[rotund moss]

depends on your preference, only good tip i can give you: avoid having multiple weapons doing the same job

like high caliber pistols and shotguns with buckshot are might the best answer you can have against mutants, but against stalkers they lack impact fairly quick.

[vapid dirge]

The shotguns help with mutants

[craggy fable]

I am doing a Kar playthrough right now and Sig220 is a perfect companion there. If you are going to join Clear Sky, they sell two different tactical upgrade kits for this gun and turn it into a verifiable beast.

You can assemble a shotgun for yourself in the Swamp pretty fast (find one with a mostly OK barrel, attach other components) but getting a SIG would require a lot of luck.

Although I did find a fully specced tactical P99 on one of the bandits, so maybe the chance of getting high-end handguns is higher than I thought.

[wraith token]

Try barmen. Barman, beard, librarian, Aslan, etc.... Dumbass

[delicate wharf]

why insult the man for asking a question lmao

[tidal raft]

That's uncalled for.

[wraith token]

Because he's my dumbass.

I know him.

Should have added context but it was more fun this way.

[delicate wharf]

ah ok that makes sense lmao

I was like who reads up in a thread just to insult some random person

[wraith token]

Also the only reason I would reply to someone asking a question that has already been answered like 4 times.

[graceful iron]

why didnt he ask you then you had the whole server wondering "what the ..."

[dapper iron]

If the game crash-shutdown to desktop without errors or any log what could it be?. Its like a clean shutdown xd. One moment Im playing next second Im in desktop. It never happens before

[slow fox]

Happened to me too once or twice

[delicate wharf]

the log is still there, it gets created when you launch the game

[delicate wharf]

the log is always here as soon as you start the game: Anomaly/appdata/logs/log_name.txt
when people in here talk about logs etc they mean this file not anything popping up on screen

[summer sandal]

this was what i was referring to, i think now i learned my lesson on skimping on armor for more guns

[desert robin]

The end of GAMMA as we know it 😦

This is a huge issue imo. That and crashing when sleeping. Not looking good... I think this is only a recent thing, this wasnt happening a week or 2 ago, yeah? Atleast it wasnt for me?

Im going over the chanelogs in #📢development cause im curious if theres anywhere that it might have started or something was changed that introduced it.. Its getting a real pain in the ass

It looks like people may have started experiencing crashes without logs around or before 20th april. At least from a brief check thats as how far back i can find it but havent checked further.

Could maybe be related to an update to an addon that is in the pack

#old-bugs message

[wraith token]

I haven't slept since the cocaine addiction... Guess I'll have to go out of my way to do some tests

[summer sandal]

i've got two questions, why are campfires radioactive, and why there's no more blue dots on the minimap anymore?

[north turret]

Is there a way to roll back to a previous GAMMA file? Latest update makes game crash whenever you take damage it seems.

[summer sandal]

i've had multiple crashes running it in DX10, i tried everything on #old-framerate-optimisation to keep it running smoothly, sleeping crashes it a lot, i had no choice but to go back to DX8

[north turret]

Ok, thank you. I haven't tried playing on anything besides DX11-AVX, I'll give DX8 a try.

[onyx peak]

can you disable npc loot claim

i nearly killed an exoskeleton renegade the some loner finished him of and took all the loot

[fleet grail]

Does 7.62x54 mm PP (PKM) ammo work with SVD? they're abit buggy and doesnt work with SVT-40

[brisk zinc]

1)Probably some radioactive pocket
2)You need to turn on a mod, 169
Grok removed them to make PDA 2.1 and 3 more useful

[brisk zinc]

Yes it's a mod, you can disable it

[summer sandal]

how do you mean PDA 2.1? does it track bodies?

[brisk zinc]

It's an updated PDA that you can create, you can also buy it IIRC

And yes

[summer sandal]

ah, ok then

[brisk zinc]

3.0 same thing

[brisk zinc]

Again if you want dead bodies again, mod 169, enable it

[graceful iron]

pda 2 only shows bodies you killed, 3.1 shows all bodies

[graceful iron]

loot claim is disabled by default, you can disable it if you enabled it with out issues

[summer sandal]

that would be useful for NPC loot claim

speaking of npc loot claim, what happened to the more agressive npc loot claim?

[graceful iron]

it shouldnt svd ammo is different and pkm ammo is different, at least thats how it should be

[graceful iron]

its not more aggressive loot claim, its more aggressive npc looting

[fleet grail]

irl they're the same

[graceful iron]

it makes npcs loot faster so the player has less chance to take the loot, but its not loot claim

[graceful iron]

i am talking about gamma

[fleet grail]

SVT-40 mags from corpses have PKM ammo loaded into them

[summer sandal]

where would it be in the mod organizer menu?

[fleet grail]

Mod organiser has a search bar at the lower right corner of the modlist

[graceful iron]

you can always use the filter to find mods, but it should be in newly added mods

[summer sandal]

never mind i found it

[graceful iron]

its enabled by default on the latest gamma

[summer sandal]

nice

[graceful iron]

you done a complete installation after the damages update?

the new changes dont seem to crash for me, i did a complete installation just in-case

[fleet grail]

wait- does the damage update need a complete install? I only did Gamma update

[graceful iron]

grok said it does not need a complete install... but it seems to be crashing for some people

it could be existing saves suffering an error with the changes i guess

[north turret]

I did both, first just the addons per latest announcement, but did a complete install after the update started crashing from taking damage. Neither seem to work, either on old saves or new games.

[graceful iron]

wait even new saves?

[fleet grail]

Something is really broken for you then, i only did Gamma update and playing and old save with minimal issues

[north turret]

Yes, started two new saves as Monolith, both crashed after taking damage from certain things. Took pseudodog swipes just fine but pseudogiant ground pounds are crashing the game.

[graceful iron]

impact damages only?

[north turret]

It would seem that way, but I'm not 100% on that.

Not sure how damage from gunshots is calculated under the hood & if impact damage is a part of that.

Haven't been able to test much since I can't make it that far from Palace of Culture XD

[graceful iron]

not really, impact is only things being thrown at you and pseudogiant stomps, if i remember correctly its also fall damage? not certain on the last one

[north turret]

I'll try a full reinstall of everything & see if that helps. Been putting it off since I have slow rural internet & my Starlink hasn't arrived yet ha.

[graceful iron]

you can just delete the mods folder, never delete the downloads folder

delete mods > update gamma data > complete installation

also make sure you run the installer as an admin

[north turret]

Ok, I'll give that a try & see how it goes.

Thanks!

[hollow apex]

is bleeding also affect NPCs?

[graceful iron]

no, after the first changes to damage some damage to actor didnt cause bleeding anymore so this added bleeding is a fix

[hollow apex]

so, I can't bleed some cheeki breeki to death

[graceful iron]

if you shoot them just enough they will surrender or bleed to death already, but not normal bleeding like the actor

[north turret]

Deleted Mods > Updated GAMMA Data > Complete Installation as Admin didn't help, still crashing from impact damage.

[wise sparrow]

i don't really know LUA but it's generally pretty readable. it looks like it's crashing when it's trying to update your armor conditon. what kind of armor are you wearing?

it also has part hit = nil in the log. do you have any mods disabled?

[north turret]

I am taking those hits without wearing any armor, haven't tested whether the ground pounds will still crash game if I have a set on.

I haven't disabled any additional mods after the ones that are disabled by default, no.

[valid spire]

Thanks monkey

How's rust been going

[valid spire]

bitch u think I read

[willow hawk]

What it's your crash log saying ?

[valid spire]

Aye it's the big guy awesome mod man I'm loving gamma

Hardest but most fair version of stalker I've ever played

[willow hawk]

Ah yes I did an error I think

[wise sparrow]

does the game crash if you aren't wearing armor because the local variables are initialized to 0

[north turret]

Great call! Yes, I can take a pseudogiant ground pound while wearing armor, but I removed it and the second ground pound crashed the game as expected.

[valid spire]

If that's a feature thats hilarious

[wise sparrow]

ground pounded so hard it closes the game for you in disgust

[willow hawk]

@north turret wait are you playing without any armor ?

[valid spire]

Pounds your guy so hard it sends you back to windows

[fleet grail]

your modpack so ez this guy doesnt even bother wearing armor

[valid spire]

Dude if your playing no armor fucking

[valid spire]

Ouch

[north turret]

Yes Grok, starting as Monolith without armor. Saw a cool YouTube series where you ditch all items at the start & have to craft your way through.

[valid spire]

Are you doing iron man?

[north turret]

No, no Ironman yet with that goal ha.

