[elder trout]

is there a way to show bullet count and fire mode?

[graceful iron]

press 0 to change fire mode

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[elder trout]

yeah but an UI for these

[graceful iron]

UI ?

there is a number shown next to body health UI that tells you about the firemode

[elder trout]

aaah sorry thats what these numbers are for

derp 😄 nvm thx

[keen rover]

Hello hello, I use 2 computers to play Anomaly; I just installed GAMMA for the first time and I've been having fun so far. I would be glad if someone told me a way (paths to files I need to copy) for getting all settings to my second computer, both from Anomaly and GAMMA (including Mod Options). I've been mostly using print screen to take pictures of all settings screens until now in vanilla Anomaly, but since GAMMA has a lot of settings windows that is not really a solution anymore. Thanks

[sterile rapids]

Hi, just started playing GAMMA yesterday and I'm loving it so far. However I seem to not come across any mutants in the swamps so far, is this normal or should I increase the mutant pop in ZCP? Currently both stalker and mutants are on .6 with respawn at 12 hours

[thorny hazel]

Mod options - GAMMA RC3\mods\G.A.M.M.A. MCM values - Rename to keep your personal changes

Anomaly settings - Anomaly\appdata\user.ltx

Saves - Anomaly\appdata\savedgames

[keen rover]

Thanks! I knew about saves, but these two are gonna help me tremendously

[graceful iron]

it can sometimes happen with stalkers fighting mutants but if they dont spawn after a while then something is wrong with the install or save file?

[elder trout]

Is there an auto-run hotkey in game?

[graceful iron]

press shift once? make sure its set to toggle?

oh wait

like auto walk without pressing anything?

[elder trout]

yeah a friend of mine also playing Gamma is asking me :p

[graceful iron]

i dont think there is anything like that... why would you need that

[quick ravine]

to run into anomalies, duh

[elder trout]

haha that's what I said to him

[thorny hazel]

Someone made an addon for this apparently https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/autowalk-for-anomaly-151

[uncut storm]

is game supposed to look this ugly?

[cunning kindle]

Its an old game... what do you expect?

[tidal raft]

Nope. Try increasing the advanced graphics settings.

[uncut storm]

EVERYTHing on high/ ultra

[uncut storm]

yeah, but game looked better on vanilla anomaly xd

wtf

[tidal raft]

Fix your shit.

[cunning kindle]

Eh... i don't mind the look of games as long as gameplay and story are decent.

[uncut storm]

me too

[uncut storm]

do u use stock gamma reshade?

[tidal raft]

Yes, and deep-learning sharpening.

[uncut storm]

i dont even know what could be an issue

[tidal raft]

Your image looks low res to me.

[uncut storm]

ill try tweaking anomaly launcher

[tidal raft]

You're not supposed to edit "the launcher". Open the game through MO2, and adjust the settings directly in the game.

[willow hawk]

Just reapply the graphics of GAMMA

#│🔧troubleshooting copy the content of modpack patches to Anomaly folder

[uncut storm]

OK ILL give it a try

[uncut storm]

copy all the mods from gamma "mods" folder to anomaly gamedata?

[graceful iron]

no

[uncut storm]

then wat

[graceful iron]

#│🔧troubleshooting message this

copy the 3 folders from modpack patches to anomaly folder

to this

[uncut storm]

ty man

launching game rn

nothing changed

guess ill go back to efp like a noob

[grave plover]

Is it a shader from reshade? If so where can i get it

[tidal raft]

Nope. It's from RTX.

[muted sinew]

wait you can use DLSS on stalker?

[tidal raft]

https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3587/~/how-to-enable-dynamic-super-resolution-in-games.

[muted sinew]

shieeet

fukken neat thx

[tidal raft]

[muted sinew]

just got meself a 3070ti and I'm super bottlenecked by my ancient 1900X so might as well

[grave plover]

Ah DSR... It works on non-RTX

DLDSR or whatever its only for RTX cards

[tidal raft]

Yep.

[uncut storm]

do yall have an idea why all addons works like a dream, but graphic addons dont even seem to be enabled?

[muted sinew]

alright so where do I find expert tools and who sells the documentation for the reactor exo PSU?

[brisk zinc]

IIRC, Red Forest it's a good starting point to look for stashes, then the mantra is "the more north you go, the more chances you have to find them"

I don't know about that reactor exo PSU but I suppose you're talking about the "batteries" for the exosuit?

[muted sinew]

I've been north of the red forest and all I find is basic tools

the reactor PSU I mean the one in the crafting menu

[tidal raft]

"Don't seem to be"? You can literally see what's enabled in the modlist of MO2.

[brisk zinc]

Bad RNG then, you don't have the Aldourien Blessing

[muted sinew]

eggheads sell the blueprint for the "gotta go fast" one but I can't find the reactor PSU blueprint

which interests me since I found the best exo in the game, aka the duty heavy proto

[brisk zinc]

I can relate to what he's saying because (for example) to this day the only thing I can't manage to get it to work is that Dynamic tonemap, the rest of the game seems pretty much the same for me too, apart DICK's models

[uncut storm]

yeah, but game looks like shit

[uncut storm]

.

[tidal raft]

I guess it's just a matter of perspective/expectation. 🤷

[brisk zinc]

I guess you're talking about that thing that you can't craft and you need to find the document, then

IIRC you need to farm people that have exosuits, so (I guess) Monolith
Or you can use debug mode and take it from there
Nobody will sell that

[muted sinew]

ok then

I bought the blueprint for the 'engine' PSu from Sakharov so I figured the other blueprints could be bought too

[brisk zinc]

There should be something about it in some channel here, maybe #│📚manual

[brisk zinc]

I'm pretty sure there is something you need to farm but I'm not sure if it's that one

[uncut storm]

pain.

[tidal raft]

You should lower your expectations. You shouldn't demand a thirteen year old engine—running on a single core—to match 2022 games in fidelity.

[brisk zinc]

@muted sinew

"All recipes are available from the start, including cooking recipes. You'll just need to farm monolith exos to get special exo batteries crafting recipes."

[muted sinew]

oh thanks

[brisk zinc]

"Some traders sell very specific items, like Prof. Sakharov and Hermann sell the Artefacts Melter, a GAMMA specific toolkit that let's you empower and craft artefacts (and you can break artefacts with it to replenish the melter's power). They also sell exoskeletons' PSU recipes at Supplies Lv 5."

This should be what you already have

You need the other thing

[muted sinew]

affirm

thankx

off to pripyat

oh boy here I go killing again

ok so I have been told that defense artefacts don't degrade but I can say for a fact than mine HAVE been degrading. My heart of the oasis was at 19% earlier and now it's at 10%

so has my compass

[olive bear]

hey my game for some reason started to crash every 10-30 minutes

[tidal raft]

Post a crash log in #old-bugs .

[tidal raft]

This is not #old-bugs , but anyway..
Do a complete install, you seem to be missing some sound files. #💽how-to-update

[olive bear]

thanks

[west heath]

any idea what is causing this grainy static in the sky and how to get rid of it?

[midnight void]

A silly question about future plans, there's any plan on adding new maps? (From Lost Alpha or other mods)

[midnight void]

Radiation

I Think that you can turn off Radiation effects in UI/HUD options

[west heath]

thanks

[slow fox]

Currently im playing as UNISG, will i be able to get the artefact melter at all? WIll Sakharov open the bunker if im disguised?

[tidal raft]

You are standing in a radioactive area.

[west heath]

is there any way to repair weapon parts < 10%?

[tidal raft]

No.

Firearms own model can be cleaned from 1%. Parts however cannot be saved below 10%.

[west heath]

ty

[olive bear]

hey how do i increase bounty squads

killing 40 military didnt seem to trigger it

[glad schooner]

looking for a stash in the merc base if there is one

[sharp roost]

doesnt work, never has

community mod made to fix it also doesnt work

its like its hard baked into the game

[warped ginkgo]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/dltx-no-radiation-grain-fx

that doesn't work?

[sharp roost]

it doesn't

actually wait

it partially does iirc

it works for radiation fields only, maybe

but arszi's mod, the one that this fix is yoinked from, was supposed to remove it from psy areas + old mutants

which it does not

[wise sparrow]

to the left of dushman on the first floor on top of the cabinets or whatever those things are i forget

looks like a tool box

[sharp roost]

there's also a bag on the roof

[stoic axle]

Heyo, finally updated to RC3, got the game running but I fucking hate the Campfire Saving. Disabling YACS in MO2 makes the game crash on Startup though, what else can I do

YACS made me wanna throw my laptop out my window after having to replay from the same campfire in Wild Territory for 10 times (and none of the reasons being armed enemies)

[vapid dirge]

Theres another YACS addon

I recommend keeping YACS enabled, and disabling the saving via MCM

[stoic axle]

I looked into MCM briefly, didn't find an option to disable there

What's the name like?

