[lilac meteor]

not very far through it

[graceful iron]

you should be able to see dux's kit as most npcs have new vanilla styled models

[lilac meteor]

its probably just a case of not playing normal anomaly and stalker for so long that ive forgotten what the normal models look like

[graceful iron]

probably

[lilac meteor]

and its not like ive looked at every single addon in the pack either

so I don't know exactly whats in it

[graceful iron]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/dick

there is the kit addon

[lilac meteor]

Are they HD models?

[graceful iron]

no

just new textures

a lot more than HD models has and still sticks to the vanilla style while not eating your fps

[golden elm]

Just roaming around, you will see the difference. Like a bandit wearing a unique suit that has a skull painting on it.

[lilac meteor]

then it was a misuse of words then, should have used are there any addons that upgrade the ai with HD models, rather than use the word texture

[delicate wharf]

what do you mean by hd models?

[graceful iron]

only one is HD models addon

[delicate wharf]

dicks includes new meshes as well as textures @graceful iron

[graceful iron]

he says he is looking for an upgrade for npc models to HD

i know what dick has

[delicate wharf]

wtf does hd mean?

i dont think he is talking about the addon hd models

[graceful iron]

?

[graceful iron]

he is not talking about it

[delicate wharf]

i'm pretty sure he is just asking if there are higher quality models for npcs included in gamma

which there is

hd models isn't any more "hd" than dicks

[graceful iron]

i literally said that gamma has dick addon

[delicate wharf]

but you also said only the hd models addon has higher quality models?

[brittle kestrel]

hey, how many boxes do you need to break to get that achievement?

[delicate wharf]

like 200

[delicate wharf]

in game guide should tell you

[strange moon]

Dick addon
Wth-

[graceful iron]

i said its supposed to have "HD" models

[brittle kestrel]

literally forgot it had the achievements in it XD

[graceful iron]

people call this dick addon

[strange moon]

OH

Lmao sorry

[graceful iron]

dont ask me i dont name them

[strange moon]

Neither

It just sounded wrong that is all lol

[graceful iron]

dont worry this community can come up with all weird names for shit

[strange moon]

Lmfao

Well i guess i will like this community soon

[empty monolith]

@graceful iron you're a mod now? That's awesome

[graceful iron]

yes thank you

[strange moon]

M yes

I dont think i will be ever a mod for grok lmao

Im too dumb

[graceful iron]

do i sound smart to you?

[strange moon]

Ummm halfways xD

[graceful iron]

[strange moon]

Lmao

[graceful iron]

i dont know whats the quality differences between the 2 mods, you tell me

[strange moon]

Idk either man
I wouldnt see much difference most probs

[graceful iron]

they look cool on paper, but beyond that they are really unpractical for a lot of people including me (HD models)

[delicate wharf]

afaik there are none, just big style differences. Therefore the answer to does gamma include hd models for npcs (not talking about the specific addon with that name) is just yes it does, not "no only hd models does that"

[graceful iron]

i didnt understand his question

[graceful iron]

the question went like this and i didnt understand the full context

[strange moon]

Oh there is so less context

next time he can be more specific perhaps

[graceful iron]

sorry about that i thought you meant something else with the question but to answer it apparently yes dux's kit has "HD" models for npcs in it and its in gamma currently

[strange moon]

I c

M yes

[lilac meteor]

All good

heres hoping stalker 2 can be modded so utterly and completely

[strange moon]

Oh yeah even with the great graphics they promised
Mods might make it 2 times better,yeah

[marsh hatch]

hey guys

[strange moon]

Ello

[marsh hatch]

Is HD models canon?

Hi Crystal

[graceful iron]

canon as in what?

[marsh hatch]

The models themselves

[graceful iron]

no i mean what does your question mean? canon?

[marsh hatch]

Looks great but also not great at the same time

Well

The cover arts for the STALKER trilogy all show irl gasmasks and clothes

So for the case of HD models

Are they actually in the universe of STALKER???

[graceful iron]

[delicate wharf]

HD Models is not lore friendly at all afaik

[strange moon]

Good question-

[delicate wharf]

Dicks is more lore friendly but obviously not every one of the 3000 models is actually in the official universe

[last spire]

Which graphic options take the most performance

[delicate wharf]

Though they all make sense to be in the zone

[marsh hatch]

ahh sorry guys

My brain is again too deep fried

still, good answers

many thanks

uh guys

The newest toggle scope doesn't work for me

[graceful iron]

?

[marsh hatch]

Can I use the older one?

[graceful iron]

toggle scope? the v to change between scopes?

[marsh hatch]

no no

[graceful iron]

or to remove or put a scope on?

[marsh hatch]

The "remove scope by pressing 6" one

[graceful iron]

oh

[marsh hatch]

yeah that one

The 2022 ver doesn't work for me

In the keybinds, it also says kb_scope

[graceful iron]

i think its in mcm

[marsh hatch]

instead of Toggle Scope

[graceful iron]

mc*

[marsh hatch]

wait

so I can now enable it from MCM?

[graceful iron]

mcm keybinds

change the keybind

[marsh hatch]

I see

Will try it

thanks

[graceful iron]

tell me if that works

[crisp quartz]

is it normal no traders sell guns or buys them? or just not far enough

[graceful iron]

gamma economy changes that

they dont buy or sell guns or outfits

if you dont like that you can disable these

[crisp quartz]

thank you!

[brittle kestrel]

so why do NPCs sometimes turn into spider man and walk up walls?

[rotund moss]

NPCs can and will you paths you cant, some of them include running through a wall and or scaling them - that or just because they can

[knotty laurel]

They don’t have ladder/ledge climbing animations, so in certain spots where they have nodes they can walk upwards. The most common spot you can see it happen is in Yantar with that one brick wall

[lilac meteor]

Wait, so i've been stashing all of these guns for no reason?

[graceful iron]

why?

[lilac meteor]

I thought you at least may have been able to sell the guns

[graceful iron]

stashing guns means you can repair them and disassemble some of them to repair others

[rotund moss]

some BAS weapons can be sold to techs for some reason tho

SVDs for example

[lilac meteor]

Anyone had an issue where all of their sound just vanished?

[undone fjord]

RC2 when ?

