[brisk zinc]

We can try it

[warm sluice]

it might be unrelated, not aware of how x-ray reports these messages, been a while since I looked at the xray github

module not found is pretty ambiguous

it could be that during the compilation of model_def_lqs_2 it actually issued the error

but I have no idea where model_def_lqs_2 is

... guess I can look

[brisk zinc]

Hm, shaders

@stoic axle

We can try this as well (just a sec)

Go here: Anomaly\appdata\

There's a folder called shaders_cache

Delete this folder

And try again whatever you were trying to do

[pale cloak]

how often do you guys update Gamma? I installed it last week and haven't tried doing so yet

figured I'd do it every 2 weeks or so/whenever there are substantial updates

[brisk zinc]

Everytime Grok update, I update
But I'm a different thing, I need to be on the line

[pale cloak]

ok

you have to do it from the Gamma.exe right, not from within MO2

[stoic axle]

Lol disabling the RF Receiver tasks made everything worse, cause I could not load ANY of my save files.
Enabled it again and now can load all saves again before Red Forest

[warm sluice]

yeh once you get mods that change story enabled, they kind of become required

I think that it probably more likely it succeeded loading that one, failed on the shader

[brisk zinc]

The update? You need to use the installer

[pale cloak]

yeah

[brisk zinc]

G.A.M.M.A. Installer.exe

[stoic axle]

Just delete the folder itself or the content of the folder?

[warm sluice]

I don't see the shader model_def_lqs_2 in anything, mods or in base game, but it's def there, so maybe packed in a db file or something

[brisk zinc]

The folder itself

[warm sluice]

if xray's loading messages are async then there's no telling if any of the messages displayed are directly related to the error

[brisk zinc]

I don't actually have the exact file but better try anyway

It's a folder that gets recreated everytime

[warm sluice]

wait, you are missing model_def_lqs_2

have you been to red forest?

[brisk zinc]

Actually not yet now that I think about it...

I can go if I have to

[swift breach]

what the fuck is that display name

dude's a goddamn unown

[brisk zinc]

Good question

[warm sluice]

might look different on yours, it's just symbolic

it's an arrow through a target, a bomb, a Q inside a mirrored filled-in Q, you can call me Q... I'm a john de lancie fan

[stoic axle]

Deleting shaders_cache didn't help, still crash on entering Red Forest

[warm sluice]

mods\119- HD Glowsticks - r3zy\gamedata\shaders\r1\models_selflight_glowstick.s

this requires/produces model_def_lqs_# in the shader cache

will your game load with 119 HD Glowsticks disabled?

@stoic axle

[brisk zinc]

It works for me

I'm inside Red Forest

If it works for him, I guess it's a corrupted zip

[stoic axle]

Disabling 119 HD Glowsticks made me unable to access all of my save files too, so had to enable it again

Guess then I'll perform a Complete Install again and do all steps from framerate_optimisation to minimize risk of problems

[warm sluice]

@brisk zinc can you go to the red forest?

if it creates a model_def_lq_2 maybe it can be uploaded here as a fix

[brisk zinc]

I'm already there

[brisk zinc]

I'll look for the file

Well then

[warm sluice]

ya just drag it into here, maybe that vertex shader will have clues or be a fix

or it'll be completely unrelated

I'm hoping line 126 will be interesting

[warm sluice]

ah right, it's a directory of a precompiled shader... where the heck is the source

[runic stone]

same shit happening

[warm sluice]

you got the same error in red forest?

[runic stone]

i mean falco tried to solve my problem but i get the same error

and i want to backflip

[warm sluice]

in appdata\shaders_cache\r4 do you have a "model_def_lq_2.vs" directory?

alright so model_def_lq is in the x-ray engine.. eugh

[brisk zinc]

They're both having a classic error around here

They've installed everything inside, like Programs Files

When in #old-how-to it's clearly stated that you can't do that

[stoic axle]

clearly
Nah bro

[warm sluice]

hm interesting - maybe spaces in path

[brisk zinc]

After moving the folders (and I think the installation path inside mo2) came the problems

[brisk zinc]

Yes bro?

[stoic axle]

Just says, don't unpack, install in Download, Desktop, Program Files or Program Files x86

[brisk zinc]

That's "clear" to me, you don't

[stoic axle]

So of course I was unaware that "Documents" is a nono too

[warm sluice]

maybe change to say "don't unpack, install or run from " lol

[brisk zinc]

I wish, I can't change anything

[warm sluice]

probably "or anywhere with a space in the path name"

[runic stone]

so its a reinstall for me?

[brisk zinc]

Well I mean I understand incompetency or having problems using a computer (not as ignorance) but install games in Documents it's a first even for me

[stoic axle]

That's also not the case, I had the crash before moving anything. Playing like one year different Stalker Mods located in my Documents and everything always worked like a charm.
Thanks to your sharing, I know now to put games on SSD

[warm sluice]

@runic stone I mean you can try moving it

but I assume there's something that's baking path names

[brisk zinc]

I know I sound rude, sorry

I say the same thing everyday, I've been doing that for months, okay_cat even more

[runic stone]

i had the first time installed anomaly on /downloads

[stoic axle]

Like I said, ShoC, CS and COP downloaded from GOG installed themselves in my Docs and I just followed suit when downloading and moving Mods

[runic stone]

and on c:/GAMMA RC3

[warm sluice]

hrm

[brisk zinc]

That's seriously strange, again, never heard something like that before

[warm sluice]

@stoic axle or @runic stone if either of you want to troubleshoot what exactly is causing the issue further

[stoic axle]

I know, I'm wondering where you take your motivation to help such computer imbeciles like me from

[brisk zinc]

You are the worst one since it's written in #old-how-to that you can't do that

[brisk zinc]

I like to help people, that's all, I can't help it

[warm sluice]

you can try to get ProcessMonitor, configure it to filter for file access made by the game exe, and then figure out where it runs into file not found

[runic stone]

Look i can explain from the beginning to the end

[warm sluice]

if anyone wants to try that lemme know and I'll hand hold via discord desktop sharing or something

[runic stone]

downloaded everything and extracted it in the path that it says, it doesnt say that anomaly should be there on c:/ so i put it on my steam folder

C:/GAMMA RC3 i did it like that its correct

now i moved Anomaly on C:/ too

[brisk zinc]

I hate you

[runic stone]

haahahahhahahaa

Nudel dont be ironic

[warm sluice]

just in case you guys have trouble finding it, Process Monitor: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon
for tracking down failed file access

[runic stone]

So what do i do now

hahahaha

[buoyant coyote]

are none of the artefacts permanent now?

[storm shadow]

is there an addon in Gamma that let you have a home base somewhere with a personal safe?

[stoic axle]

All stashes are safe to use and won't be looted by npcs

[shrewd crater]

Okay i have started searching this goddamn Freedom base again now. Still nothing. I have killed like 24 people. I just wanna get done with this mission (storm freedom base, Duty mission) Or is this like some common bug?

Its completely empty. I have searched EVERYTHING Or is there some some underground part of the base?

[sharp cradle]

how do you turn on nvg

[brisk zinc]

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[shrewd crater]

L i think

[brisk zinc]

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

You think wrong

[buoyant coyote]

how do artefacts behave in gamma I simply don't get it

they have a durability and eventually run dry?

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[buoyant coyote]

even mutant pelts?

do plates and other non artefact upgrades have durability as well?

[brisk zinc]

I think so since they have a condition bar but I'm not entirely sure about them

Same for plates, yes

"non artefact upgrades "?

