electricity also degrades with the quality

[graceful iron]

0% electricity

lol

thats stupid

[brittle kestrel]

hey at least you don't bleed through 4 bandages like you did way back before 1.5 anomaly lol

[graceful iron]

i didnt know about stalker at all before 1.5.1.2

i am not an og fan

never heard of stalker before

[blissful tree]

Oh God I remember those times

Carrying 30 bandages wasn't fun.

It did push towards using tourniquet though.

[ivory comet]

Are there ways to force finish ecos three artifact missions?

[north turret]

People who start with anonaly 😶

[ivory comet]

It's bugged and the field is empty of artifacts but it still shows as if I didn't pick then up

[graceful iron]

debug menu and spam each artefact till you get the right one . seen people do it when they dont find the artefact

[graceful iron]

there are artefacts

but you have to keep looking around

which anomaly is it?

its not always at the marker

[ivory comet]

Bug zapper at dark valley, it's literally 5 meters wide 😂

[graceful iron]

the bug zapper one or is it the fireball one?

[ivory comet]

I'm thinking maybe the art fall through the map

[graceful iron]

in the quest?

no

it shouldnt

[ivory comet]

You are 1000% correct I'm big dumb

[graceful iron]

go south of the bug zapper and see if the detector gets a signal

[ivory comet]

I thought it's asking for COMET artifact

[graceful iron]

should be near the fireball

to the south of bug zapper

i think

by comet it probably means the moving fireball

if you dont find it just keep going a bit more south . look outside of the tunnel first and then if you get beeping but cant find the artefact it could be inside the tunnel with the fireball. save before you do anything stupid there

[ivory comet]

Yes it's there for sure, doctor sense it, thank youu

...I don't remember having so much trouble passing the comet anomaly, 🤣

[graceful iron]

they are always scary

even if you did it before

[brittle kestrel]

hey, what's the mod that adds the lady stalkers and their voices? its nice to see one that isn't just Hip retextured or giant boobie stalkers

[graceful iron]

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

[ivory comet]

ok after 13 bbq stalker i think this mission is not worth wasting time for XD

[graceful iron]

get the artefact from debug

[ivory comet]

i thougth debug is F7, did the input change?

[brittle kestrel]

you can't really outrun the fireball, crawling along the right corner worked for me

[blissful tree]

I'm not sure if voices are a thing but I swear there used to be a freedom female stalker when I began my gameplay, not sure if it's DICK that has them.

[ivory comet]

why would they make a anomaly where it clearly moves back and forth so anyone would think to try and outrun it XD

[tidal raft]

It's still the same. Check if you have debug mode on in the main menu—lower left corner.

[graceful iron]

you have to activate it in the anomaly launcher: mo2>choose anomaly launcher and open>tick debug menu>click play stalker

and then f7

[willow hawk]

DICK

[willow hawk]

Spawn Artifacts using debug mode

[willow hawk]

Cat damage will be reworked

[graceful iron]

legs getting ripped off in a single attack from blind dog or cat is a bit much

feels very unintended to

those must be some really fragile legs , the actor skipped all leg days i guess

[willow hawk]

Yup

[lilac meteor]

So I put in 1 new retexture pack and 1 reshader in mo2, these should be at the bottom, correct?

[graceful iron]

yes

i think reshades are installed differently ? through reshade

[lilac meteor]

where?

[graceful iron]

what reshade is it you are trying to install?

[lilac meteor]

expedition

[graceful iron]

i dont know if thats a whole package by itself (full addon) or a shader used like most other presets through reshade

see if mo2 can identify it and install it

[lilac meteor]

I put it in mo2 already

seemed to install it fine

[graceful iron]

ok then you can test

[gusty path]

i feel like armors just have fuck all for rupture protection

[graceful iron]

seems it was never done right in the first place by anomaly

[willow hawk]

No the problem is how rupture works..m

It does max damage or 0 damage

For instance with enough rupture cats do 0 damage literally

It's completely fucked up

[lilac meteor]

Is there a way to change that?

[proven thorn]

That's wild

[willow hawk]

There are tons of ways of doing it....

[lilac meteor]

hmm yeah, expedition doesnt seem to go in mo2

Or well, it does but it crashes

[willow hawk]

Pff expedition is Bad..

Even the graphics part need lots of tweaking

[lilac meteor]

It looks nice enough

[willow hawk]

It looks blurry

[graceful iron]

let people get their neron activation if they like the shaders i guess. although i still dont know if it should work with gamma and how to install it

[lilac meteor]

Someone uses it and has posted an image in #╟📸screenshots

The game just looks super grey and dark for me, just trying to put a little colour in it

[brittle kestrel]

have you tried just boosting the contrast in-game? that helps alot

*saturation

[north turret]

What mods do i need to disable to disable body health sustem

[willow hawk]

Increase contrast and or saturation in game

[willow hawk]

Eeeh that will be annoying....

