[unborn basin]

so how to reset it back to defaults fully?

[ripe lagoon]

mcm settings are stored in axr_options.ltx

[unborn basin]

so i just need to replace it with the default one?

[ripe lagoon]

that works, but resets settings for all addons

[unborn basin]

its okay

[north maple]

does anyone know what this is? or what causes it?

[vast pumice]

thats an mp4 file, its usually created when you record something

no idea why no preview

[north maple]

i mean the problem i'm having, if you watch the mp4 lol

neither do i, it's just a stalker recording from OBS

still no preview :/

idk

[lethal steeple]

ip grabber

[north maple]

How do i post so it has a preview?

[vast pumice]

upload to a social media or youtube

then paste the link

[hollow wadi]

Convert to webm

[versed badge]

not per slot though sadly, would like to have a "signature sidearm" like Stalker 2 Skif has with his PM to be always on my character

[civic sage]

Bye-bye, mercs

Their loot is so ass, btw. Seems like killing anyone but UNISG without quests is just a waste of resources

Like, I got an exosuit, but why would I use it if it's just sliightly better than what I have

[celest sparrow]

Me when I complain about the gear I get when I'm already well equipped

I just do kill whoever to see if they have something new for me to use
Rarely see it as a waste of resources unless you somehow manage to spray away your entire reserves in one encounter

[civic sage]

That's what I currently use

[celest sparrow]

Yeah then why complain

[light ruin]

You kill to make that patch collection bigger

[celest sparrow]

Exactly

[civic sage]

Hmm, actually true

It's tragic that I've been losing companions tho...

I'm down from 6 to 1

-3 at Outskirts, -1 at south cordon, -1 from mercs

[mental furnace]

[civic sage]

Did I hit some skill threshold or something? I've been getting 100% parts lately

[lethal steeple]

parts rng isn't tied to anything but rng

and the gun's condition when the parts generate, which is also rng

[errant seal]

where can i ask or maybe some one in chat know anything about making squad ai immortal something something ?

[finite jolt]

[oblique reef]

You mean making companions immortal? there are mods for that already

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/companions-dont-die

[errant seal]

yea but does it in mod organiser list so i can activate it

[oblique reef]

No, just install this one

[agile epoch]

Does the manner in which the roadblock documents are obtained matter? I seem to remember it saying "try not to kill the soldiers" so I tried being stealthy but that didn't work. So I decided to see what happened if you turned it in with the soldiers dead and Sid didn't even mention it. Just wondering if that is actually the case.

"princess, BITE THAT BANDIT'S BALLS!" 🫰

[graceful fulcrum]

[light ruin]

My BODY is a MACHINE that TURNS clear sky missions about ESCORTING ECOLOGIST into a HELICOPTER PATROL CHASE across the entire GREAT SWAMP

[late drift]

ISTG WHY IS HIP FUCKIN INDESTRUCTIBLE? I SHOT LIKE 7 SHOTGUN SHELLS INTO HER FACE, AND THEN I HAD TO STAB HER 4 MORE TIMES FOR HER TO SIMPLY WANT TO TAKE A NAP. I BLED OUT BEFORE SHE EVEN FELL ONTO THE GROUND

[burnt moon]

Reinstalled G.A.M.M.A with my original load order and I gained a mystery 60 FPS, even with all my graphics mods. I'm not even going to question it.

[civic sage]

Damn, I'm pissed that electron doesn't allow recharging exo batteries

[burnt moon]

That would make a lot of sense if it did.

[oblique reef]

She's built dif

[late drift]

i knew playing as a bandit on warfare in the cordon wont be easy, but ive unloaded more shells into her than every other person there combined... AND SHE FUCKING WALKS IT OFF

[burnt moon]

[burnt moon]

Interesting.

[graceful fulcrum]

well, important npcs are more tanky so they won't die to some random black chimera walking down the street

[burnt moon]

Tell that to Strelok when he got shot in the face by a Monolith and died instantly.

[graceful fulcrum]

bro lost the plot armor

[burnt moon]

If you want to be technical, the only armor present definitely wasn't his.

[late drift]

ive been drinking a few shots of vodka for every death i have in the rookie village as a bandit. conclusion: hip is annoying

[sick yoke]

hip is an important npc and thus takes less damage

[daring crown]

riiiiiight, you totally didn't just shoot him in the back of the head

[sick yoke]

"important"

[burnt moon]

Yeah, you right.

[daring crown]

i was joking, did you actually dome him?

[burnt moon]

Yeah, on accident. I 360 no scoped to kill something else and popped him straight in the dome.

[late drift]

i know but i think maybe anomaly should chill a bit on the "importance"... a few shotgun shots to the face should be more than enough to at least stop her from railing me with her pistol

[daring crown]

she has an exo equiped

so that she doesn't die easily

if you want her as a companion

or to actually complete the quest

[late drift]

yeah i know ive played as a loner before

i just never truely realised how tanky she is

[daring crown]

she doesn't die

[late drift]

the best strat to kill her so far was rushing her with a shotgun and when you eventually run out of ammo (and you defo will) run around her in circles stabbing her continuosly. however by the time she is knocked down (usually still alive but out of combat) you will bleed out from all the gunshots she gave you whilst you where stabbing her

[daring crown]

idk if she's worse in GAMMA

but in anomaly she doesn't die easily either

[late drift]

im not sure in regular anomaly ive only ever had her as a companion

[daring crown]

just use explosives

[late drift]

now since im playing as bandit im realising that shes a bit op

[daring crown]

they are by far the most effective way to delete npcs

[late drift]

im playing on warfare mode and started in car park

i have no grenades

[daring crown]

in gamma?