[vapid dirge]

its under the YACS tab, think its really close to it's called "enable campfire saving"

unticking it reverts saving to normal, quicksaves and all

[wise sparrow]

you can also just open up the console and use type "save" then enter to create a quick save

[stoic axle]

Thank you so much my good sir, it works

[vapid dirge]

i used to do that, then it started crashing in certain areas. now i just play with it disabled

[stoic axle]

Didn't see any YACS tab in MCM, because I had YACS unticked in MO2 and so it didn't show up in MCM

[wise sparrow]

crashing on save should be fixed so update if you haven't

[brave hemlock]

is there an exo that can hold 5 artefacts?

[brisk zinc]

It's something like YACS no quit

You need to disable that as well if you don't want YACS

I guess you already worked it out though

[brave hemlock]

ok, folks, I need help. The game crashes on save. It's super annoying

I tried doing stuff recommended in Busy Hands. I disabled some of the mods mentioned there, and others are just not present. Doesn't help

I load, I play a bit. Boom, I get the bug

I also noticed, that it seems to be more frequent in Yantar and Zaton.

[midnight void]

Got anything on Logs?

[brave hemlock]

good point

nah, This is the only error I have, but it's unlikely that it occurs on save: ! [LUA] SCRIPT RUNTIME ERROR ! [LUA] 0 : [C ] __index ! [LUA] 1 : [Lua] f:/games/anomaly/bin/..\gamedata\scripts\axr_main.script(284) : on_game_start ! [LUA] 2 : [Lua] f:/games/anomaly/bin/..\gamedata\scripts\_g.script(83) : !

[west heath]

is there any way to reduce food/water requirements anywhere?

[edgy echo]

this should remove rad zones grain fx and also the beeps sound from certain mutants, tested it very quickly. It also fix a tiny incompatibility I found in a file between soundscape overhaul and ABF

[brisk zinc]

Try a different save

Maybe you have the bad version of busy hands, the one that doesn't go away with F5/F9

[brave hemlock]

I don't see how it should go away with f5 if it crashes on f5 every single time

that's the main symptom of my issue: crash on save and no location change

I still can shoot, run, take drugs and all that

[plush jackal]

Which armor is this? It has the shouldpad plates but also a nice mask (not balaclava) https://i.imgur.com/dw9kOKB.jpeg

[brave hemlock]

wow, never seen it before

looks dope

[north turret]

NPC only

[rotund moss]

kinda looks like a IBAS from IRL, but i looted 3 of thies so far and their NPCs did not look like this, so i would assume Skat9 or higher

[plush jackal]

Yea, it looks dope, I want my companions to wear it

[brave hemlock]

how do you make them wear anything

just giving them an armor doesn't do shite

oh, maybe that's hip's quirk

[rotund moss]

thats because you usually need an Addon for that, we had a talk about that a while back

and no since then does hip change outfits?

[brave hemlock]

there's the addon for it

oh, not anymore?

[rotund moss]

anyway the needed addon is not a part of gamma as of right now, if even (something about recruiting rookies and cladding them into Nosos)

[brave hemlock]

I saw it in the list recently

[rotund moss]

Hip changes Outfits?

[brave hemlock]

217!

[rotund moss]

lemme check

[brave hemlock]

I tried that mod with Hip and she ignored the armor. Maybe it's cuz she's special

are there other special followers besides hip?

[rotund moss]

i think it has something to do with Hip having her own "skeleton" and no Textures other than her own

but yeah that Addon is there but not checked, so use at your own "risk"

[brave hemlock]

ye

[willow hawk]

No

[willow hawk]

Be sure to update. There was an issue with containers

[willow hawk]

Did you expect UE5 level of graphics on a 100% free modpack of a fan made mod of a 2009 game running on a 2005 engine ?

Just look at SoC original screenshots and appreciate the progress

[rotund moss]

btw Grok, would it be possible to let fused artifacts have at least part of the condition of the artifacts used? (like 2 100% tier 1, not junk, will result in a 50% tier 2) or is that to much work and might mess shit up?

[willow hawk]

EFP isn't any better

[willow hawk]

For the crafting ? Hum. I can come up with something

[rotund moss]

would be appreciated, but put it somewhere on the end of the list - if you get to it

i mean that way its basically still the "same amount of work" (no its less, but im bad at math so take it with a grain of salt), but the "reward feels better" and ppl might actually try to put effort into fusing

[willow hawk]

Well producing higher tier artefacts is good already

[rotund moss]

thing is i noticed if i do "partical" progression, as in i craft my self enough jellyfish to use it "for now" i still will get a 5-15% Wrenched if i update later

which feels like a slap in the face, and not everyone speed runs gamma

not asking for a total rework, but something that does not feel like all your work was for non

[willow hawk]

I can make it so crafted artefacts have a 20 to 35% condition

[rotund moss]

hmm yeah sounds like you just have to adjust some values and it gives more intensive to craft the artifacts you want/need

[north turret]

Hey love the mod so far but im not that of a fan that we can not sell weapons and can not buy weapons from traders, so can i without getting any errors, deactivate all addons under the gamma economy seperator?^^

[junior badge]

Hi all, i dont now its on me only but sometimes when looting stalker body something disappear, weapons ammo ets, always one item

and this is always in moment when first open body, after this normaly i can open body and nothing hapens

i play now on rc3

[willow hawk]

Simply disable GAMMA economy and wait for traders to restock

[willow hawk]

It's normal

[north turret]

Thanks Grok

[crimson dune]

are these icons right?

They seem a little.. big

did i mess something up

[rotund moss]

i remember them looking kinda like that for the first time i started the modpack, after that they "went to normal"

check if they still look like this after you restart

[willow hawk]

In which resolution are you playing ? It is not normal

[crimson dune]

1920 x 1080, but it started on 800x680 or something cause i just installed it

[edgy echo]

Should happen after changing resolution, after restart if its still stretched something is wrong yeah

[rotund moss]

wait its not normal that the game starts in 800x680 for the first time starting it?

[grave plover]

yes because user.ltx provided with installation its set to 2560x1440 so that means you dont have a monitor with that res

[crimson dune]

cheers

[rotund moss]

yeah makes sense 1920x1080 is max for my monitor

[junior badge]

thx i was little scared(this thing stolen my fn scar from mercenary)

[willow hawk]

There are multiple things that can remove guns from dead bodies

Skill system shouldn't though, I removed this

[rotund moss]

Skill system does not remove stuff anymore?

[willow hawk]

(it can only spawn new items depending on your skill level in Scavenging)

[rotund moss]

ohhh

[junior badge]

ok now in now 😄

and why in pp 19 bizon have in description that he can use EKP-8-02 kobra sight, but i buy this from sidor and i cant put sight on weapon

[rotund moss]

thats because you have to use the vanilla one and not the one that came with BAS

[junior badge]

and in modification there in nothing about sights

[rotund moss]

the vanilla one has a slightly different name and the icon looks scuffed in comparison

also dovetail mount

[junior badge]

aa ok but where i can buy this sight in first day of play?

[willow hawk]

Make sure to use the correct ekp08

[rotund moss]

im not sure who sells it, i found mine on a dead stalker

[willow hawk]

There's one with the tail or without

[rotund moss]

also always double check what your weapons say in "details" in terms of usable attachments

saves headaches and rubels

[junior badge]

i now thats what i saw now, i details of pp 19 there in only kobra on name and it have dovetail mount

[rotund moss]

and im telling you there are 2 Kobras with dovetail mount

slighty different names and icons look different as well

[junior badge]

yes i now, now i play rc3 from new and i newer use long this weapon but now i must cos there is nothing available

and i for my stupidity started with this option that any spawn is changes for zombie stalkers only =d

[rotund moss]

you playing on survival? thats just wave zombie mode

[junior badge]

no i play story but with this option

[rotund moss]

may i ask why and how that happend, while i get the screenshot crops to show you what you looking for?

[junior badge]

and scuad coutns is for 15

[rotund moss]

wait wait wait xD you telling me you "messed up" the Zone and your only problem is that you brought the wrong scope? xD

thats impressive honestly

[junior badge]

yes 😄

i like hard game mode and fight for survival but also i like story

[willow hawk]

Hover the gun, it will highlight compatible scopes

[junior badge]

and this play can give you realy nice cash=D

i have this option like this

but minus is they dont give armors and nice weapon thats why this diapperaing thing is little stingy 😄

[rotund moss]

@junior badge see how one is highlighted and the other is not?

