[serene cedar]

I don't want to mess anything up as I know you have finely tuned GAMMA.

[willow hawk]

I will check it out 😉

[graceful iron]

i remember using the default JSRS on a really old laptop with a very slow CPU, it ran just fine

[serene cedar]

Excellent, thanks.

[graceful iron]

it could be RAM intensive instead ?

[serene cedar]

Once the sounds load into memory, then it's much better. But for the first 10 to 15 minutes as things start happening around the zone, the sound layers freeze me up until it's loaded. I'm using 16gig RAM. That's my laptop's max.

[graceful iron]

oh

[magic reef]

right, i try my best. thanks

[willow hawk]

Use Prefetch Sounds in the launcher

[serene cedar]

Is thatthe 'Soundifx Issue' checkbox?

[willow hawk]

No it's the prefect sounds one

[serene cedar]

Ah, I see. Ok I will. Thanks.

[ornate salmon]

quieter rain compatible with gamma?

[warped bane]

Is it intended for grass shadows to not work?

[zenith magnet]

@warped bane did you activate them in the graphic settings?

[warped bane]

Yep

[zenith magnet]

Then i dont know sorry

But you might wanna ask in #old-bugs

[warped bane]

Probably, but maybe grok hates shadows

[zenith magnet]

The sworn enemy

On an unreleated note, i have a couple of questions:

1. Is there any way to remove nvgs' depth of field?
2. Are technicians supposed to sell armor parts on higher levels? kinda like traders?

[calm tangle]

Yes they are

[graceful iron]

2. currently no

[daring kayak]

is there any hotkey to unjam your weapon quickly or options to turn off jamming where you should unjam it though your inventory? Here is my weapon, unjam button which i talk about and WPO settings

[graceful iron]

check the game keybinds and #│💻keybinds-in-gamma , unjam is z by default

[zenith magnet]

what about turning off nvgs' depth of field?

[daring kayak]

thanks @graceful iron Apparently I missed this keybind while changing settings

[graceful iron]

nvgs have depth of field ? if its a new visual effect then it could be beef's nvgs, did you check the mcm for that ?

[zenith magnet]

yeah but found nothing that resembled DOF

basically it blurs everything close to the character

[craggy fable]

Which NVGs have that?

I have Mk3 and it doesn't have it.

Or at least I don't see it.

Could you post a screen?

[zenith magnet]

the single tube

as soon as i finish dinner i'll post a screenshoy

[graceful iron]

nvgs are supposed to be bad and blurry, especially the tier 1 and 2

with beef's nvgs at least

try deleting shaders_cache folder in anomaly/appdata if you think something could be unintended with how the nvgs look

[wise sparrow]

it blurs the hud models on purpose as that's how nvgs look IRL it's a realism thing

[zenith magnet]

it blurs whatever i'm holding and everything in a roughly 1,5/2 meters radius

[craggy fable]

First one is intended. Second one probably less so.

[ruby rune]

Which artifacts are there that increase your speed?

[zenith magnet]

i can understand the rifle being blurred, but i would like know where i'm stepping

[lapis silo]

It's intended and the mod author won't change it

I mean look at the preview picture on moddb

[zenith magnet]

this image says more then a thousand words

[graceful iron]

generator can increase speed if you stack it, not sure what other artefacts do that

[ruby rune]

Ah, generator

I still know that lucifer also does that, including good extras

Thanks, wantet to know that for a build

....a new one

Hope i can get it right

[ocean grotto]

how do I go about getting this one?

[graceful iron]

you can climb to the roof

[ocean grotto]

ahh okay!

[graceful iron]

there is some wooden scaffolding outside that you can get to by using the platforms on the inside

the scaffolding

[ocean grotto]

yeah I saw them after you told me lol

tried jumping but my companion didn't like that and pushed me off

[craggy fable]

Can you farm UNISIG weapons anywhere in the game? I am looking for the Kalashnikov Shotgun by Rifle Dynamics. I found one Rifle Dynamics gun on Monolit before, but that's it.

[graceful iron]

i think they start appearing after you reach operation afterglow storyline, sometimes zcp spawns a squad but they are very rare

[thorny hazel]

as others said, it is intended. If you still want to remove it go to GAMMA RC3\mods\189- Beef's NVG - theRealBeef\gamedata\shaders\r3 and remove pp_blur.ps or change the file extension

[south dirge]

I always used the crane to get there, the time wasted...

[zenith magnet]

nah i'll keep it like this, for muh immursion

[thorny hazel]

looks like this with and without it

[zenith magnet]

thanks

[graceful iron]

windows you can go through at the white "circle"

[wise sparrow]

all of my rare/isg weapons i've found in stashes have been in army warehouses. you can also spawn a unisg squad by taking a lost signal task for ecologist in jupiter as that can spawn a squad on 4 ecologist corpses.

[willow hawk]

If you want good gear farm Limansk + hospital

[calm tangle]

I find doing story gets you real good stuff

Actually to rephrase that, I find doing story late game, gets you good shit.

Since you kill most monolith, it will force the game to spawn new dudes, mostly consisting of high ranks in my experience.

everytime i’ve raided Brainscorcher, i’ve gotten an AK Alfa, some ISG weapons, and usually two different snipers.

[magic steppe]

Anyone help me out? Tried the troubleshooting fixes but just keep crashing on startup after installing the gamma mod pack

[bright seal]

Does the Volat Emerald durability wear down with use since its not in a container?

[obtuse orbit]

Do suppressors have any negative effects in this modpack

Besides weight

[wraith token]

Damages the barrel quicker

[obtuse orbit]

Oh interesting thanks

[wraith token]

It's nothing crazy once you've got a few upgrades on reliability

[charred dawn]

my dudes, im trying to disable forced campfire saving, but disabling YACS in the modlist crashes anomaly when starting a new game

anything else tied to it that the game is referencing that i can cut?

nevermind! i just searched for campfire n some other guy had the same thing n was told to also disable GAMMA YACS no quit, problem solved itself

[near vault]

does the mutil fuel stovve just have infinite uses?

[echo elk]

Oh hey, you're the funny art dude I've followed ages ago, nice to see you around here too!

[charred dawn]

nah man, im his twin brother

[echo elk]

[cedar glen]

Is this where I can ask anything about the game and get an answer?

[tidal raft]

Not everything about the game (Anomaly), but almost anything about the modpack.

This is the right channel for that, yes.

[cedar glen]

Cool, I was trying in general and got no answers

[cedar glen]

So does anyone know where I can find configs of all options and Mod Configuration Menu?

[tidal raft]

Type "MCM" in the MO2 search bar, and explore the file location.

[cedar glen]

thanks, I found Falco's solution in pinned messages on this channel

[wraith knoll]

is there way to save in game settings and enabled mods? So they won't reset after every update?

[pseudo harness]

Is artifact condition "randomised" when I take it off LLMC or other container?

[cedar glen]

@wraith knoll

[brisk zinc]

[brisk zinc]

You're asking it before trying or...

[pseudo harness]

since I tried it, I had to ask if that is right default setting by the mod?

[brisk zinc]

No it's a bug (I think it was obvious it's a bug)

[pseudo harness]

I rather asked here before posting it to bugs channel, so, sorry for bothering and thanks for answer 🙂

[brisk zinc]

No bother at all, it's all good when someone report a bug

[brisk zinc]

@tidal raft since my man @graceful iron is probably sleeping

I thought this thing was fixed?

[brisk zinc]

@willow hawk since it's your stuff (and I already know the answer like "don't use that container"), check it out

[pseudo harness]

I haven't updated my modpack for like a week, so if it was fixed during that time and its my problem, I'm really sorry 😄

[brisk zinc]

I'm pretty sure it's something old because it's a known issue

You can always try to update if you want

[tidal raft]

Should be. Updating should resolve it.

[willow hawk]

can happen when stuff starts to break

open container, problem fixed

[brisk zinc]

"stuff starts to break" you mean scripts?

[dire garnet]

I have a question, what is the best channel if I want to ask for an opinion regarding something I made (HUD specifically) ? Just so I would know if it's worth posting

[pseudo harness]

after updating Meat Chunk which had 100% in LLMC before update now has 15% inside LLMC and after taking it of LLMC it has 14% condition, so I guess it is fixed

[tidal raft]

[desert robin]

If it's something youre making/editing then it's modding and probably #╙🖇mods-making-discussion

[dire garnet]

Yeah, I thought so as well, just wanted to make sure, I'll post it there then

[obtuse orbit]

How can I repair this, do I need heavy armor kits and replacements for the red parts?

[slow fox]

Yes replacement parts and heavy armor repair kit

[obtuse orbit]

Can I repair the orange ones?

