[odd finch]

Its a semi auto pistol, i also have a 2 barrel shotgun.

so my range and dmg sucks QQ

[north turret]

For the hip quest, since this Gun doesn't 'exist', which Toz type is it in Gamma?

[graceful iron]

it does exist...

[north turret]

I looked trough the names for Shotguns and there is 194

[graceful iron]

it used to be the bizon, in gamma its changed to 194

[north turret]

and i've never seen one either

[willow hawk]

There's a 194

[graceful iron]

its literally one of the most common shotguns on bandits and loners

[north turret]

There is a Toz-34 Bizon with a scope

[sleek parrot]

Isn't it Butcher that sell it, the one for Hip ?

[north turret]

is that the one?

[graceful iron]

in gamma you cant buy guns

[sleek parrot]

yes

ah yes

[north turret]

So it is the Toz-34 Bizon afterall

[graceful iron]

the toz194 is a pump action and your best place to find them is cordon, garbage or dark valley

[north turret]

i'll try and find one, but i honestly never seen one

[graceful iron]

it does not have to be good condition either

[bright seal]

Yeah its a pump shotty. Not as common as the Toz34s but kill enough bandits and theyll drop one

[tacit sparrow]

If Im monolith do I need psy helmet to go into lab-x16?

[grave canopy]

hoq to update mod without resseting mcm settings

[graceful iron]

it only keeps changes when you update gamma, if you update mods then it will be reset

[hollow wyvern]

@willow hawk does changing meds effects means, that russian translation should be updated as well, because it has old text for meds description?

[slow fox]

Playing as unisg, i cant find the briefcase in yupiter

where is it?

i looked everywhere

[lapis silo]

In Jupiter Plant, you have to go inside and then in a little tunnel that runs underneath the floor. You will pop out behind a fence with a ladder. You can use the ladder and walk over the catwalk in the plant to get to the "main operator" room or whatever and the docs are inside. Basically look for a tunnel in the Jupiter Building

[slow fox]

nvm found it...

[lapis silo]

Noice

[slow fox]

thanks though

[olive dragon]

Good day. need some help with icon.

[willow hawk]

Nope everything is fine 😉

[sterile rapids]

Does this armor bar work at all?

[willow hawk]

This is the psy bar

[sterile rapids]

Oh. That explains things.

[willow hawk]

Increase texture details slider

[olive dragon]

thx. i will try

[slow fox]

is it intended that the mechanic trader in the UNISG base near the Yupiter factory has the stock of a normal trader? he is a mechanic but doesnt sell stuff to repair my armour 😦

he sells kits and ammo and stuff

[willow hawk]

According to the files, is he really a mechanic ?

[slow fox]

he has the same stock as hernandez

[willow hawk]

Is he accepting quests linked to toolkits ?

[slow fox]

well you can ask him to tweak your armour and guns so i thought he might be

yes

right now he offers a quest for basic tools

its Leutenant Maus

[willow hawk]

Ok let me fix it

can you send me your save please ?

[slow fox]

ok, just drop it here?

[brisk zinc]

Yes don't worry

[willow hawk]

[slow fox]

Also, how come the traders in the merc base on the outskirts dont give the same supply level as the traders in dead city? I have supply level 3 yet the guy doesnt give me anything

it says supply 1

[sterile rapids]

The Scar artifacts regens health from your psy health and then regends the psy health once youre back to full health? Is this kind of imbalanced?

I can just equip it every time I need some healing

[rotund moss]

have fun farting and shitting your self while mag dumping without control about your self

dont under estimate the shit your actor will do if your psyhealth is low and you have a scar on your belt

[exotic wagon]

How much Gb does the modification weigh?

[rotund moss]

bout a few, honestly to lazy to look but in total 25+ at the minimum, i think

[lapis silo]

They are a seperate group from the normal mercs lore wise, though I have no idea how that plays into supply level. I think they have their entire stock available from Lvl 1, but I could be wrong.

[slow fox]

I see. interesting

the mechanic does not have any of the repair tool kits for decent gear, only the handgun one

[lapis silo]

Ah, yeah, that is a thing. He doesn't have any quests for toolkits, so nothing we can do about it atm.

[willow hawk]

Because they have shit loot, it's related to the lore

They are pinned down and deep in the shit basically

[rotund moss]

they legit tell you within the first 3 convo option that they are fucked and cut out from the supply lines

[hollow wyvern]

Grok can thouse icons be aded back? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/922555488665743391/970496533973843978/unknown.png
Right now In some fire or toxic anomaly field you just get damage without any indication

https://youtu.be/Fx8QsGkLZe4?t=18

@willow hawk

[willow hawk]

aah right. They should display red fiery effect on screen

I should rather work on proper display of that effect

toxic areas are doing it properly

[hollow wyvern]

oh, ok. I didn't tested toxic zones yet

[dire garnet]

Can I ask you how you got your HUD working ? I would love to have this one as well

[hollow wyvern]

#🖇old-mods-posting message

[dire garnet]

Oh, fair enough, thank you very much

[hollow wyvern]

I aded quick bar slots )

[dire garnet]

That's the closest I can get to the OG type of HUD x)

Oh wait, I was talking about the bars and map CoP style on your screenshot with the detector

Unless it's from the actual game itself

[hollow wyvern]

oh lol) it was just random video on youtube)

to show gui ellement for grok, that was missing

[dire garnet]

I got my hope really high right now xD I guess I'll have to do some research on that x)

Thank you nonetheless 🙂

[sterile rapids]

Yeah I've just had my first experience. Its quite useful for small healing but thats it.

[rotund moss]

i nearly punched my screen while screaming once, because my actor ripped a fat ass while reloading and im like 12years old every time i go into a underground lab in stalker and shit was scary af, since i never heared that

[sterile rapids]

Oh you actually ment that

Okay I did not hear my guy ripping one out hahaha

[sterile rapids]

does it get affected by psy resistance?

[rotund moss]

not to my knowledge

[sterile rapids]

Would be cool to pop some psy pills and make more use of it. Oh well.

[graceful iron]

scientific medkit heals your psy health faster but whats the point of using the scar anyways if you will use a medkit with it

[north turret]

Im doing the second questline for blue egghead and it said to scan 3 anomalies in wild territory, but it only showed 2

from those 2 i got 2 souveniers, a tapeworm and a sourpuss

(i had to go around and find the last one myself)

[sterile cedar]

tfw u get scammed big time, does anyone know wich berill he gives u in vanilla anomaly? kinda want to nuke the basic tools and the chefs note off my inventory and spawn the berill with debug menu, im assuming its some ecologist berill, right?

[graceful iron]

it was a huge balance issue, the berill is a really good suit and vodka for it is kind of broken so now its a basic toolkit

[delicate zenith]

Does having a shit condition barrel influence your weapon damage ontop of jamming chance?

[graceful iron]

only weapon damage, other parts influence jamming chance

[delicate zenith]

ahh okay, was assuming so

[north turret]

is deleting the mod folder and then complete gamma install to fix stuff still the way to go with the new installer?

[wise sparrow]

barrels reduce damage starting at 75% down to 50% damage reduction at 0%. they are good for 5000 rounds and don't degrade like other parts.

[graceful iron]

you dont have to delete the mods folder anymore, just click complete installation

[delicate zenith]

managed to piece together a tactical m4 with every part good except the barrel, and people were still taking entire mags of AP ammo to go down

[graceful iron]

never use a gun with a damaged barrel

[hollow wyvern]

look what playlist I found.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pniWHXx4Fag&list=PLSXynFha-pLdrThS1RuPCGAWRXFeBa1T-****

is it up to date?

[graceful iron]

ammo was not changed much, just small rebalances so this should still be up to date

it was already posted in #╟🎮stalker-videos📹 as well

[viral stone]

is there a way to read all the Gamma Lore/tutorials in one place?

[graceful iron]

#│📚manual

[viral stone]

oh okay i thought those were different

thanks 🙂

[graceful iron]

some of the ones in-game are base anomaly loading screen tips

[pliant cradle]

I know some information is in the PDA, but should players begin GAMMA with a manual or "survival guide" item? Like a book in the inventory that describes GAMMA's unique progression and such?