[junior badge]

yes yes i now this but i was to concerned about what weapon have in description

[rotund moss]

it legit says Kobra with a K

and not Cobra with a C

aside from different numbers for the version of the scope

also the highlight even works for the few chases (i know of like 3 in total) where the detail window "lies" to you

[junior badge]

ok ths for help stalker 😄

[graceful iron]

did you update recently ? since grok already pushed a fix for that

[junior badge]

i dont now

i always use update from gamma intaler

there is some o0ther option?

[graceful iron]

no, i am talking about the update in the installer

[junior badge]

i started it now, but i instaled this mod yesterday

[graceful iron]

ok so you have updated recently

[junior badge]

i use this middle option update gamma data

[graceful iron]

and then you clicked on update gamma installation ?

[junior badge]

yes

its now on 50 %

[prisma fiber]

Is there any reason to buy different knives than Hunting knife?

[graceful iron]

higher tier knives like switchblades have a lot more durability and require much less maintaining

[prisma fiber]

Thanks. Would be really nice to see that in description though.

[rotund moss]

if you look at some of the knifes

weight

like taking a switch blade or the western bayonet saves enough weight to take a few more bandages, a bit more ammo, a whole extra medkit with you

[junior badge]

and skinning harder mutant need better knife

[graceful iron]

hunting knife can skin anything, but its lower durability

[rotund moss]

yeah but the Hunting knife can already skinn all mutants, the question was "why go higher than hunting knife?"

[junior badge]

after update its the same with description

[rotund moss]

i usually end up paying up to 5k a day if i go hunting with a hunting knife

and only 1,8k with the higher tier knifes

maintenance a day

[graceful iron]

switchblade and the m9 lose 1.5 % per mutant it seems, or something around that

[fringe radish]

How do I get RF Stash tasks further up north?

[graceful iron]

they are randomized

keep finding them and hope the next one will be further north

[wraith knoll]

Does anyone know if there are key for profanity language shouting?

[graceful iron]

taunting? not in gamma

but there is a mod i think you can add to the mod list

[rotund moss]

i did notice that after im done south (not doing tasks there anymore and getting every RF package i generated so far) they seem to wander with you, as in tasks north will more likely generate RF package in the north

[fringe radish]

Oho~, Thank you Cain and Cat

But I have another 2 questions:

How do I stop military spawns in machine yard? Do I wait for a CS squad to show up and take it?

Will giving NVG scopes to NPC companions make them better at night?

[willow hawk]

Not in GAMMA

[willow hawk]

Kill everyone and finish the quest

No

[fringe radish]

I did the quest, but I've had to come back 2 times to clear them out again.

[graceful iron]

they spawn again after the quest is done if your clear sky squad that was sent with you dies, so it will be filled with military again sooner or later

[willow hawk]

It will be filled sooner or later anyways

[fringe radish]

They didn't even go to Machine yard, they turned around and went back after killing a renegade half way there.

[graceful iron]

they can be distracted anomaly stalkers

[wraith knoll]

@willow hawk are you planning to add it? it doesn't matter if not, i just curious

[graceful iron]

you can add it yourself

just install it using mo2

[willow hawk]

Nope. It doesn't add anything to the gameplay

The character already speaks based on what's happening

[fringe radish]

It would be nice if the quest made itself more worthwhile/additive to story if it fully prevented Military spawning there.

[graceful iron]

i think some vanilla quests ask you to kill the military there sometimes no?

[fringe radish]

Not that I can recall, unless you mean the original CS game.

[graceful iron]

idk i feel like i have seen a quest like that i could be wrong

[fringe radish]

I don't remember running in to any during Vanilla Anomaly.

[rotund moss]

i think Colt did ask me in one of his "i came to see you" tasks to wipe them out

but take that with a grain of salt since i was mostly drunk during that time

[graceful iron]

in what game?

[rotund moss]

Anomaly Vanilla

with a few immersion addons attached to it

[graceful iron]

ok...

[rotund moss]

oh fml, i kind of did not go right away to find the scout spore is missing in the swamps and the task failed the next morning (i was in rostok and brought my loot back to my stash) is there any way for me to pick up the quest line again or did i fuck it up?

[graceful iron]

i think you need to load before the morning and get there to find the body

[rotund moss]

since that was like 7 level changes and 20 quicksaves ago

[graceful iron]

[brisk zinc]

There is one, something like "you got grenades? Go there and destroy some tanks"

[neat hornet]

So, I'm starting anew playthrough. Last time I've played on RC1

What is a recommended Scavenger-run starting setup?

How is SKS workin' in early? Ammo is easily accessible or nah?

[grave pivot]

can somebody remind me which button combo for followers to teleport?

[brisk zinc]

J

But you need to enable the mod first

[grave pivot]

i think it worked

[peak tapir]

I mean you can get the ammo, it would be great if the fire rate limit wasnt so low 😦

[muted sinew]

I just updated and artefacts are completely bugged

[graceful iron]

how?

[graceful iron]

what mod adds shift transfer between inventories ?

[river ingot]

i got AKS-74U Tactical, it has laser but it's not working, is there a button map i missed out or the laser us purely aesthetical?

[graceful iron]

hold L

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

if that does not work try aiming down sight and then hold L, sometimes it bugs after holding it for the first time but usually fixed when aiming down sight or save/load

[river ingot]

okay thanks and one last thing, im getting random voicelines from tarkov when opening and closing backpack, it doesn't happen always

but when it starts it lasts about 5 mins then stops

that normal?

[graceful iron]

there should be voicelines for stamina and opening the companion wheel, sometimes when in heavy combat

[river ingot]

deff a bug then

[graceful iron]

opening bag should not have a voiceline

but its not consistent ?

[warped ginkgo]

maybe he rebinded to 'C' key?

[river ingot]

nope, like i said when it starts it happens every time i open/close backpack, and it's like that for few minutes then another 30-40 min it doesn't happen

[river ingot]

i did

[graceful iron]

c has the companion wheel voiceline

[tidal raft]

The actor only speaks when you have companions with you.

[warped ginkgo]

search in mo2 the addon 'gamma keybind fixes'

[graceful iron]

grok didnt change that , its apparently supposed to move the voiceline when you change the keybind

[warped ginkgo]

inside the scripts folder is the ui_addon_companion_quick_menu.script

[river ingot]

already there

[warped ginkgo]

where is says DIK_C , change it to the key you want

if you are using ALT/TAB or other special key search for it here

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/DIK_KeyCodes

[graceful iron]

use this for mouse keys

[river ingot]

yeah yeah i think you or grok gave that sc already when i was remaping free zoom

thanks a lot guys

[river ingot]

@graceful iron Releasing 'free look" button makes camera centralize a bit too fast for my taste, is there a way to slow it down?

[graceful iron]

not that i know of

i will see if i can find the script

try asking in the anomaly server actually, since its a base anomaly feature

i am out of ideas on what to look for in the anomaly folder

[quick ravine]

Is the mercenary trader in outskirts the only reason for mercenary goodwill for loner characters?

did 2 quests for those mercs and now every friendly faction quest lowers merc goodwill

[rotund moss]

best way to get goodwill to actually hostile factions: do one task for them, no matter what, just make sure you are in the + with them, go to the eggheads and do tasks for them, does not work for Bandits because they are kind of cunts

also doing missions for Clear sky while you are a loner and have at least a bit of goodwill from the Mercs can and will also increase your goodwill with mercs, without loosing goodwill with the other factions (unless we talk about bandits)

[quick ravine]

I see, thats cool

still avoiding loner quests feels off... ty tho!

[rotund moss]

well you always can not do tasks for mercs and just disguise your self as one, as specially if you have the "deep pocket" achievement

dushman is a bloodthirty cash grabbing whore

he knows you aint one of his boys, but you good money

[graceful iron]

10mil easy money yes

[plush jackal]

lol

[rotund moss]

it kind of is easy tho

just forget to sell juwelery to sid for 100 days and loot a few of them a day (same as watches)

[quick ravine]

im playin ironmanz, not easy to get 10mil here :D

[rotund moss]

to be fair if you get 10mil on ironman ya a fooking god anyway

[graceful iron]

i made it to 3 mil last run

[quick ravine]

weeell can be done because of roguelite

[graceful iron]

and i plan on doing it

[quick ravine]

or if youre a god.