[slow fox]

Only if they are over 50 health

[obtuse orbit]

😔 Thanks

Kinda sucks that it might as well be 0 condition since all the orange ones are below 50

[slow fox]

You dont need to replace all, just replace some to get it to 65% abd then use the advanced sewing kit or whatever

[obtuse orbit]

Oh I see, nice

[obtuse lava]

hey guys, there are GAMMA fixes that are disabled by default: Alife fixes and FDDA Rework.
Any info on these?

[tidal raft]

They should remain disabled, just as default suggests.

[obtuse lava]

alrighty, thank you

[tidal raft]

[obtuse orbit]

Is the merc camp in wild territory just like permanently irradiated

The one beside the construction site

[craggy fable]

Dynamic Radiation strikes again!

Great mod, but tends to fuck things up in "interesting" ways at times.

[obtuse orbit]

I'm not even sure its dynamic which is why I'm asking

It's been like that the entire time I've been playing

[craggy fable]

Huh. My rad protection was off the charts when I went through that camp.

So I don't know.

But I don't think it should he like that.

WT is the starting location for mercs, right?

[obtuse orbit]

One of them

But it's the construction site, not the camp

It's just weird that a populated location with an emission shelter point is basically uninhabitable

[craggy fable]

I'll check if it is like that in my game. If I remember, lol.

[real chasm]

it's like that in mine. made the very start of this merc playthrough 'interesting'

[slow fox]

I had some nasty dynamic anomalies in the sin base in red forest. Could literally not go in

[rocky bone]

where can I find a suppressor for the austrian fal after upgrading with a tac kit? I have checked multiple nato traders with max rep

[desert robin]

How do you shut down the miracle machine?

Im in here and going through the spiral tower thing but it seems like dead ends

I found a locked door at the top...

nvm worked it out

[delicate wharf]

hit the levers

one each level

[tidal raft]

You must be new to the series.

[desert robin]

Its been a veeeeeeeeeery long time

So yeah i may as well be lol

[tidal raft]

Fair enough.

[slow fox]

I haven’t been down there for many years either

[tidal raft]

But yeah, you need to hit levers on the way up.

[desert robin]

im kind of surprised how anti-climactic disabling MM is.. Like there's no faction relation change or anything..

yeah you're welcome ecologists, for murdering myself and for zero recognition

[vapid dirge]

its just a big boi brain

[wise sparrow]

should be on the nato traders you just may need to wait for them to restock. you can also get it from nimble in zaton if you can access that far north.

[rocky bone]

thanks

[calm tangle]

the sounds it makes after pulling a lever in the miracle machine are fcking terrifying.

[graceful iron]

"desman's horror overhaul" thats the point

[true wraith]

Whats the point of the Moss Artefact's perk? Some of the benefits from using it, like invis until attack, are nice, but generally doesn't seem worth having to pop anti rads every single time I want to use it since eating raw meat ruins you with rads.

[graceful iron]

not all perk based artefacts are good or useful, and some of them are very specific in what they do

[soft leaf]

that's the point

[graceful iron]

exactly

[true wraith]

I suppose

[soft leaf]

pop anti rads, eat spicy meat

go ham

[true wraith]

It just seems a little underwhelming even compared to some of the other low tier perks

And the "go ham" isn't a thing either I really feel

As a one minute window goes by surprisingly fast

[soft leaf]

have a few kilos of tushkano meat in your pack

oh wait

[true wraith]

Genuinely speaking, I think upping it to maybe even a minute thirty might not be bad

yea

And eat 30 anti rads?

Thats the issue I see.

[soft leaf]

run an atom alongside moss?

[true wraith]

To re-up the effects, its just not worth doing in the first place

ehhh

looking at a 1000+ rad spike at times

or 3000

dog meat is about 1k

psydog is like, 300, for some reason

but anything bigger looks like around 3k rads

instantly

[graceful iron]

a full rads bar?

[true wraith]

one mo

this may need more testing...

alright, thats misleading looks like

[graceful iron]

try putting your suggestion in #old-feedback-suggestions and maybe suggest the changes to the mod author ?

[true wraith]

appears you take 1/3 supposed rad hit

from what it says it does

regardless if moss is on or off

[graceful iron]

you take less rads than the description of the artefact explains ?

[true wraith]

flesh says 3000 rads about, take 1200

nah

raw meat says

moss doesn't touch rads at all

except as a bonus effect from the meat

[graceful iron]

oh... maybe grok changed the rads from raw meats

[true wraith]

but yes, on terms of full bar

1.2k is more than a full rad bar on the hud

[wise sparrow]

yeah rads on raw meat but bumped way up a while back

[true wraith]

One flesh raw meat does this. About 1.2K rads, energy is from something else.

Thats 100% fatal without meds

In return for eating it with moss

1% health restoration, and do 33% less damage with bullets (I think its my damage towards enemies down)

for one minute

[slow fox]

Artefacts that give carry weight give max stat even with low hp?

Or is it reduced

[graceful iron]

they dont lose carry weight bonus with low condition, grok said he probably wont fix this

[slow fox]

But still need box with the appropriate rad protection as if its maxed right? Even if it doenst have a lot of health

[graceful iron]

if its so low it gives1-3 msv then you can just use a belt attachment device to remove 1msv and that works, you wont take damage from the rads it gives

but yes if its more than that then you will need the appropriate container

that part might be fixed

[slow fox]

I just have one slot

[graceful iron]

make sure to min/max the carry weight then

[calm tangle]

The healing should outdo the damage the flesh meat does.

but I do agree, I think that artifact should be slightly changed.

The bonuses are really useful, but to have to take that much damage, and then recover from it, can make it intimidating to use.

[true wraith]

My biggest problem is that the cost in meds you need to survive for using the moss, you could generally achieve the same result, or better, by purchasing better meds. Except like, the invisibility. I already dropped a comment in feedback, hopefully it gets looked at again and made worthwhile.

[jagged ingot]

Heavy Pockets achievment = 2000 godwill with all traders like in vanilla?

[graceful iron]

no, it unlocks all they have but wont raise your goodwill with them

[daring hull]

how do u activate night vision with the “headlamp w/ 1pn93-1 nightvision”?

when I click L it just turns a normal light on

[serene cedar]

The default for nightvision is 'N' as I recall.

[daring hull]

yeah nothing happens when I click that

😦

[graceful iron]

long press n

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[daring hull]

yes sir thank u

[jagged ingot]

if i already have 2000 goodwill with mercs for example, heavy pockets will do nothing with their trader?

[vestal yacht]

I have a problem with finding mission artefact in Hell Walls anomaly (Finding artefacts in army warehauses) is there any way top despawn it or something?

[graceful iron]

go further south from that anomaly, its in a different house

one of these houses

[graceful iron]

it wont affect a trader if you already have 2000 goodwill with their faction

[jagged ingot]

ok thanx, no need to grind it in my situation

[vestal yacht]

Yup find it thank you 🙂

[willow hawk]

Don't eat raw meat ?

[willow hawk]

Yup

[true wraith]

The tooltip for Moss says that it ONLY works with raw meat. Does it actually work with the cooked versions as well?

[willow hawk]

I was sure someone would pick that up

It's not because an artefact does something that it's useful

I guess I should change it to cooked meat but I don't have time for this shit

[true wraith]

So does it work with the cooked versions of the meat or no?

[graceful iron]

no

[true wraith]

Grok is confusing me

specifically on the someone would pick that up part

and what he means by it

Oh well, the lord hath spoken. Moss is bad.

[graceful iron]

exactly what i said, not all perk based artefacts are good or useful

[true wraith]

One can hope

In any case, there goes the entire debate I had with someone in feedback

[graceful iron]

maybe try suggesting a change to the mod author instead

[true wraith]

Eh. Its more a whine on my part than a every artifact must be useful thing.

I'll not be too upset either way

[graceful iron]

btw the moss is used to fuse so many really powerful artefacts, you should use it for that instead

its a base building brick for full empties and volat emeralds

[true wraith]

is there a more easily read list for the artefacts and their fusions than trying to semi-awkwardly read the crafting menu?

[graceful iron]

not really, the crafting menu is good enough for the most part

[true wraith]

damn

[graceful iron]

and you can now fuse artefacts while they are in a container

[willow hawk]

Just gotta learn them like Pokemons

[true wraith]

On that note, do I get the empty container back?

[willow hawk]

No

[true wraith]

sad

[willow hawk]

[true wraith]

the price we pay for clean bodies

[willow hawk]

Current issue

But I can hardly fix it....

[true wraith]

also, does combining low condition artefacts give you a low condition output?

