[pallid skiff]

is there combat music mod

[willow hawk]

Combat music never really worked I think @pallid skiff

[pallid skiff]

i dont know i managed to download a combat music mod

for efp

worked pretty well

i think its

Combat music extended

[willow hawk]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/combat-music-restored-extended

It should work with gamma

[oak vine]

is there any chance the last fight of the arena can be fixed? it should be a free for all but instead its all against the player

[brisk zinc]

Arena is bugged and not recommended in GAMMA

[oak vine]

it works tho

[brisk zinc]

It works but it's bugged and not recommended in GAMMA

🙄

[oak vine]

for what reason

[willow hawk]

Last fight isn't balanced

It is how it is

I didn't have time to fix it

One man to fix a whole game is quite the job especially when you aren't paid to do so

[oak vine]

maybe in the future?

[willow hawk]

Or not

Not a priority anyways

[oak vine]

ok

[willow hawk]

It's in #📎to-do but low priority

[grave canopy]

any way to get better antialiasing?

[willow hawk]

Using Nvidia DLDSR with RTX3 cards

[limber sorrel]

is the performance cost any different to smaa or otherwise

[willow hawk]

Its less I would say thanks to using the tensor cores

[limber sorrel]

thats sick af

thanks

[split rune]

why are so many enemys
immortal?

[grave canopy]

so not working with rtx 2060

[willow hawk]

I don't think DLDSR is available for these GPU @grave canopy

[graceful iron]

are you shooting with a broken barrel? #╭📖faq

[ornate salmon]

#│📚manual ballistics overhaul

[ornate salmon]

dammit

also yeah, #╭📖faq

[willow hawk]

Also, PDA Guide

[split rune]

both guns i use and i cant kill him. and other

[graceful iron]

you are using a weapon with a broken barrel and a weapon shooting ammo that has no AP power at all

#│📚manual #╭📖faq or see the in-game manual in the pda

[split rune]

the one in the pic has no head gear and dont die to headshoots with both guns

[graceful iron]

#📢announcements has the damage reduction on barrels chart. high rank stalkers have more HP so he is probably tanking your shots, try to use a gun that shoots something like slugs or 556FMJ instead and make sure its repaired

#╭📖faq has a detailed section on how to repair guns

[split rune]

Alright thanks I try it

[grave canopy]

what is the best handgun? korth 6?

[graceful iron]

depends on what you want to use it for, korth 4 and 6 are really good mutant killers (also other 45 with hydrashock or 357 like the deagle) if you want it for all purpose close range use 9x19 (some pistols have full auto or 3 round burst upgrades) and if you want it for stalkers use 9x21 or 5.7 which you can use the p90 or mp7 in the handgun slot

[hardy dune]

everything that shoots 9mm is arguably the best along with all the other handguns that dont shoot .45acp that one is reserved for mutants

[calm tangle]

.45ACP is good against unarmoured targets.

[graceful iron]

but that is very specific, its better and cheaper to use 9x18 or 9x19

unless you want to only use the pistol for mutants

[calm tangle]

Yes. Am just saying it works. Saying “this is reserved for mutants” might suggest to not use it against humans at all. Atleast that’s how I read it at first.

.45ACP is very strong against mutants, which applies to unarmoured targets too.

[graceful iron]

[hardy dune]

betting your chances on finding stalkers with no headgear is akin to hoping 6pseudodogs not eating your ass while looking at inventory

not impossible but not frequent in any case

[crystal kernel]

is there a mod to give monolith a storyline

[graceful iron]

not in gamma, try asking in #old-suggest or #🔨modded-gamma-support instead

[ornate salmon]

grok why rain so loud :(

[crystal kernel]

i assume if they exist they wont be compatible with gamma

[calm tangle]

Believe me I agree.

[ornate salmon]

my only problem with gamma...why rain so loud mayn?

:(

[calm tangle]

can’t discount the amount of people that might take it literally and never use 45ACP, even if it can save em tho.

[dense pawn]

Looking for some direction for a Mercenary playthrough. Seems to be that all the areas around dead city have deadly radiation that becomes problematic. Just need a nudge in the right direction so I can get on the grind, where to start etc.

[ornate salmon]

radioprotectants first thing you pick up in the starting loadout

doesnt matter what progression difficulty ur playing on

[dense pawn]

Time for a new game. 😩

[graceful iron]

try checking the in-game manual in the pda. always start with the starting gasmask and start doing missions and making money, if you start north go a bit further south to be able to survive the radiation better until you get a better gasmask and get it repaired. meds and smokes are very useful against rads so keep those close

[hardy dune]

thats my problem with 45 too , I like the guns a lot but... its sort of easier to just use hp rounds of a gun that has access to AP and can quickly swap it , and if you want to make use of better flesh dmg , you would simply use an auto rifle with hp

[dense pawn]

What's the best starting location since I'm starting a new game?

[graceful iron]

as a merc? dead city is the best place

i have done my last merc run there and the starting conditions couldnt be better for a merc, army warehouses close with good chances for advanced toolkits and access to good loot from monolith and duty. going south through the new(safe) transition to yantar to get started with ecologists missions and then heading further south to swamp to meet the doc and clear sky

[dense pawn]

You suggest starting with going south?

[graceful iron]

personally yes. for the first 3 days you can go south and do missions and then go back to dead city

[dense pawn]

I've only played CoP, not sure where to find the doc and clear sky. Ecologists should be easy enough.

[graceful iron]

you can talk to the faction's leader to get the missions markers, he will tell you where the doc is

[dense pawn]

Is he in Yantar?

[graceful iron]

the doc? no he is in swamps

[dense pawn]

Ah gotcha

Also, what detector/device is worth investing that may reduce the amount of times I blindly walk into anomalies? Not sure what the progression in that regard.

[tidal raft]

Your eyes and ears.

[hoary veldt]

The only detector that'll stop you from walking into an anomaly is the Svarog, but that requires Expert Tools

Your best detector until then, as Aldo said, are your eyes and ears

If you're in a known anomalous zone, take it slow and try not to rush

And if you're in Red Forest where there's a ton of anomalies and you find a group of rock lickers, then there's no shame in running away

[dense pawn]

Resist the urge to constantly run around like a headless chicken, got it.

[tidal raft]

In that case you'd have to tape down the Ctrl-key at all times.

[hoary veldt]

Pretty much, unless you get a Svarog or are confident in your anomaly dodging ability

[hoary veldt]

T-tape down my Ctrl-key? Psh, I would never

[tidal raft]

[dense pawn]

Ah right, how do I survive the psy-emissions to get through Yantar? 🤔

[hoary veldt]

Ah, don't use that road

[dense pawn]

Ooohhh

[hoary veldt]

There's a new transition point at the corner of Dead City, over to the West

Now granted there's often an anomaly field/mutant/rad pocket there

[tidal raft]

Merc moment.

[hoary veldt]

But that entrance is infinitely safer until you can talk to Sakharov and get a Psy-Helmet

[dense pawn]

👍

[hoary veldt]

The things I do just because I fly to fly black and blue...

[tidal raft]

Only to return black and blue.

[digital latch]

I got an rf stash in northeatern garbage I cant find for the life of me. The beeping tells me its somewhere at the grvael pit near the flea market but I cant find anything

[hoary veldt]

Try to hold down F as you walk around, helps you find it better

[graceful iron]

its a loose item on the ground, hold f and look around

[hoary veldt]

Also if you have Lamp perk artifact, it makes finding them a breeze

[grave canopy]

how do i complete this quest? there is this one clear sky guy but he wont talk to me

i killed all monolith unit where the marker is

[hoary veldt]

The actual monolith that are related to the quest don't spawn near the marker

They're in a nearby apartment bloc somewhere over to the... north, iirc?

Either way, they're in a building nearby

[north turret]

Do seva suits have a specific material for them?