[brisk zinc]

#│📚manual

[hollow wyvern]

it there a hotkey to enable/disable mini-map?

[grave plover]

check mcm's menu for that

[torn sonnet]

how dependant is the modpack on the body health system? i'm weird and prefer the original stalker mechanic

[grave plover]

a lot

[graceful iron]

you can disable it, disable body health and minimalist HUD

as for progression, yes its a big part of the pack

[torn sonnet]

unfortunate

well i'll give it a try

[graceful iron]

you should at least try base gamma

[viral stone]

i was concerned at first as well but i just tweaked the dmg on leg hp and its all dandy now

[graceful iron]

its not too hard tho.. and there is an easy healing mode you can enable in the mod file

[rigid linden]

I can't complete a quest from a ecologist, Ineed to go here

but there is nothing to do there

no items or artefacts to grab

even turned ON god mode to search and nothing there

[gilded nova]

same problem for me, although I found like 2 artifacts but it didn't complete

[royal oxide]

apparently, it's in one of the houses

the marker is wrong

[rotund moss]

its in the house with the burners inside, top floor

[junior epoch]

Is there a way to adjust carry weight through gamma? I know in regular anomaly it's easy to find and simple to adjust, Gamma moves around a lot of things thought and I'm not sure where to find it. I was personally looking to make a RPG based mod where you gain stats based on your players actions ( Strength, speed, endurance, ect ) but I can't even find it.

[grave plover]

haruka skill system already does that

[junior epoch]

is it compatible with Gamma? and either way I'd like to know if there is a direct way to adjust it by doing something as simple as tweaking text

[grave plover]

its in gamma

and grok balanced it, you need to adjust script parameters for what you gain, max lvl, etc... On mcm menu you only can configure at which rate you gain skills through a multiplier

[junior epoch]

Okay, ty I appreciate it - I've dealt with mod packs before and mods in general but never anything that added 271 addons at once so I'm a little flustered when it comes to tweaking everything to my liking slowly going over everything bit by bit.

[grave plover]

check #🖇old-mods-posting and maybe you'll see some tweaks done by the community that fit your taste

[lapis silo]

There is already an option for base carryweight in the normal Anomaly settings. Maybe you can tweak those (as that would be easier and more effective I would imagine)

[junior epoch]

I knew how to change it with the original script there I was able to lower - but GAMMA removes them - It used to be as easy as going to Script and then I think UI and setting the max carry weight slider higher or lower which would in turn change the value of the ingame slider

[quick fable]

So, the NPC's travelling mod, using it early/mid game, how quick should I see the changes from vanilla?

[lapis silo]

Well GAMMA does not change that specific file, so you wont find it in gamedata. You need to go into Anomaly/tools and unpack the base anomaly files. After that, still in anomaly/tools, you can find ui_options.xml which is the file you can use to increase your carryweight past the normal maximum (the same file you meant)

Then you can just create your own mod, which you can install via MO2. If you need help with that, just ask

[junior epoch]

Ty very much!

[lapis silo]

[north turret]

is there a way to make a trader sell 7.62x51?

[tidal raft]

Complete tasks for NATO factions and earn goodwill. #│📚manual

[north turret]

thanks

[winged tree]

hi again; after the delivery of the artefacts in prypjat and outscirts the prof in jupiter ends the quest and the prof. said, that they would send me to prof. vorobushkin. i got the new quest, but in the same moment the quest failed. after that the quest is naturally not in the questbook. is the story still not complete or is vorobuskin dead in my game? if there is dead; is there any way to resurrect him. (yes if necessary i would be a necromancer, but i hope vorobushkin is not a ghul or something like that after that) btw. sry für the bumpy english; not my main-language... 🙂

[north turret]

hello again, i found a way to make other traders to sell the ammo i want, but wonder if this line of script or code is the weapon damage of a weapon

hit_power = 1.5, 1.5, 1.5, 1.5

fire_dispersion_base = 0.05 ( if i change this to 0 does that mean that the bullet goes straight?)

[little igloo]

Is it alright if I reinstall reshade to have more options?

[grave plover]

yes totally fine

[little igloo]

thx

[pliant cradle]

I know, I more mean for players not active in the discord or looking through the PDA

[zenith magnet]

what mod is preventing me from saving everywhere?

[dapper iron]

Why ARSZI'S MUTANT BLEEDING is disabled?

[grave plover]

its buggy with monster unstucker

[grave plover]

yacs better campfire save

[little igloo]

Is it just me or are the enemies kinda tanky towards shotguns couse I just shot someone point blank with 5 rounds in the head and they are still alive

[brisk zinc]

My man Rtd in here taking care of everything 🫂

[brisk zinc]

@zenith magnet If you want to disable it, you need to also disable G.A.M.M.A. YACS no quit

[zenith magnet]

thanks

[grave plover]

make sure you got a barrel with good condition, barrel condition = damage, and then every ammo has an armor value check description of ammo

[delicate wharf]

don't disable the mods, just go to mcm > yacs and untick the options. I do that works 100%

[little igloo]

I tested it with every ammo type and a brand new saiga

[zenith magnet]

thanks 2

[grave plover]

if you have low penetration ammo, aim for soft spots like in tarkov

[delicate wharf]

ap slugs will one tap anything unless they are wearing an exo. Will 1 tap most things in the chest even

[unique coral]

is it safe to update mid game? I have not updated in about a month, i do not mind starting a new game if it stops any potential bugs.

[zenith magnet]

is this normal or a #old-bugs thing?

it's 09.32 btw

[unique coral]

what are we looking at @zenith magnet

[proven lynx]

i would say clear shader cache

[brisk zinc]

It could also be the game because unfortunately "that thing" is normal

[proven lynx]

L

[zenith magnet]

rookie village, or the endless void thatis my soul trying to run this pack

[brisk zinc]

I'm not sure if it's GAMMA doing or Anomaly doing

But it's very well known that shadow in dim places are garbage, like those blocky things

[unique coral]

idk, i have had 0 issues

my rig is decent though

[proven lynx]

i would clear shaders to see if it fixes it

if it doesnt

L

[brisk zinc]

@zenith magnet try it

[zenith magnet]

quick side not: are there any flavour mods that i can turn off?

[willow hawk]

Bug, delete shader cache

[willow hawk]

flavour?

[zenith magnet]

Delete as in "through the launcher" or delete the folder?

[zenith magnet]

Mods i can remove that don't drastically change the core gameplay of the pack

[willow hawk]

The question is why you want to remove them...?

[zenith magnet]

I feel like im instulting you

To make the pack lighter on my PC

[grave plover]

#old-framerate-optimisation

[brisk zinc]

Lighter like...

Weight?

Or perfomance?

[zenith magnet]

Performance

[brisk zinc]

Rtd already linked you the channel then

[zenith magnet]

Yeah... Sorry

[rotund moss]

also Delete shader cache always translates into "delete the folder"

[zenith magnet]

Thanks

[brisk zinc]

It will get recreated the moment you start the game

[rotund moss]

but it will not be sentient anymore, which will help you not to lose your sanity in the long run, just kill it with fire from time to time

the according ritual would be playing Doom Boss Music in the background while chanting "Die in a fire, Cunt" 3 times, yes this got asked once

[brisk zinc]

Seriously? Here? (about the "got asked once")

[rotund moss]

yes, tho the details about the ritual got decided in DMs since we went so off topic it felt dirty

[brisk zinc]

"dirty"

https://tenor.com/view/john-cena-eyebrows-gif-5000174

[rotund moss]

this is making me uncomfy for some reason

[graceful iron]

if deleting shaders cache does not work try the #│🔧troubleshooting black and white screen

[fleet grail]

Anyone know 4k texture pack that works with Gamma?

[zenith magnet]

Thanks i'll check it tomorrow if deleting the folder doesnt work

[real chasm]

The Mutants Bleeding mod got some fixes in one of the newer updates but the original mod is now disabled. Does it need to be turned back on or should it just be left as is?

[willow hawk]

you don't need that

[willow hawk]

Just left it that way

it creates issues with monsters unstucker

And I prefer having harder to kill, unstucked monsters

rather than monster faking death to better gore you.....

and bugging out because of monster unstucker

[real chasm]

👍

[rotund moss]

i never had problem with either of that, but i get why its frustrating

[dapper iron]

Why I have this gigantic black square over my minimap?