[willow hawk]

Yeah some of them I know...

[willow hawk]

Middle or end of the month

[lilac meteor]

whats the rc mean?

[willow hawk]

I'll go on vacations for 2 weeks, not sure I'll have time to mod GAMMA during that time

[willow hawk]

Release Client

[lilac meteor]

vacation, damn the last time I had time off was over a year ago

[rotund moss]

@willow hawk just enjoy your vacations mate

[willow hawk]

Finally travelling abroad after the covid bullshit

man I planned everything to go to Japan in April 2020. And the covid came around fucked it up... So it will be my first time going abroad since a long time (well I travel to Germany sometimes using my car)

Can't wait 😄

[rotund moss]

i feel you, my tripp to japan got chanceled in 2020 as well wish you a good time
also this might be because i live in germany, but what besides our woods and the old parts of the cities that still stand could be interesting here? xD

[lilac meteor]

at least you have other countries you can visit in a weekend

In australia, we can drive all weekend and still be in the middle of nowhere

[rotund moss]

on top of the fact that Australia is the closest thing we have to a real zone (everything and his mom can and will try to kill you)

[willow hawk]

Cheap beer

[rotund moss]

fair enough xD

[willow hawk]

I'm going to Sweden this time

since Japan is closed anyways

I live near the German border so it's easy hehe

[rotund moss]

i think you can only get in, with a Work Visa atm? i didnt bother to check since the tripp got chanceled like 3 times by now

well our borders are open so why not

[north turret]

Sakharov isn't selling the smelter and I have high goodwill

I did a complete install

[rotund moss]

i thought i have to improve goodwill with the eggheads before it shows up, but yeah its not in his inventory for me atm as well (but im under 100 goodwill with the eggheads anyway)

[brittle kestrel]

so why don't shotguns use the shotgun tools and cleaning kits?

[rotund moss]

they do? the shotgun cleaning kit is called "historical weapon" or something

[north turret]

I see it in the debug menu

but I'd rather buy it

[brittle kestrel]

for me they use rifle repair kits and cleaning kits

[brittle kestrel]

wait 24 hours in game

[rotund moss]

huh? which shotgun

[north turret]

I was wondering if his stock just needed to refresh

[brittle kestrel]

spaz, usas, the bolt action one, and the 133(?)

[rotund moss]

hmm i have to admit i dont think i fixed on of thies up so far

[cold coral]

im having this weird bug where i do the long press N but my NGV are not turning on

help pls

[vivid basin]

How exactly do package beeps work

[cold coral]

set up the frecuency and hear the beeps

[vivid basin]

Cause I always take so much time to pinpoint the exact location in the triple beep area

[cold coral]

the closer you are the more beep youll hear

hold F, they are not stashes but items in the world

[vivid basin]

I know I know

In truck cemetery I'm getting constant 3beep at close intervals

But the package isn't around

Finally found the bitch

[strange moon]

So uh i did all steps

But i dont know what i did wrong

And it crashes when i want to like
Start the game

And i mean
Start the game from the menu

Actually

Where do i find the appdata folder?

[brisk zinc]

@strange moon any red crosses in your mod list?

[strange moon]

One.

Also potato pc go brrr

[rotund moss]

brrrr

[brisk zinc]

Yeah that's fine

[rotund moss]

also i think that one is red crossed for everyone atm

[strange moon]

Ye

Same

[brisk zinc]

Since you're using extra things I can't help you with that

Try in #🔨modded-gamma-support

[cold coral]

alright, the reason was that beef nvg onlywork for dx11

[strange moon]

No I'm not using any extras...

[clever hound]

Hello. Does changing Anomaly exe to the modded one actually improve any fps ?

[brisk zinc]

What are you using then?

249 it's strange

Default are like 230

[strange moon]

I enabled some extra ones that were disabled

[brisk zinc]

Like what?

[strange moon]

Probably shouldn't have done that

I hqve no idea

[brisk zinc]

But

Like something in GAMMA Disabled?

Check that out

[strange moon]

In gamma disabled there are just two things lol

And exactly that is what i left disabled as onliest

[brisk zinc]

[strange moon]

Weird

[brisk zinc]

They're disabled so even if you don't have it (I think) you're fine

[strange moon]

If i sort them out (prefix only) and enable them would it change anything?

[brisk zinc]

The disabled one?

No, you don't them

They're disabled for a reason

[strange moon]

For what reason tho

[brisk zinc]

Don't work/bugs/I don't know, Grok says "don't use them", I follow the orders

[strange moon]

Ah i see

[brisk zinc]

The only one you can use it's the last one

[strange moon]

Well i will disable them and see if it works again

[brisk zinc]

So you did enabled them

[strange moon]

Yes

;-;

[brisk zinc]

I thought you didn't...

But yes don't use them

Don't know why Grok keeps them there, maybe for the future

[strange moon]

I see

Alright

[rotund moss]

i think they are there for later, just turned off because they caus some sort of problems

[brisk zinc]

The problem is that not everybody knows that they need to STAY disabled

You learn it the hard way or someone tells you

[strange moon]

Ya

Now i have 245 enabled

Huh

[rotund moss]

the folder says disabled and im to deaf of a cunt to activate them

[brisk zinc]

Seriously take a screen or a video of what you have enabled

[strange moon]

I also have some downloaded

How do i remove all installed versions?

[brisk zinc]

We can do a "clean install"

Open your GAMMA folder

Delete only "mods" folder

[strange moon]

I did that already-

[brisk zinc]

Okay

Do you have some extra add-on?

Or it's all "vanilla"?

[strange moon]

I guess i have two but it shouldnt cause any bugs or crashes due to how tiny they are-

[brisk zinc]

Try without it first

Leave them out for now

[brisk zinc]

Open the installer (are you on the last version?)

[strange moon]

(Yes)

[strange moon]

Alright so installer

Oh ok

[brisk zinc]

"Complete" is for the installation, like in this case
"Update" is for when you already have everything and need to check if the add-ons already downloaded are up-to-date or if you're missing the new one

[strange moon]

Ah alright

So which ones will be disabled automatically

Except in the anomaly disabled

I mean its only about 10 or so

[brisk zinc]

This

This too

[strange moon]

This im done with

The other one tho thanks

I will disable it rn

[brisk zinc]

This too, I used it because it's safe to use it but it's disabled

[strange moon]

Ah i see

Heh

Alr im at 235 again lets test it out

Oh and before

Since im using DX8 bcs potato pc

Where do i find the appdata folder?