[hoary veldt]

Specific to them? Not as far as I know, no

The only thing that has something specific to them are obviously exoskeleton frames

[graceful iron]

you can check their components in the details

[north turret]

I’m not on my pc right now but I repaired my seva suit and I’m missing one material to get it to 100% but haven’t another one during my playthrough so far

Found*

[hoary veldt]

You don't have to get every part to 100% if that's what you're doing to get them repaired

Get to the breakpoints of 65%, 75% or 85% respectively and use a heavy, medium, or basic sewing kit

[graceful iron]

you can use the repair kit or sewing kits if the armor is already above 50%

[tidal raft]

#╭📖faq see APART-outfits

[north turret]

Alright thank you

[graceful iron]

see #╭📖faq if you have not already, aldourien made a detailed tutorial to repairing guns and outfits

[hoary veldt]

Check FAQs first

If they don't answer your question, head over here

[digital latch]

I still cant find it

[hoary veldt]

Have you checked inside of bushes, debris, and what not?

[graceful iron]

they are usually well hidden

[digital latch]

I did

[hoary veldt]

If you can afford it, walk away and try to find a Lamp

It'll make finding the RF infinitely easier

[north turret]

I was doing this haha I’ve hoarded way too many materials 😂

[hoary veldt]

[digital latch]

I was hoping somebody here has found that package already and can help me out but I guess I just keep searching then

[torn horizon]

is this guys helmet supposed to be chrome?

[crystal kernel]

banan

[willow hawk]

Bug with thm or normal maps for that model

[hoary veldt]

RFs are well hidden and nobody has a real map for them, so unfortunately you'll have to try and get them to the best of your personal ability

[torn horizon]

ah ok thanks

[digital latch]

found it, it was in the middle of the grass

about 4m away from a pile of rocks

[hoary veldt]

I guess some of them aren't as well hidden as I thought

[warm cradle]

is there any way to get the artefact melter without having to go to the ecologists

[hoary veldt]

Not as far as I know

If you can't get it from Sakharov try Hermann at Yanov

[ornate salmon]

using console doesnt mess with the requirements of invictus

right?

reason for using console is cfg_load grading

also how do i revert enhanced shaders changes?

[agile dune]

Is there a way to fix the scroll speed in the inventory for me it's super slow.

[brisk zinc]

Don't alt-tab

If you need to alt-tab, don't do it in game

Do it in the menu

Press Esc, alt-tab there

[agile dune]

Gotcha

[lusty kestrel]

Hey, I have a question, what mod and configs should I tweak to reduce the effects of radiation? Right now I find it is way too overtuned, killing me in 1 minute at about 1/3rd of the radiation bar just by walking around cordon with a gas mask. I want to change radiation so that it kills me more slowly

[plain flume]

Question guys. Night vision stuff. I have first tier of NVGs but they aren't working. I hear the on/off sound but that's it

[brisk zinc]

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma
Press N, not M

[plain flume]

Ahh, thank you very much

[novel dune]

are magazines enabled by default?

[graceful iron]

no, you can enable them in the optional separator

[novel dune]

can i do that mid game or does it require new game ?

[hoary veldt]

You can do it mid-game but you can't disable it afterwards

[graceful iron]

it can be enabled on an existing save but you cant remove it from that save

[north turret]

Hello! I played for 2 weeks now, legend level AND enemies seem to not see me anymore(I cheese- shot through them, no specific reaction/fire.) Do anybody have this problem, please?

[brisk zinc]

Did you used debug mode for something?

[magic reef]

i have a problem. 190.000 cash but nothing to spend on it due to bad part and toolbox rng ! Ironman hard surv

[north turret]

No

[willow hawk]

Buy stashes in the north ?

Buy ammo ?

Buy better healing gear ?

Stop farming tasks and buy the psy helmet to go North ?

Get 5 basic kit and craft an advanced one ?

[magic reef]

cant, no armor and starter svd can just hang around in garbage, swamp, cordron to be safe

[willow hawk]

No basic toolkit ?

And 190k RU ?

[magic reef]

yeah 2

[graceful iron]

... how many stashes have you gotten ?

[willow hawk]

Get more stashes

Easy

Kill people loot them, do tasks, get the stashes

[hoary veldt]

Oh hey, quick question Grok. Are the rad coughs supposed to cause limb damage again or is that intended now?

[north turret]

I have not use debug. Any solution please?

[magic reef]

have lots of marked stashed but they are agroprom, dark valey, city and other areas Ironmen dont go without armor and good weapon 🙂

[willow hawk]

No it's not intended

[hoary veldt]

Gotta do some quick testing then

I think they might do limb damage again

[graceful iron]

ironman or not, its easy if you have enough knowledge of the game

you have to get stashes and take risks to get toolkits

[willow hawk]

That's the thing with gamma dude

Without going further north, you'll always have bad gear

[magic reef]

yeah beforehand knowledge on enemy positions areas etc is valuable but i never get further. I hit this wall everytime and i venture to far and have to restart!

[willow hawk]

And stack roubles without being able to "buy power"

[hoary veldt]

Stashes have a chance to contain decent midgame armor like faction SEVAs and what not

[willow hawk]

Don't play ironman without knowing the game...

[hoary veldt]

Highly recommend you nab one, stash it, and repair it

[willow hawk]

I told you that already

[hidden bloom]

tbh it was way too simple in vanilla

[hoary veldt]

It'll take it you to the north

[magic reef]

maybe its worth it to just sprint to limansk directly from new game and snipe some enemies for parts?

[willow hawk]

So don't complain @magic reef

[hidden bloom]

you could get a nosorog even if you only staid in cordon

[hoary veldt]

At least in GAMMA you actually have a reason to spend your damn rubles instead of hoarding them

[hidden bloom]

made ironman a bit too easy

[magic reef]

no problem i like it. Gamma is great thats why i play it and no other mods 🙂

[willow hawk]

Early Limansk raid are a pain in the ass if you don't know what you are doing lol

Ennemies literally one shot you

[hoary veldt]

I wouldn't try it 'till you get some sort of AP rounds

[graceful iron]

please play on a non-ironman run on medium scavenger to learn the game mechanics first. doing the same thing (restarting ironman) is insanity

[hoary veldt]

The Monolith use AP in there and you're basically naked unless you have an armor with a decent BR class

[hidden bloom]

it's the roguelike experience

i like playing that way

[magic reef]

nah, i am stuck in IM. I learn more and more with every run. Its like a rouge type of game this way hehe

[graceful iron]

not with absolutely no game knowledge i play gamma ironman but only after playing a few non ironman runs

[willow hawk]

Well there's a rogue lite add-on in GAMMA

[hidden bloom]

when i get to downloading it i'll start out with ironman

[hoary veldt]

and then you come complain that the game is too hard right

[hidden bloom]

nno, that's the point, dying is fun

[graceful iron]

restarting a few times is fun, but with a minimal level of knowledge you will find yourself restarting way too many times it becomes annoying ...

[hoary veldt]

I know, I was making a joke

[hidden bloom]

[willow hawk]

Considering the progression of gamma, doing ironman runs over and over will make you miss out a lot of the content

[fiery blade]

Hi everyone.. do we know if helicopter patrols are going to remain disabled for the foreseeable future?

[hoary veldt]

You can re-enable them if you want

[graceful iron]

you can just enable them?

[hidden bloom]

eh, what about doing it with 5 lives + 1 per 24 hours?

[fiery blade]

It doesn't work.

[willow hawk]

Yes

[hidden bloom]

thats what i usually do if i want the excitement without it being too harsh

[magic reef]

i think i have good knowledge of the mechanics and enemy ai. But I lack foresight of which areas to go to and be safe

[fiery blade]

Thanks Grok.

