[charred rivet]

not the mods folder

so it detects the downloads folder and just continues doing what it does

[warped ginkgo]

yea it should be fine

[charred rivet]

unzipping and placing in the mods folder

[warped ginkgo]

so what's your problem?

[charred rivet]

same old same old

but this time no errors

or corrupt files

it's installing the complete rn

oh also

my friends game works now

[tidal raft]

Great, fantastic. 👍

[charred rivet]

now i just need mine to work xD

[slim cypress]

everytime i use a bandage/med item i crash, any idea how to fix this?

[charred rivet]

you might be missing files

did you make sure you didn't have any red x's?

[slim cypress]

thats what i was thinking too, i've re-done the download portion of the install twice now to try and minimize it, i have a single red x on a mod that isnt ticked

which is maids vanilla icons

[north turret]

thats okay

[charred rivet]

yeah

that's fine aslong as it is'y selected

[slim cypress]

the rest are just overwrite-overwritten warnings

[charred rivet]

did you redownload it yourself from the mod orginizer?

[slim cypress]

i used the gamma installer and just repeated from step 6 like it says

i also have these installed ontop

but the rest of the mod is just as it comes

[charred rivet]

what did you change?

from what i do i just don't fuckwith anything even the optionals

[slim cypress]

just added those, the rest of the mods are as they come from the installers

[charred rivet]

might be a mod conflict

also

[slim cypress]

i get a stack overflow in the logs when i use the bandage

[charred rivet]

the minimap already has a toggole on and off known as the / key

[slim cypress]

ah, i'll untick the extra one then

[charred rivet]

i reccomend playing with them all turned off, when you teliport it also brings your followers

they all look unneded tbh

the staches fix no idea what that's about either

[slim cypress]

i cant open em if its not turned on

dunno why

FDDA's encompasses medical items too right?

im thinking it might be that.

everything works fine till i use the bandage then it just borks

[tidal raft]

FDDA animates medicine too, yes.

Or was it THAP...

[charred rivet]

it's because your save files have mods that arn't activated i think

[slim cypress]

new save each time

[charred rivet]

it's not like fallout 4 where if you turn off and turn on mods it's normal

[slim cypress]

been starting a new game each time just to avoid issues since i havent gotten it all working 100%

[charred rivet]

usaully the way to go

@tidal raft quick question, if i run out of space and stop it and restart it will that cause problems?

[tidal raft]

No. You can take the time afterward to clear up some space and run the installer again.

It'll check which mods are already installed and jump forward to the next one in line that isn't installed yet.

[charred rivet]

will it fuck up the order of them in the mod orginizer?

[tidal raft]

No.

The installer will move the modlist profiles into MO2's profile folder when the installation is finished.

[proven thorn]

Why is friendly AI so much worse than enemy AI?

[tidal raft]

They behave pretty much the same, except the companions have worse aim on higher difficulties.

[charred rivet]

just don't get between them and there new found loot xD

[tidal raft]

there new found loot
'there' where?

[charred rivet]

Was gunned down by my own faction xD

how do i fix this?

[tidal raft]

Download the mod manually.

Place it in the downloads folder.

[mortal flame]

i have a problem with... colours? i guess. When i walk sometimes colors just change, from brighter to darker, not a big diff but it's annoying for me. any idea what this can be? I even turned off all shaders but it's still the same.

[tidal raft]

I was pointing out that you are using the wrong conjugation of the word 'they'.

[willow hawk]

That can happen on some parts of some maps

Like the stalker base north of cordon

[mortal flame]

but what is causing that? never happened in base anomaly

[charred rivet]

Hmmm

seems to have not been ordered correctly and now i have to restart xD

[tidal raft]

Just copy the profile files from Grok's Installer into the MO2 folder.

[charred rivet]

wait a minute

is it supposed to be that big?

or is it because the zips and the zips unpacked

[north turret]

sorry but where can i find the moddb mirrors so i can make my download speed better?

[tidal raft]

\GAMMA MO2\.Grok's Modpack Installer\resources\profiles_files move the files here to GAMMA MO2\profiles\G.A.M.M.A @charred rivet
That will fix your mod list order.

[tidal raft]

Did you uncheck "Force Github Downloads" from the installer?

[charred rivet]

uhh wut

[north turret]

saw one post here from grok showing a picture of how different mirrors you can set in moddb_mirrors.txt

in the groks modpack installer folder

[tidal raft]

I have no idea.

Isn't it as simple as copying the addon's mirror link directly from Moddb and pasting it over the old link in the .txt?

[north turret]

idk

i might be schizophrenic

but i thought i saw this post here somewhere

[tidal raft]

This?
#old-how-to message

[north turret]

yes

thanks

[tidal raft]

[proven thorn]

The Monolith Nosorog only has 35% ballistic res, what's up with that?

[tidal raft]

42% un-upgraded according to my debug.

Oh wait, yours might be modified by Outfit Balancer.

[proven thorn]

I'd assume so

[tidal raft]

Welp. Just don't get hit.

[proven thorn]

It really squashes the stats and makes high-end armor not much of an upgrade

if any

[tidal raft]

Indeed. Hence why I disable ADB and Outfit Balancer.

Two shots with 7.62x51 AP will kill you in a fully ballistics upgraded Nosorog.

[proven thorn]

ADB?

[tidal raft]

Actor Damage Balancer.

#╟❓general-offtopic message

An SMG loaded with FMJs can kill you with 'true damage' inside a Nosorog when ADB is active.

[desert robin]

How long goes it take roughly in game time for spawn adjustments to take effect? I decreased zombies but just wondering when i should notice the effect.

[tidal raft]

You activated zombies in ZCP?

[desert robin]

Yeah, i thought they already were i just reduced them

[tidal raft]

They were disabled for a reason, but you do you.
They will begin spawning after your current 12 hour cycle.

[desert robin]

Thanks. What i mean is they were on, i must have enabled it.. and at like 80% so i dropped it to like 5%. Cool so after 12h they should drop down. Thanks!

[tidal raft]

[harsh frost]

RC 2 by end of the month ?

[charred rivet]

@tidal raft cough, i think my problem is the fact anomally won't launch xD

gonna reinstall anomally xD that might be the reason it won't launch

[tidal raft]

If it doesn't launch without MO2 it might be your best bet. Good luck.

[charred rivet]

It was the base game i was trying to launch, I thought i'd double check that my save has been created after multiple deletions and reinstalls xd

it sucks too

i deleted the downloads folder

oooof

[tidal raft]

"What a shame."

[charred rivet]

got this error trying to launch the base game

forgot how to fix this because i got this before

[civic portal]

my dudes. I'm trying to add Deadzone + Agressor Ground (texture packs basically) to my load order in mo2. What do I need to do to make them show up in mo2?

maybe I'm putting them in the wrong folder (the mods subfolder in gamma rc1 folder)

[charred rivet]

there's downloads and the mod folder

my guess it would be in the mods folder then add it to it

but i'm not sure tbh

[civic portal]

this way, by using the portable instance in mo2, they don't show up

maybe they have to be in both folders...?

[charred rivet]

don't think so

not sure tho

[civic portal]

no problem, I'll try a few things, or just give up and play it as it is lol

[winter gust]

maybe try the add mod button in mo2?

[charred rivet]

i suggested that

but ayra is correct

[civic portal]

Ok, I thought you could just refresh with the folders already unpacked in the mods folder

[charred rivet]

na

would show you but i'm dealing with my own problems rn xD

[civic portal]

no problem really

if deadzone wasn't 35 freakin gbs I would pack it and open it that way lol

[scenic pulsar]

is "force github downloads" required to get the latest updates?? it seems so by what it says in the installer if I have it unticked...

