[trim bloom]

it'll be unjam reload, starter items are not broken has nothing to do with mags redux

[jovial kestrel]

yeah overwrites overwritten but it appears it wasn't even ticked from doing it ingame in the mod config

[trim bloom]

can confirm that I have had no issues at all with using mags for a long time with starter items are not broken

[barren path]

If i remeber well, there was an issue when you start a new game and mags don't spawn with your starting weapon

not sure if that was fixed or not

[trim bloom]

Probably was, I've never had that issue in the months I've been playing GAMMA with mags

[jovial kestrel]

ah ok thanks guys will check it out

[jovial kestrel]

is it worth it or is it too much hassle?

the mod i mean

[trim bloom]

I know what you mean. Personally I enjoy it

[sudden egret]

yeah, that's what I thought but sometimes it seems to give a different artifact

[trim bloom]

But I've been playing Anomaly with mags for years at this point

[idle storm]

its just makes the game harder since enemys dont seem to need to reload mags seperate

[trim bloom]

So at this point it just feels natural

[idle storm]

its extra steps in management not really more

[trim bloom]

The biggest improvement in my eyes is being able to have extended magazines for guns that had a fixed capacity

[idle storm]

thats true tho

[trim bloom]

especially since there's interoperability in NATO weapons, you can end up with 60 rd drum mags in an M4 that normally is limited to 30

etc.

[jovial kestrel]

cool hey I will try it and see how i get on with it

[dense ridge]

How come when I change my difficulty from medium to easy my max carry weight decreases?

[barren path]

the 60 rd for the ak 12 monolith is a must have

[idle storm]

there is a m4 with a 60 round mag in the normal game tho

[trim bloom]

There is, and I don't like its animation much

[idle storm]

and the ak12 monlith also has 60 rounds by default

[trim bloom]

I much prefer the Howa type 20, which is limited to 30 in the base game

but has a nice scope

[barren path]

the modded one, not the standard one with a 45 rd mags ^^

i'm using it now

[trim bloom]

It gives me the freedom to use the guns I want without being constrained by magazine capacity

[jovial kestrel]

so does this mean guns won't jam now if I disable?

[trim bloom]

Disable what?

[idle storm]

no

[barren path]

no, the unjam key is on w by default

[trim bloom]

Mags redux doesn't control gun jams

[barren path]

or Z on qwert ?

[trim bloom]

and unjam reload on the same key just changes a keybind in script

I think by default it's Z, yeah

you can check this in MCM

or if not there it's in the keybinds section

[idle storm]

Z und QWERTZ or QWERTY?

[barren path]

qwerty ?

it's w on azerty

so, since the w is the z key on qwerty, that seems logical 😁

[idle storm]

true ^^

What country is azerty from?

[jovial kestrel]

ok cool it seems there is a mod that disables this for me anyway

i should stop asking questions and just look at what i am doing 😄

thank though for the help boys and girls

[barren path]

France, and French talking country mostly ^^

[glacial prawn]

Sorry if I missed it the last time I asked, work wifi really doesn't like discord unless I get DMs.

Is the zombie horde mode (survival) not compatible with Gamma? Can't seem to get it working, and I remember the install notes only mentioned warfare mode being unstable. My bad if I missed it, but is survival also incompatible/unstable?

[tidal raft]

Gamma focuses exclusively on free-play or story mode.

[glacial prawn]

Ahh okay appreciate it! At least I know I'm not going crazy trying to figure out what's not working🤣

[atomic harbor]

hey i have a question whenever i reload a gun the character just puts it away and pulls it out i have to manually drag the mag into the gun is that intentional or is a bug i cant tell

[stoic moth]

Did you add the mag to your load out?

[tidal raft]

A few things to think about:
— Are you using MagsRedux?
—— if yes, do you have magasines equipped in your loadout?
— Is the firearm jammed? Check #│💻keybinds-in-gamma for clearing it.

[atomic harbor]

def isnt jamming so ill look more into the first too its bound to be one of them

[sudden egret]

after you give rogue the gauss rifle do you just have to wait around or

[quiet rock]

"Mags will now drop with 0 ammo in them for mags users" this is a mandatory update? or it can be disabled. I ask because mags that were inside of guns don't have any bullets

ejected mags i mean

or only applies to mags that spawn inside of stashes

[wise sparrow]

the bullets are just in the inventory now it's a really good change

before with mags enabled you got way more ammo from dead stalkers than intended so that change makes the ammo economy the same as without mags

[quiet rock]

ahhhh ok

[wise sparrow]

some guns that spawn on dead bodies for a task will still have ammo in the mag though same as playing without mags

[quiet rock]

thanks for answering

[wise sparrow]

disable GAMMA reload and unjam on same key in MO2 and then make sure that reload is bound to R and unjam bound to Z in the keybinds. you can quickly add mags to your loadout with alt+left click

[atomic harbor]

ok

[graceful iron]

talk to him again, and ask him about himself

[fringe tide]

what is the mod that requires me to be tired in order to sleep? wanted to disable in the mcm

[tidal raft]

#old-how-to

You can Ctrl+F in #🔨modded-gamma-support if someone has done that earlier.

[mystic arrow]

I'm supposed to help a cs squad take out a bunch of renegades in the swamp but when i get there, there are no clear sky soldiers, only enemies?

[wise sparrow]

they take their sweet time to get there. the squad spawns when you get the task from cold and then they RP walk towards the renegades as slow as they possibly can.

[mystic arrow]

Ahhh okay thanks

[stark thunder]

I'm getting a CTD or just a general black screen freeze every.. idk, now and then. Every hour or so. It's irritating, but I am having trouble pinpointing the cause. Is there any existing problems I should be looking into?

[bleak egret]

well, when it happens, check crash log

[stark thunder]

crash log as in the xray log?

[bleak egret]

yeah, location is in the channel name

[stark thunder]

i dont see anything that stands out

[vapid harbor]

How do you recharge the melter? I read the guide and it said you can just drag artefacts onto it, but it isn't working.

[bleak egret]

i believe you need to upload the log immediately after you crash

as the log will be overwritten when you load the game successfully

[bleak egret]

drag melter onto artefact

[stark thunder]

I'll wait for the next one then

[vapid harbor]

Doh

Thanks!

[zenith stirrup]

When trying to launch MO2 says I only have 114 add ons installed even though I've gone through the process of updating and doing to install after it said it the first time

[wise sparrow]

#╭📖faq message

go to the moddb home page to make sure you aren't blocked as a bot and also try changing the mirror. you should be running the 3.5 installer if you don't have it already.

[bold stump]

Was the poll Grok made about monolith selling weapons and armour passed? If yes, where can you buy them?

[vapid harbor]

Hasn't been implemented yet

[crystal escarp]

Guys I understood that outfits can not be bought anymore, but can you please tell a “legal” way to get armour of your own faction? How Grok means to do that? Do we have to rely on drops (so to expect faction mates to die sometimes)?

[vapid harbor]

That or find them in stashes

Sometimes can be given from mission rewards, such as clear sky

[willow hawk]

"legal" is > get another enemy faction suit > attach patch on > kill some people from your faction

[vapid harbor]

Oh, that too

[crystal escarp]

Thx Grok 🙂

[austere mortar]

can someone drag lattest target_prior.script from gamma? ;p

[austere mortar]

@willow hawk i think u'll be interested in lattest update, something similar to ur no-exo at south addon but more global ;p

[odd cape]

Quick question, how do I turn on debug mode

[rare sluice]

F7

[odd cape]

Its on be default?

Nice

[rare sluice]

What do you mean, you turned it on in the options right?

[wise sparrow]

i don't think so. if f7 doesn't work you just choose the anomaly launcher in MO2 and then tick debug and start the game with the launcher.

[jagged lance]

F7 is for the debug menu

[odd cape]

I switched to DX11 which means that the anomaly launcher dosent show up to select debug mode. Is it in ingame settings to turn it on?

