anyone know how to edit the radiation zones?
what's a good way to know which armors to keep, it's difficult to tell how good they'll be once they're repaired
This so much. i fucking hate it
okay so is the SSP-99 good? I'm not sure if the SEVA suit has it's own helmet or if it's this one
eh might as well pick it up I have 1.1 mil rubles and 131kg of carry cap lol
SEVA will be in the name
merc SEVA ACE is my fav
how can i edit the keybinds for the mods i wanna disable that zoom thing i tried disabling free zoom but it didnt doo anything
gamma keybind fixes
open that folder, scripts folder and delete the free zoom script
ahh okay cool
Ssp 99 top gear until you find better. Your best bet is to go by the price of the gear. Although medium armors vary around the 50k, they mostly are specialized towards specific resistances.
Make sure you keep a few or more of all components so you can fix up the stuff. Save and reload to see if the armor is any good.
Another thing to remember is the armors are specialized, predominantly. So that ssp 99 isnt geared towards prolonged gun fights, but can holds it's own in small skirmishes.
I rocked a berril 5 m because i kept getting pushed around by mutants and i've yet to find better with rupture resistance.
WTF Is with the mechanized yard swamps mission? freaking impossible...
Theres like 20 military to 8 CS..?
are there places where the radiation is so high you cant go there at all in the early game? i'm trying to do an assassination mission on a monolith in limansk and physically cant get past the front house because of rads filling up in 5 seconds
You could proceed to another mission or find one of the medkits that get rid of rad really fast
I had 2 and used them go through high rad areas
I have a few of those, but I cant use those and also kill all the monolith with just a bolt action
it runs out and the rads fill up again
the target is in the construction site north of there, no way to lure him from that far
and my other kill target moved from army warehouses and is just hiding in rostock
Rostok has almost no rad?
yeah but its full of duty
Haha thats me
im merc
my early game traveling routes south are limited
another question then, is my best bet for a better rad helmet just killing someone hoping they drop one and trying to fix it up myself?
you could try using tihs
should let you travel from dead city to wild territory
Infact i walk with no headgear because my helmet has broken glass hud
Cant repair it yet
I did find a 26% ach-7ex
@warped ginkgo thanks for the mod, might resort to that if I cant find any other way to get some jobs done
I have some issues with keybinding after I reset the binds to default:
I bound crouch to C and my guy keeps shouting in bear each time I duck so how do I make him shut up
also pressing Z doesn't actually unjam my gun he just puts it away for a second
C is bind to the compainion wheel normally so it voices the option you select for your companions.
Do you guys play with Hardcore AI Aim? Is it fun or frustrating? Do you recommend?
Medium is for me
Its because of the chance for the ai to miss
Isnt hardcore like the ai never misses
Went through each option with my inspector gadget brand magnifying glass
only thing bound to C is crouch and there is no bind for companion orders
it works like H for hide BHS UI
it’s not in the options and so it does that by default no matter what else is bound to the key
which is holster for me on H
zamn
Then idk what
Check in mcm mods one by one
maybe its set there
Im not at my pc to check myself
It's bound to shout in a gamma keyfixes script. It's supposed to shout when you open the companion wheel. There are 3 or 4 scripts there, it's one that is called UI something
You gotta disable the voiced character addon to shut your character up.
Otherwise it's C button until you go into the addon and change somehow
You need to change dik_kc to the key you want for the companion wheel so he shouts when you open it
But some things or that addon might depend on something or patch so, check first, click on the addon and look for red marked addons, what is overwriting what.
Alternatively, change that key in the script to something you don't use and he 'll shout no more
Gamma keyfixes is at the end of the load order by the way. Just right click it and open in explorer.
I was unable to find it there
searched all the files in the folder for a mention of kC but nah
oh wait nvm
if(key == DIK_keys.DIK_C ) then --mouse wheel btn
just realized there isn't a single alphabet key on the board that the game doesn't use
and then you realize the Ukrainian keyboard layout is hardcoded into the console 
good look guessing what the _ key is 😄


How do you shout im curious
i wanna set the binding myself
I would love to shout mid battle
I set to same key as unjam so I double shout very angrily each time I have to clear a malfunction
Sorry, my bad, was citing the key from memory, yes, that's the line. If you put random shit there it won't play the shout either. I tried dik_keys.mouse4 and it doesn't shout (need to figure out how I mapped to mouse4 once before lol)
well you were 98% right so I'm thankful for the help
my issue is also that I don't know how to bind to any non letter key
if it's too annoying on unjam I'll set it to random keys
Have fun spamming it 
Sounds start again without finishing one
Check in user.ltx I think the companion wheel key is called custom18. I managed to bind the shout to mouse4 before, but I don't remember how I did it. Maybe use custom18 in the script and test it. When I get home I'll figure it out and let you know
If that works thank you when i try later
Is faster tooltips part of the modpack?
Is there a more in depth explanation how the artefacts work? I quite don't get the system
yes, but its own version called not so fast tooltips or something like that, its in the GAMMA addons
#│📚manual message if you have any specific questions, you can ask here 
I already found that, but it seems to not explain the whole system at all, so I thought I might be from a mod, which is explained more indepth somewhere else.
e.g. I have a spike artefact, which I can just equip. it doesn't give out any radiation and doesn't need a container.
but low durability
Thats a "junk" artifact, but because we have Perk Based Artifacts installed, they have perks
they lose durability everytime you use the perk
junk artifacts do not have radiation output, so you can equip them without a container
higher tier artifacts dont have those perk but actual resistance bonuses
yes, with the artifact melter
cool, thanks for helping out

