they will spawn after a while and only when you are not inside any base

[rotund moss]

i got visited by a monolith squad during an egghead run once

bitch asses where stacked af

so yeah they are real

but unless you got realy bad standing or over 1million R i dont realy think you have any real chance to encounter them

[graceful iron]

there is but its really small, as i said a lot of small factors

the bounty squad mod changes this and has its own mcm

[strange moon]

Indeed

[junior badge]

Hi, i have some problems with mission for profesor chernow in army warhause, i need find 3 art i have 2 but in bloodsuckers vilige fire anomaly art dont spawn, i go there right after taking task and only one i found was cristal, i wait 4 days ans 2 emision and stil this art for mision is not in there, i dont now what to do 😦

[graceful iron]

its further south in the village, not where the marker is

have your detector out and walk around, it should be in one of the fire anomaly houses there

[junior badge]

ok thx for help 😄

[dense blaze]

I have a quick question: i'm just reading the manual here on discord and i was wondering if the added storylines in this modpack are the actual only storylines in the game, or they are just additional content? For example, are the vanilla questlines such as Living Legend, Mortal Sin etc still available? I wanted to do the Hollow Boundaries UNISG questline on a new playthrough with this modpack installed, but maybe thats not possible?

[lapis silo]

The additional storylines are just that - extra questlines you can play. They are completely optional, so you can skip them or play them, they are not tied to the main storyline.

So yes, you can still play the LTTZ questline and the UNISG one, no problem.

[dense blaze]

Awesome! Thanks

[vocal gulch]

any way to decrease npc sight through bushes ?

[lapis silo]

in the Disabled tab. It can cause the NPC to behave very stupid I've heard, but I haven't had any issues with it yet

[mellow canopy]

I tried it yesterday and wondered why Hip was not returning fire. She was behind big bushes and it turns out she was affected too.

So I disabled it again.

[vocal gulch]

yeah its on

[mellow canopy]

But I hate these bushy maps. It seems unfair.

[vocal gulch]

not used hip so cannot say about that

[lapis silo]

Huh fair, I've sent her away by now. Her footsteps are annoying me too much

[mellow canopy]

I tell her to stealth often since she's super loud indeed ! We need to hear the potential threats Hip !

[brisk zinc]

@willow hawk
As you can see, first pic, I have both of them, in low conditions (anomalies) and 100% condition (most likely from dead stalkers)
In the second pic I've put all the 100%
In the third pic you can see that even after taking out the artefact with 100% condition... is still at 100% and it's not getting randomized

Now I'll try with IAC, AAC and AAM

[graceful iron]

put it in the container again and take it out?

[brisk zinc]

The other three

[graceful iron]

i could have sworn this was fixed at some point and i tested it

RC1 ?

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[brisk zinc]

Check the conversation above

We were talking about this, hence my pics, I'm testing it

[marsh hatch]

bruh

Dude really got hit bad.

Even Falco proved that his game is normal

and it's fricking RC1!

[brisk zinc]

It shouldn't be "normal", that's the problem

[graceful iron]

i know for a fact grok fixed this in RC1

could be an old RC1 update ?

[brisk zinc]

My install is new, I did everything from scratch (even changed the SSD) and updated like a week ago, tops

@willow hawk same 100% artefacts, same result

[graceful iron]

no i mean a damaged radioactive artefact getting fixed after putting it in a container

[brisk zinc]

Now I'll try with the damaged ones

[graceful iron]

okay

[brisk zinc]

@willow hawk
Before the leaded container (first pic)
Closed in the container (second pic)
After taking it out (third pic)

Nothing changed

Same goes with IAC, AAC and AAM, the damaged artefact have the same values

[willow hawk]

Ok, so the problem lies with 100% artefacts

from stalkers

[graceful iron]

seems

[willow hawk]

now drop one to the ground

and check if it gets randomized

[brisk zinc]

This is inside a stash, the one where Sidorovich is, still same values

[willow hawk]

or try equipping a 100% artefact to your belt, and remove it from you belt afterwards

[brisk zinc]

Doing it now

[marsh hatch]

I did it once, and regretted it.

Equipping it naked then unequipping would randomize it.

[graceful iron]

just in case you didnt know, junk artefacts reset after putting them in a stash (i think has been reported multiple times already)

[brisk zinc]

Okay I can't, I don't have space in my belt because my armor doesn't have one
Can someone suggest me an armor? I'll debug it

[graceful iron]

should not happen, i have tested this myself

[willow hawk]

as it should be

[graceful iron]

any scientific suit

[marsh hatch]

Any SEVAs

[marsh hatch]

[willow hawk]

99% artefacts can be produced with empowering for that reason

[marsh hatch]

Not with junkies

They reset after being stuffed to containers.

[willow hawk]

game always drop them as 100% so they will get randomized eventually

[willow hawk]

junk will still drop as 100% in a future update

[graceful iron]

which means you can just put them in a stash to get them to 100% ?

unless you find a way to stop them from resetting everytime they "refresh"

[brisk zinc]

On belt (first pic)
In inventory (second pic)
I can't throw this one on the ground, it disappear

[graceful iron]

detector, falco

use a detector

[marsh hatch]

My very first unforgettable moment about my mind becoming a literal monke

[brisk zinc]

Just a sec, my keybinds are still fucked

[marsh hatch]

wot did you do?

[brisk zinc]

Pressed reset/default, one of the two

@willow hawk
Dropped on the ground, taken again, same values

[marsh hatch]

well, that's proven now. It's normal.

[junior badge]

hi, its me again with the same problem with artefact for profesr chernov, i wandered al bloodsucker vilage and i cannot find this art for him, another stalkers can find this mision art and teke?

marker for this is in burning ruins near tower where the fire anomaly go up

[tidal raft]

Go to a burning house south of the tower.

[junior badge]

and how i can change weapon for Hip? she use some wrecked mosin but i give her the m4 butcher, but she notorius ude this mosin

[tidal raft]

The map markers are lying.

[junior badge]

i been there but ther is no artefacts at all

[junior badge]

i look all this vilage and there was only lobster eye and jelyfish

and this is not arts for mision

[tidal raft]

Hold your detector out and walk around in the village.

[junior badge]

i do this all the time

[lapis silo]

It was in the south one the last time I checked

[tidal raft]

Yep. A house with a lot of Burners inside.

[junior badge]

where gamma store screanshots?

[tidal raft]

appdata

[junior badge]

ok thx

i was here before and svarog show nothing

[tidal raft]

Hold down your Use-key and walk around inside.

[junior badge]

ok, i have somtimes problem with keys, they just stop working, i must restart the game

i found it, it was in bulding lower that this from screenshots on the attick

thx for help 😄

[tidal raft]

[graceful iron]

gammaRC/overwrites/bin actually

[graceful iron]

exactly what everyone was saying ...

[tidal raft]

Artefacts from alternate storylines doesn't show on the detector. That's what tripped him up.

[graceful iron]

last time i checked they do, at least on a grizzly and bear detectors

[graceful iron]

do you have your screenshots there?

[brisk zinc]

Damn you Discord... I wanted to fix it for Aldourien...

[graceful iron]

wait what....

[graceful iron]

is that the anomaly folder ?

[tidal raft]

Yes.

[graceful iron]

[brisk zinc]

Have you ever take a screenshot?

[graceful iron]

yes

[brisk zinc]

XRay magic works even outside the game?

[graceful iron]

even grok always said its in overwrites/bin

[tidal raft]

Because you are using his settings from user.ltx.

