Launch the game from that launcher

Make sure you have something in the bottom left of your screen in the main menu

Close the game

Launch it from your preferred DX

Press F7 in game

Enjoy

[mellow canopy]

ok great thanks !

[late silo]

I'd like the character to be able to sleep, so he can spend the night soon. some mods allow this. In which menu do I modify this?

[desert robin]

If you opt not to start with an axe, there seems to be no way to ever come across one again.. is this the case

[willow hawk]

You can buy them?

[desert robin]

Where? Ive never seen one in any shop ever?

[willow hawk]

check gamma economy trader files ?

[scenic pulsar]

You can use sleep pills if you want to keep it immersive

[timid edge]

In lab x-19 at the switch, there is an artifact on my detector. Is it in that silo thing, does anybody know?

[willow hawk]

Drink vodka / eat sleeping pills

[timid edge]

eventually at right trader level and/or at specific traders. i see them.

[flat iron]

yeah, I think at max rep Petrenko sells one

[willow hawk]

Don't know :(

[flat iron]

also, is there a trick to finding expert tools or am I just an unlucky bastard

[willow hawk]

You can try pressing numpad0 and check around

[willow hawk]

North stashes

It's just tier 5

So it's rare

Try outskirts

[flat iron]

ah okay, I think I got unlucky last time I went up to check stashes up there

[willow hawk]

Jupiter etc can still spawn tier 4 items

[flat iron]

I have a lot in Pripyat to search though

[willow hawk]

Ah do that

You should find it

[flat iron]

I want my quad nods

[willow hawk]

It's dangerous going there but it's worth it

That's the gamble GAMMA forces you to make

And soon enough, death will cost some money

[gritty oar]

you see my edit i made to thap Grok? i got the extended armors to work with thap

[willow hawk]

But I have other priorities

[willow hawk]

More armors ? Oh gosh no

[gritty oar]

yeah for the player

[willow hawk]

Main issue is that you need to edit NPCs death outfit ltx

Good luck doing it for 3000 models since GAMMA uses DICK

I already did it, I won't do it a second time

[gritty oar]

lol yeah i think the armor is only for the player though

[willow hawk]

Doesn't matter

You get armors from NPCs

And that's that single file that dictates it

[gritty oar]

i debugged the armor in which suprised actually worked

[halcyon mulch]

Ok Falco I just deleted the downloads folder and now just press the update GAMMA?

NM I just deleted GAMMA

Fresh start 🙂

[warm cradle]

how do I get up to the attic in this house in rookie village

[halcyon mulch]

Wowo never seen that!?

try jumping from a tree limb?

[warm cradle]

okay I figured it out

and I got to the stash

and thank the fucking lord for a gunsmithing kit

[warped ginkgo]

i think you cant

[desert robin]

Any other armors that are good and free like the CS one? And how do you get them

[warm cradle]

jump onto the log pile on the side

and jump onto the roof

and on the right theres a opening in the roof you can lowcrouch through

[desert robin]

What is igi task framework? does it do anything?

[gritty oar]

idk what artefact i need for the "steamer" anomaly? for the eco in army warehouses

[untold willow]

whenever i press B to lower/raise my weapon i hear the NVG activation sound as well... any idea why?

[warm cradle]

I upgraded my Sig Sauer P220 with the Kit "9"

says the mag size is 19 but I'm still stuck at 7 rounds per mag

nvm I fixed it by switching ammo

weird

[wise sparrow]

this is the default bind for NVG scopes in boomsticks and sharpsticks. it should be M in gamma so no idea why you are getting that

[icy oyster]

I don't understand, when I unload magazines where it's specified it's loaded with old ammo. It gives me new ammo.
I play with default settings in anything related to ammo and magazines (And "don't spawn old ammo" is unchecked)

Also I don't cross any old ammo in the field

Is it intended?

[hollow apex]

yes

[lilac meteor]

Where do we get the gamma weapons pack?

I updated the launcher but cant seem to find it

[half bough]

the quest marker is incorrect, you need to go to go further south to the anomaly zone in the bloodsucker village

[vocal abyss]

why do my settings reset every time I update the pack?

[lapis silo]

rename "Gamma MCM values" in your load order

that will save you MCM Settings between updates, as the modpack has its own default MCM values

[vocal abyss]

ok,got it. Thanks a bunch!

[hollow apex]

the NVG is not usable in DX8 right? is there a workaround about this, one of my dudes uses a potato PC to play and complains about this issue.

[hexed hedge]

I have a pesky Red X next to my "28-T.H.A.P._Rework_2.0.1" mod that I can't get rid of. Tried all the usual things (re-running the installer and manually downloading) but it's still there. Any ideas?

[weary sable]

Whats the name of the mod above, nr 27?

[hexed hedge]

T.H.A.P._REV_ANOMALY_EDITION

[willow hawk]

Right click : reinstall mod

[mellow leaf]

how can I best change the music playlist, there's some heavy combative music going on right now, i'm just chilling at the cs base man xD

[hexed hedge]

Got this message:

And then this one when I clicked OK

[willow hawk]

That's just weird there's a red cross

[hexed hedge]

I Ignore'd it and re-installed, but Red X is still there.

Gameplay seems fine, though. Hasn't crashed yet.

[willow hawk]

Can you send me your GAMMA RC1/.Grok's Modpack Installer/GAMMA/modpack_data/modpack_maker_list.txt ?

[hexed hedge]

Sure np

[willow hawk]

https://www.moddb.com/addons/start/217507 T.H.A.P. Rework 2.0.1/T.H.A.P. Rework 2.0:T.H.A.P. Rework 2.0.1/T.H.A.P. Rework 2.0 Ecologists alternative hands huds (optional) 0 THAP Rework

Hum that seems fine to me....

Can you download the addon again, manually, and put it into GAMMA RC1/downloads ?

Click the link above

[hexed hedge]

okay, will do. Will report back in an hour or so, have to afk.

[hexed hedge]

Just finished. Same thing happened.

[willow hawk]

Just do a manual install

[willow hawk]

Here, drag THAP REWORK 2.0 gamedata and put it under <anomaly>

[desert robin]

After updating was expecting i'd never hear harmonica again but still do?

[graceful iron]

it does not work yet, the no harmonica fix

[sour urchin]

so tweaked/reinstalled some files to get the double UI BHS fixed among other things, silly me i should kept GAMMA profile intact as a backup and made secondary profile for tweaking stuff in MO2, anyone got any ideas for a fresh install of Gammas mods (the profile i mean, the mods are still on my SSD)

guess i just need a "vanilla" gamma profile for m02

[graceful iron]

all you need is a complete install if you only changed mods in the mo2 modlist

just delete "mods" folder>update gamma data>complete installation

[sour urchin]

alright, thanks

[graceful iron]

grok, 16:10 resolutions are still broken with some UI?

[sour urchin]

you familiar with WPO by any chance?

[graceful iron]

yes?

[lapis silo]

Hey cat, did you fix the issue with PBA not showing up in MO2? After updating this morning it works for me 🙂 I have PBA 16now

[sour urchin]

there a EZ mode so to speak/guide to WPO since uh, playing a game of Simon Says with hotkeys in combat is....interesting i guess

i know double tapping the "use" key clears jams and then theres options for super jams etc

[graceful iron]

i think grok already fixed it or moddb finally uploaded it correctly but yes, yesterday i updated again and it was installed correctly

[lapis silo]

Great stuff

[lapis silo]

with super jams you have to reload. So if weapon jams -> unjam (Key Y) -> if still jammed -> reload

[graceful iron]

what? sorry i kind of couldnt find the question

super jams are disabled by default

[sour urchin]

well is there options to simply rebind keys to already bound ones e.g. jammed=mash shoot key to auto clear, or disable parts of the mod

and what is the fun level function exactly>

[graceful iron]

i think it changes profanity ?