I'm going install gamma on a friends pc, which he also has hooked up to his new 4k OLED tv. Are there textures packs with higher than default textures? Especially the sky and emission textures.
Is it okay if i update my g.a.m.m.a version and i start playing from previous save, or should i start game over again?
Hmm, installing new textures should be no problem, so you can look for higher res ones on moddb etc., but it may look weird with the enb
should be fine with a previous save
Cool, thanks.
yes, that should be always ok, unless grok says otherwise i guess, but make sure to keep igi tasks disabled, since it breaks your existing save if you did not have it before
It's fine
Even with RC2 it will be fine (but a new save is recommended)
The only two things that shouldn't be enabled and disabled midrun are Igi Tasks and Mags Redux
so how exactly do i get my hands on a better detector other than i assume ranking up ecologists and somehow advanced tools
cant seem to find the latter
advanced tools are relatively easy to find, even in the south. I got like 3 from army warehouses and also found one in truck cemetry and wild territory. Otherwise Barman sells bear detector from like 1000 goodwill i think
well i got unidscovred stashes are empty and only ones that yield toolkits i find are the green triangle stashes and so far ive had multiple drug kits, multiple basics, 1 gunsmithing but no luck with anything else
barman is what faction or hes his own thing and you need to do his quests to rank up?
barman is loner faction
keep looking in stashes, youll find one eventually 
guess i need to do a few more loner sidequests
yea white stashes never yield em, heading to red forest now
i dont get it
combine_1.ps(96,4): error X3017: cannot implicitly convert from 'const float3' to 'float4'
shader compilation failed
i was playing fine yesterday, shut down the pc and go to sleep. Today i turn on the game and it fails to compile shaders no matter if i delete the cache or the ltx
something connected to beef's nvg es patches or enhanced shaders
poor old olivius went mad and I had to put him down, anyone know a console command or something that could bring him back?
how did he go mad? unless you had a gun aimed at his face or you are disguised as a military he should not attack you as a merc
really i have to reinstall the modpack everytime i want to play
why
i really doubt its random, more like you dont know what causes it yet
Cause you edited graphics....
You can just copy paste what's in GAMMA RC1/. Grok's Modpack Installer/GAMMA/modpack_patches to reset the graphics settings
Then you delete shader cache and you are good to go
ok
If you disable some shaders add-on, know what you are doing....
nope
Then you shouldn't have any issue
ive been playing for 3 days fine and today i turn the game and shaders fail
no changes nothing
Delete mods folder > complete install > delete shader cache > don't touch graphics settings
It should be good for any number of days
Just delete shader cache every day to keep the performances up
Because they tend to fuck them up automatically after some time
The number of people that told me "but I did as #old-how-to " but omitted some details is crazy

the only thing i followed was the #old-framerate-optimisation
"i have gamma with no changes but it wont work" turns out they had HD models added to it and expected it to not cause issues
i did this and now i get
- loading script utils_xml.script
- loading script axr_main.script
FATAL ERROR
[error]Expression : sz < (tgt_sz - 1)
[error]Function : IReader::r_string
[error]File : FS.cpp
[error]Line : 467
[error]Description : Dest string less than needed.
stack trace:
no shader error. Straight up the exe terminates itself
So you did change the graphics
I think SMAA can cause an issue with shaders
I AM wearing a military outfit but everyone saw me wear it and the game said it was cool
when I got to bandit base only two of the bandits started shooting at me and one was olivius, everyone was okay with my murdering them too

hmmm
disguises do be weird sometimes. I dont have enough experience with them to say for sure.
Another lesson in why we save often
its not a disguise if he got the notif that it didnt disguise him
they must have went mad
I did accidentally empty like 6 shotgun shells into my bandit buddy before making it to the base I wonder if that had something to do with it
(he didn't die btw)
LOL
if you done enough disguise in the game you would have realized that it does not just bug out that easily 
ofc...
We got our answer
"i shot one of their friends but then they started shooting me idk why"
huh
damn so its probably corrupted
just delete user ltx
then the shaders fail to compile
if i delete it
So you mean after i reinstall now
i shouldnt follow anything in #old-framerate-optimisation ?
and then delete shader cache, dont change graphics settings from gamma defaults
you can disable cvfx and shaders but dont change graphics settings
they cause issues
you eat too much numbah 9s ? being serious tho please when you ask questions about gamma give the full context so we can help (if there is anything we can help with that is)
i mean the dude I shot was cool with it after he slapped me once for it
just dont shoot friendlies
and then complain about them shooting back
its that simple
grass, render distance and quality but quality can still cause weird UI issues
idk what else
i think you can disable lighting settings, or change them? but i am not sure
hey, someone else is crashing while loading a new game? i installed everything like 3 times now, with a fresh anomaly folder and i keep crashing without any error message. Any help?
anomaly/appdata/logs
post the log in #old-bugs
ok, thanks @graceful iron
my bad my bad, it happened far away but in the same zone I didn't connect the dots at first
guy I shot had it coming though he walked right through a room infested by enemies straight to me
is there a way to make the radiation furtherer north stronger?
dynamic radiation addon in gamma is already doing that
im trying to get it like arszis overhaul though where wind is a factor. ive gotten arszis to work with gamma but it crashes when i open my inventory for some reason
Hello, is there a way to access companion "true" inventory? I've already tried trade and trade all options in the debug menu but it always shows an empty inventory. Thanks
https://streamable.com/re0tn2
does anyone know what makes this sound or what causes this to play