[junior badge]

ok thx for help, but this is more and more often with this key disabled and only wasd work, i make game from scratch now

maybe i have something wrong and thats why i hawe this problem with arts and keys

[tidal raft]

See 'Busy Hands' #│🔧troubleshooting

[graceful iron]

it puts them in overwrites by default, at least for me

[tidal raft]

Yes, because that's what Grok's user.ltx has as a screenshot path.

[graceful iron]

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

[tidal raft]

The installer replaces your personal user.ltx in the Anomaly folder on install.

[graceful iron]

makes enough sense

why do you have the screenshots in your anomaly tho? you changed it yourself ?

[tidal raft]

I always save a copy of my personal user.ltx since the default keybinds are garbage. The screenshot path into the appdata folder is default from Anomaly.

hmm

[acoustic shale]

Im gonna test if its specific weapon just in case. Last time it crashed when diabling an ak47

[tidal raft]

Did you enable any addons pertaining to disassembly?

[acoustic shale]

No. Just what was default in rc 2. Its also not weapon specific. I just disassembled the weapon i did last time and no issue

Could it be inventory size? Im disassembling an entire military base worth of guns and armor

[tidal raft]

Well.. The xray engine's base was held together with duct tape and chewing gum.

[acoustic shale]

Not inventory size. Just crashed while carrying 10kgs

[tidal raft]

I don't think so. I haven't had that issue when salvaging my pile of stuff.
#╟📸screenshots message

[acoustic shale]

Big hm. Its pretty bad because its very frequent and i cant really play for more than like a few minutes before crashing

[tidal raft]

Just to be clear, your list looks like this?

[acoustic shale]

ths

[tidal raft]

Myes, it is the same as mine..

And it's only when you disassemble 'stuff'? Anything?

[acoustic shale]

Yes. I've been testing some more and I just had another while dissesmbling an outfit

It's a mercifully a smooth and quick crash. Just playing and then the screen closes. No hanging or anything

[tidal raft]

Yep, the typical LUA "nullpo" crash.

[acoustic shale]

I have another save I can test to see if it's tied to the save while we figure this out

[tidal raft]

I was about to ask how old that save was.

[acoustic shale]

Save is a transfer from RC 1 that is currently 4 in game days old and is in rostok. The other save was made this morning and less than an ingame day old

And save 2 crashed dissembling a mosin

Same error in log. sorry, i'm keeping discord open on my phone so I can use my computer to test. Typos abound

[tidal raft]

Both crashes in the same area?

[acoustic shale]

Yes. In old save I can fast travel to rostok with some stuff to test?

[tidal raft]

Sure. I was thinking if it was an entity overflow, hence the nil value.

[acoustic shale]

How would i test that?

[tidal raft]

Not sure. I was thinking a level transition might reset some values.

Can you send the 'modlist.txt' from your MO2 Profiles-folder?

[acoustic shale]

Ye. still loading btw

crash

Sorry but where is that file?

[tidal raft]

Inside the Mod Organizer 2 folder > Profiles.

[tidal raft]

Try disabling 209-DLTX FDDA extra animations.

It may interfere with the event manager when you enter the 'disassembling state'.

[acoustic shale]

So freaking close but crashed

I literally was taking apart the last item (a bandana) and crash

[tidal raft]

Same code as before?

[acoustic shale]

Yes

Looking at the log the last thing it did was call a method for GetItemList then dissemble_cloth_fast then it says 0 and fatal error

[tidal raft]

These equipments are in your own inventory, right?

[acoustic shale]

Correct

The way ive been handling it is load in, walk over to stash, grab items, close stash, open my inventory, disassemble, crash

[tidal raft]

This is a long shot, but try disabling Cr3pis icons.

225 and 226

[acoustic shale]

Right. Loading in now

[lyric shell]

Well I am stupid but some someone got the the quest LAst Dawn where one has to find the damn dead scout

[acoustic shale]

Im gonna try something else this time too which is to make sure im only carrying one tool. Im wondering if it trying to decide which tool is better may cause the error (? Idk just trying anything at this point)

[brisk zinc]

Check pinned messages in here

[acoustic shale]

Crash

[lyric shell]

many thanks

[acoustic shale]

Same code

[tidal raft]

99 and 76 at the bottom of your load order, are they failed downloads or available to be checked?

[acoustic shale]

Avaliable to be loaded

Both are titled eft weapon reposition

[tidal raft]

I'd suggest putting them back into their numbered order and enabling them. I doubt it's the source of crashing, but-..

[acoustic shale]

No crash?

What the actual fuck? Lol

[tidal raft]

Question, were you holding any weapons while disassembling?

[acoustic shale]

Eft weapon reposition is like the on screen weapon position right?

No

I made sure to unequip all weapons when i started each time

[tidal raft]

..... I just don't understand..

[acoustic shale]

Playing with fire but im going to reload and try again just to see if it was dumb luck (i do have a quick save after tho(

I need to understand

[tidal raft]

Actually, I might see how it's related.
76 is overwritten by GAMMA UI.

Whatever item/weapon being disassembled belonging to that reposition pack have no correlated value for GAMMA UI to 'delete' that item.
Maybe...

[acoustic shale]

It worked qgain . Lol. Modding is a trip. Guess i know now

[tidal raft]

That's all that matters.

[acoustic shale]

And i got got by a psy storm immediately after

Its fine but just lol

It happened again. Same error code and everything. This time while just looking at my pda

[willow hawk]

?

[tidal raft]

I don't know..
Grasping at straws.

[acoustic shale]

You got any advice on this? I'm looking through the log and the one consistent thing that happens right before the crash is the dissemble cloth fast thing but i was using my pda not disassembling

[willow hawk]

Disable disassembly chance tweak and wpo patch

[acoustic shale]

Crash same error

[stoic tartan]

Is it possible to buy some sort of side scope for my ak? I use long range scope and want to easily switch between 2 in combat

[acoustic shale]

B&s has that on some weapons. Idk know if its included in gamma but in base anomaly with that addon you can get canted sites. I believe they are part of some upgrade kits

[tidal raft]

Canted sights are exclusively BaS—and yes, BaS is included in GAMMA.

[willow hawk]

Send the whole log please

[acoustic shale]

Here just had a new one. This time it wasn't cloth dissassemble fast. Warfare is not enabled

[brave hemlock]

do we just stand there with the scanner in hand and do nothing?

[tidal raft]

Yes.

[brave hemlock]

no, something's wrong. I'm just standing here and nothing happens:

the quest marker doesn't move

oh, I think I'm using the wrong device

[acoustic shale]

I think that solved it.

[brave hemlock]

damn it does nothing...

[brisk zinc]

Let me see the quest you're doing

[brave hemlock]

it's in the Scar anomaly

[brisk zinc]

Since you have both of those scanner, you should have another quest

Because one is for one type of quest, the other is different

[brave hemlock]

yep, I'm aware

I have tens of active quests.

I take all quests I can. Well, almost all.

[brisk zinc]

Do you mind sending me your save? It's in: Anomaly\appdata\savedgames

So I can try it by my own

[brave hemlock]

I don't. Gonna send it.

is it ok if I just drop them here?

[brisk zinc]

@brave hemlock why do you play like this?