[valid spire]

Ok good your not fucking insane

Although I'd expect nothing less from people in here

I know a guy who did the invictus achievement without armor

He was a special sort

[north turret]

I was relying on that pseudogiant near the stadium to kill some Monolith friendlies or whoever spawns there for initial items.

[vapid dirge]

How can you even raid CNPP without any armor

[valid spire]

And invictus is fucking hard with a nosorog and full empties

[valid spire]

Snipers and traps

He used so fucking many rounds and traps

[willow hawk]

Ooch in GAMMA that's gonna be hard lol.

So I think I fixed it. Forgot a check if armor or helmet is nil

[valid spire]

Quick peeking corners with an svd

[vapid dirge]

And meds/vodka for the rads?

[valid spire]

Yes

[desert robin]

Grok do you have any suspicions or anything about the logless crashes?

[valid spire]

He had like 50 anti Rad kits and 50 med kits was half his inventory

[willow hawk]

No

[desert robin]

Shiiiiiit..

[willow hawk]

I have them mainly during sleep

[valid spire]

Like I said he's a fucking nutter

But great

[desert robin]

Yeah i have them during sleep in CS base

[willow hawk]

How old is your save ?

[north turret]

Yes, I'm a pretty novice S.T.A.L.K.E.R. player to begin with, so it's definitely too ambitious of a goal, but I'm having fun with the modpack. Looks & plays great.

[desert robin]

new game from like uhhhhh.. a few days ago

[valid spire]

Weapon repair is a bit weird in how it works but I'm figuring it out

[desert robin]

I think the logless crashes started around or before april 20

from what it looks like

[willow hawk]

I don't really know when this started to happen....

[vapid dirge]

Logless like empty trace?

[valid spire]

Apparently you can't repair field stripped parts with a file and multi tool?

[willow hawk]

Ok

[north turret]

Mostly die to radiation or those damn Loners at the laundromat. Spend more time fighting with the doors that close by themselves than the stalkers, ha.

[wise sparrow]

i know some people were getting them before then but it was very rare

[valid spire]

Ah I haven't even made it north of army warehouses on my saves

I heard the psi emitter was a bit more serious in this mod pack

So I haven't wanted to go north yet

Brain scorcher*

[wise sparrow]

DAO and the rad changes make it harder but i did it a few days ago and it was my "easiest" run of it so far. the upgraded k98 is basically cheating they have no idea where you are if it's dark enough

[willow hawk]

could be g_always_active set it to off @desert robin

In the console

And restart the game

[desert robin]

Ok man. Whats that do anyway

[vapid dirge]

For the empty stack?

[willow hawk]

Could be monster unstucker addon

[valid spire]

Hey just curious grok

How long did it take to patch all this shit together man?

[willow hawk]

Could be NPC more agressive looting

[valid spire]

How many all nighters

[willow hawk]

@valid spire modding daily since 2 years on Anomaly+ working 2 to 10h a day on GAMMA almost every day since December

[valid spire]

Jfc

[willow hawk]

At this point, this project starts to eat me alive and I need to finish it

[desert robin]

Do you study or work outside of that? Just wondering how you manage

[valid spire]

It's pretty much done I'd say grok

[willow hawk]

I'm jobless

[vapid dirge]

so would disabling the npc looting/unstucker be a good test?

[willow hawk]

Oh hell no

[valid spire]

Unless you wanted to throw some high end pc versions of gamma

[willow hawk]

Yes

[willow hawk]

It's not about "high end" it's about balance and stability

[valid spire]

Like include shader installers for MuH MeRSiOn

[valid spire]

Well true

Then again take anything I say with a grain of salt when it comes to modding because I've literally never made a mod in my life

[willow hawk]

I would like GAMMA to feel like a polished stable experience, not a good enough Mish mash of whatever the community came with the last few years on Anomaly

[valid spire]

Would be cool to learn though

[desert robin]

What would help you to be able to continue GAMMA? Or is it more about motivation or passion for it (which may dwindle over time) ?

[valid spire]

So basically overhaul and optimize is your goal grok

[willow hawk]

Making a living out of it

But this will never happen

I'm working a lot on it to finish it and publish it, then I will try to getting the project noticed

Like to press or something

But I have like 0 hope

[valid spire]

Just be like this grok

ahem dear GSC I think I would do well at your company

insert installer for gamma here

Congrats you have job

[willow hawk]

And this will for sure only give a handful of donations and that's it

[vapid dirge]

Would make for a good portfolio for remote dev work

[valid spire]

Remote work

Imagine getting picked up by 4A or gsc though

Seems like it would be fun if your from the eastern European crowd

[vapid dirge]

+community manager

[willow hawk]

Pff... "But you need 3+ years in C++ in industry"

Today's job market is fucked

[vapid dirge]

Relevant experience, thats where the project comes in

bug fixing, managing, and publishing.

[willow hawk]

The issue is that I'm 31 with a PhD and 2 post docs

[vapid dirge]

Oof.

[willow hawk]

And I consistently end up 2nd when trying to get jobs

Like 3 times now

It's kind of depressing

[vapid dirge]

I'm transitioning out of mil, I feel ya

[willow hawk]

So I will just switch to a data science shit job with bad income and that's it

Once I have the experience in industry I'll reach out for better paid jobs (since I only have experience in public institutes currently)

[willow hawk]

Power to you 👍

So about this log less crash

[vapid dirge]

Reckon tomorrow i'll run through some saves w/o NPC loot/Unstucker and see what goes

Been getting logless crashes for a while now

[willow hawk]

Could be Xenotech behavior addon

[vapid dirge]

Noticed it most when looting, shooting, or using PDA

and the infamous sleep

[willow hawk]

Oooooooh could be the new alife fix I pushed

GAMMA Alife fix

[valid spire]

hey man U got this

use me as a reference

[willow hawk]

Problem is, everytime it takes 2 months and a half and it's super stressful

That's because I'm applying to "good" jobs (nice companies, job with responsibilities etc)

[valid spire]

where u from man

what country

see if u can get in at an indie place maybe?

[willow hawk]

France

[valid spire]

ah I see

[willow hawk]

Indie game dev could be nice yes

[valid spire]

if all else fails man get your Net + cert comptia and do IT work

[willow hawk]

But I need to pickup some skills in C and C++ and with common engines like Unity

[valid spire]

everyone needs a IT guy

easy work

not much coding either

[willow hawk]

Yeah well, with a PhD and 2 post docs I planned for something better you know

[valid spire]

right no I understand

[willow hawk]

I'm a good researcher, but there's no job

[valid spire]

but hey whatever keeps the belly full is all im saying

[willow hawk]

That's true

[valid spire]

shit gets desperate Net + cert is easy to get

less than a month training if you hammer down

[willow hawk]

Net + cert ?

[valid spire]

Networking certification

thats what its called here in the states

euro is kinda funky with there certs idk if its the same

[sharp roost]

Im ngl this is why im choosing a focus discipline that doesnt require a phd

[valid spire]

I mean im going into cyber security

[sharp roost]

I dont wanna go further into debt to be maybe competitive for a job

[valid spire]

already have my A+ and Sec+ certs

just need my Net + now and im fully certified to work in a data center

[willow hawk]

You'll find jobs easily then

[valid spire]

hopefully

but I have to move away from family

if I wanna make 6 digits a year that is

[willow hawk]

Everything is about AI, Machine Learning or Cyber security, or Human Health

[valid spire]

cyber security is going to be the backbone of the cyber industry here in the next 5 - 10 years

done my reasearch into it

[willow hawk]

If you don't fall into any of these categories, you are better off opening your own bakery after a 1 year formation

[valid spire]

theres also plenty of remote work in the EU for your types grok

[willow hawk]

I can't find anyb

[valid spire]

just keep looking around and shaking the right hands and youll find a very comfy job man

[willow hawk]

It's mostly full stack devs etc

[valid spire]

PR is everything in tech industry tbfh

public relations

[willow hawk]

But I don't have a dev background

[valid spire]

yes you do

gamma

shits awesome

[willow hawk]

That's not enough

[valid spire]

its well optimized

[willow hawk]

I didn't develop everything related to it

[north turret]

Does the Environmental Mode work on the Geiger counter device? I'm standing in a radiation pocket with radioprotectant active, and it's registering environmental radiation at 0 mSv.