[willow hawk]

Well there might be one way

[graceful iron]

fusing artefacts gives a randomized condition one

[willow hawk]

At some point I'm delving so much into nitpicking stuff I'm turning that to AAA level of stability what the heck

I'm not paid for this

[true wraith]

good to know. Won't waste high condition artifacts then

[willow hawk]

So I need to change craft code so that if a used item contain as a string 'lead_box' it returns a lead box unless the item section is actually just a lead box

Let's go....

[tame halo]

Whats doing this? At night brightness suddenly switches depending on camera position (or some object appearing in sight?) Mostly noticed at csky base.

Its not reshade, maybe tonemap addon?

[graceful iron]

no, its from base anomaly i believe and its certain spots on some maps

[serene cedar]

The Ecologist mechanic/technician is missing. I checked the search for previous issues but there are no solutions I could find. I probably changed the Anomaly population settings, but I did not touch ZCP since I have no idea how to control that mod.

What are the GAMMA default pop settings (non ZCP)? I will revert back to those. I believe I increased Stalkers to 1.0 before starting new game.

[jagged lance]

Do I need to finish the living legend on the same character before I can do mortal sin or does mortal sin unlock for all playthroughs after doing living legend on 1

finishing living legend took long enough on this character and i cbf doing another questline on the same one

[serene cedar]

They progess in order, so you will need to finish story line 1, then progress to story line 2, then 3. It's not an unlock style.

[jagged lance]

fuuuck

[serene cedar]

YOu want to change your faction?

Or, just bypass that quest because you are tired of it?

[jagged lance]

yeah but i just wanna restart entirely

i gave up halfway through the cnpp raid and used godmode because i got tired of it lol

[serene cedar]

Ahh. Then you would be all the way back to square 1.

What made you give up? Was it because running out of ammo or something like that?

[jagged lance]

that and the 500 monolith behind every corner lol

even with the svds with AP ammo its just a slog

but anyway i think ill just take a break from stalker for a while

also hip kept walking in front of my scope so i ended up killing her halfway through too lmao

[slow fox]

The merc Ace suit has the name Ace right?

Like, Merc SEVA is a different suit

[serene cedar]

One reason so many appear is due to Stealth mod. The vanilla enemies didn't call all of their friends, but on the other hand they could see you from a long way away, there was no way to sneak. I wonder if disabling STealth mod for the CNPP raid would make it more bearable for you?

I don't know about the changed armors. I'm only on game day 5 or so and have not seen many mid or upper tier armors.

[slow fox]

Is there a way to farm merc in dead city without the whole delegation from the base?

[desert robin]

What NPC's can you buy stashes from? I know Sid and Aslan, are there others?

[jagged lance]

think its every "trader" thats marked on the pda

[ornate salmon]

anybody know what trader sells 338 federal? if theres any

im assuming it would be the trader of a nato faction

[fringe coral]

is it enough to enable trader destockifier in MO2 or do i need to set it up in MCM as well?

[slow fox]

Is this a thing? Ive never seen it

[graceful iron]

only sid and spore

[graceful iron]

you can enable it and leave it at defaults or tweak it in the mcm to your liking

[graceful iron]

NATO, not sure what level but its either 4 or 5

[graceful iron]

you can pay 6k to get a stash location from either sid or spore (loner and clear sky traders)

[ornate salmon]

good thing duty got allied with mercs so now i can go to them for buying nato stuff (my entire loadout is kinda mixed between nato and warsaw)

im just gonna need to raise the supply level

also, can i remove certain parts of an armor suit without disassembling the entire thing?

[graceful iron]

no, you cant take the parts from a suit without disassembling it

[ornate salmon]

alright

thanks

[fleet cedar]

Does the laser modules on certain guns have IR Laser that can be used with NVG ? Or are we stuck with green blobs ?

[slow fox]

is there a recommended amount of patches to be given to Aslan for the lottery? or is the general rule of thumb to just give him 50 patches (the max)?

[graceful iron]

the max is 30

[slow fox]

oh ok

[graceful iron]

30 is generally better in terms of loot

[slow fox]

the note in pda says 50 :x

ok so 30 it is then

[graceful iron]

thats the vanilla system, the gamma one got revamped twice (one is a lottery mod and the second is grok changing the loot table)

[slow fox]

time to get paid then, i got 44 duty patches

got some koloboks and an mp7

[fleet cedar]

also is there a way to turn off Night Vision in the Binoculars after upgrading ?

[sterile rapids]

traders supposed to sell armour?

[serene cedar]

Did you enable Trader Overhaul?

[sterile rapids]

Nope, thats why im like wtf

[serene cedar]

So weird. Make sure your boxes are checked for GAMMA economy or whatever they are called.

[sterile rapids]

Its all ticked, I haven't had this before. Pretty sure I have the trader on lvl 3 for a while and he has not sold armour

[tidal raft]

Exit out of the dialogue and open the trading window again. You are viewing his 'personal inventory' instead of the trading dialogue.

[sterile rapids]

Thats fixed it.

How did I manage to view his inventory?

[serene cedar]

That was pretty weird, hehe.

[tidal raft]

It can happen if you almost frame-perfectly press Shift when opening the initial dialogue.

[sterile rapids]

Wow, I've done something perfectly? Go me!

[jagged lance]

were you trying to sprint while talking to him? lol

[sterile rapids]

That is possible, but sprint is on X

[jagged lance]

so you were trying to walk slowly

and talk to him

smh

[serene cedar]

Has anyone had their 'F' interact key not seem to work from time to time? Like, looting a body?

[desert robin]

Are PDA's supposed to be 500 each to decrypt? Pretty sure it only charges 500 for a bunch of them, not each.

[tidal raft]

500 RU for each encrypted PDA. If you have multiples it will decrypt for #*500 RU.

[sterile rapids]

Where can I get Aluminized layers, this seems impossible to find

Been looking for days to fix a damn gas mask

[jagged lance]

other gas masks

[sterile rapids]

Wow, that actually makes total sense.

[jagged lance]

glad to be of service sir

[pseudo harness]

check dropped armors and other gas masks, you can disassemble them for parts that you can need for repairs

[jagged lance]

gas mask drops are pretty rare though tbf

[sterile rapids]

Thats my problem it seems, I'm clear sky so I guess I dont kill a lot of higher end npcs currently.

Wish we could switch to Loner

[graceful iron]

you could tho

[jagged lance]

Can switch at sidorivichvhceivichcvhvcviisisiidivhcovirchsesich.

i think

[graceful iron]

yes

[sterile rapids]

I have not seen the option before

locked behind rep?

[graceful iron]

nope, just talk to the faction's leader

[sterile rapids]

I'll have another look I suppose.

[molten tartan]

Regarding the quest line "Last Dawn": After meeting Scar I'm supposed to find a missing squad in Pripyat with a CS stalker. I found the location and a CS stalker called "Gamajun" but the only dialog option I have is "Bye". Do I need to do something first?

[graceful iron]

kill the monolith squad, i think its supposed to be north of that location

[pseudo harness]

check where my mouse is on PDA, there are Monolith fighters which you have to kill in order to progress 🙂

[nocturne halo]

Using mags redux, double tapping R drops the mag, but i can't figure out how to turn it off as it's sometimes activating on a single Tap (instead of double) and failing to reload the gun.

[serene cedar]

I presume Activated Carbon cloth is also only from helmets too then. I have zero and have seen zero...

[jagged lance]

well idk why you'd put activated carbon in your clothes

unless you breathe through your skin

[runic plume]

ok how the fuck do you guys deal with poltergeists in the labs

the non stop throw shit at me which 2 shots me

[sterile rapids]

Throw shit back at them

[runic plume]

hilarious

[jagged lance]

dont run

walk

if you talk to butcher in the garbage he gives good tips

[serene cedar]

Do bandanas have this in them? I've been ignoring them so far.

[jagged lance]

i think bandanas would just be durable textiles and maybe military textiles

[serene cedar]

Right, that's waht I thought. Thanks.

[jagged lance]

might be better off trying to find the other components for the mask then repairing it using repair kits to 100%

assuming the other components get it to over 65%

[graceful iron]

walking slowly or crouching hides you from them

they only sense movement

[grave canopy]

technician and cook at yantar are both gone

[acoustic timber]

how do i use multitool to repair gun parts?

is says I can use multitool for some gun parts or the part repair kit

but when i use multitool the parts dont show up

[tropic orbit]

Is it me or is the HK417 new

I've never seen this before even on my vanilla anomaly or bas anomaly runs

Doesn't even show on debug so I'm wondering if its the only new gun that was added

[graceful iron]

its only used for trigger parts and only when outside of the gun, also the parts have to be in 60%+ condition

[acoustic timber]

alright ty

[north turret]

practically the clear sky is at war with the freedoms, is there a way to not get attacked by Yar? I like him

[tribal plover]

Try changing his faction via debug mode. Not sure if it would work though.

