I have more stashed. I tend to use the lower quality stuff and stash the rest

I have also sold some when out and about to get rid of weight

[dapper iron]

Grok change the damage of weapons in the past few days?. My sks that always oneshot now need like 10 bullets to kill the same guys. My barrel is 98% by the way.

[brisk zinc]

Maybe you're using the wrong bullets?

[delicate wharf]

my sks was still shredding last night

[north turret]

i always wondered

i have lasers/flashlight on my AK, how do i activate them

[graceful iron]

only laser works, hold L #│💻keybinds-in-gamma

thats sick

[west heath]

how can you repair gun barrels?

[graceful iron]

repair kit

[hoary veldt]

You have to use a repair kit on them. Either that, or replace the barrel entirely

[graceful iron]

#│📚manual

[west heath]

damn, army repair kits are impossible to find

[hoary veldt]

Make 'em

[tidal raft]

See Pinned.

[hoary veldt]

Always make your own stuff before buying 'em

[graceful iron]

you are not supposed to find repair kits, craft them

[west heath]

even more difficult haha

[delicate wharf]

you can buy the things needed to craft repair kits from traders, might have to hit up 2 of em depending on how much you already have

[west heath]

its just the basic tools, need 5 to make medium toolkit in order to make army kit, but you cant craft basic tools afaik and i've only found two

[delicate wharf]

ah yea

i'm on the first run where I have had to grind enough basics

I usually find adv kit in the first 4-5 stashes in agro lmao

[graceful iron]

find an advanced kit, they are in stashes in army warehouses/ agroprom/ dark valley/ dead city

[delicate wharf]

Just keep grinding missions for stashes you will get either enough basic kits or an adv

why am I loosing health? I just stand still my stats are normal

[graceful iron]

hungry ?

eat snickers

[hollow wyvern]

but hunger is white

[tidal raft]

You're starving.

[delicate wharf]

yea if you close your inv you will see a yellow food icon bot left

[graceful iron]

i can literally see you are starving even without watching the video

[hollow wyvern]

yeah, I closed it. you cant see it on the video
my hunger is white

[graceful iron]

[hollow wyvern]

and drink is yeallow

[delicate wharf]

oh yea drink something asap

[tidal raft]

"Drink" being yellow causes health loss.

[graceful iron]

drink is white

[delicate wharf]

chug that energy drink you got

or just the water to not waste it

[west heath]

btw whats the significance of the bars not being equal in height? or is that just design?

[delicate wharf]

its just to help you figure out how many bars I think

every fifth bar is small so you can see

[west heath]

ah

[hollow wyvern]

very strange. I thought you start loose heath when you have red icon

[noble oar]

my mod load order got FUBAR'ed somehow, any way to fix?

[graceful iron]

click sort by priority in mo2 ?

[hollow wyvern]

which one

[tidal raft]

#│🔧troubleshooting message

[graceful iron]

can you screenshot how "fubared" exactly ?

[noble oar]

everything is in the wrong category lol

[graceful iron]

if priority does not do it, follow this

[graceful iron]

white thirst and yellow food will start dealing damage

you have both..

[noble oar]

i did the unscramble thing but why is trader overhaul in visual lmao

[hollow wyvern]

no

[graceful iron]

i told you, you are sorting by mod name, click on sort by priority

[noble oar]

okay, yes, I didnt know things transcended categories when not on priority.

we're good

[hollow wyvern]

so I guess thirst bar is kinda broken. It is 50% fill, but icon is yellow
hunger bar is 1/3 and icon is white

[graceful iron]

its not broken

[real chasm]

nope, something was being strange. working fine now

[tidal raft]

Working as intended.
Humans die from thirst earlier than starvation.

[real chasm]

it sounds like sarcasm but it's not: genuinely love when the systems are so deep that it's hard to tell if something is a bug or a feature

[hollow wyvern]

so, maybe make bar depleting quicker?
because right now it is not obvious: one bar has 3/6 state - and it has yellow icon and I lose health. Other bar (hunger) is 2/6 - icon is white and no health lose

[tidal raft]

No need. Just pay attention to the icons on your heads-up display.
Eat and/or drink whenever the icons are white.

[hollow wyvern]

#╰🩹known-issues message do you still need help in translation from ru to en?

can someone explain me how full healing (white) works? I have ibuprofen - but when eat it - my legs are not healing.
BUT! After I eat something that give me temporally healing of legs - only after that ibuprofen will hill my legs

high gloss values

[fiery notch]

its at 0.5?

lowest i can really set it

help

it persists across load screens and setting gloss factor to 0

[north turret]

is there any way, be it with mods or settings idk, to make the grass look less "flat" and sparsely distributed without tanking my fps? i think i had a mod enabled in anomaly that used grass models that looked like tarkov's and it looked quite good, but i can't find it currently.

[limber sorrel]

thats aggressors grass I think

[willow hawk]

Try increasing it

[fiery notch]

fixed it by going into the config and setting gloss to 0.1

[willow hawk]

Agressor grass yes. There's Agressor already, just right click > reinstall mod.

[willow hawk]

It's a matter of just changing the values yes

[fiery notch]

isnt it already installed though

[willow hawk]

It's a bit of a bug, but I didn't have it in my last 12h of playthrough or so

[willow hawk]

Yes but I didn't enable Agressor grass. Only ground

[fiery notch]

i dont see it in the reshade options but aggressor was among the mods that were being installed

so how do you enable it

[willow hawk]

Yes cause I only installed the ground textures

[fiery notch]

oh

i see

right then

[willow hawk]

I wrote it like 5 message before

Agressor grass yes. There's Agressor already, just right click > reinstall mod.

[fiery notch]

you said the other person should reinstall the mod

[fiery notch]

enabled doesnt mean not installed

ill try it, default anomaly grass is kinda crusty

[willow hawk]

Yes, to enable grass

[fiery notch]

right then

the phrasing just confused me

[slow fox]

How often do yall update the gamma mod pack?

[limber sorrel]

whats the normal alife switch distance used in gamma?

and would anything game breaking happen if I were to lower it

[meager cradle]

somehow I can't increase the uses of the sleeping pills. I want to increase it to 5 instead of 2, but after I edit the section for sleeping pills in items_drugs.tlx, when I'm ingame every sleeping pill item I buy from traders/spawn via debug menu only has 2 uses.
Other items in items_drugs.tlx are not affected by this and I can increase the uses of psyblock or caffeine to 10 if I like. Only sleeping pills don't work for some reason?

[grave plover]

standard 750 like anomaly, if you lower it i dont think you will break anything you will get more stutters when you are in range of the alife

[limber sorrel]

I used to play at a very low switch distance before I moved to gamma, and I barely had stutters but the high switch distance is killing my fps

[red orbit]

For artifact hunting quest, artifacts in dog mincer and bedrock claws are not spawning. Is my save fcked? Or Bear detector is not good enough and need Veles?

[strong ice]

Sometimes the artefacts get thrown far-ish away, that could be the problem, othertimes I've had them fall through the map. try searching around in a radius. if that doesn't work, use the F7 debug mode to spawn in the artefacts, I had a similar issue happen to me, I just spawned in artefacts until I got a notification for the quest, turned it in, then "donated" the rest of the artefacts I spawned with.

[fallow sequoia]

Make a grizzly

[desert owl]

Does sleeping heal limbs or total health?