[valid spire]

and yes id say need a few more things under your belt but its a big step in the right direction

no I know but its seemlessly patched together

ive never seen a pack this big run this smooth

in any game

EVER

[willow hawk]

Some pockets don't work yes

[valid spire]

and im on older hardware ffs

thing runs like butter

[willow hawk]

Basically the counter ticks only when you get rads

So you know when shit is bad

Otherwise the counter is just crazy all the time and you don't know when you are taking rads or not

[valid spire]

also wasnt it you that made the dynamic radiation mod I cant remember

[willow hawk]

Thanks

[north turret]

Ok, thanks. So use it more like a medical device to tell exactly how much I've been irradiated rather than as a navigational tool?

[valid spire]

ofc man I compliment good work when its good

[willow hawk]

Yes

[willow hawk]

Yes

[valid spire]

right neat mod btw exactly how the zone would work lore wise with its radiation

[north turret]

Perfect, thank you.

[valid spire]

constanlty changing and evolving

same setting new threats everytime you return to a location

[ripe needle]

any easy way to keep same user.ltx and keybinds when updating?
(other than always renaming user.ltx to something different and then put it back)

[desert robin]

What does g_always_on do again?

[willow hawk]

prevents the game from bugging when alt tabbing

[willow hawk]

There's an addon named MCM (rename blabla) just rename it and move it to the bottom of your load order

[desert robin]

Is it just me or the gun that hip wants seems super rare..? I'm over 8 days in and havent found a single one.. and this seems to happen every playthrough

I find a million 'toz-194' but is there different variants? because she never seems to want the ones i find

[willow hawk]

It's just random

Hum really?

Are you sure to bring ammo with it?

[calm tangle]

I think you're missing ammo. I've given her one with 0 parts.

[desert robin]

hmmmm, maybe thats it...

What is any medicine that gives psy protection, actually good for? 🤔

[willow hawk]

Any?

Etperazine is cheap

[desert robin]

No but like what is its use?

I cant find any scenario ive ever needed to use it

Theres ammo there too

And is this the toz 194 i need to give to Hip? She wont say anything about it to me...

[tropic orbit]

You got atleast 20buckshots for that too?

[desert robin]

Oh you need 20? Ok damn that might be in then.. Wish it was more clear how much was needed..........

[tropic orbit]

She does tell you i think

[desert robin]

If you can get away with giving them a gun with no parts you'd assume that you could give minimal ammo -_-'

[tropic orbit]

Well to be fair

She doesnt even take the ammo

She doesnt need ammo lmao

[desert robin]

LOL

[tropic orbit]

Everytime I've reset and done her quest the buckshot stays with me

But yeah you still need 20buckshot in inventory anyway

[desert robin]

im changing this fucking quest.

Im going to edit the code...

[willow hawk]

Protection against psy fields, etc

[tropic orbit]

Hey Grok question about the icon thingy

Icons get borked under 50% textures

[willow hawk]

Only BAS ones right ?

[tropic orbit]

I believe so

Is there a fix aside from moving textures up

[ripe needle]

like this?

[willow hawk]

yep

[fleet grail]

Grok, did you nerf Lucifer with your ballistic patch? 'cause i was minding my own business looting a Sin at red forest when a thicc duty boi pushed me into an anomaly and i got almost insta gibbed 2-shot even when i had Seraphim

[wooden topaz]

will there be an opportunity in the future to open playboy?

[willow hawk]

No I didn't on purpose but which anomaly was that ? Physical one ?

[fleet grail]

yeah the s u c c one, but there was no "preload" that it does, they just instantly dealt damage

[willow hawk]

Yes it's a type of physical anomaly

[strong wraith]

Yo, did you find a fix for this? I'm going insane from this

[fleet grail]

I had the same issue in Red forest, fixed it by area transit and save&load

[craggy fable]

+5 Psi resistance, +25% tiredness, 2 uses before the pages become too sticky? 🙂

[sterile rapids]

Yeah move to another area, reload didnt fix it by itself

[craggy fable]

Is Hip the only woman in the zone? The note in the loading screen seems to say that she is, but I have a delivery for Katya in the Army Warehouses. I haven't got there yet, but Katya is a female Russian name so I am a bit confused.

Not to say that I am telling anyone how to live their lives — if Katya turns out to be a burly 60-year-old man, then more power to them :)))

[tropic orbit]

What's supposed to happen with the semenov quest

Im killing mutants but its not completing

[strong wraith]

Yup, I figured, forgot to report back, thank you

[fleet grail]

One of the mutants ran away, the marker does not follow it

[tropic orbit]

F

[fleet grail]

Or, you mean the Yantar one?

[tropic orbit]

Yeah yantar

Theres no marker at all

[fleet grail]

He needs to see 5 different mutant corpses

[tropic orbit]

I dont even see mutants anymore

[fleet grail]

Just have him follow you

Its not Yantar locked, you can go anywhere

[tropic orbit]

Okay, I read local area so I thought I'd have to stay in Yantar

[paper sable]

I just updated again and why there are stalkers after every corner and no mutants? It didn't used to be like this

[neon prawn]

I have some FPS problems in G.A.M.M.A. but I can play just fine in Vanilla Anomaly could it be related to some of the mods and can I disable them ?

[willow hawk]

No

[willow hawk]

#old-framerate-optimisation

[tropic orbit]

Are companions not dismissable immediately

[grave canopy]

why do i have green ground when using simple autumn?

nvm

[gentle tulip]

Had this happen to in Yantar. Never even seen a burer while there but it would start up and go constantly everytime I entered the map

[sterile rapids]

Am I mistaken that to disassemble ammo I need a gunsmithing kit? I have one but it says I'm missing the proper tools.

[grave canopy]

you need multitool

[sterile rapids]

Legend, thanks!

[rotund perch]

In regards to weapons, what does this upwards pointing arrow indicate?

[tribal estuary]

Installed upgrades on item

[rotund perch]

That makes sense now that you mention it lol

Appreciate that Corvus, thanks bud!

[tribal estuary]

You can also check which one by right clicking and selecting details. The installed ones are marked as green on the bottom of the tab

[sterile cedar]

if i change the preset from normal to easy in DAO's MCM menu will it stop spawning so goddamn many anomalies? cause this is kind of a ridiculous amount of anomalies, u cant roam dark valley rn without bumping into them

[tidal raft]

It'll reduce the amount spawned, yes.

[willow hawk]

Wait before you see Red Forest

[safe gulch]

I wanted to ask a dumb question,with the ban of selling weapon in the zone isn't more appropriate for stalker or just the ones in the south to use more melee combat?(I know on the long run they are easy target when you have a guns and it's can only be an option if munition were scarce)

[sterile cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/hide-the-pain-harold-harold-smile-forced-gif-21831075

dodging monos and sin + a shit ton of mutants in the middle of a forest that is now ridden with anomalies every 10 meters doesnt seem like a recipe for fun, depending on how it goes i might just nuke that entire mod from my load order, i mean, mod author was kind enough to have a "delet this nephew" button in his mcm menu after all lmao

[limber shard]

Do i really need pills if i want to heal my limbs? people said i just need to sleep but that doesnt do anything, even if i used a bandage right before.

[tidal raft]

Depends on how much you managed to sleep and if you were woken up by something.
Use a sleeping bag, plus a bed roll to get the best sleep possible.

[craggy fable]

Didn't know that, actually. Would have saved me some Yadulin, I guess.

[tidal raft]

That depends too. You may not even be tired enough to sleep, and it may still be mid day. You could spend a cheap 1,850 RU at a medic for a full restoration.

[limber shard]

at the camp in cordon with the mechanic, near campfire, full 8h sleep. Is it supposed to give the yellow health or permanent health?

[brisk zinc]

What

Take a screenshot

[flat folio]

No pillows in the zone 😔

[limber shard]

king size yet limbs still broken 😦

[tidal raft]

Did you eat and drink before sleeping?

[limber shard]

about half full on both bars

but maybe the hungy symbol was already there

[tidal raft]

Yep, that won't do. You are constantly losing health while sleeping if you aren't fully refreshed before sleeping.

While you are losing health your limbs won't recover.

[limber shard]

oh so im already starving despite having a few bars left?

[tidal raft]

Not at that immediate time.
Time passes by very quickly while sleeping, but so does hunger and thirst.

If you get thirsty or hungry early during sleep, you'll lose health while recovering it at the same time—finding a sort of equilibrium.

[limber shard]

i see, do i get negative effects at all when the hunger / thirst icon appears on the bar?

[tidal raft]

Not the white ones. When it turns yellow you lose health.
Generally you should eat/drink whenever you see those icons appear.

[limber shard]

Thank you really much great help stalker

[tidal raft]

[viral stone]

is fluid relations just for warfare or also for story?
and what makes Warfare mode Unstable? crashes or just not properly working?