[civic portal]

solved. I installed one random mod as you described from the downloads folder, and my other mods (already unpacked in mods folder ) showed up

[tardy dove]

I heard from a video that stalker gamma includes new quests is this true? And if so what factions and what are they about

[glacial shadow]

only one way to find out B)

[supple basalt]

does it show you this error after a clean install of anomaly 1.5.1 ?

[charred rivet]

correct

[supple basalt]

so maybe that's why GAMMA wouldn't start either ?

hmm

[charred rivet]

No

the game itself was corrupted

i reinstalled and then got that error

before i reinstalled no error didn't even try to start

[supple basalt]

you don't have anything in gamedata folder do you ?

[charred rivet]

and the whole time i thought the mod was broken when it was the game xD

[charred rivet]

it was empty, should be empty since it would create it's own files

[supple basalt]

try delete appdata folder and start the game ?

[charred rivet]

welp

my dumb ass was using winrar

i hate myself

[supple basalt]

oh wow don't use winrar

use 7z

[charred rivet]

i swear i was suing 7zip

[supple basalt]

just switch preffered software to 7z for all .zip.rar files

[charred rivet]

this is why i get confused alot

[supple basalt]

yeah you don't really need winrar

[charred rivet]

using 7zip now

actually

[supple basalt]

i think that's outdated now . haven't seen any archives that require winrar for ages

[charred rivet]

i think i only ever got tat error with winrar

[supple basalt]

just uninstall it so it don't clutter your pc

also

before you install gamma

make sure you start vanilla anomaly first

to create it's files

then start gamma install

[charred rivet]

it won't work for me

i get the same error even using 7zip

[brittle kestrel]

is there a way to reset AI hostility? I keep having odd situations of loners going hostile to like everyone else around them.

[undone fjord]

hehe, had like 1-1 situation right now. My solution : Activate debug mode, go invisible / incognito and then aim at the dudes and "set squad goodwill" to neutral

[brittle kestrel]

ok, I'll give that a try. I reloaded because the loners were wiping out the ecologists

[soft leaf]

which map is the gamma main screen

[tidal raft]

I think it is Agroprom Underground.

[north turret]

hated the agroprom underground

until i realized the electro anomaly can actually be ran through

[halcyon mulch]

Man this will sound crazy but I dont like EFT weapon positions.I prefer the feel of vanilla weapons look like they are being carried at hip.There is no way we will be running around for 12 hours a day with weapon at shoulder.

Could I simply remove a file here or there or are these positions dug deep into the mod?

[tidal raft]

No idea, but the auto-lower mod lets your weapon model be placed parallel to your screen's bottom. You also generally have a weapon strap to shift the weight to your body more.

[halcyon mulch]

I do use the lower weapon key constantly so there is that.Thanks for response

[midnight void]

Yes, it adds storylines for Clear Sky, Ecologists and Militaries (3 new storylines)

[north turret]

how do i make it so my hipfire and ADS FOV match up? theyre both set to the same value in settings and mcm settings but it still zooms in when i ADS

[tardy dove]

Great thanks

[warped ginkgo]

what?

[tough wagon]

Hi,got an issue.IDK if its common or not

but all my artifacts and attachments (from attachments mod) are all starting at 7%

i checked my files on MO2 and nothing is underling it nor the debug menu helps

does anyone know why?

[warped ginkgo]

#│📚manual message

grok said that artefacts will spawn with random conditions

but if you added custom mods, maybe it's breaking a script? no idea

[timid edge]

nevermind. It would stand to reason he would be working on bugs, whatever the kind.

[tough wagon]

i did download the attachments mod which had no problem a week or 2 ago.it all happened with the new update.Other than that,everything is fine

[timid edge]

so i am kind of at a loss here. I have been building up trader levels and slowly progressing farther north, but...I'm not running into any kind of progression in gear. What am i missing? Should i be doing missions for duty and freedom and leveling their respective traders? or should i just high tail it to the ship trader and hope he sells some proper gear? When i say gear i mean repair kits and components and such.

[delicate wharf]

techs sell repair kits

you level them by giving them tools

its also cheaper to craft kits yourself though buying them from techs is convenient

[timid edge]

Ah, i see. I'm assuming that the better kits are in the north then?

[delicate wharf]

you find expert tools red forest+

[timid edge]

ah, shit, i keep forgetting about crafting.

[delicate wharf]

any tech will sell you advanced/exo repair kits if they are level 3

where they are doesn't matter

[timid edge]

good stuff Veggies!

[delicate wharf]

the biggest choice is essentially what you do with your first expert toolkit, keep it for crafting anywhere or give it to a specific tech to upgrade them fully

the 300iq move is to craft the stuff you want with it immediately such as upgraded nvgs, detector any kits you have mats for

and then give it to a tech

[timid edge]

Big Brain Gaming 😄

what does weapon Handling stat do?

[hushed dust]

Anyone have good fov setting advice

[scenic pulsar]

Is there a way to keep companions from cuddling you all the time?? I tried the "stay far" command but it doesn't seem to work. They are breathing down my neck at all times lol

[timid edge]

I do 75

[timid edge]

Only work around is command to wait.

[scenic pulsar]

I think it's a remnant from unmodded animaly, where your turning speed was a función of the weapon handling

[timid edge]

Think reload speed is a part of it?

[scenic pulsar]

Yeah but if you get a few meterse away they dont listen to you anymore

[timid edge]

Negative. You can be on the otherside of the map ans they will wait.

At least Hip does.

With her chinsy armor and gung ho attitude.

[scenic pulsar]

Hmm, I think I've ordered them to follow from far away and the didn't , but maybe it's because of the sprint speed, I'll test again, thanks

Ups, wrong quote lol

I didn't notice about the reload speed

[timid edge]

chances are they bugged out. Hip always bugs out and stays sitting and eventually follows after a time

happens too often for my liking.

[scenic pulsar]

I never upgrade it because I thought it only changed mouse speed (which it doesn't anymore)

[timid edge]

the letter J is suppose to spawn them to you and that hardly works as well.

J also spawns rescue mission targets onto you as well...

[scenic pulsar]

Yeah, I had that happen

[timid edge]

which seems to work more often than trying to get your follower to get their ass in line proper.

yep. your best bet is to have them wait when you know you'll be in a tight spot. It's second nature for me now.

[scenic pulsar]

I don't mind them doing their thing in combat, but they are annoying while exploring, they get too close

[timid edge]

it's funny watching Hip take on an army and then as soon as my head pops up for a peak they butcher me.

[hexed gale]

Is it alright to ask general modding questions here? I'm trying to make the M4 Tactical recoil like the AR15 Hera and having a hard time getting that to work

[smoky junco]

@willow hawk followed the instructions for debug not launching in #│🔧troubleshooting , confirmed debug is ticked in anomoly launcher, launch dx11 from mo2, debug still not working... what am i missing?

have the default keybind for F7

[warped ginkgo]

go to anomaly launcher through mo2

[north turret]

does anyone here play with aggressor, enhanced shaders, ssr, and those other add-ons disabled

[warped ginkgo]

tick debug mode, click 'LAUNCH ANOMALY', it wil probably close itself, then select DX11AVX in mo2 and launch

[smoky junco]

@warped ginkgo that worked. ty

[glossy zenith]

So im finding that theres some controls that are mapped to buttons but dont show up on the keybind menus

Ive been trying to figure out the NVG but figured they didnt work because I didnt have any but then I pressed M and it turned on my night vision. Also found that my extra mouse button is mapped to a zoom in feature but I have no idea how to change any of these keys after looking in settings for 20 minutes

I really want to map the NVGs to a better key but have no idea how. The original keybind menu doesnt work for the NVG

[warped ginkgo]

some keys are not in keybinds, instead they are binded inside a script

if you want to change the free zoom keybind, find "G.A.M.M.A. Keybinds fixes" in the mo2 list, open that folder, and search for free_zoom.script

also theres bas_nvg_scopes.script , first line it's binded to 'M', you can change that to the key you want

[glossy zenith]

Youre awesome thank you

[north turret]

?