or wait was it burer?
idk man
its one of those 2
ah very nice, thanks
thanks
my game crashes on fresh start, is this normal?
what do u mean by that?
open the moddb website
and it will tell you if you are blocked
it flags people as bots and blocks them for a few minutes-1 hour
downloading too many mods really fast apparently does that
i dont see any block msg, i can see all the addons
okay, go to your installer and update gamma data and then update gamma installation
keep integrity check ticked
wait
actually
before you do anything
right click on this mod and select reinstall
what does it say?
okay try doing the update method i told you about. if that does not install this correctly you will have to go to moddb and download the addon manually and install it
ok, will do. thank you. will give u feed back if it helps
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/cinemavfx3-6 the mod page if you end up having to do the manual install
@willow hawk seems the cvfx update is not being recognized by mo2?
i am updating and will check if this is whats happening or something else
it installed fine to me
oh
i did Update GAMMA data, then Update GAMMA installation, now it moved it from bottom to right location but still has X, game worked, no crash

can you go to downloads folder and delete the cvfx 3.6 folder in there and try doing an update again?
just updated from a previous version and cvfx installed correctly with no issues. 
or you can download the addon first manually from moddb and then put it in the downloads folder and then do the update, this should make sure its downloaded correctly
is cvfx 3.6 supposed to be here? GAMMA\STALKER G.A.M.M.A. RC1\downloads
yes
ummm i dont see it, but game worked somehow 
can you download the addon from moddb and then put it in the downloads?
and then run the update
will do
running the game without it might cause visual bugs if the installer somehow messed up with the older version
it completely removed it actually..
so i did complete fresh install 3h ago, following instructions, this is my 2nd time installing. few weeks ago it was flawless. didnt add anything. went to start the game. it crashed after picking loadout. tried about 10 times, ik it can be little wobbly at times. nothing helped. then i came here to ask for help. did the update data, update installation u told me. it moved cvfx from bottom with red cross to correct location with red cross. game then started normally. came to tell u it worked but still had red cross. went to find it in downloads it wasnt there. now am trying to manually install. lets see what happens
okay 
manually drag n dropped it, still has red cross
the red cross of doom
i will try to play, to see how it goes. maybe its little confused
drag and dropped it in downloads and then did an update?
ah i forgot to do update this time, let me do it
Can someone open the cinematic VFX archive and screenshot it ?
Install process instructions changes are always hit and miss
seems someone else had it install just fine
it still has red cross after update, will try to play for a while and test

there are (bonuses) in the archive
not sure if thats always been the case with previous updates
This is the old one
https://i.imgur.com/iI8nSEm.png
anyone know if theres any mods that overwrite the LTX files for the helmets? o want to nerf my current helm
Inside the archive what's the first folder name ?
Is that directly this folder structure ?
Cinematicvfx3.6.7zip>Cinematicvfx3.67>Then all these folders are inside
Edited
Unless you are asking me to open 00. core?
No no
so i got arszis radiation over haul to work with GAMMA just needed to put it at the end of the load order priority
doesn't gamma already have a reworked arszi radiation?
it doesnt have the wind effect though
thats always where you have to put any addon you add to gamma
ok soooo i have some news
?
cvfx 3.6 is still under red cross but its working, campfires, gunplay from shots and things are working but i have real bad frame skips on campfire. but its working
buuut
stutters from campfires are normal with cvfx
that was with fresh options in MO2, i noticed that my optional picks got reset, like magsredux, Igi tasks, NPCloot and NPCs cant see through foliage. went back to turn them on and game crashed instantly after picking loadout. did little test with each option turned on and off individually and they all work but Igi weird tasks framework. when its turned on it crashes my game on loading screen after loadout picks
is this known?
it was completely fresh start, not load save
you cant disable (or have an addon disabled) mid playthrough, so after updating make sure to enable your optionals and any extras again
i just installed the game, have no saves 🤣
i am kind of confused
you can not start a fresh save with gamma defaults?
default mod list i mean
ye so i tried now again, all optional mods work, i did test for them all individually and then in combination. they all work. but when i pick Igi WTF alone or in combination with others, with fresh start it just crashes
does gamma work without any mods added to it? optionals are included in (mods added) as well

am so sorry about my eng. ik answering stupid people can get really frustrating 🤣
game works fine as it is default even with red crossed cvfx, then i tried with optional addons and noticed that they all worked but Igi WTF was causing my game to crash after picking loadout.
but who needs WTF anyway 🤣
thank you so much for helping me, i can play now
❤️
how long have you guys been working on GAMMA?
it's brilliant I love it
not just because I enjoy following exact instructions the game is good too
ah yes apparently following the exact instructions to install a whole pack of 270 addons is bad? its the only way to not mess up the whole thing 
I wasn’t being sarcastic
wat
I do like instructions
they are in combination with feet doctors that fix u up after u step on one 🤣