[brave hemlock]

oh, I was watching a tv show with my wife on a different screen

just turned it down

I don't play like that normally, hehe

[brisk zinc]

Well, I can't try it on my own

I have the "all quests completed" bug

[brave hemlock]

huh? I don't have that bug.

odd

well, I have the limited fast travel disabled in my mod list, but it shouldn't matter

[brisk zinc]

Me too

[brisk zinc]

I know you don't

[brave hemlock]

I mean, if we have same mods and same base game, how come you have a bug and I don't?

damn this is the only quest I can't complete. I can't just give up

[brisk zinc]

I don't remember the description of the quests but one should be about standing near the anomaly and using the scanner

The other should be something about dropping the scanner in the proximity of an anomaly

They're different and as such you have two different scanner

[brisk zinc]

I'm guessing here but this have the picture of a scanner you can hold in your hand

So this should be the one where you need to stand in front or next to an anomaly and wait for the scanner to do his thing

[brave hemlock]

well I have both scanners

neither works

[brisk zinc]

You need to wait a few seconds in front of the anomaly with the scanner you can hold

[brave hemlock]

I've been waiting for minutes with it in hand

[brisk zinc]

If the spot is correct, you're doing it wrong then

It's noticeable when the scanner is working because there is a screen that "loads" up

[brave hemlock]

I also have odd save game issues. The game just doesn't save when I save it manually. It doesn't update or create new saves. When I try autosave, the game crashes. Is it known?

it started recently

[brisk zinc]

Consider that you've fucked with sleep deprivation

It's an unknown territory for me

[brave hemlock]

crap

[brisk zinc]

Since you've touched it, it could probably be the issue here

[brave hemlock]

well ok, I'll wait for rc3 then... And start over

[brisk zinc]

It's better to stick with RC1 if you want to play without issues

RC2 is in beta and it's still a beta in the purest of form, anything can happen

[brave hemlock]

I know, I guess rc3 is rc2 with most bugs fixed

and a few more mods 🙂

[acoustic shale]

What does your rank affect in this modpack?

[nimble hamlet]

How long does it take for cells (i.e. Dead City) to respawn actors?

[rotund moss]

usualy 24 - 32 ingame hours for smart terrains, note that im stating vanilla numbers - but i dont think gamma changes anything in that regard

[whole rain]

is there any recommendations for graphics preset? i want to max everything but not sure if something is broken and will hardly drop my fps for no reason

[rotund moss]

you might want to check #old-framerate-optimisation as in go for max everything and go down the list until you hit the hopefully constant FPS you seek

[whole rain]

@rotund mossi see, thank you, and what about maximum acceptable FOV (both sliders)?

i remember there is some mods that says dont go higher than 75 or so...

[rotund moss]

im honestly not sure about that, since im playing on a potatoe i usualy try fuck around with as few sliders as posible

[whole rain]

got you, ill try to play around with that, but seems like HUD fov should be only 65

[rotund moss]

good luck stalker

btw since i was fucking around with it, there are a few BAS scopes that are actualy 3D (magnification inside the scope not "just zoomed in" with an overlay on screen) and they chop down the FPS to something between 20-30 is that just me because potatoe or does that sadly always happen that way?

[warped ginkgo]

ALWAYS

cuts fps in half becuase it renders the game twice

or something like that

[rotund moss]

so basicly optimasation problems with BAS scope got it

then there is nothing i can do about it, cuz right now they are unusable

[warped ginkgo]

only solution is to play with high fps

if you are struggling with it, avoid them

[rotund moss]

i just threw the optic in question into a fruitpunch any more questions on my struggle? xD

[edgy echo]

Is anyone having an issue while only BAS pistols have laggy animations ? They dont look smooth for some reasons on my end (rc1)

Particularly the screen shake when I take out the pistol* This effect is not present on the vanilla weapons.

[rotund moss]

not as far as i am aware but i also usualy only use one type of BAS Pistol anyway since im a sucker for the HK P220/226, tho i think some animation are a bit choppy they dont feel laggy, at least on my end

[wise sparrow]

anyone know if theres some scripted enemy that will just one shot you when you are doing the sin mission to assault the construction site in limansk

having an npc do fatal damage to the head at full hp with the best helmet in the game on MEDIUM difficulty is already obnoxious enough but he's doing it through the walls over and over it's kinda sus at this point

[edgy echo]

There is definitely some janky camera animations coming with bas. Playing at high refresh rate this looks terrible when I take out my pistol lol. I need to figure out why it does not happen on all weapons, or maybe just remove all of the animations for better consistency.

[hollow apex]

this is one of my friends' HUD, he's fine when using the 16:9 screen but now he's using 16:10 and it breaks, is there any way to fix this? like photoshopping some textures?

[tidal raft]

#🔨base-gamma-support message

[hollow apex]

okay, too bad. but is there some easy fix like maybe PS some texture file 🤔?

all I know is this UI is related to some EFT mods, but... I can't find the actual file.

[tidal raft]

No idea. There's probably a .dds file somewhere.

[tidal raft]

Usually what loot you get from marked stashes, and also what type of gear various stalkers will be equipped with when they spawn.

[willow hawk]

It requires playing with XML files

[edgy echo]

Fixed this issue by removing the "camera_effects" folder from the BAS mod, it is actually recommended on the BAS page and does not influence other weapons since all other camera effects than pistols ones, are redundant in the load order. Also there is 2 bas patches in the load order, making the first one useless/redundant 🙂

Actually there is a ton of redundant files that can be deleted all over the load order

[vocal gulch]

is it just me or having multiple stashes close with tons of items in cause major fps drops?

[graceful iron]

yes, not just you

try to clean your stashes and only keep what you need, if you want to loot hoard get a better pc to put it simply

but you can still have a lot of loot in the stashes before it actually starts fps dropping

[vocal gulch]

ye ty

[willow hawk]

what matters is the last files yes

but I cannot delete stuff just like that

and that's a lot of work writing instructions for each and every file of each addon

[willow hawk]

that's even in vanilla

[vocal gulch]

ty

[edgy echo]

That's what I thought

[brisk zinc]

Even with a good PC and the game on SSD a loaded stash will get FPS drop, it's just the way it is

[graceful iron]

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

[edgy echo]

This engine need a lot of single core performance

[tidal raft]

It'll be better to mod Stalker 2 since UE5 engine should be really accessible for modding. Also much smoother performance.

[willow hawk]

S2 has to be released first though

[static lake]

Even if stalker 2 turns out to be complete dogshit at least we'll have anomaly 2

[willow hawk]

In 10 years though

[tidal raft]

👴

[willow hawk]

I'll show how Anomaly 2 is made to my kids

But they will be grown ups

[strange moon]

Da

[whole rain]

@rotund mosswhats your GPU and CPU?

What do i need to edit for the silly exaggerated knock around when hit? its like he is trying to sign his name while having a pee with each tap. The melee it lasts way way too long with your head waving around

[brittle epoch]

Hey, I can't seem to find how to turn on my nvg, is there an other option that isn't the vanilla bind ?

[edgy echo]

I think for beef NVG its a long press on N and a short press for changing intensity

[brittle epoch]

oh yeah thanks thats it I'm dumb I saw it somewhere

[edgy echo]

Is it intented that some random npcs sell weapons ? Saw a duty guard selling one for the first time (BAS pm)

[tidal raft]

Shouldn't be if you only have GAMMA Economy enabled.

[marsh hatch]

Hey guys, serious question. Will me and my squad survive?

[tidal raft]

Wait, "duty guard"?
Oh, he must've picked up a weapon nearby. Yes, that can happen sometimes.

[marsh hatch]

BaS weapons tend to bug out of the game and get sold by npcs.

[blissful tree]

Depends on their ranks.

[marsh hatch]

Like my dear Sergeart Sinitzyn selling me a 0% SKS

Well, this squad

He's a Master btw

[blissful tree]

Should be good.

[marsh hatch]

Truck Cemetery is my second home, maybe I'll be fine. Thanks!

(totally didn't asked for sarcastic purposes ™️ )

[calm tangle]

Do I need to interact with a campfire in a specific way to be able to cook with a Field Cooking Kit?

The "All flammables' thing has a (0) next to it, and i'm standing in front of a campfire with the Extinguish prompt appearing.