[tidal raft]

Don't use Fluid Relations, it's bugged like crazy.

[viral stone]

thank you for that information 🙂

[tidal raft]

Warfare is very unstable, huge loss of frame rate, progression is not built for it, etc.

[viral stone]

alrighty. i was just wondering

okay how about turning on Dynamic Faction Relations in the General settings? i think that it could be as broken?

[tidal raft]

No, that's fine. I use it myself.

[viral stone]

woohoo \o/ madness begins

inb4 everyone declares war

[willow hawk]

Meanwhile I find Zaton and Jupiter so empty like what the hell

[tidal raft]

Did you get the Duga Free achievement?

[limber shard]

I went to sleep with full bars food/water, even bandage again, 6 hours, no yellow symbol when waking up, limbs not healed a single bit

[tidal raft]

For how long?

[limber shard]

6 hours

[tidal raft]

Is your overall health (body meter) fully healed?

[limber shard]

yes i took a militar aid kit, was fully healed, slept, woke up and only had 80% life, limbs still damaged. no radiation

[tidal raft]

Do you have any attachments equipped on your outfit?

[limber shard]

nothing just a plain suit

[willow hawk]

That's when you destroy the Brain Scorcher ?

[tidal raft]

Brain Scorcher and the Miracle Machine.

[willow hawk]

Ah yes. No, not yet

I want to stock up before going to the brain scorcher

maybe that's why monolith isn't everywhere already ?

[willow hawk]

aaaaaah ok

makes sense yes

[tidal raft]

[tidal raft]

Strange. You shouldn't be losing overall health while sleeping unless you are irradiated, taking damage from emissions, forgot to eat/drink before sleeping..

[stable stag]

Would it be possible to reach Aslan using a disguise and make use of the lottery?

Or would he just shoot me as I approach him

[limber shard]

thanks again, i will see what i can do

[tidal raft]

Only if your disguise is bad. Otherwise you can interact with him.

[stable stag]

Thanks

[tidal raft]

[tidal raft]

Monolith should have some presence in the North before you turn off the Brain Scorcher—but they'll increase patrols once more stalkers show up in the areas.

[brittle apex]

Is there any way to spawn a working radio/radio sound actor? I changed my base and I want to be able to listen to the music in it.

[tidal raft]

You have a radio on your PDA.

[brittle apex]

Yeah, but I want to have factions radio.

[tidal raft]

To my knowledge, you can't.

[old nexus]

Do NPCs ever forget that you ''accidentally'' blew up one of their own with C4?

I'm friendly with the mercs, but I used a big boom to assasinate a target in Dead City, and now just their base wants to kill me.

[tidal raft]

Not sure. I don't think they do, unless after a very long time has passed.
Try to disguise yourself as a Bandit and then assassinate the target, taking off the disguise while in hiding will reset their aggression.

[tall stream]

Never mind I just found it

[brisk zinc]

Look better

()

[vivid prism]

What addon changes jam mechanics

[graceful iron]

wpo

[vivid prism]

The one that has a special keybind

[graceful iron]

it changes the whole gun repair and jam mechanics

[vivid prism]

is it essential

I hate it

[graceful iron]

well, the whole gamma progression depends on it you tell me if its essential

you can manage to disable it but it will be a mess, it has quite a few patches and dependencies i believe

if you are not sure how to use it #│📚manual do some reading

[brittle apex]

You can always make it easier in Mods Configuration Menu

[pure scarab]

would a hideout base like tarkov be somewhat achivable in stalker?

like as you upgrade some stuff you would be able to craft, use the tools to upgrade the workbench

you could get raided and stuff

dunno if it could work or if this is a appropiate channel

[viral stone]

you can setup a tent and place several backpack-stashes for sorting purposes somewhere

and use toolkits as a "vice"

you wont get raided

[sterile rapids]

You could in theory use the debug menu to spawn objects as well if you wanted to "customise" a location to look lived in I suppose.

[willow hawk]

Not really no

[vivid prism]

It's not about being easy or hard its just cancer when your gun jams

[brittle apex]

My gun never jams

[vivid prism]

i mean the animation

[brittle apex]

What animation?

[vivid prism]

are we even talking about the same thing

[brittle apex]

I think we are

You don't like gun jams and unjamming animations

Correct?

[vivid prism]

I didn't word myself correctly

I do like all of them

[rotund moss]

elaborate

[vivid prism]

Its just that im used to normal anomaly where you press r when shit jams

right

and when i do that

the weapons just spaz out

holster and unholster

[brittle apex]

Yeah, It is kinda annoying but it only take some cloth and oil to stop it

[vivid prism]

I know but I can't stand it

bugs with me on another level

[rotund moss]

since i usually dont use rusted junk, as soon as i get it - think i know what you mean, but at the same time im not quite sure.
I do know that pressing the reload button while your weapon is jammed it basically does "nothing" for the gun it self. Pressing the Unjam button will clear your weapon and depinding on how severe the jam is you might need to reload as well after (i think its called super jam, and is usually disabled - tho you will hear "jamming with you" from bob, which if not prepared can be an actual horror trip)

[dire garnet]

Is there a list of all locations in game ? I wish to expend a bit the starting locations for some factions, but I can only go so far, I'm missing a lot of possible locations names. For exemple, spawning on the market in Garbage, along with the Loners there

[rotund moss]

that specific location is called "Flea Market"

tho i do not know how its called in the files

[dire garnet]

Thanks for the info, I was hoping to find it in base anomaly starting locations's file but there's not much in there unfortunately

[brittle apex]

What is this? I use Grizzly all the time and I never seen this before.

[dire garnet]

Battery running low ?

[brittle apex]

Grizzly do not use battery

[rotund moss]

your grizzly does seem to not have the "infinite battery" bug anymore

and yes it does

[brittle apex]

It was a bug?

[rotund moss]

yes

[brittle apex]

I thought it was intented

[rotund moss]

no

its the homemade relative early available "find all da artifacts" option

[brittle apex]

Ok I checked it. It actually takes batteries now

[brittle apex]

Yeah but it is inferior to other III tier detectors

[rotund moss]

why does no one ever believe me

[rotund moss]

not really

but if you prefer location of the artefact, you do you

mean while im watching bloodsuckers burning to death while hunting artefacts at night, with NVGs on

[willow hawk]

If you use repaired guns, it never jam

Guess what you can't broken guns

[brittle apex]

@willow hawk Is it possible to spawn faction's radio/voice actor?

[willow hawk]

no

[dire garnet]

@willow hawk Is there a list of all locations in game ? I wish to expend a bit the starting locations for some factions, but I can only go so far, I'm missing a lot of possible locations names. For exemple, spawning on the market in Garbage, along with the Loners there

[willow hawk]

First look at how spawning work

it's an ltx file and you need in game coordinates

[dire garnet]

Yeah, it's new_game_start_locations.ltx right ?

I gave a look at how it was made, base on what's already there, both in Gamma, and in the Expended Starting Locations addon

So I should go ingame, using debug HUD or something to get the data ?

[tropic orbit]

I'm trying to create a stash in Foresters room(where the boxes are) but the stash I'm making ends up on the floor below. Is that normal

[willow hawk]

Xray magic

[tropic orbit]

So no stashes higher than the ground floor?

[willow hawk]

No it works in many places flawlessly

[tropic orbit]

Oh so it's just here

[willow hawk]

most likely yes

btw setting a stash in red forest is so good so manage equip load

get artefacts for days > right click backpack on pda > open back pack > store artefacts

[tropic orbit]

Yeah my previous stashes were in rostok and meadow and they were a hassle to get to since im spending more time up north than I thought I would

[tropic orbit]

Wait you can do that?

[willow hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/very-based-kruglov-approves-stalker-gif-24761835

Borderline cheating, but yes

[tropic orbit]

I uhhh

Fast travel to it anyway when I'm too lazy

[willow hawk]

I actually prefer setting up stashes in all maps than playing with companions

[tropic orbit]

[willow hawk]

get some shit > store it in the stash > move the shit later on

[tropic orbit]

Imma start doing this instead

[ember vortex]

is there an addon that updates the graphics of the anomalies like the corrosive one, the corrosive one in jupiter near the station gives me like 10fps when I look at it

otherwise I get like 150fps

[tropic orbit]

I was starting to wonder if there was a mod for connected stashes anyway

[ember vortex]

i don't get the issue with vanilla anomaly anomalies

[brisk zinc]

MagsRedux probably, I'm not sure about it but it's the only mod that concern ammo stuff

...I think so

You can create stashes wherever you want

Yes like I said you can create stashes basically everywhere, I'm sure you can drop a backpack there near this bench

[magic reef]

Is it only me who thinks that anomilies are far too common? I would prefer a system where they are really rare but deadly and always contain artifacts. It would be like treasure hunting anomilies with detector

[brisk zinc]

I don't think we have something like that at all...