[meager cradle]

both

[desert owl]

nice

[meager cradle]

oh wait, just tried it and sleeping healed my limbs but not my total health. Could've sworn sleeping would heal both....

[sharp roost]

It should

[red orbit]

Can you tell commands for it? Never used debug mode.

Also pressing F7 doesnt to do anything

[meager cradle]

You have to enable debug mode in the Anomaly Launcher like shown below

When you've enabled debug mode, go ingame, load a save, then press F7 and you're in debug mode. Since you want to spawn objects into the world or in your inventory, in debug mode press 1 on your keyboard and you're in the object spawn menu. Then simply choose the category and item you want and click on its icon. It will spawn in your inventory.

[odd finch]

Hey guys, I know i have a mission to destroy a mutant lair from Fanatic.. but i dont remember where he said to go, and pressing J t get task information just says to go destroy the lair.. no info on where. am i missing a journal style thing to read where he said it was?

[grave plover]

open pda and go to messages

[odd finch]

awesome, thank you

[strong ice]

You have to do what @meager cradle said, You open the install folder location for where you have Anomaly installed, double click the Anomaly.exe, tick "Debug mode" in the launcher, launch the game, close it, open the Gamma mod like normal, launch it, load your save, press F7 which opens the debug menu, then press "1" or click the "item spawner (1)" button, then go to "Items (artefacts)" and start clicking artefacts on the list, left click adds them to your inventory, after you get the notification for the task pop up you know you have at least one of the artefacts you need, then you keep spawning them until you get all of the ones you need, then you go to the guy you turn the task into, "the job is done" and then "donate" the remaining artefacts to a random stalker/trader, to donate items you just right click them and press "donate", Also before doing this I'd suggest going into godmode to prevent radiation poisoning, easiest way to do that is by pressing F7 then pressing "G", it should say in the console window thing on the left side of the debug menu "God enabled_1" or something, and then in the bottom right hand of your screen while playing it'll say "DEMO" while in godmode, after you're done press F7, and "G" again, and you're good to go. if it doesn't want to disable it by pressing "G", then you may have to click the "God" button in the F7 debug menu.

If you need more help I can walk you through it via screen share if necessary.

Another way you can do it if you don't want to donate a bunch of spare artefacts to people, is to figure out the artefacts you need just like I explained before, but after figuring out the exact ones you need, you reload your save, and only spawn those 1 or 2 artefacts, then you just repeat the steps I said previously, and you're good to go.

Is it just me, or is Jupiter and everything in it too glossy?

[fresh aspen]

There's any mod to disable PiP in PK-A scope with BaS? All scopes have 2D models but this one is still PiP. Performance loss is too drastic to play with this.

[flat folio]

Is it one of the yellow text scopes?

[fresh aspen]

I mean this one

[whole pewter]

Svarog detector is the nuts (you can make one), and also some artifacts are up above the ground, like with the Vine artifacts in Pripyat area 🙂

[graceful iron]

yes pip scopes are bad, but you have many other options also are you even on RC3 ?

[fresh aspen]

Nope, haven't updated yet.

Had a soild pause with playing games for some time

[willow hawk]

#│🔧troubleshooting gloss

[willow hawk]

Just don't use that scope...

[fresh aspen]

Sure I can, but it looks cool and I'm just asking.

[rotund moss]

i get why the scope looks cool, but yeah atm there is nothing that changes it from being a PiP scope, and since BAS PiPs half your FPS on use you should stay away from it, sadly

[red orbit]

As I remember for that I need expert tools. Never had those xD

[fresh aspen]

And that's what I expected. Maybe thought that there's a setting or mod to disable it but if there's nothing to do with that I'll stick to other scopes. Thanks

[whole pewter]

Indeed. Well, even with the lower tier detectors, it's still worth remembering that we play in a 3D environment, so not all artifacts are on ground level 🙂

[red orbit]

Huuuge thx! It was so easy to do... Managed to get them like this.

is there a way to repair individual parts of your body? my leg is really damaged but ive got nearly full HP

[tidal raft]

#│📚manual

[graceful iron]

bandage and then painkillers like yadulin or ibuprofen

also, #│📚manual

[desert owl]

checked aswell, doesnt seem that sleeping actually restores base hp

[grave plover]

if your limbs are full hp it does

[desert owl]

so, you gotta go to sleep with fully healed limbs to restore total hp?

[tidal raft]

Yes.

[grave plover]

you can sleep to restore the limbs then use the perk artefacts to heal base hp afterwards you wake up

[desert owl]

speaking of, how do you equip artefacts? I cant seem to d that

[desert owl]

yeah, when i drag and drop artefacts into it, it just doesnt

[tidal raft]

What's the artefact in question?

[desert owl]

sourpuss

okay so, apparantly drag and drop doesnt work, but right click add to belt does

never used anything but drag and drop, so didnt realise

[grave plover]

double click works too

[brittle apex]

I am not very into new artifacts condition system. Is there any way to modify the files to bring back the old condition pool?

[brave nexus]

So quick question if i want to modify a mods config files (like turning on easy healing mode) i do that in the gamma/mods folder ?

[willow hawk]

Disable GAMMA economy

[long grove]

What are the real differences between difficulties? Are medium and hard just damage buffs for NPC's? Or do they better accuracy or something? For progression difficulty is it less availability at traders with less faction rep per task or?

[tidal raft]

You can see all the differences in the Settings menu > Difficulty progression.
Create two, or more, saves with different difficulties and compare their settings.

[keen rover]

Is there a way to get specific armor parts? I had 100k already but running in 0% gear because I cannot find specific parts and a lot of armors use kinda unique parts that not many other armors have.

[long grove]

Thanks. Missed those menus some how. Are there any files that I can access outside the game that have all the values so I can compare quicker?

Also what does harcdore AI option do?

[tidal raft]

"Hardcore AI Aim" makes NPCs have near perfect tracking while you are moving. You won't be able to run or move during firefights without becoming swiss cheese.

[long grove]

yikes

[tidal raft]

There's probably a preset of difficulties somewhere among the gamma add-ons. No idea where though.

[long grove]

go into the details of the armor you want to repair and see what repair kit it needs. Get /craft that kit and have it in your inventory. Use sewing kits and other materials to repair any of the parts you do have for that armor as high as you can get them. Use a techs vice to repair that armor as much as you can even you are missing some components. You need to get the armor above a certain overall condition % so that you can then repair it with sewing kits, etc. As you increase the overall condition of the armor the separate components will have better and better condition.

[hollow wyvern]

does msi afterburner / riva turner works bad with gamma? I have this message in MO2

or is it works bad only for mo2?

[long grove]

I run them with mo2 and gamma. No problems as of yet

[hollow wyvern]

my game just crashed)

[tidal raft]

Anything that hooks onto games managed by MO2 could cause issues/performance drops.

[long grove]

do you have riva hooked into the game @hollow wyvern

my game crashes to desktop everyday so.. I think it's common

[keen rover]

Right, didn't think of that. So if the armor consists of 3 parts, I just need to repair 2 of them to use repair kit for the rest

[hollow wyvern]

IDK
i had fps counter on my ingame screen from asfterburner

so I think - yeas

[long grove]

might want to disable hooking in your global profile in Riva and just add specific .exe's when you need monitoring

[keen rover]

And one more question regarding armor parts... Is there any site or a way to find out besides giving armors myself via debug menu which outfits consist of which parts? So I could hunt for specific faction to find these armors for example

[graceful iron]

yes, in the body health mod's folder

[tidal raft]

There's no wiki for outfit parts. Just disassemble any outfit you aren't going to use, and take any >50% parts you haven't seen before.