[tidal raft]

Shouldn't be necessary. You should be able to stand close to the fire, open the cooking kit, and then select the food you want to cook.

[calm tangle]

Hmm strange then, I will try reloading the save, probably will fix it.

Or not. Is it a seperate add-on? perhaps I have it disabled somehow.

[delicate sand]

It seems a field kit can only interact with a charcoal, at least config in the gamma ui implies that

[brisk zinc]

@calm tangle try to stand really close to the campfire and make sure that you're using the right tool for the job

[delicate sand]

Well Im an idiot sorry

[brisk zinc]

?

[delicate sand]

I get this situation all wrong 😆

He was speaking about campfire, and somehow in my mind it transformed into why i cant craft with another fuel with field kit question

[brisk zinc]

Don't worry

At least you were right about charcoal

[calm tangle]

Right tool? What do I need?

[brisk zinc]

With the Field Cooking Kit, you need charcoal and a campfire (obviously)

Just the campfire isn't enough (yeah I know), you need "fuel", in this case the fuel is charcoal

[calm tangle]

#│📚manual message

this says you don't need charcoal with the campfire.

[brisk zinc]

Oh well

@willow hawk check that out, Artic here is right

[calm tangle]

I'll just make this my headcanon tho lol

when you said tools, I was thinking like kitchen utensils or a pot or something????? lol.

[brisk zinc]

I said "tools" because you also have Army Kettle and Multi-fuel stove

Army Kettle use charcoal as well

The Multi-fuel stove don't, instead you need to use gasoline or kerosene or "natural gas" that I still need to understand what it is

[calm tangle]

Oh wait, never mind

It works

You were right, when you said Stand closer

Apparently I was not close enough at all, even tho I just nudged myself a little closer then before.

[brisk zinc]

Yeah you need to stay really close

A little closer and you'll catch fire

[calm tangle]

sorry mods & Grok then!

[brisk zinc]

Don't worry, you were right about the "don't use coal"

We'll see what Grok thinks about it

[calm tangle]

It was def my own fault, in a realism case, you would have to be close to the fire to get it setup.

[brisk zinc]

IKR?

[calm tangle]

tho I thought I was standing pretty darn close, but I guess I ain't really cooked with a campfire before either.

[whole rain]

what addon adds reloading phrases from eft? i hear it every time i reload my shotgun, its annoying..

[tidal raft]

Voiced actor.

[whole rain]

thank you! "if (is_actor_in_combat() == true and math.random(100) < 30) then" fixes the problem with frequently reloaded weapons

[delicate sand]

Maybe thats because I am myself was struggling first time cooking with all this fuel restrictions

[brisk zinc]

You can see what you need if you hover your mouse on what are you using in that moment

[delicate sand]

No I mean didnt in vanilla anomaly a field kit was able to utilize other type of the fuels too?

For some reason I was thinking that

[brisk zinc]

Sorry don't know about that, it's my first time cooking in Anomaly and I'm enjoying it so far, it's not difficult once you know what do you need

[delicate sand]

I agree, its good

[tidal raft]

Field cooking and Army kettle were both locked to Charcoal in Vanilla Anomaly.

[brisk zinc]

Not only that, you don't need to carry around all the equipment for cooking, you can just cook (for example) X meat and you won't starve to death for days

[delicate sand]

Maybe in the future we will be getting more variety of recipes, I would like that

[brisk zinc]

Mutant meat in GAMMA is way, way better than canned/imported food or MREs

[delicate sand]

Oh then its just my imagination

[mellow canopy]

Should I know things before going with Rogue to Pripyat or Going to get the Clear Sky patrol out of Pripyat ?

One mission is better before the other ?

Will I be stuck with Rogue for a long time ?

[brisk zinc]

Well, the second one is after the first one (I think), since you need to go to Pripyat in the first place

[mellow canopy]

I can go to Pripyat just for Clear Sky and come back I guess

I tend to walk a lot

[brisk zinc]

Yeah but (IIRC) to go to Pripyat you need to go under a tunnel and whatnot

My suggestion is to wait and go to Pripyat when you're ready to finish the game

Because all missions are basically there

Then you'll work with Rogue and other people in Pripyat

[mellow canopy]

Ohh. But I don't want to finish the game

Thanks @brisk zinc

[brisk zinc]

There is a spoiler if you want to know it

[mellow canopy]

I finished all 3 games so it may not be a spoiler.

Except if Anomaly specific

[brisk zinc]

I'm talking about ||Sin and their quest||

[mellow canopy]

Oh don't tell me more then

[brisk zinc]

Well then, go to Pripyat only when you're REALLY ready then

It's gonna be hard

Monolith all around

[dense blaze]

I dont know if this is the right place to ask, but im running into a CTD when trying to disable the Ballistic Overhaul addon. No disrespect or anything to the mod, but it just isn't for me and it's the only addon within Gamma modpack that i want to disable. I disabled GBOOBS and the two patches for vanilla ammo icons and blindside, but when i try to play it that way, im getting a CTD whenever i kill any random NPC. Are there by chance other mods/patches within Gamma that rely on GBOOBS that i should disable as well? I cant really find them anyway, but i could very well be overseeing something.

[brisk zinc]

This is when I highlight GBOOBS, have you disabled these as well?

[acoustic shale]

Need help with a stash. Wild territory. I've searched high and low with nvg's and the artifact that makes stashes flash and I can't see shit

[brisk zinc]

A quick way is debug mode + teleport on the stash

• God mode on just to be sure not to die if the stash is in a place that you can't normally be

[acoustic shale]

cheers

[brisk zinc]

@dense blaze I didn't remove Blindsides just to check the game and it starts for me

I take that back, crash for me too on a new game

[dense blaze]

Yeahh i saw the same highlighted, but surely something like base BaS couldn't be the problem?

I could try the other ones, but i dont see if there's any obvious dependance on GBOOBS with them

[acoustic shale]

Right clicking with debug on but no drop down menu happens for that stash for some reason

[brisk zinc]

Limited Fast Travel? What about options? There is something about where/when/how you can travel

I'm sure 100% it works because I do it all the time

[acoustic shale]

Nope not that because i can fast travel to other stashes that are not my own in other maps

Maybe this stash is broken?

[brisk zinc]

It would be a first one for me

[brisk zinc]

I'll tag @graceful iron and @willow hawk for this one, it's beyond my knowledge

[brisk zinc]

Again check in options if you didn't already

And make sure that you have debug mode on

[acoustic shale]

Im telling you i have fast travel set up properly and debug and i can go to other stashes that are not my own even in the same map. Its just this one specific stash

[brisk zinc]

Oh okay, my bad

Well maybe it is really broken

Would you send me your save? I can look for it, maybe I'm more lucky then you

[acoustic shale]

Yeah np. Wait one

[brisk zinc]

Let's hope that this time it actually works...

[acoustic shale]

I havent touched sleep options dont worry lol

Dds or scop?

[brisk zinc]

I don't actually know

Send everything

[acoustic shale]

I'm gonna fuck around some more with that artifact and see if maybe i can find it myself because this low key bugs me so bad

I want my loot 😭

[acoustic shale]

Lamp at night. Note that the lighting on that anomaly isn't quite right o I think the stash is supposed to be there

for context the same anomaly next door

[brisk zinc]

Doing it

[acoustic shale]

Oh new question as well, is wild territorys exempt from balanced mutant spawns? I got 2 hooded controllers, 3 snorks, a burer, and a poltergeist on day 7

[brisk zinc]

@acoustic shale what do you have in "Disabled"?

Can you take a screenshot?