[lilac meteor]

The body health system is good

[willow hawk]

Grok's Body Health System + GAMMA Minimalist HUD + GAMMA Medication Balance should do it

[lilac meteor]

I used it before when I used the eft medical addon

Where does contrast and saturation exist within settings?

[willow hawk]

Basic light setting

[brittle kestrel]

visual->basic-> click the basic light setting button

[willow hawk]

When under resolution choice there's a big button

[lilac meteor]

not for me

[willow hawk]

Otherwise open console and type saturation

[brittle kestrel]

it's a button, under the sliders for FOV?

[lilac meteor]

Not there

[brittle kestrel]

whoah

weird

it should be like here

[lilac meteor]

Yeah well, it isnt for me

Hence why I said it

[brittle kestrel]

where'd you put it lol

hmmm...

both using dx11 enchanced

I have no idea

[willow hawk]

What the hell

You use Anomaly 1.5.1.... right ?

[brittle kestrel]

never seen that before, that's a new one I'd say

[lilac meteor]

yes

[willow hawk]

Otherwise use the console as I said

[lilac meteor]

Guess my game isnt meant to look nice

[candid plinth]

How do i toggle a reflex sight magnifier?

[graceful iron]

reflex sight magnifier ?

changing between sights?

[candid plinth]

Yeah

[graceful iron]

its the grenade launcher key (v by default )

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[candid plinth]

Tapped v and went lazer

[graceful iron]

what gun are you trying to use?

[candid plinth]

Fn scar h bas

[graceful iron]

what sight do you have?

you need a kit that has a scope and a sight

[candid plinth]

Eotech with magnifier

[graceful iron]

so you can change from close range to long range

[willow hawk]

Screenshot

Magnifier doesnt work most likely

[graceful iron]

i was about to say

screenshot the kit you are using

[graceful iron]

i have seen that one before

[candid plinth]

I've been spamming 6 and v it kinda got confusing

[gusty path]

if that is the Picture in Picture one i dont think the zoom levels work

but also PIP basically halves your frames

so good luck with that

[graceful iron]

i have seen someone use this before

was not good in terms of optimization

but i think you can change the magnification just have to find what key does it

[candid plinth]

Awwee i was hyped to use it for both long and close range fights

[graceful iron]

if game would not decide to freeze for no reason i would try to find the keybind

[candid plinth]

Alright spam key hunting it is 🤣

[graceful iron]

yes

they need some special config

so all you will have with that gun is pip scope and laser aim

you can turn on laser by holding L

[graceful iron]

.

sorry if i got your hopes up

i would have wanted to use it to if it worked

[candid plinth]

😭

Anyways thanks for the help

[brittle kestrel]

probably a dumb question, but Is it possible to replace the fentanyl's needle animation with a lolipop?

[graceful iron]

uhhh

[obtuse rune]

Sure you know how to model and script you could even make anime real

[graceful iron]

probably if you can find the animation out there and somehow replace the current one

or make a new one yourself

[obtuse rune]

What's the best place to shoot a poltergeist?

[brittle kestrel]

I'll see if I can pester DyamineX into making one for me

[brittle kestrel]

kind of the middle

[graceful iron]

spot? in front of where they are headed

just a bit

not by much

best is to either tap fire them or use a buckshot

[obtuse rune]

Ah ok, now I'm sweating cause I have the polt blue screen and just buckshot a black chimera to death by circling a tree

Guess it's more buckshot for the poltergeist then

[marsh hatch]

Really

[graceful iron]

aim at center of mass if its buckshot you are using

[marsh hatch]

Poltergeists are a joke

Just aim at the moving flashy shit

And pump bucks to it

That's how I do it

[obtuse rune]

75% of the time I waste way too much ammo

[clever hound]

Max fps using same settigs as in Vanilla anomaly. In vanilla I get stable 60. What kind of addons could have such impact to my performance ?

[marsh hatch]

Mainly becuz your gun is underpowered

[graceful iron]

no sometimes it actually hard to hit them

[marsh hatch]

Really, just aim

[graceful iron]

you cant seem to find the hit box

[obtuse rune]

I know in vanilla I would turn crosshair on just to find the hitbox

[marsh hatch]

It's a miracle they have hitboxes

[graceful iron]

there goes that buckshot i was saving for something more dangerous

[proven thorn]

I've only had a couple but shooting in the center of the orb has always worked for me

[graceful iron]

yea that was pretty easy

[proven thorn]

I'd rather fight poltergeists than other mutants

[lilac meteor]

Does the ammo selection keybind work with the magazines?