[willow hawk]

Completely doable 👍

But as I said, usually even after 19 days you are still gearing up

[hoary veldt]

Unless you're going for Invictus, IMO that's the way to go

[hidden bloom]

invictus is boring to get tbh

[hoary veldt]

You can die super easily to a lot of stuff early game and you kinda need the lives

[magic reef]

for example agroprom is really dangerous for loner entrance from garbage. I die there everytime from enemy attack on the left hill at the entrance. Dont know if it is military, bandit or mercenary

[hoary veldt]

I wanted it at one point for the internet clout, but I didn't wanna wake up in a cold sweat having a nightmare about being domed by a Monolith with a Barret and losing the run

[hoary veldt]

The military base is in Agroprom so

I wouldn't go there unless you can't help it and if you do, avoid the south-west area

Plus mercs tend to wander in there sometimes so

If you need to get to Yantar, take the Wild Territory route

[magic reef]

yeah that quick route garbage, wild then yantar i have travelled its safe

[hidden bloom]

garbage always makes me a bit uneasy early game, sometimes military death squads roam around there

[magic reef]

i found vintorez, svd from proffesionel military I just shot in garbage 🙂

[hidden bloom]

i once found a >50% exo on a military guy there, it made my whole run

but that wasn't gamma of course :s

[brisk zinc]

I seriously don't know, it's the first time I read something like this

[hidden bloom]

i know it can happen with the stealth addon

or if m_stalker.ltx gets overwritten

[lean pumice]

Does anyone knows how to turn on lasers and flashlights on guns?

[brisk zinc]

Long press L, check #│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[graceful iron]

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma hold L, the flashlight is just a model

[lean pumice]

Im so dumb

Thx guys

[magic reef]

all with starter sks and basically no armor 🙂 IM and 99% solo no companions

[north turret]

Indeed, stealth addon is enabled. I will disable it and post here the effect. Thank you

[graceful iron]

9 stashes?

[magic reef]

yeah, looted. But many marked

[graceful iron]

then go get them

[magic reef]

hehe, yeah i need to be brave. But many are in agroprom

[graceful iron]

you have so much money, buy more stashes and hope they spawn in cordon or something

sidorovich and spore sell stash locations

[magic reef]

yeah thats one way.

funny thing is this run started with 2 chimeras chasing me in cordron i out manouvered them into rookie village and survived 🙂

[mortal flame]

when you start to think like DS player, you will run at chimeras naked with axe and win

only plates are disabled from traders now, or all attachments?

[graceful iron]

only plates

[plush pewter]

if I use the APS kit to upgrade an APS, it says it comes with a threaded barrel that I can then use to attach an APS silencer on it, but it won't let me

[north turret]

No changes when Stealth addon is disabled, enemies don`t see me:-(

[slow fox]

This is great actually, shows what you are doing is working

[sour sparrow]

I'm working up the guts to try this but I'm on Ironman 😬 Axing through bandit and Merc squads is my favourite pastime

[ornate salmon]

my game crashes and gives me one of those gpu timeout annoying ass messages whenever i go close to the clear sky mechanic's little place

any ideas?

this didnt happen at all before btw

[graceful iron]

make sure its the correct APS pistol and the correct kit and suppressor, there are 2 APS pistols and only one of them takes the kit

[north turret]

is unsig bugged from players right now

[graceful iron]

no?

[hoary veldt]

Define bugged?

[north turret]

type isg in menu and it bugs out for me, crashing me to desktop

i haven't updated today though, so that may be why.

[graceful iron]

updates shouldnt cause issues, even not updating

updates are always optional

[north turret]

i gotcha. it was weird though, tried to remove the optional mod that makes campfires mandatory and my game also crashes at startup

[graceful iron]

see #╭📖faq for the campfire saving mod

[rustic halo]

I can't transition from the army warehouses back to rostok, the screen will fade to black and then go black to normal gameplay a second later, any ideas?

[hoary veldt]

Save and reload, see if that does anything

[rustic halo]

that worked, thankfully theres a campfire right there, embarrassed I didn't think to do that before asking, thanks.

[azure jetty]

Hey, freshly installed the mod not too long ago, walked around in Cordon and my character randomly starts coughing and losing a chunk of health, gas anomaly?

[hoary veldt]

No sir, that’s our old friend radiation

It’s now something to actually be concerned about

[azure jetty]

I can't exactly go buy a gas mask, any ideas? Loot one off an unfortunate stalker?

[quiet willow]

Stock up on the green pills

[hoary veldt]

Radioprotectant is your friend

[quiet willow]

They give anti rad for 5 minutes and have 3 charges

[hoary veldt]

And try to stick to the south or smoke cigs

They have a faster animation now

[azure jetty]

Well, alright, thanks @quiet willow @hoary veldt

[hoary veldt]

[willow hawk]

Can't play ISG and warfare

[north turret]

thank you

[gaunt flare]

can i play gamma on dx9?

my pc not work rly high fps on dx11

its round 20 fps and on dx9 is like 40

[gaunt flare]

thanks

[spring hamlet]

playing at night or low light conditions seems to give a weird washed out dark spots. if feels like its not dark but grey on some areas just like if gamma settings are set incorrectly... is it normal?

[modern fern]

Do anomalies when in close proximity cause slight screen shaking?

[willow hawk]

Depends on the moon phase weather type of night etc

[spring hamlet]

but is it the same for indoors and underground? i will try to get a better image...

here its better to see the effect that i am trying to explain.

[willow hawk]

Whats the problem ?

Perhaps it's the Dynamic Tonemapping parameters

But honestly you can't really see shit

Which is the whole point

[visual rampart]

here an odd visual bug, I've been playing gamma for 3 days and not seen this, tried reapplying the glossy/white ground fix in the troubleshooting in case it was related but to no avail

by not seen this, I mean I booted the game up and now its happening

[willow hawk]

Can happen

2005 engine, what are you expecting

[spring hamlet]

going to try that

[willow hawk]

It will fuck the shadows at other times most likely

[visual rampart]

hmm only seems to happen in rostok and rostok entrance in garbage and pretty sure just after an emission so its possible I just haven't noticed it til now

[quiet rock]

hello guys i have a question. i want to restore some weapon parts to a better state, i checked the details screen and it needs a kit and one tool. Thing is i have both and i can't repair the part

right clicking or dragging to the part does nothing

[brisk zinc]

I guess it's because that part have "bad" condition

There is a certain limit you can't go down when it comes to condition

I suggest to read APART #╭📖faq

[quiet rock]

ahhh, that must be it. i would need to find a gun in better state then take the parts i need

[brisk zinc]

Basically, yes

When you find those parts, you'll need to restore them, using specific tools

Like I said you can go in #╭📖faq and read APART, it's a well written guide on how to repair and maintain stuff, for weapons and armors

[quiet rock]

thank you very much Falco

[regal surge]

How do I remove a weapon's barrel to clean It ?

[brisk zinc]

You can't remove it

IIRC you need to use a cleaning kit of some sort

You right click on the gun, maintain part, choose the barrel, done

Or, you can directly replace the barrel with a better one

[regal surge]

Oh thanks

[quiet willow]

Can't you field strip a barrel?

[brisk zinc]

Head to #╭📖faq and read APART, it's an extensive guide on how to repair and maintain stuff, for weapons and armors

[brisk zinc]

Nope

You need to dismantle the gun in order to get the barrel

[errant yoke]

Hey can anyone else get the teleport AI companion bind to work? its not working for me

[brisk zinc]

Did you enable the mod?

[tidal raft]

Did you activate it in MO2?

[errant yoke]

Oh its not activated by default 😮

[brisk zinc]

Nope, it's disabled by default because there is a little "immersion breaking" bug, basically you can teleport to yourself "rescue mission targets" without even talking to them, you just need to be in the same map

The key is J

[errant yoke]

Thanks I saw it in keybindings so I just assumed i had it already

[limber shard]

Ive collected 3 artifacts for the scientist in the great swamps, he wants to send me to the next scientist "pirogov" but he is probably dead because the task instantly fails. Can i somehow revive him before accepting the task?

[brisk zinc]

I don't know if using debug mode can solve this one, like, bringing him back to life, I don't even know if something like that is possible (it should be)

A safe method would be to load an early save where you know for sure he's alive

[limber shard]

never met him, no idea when he died or where he is even supposed to be

[brisk zinc]

IIRC it should be in the old church in Great Swamps

[limber shard]

dr kovalev is in the church and gives me the task to find pirogov. Could reviving be possible via commands?