[late drift]

yep

i only have a shotgun and mosin

[daring crown]

!warfare you know about this?

without printing a wall of text

[late drift]

and ive been shooting her in the face with both for the pas hour

[late drift]

what do you mean

[daring crown]

#🤖bot-commands message

same thing as that

would happen if i ran the command here

[late drift]

to be honest tho its not all bad. every time i die i clean my room a bit and take a few shots of vodka. for my 17th birthday which is in a week im planning to invite my gf to my house so at least hip is making me get a few chores i need to do done

[daring crown]

might want to watch your drinking

drink responsibly

[late drift]

eh its fine

[daring crown]

or maybe you're good at the game unlike me

[late drift]

i still have around half a bottle of vodka to drink

[daring crown]

that hadn't crossed my mind yet

[late drift]

apparently im too bad 💀

[daring crown]

[late drift]

i still have quite a lot of vodka to drink

[muted spruce]

Can you buy advanced tools off of anyone for vodka?

[late drift]

around half a 700ml bottle left and im pretty much sober rn

[daring crown]

consider saving it for tomorrow

[daring crown]

no

can't

you can get 4/5 basic and craft

[muted spruce]

You can buy tools off of someone for vodka

[late drift]

irl in a eastern european country you can

[muted spruce]

I remember this

[daring crown]

basic

not advanced

[muted spruce]

How much is 1?

[daring crown]

basic?

20 red vodka

[late drift]

wtf

[daring crown]

pain in the ass

[muted spruce]

That is a trafe for sute

Massive waste

[late drift]

what kind of basic tool costs 20 bottles of vodka 💀

[daring crown]

just get a yellow stash in aw or truck cemetery

[daring crown]

they're supposed to be rare

[late drift]

advanced tools arent too hard to find

[daring crown]

exactly

[late drift]

just look in yellow stashes for long enough and you should find some

[daring crown]

always easier to just get advanced from stashes

[late drift]

the tools above advanced are the ones that are truely hard to find

[daring crown]

got one in the 1st stash in zaton

immediately restarted

no suffering

no playing

[late drift]

well i died to hip again

[daring crown]

[muted spruce]

Ypu get a near 100% chance in Radar iirc

[daring crown]

!tools

[dawn marten]

To get a yellow stash, finish 7 tasks, then keep doing things that will get you stash coordinates (e.g. more tasks, opening PDAs, looting bodies). You get a 50% chance of receiving a yellow stash each time. This resets upon finding a yellow stash - then you need to do 7 more tasks, and look for more stash coordinates afterwards. _ _||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​|| _ _ _ _ _ https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1098945649929617478/1313545970549526649/image.png?ex=67508683&is=674f3503&hm=acbe9b90a681d4c21c9e8f847bd919eb0dd8bd9b7e44b1af7a1d35527456e780&

[late drift]

time to clean more of my room and drink yet more vodka

[muted spruce]

91%

[daring crown]

at least you're doing something useful

[muted spruce]

Expert is such bullshit to find

[daring crown]

again

[muted spruce]

We love rng

[late drift]

that is truew

[daring crown]

I've started a duty run

then a modding bug bit me

now idk when I'll finish that run

more like if

[oblique reef]

I'll start a playthrough in like 3 months

Cuz I'm redoing text descriptions and micromanaging shit

[daring crown]

i start one every other day

[late drift]

guys how many shots do i take give me a number from 1 - 5

[daring crown]

it just gets boring past bs very quickly

[oblique reef]

0

[late drift]

what a party pooper

[daring crown]

i love the early game struggle

[oblique reef]

Past BS is half the game so I at least try to finish Lotz

[daring crown]

it's mostly running around

[late drift]

it is fun tbh to know every single kill will contribute to eventually having good gear

[daring crown]

once you start dunking on isg

it's over

[late drift]

ive struggled to enjoy so many games simply because they where too easy

[daring crown]

[daring crown]

[late drift]

well its time to try to kill hip again. wish me luck guys

I DIED TO HIP AGAIN

[little summit]

Why

[late drift]

I GENUINLY CANNOT BELIEVE THIS EVERYTHING WAS GOING SO WELL I WAS OUTSMARTING MY ENEMIES AND KILLING EACH ONE OF THEM SO WELL MY AIM WAS ON POINT WITH EVRY SINGLE ENEMY DYING TO A SINGLE SHOT OR STAB AND SHE COMES ALONG AND SHOOTS ME IN THE FACE WITH A PISTOL

[daring crown]

stop drinking for the day

it's not good for you

[late drift]

what do you mean why? like why am i killing her? its because im playing as a bandit and i need to take over rookie village. why i need luck? BC SHES INDESTRUCTIBLE

[muted spruce]

Anomaly is a fancy walking sim

[little summit]

"you can't hurt me, jack"

[late drift]

i drink pretty rarely but when i do i drink a lot. im pretty much sober and im trying to enjoy myself because i have been through tough times recently, i will be fine as the amount of alcohol i have isnt even enough to make me sick, this is mostly just a challenge to try to make myself good at the game (as well as finally get those stupid chores done)

speaking of chores time to clean my room a bit more

thanks, hip

well time to take another crack on it lets hope she dies this time

I KILLED HER FINALLY

[daring crown]

as long as it's under control, enjoy the game

[late drift]

nevermind i get a shotgun to the face apparently... still at least i saved after i killed her

[daring crown]

[late drift]

thanks i will

[daring crown]

[daring crown]

we don't talk about that

she's dead, that's all that matters now

[late drift]

its beena while since i played gamma, what mostly motivated me to play was the "talker" mod

but it doesnt work

[late drift]

true 💀

[daring crown]

I'm pretty sure she's the only exo allowed that far south

[late drift]

i didnt even realise she has an exo

[daring crown]

there's a thread for it here

[late drift]

pretty sure ive seen her sprinting before

[daring crown]

if you care to troubleshoot it

[late drift]

yeah i know i was speaking with dan the developer of it and he was a lot of help

however unfortunately it still doesnt work

[daring crown]

it doesn't show up, it's not the model, she has an exo stats wise

like in the game code, she's wearing one

[daring crown]

[late drift]

ill try modify some of the scripts myself again but i dont expect it to work

[late drift]

ohh i see

i mean it explains the fact she is more durable than a monolithian

[daring crown]

oh she's taken So many RPGs in one of my playthroughs

had like 4 of them before BS

6 or 7 more after

[late drift]

the one thing ive loved about stalker is that damage is realistic

[daring crown]

i had a stash full of RPGs, could've deleted the zone

[late drift]

no way...