[jagged lance]

???

its in the anomaly launcher startup window

before you go into the game

its a little box you tick

[odd cape]

Yea but I switched to DX11 AVX

[rare sluice]

Launcher doesn't show if you do DX11 AVX

[jagged lance]

cant you just run the launcher from the exe

pretty sure thats what i did to turn it on

[wise sparrow]

#╭📖faq message

[rare sluice]

If you turned it on earlier then it's still on

[odd cape]

Hmm I did not

Guess I gotta go back to the anomaly launcher

Wish it was easier to turn it on ingame instead of the launcher window

[sour seal]

is there an auto disassemble function? like when i mark certain ammo types as junk it would disassemble it when i pick it up?

[ripe cove]

hey guys i was wondering what the mods in the GAMMA Disabled category inside MO2 are meant to do. meaning, are they optional?, or .....

[plush wharf]

Nope, keep em off. Can cause problems.

[willow hawk]

Thanks I need to check it out, maybe after 1.0, I'm happy with the current balance and I don't want to add new potential issues haha

[austere mortar]

ye people rarely report anything ;[ i only test functionality

[willow hawk]

@austere mortar just like the Crook's UI addon on moddb

it has a huge flaw and no one picked it up...

I need to update it actually, but it removes a large "muh immersion" feature so I know I will get a lot of dumb complains > I don't want to deal with it > the save killer bug is still on the moddb version

basically mdata is growing a lot because of all the NPC names stored in mdata, and eventually, your save just blow up after X npcs saved

modders should remember to keep mdata as little as possible, or clean it regularly

[austere mortar]

oh i heard about something like that earlier

iterating through table that has around 400 entries can crash game xd

[willow hawk]

really ?

xray...

[austere mortar]

or it wont even load game, dont remember

[willow hawk]

400 entries in a dict is nothing

and yet it can manage for loops on 65k items without dying

[slow fox]

is there a list of guns nimble can upgrade? i just returned from zaton so dont want to go back if there isnt anything i like

[willow hawk]

hum no

[slow fox]

guess ill have to not be lazy and walk then

[carmine wyvern]

are the RF Receiver "quests" from Anonymous random?

I spawned with the RF Receiver and got the initial message "....if you get a RF we can get started" but never heard of them since then

in the other savegame i got the "quest" in like 5 minutes after first spawning in

[austere mortar]

maybe its the symbol amount idk, but heres Raven's figuring it out xd
#463899353480691738 message

basically they moved the whole table from script to ltx and it stopped crashing
(names are long too so i guess issues can be similar ;p)

[plush wharf]

Each time you find the package you'll get another randomly generated one ad infinitum

[carmine wyvern]

good to know, but i am still waiting for the first one to find

maybe i need to drop and re-loot the RF Receiver

maybe the one i spawn with doesnt trigger the initial one to find

[north turret]

Am i the only one who can't figure out how to attach the ZF scope to the Kar98? in the tooltip of the kar98 it says "zf scope series" and there's no hint that you need a certain tool or anything to make it happen.

[plush wharf]

I'd say just keep waiting, you should get the prompt for the first one in time

[carmine wyvern]

aight, i will probably spend the meantime for finding ammo until then 😂

[plush wharf]

Did you spawn the scope with debug? There are two that look the same, make sure you have the right one

[north turret]

yep, wanted to test if the weapon and scope are worth fixing the kar98 up. Thank you very much!

[plush wharf]

forewarning, it doesnt come off after you put it on

[north turret]

haha. that's no problem, wouldn't use it without it anyway. WW2 Iron sights are not really great imo. 😅

[austere mortar]

oh, also we cant save objects ;p especially m_data (obj id is preferable)

[civic wharf]

No need to back up my settings and keybinds if I'm just getting stuff from #📢development right?

[plush wharf]

just keep a backup in the folder for the user ltx, complete installs wont remove it

[rare sluice]

What guns do you like. Got a list here

[muted spindle]

In CS missions, where can I found CS attack groups, attacking renegade bases with TOZ alone was fun, but little bit hard :D

[sullen pebble]

anyone here knows how to fix the lead container. i can't put the artifact inside it

[north turret]

no they don't

[civic wharf]

is it an artifact that doesn't emit radiation?

[sullen pebble]

is there a difference?

[plucky solstice]

who sells 5.45x39

[sullen pebble]

the artifact is the nutcracker and it kills me for 15 seconds. sorry i mean't yes

[civic wharf]

perk-based artifact don't emit radiation so no point trying to store them in lead containers

[sullen pebble]

but it kills me after i pick it up

i just want to sell it

[plush wharf]

Which artefact are you picking up?

[sullen pebble]

its called a nutcracker the artifact located in god's arce anomaly

[gloomy rose]

#│📚manual will cover your question 😉 ... In short: Warsaw Pact (WP) Traders with your reputation high enough

[sour seal]

is merc ace seva the best all around armor?

[gloomy rose]

Are you sure you are not dying by the radiation in the anomaly field or by something else? Because the nutcracker should not eradiate anything

[plucky solstice]

aright thx

[plush wharf]

Dunno, consult the author of whatever mod added this artefact

[sullen pebble]

I'm using the lead container from the pick item

[plush wharf]

Can you screenshot the artefact?

[plush wharf]

merc ace is very good but outclassed in protection by nosorogs

[vapid harbor]

Nosorog is much more expensive to maintain tho

[gloomy rose]

By every protection? Or just by rupture and ballistic? 'cause the ACE is all-around a really solid jack-of-all-trades armor

[plush wharf]

By BR class. You'll want to use a nosorog when fighting anyone with AP ammo but the merc ace will be the best armor that doesn't require batteries

[sullen valve]

Is disassembling the same as “field strip “

?

[rare sluice]

No

Disassemble destroys the gun

Field strip just takes out some parts which can later be assembled

[gloomy rose]

If I remember correctly: field stripping also has a chance to reduce the condition of the parts you extract

[sullen valve]

Sometimes I disassemble, I get the parts I don’t want 😦

I guess I can drop the low condition ones

Or sell it to the technician if I can

[vapid harbor]

If you disassemble with a multi you'll get every high condition part

Just drop the rest

[sullen valve]

Ahhh ok Ty. Thatlll save much time

[vapid harbor]

[willow hawk]

I'm planning on changing the recipe by using electric artefacts to make gauss batteries

it's also a good way to make money I think

which I don't like so much haha

[vapid harbor]

Maybe higher tier artefacts

T1 or T2 would be far too easy

Though could always just make the player unable to sell batteries, don't see a reason why any trader would want to buy them

[slow fox]

What effect does an Accuracy +20% have on a gun like KS-23 shooting shrapnel? Like is it gonna improve the distance the particles stay together? @willow hawk

Or no real effect?

[vapid harbor]

Not sure if it affects buckshot spread, but it does affect slugs

[slow fox]

Yeah i wonder about the buckshot spread

[vapid harbor]

I imagine it would have the same effect. KS-23 in particular is pretty inaccurate with buckshot though

[rare sluice]

Somebody scream for Grok

[vapid harbor]

GROK!!!!!

[burnt reef]

Hi, everyone!
Mb someone will be able to help.
Even when I turn on the Warfare ALife overhaul I can't choose it in the settings and also can't simultaneously choose story and warfare mods. Is it some kind of bug or modpack restriction?

[vapid harbor]

Warfare and story mode aren't compatible

[rare sluice]

I think that's just Anomaly yeah

[vapid harbor]

It's a separate mode like survival

[burnt reef]

I could do it just with the Warfare Alife overhaul. It's one of it's features

[rare sluice]

You're not missing much with the story, promise

[vapid harbor]

It's good the first time around, after that meh

[abstract trout]

does anyone know what causes the color change depending on where I am pointing my cursor?

[willow hawk]

it's a vanilla anomaly issue in certain areas

otherwise, it can be dynamic tonemap parameters

[abstract trout]

thx

[severe shadow]

#│📚manual reports you can buy NVGs from traders but I can't find them in trading screen, is that info up to date?

[hoary veldt]

Ecos at supply level 2 sell tier 1 NVGs

[north turret]

Basically just improve your relations with the Ecologists then you'll start seeing NVG's

[severe shadow]

So they're selled only by Ecos, thanks!