[lapis silo]

Yes

[graceful iron]

it has to do with a meme i believe

[lapis silo]

Good meme though

[sour urchin]

oh that..might explain that one time then

so freedom is bob marley, whats duty vs loner

or some STRAIGHT JAAMMMMMIN

[lapis silo]

you can rebind the keys, but not like that. YOu can rebind to all keyboard keys, and you can add modifiers, for example holding alt or shift, long press or double press

[weary sable]

Is green the highest tier of stash?

[graceful iron]

yes

[sour urchin]

oh combo keys are enable by default with this modpack and not just for certain mod features?

[lapis silo]

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

that all default keybinds

[graceful iron]

unjam key checks if your gun is jammed if its not. it still does a full animation so this wont work

[graceful iron]

most keybinds you can change either in game settings or mcm

[sour urchin]

yea i know just..lots of keybinds and finding a home for all is interesting

plus muscle memory from other shooters complicates things

[graceful iron]

you will get used to them. just make sure the important combat stuff is somewhere easily accessed

[graceful iron]

thats normal i guess, just play anomaly for a while and you will get used to them

[tidal raft]

Not necessarily the 'highest' tier, but green stashes contain a guaranteed tool kit appropriate for the region.

[graceful iron]

but without context they are still the "highest tier"

[tidal raft]

Well, context is very important for this topic.

[graceful iron]

its just white and green stashes. green stashes not only get more tool kits but also more loot in general

[weary sable]

There are only white and green I assume. And so far the green one has had much better loot then the whites one, just like purple vs white in vanilla Anomaly.

[graceful iron]

is this context enough?

[tidal raft]

There are white stashes that contain great weapons or outfits. I haven't noticed personally that green stashes are generally better, aside from the toolkit.

[graceful iron]

green stashes have higher max value but since they are rare you dont see much improvement in them over the white ones unless you get lucky

[tidal raft]

I'm quite certain it is completely random and players experience the green stashes as better from getting a guaranteed toolkit.

[graceful iron]

i took all that from the manual, i am not making things up

but i have had really bad green stashes

thats why they are higher in value but not always noticeable as better

[weary sable]

My greens have been much better then the white ones, no doubt. But I've been unlucky with toolkits. Took a while to get the Basic and now its all I'm getting. Think I have three in my stash.

[graceful iron]

you can use them to craft an advanced if you dont find one

5 basic

also you will need to go north for better ones

[weary sable]

But I'm still running round no further north then Army Warehouse and I have 5 or 6 green stashes further north, but I'm not geared enough for that yet.

[graceful iron]

advanced only spawn in the area around army warehouses. anything further north than cordon

[tidal raft]

Some would say that this is a very good white stash.
#╟❓general-offtopic message

[weary sable]

I suspected that, cheers.

[graceful iron]

take a look at the #│📚manual part for stashes

[tidal raft]

advanced Expert

[graceful iron]

if you have not

[weary sable]

It is and I've gotten a few of those. But food and ammo I got plenty. I need toolkits and armour.

In vanilla Anomaly I could lower my PDA with the grenade launcher key but not in GAMMA. Doesn't seem to be a key conflict as far as I can tell.

[graceful iron]

just press the pda key again?

[mortal flame]

i remember once i found adv toolkit in agroprom

[willow hawk]

Press R

[weary sable]

Then it just goes away.

[graceful iron]

oh lower it?

sorry i forgot you can even do that

[graceful iron]

wait let me fix that, i messed that up

[weary sable]

Brilliant, cheers.

[weary sable]

Its great when you are looking for stashes in odd places (I never use the minimap - unless I'm really stuck and confused).

[graceful iron]

yes i see that, i used to use it sometimes but then i completely forgot the keybind for it

its v in anomaly ?

[weary sable]

if i remember correctly, yes

[graceful iron]

[weary sable]

So many keybinds, so few fingers...

[graceful iron]

never thought that would be a reality at some point

those keyboard lessons would have been great if i took them seriously

[weary sable]

Speaking of stashes: just found a handgun repair kit out in the open (not in a stash).

With 3 uses on it.

[graceful iron]

check the mcm for zcp

loot

there should be a toggle for repair kits

its usually disabled by default in gamma

if it is disabled then maybe you just got really lucky with a vanilla spawn

[weary sable]

Mine was off.

Havent touch many of the settings, want to try the default GAMMA my first playthrough.

[graceful iron]

its possible but really rare to find them and even tool kits in open world spawns

and grok made sure they are rarer

[weary sable]

Well it sure was handy, got a pistol I was planing on repairing.

And now I looted a drug making kit from a green stash, I might just go out an by a lottery ticket later today...

[graceful iron]

[mortal flame]

go to aslan lottery with 30 monolith patches, you might instantly get expert toolkit

[willow hawk]

Thanks I need to nerf that

[mighty condor]

Grok give and grok take away

[willow hawk]

[hexed hedge]

boom! that did the trick, thanks!

[hollow apex]

the reloading sound of Mosin-Nagant is off, sounds like SKS

[weary sable]

Just saw a Freedom loot one of my kills (a Bandit). Shouldn't it work both ways? I traded with him and he had all the Bandits gear on him so he did pick it up.

[proven thorn]

Both ways? You can totally loot any bodies NPCs make

[graceful iron]

loot claim ?

do you have it on?

[weary sable]

I do. I've been stopped from looting others kill the entire game.

[graceful iron]

i think its not both ways

not sure

[icy oyster]

Then you have to warn him, then kill him

[weary sable]

Then am I allowed to kill him (and get away with it?) 😉

[graceful iron]

if you have stealth kills

[weary sable]

Depends on your mods/settings.

[graceful iron]

and do it right, i guess

[weary sable]

Meh, not worth it. But he made my list!

Maybe its the Corpse Loot Distance settings? I was sniping him,

[heady blade]

Got punched by a clear sky dude and he took my remington

Is it fair i put an ied in front of him?

[graceful iron]

that cant happen in gamma

you dont drop your gun when damaged

[heady blade]

Wait wha

Was pretty shocked too since thats the first time that happened

Oh well

[graceful iron]

are you playing gamma?

[heady blade]

Yepp

[graceful iron]

you didnt disable any gamma addons right?

[heady blade]

Only some but nothing npc related

[graceful iron]

especially this one

what did you disable ?

[heady blade]

Wait lemme check again to be extra sure

Hmm weird the addon is ticked

Guess im seeing things then

[graceful iron]

what addons did you disable then?

[heady blade]

Apparently only lower weapon when sprint

Nothing weird happening after that so i guess its just a one time thing

[graceful iron]

[heady blade]

At least got a half eaten chocolate from him

[graceful iron]

[willow hawk]

Known issue it will be fixed with RC2 load order

Meanwhile there's a small fix you can do, search Mozin in here

[north turret]

Is gamma worth a play in this state?

[graceful iron]

are you have stupid

yes it is worth. play on hard/survivalist

[weary sable]

Absolutely. I see it as Anomaly NG+. Its not for the faint of hearted but I love it, the struggle, the difficulty.

So many great features.

[sour urchin]

so where can i get armor repair kits? just luck of the draw i guess?

[proven thorn]

Giving techs the basic/advanced/expert kits or crafting with those kits

[sour urchin]

alright and where do i find those

[proven thorn]

Stashes

[sour urchin]

so since by default stashes contain nothing, finding the stashes with the crafting kits, basic advanced etc boils down to what? PDA on stalkers, pay sid etc and then get lucky

since atm biggest hurdle is armor

[proven thorn]

Yep

Doing tasks for stalkers has a high chance for coordinates

Searching corpses can also give you stashes

[sour urchin]

there a way to change the colour system for stashes? having problems seeing the basic green ones on my map

[sour urchin]

there a guide to encrytped documents for anomaly anywhere? this one in cordon has me stumped

not GAMMA related technically i know

[lapis silo]

what encrypted documents

[sour urchin]

train tracks

[lapis silo]

you mean the ones you get as missions to recover from stashes?