[marsh hatch]

No

[lilac meteor]

Damn

[graceful iron]

it does

[marsh hatch]

You would have to drag your desired mag to your gun

[graceful iron]

no

[lilac meteor]

That would have been awesome

[graceful iron]

fill a mag with only one type of ammo

you can select it from the ammo wheel

[marsh hatch]

Bruh

[graceful iron]

fill another mag with another type of ammo

select it from ammo wheel

[marsh hatch]

Then my old game had some problems lol

Oh wait

[lilac meteor]

I've got a few mags with only one type, it only wants to change HP ammo and not switch to AP

[marsh hatch]

That's wuut's

[lilac meteor]

Might empty them and try again

[graceful iron]

maybe that was a different version of mags redux?

[marsh hatch]

Nah, it was the og one

[graceful iron]

make sure the mag has only one type of ammo and no old ammo with new

[marsh hatch]

wuut's mags

[graceful iron]

no

[marsh hatch]

And not Raven's one

[graceful iron]

even mags redux had that

[marsh hatch]

No no

Mags redux is Raven's

Regular mags is wuut's

[graceful iron]

oh ok

[marsh hatch]

It's complicated

[graceful iron]

i knew there was multiple mags mods

[marsh hatch]

Yeah

[graceful iron]

but i dont really know the differences

[marsh hatch]

And they all tried to fix wuut's

[lilac meteor]

weird, it doesnt want to switch to ap, but can switch from ap to hp

[marsh hatch]

Lots of problem with it

[graceful iron]

could be a bug with only one ammo or one gun?

[marsh hatch]

Just drag your mags to it

[graceful iron]

what ammo is it?

[marsh hatch]

I always do it like that

[graceful iron]

if wheel does not work that is the only option

[lilac meteor]

hmm, nah i think the mechanic is just bugged

sks has similar issue

can go from fmj to ap, but not vice versa

[marsh hatch]

Yeah

[graceful iron]

maybe it has to do with grok not testing it for compatibility stuff or maybe it needs a certain patch ? it was not really intended for gamma so if it works i dont think its important to try and fix a small bug

[marsh hatch]

Just open your inventory and drag it

Like how EFT players do

Oh and hey, can I buy higher tier detectors from traders or do I have to craft em?

[brittle kestrel]

you can buy bear, but I think you have to craft anything higher

[graceful iron]

you can buy all tiers from everyone but svarog

[marsh hatch]

At what goodwill?

[graceful iron]

you can buy that from ecologists

[brittle kestrel]

like 1k I think?

[marsh hatch]

Bruh

[graceful iron]

500

for bear

[brittle kestrel]

lel

you get so much ecologist rep for doing the artifact hunter missions

[marsh hatch]

So I have to CBT myself to either Jupiter or Yantar now.

[marsh hatch]

You mean the quest line?

[brittle kestrel]

yeah

like and insane ammount

I was a little confused when I looked and saw I had like 1.5k

[marsh hatch]

The "find three samples at area" one?

[graceful iron]

yes

[marsh hatch]

Pog

I got em all

Gonna gib it to the egghead

[graceful iron]

check whats the trader level for eggheads

[marsh hatch]

Nice, thank guys

[brittle kestrel]

yeah, the quest chain starts in the great swamp. and it's pretty easy until you hit the one that wants you to check inside the bandit base

[marsh hatch]

Welp, I started in the Dark Valley

[graceful iron]

you might have to kill the whole base or disguise through it or just pay your way to it

[marsh hatch]

So the Bandit's base is pretty easy for me

Except for that fucking Comet

[marsh hatch]

Or if you're a merc like me

[graceful iron]

oh

[marsh hatch]

Yeah

[graceful iron]

yea mercs get special treatment

[marsh hatch]

I'm friends with Sultan and Olivius

[graceful iron]

[marsh hatch]

1600 rep or sth like that lol

The only hard part is Truck Cemetery

Gonna pass through it if I want to visit the base

[blissful tree]

"hard"

Follow the fence and it's a mere marathon.

[marsh hatch]

Ya think?

I fought through a fucking squad of mil dudes and cats.