[limber shard]

yeah the f7 menu didnt do much for me but thanks anyway

[brisk zinc]

I think I know where he is and I'm almost sure you can revive him, I need to check the menu, I can't right now

But even if you could, there's a possibility that you won't get the quest

This is way I suggested to reload to a previous save, if you have it

You can just forget that quest, it's a simple "go to A and then bring me those artefacts", it's boring

[errant yoke]

Just saw this question this youtube vid might help you @limber shard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDncaHhbayk

No, you only fail them if the quest giver dies.

xenotech is generally against bandits, right? so does that m ean if I come in with a different patch he'd be fine with me?

[brisk zinc]

Yes, Loners are against bandits
Since Xenotech is a Loner as well, as long you go in with a friendly faction patch, you should be alright

[summer bobcat]

Anyone know some proper settings for the disguise system?

[topaz coyote]

Cool thank you 😊

[graceful iron]

its already tweaked in gamma

if the suit is really damaged you will be easily discovered

[summer bobcat]

people are spotting me from 2 miles away lol

[graceful iron]

check the settings? are they gamma defaults or did you change them?

[summer bobcat]

but i will see its about half condition. duty just has really good eyes i guess

default

[winter drum]

Is it normal for only one companion to accompany me underground?

[brisk zinc]

Companions AI doesn't work well underground, it's already a miracle that only one of them followed you

[winter drum]

Lol i guess its fine if they dont all want to come, but they should just make their way back to me when i get above ground right? the missing ones have empty health bars but they havent dissapeared like dead companion icons usually do

[brisk zinc]

Yes when you get out they should be there waiting for you, if you leave from where you came in

[spiral basin]

how do I prevent over sleeping ?

i try to sleep for 5-8 hours and always end up sleeping for 10+ hours

[brisk zinc]

Sleep less

A bed roll helps to sleep better, I suggest to get that and one sleeping bag

It's a good combo

Don't sleep on "beds", use a sleeping bag + a bed roll, you just need to have it in your inventory (the bed roll)

[spiral basin]

okay sweet thank u heaps

[brisk zinc]

You can also use tents

But I don't know how that work

Sleeping bag + bed roll it's 100% good for sleeping

[old moth]

I noticed that the SVDS with a scope does not allow me to zoom in, is this intentional?

If unintentional, is there any way to have zoom on the scopes when using the SVDS

[graceful iron]

some scopes still zoom, try a different one. its not intended

[old moth]

I've tried different scopes on it

Even scopes that normally zoom on the regular SVD

Someone mentioned dual rendering scopes possibly causing the issue, but even the guns that have working zoom appear to have dual rendered scopes

[graceful iron]

what? no this issue is just something with adjustable scopes addon

not sure what, but it could be an overwrite or a bug

[old moth]

I don't believe the SVDS is in the base mod, is that right?

[graceful iron]

no, its from BaS

[old moth]

Could it be a compatibility issue of that mod with adjustable scopes?

[graceful iron]

but some of the other weapons from that addon work with adjustable scopes, its really a gun model/gun with scope model thing i believe

[old moth]

Oh, I see

Oh well, I mean, it would have been nice to have the zoom, but I guess that's fine

[sterile berry]

how do i restore certain weapon components for example ive got an mp5 gas tube i want to repair and i have one of the compatible repair kits

but i cant figure out how to do it

[brisk zinc]

#╭📖faq

We have an estensive guide on repairing and maintaing guns and armors

[twilit bloom]

Can you craft Expert Tools like you can with Advanced Tools? I'm guessing not right?

[brisk zinc]

I can't check right now but I don't think so, no

[graceful iron]

no. advanced tools is craftable because it unlocks a huge amount of progression and sometimes its hard to find because of RNG

[north turret]

Do I need to restart my game if I want to enable the EFT mag mod?

Or can I just go in debug mode, and give myself magazines

[graceful iron]

you can enable the addon mid playthrough, but you cant disable it for that save after

[north turret]

Got it, any reasons I should or shouldn't use it?

Or any optional mods you suggest?

I saw that the death animations one might be cool

[graceful iron]

mags does add quite a bit of micro management and apparently it ends up giving way too much ammo in loot, but you can use it just fine

[north turret]

It adds more ammo?

I mean with the amount of barely any ammo in the game, it would make more sense for stalkers to have way more amo

ammo

[graceful iron]

remember: balance > realism

[north turret]

Hmmm

Best question, how do I disable the shift i throwing your backpack off keybind

I absolutely hate it

[graceful iron]

disable this addon, or just dont press shift while in the inventory ?

[north turret]

The ms delay is weird, and whenever I run and stop, I have to wait a second to press I or else I end up dropping the backpack

[graceful iron]

oh ok. so it can cause that quite easily

[north turret]

How bad is the ammo amount with EFT mags?

and do I have to disable anything in conjuction?

[graceful iron]

its not too bad. you dont need to disable anything

[north turret]

Alrighty, I appreciate your help cat

[orchid lava]

Are the requirements similar to EFP?

[graceful iron]

no. but if you have a potato you can check #old-framerate-optimisation

[orchid lava]

EFP runs at 70 fps, so I wanted to ask

[north turret]

Ah shit forgot to ask, to traders sell mags?

[graceful iron]

yes

[north turret]

Which ones, since I just check Sidorivich, and he didn't have any, or do I have to wait for the next shipment cycle

[graceful iron]

you have to wait for them to restock

[orchid lava]

gamma includes additional story content?

[graceful iron]

#│📚manual additional storylines addon

[half field]

do artifacts durability go down based on time equipped or as their effect is used

also what are you supposed to do with ones you loot from other stalkers that have low durability? dont have a suit good enough to mitigate the rads and cant sell them so not sure what to do

[graceful iron]

only perk based artefacts (junk) degrade and they only degrade when equipped

[half field]

ah gotcha so if i just have one equipped for long enough without being in a situation where its being utilized itll just waste it

[graceful iron]

all radioactive artefacts are supposed to spawn on low condition and you can empower them(repair) with an artefact melter

[half field]

ohhh empowering is repair. ok that makes sense

[graceful iron]

yes. i think they also degrade faster when their perk is being actively used

[half field]

once again thanks so much ❤️

[wise sparrow]

You can also change the decay rate in the mcm if it’s too fast for your liking.

[serene cedar]

I presume laser sights are purchased rather than on the weapon, correct? I picked up an Ecologist's kit USP Match Tactical and want to make sure.

I'm not familiar with BaS so I want to make sure about the details.

[graceful iron]

laser sights are included in the tactical kits you buy from traders

sometimes its possible to find a gun with the tactical kit already installed

[wary field]

When playing as monolith can I disguise myself as another faction?

[serene cedar]

Ok, I'll try it out. Yeah, this one was already installed.

[north turret]

Unsure if I should ask this in loadout or here, but I was wondering if I should change from my base sks to my SOCOM rail sks by buying a historic rifle kit at 15k while I have 39k

I still have a ton of quests to turn in at Rostok regardless, and I'm repairing at Cordon

[wise sparrow]

Its damage is the same it just has a much better fire rate and mag size as well as supporting better optics.

[north turret]

I also have an AK-12 with almost all the replacement parts, but no army rifle kit

2016 one

[old moth]

Well, game is crashing when entering Zaton

[willow hawk]

For most people gamma runs the same or better

[graceful plaza]

I am having a crash in the same location after I leave the Rookie Village, I know if asked to post the log do I just attach it to my message?

[ornate salmon]

im still wondering why my game crashes when i go close to the place the cs technician is in

[willow hawk]

Playing Warfare ?

[old moth]

Storyline

[willow hawk]

When going to Zaton you crash with a stack trace ?

Using Mags or extra add-ons ?