@north turret

[graceful iron]

just dont kill him

[north turret]

is it possible to change the faction of the npc with the debug mode?

[tribal plover]

I mean, yeah, not sure if it would reset his hostility though.

[north turret]

it worked

[tribal plover]

👍

[serene cedar]

For the artifacts quest, one is to find a piece in the Bog Pounder. Unfortunately, it is directly in the middle of a pounder and shooting it doesn't make it move. Bolts don't seem to deactivate these anomalies. Any suggestions?

[brisk zinc]

Throw a grenade at it

[willow hawk]

Ah. Issues with dynamic anomalies. Sleep, throw a grenade or use numpad 0

[brisk zinc]

Or debug mode > god mode > grab and take it

[willow hawk]

Fly to it and loot it

[brisk zinc]

Numpad 0 works without debug mode?

[willow hawk]

I don't know

[graceful iron]

that one always spawned in an anomaly, its pretty easy to get if you jump through the anomaly while holding f

sometimes a little of leg damage tho... sometimes

[serene cedar]

You mean that if I'm airborne it won't crack my skull open? So, I can run and do a jump-grab?

[graceful iron]

it wont instantly kill you, might damage your legs depending on the type of the anomaly (i cant remember that specific type)

[serene cedar]

As I remember, Bog Pounder is a static anomaly, isn't it?

[graceful iron]

it is, but i think he means just moving anomalies inside the anomaly field

[serene cedar]

Worth a try. Thanks.

[serene cedar]

Ok. I didn't know that the static ones had dynamic positions within the area. Thanks.

[graceful iron]

i dont think all of them move, if even any but there are dynamic ones inside static fields

[tribal plover]

Does ISG spawn only when you reach thier questline? If not - where are they usually hiding?

[graceful iron]

random squads can spawn thanks to zcp but very rare and not in a specific spot

until you reach the questline, they start spawning more then

[willow hawk]

nope they spawn randomly

[serene cedar]

Both of them are gone? Wow, I thought just missing 1 of them was hard. Sheesh. Maybe try going back after a day or so, idk.

[willow hawk]

in GAMMA Lore they are part of the effort to improve research teams security between CoP and 2018

This I plan to improve a little bit through a dialogue with Sakharov i'll implement

[echo elk]

For some reason all sidequests that I have are missing markers on my PDA.

[tribal plover]

Tap "secondary tasks"

[echo elk]

there's a few targets in the contruction site on wild territory (defend rost--)

I'm dumb, thanks

[half tendon]

if I do a Sidorovich quest about killing a "free stalker" being a loner i would have bad reputation?

[graceful iron]

yes

[strong wraith]

Yo.. stupid q probably but, how do I combine artefacts to raise their shit quality? Does that require the artefact smelter from Sakharov? Because I'm not sure if that's what's meant by "empowerment" of them

[ornate salmon]

artefact smelter yes

it will give instructions in the description of it

buy it from prof

[strong wraith]

ah alright thanks!

[ornate salmon]

its an usable item, so you dont need to give it to a technician for example

just use it from your inventory

[tender tusk]

How to fix the loading times bug?
Just an hour ago loading a game took a minute at maximum. Now it slowed down to taking 6 minutes and the level transitions are slowed down even more.

[willow hawk]

Exit game, Boot it, start a new game then load your existing save

Xray fucking itself up

[ornate salmon]

top 10 worst questions asked by man: since im demented and forgot, does ironman save upon exiting the game?

[wraith token]

No

[ornate salmon]

any other way around it?

or are there quicksaves

like when entering a new area

im just tryna not lose my entire game when quitting the game

(and come back to it)

[sterile rapids]

Doesnt seem like I can switch to Loners

[graceful iron]

now that i think about it i have not seen the option last time i was there as a clear sky either

[sterile rapids]

That sucks, dont really want to debug menu myself though.

[wraith token]

Maybe try cutter(might be wrong name) the free stalker at the lumber mill in darkscape

[graceful iron]

wat

[cedar glen]

Is it possible to have stashes like in Call of Pripyat's Gunslinger? It changes balance and all but I really liked that you can actually find stuff in place of stashes without having information about it

[tender tusk]

When is it supposed to speed up? I quit the game, made a new one and then loaded the old one and now quick saving takes 2 minutes

[wraith token]

lumber mill has a couple important free stalker characters

I never wanted to become a loner so IDK. just figured i'd throw out an idea

[graceful iron]

you can still find items in stashes, but usually minimal items like glues or medical items

but to get the vanilla stashes back you have to disable stash overhaul and probably a few other patches, but good luck progressing the pack like that

[willow hawk]

Did you try rebooting the PC ?

Sometimes it can help

also, delete shaders_cache folder

[tender tusk]

Yeah, I will try to do it again

[willow hawk]

I had the issue once, did that, and it was working fine again

[tender tusk]

It is still slow, even tried loading old saves and turning off the PC for a minute

[cedar glen]

In Gunslinger items were just laying in random spots, they weren't limited to being inside a stash container. It caused few problems like not being able to collect every item in a marked stash because few items were unreachable or finding L85A2's with ammunition under many trees which made the game easier.

[tender tusk]

Is there a way to set launch parameters? I tried restarting my PC twice, starting a new game and deleting the shders_cache folder and nothing has changed

[fringe coral]

Why am taking slight amount of rads when around some campfires in swamp?

[willow hawk]

There's also that in GAMMA. I just tuned it down by a lot. And I think it's just too low currently

In ZCP increase the random loot slider value

[willow hawk]

You can yes check #old-framerate-optimisation

[cedar glen]

I thought it affects loot chance in those little metal containers and wooden crates

[graceful iron]

no, its random loot on the ground or in spots

but currently as grok said its rare

[tender tusk]

Is it the arguments? Do I have to put it in like -example or just example

[north turret]

#custom-textures

update, complete the installation and then follow the tutorial. I did this and it worked, then of course you have to use another version of the Cr3pis icons with the HD Templates etc.

[willow hawk]

No no it's random lot. But there were issues like respawning food at the bar after every save load

[willow hawk]

Which commands do you want to run ?

[tender tusk]

-noprefetch, i read it solved the problem with loading times

[willow hawk]

Prefetch only affects first loading

And no prefetch means more stutters while playing

[tender tusk]

It wouldn't hurt to try, I hopefully can delete it

[cedar glen]

Ol' good issues with literally everything, I'll live without it, thanks for the information

[magic reef]

regarding artifacts in belt, can it not be done so that they loose percentage when in use even though they are in belt?

[calm tangle]

Perk artifacts will lose condition over time while on the belt.

Take them off to not use up their condition. And use the Artifact Melter to recharge them.

If they reach 0, they will be deleted, so pay attention.

[uneven bison]

Anyone know if there's a fix to the burer sound effect whisper repeating even after it's dead or is it just a known glitch I have to manually stop when it happens.

[willow hawk]

There must be another one in the neighborhood

[uneven bison]

Nah it's happened like 3 times and I see other users talking about it

[buoyant cosmos]

Is it normal that the APS suppressor doesn't fit the Upgraded APS anymore ? Description states that it only fits the Ots-33 now

Well, never mind that, I just realised there are two silencer (APS and APB) and the one sold by Sidorovich must have changed at some point

[sly reef]

hey i'm wondering how the updates work. Do i have to scroll and install each and every update on the discord channel, or are they cumulative, like i just have to download the lasted patch ?

[warped ginkgo]

there are two kind of updates, the ones from gamma data, and the ones from the addons directly from moddb

for example the majority in #📢development are from gamma data, once you open the installer launcher, click on update gamma data, and then install gamma addons

it will take like 15 sec and then you should be good to play

[sly reef]

yea i think i got confused, it is simple

thanks for confirming it to me !

[warped ginkgo]

if you click on complete gamma installation, it will begin to check if any current addon you have is outdated

and then it wil search for the newest in moddb and download/onstall it

i think it works like that

[brisk zinc]

Yes

Time to create a pinned message for this question as well

One day I'll create a FAQ

[runic plume]

anyone have any idea where this stash is supposed to be?

[tidal raft]

In the toilet.

[runic plume]

yea thats what i thought at first but i cant’t seem to find an angle to loot it lmao

[tidal raft]

Reach into it, get your shoulder up in there.

[brisk zinc]

"COMPLETE G.A.M.M.A. INSTALLATION" or "ONLY INSTALL G.A.M.M.A. ADDONS?"