[brisk zinc]

Anomaly folder

[strange moon]

Ohhh

I see

[brisk zinc]

I'm trying to figure out what do you have enabled

Because I always took out two of them (limit travel and campfires save)

Wrong quote but still

This is my default load when I update

[strange moon]

Lol it's fine

[brisk zinc]

Game is working?

[strange moon]

Mm i have 235

[strange moon]

Will see

Starting up

I t c r a s h e d

A g a i n

[brisk zinc]

Again take a screen of what you have enabled

[strange moon]

Ihm

[brisk zinc]

While we're at it, send your log

Anomaly\appdata\logs, it's xray_yournamehere.log

@strange moon are you using MagsRedux?

[strange moon]

mags redux

hm

yes

but its disabled

[brisk zinc]

Okay

Did you use it in the past?

Like, you use it

Save with it

Disabled it after

Played again without it

[strange moon]

i think...yes

[brisk zinc]

Maybe that's your problem, maybe

[strange moon]

ok so my old saves i should delete is what you're saying?

[brisk zinc]

I know that it can crash your game when you load it though, not when you launch it

[strange moon]

ohhhh

[last spire]

How do i update the installer itself?

[brisk zinc]

Well... if you want to play it WITHOUT it, yes, you can't use those saves

[strange moon]

ya

i will delete them once i get in

[brisk zinc]

#📢announcements message

If you need more instructions, you need to download that zip

Extract the content inside your GAMMA folder and replace files

Done

[strange moon]

Alright it crashed once again

[brisk zinc]

Send your log

[strange moon]

My log is in the anomaly folder,right?

[brisk zinc]

.

[strange moon]

Ah-

My bad

Lol

[brisk zinc]

Why you no read

[strange moon]

Umm there are more then one log is the problem

[brisk zinc]

Screenshot?

[strange moon]

Screen?-

[brisk zinc]

Let me see

[strange moon]

Ohhh

[brisk zinc]

It should be the newest one

It gets recreated everytime you crash

[strange moon]

oh wai-

lemme see the one over the one i was on

[brisk zinc]

Yes it should be that one

[strange moon]

is it ok if i dm you it?

[brisk zinc]

It's best if you send it here or in #old-bugs so that everyone can see it if I can't help you

[last spire]

How do i update reshade?

[fresh aspen]

Hey, i like enhanced shaders, the graphics overall look cool but weapons looks like they were made out of plastic (no metal shine, no gloss etc.). Anyone know what to make them to better react to lighting?

without ES they look ok

[north turret]

not really

if its a BaS weapon then idk ask them to make the guns shinier

shaders , weapon models in general + BaS models are made by 2 different devs

they don't take into consideration shaders or stuff

[fresh aspen]

if seen that you can edit shaders in command line but i dont know if theres any to change the gloss

[north turret]

gloss will probably not effect weapon models

it MAY affect some vanilla models if they made it so that it effects them

but BaS I highly doubt

as I said

the devs of the 2 mods don't develop the mod with the idea in mind that shaders will be used to make the weapon glossier

[undone fjord]

anyone knows what causes this "reflection" on the world ? Its mostly in the evening at clear sky

happes everywhere. Not only in swamp

[north turret]

using any shaders?

if yes , try turning them of and on one by one and see if anything makes a difference

[undone fjord]

is this reflection normal ? I mean, even for vanilla standards

bit to bright or ?

[north turret]

on the water?

[undone fjord]

nah, ground

[north turret]

^^^^^^

[undone fjord]

its like a switch. At the evening i get this uber reflection

[north turret]

tinker with the settings in the menus

[undone fjord]

only using reshade

all off

ah ok

[north turret]

"using reshade"
"all off" that's

an oxymoron

you cant have it off while using it

if you use SOMETHING in the reshade it will mean that its on

[rich acorn]

After how much time do changes in mutant/ stalker population take effect?

[north turret]

and you're using one of the reshades

[north turret]

gradually

it won't be instant if enemies around you have already been spawned

they won't magically disappear or appear

it mostly happens through level loading

[undone fjord]

bro, chill your nipples. There is a "BUTTON" where you can turn all off. I did it, not much changed

[north turret]

I am chill I'm just explaining what you said makes no sense , in any case

start tinkering with the ingame settings

[undone fjord]

yeah, anyways. Thanks, i will try

[fresh aspen]

you have loaded glossy surfaces (there are reflections on the water) so propably this makes this effect on the ground

[willow hawk]

Hum depends on the weather mostly I think

[north turret]

if its rainy the surfaces get more glossy

and things

[stoic axle]

Hello hello

I'm in X19 in Radar, I can't open the first door inside the lab

Cannot interact with the numbers pad. The door gives me the prompt "Open door (F)". Pressing F does nothing

This door is usually never closed I believe to remember. Not in base Anomaly at least

[strange moon]

How do i change dir.

[strange moon]

Yes it really isnt closed in normal anomaly

Maybe in CoP or ShoC

But that's all

[stoic axle]

After loading the autosave into the labs again I could open the door with F. Problem solved

[strange moon]

Alright well that's good news

[north turret]

Remember people , when in doubt , quicksave/quickload

accepts no substitutes

[strange moon]

Yea

[stoic axle]

Yeah true, I was too quick with crying "problem!"

[strange moon]

That fixes probs 50% of bugs

Lol

[north turret]

quite literally yes

[willow hawk]

Also, when something happens, think about add-ons that could change that

[strange moon]

Lol

[willow hawk]

Why would someone code something to change the X19 door

[strange moon]

Forgot that exists

[willow hawk]

[strange moon]

Because idk

[stoic axle]

malice

[strange moon]

People find reasons really

[north turret]

to stop you from getting there too quickly an break the flow of the progression

[willow hawk]

It's fine

[strange moon]

Hahahaha

[willow hawk]

Well you need a good gas mask already

[strange moon]

Hey grok

How do i change dir for gamma?