[sour urchin]

yea, "go capture these encrypted secret documents blah blah"

[lapis silo]

Oh okay

I never thought there was any sense behind the encrpytion. And its the same text for every doc i think

[sour urchin]

gives you a marker, searched a maniac, either its a search AREA or im blind or its bugged dunno which so i just wrote it off

[lapis silo]

oh you mean the location

it gives you a marker for the stash

[sour urchin]

uh no i mean the location/guide to them cause this thing must be extremely well hidden unless that marker for GO HERE is just a search area

yea im searching the area, cant seem to find it plus its neatly placed so im not sure if its on the ground level or on the upper level tracks

i guess ill go search again, just a regular old stash right is located there? i know of the green boxes on the ground level next to the campfire thats it

[lapis silo]

Yes. you get the exact location of the stash

[sour urchin]

literally went to it, cant see it

[lapis silo]

so the marker is the EXACT location, not an area

[lapis silo]

look harder

[sour urchin]

guess it must be a backpack stash thats camo'd nicely into the ground cover

doesnt help im not sure what elevation its at

[lapis silo]

screenshot of the location?

[sour urchin]

screenshot hotkey n file location?

[weary sable]

With GAMMA comes a mod that adds 400+ new stashes and some of those are pretty hard to find. But they are all accessible.

[lapis silo]

F12, anomaly/appdata/screenshots

[weary sable]

I've had trouble finding many of them but they are there.

[sour urchin]

i dont doubt it, but at this point i was debating console commands

[lapis silo]

some are bugged too

[weary sable]

I used the same mod before GAMMA and never had any issues with it. Granted, I doubt I found all 400 of them.

[sour urchin]

can barely see it

basically ontop of/underneath the tracks, couldnt tell so i was running bck n forth trying to find em

[lapis silo]

have you looked ontop of the bridge, as in walked up the arching beams?

[weary sable]

dont recall that one. Checked under the tracks but on top of the bridge?

[sour urchin]

didnt realize that was even possible but i guess ill double back later

[weary sable]

iirc you can crawl under there

[sour urchin]

yea didnt see on the tracks, ontop the rail car, on the ground floor, i only looked, didnt crawl under the tracks

[weary sable]

now im curios, gone go look

thought I knew all stashes in that zone

[lilac meteor]

Where do we get the G.A.M.M.A. Weapons Pack? I've updated but its not in the list.

[willow hawk]

It is

https://github.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA/tree/main/G.A.M.M.A/modpack_addons/G.A.M.M.A. Weapon Pack/gamedata

[lilac meteor]

for some reason my update didnt pull it

[willow hawk]

Do a clean install when in doubt

Remove mods folder > update gamma data > complete gamma install

Updating should pull it though

[proven thorn]

Yeah, just realized mine didn't pull it either

[weary sable]

I can't find it either and I've been all over. Might be one of the bugged ones @lapis silo mentioned.

[sour urchin]

whats the command for no clipping on n off?

[weary sable]

FYI, the new stashes might look different from the vanilla ones (thats not the issue here) but therefore can be hard to spot.

[lilac meteor]

I just realised my mistake. I didn't hit update gamma data first lmao

[weary sable]

Thats from https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/tbs-475-new-stash-locations

[deep veldt]

I have updated GAMMA but when I launch it shows that reshade needs to be updated. I understand typically reshade is put into the root Anomaly folder. Is a clean install (Delete mods folder and unzip anomaly and overwrite?) recommended? Can someone recommend how to proceed?

[willow hawk]

Clean install will get you the last Reshade version

Otherwise you can copy paste GAMMA RC1/. Grok's Modpack Installer/GAMMA/modpack_patches/bin to your Anomaly folder

@deep veldt

[deep veldt]

Thank you Grok!
I copy/paste the bin and overwrite all!

[mortal flame]

it's possible to get that stash, just hard to find... sadly i dont have time to show it now

but it's placed really weird in that metal construction

[proven thorn]

Which questline is the "Sharpshooter" quest you get from Strelok in Outskirts from?

[wise sparrow]

had to take these at night but you should be able to figure it out. the first picture is from the south side of the bridge.

[sour urchin]

Ill have to take another gander, that one stash was tricky for sure

[graceful iron]

this mod adds some really tricky stashes but its part of the fun of finding new stashes

sadly they dont always reward with anything decent

[willow hawk]

Yeah but so is the life in the Zone

[sour urchin]

so whats the ammo slider do in the drop condition mod since it only goes up to 20? also any tips on a good loadout? thinking sidearm in 9x18/9x19 primary in larger caliber like 5.45x39 or 762 and a backup thats also using my 9x18

[wise sparrow]

skorpion is pretty good early game and you can replace it with the mp7 late game

both those smgs don't have the obnoxious bloom on the fire pattern that the other ones do

[deep veldt]

Can someone give me advice to this?

Is this intended or is it recommended that I re-copy the files?

[modest depot]

from where can i download the gamma weapon pack

[deep veldt]

tainis, If you Update or Install GAMMA you should have Gamma Weapon pack #📢announcements message

[modest depot]

i have already updated but didnt get it

[unkempt lance]

so do artifacts ONLY spawn in anomaly fields now?

[mellow leaf]

what does BaS mean?

[sour urchin]

boomsticks n sharpsticks, its a weapon pack

[mellow leaf]

ah of course, ty

[lapis silo]

they did that before aswell

[unkempt lance]

no? Im talking about the big named anomaly fields marked on map. Ive not seen one spawn outside that. And I definitely remember finding artis in minor anomalies on my run before gamma

[lapis silo]

In Vanilla Anomaly artifacts only spawn in artifact fields, just like in Gamma

Maybe you were playing SoC?

[unkempt lance]

nah, anomaly with very little mods thrown in. trader overhaul, some graphical shit etc.

i distinctly remember sometimes finding minor artifacts just randomly in the swamp

[lapis silo]

sometimes they get yanked pretty far out by gravi anomalies, happened to me a couple of times too

[unkempt lance]

hmm. maybe. Im just mentally jotting down some gameplay notes as I go, the artifacts only spawning in big marked fields thing is one annoyance. Kinda makes it all feel too "gamey" and predictable.

[trim bloom]

How does the EOTS scope do target-finding? I've tried enabling / disabling scope NVG and changing scope type (underbarrel GL button) but nothing is seeming to happen on top of enemy stalkers

[proven thorn]

I think it's broken

[oak dagger]

Hello. What mod is "Mutant freedom videos"?

[warped ginkgo]

skies redux

[oak dagger]

ok, thx

[lucid river]

Anybody can explain what is the VNZ Circle? Ecologist gave me mission in Zaton to take some readings from VNZ circle.. Im lost 😦

[unkempt lance]

what mod/part of mod is adding these brown circle effects to the basic anomalies?

sorry bad pic

[willow hawk]

They always did in Anomaly

[willow hawk]

Cinematic VFX I think

[unkempt lance]

Definitely not in vanilla. I just fired it up to check. Ill look into the vfx files though. In general Ive noticed on my run through gamma that I dont really need to worry about anomalies sneaking up on me. Theres so much audio/visual feedback.

[willow hawk]

Yes there's. You can disable the hints if you want

Honestly I never liked the invisible burners one shotting you

Coming from 400h of iron man runs, that can get really frustrating

That's why I made these choices for GAMMA to have a more fair experience :)

Challenging, rewarding and as fair as possible

That's also why I reduced KS23 damage to actor

[vale mantle]

is there any way of fixing dogshit condition artifacts (ones that had effects in vanilla)?