[graceful iron]

ew easy mode ironman

[rotund moss]

xD

[quick ravine]

hahah

[rotund moss]

we dont gatekeep Cat

but yeah best way to make "easy" money is hording and then noticing that you like sit on 1k+ meals if you would just cook them

[quick ravine]

it is easy tho, but paired with gammas slower progression it aint too easy, especially if you try to follow Invictus rules

[rotund moss]

or see that you have a lot of stuff that sells for much in your stash

so legit being a loot goblin who like money

[quick ravine]

arent we all like this

[graceful iron]

i am saying i wont be using it for my hopefully invictus and heavy pockets run

[rotund moss]

you also can convert all the ammo you stashed away for the last 100days and convert it into expensive ammo to sell to dooty or mercs

[rotund moss]

and thats okay

but legit i dont think i will ever do an other invictus run ever, i did it once and i think i aged 5 years during that

[graceful iron]

not saying someone shouldnt use it, it definitely sounds interesting

[rotund moss]

i mean the more you die the less usefull the stuff in the stash will get

also you loose goodwill and skills or something?

[quick ravine]

u can transfer it but at least for me goodwill and rank bugs out and doesnt transfer

skills work tho

[grave pivot]

installed a tactical kit kit9 on p220, how do i turn on laser?

[graceful iron]

hold L, #│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[grave pivot]

that kit converted my 45 barrel to 9x19 -.-. Christ xD

[quick ravine]

its tacticool tho

[rotund moss]

next time read what it does

[dense blaze]

How does the Mysteries of the Zone questline really work actually? After talking to Doc you get a bunch of different target locations, but are they all supposed to actually contain stuff? I've searched the entire Agroprom Underground but i didn't find anything other than the documents you usually find in Strelok's hideout. Or does the quest just not update until you've found it all or something?

[rotund moss]

the P220 also has a kit that lets it keep the .45 barrel

[grave pivot]

just took an more expensive kit and called it a day, fucked up

[rotund moss]

R.E.A.D. i also could make a "think marc THINK" joke here but yeah

9x19 is more versatile but i assume you have a .45 against mutants

[grave pivot]

yeah, good when holding glowstick

[rotund moss]

i only use glowsticks in labs for some reason

or if i set up ambushes for bounty squads and have to light up paths

[rotund moss]

the task should update every time you find one of the documents tho

[graceful iron]

its usually reports of some sort

[long grove]

how do you use the psy helmet. doesnt seem to want to equip to anything

[graceful iron]

you just have it in your inventory

[long grove]

oh cool

[dense blaze]

You happen to know the name of the document(s) you have to find? I found the thing for Living Legend quest, Streloks Notebook and Military Documents (for Monolith Retribution quest), it seems like i would need something else.. I really searched everywhere tho, even that cursed burner tunnel

[magic reef]

Gamma is fantastic, but... I cant make progress. Playing hard, surv. Ironman. Rookie village. Where ever I go I am getting shot at from enemies I cant see. Run back to Sid and waste all money on healing items. Cant get past bridge. I LOVE IT. Incredible. Any tips on how to progress 🙂

[rotund moss]

did you go to the "hidden" room you only can access via the elevator? wait i think that is the burer tunnel or no?

[fringe radish]

You can just disassemble it.

Because the P220 is treated as a component of the kitted gun, it returns it, + parts.

[rotund moss]

the more you know

wait does the fit for all of the kit guns?

[fringe radish]

It's also sort of a bug.

[graceful iron]

first you might want to lower the difficulty you start with if you are new to gamma, also make sure you dont just rush all around without a care in the world, use routes around the usual mutant/stalker spots unless you need to clear them.
collect parts of guns and outfits whenever you can and make sure to loot stashes as they can have useful medical items
loot all ammo and keep it in a stash or disassemble it to make other types of ammo
in cordon use the "tunnel with electro anomalies" to cross north instead of the bridge

[fringe radish]

Huh? What do you mean?

[rotund moss]

guns like the monolith ak upgraded or the upgraded AK105s and so on

so called "kit" guns since you need a kit to get them, most of the time

[magic reef]

I like it hard. Past 5 years I have played all my open word rpg games in Ironman 🙂 I think the military has ocupied the bridge sniping from the train. Mutants are not so problematic. Can usually avoid by jumping on rocks, cars and dodging. Tried the tunnel on a few runs always to be welcomed by 5 bandit patrols on the other end 🙂 Thanks. Going to keep going. The hardest thing is the long view range of enemy soldiers.

[graceful iron]

use the free zoom to your advantage, its mouse 4 by default i think

and use cover more

[fringe radish]

Oh I see what you mean.

[rotund moss]

well only thing i can tell: get used to actually sneak around more than you walk. Do tasks, go slow and use free zoom and binos like its 2nd nature

also get used to crafting before buying and buying for crafting

[magic reef]

alright, but I Dont use free zoom. Thats cheating 🙂 Going to try the stealth approach. Cause it myst be visual detection that the enemy use to see me. For sure they cant hear me from 100 meters away

[graceful iron]

free zoom got nerfed, it slows you down and it has much less zoom

[fringe radish]

There's free zoom?

[magic reef]

oh, i thought you meant free camera. I use bin thought

[rotund moss]

idk mate squinting my eyes is not really cheating if im looking for my glasses. also since it got nerved it became a tool more than anything

[graceful iron]

in mcm

[magic reef]

yeah i misunderstood free zoom is more or less eye focus

[rotund moss]

yeah basically

[magic reef]

great mod and game. Thanks to all involved for creating it 🙂

[plush jackal]

When is RAPTR shottie dropping?!

[rotund moss]

then its done

[grave plover]

grok said at the end of the month approx

[rotund moss]

last update towards it was nearly done and most likely end of month

[willow hawk]

It will come with other weapons and revamp of NPCs guns most likely

[plush jackal]

That... sounds like far off, is it?

😦

I wonder if I can get it stand-alone

[willow hawk]

No

I also need to add the laser on all models etc

Just be patient

Or make a large #💰donations

[rotund moss]

the bigger the bucks the more "excuses" grok has to work full-time on this

[dense blaze]

Elevator? in Agroprom Underground, hmm not sure where you mean

[rotund moss]

Agroprom?

dude go get the Documents in Streloks hideout

the big white case with military documents is really not easy to miss

[dense blaze]

I already got those like i said, guess it just doesnt update then

[grave canopy]

how to enable magazines addon?

[rotund moss]

Open MO2 (click your gamma icon on your desktop) search in the filter bar for "Mags Redux" and check it

[grave canopy]

ty

[rotund moss]

NOTE: You can make this addon aktive at any time, but your safe will not work if you disable it

[grave canopy]

i see

[muted sinew]

do like me and set all economy difficulties on EZ mode and gameplay on hard mode, you'll get loads of money and loot from stashes but you'll still be progression locked by what you can find armor and guns wise on bodies

[rotund moss]

so once you make mags active they have to stay active for that save

[muted sinew]

mags are a meme imo

[rotund moss]

to much ammo for my taste

good immersion tho

unless you play with loner suits because fuck us sideways extra hard

[muted sinew]

meh there's enough inventory bloat with other items for me

mags are cool if everything dies in two hits

having to repack my mags every thirty seconds in a firefight is annoying

[grave canopy]

then you dont have enough mags hahaha

when i played efp i always had few extra loades mags

[muted sinew]

everything does die in two hits but my argument still stands

[grave canopy]

another question tho, is there any way to have both gamma and efp installed_

?

[rotund moss]

my first runs with RC3 have been with mags, since i was used to play with them

and yeah swimming in 300+ shots of AP ammo and 200+ shot of special ammo (like 9x39) on day 2

nope sorry why the fuck?

but that just me

[rotund moss]

no? and why would you want that?

like Gamma is good for story mode and just living in the Zone

while EFP definitely is the king of warfare mode

[grave canopy]

i see

ty

[tidal raft]

No. EFP and GAMMA cannot be merged.

[graceful iron]

i think he means both installed in the pc at the same time

yes you can do that, make sure you use a portable instance for gamma and follow the instructions correctly, and dont use the same anomaly

@grave canopy

[rotund moss]

ooooh sorry i thought he ment merging it, yes you just have to make sure they are both in different folders, as well as they are both do not go from the same MO2 folders just to be extra save

[willow hawk]

That's actually true

If I was making a living from that shit I would continue endlessly

[rotund moss]

you sure your brain would actually still work after lets say a year or two?

no offense but all this seems like a hell lot of work and a hell lot of crying ppl who most likely didnt read the instructions

[willow hawk]

You can have both installed yes

Just have two separates MO2 portable instance and 2 anomaly

[willow hawk]

It's much easier than all the jobs I had

[south pagoda]

is there perhaps a way to disable mousewheel scrolling weapons? or are pda zoom, scope zoom, inventory/pda scroll and weapon zoom all 'linked' in a way that can't be edited?

[rotund moss]

yo i got so used to not accidentally scrolling with my mouse i forgor its a thing xD

[willow hawk]

Did you check keybinds in game menu ?