[north turret]

dir?

install directory?

[strange moon]

Mhm

[north turret]

delete all , redo install process but change the folder

kek

[strange moon]

Delete all?

[north turret]

otherwise you'd have 2 copies of all the data

[strange moon]

So i need to reinstall gamma?

Completely?

[north turret]

@willow hawk

the question here is

Why would you want to do that in the first place?

[willow hawk]

Keep downloads folder

[strange moon]

Because i didnt have my gamma and anomaly folder in the right place in the first place
Now its in the right place

[north turret]

Note: they can't be in the same folder

[strange moon]

I know that

[north turret]

just in case

[willow hawk]

Like redo #old-how-to but move the downloads folder to the new install after step 2

[strange moon]

Alright thanks grok

Sitting here 8 hours trying to get it done after so long

[willow hawk]

#💰donations when it works

[north turret]

no donate to me

[willow hawk]

[north turret]

so just redo the whole install but after its done move the old downloads folder content into the new install folder

is that right?

[strange moon]

Yes

[north turret]

there's a video idea

[strange moon]

Exactly like that
By my understanding

[terse aspen]

Anyone tried to do the RF signal in swamps, 204GHz, found in a bandits PDA. Found the center of the signal, spent hours looking for bodies, even resorted to demo record mode and can't see anything. There is a map prop dead monolith there with a backpack stash, which had a little loot in it, but that won't be the RF signal will it? Bugged?

[north turret]

did you collect the loot?

[willow hawk]

If it was from a pda, yeah that was it

Especially when the bip bip stop

[hasty laurel]

Hey Grok, I want to use the Dead Zone Mod with GAMMA...Do I have to delete the Enhanced Shaders or is Dead Zone incompatible with your addon

[north turret]

if it's not in the mod pack it's probably incompatible

[hasty laurel]

Nope checked it..It actually loads up pretty well, but the enhanced shaders is messing with the lighting inside buildings..Any ideas.

[warped ginkgo]

Its compatible

like what is messing?

[hasty laurel]

I started as Military in agroprom and the lighting inside the building is just white..just plain white textures everywhere but outside the agroprom institute it's fine

Wish I could send a screenshot

Just asking will deleting shaders fix it

[warped ginkgo]

no idea

i use dead zone and i havr no such problem

well, a old version

[hasty laurel]

Ok thanks..I'll check it out later

[strange moon]

Ok so the mod loader doesnt wanna open
Im guessing its gone,how am i gonna get it back?

[terse aspen]

Thanks. The beeping didn't stop, on a reload either. If you think that was probably anyway it I'll leave it, no biggy even if it wasn't.

[hasty laurel]

Btw HD Pack + Cr3pis icons seems compatible with GAMMA so far for me...lmao

[outer mist]

so if you start loner is there a way to make friends with Mercs? at least enough to shop with them? i tried putting on some merc armor and walking into the base in Dead City they just shoot me

[vale mantle]

Is it possible to play without overhaul of ballistics?

[hasty laurel]

Neutral Mercs mod can be downloaded sepaerately from moddb...Not sure it'll break other mods

[vale mantle]

its horrendously dumb, like a PERSON is able to withstand 6 buckshots at point blank range like wtf

[strange moon]

Wtf

Ain't any fair lol

[north turret]

its buckshot.....

[vale mantle]

yes, and?

[hasty laurel]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/neutral-mercs

[north turret]

what are you shooting at exactly

[strange moon]

Me

-w-

[vale mantle]

skat 9 i guess

[north turret]

I'd shoot you too

[hasty laurel]

Check this out..Not sure if it'll mess relations.

[north turret]

skat 9 has high ballistic protection

its basically shooting BB balls from an airsoft gun at a concrete wall and expecting it to crack

it won't happen

buckshot is made for mutants not for people

use the correct ammo

[strange moon]

M yes

[vale mantle]

because that how it works irl

[north turret]

I mean, that is how body armor works, yes

[hasty laurel]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/neutral-mercs

[vale mantle]

good ole bullshit times of vanilla CS

[north turret]

its buckshot

......

use AP slugs

[vale mantle]

so its not possible to dissable that addon?

[north turret]

it is but why would you when it functions correctly?

just buy ap slugs

what's the problem?

[vale mantle]

just tell me how

[strange moon]

Um

I also have a question

[north turret]

Just uncheck GBOOBS

it couldn't be easier

[hasty laurel]

Is it possible to create another portable instance on MO2. It seems I canot create one with GAMMA installed

[fresh aspen]

Which mod to disable to get the classic anomaly weapon repair by mechanics? I disabled groks economy and craft and repair overhaul but still my weapon have 100% con with parts damaged

[strange moon]

;^;

[north turret]

Only 1

well depends if you have other Mo2 apps installed I guess

I think

nvm

[strange moon]

Bro

I can't launch MO2

How am i gonna fix that

[hasty laurel]

Well that's a bummer. I wanted to try out EFP 3.0 in another instance...Creating a Global instance messes up the maps.

[north turret]

It can only have one instance

[hasty laurel]

Wipe the entire folder of MO2 and then re-install again..Follow the Grok's installation instructions..It should work

[strange moon]

Oh yeah i forgot to mention

I dont have MO2

[terse aspen]

Disguise system is very particular as to what will work. You need armor and helmet (I disable helmet as I'm often somewhat unsure what helmets are acceptable to some factions) to be at 100% durability, good condition weapons that the faction in question use (despite the npc's weapons being trashed ), a small (maybe big is ok for some factions) backpack with very little in your inventory, and to walk not jog, sprint or jump. I can't remember if there are any other things to consider, check the settings. Doing that I was able to get into the bar as a bandit and take the kill top stalkers quest from Snitch. This was in vanilla anomaly but as far as I know it works the same in G.A.M.M.A.

[strange moon]

How do i get MO2

Lol xd

[hasty laurel]

https://github.com/Modorganizer2/modorganizer/releases

[strange moon]

T h a n k y o u

[fresh aspen]

someone?

[hasty laurel]

It's the best thing ever created..Way superior to JSGME

[strange moon]

That yes

[hasty laurel]

nP bro

[fresh fiber]

Mod Organizer is included in the GAMMA installer I think though

[terse aspen]

IIRC I could take missions from Barkeep too, though can't swear to that.