[dusty lintel]

i found one in a stash

[drowsy sonnet]

is it possible to play on dx8?

cuz like, shitty laptop gang

[viscid robin]

Is there a key to do voice emotes(taunt)? Like I know you do in some kills.

[civic wharf]

What are the conditions to properly change into a disguise without getting the "you've been seen" thing? I'm on the edge of the map, at night, no stalkers around, armor at 100% condition
removing the outfit, tearing the patch off and reapplying the path solved it, huh

[civic wharf]

#╭📖faq message

[drowsy sonnet]

Shit, I'm blind 🥲 thank you so much

[magic reef]

Any recommendatiions how to do the Cold quest clear renegades at the pump station ironman? No sniper.

[woeful mason]

I've got Moderate relation with Ecos, and they are still only selling Gen 1 NVGs. Is this intentional?

Also, I cant get techs to repair my armor anymore...?

[carmine wyvern]

i think you need it to do yourself now

guns certainly work

but it only "cleans" the gun, internal parts are not getting repaired

[woeful mason]

Yes that i already know and found my way through working that angle

[carmine wyvern]

i think its to stop you getting a really good helmet/armor early on with luck

i got a nice gasmask, but i cant to shit with it until i find the Medium repair kit

[woeful mason]

but now, i jsut dont understand how to get new armors now. So youre supposed to find them in stashes, but you get them at condition 20% at best, and for a SEVA suit (im on the northern part now) I need a Heavy armor kit, which neither Moderate nor Major relation traders are selling

[civic wharf]

#╭📖faq message

[woeful mason]

" I need a Heavy armor kit, which neither Moderate nor Major relation traders are selling "

[carmine wyvern]

guide is no use if you dont get the repair kit in the first place

[civic wharf]

I think I've seen heavy armor on supply lvl 5 merchants but it's much easier to craft it

[jagged lance]

mechanics sell kits depending on what toolkits youve given them

so giving them basic tools lets you buy light armour kits from them, advanced for medium and expert for heavy/exo

[carmine wyvern]

huh

interesting

good to know

[woeful mason]

Thats one word for it

[civic wharf]

I mean with advanced tools on you you can just craft the heavy armor kit yourself

[jagged lance]

so you need to get toolkits

[carmine wyvern]

that requires the tools

[jagged lance]

i mean tools yeah

[carmine wyvern]

which i guess come from stash rewards

[jagged lance]

yes

[civic wharf]

you can also craft advanced tools with 5x basic

[jagged lance]

the majority of progression in GAMMA comes from stashes

[carmine wyvern]

kinda sucks that all the stash locations i know are empty now :(

[jagged lance]

you need coords from quests before stashes will give you stuff

[woeful mason]

Ive found 2 advanced toolkits and 0 expert ones 23 ingame days in, which i gave to the techs so they could fix my armors

[carmine wyvern]

yea i know

[civic wharf]

you need to do quests to get marked stashes, unmarked stashes will not contain anything

[carmine wyvern]

always got a good start with all the stashes i knew from the top of my head

in anomaly that is

[jagged lance]

yep which is why its different here

[civic wharf]

go further north then

[woeful mason]

Further than Zaton?

[carmine wyvern]

zaton is pretty far south

[jagged lance]

zaton is fine

redforest and above is where experts spawn

[civic wharf]

anywhere north of Red Forest expert tools can drop

[carmine wyvern]

north is outskirts for me

🗒️

write that down, write that down!

[civic wharf]

also with how much cheaper it is to just craft all the toolkits you need for weapons/armors if you just carry basic + advanced tools on you it's fairly inconvenient to choose to run to mechanics to fix your gear

[carmine wyvern]

always choose mechanics in anomaly

but i guess it will be different in Gamma

[civic wharf]

pull parts in decent condition from weapons/armors > disassemble junk > buy basic shit like glues and oils from mechanics > craft toolkits you need > fix parts + weapons/armors > profit

[woeful mason]

Ive got a metric tonne of roubles from doing quests, that i primarily used to repair armors i would find

[civic wharf]

doesn't repair individual parts though does it?

[woeful mason]

For armors? yes it did

i find going through that process for guns was more than enough

[carmine wyvern]

i made it a habit in anomaly to dismantle everything i see

so i never really had any issues

i got a monolith ak-12 in shoddy condition, 2 or 3 duties later is was funtional except the barrel

barrel is 59% so i sadly cant use a ramrod

[civic wharf]

interesting, I just hoarded all the good parts I could find from early game and now I pretty much have everything I need no matter what gun/armor I bring to my stash to fix to 100% and upgrade straight away

[woeful mason]

Ok, so is there i way i can change a config file to reenable tech repairs?

for armors

[civic wharf]

and if you make a note which parts you need for the weapon/armor you're looking to fix, there's a good chance you'll run into a mechanic that sells that part without you having to roll loot to find it

[carmine wyvern]

its really expensive to buy parts in early game tho

7000 for a nearly 100% part is a hefty price

which is fine by me

i am just glad i switched form 45 acp to 9mm

9mm AP is a godsent in the early game

[civic wharf]

you don't need to buy parts early game because everyone is packing what you're looking to pack anyway

[carmine wyvern]

yeah true

saw some really neat guns on monoliths too

the ak-12 i got is really nice, but i wouldnt mind a proper 5.56 rifle

or the sr-25

stoked to see what kind of guns are in the game now

[civic wharf]

sadly gated behind advanced weapon toolkit which is expert tools

[jagged lance]

weapons arent gated the same way armours are

you can get a 100% condition advanced gun with no toolkits whatsoever

but you cant with armour

[woeful mason]

any way to reenable tech armor repairs?

[spare gate]

how do i update the installer to 3.5, mine is only 3.3?

[spare gate]

I have the exact same problem

[willow hawk]

#📢announcements

I didn't update it in the gamma client because 1.0 is around the corner anyways

[ornate salmon]

cant wait bro

[slow topaz]

thanks, do i need to install 3.4 as well?

[ornate salmon]

no its just the .exe

download the latest one from announcements

[spare gate]

ok thank you

[vapid harbor]

Anoyone know what's up with this stash in radar? I can't interact with it at all

[tidal raft]

It's already posted in #old-bugs

[vapid harbor]

Whoops, sorry!

[sullen valve]

I’ve been getting a lot of pop ins lately, sometimes when I look at an enemy far away, their body is rendered but not the head

Should I increase render distance to fix this? Or is there another problem I don’t know about. If I get the chance, I’ll screen shot it

[severe shadow]

In MCM there's a new keybind called "Manual Tilt Keybind", what's that? Wich mod is it part of?

[reef blade]

It's like the weapon tilting addon but you can do it manually

Just by hitting a key and not only when near an object

[willow hawk]

no

[sick viper]

But you can't repair wasted barrel on "advanced" gun without toolkit, which sometimes leads to heavy dps drop. My 100% dvl-10 after grok's damage reducing rework switched from slightly less effective anti-armor rifle to a nap gun - it couldn't one-hit even loner in jacket - they would just fall down to the ground. Armor, on the other hand, can be repaired with lots of money.

[patent jay]

I'm constantly irradiated but the geiger counter always reads 0msv (unless I've ingested something of course). I've tried removing all items and my suit but no chop - I can't sleep despite being tired, is this a known bug of some sort? Any suggestions on console fixes if so?

I managed to expunge the 0msv by going to a medic and paying to have it removed but it's happened over and over, still not sure why it's happening

[sick viper]

Are you getting it constantly or just in some areas? 0msv on geiger is weird, but otherwise looks like you're getting into heavy radiation pocket. They sometimes spawn in sleeping areas, too, like gas station at dark valley or cottage at the north of army warehouse map.

[patent jay]

it affects me then stays - it doesn't have an affect me unless I sleep (and can't) and I get the radiation flashing logo all the time.

[dusty lintel]

i have major stutters

its so weird

[sick viper]

Haven't met this personally, sorry. It might be a bug. Have you tried to load previous save?

[graceful iron]

you picked up some artefact that went invisible in your inventory ?

[patent jay]

yeah I've been seeing it on and off for quite some time (I save constantly through the console so I've seen it on >100 saves). I picked up an RF tracker which I can't get rid of or dismantle but it indicates no radiation.... Tried removing everything in inventory to no change

[patent jay]

artifacts can become invisible?