[north turret]

I only use the weather from agressor

everything else is turned off?

could you upload your anomaly and mod organizer folder to mega or something so i can download it and play it

because i just cant get mine to work

Nah that's too big of a file

aghhhh

What's not working

okay

scroll through #old-bugs

its a lot

Turn glow sticks back on

Just disable the Glowsticks Enhanced Shaders add-on and then delete the shaders folder from GAMMA Glowsticks Patches add-on

if you say so ill try taht

[midnight void]

Is there any way to recharge a Artifact? I`m only finding 5% efficiency one in stashes

[warped ginkgo]

combine more of those

#│📚manual

[lilac meteor]

Can someone explain to me what retooling means?

No Idea what it does

[willow hawk]

That's what's written in #│🔧troubleshooting so I don't get it

[willow hawk]

Retooling ?

[north turret]

People mention retooling guns or magazine's

Or something like that

Im a bit confused too

[lilac meteor]

Yeah its an option that comes up with you right click guns and mags, plus people have been mentioning it.

[willow hawk]

That wording isn't in the game or it's a MagsRedux specific term

[lilac meteor]

I think its MagsRedux

[graceful iron]

it is mags redux

for mags only

some mags can be changed to a different ammo type

since their respective guns can get an ammo conversion

a retool requires a multitool

and i think the mag has to be empty (not sure about this)

[halcyon mulch]

Wow digging what I have played so far BUT certain graphics cause game to stutter.Its really bad when I get around a fire or anomalies.Yes they look great but if the fps stutters that doesnt help out in any way.Just wanna know what I can do to put graphics down to stock anomaly.So far I have clicked off aggressor mod,enhanced shaders color grading and 2 glossy surfaces SSR mods.Getr in game in its running thankfully but get near fires or anomalies and its still stutter city.

[graceful iron]

its not just graphics, its just anomaly events+ the amount of mods+old engine+ the graphics

[lilac meteor]

I only ever get stuttering when in the inventory

I blame mags redux

[graceful iron]

that is true for mags players

[lilac meteor]

Every time i load/unload a mag i feel like the game is going to crash

I might honestly redo my gameplay and skip the mags

[halcyon mulch]

I have anomaly setup pegged at 60fps though.

[lilac meteor]

What cat said is still true though

[halcyon mulch]

It happens just around fires and anomalies.They look graphically much better than my stock anomaly setup but when I go thru the GAMMA modlist I see nothing about fires and anomalies

[lilac meteor]

Hey @willow hawk, sorry for the ping, just wondering where the files are that add all of the medication. I want to fiddle with them to try and make it so that they have distinct roles. I've found the medication to be a bit convoluted with what does what.

[glossy trout]

I've heard there's a mod that lets you see your own character's body in 1st person. Is that something that's compatible with GAMMA?

[graceful iron]

see your own body in 1st person?

[lilac meteor]

Like look down and see your vest and boots?

[glossy trout]

Yeeah, like if you look down you don't just see nothing. You actually see your torso and legs

[graceful iron]

whats the mod called?

are you sure its for anomaly tho?

[glossy trout]

Welp, I was indeed mistaken. Seems like it's for another mod. They tried with Anomaly, but something about the engine it wouldn't take

[lilac meteor]

Anomaly uses the xray engine, isnt that the same as the other games?

[glossy trout]

Supposedly AREA does it somehow. I guess that's what I saw when I thought I was watching Anomaly lol

[graceful iron]

figured out as much

i have heard of it before

[glossy trout]

Sad, that would have been really cool

[graceful iron]

yea sure

[lilac meteor]

Just need to wait for Stalker 2

[glossy trout]

I've learned not to get my hopes up with any upcoming game lol

[lone raven]

Hey guys, ive gone through the troubleshooting thread and im still kind of stuck on this black screen issue

[north turret]

sacrifice your newborn to fix the black screen

[lilac meteor]

There was someone in #old-bugs that had a similar issue

[lone raven]

lol ill check it

[lilac meteor]

Its still the same devs, plus from what they've released it looks like its going to be good

They know how to tease anyway, first thing we found out about Stalker 2 was just a website with S.T.A.L.K.E.R written on it in big bold lettering with a soundtrack playing in the background

[willow hawk]

Disable CVFX

Cinematic VFX

That's the biggest FPS eater

[lone raven]

@lilac meteor Hey where was this other gentleman with the black screen issue in bugs roughly? I scrolled and scrolled but didnt find it. I have complete sound, can move and access inventory fine, and adjusting brightness didn't seem to work. I did the "cfg_load grading_warm" trick as well and had no luck 😦

[willow hawk]

Remove shader cache

[lone raven]

im familiar with that setting in the normal launcher but when activating from GAMMA it goes straight into DX11AVX and I never get the box to check/uncheck the removal of the shader cache

do you mean manually delete the contents of it within the game file?

[graceful iron]

mo2>choose anomaly launcher in the menu

[lone raven]

as opposed to the dvx11AVX launcher

i gotcha, thank you ill giv eit a shot

[graceful iron]

if that does not do it then i guess delete the shader cache folder

[lone raven]

roger dodger testing it now

there a preferred shadow map size, or i take it that would have no bearing on this

[graceful iron]

leave it as the default. not sure if it has any impact on this

[lone raven]

no clue which is default lol

[graceful iron]

also while in the anomaly launcher make sure you set your resolution to your screen's and screen type to borderless

[lone raven]

alright

[graceful iron]

i think its set to 2048 by default

[willow hawk]

The game works better in Fullscreen

[graceful iron]

oh?

[willow hawk]

Fullscreen no Vsync

That's how I squeeze 100+ frame rate

Without any stutter

[graceful iron]

i actually never tried full screen with gamma

always used borderless

vsync was always off

[lone raven]

well your advice worked, ive finally seen the game after about 3 hours lol

thank you very much for your help, both of you

eager to check out the game 🙂

[graceful iron]

have fun

[lone raven]

thanks, once again I truly do appreciate you helping some retarded middle aged dude make stalker work lol

[graceful iron]

oh and dont take wolf's rescue the courier mission

[lone raven]

cause a crash?

or just a pain in the ass

[graceful iron]

nope makes everyone in village want to kill you for some reason

[lone raven]

hahaha

appreciate the heads up

[tropic ridge]

That never happend to me

[graceful iron]

in gamma?

[willow hawk]

And be sure to disable Fullscreen optimisation from windows by right clicking DX11AVX exe

[graceful iron]

how does that affect it?

[tropic ridge]

yes

[graceful iron]

i think we need to do some testing with that mission then. maybe its a specific action that causes the village to go mad at you

[lilac meteor]

Toggle scopes seems to be bugged

[graceful iron]

i use it all the time, seems fine to me?

what is bugged

[lilac meteor]

Double tap does the same thing as single

If it doesnt cause busy hands that is

[graceful iron]

you have other optics in your inventory that would go on the gun?