[acoustic shale]

Mods I assume

[brisk zinc]

Okay those two

[acoustic shale]

oh and additional storyline fixes

[dense blaze]

btw, after a thorough search in this Discord i found an older message from Remmik who said if you disable GBOOBS, you need to disable GAMMA - Close Quarters and ''Eidolon Harder Fight - Experimental''. Fixed it for me!

[brisk zinc]

Nothing, crash on start

I don't even have 274 mods, I only have 266 enabled

[acoustic shale]

IdK then. Did you sort the dltx mods at the bottom and enable them?

Dumb question actually srry

[brisk zinc]

No don't worry, it's okay

I did

I thought that I need to remove that Additional thing

Apparently I was wrong

Now it's working

Let's see if I can load the file

[acoustic shale]

I don't know that error tbh

[brisk zinc]

There are two Additional Storylines

DLTX and Fixes

Which of the two I need to disable?

[acoustic shale]

Gamma fixes

[brisk zinc]

So I keep the one in DLTX, okay

[acoustic shale]

and I play with mags redux which is disabled unless you enable it

that was the error

I can't believe i didn't realize that

[brisk zinc]

Okay, I'll enable that as well

[acoustic shale]

HAHA

I'm sorry plz no ban

[brisk zinc]

I won't, don't worry

I'll try later your file with RC1 + MagsRedux, RC1 saves are compatible with RC2, this is straight RC2, I can try and see if it's still compatible with RC1 + MagsRedux

FINALLY, IM IN

[acoustic shale]

[brisk zinc]

And it works as well

(the second line is Limited Fast Travel, I've forgot to disable it)

[acoustic shale]

I dont understand

XRAY!!!

[brisk zinc]

It's literally behind you

[acoustic shale]

Are you fucking shitting me

[brisk zinc]

You saved in front of that fire, turn around, it's up there

I'm serious

[acoustic shale]

I swear to god this wasnt a joke i legit couldnt find it

[brisk zinc]

It's correct too

And you even got phat loot

Not bad for a white stash, not bad at all

[brisk zinc]

Best plot twist of 2022 right here

[acoustic shale]

Thank you falco. Time for me to walk away in shame lol

[brisk zinc]

Next time check your surroundings better, it literally says "UNDER A ROOF", I mean come on

[acoustic shale]

I swear i did but i must have been blind lol

I mean i had freaking lamp on and nvgs trying so hard to find that fucker

[brisk zinc]

The good thing about stashes is that when you're like "on top of them", you can rely on your minimap, because it lead you there

And the stash is actually there

Check your cursor too

For example, see the cursor in the minimap

I'm almost on top of it

It's very precise

[acoustic shale]

Yeah. I used the pda all the way zoomed in and was standing on that roof so confused

Wonder why the fast travel wasnt working tho?

[brisk zinc]

Probably XRay or you were too much close

You need to stay a bit far away for the prompt to pop up

[brisk zinc]

And btw, that other stash is under the train, look closer, please

[acoustic shale]

No yeah i would have found that one. I was focused on that first one lol

[brisk zinc]

All's well that ends well

[acoustic shale]

Lol now all i have to do is defeat those two hoode controllers

[wise sparrow]

is the psy field in the central lab of x18 supposed to kill you if you have the helmet

just lost a good duty ironman run because i was looking for artefacts in the lab and didn't notice the meter going down

[whole rain]

hmm it looks like actor voices in command wheel are disabled, when i select any option using command wheel it doesnt play any command. only one sound works - when i click C to open command wheel. i found correct file in gamma keybindings addon and trying to change C key to "commands wheel" button in game settings, no idea is it possible using scripting)

[north turret]

Holy downloading all the mods takes a long time

Is it only me or is just moddb that slow

[brisk zinc]

It could be both, Moddb is slow by itself, if you're unlucky you can get a "bad" mirror
Check the last message in #old-how-to if you want to change it

[north turret]

Also is it normal to get a few errors on npc footstep misery boost

In the console it says the system cannot find the file specified, all though it continued downloading other mods

[brisk zinc]

Yes, don't worry

You can skip it

[keen stag]

have a perhaps silly question on acquiring new firearms, is the idea basically to play pokemon and collect all the parts of the gun you want from salvage and then slap them together into a working version?

to elaborate a bit more I find a rifle i want to use store it while farming compatible parts, repair said parts and then rebuild the rifle

[nimble hamlet]

Yeah that's the gist. You can use ramrods to repair some parts and you can make or find relevant repair kits which will let you auto-get the parts at the cost of using the repair kits uses

Morale of the story is disassemble everything

Technicians also sell 100% parts but not all of them but worth a check

[vocal gulch]

Anyone use a camp to block NPCs ? like a passage or doorway outside so they cannot get in?

[keen stag]

ok excellent thank you for that. I was starting to figure that but was unsure how much i needed to pay attention as i'm still running around using the starting SKS

[vocal gulch]

also i highly doubt it but can tents protect us from blowouts etc ?

[nimble hamlet]

Make sure to keep your guns in good condition as that prevents part damage

[nimble hamlet]

Are you still present when you're setting up the tent? If so, combat feasibility seems iffy

[keen stag]

follow up question if you wouldn't mind, and this is half remembered from late last night for me but you can field strip some but not all parts of a gun?

otherwise disassemble everything

[vocal gulch]

ye you set it up, you can then go about your business leaving it there

[vocal gulch]

yup take parts that are 60% from weapons and toss the weapon UNLESS it has a good barrel. If you just want a % chance to get a barrel you disassemble, you also get scraps too

50% for armor parts

[keen stag]

i imagine those %'s are repair thresholds?

[vocal gulch]

as you cannot repair the part under those durability's

[keen stag]

hahaha love that

thank you so much

maybe one day i'll upgrade to.. a slightly more modern SKS

[vocal gulch]

ye the tools will say usable on 60% or 50%

[keen stag]

siiiick

[vocal gulch]

like the multitool, basic sowing thread, the file looking thing, and that yellow box thing omg i forgot the names

[keen stag]

i know what you mean

and then you also need a specific tool kit for the weapon type from memory as well

[vocal gulch]

then you need the tool box for that weapon yes

[keen stag]

watch me forget all of this by the time i play tonight

awesome!

[vocal gulch]

also basic, advanced, expert kits to make them unless you find them

you cant make expert tho

[keen stag]

that makes sense

more stash hunting i spose

and saving my game after finding them, surviving a frustrating firefight with only 4 mercs and then walking into an electro

[vocal gulch]

and that SKS is a beautiful weapon! trust me it will last quite some time, all you need is the scope

[keen stag]

YEP

[vocal gulch]

well you can always hit tilde button and type save savefilename

savefilename being the name you choose

[keen stag]

i'll keep that in my back pocket

[vocal gulch]

you will do that frequently if the busy hands bug hits you. You will notice once you cannot interact with things

[keen stag]

oh nooo

I haven't had anytihng like that yet

[vocal gulch]

type save savename hit enter, then the same again but load savename

[keen stag]

good to know!

[nimble hamlet]

Yeah I used the SKS for a long time before eventually updating to the SVDS

The cheap Butcher ammo real nice for the SKS tho

[keen stag]

guess i need to get in with Duty so they'll sell me the scope

[vocal gulch]

Why is there a garage size room with 20 or so bloodsuckers ?

damn shame my knife was blunt xD

[tidal raft]

It's a part of Anna's storyline. I found it early too.
#╟📸screenshots message

oooooooh i see

[hollow apex]

a quick question can GAMMA run on WIN 11 ?

[tidal raft]

There have been users reporting issues with installing GAMMA using Grok's Installer. Not recommended.

[hollow apex]

yes a friend of mine using WIN 11, he got all the mod list right but just cannot get into game

[north turret]

Whats the default amount of enabled mods i should have

just checking if everything installed

[hollow imp]

guys when i try to load to cordon my game crashes any ideas what to do?