[unkempt lance]

hints? The burners are i think mostly fine, I see the mod for those. Its just these swirl effects on whirlgigs/vortex? the one thats right outside the house on rookie spawn near the fence. Idk, I just dont feel like i need to pay attention much when running through a field. and never much use bolts anymore

[rotund moss]

hmmm i thought i was reading somewhere on the discord that the "Bull" would be removed from stashes? i just found one, still a nice gun - but after you fire the 2 shots its useless since you cant get the ammo anywhere ^^

[rotund moss]

go to the eggheads, hope they like your face and buy an artifact melter (around 30k)

[willow hawk]

Yeah it's Cinematic VFX

Particles in GAMMA will be different at some point ;)

[junior swallow]

So.. my buddy accidentally disassembled his PDA..

[willow hawk]

#│📚manual

[willow hawk]

Spawn one with debug mode

But I think you can buy one otherwise

[junior swallow]

Thank you!

[unkempt lance]

aye I just disabled to see. I was gonna try to poke around in the particles file to remove that one but the sdk crashes on me

[willow hawk]

Yeah you need CoC SDK

[unkempt lance]

i tried running particleeditor.exe and it gives the initial load image then crashes with a sound. idk whats going on never used it before though haha

[willow hawk]

Aye it's a pain to setup :(

http://sdk.stalker-game.com/en/index.php?title=Particle_Editor_Basics

Tutorial to use the particle SDK

[unkempt lance]

I shall look, ty

[willow hawk]

https://www.moddb.com/games/stalker-call-of-pripyat/downloads/x-ray-16-engine-sdk-v07

That's the one you use @unkempt lance ?

I think you need to build all.spawn from a bat file for the editors to work ?

[unkempt lance]

uh, yes that one. I followed that page and it just makes a virtual drive. Seems to be working and I think i found the effect. So unintuitive though lol, i can only play the effects by constantly dragging my mouse around lol

[tidal raft]

Mod #53 "21_game_v1.1.4.1"

[nocturne merlin]

so sakharov is supposed to sell the artefact melter right? do i need to be an ecologist? doesn't seem to be in vendor inventory

[willow hawk]

It should be available right off the bat ?

It should be 172 maybe ?

[nocturne merlin]

hmm odd

i'm clear sky so i figured it was a faction thing. Next time I go by yantor i'll post screenies

[unkempt lance]

I did it. Heres the file for anyone who also enjoys breaking their knees tripping over anomalies more often. Backup old cinematicfx incase you wanna revert. yadda yadda.

[modest depot]

tried to completely reinstall gamma and got this error

any way to fix this

[rocky topaz]

Doing a first time install of gamma and got this error

[modest depot]

pretty sure you just have to delete the shader cache

#│🔧troubleshooting message

right here

[rocky topaz]

I just tried that but it sadly did not work

[willow hawk]

Bro, that's 176

It's written

[willow hawk]

Which particle did you remove ?

Just fucking read ?

Grok balanced overhaul of ballistic system bWrr patch

[unkempt lance]

those amber color....bubble swirl things at the base of the anomaly. So now its just the audio cue, swirling leaves, and that warp effect. Makes it not so obvious where they are and gotta pay attention more

[willow hawk]

Oooh I like it

Man I wish Yohjimane had time to mod

[unkempt lance]

whos dat

[rocky topaz]

If deleting the shader cache does not fix the crash on start up does that basically mean I have to reinstall everything

[willow hawk]

A person that is making the next standard in terms of particles for Stalker Anomaly and Gunslinger among other things

Big Chad modder

[willow hawk]

You have shader crash ?

[sour urchin]

yea ive had it aswell, tried to disable enhanced shader etc for more fps and deleting the shader cache but just no luck

[rocky topaz]

Yes, I had already deleted the shader cache - No conflicts in mods @willow hawk

[willow hawk]

Also disable GAMMA glowsticks patch

[sour urchin]

so i just go without the other mods but keep enhanced shaders n the patches

[willow hawk]

Eh

You want to disable every shader stuff right ?

[sour urchin]

ill try again, maybe its as simple as turning it on on off again

tbh i just want best fps on my ancient pc but i think im content with this

rostok sucks for stable fps tho

[willow hawk]

If you want to save frame in DX11: reinstall Beef NVG ES SSR patch and only tick ES patch only no SSR

[sour urchin]

bold of you to assume my dumbass managed to attain NVG yet

[willow hawk]

If you don't want any shader mod

Untick Enhanced Shaders, SSR, Beef NVGs, and GAMMA Glowsticks patch

[rocky topaz]

For me, I don't really mind what I gotta do as long as it works lol

ill try that out

[willow hawk]

Ok. You edited graphic settings ?

Otherwise delete mods folder and update GAMMA data > complete install @rocky topaz

[rocky topaz]

I had before on anomaly, maybe that might be it?

[willow hawk]

Be sure your anomaly folder is clean

[sour urchin]

God damn chimaera scared the shit out of me

[rocky topaz]

Hey @willow hawk just wanted to say that the complete install of the mods again did the trick, TY!

[willow hawk]

[desert robin]

Where can i get a default user.ltx from for GAMMA? The one it installs on a clean install? Trying to save a bunch of time re-installing by just finding this file

[lapis silo]

GAMMA.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\appdata

[desert robin]

Thanks. I thought that might be it, but the one there seems to have a lot of lines and stuff that my current one doesn't.. Does Gammas user.ltx ever get changed or updated?

[willow hawk]

Yup

[desert robin]

Ok cool. Thanks!

[desert robin]

New/Clean install, 129 (anomaly wpo) is empty and a red X.. Any ideas?

right-click and resinstall seems to have worked..

[brisk zinc]

Faulty servers

[desert robin]

What's the consequence of not launching anomaly once at the #old-how-to step 0? I forgot to.. I can re-reinstall but im just curious what it breaks (if anything)

[timid edge]

do trader levels decrease with relations, as well?

[timid edge]

probably just a step to make sure that anomaly runs in the first place.

[junior swallow]

Does anyone else get a weird audio lag whenever you're in an intense fire fight?

My audio gets super choppy and cuts out a lot.

[timid edge]

bugs the hell out of me. Grok mentioned some mod, i forget the exact name, something in regards to scary or fear, something along those lines. he said disable it, i haven't tried.

[sour urchin]

so how do receivers work other than find frquency and...beep beep beep

since im running around like a maniac n cant make sense of it

desman horror overhaul fixes @timid edge ?

[desert robin]

Ok. Happened 2 clean installs in a row just now. Might be something else...? I just mention as people using gamma for first time may also have this where WPO is not enabled by default or is broken and their game may be off to a bad start due to it is all.

[brisk zinc]

Moddb?

[desert robin]

I had github turned off so that could be...

[brisk zinc]

Maybe that one is on Github

Try again with that checked this time

It goes by itself that if you clean install you NEED to have everything enabled in the installer

[daring bison]

is it just me or is it not possible to repair/empower the heart of the oasis? it doesn't show up in the empower menu when you have copies

[desert robin]

Hey what's these ghost things ? Any way to disable them? Theyre really fucking annoying,

Like i saw a snork in the distance, and then these ghost things slowly come flying like a mile across the map in slow-mo. What even is that.

[warped ginkgo]

from shadow of chernobyl

[desert robin]

Is there a way to make that just not happen? It's really dumb imo.

They dont even do anything

[warm cradle]

why's there a stash ontop of a tree for fuck sakes

[warped ginkgo]

it should lower your psy health everytime they attack you

until you get the psy helmet

but i don't remember if the damage works in gamma

[desert robin]

Yep this has come up so many times lol..

[latent knot]

uh, idk if it was asked before, but I can't find it in configs and MCM
is there a way to rebind zoom? it's bound to mouse5 by default and it kinda interferes with my discord PTT button

[wraith token]

Anyone know the name of the texture for the PDA map. Snow mod added a snowy one and it's absolutely blinding

Can't find what it is

[nocturne merlin]

seems like I magically healed my limbs in between loading screens

[north turret]

How could I download a specific addon in the mod pack and only that file so I could use it in my own game?