In the first run

[blissful tree]

[marsh hatch]

Least I got gears

[graceful iron]

if anyone is wondering about guns that seem to have a changing magnification sight, this is all they do sadly. (pip mid-long range scope and laser aim) you change between them with grenade launcher key (v by default) and you turn on the laser by holding L. check #│💻keybinds-in-gamma for all keybinds

[short gulch]

uhh, how does the Minecraft Respawn system work?

doesn't seem like it's working despite having enabled it

[short gulch]

ah

that explains it

i haven't slept yet this playthrough

Caffeine Tablets

[graceful iron]

too bad this does not add insomnia effects to make you sleep

[supple basalt]

hey guys

does anyone know where i can find a Part Repair kit ?

[graceful iron]

technicians sell it after you give them the advanced tool kit

in the quest

[supple basalt]

ah nice! Thanks!

[graceful iron]

but you will need to wait for them to restock their supplys

[supple basalt]

Sweet!

[tawny cedar]

Is there a way to disable the limb breaking

[supple basalt]

ummm... i just found an artifact named Knot

it said something about a pact with the zone

anyone know what exactly that does ?

[blissful tree]

You have to sell your soul.

[supple basalt]

i just activated it and... got some OP Health regen

[brittle kestrel]

and movement speed and damage resistance

however you must feed it artifacts

or you die

and it is a hungry lil boi

i'm using it and loving it in my playthorugh

[supple basalt]

interesting.

don't fancy the OP buffs tho 🙂

i'll keep my soul lol

[brittle kestrel]

right click on other artifacts and you can sacrifice it

[graceful iron]

oh it will make those buffs into debuffs if you dont feed it fast enough

[graceful iron]

#🔨base-gamma-support message

will revert to anomaly health system

[tawny cedar]

Ty

[rigid karma]

Been playing Lost Alpha for a bit now. Would love some of it's features in GAMMA. Particularly seeing my legs haha

[brittle kestrel]

hey, at what level does the scavenging skill stop despawning loot 😠

[graceful iron]

what level are you at?

[brittle kestrel]

12

getting real angy seeing the stuff it's despawning since it's there for a split second then goes poof

just watched a monolith nosorog go up in smoke

also, what even levels it? is it just killing dudes?

[graceful iron]

its been changed to level up when looting

it was killing stalkers

what rank are you?

maybe you have progressive outfit loot?

also go to mcm, there is a config for chances of getting certain outfits and helmets. they are set to really low chances for high end gear by default to balance them it could be that config despawning your loot if its only outfits

[brittle kestrel]

I have it set to full

the thing is that it appears for a split second and then vanishes

just watched an exohelm go poof

and a battle helmet reeeeee

at what level am I allowed a helmet lol

[graceful iron]

seems its only outfits

so it must be one of what i mentioned or maybe the scav levels just affects it all that much? i never noticed things despawning like that

[blissful tree]

Only things so far despawning for me are random equipment used to upgrade armor(mainly) from stashes.

[brittle kestrel]

I had the loner tutorial stash artifact despawn lol

[blissful tree]

Makes me wonder what would happen if I were to pick those first

[graceful iron]

that one is supposed to not spawn

despawning is also fine

but for other items idk

[strange moon]

Excuse me but i have a question
Where is the overwrite folder in the mod loader?

[graceful iron]

the last one?

should be right in the gamma RC1 folder

[strange moon]

Oh-
How didnt i see it
It is because it said i need to put mods there to overwrite the other ones

[graceful iron]

no

[strange moon]

And i need to do this because apparently my game doesnt wants to start ;-;

The menu works but starting the game doesnt

[graceful iron]

this is how you install mods

the wrench

what did you do before ?

[strange moon]

Idk i disabled some mods and checked about every single one

[graceful iron]

uhh

can you tell me what mods you disabled?

also the overwrite folder there has a bin folder which has the screenshots you take in-game

but thats it i think

[strange moon]

Ah alright

Well i definitely disabled boomsticks and sharpsticks

Because it always caused problems

[graceful iron]

bruh

its a main mod

[strange moon]

Huh

Well then why does it make the game crash before

[graceful iron]

what kind of problems?

crashes?

[strange moon]

Yeah but i did saw the fix for it
Downloaded it before the mod ;-;

[graceful iron]

and then you did (update gamma data>complete gamma installation) after?

[strange moon]

Ummm no-

I didnt

[graceful iron]

well

put the bas you downloaded in downloads folder

[strange moon]

The bas?

[graceful iron]

boomsticks and sharpsticks

its short is bas

[strange moon]

Ohhh

Oh yes

[graceful iron]

after that open the installer

[graceful iron]

.

after that ends you should have this amount of mods hopefully

and the game should run fine

[strange moon]

God this is complicatet

[graceful iron]

it might seem a bit complicated but its not really if you read through the steps or watch the video

[vivid basin]

Does having hip make freedom hostile ?