[long grove]

armor spreadsheet in #│📚manual but I don't believe it lists individual parts.

[tidal raft]

Just statistics.

[keen rover]

Yeah it does not, I did look there already. Thanks for answers

[graceful iron]

best way to go about collected armor parts is by doing what aldourien told you, disassemble any outfits you see and take the parts that are above 50% since they can be repaired

also you might want to collect the ones with a hammer in their icon since they are used for crafting even if they are low condition

[grave plover]

yes, no problems on my end

[graceful iron]

read the above, its recommended to not use any overlay with gamma

mo2 seems to have issues and can cause bad fps

[tidal raft]

In the end, it's the choice of the end-user. However, should any problems arise we can point to that as the first step of troubleshooting.

[grave plover]

i play all my games with afterburner and rivatuner ON, i use rivatuner to cap my fps and didnt have any issue in gamma

[tidal raft]

Good for you.

[long grove]

I'm going to unhook riva from gamma for a bit and see what kind of performance / stability I get. I don't think I'm going to disable Afterburner though because of fan control.

[grave plover]

Nice, report your findings if it goes well.

What a trojan, thank you microsoft

Well.. Win 11 is still in its infancy. There are bound to be conflicts.

[little igloo]

How do I make traders sell actual guns? I activated trader overhaul but nothing happens

[tidal raft]

Disable Gamma Economy.

[north turret]

any way to get the vanilla health system with UI?

and stamina? cause i disabled it in the gameplay section but it doesn't seem to do anything

[grave plover]

you are gonna have a bad time trying to disable the health system when is attached to so many things

[north turret]

so, no way?

[tidal raft]

As already mentioned, it's quite heavily integrated.
You can try to disable everything related to BHS (Body Health System), but it won't leave much left of the modpack—and will most likely cause a lot of crashing and bugs.

[north turret]

then can i make the campfires to regenerate health faster?

[tidal raft]

That's how it should work, yes.

[north turret]

how do i do that?

ingame?

or in the mod's folder of campfires regenerate health?

[tidal raft]

It's already a passive effect of campfires. If you mean 'how do I increase the rate?' you'll have to dig into the scripts and .ltx-files.

[north turret]

ah ok last thing, Stamina?

is it integrated with BHS?

no way to disable it?

[tidal raft]

Stamina has always been a part of Stalker.

[north turret]

well i disabled it

and i still lose stamina

[tidal raft]

Yes, because it is a base mechanic to the very core of the game series.

You can't get rid of it.

[grave plover]

hunt for artefacts, there is one that amplifies base health regeneration by a campfire

[north turret]

gotcha

[willow hawk]

Hard to find....

But yes there's one

[north turret]

i noticed that on every respawn cycle more and more experienced/higher ranked stalkers replace the ones previously killed, atleast i feel that way because in the South i start to see higher ranked Bandits etc. (so i hope that one of these days a CS noso spawns)

Maybe if i up the random Stalker Squad chance i'll see some CS up north

[tidal raft]

Decrease anything that impacts CPU loads.

[edgy echo]

For g-sync users here : You can use v-sync while using g-sync without input lag increase or performance hit. That is the way gsync was designed to work back in the day. Lock fps atleast 3 fps below your refresh rate so traditional vsync is not triggered. https://blurbusters.com/gsync/gsync101-input-lag-tests-and-settings/14

Random question about the extended radio mod, there is a track listed as ' Animation - Matches ' in playlist 3 , i like the song cant find it anywhere , any ideas ?

[vocal relic]

what does this do?

Animation pack that (for now) is unstable, it's disabled by default, leave it off

[vocal relic]

if I play with all the FDDA animations on is it worth using?

[brisk zinc]

Yes

Don't enable the backpack animation

It's buggy

[tidal raft]

Rather, nearly all those animations (except the eating and drinking) can cause 'busy hands'.

[karmic lava]

anyone know what's causing my weapons to constantly go into animation? Like the jam check animation. I'll just be standing still and he constantly does it which is really off putting as I can't then aim at items to use them. I have to aim down sight to stop it.

(It shouldn't be a bug so that's why I'm writing this here)

Nope, you'll need to turn them off again

It's an automatic thing because there is a file with the load order inside that have a "default" status

So if you turn off one specific mod that is enabled in that file, when you update it will be enabled again

[hollow wyvern]

got it

[brisk zinc]

Probably you're missing mods

How many mods do you have?

Any errors in the command window?

Did you get the new installer in #📢announcements?

Numbers... how many

Are you serious?

Let me ask again, I'll make it longer this time

In your MO2 you have this number, read it and tell me

Yes is that what I wanted, it's a simple question, calm down...

I need to know how many mods do you have because the default number is around 273, that's why

You're also using an extra mod

I don't think that's the issue though

Did you disable anything?

Okay, so again, you're probably missing mods

Just to make sure of it, check pins here and send me your mod list

Yeah you need to do that

Check pins in here

There is a procedure

No sorry wrong channel

#old-only-installer-support message

[brisk zinc]

^

Left click

It should be obvious

You're clicking on the wrong button

You need to click on the little one

Come on

It's even opened for you in the screenshot

Yes go ahead

Okay, you're missing stuff

Again and please answer this time, did you get the new installer in #📢announcements?

Perfect

It shouldn't be needed this time but since I want to be sure, delete your "mods" folder

Keep the extra mods you have of course

The open the installer with admin rights, "Update GAMMA data" and then "Complete GAMMA installation"

Keep an eye on the command window

Yes it should be

Is this your first time?

Why?

GAMMA is basically born with MO2 in mind

Okay but in order to use GAMMA MO2 is basically obligatory

Seriously we have instructions and shit about it why you need to use something specific, me and the other moderators spent hours on here repeating the same two things, don't come here using other stuff that isn't used AT ALL and expect that everything will work

[strong ice]

trying to play Gamma > wont use MO2...

gotta use MO2.

you have to use MO2 is what we're saying,

Im thinking you're a troll tbh

[brisk zinc]

Okay so we have a misunderstanding here, my bad in that case

[brisk zinc]

No it isn't, don't worry

It's an "old" user on here

I've seen him many times

It's all good, all water under the bridge, I get it now, you're NOT USED TO MO2

Right?

[whole pewter]

People have spent many hours typing out & editing clear instructions on how to do things. They can't legislate for every incident or occasion.
I too was used to jsgme, especially from Silent Hunter etc. MO2 is very similar in how it works once you get used to it 🙂

[warped ginkgo]

[strong ice]

Someone also made a video showing instructions on how to set it up. (assuming this is the problem)

[brisk zinc]

No I'm sure he already have everything (I think, I hope)

@north turret you just need to have two folders inside the same drive, Anomaly and GAMMA
Do you have them?

Okay, you're set then
Open your GAMMA folder

[whole pewter]

As John Vick said, there is a link to an older vid of how it's set up in install I think. Even though it's older, it will still give you the rough idea of how MO2 sets up 🙂

[brisk zinc]

You'll find "mods" and "downloads"

Inside "mods", you can also find your extra mods, so that autumn thing and the other one

[hollow wyvern]

I just update modpack - and cant see new menu. Or is it not yet in the modpack?