Or at least I don't know

Never heard something like that

If you know some mod that do what you want, fell free to add it to your mod list

Could also be that

[vale mantle]

Oi. havent been playing for like 2-3 months. to get the latest version i just need to ''update gamma data'' and then '' update gamma installation'', right?

[willow hawk]

It's not possible

[brisk zinc]

@odd mango we have a "checking gun animation" if you want, double tap F, if the gun have an animation, it will "move"

[willow hawk]

Cinematic VFX particles

[willow hawk]

No. You need the new client

#💽how-to-update

If you already have RC1 or RC2 and want to update to RC3

• Download and Extract RC3 to a new folder : https://drive.google.com/file/d/15Bdx__-Kdv_t5UYxgEcuJLsInHZuF0n1/view?usp=sharing
• Move your RC1 or RC2 GAMMA/downloads folder to the new RC3 install.
• Check #old-how-to from step 2

[brisk zinc]

That's the "oh found a new gun let me look at it" animation

[vale mantle]

ok, thx

[brisk zinc]

The double tap F is something like that

[gilded nova]

is this meant to happen? there's a specific spot near an upturned table on the bottom floor of the Monolith War Lab in Generators that seems to keep spawning random ammo and meds continously

[brisk zinc]

The thing you're asking for is basically Tarkov, a thing that Grok is trying very hard to NOT have in GAMMA (the "Tarkov" feel I mean or like copying Tarkov and throwing everything about it in GAMMA)
But if you find it and it works, feel free to suggest it in #old-suggest

[magic reef]

I have been playing ironman loner in rookie village. Any tips on how to ptogress. It feels like i am engaging fighs all the time with no armor and only starter weapon.

[brisk zinc]

Do quests, loot stashes, kill a lot of people, stole their equipment and repair it, rinse and repeat

Exactly, that's what Grok is trying to avoid because if you want Tarkov, you already have EFP

[magic reef]

Thats what i do but i never seem to be able to get better equipment so that i can venture to more dangerous areas

[brisk zinc]

Early days are like that, it's normal

You have Great Swamps, Darkscape (when they sent you there to kill people) and Military checkpoint as well to kill if you want to try your luck there

Also, Clear Sky (if Grok didn't change anything) still gives you pretty good stuff if you do their quests

[magic reef]

Yeah. I could draw military to rookie village for loot. But that feels exploity

[brisk zinc]

Do it by yourself then, like a real Chad

[stone island]

you can do it alone

With save scumming

[magic reef]

Thats kamikaze mission :)

Its really nice gaming experience though

[stone island]

you can collect some good condition ak parts too

So it is worth it if you ask me

[magic reef]

For fun i started playing soc memories of the zone. Prob the best vanilla experience. But its childs play compared to gamma

[tropic orbit]

Even vanilla anomaly feels like easy mode compared to gamma

[fleet grail]

Just kill Wolf

[north turret]

can i somehow add languages to choose from?

[latent otter]

Clear Sky has last dawn quests which are death sentence for early game hobo but rewards are more than worth it

[warped ginkgo]

the only ones are english/russian

there are spanish/french language packs for vanilla anomaly, but if you add them you will probably get text_strings for custom addons texts

[calm tangle]

Are they? The first 2 are fairly easy. The military one is difficult for sure.

I recommend grabbing Fanatic and making him tag along, start an ecologist escort quest from Cold, and then attack the Pump Station (Occasionally the Clear Sky members will clear it though)

[tender tusk]

How do I level up traders? By selling them enough loot or doing quests for them? Or doing quests for their faction?

[calm tangle]

Doing quests for their faction.

Some traders, like Medic and Technician though, only get better stocks once you give them certain tool-kits.

Medic will get some other medical items when given a Drug-making Kit. And Technicians will sell each Tool-kits stage of repair kits.

[torn berry]

i've been away for a month or so, does the minimap no longer show dead bodies?

[graceful iron]

yes, its pda 2 and 3.1 that show bodies now

you can enable the dots on minimap mod in mo2

[brisk zinc]

That's why I said that, it's worth it after all

[vapid dirge]

Just restarted last dawn, dogs cleaned up all the renegades for me

[wise sparrow]

could you always increase a companions carry weight by giving them a backpack? just randomly put one on my LLMC slave and it went up

[soft leaf]

which faction drops the full-sized ks23?

[graceful iron]

most of them, exoskeleton ones cant get the increase

[dire garnet]

Finally managed to create starting locations, just need to get the hang of it now

[crystal pine]

Guys, I'm new here. Do you have any idea why the ambient music stops playing for some reason?

[tropic orbit]

Technicians no longer repair armor?

Or am I doing something wrong

[warped ginkgo]

you need to repair them yourself now

[zenith magnet]

@tropic orbit before the moderators or grok smite your ass like they almost did mine, i suggest you read the #│📚manual , take this as a friendly advice

are updates a "as soon as possible" kinda thing or "do when you want" kinda thing?

[tropic orbit]

Oof that makes sense now

[zenith magnet]

yeah avoid my mistake

[warped ginkgo]

not really, you can always read if they add anything new or fix some bugs you could have in your playthrough

it's up to you

[zenith magnet]

thanks

[tender tusk]

Do I need to enable magazines in mod settings? My friend has magazines in his game that he needs to fill with ammunition but I dont.

[zenith magnet]

@tender tusk yes it's under 202-Optional, the addon is called Mags Redux

[tender tusk]

Do I have to make a new world when I didn't have it enabled in the last one?

[zenith magnet]

as far as i know you can just enable it without needing a new world

[vale mantle]

umm, latest gamma version has old (agroprom underground) main menu screen and old music?

[zenith magnet]

no idea

sorry

[warped ginkgo]

you can enable it mid playthrough, but you can't disable it in that whole game

if you no longer want to play with mags, just disable it and create a new game

[latent otter]

I remember dragging my early game companions for quite a few days they just wanted a guide to lead them to Zaton in a dozen or so hours

[wise sparrow]

It can happen when you tab out of the game

[wise sparrow]

New main menu isn’t released yet

[graceful iron]

it can stop if you are in combat, i think this only happens if you enable dynamic music but have not tested if it works the same way without

[willow hawk]

New feature from an addon

[willow hawk]

Bandits ? I tried to limit ks23 because it was wrecking the player too much. With the new damage system, not so much, so I will make it more widely available when I work on the NPCs loadouts

[willow hawk]

The new menu isn't released yet

[magic reef]

Is it a bug that when you bring up ammo wheel actor always reloads weapon even if not choosing ammo. Only way to avoid is to press esc

[graceful iron]

its an anomaly feature i believe, you have to either click the ammo you already have or press esc, pressing y again changes the ammo i suppose as a quick way to change ammo type

[vale mantle]

2 questions: are you aware that saiga 12 (with big 10-12 something mag) has broken reload anims ?

[magic reef]

It reloads even when clicking same ammo and aldo pressing wheel button to exit

[vale mantle]

and can i play the clear sky questline as a duty member?

[graceful iron]

#│📚manual

[vale mantle]

cool

[brisk zinc]

What happened to you?

Now I'm curious since we answer this kind of questions on a daily basis without even a complain
It's not very nice to pass us off as those who complain or insult you because we answer a question asked 1000000 times already

[fringe radish]

Is there a way to have a crosshair for FL40 Grenade attatchment?

[fresh compass]

sheer curiosity, is there a list of all guns that can be found?

[tidal raft]

#│📚manual

[fresh compass]

missed that doc at the bottom, ty

[summer sandal]

what anomaly is this?

i haven't seen one like this before

[graceful iron]

dynamic anomalies overhaul adds the new ones, you can see them in the pda guide i think

[summer sandal]

cool

[static lake]

so there's this long range combat mod I wanna install into gamma. is that possible?

[graceful iron]

what mod is that?

[static lake]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/sfss-mod

[graceful iron]

not sure, it will depend on the files and scripts it edits

but i think its supposed to be a simple edit

[edgy echo]

We have stealth overhaul for AI behaviour already editing the same files. Which one is better I don't know, but I think Stealth do the job already

[static lake]

I'm assuming it's this mod?