Read step 9 of #old-how-to.

[hollow imp]

i did

and everything is good

no red crosses etc

i even reinstalled game once

cus i had same problem earlier

[tidal raft]

Can you send the 'modlist.txt' from your MO2 Profiles-folder?

[tidal raft]

You see here?

This means you didn't follow Step 9.

[hollow imp]

so i should put them above of "newly updated or old addons..."?

[tidal raft]

Put them into numbered order. If you have any duplicate mods they should have version numbers at the end of the name.

[hollow imp]

okey thanks

[tidal raft]

hey guys i have similar problem

#│🔧troubleshooting message

[north turret]

thanks so much bro

[tidal raft]

[molten warren]

Hey is All the mods supposed to start out Not being Properly Loaded? or did something screw up?

this is in the audio separator

[tidal raft]

Find the modlist.txt from the installer folder\resources\profiles_files and copy it into your MO2's profile folder.

[molten warren]

Alright I hope that works. I don't want to reorder 222 mods

[tidal raft]

Make sure to restart MO2 once the file is copied.

[molten warren]

Ok

[whole rain]

there is running animation but they stand still, only these mutants, can this be fixed somehow?

[tidal raft]

It's a collision issue.

[rotund moss]

they get stuck on "nothing" just like bisches always trip and fall over in horror films

[whole rain]

yeah one of 3 unstuck after reloading... and stuck again

[rotund moss]

they can get unstuck sometimes via reloading the save or taking damage, but it does not work every time and at some places you can only help them with a bullet to the back of their heads (Eastern Part of the Railway in the Cordon for example)

[willow hawk]

thats a vanilla issue

[brisk zinc]

236, give or take

[tidal raft]

I'll try to remember for future use.

[strange moon]

Is gamma save to update for now?

I've been on the same version for 2 months now i think ;_;

[mellow canopy]

You can unstuck them with a shotgun

[strange moon]

Lol

[pliant garnet]

Evening everyone , a question ( sorry if its dumb ) .. is there a way to launch GAMMA without the reshade loading up , yes i know i can press pgup to turn off in game but ,maybe there is a better way , my potato cant handle the bloom 🙂

[strange moon]

Yes there is

[tidal raft]

Get the ReShade installer and make it uninstall the pre-installed ReShade from the .exe you run from (your anomaly folder)\bin folder.

[pliant garnet]

oh brilliant thank you !!!

[tidal raft]

[whole rain]

if i make a change in a script and just reload the savegame, will it update? or maybe there is a console command to do that

[tidal raft]

Depends on what you change.

[whole rain]

i found a bug in take_item_anim/enhanced_animations and trying to fix it, but i have to reload the game every time a make a change)

[tidal raft]

No idea. I think you must restart the game every time to cache the edited script into memory.

[calm tangle]

Is there any info on the custom mutants?

[graceful iron]

custom mutants ?

[tidal raft]

There are no custom mutants in this pack—yet.

[calm tangle]

I don't remember this big troll looking mutant being vanilla

[cursive musk]

This thing is unused mutant from vanilla anomaly, activated via ZCP addon (model from metro2033)

[graceful iron]

they only spawn if you enable them through zcp (or spawn them with debug)

[calm tangle]

ah okay, I don't remember enabling them, but i'm sure I did.

hella tanky.

[blissful tree]

Is that librarian in the izlom model?

[warped ginkgo]

shitty librarian from metro game

[molten warren]

all the mods are disabled in the gamma profile despite the Modlist.txt being replaced

[tidal raft]

Did you create the portable.txt in the MO2 main directory?

[molten warren]

yep

does the mod organizer need to be in a separate folder from the installer?

[strange moon]

How do j make them spawn natuarlly

Id love to have a second kind of tanky mutant

[graceful iron]

mcm for zcp

mutants

[strange moon]

Mcm?

[graceful iron]

mod config menu, its an in-game configuration menu

[strange moon]

Ah

Is that mutant a mod?

[graceful iron]

zcp is a stalker and mutant spawns mod (zone's customization project)

[strange moon]

Ohh

Zcp..

Alright

I'm screenshotting this before going to sleep, haven't been sleeping more then 6 hours since about 2 days lol

[tidal raft]

No, it can stay inside the same folder. As long as the Anomaly folder is not inside MO2 it should be fine.

[tidal raft]

Did you click Update or Complete Install in the installer menu?

[molten warren]

alright i will try that

Says gamma is up to date

trying install

[whole rain]

whats wrong with this trader? i tried to sleep, didnt help. i saw him once, then a little bit later he dissapeared

using demo_record 1 i saw hes lying, and i see "speak (f)" but cant use it in demo mode

[tidal raft]

He's only active certain times of day. Usually from 08:00 to 20:00.

And inb4, no—it's a Vanilla thing.

[molten warren]

Alright i didnt fully complete the install. but i did notice the install folder was in the same folder as Mod organizer

[tidal raft]

That is fine. The files installed in MO2 will load into memory and be used in Anomaly anyway when launching Anomaly through MO2.

[molten warren]

alright.

also gamma profile still has no activated mods

[tidal raft]

Does the profile folder look like this?

[tidal raft]

Try copying the new modlist.txt file from the installer folder into the Profiles folder again.

Relaunch MO2 after that.

[molten warren]

no change

and yes i used 7zip

not for the modlist. i followed the installation instructions

[tidal raft]

Which folder is your Anomaly game files folder?

[molten warren]

Mod organizer is in it as well as the modpack installer

Anomaly itself used to be in it

[tidal raft]

They should be separated.

For example:
C:\(your MO2 folder)
C:\(your Anomaly folder)

[molten warren]

alright

i separated it i think

[craggy shard]

download seems to be stuck on this

that normal?

[tidal raft]

It can be slow since ModDB servers aren't the best.

You may want to visit moddb.com to verify if you have been blocked due to false bot-flagging.

[molten warren]

and the gamma profile is still has no activated mods

[tidal raft]

Ctrl + P, (should only be GAMMA in that list), click Select.

[molten warren]

Nope

[tidal raft]

[molten warren]

I even made a Another profile and it was fully deactivated

[tidal raft]

Right-click > expand all

[molten warren]

alright

[acoustic shale]

Question: is artifact empowering only able to be done via the melter? The manual made it sound like a seperate thing but if it is i cant figure out how

[molten warren]

Should we just hop on a voice call at this rate. since i am having so much trouble with it and i can screen share it\

[graceful iron]

yes its only the melter

[tidal raft]

Only the melter. It acts like a separate toolkit to handle crafting, and repairing, of artefacts.

[acoustic shale]

Thanks. Guess im gonna be back tracking to yantar

[graceful iron]

#old-how-to last message has a way to change moddb mirrors, try one of the other mirrors and close and open the installer and see if that speeds it up a bit

[tidal raft]

No thanks. Do any add-ons show up when you expand all separators?

[molten warren]

Yes

but they are not ticked

[molten warren]

alright

[tidal raft]

Then hit refresh.

[molten warren]

Welp. Everymod is now outside of there separators

and i just enabled all again

[tidal raft]

Go in here, screenshot the Paths tab.

[tidal raft]

wait a minute

That profiles path doesn't match this: #🔨base-gamma-support message

[molten warren]

How the hell does that happen? you would think the installer would take care of that?

[tidal raft]

Do you have multiple installations of MO2?

[molten warren]

i dont think so

[north turret]

i get ~25 less fps in gamma than in EFP, i tried copying user.ltx from efp into gamma, still the same issue. So it must be some mod i guess, anyone have an idea?