[brisk zinc]

Did you enable both?

[dapper iron]

this is what I have

[brisk zinc]

@graceful iron

I remember the bug but not the solution

[brisk zinc]

You're also missing mods

[rotund moss]

could be that he has filtered for "Minimap"

[dapper iron]

I filter by "mini"

[brisk zinc]

Oh yeah, okay

[rotund moss]

anyways i think deleting shader cache did help

[brisk zinc]

@dapper iron try it

[rotund moss]

it did happend a while back and they did find a solution, but i cant remember for sure what it was sorry

[dapper iron]

how do you do that?

[brisk zinc]

@dapper iron wait

Do this

Delete the file "zone_map_16.xml" in G.A.M.M.A. Minimalist HUD\gamedata\configs\ui

This should work

[rotund moss]

go into your anomaly folder>appdata> then delete the shaders_cache folder, if you ever have to delete that one you now know where to look

[graceful iron]

sorry but i actually dont remember the solution either, i think what you found with deleting that file in minimalist HUD might be it

shaders cache didnt help, that i remember

[brisk zinc]

I've searched with the button, that pops up, IIRC it helped me as well

[desert robin]

Should Mutant bleeding and Chimera growls still be disabled?

[tidal raft]

Yes. For stability.

[dapper iron]

I only have this files. Dont find your folder.where is it?

[brisk zinc]

Hmm I think you need to do it in MO2

Let me do it first

Yeah you need to do it in MO2

[dapper iron]

how

[brisk zinc]

Open this "configs" folder

You'll find "ui" folder, open it

Scroll down, there you are

Delete that file

[upbeat breach]

do normal artefacts (non perk ones) and normal belt attachments (kevlar, camelbak etc.) degrade when worn? if so, can i turn that off?

[delicate wharf]

they don't

[graceful iron]

no, only perk based artefacts degrade

[upbeat breach]

thanks guys

very cool community

[modern fern]

Could someone explain how pistols stay relevant? Beyond rats, dogs, or flesh it feels redundant, and even then why not knife rats and shot gun the rest?

I guess I don’t see why to keep one late game mainly

[delicate wharf]

a nice .45 filled with hydrashock will put down mutants better than basically anything else

higher level stalkers pistols drop off quite hard though

[modern fern]

Thanks, guess I always defaulted mutants to buckshot and pistols kinda fell into the ether for me

[tepid wasp]

argh mission markers in my pda wont show up anymore. Does Anybody else have such a problem? No difference between simple and story missions... both dont work

[graceful iron]

save/load or restart the game

[tepid wasp]

already done. same problem.

[graceful iron]

the 9x21 pistol can kill most stalkers even armored, same with the five seven
hydrashock can save you money and other ammo on all mutants including giants, or the mp-412 rex that seems to kill the giants the fastest among all guns i have tested

[desert robin]

issues with character limit?

[graceful iron]

launch the installer with admin, grok fixed that issue already

also make sure you have the last installer 3.2

[desert robin]

Done. And yep 3.2. Still happening

Going to just re-install from scratch -_-

[graceful iron]

#old-only-installer-support message

idk if restarting the pc has to do with it or something ?

[desert robin]

Doesnt seem to have had any effect..

[graceful iron]

then this is beyond me, i have no idea

[slow topaz]

what's this doing in my installer folder

Or are these new files are just here because of how the new installer works?

[graceful iron]

i think its a thing with the new installer

[slow topaz]

Ah oke

well just updated with no problems

[jagged lance]

is there any way to help avoid the busy hands bug? I've been getting it a lot lately

[graceful iron]

update, dont use alt to disassemble and dont spam animations

the busy hands that can be solved by save/load ? or the one that crashes when saving ?

[slow topaz]

Did anyone have problems using the compass addon in the newest version of the pack

I have a weird overlap with a black square

[graceful iron]

#🔨base-gamma-support message

or just scroll up a bit

[slow topaz]

Oke

[jagged lance]

yeah i guess the spam animations thing is my problem

i can disable animations through the anomaly settings still right?

I lowered the mutant amount when I started a new game, is it bugged? My current game is crawling with mutants. Have packs of snorks everywhere and every area just seems tingling with mutants and I am in the South.

[graceful iron]

did you use these settings? or the game settings?

dont change the game population settings, only the zcp mcm ones

[north turret]

ahhh

[north turret]

yea i messed with those unfortunately

[graceful iron]

put them back to defaults just in case

and then tweak the zcp ones, just dont change them by too much and make sure to save/load

[slow topaz]

I can’t locate the exact file

[graceful iron]

use this in mo2 ? the search filter

[slow topaz]

but which one is it

[graceful iron]

this?

[slow topaz]

I can’t read the files full names that’s why I’m lost

[graceful iron]

use the search

you can drag the borders of mo2

Okei found it

now just delete?

yes

I took a mission from duty to help guide a squad somewhere. Unbeknownst to me, it's this psy place in yantar that i cant seem to get to 'without protection'. How fucked am i?

You probably can't enter without frying your brain completely. You'll need at least the prototype psi-helmet to enter.

[desert robin]

God damn it... Welp there goes my duty rep.

[delicate wharf]

its right by the dead city transition so you can maybe sneak in from dead city hopefully the quest completes instantly and you run back?

[desert robin]

oh damn ok ill give that a go. Thanks

worth a try

also is there a way to noclip in the game? I'm supposed to get ontop of the bubblebath anomaly but the ladder is broken and i get stuck on the lip of the silo thing

[delicate wharf]

just drop stuff you don't want in a random corner when you spawn in

[pliant cradle]

Yeah, I suppose

I know Misery has a feature where you can start a playthrough where you've just been robbed and only have a knife in the dark, I've always enjoyed it.

But it's not necessary

[vocal relic]

if I update will it wipe mods I've added on top of gamma?

are the researchers quest radiant or is there a plot to the whole thing?

[dapper iron]

In the moddb page of the raven compass there are different styles and transparency options. Where are this options in gamma?

[north turret]

works as intended

i had it on in my invictus run

How do you turn on weapon lasers?

[junior junco]

Is this mod performance intensive compared to base anomaly, I mean apart from reshade? I could play unmoded anomaly with quite high visual settings. Even EFP 2 didn't give me such huge performance drops (well maybe when there were quite a few of NPCs it drops but otherwise ok). I'm running an amd 3600 with 2070 and 16 gigs

[grave plover]

gamma uses SSS, and a optional reshade, it runs well and on your specs no problem

[junior junco]

But I have huge performance issues. Low fps on certain maps. Just a few hours into the game. Maybe reinstall helps?

[noble oar]

I did that;/

[grave plover]

population settings? and where you got performance issues? Because stalker still runs on 1 core and maps with alot of AI are hard to run

[willow hawk]

I'm not playing with ZCP parameters anytime soon

current ones are good enough

[hardy stump]

is there a way to decrease gpu power usage for the game?

my gpu is getting "suspended"/my screen goes "power saving mode" sometimes

power saving mode works but my fps is like 10

[grave plover]

if you are on a laptop change the power management, play with your laptop plugged, and for decreasing the power usage lower graphic settings and cap your fps

[royal oxide]

Any tips for first Iron Man attempts?

[chilly nebula]

An idea on the side.
I find the lore in this mod pack very great and interesting and it should only serve as an idea for an "expansion".
My head has been spinning for a few weeks now:
If the UN controls or prohibits the arms trade in the zone, wouldn't it also be realistic if stalkers trade arms among themselves (of course to maintain the balance at bad prices)? Or the flea market in Garbage?

[willow hawk]

Clear Sky P220 + K98 Mauser and change faction to ecolog quickly

or Start Ecolog with SKS + .45 pistol

[hardy stump]

thanks, im not on laptop its just my power supply that is trash, i will upgrade soon

[desert robin]

Fair enough. Was it something that was removed? Im just trying to find a way to put it back in.. Maybe for #╙🖇mods-making-discussion but yeah..