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/stealth1

the vid I saw the mod on did say it was incompatible with stealth 2.0

[edgy echo]

Yeah thats the one included in gamma

[light mauve]

Anyone know why the water looks like this

In game is like different colors

[vale atlas]

Could you potentially run into problems if you have anomaly installed on the c: drive? I know that with Bethesda games it’s recommended to install those games on a drive other than c: because the windows security can mess things up when you mod those games. Is it similar with this game? After installing this modpack my game keeps crashing after a certain amount of play time and when I go to start the game back up it crashes on start up. When I look at the crash logs it’s been saying that it can’t find texture or sound files. I then I have to reinstall anomaly then the modpack then everything works fine again.

[warped ginkgo]

you can install it any disk you want

but not some folders:

if you crash, just drag and drop your crashlog in #old-bugs and someone will help you

[vale atlas]

Ok will do I was just trying to see if I could rule out some issues and gather as much info as I could before I officially asked for help.

[graceful iron]

if its a simple crash with 274 mods enabled and no red crosses (except maids icons, you can ignore that one) then just post the crash log, it could be a known bug and fix

[wooden nest]

where am i supposed to find newer versions of pdas, and it's probably not so cheap...

[hoary veldt]

You make 'em with your toolkits

[graceful iron]

you craft them only

each toolkit tier can craft one of the PDA tiers

[wooden nest]

oh yeah, forgot about that, do pardon me

[wooden nest]

gave my only tier 1 to xeno

[tidal portal]

You'll be swimming in them before long

[graceful iron]

always keep one set of toolkits

you can give extras to mechanics

[wooden nest]

okay, i will think it through before i do something. thanks a lot!

[light mauve]

Whats that mod called that prevents me sleeping when not tired

[graceful iron]

immersive sleep - immersive sleep patch - sleep balance

you can use sleeping pills to sleep

or use vodka to increase sleepiness

[strange python]

How canI edit the drop rates of magazines? Or assign extended to expert and above?

[dusty flicker]

quick question what does the economy no BAS injection mod do?

[graceful iron]

its the gamma economy but for the BaS mod (boomsticks and sharpsticks)

[dusty flicker]

oh ok good to know thanks'

[north turret]

Is It still not recommended to play warfare mode (warfare alife overhaul) with Gamma?

[graceful iron]

yes #old-how-to

[north turret]

What makes it unstable? I have maybe half or more of the add-ons in already in a playthrough of warfare with no issues. I just wanted to shift over to Gamma for the easier updates and load order

[willow hawk]

Crafting is essential

[clever hound]

Hello. I wonder whether putting gamma in SSD actually improves any performance ?

Or it's just for a loading times

[willow hawk]

Warfare is asking for problems that's all

[graceful iron]

you can run it, but it has a bit less fps and much worse bugs and crashes, and you wont get much support from here since gamma is focused on storymode

[willow hawk]

Loading times mostly

[graceful iron]

putting the anomaly folder in a ssd helps with loading times yes, you can put the actual gamma folder in any drive i think it will just affect installation speeds

[clever hound]

So by putting Gamma in ssd it will install addons faster ?

[graceful iron]

from my understanding, yes

[clever hound]

Also, did Grok fixed modb bot flagging by any chance ? 😄

I haven't updated this game in a while so thinking give a shot again

[graceful iron]

he did a few things to lower the chances, just follow the new #💽how-to-update instructions and get the new installer in #old-how-to

the installer should be version 3.2

[clever hound]

Oh, okay

[graceful iron]

and make sure to run it as admin

[clever hound]

How about game performance. Is it got better ?

[graceful iron]

not sure if it changed, but the new core 0 affinity seems to reduce stutters by a decent bit (its old but now you can make it automatic instead of having to do it everytime you launch the game)

you have RC3 right? make sure to update with a complete install since a few mods and big changes got added

[clever hound]

I have deleted everything right now

I have to redownload everything

[graceful iron]

that works to i guess

you could have kept the downloads folder

[clever hound]

Hope so

Yeahh, I could

[graceful iron]

why do people like to delete the downloads folder, even more after someone tells them not to

[clever hound]

Humans are weird

[north turret]

Mercs declared war on my faction but they don't shoot me when I am passing through dead city. Does my goodwill still affect them? I like have 500+ with mercs.

[willow hawk]

Halved it...

[willow hawk]

Similar but with new features like more dynamic anomalies etc

[willow hawk]

Were you wearing a disguise ?

[clever hound]

By the way, you mentioned somewhere... Labs now spawn artifacts ?1

You saying they are worth to explore twice now ??

[graceful iron]

after emissions, yes

and its supposed to be the more rare (higher tier) ones to spawn there

[tidal portal]

Does that include stuff like Agroprom Underground or nah

[clever hound]

But it's just artifacts for now. No new dynamic task that would require to visit labs more ?

[north turret]

No, still using a clear sky armor.

[willow hawk]

Yes

[willow hawk]

Yea

[tidal portal]

Pog

[clever hound]

I wish there was an addon for that. To make a worth it revisit them again. Like grabbing extra documents or retrieving intel. Something like that

Or maybe more dangerous mutants

[magic reef]

I have a question about artifacts. When i find the or get them via quests they are not in the special container still they dont give rads? How does it work? Thanks

[willow hawk]

Well there's a new quest for all labs + artefacts spawning there and mutants respawning as well

[clever hound]

I liked, what's he's called, the dude who made extra tasks addon

[willow hawk]

Aren't they junk artefacts with perks and no rads ?

[graceful iron]

each artefact literally has properties on its tool tip, radioactive ones will have a "radiation : 7msv" for example

[clever hound]

What quest

[magic reef]

Aha ok perhaps junks

[willow hawk]

From the doctor @clever hound

[clever hound]

The swamp one ?

[graceful iron]

to explore all labs and get the extra documents to enter the monolith warlab in generators and some "ending", talk to the swamp doc to get started

[clever hound]

Ohhh that's soo cool. Well. Last time I've played a Military quest. I could'nt get in to war labs due the decoder

And I could'dnt get it from Hotel due the doors being closed

[graceful iron]

you have to do specific things before unlocking those parts, but i think sometimes they can bug

you need all the lab's documents to unlock the war lab i believe

[clever hound]

Last time I've checked those war labs. They were empty as fck. They are huge and have a lot of potential for quest.

[magic reef]

Any chance for a melee overhaul? Viable melee weapons and builds?

[graceful iron]

melee is already viable enough, dont turn this into another action RPG please thanks

use an axe and dodge mutants

using melee against stalkers is stupid, unless you are stealth

[magic reef]

But no dodge roll, joking😋

Yeah i agree melee should only work with stealth really. Does the stealth system function good with melee sneak ups?

[graceful iron]

the stealth is kind of weird in anomaly, i guess the stealth mod tries to fix that but not sure how good it is currently, i guess you just have to do some testing

make sure stealth kills are enabled in gameplay options

you can also tweak some parts of the stealth mod in the mcm

[magic reef]

Yeah. Sneak ups from behind should be one shots with right weapon and if enemy is not neck armoured

[desert robin]

I wish npc's sometimes charged you with melee weapons

[clever hound]

Imagine a bandit chasing you with an axe at 3 am That would be scarier than a bloodsucker

[desert robin]

Does anyone know how to get the good version of masks overlays without all that shit over them?

[graceful iron]

getting slapped in the face so hard i get stunned for a few seconds is scary enough, especially when they jump scare you around a corner. btw this is kinda #🔨base-gamma-support

[clever hound]

How can I fix this dark screen problem ?

I was just following performance guide

This is cranked on max brightness and gamma

Nevermind, fixed it. Forgot to turn off one addon

[zenith magnet]

what did you turn off?

[clever hound]

One of the enhanced shaders. Forgot to turn off by the guide

[zenith magnet]

oke, thanks

[desert robin]

Grok grok grok what's the major QOL's?

[junior junco]

Does the trader inventory open up once you get high enough rep with a faction. Meaning, would they start selling weapons and armour?

[desert robin]

Yes, and no. (Yes they open up more items, no guns or armor)

[junior junco]

Ok

Even at rep 2000

[desert robin]

no. ever.

All guns and armor must be found, repaired/salvaged. If you want something you have to make it from scavenging and repairing via crafting.

[junior junco]

Ya got it

[desert robin]

With monster unstucker having been causing the crashes is it getting removed? Or will the author fix it? I think it's Demonized's mod isnt it?

[torn spindle]

Hi, is there any way to remove the blood splatter when you shoot npc's??
many thanks

[desert robin]

Grok, what happened for tushkano's to be removed from the spawns entirely? Is that intended? Why?