[molten warren]

Could of happen. my semi-rural internet forced me to Do the Modpack Installer twice.

[graceful iron]

#old-framerate-optimisation ?

[north turret]

i already tried all the steps (except the ones under For even more performance saving)

[tidal raft]

Is your MO2 for GAMMA in 'D:\Game\Mod Organizer' or in 'D:\Game\Anomaly'?

[molten warren]

Mod organizer

[tidal raft]

And where did you put the modlist.txt file?

[molten warren]

in the gamma profile

on mod org

[tidal raft]

So in D:\Game\Mod Organizer\Profiles?

[molten warren]

yes

[tidal raft]

Show me that folder.

[molten warren]

i have the Normal Folder selected

on mod org

[tidal raft]

You renamed the standard folder?

[molten warren]

No

I made a second folder to Troubleshoot

[tidal raft]

Okay, what's it like inside the G.A.M.M.A folder?

[tidal raft]

That modlist.txt hasn't been replaced.

[molten warren]

I have replaced it like 10 times

This is the Installer folder

[tidal raft]

Okay, replace the .txt file again and also copy in the lockedorder.txt

Restart MO2 and see if the order fixes itself.

Actually, replace the settings.ini as well.

[molten warren]

alright

[tidal raft]

Wait, why is the installer in the Anomaly folder?

[molten warren]

Its Separate from the anomaly folder

there is two folders in it. the installer and the Anomaly itself

[tidal raft]

The installer belongs inside the MO2 folder.

[molten warren]

I thought you said it needed to be separate

Alright not only that the installer is back in the mod organizer. i also updated it

still didnt fix much

[molten warren]

i guess am a dumbass

[north turret]

Can i start downloading mods with the app before i set up MO2? Since my base game didnt download yet

Moddb 1mb/s download ;-;

manually from moddb, yes . automatically with the installer app? no

once they are done you put them in a "downloads" folder that should be in the gammaRC folder and then you run the install process through the installer

[tidal raft]

In one folder you have the base Anomaly game, and nothing else.
In the other folder you have the full MO2 folder, plus the installer.
These folders can be on the same drive, but not inside one another.

[molten warren]

alright

[tidal raft]

If you ran Update, can you see if the profile files in the resource folder changed timestamps?

[molten warren]

the profile files are supposed tobe in the resource folder?

[tidal raft]

The updated profile files are in the installer's resource folder, those files should be copied from that folder into MO2's Profile folder.

Your MO2 folder should look like this:

[molten warren]

There timestamp is yesterday. also i updated mod organizer. not gamma installer

says gamma data is up to date

[graceful iron]

you have mo2 installed and updated?

[tidal raft]

Copy all files over.

[graceful iron]

you should not install mo2, and you use a portable mo2 instance that comes with the gamma folder

[molten warren]

one sec i may have fixed it somehow

Nope nevermind

I copied everything and i updated the MO2 Instance that came with the modpack\

[tidal raft]

That's a good point.
@molten warren Are you using a previously installed instance of Mod Organizer, or are you using the pre-packaged installation that came with the modpack?

[molten warren]

Pre packed

[willow hawk]

Rank by priority ffs

[molten warren]

Sorry god

[willow hawk]

Remove MO2 from windows using windows control panel

Save your GAMMA/downloads folder somewhere

Redo the installation from scratch but move the downloads folder in it

(GAMMA RC1/downloads)

That way everything will work and you won't have to download everything from scratch

[molten warren]

Alright

[willow hawk]

MO2 comes with GAMMA. Don't install MO2 globally before hand or it will fuck everything.

The problem is, you need Anomaly folder so that MO2 reads stuff from the game and so that the installer can patch your game.

Tldr : install Anomaly, launch it once, and then install GAMMA, basically, stick to #old-how-to

[willow hawk]

Try disabling the Reshade effects

[craggy shard]

Can I still play the original anomaly after GAMMA is installed? I fear I have no experience and someone told me I shouldn't play GAMMA as starter

in fact I never played STALKER

[north turret]

Thanks, i opted in reinstalling everything now since i downloaded the anomaly from torrent magnet link (its version 1.5.1, the normal moddb download file is 1.5.1.2),, i doubt that's why my fps's is low but i'll just reinstall

will try disabling it

[tidal raft]

You can. Simply launch Anomaly as normal without the use of MO2.

[craggy shard]

Thanks

[brisk zinc]

Anomaly isn't even suggested as a first Stalker game

Try Shadow of Chernobyl, it's the first one

[graceful iron]

it makes no big difference, its just mostly the story and lore that could be spoiled by not playing shadow of chernobyl first

[stray hill]

Is installing RC2 recommended over "stable" GAMMA or should I wait for RC3?

[graceful iron]

RC1 is the most stable, RC2 is a beta test thats really unstable and RC3 is the next version that RC2 is going to be

[odd mango]

hello everyone! I just got here dying to play this mod and going through the instructions here and i would like to know if the keybinds shown in the bindmap thread can be changed because, you see, im lefthanded 😦

[graceful iron]

most of them can be changed, some are in the game settings and some have to be changed through the files

[odd mango]

noice! thanks m8

[graceful iron]

any that you cant find or dont know how to change you can ask about here

[odd mango]

i will sure do because just seeing the map here (im installing at the moment) the ones which binds for new features wont be in the base settings i suppose

[stray hill]

✅

[graceful iron]

RC1 instructions are in #old-how-to

[graceful iron]

some of them are going to be in the mcm (mod configuration menu) and some others are all collected in a mod called "gamma keybind fixes"

[odd mango]

mod congi menu, god bless

[whole rain]

hmm is it ok when i paid for gun repair but it still has broken parts inside?

[graceful iron]

yes, you have to repair or replace each part

paying a mechanic only "cleans" the overall gun

[whole rain]

but how can i repair a part if i just started playing the game?

[graceful iron]

replace it by getting a better condition one from another gun

[tidal raft]

#│📚manual

[whole rain]

hmm i noticed that it doesnt work properly. for example i cleaned a gun, removed broken parts, and inserted it back... the gun lost its condition by like 30%

[tidal raft]

#│📚manual

[whole rain]

repeated process, another loss, until 50%

[graceful iron]

yes, its supposed to lose condition if you replace parts on the field

if you use a crafting menu (vice) it wont lose condition

but please read the manual if you have not

[whole rain]

thats what i asked for

it says that the gun will lose its condition, thats all

[odd mango]

uhhh i just finished installing following waveys tutorial and everytime i hit launch in the gamma it loads but nothing else, i got a notification from the mod manager saying "there are files in your overwrite mod directory" i read the explanation but i aint a tech savy

[graceful iron]

the mo2 error is not important, get the crash log from anomaly/appdata/logs but you most likely have some mods at the end of loader section that need to be moved and enabled (step 9 of #old-how-to )

[odd mango]

oki doki, will do, tks!

[graceful iron]

post the log here (drag and drop) if the game crashes again

[molten warren]

i was able to make it to the main menu but after starting the game it crashed. and now am unable to start it

[graceful iron]

crash log

[molten warren]

where can i get it?

[graceful iron]

anomaly/appdata/logs

stack trace:

i checked the numbers on the left and seems fine, same problem tho, i even reinstalled to make sure if it was a modb server issue

[graceful iron]

DLTX mods at bottom of the list

[odd mango]

do i enable them?

[graceful iron]

move them and enable them, step 9 #old-how-to

make sure to also move any other ones you find there

[odd mango]

ok check it out again, move to top you say? sorry if im being a bit dense here lol

[brisk zinc]

You have mods there

Those mods have numbers on the left

Follow the numerical order and put them in order

[odd mango]

oh right, oki doki

[graceful iron]

move them to where their prefix number should be

[odd mango]

ay ay

[graceful iron]

one thing to keep in mind, these mods are disabled by default and should stay disabled in the disabled section. dont move or enable them

[odd mango]

gotcha! tks a lot!