[graceful iron]

there is one bugged artefact, but it was fixed in a recent dynamic anomalies overhaul update

you can try updating the addon manually or doing a complete installation if you havent done one recently

[patent jay]

Thanks will give that a go

[willow hawk]

100% barrel ? What

[willow hawk]

Don't you have the anomalous bread ?

[patent jay]

Did early on but sold it to Sidorovich. I actually offloaded everything to a stash and the radiation stayed...

[manic cairn]

So I think i fragged my save.

Tried to fix the busy hands bug as i got tired of the fix malfunction causing it with some guns, followed the instructions in troubleshooting

Now my latest saves wont load

Anyone else had this or know a fix?

[graceful iron]

did you try to undo the changes you did? also post the log after crashing

[manic cairn]

I have no idea how to find a log

[graceful iron]

the log is in anomaly/appdata/logs

[manic cairn]

Just noticed this in the mod menu Anomaly Magazines Redux

Warning: After you install this, your save games will no longer be compatible with vanilla game. Removal of this addon might require restarting your game. Make backups.

😂

[graceful iron]

what? did you remove mags redux from an existing save?

[manic cairn]

no i just reinstalled it as per the instructions in #│🔧troubleshooting

I fixed it, required ticking the "PPP" option thats not mentioned in troubleshooting

thanks anyway @graceful iron

[sick viper]

I mean weapon with 100% condition, i.e. dvl-10 saboteur, but with heavily damaged barrel. It will work flawlessly, but damage output is equal to tranquilizer rifle.

[vapid harbor]

Damage is determined by barrel condition

[azure valve]

More of a general question I’ve been playing for a week now and every time there’s an update I have updated the GAMMA data & Only install GAMMA addons and the occasional complete install when told too (like today). Are there any risks involved when it comes to doing this to my saves? Or should I just worry when told explicitly to start a new save/run?

It's safe to keep playing unless stated otherwise

[graceful iron]

unless grok posts something in #📢announcements, existing saves are always safe

[azure valve]

Sounds good appreciate your responses

[manic matrix]

is it possible to make it such that traders sell badly damaged weapons, and very rarely a high durability weapon or two, but scale the price of good weapons a lot? feels kinda weird that there's so many guns around, but traders don't have any for sale

[tidal raft]

#╭📖faq

[dusty lintel]

i have done that

[simple cipher]

how can i get to doctor? in the north-western region of the swamp? there's a long fence i can't get around

[bleak egret]

gap in fence, middleish of the north swamps

[simple cipher]

thanks man

[severe scaffold]

My game crash after last update, cant even get to main menu. Here is the log, any idea why?

Nvm I didn't know there is new installer.

[willow hawk]

Aaah. Well actually my last change to damaged barrel was actually a buff

[simple cipher]

do i remember correctly or should i avoid courier quests form wolf?

[willow hawk]

@sick viper

[sick viper]

Did I... Did I read this exact table backwards? Yeah, I did... Sorry. Shame on me.

[split copper]

do i have to delete efp or can i just make new profile in MO2 and just do casual gamma installation ?

[tidal raft]

#old-how-to

[clever hound]

Idk, did many myself and seen no issues what so ever

I was wondering, has anyone actually tested weapons with and without upgrades ? Like how much Accuracy and Flatness impacts weapon ? Recoil upgrade - simple, less climbing, Handling - less swaying when having a high zoom scope. But those previous ones are sus to me.

[bleak egret]

sure

[tidal raft]

Handling is not less scope sway. #🔨base-gamma-support

[clever hound]

Oh right, its supposed to be for moving around. Sorry, my bad

[tidal raft]

[clever hound]

Lemme do some research real quick. I hope I can answers this for myself and everyone else who is curious

[mossy grove]

Excuse me guys, how do I save configs between Gamma reinstalls for the mods?

[hoary veldt]

Your user configs or the mod configs?

[radiant summit]

Is the classic textures addon compatible with Autumn Season?

[radiant summit]

Updated gamma data and complete gamma installation, but still unsure why its happening

[willow hawk]

you are missing DLTX pack additional storyline addon

[radiant summit]

Damn, I thought the installer downloaded it

[willow hawk]

be sure to use the installer v3.5

[radiant summit]

lemme check

You're right

[north turret]

Is there a way to bring back the guns into trading?

[bleak egret]

#╭📖faq

[civic wharf]

Since around start of this week (dunno which update that is) my game hangs up on startup (blackscreen, have to terminate through task manager) and around 20% of the time on a new map load it just crashes (but autosaves). Ideas?

[radiant summit]

stuck on this screen for some reason

Updated the whole thing

[willow hawk]

just be patient... ?

or restart your computer

[radiant summit]

that might be it, sec

[radiant summit]

Its weird tho, I have the game on my SSD and it usually would take 30 seconds more or less

Now its going past 2+ minutes and it won't budge

[radiant pollen]

But it gets there eventually?

[radiant summit]

No, its not moving or responding at all now

This happened after updating the whole thing

like an hour ago

[shut kiln]

hello everyone i just completed a wolf quest to kill mutants i as a reward i received some stash coordinates that i can't see on the map but a message popped up saying to obtain a rf receiver as soon as possible i already have one the only problem is that i don't know wich frequency i have to tune it into is anyone able to help?

[radiant pollen]

you'll get another message at a later time for the RF stashes, they're a bit different from normal stashes

The wolf one should be somewhere on the map, but it could be anywhere

[vale timber]

Hey I've a question, is it safe to remove some of the gameplay mods ?

Not the ones that add new items

[radiant pollen]

I find it can help to zoom all the way out on the map then toggle stashes on and off, makes them stand out a bit more

[bleak egret]

mostly, no. which ones you want rid of?

[spark python]

I am having an issue equipping an artefact, for the modded ones, I cannot seem to place it in the artefact holder.

[shut kiln]

i found the stash... i just had to squint my eyes lol thank you

[radiant pollen]

No worries, for the RF ones you'll get a message like this

[shut kiln]

ok thanks

[bleak egret]

modded one?

[spark python]

i'm assuming its a custom artefact

[bleak egret]

what is it?

[spark python]

Miser's Skull

it's the one that "gives you extra money in a fashionable way upon headshot"

[bleak egret]

should just drop it on your belt

it emits no radation, so no aam or lead box needed

[spark python]

i've never equipped an artifact, is there a literal belt item i need ?

[bleak egret]

technically no, you can equip any artefact right to the belt. that being said, many good artefacts emit rads, and without using the proper container youll die VERY fast

[bleak egret]

#╭📖faq message

[vale timber]

So there's a mod about crafting idk how it's called but feels too much for me

Like many things have to be crafted now

[bleak egret]

well, thats the point of the entire modpack, really

but it can be disabled

[spark python]

@vale timber it's not as bad. I was pretty overwhelmed at first but honestly you can just play until mid game with an SKS with the PU scope

[bleak egret]

#╭📖faq

[vale timber]

Oh

[north turret]

I usually put my cursor on the stalker anomaly image to pretend its loading faster lol

[vale timber]

I'm just a bit scared of the learning curve of the game

Since it seems a bit grindy

[bleak egret]

if it wasnt youd beat it in a day

like i did with anomaly

[spark python]

like you don't even have to worry about it honestly, like until you get to the advanced tools to repair like the modern rifles

you can buy the historic repair kits from the mechanics immediately though

[vale timber]

Bruh I'm playing anomaly for 2 months already ...