[graceful iron]

what

no

?

[vivid basin]

bruh

some rando freedoms started shooting me for no reason

[graceful iron]

loner?

[vivid basin]

yeah

[strange moon]

Rep

[vivid basin]

good

[brittle kestrel]

suit?

[vivid basin]

torn off

[graceful iron]

are you aware of disguise system?

ok

[brittle kestrel]

hmmmmmmmmmmm

[graceful iron]

did you accidently shoot any of them?

[brittle kestrel]

did you make any rude comments to any of them?

wait, did they see you shoot a blood sucker? might have been their GF.

[strange moon]

Lmao

[graceful iron]

[vivid basin]

i took the merc outpost in army warehouses and a freedom that was litteraly just chilling with them started shooting me. had to retaliate and of course now all freedoms hate me

well more like checkpoint

[graceful iron]

are you sure you didnt hit him or hip hit him?

[brittle kestrel]

hmmmmm I don't think mixed squad factions are a thing

[graceful iron]

maybe he was not shooting you

[vivid basin]

i'm guessing hip hit him like a retard

oh yeah trust me he did lol

i was lke

wait.....

is he shooting at me ?

so i just sttod there

[graceful iron]

can you load a save before and check again?

[vivid basin]

and sure enough i got head eyed

[brittle kestrel]

I watched duty suddenly decide to wipe out half the loners at the flea market

[graceful iron]

no dynamic relations here?

[vivid basin]

i'll see if i have a save prior to that (uses quick saves heavily like a boss)

[brittle kestrel]

nope

[strange moon]

Ummmm why are there no downloads anymore

[brittle kestrel]

they weren't mad anywhere else, it was some kind of chain reaction

[strange moon]

;-;

[vivid basin]

but at this point that shit was so confusing and i felt so cheated by the game i'm not even against using debug lol

[brittle kestrel]

one duty was mad at a one loner, and after he killed him the loners retaliated so duty retaliated

[graceful iron]

in the installer? it should only download mods that have not been downloaded

[strange moon]

I guess i deletet all them?

Well fuck

What now

[vivid basin]

??????????????????????????

[graceful iron]

wait you deleted something?

[strange moon]

Well

All installed and downloaded mods

[vivid basin]

https://tenor.com/view/robert-d-weide-bruh-larry-david-directed-by-gif-15337945

[graceful iron]

y tho

[strange moon]

Idk i guess i thought itd do smth else

A professional dumbass here

[graceful iron]

is your installer still downloading?

[strange moon]

Nope

[vivid basin]

time to clean uninstall everything and redownload everything

[strange moon]

Woooo...

[graceful iron]

wait dont delete any downloads

please

[strange moon]

Oh i didnt

[graceful iron]

you dont have to delete anything other than the "mods" folder

unless you deleted any other files already

[vivid basin]

ohhh

lucky you

[strange moon]

Aye mod folder still there

[graceful iron]

ok delete that >update gamma data>complete installation

let the installer do its thing

dont delete anything else

[strange moon]

Hehe

Alright thanks you

[crisp quartz]

I killed Dushman the merc trader do they respawn after some time?

[graceful iron]

thats it

[golden elm]

I've installed the EFP texture pack from #custom-textures and now the railway looks like this. Is this normal?

[graceful iron]

no

[crisp quartz]

so i cant trade with mercs?

RIP

[graceful iron]

its supposed to "save fps" maybe ?

[graceful iron]

nope just dont kill traders

[crisp quartz]

he run off and died lmao

[strange moon]

Or mechanics

[graceful iron]

those can cause your game to crash

[willow hawk]

The pack is bad, period

[strange moon]

Damn xd

[graceful iron]

saves fps with shitty textures

[willow hawk]

I will make a GAMMA custom texutre pack

using dead zone textures + agressor ground + EFP sky

[golden elm]

I salute you, our Lord and Savior.

[strange moon]

Salute to our comrade and saviour

Grok

[lilac meteor]

I wonder if someone has made a texture pack that improves the looks of the various ai's

[graceful iron]

uhhh. doesnt HD models count ?

also dux's kit?

[strange moon]

It does

[lilac meteor]

Didn't know they were a thing

[graceful iron]

dux's kit adds a lot of unique models to AI

[lilac meteor]

compatible with gamma?

[graceful iron]

its in gamma

[lilac meteor]

oh

[graceful iron]

have you even played gamma without changes?

[lilac meteor]

what do you mean?

[graceful iron]

did you play gamma?

[lilac meteor]

yes