[molten warren]

So you telling me i need to Reorder my entire modlist?

[graceful iron]

no

did you download a new anomaly folder for gamma?

[molten warren]

Wait i need a New anomaly?

[graceful iron]

yes..

[molten warren]

Fuck

[graceful iron]

keep an anomaly zip file on your pc for modding and modpacks

extract it when you need one

[odd mango]

140 lunas mod have the dreaded red X, its like a exception like maid?

[graceful iron]

yes, its not needed

[odd mango]

noice

damn youre quick

[graceful iron]

i am just here most of the time, till i am not

[odd mango]

ffair fair lol

[molten warren]

i was using the anomaly folder i had awhile on my computer

[graceful iron]

it was probably modified by something you did, the error you got this time most likely means its corrupted

[molten warren]

V1.0.5

[graceful iron]

wut ?

[molten warren]

Bruh

that is my game verison

[graceful iron]

how the f

just download a new anomaly folder

[molten warren]

and yes i did mod it in the past

i am

i be living in the stone age over here

[brisk zinc]

[vapid dirge]

is warfare still a no-go with RC1 and RC2?

[tidal raft]

Yes.

[odd mango]

@graceful iron did it my friend. i took long because i was learning some stuff before goofing around mods and such, game is running great and the modpack is perfect, tks a lot

[north turret]

Ive been trying to fix the fps issue the whole day, i have ~25 less fps than in EFP, i followed all steps in #old-framerate-optimisation.
First 14 steps did nothing, when trying to disable the mods listed in additional steps, my game wont even launch, saying it cannot generate shaders

Now, when i delete shader cache and try to play base anomaly OR gamma, when i get into a game my screen is completely black (i can see the inventory and hud, rest is all black)
(I managed to fix this by reverting the default GAMMA user.ltx and deleting cache)

[cursive musk]

This performance texture pack helped a lot for me and is not looking that ugly : https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/anomaly-1k-performance-textures-pack

[north turret]

thank you, i will try it, but im trying to find the specific mod that causing me to lose so much fps

[keen stag]

is the intended behaviour for artifacts to be damaged, fusing them together and then using/selling them once they get above the 'too damaged to sell' threshold?

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[keen stag]

sweet!

thank you very much 🙂

[brisk zinc]

Check here for more (one second)

#📢announcements message

[keen stag]

I tinkered around with the system after finding 4 artifacts near hot hinds and discovered the whole system and realised I needed to artifact hunting as a job for it to pay off

thank you for that!

[brisk zinc]

Exactly

Now artefacts have a "reason" to be searched for

[acoustic shale]

Will the story quest provide me the route info needed to do the quest with accesible zone turned off? I.e when its time for me to disable the brainscorcher will i have to purchase the route from yantar to x16

[willow hawk]

Nope you need to buy the routes

[vocal gulch]

question about the storage bags and fps. Is it due to the amount of bags or the amount of stuff inside them?

[hollow apex]

the latter I presume

[tidal raft]

Amount of stuff.

[vocal gulch]

so if all that stuff was in 1 bag.. apart from the game lagging to move an item in and out of it. Would there still be the same fps drop?

[tidal raft]

Yes. The engine stores items in memory within a given area.
Even if you spread your loot around in two or more stashes, yet having thousands of items combined, it is still going to drop FPS as if you had everything in one stash.

The upside of having multiple stashes is reducing the delay when opening a stash.

[rotund moss]

did you change the Vanilla story line? because i hate accesible zone and the story quests always do unlock the routes you need for them, even from jupiter to zaton o-O, ok i did play on normal diff this time but still wondering how

NOTE: Im talking about vanilla storyline

[tidal raft]

No, he didn't.

[willow hawk]

No I didnt

[static lake]

Is it normal for military stalkers to carry around 60round 5.56 mags? I have like 2 on me rn and like 6 back at my stash lol

[tidal raft]

Only if they looted other corpses on their patrols.

[rotund moss]

they usually only have 30 Standard 5.45x39 mags with them but they also have some of the most offline combat action so they start to carry wack shit after a while

also who the fuck gave the military dude who starts patrolling in the cordon right after you start a new game an RPG? like heck its only a cat, no need to blow up the whole village, thank you very much

[tidal raft]

[rotund moss]

pretty much yes

[mellow canopy]

Magazines addon is fun but also alters gameplay quite a lot. @willow hawk explained you loot far more ammo with it and it kinda spoils the progression. On top of it, it renders weapon update increasing ammo counts totally useless. On the other hand, it adds some micro management and oh fuck moments some people enjoy.

[rotund moss]

i feel ya on some parts, i love my 9x39 weapons and the only reason to "upgrade" to one down the line is either nearly double the damage or more options for better optics - since i can just loot or buy a 30round mag for them and call it a day

[static lake]

i personally love the micromanagement. pulling out mags from weapons,unloading the bullets. just makes looting more rewarding. then again i do have like 70 rounds of ap 5.45x39 and 100+ hollow point. mostly cuz of the 60 round mags I keep finding.

[mellow canopy]

https://tenor.com/view/well-i-dont-judge-im-open-minded-to-each-his-own-you-do-you-live-and-let-live-gif-18226446

[wooden nacelle]

The amount of ammo could probably be tweaked somehow

[hollow apex]

@tidal raft ~~HI Aldourien my friend's NVG doesn't work, I know there are some issues about NVG in DX8 but he is using DX11 AVX, and I can't find any fix on the search, do you have any ideas? ~~ fixed it by deleting the shader cache folder

basically there's only sound and animation but no actual effect.

NVG still has power no problem, his mod list is normal I double-checked that as well fixed it by deleting the shader cache folder

[tidal raft]

Unless it is 'busy hands', I'm not sure.

[hollow apex]

not busy hands, I fixed it by deleting the shader cache folder😂 , so.. nvm thanks still

[tidal raft]

That makes sense, since the NVGs are shader-based.

[willow hawk]

Main problem I see is that IRL 70 rounds mags are very hard to use.... It should increase the ADS time and force hip firing

[molten warren]

Hey what do i do when my crash Log is showing that it can open section 'craft_repair_overhaul'?

i Disabled all my crafting mods to troubleshoot and it didnt fix it

[graceful iron]

re enable the mods you disabled and check if you have mods at bottom of mod list, step 9 of #old-how-to

[molten warren]

Nope no mods

[graceful iron]

DLTX mods are enabled ?

in their section

[molten warren]

DLTX Section is empty

[graceful iron]

it should not be

[molten warren]

well it is

[graceful iron]

search DLTX in the filter, see where are the mods if they are even there

[brisk zinc]

Could be a failed installation/update

[molten warren]

They are all i GAMMA Add ons

[graceful iron]

could you screenshot what exactly do you have in the gamma addons section ?

[molten warren]

I moved the dltx into its proper section

[graceful iron]

okay and make sure to enable them except extra animations that one you can keep disabled (its optional)

[molten warren]

alright

[brisk zinc]

He have the whole mod list messed up, I can tell

[graceful iron]

oh... i just looked at the image again

[molten warren]

I know its a clusterfuck. i used 7ZIP. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS MODPACK FOR 3 DAYS NOW

[brisk zinc]

@molten warren do this, so that we can see your whole mod list:

[brisk zinc]

9 shouldn't be there

[graceful iron]

btw are you sorting by priority in mo2 ?

[molten warren]

Yes. grok told me to do that

[brisk zinc]

Doesn't seem like it

[graceful iron]

just make sure again