[willow hawk]

You can try different ZCP parameters

but few months ago we had no stalkers, or controllers spawning in cordon by pair

[patent spindle]

how do I use the tactical kit for walther p99

just got a "walther p99 (custom)"

the gun doesn't have any upgraded part

does it mean my gun is already a tactical one, so i can't use the kit

[brisk zinc]

I'm not sure but it could be

[patent spindle]

can't turn on gun's laser sight by long pressing L key

not sure if it's that my gun does not have one, or just because if wrong key binding

I figured it out

[graceful iron]

there is no visible time limit on quests that are time limited, also that quest might have failed because the quest giver died?

[craggy fable]

Yeah, people already explained to me that. Thanks!

[graceful iron]

how many channels did you ask on

[zenith magnet]

where do i put the classic textures addon to use it?

[graceful iron]

you followed #custom-textures ? i think you can leave it at the bottom of the modlist

[zenith magnet]

do i drop it in mo2?

[graceful iron]

install it

the file of the mod should be a zip file, you can find it and choose to install

[junior badge]

hi how i can use magic to spawn art for quest

i must find art in agroprom but in place with marker is nothing to pick up

??

[graceful iron]

check the pinned message for how to enable debug mode and then press f7 in game

[junior badge]

this is first time i have problem with this

[graceful iron]

did you look around with the detector ? it could have moved ? if you cant find it (its probably somewhere else but i have no idea where) use debug mode

[junior badge]

ok thx for help 😄

and yes i go around some time and detector dont pick anything, i have bear detector

[static lake]

i just used noclip to find the thing. you could try and debug the best detector.

[lapis silo]

You dont need the best detector, an Echo detector is enough (the lowest tier)

[junior badge]

i try look after this art in debug mode but i dont now his name

[lapis silo]

All the quest artifacts are prefixed by ah_, so you will spawn each one until you got the right one

so you want to spawn all of the ones beginning with af_ah

these

[junior badge]

thx

[static lake]

I'm guessing you can't craft expert tools?

[graceful iron]

only advanced can be crafted

[static lake]

so i just gotta be lucky and find one in a stash?

[graceful iron]

north stashes, yes

red forest and further north has chances for expert but the further north the better the chance

[river ingot]

this good for that new process affinity trick?

[tepid wasp]

#🔨base-gamma-support message

Any Ideas Guys?

It sucks hard and i don`t know how this even happened. Did i miss something or did i something wrong which lead to this issue?

[junior epoch]

how to Disable GAMMA economy? For some reason Vendors are insanely selective about what they will buy/sell and also none of them sell guns yet that I've found

[graceful iron]

#│📚manual , they shouldnt buy or sell guns or armor

[junior epoch]

I know that's part of the mod I'd like to personally disable

[graceful iron]

you can disable the gamma economy and no bas injection mods in the mod list

at least try base gamma before removing the economy

[junior epoch]

Thank you, I'm playing around with multiple saves trying to find my Pace tweaking the Gamma mods on and off and checking them out like the Body system and healing animations I really like how it will keep you from running if your leg is too damaged and you have to actually be tired to sleep and the only saving at campfires

I appreciate the help

[tender abyss]

Where can i buy Saiga-12 mags?

[warped ginkgo]

did you disable those buttons maybe?

[lapis silo]

I think Petrenko has some at high Supply level, otherwise the Merc traders have them, also at high supply level and maybe Freedom, im not sure

[junior badge]

i dont now why but load time is super large

save time to

i press f5 and after 1 minute save is done

and in this minute game frizz

[tidal raft]

Try restarting the game.

[junior badge]

i try several time but its still the same

after reset loading first save is like 4 mins

[tidal raft]

Are you saving near your main stash?

[tepid wasp]

Oh man... i`m so stupid. I cannot remember disabling them but thats the reason. Damn it. Thank you so much man! U made my day!

[winged tree]

who is prof. vorobushkin (additional gamma Quest after jupiter {prypjat}) and btw. if they is dead i can ressurect them?

[junior badge]

sorry for late but i was loading game

no i have only stash in cordon farm and somthing on swamps

but this is on yantar to but i not have stash here

[tidal raft]

Are you playing on an SSD?

[junior badge]

yes

[tidal raft]

Are you playing from root and not your desktop?

[whole pewter]

He is the second last professor in the Artifact Hunters" story, and yes you can resurrect him. It's in the pinned messages

[junior badge]

on my desktop i have mo2 icon and i play from him

and game is on another partition than system

[tidal raft]

Is Gamma installation inside Anomaly, or Anomaly inside Gamma?

[junior badge]

gamma is on separate folder

[lapis silo]

Ehhh, Vorobushkin was in Army Warehouses I think. If you need to find him, it says in he quest description where he is

[tidal raft]

Do you disable core 0 after start-up?

[junior badge]

where?

[tidal raft]

#old-framerate-optimisation

[junior badge]

i played for months and this hapend yust today

i play some weak now on rc3 ver

[tidal raft]

Is it a very old save file?

[junior badge]

no i just make them

[tidal raft]

Is Anomaly folder on an SSD? (I didn't ask specifically before)

[royal oxide]

If I played with weapon magazines addon, is it possible to disable the addon and continue playing? Do I need to get rid off all the magazines or something?

[tidal raft]

No. You will never be able to play without magasines on that save file.

[royal oxide]

Ok, thank you, time for a new save then!

[junior badge]

i have only ssd on my mashine

[tidal raft]

But different partitions?

[junior badge]

one is for system and second for games

[tidal raft]

Could be a bad cluster. Try running a CHKDSK. (google it for more info)

[winged tree]

many thanks mael, that should get me going. if not i will respond and begging for help. hope i got it. thanks again...

[whole pewter]

No problems. If you read the pinned message, and my previous ones there should be tons of information for you in those. Sadly, they are quite long because I do tend to waffle on, but I'm a firm believer in too much info is better than too little.

[junior badge]

i do what you say and my ssd have no errors

[winged tree]

thats nice. i think enough time for playing the gamma is on weekend (latest) there i will check this (latest). so many input is better then not enough.

[tidal raft]

Hard to say then. Could be because you have a single SSD running for the whole system and it can't keep up.
Did you try disabling core 0?

[junior badge]

i try reinstal game, maybe somthing go wrong or was lost

i be right back, reset my komputer

[brave nexus]

Has anyone got a way of reducing the insanity of the mutants without completely gutting the difficulty by like cranking the damage way up or adding a bunch of Armour to all the player outfits cause getting mobbed by like 10 dogs outside of the cordon starting area and watching wolf get torn to shreds before they turn on me was a bit much.

[stable stag]

I had this issue about a week ago. It randomly rectified itself.
One weird symptom of the bug I did notice is if you try make a daddysave it wont name it as one. It'll simply name it like any other quicksave

As soon as the load times and save time improved it reverted back to naming the saves daddysave. Weird stuff

[brave nexus]

Was your hard drive full or close too full

it might have gimped itself shrinking a page file or something

[stable stag]

Good thought, but I had over 20% of SSD free

[brave nexus]

Yeah not that likely then unless you have a really tiny drive, i despise intermittent issues like that which magically solve themselves

[tidal raft]

You can reduce the population count in MCM Menu > ZCP.

[brave nexus]

ah cool i saw something about that looking though the history with the search function

[wide dawn]

Is there a way to enable the ability to save any where?

[tidal raft]

Disable YACS.

[brave nexus]

you get rid of the campfire save mod number 203

(seeing as i literally just did that myself )

I should be defulting all the normal world options and make the changes only though ZCP right ?

[tidal raft]

ZCP overrides any modifications to the standard pop settings in the Settings menu.

[brave nexus]

Yeah just saw that in the ZCP settings menu itself which would explain why nothing changed when i did some light messing around i really need to

RTFM more often

anyway thanks for setting on the right track

[wide dawn]

So I disabled the mod and now my game keeps crashing.

[graceful iron]

disable yacs no quit

[wide dawn]

That was guh moment

[brave nexus]

Is there a trick to modifying mod files themselfs i'm trying to turn on the easy healing mode in the body health mod and i'd set the true/false flag to true in the zzz_player_injuries in the gamma/mod/. ./scripts but its still got the first aid and post heal system working which is meant to be removed with the easy mode enabled

[loud stream]

It looks like GAMMA Medications Balance overwrites that file so modify it in that mod.