[buoyant coyote]

things like camelback

[stoic axle]

Mutant pelts having condition makes perfect sense, some mutants are prolly mangy and scruffy

Plates and Camelbak and such with lower condition I have seen too, any way to repair that?

[shrewd crater]

ah shiiit

Im going insane. This base. AAaa

Edit. I give up on this mission.

[waxen burrow]

Hello! I'm not sure if it's a bug or not (I haven't been able to find anything when Googling) but I'm playing as a mercenary. There's a trader that gives you cool stuff if you give him patches. I only get 1 option and it's a "K thanks bye". I would have expected an option for "Here are the patches! Thanks!". I assume I have to progress further but I was wondering if anyone else has seen this?

[graceful iron]

its the food trader aslan in the sports center in dead city, he should have many options like asking about tasks and trading patches

are you sure you are talking to the right npc ?

[shrewd crater]

THE MISSION WAS DONE IT JUST DIDNT UPDASFG<SFRG AAA

[graceful iron]

he wears a helmetless exoskeleton

[waxen burrow]

Dead city is for bandits, right? The Mercs are in that double story building with the statue in front. So I'm pretty sure I'm at the right guy because the speech option also specifically mentions it.

[stoic axle]

@brisk zinc did a complete install and still crashing on entering Red Forest
Guess I'll just avoid that map then

[waxen burrow]

I'll get his name and more info shortly. Booting up!

[graceful iron]

dead city is the merc's main base, he should be in the 3 story building on the second floor (first floor if you count ground-1-2). he will have options to trade patches once you have 15 or 30 of any type of patches

[waxen burrow]

Aha! That's exactly what's up then. I don't have 15/30 of them yet. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

[graceful iron]

[wanton pecan]

Hello, I seem to have run into a lil' issue where I got myself a pretty cool Glock 17 Gen 4 that has the possibility to mount a suppressor on it after a modification.
Said issue is that there doesn't seem to be any upgrades on the workshop with this ability in sight, so I am quite lost there. Might also just be that it is not stated as a bonus with an upgrade like the "full auto" one? Seems strange.

Or I could be just blind ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[silk forum]

hello, I have a problem using my PDA in game. Does anyone know about this issue?

[ornate salmon]

check ZCP in your mod configuration menu

[stable charm]

I've read some people have had trouble finding the character Scar and I am as well, haven't found a solution on here yet. he did have a quest marker but it disappeared before I made it to Zaton so I'm assuming he died?

[wispy heart]

Looks like the silver one has the upgrade, but the black one is missing it.

[wanton pecan]

Ah alright thanks. Welp guess I'm on a hunt for the silver one then.

[carmine crypt]

Anyone else have a big loss in FPS with the update/s in the last week? My performance really took a dive and i'm not sure whats causing it.

[stoic moth]

Did your graphics settings change?

[carmine crypt]

It reset my graphics when i updated but i believe i have them exactly as i had them before. The performance loss is especially noticeable inside buildings.

[waxen burrow]

I know I'm being lame by not playing GAMMA the way it's intended but I've noticed that quick saving and then loading it up again doesn't reset other NPCs the way they were before. I've noticed a couple of times that I'd die in a crazy firefight with like 5 other guys then when loading it up again there would only be 2. This leads me to believe that the game either has some sort of difficulty easing system or the randomness of loading other entities is always applied to every load of a save.

Anyone have any insight into that? Is it maybe a setting I could change or is it built in?

[willow hawk]

Its just XRay fucking everything up on reload

[waxen burrow]

Ooof. Okay cool. Thank you so much for answering.

[warm sluice]

@willow hawk do you know how checksum files work?

an sha1sum of everything in a fresh install of anomaly would be a good idea, making checksums of downloads would be good too

eg. this is for the current state of downloads

making one for a clean install of anomaly would be a good idea too

I worked with @runic stone in a desktop sharing session; he's going to do another clean install, but his downloads were all fine

his crash is related to some mod of the k98

[north turret]

Hey guys, I have a small problem, my game crashes when I enter into Radar map

I read the crash log and it's something to do with susat missing or mutant

not sute

sure*

[warm sluice]

gamedata\scripts\ish_campfire_saving.script:172: attempt to compare number with string

[north turret]

what the problem? is it the campfire? how do I fix it?

[warm sluice]

no idea

let me see the lua, sec

[north turret]

[warm sluice]

172: enable_friendly_bosses = ui_mcm.get("yasc/allowSanctuaries") >= 1

in MCM, what is your Allow Sanctuaries setting for YASC?

[north turret]

I'll check

rn

its on friendly & neutral

at the moment

[warm sluice]

change it to something else then change it back and try going back to radar

[north turret]

I tried it

[warm sluice]

[error]Arguments : Can't open section 'sup'. Please attach [*.ini_log] file to your bug report

no idea, it just says that in the message

[thorn dirge]

hey guys just a question so i wanted to try and disable the economy as many have said to do but im fairly new to the whole modding scene as this and anomoly are actually my first mods ive ever installed. i was curious as to how i would disable the economy because i couldn't find it in the mod configuration in the menu.

i do absolutely love the mod and the lore behind why there arent guns im just gunna be honest and say its a bit too hardcore for myself lol well more so on the armor side and not the weapons side.

[bleak egret]

#╭📖faq

[thorn dirge]

thanks figured it out though i will ask if i disable bas injection will that remove the weapons from the game?

[bleak egret]

probably. personally, i wouldnt fuck with the economy. it really is the heart of this mod. stock anomaly you were able to just buy w/e you wanted pretty quickly. finished that in less than a week. in this i cant. still playing it after a month. much better.

[brisk zinc]

I don't think so

BaS is very deep into GAMMA, you can't disable it just like that

It's just a mod about the economy

The actual BaS it's mod 76 in the mod list

[thorn dirge]

oh okay cool thanks man

[mild trout]

theres no way to make some of the scopes a bit smaller? some of them take up half of my screen

[brisk zinc]

I would still advise you to NOT get back vanilla economy since you'll be playing plain Anomaly all over again and it won't be the same experience, but it's your game, you do you

[bleak egret]

use smaller scopes

[thorn dirge]

oh no i love everything so far im just finding it hard to use the basic sunrise when i walk out of cordon and suddenly get jumped by 4 expert monoliths and get shredded

[mild trout]

both scopes i can use are quite big

i'll go with the kobra i guess

[bleak egret]

theres like, 30 scopes in the game

[mild trout]

the two i have, that have some sort of magnification on it are really big

alas

[brisk zinc]

That's because GAMMA aims for a much longer experience, Is based on you being an absolute nothing and having to earn anything, you can't just do two quests in Cordon and go straight to Radar

[bleak egret]

so, not the physical size, but the zoom is the issue?

[thorn dirge]

is it normal for them to spawn before the bridge in cordon?

[mild trout]

no no, the size is the problem

[brisk zinc]

No that's not normal, of course, come on
That's you being unlucky I'm afraid

[mild trout]

i'd much prefer if they were smaller

can't see shit on my right side

[bleak egret]

with ZCP, yes. VERY rare though

[brisk zinc]

Literally the first time I hear something like this, but yes, it's ZCP

[bleak egret]

hit V. turn your gun

[mild trout]

that lowers the weapon right?

[thorn dirge]

oh lol cuz ive been running into them very often by the bridge 1 had exo and all were experts and above and i only had like maby 2 hours in when i met them the first time

[bleak egret]

nope. turns gun.

[bleak egret]

did you adjust any population settings?

[mild trout]

gonna try that

[brisk zinc]

1 exo
More strangeness in here

[bleak egret]

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[thorn dirge]

oh shit perhaps it was his helmet that made me think he had it couldnt really tell through the scope on my sks

[bleak egret]

yeah exos are VERY apparent. they make lil robot actuator noises when they move too.