[lilac meteor]

Oh, thats what it does

[graceful iron]

double tap should cycle through them

single tap removes or adds the same one

[lilac meteor]

How do we use the canted optics then?

[graceful iron]

v

grenade launcher button

[lilac meteor]

Oh rip

[graceful iron]

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

🙃

[lilac meteor]

My scar has a grenade launcher

[graceful iron]

it still can use all

it cycles through everything

[lilac meteor]

Yeah, its just a pain if you quickly need to cycle

[graceful iron]

what are you playing ? cod?

its stalker ffs

it takes milliseconds to cycle

[lilac meteor]

Switching to the grenade launcher and then back does take a few moments

It needs to complete an animation cycle

[willow hawk]

Don't use canted sights on grenade launcher guns and stop complaining ?

[graceful iron]

seems the courier quest does not break. maybe not always

could be a certain thing that makes it break

but i just tested it and works just fine

[vivid basin]

How do you enter freecam ?

[graceful iron]

with debug on press num 0

as for going back to normal cam i cant remember the button for that

[vivid basin]

I just do escape

Cause there's a stash

And I think it's at the top of the vine anomaly building in outskirts

Cause it's just not there on the ground

[graceful iron]

i have seen that one before, never found it and couldnt use debug for free cam as i was on an invictus

[vivid basin]

That sucks

i actually fucking managed the parkour

there is an actual appartment at the very top

bruh

[graceful iron]

holy jesus

[vivid basin]

who would think of this

[graceful iron]

he is the messiah

you are supposed to walk on the vines?

i kind of thought of that but was not risking that run for a single stash i already had an expert tools

[vivid basin]

it crashed

the game crashed

[graceful iron]

...

[vivid basin]

yeah you have to parkour the vines and shit

i saved right before completing the parkour i'm gucci

i ain't crazy enough not to save nuh uh

that shit better have some fucking expert tools tho

getting tired of the northern stashes having shitty loot

[graceful iron]

jupiter and zaton seem to have pretty bad loot compared to outskirts and pripyat or radar

[tropic ridge]

If you daddy saved it will crash

[graceful iron]

https://tenor.com/view/disappointed-face-palm-seriously-exasperated-gif-7304550

[graceful iron]

wait you did a shift+f5?

to save?

[vivid basin]

i disabled campfire save lol

[graceful iron]

yea figured out as much

[vivid basin]

the game crashed from my pc being a shitass and alt tabbing being bad

the appartment looks like it was an ecologist's hideout

it's pretty neat

[graceful iron]

you are playing on fullscreen?

[vivid basin]

yes

[graceful iron]

fullscreen is supposed to be better for fps but its worse for tabbing out

a lot worse

[vivid basin]

also i got a drug making kit (which i already had) and fine tuning body

so nothing i need

neato

[graceful iron]

[vivid basin]

and three scientific medkits that's pretty alright

[terse aspen]

There's an RPK and a load of ammo for it in there on Vanilla CoP, where RPK ammo is hard to come by.

[graceful iron]

so its kind of rewarding to do the parkour

[halcyon mulch]

Thanks that does help a bit when near fires 👍

[terse aspen]

The parkour isn't especially hard, you just have to be very careful of timing so as not to get hit by the green ball of gas or whatever it is. I assume it will hurt really bad, it does in vanilla CoP.

[graceful iron]

i think in anomaly it instantly kills you

at least burner comets do. not sure about the gas ones

[vivid basin]

insta kills yes

first hand experience

[graceful iron]

[lapis silo]

the electro ones too

[brittle kestrel]

am I supposed to not get map markers for "recover the tracking device" and find the "prototype detector" missions?

they seem a little.... improbable to complete without them

[proven thorn]

You definitely should be getting markers, do you have "Secondary tasks" turned off on the top bar?

[graceful iron]

in the pda

[brittle kestrel]

ah, so I did. I honestly forgot those filters existed at the top.

[tropic ridge]

Some markers in the new clear sky quest dont have markers

[north turret]

can you have other mods installed at the same time like the new escape from pripyat ?

[graceful iron]

those quests have broken english and bad placements for markers same with the artefact hunters

[graceful iron]

if you installed gamma correctly then you should be able to install other modpacks. both of them use portable instances for mo2

[north turret]

ill try it later thanks - gamma as different missions than E F P ?

[graceful iron]

gamma has some additional story quests

artefact hunters and a clear sky quest line

not sure if EFP adds any additional quests you will have to ask on their server

[tropic ridge]

What do pda 3.1 do over 2.0

[tidal raft]

Show neutral factions' positions.

[tropic ridge]

Ok ty

[severe seal]

hello, does anyone know where the heck the documents for the researcher questline are?

in Lab x19

the log says in the entrance not the rainbow emitter documents ive got them

[tidal raft]

It is extremely deceptive.
In reality you are supposed to go ||to the north-east section of Radar, the dead end.||

[graceful iron]

wow thats really stupid...

[tidal raft]

Ikr.

[graceful iron]

is there a guide for these quests somewhere?

[severe seal]

-.-

thank you

[tidal raft]

Асимметрично🌴 found a guide in russian.

[severe seal]

the brain scorcher quest was really really hard

[proven thorn]

Does anyone sell tier 3/4 night vision and the third PDA, or are you supposed to craft them

[tidal raft]

Craft.

In RC2 you won't be able to buy any upgraded PDAs or headlights/NVGs.

[graceful iron]

you can still buy them currently at high goodwill

most traders sell them

1500-2000

[proven thorn]

I'm maxed with loners and eco and haven't seen anything above tier 2 night vision

[delicate wharf]

traders in cordon will sell them for sure

[graceful iron]

on hardest difficulty the restock time is default to 72 hours

[delicate wharf]

those things are super expensive though

way cheaper to craft

[proven thorn]

I have it at 48 hours and I've been supply 5 with loners for a while now ingame, nothing. They sell everything else as far as I can tell

[graceful iron]

yes they are and its much better to craft them

[proven thorn]

Generic traders like Sid and Owl, right?

[graceful iron]

yes

do you have something like trader destockifier ?

addon

[proven thorn]

No, just GAMMA's economy

[graceful iron]

they should sell them then

[proven thorn]

I'll have to re-check

I can craft them, anyway

[desert robin]

The most recent update, does anyone know what exactly the effect this has is? Something about damage? Less damage to the player or what?

[graceful iron]

less damage to the player by ks23

it was broken

player resistances didnt affect the damage it did

[desert robin]

o

Is KS23 a pistol?

[graceful iron]

its a shotgun (artillery)

you never seen the ks in game?

[desert robin]

dont think so, no

[graceful iron]

well then you have not been shot at with it yet...

it can take your head off in one pallet

has 8 pallets i think

[willow hawk]

Nope

[delicate wharf]

Did you change it? Pretty sure I could buy pda 3 at max rep

[tidal raft]

Then prove it.

[tropic ridge]

I got pda2 as drop maybe u got pda3 as drop

[vale mantle]

hey chief, how in the world do i start Operation Monolith Retribution? Kuznetzov does not want to give any non-vanilla tasks. Playing as military.

[graceful iron]

i thought you didnt change it already

[proven thorn]

What's this "Observations and analysis of "Full Empty" artifact" document. A recipe?

[graceful iron]

psu

[proven thorn]

o

[graceful iron]

power supply for exoskeleton

[proven thorn]

Not very clear

[ripe ravine]

Hi, i have problems with the nigthvision, this not work

[graceful iron]

with special ability

[ripe ravine]

I turn on but nothing happens

[graceful iron]

holding n?