but yeah i have done moding stalker few time over pass 5 years and it was always days and days of work just to get it working. GAMMA is sent from heaven
it was me getting confused over what was the problem, i understood the cvfx part but didnt understand the WTF addon part causing issues even on new saves. dont worry about it
do you have the last installer update btw @small schooner
its the gamma RC2 v3 installer and its downloaded from #📢announcements
It's mainly a solo project
Based on the effort of the modding community
But I'm the sole responsible for the load order (easy part if you ask me), updater and installer development (that was hard) and fine tunning and modding every detail of the game so everything works well (that's fucking hard) and fixing all the bugs (that's hard and boring).
Cr3pis made the icon and the logo of GAMMA and helps me with textures edits
Rubra joined the team to port new gun models for the weapon pack of GAMMA
But yeah it's mainly a single man work
cinematic vfx seems to install just fine, not sure what was causing it to have a red cross for hakuna
grok man make good mods
grok man do gods work
will have to see how this update affects performance
is there nothing the creator of cvfx can do to deal with the stutters some of the effects cause?
turn down dynamic and static objects render to around 60-70%
i personally dont have any issues with the addon, i cant be the one speaking about the stutters as i have a decent pc
i get them rarely
The worst are the toxic anomalies
when they are activated they do eat fps
So...I probably sunk 30 hours into the last playthrough and i didn't come across the artifact smelter. is there a specific way you need to come across it?
Gotcha much appreciateds
I am experiencing CTDs that force me to restart my computer each time I have them, I am using an AMD card (5700 XT).
How can I avoid this?
DX10-AVX
what is the crash saying? any error appears ? if not get the crash log from anomaly/appdata/logs
post it in bugs
#│🔧troubleshooting message you can try this fix in troubleshooting
for AMD GPUs
if one of artifact hunter guys die, can i continue it by getting quest from other one ?
each one of them has a different set of quests
thats kurva moment
they should not die unless the player shoots/attacks them
npcs killed him 😦
mercs
what?
how
they are ecologists
they should be friendly with mercs

@split copper why was an ecologist quest giver fighting mercs?
are you playing on warfare?
yes
im not on warfare
just dynamic relations
i added a mod to make mercs friendly with loners but hate bandits
you cant experience the story/quests how they are intended if you are going to play with dynamic relations
and why do you put that in questions?
i see but i got friendly with military which is nice
there is no reason for that
you cant buy stuff from them anyways
all dynamic relations does in gamma is add funny factor if thats even a thing
well idm if i cant buy anything
but it helped me less suffer when i had to do quest in cordon
and im about finish the game anyway, i just need exoskeleton to raid npp
you do you i guess, its just a pretty stupid way to play story mode if you care about doing quests/story stuff
well the military isnt supposed to attack rookie village cause lore wise sid pays them off but it doesnt really work
it never did
theres a add on to fix that though
stop typing random stuff in the questions channel please
addons go in #old-suggest
just extra spice yk
now i just wonder where to get merc nosorog
is there a certain rhyme or reason to green stash locations or they just random?
since RNG is not too kind and atm its giving me 5x basic, 3x gunsmithing, 3x drug making kits and nothing more so crafting (specifically anything beyond a echo detector) has stalled
Every x task > random position
Convert your basic kits to advanced
Also check white stashes
Get all the stashes
yea im basically at that point, tho white stashes havent yielded a single kit yet
It's not uncommon
def not gonna go gambling anytime soon
green stashes are just better, higher value and have a chance for more than one tool kit. not always better but they are better in general
ive looted my fair share of white stashes that are marked and have yet to see one, but green is guaranteed but its good know white has a chance
The scout for last dawn quest is supposed to be dead or alive? I can't find him ftm, it's night and the quest is timed ahah
further north means better loot and also means you can start finding advanced tool kits and the furthest north means you can find expert kits
the clear sky quest?
funny, i did one in jupiter, then died afterwards and save was wiped, but it gave me my 3rd gunsmithing kit :S
Kezriax, on my previous run I did not even see advanced tools and had to craft it. On my new run, advanced tools were in the second stash I checked in Warehouses
Yes Okay
RNG be like that
he is dead, you can find him north of the northern road in swamps
Aldourien wrote he was near the central north campfire.
west of the machine yard(the military base with a mg)
somewhere around where my courser is
Great !
the campfires
Thank you! For reference for the others who will look for Crutch the scout !
But the quest did not advance. I wonder if I must do something else.
Can I see the exact value of my radiation/hunger/thirst and sleep?
i think you have to go back to spore? he gives the quest right?
hunger/thirst/sleep are in the inventory and radiation has a bar now thats just above the stamina bar
but not exact values
actually you can still use the gieger counter to see how much radiation
its bound to 8 by default
thanks
Well Spore has nothing to tell me. I have an issue then..
did you search the body and take whatever item the quest wants?
I found him again and this time he had a sort of PDA on him !
@solid berry ok, so to change the keybind to a mouse button so the PC talks when you open the companion wheel, you rebind the wheel button ingame to a mouse button you like, and then open
STALKER G.A.M.M.A. RC1\mods\G.A.M.M.A. Keybinds fixes\gamedata\scripts\ui_addon_companion_quick_menu.script
and replace the first if sentence for this:
if(key == DIK_keys["MOUSE_4"]) then --mouse wheel btn
in this case it's mouse4 button, it should work with others
oh shit, I found a better way
what is causing my pack and character lock up preventing me from doing anything?
busy hands
ahh but i was getting busy hands with out mags it mainly happened when i was opening my inventory
Don't use the backpack animation
how can i edit the stats on the helmets? i assume tried to edit it in the DB unpack but it didnt do anything so i assume it was being over written
use the unpacker to get the files
then search for the helmet.ltx
after you're done editing the values inside that file, create a new folder 'gamedata' 'configs' and the rest of the location for that file, and then transform that folder into a .rar and load it up into mo2
or just search in MO2 the file
and edit it there, more easily haha
i have done that and edited them but for some reason the edits arent taking. thats why assumed the helmet LTX was being over written
like how THAP over writes the armor stats
i think you need to modify the mod_system_gamma
since it is a DLTX file and it has higher priority than the normal ltx
no idea
ahh yeah those only affect the helmets im trying to edit the gp5 mask
i removed those rebalances but still for some reason the edits dont work curious if i move the helm LTX to THAP
@warped ginkgo so i dragged the helmet ltx to thap rework and the edits worked!
agro from the ecos artefact hunting task
also shooting yourself means you got too close to a psy installation or a psy anomaly
for psy anomalies and mutants you need more psy protection
helmets give the most of that
so look for a helmet with decent psy and repair it
how do i know what helmet will give me a good psy protection, if its broken?
you can also increase your psy protection for a period of time using psy-block and some other drugs
description?
not really, description is not going to help
you can either have debug mode menu and look at the stats of helmets there or you have some memory of what helmet/outfit is good for what. a mix of both can do also
thanks ❤️
there is a page for helmets
hmm graphite armor too
i have been using this for a while its a decent early-mid game helmet if you can find one
you can use medium armor repair kit to repair this one
you have to craft one in gamma, almost impossible to find it but can spawn on stalkers
exactly i still have basic tools
if you are getting too many basics you can craft an advanced one using 5 basic
i like to use mechanics task to fin tool kits, idk but they have a higher chance to spawn on stashes with tasks like that turned on
could be just dumb luck cuz i dont think the task changes anything
yo how do you get to this part of the Red Forest
it's not one of the stalkers in the underground section
isnt that the mining tunnels where sin normally stay at?
I thought it was, and one of my tasks was there, but I couldn't find the other two in the tunnels
I need to kill one of them, and I got some PDA chatter saying they were "west of the open field"
oh... i think he is in a transition between 2 areas
its a kill the stalker mission?
you might have to wait for him to move from there or die to something else, could take a few hours - a few days ingame
but that kind of does not make any sense, why would they have a transition through the mines
i managed to nab the laptop with a psy block and a scientific filter, than YEEET myself out of the building trough the window
and now on underground looking for strelok... shit this place is terrifying
would tacticool scopes work with gamma?