[thorn dirge]

i was pretty far but i was like 3 tapped by them

it was shrubby and i could only see his head somewhat through the barrage of black and blood on my screen lmao

i think ill keep trucking along with regular maby i just need to suck it up i mean i didnt get this mod to play easy mode

[bleak egret]

you sure they are even mono then? could just be very geared bandits

[thorn dirge]

no i had the 3 patches from when i got lucky enough to head them and then walked into a flame anomoly

[bleak egret]

also, you can pretty easily scrap them with an SKS. ive brought an sks and starting gear all the way up to limansk to farm mercs and monos

well, and rad protect

[hidden bloom]

thing to note though: ZCP only replaces stalker squads with other ones of the same rank. so this must've been an expert squad of another faction

[stable charm]

Has anyone ever had any luck spawning the character Scar with debug mode? trying to find his ID

[tired copper]

Can someone please remind me how you pick up stashes again? Completely forgot how to do it lol

Nevermind. Sorted it.

[delicate zenith]

Do these PDA messages actually lead to anything?

[simple cipher]

is ammo check supposed to play no animation?

after pressing the hotkey, nothing happens, and after 2 seconds the "nearly full" message appears

[stoic axle]

No, I asked myself the same question when I came across these messages.
The message references GHz frequencies, but you can only turn the Receiver on MHz frequencies. Those texts are just lore

[rose lake]

Normale a little animation to put ur weapon on down for check ammo

[rose lake]

👆

[warm sluice]

@brisk zinc @runic stone had a different hash for his exe files, so maybe had older version of anomaly - might be the cause of some other people's issues

[simple cipher]

yeah, thats what i was expecting, but nothing happens

do i have to enable something?

[rose lake]

Nop I set m'y hotkey on ‹ › azery keybord

AZERTY*

[simple cipher]

i've set it on Z, but i dont think it matters

[stoic axle]

Update on my end: I fucked around in Warehouses until evening, then went to sleep in Freedom Base, and next day I could enter Red Forest just fine.. so I guess the crash source despawned

[warm sluice]

if that is true then it will reoccur later, definitely interested when/if it does

[rose lake]

Maybe reload user setting. Machin with the luncher

[slim sleet]

hi guys anyone knows how to remove companion portrait ( HUD) without removing all the hud ?

[rose lake]

And re set keybinding 🤷

[empty monolith]

where else can I find rifle ammo for building ammo besides looting it off dead stalkers?

[rose lake]

Sansa u Can find ammo part with gunammo kit u Can craft ammo Wat u want

[delicate zenith]

Gotcha, shame

[stoic axle]

Yeah I would have fucking LOVED to be able to find useful or scary things after finding those messages

[warm sluice]

hey the reshade depth map is incorrectly configured

[zenith drum]

Anyone know what script is responsible for removing ingredients that are used with cooking menu?

[warm sluice]

reshade config

RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_UPSIDE_DOWN = 0
RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_REVERSED = 0
RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_LOGARITHMIC = 0
RESHADE_DEPTH_LINEARIZATION_FAR_PLANE = 1000.0

eh fuck it, it looks like the far plane at 1000 is ok but close objects lose depth

[median lagoon]

is there an addon that shows all active buffs on ui?

currently icons show up for buffs already, what I mean is something that shows everything for instance buffs from food, different tiers of meds, etc.

[mild trout]

How do i make mz companions move inside the tunnel i darkscape

They just die from the psy storm

In*

Just standing at the entrance, they wont go in below the bridge

[median lagoon]

are you running from a psy storm?

[mild trout]

Yeah, thats the only shelter nearby

[median lagoon]

in that case maybe you can hide in the gas station building or rush to the lonmer base which should be near the tunnel afaik

I am not sure how you could get them to the tunnel, is gonna be tricky. there are those rocks

[mild trout]

Is there a way to teleport outta here

[empty monolith]

Does anybody know why sometimes I cant loot stalkers or save the game?

[median lagoon]

do you have your handgun in the binocular slot? then it's key 4

[slim sleet]

already searched stalkers ( no loot) and techniically you can oly save next to campfire

[median lagoon]

where are you? if you in darkspace tunnel that is the exit to cordon

or you can teleport with the pad to any location visited

[solemn lagoon]

Sometimes I get the bug where I can't loot bodies, a quicksave and load usually fixes it, as far as not saving, try disabling YACS and save

[near venture]

does anyone know how to increase the max bet on the game of blackjack?

[empty monolith]

Not like that, even if I have a daddy save ready it doesnt let me save, and the stalkers do have loot, but it wont let me loot, I need to reload a save

[empty monolith]

Alright thanks bro

[near venture]

and does anyone know how I ran repair gun parts?

[jagged lance]

#╭📖faq message

[north turret]

how can i have someone help me with installing gamma ?

[bleak egret]

#old-only-installer-support

[astral wigeon]

@graceful iron so I check faq but I want to understand the setup of the shaders that are included in gamma.... can I reinstall them myself and add in the ssdo and ssr from screens pace shaders with no problems?

[wise sparrow]

you can open the console (~ key) and use "save" to create a quicksave you can then load

[wise sparrow]

if you look in the mcm options for mags there should be a "busyhands fix" option selected. I assume unchecking it sets ammo check back to the old behavior but do so at your own risk as you may get softlocked and have to save/load when doing an ammo check.

[pale cloak]

trying to pick up sidrovich's shipment in meadow but burer keeps killing me

I take psyblock but he still wrecks me...any tips?

[bleak egret]

when a burer holds up his hands, he is immune to bullets. shoot him, let him do his little jazz hands routine, let them drop, blast his ass

use hp ammo if possible or buckshot

[hexed kayak]

hey, anyone ever have it where their fov seems to be way out of whack? I got intop a fight and needed to heal, and now my fox seems to be huge, its really trippin me out

[bleak egret]

do you ever use free zoom?

[hexed kayak]

nope, dont even have the key bound to anyhting

but i did just go check settings, it did set it up to 120 for some reaosn

[bleak egret]

80 is default, i know that for sure

[hexed kayak]

gotcha, thanks 🙂

[pale cloak]

OK will do next time...I snuck in grabbed the shipment and on the way ut burer must have attacked me...I took psyblock but my guy is freaking out even though he escaped....no stamina, hallucinating and health is like 10%

how long does that effect last?

I keep taking psyblock ever few min or so but it's not improving...I'm limping back to farm to buy first aid

[bleak egret]

psy hp bar will slowly fill back up

[pale cloak]

do I have to sit still and not do anything? moving seems to be upsetting me

[bleak egret]

are your legs broken?

[pale cloak]

no my limbs are fine

helalth is very low

[bleak egret]

define "fine". youll need then to be above 60% hp

[pale cloak]

and my stamina deplets instaly

yes I know about limb health

they are all nearly full

[bleak egret]

well, if you arent taking damage, np

[pale cloak]

stil hallucinating screen is pulsing and swaying

even after I've walked all the way back to Cordon

just got snorked while resting by tree...can't aim with all the hallucinating

I thought psyblockers would improve this but they aren't doing anything

[bleak egret]

p sure youd have needed to pop blockers before getting your noodle scrambled

[pale cloak]

yea

I did

I took them before entering the area with the burer

[bleak egret]

good

[pale cloak]

like maybe 30 sec before

[bleak egret]

also, did your head limb take damage?

[pale cloak]

and then repeatedly after

H is nearly full

T is half

all limbs nearly full

[bleak egret]

well, like i said. psy restores with time

do you have rads?