[daring crown]

the defend the barrier quest from lukash or whatever the freedom guy is called

[late drift]

well somehow i managed to kill her by running franticly around her stabbing her with my tiny pocket knife

[daring crown]

where he sends a msg in the pda saying monolith are approaching the border

that has guaranteed RPG spawns at the end

[late drift]

yeah that is his name but before today ive never played another faction but loners

ive done a few quests for him back in shadow of chernobyl

[daring crown]

he does ask you as long as you pay attention to the pda

[late drift]

i remember that quest in soc

[daring crown]

and you are neutral with freedom

you can get a one or a very spicy one

[late drift]

god im definetly going to struggle playing as bandits with only three friendly factions

including renegades

i do have a question

[daring crown]

Renegades can barley be counted

[late drift]

are renegades better than bandits? ive seen some people say they are better equiped and some say they are the cowardly version of bandits, ive always believed the latter, however what is your guyses opimions?

[daring crown]

well

are we talking lore wise

or gamma gameplay wise

[late drift]

ig both lore wise and gameplay wise

[daring crown]

because they do have better equipment in gamma

[agile epoch]

Anyone used the AN-94 before? Is it worth using or just gimmicky. Pretty much the same as a regular AK?

[late drift]

ak better

[daring crown]

but the lore is they are the worst of the bandits

[late drift]

more ammo i think

[late drift]

yeah they where a replacement for black slugs right?

[daring crown]

an is pretty crazy good with the hyperburst feature

[late drift]

who where meant to be the weaker bandits

[daring crown]

gamma has a different vision for them

[late drift]

i mean tbh they do have lesser numbers i dont remember whether they had better gear than regular bandits or not

[daring crown]

iirc I've seen grok say he wants them to be monolith of the south

[late drift]

in clear sky that is

[agile epoch]

Okay I'll fix it up and give it a shot then.

[late drift]

that seems a bit outlandish

[daring crown]

oe maybe i picked that up from a 3rd party

idk

[late drift]

i mean i dont know i see them as careful bandits that want the loot but dont want to the bullet

[daring crown]

they are rarer to find than your regular bandit

have basically 2 guaranteed spawns rn

[late drift]

but due to thier lesser numbers i do think they could work as a superior bandit

[daring crown]

both in great swamps

[late drift]

but i think sin would be better to fill in the spot rather than renegades as "monolith of the south"

[daring crown]

no no no no

sin are supposed to be hidden

[late drift]

well i mean thats the only place they where found in clear sky

[daring crown]

difficult to see notice and find

they are also past bs

[late drift]

oh ok i see what your saying

[daring crown]

so definitely will see mono before sin

in theory

if there weren't 2 in MM

[late drift]

yeah ok thats a fair point in all honesty tho i dont know what i think of renegades being monolith of the south

[daring crown]

pretty sure anomaly has the same thing going on, really rare to see them in garbage and truck cemetery

[late drift]

yeah fair enough

though

i do think sin should be the most secretive faction

[daring crown]

well...

that's supposed to be the case

[late drift]

like you encounter one sin stalker every 10h or so

[daring crown]

isg are also supposed to be that way

but...

[late drift]

that would be cool making them like a supernatural myster

y

[daring crown]

can't go north to Jupiter without seeing them

[late drift]

ah...

thats um..

kinda ruins immersion

[daring crown]

70% dmg reduction is already pretty "mystery" enough for me

[daring crown]

isg have a chance to spawn in front of Forester's place

immersion ruined

[late drift]

thats kind of sad i cant lie

stalker has been a part of my life since i was four

[daring crown]

damn... been a while huh

[late drift]

one of my earliest memories was watching my dad play call of pripyay

[daring crown]

I've played anomaly because of modding

then tried the 1st one in the trilogy

was too old for me

or rather

i was too old for it

[late drift]

my introduction to playing stalker was a little wierd

i just searched up one day

"where is cheekibreeki from"

i saw the stalker games

i remembered hom much my dad used to play those games and looked on steam

whole trilogy for only 5£

[daring crown]

isn't it from hardbass or something like that? an eastern Europe type of music?

[late drift]

well

[daring crown]

i never looked it up

[late drift]

c

cheeki breeki is likke

i guess a phrase one says when winning in chess

like

"check mate"

[daring crown]

interesting

[late drift]

i am from poland so eastern european culture is familiar to me

[daring crown]

there's definitely a song that has this like

front and center

[late drift]

the song your talking about, is it cheeki breeki by apartje?

[daring crown]

yesssss

[late drift]

love that son

g

[daring crown]

he died i heard

[late drift]

yes heroin overdoes

[daring crown]

i always play cheeki breeki in the pda

when raiding cnpp

[late drift]

genuinly that song is such a vibe

[daring crown]

I'm op enough to where i can just ignore sound

[late drift]

brings so much nostalgia

[daring crown]

🙂‍↕️

[late drift]

funnily enough

one of the first interactions i had with my now girlfriend was because i was overly slav

[daring crown]

not a channel

[late drift]

not a channel?