[brisk zinc]

Take those two mods and keep them like on your desktop, just outside of "mods"

[strong ice]

https://discordapp.com/channels/912320241713958912/912320444911206470/919956031990296626

[brisk zinc]

Not yet in the modpack, it's just a teaser

[strong ice]

Thats the link to the install video

or the channel its in...

fuck

[brisk zinc]

Thank you but we're not doing the whole thing

[strong ice]

Okay my bad, I'm stupid and thought thats what was happening lmao

[brisk zinc]

Then @north turret delete "mods" folder

[brisk zinc]

Just missing mods, nothing difficult

Now, open your new installer

Did you replace it with the new one?

I think so

Okay, open the installer with admin rights, "Update GAMMA data" and then "Complete GAMMA installation"

Keep an eye on the command window, hopefully you won't get any errors

When you're done, open MO2 and check that number I've told you about before

It should be 273 (active mods)

It can't be already finished

You already have them inside "downloads" folder, what we're doing now it's the installation part

[north turret]

can i just press ok or is there something wrong?

[brisk zinc]

The "complete" option is slower but accurate, it can't be just finished

[brisk zinc]

No you can't

Why did you need to reinstall it?

?

[north turret]

cause i want to enable the grass thingy

[brisk zinc]

I think you need to move those folder in order to just have a gamedata folder, I can't help you with that

Check if there is a readme or something

@north turret
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/agressor-reshade
Look in here, you can find how to install it

@north turret just to be sure, is it working?

Let me know when it's done

[stoic axle]

Quick question, where do I find Beefs NVGs to untick it in ModOrganizer?

Can't seem to find it

[tidal raft]

Use the search bar at the bottom of MO2.

[stoic axle]

oh thanks that's super helpful, found it instantly

[brisk zinc]

[tidal raft]

You're too easy on the kids, Falconini.

[brisk zinc]

That's because we don't like the Discord moderator stereotype, we're all friends here...

[north turret]

🤌

[north turret]

thanks bro, you're the chaddest of all mods, worked perfectly

[tidal raft]

It was not meant as a slight towards you, just that we should teach the tools with which end-users can help themselves.

I know, just stating the obvious.

Only by editing .dds-files from what I know.

Since it is a texture.

[desert robin]

*- Replaced the "update install" by "Only install G.A.M.M.A. addons". Run this if you want to update the pack before playing. It doesn't check moddb, it only install GAMMA addons (modifications posted inupdates ). You can run it multiple times a day without any issue with moddb *

So how do we get updates for addons on moddb then...? 🤔

[graceful iron]

complete install with populate mod versions checked

[desert robin]

Oof....

So every time an addon gets updated, if we want just that one updated we need to do a total reinstall?

[brisk zinc]

Glad to hear that
What about those two mods of yours? Works as well?

[brisk zinc]

❤️

[graceful iron]

maybe i am missing something... aldourien ?

[desert robin]

Ok nvm i read the installer. Yes it seems if an addon gets updated, we now need to do a complete reinstall if it's wanted. I might go back to just manually updating stuff.

[tidal raft]

Populate mods does check for versions and already downloaded mods. Old message before I checked..

[graceful iron]

you dont have to update everytime a mod gets a new version, updating gamma became much easier now and updating mods happens every few days or even weeks so its not something you should do often

[jagged lance]

has old ammo been reintroduced into the game or is something wrong with my install

[graceful iron]

you changed this in mcm ?

or disabled the mod ?

[jagged lance]

havent touched the mcm

[graceful iron]

sometimes you will find old ammo, but as soon as you loot it it will turn into normal ammo

[jagged lance]

think i probably messed something up when i replaced the installer with the new 3.2

[graceful iron]

is the mod there and enabled ?

[jagged lance]

seems like thats what happened i cant find the old ammo in my inventory

and i found it on a bandit

mcm is identical

[graceful iron]

thats what happened then, unless its in your inventory then its not a problem and the mod is working as intended

[jagged lance]

cool ty

i didnt know it auto-replaced when you loot

[neat furnace]

Does helicopter patrols work?

Also sorry if this gets asked all the time but advanced tools only spawn up north a certain point? Want to make a better mask so I can explore up north finally

Repairing armors seems difficult, does anyone have any tips?

[vapid dirge]

advanced is more middle of the map, expert is pripyat etc

dismantle most outfits/head gear, slap better pieces on the gear you want then use appropriate kit for the rest of the way

[neat furnace]

Should I just throw out fabrics that are less than 50%? Afaik there is no way to repair them? Thanks

[vapid dirge]

depends, hard to find ones are still good cause it can bump overall condition over 50

then you can use repair kits on the gear itself

[graceful iron]

yes, they can be enabled but disabling them is more of an issue unless you can take down what already spawned
advanced tools can be crafted using 5 basic toolkits or found in marked stashes in agroprom/army warehouses/dead city/dark valley and even further north
disassemble all outfits and collect any parts that are 50% + since they can be repaired

[neat furnace]

Thank you guys

[desert robin]

Any news on Angry Chimera Growl? its sitting as disabled. Is it being removed or will it be fixed or replaced?

[graceful iron]

you can enable it, not broken but suspected to be causing performance issues

[north turret]

Hey everyone! Enjoying the modpack, but I'm new here and am having random crashes in Outskirts playing Monolith story mode. Can't seem to narrow it down, and the crash logs seem to reference different things each time. Sometimes something about radiation zones, other times about missing files, etc.

I've gone through the steps in the troubleshooting channel under the "crashing after fresh install" section to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I haven't added any other mods than the ones included in GAMMA also.

[graceful iron]

how many mods active and are there any red crosses on any mods (besides maids icons)? and is this story mode only ?

also for crashes use #old-bugs

[north turret]

Story mode only, Mod Organizer 2 shows 273 active mods. One shows a red cross, seems to be an inactive icons pack.

Oh, sorry about posting in the wrong channel. Should I repost this there now?

[graceful iron]

no its fine, just for further bug reports

[north turret]

Will do, thank you.

[graceful iron]

did you get any errors while installing the pack in the cmd? did you try doing a complete installation ? i am not sure what could be causing this error unless its missing mod files but its highly unlikely with that error i think

[north turret]

Not the main installer window, but the secondary command line window did display a few errors when installing, but I can't recall exactly what they said.

After noticing, and seeing the message in the updates channel here I followed the "if you have issues" instructions from the updates_pack channel. The black command line window displayed more, but different looking, errors from what I recall. Can't say for sure what they said though, sorry. Does that window produce a log somewhere I could post?

If it helps, in game I am running from the entrance to Outskirts from Pripyat northwards towards the movie theatre. Game crashes when I get about halfway there in different spots.

[graceful iron]

the installer itself does generate a log in gammaRC3/grok's modpack installer but not sure if much can be found there, what version is the installer you have ?

[north turret]

I have 3.2 installed.

This is the second log, but a cursory scan doesn't reveal any error messages that were displayed in the other screen.

This is a common theme I'm seeing the crash logs if it helps.

[graceful iron]

i really have no idea, but it must be something that has to do with the installer errors

[north turret]

No worries, thank you for your help. I'll try screencapping the installer errors tomorrow when I get a chance and posting them in the bugs channel.