[pale cloak]

anti-rads? yes

but I don't have any radiation

[bleak egret]

not sure

take a ss and post it

you got fucked up by that burer lol

[pale cloak]

this is fing brutal,managed to kill 2 snorks while hallucinating

what is the key for screenshot

lol my guy is grunting with pain every other step

[bleak egret]

win + shift + s

[pale cloak]

can't walk more than 5 feet without losing all stamina

ok

where is the defaiult save location? it's not This PC>Pictures

[bleak egret]

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp is default

[pale cloak]

no screenshot there

[bleak egret]

did yo u save it?

should be a save icon, which takes it to pictures folder

[pale cloak]

wish I could video it it's hilarous listneing to his cries of pain

every other step

those key commands called up a snipping tool

[bleak egret]

you can also paste it into paint

and do it that way

[pale cloak]

I selected the area of my screen and snipped it

ok that did it

[bleak egret]

BRUH

you are like at 5% hp lmao

omg

no wonder

[pale cloak]

I kept using my health kit

regained health then lost it

did that 5x over a few min until I ran out

helath kept immediately draining

[bleak egret]

thats... weird

also, your psy hp is completely 100% gone

its like, you should have died

you didnt use debug at all, did you?

[pale cloak]

what is my psy hp

the bar above my stamina?

nope no debug

[bleak egret]

above your head

lil letters

PSY

and should have a bunch of dots

[pale cloak]

ok I see it

when will it refill?

will it at al?

all?

[bleak egret]

well, seemingly never

[pale cloak]

I used up all my psyblock

[bleak egret]

tbh, reloading a save before mr burer wrecked you is a good idea

[pale cloak]

like 6 tablets

[bleak egret]

otherwise find a medic and pay him the roubles to heal you

sleeping may work as well

[pale cloak]

there is no medic in cordon is there?

not at farmland or rookie village

[bleak egret]

what faction are you currently

[pale cloak]

CS

[bleak egret]

cs HQ in swamp has one, otherwise youll need to go to rostok. swamp is probably closest. you could pay a guide in cordon to get you there

[pale cloak]

lol I have less than 1000 rubles

[bleak egret]

ah

[pale cloak]

was hoping I coudl get myself fixed up at the north farm in cordon

[bleak egret]

turn in that quest then

[pale cloak]

limp back there

what meds repair psy? psyblocker evidently doestn

[bleak egret]

none, as far as i know

my understanding is that it regens naturally. for you, you got bugged and "died"

[jolly plover]

it recovers overtime

[bleak egret]

so it wont recover

and your hp seems capped

[pale cloak]

what do you mean by capped?

[bleak egret]

well, you are telling me your hp drains to like 0 no matter what actions you take

thats abnormal

if you were bleeding, you would have bled to death i imagine

unless you are just spamming hp kits over and over and over and not bandaging yourself

[pale cloak]

lol no

I do understand how bleeding and healign works

I took no physical damage AFAIK

psychic

[bleak egret]

yeah, its like you hit 0 psy hp, which of course should make you kill yourself

but you are not dead

but you are unable to heal

so idk

bug.

[pale cloak]

yeah a few tims I did killl mysef

have reloaded that encounter a few times

finally "won" it

though maybe not so much

[bleak egret]

your victory feeling real pyrric atm LOL

[pale cloak]

I ran in, ran out, burer must have f'd me up on the way out

my back was turned

yep

[bleak egret]

you got a shotty?

shotgun is your friend.

[pale cloak]

yeah the worst one possible

the 2 shot starting one

[bleak egret]

name?

[pale cloak]

do have maxxed out mp5 w hp ammo

I tried to sneak up on the burer a few times but gave up on that

he stays hidden

couldn't find him

he appears once you step out in the open to loot the body

[bleak egret]

[broken rock]

Hey how do you do the whole "switch between scopes" thing with BaS

[bleak egret]

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma V

[broken rock]

tyyy

[pale cloak]

yeah that's what I thought I was doing but burer tagged me when I was on the way out

made it impossible to run

well good news, limped back to north farm bought a med kit and healing replenished both my health and psychic health

motherfuckiong dogs ambused me on the way back, but I had enough HP ammo to deal w them

brutal

2 snorks and 2 dogs with me at that health level

[bleak egret]

fun!

[slim sleet]

what is the prettiest and most stable graphic/shader mod to make gamma a bit more polished ( especially environment like trees, bushes and plants)

[bleak egret]

dunno. stock looks lovely to me. head over to #╟🎑reshades

[pale cloak]

I do have that brain icon in my lower left status

I don't know if that means I am TAKING psy damage or if that is indicating the effects still of alll the psyblckers still in effect

it only appeared once I used a health kit

[bleak egret]

its a buff, you prolly used the higher tier hp kits

[pale cloak]

oh now I know, I equppied a controller scalp in my belt

in the hopes of it helping me against burer

[bleak egret]

use the shotty. if its a toz-34 youll be alright

[fresh merlin]

I am having a slow down each time I open an inventory

like a small freeze

does this happen the longer a playthrough goes on? too many items?

[bleak egret]

mhmm

xray engine be ancient

its doing its best 🙂

[pale cloak]

that tunnel in cordon is now impassable due to elctro?

poked my head in and it looked pretty unpassable

used to be a great way to travel

[bleak egret]

which one? theres.... 3 tunnels iirc

[fresh merlin]

or do you guys know ways to make inventory open faster? Or are we just resigned to it lol

[pale cloak]

the one that connects the 2 levels in cordon

by the mill

[fresh merlin]

you can pass it

just be careful and throw bolts

worst case bolt then run across right away

[swift breach]

https://tenor.com/view/run-jojo-runjojo-gif-18202771

[bleak egret]

so, anomalies will change locations after every emission. that tunnel for me is usually bare. and yeah, as delerik said, toss a bolt to your witcher and zip zop zoop on through

[pale cloak]

I'd like to read a good explanation of limb damage

[bleak egret]

#│📚manual

[pale cloak]

I don't understand why my limbs were at full nearly

and now they are degrading

even after I was healed....I didn't take damage

just walking

but now they are nearly at no health

yeah I read the manual

it doesn't go into detail

my health is degrading as is my limb health

a few min before I was at full health

including limbs for the most part

had that brain icon

walked aroudn, shot a guy, and saw my limbs degrade followed by my overall health

[bleak egret]

any artifacts?

some

uhhh

eat you

[pale cloak]

most stuff is in lead containers

have one inexpensive one the melee one out

but no radiation

[fresh merlin]

#🔨base-gamma-support message

[pale cloak]

it's been in my inventory for awhile

[fresh merlin]

in short, don't risk low limb health

all sorts of BS happen

[pale cloak]

my health was full

[fresh merlin]

your limb?

[bleak egret]

yeah hes saying hes just... dying, from full hp

[fresh merlin]

what was your limb health

[pale cloak]

above 3/4

some were at full

some around 3/4

[bleak egret]

have you had the melee artifact equipped? and does that controller armor thing do weird shit?

[pale cloak]

my limb health has been degrading

see it nearly empty there

my carry weight was at or close to max capacity but I wasn't sprinting

[bleak egret]

oh

you have no mask

there ya go sparky

[pale cloak]

?

wasn't getting any indication of radiation poisoining

[bleak egret]

in anomaly you just slowly die if you have no mask on iirc

[pale cloak]

Really? That didn't happen to me so far but if I need one I better get one. Haven't worn one yet

[bleak egret]

it doesnt at the start

the game gives you a grace period

[pale cloak]

I have no $$$ to speak of right now

[bleak egret]

i found confrimation from a person who had the exact same issue

even posted a screenshot of themselves without a helmut/ mask

[bleak egret]

#🔨base-gamma-support message

[pale cloak]

Thanks appreciated. Guess I better get one asap

drop that over in #old-bugs i suppose.