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[ripe ravine]

Yes, but not work

[graceful iron]

oh

save and then load

might crash your game

[ripe ravine]

I try to move the key to T but nothing

[graceful iron]

its a known bug

put it back to n and save/load

[ripe ravine]

Okey, i go try that

I'm running the game in DX8

[graceful iron]

oh wait

[tidal raft]

NVGs don't work in DX8.

[graceful iron]

thats beef's nvgs?

i think they do if he disables beef's nvgs? or no?

[tidal raft]

It will work if he disables Beef.

[graceful iron]

both of these i think

disable them

[graceful iron]

.

[ripe ravine]

Oh, okey

Ok, i disable twice and now work

[tidal raft]

You know you can just @ people, like this: @graceful iron

[tropic ridge]

How to change despawning corpses

[ripe ravine]

Thanks so much

[tidal raft]

Change how?

[graceful iron]

gameplay options

[tropic ridge]

Ty

[graceful iron]

amount of corpses and distance from them

before they despawn

[tropic ridge]

Yes tanks, I cleared all bandit base and almost all bodies were gone 😂

[graceful iron]

oh thank you i am so stupid how did i not know that @tidal raft i say in a very sarcastic tone

[tidal raft]

It's a waste of space to first type out instructions meant for someone and then reply with only a "."—when you can instead type out a full sentence and just add @(name) at the end.

[graceful iron]

i am sorry i just realize i didnt ping them after

i dont intend on doing that

[tidal raft]

There's nothing wrong with @'ing someone that you are actively chatting with.
Or you can add an @ by editing if you realise you missed it during a discussion and want to point out something you said toward someone: @graceful iron

[graceful iron]

[vale mantle]

literally nobody here knows whats the deal with Operation Monolith Retribution?

[graceful iron]

are there no requirements for it?

did you just start a run ? @vale mantle

nvm it should just work for military or ecologists, no requirements. i dont really know as i have not done it myself yet

try to refresh his quests by save/load if you havent

or skipping to the next day if you have debug mode

[vale mantle]

im on experienced rank

maybe after i do some drx quests or reach some monolith infested areas?

[graceful iron]

isnt this the start of that questline?

i am just guessing

[vale mantle]

how did you get that?

[graceful iron]

talked to him and asked for a special assignment

you didnt get that?

[vale mantle]

no. you are military?

[graceful iron]

yes

just started a new save as military and he gave me this quest as a "special assignment"

[delicate wharf]

Pretty sure all factions have that kind of get started quest right?

[graceful iron]

also he basically sends you in the dark, no marker or real info

[graceful iron]

no

only clear sky and military have "special assignments"

[delicate wharf]

If you start as loner sid asks you to visit for one to start the quest line

[graceful iron]

basically additional quest lines

[delicate wharf]

Same with mercs

[graceful iron]

those are the "get rich quests"

gives you a list of people to talk to and get quests from

[delicate wharf]

Those are all just different words for starting quest you get right away from someone next to your spawn lol

That's what I meant

Get rich isn't a quest line pretty sure. Just what the dialogue option is called

[graceful iron]

.

[graceful iron]

he wants the military docs you find in streloks stash for that mission i got. i will still check if its the right quest line or i am just an idiot who didnt play as military enough

[glacial shadow]

guys can someone help me figure out the clear sky scout mission?

I deliver the device to spore, he mentions the scout but I get no mission

I only got it the first time but reloaded because it was too dark and I'm a pussy, I waited till the morning, and did that again but no quest

[proven thorn]

It's time sensitive

[scenic umbra]

So in my infinite wisdom, I used the Knot and saved over my saves.. I know the description says there's no way to be rid of it, but maybe a console command?

[graceful iron]

not something we know of

[scenic umbra]

Well I better start hording artefacts to appease this thing then

[proven thorn]

I keep a save for every level, nearly

[scenic umbra]

Yeah I think I learned my lesson here lol

[glacial shadow]

I'm trying between 8:00 and 22:00 as he says but I still get no quest

And yes I know you have a time limit

[graceful iron]

so basically you have to take it at night and do it before morning

[glacial shadow]

but that's besides the point because I can't simply take the quest

[graceful iron]

but maybe now it just broke

[glacial shadow]

oh really?

[graceful iron]

did you try loading a save before?

[glacial shadow]

I don't wanna do it at night :(((

Lemme try

[graceful iron]

you have to

get a nvgs before you do it

or something

[glacial shadow]

it's ok I've played area, some surprise bloodsucking won't scare me

fuck it I'll start a new character

no way I'm waiting till night, it's 8 in the morning and I can't sleep

[graceful iron]

the northern road is the road west of the machine yard where the military spawn, one of the 2 campfires is going to have a dead body and thats your quest basically

mission gives no marker so most people ask about that

[glacial shadow]

Yes but it doesn't appear in my pda D:

[graceful iron]

the mission? i know what you mean i am just giving you this so you know where to look when you get the mission

[glacial shadow]

I mean what if you deliver the device during the day, you just miss out on he whole quest line because you can only get it at night?

it's weird

[glacial shadow]

Oh okay thanks

[proven thorn]

You wait until night

[glacial shadow]

ohh

ok I'll trust you and wait till night

if I shouldn't get it, I know your address :))

jk I don't

[proven thorn]

I think I got the quest somewhere after 21:00

[glacial shadow]

spore says between 8 and 22 so it's kinda misleading

it's not very clear

[proven thorn]

The translation is very bad

[lapis silo]

I kinda fucked off immediatly back to the bar after I handed in the scanner thing, does the quest still activate if I return to the swamps, say a few days later?

[rigid karma]

Hey I'm gonna try out hd mutants anyone know where I should put it in my load order?

[willow hawk]

Wherever you want

[rigid karma]

oh alright didn't know if it needed special attention. Can't wait to try it out

[terse aspen]

Anyone know who sells the BaS Lepold RMR kit, and at what supply level?

[graceful iron]

as a loner nimble sells it, not sure what supply level. i think its also sold by freedom, mercs and clear sky

[willow hawk]

Nimble

[graceful iron]

its a nato oriented optic, at least the scope

but nimble sells most optics and kits

if not all

[terse aspen]

Thanks. Trying to decided between the AUG A3 and the SG550, how long I'll be waiting to get a canted sight is worth considering I think.

[willow hawk]

If you disassemble a gun you get the kit pack I think ?

[graceful iron]

these scope kits can be removed

they are reversable

[lapis silo]

i got a message from spore while being in zaton, so yes it works

[lapis silo]

you get the gun back actually

[terse aspen]

I don't have one with a kit on to dissemble anyway. Tough choice, slightly better stats and canted sight vs opportunity to mount a grenade launcher.

[lapis silo]

Tough choice indeed, I opted for canted sights and honestly did not miss the greande launcher that much. it can be useful in some situations, but overall i used the canted sight a lot more, and you dont have to buy grenades

[graceful iron]

scar-h bas can have a grenade launcher and a canted sight

but the grenade launcher for it is pretty rare

not sure who sells it

[terse aspen]

Nice. I'll keep an eye out for one, may upgrade to it later.

[lapis silo]

Nice, thanks for telling

[terse aspen]

Oh wow, that kit costs 104925 from nimble, guess I'm fixing up the SG550 for now.