[brave nexus]

yeah i just found that by searching for the zzz_player_injuries script file and found 3 copy's of it so i just changed them all over and loading it up to test now

yeah that got it thanks

[graceful iron]

use mo2 to search for files so you will always edit the last overwriting file

[wide dawn]

Can you disable fast travel cost?

[graceful iron]

you can change it to 0 in the mcm

or you can disable the mod in mo2

[wide dawn]

What mod is it in the mcm

[graceful iron]

fast travel limit

[wide dawn]

So what is limiting me from selling my guns?

[grave plover]

gamma economy <------ and its the premise of this pack, the progression

[wide dawn]

Oh

[tidal raft]

What?
Gamma Economy doesn't allow trading firearms, period.

[wide dawn]

What?

Why would you not be allowed to sell guns

[tidal raft]

Too low risk to obtain currency.

[wide dawn]

Can I disable this feature?

[tidal raft]

Might as well be playing EFP instead, really.
You'll have to disable Gamma Economy and replace it with Trader Overhaul and/or Trader Destockifier.

[grave plover]

then this pistol is bugged

[tidal raft]

Yes.

[wide dawn]

How do I uninstall the mod pack?

[tidal raft]

Remove the Gamma RC3 folder and it's done.

[wide dawn]

Yeah sorry I just don’t think this mod pack is for me though I do like some of it features!

[tidal raft]

It happens. Some players prefer to buy their way to victory instead of earning it in a more challenging way.
It's all about preference.

[winged tree]

I must made a test now and it works! Perfectly! Many THX again.

[bright seal]

Am I able to become friendly again with freedom? I may have gunned down 2 squads at some point and now I get attacked in Army Wharehouse, but my rep is 0

[brisk zinc]

Do they shoot you on sight now?

[bright seal]

Some of them

Not all

[brisk zinc]

Try to get to the trader, do some quests for them, that should up rep and goodwill again

Maybe you can disguise and directly go to the trader, I don't know how rep and goodwill works in that case though

[bright seal]

hmm alright

[pliant garnet]

Hey thank you for finding and posting the solution for this !! Can i ask that this be placed in FAQ s in case anyone else needs ( or i need it again 🙂 )

[graceful iron]

falco can you edit this and pin it? for later questions

[dire garnet]

Is it normal to come across UNISG soldiers right at the start when getting out of Clear Sky Base in Swamps ? At the Fishing Hamlet for exemple

[brisk zinc]

I'll make it better

[graceful iron]

random and low chance but its possible with zcp

[dire garnet]

Well, I got it twice today while doing some testing, and it's funny to see some secretive faction being right at your door x)

Another time, I met some SIN members as well

[brisk zinc]

MY MINIMAP IS ONE GIANT BLOCK OF BLUE STUFF, WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?

Solution:

Open your MO2, once it's opened, on the right you'll find all your files. (second pic)
Go inside gamedata\configs and open the "ui" folder (third pic), once you're in there, find and delete the file "zone_map_16.xml G.A.M.M.A. Minimalist HUD" (fourth pic), it should be at the bottom.

[willow hawk]

Well you can tune it to your liking. #🔨modded-gamma-support

[quick fable]

Do I need to start a new game for dynamic anomalies?

[graceful iron]

no, just update with a complete install

[north turret]

do we still need to delete the mods folder when doing a complete install?

[brisk zinc]

No IIRC
@graceful iron right?

[graceful iron]

no, you dont need to delete the folder if you have the latest launcher from #📢announcements or #old-how-to it should be version 3.2

[willow hawk]

No #💽how-to-update

[long grove]

for the disable core 0 thing does anything go into this option?

Its the exe path

[rocky bone]

Hi which mod in the pack is responsible for making the screen go dark or flash when shot? And how can I disable it?

[junior epoch]

I also have a Question. I just realized while playing Gamma I can have any of my guns repaired by NPC's but It will not let me repair any of my armors. I don't know if that was intended but I would like to be able to repair both at a bench by paying NPC

so if there is a Mod causing this.. which one might it be?

[rare gyro]

Hey guys, are the mercenaries located bottom left of outskirts supposed to be friendly to loners? Is that intended so you can buy 5.56 and so on? Edit: Okay i spoke with an npc that told me why, i didn't see him at first, my bad.

[vapid dirge]

NPCs cant even repair guns, only clean them for you

[junior epoch]

the ones with the benches

you can pay

to repair guns

for money

[vapid dirge]

[edgy echo]

What Squid said. They are cleaning your guns but you still need to change parts and most particularly barrel if you want your weapon to be efficient

[vapid dirge]

gl with a clean jam-o-matic

[edgy echo]

There is a manual on the discord @junior epoch

[junior epoch]

I rather not have that part of the Gamma experience - Is there a way to disable a mod and get it back to how it worked preinstall?

[edgy echo]

The whole modpack revolves around this idea; scavenging and crafting/repairing. There might be a way to disable WPO but not sure how to do it without breaking anything, and I don't see the point tbh

[junior epoch]

there's 271 things added - removing a few (and adding others) to personalize my experience with the mod pack is all I'm looking to do. the point for me is so there's one less fetch quest of items I have to stock up

Oh, that Fixed it. Ty Loner I appreciate it. - yes the concept or having to constantly repair your armor and guns instead of paying a vendor with a bench to do it might appeal to some but I work too much to want to worry about that. I want to explore and enjoy the game without the constant minor setbacks

[rotund moss]

what can i do again, if my game crashes while i try to sleep?

[vapid dirge]

regular beds or sleeping bags?

[rotund moss]

regular beds

[vapid dirge]

some people say its less stable using those, id try a bag

[rotund moss]

okay hope i find my last part to fix the suit i just lost again xD

[edgy echo]

I understand that, gamma is slow af, especially the beginning, but that's why I keep playing it after all

[junior epoch]

Hey lol that's true there's a lot of replay-ability in games that don't hand you everything and anomaly definitely get's a chunk of charm from that

and GAMMA makes it even better

[sterile rapids]

As someone who hasn't touched anomaly vanilla at all, I couldn't imagine having it easier. Love the progression of GAMMA

Replacing a gun barrel from 45% for a 100% one felt like a great achievement

[bright seal]

I havent updated in about 3 days. Do I need to 'complete gamma installation' rather than only install gamma addons?

[edgy echo]

Base anomaly of course is easier but what took me away from it is that nothing makes sense in the economy

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[tidal raft]

Complete to get DAO.

[sterile rapids]

How so? I haven't played it so I wouldn't know what you mean haha

[junior epoch]

Every Vendor is a warlord with infinite guns, ammo, food, meds, and money

in base anomoly

[edgy echo]

Like, for example, you have the cool crafting repairing mechanics which are specific to anomaly but at the same time you don't need all of this because of the economy and the facility to repair guns and armor. Result is hundred of useless items that you will never use. Makes no sense to me, thats just an example among many others

[sterile rapids]

That does seem rather stupid. I kind of knew as soon as I saw GAMMA being played on youtube that thats the experience I want from anomaly, so I guess I haven't missed anything. And this DAO update is pretty cool as well, loads and loads of anomalies to navigate.

[rotund moss]

hmm tried everything from bags to meds that knock you out, still crashes 😦

[vapid dirge]

are you on a specific quest? I had that during one part of OA

[rotund moss]

not really i didnt even talk to Gatekeep for now, just trying to get a bit of work in Jupiter

i will try to fast travel and see if i can sleep at lets say army ware house and if it crashes again i will try to test on a new run (since it only happened since i updated fully today)

[rare gyro]

Anybody remember where are the documents you're supposed to find for the "investigate lab x-8" quest ? I feel like i've been running in circles, the lab isn't that big.

[rotund moss]

did you check the room you only can access via the elevator?

i usually forget about that one

[vapid dirge]

the one with the upset burer tossing shit left and right?

[rare gyro]

I didn't see that i'll check it out

@rotund moss is it by the one elevator with the ladders or is it another elevator? Edit: Indeed it was, i found it. Thanks

[rotund moss]

yes that one ^^

okay for some reason using the guide back to rostok and sleeping there did work.... guess i wont sleep in jupiter for now

[slow topaz]

pain...

it's saying the path is too long to be found
what do I do

[wise sparrow]

i had this happen the first time i tried to do a complete install with the 3.2 installer without deleting mods folder. i deleted the mods folder like you would with the old installer and then a complete install ran without issue.