I want to update my G.A.M.M.A. thing, but:

• What's the difference between the two? Do I have to click both of them?
• What do I need to do? Is there an order?

The difference

"Complete G.A.M.M.A. installation" updates everything. Simple as that.
This option will install GAMMA again (yes, it's intended) and, at the same time, will check if there are any updates for the installed mods, so if any mod gets updated, you'll get the update. And yes, it's slower but it's normal and to be expected since you're basically installing everything again + checking if something have an update.

"Only install G.A.M.M.A. Addons", on the other hand,only refers to the #📢development channel. This is obviously faster because it doesn't have the need to check 270+ mods, but, again, just to be sure, it will only check what's new inside #📢development. That's it. If you want to update everything, you'll need to use the first option.

Q: Yeah that's cool and all but... do I need to click both of them?

A: No, you don't need to do that. It really only depends on what you want to do. So ask yourself this:

"Do I want to update everything and be sure about it?" -> Complete G.A.M.M.A. installation
"I don't want to wait countless hours, minutes and seconds just to update everything..." -> Only install G.A.M.M.A. Addons

Or maybe because who knows:
"I don't want to do anything at all!" -> Don't do it then! As long as everything works for you, it's fine, you're not obligated to do anything.
(unless there is some serious bug that need to be fixed, in that case it's better to update)

Q: Yeah okay but what do I need to do in order to do stuff?:

A: This is the fixed order:

1. Update G.A.M.M.A. data
2. Since you know the difference now, it's up to you.
3. Wait for the thing to be done.
4. Play the game.

[warped ginkgo]

[north turret]

hey guys, did they add something to the latest update? my fps was 45-60 now its 35-45

[floral sorrel]

Does GAMMA mod support curse of immortality mod?

[unique coral]

any way to console command rubles in?

[tidal sentinel]

Hello, can someone please help/give me advice on what to do from here?
My smoke textures in my game are completely broken. Whenever theres smoking exiting the gun after shooting or if theres a campfire nearby, all of the smoke is just black pixels. It happened after I tried installing YAWM but I couldnt get it to work so I unchecked the YAWM file and the file with the patch for cinematic.fx for YAWM. Since then, my game has been displaying this bug. I've also tried reinstalling cinematic.fx by itself but it still hasnt fixed it.
If I absolutely have to ill just reinstall everything but I dont know why its still showing the bug. Is it cinematic.fx? Heres a video showing it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul8pEAr2Xyk

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I've been wanting to play this badly but its pretty game breaking.

This happens for 99% of all guns that I've tried whenever I shoot. Just black pixels

[warped ginkgo]

if any addon you are using has it's own particles.xr that's probably the reasonb

no idea how it works, but i guess that the particles.xr wants to play a particle effect and wants to use textures for that, but isnce it doesn't find any texture it displays the black thing

also, remember to delete shader cache after unticking them

[tidal sentinel]

See, thats why I assumed it was YAWM but the snow was still not showing for me so I unchecked it. I obviously didnt follow the instructions correctly for it not showing any snow so I just disabled the mod but the smoke is still showing. Do you know of an easy way for me to find what mods have their own particle.xr through MO2?

[tidal sentinel]

I've done this everytime I've tried restarting the game but it still doesnt do anything to the pixel smoke.

After adjusting enabling/disabling mods of course

[warped ginkgo]

type particles.xr in the mo2 virtual folder search box

[tidal sentinel]

Is there a difference between a mod in MO2 being unchecked vs uninstalled? Should I completely uninstall YAWM and its related files?

[warped ginkgo]

no

[tidal sentinel]

Doesnt show anything.

[warped ginkgo]

how many mods you have?

maybe you have a incomplete installation

[tidal sentinel]

I dont know how to see the "total" amount but I have 272 active

[tidal sentinel]

It was working fine before I tried installing YAWM but I messed up the installation

*messed up the installation of YAWM

[warped ginkgo]

type here particles.xr

[tidal sentinel]

oh oops, I did it in the mods filter

[warped ginkgo]

is cinemavfx from the normal gamma installation?

or is a mod you added

honestly no idea xd, maybe you have some custom mod still active , better ask in #🔨modded-gamma-support

[tidal sentinel]

I... thought I remember cinemavfx being apart of the install for GAMMA but im not 100% sure

[tidal sentinel]

Yeah I might look into that. Thanks for the advice

Well for whatever reason it works now after I disabled cinemavfx. I feel like im going crazy cause I thought that was enabled by default but maybe not. Im just glad its working now lol

[modern fern]

This is simply a curiosity, but when stalker 2 was announced to be using the unreal engine if I’m correct. People stated that despite its graphical abilities it’s actually harder to mod stalker 2 with it? Yet unbelievably, there are constantly new mods coming out for original stalker yet with many limitations. What would it take to sky’s the limit a mod ambition? Rebuilt the current engine from scratch?

[brisk zinc]

Why in here? This is a channel for GAMMA related questions

[warped ginkgo]

where is your pfp from bristiara?

[graceful iron]

debug mode, check the pinned message for how to enable debug

[unique coral]

@graceful iron thank you comrade!

[valid spire]

Aye boys what armor is this

[graceful iron]

isnt that navigator in the bar? not sure if he even wears a real in-game armor

[valid spire]

Ah ok thought it was an in game armor

[graceful iron]

the mask looks like GP-5 looking at it closely (the image is really dark)

[modern fern]

Sorry kinda saw questions and auto piloted from there

[light mauve]

If i switch to dx8 what do i need to disable

[icy dagger]

Yo, quick question, which faction usually drops ghillie suits? I've been roaming the zone looking for a stalker wearing a ghillie suit but no luck so far.

[graceful iron]

i think all factions have a ghillie suit but you will probably find more mercs and monolith wearing one

limansk and possibly red forest

[graceful iron]

beef's nvgs

[light mauve]

thank you ill try it

[willow hawk]

That's more or less what people are doing already ? x64 engines, many new features, etc > #╓☢stalker-chat

[icy dagger]

Ahhh okay thank you

The only place I've been actively avoiding is the red forest. There's always freaky stuff going on there. 😖

[willow hawk]

But that's where all the good artefacts are

Gotta feel that Dark Wood vibe

[jagged lance]

dont let grok go on about artifacts in red forest

[light mauve]

nope dx8 was worse

[jagged lance]

do ghillie suits make you harder to detect?

[graceful iron]

no

[light mauve]

I got a shader compilation failed

[graceful iron]

delete shaders_cache in anomaly/appdata, if its DX9 try another dx since dx9 does not work for gamma

[light mauve]

I did I switch back to dx10

I was following the instructions in the optimization tab

[graceful iron]

make sure you dont miss any of the steps

especially this one

[light mauve]

Ok re do it

Ill

[desert robin]

re the announcement about master (hidden) difficulty.. what does that do with the settings? What does it change?

I didnt see much about this in files so

[willow hawk]

it must change the NPCs AI a bit and received damages

[desert robin]

AI?!?!?! Juicy...

[willow hawk]

Well it's just the same thing you can tweak already

[desert robin]

[graceful iron]

all difficulties affect AI, nothing new with the hidden one doing that

[willow hawk]

also yes you can make the actor protection to poor

[desert robin]

Yeah. You basically die in 1 hit from anything, from a gust of wind even... Or atleast it felt like it. Played with that setting for the longest time. Reverted it because... fuck even that.

[willow hawk]

yes it's dumb

[desert robin]

I changed my difficulty settings bigtime last night.. Maxing out everything was cool, sure, but somewhere in that, i feel something was lost. Dying in 1 hit from a rogue fart, well, the novelty wears off.. I began to ask myself.. "Do i really enjoy reloading every time i so much as look at someone wrong?" and i started to think about the direction i was going.. So i pulled back a lot of the stuff i had done.. It's still harder than the base hard difficulty, but just not crazy hard. ..... .... And then i went and deleted half the loot in the game by changing the corpse loot.

[graceful iron]

why can we find these as far north as jupiter and zaton

or is it because those areas are just less dangerous ?

[willow hawk]

Yes I agree that jupyter and zaton aren't really good in terms of artefacts lol

[slow fox]

with this new update, do blue army med kits give damage resist?

[willow hawk]

main idea was, these areas are kinda safe compared to the rest in the north. Did this so you are pushed to go in actual dangerous spots like red forest, pripyat etc

[desert robin]

Hey ive wondered something.. Is GAMMA at the mercy of modders who update their mods, that you automatically get that latest one even if it changes stuff that gamma doesn't want or hasnt checked? ie: What happens if DLTX minimod pack gets updated, or OCD fixes gets updated, and i do a complete install? Do i then get (insert change/feature here) that they just added?