[daring crown]

nope

[late drift]

please explain im a little confused?

[daring crown]

would you like to join them?

[late drift]

i mean sure

[daring crown]

i think they don't like people to see it

do you see it now?

[late drift]

what it this secretive ah introduction im getting 💀

i saw my channel list change

[daring crown]

well

i wouldn't like to ruin it for them

i respect their little corner

[late drift]

i see what channel your talking about

[daring crown]

read the pins

[late drift]

hold on i really need to piss ill be back in 20s

[daring crown]

all that vodka

[late drift]

well even if its gone now thanfully theres some more to go in 🇸🇱

oops

💀 *

[late drift]

alrigt then give me a sec to do that

i have to say those pins very much confuse me

i must be missing out on some major lore

[daring crown]

i don't understand it

just know that it exists

but that they don't want attention

[late drift]

its peculiar

honestly this is the wierdest thing thats happened to me in ages 😭

well

thank you for the channel

[daring crown]

you're welcome

it's very weird

[late drift]

well wierd is good if the only thing around us all is sorrow

[daring crown]

whenever i decide to look through and translate

i use Google translate so most of it is probably wrong

[late drift]

i could probably translate some of the stuff acurately since ive lived in england sice birth but im also a fluent polish speaker

[daring crown]

that's... bleak

[late drift]

well bleak would describe me very well for the past few years

[daring crown]

the mystery of it is best enjoyed as is

[late drift]

sure full of personality but not quite fufilled

[late drift]

i can see what you are saying and i agree fully

[daring crown]

that's just life, I enjoy stalker and ignore my responsibilities

[late drift]

one does not have to fully explore something to truely enjoy it

[daring crown]

[late drift]

some things are better enjoyed as a mystery

[late drift]

that is exactly how i feel

unfortunately for me

i have to study chemistry physics and computer science as well as feel agony for past mistakes made

if only life was simple

it would be so enjoyable

[daring crown]

learn to move on

[late drift]

well i have moved on from my mistakes

but some may not forgive me for my previous blatant ignorance and immaturity

ive made mistakes i will never forgive myself for

[daring crown]

what i wish if i could relive my life isn't for better stuff, just know how to handle things better

[late drift]

mistakes that seemed like nothing at first but turned out to be painful to look back on

[daring crown]

there's probably a moderator waiting to drop us

[late drift]

i cannot stress how much i agree

[daring crown]

"guess what"

" #╟❓general-offtopic "

[late drift]

[daring crown]

[late drift]

Can someone explain to me why I can't click my settings button? Have I been banned from changing my graphics settings?

[versed badge]

Flatness decreases bullet drop right?

[burnt moon]

At certain ranges, or it's supposed to. I know that's how it worked in the original games.

Don't know about G.A.M.M.A.

[last mesa]

Holy fuckin' shit my guns feel insanely underwhelming

Shooting a lot of mfs with AP SVD and it doesn't do jack shit, needing upwards of 3 shots to take down one monolith or ISG sucker, and I have a bounty hunting party of 8 on my ass

[sinful osprey]

I have not been stalking for like a day and a half

Cheeki breeki withdrawals

But I'm like half a state from my PC

Can't wait to go home and die in a stupid way on my soulslike save and have some gopnik who has survived on nothing but cigarettes and vodka for a month steal my only repaired armor again

[last mesa]

Why the fuck does the game fee like a damn slog now, unlike it was in the previous versions? Are enemies more bullet spongy? Are guns worse? Is my HP lowered? The fuck- oh. Right. I'm playing on Hard. Not medium.

Fuck

[last mesa]

XD

[sinful osprey]

I've only ever played on hardcore/veteran and I noticed this update combat felt just the tiniest bit sloggier from my first run in like late 2023

Small enough difference it could just be my mindset but I did feel a difference

[last mesa]

FINALLY. I KILLED THEM. Now just to get rid of the ISG squad next door and we're gucci...

[last mesa]

It might also be that I have just 2 companions instead of 4, and they're equipped with RPKs instead of AS Vals or PKMs

[sinful osprey]

Possible

But combat difficulty definitely makes a huge difference lol

[last mesa]

Yeah

I usually played on medium scavenger, but now it just feels absurdly diffficult on hard survivalist

Like I know this game is supposed to be difficult.

And somebody made damn sure about that

[mellow rose]

is your game like black and white or what

[last mesa]

NVGs on DX8

Okay. This is just a damn joke. I know I got just 30% BR but 2 tapped from an assault rifle at 50m while I spammed 7N13 (AP) from an SVD into that guys chest is just awful

The enemies need to flinch when shot ffs

That would make the game much more fair

If you get sway every time you get shot so should they

Because otherwise I may have a well covered position with my companions in cover spamming mags upon mags alongside me on open field enemies and I still get killed almost intantly. That sucks

Like I get resistances and all, but when you have such a huge disadvantage that every scrape, bullet graze or shot is making you see double or swing your camera wildly it would make it fair if enemy did too

Instead of shrugging off 7,62x54R AP lodging itself in their chest and them going:

[mellow rose]

thats cool and all, but what does that have to do with nvgs, what goofy stuff does it do to it

since i haven't ever touched dx8 i dont think

maybe i have idk

[thin orchid]

just means you can't use beef's nvg and other shader mods

[mellow rose]

i never really looked

oh damn

[thin orchid]

those are vanilla nvgs i think

[last mesa]

No. They are modded as well, just not beefs

These are FLIRs modified NVGs

How do I kill baba yaga? She seems to be really tanky

whenever I die to her I respawn in another realm aswell (soulslike mode)

[celest sparrow]

If you are doing the Baba Yaga quest, just keep shooting

It's easier if you have a Ball Perkifact to kick the bitch

[versed badge]

should I focus on her or her little karlik children

[celest sparrow]

Karlik are easy to deal with

You can easily outpace her while dealing with the Karlik, best to kill them first as they are quick to drain your Psy HP

You guys remember when in CoP Degtyarov was surrounded on the helipad with Fleshes in all directions rushing him just to get blown up on the minefield?