Rats also no longer spawn it looks like

[graceful iron]

does the updates mention that? i still see them

[desert robin]

Nope, but the code change seems like it does

only the latest update

Stealth updates

nvm looks like he posted in announcements now.. Performance issues? Hmm never would have guessed..

[desert robin]

Welp, RIP Monster unstucker...

[willow hawk]

#📢announcements

Tushkanos are causing micro stutters when spawning

because spawns are heavy and tushkanos spawn in packs of 7 or 8

You can reenable them indeed

they are replaced by more interesting and dangerous mutants

[desert robin]

in my game they spawn in packs of 10-20 All good. They shit me anyway.

[topaz berry]

why i can zoom in and zoom out the eots 62 scope on the aug a3 but i cant zoom out on vss merc?

[graceful iron]

adjustable scopes, it does not work on all weapons

[topaz berry]

oh thats lame

[acoustic timber]

hi

is it possible to install EXPEDITION with GAMMA?

[lapis silo]

[north turret]

I'm wondering if there's a way to disable the "annoying" muting sound effect when getting hit sometimes? I understand the point but it just really kills it for me

[lapis silo]

No, you cannot combine 2 modpacks and Expedition will 100% not work with Gamma. I think it has a ReShade only option, which you can usem since it doesn't change any files besides the ReShade @acoustic timber

[grave plover]

if we disable tushkanos whats gonna happen with tasks to retrieve tushkano meat?

[lapis silo]

Sssshhhhhhhhhh Just let the Tushkanos go

[acoustic timber]

thank u very much, i dont seem to feel a difference with the GAMMA reshade

[craggy fable]

What happens to active quests for Tushkano meat? Will they get automatically failed?

[lapis silo]

Yeah, tbh Expedition is kinda crap anyway. The Gamma ReShade doesn't affect performance and is really nice I think

[acoustic timber]

hmm fair argument

does anyone else experience stutters in the game?

like it will freeze for a second then go as normal

ESPECIALLY IN DARKSCAPE

[lapis silo]

#old-framerate-optimisation, it really helps

[acoustic timber]

hmm

what is this disable core xero?

[lapis silo]

Core 0 is reserved for most Windows functions I think and turning it off for anomaly often improves performance and reduces stuttering

In some cases (like mine) quite considerably

[acoustic timber]

illgive it a go ty

[graceful iron]

anomaly uses a single core it seems, so giving it a core thats not being used by literally everything else on your pc probably helps

[deep moon]

So I've worked my way through most of the early game stumbling and figuring stuff out and had a question I had some trouble finding. So do disassembling tools all universally disassemble everything or do you need different ones? Like say do both grooming kits and multitools disassemble everything or different stuff? I've been trying to watch their durability when disassembling stuff but it seems like the multitool is prioritised for everything far as I can tell.

[willow hawk]

Nope, but you won't get new qusts related to them

just spawn some with debug and complete them

[craggy fable]

Yeah, I can't figure it out either. I just tend to have at least one piece of everything to disassemble things in the field.

[deep moon]

Yeah, part of the reason I was curious was if there's a way to designate something to be the disassemble tool first before others. It seems like grooming kits are the cheapest and most efficient thing to disassemble with, but the inventory prioritises using the multitool first which has other uses like repairing weapon parts. It's not a big deal and I'm just being min/maxy but it was something that crossed my mind my last couple of hours of playtime.

[graceful iron]

multitool can disassemble everything, other disassembly items only disassemble specific types of items but are not used first because they are used as crafting ingredients

multitool is much more durability efficient

[deep moon]

Ohhh okay so what's why the multitool gets prioritised first when I disassemble everything. Okay that makes sense now ty

Yeah I think you're right, it was just hard to notice because comparatively the grooming kit doesn't get to disassemble as often

[fleet grail]

those fricking ankle gnawing bastards can be deleted from the game permanently

[warped ginkgo]

expedition is a modpack, won't be compatible, but you can use the reshade from expedition if you want, it will look off but you can fix it by tweaking the reshade to your liking

[jagged lance]

they were

[fleet grail]

just woke up and havent checked the updates Grok pushed during my sleep

[molten tartan]

How do I know which gun does more damage? Example: Gun1 has damage 25 with ammo saying high flesh damage compared to gun2 with damage 35 and ammo saying medium flesh damage.

[tidal raft]

Depends almost entirely on the ammunition used. #│📚manual

[brisk thorn]

does anyone play warfare playthrough here?

[tidal raft]

An extremely small minority do. For good reason.

[brisk thorn]

i tried it and for convenience i deactivate groks economy and no bas trader

[north turret]

was there a mod that make you regen your health while standing near fireplace?

[brisk thorn]

so that i can buy guns and ammo just curious

it seems that i really want a challenging warfare but warfare alife overhaul is too easy and i just want to have amazing long firefights

even at rapid x5

just wanna know how do people play warfare

[tidal raft]

They often don't. Because GAMMA doesn't support Warfare.
Someone might answer that, but don't get your hopes up.

[flat folio]

Is GAMMA balanced around Medium/Scavenger or Hard/Survivalist?

[molten tartan]

there is an artefact that does this

[molten tartan]

There are a lot of settings that you can tweak and make it as challenging as you want.

[flat folio]

Of course there is,

But sometimes people balance things around the hardest options, giving two easier presets, or balance around the medium settings, giving a harder and easier preset.

Platinum Games, for example, are balanced around Platinum Standard, but usually have like, 4 or 5 harder presets.

[molten tartan]

I don't think it's too hard. The hardest part is the early game

[flat folio]

I'm not saying it's too hard, I just wonder whether Grok balances around Hard or Medium

[long grove]

mod 115 in MO2

[north turret]

thx

[long grove]

what is the scripting in stalker? LUA?

[tidal raft]

Yes.

[long grove]

ty!

[delicate sand]

So the crash after disabling cvfx still not fixed?

[molten tartan]

Does the exo suit boost button do anything? I just get a message "funtionality not founf"

[north turret]

does all places where radiation is comes from dynamic radiation?

[tidal raft]

The really high hotspots are, some weaker radiation which comes from wide areas are vanilla.

[tidal raft]

Only if the suit has an advanced PSU equipped. #│📚manual

[viral stone]

what would be a step up in difficulty? only played ecologists so far

faction wise

loners/duty/freedom?

[tidal raft]

The only change is which guys are going to shoot you on sight, your starting location, and possible storylines. You'll have to decide what you think is difficult to do.

[viral stone]

hmmm....

[wraith token]

Duty is easier than Loner, but harder than eco.

Freedom is hard for beginners but easy for people who know how to play.

[viral stone]

freedom it is then

[quick ravine]

is it possible to speed up the wait for the psy-helm from Sakharov with a script edit or something?

[wraith token]

How long does it take normally?

[quick ravine]

2 ingame days iirc

[wraith token]

[tidal raft]

Grok has been talking about making it instantaneous, but it hasn't happened yet.

[viral stone]

3 stacks of sleeping pills and a sleeping bag

should make you sleepy enough for 3 days?

[tidal raft]

Six nights.

Or three full days if you want to sleep for 72 hours.

[onyx peak]

i turend off npc loot claim but they still do it

[wise sparrow]

they'll do it if you try to loot a body they are currently looting. i've always played with it off and it can still happen.

[onyx peak]

ok thanks for explaining

[brisk zinc]

@wise sparrow @onyx peak that's because NPC Loot Claim it isn't about stopping them to do it

It's about "if you loot what they kill, they will get angry", there is the description as well

Without that mod, if they kill someone and you run for it before they can, they won't do anything

If you want a mod that prevents them from looting, grab the mod in #🖇old-mods-posting

[noble pier]

does the SHADER BASED 2D SCOPES mod compatible with gamma?

[tidal raft]

Read the modlist.txt #❗welcome before asking what is in the pack/what is compatible.

[sterile rapids]

Is it normal that companions tend to stack inside each other a.k.a walk around like Siamese twins?

[tidal raft]

Yep. Because companions are bad.

[sterile rapids]

This is just sad.

I'm thinking of ditching them just because of this. Muh immersunnnuhh

[tidal raft]

Then do it. I never play with companions willingly.

[tropic orbit]

Does the icon fix in #📢announcements finally allow below 50% textures

[tidal raft]

It should fix the mip-mapping issue, yes.

[tropic orbit]

I have no idea what that is but I assume it's related to the BaS icons

[hollow apex]

so what about those meat missions?

[tidal raft]

Should be an easy edit to remove tasks for both the meat and head samples.