[fresh fiber]

Oh wait no

I thought it was

[north turret]

gonna make a video about what ammo to use brb

[blissful tree]

You probably need to start a new game for that to go away sadly.

If you haven't already

[fresh aspen]

Haven't

[fresh fiber]

Ah, it is in the original installer, that's why I was confused

[hasty laurel]

https://lazystalker.blogspot.com/2020/11/mod-organizer-2-stalker-anomaly-setup.html

[blissful tree]

I'm not the smartest mf around here but see if weapons don't have parts anymore on a new save.

[vale mantle]

the game crashes the moment i do that and kill somebody

[hasty laurel]

Is the Flint Shaders compatible with GAMMA...I see GAMMA already has Enhanced shaders and patches for shader based scopes. Or is it even possible to add a new shader.

[fresh aspen]

i still have parts after new game

[blissful tree]

If you want to go through all that hassle of setting up custom mods then it's up to you, so far nobody talked about that shader.

[north turret]

alright video about ammo is done uploading now

[blissful tree]

Yeah idk then you may have to disable some other stuff but I don't know which.

I feel like making a notepad with quick answers based on what people want to disable exactly from Gamma to have their preferred playstyle but I don't stalk all the time.

[golden elm]

Is there a level cap for the skill system addon? Just curious.

[hasty laurel]

Thanks...I better not take any chances with other custom stuff..

[blissful tree]

If it was anything but shaders it would have probably been fine but imo they have a high chance to ruin stuff.

[hasty laurel]

Sure..Im not touching anything then..Thanks.

[blissful tree]

I. E I couldn't play expedition due to how weird the shadows would look on my kinda outdated laptop.

I mean, no one's stopping you from trying.

[hasty laurel]

So far GAMMA is working for me without any problems..No thanks bro.

[blissful tree]

If you're adamant for changes then you can try after fully experiencing what Gamma has to offer.

[strange moon]

;_;

pain

how do i fix

this

aaaaaaaaaaa

[willow hawk]

Follow #old-how-to

[deep veldt]

Can someone tell me if it is intended for Lvl 2 NVG to show so brightly at distance? 4:45AM little to no moonlight

[north turret]

https://youtu.be/pniWHXx4Fag video done

[terse aspen]

IRL buckshot will not penetrate level III body armor. The wearer will probably have some bruises, though maybe not even that depending on how much padding the plate is backed with.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5b-D9DiG7uU

[north turret]

please note that the production value is not high I'm not a profesional

[fresh aspen]

@willow hawk maybe?

[north turret]

its aimed to those who ask the question of the ammo doing no damage as I said in the video

[blissful tree]

Good job Ivan

[north turret]

👍

I tried

[willow hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/pepe-space-run-pepe-gone-pepe-bye-bye-gif-20984604

[north turret]

leave a like thanks

They're fun to make and not too hard so why not

[blissful tree]

Liked.

[fresh aspen]

if answer is somewhere on discord im sorry but i've searched and found nothing

[north turret]

the thumbnail is honestly the best part

[blissful tree]

So for the multiple badges I only have to increase the texture quality? Well, hope I can manage without framerate problems or to have to get classic texture.

[deep veldt]

Desolate have you tried GAMMA as is? It is highly recommended to try it as is before modifying.

[north turret]

lel

[deep veldt]

like a week plus in game or repairing a weapon from scratch

then you will

[fresh aspen]

tried for few hours, but i've asked about repairing guns at mechanic, not if i tried the gamma or not. i just want classic repair system that's all

[willow hawk]

Weapon Parts Overhaul

But doing so is really not recommended

[fresh aspen]

Can't find it in MO2

[willow hawk]

Since you bypass the whole progression balance

Just adapt and conquer

The system is simple

#│📚manual

[willow hawk]

The problem is that it allows you to repair any gun early on for money. And gamma balance isn't balanced around that

[short gulch]

. . .

? ? ?

[willow hawk]

#│📚manual explains it all

anomaly-wpo

[north turret]

LMAO

HEHEH

LMAO

[short gulch]

forget to install the entire modpack?

ah

i'm dumb, you have a filter search

'why is he missing so many mods'

[fresh aspen]

No, i didnt know thats written in shorcut

Thanks guys

[fresh aspen]

even with groks economy disabled? i've seen no bigger problems with balance after whole day of playing

Just like in other modpacks

[north turret]

I like the way gamma is balanced

[willow hawk]

Ah you disable the GAMMA economy as well ?

[fresh aspen]

yeah

[willow hawk]

Why do you play GAMMA then

[north turret]

you can go "hehe me click buy me repair gun me get tons of ammo heehhehe"

[willow hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/say-what-dunno-shrug-john-krasinski-idk-gif-16557956

[fresh aspen]

also craft and rapair overhaul

[north turret]

if you don't like it

play anomaly

or efp

or area

or misery

or anything else

[willow hawk]

Yeah go play EFP

[fresh aspen]

EFP - performance is shit for me

[north turret]

that's basically CoD and this point anyway

[fresh aspen]

Guys, im not telling you that gamma is shit xD

[willow hawk]

Instead of trying to get into GAMMA and it's balance you just want to return to vanilla anomaly

[fresh aspen]

but everyone have its own playstyle

and just wanted to modify it to my likings

that's all

[north turret]

then modify anomaly to your likings

[willow hawk]

I just don't get why testing something different is so hard for some people

[vale mantle]

ah yes, the ribcage soup, my favourite

[north turret]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/902653488364937257.gif?size=96&quality=lossless
reee game broke
reee ammo no work
reee why can't repair
ree why gun jam

no offense

[fresh aspen]

you probably have really sad life mate

[willow hawk]

One guy modding the game since 2 years tries to rebalance everything but yet it's better to return to something broken like vanilla anomaly "progression"

[north turret]

ah yes anomaly progression
buys pkm on the 5th day and slauthers everyone at cnpp with a leather jacket

such progression

[willow hawk]

But okay, you can disable whatever you want that's what GAMMA is made for as well