[bleak egret]

yeah, its a very bad idea to not pick the starter mask when picking your loadout at gamestart

[pale cloak]

muyst have glossed over that unless the manual doesn't advise that

I'll have to find some busted to hell one from some corpose

[bleak egret]

yeah, even a balaclava would be better than nothing

[pale cloak]

It's odd that it's happening now since I've been in this area for a while now I would understand if it was happening when I was going further North

[bleak egret]

well as i said above

the game gives you a grace period

some masochists like to start without the mask too

but they have the knowledge/experience in GAMMA to get one themselves before the day or w/e the game gives you is up

[pale cloak]

I found a band down so that's better than nothing Although I just died in the process of walking

Bandana at 1% are 10% Orr some low stat

[bleak egret]

so that will probably provide like 1% rad res. you can hold Ctrl when you hover your mouse over an item to see its full potential stats if at 100% hp

[pale cloak]

Ha my limb health is so bad that firing my weapon killed me

This game is brutal

Was getting charged by 3 boars and didn't have a choice

[brisk zinc]

We often ask people to uninstall their Anomaly and grab it again, 99% of the time they don't have the zip file and they need to download it again, this could be another "why it just works when we suggest to delete everything"

[bleak egret]

man ima be honest. id just restart, make a new dude and pick a mask lol

[proven jewel]

Why did my companion gun me down?

[pale cloak]

No I've got way too much time put in to this to restart open playing for about a week now

But I appreciate this suggestion

I don't have a lot of time for gaming so I really try not to replay things

[bleak egret]

was he shooting past you to hit something else? that happens a lot

[bleak egret]

understandable. ok, i dont usually like the ol debug. might be worth turning it on, spawning the crappiest mask possible, the little breather, and then turning debug off

[proven jewel]

I'm not sure. I was attacking the bandit base. He turned around and killed me, while the rest of my companions were attacking the bandits. Weirdly enough, after he killed me, in third person, I didn't see him continue to attack the bandits unlike the rest of my squad.

[abstract void]

Talk to a doctor to get your body fixed cheap. Rostok is a good place to do some easy jobs. If you ask around one random guy will usually ask you to deal with mutants in Rostok and the bar keep will always ask you. The guards will usually kill them if you just run around. The doctor there will keep you alive in the meantime.

[proven jewel]

I'll return the favor once the bandits are cleared.

[abstract void]

Are you wearing a medal artefact?

[pale cloak]

Thx good advice will do when I get up there. Shou,d I go there before Garbage?

[proven jewel]

Not wearing any artifacts.

[pale cloak]

To any vendors in the clear sky scamp so masks

I've see that sid rovitch does not

[bleak egret]

no one sells masks

or armors

or guns

[pale cloak]

Ughhhh

[bleak egret]

you will have to loot one, and get it repaired

or spawn one with debug

[pale cloak]

Brutal I wish the game had given me some clue I needed one

[bleak egret]

well

[pale cloak]

Can you suggest a good one to start with

[bleak egret]

you went to the most irradiated area on the face of the earth

with no mask

kinda one of those 4 head moments

[pale cloak]

True

[bleak egret]

[proven jewel]

Also, is it normal for enemies to spawn right next to you when you sleep? I woke up and instantly got killed by a merc who basically spawned on top of me.

[bleak egret]

the starter mask is called a breather or somehing. only covers the mouth and nose

[abstract void]

Garbage is much more dangerous. Plenty of mutants, bandits, and other problems. Good place to hunt or pick a few bandit corpses around the train depot.

[bleak egret]

bounty squad found ya

[pale cloak]

Man only 6700k from Sid to bring his package back, ooof

That mission Fd me up

[abstract void]

I've had a squad of like 10 Monolith spawn on me before. It usually happens after fast traveling or resting when a bounty hunter squad is planning to spawn.

[bleak egret]

sid is a bastard tbh lol

[pale cloak]

Yeah high prices too

[proven jewel]

Got it, thanks. Overall I like that mod, but it's definitely odd when it happens and I have 7 companions around me lol.

[abstract void]

6700K would be 6,700,000.

[pale cloak]

You know what I meant

6.7k

[proven jewel]

Are companions less responsive in this mod? It seems like it takes them a little longer than normal to respond to attacks, but maybe it's just been a while since I've played.

[abstract void]

Companions are bad.

[wind locust]

Hello everyone, all my mods were disable, how can I know which mod to activate ?

[bleak egret]

xray engine. companions have always been shit

[pale cloak]

Companions are suicidal though maybe they al2ays have been

[abstract void]

They're more trouble then they're worth 9 times out of 10.

[pale cloak]

Stand outside dur8ng emissions and psy storms

[bleak egret]

tbh companions kinda fuck balance too

[abstract void]

The only companion I would recommend is Hip since she is basically unkillable and has great carry weight.

[brisk zinc]

#│🔧troubleshooting scrambled mod list

[bleak egret]

not really "surviving" the zone if you have a total of 9 guns with you

[wind locust]

Thanks !

[calm tangle]

wdym?

its already instant

If its freezing / lagging upon open, you are carrying to many duplicates of items.

Probably patches and ammo, or something.

[bleak egret]

its pretty much inevitable once you create a base and start stashing things

[calm tangle]

Yeah, well its not really an issue if your at your base, cause you wouldn't be attacked.

more of an issue when your just walking around and opening your inventory, and if that's the case. Well like I said, probably carrying to many patches or something else.

[abstract void]

Create multiple stashes and sort them.

[bleak egret]

thats fair

no, artic has a point

i too carry like 90000 badges on me

[calm tangle]

You can do that. Usually with stashes, the problem is the armor / gun parts.

[bleak egret]

to insta turn in for quests, since they weigh 0

[calm tangle]

Yeah, me too. I had to stop once the lag was getting annoying.

Before I knew that was causing the lag, I was carrying like 1800 gunpowder on me all the time.

[bleak egret]

i wanna see you walk into a fire anomaly 🙂

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-satan-fire-flame-burn-gif-4507786

[calm tangle]

Its annoying asf, but it does kinda teach you to sort your inventory and only take whats essential

[abstract void]

I still hold onto patches because I just go gamble them away at the mercs every once in a while.

[abstract void]

One hell of a firework.

[calm tangle]

^ At this point I stash them, and grab the ones I know i'll turn in. I.e Military, Renegade, Bandits for CS or Duty for when I head up to Freedom area... Its kind of nice change of pace to the game but yeah. Anyway, no longer a question discussion so imma move to stalker-gen if you guys keep going.

[pale cloak]

so I spawned that in using deguig and equpped, then healed myself and my limbs

I am STILL taking damage over tiem though

and dying

is there a way to view details of any active effects that are leeching my health? this is really a bummer

I didn't have any icons in lower left

[bleak egret]

thats not good

well, the dudes who fix things have gone to sleep

[bleak egret]

id drop a note in #old-bugs and see if they can help you later

[pale cloak]

yeah ok, what info should I give them

[bleak egret]

well, they will want to know how many mods you have installed. if you installed any extras, disabled mods you shouldnt have disabled

that you did spawn a helmut

[pale cloak]

ok it's a vanilla GAMMA install as of last week

yeah

[bleak egret]

that you fought a burer and it ruined your game somehow

[pale cloak]

I am using the debugt

do you think it did?