[warped ginkgo]

search for GAMMA keybnd fixes

in mo2, open the folder, saerch for the 'scripts' folder

and it's a file called 'free zoomv2'

edit the first line to the key you want

[latent knot]

hmm

its 341 by default

okay, I'll try

[warped ginkgo]

yes that's the mouse5 button id

[cursive musk]

is there any way to change those weird 3D scope ? I would largely prefer a simple 2D one

[flat iron]

In the Explorers questline, where you have to find 3 artefacts from the military warehouse, there's one location that never completes even when I pick up an artefact from it

Do I just have to wait until the right one spawns?

its the Hells Walls anomaly

[hollow apex]

actually this is an enhanced version of the 2D scope

[hollow apex]

this is 3D scope that burns your FPS, I like Gamma's choice tbh

[kind depot]

where can i get a mil spec exo power supply? all i can find is low grade atm

[graceful iron]

most military ish factions sell them at high level traders

[kind depot]

duty too?

[graceful iron]

if not all factions, i have not checked to see which ones exactly

yes duty should sell them

[kind depot]

great

also, does generator artefact work on exo batteries perchance?

[graceful iron]

the one that charges all electric devices? i dont know myself, maybe someone else does or you could test

[kind depot]

ok, will test when possible

[modest depot]

what.

[graceful iron]

what the

is this what your game looks like?

check other factions, that might be the shader cache

military should not be friendly with them so check those

[modest depot]

just spawned in a duty soldier and he was hostile so

probably shader cache

[graceful iron]

duty soldier ?

oh..

delete the shader cache then

or when you open the anomaly launcher you can tick delete shader cache there

[modest depot]

that fixed it

[graceful iron]

[zealous haven]

Hey, when should traders start selling armour? I'm at level 2 for sid n the guy at the farm yet no armours for sale

[graceful iron]

they dont, #│📚manual

you loot and repair armors

and guns

gamma is focused on crafting/cooking/looting/survival/repairing

the manual should explain how to be able to progress basically

if you find anything confusing you can ask here

[zealous haven]

My bad, missed that one! Just read I can rip off patches of enemy faction armour, was avoiding them coz i thouggt itd disguise me 😅😅

[graceful iron]

you can wear any suit if someone sees you wearing it

it wont disguise you

[willow hawk]

Shader cache cleaning solved factions colors in game start screen ?

[graceful iron]

somehow

[modest depot]

yeah

[graceful iron]

it can cause UI elements to show up in main menu as well

[willow hawk]

Man, XRay shader cache is like an autonomous AI at this point

[graceful iron]

like bhs health UI

[willow hawk]

Every time we erase it, we prevent we sentient AI to be born I'm telling you

[graceful iron]

yea...

[weary sable]

The Soundscape Overhaul, if I'm not mistaken, doesn't have any "fake" background noise? If you hear a dog barking there is a dog somewhere, right? Never used it in vanilla Anomaly.

[brittle kestrel]

hey I have a question more about vanilla anomaly that I was hoping someone could answer for me: do pulses happen more frequently around monolith? It doesn't happen in gamma, but in vanilla anomaly I keep having it where pulses will go off basically back to back directly above my head during and shortly after fights with monolith. Last time I played vanilla I got chased by them half way across jupiter after fighting monolith on the road to the train bunker.

[graceful iron]

yes it removes fake ambient noise

[willow hawk]

Yes

[willow hawk]

I think it happens more in the north

[weary sable]

Just heard the oddes noise, best description is a giant burping, and I had a look around but saw nothing wierd.

No giant anywhere

[graceful iron]

are you sure that was not a psy storm?

[brittle kestrel]

yep

[graceful iron]

and no it shouldnt do that in vanilla anomaly

or anywhere

[brittle kestrel]

hmmmm... I wonder if it was an unlisted effect of an addon I was using... because it was consistant enough I was starting to think that monolith had pulse grenades or something because it flush me from cover so frequently when fighting them.

[graceful iron]

nothing i can think of should do that

[glass musk]

is there any way to discard the current RF stash? i have one in garbage that i cannot find at all

here to be precise

if you know please ping me with a response

[lapis silo]

has anybody played the researchers quest lately, and knows where to find this guy? I forgot where he was and cannot find him for the life of me, i went through garbage 3 times

[blissful tree]

Pirogev should be in Dark Valley, at the farm.

[lapis silo]

Yes, I got the quest from him

I mean the guy I am supposed to find in the quest

[blissful tree]

Ohh

[wraith cosmos]

Is there any way to change my companion's armor?

[graceful iron]

there is no way to discard them that i know of but they should be easy to find, look under bushes or behind/under random objects. the faster and louder the beeping is the closer you are to the package

[graceful iron]

any extra info the quest giver mentions ?

[glass musk]

i've looked around the bushes and even in the anomaly where it beeps loudly while holding down F, absolutely nothing

[graceful iron]

in an anomaly ?

[lapis silo]

No, all he mentions is in the dump

[graceful iron]

is it a gravitational anomaly ?

[glass musk]

electro

two electros on that little elevated cement thing

[graceful iron]

did you look on the other side of the wall?

inside the depot

[naive quartz]

Guys, has every mod that modifies keybinds its own config file or exists a single keybinds file for all Gamma ?

[glass musk]

i have, the beeping gets quieter there but i can look again

[graceful iron]

which keybind are you looking for? some of them are in gamma keybind files but some are not changed so are inside each of their files

[naive quartz]

Im not actualy sure haha, just wanted to tweak a little bit my keymap, but thanks 🙂

[graceful iron]

some of the mod keybinds are found in mcm

there is an addon called gamma keybind fixes that has the mod keybinds for a few addons

[naive quartz]

Thank you ! 🙂

Is there any way to reset to default the key proposal from Gamma ?

im afraid that clicking default in the ingame options wont be good

[graceful iron]

to reset keybinds to gamma defaults ?

yes there is

[naive quartz]

yes

[graceful iron]

this file has all the default gamma settings

not sure about the mcm ones

[willow hawk]

For mcm it's axr_options.ltx

[naive quartz]

do you have an unmodified user.ltx ?

[willow hawk]

It's in the GAMMA MCM default addon

[naive quartz]

so i can backup it

Oh !

[willow hawk]

Just delete your user ltx and launch the Anomaly launcher and tick reset graphic settings

[naive quartz]

Superb, thanks 🙂

[kind depot]

he is in a basement where you get whacked in the head in clear sky, under the flea market

[lapis silo]

thanks dawg

[hollow apex]

is m1 Garand in Gamma? I've never encountered one but I remembered it's in some other mods

[tidal raft]

No, but there are other semi-auto rifles similar to it. Like the SKS Molot.

[hollow apex]

okay cool, I'm just still missing the iconic reloading sound of M1 Garand so...

[tidal raft]

Plenty of WW2 games around with that weapon.

[graceful iron]

vanilla sks, the 43 something i cant remember the name and mosin

[hollow apex]

yes sks is pretty good, mosin really pack a punch early game.

[graceful iron]

warsaw pact historic rifles only it seems ?

[marsh hatch]

guys

a dude is suffering from gray textures

[graceful iron]

shaders

?

and try deleting shader cache

that seems to almost always fix shader stuff

[marsh hatch]

yeah alright

I think there was a fix for that by using console right?

Grok posted it somewhere on here, long ago i think.

[graceful iron]

that one is for black/white screen?

the troubleshooting one?

[marsh hatch]

I think so, lemme check it real quick

aha!

this one

#│🔧troubleshooting message

Thanks, cat!

[graceful iron]

wait its only the ground/grass textures?

[gritty oar]

so i debugged the snorks in for a mission and they kept disappearing when i spawned them in right well i left zaton and came back and ohh boy there was a fucking army of them

[vale mantle]

is there any way of working with radioactive artifacts with artifact melter without taking massive rad damage?

[sour urchin]

i take it if i had in the basic tools to the tech guy he gets new stock but is it worth it since i can craft my own stuff on the fly?