[bleak egret]

the hell? how

[ornate skiff]

does anybody have the normal gamma reshade preset

[spark python]

only issue, is that i literally don't have an option to equip the artefact, like I right click and there is no prompt

[bleak egret]

drag it to your belt

[north turret]

there was an option to reset settings

[bleak egret]

ands thats assuming your armor even has a belt slot, some dont

[spark python]

it has locks on it, i'm assuming thats the belt

yeah i think so

i assume that is the problem

[radiant summit]

Fixed it but now I got another issue

[vale timber]

Oh, i hope the game will get easier cuz it's literally overwhelming with the amount of features it has

[radiant summit]

Crashes as soon as I change resolution

[bleak egret]

you can see if your armor has upgradeable slots, or you can get a new armor that has slots

[north turret]

well you're in quite hte pickle since im no expert

for me it randomly pops up in resolution 800x600 and i have to cahnge it

change it*

[spark python]

like if it's getting too difficult with bullet sponge enemies you can turn your bullet hit factor up in the settings, its a multiplier to make the player do more damage with guns

[radiant summit]

I do that and that's what crashes it lmao

[north turret]

bruh moment

[spark python]

i had some issue like that, the game kept launching in such a small resolution, i just alt + Entered and then did it again and it worked

[bleak egret]

or use better bullets....

[spark python]

this too

[vale timber]

Sorry wrong ping

[spark python]

you can really just play however you want its a singleplayer game haha

[north turret]

does anybody care to explain how to open up stalker GAMMA without the installer shortcut

[vale timber]

Anyway, i just wanted to try this mod since it has tons of effort into it

[bleak egret]

lol top right man

big RUN button

[spark python]

click the shortcut button under run

[north turret]

yeah but uh, its normal anomaly for some reason

OH

shortcut button ok

[spark python]

but you have to select gamma

[bleak egret]

anomaly launcher has a drop down

[spark python]

yeah^

[bleak egret]

change to the correct 1

[sudden egret]

you'll get the hang of it

[spark python]

you should have more than 0 plugins enabled

[dire garnet]

You must have done something wrong, should be Gamma icon

[north turret]

can you give me a photo pls

[dire garnet]

Also, your profile is Default, not Gamma

[north turret]

it only shows me toolbar, dekstop and shortcut

[dire garnet]

Meaning that the installation is indeed messed up

[north turret]

well i checked the folder

it has all the mods

[north turret]

thanks mate

[dire garnet]

Is it in your Anomaly Folder for some reason ?

[bleak egret]

and thats assuming u use dx11

[north turret]

here are the 2 folders

[spark python]

balls

[north turret]

balls

[spark python]

where is the gamma folder

it should be seperate

[north turret]

that is the gamma folder

the balls one

[spark python]

inside there should be mod manager 2

if you open that up, it should bring up the gamma logo and then mod manager should load

[spark python]

from there you can just click the shortcut button to create a desktop shortcut for easy access

[dire garnet]

Should be something like that

[north turret]

yeah i get it

well uh, I think i know what might be the problem

I have the mods installed

this is the gamma folder

btw

[dire garnet]

The Anomaly folder should be unconnected with mods

[north turret]

something made it like that

[spark python]

what did you do lol

[bleak egret]

yep, thats fucked

[north turret]

there are no mods in anomaly, I checked trust me

[north turret]

I left it over 3 hours to download while i was outside lol

it has the mods downloaded but uh

shits fucked up

I will extract some stuff out of 7zip

[spark python]

did you mess up the download dlocation

[north turret]

maybe it will work then

[north turret]

no

It was all according to plan, but left the laptop alone for 3 hours

while downloading

and when I come back

[spark python]

i mean it doesn't magically just do that

[north turret]

4 folders in gamma!!!

[dire garnet]

Okay, here is the thing, take your download folder away, delete the whole thing, your anomaly folder as well, redo all installation step, then put your download folder back in there before doing so

[north turret]

alright

[dire garnet]

If you keep the download folder, the installation will be fast

[north turret]

so only download folder right?

[ornate skiff]

yeah but it doesnt reset the reshade options

[dire garnet]

Yup, is it empty ?

[north turret]

no

it has all the mods

[dire garnet]

How much weight ?

[north turret]

is this ok

or did I fuck that up too

[dire garnet]

How many elements in it ?

[north turret]

hold on lemme count using wordpad

[dire garnet]

Nah, it's counted at the bottom

[north turret]

oh

193 items selcted

[dire garnet]

Bottom left

[north turret]

selected

193 items*

[dire garnet]

Okay, I have 263

[north turret]

shit

[dire garnet]

But again, that may not be representative

[north turret]

I will just reinstall everything like you said

[dire garnet]

Since I had this download folder for quite a while

Since the beginning of RC3 Gamma

[north turret]

and put the download folder

away

[north turret]

oh

well hopefully everything is ok and I dont have to redo the gamma installation

[dire garnet]

Yup, you do that, also, make sure you delete Anomaly's folder, get a clean one for the first step

Except download, delete the whole GAMMA folder as well

[north turret]

I will extract stuff from 7zip again

since I didnt deelete it

[dire garnet]

Get the 3.5 installer, the most recent one, then follow the instructions

I use winrar honestly

[north turret]

by the way

I used 3.5 installer when doing the gamma download while I was outside my house

dunno what caused the problem

[dire garnet]

I think, the folders may have been setup wrongly

[north turret]

maybe

[dire garnet]

The Anomaly folder

And the Gamma folder

If it's not like this (aside of the name of the folders, that is up to you), something went wrong

But the #old-how-to channel will do just fine

[north turret]

got it

[bold stump]

Eidolon tasked me to find a document in Jupiter for him, but the minimap shows that it's right where there's an APC and there's nothing on or under it. Is the document actually in Jupiter underground?

[radiant summit]

I don't know if this is a question, but I found out that both ANUS and classic textures, if any of them are enabled, makes the game not launch at all

It doesn't give errors or anything, it just gets stucked at the splash screen and never budges

[bleak egret]

somtimes APC's have lil side compartments

[bold stump]

Thanks, I’ll check

If that doesn’t work I’ll go in debug mode and use grab nearest item

If that doesn’t work then it means it’s underground

[static osprey]

is there way to disable artefact condition?

[bold stump]

Go to mod configuration menu ( in game ) and go to the artefact condition tab

[sharp aurora]

Is it still possible to disable the miracle machine in X16 ?? also is it normal that the armored door which has controller behind it is locked? i went through the door with camera and i can see the documents i have to get

[radiant summit]

Is there a way to lower a bit the brightness of the adaptive tonemapper in reshade?

Whenever I look at a menu my eyes melt

[sudden egret]

did you flip all three switches on the way up

[sharp aurora]

nope ill have to try that

[static osprey]

I found that but I cant sell jellyfish because of low condition even when its turned of

[sharp aurora]

@sudden egret oh yep thats it i thought they dont work because it didnt show any interaction

[sudden egret]

like all anomaly quests it's a bit janky

[bold stump]

Because you already had it spawned

Or maybe you need a brand new save idk

[abstract trout]

Skies look really ugly only during nights. I had this issue in vanilla anomaly; I still have it. Any clues how to fix bad sky textures during nights?

[sick latch]

I got the quest to speak to Kovalev from the guy in Cordon, but I ended up speaking to Markov first in Yantar, who gave me a bunch of quests. Now after speaking to Kovalev in the church, he acts like I've already accepted his quest, and nothing new popped up in the PDA.

Bugged?

[sudden egret]

did you finish markov's quest

quests*

[sick latch]

no

[sudden egret]

I think that's why

[sick latch]

ok, I'll reload to before speaking with him, then do Markov's quests first

[sudden egret]

after you do markov's quests, he'll send you to another ecologist

I don't think you can pick what order to do the artifact quests in other than the first one you pick

[muted spindle]

Sometimes, I have serious lags when trading with Sidorovich, but only him, its is normal?

[dire garnet]

Have you updated recently ?

I think I saw an update today about that

#📢development message

[muted spindle]

yeah I hit this button every day

[dire garnet]

Hmm

Have you tried another trader ?