[fresh aspen]

hey man, i'm just the only guy, others like your rebalance

no offence at all

[north turret]

the mod does offer the reshades so that's nice

[willow hawk]

I would say, once you are tired of Anomaly style progression, start a new game, and use GAMMA defaults

[fresh aspen]

appreciate your work really

but some mods are not for me

[fresh aspen]

will try someday of course

[willow hawk]

Just like some people ask me constantly "but why Ballistic Overhaul doesn't let me one shot people with shit ammo anymore"

[fresh aspen]

but for now i want to finish anomaly on good some good modpack

[willow hawk]

They want something different but they want the same shit as usual at the same time

[north turret]

wha

[willow hawk]

Eternal Big Mac eaters

[warped ginkgo]

[fresh aspen]

and for now gamma is the best, few tweaks (for me) and its perfect

[north turret]

enjoy

[willow hawk]

👍

[fresh aspen]

ok going to play, sory for interruptions

have a good evening guys

[willow hawk]

[fresh fiber]

Speaking about ammo, are the ennemies affected by GBOOBS ? It would be funny to be shot at by someone using buckshot while wearing a badass armor and shrug it off

[north turret]

that one I do not have an answer to

[fresh fiber]

I think in the readme it mentions that only the player has this system, I wonder if the NPC can have it in the future, maybe as an optionnal

[north turret]

yes

enemies do high damage either way

[willow hawk]

NPC to player : nope

[north turret]

now I know

[willow hawk]

Because armor system is different

[fresh fiber]

I think it would need some AI change so they try to shoot in your legs or run away if their ammo is uneffective so I'm not sure it can be pulled of in an interesting way

[north turret]

too much of a hassle lel

[willow hawk]

It's almost undoable

And anyways the GBOOBS code can't be applied to the actor

[north turret]

kek

[willow hawk]

Unless you want reduced armor until the end of the game

[fresh fiber]

Maybe in S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 :^)

[willow hawk]

A clean code to comprehensively have actor defense matching the UI would already be good enough

[north turret]

grok will single handedly make stalker 2

[willow hawk]

Currently you can be 100% in the inventory and still take damages

Just because the code to manage actor damage is fucking garbage

It should be redone from scratch in LUA

[fresh fiber]

The kevlar plates that gives only 1 percent of ballistic protection are a bit weird, If they stopped a lot more but were destroyed after a few hit it would be nicer and more strategic

[willow hawk]

I can do it but it would take a lot of time and it means no RC2 before this summer

[fresh fiber]

Lmao

[north turret]

people would just spam their belt with them and be invincible

[willow hawk]

So the next step is RC2 > Release on moddb of 1.0.0

[blissful tree]

Guys, very important question ... G36 or the most common M4 variant?

[willow hawk]

Then I'll simply maintain GAMMA

[willow hawk]

Try both

I think G36 is way cooler

[supple basalt]

Hey guys do you know if there's chance for Expert Toolkits to spawn in stashes in the south of the map ?

Or i need to go further north for that ?

[willow hawk]

Only Red Forest +

[blissful tree]

Same, I have a special bond with it, first time I completed Anomaly was with the G36.

[supple basalt]

oh... alright! Thanks Grok! Brilliant modpack by the way!

[willow hawk]

[blissful tree]

Think I'll repair it instead of the M4.

[willow hawk]

At some point I hope it will turn to "brilliant game"

Since I'm revamping almost every mechanic of the game

Next up : mutants pelts

Yeah I find the plates and stuff really boring

[vale mantle]

how do i start Operation Monolith Retribution? kuznetzov does not want to give any non vanilla tasks. do i need to reach some experience level?

[modern fern]

Yea…hard to love plates when you have a full empty

[willow hawk]

although having a 100% full empty is quite the task now

[modern fern]

Last I tried the scientist didn’t have it for sale so at the advice of another imma sleep first and hopefully he’ll have it in stock. Otherwise, task grind time

[willow hawk]

I need feedback from hardcore players to see how long / easy to get a full set of 100% endgame artefacts once you have access to the north

[willow hawk]

you can F7 > refresh trader inventory

[modern fern]

Golden, thank you /pin

[willow hawk]

but yeah you need to wait for the trader to restock

it's in the On target panel

(top center of F7 menu)

[modern fern]

Thanks again, great job. I’ll have to pay you for this great dlc again

[willow hawk]

wait for the new GBOOBS update

that is already in

New and better camera shake when shooting

[north turret]

isnt full empty from roadside picnic

[supple basalt]

hMMM weird thing happening

my duty exo companion dissapears about 50meters into Garbage when traveling from Rostok

he just despawns every time

[graceful iron]

are you sure he is not dying to a cat or something?

[north turret]

could be

if theres red around his hp it might mean he is in combat

[graceful iron]

also are you aware of the controls for companions and the companion teleport button ?

[supple basalt]

no i literally travel from rostok to garbage

[north turret]

like fast travel?

[supple basalt]

he spawns with me at the garbage entrance/exit

no just travel by foot

i have 2 companions altogether

one loner one duty

the loner remains and duty one just despawns

i let him despawn i tried everything. no idea what was going on there

he did despawn like 30 seconds after i got into garbage.

[warped ginkgo]

i think grok fixed it anyway, are you in a old version?

[supple basalt]

i just updated 3 hours ago

[graceful iron]

i thought that only didnt allow them to spawn not completely deleted them

similar bug has been reported before?

[warped ginkgo]

#🔨base-gamma-support message

[north turret]

lmao

[graceful iron]

"exo killer"

[graceful iron]

thats probably whats despawning your exo duty guy

[supple basalt]

you know if it's safe to disable that plugin ?

[graceful iron]

do you have the latest installer?

v3

and you updated 3 hours ago?

[graceful iron]

not sure but its only a balance one maybe

[supple basalt]

i did have V2 installer

[graceful iron]

.

[supple basalt]

now i downloaded v3 . Too late anyway because my exo companion despawned 😦

[graceful iron]

buh

[supple basalt]

such a good dude he was

[graceful iron]

then its a error by you

and if you have a save you can always load that after updating

[supple basalt]

naah not gonna bother. sooner or later i'll find another one

[graceful iron]

ok

[supple basalt]

thanks !

didn't realise there was v3 installer

[graceful iron]

its mentioned in the install channel

and in announcements

[north turret]

time to end it

[graceful iron]

yes

[north turret]

🙄

jk

is GAMMA only 170MB?