[willow hawk]

otherwise it's just Zaton > Jupyter > Zaton > Jupyter: super boring since these areas are vast and empty lol

and one need to actually completely revamp the maps to make them actually interesting

I found myself almost loosing money trying to play too much in these two areas

you are better off going to dangerous places to maximize the loot > high risk > high reward

[desert robin]

Didnt the devs not have access to the source files or something? Seems like the sound i got from the discord was that it was like... never getting updated 😦

[willow hawk]

yup

I control what's installed from each mod

now if files are changed, yes, the pack is that the mercy of other modders

but usually addons are improved and errors are spotted quickly

[desert robin]

So, DLTX minimod and OCDFixes latest are in Gamma...?

Interesting

[willow hawk]

And there's a version control in MO2

[desert robin]

[willow hawk]

you can see which archive the files were extracted from

that's the strength of gamma: complete install downloads every new version of all addons if the addon got updated compared to what you have installed locally

[desert robin]

True.. Potentially also a weakness.. If a modder messes something up or adds something outside their mods scope or whatever

[willow hawk]

true

but I can also enforce specific versions easily

that's what I'll do for DICK

since I don't want to update it every time, I'll update once and for all and fix a given version

but forcing some specific files to be installed over the addon files

[lapis silo]

With some money to spare, I run Zaton: Swamps, Oakpine, Iron Forest, Claw and then to Jupiter (via Guide) to farm the northern anomalies, then back to Zaton and rinse repeat. It is quite profitable (got 4 or 5 empties and a couple wrenched in some runs), but Red Forest is stil more profitable. But Zaton and Jupiter work really well together, if you just run from anomaly to anomaly

Plus, there it is fairly safe, so less time spent shooting, more time spent looking for artifacts

[willow hawk]

anomaly to anomaly works a bit yes, it's just that runs are quite long during each spot

and quite boring haha

I prefer red forest, faster, more profitable

[lapis silo]

Yeah, can't argue there

[desert robin]

Is Red Forest deliberately made goood for anomaly hunting or something?

[willow hawk]

that's how I got 2 AR15 in no time

[willow hawk]

yes

lots of anomalous spots + lots of dynamic anomalous spots + good artefacts spawn tables

[lapis silo]

However, Oakpine in Zaton is still the champ for me, it almost always spawns an empty or wrenched when I visit

[desert robin]

What can be done about that long valley map? Is there any potential to do something similar there? It just seems under-utilised and there's little to no point to really go there... Maybe some incentive, it's a forest, afterall

[willow hawk]

also one of the most scary area of the game, so it's kind of good to have a nice incentive to go there

[lapis silo]

And Claw in Zaton has never given me anything but a junk artifact, now where I think about it

[willow hawk]

remake the map....

change spawner logics, etc

[desert robin]

Nah i mean making it more like, anomaly-active or something

like with Red forest how the artefacts are good

[willow hawk]

but at some point, it would need the map to be remade completely

work on spawns logic and smartlogics

But I'm not even sure there are a lot of smarts over there

but adding lots of anomalous spots + controllers could be fun

[desert robin]

That map is some next level shit at night

[willow hawk]

but the map is very large and not dense at all...

so it can get quite boring lol

Stuff like Truck Cemetary and much more fun

[desert robin]

I love that map..

[willow hawk]

If anything, I need to reduce the artefacts quality in AW

and increase them in Truck Cemetary

so people stop farming AW all the time

[graceful iron]

who even farms AW for artefacts?

[slow fox]

I farm it for gear at some point usually

as UNISG for example

[willow hawk]

What I meant is, AW for gear, truck cemetary for artefacts in the south

[icy dagger]

but everything wants to kill me there. first time i went there, there was monolith fighting against mercs and clear sky. they were getting wiped out by those two until reinforcements came wiped out both factions. i just quietly hid in the bushes as they passed by the dead corpses of everyone. stealth saves lives.

[willow hawk]

[icy dagger]

also, is the patches request from aslan bugged? i got 50 monolith patches and it doesnt have the option to turn them in. just upto 30 patches option show up.

[slow fox]

30 is max

as i was told

[graceful iron]

its been changed. the max is 30

15/30

[dense blaze]

Same goes for Meadow right? Very interesting map but not much reason to go there i think. Also, for vanilla Anomaly and probably for GAMMA too the map seems ''bugged'' in the sense mobs don't even respawn there.

[graceful iron]

they do, only in a certain part of the map

meadow is mostly a quests area, and its quite and safe for the most part unless you run into a poltergeist/burer/chimera there

there is also a bandits spawn

[dense blaze]

Really? Every time i revisited it after clearing it out initially, it was always devoid of any life. Maybe just ''unlucky'' then or something

[slow fox]

What are some good artifacts to work towards? Compass seems good? Full empty? Volat emerald

[dense blaze]

Heart of Oasis is also decent for firefights

[graceful iron]

heart of the oasis is still bugged i believe, cant be empowered

[dense blaze]

too bad:(

[slow fox]

Also how does health of artifacts affect crafting?

[graceful iron]

it does not

[slow fox]

Ok so empower for personal use not for upgrades

[graceful iron]

upgrades ?

[icy dagger]

ah noted

[slow fox]

I meant crafting something out of them

[graceful iron]

yes, dont empower artefacts to craft them into something else

craft and then empower

[desert robin]

I was reading last night in Anomaly Coding discord about Meadow. Apparently, NPC's from other maps cannot travel to Meadow, it was disabled because it crashes the game when they do. A guy (GhenToung?) was asking about teleporting them instead. Just an interesting thing i learned.

[jagged lance]

explains why i always saw the same 3 loners in the meadow

[slow fox]

Is there an upgrade kit for fn fal?

[jagged lance]

there's like 50 variants of them

[slow fox]

Im level 3 supply with mercs and nothing yet

[jagged lance]

dont think theres a kit though

[slow fox]

Hmm

Mine just says FN FAL

[jagged lance]

think i might have seen an SA58 kit but idk

yeah that's the OG

[graceful iron]

this one does not have a kit

[slow fox]

Is it overall decent? I got no clue in terms of nato carbines and stuff

[desert robin]

Why is this like this after every update (red X)

[jolly yarrow]

Could someone please explain to me what changing the Modorganizer.ini customexecutables size to 11 does?

[jagged lance]

adds another space for the 0 core executable

[slow fox]

Yeah I have one of them

[jagged lance]

idk what it actually does but thats basically what it does

[jolly yarrow]

thanks

[jagged lance]

then yeah if you want to keep using the fal platform you need to move onto the SA58

idk anything about how good the nato guns are in gamma because im a 5.45 fanboy

[slow fox]

Well im currently using the k98 and i have some guns to upgrade from the nato platform. Stuff like sa58, scar (expert op), fn fal. They all seem about the same

[graceful iron]

the differences are slight between them

[slow fox]

Also Ash but thats a different one

[jolly yarrow]

so what would happen if the only thing i changed was the size from 10 - 11 and left the rest disabling core manually or not at all?

[slow fox]

Isnt there another carbine that uses 7.62x51 with an upgrade kit that makes it more into a sniper rifle

[willow hawk]

Its higher

[slow fox]

For fn fal?

[willow hawk]

Ah I need to check that one ys

[late herald]

i found an ak at 76% in a stash , i fixed to 100% and fixed all the damaged parts to 100% , i load in the wild territory and my ak was a 0% but all the parts are at 100%

[tidal raft]

A majority of the content in LSZ has been removed by IgorNitch and the archive name has changed.

If you still have the old archive you can manually extract the AI tweak.

[floral sorrel]

Is curse of immortality/respawn mod compatible with gamma modpack?

[slow fox]

In getting a brief stutter and loss of fps when i shoot in the dark or there are stalkers near campfires etc. i guess it has to do with the light shadow whatever thing. Any tips on which setting i can turn down?

[ebon magnet]

thats a thing that happened to me using hd models

[willow hawk]

Hum weird

I guess I'll just add the AI tweak as part of a GAMMA addon and push LSZ as disabled...

[ornate salmon]

anyone know where the alife.ltx is?

nvm forgot you have to unpack that file

[subtle shuttle]

does anyone know whats up with having npcs randomly be hostile after fighting in the arena?
i get attacked right after finishing the second round
i cant kill him or everyone goes aggro but he spawns basically on top of me ready to kill me

[tidal raft]

Yeah. The solution is to not fight in the arena, because this modpack isn't designed with the arena in mind.