I just relieved that, but with Whirligigs instead of mines

The red mist was everywhere xD

[blissful ivy]

What the fuck am i doing with these prototype weapon documents

I just have them

[muted spruce]

Does the dude at the boat not want them?

[last mesa]

Bring them to Cardan at Skadovsk

Along with the gauss

[blissful ivy]

Ok? Got it

[blissful ivy]

Doesnt tell me to bring them there

So like, idk

[ebon tide]

I always think I was born in the wrong time... but man technology is cool sometimes lol

[ebon tide]

TWO CHIMERAS INSIDE THE BRAIN SCORCHER, AND A SQUAD OF ECOLOGISTS... what

[warm cypress]

bro im using Redone the only thing I dont like is it seems theres not many crazy mutants events like this anymore...

[ebon tide]

Yeah tbe randomness is what makes the game good

Maybe use dynamic mutants on it if possible

Also a karlik inside with the chimeras

[oblique reef]

Ngl Talker was 10x more exciting than I initially expected, too bad it's got some downsides

I thought it was AI generated voice lines, not PDA messages

[warm verge]

y' mean 7N14???

[ebon tide]

I think the whole grok ballistics thing is completely broken, would love to know a way to turn it off. It was totally fair and fine as it was in the original games and also in base anomaly, didn't need tinkering with it tbh
And that coupled with enemies now moving very fast

And the same stupid rules of grok ballistics overhaul DO NOT APPLY TO YOU, meaning you will get 1 tapped while an enemy wearing the same armor as you takes a full mag to the head from the same gun that 1 taps you 🤣

[little summit]

The funny winchester

[sick yoke]

you can't get 1 tapped

there's health gate

and yeah of course there's different rules for npcs and players

like

do you want to be randomly 1 tapped because a bullet randomly hit your head and therefore gets a 365% damage multiplier?

do you want your armor to only work for like, the first 3 bullets before becoming literally useless?

cause that sounds utterly stupid

[ebon tide]

Idk but it still works like that in gamma lol, no difference

If you get headshotted by a 7.62x51 or 54 etc it happens even with a heavy helm

And the armor goes to shit pretty fast too

[celest sparrow]

It doesn't

[storm saddle]

What in the f

[celest sparrow]

Maybe against the use of AP Ammo, which people have come to highly criticize as it essentially makes the BR Class system rather pointless to focus on but outside of the notable Factions that exclusive use it, it does have a use and will last you for quite a while, at least when it comes to Helmets

[storm saddle]

Armor takes damage proportional to how much damage you actually took. Better armors last longer.

[fair totem]

are mutated crow beaks in the game?

[celest sparrow]

yeah but serve no purpose

[fair totem]

interesting, just asking cause i have interactive pda and got a request for those

[sick yoke]

that's just objectively not true

[fair totem]

never seen them before

[storm saddle]

Interactive PDA can ask for stuff gamma doesn't use depending on the version of it you're using

There's a version made for gamma, though

There's like 3

The normal one, the 3d one, the gamma one (which should be 3d)

[sick yoke]

i mean the "that's how armor works in gamma" thing

it's just not true

[storm saddle]

Oh shit

Mb

[storm saddle]

I thought all armor took 7% of the damage you took to your hp?

[sick yoke]

yeah it does

[sick yoke]

i mean this

[storm saddle]

💀 I thought you were correcting me

[sick yoke]

saying "your armor stops existing after taking 3 bullets" is just flat out wrong

[fair totem]

yeah i dl the 3d for GAMMA one

[ebon tide]

In normal anomaly the durability upgrades made it not do that

[sick yoke]

you just have no idea what you're talking about

[celest sparrow]

clearly

[storm saddle]

????????

Bro HAS to be only in a leather jacket

[hollow wadi]

Do we need Momo to write out fucking armour stat explanation

[radiant star]

yes

[hollow wadi]

(it would only be for player armour too)

[last mesa]

No. 7N13 is the AP variant. 7N14 is the sniper round variant. (Lower dispersion at the cost of lower armor penetration)

[last mesa]

Shoot crows

Preferably with a shotgun

[solar chasm]

huh, 7n14 does have lower dispersion, neat

[last mesa]

Eeeh. It's marginally noticeable

No difference really once you upgrade the gun to max tho

[civic sage]

Is X-8 (BS) mostly empty on second visit? Or do mono respawn there?

[solar chasm]

yeah but that's the kinda thing i hear when talking about gamma that makes me go "but does it tho"

[solar chasm]

nope, just mutants

radar in general the monos return to but not in as great numbers when you clear the base

[warm verge]

X8????

no BS is X10/X19

[last mesa]

X-8 is in Outskirts...

[river parcel]

Enemies will actually flinch pretty often if you hit them in the head, but it's not the most consistent thing in the world. It's particularly noticeable in the early game when you have weak guns, or when fighting sin/isg which have the resistances to survive long enough to flinch

I find it pretty useful with high fire rate weapons, since you can fire a burst at an enemy that's not aimed super well, get one hit on the head that makes them stop moving, then land a few followup shots while they're standing still and not shooting back

that being said, against most factions in the game, and with the more powerful guns, it barely ever happens

I'd be interested in seeing enemies get a similar movement speed penalty after being shot like the player does, to reduce the occasional funny back and forth accidental jiggle peeks they can do, but it's not the end of the world

[haughty aspen]

I swear it was used to be for making the coffee or I'm just remembering it from other modpack?