oh i over looked it
hey 242 mods things get over looked lol
yes yes sure
is it shader based scopes that causes the eye relief blackness?
it gives scopes some sort of color/shadow changes, not sure what you mean by eye relief blackness
this what i mean?
the inner circle of the scope having black?
is there a way to disable it?
my game crashed becuse a fucking burer 😦
how? lol
guess i will be looking for strelok tomorrow
i dont know
i was on the agropron undergrounds
he attacked while i tried running away[
i guess he yeeted me from the game to make me go to sleep xD
how do i see the logs?
try disabling these 2 i guess
anomaly/appdata/logs
ltx file
drag and drop it in the bugs channel
my original anomaly folder right?
i hope thats enough x?D
so when i disabled them two my screen was black lol
delete shader cache and try again
burer attacks and then the game just crashes?
manually? cause i tried deleting it in the launcher
i guess, and try this if that does not work
since i think the shader scopes is still a part of shader software, i guess
that didnt work as well
idk then, i am not even sure what you are trying to disable from the scopes but for now you will have to keep the shader scopes enabled
wait
i think i found it
@gritty oar
yeah ?
nah that didnt work either could the delete shader cache button not work all the way? like if i deleted it manually in the appdata?
they should be doing the same, both the tick in the launcher and manually deleting it
its a big list of tied addons, just enable them back. idk what else we can try
ill ask grok about tommorrow i remember him helping someone with it. i drop fps when i pan to fast is the reason for removal
so whats the diff between arx artifact reno vs gamma and the goals of each so to speak? i just got bear detector so hopefully will start seeing better quality+rarer artifacts...right? 2part question i guess
does enabling the mods in the GAMMA Disabled section cause problems?
They're disabled for a reason.. most of them will cause issues except the foliage one which is just OP
Which I guess is an issue If you're invisible to npcs in any small bush
Tysm
If you want to change it up look at the optional mods or some of the mods coming in RC2, which some you can technically add now to play around with them
There's a delayer, it's fine
It's much better than gt or Arszi task 
It just needs to be polished a bit more
Not sure if it's just me but the last 3 update files/changes (before the one with cfx) the updater isnt detecting. I have the most up-to-date apparently?
Yeah cause I didn't update the github version because I had more changes to push
Is this normal ? 🙂
Did you update GAMMA data ?
Hi! I'm not sure if I broke something but I can't see my body/limbs anymore?