[muted spindle]

yes, only Sidorovich and only sometimes, its not real problem, just asking, if it is normal

[dire garnet]

I don't think it is actually

You could try to use the link I gave you, finding what has been changed, and do the opposite to restore it to before the update

And see if it actually helps

The update being recent, it might cause an unintended issue

[bold stump]

@bleak egret you were right the left side has a hole and there is a stash. Thanks

[wise sparrow]

sid is a map object and not an npc so if you sell him a bunch of stuff he just seems to keep it forever which can cause his trade window to lag

[civic wharf]

the bigger my stash is the bigger the lag I get when it loads, same for traders, lvl1 traders load slightly faster than lvl5

[brisk zinc]

That's what I said as well in #old-feedback-suggestions

But Grok ghosted me

[dire garnet]

Ping him to death

[brisk zinc]

I should since Puckins made the problem more clear

[dire garnet]

Dew it

[brisk zinc]

@willow hawk I can confirm this is a recurrent problem since I spend my early days in Cordon, I've tried to let you know in #old-feedback-suggestions but you ghosted me
You can't even refresh his inventory since it's a "map object"

[dire garnet]

Another point made for the superior Clear Sky's trader, nah, just kidding

[brisk zinc]

I still believe starting in CS base is the best in GAMMA

I wonder if you can start as a Loner there (I don't remember but hey that's a question for #🔨base-gamma-support, I'm still in topic!)

[dire garnet]

You can

And it is I think

And such a cool faction

[brisk zinc]

Superior Clear Sky starter GAMMA strikes again

[sick latch]

How, I only have 3 spawns as loners: Cordon, Rostok, and Agroprom.

[dire garnet]

Oh, weird

[brisk zinc]

I knew it... too much superior...

It's literally the best place to start thanks to Cold and his armor

[dire garnet]

Or maybe it's caused by my own addon

I forgot I've put one spawn for them here x) Guess I'll keep using my own work x)

[wise sparrow]

Sid as a map object is a weird base game issue that probably pre dates CoC. It’s best left alone imo.

[brisk zinc]

Guess I'll just start as a Loner and teleport me to CS then

I love Sid but that shit is annoying af for me that I spend literally ages in Cordon

[dire garnet]

Or you could use extra spawns locations, I'm totally not advertising here

[brisk zinc]

Guess I'll see myself in #🖇old-mods-posting

[wise sparrow]

I tend to just got to rostok as a loner anyway or I’ll setup at the farm and deal with lorris.

[dire garnet]

#🖇old-mods-posting message Here you go

Also forget about that terrible old version of LTTZ questlines x)

[brisk zinc]

I would do that as well, problem is, Loris is just a trader, he doesn't give you quests

If he were more like Sid it would have been totally different

[dire garnet]

(A question so it stays in topic, who thought it was a good idea to make Sidorovich a fricking flying object ? xD)

[willow hawk]

this is a vanilla issue

[dire garnet]

@brisk zinc Actually thanks for reminding me, I updated the post

[willow hawk]

Im' actually not sure if that's fixable

[fiery jasper]

Was it like that in shadow of Chernobyl too or solely an anomaly issue

[dense ridge]

What is with mouse sensitivity reseting to .7?

[dire garnet]

Well, it would require making him having kind of a NPC profile like other traders instead of an object, but that would be a lot of coding maybe ? Because I think he is litteraly fused with his chair, hence why

[willow hawk]

Sid buys everything for really cheap anyways

Don't sell him anything

But sleeping should clean his inventory

[tough socket]

someone was talking about master mode but I don't remember the command for it anymore does anyone know?

wait nvm I can just use the search

[radiant pollen]

the heck is this?

[tough socket]

it's an unknown enemy

[radiant pollen]

I thank you for your wisdom, kind sage

[sick latch]

quest target that's moved away from it's spawn

[radiant pollen]

huh, can't believe this is the first time I've seen it

[ornate maple]

Is there a way to trigger manually by debug or otherwise the zombie or monolith invasions of the Barrier, the specific ones where Lukash puts out the radio message?

[brisk zinc]

I'll make some tries when I get the chance then

[jagged lance]

If you find an advanced gun with a 60%+ barrel you find fix it without tools as long as you find the advanced cleaning kits and the other parts needed for the gun is what i meant

[wise sparrow]

you can start the task manually with debug mode. I know there is a vanilla bug with emissions if the task fails and isn't completed successfully so you can probably find the task names by searching for that.

[ornate maple]

any idea which files i should be looking through, or what folders?

[tall charm]

lads your thoughts, How we approachin this?

seems the burner anomaly here is moreso an "aura" than the jetstream

making approachin and weavin thru a bit more tricky

nvm i just brute forced it with a stimpack and ran

[night swift]

Guys

How do I disable health drain from sprinting with damaged legs

Nvm

[tidal raft]

#│📚manual

and #╭📖faq

[mystic mauve]

Is an animation suppose to play when you skin an animal? I see it in GAMMA videos but no animation plays when I do it.

[wise sparrow]

you could probably get a better answer for this in the anomaly discord but you would need to unpack the anomaly files that contain the xml files with the tasks in them and then you can get the task names that way.

[warped ginkgo]

fdda has it, it's disabled by default in GAMMA due that it can cause soft locks

you can enable it in MCM options but don't try to ask for help if it starts to bug xd

[mystic mauve]

Okay, thank you, I apricate the warning!

[drifting hearth]

Does upgrading weapon reliability make it so it takes more wear to induce jams or make it so wear rate is slower?

[dense ridge]

is this box at the top of the stairwell near the campfire in rookie village mine to use? Or will other stalkers take from it

[drifting hearth]

The green one?

[sleek rune]

ya can use any box

[drifting hearth]

^They don't take from boxes

[dense ridge]

gotcha thanks!

[tidal raft]

Slower overall condition degradation rate.

E.g. makes weapons last longer per shot before needing to be cleaned.

[drifting hearth]

Thanks

[brittle venture]

One of my arms is refusing to heal up, I'm not sure what happened to it

[sudden egret]

are bodies supposed to disappear after a psy storm?

[brazen vessel]

Anyone know what handling actually does

[stoic moth]

Lowers the amount of time it takes for the reticle bloom to go back to neutral

[dense ridge]

What does the heart flashing red mean?

bleed?

[acoustic timber]

Will a new GAMMA build require a new game and completely new installation?

I'm hyped for the new addons

[brisk zinc]

Yes, IIRC radiations as well

For bleed you just need to check your screen left and right, pulsating red = bleeding

[lament spruce]

cant find my screenshots, it says i can find it in anomaly folder/bin but its not there.

[wise sparrow]

they're in the MO2 overwrite folder

[lament spruce]

thanks man

[tidal raft]

If it's radiation the nuclear symbol on rad resistance will glow red.

[dense ridge]

THanks all much appreciated

[mint stream]

So I feel like an idiot but i've been down in x-8 for a good minute and I can't find the hard evidence of a conspiracy, is it because i'm just looking over it or would it be because I also started the living legend quest to go down there as well and it bugged out?

[tidal raft]

If you went there during living legend you may have already picked them up.

[mint stream]

I still have the task to get the hard evidence, i have x 8 documents for living legend in my inventory but that didnt update the task for the other quest

[tidal raft]

Look again then. They might appear in unusual locations.

[jagged lance]

Is x8 the outskirts one?

[mint stream]

yeah

[mint stream]

i'll give it another run through the lab but i havent found it yet and i've been to every room in the lab

[jagged lance]

Think those ones were on a bench in the flooded bit

Think its flooded the room with the lowered centre

[mint stream]

is the bench in the water or above it

[jagged lance]

In the water iirc

Been a while so might be wrong

If you hold down f while you walk around they should be easier to find

[mint stream]

thats what im doing rn in the room

[jagged lance]

Might be floating in the water idk lol but i remember one set of docs being in that room

[mint stream]

it was in a room i had already cleared but just didnt see the doc on the table

[wise sparrow]

if burers or a poltergeist spawned in the lab they can throw the documents into the ceiling

[mint stream]

there was a burer, but it was in the room on a table right next to where i killed the burer before

just never saw the doc

[wise sparrow]

[sudden egret]

is there a mod that removes or replaces cats and dogs

makes me sad to shoot em

sounds dumb I know

[knotty patrol]

This ain't Minecraft, son.