I wnder if there's another effect on me that I'm not aware of, working as intended

like Ididn't realize the helmet thing

[bleak egret]

are you hungry, tired, sleepy, broken legs, broken torso, etc/

[pale cloak]

no to all

I healed 2x and did ibprofen 2x

it didn't heal the top right T

what does that stand for

ibuprofen doens't heal that top right T

[brisk zinc]

Did you get some artefacts recently?

[pale cloak]

no

for the most part

dang slooooow loading

current inventory

they are in containers

[brisk zinc]

My man you are dying

[bleak egret]

might want a new ss showing you now have a hat.

he has a hat now

[pale cloak]

since then I have added a gas mask

[brisk zinc]

You need to heal yourself

[pale cloak]

breather mask

100%

[brisk zinc]

Look at those limbs

[pale cloak]

yeah I am saying that I do heal myself w health kit then ibuprofen

get them up to 100

then they leech out and I die

let me send a more recent screen

[brisk zinc]

Can you show me in VC?

[pale cloak]

?

[brisk zinc]

In Lobby

Voice Call

Stream your game

[pale cloak]

sure if I can figure out how to

not that familiar w discord

[brisk zinc]

Give me a sec

I'll help you

[pale cloak]

thx

appreciate it

[willow aspen]

Hello, I have a quick question about the repair system. Is there a way to replace the parts of the gun without damaging the gun (dragging and dropping the parts of the gun in the inventory decreases the condition a bit)

I played Escape From Pripyat last and you could replace parts just by going to a workbench and replacing the parts, no condition drop. But when I tried it, It says I need a repair kit(?) is there anything im missing or do I shell out whats left in my poor wallet?

also, great modpack, I love it a lot

[pale cloak]

Piggybacking onto his question is there any tool at all that allows you to replace damaged barrel while in the field or do you always need workbench?

[graceful iron]

#╭📖faq message #╭📖faq this post explains the repair system in detail

[willow aspen]

Thanks, ill look at that

Oh yeah, much clearer detail than the one on the pda

[brisk zinc]

Read the damned #│📚manual

It's also on your PDA

Learn how to properly heal yourself

[pale cloak]

I did read it a few times but must not have understood properly

[bleak egret]

ok, im curious

how badly did you do the dumb

[pale cloak]

ha

[brisk zinc]

His torso was basically broken

He needed to heal properly

Now he knows how to do it

[bleak egret]

nullllllllllllllll

[pale cloak]

I wasn't understanding that post-heal like ibuprofen is temporary

[bleak egret]

you were so confident that you understood the healing LOL

im dying

[pale cloak]

I thoguht I did...so much for that

no, I'M dying

[brisk zinc]

He was losing health constantly because his torso was broken, no wonder

You want immersive game but can't handle damage
Can't bring 50kg with a broken torso after all

[knotty patrol]

I just started playing today, there's a lot to take in. Thanks for the video. I still don't understand most of it but I'm hoping it will make more sense as I continue to play.

[willow aspen]

Hey! Im glad it helped! 🙂

[knotty patrol]

Wait, I thought those are meant to permanently heal you (yellow to white) after you use a medkit? I had a damaged leg from a dog thing and it seemed to work. Does that mean it's only temporary and my leg will be damaged again?

[brisk zinc]

Post heal are temporary, yes

[graceful iron]

bruh

[brisk zinc]

That green bar you get when you use a post heal, it's temporary

[graceful iron]

wut

[brisk zinc]

What?

Post heal, the green bar

[graceful iron]

post heal is the perma heal

[brisk zinc]

What

[graceful iron]

read the manual

[brisk zinc]

I hate english

Not a manual thing

Anyway @knotty patrol that green bar is temporary

Easy

[graceful iron]

what green bar? unless you are using that green HUD i guess

[brisk zinc]

It's green

[knotty patrol]

From #│📚manual "To convert these temporary HP to permanent HP for your limbs (yellow to white HP) use post heal items (like Ibuprofen, with white dots in their description). "

[brisk zinc]

I refuse to believe it's yellow

If you wait I'll take a pic of what I see

[graceful iron]

are you intentionally trying to cause confusion ?

[pale cloak]

yes that is why I assumed that ibuprofen is a permanent heal

[brisk zinc]

I'm not kidding

I'm serious

[pale cloak]

I have been using it that way, but I don't think I was doing it right

[graceful iron]

ibuprofen is permanent heal

but you need a first aid before it

bandage or medkit

[pale cloak]

correct

[brisk zinc]

He assumed that Ibuprofen could heal everything, hence his problem

[graceful iron]

but ibuprofen only heals your arms and legs

[brisk zinc]

Now he knows what to do

Especially how to check which medicine you need to use for each limb

[pale cloak]

that is my usual approach

heal w/ med kit then ibuprofen

but I wasn't doing that w the bandage, which was a mistake

[hoary veldt]

Falco...

It's yellow

[brisk zinc]

I'll need to take a pic

Wait for it

[graceful iron]

he has the green HUD

[hoary veldt]

Ohhhhh

[bleak egret]

ibprofen will NOT heal your torso, you need the stabby needle thing for that

[brisk zinc]

You know I run the vanilla settings

[graceful iron]

yea, sure

[knotty patrol]

I saw there were a few types of post-heal stuff, so you need something better for your torso?

[hoary veldt]

Depends on what you need for it

There's a med called Sulfa-whatever the fuck that heals Torso and arms

But you can use Yadulin and Fentanyl for a whole body post heal

[graceful iron]

hover with your mouse over the medical item and look at properties, the dots show you what they will affect

[knotty patrol]

Ok thanks. I only found the Ibuprofen so far, but I saw the icons of the other stuff in the manual or PDA or somewhere. I'll check the dots when I can find/buy one of them

[brisk zinc]

@graceful iron How can this be yellow?

[hoary veldt]

That...

That's yellow

[knotty patrol]

White/gold or blue/black?

[brisk zinc]

Doesn't look very yellow to me

[brisk zinc]

Clearly blue and black

[hoary veldt]

Wha...

Nevermind then I guess?

[brisk zinc]

And this is the only gold part

[graceful iron]

i am sorry falco are you color blind ?

[brisk zinc]

I'm starting to believe I am for this specific kind of color

[graceful iron]

or just bored ?

[bleak egret]

falco has some weird ass monitor

[brisk zinc]

I'm not joking (you know I'm serious when I want to be serious)

[bleak egret]

falco, you may want to consider that your monitor's settings

are fucked

gamma's off or something

[brisk zinc]

I mean I see that it's yellow but it's a tint of yellow that basically is 95% green and 5% yellow

[fresh merlin]

@brisk zinc can you help me in #old-bugs fast travel is acting up

[brisk zinc]

Can't help you with that, already saw the log

[bleak egret]

he could if he tell you what color #old-bugs is

https://tenor.com/view/freaking-out-frustrated-the-simpsons-bart-lisa-gif-5514662

[brisk zinc]

Come on how can this be yellow?

[hoary veldt]

God dammit Falco it's yellow

[brisk zinc]

This is much closer to what I SEE

[graceful iron]

we are kinda just spamming in #🔨base-gamma-support at this point

[hoary veldt]

Anyways yes, enough of this

it's yellow

[brisk zinc]

It's a rightful question...

[brisk zinc]

I guess my eyes are fucked though, it's the only explanation, I seriously see this more than a "yellow" or a specific kind of "yellow"

[knotty patrol]

Long story short, post-heal changes it from color (temporary) to white (permanent)

[graceful iron]

yes

[brisk zinc]

Yes

I'm really trying to understand what kind of yellow everyone see

[fresh merlin]

can you save settings across complete installs ?