[old moth]

SVDS with scope and silencer, assault with scope silencer and granade

[willow hawk]

I mean, do you use the Mags add-on?

[old moth]

It crashes when I move past a certain point

Nope

[willow hawk]

Ok

[old moth]

Wait

Let me check actually

[willow hawk]

Can you send me the log after crashing ?

So you can enter the map but it crashes after some time spent in the map right ?

[old moth]

yeah thats right

how can i get the log

[willow hawk]

[north turret]

is there a jam mechanic in this modpack? or is it just me cus i cant seem to fire my gun

[lapis silo]

#│📚manual press Z to unjam

[north turret]

ah thanks strelok

[lapis silo]

[spice wedge]

is there any way to adjust weapon damage? I turned up the bullet hit factor in-game, but it still takes more shots to kill enemies then id like

[old moth]

@willow hawk

[willow hawk]

That kind of issue is related usually to weird ammo loaded in NPC guns

Or some other weird shit :(

It's really hard to debug. You can try F7 Menu > Remove random Stalker squads. This will "empty" the zone a little bit and it should fix your problem. After a few days the zone should be filled by stalkers again and no more crash

You don't use the Mags Redux addon right ?

[lapis silo]

There is a setting called "Power" or "Hit Modifier" in the Vanilla settings, that increases the damage dealt by you. You can try that

[willow hawk]

That issue was happening on old saves when I switch MP7 ammo to 5.7 instead of 9x19 for instance

But I didn't change ammo on any gun since a long time

[old moth]

Nope

[willow hawk]

One issue could be the addition of the 7.62x39 Groza in NPC loadouts maybe

[graceful plaza]

I know I posted bit before, but got my log added to this one. Crashing after leaving rookie village in the cordon, same spot multiple times. No addition addons, fresh install.

[lapis silo]

Also #╭📖faq second to last message

[willow hawk]

#│🔧troubleshooting AMD GPU

[spice wedge]

yea I maxed out the hit factor under the vanilla settings but some enemies can tank a whole AK mag and several shotgun blasts and keep going. I dont know if its an armor thing or what

[graceful plaza]

Ill give that a shot, I somehow missed that in troubleshooting.... probably went scrolling too fast. Thank Grok.

[lapis silo]

Gun with bad barrel, you have to fix it first. Also, buckshot does almost no damage against stalkers. Maybe a Bandit but Mercs wont get damaged byit

Aim for the legs or the eyes, as those spots specifically have a lower armor value than other body parts

https://discordapp.com/channels/912320241713958912/976570969768476753/978759252778819644

[spice wedge]

alright Ill check my guns out and give some other ammo types a try. Thanks

[old moth]

Remove random stalker squads?

i dont see that in f7

i see remove all squads, but that kills most people on the map, i hit it and it did solve the issue though

[willow hawk]

Yes there's remove all and another One

Remove dynamic squads or something

[old moth]

oh ok, let me look for something along those lines then

thank you

[willow hawk]

One deletes ALL squads, and another one removes only random squads or something

Can't remember the name right now and I'm afk

[old moth]

nah its good

i really appreciate the help

[willow hawk]

As I said the zone will be dead for a few days but it'll be filled again after a few days

[old moth]

mod is great btw, ive tried others, and keep coming back to this one

[willow hawk]

Hit that button and sleep for 48h

Should be good

I'll remove the nimble Groza

I'm pretty sure that's the problem

[old moth]

it said clear common squads

i hit that, still crashes

however clearing all squads doesnt crash it

[plush pewter]

What's an idiot proof way to get basic tools?

Do the rf receiver missions grant one randomly? I've ran up and down cordon and garbage all day no tools haha

[willow hawk]

Dang it... Can you send me your save ?

I'll make some scripts to scan NPCs inventory and print their content and investigate that. Thanks 🙏

[limpid seal]

Hi everyone! I have a small problem with the BaS laser sights - I can't seem to see the laser dot whenever i'm using the NVGs - but I can see them just fine when I'm not using them. This is a little bit of a problem for me as I'm trying to only use laser sights when I'm using NVGs as one would in real life. I've only tested this with the gen 3 NVGs.

I also prefer the ?vanilla? BaS red laser sight as it is larger, but disabling the CLAD Laser sight mod doesn't seem to revert it back to the default. Could someone help me with this? I have a (mostly) fresh install. Didn't mess with any reshades.

[limpid seal]

As y'all can see, I can only see the laser sight with NVGs if I'm standing right against a wall.

[magic reef]

anyone having issue with despawning killed enemies? just took 5 min for them to disappear from ground! No time to go back and loot after fight

[visual flicker]

are all guns from debug available IG?

[ornate salmon]

#📎to-do message

[ornate salmon]

you can spawn in anything from debug

[visual flicker]

Yea, I just checked out some guns that have integrated laser sight (HK MK23) but can't turn on the laser sight (hold-L)

So I wonder if its because I am not supposed to find em IG or because they are unfinished

[limpid seal]

ahh mb. I used the search function to try to find an answer but didn't see that post. Thank you!

[ornate salmon]

np

[obtuse osprey]

Hey I have a question!
Is there a way to have all stashes still spawn loot but have their loot be generally bad but when the stash is actually marked have the loot be good?

[opal haven]

is there a way to check your magazine in default gamma settings?

and current firemode

[limpid seal]

do you happen to know if there is a way to get the default BaS red laser back? Disabling C.L.A.D didn't work.

[ornate salmon]

in-game MCM keybinds and #│💻keybinds-in-gamma

for ammo check in the mcm theres an "ammo check" mod

keybinds there

[ornate salmon]

no, and i wont bother

[limpid seal]

The default keybind for check magazine is Shift+F, and current firemode is in your health HUD in the left corner (A for full-auto, 1 for single shot, 3 for burst)

[limpid seal]

ah okay. thank you for the assist!

[ornate salmon]

you can try asking someone else

i really wont bother trying to get back the red laser

[limpid seal]

what's up with red laser? it's a lil immersion breaking but the larger size makes it easier to aim IMO hahaha

[ornate salmon]

im just annoyed that the size of it doesnt change based on distance

[opal haven]

firemode suppose to appear when i check my ammo? Because i can't see it in the hud.

[limpid seal]

yeah that's what i was talking about. the C.L.A.D laser isn't that much better for me tho - it stays small right until you stand right against a wall and its suddenly huge. at least the default laser is consistently useable

[limpid seal]

try this with a gun that has firemodes, like an AK or AR-15

[opal haven]

This is APS. Has 2 firemodes, auto and single

[limpid seal]

whoops. didn't use the APS so.

[opal haven]

and I've been trying for 30 minutes to find the section of this addon in the MCM menu or proper bind in MCM bindings.

"shift+f" i mean

[limpid seal]

yeah for my game it's on the left corner.

[limpid seal]

and here's the MCM option for ammo check.

[opal haven]

but... why?

i installed it week ago, it can't be that i'm have outdated version

and framerate optimization doesn't affect HUD addons, right?

[limpid seal]

you have to enable mag redux for the ammo check. it's an optional mod by default. keep in mind this'll mean you will have to use the magazine system tho.

[willow hawk]

#📎to-do

[willow hawk]

That's if you kill too many of them

[limpid seal]

thanks Grok! I love this modpack btw (and this is from someone who was playing EFP), so thank you for taking the time to put it together!

[willow hawk]

Check clad replaced files by gamma add-ons

[limpid seal]

these files? apologies in advance if I'm checking it wrong - still semi-new to modding in general and trying to figure stuff out.

[willow hawk]

GAMMA scopes radius ones

[bold vigil]

Is there a way to disable the new character sounds?

[limpid seal]

Okay - let me see if I have this right. Should I delete the overwritten files and replace them by running the update function on the G.A.M.M.A installer?

[willow hawk]

English voice ?

[bold vigil]

No just grunting sounds and such

i don't even know what addon changes them

[willow hawk]

Body health system

And voiced actor

[opal haven]

but firemode check should be by default without this addon, right?

that's my main problem now, can't figure out why it's not showing

[obtuse osprey]

Hey I have a question!
Is there a way to have all stashes still spawn loot but have their loot be generally bad but when the stash is actually marked have the loot be good?