[celest sparrow]

The recipe was removed

chasing his ass down for a BACKPACK BTW

[river parcel]

his bitch ass can get his dead friend's PDA when he drags his ass back up here

I'm not going down there

[warm verge]

just massacre rostok

[river parcel]

yo what does rostok have to do with this guy lmao

[warm verge]

he's a freedomer

maybe killing every dutyer in rostok can bring him back to AW

[river parcel]

npc travel routes aren't the same as player travel routes, it probably wouldn't do much

I don't remember off the top of my head where all of them in that area are though

[civic sage]

Thanks for clarifying

[solar chasm]

yeah they do that rofl

i had bandits migrate from TC to the little camp south of rookie village

i didn't even know squads could set up there

aside from a single mil dude running over from the checkpoint

[river parcel]

most of the time you'll get tasks from the stationary characters that just sit somewhere on a guard position, but if you get a random one they'll run across half the map

in a lot of cases it won't matter too much, but if any task NPC navigates to like, darkscape or swamps, it's pain

[solar chasm]

typically this only really happens on game start and after emissions

[open parcel]

I reverted repair back to 0.91 by disabling gun has no condition. Now when I replace weapon parts, weapon condition won’t change, meaning if I replace all parts to 100%, gun condition stay the same. Any setting that I might be missing?

[civic sage]

Somehow the more I play Gamma, the more I lose immersion and start seeing it as highly imperfect jumble of a ton of mods together with ehh balancing

[solar chasm]

that... is how things work, yes

you need to repair parts and the gun itself in the old system

[barren forge]

i changed the vid_mode value in the user.itx file but my game still isnt in native resolution

[solar chasm]

TLDR: part % is how pristine/damaged parts are, gun% is how dirty the gun is

[open parcel]

Well in 0.91 replacing good parts improve gun condition

[daring crown]

can't do that, since the functionality of the oils and stuff was removed

[solar chasm]

no, no it does not

[open parcel]

Right but I reverted back to 0.91 repair system

[daring crown]

disabling the mod gives the oils their functions back?

[solar chasm]

possibly, possibly not

[open parcel]

Yes

[daring crown]

well can you clean your gun with the oils?

to bring it's % up?

[solar chasm]

ahk, they did include that change in that mods files

[solar chasm]

oh you mean replacing using repair kits

like the context menu option

[river parcel]

I've always wondered, what kind of decision making is taking place that makes a squad travel between maps? I get the old warfare mode where they just want more positions, but how is that handled outside of warfare?

[solar chasm]

idk

spots open and allows stalkers from X faction to move there

idk how it picks

[river parcel]

huh, so it's the position's occupancy that determines if a squad tries to travel there?

[solar chasm]

i believe so? idk the details on this really

[daring crown]

the vacancy?

[last mesa]

That is 0.9.3.1, not 0.9.1

[open parcel]

If it’s like 10%, there’s nothing you can do

[daring crown]

well... ig nothing you can do lmao

i don't believe that it's that easy to revert the change

[open parcel]

Using workbench

[daring crown]

it's not just untick the mod in mo2

[solar chasm]

oh, then no

[river parcel]

fair enough, it's just one of the mechanics I haven't ever really had any insight into so it's interesting to know more about how it works

[last mesa]

I just got my hands on the SVDS and a 1P59 scope. Man it makes popping headshots much easier

[river parcel]

I like the PSO-1's a little bit better, but the variable zoom on the 1P59 is hard to pass up

[last mesa]

PSO-1 eyecup-less is really good, but it does drop off when in the north or if you really want to pop heads

[river parcel]

it's limited a bit by the more open maps for sure yeah

[last mesa]

Well. Time to finally finish up my base and fix up the SVDS

Also found the ACE suit

Nice bonus

[solar chasm]

i remember this one mil run i did

got a green barrel SVDS 10 minutes after game start

and had it fixed up almost before i had basics

[last mesa]

Dayum! Nice!

I got SVD at the start of the game and was stuck with it and a CH. ammo was a pain, and with no optics it was difficult, but I managed to pull through

[river parcel]

in a run I started yesterday I got a green barrel RPD and the confidential exo repair book from an assassination mission in AW, before I had tools lmao

[solar chasm]

ch?

[river parcel]

the RPD still jams at 15%, but 7.62x39 is good enough that I don't mind it this early

[last mesa]

TOZ 34 Chimera Hunter

[solar chasm]

i had a string of runs where i got ace from AW mercs before i stepped foot north of AW

[last mesa]

Make sure you keep the barrel topped off!

[last mesa]

Nice

[river parcel]

I've still never had an ACE drop, despite all the other rare things I've gotten

sin exo, forest suits, duty command skat, etc.

I almost had a merc nosorog in my last run, but was still one rank below where it was allowed to be looted in outskirts

that squad was hilarious, because it was a bounty hunter squad that was looking for a place to spawn on me and I picked up an assassination task on one of the mercs in the squad

so I could just see a kill marker on my minimap following me around

[marsh bridge]

almighty grok has commanded and we shall obey! (winter for me rn)

is it possible to adjust the soulslike mod, so that I lose all my equipment except for a single equipment slot (f.e. lose everything but the pistolslot on death)?

[last mesa]

[warm verge]

aoengine balances out the

shitty ass performance drop KVMA adds

i get like

comfortable 60-70 with both

lol

[last mesa]

Love the new look, and also I need some bed spreads so i can make a couch for the TV, so it's not done yet

What do you guys think?