[ornate salmon]

thats good to know

i was planning on doing that

since im a dootier

always available to me

[subtle shuttle]

bruh

[graceful iron]

you can fight in the arena but its not balanced, yet

also in one of the fights you fight loners, if you are friendly/neutral with them they might not like you killing them

[tidal raft]

It's not only about balance, since the NPCs inside counts as 'citisens' of Rostok and can turn the entire base against you.

[graceful iron]

oh... so its even worse with rostok being safe for military addon i assume

[tidal raft]

They'll aggro too if you aggro the Duty soldiers.

[subtle shuttle]

why did my character black out and then die with it saying "you escaped a fate worse than death"?

[icy nebula]

Just updated GAMMA, is 'GAMMA Alife fixes' supposed to be disabled now?

[tropic orbit]

Was your screen blue

[subtle shuttle]

black

[tropic orbit]

I meant before it went black

[subtle shuttle]

no i was just running around after consuming large amounts of radiation

i had just healed back to full but my character was all dizzy and shit and everything kept going black or white and then i died and that message popped up

[tropic orbit]

I don't know if radiation can outright kill you. Since my best guess is you either ran out of Psy health or there was an emission going on. Those two usually give a blackscreen then the message that you escaped a fate etc

[subtle shuttle]

whats psy health

i dont think it was the radiation as i had cured it

[tropic orbit]

Psy health is the bar above your limb hp stuff

[graceful iron]

you died to psy damage

[tropic orbit]

Yeah it definitely has to be

[subtle shuttle]

how does psy health work

[graceful iron]

psy anomalies/ controllers/ psy dogs/ radar anomalies /psy emissions will damage your psy health which is the dotted bar above your health UI

[tropic orbit]

^It's essentially a second health bar for your mental health.

[graceful iron]

you need psy protection (mostly from helmets) or psy blocking medications

[tropic orbit]

Afaik it can only heal over time and the screen is really nauseating the lower your psy health is

[graceful iron]

you can avoid most anomalies and psy emissions and you just need to break line of sight with controllers

[tropic orbit]

I thought burers also dealt psy damage

Or are they just pure interface screw

[graceful iron]

no they have "gravitational" abilities

they throw stuff at you while using a gravitational attack to crush you to death or take your weapon away from you while draining your stamina

[uneven bison]

Can you play survival mode in gamma or does ZCP override most of it

[edgy tapir]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, was in cordon and hit an anomaly, got this error. Could anyone explain what it means and what should I do please?

Anyone know where to find the documents regarding "conspiracy" in lab x-8? I have the ones for Strelok but there is another yellow quest marker on X8?!

[graceful iron]

did you update recently ?

[edgy tapir]

Yep

[graceful iron]

you need a complete installation for a specific update that added a new addon

[edgy tapir]

Ah I see

[graceful iron]

#💽how-to-update update gamma data and then complete gamma installation

make sure to launch the installer as admin, also check that your installer is version 3.2

[edgy tapir]

You go back to the elevator, and there's a floor where you gotta jump on, from inside the elevator shaft, that's where the documents are

Ohh I had to launch the installer as admin, didn't do that

Will do

Thank you

[rancid plinth]

I cant seem to sell any artifacts is that because they are damaged?

i guess i found them damaged

[graceful iron]

#│📚manual artefacts reinvention

[fringe coral]

are there rad pockets that are not detected by the dosimeter? cuz it sometimes shows 0 environmental radiation but i still take rads.

[willow hawk]

Yes

Radiation anomalies

(it's a bug)

[soft leaf]

is the cell fixed now?

black angel was also kinda broken

[calm tangle]

What is a partial reload?

[soft leaf]

uhhh reloading with a round in the chamber?

[graceful iron]

reloading when the gun still has ammo in it

empty is when the gun has no ammo, it has a different way to reload so a different animation

[calm tangle]

Oh

pretty obvious wasn't it lol

[graceful iron]

[ornate salmon]

whats with the

extra mag slots?

i swear they werent there before

[graceful iron]

the backpack ? are you wearing combat backpack ?

[ornate salmon]

oh damn yeah i am

didnt notice its from there

lol

[pure storm]

May I know if the additional storyline quests are incorporated into Gamma? if so may I know where to start them?

[north turret]

Is there a specific DX I should play this at, or can I use DX9 or even 8 if I wanted to, or would I need to replace a few mods?

[glad path]

Is the condition on exoskeletons supposed to run down over time? I have an X18 Exoskeleton and its condition just drops as Im walking around

[pure storm]

roger that

[graceful iron]

you can launch gamma with dx8, 10 or 11

for 8 you will only need to disable beef's nvgs addon

[north turret]

Oh! I presumed I would need to disable something else. Thanks!

[fiery jasper]

Was there some mod that effects performance added recently? When i played awhile ago i had like a stable 50-60 fps but now it's a choppy mess with the same settings. And my gpu never even goes above 60% usage

Maybe rostok is just a stuttering mess but i don't remember it being this bad last time i played

[soft leaf]

disabled in zcp

[ancient hearth]

it seems my living legend questline bugged out after i turned off the brain scorcher. i kinda just went and turned it off without doing the prior quests. is there a console command to initiate the next quest?

[graceful iron]

#old-bugs message

[north turret]

Yeah it seems to be the latests updates of DAO

I got no stuttering since disabling it

[fiery jasper]

yeah i disabled it too with still really bad stuttering in rostok, i think imma just wait to play gamma till i have a better gpu maybe

[north turret]

If I was to disable Beef's NVGS would it be fine to install something like 'My little nvgs' for DX8 and not cause any conflicts or should I not risk it?

[graceful iron]

you can try i guess, make sure to install the mod correctly using mo2 and put it at the end of the load order

[north turret]

Alright, I mean, if something goes wrong I'll at least know what the problem is.

[graceful iron]

check if it has any patches in the files that it could need to work with other mods in gamma

[north turret]

Gotcha
Edit: No patches but no overwriting either, looks like im in the clear.

[magic reef]

is the radiation very high in wild territory? i went in and continued through a dark building with bushes but died due to radiation. Could not get it down?

ok

[wraith gull]

Should I use gamma economy or trader overhaul?

[graceful iron]

oh no

[wraith gull]

Most of the traders in gamma economy dont have high end gear like NV, attachments, etc :/

[graceful iron]

but seriously though try gamma economy first

#│📚manual you need to craft and repair more

[wraith gull]

OHHHH

okk

crafting i see

[graceful iron]

the progression is locked behind toolkits, toolkits are found in marked stashes and you get most stash locations from quests and looting dead bodies

[wraith gull]

ok cool

I will use gamma economy

[wraith token]

And you know basically every recipe. So you are limited by toolkits and other items you've found along your way

Dismantling items is very important

[wraith gull]

No need to unlock recipes using notes ?

[graceful iron]

no, they all start unlocked

[wraith token]

Only exo batteries are locked.

[graceful iron]

except special PSU recipes for exoskeletons

[wraith gull]

hmm

yall pro af

[wraith token]

Hint: after getting the info off of other stalkers pda, dismantle the pda for parts.

Use them to upgrade your pda/nvgs/etx

[wraith gull]

rip I was selling all the pdas :/

ok

[graceful iron]

you could also disassemble broken electronics so selling pdas is fine

[wraith token]

That too.

[wraith gull]

broken electronics like broken radio?

[graceful iron]

yes

[wraith gull]

okk

tysm!!

[calm tangle]

that's smart, never have done that.

[wraith token]

It's good early game to stock up.

[calm tangle]

getting paid for PDAs is very random tho. Sometimes you get paid 500, sometimes you get 8000.

[wraith token]

I stopped selling pdas all together.

I mean at least until I've crafted all my devices.

[calm tangle]

To salvage them?

That's interesting I suppose.

[wraith token]

Roubles are not important

[calm tangle]

I sell them, cause I hoard pretty much everything off bodies, so I am always collecting broken radios, detectors, whatever.

[wraith token]

Not really.

Yeah I collect and salvage a lot of stuff.

[calm tangle]

By the time I get my tools, I have like 10x of each technology part, that I can dismantle and craft what I need.

[wraith gull]

Its hard to find tools damn

yall know any good locations for a basic/advanced tool set ?

[tidal raft]

In stashes.

My recommendation is Yantar, Wild Territory, Army Warehouse, and Truck Cemetery.

[calm tangle]

Basic can be obtained through a quest / barter.

Advanced / Expert have to be obtained from a stash. Green stashes have a 100% to contain a tool-kit.

[sudden egret]

is there anything that can cause a belt attachment to drop itself? i seem to have lost an improved surge suppressor between two quicksaves and not sure how

possible i could have somehow dropped it but it was attached to my belt so seems unlikely

[calm tangle]

Not entirely sure, you probably dropped it tho.