[graceful iron]

we could try one more complete installation till grok is online and maybe takes a look at this

[north turret]

It's a new save, so I'm not married to it, ha. Will try to reinstall in 12-16 hours and we'll see how it goes. Thank you again for your time.

[molten tartan]

I found an AK PMC with laser and light attached. I can turn on the laser by long pressing L but how can I turn on the light mounted on the weapon?

[graceful iron]

the light is just a part of the model

[neat furnace]

how do i teleport my companions? They’re like 500 meters away but I press J and nothing happens

[graceful iron]

enable the mod first

[north turret]

this is a very specific question i think, but anyway-
when screenshotting and recording stuff with Radeon ReLive -or whatever it's called- in anomaly, all the recordings would go to the folder named "anomaly", but when playing gamma all of the screenshots and videos go to the "unknown" folder, which is the same one for desktop screenshots and etc., does anyone know why that is?

[wise sparrow]

if you're launching it from MO2 that could be why. try launching your gamma install directly from the exe in the anomaly folder and see if that makes a difference.

[graceful iron]

or it could be that you are on borderless ? try fullscreen ?

[north turret]

yeah i am
launching from the exe in anomaly? but that just boots up vanilla anomaly, no?

[graceful iron]

no, i guess they mean this ?

[north turret]

a

im rarded

[wise sparrow]

thinking about it i'm not sure that will work though. i thought there was a way to have MO2 create hard copies of all the mod files into your game install but I can't find it so I may be misremembering what it can do and thinking of another mod app.

[brisk zinc]

The Anomaly launcher in MO2 launch GAMMA

[graceful iron]

i dont think it works like that either, but at least give it a shot i guess

[north turret]

Is there a list for faction patch trade rewards?

[graceful iron]

the lottery ? not really but you could probably find all the items in the config file for it ? not sure

[north turret]

Yeah the merc trader, coz I got basic tools only with 30 military patches while in rc1 I don't get that reward for that much patches

[graceful iron]

it got changed completely since RC1

[tacit sparrow]

Which factions got new story lines?

[graceful iron]

#│📚manual clear sky, military and ecologists but more factions have access to these storylines

[willow hawk]

You fast travel and they didn't teleport with you ;(

[willow hawk]

It's random anyways and I changed the rewards

[north turret]

But does it still give the remington gun? Really like that in rc1

[willow hawk]

No of course not

It was clearly an abuse

You can get exclusive pistols as well as MP7 and P90 with tons of ammo

And tons of artefacts

And basic and advanced toolkit

[sterile cedar]

i kinda fucked up and reinstalled reshade to get more shaders so i could try other reshade presets and now gamma reshade doesnt work, all the shaders got turned off and idk wich ones to turn on, can someone take a screenshot of the shader effects so i can turn them back on?

what artefacts do kovalev need

i have these but the quest wont progress

[lapis silo]

Depending on the quest, you need 3 of them. You probably missed one

[jagged lance]

whats the closest stash to mangun?

[lapis silo]

Make your own or use the one in the bar. There is one in the far back corner next to Navigator

[jagged lance]

forgot i could make my own ty

[neat furnace]

Anyway to fix this? :<

[grave canopy]

i was in all three anomalies

[lapis silo]

Other junk artifacts can still spawn there, so you might have mistook one for a quest artifact. Check again and if you really cant find anything, you can use debug to spawn them in. They bug out and disappear sometimes (never happened to me)

all the quest artifacts are prefixed by ah_ in the debug menu, so just spawn each of them in until the quest updates (and discard the rest)

[willow hawk]

#│🔧troubleshooting copy content of modpack_patches to Anomaly folder

[willow hawk]

[willow hawk]

It's currently bugged a bit sadly... I'll fix it

[wraith token]

Seems moreso to do with what you have your companions doing at the time of a fast travel. I stop steath and make sure they are following me. Never had an issue if I do both of those things before a fast travel.

[bright seal]

Anyone know where this guy is?

[ember herald]

#🔨base-gamma-support message

[bright seal]

Thank you

[bright seal]

I seem to have initiated into Clear Sky without realising. Am I going to need to use debug to change back to Loner?

I guess that happened from one of the quests I just did

Also - Is there any Loner specific questlines? Or could I feasibly continue as clear sky and not miss any questline

[static lake]

anyone know what mod the skinning animation is? it doesn't play for me. all FDDA mods are on and all other food animations work fine

[bright seal]

FDDA is turned off as its causing issues

[tidal raft]

FDDA is still in the modpack, only the eating, drinking, and medical animations are activated.
If you really want to test your luck by using the field dressing animations you can enable them in MCM.

[magic reef]

I have had them on for a week. Have not noticed any issues

[tidal raft]

You can use field dressing animations, I do as well. You just have to be very deliberate about your actions to not get 'busy hands'.

[static lake]

i think i just had mutant loot animations turned off for FDAA

[worldly plaza]

So using installer 3.2, all I need to do is press Update GAMMA data, then 'only install gamma addons' and boom, I'm updated with the latest mods/updates? I love things that make it easy.

[mossy forge]

when time i try to load my save game got crash DX8 AVX

[quick pebble]

Why does Jupiter fuck you up in the UNISG play through

You can’t exactly get a psyband cuz the ecologists Kos you

[tidal raft]

Spawn one from debug.

[quick pebble]

Well as long as I’m being told to do that in order to fix it

Hmmm it seems I’m still dying from the field even after doing that

Nvm reloading a save fixed it

[static lake]

i just disgused as a Loner.

[rotund moss]

playing as UNISG is essentially a Spy run anyway

[tidal raft]

Hon hon hon!

[hollow wyvern]

or I can create new Profile in MO2 with my selected mod litst.
but I should be aware that there wasn't new mods added in gamma modpack.

[tidal raft]

That profile won't be updated with any new mods or load orders that Grok may add to the list.

[hollow wyvern]

yeah, so I should check it manualy

[static lake]

i just discovered a hotel Pollisiya mission from doctor. is that part of the Clearsky storyline?

[tidal raft]

No. It's a part of Mystery of the Zone.

Available to all factions neutral to Clear Sky, including themselves.

[static lake]

I'm guessing it's in the base game? i don't see it in the storylines section of #│📚manual

[tidal raft]

No. It is an existing storyline from CoC.
It was just recently added as the "MOTZ dialogue enabler" to GAMMA. The storylines list hasn't been updated with that in mind.

[nimble cargo]

I have a quest to get an artefact from the meat grinder in the generator area but have no clue as to where to go to get underground, anyone know where the entry is?

[viral stone]

What is more common among the zone 9x19 or 9x18?

[tidal raft]

Both are rather equally common across the entire Zone.

[viral stone]

hmmm then i guess i will go based on the gun upgrades i like more

[tidal raft]

Below Red Forest, the 9x18 is a bit more common.
Red Forest and above, 9x19 is more common.

Not by much though. In my opinion, if you can—use the 9mm parabellum.

[viral stone]

im happy if i survive Garbage/Dark valley at this point

[fiery notch]

anyway to get stuff looking better in the distance

[tidal raft]

Increase the draw distance in Settings > Visuals > Advanced.

Otherwise, no. You'd have to modify billboard images directly.