[river parcel]

neat, I'd have never thought to make a base there because I've been hit by snorks around that corner before lol

[river parcel]

honestly the largest performance drop I get in base gamma is the inventories with large numbers of items. I can get a difference of like 20-30fps between the start of a run and the end of a run in the same places

[versed badge]

where is that?

[river parcel]

ladder to outskirts in the jupiter undergound

[versed badge]

imagine rogue stumbling upon a juiced hideout, the next time he escorts someone through the underground

[last mesa]

Huh. I do have mutant spawn close by, but never in this part of the tunnel where the base is. Besides there is a campfire where I let my companions relax right on the other side between me and the muties, so it's all good

[last mesa]

Bro would be stoked xD

[river parcel]

I've only had a snork get that far into the map once before, but all it takes is getting jumped when you thought you were safe once to never think you're safe there again lol

[last mesa]

As I said. I never had anything in the hideout area, just outside the door

what do you guys think about this? ai in stalker? like chat ai

I disagree with the title saying "Most impressive"

[burnt swallow]

why

[wise palm]

it's not really that impressive to add a chat bot to a game

the most impressive mod is stuff like you did with weather or graphical gun adding etc

without blowing up the engine

[burnt swallow]

its not

the whole framework is in engine

you only need to add the values you want

its not impressive at all

[wise palm]

I guess nothing is impressive then. I just don't like the idea of adding stuff like that because then we will get ai generated mods

[burnt swallow]

It's literally just a fancy TTS

Would people be morally ok with it if it used Loquendo instead of newer technology?

!default + what Juangster said, you can retrieve the mod easily

To bring your mod list, settings and keybinds back to default, inverting any changes made by you:

1. Open the G.A.M.M.A. Launcher with admin rights
2. Uncheck every box EXCEPT Delete Reshade DLLs
3. Click on Install / Update G.A.M.M.A

Note: If you wish to keep your keybinds and graphical settings, go to Anomaly\appdata and backup user.ltx.

Anyone know how long psy storms used to be? I feel like I want them to be longer but at the same time if I disable that mod I don't want them taking 30 minutes, you know?

[haughty stone]

I'm playing Gamma again after playing "vanilla" Anomaly. Gamma is so much better and juicier

[oblique reef]

You really want to extend the Hobophase jeez

An in game month is like a full ass playthrough for me

[burnt swallow]

18 ingame minutes <- current duration

idk how long they used to be

[agile epoch]

oki oki. Do you also happen to know how many real minutes/seconds that is? ie what is the games timescale?

Oh

[burnt swallow]

emission is 50 ingame minutes

so im guessing

psi used to also be 50

[agile epoch]

Ah well if thats true then thats about the length I want

[burnt swallow]

https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/3etn2a/lost_alpha_setting_the_timescale/

[agile epoch]

I'll give it a shot and hope I'm not immobile for half an hour lol

[burnt swallow]

give what a shot

[agile epoch]

Disabling the short psy storm mod. I want them to be a bit longer. The duration of an emission would be good. Make it feel like more of a storm and less of a squall.

[burnt swallow]

atmos has 46 ingame minutes

for a psi storm

and 50 for blowout

[agile epoch]

Okay so if the timescale is set to 10 that's 60 seconds for 10 in game minutes

[burnt swallow]

why would the timescale be set to 10

[agile epoch]

So that'll be a bit less than 3 real minutes

[burnt swallow]

its supposed to be on 1

10 is 10x faster

also i have no idea if the guy on reddit is right lmao

[agile epoch]

Right. Well a timescale isn't minute for minute or emissions would take 50 real minutes.
Timescale should be 10 if for every 1 minute in real time 10 minutes passes in game. If that translates properly then an emission is slightly shorter than a 3 minute duration.

[burnt swallow]

just

open the game

open debug

press start emission

and start a timer

if you need to be 100% sure

[agile epoch]

I already did say I was going to try it. I just hadn't gotten that far yet. I left off inside the BS just as a psy-storm was happening and thats when I had the idea to try and make them longer.

That was also last night and I was definitely not sober so maybe this is a bad idea? But I'm following through anyway lol.

[prisma meadow]

Idk, things don't have Stalker's charm. I just love the locations and etc.
New games are too Tarkovish which isn't my cup of tea tbh.

I'm also playing Wartales. Fantastic game.

[normal island]

Never heard of it

oh wow

It's a kind of sandbox game, you have a squad of sellswords and mercs and you have to make a name for yourself. There are scenarios that act like story lines that are really interesting. All the good things I love about Anomaly/GAMMA

There's one of the medium neutral stalker armors that's also got good stats, no ?

[humble shoal]

wastelander ?

[jade sinew]

oh yeah wastelander

[humble shoal]

its good too , there are many good medium suits in a game right now

[jade sinew]

yeah

not alot of good heavies though. Hybrid and Ace seem like the only decent ones there.

which one's the Pathfinder ?

[humble shoal]

merc one

[last mesa]

Skat-9 Freedom or Duty Command Class

[humble shoal]

there is not alot of them , but you reliably find them every playthrough

[open wasp]

New recipe for the heavy kit is rough, tho I guess it's really meant as a way to get it while grinding for the expert

[humble shoal]

no way you go to radar with meduim armor

[jade sinew]

I gotto get myself a good Heavy armor

[humble shoal]

ive never seen anyone doing this

[open wasp]

Did it quite a few times in medium

[humble shoal]

i mean its doable , but it doesnt really makes sense

[jade sinew]

BTW,

[humble shoal]

since playing up north with meduim helmet will be a pain in the ass

[jade sinew]

is the KS-23 Shotgun even worth it ? Its just got a 4 round mag

[open wasp]

It's fine, tho haven't done it since artifact & armor rework

[humble shoal]

its good against 2 types of enemies

which is giant and chimera

otherwise its as bad as all other shotguns

[jade sinew]

mutants move too fast in this game. fast-firing weapons with big mags seem alot more effective

[humble shoal]

thats gonna be harder this patch , since you cant have tier 2 artifacts before you do radar

[open wasp]

Crossing fingers for a good pelt then, no way I'm grinding for 2 adv

[last mesa]

Hey guys. Has anyone seen this bug with grass before?