[hoary veldt]

You mean user settings?

[fresh merlin]

yea

[hoary veldt]

Yeah, go into your anomaly folder and into appdata

[brisk zinc]

#╭📖faq

[graceful iron]

#╭📖faq message #╭📖faq

[hoary veldt]

[brisk zinc]

Seriously at this point it's insulting to just not look in #╭📖faq

[hoary veldt]

Screw you mods I'm gonna explain it anyways

[bleak egret]

do you have one of those blue light dampener programs on like f.lux?

[brisk zinc]

Nope

I'm playing in 2K though

I need to try in 1080p at this point

[bleak egret]

playing in 1440p as well

[brisk zinc]

But the point remain

Even if it is 2K or not

The screen is just a screen

[brisk zinc]

You see yellow, I see this

I can try 1080p but at this point I seriously believe it's an"eyes" kind of thing

[bleak egret]

you wear glasses? i used to have prescription with a blue light filter coating and it was a noticable yellow

[brisk zinc]

Nope

[bleak egret]

ok, so basically you belong in the zone

like a snork or something LOL

[broken rock]

Wdym this is blue

[fresh merlin]

are the contents of the ".Grok's Modpack Installer" folder, updated each time we update ? Or it stays the same as the first time you download the installer

[brisk zinc]

Yes, Update GAMMA data updates this stuff

[celest junco]

Is there a way to unintrusively disable artefact condition? I ticked the option available in the "artefact condition" MCM page but the Jellyfish that you get for Fanatic's quest still was at 25% efficiency when picked up

[graceful iron]

dont tick/untick the artefact condition settings, they can cause issues

keep them default

you will have to disable artefact reinvention and its patches

at least get an artefact melter and try hunting artefacts, they are not a money source early anymore yes but they are really powerful

your money source in gamma is doing tasks

[brisk zinc]

@sweet spade what's your problem exactly?

[sweet spade]

so I have to kill a stalker for sultan as part of my main questline as a bandit and its in the top part of jupiter. Problem is whenever I go past like the bottom part of the map my game just crashes and now I can't even load back into my save

I assume something is loading in that's crashing my game whenever I walk past a certain point but I guess I saved my game in an area where that thing is just consistently loaded so my save is basically bricked

just crashes to desktop

i was hype too cuz I just got my psyhelm as bandit and it was a pain in the ass with disguises and everything 😔

[sweet spade]

the only txt document?

[graceful iron]

yes

[pale cloak]

wow I took a basic tourist escort mutant hunt in rookie village that just triggered a battle between loners and apparently sin, not military

[graceful iron]

drag and drop it here

[pale cloak]

entire rookie village except for the two main quest givers got slaughtered

[pale cloak]

along with sin

12 or so corpses to loot, and a bunch of failed quests for loners...there went my rep w them

[brisk zinc]

[sweet spade]

it was the only text file

[pale cloak]

does Gamma replace the miltary with sin in the bottom of the corden?

[graceful iron]

no

[brisk zinc]

Read #old-how-to properly

[pale cloak]

I think the two companions triggered the battle when they were hunting mutants near the base there

looted everyone and they were sin no russian miltary

they came over to the entrance to rookie loner village and began attacking

[sweet spade]

sorry for being dumb but could you be more specific on what I need to look for

[brisk zinc]

Your install path is wrong

It's clearly stated in #old-how-to that you can't put Anomaly or GAMMA on desktop

[sweet spade]

oh

okay

[brisk zinc]

inb4 but it worked till now

Yes I know, it's something that works until a certain point, then it can (and will) bring problems

[sweet spade]

well that helps a lot

ty

[brisk zinc]

Maybe your problem isn't related to that but still

[sweet spade]

It would make sense that it is

do I need to reinstall it or just move the files?

[brisk zinc]

You can move your files, you're gonna change your paths in MO2

[sweet spade]

okay I can do that

[brisk zinc]

If you can't manage to do that, you can just move everything, open MO2, let the program tells you that "there are problems" and then follow #old-how-to again

[sweet spade]

ok thank you for the help

[brisk zinc]

You already have everything so you won't download anything again

Follow #old-how-to from point 2, just to be sure

[sweet spade]

welp I reinstalled and still am facing the same issue

[brisk zinc]

Check mods 233 and 243

They should both be active, if you are missing one, run the installer as admin, Update GAMMA Data -> Complete GAMMA installation

If you already did it, we can try something else (same procedure though)

[sweet spade]

check as in turn them off?

cause they're both on

alright ill do the reinstall

I think just reinstalling may just fix my problem anyway

welp idk what the issue was but a complete install fixed it

thank you for your help again @brisk zinc I really appreciate what you do

[brisk zinc]

Yes that was what you needed to do, you were missing some files

[brisk zinc]

Thank you ❤️

[fresh merlin]

is there a debug way to increase goodwill?

[sweet spade]

in the execute on target area there is a be enemy neutral etc (goodwill)

[waxen token]

How do you enable debug mode in gamma?

[brisk zinc]

#╭📖faq

[waxen token]

yeah did that hasn't worked, will keep trying

[fresh merlin]

that is for a single target, not a faction

[sweet spade]

yeah not sure how you would do that

[silk knoll]

Hey if I get this correctly to install autumn redux I need to proceed like this tell me if there is something wrong :

I) I Clear shaders cache on the launcher

II)Copy appdata\user.ltx + bin (the whole folders -right?)

Del appdata\shaders_cache (from the directory C:\Anomaly\appdata\shaders_cache -right?)

III) install add-on on the mod organizer by selecting raw winrar

IV) Then when I install the add-on it prompts me to choose among four boxes to tick > should I tick them all ? or should I tick only the first one ?
the four boxes :

1. autumn season redux
   2)autumn season redux shaders
   3)Autumn Season Redux Animated Main Menu
   4)Vanilla Anomaly and Redux 1.1 fix

V) Should I disable any other mods ?
The other graphic mods I already disabled are : dead bushes and no leaves
I understand that you need to disable agressor but the box is already unticked : What do I do to disable it then ? i already tried searching for the agressor pack in the list and I cant find it only the Awene that is already unticked

VI) place it AFTER Agressor Grounds if you want to keep GAMMA Weathers,
or place it just BEFORE/ABOVE Particles Cinematic VFX3.5 1.1.2 BOTZ YAWM

My goal would be to have the fog and the summer vegetation but brown like during the autumn
is it where I am heading ? where should i place it after agressor or before Particles ?

[pale cloak]

Is it worth it to buy Stash locations from vendors? If there's a good chance of repair kits being in them I'd be inclined to buy them

[graceful iron]

just buy repair kits instead, deliver toolkits to mechanics and they will sell you repair kits

[slim sleet]

help @graceful iron

[graceful iron]

aggressor is already disabled, it was not disabled at the time of the guide.
i am the last person to ask how to get some visual addons working because i have no idea how, make sure to follow the instructions correctly and try things yourself and see which one fits more and try asking at #╟📸screenshots or #╟🎑reshades

[slim sleet]

thank you i will try but if anyone has infos they are welcome

[strange ledge]

Can I add magazines and magazine management to this mod?

[graceful iron]

mags redux is already in the pack ? just find it in optional and tick it?

[strange ledge]

Is it? let me check again

[graceful iron]

its not recommended tho

[strange ledge]

why?

[graceful iron]

bugs, missing content and huge ammo economy imbalance

[strange ledge]

so not every gun has it's respective magazines ? what happens to the guns which dont have them? crash?