[graceful iron]

only give it to him when you get a second one you can keep

[sour urchin]

figured, i was hoping his new stock would include basic tools but that was wishful thinking

[graceful iron]

nope

he starts selling large repair kits (light outfits and historic rifle kits) but they are much cheaper to craft anyways

[latent knot]

do you know what the keybind ID is for left alt?

[graceful iron]

idk if the anomaly engine has different ones for keyboard id but the one i found is 164

[latent knot]

ok thanks

[gritty oar]

any idea on why i cacnt complete the steamer anomaly mission ive got like 20 artefacts for the eco guy in army warehouses

[timid edge]

Did you do a mission where you had to find a pda in garbage, then find 3 artifacts?

[graceful iron]

its further south in one of the other burning house anomalies

have your detector out and look around the other houses in bloodsucker village

[gritty oar]

its not the hell walls anomaly?

[graceful iron]

nope

the marker is wrong

[gritty oar]

ahh okayu

[smoky junco]

@timid edge i AM STUCK ON THAT, i DONT KNOW WHERE THAT DAMN PDA IS

sry caps

[graceful iron]

[timid edge]

I'm suppose to find a scientist and his pda in "the dump" which one would assume is Garbage.

[gritty oar]

do i have to do the eco missions in a certain order?

[smoky junco]

someone earlier mentioned it is "underground" but wouldnt say where

[graceful iron]

yes the dump is the garbage

[graceful iron]

no

[gritty oar]

ahh okay

[graceful iron]

not underground

its under the flea market

[smoky junco]

ahhhh

ty

[graceful iron]

there is a body there

[smoky junco]

ive been scouring agro underground lol

[graceful iron]

nah its in the garbage

the dump means the garbage, google translation

[timid edge]

Sadly, the game spawned the mission artifacts but gave me no trigger when i picked one up.

[smoky junco]

also, the questline where you just keep going to different traders, does that ever end? Go meet beard, back to sidrovich, go meet xenotech, etc...

[graceful iron]

it cant do that, which mission was it? (unless the trigger got overwritten by another quest at the same time)

[graceful iron]

yes, in the end it tells you to find the wish granter

vanilla anomaly quest

[timid edge]

Havent a clue what mission would override it. There's really only one group of collections i've never had trouble with throughout the experience so far.

[graceful iron]

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

it can happen

i have seen it

mostly the "hide from blow out" quest

[timid edge]

@graceful iron do you know if i lose trader level if i become hostile with faction then buy my way into their good graces?

[soft leaf]

there's an option for that

[graceful iron]

there is a gameplay option

reset goodwill with hostile factions

[gritty oar]

is there a way to make the head lamp brighter?

[graceful iron]

not currently but there is an addon called nicer headlamps or something, grok is planning to add it i think

[gritty oar]

could i add that mod to gamma or would grok need to do some tweaking to it?

[graceful iron]

someone said they added it to gamma just fine

leave it at the end of loader

install it using this in mo2

[wooden nacelle]

Can I install the mod pack with breaks in between?

[graceful iron]

the mod file has to be in 7zip so mo2 can detect it

[brisk zinc]

Short answer: no

Long answer: okay_cat

[wooden nacelle]

huh

[graceful iron]

yes but could cause some issues later. this if anything breaks

[wooden nacelle]

Well my connection to Moddb is utter dogshit, that is why I am asking, I'll probably need a couple of days to finish downloading this

half an hour for soundscape

it's not even finished yet

70% ish

[graceful iron]

downloading takes the longest so its fine to stop it but make sure to do it between downloads and not in the middle of one(especially the large files) but if you do this after downloading all mods it will only install them and download any broken ones

[brisk zinc]

Moddb (should) have a download cap of 2/mbps or something like that, it's shitty for everyone, maybe RNG picked you a shitty server

[wooden nacelle]

I think I saw somewhere that something can be done about that

[graceful iron]

#old-how-to

[wooden nacelle]

thanks!

[graceful iron]

the last message

you will have to change the mirror and then close the installer and open it again

[graceful iron]

400kb/s for me

[timid edge]

I dont want to reset goodwill, will that reset trader level?

[wooden nacelle]

36kb/s beat that

[graceful iron]

check if the gameplay option called "reset goodwill with hostile factions" is ticked

make sure its not ticked

goodwill is what raises trader levels

@timid edge is that what you were asking or am i getting the question wrong?

[timid edge]

What i want to know is if trader levels are effected by hostility

[fresh aspen]

Hey, some time ago I have seen a mod that reduces stutters ingame. Do you guys know what happend to it? I cant find it

[graceful iron]

there was something after it about it not working correctly i think?

[timid edge]

AFTER i lvl them up. Do they reset?

[fresh aspen]

It made that most of the assets were loaded in before the game start, so it reduced the freezes while entering some impactfull areas

[fresh aspen]

for me it worked good

[timid edge]

Level up Loner, become hostile, pay or reset hostility, does the trader level reset?

[graceful iron]

so when you switch from a faction you already got goodwill with (also known as trader levels ) to a faction thats hostile with them, you wont lose trader level if the gameplay option called "reset goodwill with hostile factions" is not enabled

how do you become hostile to them?

[fresh aspen]

Also having some strange animation stuttering while entering scopes or running, like animation fps drops to 1 for a milisecond. Game itself works nice with 70fps avg

[timid edge]

Okay, so they don't reset. Good.

[warped ginkgo]

are you playing fullscreen?

or borderless

[fresh aspen]

full

[warped ginkgo]

try playing in borderless, maybe that will fix it? no idea
some people managed to fix the looking at a campfire stutter by switching to borderless

[graceful iron]

sorry i got it wrong #old-bugs message

[fresh aspen]

its not tied to the game settings, even on potato this things happen

[graceful iron]

here is the original message

[fresh aspen]

borderless did nothing

another sign of this bug - while rotating the screen its not smooth but it "jumps" strangely. It's quite hard to explain

[timid edge]

@fresh aspen unless you absolutely must have everything set at max setting, tinker with your lighting settings. Try lowering quality on shadows, lights, particles, and such.

[fresh aspen]

I said that it happens even on potato settings

[graceful iron]

you can disable cvfx if you didnt yet, although not sure if it has any dependencies

[timid edge]

@fresh aspen did you try disabling the reshade?

Player shadows and npc shadow are hogs.

[fresh aspen]

Forgot to do that lol

For now it works nice

Leaving the ambient light option only is way to go, I think some other effects in GAMMA reshade does that

[timid edge]

I forgot about grass shadows. That will cause issues for sure.

[fresh aspen]

It have nearly on impact on performance with my rig

no*

But as I said, reshade was the problem, thanks for help, i forgot about it 😄

[willow hawk]

Just change your mirror as others said

[fresh aspen]

Need to try out another reshade, maybe it will work good

@willow hawk Have you thought about increasing buckshot penetration a bit? Like now, guys with exos are almost impossible to kill with buck

[graceful iron]

they are supposed to be almost impossible to kill with buckshot

bruh

[warped ginkgo]

https://tenor.com/view/gun-fail-guns-gun-funny-gif-19593151

[fresh aspen]

After shooting a real life shotgun with buckshots loaded you can see how much damage it does. I know that kevlar will withstand them with no problem but energy what it does in short range it would kick somebody with no problem

[warped ginkgo]

i guess it's more of a balance thing

[graceful iron]

there are no exos far south so you will not have to kill them early game anyways

unless you start in a further north area

but there are so many easy ways to kill them still

[fresh aspen]

I'm at Truck Cemetry and encountered Duty patrol with exos

[graceful iron]

9mm ap to the head can kill them. will take extra shots but it can

[fresh aspen]

I know thare are many, Im talking strictly about buckshot penetration

[graceful iron]

thats considered north

only garbage and further south seem to not allow exo

its not realism, just like what lauta said. its balance

buckshots in anomaly can kill about everything

[fresh aspen]

There should be something like AP buckshot, AP slugs are quite useless if you use AP rounds in assault rifle

[graceful iron]

...