[karmic shore]

How do I repair armor

[slow topaz]

will try

[wise sparrow]

#│📚manual message #│📚manual

[desert robin]

I have this happen too. @slow topaz

Also, regardign getting MO2 to drop core 0..

Is this where should be edited?

The highlighted bit. I changed it and it doesnt seem to do anything.

[torn sonnet]

hey there! my game is currently VERY dark. i just have the default install (except for changing the reshade, but it looks like this even with reshade disabled)

i can mess with tonemap settings but it feels like it shouldn't be this dark on first install!

[slow topaz]

Just finished the installation/updating with no errors
All I did was delete mods folder and update by update gamma data + complete gamma installation, you can check if it works in your case

[desert robin]

The resources is 'High' so that works, but still shows CPU 0 is loaded

[slow topaz]

What about the pathing thing?

[sick ermine]

did someone get warfare alife working for story+warfare? i can't check both in the new game

[graceful iron]

try deleting shaders_cache in anomaly/appdata and try the #│🔧troubleshooting black and white screen and if that does not work try changing the dynamic tonemap in mcm, it definitely shouldnt be that dark. also try moving the user ltx file from gammaRC3/grok's modpack installer/gamma/modpack patches/appdata to anomaly/appdata

[torn sonnet]

thanks so much! 🙏 reinstalling now in case i messed anything up but will try that after

[slow topaz]

where do I find this?

[graceful iron]

these?

[slow topaz]

oh

right I didnt find first

[vapid dirge]

is the mechanic murder crash still around?

[graceful iron]

grok made a fix for it, not sure if its completely gone or not

[slow topaz]

so, is this right?

[graceful iron]

i really have no idea how it should look

you followed the instructions in #old-framerate-optimisation ?

[slow topaz]

yea

left the pathing unchanged

but I did put the text in the script file

it's just the pathing part that I don't get

[graceful iron]

i am not sure how it works or how to check if its correct

[slow topaz]

[vapid dirge]

the path is in the same file

change the f:// path to whats in line 2

[wise sparrow]

yeah i'm sure I have it setup right as it's launching correctly but the core affinity still has all cores checked. I'm not familiar with the syntax of the argument so I'm not sure if it needs to be changed but I'm also in Win11 so maybe that's why it's not working.

[slow topaz]

I am too, in Win11

[graceful iron]

y everyone using win11, its bad for gaming

[wise sparrow]

it's fine tho

[slow topaz]

I don't wanna pay for license when it changes again

is that C after %comspec% for the drive C or something else?

[wise sparrow]

i assume something else but I also have no idea

[slow topaz]

ah oke

I'm asking cuz I have I have my game in drive E

[desert robin]

Did you manage to fix this?

[slow topaz]

yea

[desert robin]

How?

[slow topaz]

.

[brisk zinc]

Mannaggia a te Warfare non è consigliato in un nessun modo possibile e immaginabile, non rompere i coglioni pure tu grazie

[sick ermine]

ho già fatto

diciamo che ormai sono anni che seguo anomaly e so più o meno bazzicare sul codice per fixare della roba, poi grazie a gamma e grok ho iniziato ad imparare mod organizer che mamma mia che manna dal cielo lol

[slow topaz]

welp
Tried it and didn’t work

I even wrote the path with my own folders’s’ names but

[desert robin]

Nope, doesnt seem to work.. What's with the double backwards slashes?

[rocky bone]

Is there any way to remove the blindness and concussion screen effects that occur every time you are shot?

[graceful iron]

those only happen when you are shot in the head with body health system

[desert robin]

If someone has a confirmed working copy of the file with the cpu 0 removed please share/show?

[wise sparrow]

I just copied the argument from grok's post in #old-framerate-optimisation like I said it launches correctly but just sets default core affinities for me. I was just posting a correct example.

[desert robin]

Think its something with the Affinity, The process priority works, but it just wont drop CPU 0

Trying to find where the "FFFFFFFFFFE" comes from. Maybe its different for people with different CPU's..?

[graceful iron]

i tried comparing the already existing lines to the one in framerate optimization but couldnt figure out much, something seems as it needs to be changed for different systems or is completely wrong (i mean other than directories ofc)

[tidal portal]

wouldn't be shocked if that just doesn't work in Win11

FFFFFFFE is a hex mask that tells the cmd which processors to use, in this case, "everything except 0"

i will say it works for me with my game on E: and win10

[graceful iron]

only changed the game path ?

[torn sonnet]

hey deleting the shader cache seemed to fix it 🙂 thanks!

[tidal portal]

yep, and the number of executables at the top

[graceful iron]

the size? sorry i am asking too many questions, just to make sure we can get this fully working

[tidal portal]

yep, had to change it from 10 to 11 because otherwise it wouldnt show the executable as selectable under modorganizer

[desert robin]

I dont know what this means but Maybe Grok will...

[north turret]

im trying this out rn

[desert robin]

Just tried with the exact settings @tidal portal has, no luck.

[north turret]

how do i know it works?

[desert robin]

Task manager, right-click the exe in the list, go to it in there and "Go to Details" Right click and check affinity

[north turret]

alright, what should it say

[graceful iron]

the core 0 shouldnt be ticked if the method works

[north turret]

yea and my fans are going crazy

game feels better but damn

[graceful iron]

wut?

[desert robin]

System anomaly detected. Meltdown imminient. Assume termination protocols. - Windows

So does Core 0 look unticked now @north turret ?

[north turret]

it's not ticked for me

[desert robin]

Fuark man. How are these people getting it 😢

[north turret]

i copied/edited the file from @wise sparrow

[wise sparrow]

that's weird because after doing some reading my example is likely not entirely correct

[desert robin]

@north turret Can you please post the .ini file directly?

Not like a screenshot or something

Oh

wut

[north turret]

i mean im pretty sure it works

[wise sparrow]

are you on windows 10 or 11

[desert robin]

10

[north turret]

because i get no stutters whatsoever and my fans suddenly got crazy

lol

[desert robin]

Wait is grok maybe on 11

[wise sparrow]

no i'm on 11 and it doesn't work

[tidal portal]

i mean i'm on 10

so

[north turret]

im on 10 too

[desert robin]

can someone post their working ini?

gonna do the ol copy/paste and just change the path. i just want to be sure.

[wise sparrow]

i'm giving up and manually ticking the box like an ape forever

[desert robin]

fucking lmao

[graceful iron]

it could definitely be win 11 for some people

[desert robin]

I use some shitty third party app that pops up eveery time i start the pc. Does it automatically but goddamn its annoying

[north turret]

one sec

[desert robin]

or not, thats cool man

[north turret]

ill test it again

and put ini here

[wise sparrow]

comspec is just an environment variable for the command line interpreter. no idea why it would make a difference being on win10 vs 11. it could just be something with MO2

[desert robin]

fuck it, going back to shitty pop-ups on windows start.

Mo2 keeps messing with the .ini and removing the 11th .exe anyway so idunno. cant figure that shit out.

[graceful iron]

did you change the size to 11?

[desert robin]

yep

nukes the lines i added and sets it back to 10

[graceful iron]

first time it just removed it as well for me, but done it again and its there

[desert robin]

What is this black magic

Some alien race right now be looking down at us like hamsters on a wheel.

[wise sparrow]

mo2 will save it's current config on exit that's why all the window positioning is at the bottom. if you have MO2 open while editing the file it's going to overwrite it when you close MO2

[north turret]

so let me get this right, this is supposed to be replaced with the path of the bin

[graceful iron]

of the exe thats in bin

one of these

[whole pewter]

To clarify a little of what is actually happening here:
"11\arguments=%ComSpec% /C Start /High /Affinity FFFFFFFFFFE F:\Anomaly\Anomaly-1.5.1\bin\AnomalyDX11AVX.exe"

Is listed. To clarify this a little I admit I have no idea what the significance of the 11 is as I've not looked into it. However from there on, this is an "idiots guide" to what the rest of it means.
%Comspec% tells Dos to look for the Cmd.exe command
/C is the drive here it looks
Start is the command being executed inside CMD. So it's CMD -->Start (Start initiates a program)
/High sets the priority
/Affinity <hex> sets the CPU affinity mask, the one in this case is CPU's 1-63 ON, CPU 0 OFF

The F:\.... needs to be set to WHERE YOUR Anomaly Bin folder is with the executables in it ON YOUR PC.