[willow hawk]

Gotta edit tons of files

[obtuse osprey]

So there's no easy option for changing it?
Because it just feels meh having a boxes have nothing in them, just allowing them to have some loot even if bad would make it better in my opinion

[willow hawk]

No

This promotes taking 0 risk to get loot

[north turret]

Does weapon condition have any effect on companions?

[willow hawk]

And promotes meta knowledge of the stashes locations

[opal haven]

okay, when i turned on "show HUD" in game menu, firemode appeared how it should be, but now i see current ammo near firemode also. something tells me it shouldn't be like this

[willow hawk]

Which is dumb as fuck because you just run from stash to stash without picking fights

[willow hawk]

Not really

Changes a bit how they jam

[obtuse osprey]

I know you gotta dance the line with not just giving people loot for free, but having the stashes have really bad loot would make it not variable as a stash run strat, but more of an extra small income then out and about.

[north turret]

Good to know, just saw my companion shoot everywhere but not at the enemy and thought it might have something to do with the 0% as val lol

[obtuse osprey]

Just feels really weird / not good in my opinion having all boxes you look into have nothing in them.

[willow hawk]

There's already a low change of stashes to contain single items very rarely

[willow hawk]

Just don't look for boxes, easy strat

It's fucking boring anyway

Hunt artefacts instead

Play stalker you know

[obtuse osprey]

I don't look for them, i just find them everywhere and then i try to take a look there's nothing...

[opal haven]

can you please check if you have checkbox on this option?

[willow hawk]

Sometimes there's something

[obtuse osprey]

Wasn't it a 1% chance?

[willow hawk]

And you can increase that in ZCP

And happily break the balance I work on daily

[obtuse osprey]

Its what modding is for 😉 😛

For that personalized experience

A creator always has to hate a bit on the player that breaks their stuff

[willow hawk]

"Personalized experience" is simply garbage imo

Do you need to personalize Dark Souls or Bloodborne to be good ?

[craggy laurel]

were the lab 19(radar) documents moved? I can't find them in their usual place

[obtuse osprey]

I could if I wanted to probably

[willow hawk]

Customization without proper balance in the first place is what killed CoC, Misery and Anomaly for years

[opal haven]

@willow hawk any thoughts about my situation?

[willow hawk]

Don't use mags easy fix

[obtuse osprey]

Yeah but in the end its all about what the player wants, if a player wants to have casual experience and not wanna grind too much, they can customise their experience

That's what modding is all about ;P

Atleast in my opinion

[willow hawk]

They can play easy tourist

[obtuse osprey]

Or more hardcore depends on the player

[willow hawk]

You can customize stash content in ZCP anyways

But "customizing" something that is already customized to the bone without even trying it fully is just dumb

[obtuse osprey]

Had a look in the config of that, didn't see quite the unmarked stash chance

[willow hawk]

It's just stash chance

Stash extra loot or something

And untick stalker spawn extra item for the sake of balance

And don't enable repair kit or toolkits for the love of god

Anyways, do whatever you want and fuck up your experience

[craggy laurel]

could use some help here. Is it possible a grenade I threw fucked them to kingdom come?

[obtuse osprey]

Look I don't wanna ruin the good work you put into this mod pack, I think its a really interesting take on Stalker, but I'm also pressed a bit on time so i don't want the experience to be too grindy either 😃

[willow hawk]

Then play with easier progression

Or increase chance for good parts

Gamma isn't grindy

[opal haven]

there is no such addon or any option with "easy" in its name.

[willow hawk]

It just spans over 20+ days usually

[abstract void]

I find grind annoying usually. But that changes when the game is something like dark souls or Stalker

[opal haven]

well there is actually, but nothing about mags

[abstract void]

I dislike difficulty for the sake of difficulty but find challenges and games that reward exploring fun.

[brisk zinc]

"Don't use mags, easy fix"

Grok missed a , in there

[obtuse osprey]

Well thanks for the info Grok, will try to not "Ruin" your mod pack with too many changes 😉 🔨

[willow hawk]

It's just about your experience

Most people don't know what's good for them when tweaking values for such a complex game

[willow hawk]

Mags addon has a lot of issues, just don't use it

[opal haven]

you mean this? I'm not using it

[willow hawk]

Press Numpad Enter

You removed HUD

[ornate salmon]

[opal haven]

i know

[willow hawk]

What do you want?

Not being able to see the ammo in your mag ?

[opal haven]

it now shows ammo too

[willow hawk]

What's the point of 1) not knowing ammo in your mag 2) having to press a key to check ammo

Just press R

[opal haven]

no problem. Guy above showed me his HUD and there is no ammo, so i bothered

[willow hawk]

That's because he's using mags addon

With check ammo option

[limpid seal]

fixed it! all i had to do was delete the files highlighted in 'losing conflicts' in G.A.M.M.A Scopes radius, and the red laser was back. Thanks Grok!

[opal haven]

Okay, thanks for help

[ornate salmon]

the armor you get at the end of last dawn is the cs 3a

right?

[willow hawk]

I think so ?

[ornate salmon]

i was just making sure

cuz i think i finished the quests

wait, hold on

i forgot about the scout one, bringing the pda back

ok yeah im done with the quests

[stark nimbus]

So I just got the artefacts for Hip’s quest and after turning them to Sid I have 2 choices. Go to Barkeep (a deal Sidorovich got for her) or go to Lukash (medicine delivery to Yanov). I am thinking which to choose, I play freedom, so it is much easier for me to go to Lukash than to Barkeep, but I am not sure, if it doesn’t end her questline prematurely.

[misty rock]

One of the anomalous samples for explorers quest line vanished. Can't progress. What to do?

There is no marker to follow the quest.

[cinder valve]

Since I can't find it anywhere with the help of google for anomaly: How do you dismiss companions? I'm trying to get rid of Hip and remove the window on the right side of the screen (avatar/hp). Can I dismiss her and do the artifacts quest or is "Stay here" the only option?

[misty rock]

I also took a bit of a break between gathering the samples and went for other tasks.

[willow hawk]

You want to remove the HUD or get rid of your companions?

[willow hawk]

Spawn it with debug menu

[misty rock]

Right, thanks. :]

[cinder valve]

I want to remove hip from companions. To stop following me and to just go back to the village

[willow hawk]

Kill her

[wraith token]

There should be an option when talking to her. I don't use Hip though so it might be missing.

[willow hawk]

I don't think there's

[dense tulip]

Just had a loner almost one-tap me with a mosin, I open the console and it says he hit me twice despite only shooting once - skill issue or bug?

[jagged flame]

Does a light stocked sks that can take a stock exist in gamma?

[willow hawk]

Hit arm > torso

[willow hawk]

There are 3 SKS. Stocks ?

[jagged flame]

I meant scope

[willow hawk]

Base SKS takes PU scope

Others take collimators and scopes

[jagged flame]

My current sks has none listed under attachments.

Hmm.

[willow hawk]

Its not listed

[royal oxide]

Yeah, this one take the PU scope

[willow hawk]

But it takes pu scope

[jagged flame]

Ah sick. Thanks.

[cinder valve]

Talk about an excessive use of force...

[lapis silo]

You are probably stuck in her quest, check your quest log and use debug to spawn the needed artifacts and bring them to Sidorovich

Then you can send her away like normal

[cinder valve]

Thanks!

You can craft it and it respawns

[tribal plover]

Ah, that way, got it.

[lapis silo]

The Talking stone from the Egghead questline you cannot empower, that one actually only exists once (and since it spawns at like 10% it's pretty much useless, which is pretty unfortunate for such a long questline)

Does electrical resis, heat resis, cool resis work?

Last time I played half a year ago they kinda didnt do anything?