[fresh aspen]

Ok, understand that

[tidal raft]

Buckshot doesn't even penetrate soft body armour.
Wtf are you talking about 'buckshot penetration' for?

[graceful iron]

https://tenor.com/view/im-outta-here-the-simpsons-homer-simpsons-gif-17885092

[fresh aspen]

It can penetrate several wooden or thin concrete wall

so there is penetration lol

[tidal raft]

Mhm..
How thin?

Also, concrete =/= kevlar.

[fresh aspen]

I know, but I said, I know that it does not penetrate kevlar

https://youtu.be/Y29uODuMv30

[tidal raft]

Then why are you arguing about penetration at all!?

[graceful iron]

the pure energy from a buckshot can still damage heavy armored targets in gamma. but it will have to destroy the armor first before it starts dealing any tissue damage

[fresh aspen]

I;m not arguing, I'm just asked about it

[graceful iron]

so many people asked grok about it and i have a feeling you already seen his answer

[tidal raft]

You are arguing.

[warped ginkgo]

https://tenor.com/view/moti-hearts-gif-20367288

[fresh aspen]

not about buckshots

[fresh aspen]

ok

[fresh aspen]

You know better 🙂

[graceful iron]

he is the english teacher ofc he knows better

[tidal raft]

Yes. Now, if you want to penetrate plate armour with a shotgun use slugs or dart. End of story.

[sour urchin]

there a setting or mod in GAMMA to fiddle with the needs values of food/health/sleep needs and what BHS subtracts aswell? Find the inventory management for food+water and juggling is..a bit unenjoyable for me personally

[graceful iron]

#old-bugs message a simple search in discord

#old-feedback-suggestions message

i can find so many more to

its stupid

[fresh aspen]

Okay, as Aldourien said, end of story

[graceful iron]

stoary

okay

[fresh aspen]

😦

[tidal raft]

Chill, man.

[graceful iron]

no

[fresh aspen]

miss click

[graceful iron]

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

okay i will chill

[graceful iron]

sorry we kind of didnt notice your question. config files are your best bet

[sour urchin]

or any tips for managing health dehydration etc since it kinda seems like im juggling them alot with how the meds work

yea i figured

[graceful iron]

food/thirst/sleep is changed by the mod called gamma sleep balance

[sour urchin]

there a changelog/tl:dr i can read on that

[graceful iron]

not sure if there is one

[sour urchin]

i dig sleep but the food n thirst is...aggresive when paired with BHS and how some meds dehydrate/etc

wish there was more hot keys

[graceful iron]

cooking is much easier

and finding water is not that hard on stalkers and in open world spawns

just make sure you dont get hit by bullets by taking more cover

[timid edge]

@graceful iron hey. I just finished the garbage eco mission and it said to find another scientist, but it isnt showing the mission in the log. Did it bug out you think?

[graceful iron]

maybe go back to the one that gave you the mission? or did you already do that?

[sour urchin]

its not finding the water its really just its one of those things that i find its not worth using up 1/4 quickslots for+food and drink and the meds well...they tend to create a cookie monster like playthrough

[timid edge]

Yeah. He says nothing.

[fresh aspen]

For what scientist you did missions?

[graceful iron]

you can favorite items so they appear on top of your inventory instead of using quick keys

[sour urchin]

yea i know, maybe im just overwhelmed by groks BHS and its med system

[graceful iron]

there are many of them around the zone, i think it just means to find the next one

[sour urchin]

went in expecting 1:1 of tarkov hp system and still trying to figure it out

[graceful iron]

army warehouses, yantar, zaton and some other places i think

[fresh aspen]

One from Army Warehouses told me to meet Pirogov, but he was already dead after my firefight with loners in the farm on Dark Valley

[graceful iron]

not really, its inspired by it but not a 1:1

[sour urchin]

i went in expecting is what i said, im not saying thats what it is

[graceful iron]

yes i am explaining that

[sour urchin]

so the manage health of limbs but they dont contribute to total hp pool and thats a separate staff has me scrambling to find a primary healing item i guess

[fresh aspen]

@graceful iron sorry for my english sometimes, I got used to write in russian right now and I need to get used to english again xD

[graceful iron]

1 medkit can first aid most limbs and then use a yadulin if your torso or head are damaged. if not use an ibuprofen

[timid edge]

It must have bugged because they always had a target.

[sour urchin]

medkit being what, the square ones you mean

[graceful iron]

i have not completed the quest for them so idk where it goes from there

[graceful iron]

yes

[fresh aspen]

As I said he gaved me a target that was already dead

[graceful iron]

its fine everyone can mess up some english while typing

[fresh aspen]

So the quest just ended

[graceful iron]

they shouldnt die unless you shoot them

[fresh aspen]

I shoot him xD

[graceful iron]

they are too tough for anything to kill them

yes

why

[timid edge]

After doing the garbage, he gave you another scientist that was dead?!

[fresh aspen]

I gone on a full rage against them and got killed by a mistake

[graceful iron]

but i dont think whiskey killed the one in his run

[fresh aspen]

I think my last quest was to find artifacts in Radar location

[willow hawk]

I think it's just a matter of making storylines scientists invincible

[timid edge]

I spotted that scientist in army warehouse dead. Thats what it was i bet.

[willow hawk]

not that hard really

main issue is offline combat...

[graceful iron]

they dont die unless the player kills them. i have seen them survive chimeras, bandits, renegades and monolith all alone. only the player can easily one shot them

[willow hawk]

@lyric bobcat ignore my ping

interesting issue here (concerning additional storylines):

Some scientists are dying, and some quests are thus failing. I a fix would be to make them invincible – or perhaps make them story NPC like strelok.

For online combat it's easy with on npc before hit. But I don't know if that works for offline combat as well ?

[willow hawk]

hum really ?

[graceful iron]

yes

only player can kill them

[willow hawk]

So what, someone killed a scientist and then complain about issues ?

[graceful iron]

desolate said he did that

idk about anyone else

[willow hawk]

Welcome to reality

you do shit, there are consequences, end of story

[graceful iron]

maybe a nade got too close

[willow hawk]

whatever

[graceful iron]

or a bullet missed

is there a way to spawn them from debug?

[willow hawk]

no

[timid edge]

I didnt shoot anybody. I came across the dude taking on an army and they got the better of him.

[willow hawk]

hum

Well I can write a script that will help

[graceful iron]

maybe enough damage per second can still kill them

[willow hawk]

I just need the NPC section of these eggheads

[timid edge]

Hip can die, others could as well i would imagine.

[fresh aspen]

Forgot to say, I also found this one dead few playthroughs ago

[lyric bobcat]

Look how other quest npcs are handled and provide same solution, can't help much on that

[graceful iron]

yes but all quest npcs are really tough. most enemies cant kill them

[willow hawk]

But I don't even get why scientists would be attacked by the military?

[graceful iron]

unless they fight a frikin army

[willow hawk]

Don't tell me fucking warfare

[graceful iron]

i think he means "an army"

of something

[willow hawk]

ah

[timid edge]

Negative. And it was monolith.

[fresh aspen]

One from Dark Valley can by attacked by mutants

[willow hawk]

ok

[fresh aspen]

Saw him shooting pseudodogs

[graceful iron]

but they cant kill him. unless you hit him by accident with some buckshot

they are really weak to actor attacks

[fresh aspen]

As Grok said maybe it's an offline warfare problem

[timid edge]

Could have been follower that shot them?

[timid edge]

Are you modder that works on fallout as well?

[fresh aspen]

I killed that poor guy while spraying a stalker who stood in the line with that egghead His head really become an egg after that

@timid edge I think there's nothing you can do right now, just abandon that quest

[timid edge]

Hip is always trying to give those giants a hug, i'm sure the scientist had that same inclination, him being alone for so long. Cabin fever is a helluva drug.