[south pagoda]

yeah, mousewheel doesn't show up there as an entry

[elder trout]

So if want to replace parts in a weapon with good parts. But I use a vise and all the interchangable parts are greyed out..? what does that mean?

If I just drag the part on the weapon it says 'weapon to rusty to take apar in the field'

[rotund moss]

do you have the needed repair kit and the right parts who are in better condition than what is inside?

thats for the vise/crafting menu

for field stripping, you need to better the condition of the weapon to be able to field strip it, note that field striping the weapon not only need good condition but also will cost you condition, so you better stock up on dem cleaning kits

[elder trout]

I have the right parts

but I don't think I have a repair kit, I have a task to bring a basic toolkit to Xenotech

[rotund moss]

okay

#│📚manual read the part about repairing the guns

[elder trout]

I've read it twice XD

[rotund moss]

im gone for a smoke if you have questions what is what after that i will be here for you

[elder trout]

its a bit confusing

I'll try to get a repair kit then 🙂

[rotund moss]

you are new to anomaly and specially gamma?

[elder trout]

yeah 😄

also is there a legend for all the icon's that are in the left down corner of items?

Like the difference between these? both on the left are both cleaning kits

[cunning kindle]

Those are cleaning tools used to maintain your guns.

[rotund moss]

so the gun icon marks a "cleaning" item (yes they are for cleaning and crafting only in gamma) for GUNS

the Pin or "Rocket" is a Repair item, that only works with a certain range of items who can be repaired

the screwdriver and i forgor how that thing is called in english is the symbol for tools who also can fix shit

you can always check "details" of your guns and parts to see what kind of repair kit you need and what kind of cleaning kits do work with them

[cunning kindle]

Its called a "wrench"

[rotund moss]

thanks ma dude

you need Tools to be able to access the workbench aka the crafting menu in the field

also you need tools to be able to craft the stuff you need

[tidal raft]

The tooltip for each item will tell you.

[grave pivot]

do traders dont sell suits and weapons at all?

[rotund moss]

no

[tidal raft]

No. #│📚manual

[grave pivot]

kinda pain, not even medium armor repair kit or small caliber repair kit to repair one

[tidal raft]

Craft them. #│📚manual

[grave pivot]

i am readin ze manuel.

why no mod added coffee to the game?> coffe and cig is a good start in the morning

[rotund moss]

make one

i dont know why that madness is still a thing

but i also can only give you the same answer i got

[wraith token]

It does surprise me that no one has made one.

[tidal raft]

No one cares enough to bother.

[wraith token]

Obviously

[rotund moss]

its not that i dont care but learning how to first and then doing it seems excessive and im not at the point that i will do that

[tidal raft]

That's the bother-part.

[rotund moss]

fair enough

[grave pivot]

guys add fentanyl to the pack but some coffee is overkill xD 😄

[graceful iron]

coffee adds nothing to the game

it would have the same effects as caffeine tablets and thats just more items that do the same thing, why

[steep pollen]

hydration

[grave pivot]

de-hydration:D

same reason why add different sorts of beer and vodka

[grave pivot]

is this punisher skull or some sort of lore related logo?:)

whats written on it?

[peak moth]

hey folks, I'm trying to upgrade the APS (bought from a trader) with the APS Kit (also bought from a trader) yet absolutely nothing happens, does anybody know what might be going on here?

[grave pivot]

wdym you bought APS from trader

[grave plover]

some weapons/npcs are bugged and can be purchasable

[grave pivot]

flee market trader bought my warsaw pact guns

[rotund moss]

i think i saw the BAS APS at the doody trader as well

[vale sail]

Hi, can someone please tell me how to disable the animation of the inspection of weapons when taking it in hand

[graceful iron]

disable this

its only for the first time holding the gun tho

you can also inspect it yourself by pressing z if the gun isnt jammed

[vale sail]

Thanks a lot !

[sharp roost]

not really

Americans and other ppl have a fascination with the Punisher as being a badass, so putting him on stuff you wear as military or paramilitary is forwarding that image

the patch itself says "freedom fighter"

it's all a bunch of jingoist bullshit you'd expect a merc to put on their gear

[river ingot]

when is fat sidorovich starting to sell armors?

[graceful iron]

make sure its the APS BaS

[graceful iron]

unless you disabled gamma economy, he shouldnt sell armors

[river ingot]

like, at all?

[sharp roost]

yes

[river ingot]

aight

thought it was a bug

[sharp roost]

gotta glue together your nosorog instead yk

[magic reef]

can anything be done about the bandits shooting immortal trader NPC i.e cordon farm?

[neat hornet]

Quick question: How often are vendors renew their stock?

In default settings ofc

[tidal raft]

Depends on your difficulty.
See Prog. Difficulty in options.

[peak moth]

Tk that was the problem

[fringe radish]

What's the debug command to raise goodwill with a faction?

[tidal raft]

It's something really complex. Try googling it.

[sharp roost]

shouldve been fixed, have you updated?

[neat hornet]

It occured to me too today on latest build

[elder trout]

Is there a way t o change my max carrying capacity?

[brittle apex]

I believe there is an option in the settings

[elder trout]

to increase it further then 50

[graceful iron]

no, you need to level up your strength or use artefacts and device belt attachments for more carry weight

also upgrade suits

get a better backpack by crafting

[brittle apex]

More than 50? Are you carrying every gun you find or something?

[elder trout]

i always have less then 10 kg's over

[graceful iron]

its "50" by default, its not the real carry weight since its changed by a few mods like the skill mod

[cunning kindle]

I mean i currently have a carrying capacity of 116 kg

[elder trout]

I am stuck at 65 =/

[brittle apex]

Look for some SEVA in dead bodies. They have great carryweight

[cunning kindle]

it has a lot of factors tho. My strength level, armor, attachments, backpack etc...

[graceful iron]

the suit itself

[brittle apex]

Buying an axe is a easy way of farming strenght

Also mercs have pretty good weight distribution for their light suits. They are good in early game when you don't have yet components to craft better backpacks

[elder trout]

Ok

thx!

[brittle apex]

If you get really lucky you can get Voyager suit from dead Loner

Great weight distribution and 5 pockets without any upgrades

[fringe radish]

How would you set up an EFP install alongside a Gamma install?

[elder trout]

Each a separete Stalker anomaly install

I think

cause you need the vanilla Anomaly + Stalker Gamma folder

and slighty altered anomaly folder + Stalker EFP folder

[ember herald]

Just have 2 different instance of MO2 is good enough I think?

[brittle apex]

I think that you need to put some files in Anomaly for EFP to work

[elder trout]

Yep

[brittle apex]

That could be an issue

[elder trout]

thats what I meant

Gamma used vanilla anomaly

EFP needs you to copy some gamedata files into the anomaly folder

if that wasn't the case you could just run 1 Anomaly install + Gamma MO2 folder / EFP Mo2 folder

[south pagoda]

About suit repair, does replacing parts raise a suits condition? Or is this suit i found at 11% condition a lost cause? I only ask because nothing i'm noticing in the mechanics stock of consumables allows for repairing neither parts nor suits below 50% condition. So do i need to hit the jackpot and rng a suit above 50%, and anything below is instant dismantle?

[ember herald]

Oh what files do they edit on EFP modpack

[cunning kindle]

If you replace parts suit condition goes up.

[elder trout]

I think some gamedata files

But.. I am looking into Stalker anomaly folder itself and I see some ALIFE config lines in axr_options

[south pagoda]

sick. i already have a couple parts too. ty. its a nice one. 3 slot medium, hooded, looks great visually

[elder trout]

so... it would seem GAMMA also have influence on the Anomaly install

[uneven bison]

Does anyone know what button/where to rebind said button for scopes that have different modes? Specifically asking for the SpecterDR scpe.

[graceful iron]

v, under barrel grenade launcher keybind

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[uneven bison]

Thanks

[quick cloak]

Where on earth do you find the lab x8 document? (not the one for strelok)

[graceful iron]

in lab x8, make sure to go up through the broken elevator into the room with the burer and check there

[quick cloak]

i don't even see the burer, cant find it

[graceful iron]

did you climb up the elevator ?

[quick cloak]

Nvm. I found it

Didn't know you need to jump to get it to that room

[graceful iron]

anyone knows what addon has the shift transfer feature ? seems its not working in game so i assume the mod is either missing some files or somehow completely not installed
(nvm i think the last complete install i did fixed it)

[cedar elbow]

Does a merchants' faction affect the stash locations that you buy from them?
Like, sidorovich gives stashes around the cordon, or beard gives stashes on zaton, or is it random?