Or am I missing something?

#old-how-to

[north turret]

yh and it says only 171MB

[willow hawk]

read like the first line

[north turret]

LMAO

yeah that got me confused

bc when i download the .rar it says only 170mb xd

yes

its an installer

and it installs the mods through moddb for you

yes

ooh

so you don't have to

[willow hawk]

so it actually supports modders

[north turret]

make surs to read install carefully

yh yh sorry

also manual

yes ❤️

[willow hawk]

[north turret]

exactly

i will test it on my shitty computer then, thanks

so grok stays happy

[supple basalt]

Grok

is it safe to add dead bodies on minimap addon ?

I mean not on minimap but on PDA. There is another addon than the one included in the modpack that marks all dead bodies as gray "X" on PDA Map

[graceful iron]

he knows

he wants them to be in the pda

[timid edge]

Yeah, i missed that part lol

[graceful iron]

a mod that adds them there

[supple basalt]

i know i've seen one such mod but i can't find it right now

[graceful iron]

yes only him

but other modders are making most mods

he is doing the compatibility and balancing stuff and currently working on new features

well not currently he is probably taking a break

[timid edge]

Wonder if he can do some anomaly specific fixing.

[graceful iron]

?

like fix anomaly bugs?

[timid edge]

@graceful iron yes

[graceful iron]

idk

[timid edge]

be neat if that @lyric bobcat was the same person who does the fallout mods.

@graceful iron i haven't updated. Do you know if Grok fixed that issue i had with not being able to read the condition numbers?

[graceful iron]

well it was not really an issue but the textures being really small

they are added by a mod

but i dont think he changed anything with them no

try different resolutions

[deep veldt]

Can someone tell me what Default HUD FOV is?

[strange moon]

IT DOESNT WORK

HOW DOESNT IT WORK

[rustic comet]

weapon distance

[strange moon]

i did everything right

[rustic comet]

lower hud fov = weapon on your nose

[terse aspen]

It defaulted to 80 when I updated earlier, though BaS suggests 75 on it's moddb page, not sure if changes made in G.A.M.M.A. stop that from mattering, I go with 75 to be on the safe side. (I ought to stick with 80 for testing really).

[rustic comet]

right one should be 0.65 or 0.60 man

[strange moon]

hey question
i dont know what i did wrong and it still doesn't work even though i did everything right

[rustic comet]

i mean, matter of tastes

[terse aspen]

Oh, HUD FoV, sorry, um, I'll look since I haven't changed it, one moment.

[rustic comet]

[terse aspen]

0.65

[rustic comet]

on some guns i have 0.45 because i don't like the reposition at all

like bas fals

[graceful iron]

what doesnt work?

game crash?

crash log

[strange moon]

here ya go

and yes it did crash

[graceful iron]

after installing?

[strange moon]

nono

after i got to the menu and tried starting the game from there

a new game

made my char and loadout everything

[graceful iron]

when was the last time you did a complete installation or an update?

[strange moon]

some minutes ago

[graceful iron]

update?

[strange moon]

too

[graceful iron]

wha the

falco are you reading the log?

[brisk zinc]

I though you got it working

[graceful iron]

look at the log

[brisk zinc]

.jar thing

[strange moon]

I sorta got it working

[brisk zinc]

@strange moon #│🔧troubleshooting message
Try this

[strange moon]

But then again it still doesnt work

[brisk zinc]

"stalker anomaly+g.a.m.m.a"

Hmmmmmmmmm

You do have Anomaly and GAMMA in SEPARATE folders, right?

[strange moon]

Exactly

[brisk zinc]

On the same drive?

[strange moon]

Hmmm yes

[brisk zinc]

Try this

[strange moon]

Mhm i am

[brisk zinc]

Let us know

[strange moon]

Oh i will

Been on this so long it just

I cant give up

[brisk zinc]

@graceful iron I'm still thinking about the folders

[graceful iron]

if this does not fix it then try a complete installation if you had not

[strange moon]

I had 2 already

[brisk zinc]

Because it isn't C:\Anomaly or C:\STALKER G.A.M.M.A. RC1

It's C:\Folder\Anomaly

[strange moon]

Weird

[brisk zinc]

c:/stalker anomaly+g.a.m.m.a/s.t.a.l.k.e.r. anomaly/

And I guess GAMMA it's inside that "stalker anomaly + gamma"

[strange moon]

Yes

With the seperate folder of anomaly

[graceful iron]

like in the video?

install video

or didnt watch that?

[strange moon]

I did watch it-

[brisk zinc]

Straight from the video

As you can see, Anomaly is on F:, GAMMA too

It isn't inside another folder

[strange moon]

Hmmm well lemme pull it there then

[brisk zinc]

You can keep it in C: of course

But it need to be in C:

[strange moon]

Ya understood

[graceful iron]

i think he got that

[brisk zinc]

Hope so, it's not the first time

[strange moon]

Yeah lmao

[brisk zinc]

@graceful iron now that I think of it, even if the jar problem persist, Exo is playing the game in DX8

[graceful iron]

maybe should try starting it on dx11 first?

i think dx8 needs extra steps

[strange moon]

Potato pc and ltx is gone already

[brisk zinc]

You can try using those exes in the link if the problem is still there

#│🔧troubleshooting message

[strange moon]

Where do i put them though

In the anomaly folder,mods,downloads?

[brisk zinc]

Good question, Grok where are you?

For now try the first fix

And put both folders where they need to be

[graceful iron]

i will check where they seem to go

[brisk zinc]

There is a readme inside

[warped ginkgo]

Did you do the 'jar' solución?

solution*

[strange moon]

Jar?

[warped ginkgo]

Yes

[graceful iron]

[warped ginkgo]

Your crasjlog had 'jar'

At the end

[timid edge]

.65

[warped ginkgo]

---

The Jar issue

On boot if you have a crash to desktop related to a jar section you need to copy paste the GAMMA RC1/. Grok's Modpack Installer/GAMMA/modpack_patches/ content to the Anomaly folder.