[graceful iron]

some guns/conversions dont have magazines and you just cant use them, you can add mags yourself if you are willing to go that far

mag check and some other features of it can cause animation locks

you find way too much ammo and with a huge focus on crafting and making ammo rare and expensive in gamma its somewhat balance breaking, you will never run out of good ammo

[fresh merlin]

VELES detector says when closed it registers radiation + anomalies
does this mean it will warn us of anomalies even if we are not holding it?

[strange ledge]

I don't mind that. Is there a way to disable specific weapons ?

[graceful iron]

remove them from the npc loadouts ltxs

[graceful iron]

no, probably flavor text

[fresh merlin]

Shame

[strange ledge]

All right, thank you

[fresh merlin]

@graceful iron have you used and compared between desert eagle and p220 and fnx-45 ?

[graceful iron]

i have used all 3, they are all good but i just didnt like the FNX45, feels weird to shoot

p220 9mm is good for just a general use pistol/sidearm

p220 45 is just really good for small-medium mutants

eagle can kill mutants and a lot of stalkers but ammo is expensive

[celest junco]

Alright so I poked around and figured out how to do what I want to do; posting it here for anyone in the future searching for "artefact condition" or "artefact efficiency"

If you want to de facto disable artefact condition in a minimally intrusive way, open GAMMA Artefacts Reinvention in file explorer by right clicking the mod in MO2, navigate to gamedata/scripts

Open grok_artefacts_random_condition.script in notepad++. Edit
arti_min_eff and arti_max_eff to whatever you want. Obviously, those lines refer to minimum and maxium efficiency of the artefacts that will spawn. Tested with the jellyfish that spawns in Fanatic's tutorial and seems to work.

The first two lines seem to refer to the artefacts that will spawn in Dynamic Anomalies and the second two probably normal anomalies. Don't know for sure though. Totally breaks game balance but if you want to do it that's one way

[willow hawk]

Main issue is that everytime one add-on is updated the checksum will fail and will need to be updated. I have better things to do with my life than constantly updating that file

Most likely BAS files aren't properly installed.

[willow hawk]

There's always "exo" and exo eh

[willow hawk]

Disassemble ammo

[brisk zinc]

I don't know the difference then

[graceful iron]

proto exo and full exoskeletons. proto exo are much weaker and wont be deleted by the no exo south

[willow hawk]

Usually related to using the Alt key while disassembling. Don't do that

[willow hawk]

Using the free zoom keybind will fix FOV errors

[willow hawk]

Drink

[graceful iron]

they figured it out, they had a damaged torso and were using ibuprofen to heal it

[willow hawk]

Ah

[short storm]

I got a question.
Is it safe or okay to install combat music addon together with GAMMA files? Are there any audio files that can potentially conflict dynamic combat music?

[slim sleet]

Hey grok good job for your modpack 🙂
i cant install autumn redux 5
i posted a message what am i doing wrong ?

[pale cloak]

OK, haven't been finding many in stashes which is why I asked...maybe buying stash locations spawns them?

[graceful iron]

you cant find repair kits in stashes

you can find toolkits in stashes and then craft repair kits, or buy repair kits from technicians after you give them toolkits

[pale cloak]

I meant toolkits

[graceful iron]

its better to do quests to get stashes, its not worth buying stash locations

[simple cipher]

helo, does anyone have an idea why don't the check ammo animations play?

otherwise, the actual checking works, the mag content is displayed after some 2 second delay

[fresh merlin]

what is this beeping sound ? is it radiation?

[simple cipher]

ooooh, if you have the busy hands fix checked in mcm, the animation wont play...

[graceful iron]

the controller body makes those sounds

[graceful iron]

the animation can cause busy hands, use it at your own risk

[simple cipher]

yeah, thought so. i'll give it a try and check how often it happens

[fresh merlin]

Lol. Why?

It's ded

[graceful iron]

idk, its a vanilla anomaly feature

[stoic moth]

There's an addon you can get to remove the sound

[graceful iron]

does it bother people that much?

[stoic moth]

Dunno. I don't mind it. Helps me from having to pull out the pda when I can't find a mutant body

[fresh merlin]

I have pda level 3 and i don't think it detects mutant corpses. Is that a feature

[knotty patrol]

Does everybody just keep stashes at every home area/zone? Any tips what stuff to leave where?

[fresh merlin]

One stash at Rostok

[stoic moth]

Oh I thought it did track mutants

[graceful iron]

keep a stash at a central place where you can take quests and have access to a technician

[stoic moth]

My first stash I usually at the farm

[knotty patrol]

I haven't left Cordon yet (I'm still new) but does mean I have to walk back here to get my stuff?

[stoic moth]

Yup. You can fast travel to your stash though

Anyone know if weapon upgrades persist across weapons with kits attached?

[sharp cradle]

is it worth doing the investigate conspiracy quests ? I really dont feel like doing x18

[graceful iron]

they persist

[graceful iron]

you dont have to, the ending is just fighting monolith and shutting off the c-con (basically SoC ending)

[stoic moth]

Oh so you're better off adding a kit after you unlock level 3 upgrades?

[sharp cradle]

ah ok then

[fresh merlin]

is this a flying moving artifact lol

how would I catch it

[slow fox]

The anomaly moves it

[fresh merlin]

so what now

[graceful iron]

its normal, most artefacts move around

try moving close to it and once it appears it will fall down to the ground

[fresh merlin]

I have tried to cut its path but the display is pretty inaccurate in terms of exact positioning?

[rugged sable]

Anyone havin lag when trading with petrenko? When I click on an item a huge lag spike kicks in, and when I finally click on trade it takes like 5-10 sec. This only happens me with petrenko, other traders works fine. Even traders with wider variety of items.

[mystic finch]

Iv'e found quite a few bugged ones in yantar and rostok in rostok they spawn outside the map in yantar I couldn't find it

[mystic finch]

Iv'e found it lags slightly when talking to Petrenko for me

[rugged sable]

So I am not the only one at least 😄

but not when speaking, when trading, but I think we think the same with different words

[graceful iron]

you can try some of the things in #old-framerate-optimisation if you are getting stutters, the core 0 affinity can help for some pcs

[stoic moth]

There's one in yantar at the campfire anomaly that spawns in between the claw and the ground

[mystic finch]

I have encountered this in efp though as well so I think it's just the game

[stoic moth]

You'd have to no clip to get to it

[fresh merlin]

Did you alt tab

[mystic finch]

and what about rostok they spawn outside the map

[graceful iron]

tabbing out from anomaly can cause issues, try avoiding that

[stoic moth]

Those are gone

[rugged sable]

Maybe the core 0 affinity uncheck will solve it, I will try soon

[rugged sable]

Nope, just clicking on items

Same without core 0

[graceful iron]

should use #🔨modded-gamma-support when adding or removing addons from the pack

you can try adding it and seeing if it works, also check if it needs any patches

[fresh merlin]

I'm now positive the artifact is not appearing

I have even run into the anomalies

Is there a ritual to summon it

[graceful iron]

you can use numpad 0 to freecam to it while having debug enabled

[fresh merlin]

Still nothing

it moves from vortex to vortex

in a pattern

Sometimes it disappears

Only to reappear

I am dying for science

[rugged sable]

Got the problem with petrenko trade lag...

I added money with debug mode, bought everything, still lagging, and there is still 630~ kg stuff with petrenko.
Then I clicked on Trade(All) in debug menu, and every armor or weapon which are can not be seen normally was there. I moved them to a stash, tried to sell something and no lag.

[fresh merlin]

Petrenko is a mystery

[rugged sable]

Always been xD

did you tried shooting the artifact away? stupid question I think but maybe...

[fresh merlin]

What the hell is this artifact

I have died 10 times