[graceful iron]

its random, but i think it could be more south

[cedar elbow]

yea, makes sense. its what ive found too. would be weird to buy a stash as a rookie and it appearing on radar or pripyat

thx cat

[fallow sequoia]

happens tho

[south pagoda]

would there be a way to disable actor callouts on pda open/close? (I'm assuming it is happening because i have a squad member, i defo like voiced actor, but my dude yelling quite loudly every open/close is getting a bit much - i play headphones, rather loud, the voice callouts are louder than gunshots in game)

[fallow sequoia]

callouts are bound to c even if you bind an action that isn't the companion wheel on it

[south pagoda]

ahhhh there it is, any idea where to set that? (pda has been C for me for like a decade now, don't think i can make that adjustment lol)

[fallow sequoia]

i just put pda on tab

[south pagoda]

tabs inv for me since ever

[fallow sequoia]

inventory i put on b

[south pagoda]

guess i'll go dig around in the voiced actor files

Welp thats a lost cause at my reading level. If anyone knows how i could rebind C = Voice callouts please let me know xD

[graceful iron]

you can check the script and change the voiced actor to the button you are using for companion wheel

in the gamma keybind fixes mod

[south pagoda]

Yeah im in there looking, but, ctrl-f "c" is all i know to look for, thousands of hits lol

any idea of a better designator or what ever one might call 'binding' or 'hotkey' etc?

or if you know which script, to narrow my scouring, theres 4 scripts

[graceful iron]

should be voiced actor?

[warped ginkgo]

#🔨base-gamma-support message

[graceful iron]

i was looking for that

[south pagoda]

godsend, thankies!

[stable stag]

I just shot and killed a bandit as a loner, and my reputation worsened. What's up with that?

[south pagoda]

are you certain it was a bandit? some Duty wear trenchcoats, easily mistaken i find

[stable stag]

Faction identification shows him as bandit

[graceful iron]

were you disguised as someone who is neutral with bandits ?

what faction is the suit you are wearing?

[stable stag]

Predator stalker suit

Loner faction tag

[graceful iron]

did you check the body? does it say he is actually bandit?

sometimes the faction identification can get bugged, but on the most recent updates it shouldnt happen

[stable stag]

It does. I even checked messages in pda to double check it was worsened and not improved

Heck, it doesn't matter. Just making sure there's not a feature I'm missing out on

[graceful iron]

it definitely should not happen

did you check the relations tab? also did you enable any warfare addons ?

[north turret]

If you play with Dynamic Relations, you might have missed a Cease Fire

[stable stag]

Bandits are displayed as enemy to Loners in relations tab, and no I don't have any warfare addons enabled

[graceful iron]

thats one of the zone's mysteries i guess then

[safe ermine]

is it normal that the army rifle repair kit is very rare? I´m ~10h in and cannot change / repair the parts of my rifle. The vendors dont seem to have it (at least at my goodwill stage)

[tidal raft]

Craft one using the workbench from an Advanced Toolkit.

[north turret]

Get your Faction Rep up or Craft it

[graceful iron]

you need to craft them, or buy them from mechanics you delivered toolkits to, #│📚manual

toolkits are obtained from marked stashes

[safe ermine]

ah the crafting, i forgot.. my mechanic needs the expert tools atm, so maybe i can craft one before he solds one

alrighty thanks

[graceful iron]

you can right click and open a crafting menu through a toolkit, you dont need to buy access to a vice

[south pagoda]

This is that entry in my installation, before me doing anything outside of rebind keys in-game, which i did once at beginning of playthrough, DIK_C doesn't exist in the entire gamma rc3/mods folder (at least the string search i performed didn't return any results from dik_c)

Via in game, keybinds > companion wheel = "=" (side mouse button)
But, with that key in keybinds set as "=" the script in the image says mouse3, and it is different from Lauta_ro's image link
I haven't edited any files yet, those are as-is with only in game rebinding taking place

[hollow loom]

Does a companion's weapon condition matter?

Can I give a companion a broken svd and it be just as good as a full con svd

[south pagoda]

actually had a similar question, gave my guy a saiga with red condition i believe, he gave it back with 0% (unless it was zero to begin with, i didn't notice when i gave it to him)
He was using it and his original weapon, swapping between them, but then it seemed like he stopped using the saiga, and around that time i took it back to find it at 0%

[brisk zinc]

IIRC correctly, yes

If you give them a good weapon, it will not jam and all that stuff that comes with a weapon in bad condition

Same goes for enemies as well, for example they have that percentage of jamming, since they use damaged weapon

[vapid dirge]

is there any easy way for goodwill w/ sin? Hard af to find them besides old mine/generators

[tidal raft]

Nope.

[vapid dirge]

tough life out here for a lone sinner

[old geode]

is there supposed to be sound that keeps on looping in your head at the Radar

[tidal raft]

While the emitter from the Brain Scorcher is active? Yes.

[old geode]

ah need to shut it down, it is giving me anxiety

[quick cloak]

where do you get the recipe to craft advance psu?

[brisk zinc]

"Some traders sell very specific items, like Prof. Sakharov and Hermann sell the Artefacts Melter, a GAMMA specific toolkit that let's you empower and craft artefacts (and you can break artefacts with it to replenish the melter's power). They also sell exoskeletons' PSU recipes at Supplies Lv 5."

"All recipes are available from the start, including cooking recipes. You'll just need to farm monolith exos to get special exo batteries crafting recipes."

[vivid zinc]

Hello! In the instalation vídeo I noticed that there are 261 mods but for some reason I only have 81 active , any solution?

[tidal raft]

Check the main Anomaly webpage on modDB to confirm if you've been blocked due to too many downloads.

If you are blocked, you'll need to wait.

[edgy echo]

Should be 271 if I remember correctly today I got blocked on Moddb for a single install this is getting worse

[sharp roost]

tee wai

[rancid trout]

I just found a package that said I found hidden loot, but I can't see the item in my inventory, where would it be?

[soft leaf]

maybe you got an upgrade kit

those have a chance to be replaced by the streamlined upgrade kits

and if you don't get the roll, they just vanish

[rancid trout]

Hmm interesting, it was just a piece of chemical retardant or something for armour

[chrome meteor]

Does anyone know what mod does the texture "ui_mmm_faction_na" come from? I keep missing this file.

[red orbit]

Is there a way to get back tooltips showing next to item and not to left corner of display. That is really annoying... I know Gork changed that, but is there way to manually change setting or smth?

[willow hawk]

It's unimportant

[chrome meteor]

ok, thanks

does it have anything to do with the stat bars? Cuz my stat bars are way too long and cover the inventory.

[willow hawk]

Disable Raven's tooltip on the side

[dull sphinx]

Is there any way to get the K98 forester mod (and silencer kit) since he himself doesn't sell it because of G.am.m.a rules? I don't think random stalkers can even spawn with it

[willow hawk]

there's an upgrade kit for sell at NATO traders After 500 rep

[dull sphinx]

Oh that's NeATO, i must have missed it, thanks

[quick fable]

So, with the screen based shaders mod I should be running SSDO and not HBAO? Also had the updated version been implemented?

[dull sphinx]

Im sorry to bother but my game is really missing the Forester kit i think, i visited all traders (using some questionable methods) for confirmation and tried spawning it in debug mode but it simply doesn't exist, the silencer kit is there but the weapon body upgrade itself is not (K98 forester mod), weird stuff

[graceful iron]

go to the mcm and enable gamma compatibility in better stats bars

[willow hawk]

yes run SSDO

I'm glad you are back 🙂

[willow hawk]

Currently, no. I use the previous version which is forced

Because it had issues with the overall brightness of the game and I want to focus on something else than graphics now

[north turret]

I've been running HBAO all this time, what is the difference?

[willow hawk]

SSDO is better

[tranquil lion]

@willow hawk could you share this style for BHS?

[graceful iron]

wat?

[tranquil lion]

I don't play with gamma because I use my own mod pack

[graceful iron]

but isnt that just vanilla BHS ? also the mod page refers to other styles of the UI that you can download and use

[tranquil lion]

I like this style for BHS with a radiation line

[graceful iron]

.... its a mod by itself

wait is it?

[strong ice]

is extra death animations stable? or should I leave it turned off.

and what does the extra item highlight do exactly?

[tranquil lion]

the style that is on moddb is slightly different

[graceful iron]

any new items in your inventory will be highlighted until you hover over them with the mouse

[strong ice]

What about the FDDA rework? it's in the fixes load group but is disabled.

[north turret]

that's a patch and apparently it causes issues

[strong ice]

Yeah, I know it used to cause issues, but I heard that it was fixed a few updates ago?

[graceful iron]

its disabled by default, only fdda and fdda immersive sleep are enabled

[strong ice]

should I leave it disabled?

[graceful iron]

yes

[strong ice]

Aight, cool

[graceful iron]

in the modpack its something called sid HUD that adds the radiation bar, i thought it was a mod by itself but i guess its not?