All of the things after arguments have nothing to do with Win 7,10,11. They are universal.
The sad fact is that Windows Dos has not changed since Win95, so the commands and their variables are pretty universal 🙂

[wise sparrow]

explained it better than I could but still not working for me. i think it may just be a MO2 issue. I do have a global install setup and am running gamma from a portable install but I don't see how that could affect anything.

the "11/" at the beginning is just part of the MO2 ini that is being edited

[north turret]

@whole pewter does it matter if

\ or /

[graceful iron]

i believe it does matter

[north turret]

so ill just follow the template with \

[graceful iron]

ok

[whole pewter]

Without nerding out, I haven't looked into what the significance of the 11 is at the start.
However, you could test out better if it works or not by creating a temporary shortcut to the executable in question on your desktop, and then assigning the variables from %ComSpec% /C Start /High /Affinity FFFFFFFFFFE at the end of the TARGET field in Properties of the shortcut.
That would run the executable file with those arguments, then you could check the affinity. If it works, then this is entirely something to do with MO2 and not Windoze.

and yes, any time you're in a command or parameter instance \ and / are very important.

[brisk zinc]

Maybe you're pasting it in the wrong line

"3. Copy paste the following just above [recentDirectories]"

In this case, if my english is correct, it should mean, literally, ABOVE [recentDirectories]

[desert robin]

but that's below

[brisk zinc]

I know, I was just saying, I didn't put anything yet, just trying to troubleshoot with you

[whole pewter]

All MO2 is doing is launching that executable (the game) and then loading in all your mods. Again, to test the parameters, you can just make a traditional desktop shortcut to the exe, and add in the arguments. If the affinity is set ok, then it's not a problem with the syntax.
After testing, delete the shortcut, and launch properly from within MO2, as the shortcut will only launch vanilla anomaly 🙂

[north turret]

okay so

for extra dumb people (me)

C:/STALKER ANOMALY/bin/AnomalyDX11AVX.exe is where F:... goes

[desert robin]

bro you invictus'd lmao you ain't dumb

[north turret]

im a gamer i dont know this stuff lmaooo

[whole pewter]

yes, so in your case there is no F.... it would be
"11\arguments=%ComSpec% /C Start /High /Affinity FFFFFFFFFFE C:\STALKER ANOMALY\bin\AnomalyDX11AVX.exe"
with what you posted above.

[brisk zinc]

The thing with "above" is that (at least with Notepad++) it should be like this:

It should also make sense because going up you have 10, 9, 8, etc.

[north turret]

[brisk zinc]

I'm not even sure of it

It's just that it seems logical to me

[desert robin]

Ive tried about a million and 1 different variations and have yet to find 1 that works. I'll leave it to the wizards.

[brisk zinc]

Have you tried like this as well?

[desert robin]

Even tried adding on to the 2\ which needs no editing just the arguments, and it made no difference.

[whole pewter]

The critical thing to remember is to put in YOUR path to the exe file, not the example one...
This is why when I do instructions, I always try to make that very very clear.

[desert robin]

2\ points to my .exe it uses already and even then it didnt work.

[wise sparrow]

yeah im gonna delete that since it's wrong. my game isn't launching at all with the correct argument so i'm gonna have to figure out what the deal is

[north turret]

it no worky

wait

what the

i didnt do this

[desert robin]

Yeo. that happened to me too once

Happens only when i used \ instead of /

it renames or edits the line when you launch mo2.

[brisk zinc]

I'm trying it this way, I didn't change the last line because I don't know what do I need to put inside of it

The game is open

So now I guess I need to check the thing with the task manager

[north turret]

also it put a space between this automatically

[brisk zinc]

Didn't work I guess?

[north turret]

TUTTI FRUTTI

[wise sparrow]

yeah i tried making a direct shortcut and putting an argument at the end as mael suggested and it doesn't set the correct affinity that way either

[brisk zinc]

Oh okay the italian thing

[whole pewter]

Yeah, idk why they used FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFE it seems a little excessive. I haven't seen a CPU with 64 cores yet....

[brisk zinc]

I think I didn't put the correct path, I'll try again

[north turret]

falco 🤌

i have the correct path but it still doesn't work

[whole pewter]

A HA... Now, that's the most important part.
Is that on Windoze 10 or 11 ? It shouldn't make a difference, but Microsoftylazy

[desert robin]

wait so now it does make a difference...?

[wise sparrow]

i'm on 11 but the target of the shortcut is set as this "C:\Games\GAMMA RC3\bin\AnomalyDX11AVX.exe" %ComSpec% /C Start /High /Affinity FFFFFFFFFFE

[brisk zinc]

I think we're missing the workingDirectory here

[whole pewter]

Can you try with a shortcut putting ONLY this argument after the target
/Affinity FFFFFFFFFFE

[north turret]

would that not be the same as the bin exe

[wise sparrow]

still all cores checked

[brisk zinc]

I don't know

Grok didn't say anything about it

[north turret]

i like how Grok posted it, didn't elaborate and left

what a chad

[brisk zinc]

Wildkins did it without putting anything in it

[north turret]

imagine its because we have avx offset on

[desert robin]

lol i thought the same thing. the ol hit&run.

[north turret]

[whole pewter]

Yes, my bad, it may not work without being run from a Start command, I was just trying a hunch

[wise sparrow]

i'm wondering if theres some security feature in 11 that needs to have an exception set for the anomaly exe

[north turret]

grulag and me are on 10 so

it dont work for us either

[wise sparrow]

yeah it doesn't look like windows has tried to block anything from running so that's probably not it

[north turret]

what in tarnation, this is driving me crazy and i want to solve it

[whole pewter]

No, I just think that the coding syntax is a little odd on this somehow and it's creating a conflict in Wondoze somehow. Windoze is pretty stupid, it only has 2 reactions to bad commands: 1/ Crash or 2/ Ignore it completely & act as though nothing happened.
I'd like to know the original source for the idea, some of the syntax just looks odd to me.
I don't think it's anything to do with avx mode, or security features, I just think it's a syntax issue so that the arguments aren't consistently being applied across builds.

[north turret]

@tidal portal can you post your ini

.........

hit it with the /\

[whole pewter]

For instance, they've tried to be really clever using %Comspec% and there's really no need.
2 lines down they spec the CMD path anyway

[tidal portal]

o

1 sec

[whole pewter]

So, if someone had installed Windoze on say their F: drive then line 3 would crap out

[wise sparrow]

hmm, i was able to start notepad with the correct affinity but i had to use a different bitmask

[delicate wharf]

I didn't know the affinity command takes that format as input

isn't it the int value of the bitmask?

[wise sparrow]

idk i just used the calculator mael posted above

[ember vortex]

is sidorovich the only trader you can buy stash coordinates from?

[graceful iron]

spore is another trader you can buy stashes from

the clear sky trader in swamps

[ember vortex]

ah ok thx

[brisk zinc]

Where did you put that?

[wise sparrow]

c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /C start /affinity 0x0000000000000FFE notepad.exe in a run prompt

should enable cores 1-11

[brisk zinc]

Okay, I'll try with Anomaly

[bold aurora]

How do I edit my alife file?

[brisk zinc]

Nope, nothing, still the same

[bold aurora]

I keep reading that people are changing it, but no one has actually said how or what program they're using

[desert robin]

Notepad.

[graceful iron]

edit alife file to change what?

[whole pewter]

Ok, I'm looking at this suggested syntax for editing the modorganiser.ini and I'm not a fan of it.
I have a possible suggestion for you to try. What's your path to your game executable and I'll type something up for you to try in the ini file......

[bold aurora]

Where do I find it?? Cause its not in the Anomaly root directory

[brisk zinc]

@wise sparrow @whole pewter it works via CMD

[desert robin]

You need to Extract the anomaly base files.

[wise sparrow]

just curious, is there a space in the file path anywhere for your anomaly exe? @brisk zinc

[brisk zinc]

E:\Anomaly-1.5.1\bin

This is my path

[north turret]

i think i got it

[whole pewter]

Yeah, I don't like that whole section of syntax. It's out of sync with the way that the whole rest of that ini file works. I'm gonna make an edit for you, and try it to see if it works 🙂 Give me 5 mins.....