How to raise power level on exosuit?
Okay nvm I figured it out
One more question can I turn down volume of exosuit? Like when I'm walking its sounds strange
I did, yeah. I did as usual rearrange mods in their order, etc ... everything seems to work fine
MCM menu
Exo sound something
Which One is it ?
Isn't that a quest item ?
Like you need to bring it to a specific anomaly field ?
Exactly
I saved in the anomaly field with the device in hands, reload, quest solved itself magically xD
Maybe was a question of time ?
Save reload helps yes
Most likely
When in doubt > open console save then reload last save
hehe kk, thank you !
Skat-9 unmodified armor weights 13 kgs, right ? Can someone confirm me this ? I think the upgrade that reduces Armor weight by 5 kilos doesnt work.
In case of companions making me stuck, what do I do?
J key will teleport you mates nearby maybe this can unstuck you, also you can give them an order to stay far
You can also get very use to using the wait command 😉
used to using.....I dunno which is correct here 😦
That's to avoid it in the first place
Then J it is. I keep them in spot if i KNOW place is tight I am going into
gotcha
Yeah, tell them to wait outside next time 🙂
For longest time the anger when I would be done trading with sid and say "dam they are behind me huh?"
Spend next minute screaming GTFO
I did the renaming of MCM menu but is there a way to save my in game settings?
Every update and I have to do them all over and I do a lot of tweaks in settings so it can become a chore
Don't delete mods folder ?
Make sure your folder is loaded after the default MCM one ?
Anyone knows ?
Ahh ok kool Grok.I had that weird bug where I lost psi bar,ammo counters and companion icons and so deleted the mods folder save for my few mods I have added.
It fixed it and HUD functions again 🙂
Can you point to what folder to not delete that has my settings?
Just to make myself clear here I have my MCM settings saved by the renaming of the MCM file.But what can I save to save my in game settings.Stuff like resolution,fov etc.
Weird cause its not a new game so the in game settings should not have reset to defaults
Can I give medical aid to downed enemies? And gain good will?
You can help neutral or friendly stalkers if you have any medkits.
You won't gain faction goodwill though, only personal goodwill with that stalker.
Can I disable/lower the high pitch noise made when aggroing a controller? Not sure if it happens when you aggro, might be the attacks, holy shit that hurts my ears IRL really bad
GAMMA\mods\3-Soundscape_Overhaul_3.0\gamedata\sounds\monsters\controller\controller_tube_prepare.ogg
you can replace this file with either a quiet sound, that is about the same length, or replace it with any other sound you like really
yeh
his psy attack was soo strong that he made the game shoot itself in the face
so just got the Knot, what exactly is this lucifer artifact it mentions and its effects?

the description explains the whole thing?
nah seriously, I dont know what it does exactly, but you can probably find out via debug
its a "lucifer" artefact, you sign a pact with the "devil" or the zone in this case. you become really powerful but it slowly drains your life if you dont feed it other artefacts
mb sorting put the luci artifact at the bottom of my inventory
also if you equip it you cant remove it
from what i remember it increases defense and also increases damage by the player
i never used it but i seen someone post about it here
didnt see that part just said its always active even in backpack, overcharge with deathlamp change to tear you apart etc
i just glanced at it but didnt wanna get jumped while in yantar, sounds interesting enough, good to know there are some interesting artifacts other than what ive seen so far
Also didnt help the lucifer artifact isnt tagged with the artifact tags for sorting plus but thats a non-issue really
i think its tagged with the same tag as the anomalous bread 
anomalous bread is always moved to bottom of the inventory
Hey guys I got a question, got this mission from a guy named Pirogov, he wants me to find a dead stalker and take his PDA, the quest is not marked on the map, and Pirogov just says to look for him in the dump, so I assumed it's in the garbage area, problem is I ran on the whole map and didn't find anything, anyone knows where to look?
Picture of the mission
under the flea market
?
Cheers man, I found him
this will be addressed in the story line rewrite aswell 
Can anyone tell me where in the settings you can disable batteries for exo suits?
disable these two mods
ty. I was looking at in game settings...
Make sure though, that you do not have any exo batteries in your inventory and are not wearing an exo, since that could crash your game upon loading, at least it happened to me the last time
ok thanks
soo i found a animal tracker that was dropped when i killed a rat thing what do i do with it?
its for a task the scientists in Yantar/Jupiter give you, check your quest tab
should only spawn when you have one of those quests active
thats the odd part i didnt have any quest for it
how do updates to gamma work? are they automatic or do you have to reinstall something?
You go to the gamma launcher
Click on 'update gamma data'
It Will download anf install some data
Then you click
Update gamma installation
And It Will check what addons are updated and download the newer versions
And the ones that didnt update ir Will only check integrity
does that mess up your current save files?
No, unless Grok says so. Just keep IGI tasks disabled, if you havent had it on before, and remember you cannot uninstall mags on existing saves
Even RC2 will be compatible with your old save (most probably)
this can happen, just dont pick up the tracker
anomaly bug
is there a way to disable shader based scopes without breaking the game? @willow hawk ?
Quick question about Mags Redux, does GAMMA contain a patch for arena? Do you spawn with loaded mags or with any mags at all in the arena?
Yes
If you want to disable just the magnification open the console and type scope_factor 1, that way you will keep the scope fog and blur on the outside
If you want to disable it completely type in r__fakescope 0
sweeet thank you
Why do you want to do that ?
Yeah what @thorny hazel said
But keep in mind that most of the effects are here for a better progression on scopes
early scopes are small + bad effect
end game scopes are big with almost no effect
can i edit the zoom of a scope? the mark 8 is a lpvo and it feels like its got a x8 mag
on some rifles you can zoom in and out with the scroll wheel, on others it doesn't work
i figured it out its the scope_factor command
but with those you can usually switch to a canted red dot or iron sights with V by default
some scopes have variable zoom , some dont 
yeah, but he was asking about the mark 8, which should have variable zoom
it has variable zoom on the dvl but not svd
the scope_factor is just how much the inside of the scope is zoomed compared to the outside
#old-bugs i guess?
wasnt sure it was a bug lol
but i managed to fix it but the odd part when i changed the facctor it made the mouse sensitivity really low when i ads
anyone know which pack to disable so I can rid of the dated looking outfits textures looking like fresh out of 1963
Cyka
you mean the beautiful and handcrafted DICK models?