[tranquil lion]

idk

[willow hawk]

Radiation line is a GAMMA thing. I modified SidHUD heavily. It's therefore not compatible with SIDHUD

[willow hawk]

I'm working on it

[graceful iron]

i am not sure why but it seems when i use fullscreen the game just gets brighter or desaturated ? could have to do with disabled full screen optimization ?

[north turret]

My game looks better Borderless

Fullscreen it's weirdly bright

[quick fable]

thanks man

I come and go, not much time for gaming in my life these days but I like to dip my toe in once in a while

[royal sigil]

So, is SSAO quality probably one of the most taxing settings?

I'm running 3900X, 32GB DDR4 3600, 2080 Ti, and the game was running great 75FPS pegged for hours yesterday, but after tweaking a few settings and a restart today, it tanked down to 30FPS and couldn't figure it out. I turned SSAO back down to medium and restarted the game, and that seemed to have fixed it. All the other settings I can basically nearly max out. Seems weird to me.

[graceful iron]

you should just leave the default gamma visual settings as they are

[royal sigil]

Ohh, that might have been what did it

[graceful iron]

you can get the defaults back by moving the user ltx in gamma modpack patches to your anomaly folder

[royal sigil]

With the reshade, it made the sky too bright and everything under it too dark, so I couldn't see anything

Just gonna adjust those settings in reshade instead

Okay

[graceful iron]

you could change the dynamic tonemap in the mcm

[grave plover]

gamma default settings turn sdao to high, and on medium there isnt a difference at simple eyesight and i got +5fps average ( 1080 ti playing on 1080p with reshade on )

[willow hawk]

Ok I'll change that

[royal sigil]

In Gamma is it safe to store in boxes, or only in various backpacks?

I remember playing regular anomaly years ago and stash boxes being overwritten with other loot, so they weren't viable storage

[unique coral]

@royal sigil you can store in stashes you find and make, with safety.

[royal sigil]

Okay cool

[unique coral]

Should I be taking damage when the sleep bar is around 2 bars? I also take damage around 2 or 3 bars with food and water. Is this intended? No problem if it is, just would make a little more since to take damage when it is empty or maybe that's when you've starved to death?

[north turret]

Pudiste lograr que funcione con la traduccion?

[graceful iron]

you should only take damage from starvation and thirst if the white icons for them show up next to the health UI but the damage is really small, when the icons turn yellow or red they will start doing quite a bit of damage

[unique coral]

Ah ok, I have noticed that. Thank you for clarifying, i still take damage from low sleep though, I'll try to reinstall.

[graceful iron]

wait

low sleep should only make your vision blurry every few seconds

are you sure you are not taking damage from something else?

[unique coral]

Ya, I had the white icon for sleep only, while i was in rookie village.

[graceful iron]

no radiation ?

[unique coral]

I had to go buy some caffeine to make it stop, ya no rads either because i was chugging vodka haha. That was my first thought. Just a weird bug i guess. There is a lot going on after all.

[royal sigil]

Something that annoys me about this game is that it tries to be a bit realistic, survival and all that, but in real life, things like repair kits, files, ram rods, multi-tools and what not aren't consumables to the point that you can only use them a couple of times before they stop working. A file, for example, is something you can use for a lifetime (not twice before it breaks), and a bottle of CRC or Hoppe's lasts months or even years depending on how often you use it (not 5 times). I wonder if there's a mod that makes this more realistic and less ridiculous just for the sake of making the game annoying.

[graceful iron]

its something called game logic and it exists to make the game interesting, harder and balanced

an easy game is not always fun

[unique coral]

I feel you on that but, it is for balance.

[royal sigil]

Oh, I understand that. But it doesn't feel balanced

[graceful iron]

then you are doing something wrong

[unique coral]

Think how easy it would be though if you didn't have to repair or rebuy those.

[graceful iron]

play on easy tourist to get to know the game mechanics and learn how to earn more money and spend less and you will see how easy it is once you use all the features you have in the game instead of trying to make it easier

[unique coral]

If it bothers you that much you could edit values possibly or play on easier economy.

[graceful iron]

quests are your biggest income, craft more and buy less

#│📚manual

[royal sigil]

Nah, the game is doing something wrong. Make the survival portion of it more difficult, and the tools last as long as they should. In real life, other things make surviving difficult. It's weather, exposure, defending against animals and other humans, accidents, injuries, etc. that make surviving difficult. Your tools are the only thing you can often rely on. Sure, tools fail sometimes, but not at this rate.

But I gotcha

I'll tweak settings

I'm going to make everything else more difficult, and make my tools last.

[graceful iron]

the game has its own pace, and currently its working just fine.
feel free to tweak things to your liking but at least try base gamma first if you have not already

[royal sigil]

Just to see a file that breaks after 2 uses made me laugh.. I bought an antique file (probably 50 years old when I bought it) from a thrift store 20 years ago and I still use it to this day. That's all.

😛

[graceful iron]

i am not saying you are wrong, just saying no one ever said this game is realistic and that it should be its a zone with anomalies ffs

all the mechanics and features in it are out of game balance and for keeping the player interested

it will get boring real fast if you have items that last for the whole playthrough

[royal sigil]

I think, perhaps, the file, like the multi-tool, should have a percentage variable in settings instead of 2 set uses. That puts it more in line with natural wear and tear on a tool.

[graceful iron]

multitool already has that...

[royal sigil]

No, I know

but the File doesn't

It only has 2 uses

[graceful iron]

yes, but its inexpensive and its used as a material for crafting

[willow hawk]

Only water is intended

[quick fable]

so, still learning the ropes of the medical system as, I didnt play much beofre, so, leg wounded = bandage, got that far, but then, no sprinting, be careful else bandage falls off, got that, but, is there anything more permanent than bandages?

[unique coral]

Thank you.

[quick fable]

and I am doing the right thing by taking painkillers after injury? aswell as medpack?

[unique coral]

Use bandage then use medkit for health and a post healing item such as ideproffin

[graceful iron]

bandages and then yadulin or ibuprofen, there are other items as well and you can check each item for yellow healing(first aid) dots and white healing dots(post heal).

in item properties

you will need to use first aid and then post heal right after

[quick fable]

is post heal for helping with the limb condition?

[graceful iron]

a medic will heal you fully for 1.8k only if you can make it to one

[unique coral]

Yes sir 👍

[quick fable]

ah gotcha, so speeds it up, however just bandage takes forever

[graceful iron]

no... bandage only gives limbs yellow health which wears off over time

[unique coral]

Bandages stop bleeding. They do not heal.

[quick fable]

ah, right

I did wonder why it didnt do anything

[unique coral]

Once you get it. It's a nice system.

[quick fable]

I take it enemies are slowed down a little too? it feels it, just had my first proper shootout at cordon and combat felt a lot slower paced, really good

[graceful iron]

stalker AI has not been changed

[quick fable]

hmm, feels different, maybe cos I'm approaching them different

[mossy forge]

my Headlamp w/ Oracle psy-stimulator, wont work with hold press N

[quick fable]

is accessible zone recommended on or off?

[mossy forge]

how can i see this settings

[quick cloak]

Can you trade vodka for basic kit? i still see that the text said vodka = beril armor

[mossy forge]

@tidal raft help me for that

[tidal raft]

Are you playing DX8?

[mossy forge]

yes my PC not that good

[quick ravine]

I'm a bit late but 1 thing that helped me a lot to get familiar with the heal / postheal system - You can look at your body parts health on the bottom left while you mouseover healing items. The bar will show you how much of a heal or a post heal you will actually get

[tidal raft]

That's because Beef's NVG doesn't work in DX8, since it's shader-based.
You'll have to disabled Beef's NVG along with some patches.

[mossy forge]

how about DX9

[tidal raft]

You need at least DX10.

See this post for disabling Beef's NVG:
#old-framerate-optimisation message

[mossy forge]

what a different of DX10 and DX10-AVX

whats does mean AVX

[tidal raft]

It's a core optimisation technique for CPUs produced later than 2005.

AVX is highly recommended for almost all players.

[mossy forge]

oh ok thanks

[mossy forge]

should i do for higher fps ?

[tidal raft]

If your computer struggles with frames on higher DX levels, yes.

[graceful iron]

and #old-framerate-optimisation

[tidal raft]

Yes, that's where I linked to.

[graceful iron]

oh.. i didnt check the link

twice is better so they cant miss it

[quick pebble]

Having trouble with the heart of the zone mortal sin quest

The quest won’t progress when I enter the teleport to go to the generators

It just keeps saying to enter the generators

[tidal raft]

Did you try moving around in Generators?