[graceful iron]

yea the scope kits in gamma do cost a bit

[deep veldt]

Is the blurry effect through scope part of reshade? is there an easy fix? I am using GAMMA reshade

[graceful iron]

i did multiple missions for the colonel "the special assignments" and then i got a message in the pda telling me to help with taking the cnpp. still got more of these missions i can take but seems doing the special assignments is what unlocks the monolith revenge mission

sorry took me a few hours to actually test this and make sure i was referring to the right mission

the assignments send you to each underground lab to retrieve the main docs they have there, the ones i did were agroprom underground(not sure whats the lab called)- lab x18- miracle machine- brain scorcher

also they give some very nice rewards like a skat-9 for completing the third lab mission

[thorny hazel]

it's a compromise of an addon called 2d shader based scopes. The inside of the scope is more zoomed than the outside, but it is a bit blurry. If you don't like it open the console and type scope_factor 1

[graceful iron]

not sure but i think its this one

pretty sure the blur is intended with the shader

[vale mantle]

thanks for help pal, i figured out that HD models were disableing the storyline

[graceful iron]

[vale mantle]

bullshit, huh? like what do they have to do with storylines?

[graceful iron]

idk

[thorny hazel]

they're not lore friendly i guess

[graceful iron]

one of the only puns that are funny

[vale mantle]

damn, standard models are ugly as shit

[graceful iron]

dick is in gamma

they are not vanilla ones

[vale mantle]

like, modders did improve them but even the best sculptors can do little when they have to work with shit

[graceful iron]

you dont have to play with vanilla models

bruh

am i talking to a wall

[vale mantle]

im talking bout changed

[graceful iron]

give dux's kit a chance if you have not

its not a bad model addon and you can still tell army from monolith while also having fine fps

[willow hawk]

The engine has issues with models with many vertices

[little igloo]

@willow hawk so I followed the steps for HD models (the ones you gave) but now some of the gun icons are the pixelated ones (low res vanilla)

do you know a fix?

or maybe a mod I should reinstall

[graceful iron]

[junior swallow]

This might be a stupid question.. The traders don't sell weapons or armor.. so.. how do I get good weapons and armor? I have a meh gun but.. I cant find any good armor?

[thorny hazel]

check the first post in #│📚manual

[junior swallow]

Also, anyone having trouble with NVG. I fixed this on my game last night. I disabled the main Beefs NVG in the modlist (176). Then Reinstalled the 177-Beefs_NVGs patches right below it in the mod list. When reinstalling I checked 3 boxes. "Beefs NVG, Arszi's radiation, and the "ES and SRR box". That fixed it for me.

For anyone wondering, I was holding "N" and hearing the NVG turn on sound effect, but nothing happened. The steps above fixed this.

@thorny hazel Yes, I've read them both. The majority of dead stalkers don't have armor in their inventory. Is this normal?

[thorny hazel]

weird, I think most stalkers should have an armor and helmet in inventory

[scenic umbra]

I only had an issue in my first in game day. After that armour and weapon drops (though ruined) are quite common

[junior swallow]

From time to time I find a ski-mask or a low tier gas mask. But harldy any armor. And if they do have armor its a leather jacket or something lol

[scenic umbra]

It's also rank dependant I think

[junior swallow]

Maybe thats it then. I'm about a week in, but still in low level areas.

[scenic umbra]

That'll be a reason

Also check stashes. I was lucky enough to find a broken Voyager Loner suit. Fixed it up now and I can now take a beating

[junior swallow]

I just made it to Yantar, hoping for find some good armor. Mine has been completely broken for several days. As is life in the zone.

[thorny hazel]

Yantar isn't ideal I'd say, there's only ecologists and mutants. Try army warehouses after a shootout between freedom and duty

[junior swallow]

Are stashes ranked by color or zone? I heard somewhere that purple stashes are good. All my stash locations show up white.

[scenic umbra]

There's an overhaul installed for Stashes made by Grok. All I've seen so far are white and green stashes. I found my suit (among other rare items) in green stashes

[junior swallow]

@thorny hazel Thank you sir. After work, I'm on my way there! lol

Okay cool, I knew a lot of his mods changed the UI and display of things so regular "guides" don't help a ton haha

[scenic umbra]

If you ever get too confused just look for a mod in Mo2 that alters it and google the mod and read the page 😉

[junior swallow]

Oh I've only done that about 20 times already lol

Partly how I fixed the NVG issue

Thank you both, you've been very helpful!

[scenic umbra]

All good my guy

[warped ginkgo]

They modify character_desc_x.xml
Which contains information about important NPCs (dialogue/visuales/voices/faction)

[graceful iron]

progressive outfits, also a mod that makes outfits have a chance of dropping. there is a config for it in mcm(skill addon has a scav skill that increases these chances and other loot chances on stalkers )

being a higher rank means you will have a chance of getting better outfits on dead stalkers

stashes have better loot value the further north you go, getting tool kits, outfits and guns in them is important as you need to craft and repair a lot and you cant buy guns and outfits. basic tools spawn anywhere south of AW, advanced tool kits spawn anywhere next to red forest and sometimes a bit further north while expert kits spawn in the more dangerous or northern areas like radar, outskirts, pripyat and cnpp

stashes that are not marked on the map will almost always have nothing in them other than the little ammo or medical item added by zcp. green stashes have better chances at giving tool kits or higher tier items

items that spawn in the world respawn after a set amount of time and will have some useful items like ammo or junk as crafting materials or armor parts

dont mind the essay. if you found it useful then cool, if you dont care then just dont

[nimble axle]

hmm. just updated stalker and on loading my save screen is black? can see UI elements, but rest is black

[graceful iron]

also try deleting shader cache if this does not work

[willow hawk]

There are two progression systems.

One is tied to your rank and will drop better armors after few days. That prevent RNG blessings giving you skat 9 armors early.

Then there's a system that makes the better and heavier armors having a chance to be converted to parts instead of actual armors.

That prevents easy endgame by finding nosorogs easily

[willow hawk]

By both

The more to the north you are, the better the stashes content

And green contains almost 2 times the loot of white stashes

And have a chances for better loot

[graceful iron]

[blissful tree]

Well said having a chance, it's not always.

[noble edge]

I feel bad for asking and I’m quite a noob but I just downloaded GAMMA and I can navigate the menus just fine and set up my loadout just fine in the menus but the moment I press play I get a black screen and after about 3 minutes or so I can hear sounds in the zone but I can’t see the zone? Does anyone know of a resolution?

[charred rivet]

Ah yes that is why i can't even buy a pm pistol after just starting.

[graceful iron]

are you playing on fullscreen or borderless and the correct resolution for your screen? try the troubleshooting steps for blackscreen #│🔧troubleshooting

and try deleting shader cache

[noble edge]

thank you

so much

[graceful iron]

tell me if any of that fixes it

[noble edge]

I’m playing on borderless just to lyk

[graceful iron]

if you really hate gamma economy just disable it ffs stop crying like a child

[pastel shoal]

is there any way to make enemies not see trough vegetation ? it's like fighting guys with wallhacks

really annoying

[graceful iron]

thats just anomaly stuff but there is a mod in optionals to "try" and fix that

nvm its in disabled

tick this one

[blissful tree]

It does fix it, they stop shooting through bushes.

[graceful iron]

its not perfect

npcs will use a bush as cover

among other stuff

[blissful tree]

That's in my favor .

[graceful iron]

well you can play with it but its not intended

[pastel shoal]

will try that one then

thanks!

[desert robin]

Should any of these be re-activated? THAP Rework re-downloaded, but its in Disabled...

[charred rivet]

I don't it was just something i noticed.

[graceful iron]

.

[graceful iron]

when did you update?

[desert robin]

just now

[graceful iron]

and did a gamma data update before?

[desert robin]

Yep

[graceful iron]

are you sure there isnt another version of it

in visuals

[desert robin]

Ah, got it. Cheers for that. Sorry, bit new to it..