Just curious

[graceful iron]

they do, but it seems they have a really weird way of calculating the total resistance

also now you really need anomalous resistances to survive being near anomalies

[torn horizon]

is there anyway to allow mechanics to repair armour? i cant find anything to repair my armour constantly but when i try to repair my armour by the mechanic it wont let me

[graceful iron]

you need to keep disassembling all armors you find and take parts that are 50% and above

it was going so good

but then

my game froze and i died to bandit 💀

[tall charm]

I had to deal with life

but in the end I got my first house and moved to a new city.

[graceful iron]

good luck stalker. oh and dont forgot to update your installer and gamma before playing

[tall charm]

aye gotta fiddle with updating my RC, I was still using RC1

its been so long

[willow hawk]

No

[hollow apex]

sandstone has this property, what does "including fields" mean? I don't recognize any "anomaly fields" in the game

[graceful iron]

the large anomaly fields like witch's jelly and synapse in garbage or toxic bath and quarry in jupiter or super conductor in red forest

the static ones, they dont move or change

[hollow apex]

but basically you still have to "touch" the anomaly to get this infusion right?

like walking into it

[graceful iron]

yes

[visual flicker]

You just don't like the idea or it would be pain in the ass to add?

[graceful iron]

the animation ?

[hollow apex]

maybe both

[wind lotus]

is there a way i can respawn prof kovalev? he died, and im stuck with the laptop in my inventory, and i cant drop it

[graceful iron]

see the pinned message, there is a way to respawn npcs

[brisk zinc]

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

Can't guarantee it will work but you can try

Try also what okay_cat said

[graceful iron]

#🔨base-gamma-support message ... or that

[wind lotus]

yea i just gotta find what his ID is i guess, cuz his body is no where to be found, ty

[tall charm]

is the healing meta still yadulins/ bandages-tourniquets ?

or has that been changed

[graceful iron]

some post-heals got removed from some items like glucose shots

you can check the properties of medical items to see what they do, but for the most part its still the same

medkits no longer post heal anything

[tall charm]

ah i see i see

[brisk zinc]

Yes but now it's medkit/bandages -> Yadulin + what cat said

[tall charm]

hm i see, not so much different from the past it seems. just some med bloat items where removed

is there still a massive gun bloat? or did that get changed

[graceful iron]

its being worked on #975786633423101983

[tall charm]

👌

when i was here last the latest thing was the artifact melter, anything big since then that i should be aware of, or just small tweaks and changes here and there.

is food also still a nonissue?

[graceful iron]

see #📢announcements and #📢development i guess.

[graceful iron]

not sure

[tall charm]

jesus

so many wide changes

[wraith token]

I am looking to extend the post-blowout weather pattern but I am not familiar with editing weathers or blowout files. Anyone have any experience or know which files to check? Already looked at blowout_channels and dynamic_weather config

[tall charm]

im excited again haha

wonder if Grok ever got around to adding toz 106 slugs

hahahaha

[graceful plaza]

Last night I had a crash that was traced back to being an issued with my AMD card and was directed to the #│🔧troubleshooting AMD GPU fix. Ive done the steps up to the underclock/undervolt... Im not sure how to do that

[rancid reef]

I apologize for asking but why do I take damage when I run?

I assume its because both my legs are at half health but I cant seem to heal them with bandages/med kits or stimpacks

[graceful iron]

check the manual in the pda

but yes you are probably taking damage from damaged legs

[rancid reef]

Yeah I cant find anything in the guide section but its probably it

[graceful iron]

use first aid and then post heal to heal your limbs

the manual explains that...

[rancid reef]

Yeah apologies I see it now

Thank you very much

[cloud smelt]

does anyone know if I can have both efp and gamma installed but switch back and forth, like a different instance on mod organizer or something?

[brisk zinc]

You can but MO2 needs to be portable and you can't have it installed

[cloud smelt]

You cant have efp installed as well?

[brisk zinc]

You can

But MO2 needs to be portable, not installed on your computer

[north turret]

Anything happens if I gain goodwill with hostile faction while disguised?

[hoary veldt]

I believe if you manage to hit 500 goodwill, the faction will stop being hostile to you specifically

It might be higher though so don't quote me on that

[north turret]

Actually cool, never thought about that until just now when while sneaking into agroprom institute I sold some basic tools to the technician there cause why not lol

Might try to do it with Military/Mercs

[misty rock]

How does "anomalous study" work? It is a quest that you have to do with "anomalous measurment device", but using it in the exact locationt does virtually nothing.

[north turret]

when you pull it out it should start filling up the bar on the device

when it fills up the quest gets updated and that's it

[grand willow]

Is there a mod in the pack that replaces the Nomad suits model?

It looks... different

[graceful iron]

model on npcs ?

[grand willow]

No like on the player (I sometimes play in 3rd person)

[graceful iron]

as far as i know the player model has never been changed in gamma

[warped ginkgo]

fixed vanilla models

[grand willow]

Ah... I kind of dislike the new model

If I disable FVM will it break the game?

[graceful iron]

i didnt know that changed player models ? isnt it for duxs character kit ?

[graceful iron]

okay...

[grand willow]

Ugh, It looks so derpy

[graceful iron]

i dont know if you can disable it but you can test by backing up the save files

but i do have one question: why are you playing anomaly in 3rd person the game is literally unplayable in 3rd and its never supposed to be played like that

making the player model completely irrelevant

[hoary veldt]

Someone made a third person mod a while back, I think. He might be using that

[grand willow]

Yes I sometimes play in 3rd person. When I have a migraine FPP sometimes makes me dizzy

[agile dune]

What supply level are binoculars? I can't seem to find them or do only specific traders sell them?

[warped ginkgo]

i think you need to craft them

[graceful iron]

or just use freezoom, the keybind is in the mcm

[olive haven]

Did I missed an option for HQ detector model? I see the grizzly is but the other vanilla one are still suign the 2007 model & textures

[swift breach]

So I'm finally actually installing gamma and I wanted to ask about something in the installation guide. It says the anomaly folder should be clean (without any extra mods or addons). I've never used any mod managers before. If I wanted to add something on top of what Gamma already has, how would I go about it?
What I want to add is a script thing to allow me to access NPCs' full inventories

I already have it here, I just need to know if I can just slap it on there or if I need to do something different for gamma

[plush pewter]

I asked this at a bad time yesterday, but what the heck does a guy have to do get basic tools around here ><

[ornate salmon]

how do you disable the annoying little animations played whenever disassembling for example

[graceful iron]

you install addons using mo2

[plush pewter]

I quested a ton in cordon ran around killed every bandit in sight but like, no stashes given

killed every bandit again when they respawned

[hoary veldt]

Stashes are your best friend

[plush pewter]

is it a random chance after looting any body?

[ornate salmon]

@graceful iron didnt you know this? i think you said it at one point

but i forgor

[graceful iron]

press ] or go to game settings and disable item animations

[ornate salmon]

no not fdda

[graceful iron]

its not fdda

[ornate salmon]

isnt ] to disable fdda anims

[swift breach]

The file I want to add is not in a supported format, apparently.
When I click that and "install mod", MO2 wants me to find a file with the formats .zip, .7z, .001, .fomod or .rar.
The file I want to add is .script.

[plush pewter]

there's item animations in the regular settings somewhere

that's not FDDA related

[graceful iron]

they are fake base anomaly animations

[hoary veldt]

Cat has the right of it, if you're talking about those weird head waves then yeah just press ] to disable it

[plush pewter]

personally I love all the animations because it forces me to clear out everything before fiddling

[ornate salmon]

oh cool

aight

found the setting anyway

[plush pewter]

so wait, what's a good way to get stashes? I paid sidorovich for stash info on but he gives me info on ones like 4-5 maps away. It's like the guy's poking fun at a noob

[graceful iron]

locations are random. try doing quests since thats a good way to get stashes and money

[olive haven]

Reading PDA you looted and missions are the main way to get any stash location reliably

any blowout addon that add some really good sirens?