[jagged lance]

Youre doing them a service

[bleak egret]

this man worried about cats and dogs, but snorks and karliks and burer and controllers can just go to hell i guess

[sudden egret]

that's correct

[bleak egret]

i feel so much worse after killin a karlik and i loot him. he just has a porn mag and weed lmao

[mint stream]

wait you're okay with shooting midgets but not dogs that have no eyes

[bleak egret]

like, i killed a neckbeard

[jagged lance]

Humans are cringe

Animals are pog

[sudden egret]

I mean, I don't care that much I'm going to keep playing the game either way

[bleak egret]

what about psydogs

[sudden egret]

But yeah IDC about psycho midget freaks

I would like to pet the psydog

I bet I could be friends with it

[bleak egret]

psydogs are land piranhas

they have

[mint stream]

people have tamed them

[bleak egret]

massive

jaws

[desert robin]

Where is the 3.5 installer? is it now packed with the gamma download?

nvm found it in pins....

Is the most up-to-date installer re-packed together with the RC3 every time the installer is updated? if not, wouldn't people be downloading outdated installer?

[glacial prawn]

So I enabled magazines, fiddled about with them for an hour or so, disabled them, and now my game crashes on character load. Wipe all the saves?

[fringe roost]

How do i fix a black screen? I see my ui and inventory but nothing else. I ran the command in the console that's posted in troubleshooting but nothing changes

[glacial prawn]

Are you spawning at night? I've had to double take before because I had nighttime brightness set to very dark

[fringe roost]

I can't see my headlamp light or pda when i turn them on. so i don't think it's night time causing it

[tepid turtle]

You have probably used the "Restore default user itx" from the loader screen, simple way do restore it is doing a complete install from the gamma instaler. I will restore the correct use itx.

If you already donload the addon the complete install will be breese

[bold rain]

Stupid question that's probably answered somewhere but I just updated the installer and ran an update after a long while, what's the number of active mods you should have?

nevermind

it's 296

[desert robin]

Can anyone else hear a 'ringtone' when npc's reload? Theres a certain reload sound that sounds like a common sms ringtone sound, i dont think its intentional but it's at the end of a sound file and sounds so jarring.

Fanatic has an mp5 of some sort that seems to do that sound.

[fringe roost]

Ended up deleting the shader cache file and it fixed it

[wheat zephyr]

Aye quick question idk if this been answered already but can i turn off the mod "Limit Fast travel" in Mod organizer or will it mess up the game from touching the 200+ mods??

[fringe roost]

Is there a fix/workaround to the campfire save crashing that doesn't make me reinstall everything? My game crashed while playing and now my saves just crash me when i load them

And now the game is just black screening when it launches after turning off the campfire saves in the mod config menu

[harsh schooner]

Is rx 6600 enough to play gamma in 1440p on dx11 highest settings with reshade (ssr, enhanced ssao and such)

[vapid harbor]

No, nothing is

You'll have to turn down some stuff (particularly grass) to get good performance

[harsh schooner]

If i keep grass on default is it gonna be around 60fps on average?

With everything else maxed out

[vapid harbor]

Yes with default you should have a stable 60, it is by far the most taxing setting

It's just an engine optimisation issue

[harsh schooner]

Thanks 🥰

[vapid harbor]

[fringe roost]

Do i have to reinstall gamma if I disable the campfire saves? Game is just lunching as a black screen now after turning it off due to saves crashing

I did the fix for the campfire saves crashing and now it's just causing more problems

Fixed the black screen on launch but saves still crash

So the game just crashes whenever i load a save or start a new game after turning off campfire saves. I'm guessing i'll have to reinstall since the fix isn't working and no one else has one right now

[plush wharf]

There's another mod you need to disable

sec

[fringe roost]

I did both and still get crashes and/or black screen on launch

I found a fix for the black screen but not the crashes

[plush wharf]

got a crash log?

[fringe roost]

I don't think so. I also just decided to re install the mods and just turn off campfire saves before starting a playthrough if that works. I like the idea of the mod but if it's going to brick my game/saves why have it?

[plush wharf]

pretty sure you can just use MCM to disable campfire saves

in the future,

[lethal hinge]

is it supposed to be such a collossal pita to get a max efficiency volat / compass? i must have burnt 500k on fusing thus far

[vague moon]

Stamina consumption from sprinting is suuuper low with low carry weight. I believe this is intentional, however can it be adjusted?

[plush wharf]

Yup, end game artefacts require work

[fringe roost]

I'll try that on my new playthrough. On my old one that was what i did before turning the mod off in MO2 because it was still crashing the saves

[lethal hinge]

they burn efficiency so fast though... dang I'll be finished with the playthrough by the time I have them

[plush wharf]

What do you mean by burn efficiency?

[lethal hinge]

the efficiency goes down on artifacts when you have them equipped right?

like fuel or battery

[plush wharf]

Only junk perk-based artefacts go down

[lethal hinge]

huh, dope okay I guess I can actually equip what I have so far then

[plush wharf]

The rule of thumb is that if it radiates you, it won't reduce over time

[lethal hinge]

is there a way to turn up damage btw? Its taking >3 br4 headshots on average to down anyone in red forest

[plush wharf]

Red forest is mid to late-ish so make sure youre using a fully repaired gun and make sure youre using AP ammo against armored targets

[lethal hinge]

i havent found any expert toolkits yet after 150 stashes and well over 100 hours so I dont have access to br5/6 weapons yet. using ap on sks / ap shotgun rounds

[plush wharf]

Make sure youre checking northern stashes, you won't be getting those tools in the south

you're not fighting sin members are you

?

[lethal hinge]

i accidentally triggered the squads in the tunnels in red forest while trying to progress, yeah

[plush wharf]

Fighting sin with an sks, you poor soul

godspeed

[sullen valve]

Is the Raven's Tooltip on the side mod buggy? I would very much like to use it

[lethal hinge]

i mean I did get silly and dilly-bog, it just took ages

huh. ok that explains a lot

thanks @plush wharf

[fringe roost]

Where do i go to find a crash log? Game is crashing again after a reinstall and turning off campfire saves in MCM

[plush wharf]

uh, scroll up a few messages

[willow hawk]

No new game, but new install yes

[willow hawk]

I disabled the quest for that kind of reasons

[willow hawk]

You can disable them in ZCP MCM option

[worn elbow]

hey grok, code question, when an ammo has a K_hit of like = 0.65 ; 0.9, what does the second number mean?

[fringe roost]

How many because i'm not seeing anything on where to find it

[plush wharf]

[willow hawk]

Yes but disable the gamma fast Travel balance as well

[fringe roost]

I was talking about where to find crash log not the MCM

[plush wharf]

[fringe roost]

Because the game is again crashing with it turned off

when the fix is suppose to not have that happen

[willow hawk]

Weird particles when shooting sin members mean something

[willow hawk]

Commented original value

[willow hawk]

#old-bugs channel description

[worn elbow]

ahk sweet

i nerfed hydroshocks down to 1.3 in my game cos the ump is too silly

[fringe roost]

Thank you. I'll go grab my log and see what's causing this problem because every since i crashed while playing the game has just been broke

[worn elbow]

i killed a normal chimera in 10 rounds one time during testing lol

[willow hawk]

Seems fine to me

[worn elbow]

each to their own, i just think hydras shouldn't be killing a chimera in half the shots it takes 5.45HP's to lol

[willow hawk]

Hydrashock lacks versatility

And it's mad expensive to craft

[worn elbow]

in raw material numbers sure, but 90% of stalkers will be carrying pistol ammo of some kind and straight up 30% of the ones north of rostok will just give you small amounts of hydra cos ACP pistols are common at that point

plus the ump isn't a paticularly rare gun, is repaired with a pistol repair kit and has easy to obtain parts

also hydra ammo isn't the most expensive to straight buy

and you simply don't go through it that fast due to how much damage i deals

[mint stream]

coming from a logical pov, I think it makes a lot of sense since .45 is a lot fatter, and that being said, a .45 hollow is gonna open up a lot more than a .22 hollow

not trying to sound like im insulting you***

[worn elbow]

it's bigger and heavier sure, but it has 40% of the energy

[desert robin]

Anyone elses save game pictures not working?