👌

[graceful iron]

nah its fine

[noble edge]

I deleted my shader cache and adjusted the resolution I still got a black screen and a few crashes I’m just gonna do a reinstall and see how that goes wish me luck and thank you for the help but I feel like I might’ve butchered the download somehow I just want to hop in the mod pack though already I’m so excited :0 @graceful iron

[graceful iron]

wait

the game runs fine other than the black screen so what you will probably have to do now is go to your gamma folder >delete the "mods" folder>open the installer> click update gamma data> after thats done click complete gamma installation @noble edge

if you messed any install the game would not have even worked

[desert robin]

Any way to force weather types via console or similar?

[graceful iron]

debug

not sure if console can do that

weather editor in the debug menu

[deep veldt]

Can someone recommend a way for me to rebind zoom view? I would like to rebind to mouse button 3

[deep veldt]

Awesome! thank you!

I will try opening in explorer

[graceful iron]

open it in explorer

and find the freezoom config

[deep veldt]

Thank you!

[graceful iron]

apparently 341 means mouse 4

[deep veldt]

lol yeah

[graceful iron]

so you will have to figure out whats mouse 3

[deep veldt]

that has me stumped, if 341 is mouse 4 then what the heck is mouse 3

[graceful iron]

i think you can google it

if we follow normal maths logic we would say its 340

but i doubt coding follows that

or whatever determines those keybinds

[deep veldt]

Yeah I could just try something like that and test it. If it works it works

[graceful iron]

good luck

[deep veldt]

Thanks, I'm gunna' need it. Thank you again for your help!

For anyone else that would like the mouse button key codes I found some here,

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

[willow hawk]

It's bad

[graceful iron]

...

bruh read the context

grok was in so much hurry he didnt realize that was not an addon suggestion in that specific channel

[north turret]

@willow hawk I have a several queastion

How the fuck

[delicate wharf]

a lot of the time your fps isn't bad because of graphics stuff but your cpu having to do a bunch of checks and run a bunch of scripts per frame

[willow hawk]

Oh shit yes haha

[willow hawk]

Many checks are run each frame that's why

It needs to be confirmed though

[north turret]

Thanks mate

[deep veldt]

I wanted to give credit and show my source.

At this point I have not added any mods beyond GAMMA build. With Mags enabled.

[terse aspen]

Does the type of tool (grooming kit/swiss knife/multitool) make any difference the components you get?

[lapis silo]

afaik no, but they are used for diff things

multitool for weapons, knife outfits and grooming junk and possibly outfits?

[terse aspen]

Thanks. Grooming kits works on outfits yeah, makes the knife a little redundant other than to use in crafting recipes.

[brisk zinc]

I don't see the problem, it's perfect when they aggro someone or when you need to rescue them again because they're going to die

[brisk zinc]

It will be removed in RC2, for now just spam it

[timid edge]

Why is it removed? It is essential! There's too many times where i needed to use it because the game just doesn't want to work the pathfinding properly.

If anything, it needs to be made better.

[brisk zinc]

Old message

Grok will add something else

[timid edge]

scared me there 😄

[brisk zinc]

#old-bugs message

3 days ago he said this

It is one essential mod, I agree with you

[timid edge]

well his removal message is newer than the one he posted about adding the teleport. so one could assume he is ready to remove it

seriously though, it is one little element that hardly get's a chance for abuse.

ugh...

[brisk zinc]

@willow hawk are you still sure about removing Companions Teleport?
I agree with Whiskey here, it's one of the few mod that you can't abuse or anything like that, it's really useful

@timid edge at the end of the day we could always bring it back for our personal mod list

[outer mist]

I second this... the amount of times my companion just sits there stuck in a doorway and does nothing for 10mins is crazy... and being able to teleport her to me is basically a requirement for me

[halcyon mulch]

Maybe make it an auto teleport if they get too far behind? Feels gamey to instant teleport NGL. Skyrim mod has a nice way to do it where they get stuck and auto teleport and always behind you so you dont notice them teleporting.

[tidal raft]

Next on the #📎to-do :
Remove companions
(jk)

[brisk zinc]

There is something like that, maybe it's to be added

But still, it's essential since it's an old game with an old engine that bugs out whenever he wants, not reality, I understand immersion and all but there is a limit
And since companions are dumb and we can't do anything about it, that add-on is good enough

[timid edge]

How do i operate an exo suit? I installed power supply but it says it's at zero power level. Do i charge the power supply somehow? Didnt show a power level on the supply.

[brisk zinc]

You need batteries

[timid edge]

i installed it and it still says zero power, what am i missing?

[brisk zinc]

Are you sure? Let me open the game real quick

[outer mist]

Does anyone know how damage is calculated with Gamma? like from a scripting point of view

[timid edge]

Details says there is a psu installed

[soft leaf]

you have to put batteries in it

[brisk zinc]

@timid edge
You have one of this two, right?

[brisk zinc]

Already said that

[soft leaf]

mb

[brisk zinc]

np

[timid edge]

well i must be missing something or it's bugged because i installed it and it says ZERO power

[brisk zinc]

@timid edge
You need this, they're batteries

[brisk zinc]

Again, batteries

If you already did, then yes, maybe it's bugged

[outer mist]

What i'm wondering if anyone knows the answer is, is damage calculated based upon your armor individually? so for instance if my armor has 25% Ballistic res and my helm has 40% and i get shot in the chest, does my helm do anything or is it calculated location based? How do other damage types work? chemical/radiation/heat ect

[brisk zinc]

I think it's all combined, so for instance if your armor it's 25% and your helm is 40%, it takes both of them, so you have 65% in ballistic

Same goes for chemical, for example, armor 20% and helm 20% = 40%

I could be wrong, consider that

I've read something about this yesterday I think, don't remember where though

[outer mist]

yeah, that's definitely how it works on the stats page below your equipment, and that's how i thought it worked, but someone told me a few days ago that it's all location based except for radiation... but it's really hard to evaluate armors to wear without knowing how it works

[timid edge]

it's a combination because i noticed i was getting owned with just the suit on then i popped a helm on and could take quite a lot more damage. Because of this, and the additional suits and helmets available, you can get better stats from a suit and helm than you can with the vanilla stuff.

SOME of the stuff, not all of it

okay. so one cannot recharge an exo battery i assume?

[delicate wharf]

I think its separate but some stuff like plates and artis are global? There are different body hitboxes and damages so it would be weird for a helmet to apply globally idk

[brisk zinc]

@timid edge I've send you a pic...

[brisk zinc]

.

[timid edge]

ffs...

[brisk zinc]

I even said like three times you need batteries...

And (IIRC) no, you can't craft them

You need to farm them with Monolith

"You'll just need to farm monolith exos to get special exo batteries crafting recipes."

No okay I think you can

"crafting recipes"

[delicate wharf]

are the batteries purchasable? can't remember if I saw them on traders or not

[brisk zinc]

Good question

[timid edge]

in Yantar, at the Bonfire Anomaly, there is an artifact that is spawned underground, i presume, anything i can do to get it?

maybe wait for a blowout and hope for respawn i guess...

[brisk zinc]

Are you sure it's actually underground?

If it is there, I think you can take it with debug mode, with "free look", go there and spam F if you see it, you should be able to take it

[timid edge]

dont see any free look option in debug

[brisk zinc]

No it's a button

0

On the numpad

Sorry

Alternatively, you can always spawn all the artefacts until you find the right one

[timid edge]

that wasn't the button. there is no option labeled anything that has to do with "no clipping."