they add immersion for sure but not my cup of tea since they look super dated

Thank you
i am curious if theres a way to maybe make the boots smaller everyone is wearing a size 20 lol


it's like Shaq came into the zone dropped a care package
and dipped
change shoe size of 3000+ DICK models individually 
but only in shaqs size lol
damn if I do this I have to start a new game because reloading my save is instant CTD
F
if you do what?
removing DICK addon?
Yeah sadly
I followed the instructions and when I load my old save it CTD
and a new save works?
yes new saves fine
Best case scenario speedrun to my current area and use console commands to give myself current kit
Only use FVM
is it duxs that makes the boots super large? also when i changed the magnification in the command for shaders my mouse sensitivity tanked
No it's vanilla models
It's just that FVM fixes that but it contains much less models
isnt FVM part of GAMMA?
Saving/pressing escape freezes the game for 5-10 seconds, is this normal for AMD GPUs?
Save and quit and reopen the game
Is there a bug with the nightvision? doesn't work fore me
you need to long press N, tapping adjusts the night vision brightness
thx man!
is dltx bullet hole decals in gamma? if not could i add it?
it's planned for RC2
ahh could i add it now without issues??
put it at end of loader and try
okay cool
Just be sure it doesn't modify ammo wm_size
Btw I added the Cvfx decals
Which should have a similar effect
is that in the latest update? cause ive not updated since monday
cause i have cinema vfx disabled due to fps dips
What is the addon that shows what is updated instead of just a blinking pda symbol? You know like arriving in Cordon and it shows the subject "Cordon".
Thats vanilla Anomaly
I did an update and now all my DLTX mods are unchecked and after load order. I have nothing under 179-DLTX, move the DLTX mods there and check?
there should be a new update of those addons version 31
there is just the 30 version after end of load order, no 31 DLTX versions
fresh install?
Just tick and move
Er, no. Vanilla only has the blinking pda symbol. I found the mod so thanks anyway.
does the ghilie suit overhaul work with gamma?
yall ever used the ghillie in the game?
the ghillie overhaul is kinda ccool. it replaces the packpack slot for the ghillie
is there a better looking ghillie texture than this?
you play vanilla?
Question, would deleting any of the unused mods affect the game?
Are you using Nav 4k masks? You simply instaled or you had to change some configs?
i think he is just showing off how cool it looks, but it would have been better to put in screenshots or loadouts instead
if you are trying to clear storage space you can delete any old addon versions you can find in the gammaRC1/downloads folder, just careful to not delete any current addons. deleting unused addons is not going to do much since they are mostly really small ones and they will be redownloaded when you update anyways
Do companion stalkers increase in rank? Like as the travel with you, kill other stalkers and mutants they go from like rookie -> trainee -> experienced etc
Yeah... I am trying to get some space... Though when you say addons do you mean the files in the mod folder?
How can you tell which mod is old?
they have numbers or dates in their names
numbers are versions
just keep the latest ones of each mod
yes, slowly but surely
... Just downloaded and installed yesterday... So no dice there. 
And the next version is gonna be even larger, huh?
more addons so yes
Welp, time to bite the bullet, I guess. Thanks for the help, appreciate it.
Delete downloads folder, but you won't be able to update
Time to clean your C/User/name/Downloads folder

But yeah to have the fully functional GAMMA pack it requires space ... That's the cost for automatic updatability
Is it possible to find other mutant parts on a different mutants e.g controller brain tissue on a psydog
Alright thought it was a bug but i was unsure
Psy-dogs have (as the name eludes to) psychic abilities similar to, but weaker than, the Controller. Which is why you find Controller Brain Tissue on Psy-dogs.
is it just me or do batteries last almost forever now
the flashlight I started with is still at 100% power and I've never switched the battery
They shouldn't. Does your PDA/Detector/RF Receiver drop in power?
yeah but still way slower than I remember
are updates in #📢announcements instant? Like can i do the update gamma thing in the launcher and i'll instantly have all the new stuff in #📢announcements ?
Not necessarily. Look at #📢development to see what the latest addition to the modpack is.
Yup
But the best is to check #📢development yes