[static lake]

so I updated my instaler to 3.2 and when i press "allow powershell scripts" it says

Launching PowerShell scripts is now allowed and PowerShell can write files in paths longer than 248 characters, using the following commands:
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force
Set-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem' -Name 'LongPathsEnabled' -value 1

will this break something if continue?

[neat relic]

That's what it's supposed to say

[tidal raft]

No. It should work as intended.

[static lake]

alr. the message last installer was a bit different so i got worried lol

[fiery notch]

also, anyone else encounter visual bugs like the shit on the left in the bottom image too?

[static lake]

what bug?

[tidal raft]

Engine limitations when it comes to drawing shadows far away and strange angles.

[static lake]

allow power shell scripts
launch mo2
update gamma
only install gamma addons

that's the right procedure for updating right?

[sterile cedar]

need help, i cant for the life of me find this guy, im guessing the road they mention is this road, i already went all the way from the renegade camp on the top left to the level changer on the top right, cleared out that entire northern section but cant find any corpse nor any mutants there, where exactly is this guy?

Hey does anyone know which line/lines in items_devices.ltx or any other file controls the position in which the detector is 'attached' to the left hand? Cause it seems like it's different for when you hold a bolt and when you hold a pistol and it's been annoying me quite a bit.

Really don't know what that could be

Apparently it's this one

Maybe you're missing mods?

How many do you have?

[static lake]

269. that's without me checking any additonal mods

[brisk zinc]

Okay you're missing mods

[static lake]

delete mods folder and reinstall?

[brisk zinc]

We have a new installer in #📢announcements that should avoid doing that (the "delete mods folder") but I'm not entirely sure about it

Since we want to be sure about it, yes, do that

Also did you get the new installer?

Go get it

[static lake]

i did get it. that's what I used to update

[whole pewter]

This is bugged. The entrance to the underground section is to the NW part of the map in Generators. It's where you meet the medic in Strelok's team in Operation Afterglow. It looks like a cave entrance. When you go to the back of that there's a broken elevator (lift) top. You can squeeze through the fence gap and then climb the stairs down to the right. Down there's a large complex based on The Brain Scorcher complex. At the end of it, at the top of all the staircases in a massive room is where that artifact is SUPPOSED to spawn.
However, it is bugged. It spawns above that level, and from the surface in the middle of Generators map it appears below ground.
There are 2 ways around this. 1. Using Game Record mode in debug you can go through the ground (or up from below) into the slight terrain cavity to grab the aftifact. This is the complicated way.
or 2. You can simply spawn the artifact from the debug menu. Sorry, but I can't remember its name off the top of my head.

I did make a post about this spawn error somewhere in feedback at about 1am this morning, my time.

[brisk zinc]

Good good

Then do that procedure

Update GAMMA data > Complete GAMMA installation

[static lake]

will do

also to be clear the "Only install GAMMA addons" is for when there's a update in #📢development right?

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[static lake]

that's what i did before it broke

[brisk zinc]

If you want to update the mods inside the pack (if there is an update), you need to do a complete installation

[static lake]

ah i see

[brisk zinc]

And like I said, if you want to update, you don't need to delete the folder

But I'm still not sure about it, I need to ask Grok

[static lake]

alright. so to update I need to press both complete installation and only install gamma addons?

[brisk zinc]

"- For the slow and complete update process, there's no need to delete the mods folder anymore, the installer do it automatically while installing stuff."

It should be okay to not delete the "mods" folder at all

[brisk zinc]

Since we're going for a full installation, you shouldn't need to press both of them, but it's a first even for me

For now do this:

1. Update GAMMA data
2. Complete GAMMA installation
3. Just to be sure and to see if you don't have the new updates, Only install GAMMA addons

[static lake]

alright. and yeah i think i did have missing addons. it's downloading something from Dux's innumerable characters kit

[torn sonnet]

quick question -- since ultimately it's just a mo2 installation, it should be possible to opt-out of some mods right? i'm not a huge fan of stuff like weapon parts overhaul

[tidal raft]

WPO is fairly heavily integrated with the modpack. You can try to disable it, along with other addons that correlate to it—but you'll quickly find that the modpack will be quite bare boned.

[torn sonnet]

ah interesting, ok. i just don't like the gun jam controls part

but the idea applies right? you can disable features via mo2

[tidal raft]

You can, but expect crashes, bugs, and other potential problems if you begin gutting out the modpack more than the add-ons under "Optionals".

[torn sonnet]

ok sounds good

thanks!

[runic plume]

Quick question. Since im currently playing EFP , can I install Anomaly a second time in a fresh folder and then install gamma there or do I have to remove EFP completely?

[neat relic]

No they'll work completely independently

I have vanilla, EFP and Gamma all in different folders

[runic plume]

Cool , thanks man

[brisk zinc]

The only thing you need to check is just the way you installed MO2 (if you have it)

Make sure it's not installed with "Global", better yet, uninstall it

It's better to have multiple portable instances instead of just one that can bring issues (especially with GAMMA)

Apart from this, like Calynxx already said, you're good to go

[runic plume]

Understood , thanks for the help guys

[willow hawk]

Most likely you need a complete install update

[junior badge]

hi why always after looting mutants game change my weapon on weapon i have in knife place?

[brisk zinc]

Yes we sorted it out

[willow hawk]

[brisk zinc]

@willow hawk that's a good question

I wanted to ask it myself

[willow hawk]

Cause that's how it is with FDDA....

[brisk zinc]

No wait the thing now is different

[willow hawk]

I'm working on a proper overhaul of FDDA

Before it was using my overhaul of FDDA, but it was causing busy hands

[brisk zinc]

Basically if you go in with a gun, at the end of the animation, what you have in the "knife" slot, replace your gun

[brisk zinc]

So that's why it was better

[willow hawk]

Yes lol

[brisk zinc]

So it's intended that it does that annoying thing, okay

[willow hawk]

but I'll work on it so you can actually open your inventory during animations

[brisk zinc]

In the mean time, can we just disable the skinning animation?

I don't know if it's possible

[willow hawk]

It's already disabled

[brisk zinc]

But

[willow hawk]

code thing

[brisk zinc]

Everytime I skin something it plays one animation

[junior badge]

i was atacked by merc in garbage and i die, cos after scining i was with my knife in hand but not my ak 😄

[willow hawk]

it plays the base game fake anims

[brisk zinc]

Oooh okay and since it's a code thing you can't just remove it, okay

I'll wait for your better thing then

[junior badge]

ok then we need to wait and remember to not loot mutants if someone is nerby 😄

[brisk zinc]

For the time being, yes

[junior badge]

😄

and i found that butcher pays more money for mutants parts and have better ammo price

[graceful iron]

yes thats always been the case

[static lake]

so in the trader destockifier optional addon there's weapon settings for vendors. does that override GAMMA and start spawning weapons on traders?