[graceful iron]

sorry i couldnt reply to your question, i know that mo2 needs a zip file format to install a mod but i think there is another way when its just a script

[plush pewter]

Oh fuck I disassembled all pdas

I thought they were redundant

I'm a dummy

[graceful iron]

doing quests and looting dead bodies gives you stash locations but they are random and can be anywhere so sometimes you will have to do multiple quests to get stashes somewhere near your location or take the risks and go to where they already are

[graceful iron]

you can read them for stashes, pay a technician to unlock the locked ones and then sell them to a trader or an info trader

[swift breach]

I'll give it a try once the installation is done, thanks.
If anything goes horribly wrong I'll ask again 😛

[misty rock]

Weairdly enought it was still marked on the map. That is normal?

[visual flicker]

Do knives affect butchering mutants? Like more parts or smith?

[warped ginkgo]

no

hunting backpack gives more part i think

[hoary veldt]

Ye, it does

The knives only affect them in terms of what you can carve

I.E can't skin a chimera 'till you get a hunting knife

[graceful iron]

hunting backpack gives more parts and speeds up the "animation". knives are only for skinning higher tier mutants and having higher durability and damage

[modern fern]

Where is this stash? I've tore the hanger up and there are no prompts or visual indicators "bag, pipe, ect.." It says near the bed by the piano/pool table but there is nothing, may need to relocate this to bugs if someone can't assist. Thanks

[graceful iron]

that one could be on the roof. where does it say its under the piano ?

[quiet rock]

guys i have (another) a question, is it possible to edit the preset of gamma trade so traders can buy weapons and armor? i don't want to buy those items from them, but sell them

i have a stash with a lot of poor condition armors and wpns, already stripped of useful parts

[graceful iron]

you can disassemble them and sell the parts to mechanics, they buy parts unless they are 0% condition. as for editing that i think its in the gamma economy addon

[quiet rock]

yeah i found the file, thing is i don't know what to edit as for traders to buy weapons and armors

maybe it can't be done, thought i could be a good way to earn a bit more of money without destroying Gamma's systems

[modern fern]

There's no underspace for the piano to fit any kind of container, and as far as roof access goes theres only the one stash on the roof by the crane, there is no stash i saw on the other side of the roof. Unless you're talking about the very top which im unsure is accessable

[willow hawk]

Bad weight management, never keep guns you don't want to repair

[quiet rock]

they are stashed, so that's isn't a problem really

[willow hawk]

Nice profile pic btw

[quiet rock]

thanks

[graceful iron]

there is one stash at that marker, you can reach it by using the platform on the north east corner of the depot

go through the windows by low crouching

[uneven cove]

Hello! I am sorry to bother, I am working on replicating the issue right now so I can figure out exactly what is causing the issue, but I applied the fixed file here from Sailor Gloom, but now if I run into an anomaly it crashes. I am very new to this, I apologize for the headache. (Worst case scenario, I do have the backup, but didn't know if I could maybe find a fix with someone!)

(File as subject matter)
#🔨base-gamma-support message

Okay so I found that it is in fact having to do with the "walking into an anomaly" problem. I didn't know if there is some way to fix this without re-enabling the yellow particles?

FATAL ERROR

[error]Expression : SE
[error]Function : CRender::model_CreatePE
[error]File : r4.cpp
[error]Line : 672
[error]Description : Particle effect doesn't exist
[error]Arguments : anomaly2\effects\graviti_steam_04

stack trace:

[modern fern]

Thanks, ill check it out

[uneven cove]

Verified it is the updated particle file causing the issue, works flawlessly otherwise. With my little knowledge, I think it might be the fact that there are new particles incorporated in the time that has passed since the file was uploaded. It does work otherwise, just not at the moment of damage via Anomaly.

Any suggestions? I do enjoy the effects of the other anomalies, just not the ones the file was meant to address. (Linked to the purpose of the file.)
#🔨base-gamma-support message

[tidal raft]

It is accessible. You have to scale the fallen steel frame.

[charred glen]

hi guys, what settings do you enjoy the most for ironman ? do you have wish granter/rogue lite stuff ?
thx! also do you play ironman with Campfire saving ?

[modern fern]

I found it...such a goofy spot. It was indeed a stash

[willow hawk]

Update data and Complete install

[uneven cove]

I'll give it a go! Be back momentarily.

[cyan ruin]

guys. someone would know where this stash is ? i looked everywhere but didn't find it

[hoary veldt]

You're using an RF, right?

Hold F while you're looking, it's not a stash

It's just a box item lying around

[cyan ruin]

in the bushes ?

[hoary veldt]

Bushes, underneath stuff, tucked somewhere

You'll just have to follow the beeping and hold F, keeping an eye out for the package text appearing

[cyan ruin]

i'm on the right place but didn't find anything yet, i looked on the ground, on the tree branches but nothing

i holded f too how you said

[hoary veldt]

I can't really help you beyond what I've said, they really are quite hidden and it definitely can take a while for some of them

The only thing I can suggest is hope you find a Lamp artifact, because that'll light up the stash and tell you where it is

[cyan ruin]

thanks for the help

[hoary veldt]

Good hunting, Stalker

[cyan ruin]

this artifact randomly spawns everywhere or it's in a specific region ?

[hoary veldt]

It can spawn anywhere, but I've had most of my luck with grav anomaly fields

[willow hawk]

Everywhere in fields

Dynamic or static ones

[cyan ruin]

ok

thanks again guys

[north turret]

hello fellas, i wanted to ask, where do you find UNISG commonly? i know they're sometimes in the outskirts hospital but most of the time i find a big fat chimera ready to wreck my shit instead of a UNISG soldier keeling me instantly with his modified ak equipped with the latest and greatest that is provided by the US of A.

[hoary veldt]

I don't think there's a particular spot that the UNISG spawn, I've found them from Dark Valley, Outskirts, and even Dead City sometimes

You just have to get lucky, at least from what I can tell

[full bridge]

Which one of these is the task ID? I'm asking because none of them seem to work (trying to complete a task with debug mode)

[azure jetty]

Will there ever be a change on how Pseudogiants work? They are absolutely frustrating as hell to fight with, especially with the lack of weaponry, you have to dump entire mags into them while they use their borderline telepathic "ground pound" attack to strike you kilometers away, while if they use that attack on someone else while you're near them you recieve no damage at all

[bleak egret]

Whats the best place to kill lots geared Mercs. Im looking for Merc ACE
suit. Have cleared DC, the half of Limansk that has mercs, and the sewage plant in Zaton.

[brisk zinc]

Dead City? It should be where they have their hideout
I don't know if you can find what you're looking for though

[quiet willow]

Okay so hear me out, if you have an axe, wait for him to do his first attack and then charge at his back and just kill him with the axe

[bleak egret]

Yeah Dead City really is now that. I found a couple Merc SEVA's, but no ACE SEVA.

[hoary veldt]

You could try the bookstore in the Outskirts next? Otherwise your best bet is to wait a few days until they all respawn

[brisk zinc]

I can confirm it's actually doable

[azure jetty]

I never thought of it that way since their bite is lethal

[brisk zinc]

Didn't do it myself but everyone who did bragged about it, so...

[hoary veldt]

Don't underestimate the power of an axe, they're super handy

[quiet willow]

Yeah but they're so fat that they struggle to do turns

[hoary veldt]

If you're near a gravity anomaly and you're not too concerned with skinning it, lure it into the gravity anomaly

[brisk zinc]

Yeah they're very strong and fun to use

[quiet willow]

You can also learn their aggro range, after a bit they just walk back

[bleak egret]

Ooo yeah Outskirts. Ima go merc them mercs too!

[brisk zinc]

They also have a good "reach", if that is the correct term

[hoary veldt]

My comrades!

[azure jetty]

Alternatively you could buy it with enough grinded goodwill, but I doubt there's any merc traders left judging by how you slaughtered them

[hoary veldt]

Well, no, you can't buy armors in GAMMA

Unless you tweaked it, ofc

[azure jetty]

Whoops