4k nav mask?
Can someone please tell me where tf the riflemans pda can be found in the red forest? I am out of money and ammo, been searching for hours
In a tunnel, behind the tower near the Limansk bridge.
wtf... I searched that whole area... ugghhh
Hold down the Use key and search the pavement inside the tunnel.
ill head back over there. ty


is there a way to have grass density some what high without killing fps?
Try disabling grass shadows.
And lower the render distance
ive done both. i have a 2700x 32 gigs of ram a 2060 and playing at 1440p
2060 have 6gigs of vram, that might be the issue at 1440p
Dunno how much it uses but still
yeah but at 1080p its basically the same fps
Then it might be your CPU, I got 1600x and it tanks in most scenerios and considering 2000 series is not much of an improvment, that might be it.
What GHz boost is your single core?
im doing the precision over clock that amd sets
it says up to 4.3, it's good actually but not much of a strong CPU against intel at it's time. I'm betting on your CPU bottlenecking on the grass issue
because you said it's the same performance at 1080
Yes, WPO sometimes crashes your executable when you kill Mechanics.
It's a known issue.
Is to teach a lesson to people
You gib techy boi kits, he shower you with RU and kits to fix ye guns.
You kill techy boi, you no fix ye guns.
if my quest item for the lost squad doesent spawn on the body, can I just spawn it in?
Which lost squad is that? Radiant task to look for a frequency?
Share your crash log in #old-bugs
As well as the version of GAMMA (GAMMA RC1/. Grok's Modpack Installer/version.txt)
no
You can't. The PDA is too specific for debug to be spawned.
The corpse is somewhere in the area, it might be further away from the rest of the team.
so the only corpse I have found is on top of a tower in truck cemetery, the other ones are nearby definitely?
Yes. There's supposed to be at least four corpses in total.
Anyone know the issue behind why my discord rich presence isn't showing on the status
ok thanks, guess ill just need to scour the place
You may have disabled the feature in Discord itself.
The overlay you meant? This has been going on for me for some time since I got GAMMA xd
not that important of a problem, just wanna know if i somehow can fix it myself
the game's showing up in my status bar right now
You have to add your Stalker game to the list of games discord is monitoring like this
It's on, but yeah I think it's a problem on discord's part
Don't worry it's not that important
Why are you asking about it if it is not important?.. 
never hurts to ask
Reputation is worsened when fighting in the arena, is that normal?
You should avoid the arena in general, it has a tendency to soft-lock or crash.
😦
gamma is not balanced or fixed for the arena, yet
After the fight it should be back to normal ?
First fights are fine. End fights, no
ik
seems as though
What is the difference? What is considered an end fight?
I haven't gotten to that one
Abandon the Arena until further notice.
Besides..
Arena pays out pennies compared to delivery tasks for random NPCs. 
yeah but it's a gun fight, it's fun
True
But arena can be farmed from day 1
It's like easy 25k roubles
Play some blackjack and there you go

Easy medical supplies
doing early quests while staying out of combat is not that hard either for the first day
Or axes.. 
I am clueless when it comes to progression (part of the beauty of the first playthrough), I have hoarded lots of weapon parts so far, but I don't know how to move forward.
What is a good guide in order to smooth my experience (aside from #│📚manual which is basic)? Been rather bumpy lately...
Rank progression will be reduced btw
breh... i am on day 17 ingame and i am just expert...
I think that currently you can get top 1 in the zone very fast
How!? 
Nope
I'm Master or Legend after ten-ish days.
i thought you already mentioned something about it
Yeah but I didn't implement it

He has mentioned it, but not implement- yeah.
Skill issue. 
How many stalkers did you kill ?
Not that rank matters much though.
It helps unlocking armors
i am not in the game currently but last time i checked i had 200 stalkers and 200 mutants
Hmmm 
progressive outfit loot @tidal raft
unless you change gameplay difficulty settings
wait let me get the exact statistics
nvm i didnt notice i reached master today
maybe i took so long cuz i am a failure 
it was taking me longer than what it used to so i assumed grok already changed the rank gains
I see why. You're low on Task completions.
oh..
i guess i did more looting than questing
i was trying to do quests all over the zone for freedom/duty/clearsky/ecologists
but that meant less quests done overall
Yes, how you added this Hood to the Ghillie Suit?
anybody here finish the Hip quests?
Yep, what's going on?

was wondering a few things.
I'm about to turn her first quest in, does she lose the stuff i have her carrying when she leaves? Is she available as companion when it is all finished?
that was a couple...
Not sure about equipment, but she does become a permanent companion at the end.
Well.. Permanently available as a companion.
when u say...okay, so i can dismiss her, then pick her back up is what you mean?
Yes.
does she gain experience doing her quests?
she gains experience by killing stalkers/mutants. all companions do
is see she gains experience, was wondering if it gets a boost, or if she actually ranks up
Not that I know of. She gains it normally like any other companion.
all companions in anomaly have the same set of skills...
they just have different weapons/gear/carry weight/toughness
i shouldnt say that. She does fine. I was confusing rank points without mission points added.
shame it doesn't pool those points, or at least give her a little taste. I can see not pooling, else it will negate my efforts while simultaneously making me compete with her for top stalker.
ah well, thanks for answers.
There are different ai levels
Rookie bandits vs top level military are different
they have different aim levels? or some other skills?
would hope for some kind of proficiency associated with rank. Seems the elites can ping my head pretty well compared to the lowlies.
I never play with companions willingly, so I cannot tell much about their abilities.
ᴼᵗʰᵉʳ ᵗʰᵃⁿ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ᵗʰᵉʸ ᵃʳᵉ ᵈᵒᵍˢʰᶦᵗ.. 
Different aim and Pathfinding abilities it seems
@tidal raft you still around?
i cant launch? i dont have any red flags but doesnt launch when i press run
check in satlker/appdata/logs/xray_aleksa.txt
I check back sometimes, what's up?
can you launch anomaly through the exe ?
let me try
did you get a new anomaly folder for gamma? or was it modified before?
did you get any error while installing?
no
does mo2 look like this? any errors here?
active addons will probably be 238. unless i missed any updates with new addons 
237 addons and no error