[ancient ruin]

How do i know if i have a MO2 Global instance?

[tidal raft]

By the profile list:

If you know you have been modding other games using a global instance of MO2, you'll have more than one profile.

[ancient ruin]

i think its fine then

[tidal raft]

I don't see one named G.A.M.M.A though..

[willow hawk]

Yes

[willow hawk]

Its in Windows uninstall programs

[ancient ruin]

ok, its not in programs and features (windows) its in another modpack directory so i should be good

[tropic orbit]

Finally I can get more fps

[noble oar]

first time doing last dawn~ where is the scanner...?

[tidal raft]

What does the description say?

[noble oar]

just north west of clearsky base but I've looked all over there haha

[tidal raft]

Not enough apparently. Also you're currently not north-west of the base.
Go there and look around while holding down your Use-key.

[noble oar]

I wasnt north west because I was doing something else lol, and alright

[ember vortex]

do you have to find the same artifact again to repair it or is there another way to get to 100%

[tidal raft]

You need duplicates to Empower (repair) them.

[ember vortex]

damn 😦

going to be fun farming full empty's!

[tidal raft]

Yep, it takes a while.

[patent spindle]

hey

Can anyone tell me how to start the Duty expansion mod's quests

wanna play it but don't know how

[tidal raft]

Did you enable it in MO2?

[sterile cedar]

this is odd, for the last two or three updates no matter how many times i re-install the buff icons and choose the colored ones the game ends up showing me the black and white icons instead, am i missing something here?

[patent spindle]

yes, i did

[tidal raft]

Anna should be by the campfire near the Medic.

[patent spindle]

gonna find her after the emission has passed

thanks btw

[tidal raft]

[final yarrow]

Hello ! Anyone one know if it's possible to remove the dynamic radiation zone, but keep the overhauled effect ? And if not what mod should I remove the keep the vanilla radiation system ?

[dreamy storm]

Hello! It became too easy for me to play, please tell me how I can increase the HP of an NPC, especially the head (kill not with 1, but with 2 shots)? I mean a variable that would be responsible for the health of the head of the NPC (I'm sorry, I'm writing through a translator).

[tidal raft]

Use worse ammo.

[dreamy storm]

This is not an option to force yourself, besides, they kill the barrel in a couple of shots. At least a hint in which file these variables are in will do for me, and then I will do it myself.

[tidal raft]

Probably this:

[wraith token]

Would turning down player bullet damage in the base anomaly settings have any effect or does gboobs override that too?

[tidal raft]

Overridden.

Most Anomaly settings—that have an alternative add-on from the pack—are overridden by other add-ons.

[dreamy storm]

I found in the file grok_bo_bone_profile.ltx [stalker_bandit_1]
bone_profile = body_damage_0011
head_profile = head_damage_00
hit_fraction_npc = 0.9
ap_scale = 0.9

head_damage_00 does this mean that the bandit will die with 1 hit to the head?

[tidal raft]

Don't know.

[wise sparrow]

probably being overwritten by gamma minimalist hud. you can manually delete any conflicting files by using MO2

[ancient ruin]

is the ash12 reloading animation scuffed for everyone?

[brisk zinc]

Known issue @tidal raft @graceful iron right?

[graceful iron]

falco already told you, its a known issue so no need to post it again

[graceful iron]

the edit ping didnt work, at least for me

[brisk zinc]

Good to know, my experiment is a success

[tribal plover]

Can i install magazines mid playthrough? 🤔

[graceful iron]

yes, just tick it in the optional addons

but you wont be able to remove it mid-playthrough

[tribal plover]

Got it, thanks

[willow hawk]

Its in the middle of the ground east of the Anomaly area

[noble oar]

yeah it took me a good while of anomalies eating my legs but i found it

[willow hawk]

It will be reworked at some point. But animations are really long to make

Like 20+ hours for a set or something

And we only have one animator doing it

[ancient ruin]

i know

[crystal pine]

Been testing it from yesterday, problem is there is just no music in my game

[acoustic timber]

yeah tyvm, it drastically improved performance and removed stutters ty

[brisk zinc]

In settings there's something like "dynamic music", try to turn on that one

[long grove]

is it normal for skyboxes to clip through trees like this? I've noticed it a lot, especially with emission skies.

[north turret]

Exactly how modular is Gamma? Like if I want to completely remove BaS would it be easy to also find and remove all it's accessory add-ons and patches?

[onyx peak]

i picked up a sparkler and its not in my inventory

it's radiation is killing me halp

[tidal raft]

Empty your backpack into a stash.

[onyx peak]

ok

[long grove]

ahh, that's how you "fix" that. good to know, was relying on older saves

[graceful iron]

modular does not mean you can just rip off an important part of the pack without having to remove quite a few patches and addons that depend on the addon you are trying to disable, if you want to remove or add something thats not already in gamma you can ask but dont expect to be able to make gamma into something else without proper patching

there are quite a few addons that can be removed or added at this very moment and some of them are already in the optional/ good addons with bugs separators

[north turret]

My playstyle preferences are a bit odd, so I don't expect Gamma to cater to my exact needs and whims, I was mainly interested in the automated update feature and presorted load order, which those 2 things alone would be a giant timesaver for me.

I was just wondering if something like removing a big addon like that with it's associated patches would be more trouble than it's worth

[graceful iron]

is there a specific addon you are trying to remove? bas is definitely going to be time consuming but if its something else you could ask

[craggy fable]

Can someone explain where is this stash? It's not underneath the train, I can't get inside the train or on top of it, and I don't think it's on the hill above this room either.

Nevermind, found it. It's on top of the train, you have to jump off the ramp on the left.

[sly reef]

Hey ! Recently installed GAMMA and i'm having a blast ! Everything is working damn fine, but i noticed that my NVG's don't work ? I hear the sound when pressing ' M ', but nothing's happening. Tried to look it up to no avail. Someone knows about this specific problem ?

[delicate wharf]

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma for keybinds

hold n to activate nvg

tapping n cycles brightness

M is if you have an nvg scope on your gun I believe

[sly reef]

ah what the hell, thanks man !

that's damn neat

[delicate wharf]

[graceful iron]

its on top of the train, you can get up on it using the platform to the left on your screenshot

on the railing and then on the train

the stash is a part of the train so keep looking over it till you see the prompt to open a stash

[craggy fable]

Yeah, I got it. Thanks!

[long grove]

tried this for the "flash" artifact. Didn't work. this particular arti always seems to reproduce the problem.

[onyx peak]

same for me

[long grove]

were you able to load an older save before you picked it up?

[onyx peak]

no as i realised that only after picking up cruches pda i just spawned in an anti rad things to live

[vapid dirge]

Are skyboxes supposed to be pixelated (psy/emissions)? I dont remember them being like that in CoP

[real chasm]

the dirt/dust on the masks is an interesting idea but there's reshade settings now that could definitely do what they are going for better

I like playing with the mask overlays on too, but there's a few where the added effects get in the way and make seeing a lot harder than it needs to be

almost positive there's a lens dirt setting for reshade somewhere out there. would likely work a lot better

just personally lack the skills or knowledge to edit the overlays without completely ruining them

[craggy fable]

Is the iron door underneath the Iron Forest supposed to be open? The one that leads straight to the Item 52 and allows skipping through the entire dungeon.

Because it is open.

And you can skip the entire dungeon 🙂

[graceful iron]

there is nothing to be skipped in the zaton iron forest tho, maybe a poltergiest or 2

[wise sparrow]

that door is open in vanilla anomaly as well

[tidal portal]

yeah on the one hand you skip the dungeon
on the otherhand the dungeon has, as cat said, like...two poltergeists at the front

and then it's just empty

[onyx peak]

Will this work on linux(ubuntu)

[willow hawk]

Just don't use bas guns ?

Bas is deeply rooted within the pack

[willow hawk]

Automatic updater only works for the add-ons of the pack and it will scramble your load order everytime

[willow hawk]

Some are yes, compression artefacts

[magic reef]

Is it intended that even stashes contain weapons in bad condition. I find only worthless stuff. But i am also in the early hours

[graceful iron]

you have to repair, you cant bypass that mechanic even with guns looted from stashes

[magic reef]

Ok thanks. I thought my game was bugged :)

[magic reef]

Do you also get dips in the 30- 40 fps at some places? I.e garbage rain nightime at cordon intersection?

[graceful iron]

i get dips in dark valley bandit base, i assume its because of the large number of stalkers there

if you havent yet, try the #old-framerate-optimisation core 0

also rain by default reduces fps