[quick pebble]

I went all the way to the monolith war lab, but I haven’t tried going to the centre yet

[tidal raft]

Which stage of Mortal Sin are you at? Have you been through the Deserted Hospital?

[mossy forge]

my question is little bit dosent mean i just wanna see in my Disocrd Evenet Panel playing anomaly

like that

but its dosent show in my panel

[graceful iron]

you want to disable that?

[mossy forge]

i want to enable that

[graceful iron]

oh

[brisk zinc]

It's enabled by default

[mossy forge]

im now playing anomaly

[graceful iron]

in settings

[graceful iron]

for some games you have to add them yourself

[mossy forge]

yes

thanks

now i can play anomaly xD

[graceful iron]

ah yes, the most important of settings before you play any game

[brisk zinc]

I thought it was enabled by default on Discord

[graceful iron]

yes its enabled, should be at least

[brisk zinc]

In Anomaly (or GAMMA at this point? ) it's enabled by default, I'm sure of it

[dreamy storm]

I wanted to transfer the whole game to a new SSD and got this error. How do you think everything will work normally?

[graceful iron]

path too long ?

[dreamy storm]

yeap

[brisk zinc]

Delete "mods" folder and move it again

[graceful iron]

you have to install again i think, you cant move the mods folder

[warped ginkgo]

where to find advanced tools? or i need to craft them

[graceful iron]

around the warehouses area, agroprom, dark valley and dead city

you can also craft it if you get enough basic ones

[warped ginkgo]

👍

[quick fable]

Is anyone running GTR with gamma or is it still not been made compatible with enhanced shaders?

[graceful iron]

someone mentioned trying to use it in #old-suggest but i am not sure how successful it was

[thorny hazel]

I am running GTR without the shaders folder. Sometimes I get some weird textures/shader issues, especially in underground areas, but otherwise it works ok

[last heron]

Hello everyone. does anyone know if there is a fix for grok masks overhaul for screens 21:9 ? my image is cropped and the steam from the breath is not visible.

I enable steam from breath in main setting btw

[untold spindle]

Hi everyone, am I able to modify settings in the Options menu like graphical settings and keybindings or should I leave those at default? Not sure if those are all configured already with mods in mind

[graceful iron]

if you are trying to change brightness use the mcm dynamic tonemap settings

currently tho gamma defaults are just fine, grok configured them himself except for being a bit too dark or a bit too bright on different screens

[untold spindle]

What about things like Ambient occlusion? SSAO vs HDAO for example

[graceful iron]

yes thats already configured as well

[untold spindle]

ok thanks

Is there a way to set those back to Grok's defaults?

I'm not sure what they were before I changed them around

[graceful iron]

move the user ltx in gammaRC3/gamma/modpack patches to anomaly/appdata

[untold spindle]

awesome thanks!

is the same possible with Reshade?

[graceful iron]

there is also the gamma reshade preset in modpack patches as well yes

in bin

[untold spindle]

Perfect

[vivid basin]

How do you get to the top of limansk

There's a stash there

And I can't find my way once I'm on the other side of the eiver

[junior junco]

Does gamma have upscaled weapon models by default? I used it earlier in EFP 2. Also what about character models?

[graceful iron]

for character models we have dux's character kit
for weapons i have no idea

[fringe radish]

What is the old ammo remover? I want to apply it to EFP

[vivid basin]

Nvm I got ot

[junior junco]

Gamma has one for mutants, but I didn't find anything for weapons

[tidal raft]

DICK uses the same polygon count for models, but has updated and higher resolution for textures.

[graceful iron]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/old-ammo-soft-removal-old-becomes-normal-ammo/

[fringe radish]

Thanks, I wasn't sure which of the addons it was

[graceful iron]

right click and visit moddb page

[junior junco]

Yeah thanks, I was actually asking about textures

[junior junco]

I was taking about bmblbx176 AI upscales. I had all his upscales downloaded when it was still on moddb. Saved it on a portable drive which unfortunately gave up on me recently. I just right now came to know that he removed all of his uploads. Too bad. His work was of very high quality. I think he's also responsible for dynamic mutants?

Does any one have the above files. I have the one for weapons.

[warped ginkgo]

dont they make the objects more sharpy and consume more resources?

[junior junco]

Its not about sharp. They are of very very high quality. I dont remember having any fps drops unlike for HD models

I'm sure someone here would have them

[tidal raft]

Are you talking about this?
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/high-resolution-mutants

Because AI upscaling isn't necessarily good for all things.

[junior junco]

No. The one I'm taking about was so much better. Sadly I dont have any screenshots to show. I think the one you have mentioned is bundled with gamma. It was by an uploader named bmblbx176. He's not on moddb now. Like I said, he was responsible for dynamic mutants and dynamic nocturnal mutants. I only have just started gamma so I'm yet to compare.

[tidal raft]

No. "High resolution mutants" is not in GAMMA.

This is in the pack:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/umbrellords-hd-mutant-models-wip

[junior junco]

Ok I was talking about HD mutants models and textures by Umberllalord

[tidal raft]

Quite the change of subject.

[warped ginkgo]

anyway, i doubt grok will add any ai upscale addon, but you can add them yourself in gamma, they shouldn't conflict with anything

[north turret]

What is AI upscale

[junior junco]

Found what I am searching for. Provak has posted the link in one of his uploads.

[tidal raft]

Provak
That explains it.

[tidal raft]

AI Upscaling is an automated procedure by an artificial intelligence designed to improve the visual quality and resolution of a low quality image.

[junior junco]

I dont want his mod. Only the upscaled texture for base anomaly models

[north turret]

[tidal raft]

The results of which can wildly vary depending on the algorithms.

[north turret]

doesn't gamma have Remade Models aswell as DICK

[tidal raft]

Yep.

[junior junco]

This is the link if anyone wants it http://www.mediafire.com/file/vfla9158vo2alqw/addons.rar/file

about 10. 3 gb!!!

[north turret]

[tidal raft]

Yeah no. That will surely cripple loading times like crazy for some people.

[junior junco]

Ok. I will download it myself and check if its the same. If it is, maybe post in additional addons?

[tidal raft]

You can, but I can assure you—it will not be a part of this modpack.

[junior junco]

Yes. I agree. Its for all those who would like a bit of eye candy and those who have rigs capable of handling it. I'm running a rtx 2070, but I had severe frame drop issues with raito's HD models but not with this. Anyway thanks

[tidal raft]

Make sure to provide a sample screenshot for any potential users when you do.

[flat knot]

My understanding of the heart junkifact is that it'll kick in health regen below 25% health. Am I right on that?

[tidal raft]

Yep.

[flat knot]

Thanks, just making sure my reading comprehension is relatively up to snuff

[ripe junco]

Do silencers have any effect on ballistics or ai? As I understand they degrade weapons faster so I've never used them. Is there any benefit?

[north turret]

Coupled with crouching and some range the people you shoot at will stumble about trying to locate you for a few seconds

well quite a few seconds actually

if you shoot loud they always insta shoot back

[graceful iron]

they only reduce muzzle velocity, but for positives they make you harder to spot while shooting i think, probably works better with stealth kills

[pliant garnet]

Can i ask if anyone has tried running GAMMA on a Steam Deck yet? I've seen a video of anomaly 1.5.1 running but not sure if the deck could take all the mods.

[wispy loom]

This is more of a general anomaly question, but if I turn off dynamic anomalies in the middle of a run, will the anomalies then return to their static placements or will they stay where they were last dynamically placed?

If that makes sense.

[vivid basin]

Can you do anything with spare gunsmith tools ?

[graceful iron]

sell them to mechanics or ecologists

[vivid basin]

Aight

[lapis wing]

Is there anything I can do with 0% parts or are they just trash?

[graceful iron]

for gun parts, they are just trash. but for armor parts check if they have a hammer in their icon as that means they are used for crafting

and you dont need good condition parts for crafting

the rest is trash tho

[lapis wing]

That's very helpful, thanks

[brave hemlock]

The generator doesn't charge the armor?

lol

I pbbly want too much

[brave hemlock]

where do we get the blueprints for power supply?

[brisk zinc]

"Some traders sell very specific items, like Prof. Sakharov and Hermann sell the Artefacts Melter, a GAMMA specific toolkit that let's you empower and craft artefacts (and you can break artefacts with it to replenish the melter's power). They also sell exoskeletons' PSU recipes at Supplies Lv 5."

"All recipes are available from the start, including cooking recipes. You'll just need to farm monolith exos to get special exo batteries crafting recipes."

[brave hemlock]

who's Hermann?

[brisk zinc]

You mean Joe?

[wraith token]

Joe Hermamma?

[brisk zinc]

Joke's done, back to serious answers