[lapis silo]

May this be due to the mod that lets you skin mutants with the knife in your backpack? In vanilla Anomaly you have to have to knife in your hands, so maybe thats the reason

Game thinks "Oh damn, he needs that knife equipped tho" and equips whatever is in your knife slot

[quick fable]

how do I adjust the specular shine on objects? It could do with dulling a fair bit IMO. namely on grass when the sun is shining

[neat relic]

I wondered the same, but based on this comment on the moddb page it shouldn't

[static lake]

Alright thanks

[brisk zinc]

Gotta find that mod then

[brisk zinc]

This is what it does

And no, no weapons or armors

If you want them back, you need to disable GAMMA Economy and enable Trader Overhaul

[neat relic]

I mean the wording "randomize" makes it sound like it could throw anything into the traders stocks

if you get (un)lucky enough

[graceful iron]

you dont have to enable trader overhaul, its just another option

[brisk zinc]

[graceful iron]

yes but its an option, you dont need it to play without gamma economy or with destockifier

[brisk zinc]

Oh okay, I thought it was something related to getting back weapons and armors

[graceful iron]

no, its just another option if you dont want to play with gamma economy and dont want to play with base anomaly economy either, also you can use TO with gamma economy surprisingly enough and it still works (without breaking gamma economy)

[lapis silo]

Gamma Economy + TO + Destockifier is actually pretty fun imo

Especially mechanics have really random repairt kits/parts, so you have to plan and buy in advance

[haughty nebula]

Quick question on optimization guide:
It says right click on beef's NVG's addon and untick something but i do not get that option when i do it

[tidal raft]

Reinstall it.

[haughty nebula]

ah ok

thx

[willow hawk]

It's easily fixable but I just gotta code it

Like I did before

[tidal raft]

It's time to edit the instructions of #old-framerate-optimisation regarding Beef's.

[willow hawk]

?

[tidal raft]

If you try to reproduce your instructions, it's skipping over a step.

[hollow wyvern]

I found my first artefact Jellyfish from Fanatic quest.
But artefact is 20% condition, and I cant sell it

what should i do

[lapis silo]

#│📚manual artifacts reinvention

so I guess, I cant do anything

[tidal raft]

Not much. Except for completing tasks, and finding stashes.

[sterile rapids]

What would I have to edit to change the time period at which the rain drops appear on the visor?

[willow hawk]

[sterile rapids]

Fair enough. Thanks!

[icy nebula]

Can I still use the last installer version if I want to update moddb addons (not complete install) ? Would be great if that functionality was also still around as a third option?

[brisk zinc]

The only way to update moddb addons for now it's by doing a complete install

You don't need to delete your "mods" folder like it was in the old days (literally few days ago)

Update GAMMA data > Complete GAMMA installation

It's not even something you need to do every day, just once in a while if you KNOW that stuff have been updated

[odd finch]

anyone have a crash just after entering Darkscape? (its night time and my first visit. I hear gunfire, then when i get to the bodies (about 2-3 mins) the game crashes to desktop

[brisk zinc]

We need the log my man

[odd finch]

oooh where can i grab this?

[brisk zinc]

Anomaly/appdata/logs/log_name.txt

[odd finch]

think i found it? the crash was yesterday, so gonna load up ad replicate, then send (it happend 3 times in a row same area)

[brisk zinc]

Yeah replicate it

That log gets recreated every time you load the game

[odd finch]

damn and typical, i just passed the area where it kept crashing -.-

[hollow wyvern]

I completed some random quest for the looners to kill mutants, then there was a message "the sooner you receive the receiver, the sooner we can help you" from anonymous.
Is that message was directly for me or? I opened receiver but cant find any unique frequencies (never used receiver before)

[odd finch]

and it didnt crash this time.. sigh

yeah, I got that one, i have a receiver ... so i dont understand it either XD

[brisk zinc]

It's for you

I don't understand a single word of that thing but anyway

To put it simple

That dude from time to time will contact you

You need a RF Receiver in order to do these quests, they're optional and I think they're infinite

He will tell you that in a specific place, in the northern part of Darkscape for example, there is something, a package, a thing... something

You need to go there, equip your receiver and set it to a specific frequency that he will give you

With this receiver you'll need to found the package and retrieve it

After you get the package, he'll contact you with another place to go

[north turret]

Okay, so i just looked trough the Armors and apparently there is no CS Nosorog

[hollow wyvern]

Ok. But, how should I contact him?) After his message on the screenshot, what should I do? I have receiver and checked every frequency)

[odd finch]

I dont get any frequency info from that message either

[brisk zinc]

It's an automatic thing

Now he's basically telling you "get one RF receiver", right?

[hollow wyvern]

Ah

Yeah, that make sense. Thx

[brisk zinc]

[hollow wyvern]

how to activate craft menu?)

[midnight void]

Pretty pistol pack is now compatible with old saves? I managed to load with it active, but i wanna make sure so the save doesn't get bugged in future]

[hollow wyvern]

lol. I just take quest from sidorovich to kill stalker on swamps. Few minutes later this stalker manged to get to the Dead City lol.
is there any mod, that reduce walking speed for offline alife?

[sterile cedar]

so i kinda fucked up, yesterday i went to the swamps to get the shit from the doc and do some quests for clear sky, when i came up to the church i noticed a guy tucked away in the corner, he was wearing a brown seva or spp so i killed him with my scoped sks cause i thought he was a bandit, turns out he was an egghead, he had a veles so i didnt bother quick loading a previous save cause i just got a massive upgrade (or so i thought, cause i havent found a single usefull artifact and i went artifact hunting for like 3 in game days whilst completing the clear sky quests, artifact addon really making me work for these artifacts), i did notice his body didnt despawn whenever i went past the church so i thought he was some important character, lo and behold today i go back to rookie village to grab the rest of my shit and get the progression on the clear sky quest from sidorovich and i stumble accross this guy wearing a blue sunrise with a suppressed lr300, turns out hes a quest giver, and the quest he gave me was to go meet the egghead i had killed yesterday in the church, quest fails as soon as i accept it so is there a way to bring that egghead back to life so i can do the quest?

[tidal raft]

Only if you had pretty pistols active on that save from the start.

[hollow wyvern]

you can spawn any npc in debug mode.
you need to set checkbox "debug mode" in tha anomaly launcher, then press F7 in the game to spawn any object/
(I never did any of that, but I know that you can spawn anything, even quest givers)

[midnight void]

Got it, i managed to load it on old save (from RC2), i will disable, probably will crash in future

How do bounty squads work? Is there a way to tell them apart from random other hostile groups?

[summer sandal]

if you leave weapons or items in footlockers, do they stay there?

[graceful iron]

footlockers? you can only leave items inside stashes you put down using a backpack or already existing stashes

sorry but what do you mean by footlockers?

[brisk zinc]

I'm sure he's talking about stashes

Footlockers are basically that if we talk Anomaly

[hardy stump]

what does the "fun level" do in WPO?

[grave plover]

different sound when your weapon jams

[hardy stump]

u mean swears?

[summer sandal]

i also have one near the farm

[graceful iron]

yes thats an existing stash created by the game, you can put items in them just fine

[summer sandal]

i was getting kinda greedy with the weapons, i'll probably screenshot some of them to put in the loadouts, i was worried that if you left them, they'd be swapped out with random junk unlike backpacks

[graceful iron]

no its safe, and if a stash spawns there it will just be added

[flat knot]

Does the tourist pack actually slow you down or anything along those lines? It says it's cumbersome, just wanted to be sure

no, its just more text

#│🔧troubleshooting message

[north turret]

Can someone tell me what mods tells you exactly how much damage a guns gives plus all modifiers in it? like i see in GAMMA all the guns tells u - 38 damage, 12 accuracy etc

[icy nebula]

Gotcha .. Will this redownload / reextract addons which havent changed? Also my user.ltx will be reset right?