[brisk zinc]

I'm sure 100% it's 0, I've tried it now and it work

Are you sure you are in debug mode?

[timid edge]

no go on that. Listed as a reload system ini.

what was the console command for no clipping, anyone remember? It usually is the same across multiple games

[brisk zinc]

demo_record 1

Try this

[timid edge]

found free look in the console. doesnt seem to do anything

[brisk zinc]

@timid edge

[timid edge]

demo record worked to no clip but there wasn't an option to pick the thing up. Sucks...

[brisk zinc]

Yeah you don't have the prompt

But maybe you can pick it up

It worked for me (I'll try again just to be sure)

[timid edge]

what is working for you? the ability to fly around and clip through everything?

[brisk zinc]

I have the prompt

So one thing works

I can pick it up

[brisk zinc]

They both work, with 0 on numpad or demo_record

@delicate wharf Skinflint (Freedom) sells those batteries

[timid edge]

you must have a different version or something. Demo record for me just makes me a camera that can float around. like an out of body scenario. I cant interact with anything. You keep saying numpad zero, which is labeled a system reboot in my debug listing. demo record isnt even listed in my debug.

[desert robin]

How is this possible? #old-framerate-optimisation message (Disabling additional stories can increase framerate) Is it poorly optimized or is there some script spam or what

[brisk zinc]

Whiskey I'm on the last version, both 0 on the numpad AND demo_record 1 do the same exact thing, "a camera that can float around", because that's what it do

This is noclip in Stalker games

I can take the artifact just fine

[warped ginkgo]

At least i know that in the last dawn storyline It spawns Squad of clear sky/ military to combat each other

No idea if It created more npc squads

[brisk zinc]

You need to type demo_record 1 in your command console

You even asked for it

They're the same thing

If it isn't working, you have problems with your keybinds, that's the only reason I can think of, since I'm on the last version updated, all on default, even keybinds

[desert robin]

Has anyone ever seen a blowout or psy storm kill a stalker? Any human NPC?

[brisk zinc]

I think there is some add-on that prevents that

[desert robin]

What is the point? (Of emissions)

[brisk zinc]

Artefacts?

I think it's for important NPCs, so they can't die

Maybe it's for companions too

[timid edge]

Npc die from emissions. Followers dont because pathfinding is....lacking.

@brisk zinc i cant believe you can interact with objects when youre in demo mode...

[desert robin]

There appears to be a way to flag certain npcs to be immune. I wonder why this hasnt been done? This mod mentions there is some npcs in it that have been made immune.
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/npc-die-in-emissions-for-real

[brisk zinc]

I'm not following you

Did you make it or not?

Because you can interact with objects (as in take them)

[timid edge]

you must have missed my previous message. When in DEMO it just makes me a ghost. There is an onscreen option to interact but none of the buttons work because i'm just a camera floating around. I'm not the actual character.

i am apparently not playing the same version as you.

[brisk zinc]

Yes, it's normal that you are a "ghost", it's like noclip but your character don't move, it's a known thing in Stalker games

The strange thing is that I can take stuff and you can't

I've tried several times with multiple combinations and it works every time

[halcyon mulch]

@brisk zinc that's 👍

[edgy venture]

would it be normal for some reason for gamma to corrupt a bunch of anomalies files?

okay normal is the wrong word for it sorry.

[warped ginkgo]

did you click 'verify install' on the launcher?

[timid edge]

I cant even find the artifact that resembles the one that i seen underground...

[edgy venture]

yes sir, thats how i got the error message

[timid edge]

Probably just a Sun.

[warped ginkgo]

well, it will always throw an error

you are playing a modpack

it tries to find the vanilla bin files, and it throws 'corrupt files' because those files are being modified by addons of gamma

just select dx11avx or the DX that you use and click on 'launch' on mo2

[edgy venture]

okay, i didnt know thats how it saw it. I had some game ruining issues and was just trouble shooting one way or another

[warped ginkgo]

if you have bugs or questions ,just post in #old-bugs #🔨base-gamma-support

someone will answer

👍

[edgy venture]

roger that ive been playing for a while. Thanks you much Cheers

[brisk zinc]

@timid edge at this point spawn every artefacts till you find the one you need

[noble edge]

I’m reading all of these messages to soak up all the info i can on playing gamma so that way after work im all locked and loaded im reading through all of this and I’m just thinking this is a awesome community you guys have here and I appreciate it quite a lot (this is one of the first game communities ive been apart that’s extremely dedicated so thank you once again

I know that’s not a question but I had to state it

Peace im gonna go break my back now 😄

[stoic harbor]

What's a good way to get the dual scopes? Like the canted ones?

Specifically a leupuld rmr for the aug

[crisp quartz]

you take a sleeping pill?

just pop a sleeping pill and you can sleep whenever

[halcyon mulch]

I like the no sleeping unless tired mod but dam when your at super low health and dying and mod says nope....your not tired

Be nice 8f it allowed sleep when below 50% health

[brittle kestrel]

I wouldn't mind it so much if there was an option to like spend vodka to wait around a campfire or something

kinda hate having to pay out for sleeping pills during the night in the early game before I get NV

[north turret]

uhmm... carry more meds?

actually, carry some military meds and stimpaks

those are bloody good

[willow hawk]

One issue is teleporting targets of rescue mission.... I need to see how to prevent that

[halcyon mulch]

Point was if your near death it's weird to not be able to sleep.Dam it my legs are broken and I cant see shit from blur but that dam STALKER energy drink won't let me sleep again!!

But yeah carry around a full drug kit is good advice

[willow hawk]

Just press enter to teleport your character to your current demo position

[north turret]

well either that or disable the mod

or don't get hit as much at utilise the leaning function

[willow hawk]

Go see a doctor or drink vodka / eat sleeping pills

[north turret]

or sleeping pills yeah

always have some of those on you

[halcyon mulch]

Git gud? 👍

Lol

[north turret]

eat sleeping pills? 👍

[willow hawk]

After any raid you should come back with some vodka or some sleeping pills at least

[north turret]

always have some of those on you they weigh nothing , there's no point in not having them in the first place

[halcyon mulch]

Ok I suck and got wrecked to near death 2 minutes into starting character

[north turret]

carrying yadulin or akvatabs

they heal a lot

[halcyon mulch]

😋

I had a can of tuna...that 💪 ricks

[north turret]

tuna is nice

[halcyon mulch]

But yeah advice taken....think like a stalker BOI GIt GUD!!

Tuna nice with meds

Stalker staple

[north turret]

No , gamma is like that

anomaly not so much

[halcyon mulch]

It's OK I enjoyed dead air so...

[north turret]

it's meant to be more difficult and survival oriented

[halcyon mulch]

Yeah I enjoy that

[north turret]

ye

[halcyon mulch]

Just road blocks irk me....dead air air tanks was one

Can't proceed further till you purchase air tanks to breathe....and I git stuck with no missions to make money

[north turret]

limited missions?

[halcyon mulch]

No I was fine and then I couldn't enter wild territory as I needed air tanks

I felt defeated and never pushed on sadly as I found anomaly same day😋

[north turret]

if dead air has limited missions that seems like a , interesting design decision

[halcyon mulch]

Limited missions can result in giving up if you need a huge chunk of money though

Your just standing there wondering how to make 💰

Dead air for me was pure torture lol....way harder than Gamma so far

I read today even devs knew they made it too harsh

[broken pendant]

is this normal with low tier nvgs?

[graceful iron]

yes

all nvgs do that

[broken pendant]

oh i thought this is bugged