I’ve been dropping my Backpack a LOT by accident with SHIFT, so I changed it to CTRL.

[void storm]

is 272 ok or am I missing one?

[brisk zinc]

Speaking of this

I'm not playing GAMMA right now

Does this mean that we can't Shift click our stuff inside stashes?

[calm tangle]

No, it still works like that.

If you search something, like a corpse, and press SHIFT on your items, it will transfer. Not drop.

This is partly why I change it to CTRL, so that I can drop things while in my stash.

It gets really annoying trying to get rid of junk and having to wait for the freeze to end to see your stash

[brisk zinc]

Oh okay, that's good

[brisk zinc]

It should be 273 from what I know

[graceful iron]

no, right now its 272

[void storm]

did full update now it's 273

[sly reef]

Thanks for the time to write this up, it helped me

[brisk zinc]

You're welcome 🙂

[ancient hearth]

why am i getting an error on both the F7 console and the ~ console when trying to do a "task_manager.get_task_manager():set_task_completed("") input?

is there also any way to set s tage for a quest? eg <string id="st_psd_stage_0"><text>Reach the pump station.</text></string>

[obtuse orbit]

What level of tools are required to buy heavy armor repair kits from a vendor

[jagged lance]

expert

[obtuse orbit]

Should it not be basic -> light, advanced -> heavy, expert -> exoskeleton

Or am I remembering wrong and exos use the heavy armor kit

[jagged lance]

nah heavy and exo is both expert

there's medium armour too btw

[obtuse orbit]

Oh I thought it was light/heavy/exo only for some reason

[delicate wharf]

You can craft a heavy kit with adv tools, the recipe is a lot more expensive than if you have expert available but its worth it you have a good heavy armor you want to repair

[jagged lance]

you're better off just getting expert tools though the heavy kit advanced recipe needed 17 medium kits last i saw

[obtuse orbit]

Yeah I saw it takes like 18 medium kits lol

I just upgraded my shitty starting merc armor, it's fine for the southern maps anyway

[fleet grail]

Was it not "18 uses of medium kit". So that'd be 5x Medium kits

[slow fox]

Yes i think so

[slow fox]

If i wanna go to sakharov to buy the melter, is it feasible to pay aslan for a ceasefire?

Or just use the disguise system?

[tidal raft]

You must disguise.

Paying for a ceasefire will only work if you don't approach the faction's main base.

Once you get too close, all bets are off again.

[long path]

does the effects of consuming meds/drinks/food stack?

[calm tangle]

I don't believe so.

I think they reset the effects / depends if one is stronger then the other.

If you use an Epi-pen and then caffeine tablets, the epi-pen will cancel out the caffeine tablets effects. At least I am pretty sure that is the way it may work.

[wise sparrow]

you're calling a function to complete a task but not specifying which task you want to complete in the quotes at the end. as an example, this is the one that you would use to complete the bugged ecologist escort task in jupiter. task_manager.get_task_manager():set_task_completed("jup_b6_scientist_tech_task_1")

there should be a post somewhere in the discord for the bugged clear sky task you are trying to progress.

[willow hawk]

You can craft heavy repair kit with advanced toolkit for an extra cost

[serene cedar]

Is it a normal drop to the ground, or more like a delete? I've noticed that some of my stuff just vanishes. I guess it's because of the SHIFT thing.

[vague siren]

how do i get rid of radiation? I've drunk so much vodka and downed so many anti-rads over an hour but everytime it wears off the rads just come back and kill me? Is it maybe the "organ damage"? am I just dumb?

Ok I am just dumb, stupid anomalous bread

[serene cedar]

That is a difficulty, indeed. I didn't start with a mask so I also had trouble with the patches of radiation. First aid kits, water, vodka, cigarettes will be your early friends!

[serene cedar]

Hate that thing, hehehe.

[serene cedar]

Which MCM section is it to change the dropping from SHIFT to another key?

[hoary veldt]

In the top MCM option, there's one to show all the possible keybinds I believe

[cedar glen]

I had the same thing happen to me, you just gotta eat it

[serene cedar]

Thanks.

[hoary veldt]

[vague siren]

Suffering from the bread was the direct consequence of grabbing it after fanatic told me not to

[lilac meteor]

Wasnt there an armour comparison chart posted somewhere after it was all overhauled?

Can't seem to find it

[graceful iron]

#│📚manual

[lilac meteor]

I knew I saw it somewhere, tyvm

[serene cedar]

I checked but there were only a few MCM specific keybinds. In my settings, I don't even have a key bound to 'Drop' so I don't know how to change it.

[hoary veldt]

This?

[serene cedar]

I don't have that one.... so weird.

I disabled Raven's 172 Cost in tooltip and Raven's Tooltips on the side. Perhaps those have the script

[hoary veldt]

Do you have GAMMA Press Key to Drop Item in your Gamma Hud segment?

[serene cedar]

No, I guess that was added with a recent update.

[graceful iron]

yes it was a recent update

you can update your gamma addons through the installer, just make sure you have the 3.2 installer

(stewed) cooked food seems to deal damage when you eat it (it even damaged a limb) ? does food or medicine have some sort of reactions between them when used at the same time ?

[jagged lance]

if its unhealthy it does health damage

[graceful iron]

does not have unhealthy

[willow hawk]

just update and stop complaining about bugs that got fixed days ago

If you have bugs, at the very least do a update gamma data > only install gamma addons and see if your bug is fixed

[serene cedar]

Sorry to cause a hassle. Will do.

Should MO2 be running during the update, or only the GAMMA updater?

[graceful iron]

only the gamma installer

[serene cedar]

Ok.

[jagged ingot]

It looks like scope on ar 15 is blocking laser dot. Is it ok of FOV problem?

[graceful iron]

is the laser enabled ? (sometimes putting a scope on the gun turns off the laser)

[jagged ingot]

no it is working, just blocked by the scope. I think something with position, because I played another modpack with another position and it was ok with that weapon

Yes the model of Scope is just too big (it's okay with this scope from gauss rifle)

[jagged ingot]

Is it possible to find gaus scope EOTS-62 ? In original BAS Sacharov is selling it

[graceful iron]

you can find it on stalkers or buy it from nimble (the loner trader in zaton in the shadovsk)

[jagged ingot]

also it "Should" have detecting feature that is not working (not a problem with modepack, more like original oversight)

[graceful iron]

it only works like that on the gauss rifle, and only with upgrades

[jagged ingot]

Anyway, this can be added to any weapon supporintg this socpe by adding one line in config file for every weapon (installed_upgrades = up_fourtc_svd_nimble)

[ancient ruin]

will there be any major updates requiring a new game anytime soon, want to start a play thorough but not if i have to restart in a few days

[fallow coyote]

Where are settings information (such as graphic settings, controls, etc) stored in?

[lapis silo]

So far, there hasn't been an update that broke saves. So you are free to start a longplay run, there won't be any updates that will break your save.

And if there are, Grok will announce it, so you can just not update, when or if it happens

[lapis silo]

[slow fox]

Where can i buy ak12 monolith upgrade kit? Probs all WP traders?

[hoary veldt]

Try checking with Nimble at the Skadovsk, he sells all the kits in the game IIRC

[graceful iron]

clear sky sell it, so i assume its a NATO kit

[slow fox]

I hope so cause mercs are my only allies. Though supply level 3 only has the AK5C box

[graceful iron]

i really dont think mercs sell them i have them to trader level 5 right now

[slow fox]

Ak12 mono seems like a neat gun. Just needs an acog now

Oh

[graceful iron]

idk how clear sky have it but not freedom or mercs

[slow fox]

I wonder which supply level it’s available from. I suppose i can sneak in there but farming rep for them might prove not fun

[graceful iron]

2-3

i seen it very early from spore

[slow fox]

I suppose the main question now is if ak12 mono is worth the hassle

[jagged ingot]

I think upgraded Ak12 MONO is a good gun, but it lacks the best scope (march tactical with dynamic zoom) and grenades for it's grenade launcher are so rare. Maybe the regular ak12 will be the better option (you can use any nato scopes with it + standart VOG grenades are common)

[slow fox]

Thanks. As far as the scope goes the regular acog is sufficient for me

[jagged ingot]

There are some tactical kits (dual scopes). They can be changed unlike upgrade kit for weapons. They can be used with some BaS weapons without integrated scopes I think

[ancient ruin]

can you complete every storyline as any faction?

[slow fox]

No

[ancient ruin]

ok, i was going to pick freedom but should i pick something like loner or cs instead?

[slow fox]

Freedom is fine, there are factions that cant do the main story lines

[ancient ruin]

ok, thx