Alternately you can get these exe (non ARX ones) :

https://github.com/themrdemonized/STALKER-Anomaly-modded-exes/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

[brisk zinc]

@warped ginkgo we already told him to do it, we're waiting

[rustic comet]

whats the cbt player role for

[timid edge]

acronyms are bad.

[brisk zinc]

CockBallTorture, joke taken

[rustic comet]

yeah but why

[brisk zinc]

So we can get a serious answer 😛

[graceful iron]

i couldnt figure out where to put them? i think in the anomaly folder

this is the readme

[strange moon]

Since i moved the anomaly folder i gotta reinstall it a g a i n

But the jar file is already in so that should hopefully fix it when I'm done

And i mean the jar fix file

Lol-

[timid edge]

Those little square blue boxes with the white lids. Are those suppose to be random stashes? Or are they like the square wooden boxes? I see the blue ones scattered throughout, every once and a great while i'll actually get something from them. But then i ran into one where you can actually open it.

anyone notice if they're okay to destroy or not?

[delicate wharf]

the blue boxes are potential marked stashes

not sure what you mean by destroy

[graceful iron]

yes you can shoot them or knife them

takes about 1-3 hits in anomaly depending on the knife and takes 1-2 hits in gamma

[delicate wharf]

oh now I know what you mean ignore me, knife them shits

[timid edge]

you say theyre potential marked stashes, which it seems is correct. Wouldn't destroying them ruin the chance of them being marked?

[delicate wharf]

the blue boxes you can smash are not potential stashes. I thought you meant the bigger openable blue ones that are in various locations

[timid edge]

I notice those things don't respawn. at least not after a day or 2.

[delicate wharf]

boxes don't respawn

[timid edge]

well if those things don't respawn, how does my save not become bloated?

[delicate wharf]

im not sure what you mean by that. This is just base game behavior

[timid edge]

i mean that is a lot of useless information to store in my save file for it to load every last box i destroy. I think you might be incorrect on that, though. I thought i noticed them respawn after a bit. Not sure if it is time or distance dependent, though.

And what do Achievements do? anything?

The blue boxes i mean. I notice the brown ones don't

[delicate wharf]

I mean there are not many boxes in the game so it wouldn't matter. Couple hundred? Even if they do respawn you could just run around and destroy them all before any respawn. Save would still have to track it

also achievements each give you something, check pda guide

[timid edge]

nice

forgot about that guide

[loud verge]

Random sidenote, is anyone getting sensitivity issues with latest couple updates?

[graceful iron]

updates change the resolution to 2k

increasing your mouse sens in game

change that to whatever your screen res is

1080 should be fine most likely

[graceful iron]

.

[loud verge]

Turns out, something randomly changed the sensitivity out the blue to nearly nothing. Oddly.

[warped ginkgo]

720p gang

[loud verge]

Which is also odd as I'm running 3440x1440

[strange moon]

Still...doesnt...work...

I think i did smth wrong eith my anomaly file with the jar fix

[pure scarab]

where can i sell artefacts?

like i am in cordon and dont know who would buy, since sid doesnt buy them

[desert robin]

Are new things being prioritised over RC2? The game is great so far, but a lot of neat addons arent included because they're presumably being held off before RC2, whereas new things and features seem to be coming in first. I mean no criticism or anything, was just wondering if there was going to be any changes where the #📎mods-added-for-next-build will come into the current setup or if theyre all going to be RC2 cause theres a lot of good stuff there thats missing. When i say RC2, i might be misremembering that its currently RC2, so i mean in "What ever the next big 'version' is that these addons will be in" @willow hawk

[graceful iron]

no one buys the really damaged ones

you will have to put them in a stash for later

you can use them to repair other artefacts

[pure scarab]

ok thanks, becuse i got like the anomalous bread and sid doesnt want to buy it

[strange moon]

probably because it's nearly useless

[pure scarab]

listen

its a bread that floats

i am sure some crazy collector would want it

[strange moon]

That yes

Idk why not sidro tho

[pure scarab]

sid would smuggle it to a collecto

[strange moon]

Ya

"It's radioactive,anomalous flying bread!!"

[pure scarab]

i like the new fruit punch effect

[strange moon]

Well im having problem running the game

Because shit doesn't wanna work as intended

Or i put it into wrong order lol

[graceful iron]

the bread? sid should buy it

or the ecologists

[strange moon]

Oh the ecos buy most likely artifacts due to how valuable they are to their research of understanding the zone

I dont know what they can get out of anomolous bread though

[stoic harbor]

I can't seem to find Crutch from the Last Dawn mission. Any idea where he is?

[obtuse rune]

Has anyone had the bounty squads attack them?

[valid slate]

Correct me if this is the wrong place to ask, I am going through the install process and it keeps attempting to install 'anomaly_fdda.zip' has anyone run into this issue before>

[loud verge]

I just slept and lost this mission, am I missing anything good?

[stoic harbor]

I've raked the whole north of the swamps and I'm just sorta tired of it

[timid edge]

the installer would repeat installations for me, eventually it went on to the next mod in line.

[valid slate]

I think it has finally installed the mod, now I just have to sort some mods that have their numbers out of order and install two that have red Xs on them

Thanks

[timid edge]

missions always have tags unless theyre items, i thought. i've had a mission target skip half across the map on me.

[nimble axle]

Ran the update tool and now getting a crash when i load my game

[stoic harbor]

There's no tag

[timid edge]

i would look at installation guide before messing with those red x's

[valid slate]

Hmm good point, just saw something saying to not mess with it if it is in optional I think

[graceful iron]

the church?

[valid slate]

I'll just fix the number order for now

[stoic harbor]

There's no quest waypoint and it says Crutch is somwhere in the north of the swamps

[graceful iron]

thats all the quest says?

[stoic harbor]

Yeah, "North of the Swamp Road" or "In the Northern Region of the Swamps"

[timid edge]

think he's hiding in that tunnel in the northwest?

[stoic harbor]

Where Doctor is?

[timid edge]

incase you don't know of it. in the farthest north western corner, all the way in the top left, underneath a train bridge is a tunnel where somebody is camping out. not sure who it is, but if you havent seen that person, check them out.

[graceful iron]

nah its not that