[mint stream]

I havent had a problem with save game pictures but on one or 2 occasions, stalker pictures in the random text on the left would just be solid dark bluish squares with names lol

[worn elbow]

like, this is the deformation on ballistics gel from hydrashocks

this is the deformation of ballistic gel on russian softpoints (HP analogs)

both on 10% 16x6x6 gel blocks

like, it's pretty clear which one should be doing more damage

[willow hawk]

Damage to flesh is mostly about fragmentation not raw speed imo

[worn elbow]

obviously it's a game

balance obviously is a priority over realism here

[willow hawk]

Since damage is mostly about hitting important organs

And yes the system tries to be balanced and "believable"

[worn elbow]

but frankly, i find the ump with hydras to be really imbalanced

[mint stream]

So I'm not disagreeing with you that 5.45 is devastating but in reality, 5.45 is gonna carry through more and yeah it'll open up some organs, but a .45 acp is gonna slow down inside the body and since its a lot bigger it'll have a much larger wound channel, and since it's not gonna have a clean pass through it's not gonna be as easy to treat as a 5.45

[willow hawk]

Not necessarily hyper realistic

[willow hawk]

Well it's the ultimate mutant killer, but it just does that

Also, you won't be able to craft any other pistol rounds

[worn elbow]

that's true, but you're not only carrying one gun around

[willow hawk]

I agree

Now a lot of people aren't using the UMP still

[mint stream]

tbh i never touch the ump

i try to stay away from smgs

[willow hawk]

I can make it rarer that's for sure

[worn elbow]

and sacrificing access to pistol ammo on other guns to have a gun that just deletes everything short of a psuedogiant in half a mag or less is a very worthwhile tradeoff

[plush wharf]

I don't use the UMP purely because I save fortunes by using buckshot all game

[mint stream]

same

[willow hawk]

P90, MP7 and SR2M are beasts

[worn elbow]

in my testing the ump vastly outperformed shotguns

[mint stream]

my current playthrough i've restricted myself to an 870 with buckshots for anything stronger than a boar

[willow hawk]

Yes but it uses MUCH MORE powder

To craft and to sustain in general

You can get some hydrashock here are there that's for sure

I might need to reduce the amount of ACP pistol in NPCs loadouts

[worn elbow]

very true, but shotguns are like, efficient to the point of needlessness in terms of crafting ammo

[willow hawk]

And they are versatile

Also, KS23....

These buckshots are crazy now

[worn elbow]

KS23 isn't worth it vs chimeras i found

[mint stream]

dont even get me started on the cannon

[plush wharf]

Post buff?

[worn elbow]

hmmm when did it get buffed

[willow hawk]

About 48h ago

[worn elbow]

and do i need to do a complete install to get the buff?

[willow hawk]

No

[worn elbow]

cos i updated addons this morning

and did my testing today

and the ks23 typically took its entire mag to kill a normal chimera

[plush wharf]

I should give it some testing tbh

[worn elbow]

and it did it slooowly

[desert robin]

@willow hawk re; the announcement of hitbox tips. Is there some visual of this? What does it look like?

[worn elbow]

weirdly enough a saiga with buckshot sometimes obliterated the fuck out of chimera

[desert robin]

im wondering if theres some 3d model with visual markers of where these magic spots are

[worn elbow]

like 1/3 times it took 4 rounds of buckshot

never happened with slugs

[plush wharf]

a bone hitbox visual would be so cool

[desert robin]

Yeah thats what im sorta after

something that shows the wireframes or 3d or something

[worn elbow]

in anycase, i found nerfing hydras to a 1.3 K_hit made them typically take about 20 rounds to kill a regular chimera

[plush wharf]

reminds me of pings dex from monster hunter

[worn elbow]

so with decent shooting you'd typically kill a chimera in a single UMP mag

[willow hawk]

There's not, shot at people and check the console

[slow fox]

Any plans on nerfing it again?

[willow hawk]

No no, I will just revamp their crafting recipes

And potentially their price

I like them the way they are

I can draw the hit box on a stalker if necessary

@desert robin

The eyes are really small and wouldn't count on them to get proper head shot Bonus

The mouth / neck are fairly large

It's like the whole bottom of the head

Sadly the rest is bone 15

Top, nape, etc

And this doesn't provide the headshot bonus

[desert robin]

How come the top half doesnt do as much?

[willow hawk]

Because it's bone 15

And I didn't include it

[desert robin]

Yeah but i mean why 😛

Just trying to understand, is it a game limitation or a physics thing or etc

[willow hawk]

Because it make the helmet parts easier to penetrate xD

[jagged lance]

top half of skull is conkreet

[willow hawk]

Like the whole head

[jagged lance]

bottom skull squishy

[desert robin]

Ah.. So a guy wearing a balaclava will still have as much res as a guy wearing an apoc?

[willow hawk]

No of course not

NPCs have different helmets protection values depending on their models

It's just that when shooting at a guy with a gas mask + helmet, it's easier to penetrate the gas mask eyes and neck / jaw

Than the rest of the head which is supposedly protected

What I will push is 50% chance to get a smaller pen boost on bone 15 which is the whole head outside of eyes, neck and jaw

[plush wharf]

Do you have some notes on which bone # corresponds to each part?

[willow hawk]

Because the bullets can easily deflect on helmets

Hence, no pen boost

[willow hawk]

Yes

[desert robin]

Ah cool. Thanks for explaining all this.

[mint stream]

So uhh ya boi can't find the document in the npp 🙂

[plush wharf]

If memory serves, it's in the room with all the electronics, on a desk near some computer stuff

[mint stream]

Is it before the wish granter or after you climb the ladder and pass it

[plush wharf]

The room is right next to an area transition, I believe

[mint stream]

Because I saw screenshots of where its supposed to be and my 2 hours of sleep ass can't be bothered to run through all of this for an hour loll

[plush wharf]

Should I check gboobs code for that sounds fun to read through

[willow hawk]

Yes it's there

That script is a gold mine when it comes to damage management to NPCs

Also about how to spawn particles at NPCs Pos etc

[plush wharf]

not even sure how you managed to make sense of stalker spaghetti

[willow hawk]

With that it's pretty much possible to make electro snorks

[jagged lance]

fellas always talmbout GBOOBS what about GTITS

[willow hawk]

Hold my beer

GBREASTS for stalker 2

[willow hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/oooh-aaah-minions-despicable-me-woah-gif-16560518

[plush wharf]

we're building stalker frankenstein, we already have the GBOOBS, ANUS and DICK thanks to the modding community

[mint stream]

i wanna know when the bibliotekars are gonna have their own loot pool and natural spawns in stalker lmao

[willow hawk]

Uh never

[jagged lance]

Grok's Big Redundant Ecologist And Sin Training Shortage

Mod that makes ecologist and sin behave in a non-tactical fashion

because they're scientists and vampires

[willow hawk]

What I would like is Poltergeist to actually drop items

[plush wharf]

could use demonized dltx dynamic mutants as a base, he spawns a corpse from killed polters. Too bad in its current form its imbalanced and not worth it

[mint stream]

i mean that is lore accurate so it would make sense

[plush wharf]

yeah, just getting all those free anomlies from the corpse can get out of hand

especially since one of the dynamic anomlies spawns poltergeists

[mint stream]

darkness

[willow hawk]

True

They could spawn a new mutant part selling for a bit of money though

Can make dark poltergeist not drop anything

[plush wharf]

If they're separate entities that works

It'd be great if they did drop something worth the trouble though

finding wild pseudogeists is a complete waste of ammo

[jagged lance]

poltergeist could explode and leave an artifact behind?

[plush wharf]

That's basically what demonized mod already does

would need to balance the drops a bit

[mint stream]

im guessing normal polter drops like elec artifacts then pyros drop flame based artis?

[plush wharf]

that'd be very cool imo, as long as the probability for the lower tier ones is very high

and we can't randomly get end game artis

[jagged lance]

element based artifact drops sounds fine

[mint stream]

then the dark polters could drop the rarer artifacts, not necessarily end game but rarer and a little more valuable, from all elemental pools

[plush wharf]

(chance of a bat from pseudogeists 👀 )

[mint stream]

actually since we're on the topic of artifacts, i have a question about the melter and the durability of artifacts in general, how does it work, like when i get an artifact in a container as a reward, why is its efficiency at like 28%

[jagged lance]

because you have to fuse them with identical artifacts to repair them

[mint stream]

and you do that with the melter?

[jagged lance]