[jade sinew]

Any fixed locations or stashes where one can find a decent heavy armor or helmet before Radar ?

[open wasp]

No fixed stashes in gamma

[humble shoal]

you cant find helmets in stashes

[last mesa]

Merc camp in AW if you're hostile with them

[jade sinew]

ahh

[open wasp]

This

[jade sinew]

still running around in Renegade armor

Renegade and Bandit armor is only decent for the beginning zones

[last mesa]

Spwncamping AI real

[harsh sandal]

Too bad the rpg guy hesitated

[last mesa]

He didn't the last 3 tries

I decided to record the fourth one because I got frustrated and somehow won

[jade sinew]

Oh wait, It's not wastelander. Its the Nomad suit.

[warm verge]

errrrrrrr

[haughty stone]

15k???
The grenades and ammo I spent on them would cost at least twice as much

[harsh sandal]

Yeah

It's not worth it unless you aim for giant hide

[lusty gate]

where is the "old shack" in army warehouse?

[harsh sandal]

The one in the middle of the toxic lake

Anyway the spot it mentioned is the concrete pipes nearby

[warm verge]

oh yay

cant wait for the SHITMMA installer to freeze up

[wary wharf]

hey listen to me, a bow in gamma

[jade sinew]

How about a minigun or heavy cal machinegun only usable by exos ?

[wary wharf]

heavy bow??

I drank a lot of coffee today

[shadow cave]

Bow would be cool

Different tip types with different effects

Like a serrated one with heavy bleeding

[normal island]

Bow and other useless fucking things in the zone

[wary wharf]

We have canned beans why not bows

[river parcel]

yo I got huge rat RNG

that bitch the size of a pseudodog

[celest sparrow]

How does one relate to the other

[wary wharf]

https://tenor.com/view/rat-mouse-frien-gif-23468077

In lore, don't rats carry an anonymous disease?

[river parcel]

ah hell nah miss me with that anomalous plague

[wary wharf]

is that I really like the stalker lore

[shadow cave]

Useless cause they're not cool

[normal island]

Useless cause they're useless

Wouldn't work for mutants or stalkers

It would be like a tushkano only weapon lol

[ruby valve]

had a break from stalker in general for a few months, really waiting for sss23 to drop. I understand that we probably dont have a release date

anywhere i can follow the progress?

looking forward to the anti aliasing

[normal island]

Or you could pay the $5 or whatever it is to get the beta and play rn

[ruby valve]

would it be fully compatible with gamma?

im guessing i would have to just disable the old sss

[shadow cave]

Awesome stash

[wary vapor]

I finally decided to try the KS-23 and I'm getting mixed results. I ran out to the Garbage and found a few kinds of mutants. Boars head on seem to take more than one shot (which is disapointing even thouugh I know their heads are armored). So I tried some Lurkers. Sometimes one shot annihilates them, sometimes I need a second shot. But it seems inconsistent because sometimes I'll put a perfect headshot on a Lurker and they keep coming, then other times I'll hit one in the shoulder and it drops instantly. Is this just because shotguns are inconsistent? Should I be using buckshot or slugs for mutants in the KS-23? Something else I am missing?

[river parcel]

wait for mutants to get within about 10m, and don't use the short barrel variants unless you're putting a suppressor on the drozd

[celest sparrow]

Buckshot

[languid oak]

range is important

[river parcel]

currently it is impossible to remove the jam chance for the KS-23, so just press the unjam key every time you fire it

shrap-25 and .357 HP are my two favourites for one tapping mutants, but remember that you do have to aim for the head

[wary vapor]

Are you saying I should use buckshot, or that buckshot is the reason I am seeing inconsistent behavior?

[celest sparrow]

Use Buckshot

[languid oak]

use buckshot

[wary vapor]

thought so, thanks guys (I was using it for the record)

[mild wing]

barrikada ammo is mainly for slamming human heads

stick to the shrapnel

[wary vapor]

Except for boars right?

[languid oak]

aim for the flank if you try to kill boars

[river parcel]

boars specifically are inconsistent, you'll kill basically everything else in the zone in the same amount of shots

they just have so much HP that they can run through anomalies before you reach them and live, so the amount of shots it takes to kill them varies almost every single time

they're probably the only mutant in the game that I think is just irredeemably bad lol

[wary vapor]

that's good to know

[normal island]

They use a recent version of the demonized exes so probably, yeah

[sick yoke]

Shoot boars in the body

Not the head

[blissful ivy]

no shoot the boars in the head

its better trust me bro

[mild wing]

shoot them in the head

but more

it's about sending a message

[light ruin]

Shoot them in the head, just up the caliber

[blissful ivy]

shoot them in the head, with .950 JDJ

[sinful osprey]

Never had an issue with boars
Early game use cover and get on top of things and shoot them in the side
Mid/late game just shoot them with your mutant killing gun and they die
Even if you're only shooting the head it doesn't take that long to kill them

[blissful ivy]

no one should have issues

theyre like the 4th easiest to deal with

dogs being 1st, cats being 2nd and pdogs being 3rd

oh wait

fleshes are 1st

[burnt swallow]

i wanted to say something but i figured i shouldnt

so i wont

bye

[blissful ivy]

ok pipnik

[sinful osprey]

Correction
I had an issue with boars before I understood how to fix a decent weapon