[north turret]

lets see

[bold aurora]

I want to increase the distance as I'm noticing that my game only stutters when NPC's start a firefight

[bold aurora]

You legend, thank you

[desert robin]

Increasing a distance will only make it worse.

You maybe mean decrease

[north turret]

okay grulag

i got us a fix

this will sound weird as fuck but

[desert robin]

Dad please i cant take anymore

[bold aurora]

I've read that some people have found that increasing it has removed their stuttering, is this untrue?

[north turret]

basically, take this, replace it with your own. And inside you will want to change the E:path in every case, from top to bottom (use ctrl + r E: for easier finding, and don't miss the very top one) to your own

this literally did it for me lol

[desert robin]

I can't see why it would? Increasing it means more AI is loaded..?

[north turret]

make sure u dont miss this one at the start

its a cheeky one

ctrl search didnt pick it up

[brisk zinc]

Wait I'm not getting what I need to change

[north turret]

just the paths

[desert robin]

@bold aurora Default .ltx have at it, friend ❤️

[north turret]

okay okay that was hard to follow ill put it more simple

[brisk zinc]

The top one is already like this tho

[desert robin]

You lost me at hello

[graceful iron]

he lost everyone at hello

[bold aurora]

The way that they explained it, they were having less stuttering but lower fps as a tradeoff for raising it? I don't know, I'm just so desperate to get rid of stuttering and I've followed every guide on this Discord and everything I've read on forums and on reddit

[north turret]

Take the file Wild posted. Replace it with your own, Edit it. Replace every E: path with your own path, literally every single one and that's it.

[bold aurora]

Thank you!! ❤️

[desert robin]

Try changing it and see what happens lad. Might be better, might not

[north turret]

this should pop up once it worked

[desert robin]

yeah nah

[north turret]

also because im lazy, i renamed my own folders to what wild has

so all i had to change was E: to C:

[desert robin]

you tell us, youre the one with the magic fix

[graceful iron]

and you launch this one?

[north turret]

yea

[desert robin]

seeing how much of his file is different between mine when compared scares me away from editing mine with his

[north turret]

i mean i cant see the gamma icon anymore but it works

game work 👍

affinity 0 unticked 👍

[desert robin]

i mean i cant play anomaly anymore because its a broken mess but atleast the cpu core thing works right?

[north turret]

nothing in-game is broken

[desert robin]

You replaced your whole .ini with his, did you compare to see what else you replaced?

[north turret]

it all looks the same for me

[desert robin]

oh god.

[brisk zinc]

@north turret you're on Win10 or 11?

[north turret]

im ingame right now

it works

win10

[brisk zinc]

What about "size"?

It's 11 for Wild

[desert robin]

I highly recommend we do not follow what AAAA is recommending..

[brisk zinc]

Shouldn't be 10 for us that we are on 10?

[north turret]

IT WORKS THOUGH

[jagged lance]

we talmbout that automatic core 0 thingo?

[desert robin]

That is when i compare my modorganizer.ini to the one posted.

[whole pewter]

Right mate. Replace all of that 11 stuff in your ini file with this, and then see if it works properly

11\arguments=%ComSpec% /C Start /High /Affinity 0x0000000000000FFE E:\Anomaly-1.5.1\bin\AnomalyDX11AVX.exe
11\binary=E:/Anomaly-1.5.1/bin/AnomalyDX11AVX.exe
11\hide=false
11\ownicon=true
11\steamAppID=
11\title=STALKER GAMMA DX11AVX No 0
11\toolbar=false
11\workingDirectory=E:/Anomaly-1.5.1/bin

This is for YOUR paths

[north turret]

0 errors for me Grulag

[bold aurora]

I'm gonna take a wild stab and guess that you were trying to make it so that Core 0 wasn't active upon starting up Anomaly, but you did it by replacing your .ini with one that was someone elses?

[tidal portal]

size is number of executables, not windows version

[brisk zinc]

Perfect

[north turret]

Yes

[brisk zinc]

I'll try with the Wild one, then with Mael since he made it for me

[bold aurora]

You're a true wildcard

[desert robin]

See that big green section in the screenshot? That's added lines. The red ones are lines missing. You probably wrecked your shit just now man

[north turret]

Grulag

i'am in-game

and i get 0 errors

and all my mods work fine

and affinity 0 is ticked off

[desert robin]

Godspeed friend

[bold aurora]

it works.. for now...

[graceful iron]

thats not the point... you wrecked the mo2/icons/exe shit specifically

[north turret]

[brisk zinc]

Nope, doesn't work

[desert robin]

If you rambo the game how you rambo solutions to the core fix i can see how you invictus'd

[north turret]

[jagged lance]

i just followed the instructions grok gave 🙂

[desert robin]

None of that logical shit here. YUCK 😄

[north turret]

For some people that worked and for some it didn't, for some reason i had to replace my Ini with someone elses and change Paths and that's it

[graceful iron]

wat ?

[desert robin]

It hurts me to read this every time.

[north turret]

back your file up and try it

it will work

[whole pewter]

My edit or one of the other things going on?
I have 2 suggestions, that was test 1
if that fails, then test 2 will probably be ok

[brisk zinc]

The other, not yours

[jagged lance]

you just have to get the anomalydx11avx.exe filepath and copy paste it behind the 11\arguments=%ComSpec% /C Start /High /Affinity FFFFFFFFFFE and 11\workingDirectory=

hope this helped 🙂

[whole pewter]

oh ffs people, for a start the hex argument is wrong....

[brisk zinc]

@whole pewter nothing with yours as well

[whole pewter]

right, test 2 incoming in a few secs

[north turret]

@tidal portal

[brisk zinc]

Also this

[north turret]

you have this too right

right

[jagged lance]

if the hex argument is wrong then grok gave the wrong hex argument 🙂

[desert robin]

Then how is it working for some?

[jagged lance]

i dont know

[north turret]

Magic

[jagged lance]

if it aint broke dont fix it sirs

[north turret]

what if its broke

replace it with something else and hope it works

[whole pewter]

test 2
11\arguments=%ComSpec% /C Start /High /Affinity 0x0000000000000FFE E:\Anomaly-1.5.1\bin\AnomalyDX11AVX.exe
11\binary=C:/Windows/System32/cmd.exe
11\hide=false
11\ownicon=false
11\steamAppID=
11\title=STALKER GAMMA DX11AVX0
11\toolbar=false
11\workingDirectory=

[jagged lance]

maybe it depends on the cpu

[north turret]

@desert robin isn't the MO2 ini bound to.. MO2 anyways

[whole pewter]

Damn it, the copy paste isn't working

[north turret]

maybe we fucked something up when setting it up

and Wild somehow happens to have it right

[whole pewter]

1 sec Falco, I'll stick it in a txt file... poxy discord

[jagged lance]

i can load into the game just fine

i assume i wouldnt be able to at all if it didnt work

[desert robin]

Not really helping bud....

[north turret]

Have you tried it yet Grulag

unironically

[desert robin]

We need to understand why it works, not just "that it does"

[north turret]

im going to restart my pc and complete update and see what happens

if everything is where it should be, this is

[brisk zinc]

Nothing

[whole pewter]

ok, to rehash (pun intended) a theme I'll try a different hex format. 1 sec

[north turret]

ok, complete install going

[desert robin]

Same

[whole pewter]

Remember, in that section these are the only "11" lines that can exist..... so overwrite any new ones you put in 🙂

[vapid dirge]

I like your words, magic man.

[whole pewter]

This is basically the syntax originally used, but with your own path and also using a hex value that only disables less cores, as the other one ending in E disables up to 63 cores, which is redundant.

[brisk zinc]

I'm starting it from MO2 btw

Nothing again

[whole pewter]

yup, modify the ini file,
But close MO2 first, then modify it, then restart MO2 otherwise the changes won't take effect

[desert robin]

And i'm doing this way, as it seems like it should effectively be the same.

Nothing either

[north turret]

[whole pewter]

It's similar, but not the same. Same effect though, or should be

[north turret]

isn't the whole point of this to have a cmd executable in MO2