[brisk zinc]

No it won't redownload anything

It will download what you don't have

[icy nebula]

what about extraction?

some addons are big

[brisk zinc]

Yes your mods will be re-extracted because that's what the complete installation does... it install

And yes IIRC your user.ltx will be changed so if you did something specific, take it out and put it back again when the installer is done

[icy nebula]

Right... re extraction could also be avoided in the old installer

[brisk zinc]

Consider changing the name of MCM values as well if you changed something

[icy nebula]

Yup done that day one

[brisk zinc]

With a complete install? I don't think so?

[icy nebula]

No with only update... which did moddb as well

[brisk zinc]

Oh yeah the update it's a different thing, of course

Now the thing is different

[icy nebula]

yup thats what I was talking about

yeah but avoiding reextraaction also saved time I guess

[brisk zinc]

You can either do a complete install that install everything again AND check if anything have been updated

Or you can just update GAMMA related mods

The update will check if there is anything new in #📢development and it will install/update

[icy nebula]

this only includes GAMMA addons right ? Not other addons from moddb?

for example DICK , etc

[brisk zinc]

You're right, I'll put it like this, maybe it's better

The Complete GAMMA Installation covers the whole installation of GAMMA (obviously) and also checks if mods hosted on Moddb have been updated
If those mods have been updated, the installer will download and install them

The Only install GAMMA Addons, like the name suggests, ONLY covers GAMMA mods made by Grok and what's inside #📢development, if Grok push updates, you will get those updates

[icy nebula]

Gotcha... so if something like DICK is updatec, do complete install , then restore user.ltx from backup

[brisk zinc]

Exactly

You don't need to do the complete installation everyday, just once in a while or when you know that something outside GAMMA have been updated

When you see stuff in #📢development you can update whenever you want without worrying about Moddb

[icy nebula]

right...DICK used to get a lot of updates for some time

[dapper iron]

What does it mean the newly update with "disable mutant bleeding"?

[tidal raft]

Arszi's Mutant Bleeding is disabled by default.

[reef galleon]

Why is it that my controls stop working sometimes. Like unjamming, holding shift to move items ect?

[tidal raft]

Could be a form of 'busy hands'-bug. Try saving and loading.

[reef galleon]

Copy is that the only fix?

[tidal raft]

There are other fixes, but saving and loading could fix that the easiest way. If the problem persists, you may have to load an earlier save.

how this anomaly field in dark valley work? I just start loose health very quickly and die

what is killing me https://youtu.be/Fx8QsGkLZe4?t=19

[warped ginkgo]

fire?

[hollow wyvern]

but - I cant see fire icon on my hood

and in inventory too

[warped ginkgo]

your screen should turn orange

no idea why it doesn't

but it means that you are getting burned slowly, damaging your outfit/health

you can't avoid it with that outfit, either get equipment that resist fire damage or just ignore the artefact

or you could just run quickly grab it and run back, but doubt you can resist the damage you will die

[hollow wyvern]

yeah, I remember this from vanilla CoP. but in there was indicators on hud and in inventory

[tidal raft]

Heat-intensive area. You can see the burners with sparks flying around.

[hollow wyvern]

is this a bug, that I dont have any icons about burning damage?

[tidal raft]

No. This is how it was in Call of Prypyat as well.

[hollow wyvern]

nah. There was this icon I talking about

[tidal raft]

Your entire screen turn red for intensive heat, green for high toxicity, and grainy imagery from radiation.

[tidal raft]

Ah, those ones.
Yes, this is normal since those icons are attached to the old minimap.

[hollow wyvern]

so, no minimap = no icons, hm...

[tidal raft]

погружение

[hollow wyvern]

not exactly, I should feel the heat , but I didnt.
I need those icons back, to be able to "feel"

strange, that I didn't get red screen

[noble oar]

will these errors be a problem...?

[tidal raft]

Yep. You'll need to run a command to allow more characters to be in a given path.

[brisk zinc]

Start the installer with admin rights

[noble oar]

I allowed it with admin rights

and allowed powershell

[brisk zinc]

Where do you keep Anomaly and GAMMA?

[noble oar]

it was just in my downloads folder, never had a problem with it on my other pc, or on this pc with RC1, idk why its an issue now : /

[brisk zinc]

[noble oar]

C:\Users\Username\Downloads\Anomaly GAMMA

gotcha..

will try

[brisk zinc]

Pls... no more...

[noble oar]

it never ends

[brisk zinc]

Just to be sure

DON'T keep both folders together

Anomaly and GAMMA needs to be divided

[noble oar]

yeah no its separate

[brisk zinc]

Okay, at least one thing is correct

Put those two folders like on the root of your hard disk/SSD

[noble oar]

yeahhh that's what im doing now hahaha, thanks. Never had an issue before so I was a bit confused

[brisk zinc]

It's because keeping stuff in there CAN be okay

But sooner or later the problem pops up

[tidal raft]

However, it is one of the first things we troubleshoot when people crash on startup.

[brisk zinc]

What Aldourien said + since we don't want problems from the get-go, we obligate everyone to NOT use those locations

[tidal raft]

Because UAC is so fun.

[hollow wyvern]

any Ideas how to make this to work? My screen doesn't change color on those anomalies

[tidal raft]

No idea. It may be a limitation due to how many post-processing effects are in play.
Reshade, SSS, etc.

It could also be area-specific. Since I'm sure the Boiler anomaly turns your screen red.

[hollow wyvern]

I m using only standart mod order, no extra reshades

[tidal raft]

Probably area-specific then, and that dynamic anomaly areas don't tint your screen. 🤷

[hollow wyvern]

but can you test on your pc?) just spawn on dark valley

[tidal raft]

I know for certain some Burner anomalies don't tint the screen. Those that appear randomly.

[hollow wyvern]

yeah, but they didn't do damage when you near them

[tidal raft]

This one works because it's a hard-coded heat area in the game. The other randomly spawned areas doesn't have this.

[hollow wyvern]

where is this

[tidal raft]

Great Swamp, Fault Anomaly by the Machine Yard.

[hollow wyvern]

fak. something is broken on my end

[tidal raft]

Not necessarily. Damage will be taken from much farther away than before.

[hollow wyvern]

and what about swamps? do you have that screen before you get damage or?

No. You take damage earlier than older games.

visual, advanced, then look for a checkbox

boom, thanks

[hardy stump]

thats really against lore, the only reason most people come to the zone is artifacts

[graceful iron]

dont

you can sell artefacts after empowering them, also you can still make money from selling junk artefacts which spawn on 100%

artefact prices have been increased but they spawn on lower conditions so you have to empower them first

[hardy stump]

im saying that what he said was against lore

"not supposed to be sold anymore" is what i meant

[graceful iron]

we already know that, thats why i said "dont"

but its supposed to bring balance to the game, not add or change lore

ooooh i need to catch up on Lore, can i play the first 3 game's story within Anomaly? or am i best to youtube the lore?

[odd finch]

will do

[graceful iron]

use cover, dont get flanked (yes they can do that), aim for the head or legs and use the correct ammo type if you have it(AP ammo for stalkers or at least FMJ, HP for mutants)

[odd finch]

yeeeeah, these guys are really good at flanking me. I'm really happy with the AI, they actually play like they dont want to get shot 🙂

[graceful iron]

what is the gun you are using? also make sure you are using a gun with no less than 90% barrel condition, barrel condition affects damage significantly