[lyric bobcat]

nope

[fresh aspen]

These storylines are nice, but in technical aspect are very simple so situations like this could happen

[timid edge]

Well if you are, just wanted to say am a big fan.

[lyric bobcat]

👍

[timid edge]

Did i miss out on an achievment? Probably huh?

[timid edge]

Abandon? There's nothing there. It's just....gone.

I'm the idiot for not reloading when i found him dead. Hopefully his corpse is still there, maybe i can revive him ala Elder Scrolls...

Do achievments at least carry over, so i dont have to do them all over again?

And they're gone...

[willow hawk]

Ok I did it, hopefully it will help even with players error

they will still be killable by the player though, but only after many many ammo

next up : grizzly detector

[timid edge]

Too late man. TOo LaTe!!

[willow hawk]

You can actually respawn them

F7 > spawn objects > click the section spawning bar on the right, write their section , click spawn

@timid edge

[desert robin]

Is there a mod in GAMMA that allows picking up your set explosives?

[graceful iron]

no

i dont think there even is a mod that does that

[desert robin]

There is, apparently

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/anomaly-151-defuse-and-pickup-your-planted-explosives

[graceful iron]

what

why

[desert robin]

Why not?

[graceful iron]

.

[wraith token]

I want dis

[graceful iron]

https://tenor.com/view/bauf-mr-bean-wavy-confused-rowan-atkinson-gif-17742857

[desert robin]

Plants explosive 'OH BOY THEY DIDNT COME NEAR ME GUESS ILL LEAVE THIS HERE FOR ETERNITY'

[graceful iron]

you plant explosive you should not be able to pick it up

also if you try to pick up an explosive with a proximity trigger it will explode

[desert robin]

skilled in the arts of all weaponry, can dismantle and field strip guns, but explsovies are too far

[graceful iron]

yes. breaking down guns and even losing multiple parts in the meantime

[wooden nacelle]

lmao

[graceful iron]

does that sound like skilled?

[desert robin]

[graceful iron]

now scurry away with your weird mod

[desert robin]

you used to be okay cat, now youre just cat...

[graceful iron]

go use it if you want

not telling you not to, its just really stupid

[graceful iron]

i can be angy cat if you try your luck too much

[vivid basin]

If the update instalation process stops midway because i didn't have enough room on my pc, i can just click update installation again and it will pick up where it left off correct ?

[graceful iron]

yes

[willow hawk]

Yeah I'll include something like this

Arti made

[sour urchin]

So do NVGs only activate at night? i rebound the key from vanilla settings but even tho its dusk out these NVG/headlamp combos wont work, just the lamp setting

[graceful iron]

wait what? hold n to activate nvgs

and make sure to bind it back to n

[sour urchin]

oh HOLD N

[graceful iron]

pressing n once changes nvgs brightness

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[sour urchin]

was just tapping it and was wondering

durp team six going dark

[graceful iron]

please read the keymap this time tho

a lot of things are not the same as the vanilla anomaly keybinds

[sour urchin]

yea will do, between rebinds+anomaly+gamma its..an experience

wish we had the long press vs tap feature built in ourselves tho since..id go ham with it

so for WPO when i have a jam, if i hit reload, it'll just do the stow away animation but then..bring the weapon out again, still jammed and i can just repeat that

not sure if thats a workaround, as in no animation has been made to resolve a firearm jam or something or im missing something

[graceful iron]

... z unjams the gun. hitting f twice also does that

you have to unjam before you reload

[sour urchin]

yes im quite aware im saying if i press R accidently the game just..stows the weapon away, then pulls it right back out

[graceful iron]

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

yes its supposed to do that

[sour urchin]

?

[graceful iron]

what is your question ?

[sour urchin]

why is it doing that was my question

doesnt make much sense, itd make much more sense to do nothing

[graceful iron]

stowing the weapon away when it tries to reload while jammed?

[sour urchin]

stowing,then pulling the weapon out is just..odd

yea

[graceful iron]

i dont frikin know. why do we do anything in a video game

why does it hurt you so much

i think its just there to tell you the wepon is jammed

and you cant reload

[sour urchin]

yeesh alright then, i just found it odd

[graceful iron]

if there was no animation then you wouldnt know instantly

[sour urchin]

fair enough

[wooden nacelle]

Wouldn't walking slowly make less noise than slow crouching waddling on tall grass? While also not getting your knees worn down to the state of a retiring football player?

shits weird

[sour urchin]

Video game logic

snake spent half the games crouched, remember the sneaking suit in MGS phantom pain he had honey baked hams for thighs

[graceful iron]

video game logic also applies to your weird question before

dont question video game logic, its just there

[buoyant sable]

You probably dont have mags in your loadout

[graceful iron]

[graceful iron]

no

its jammed

the gun is jammed

why do you not read the full context before you reply to a message

[buoyant sable]

Maybe because I also had that issue before...?

[graceful iron]

i want to cry

[buoyant sable]

jam or not, it happened to me, rechecked I had my magazine, added one back to loadout, did that again, no more holstering animation loop

[graceful iron]

.

[sour urchin]

no it doesnt, thats a mod authors design choice when incessent swearing (a mod feature) or a HUD message letting you now GUN JAMMED PRESS JAM BUTTON TO UNJAM would prob work better tbh than folding a gun stock, shoving it away and pulling it out, specially for a HUD minimalist playthrough where someone might think "oh mag is empty" then go wtf, then go "oh"

[graceful iron]

https://tenor.com/view/jake-peralta-jake-peralta-b99-brooklyn-nine-nine-gif-8793716

[sour urchin]

better ways to convey a message of "fix yo shit" than some wierd stow/weapon at the ready loop

[graceful iron]

i will ask again, why does it annoy you so much

and if you really have to hate on a random feature then go ask the mod author i guess

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

[stone breach]

it's a placeholder animation for a MOD. same animation that plays when you check round count

ask the publishers but i doubt they'll bend over backwards and rig new anims for ever gun for free because little timmy can't handle a little jank in his MOD

[sour urchin]

:I came looking for answer why it was doing that and got attitude

[graceful iron]

cuz your question is weird

its out of place

its not important

[stone breach]

very impertinent

[warped ginkgo]

you mean unjam the weapon puts the weapon away and then it brings it up again?

if that's the case, it's just that there is no animation

[sour urchin]

i literally just wanted to know what it was doing.

thats it

[stone breach]

i thought it was weird at first but discarded the thought when i realized i wasn't playing tarkov

[buoyant sable]

It was nothing more than placehorder

Das about it with the anim

Because mod creator prob thought you'd clear jam instead of trying to reload

Which of course won't really work

[graceful iron]

you should take a look at the #old-feedback-suggestions some time, people know the modders are not full time workers who will make the game perfect cuz its somehow their job(its not)

[sour urchin]

the fact thaat i came in here and basically ask "whats up with this? is it a bug or a feature im just not picking up on?" and you somehow manage to just turn it into this gif fulled commentary on how demanding i am on a mod authors work and such n such is nuts with the only real criticism being that its kind of a wierd animation to play (we know learn its aplaceholder) is nuts. Stop trying to act im being unreasonable when you're being immature

[desert robin]

Dont let it ruin your day man, and try not to take it personally. it happens a lot here and i guess the mods have to wade through a lof of shit and its darkened their souls dealing with people so often and some bad apples have come through here. Maybe not speaking to all of them but some. Anyway i get it, we've all been there. As much as sometimes you might get or see some bs from mods that feels a bit agressive the truth is they do a lot of good it's just when they lash out or maybe having a bad day or just jaded that someone cops the ol' beatdown.

[graceful iron]

i said its supposed to (meaning its not a bug)

[warped ginkgo]

now now, just chill

[graceful iron]

i said its supposed to do the animation
