settings

gameplay > general iirc

doesnt affect ironman

[prisma crag]

[blissful ivy]

i did it earlier, actually it saved me

because somehow renaming the save seperated it

so when i accidentally launched with debug

i tried old save

[prisma crag]

Holy hell its fuckin windy outside

[blissful ivy]

it was ok

so i just lost like 10 hours

not 60

or whatever that save was

probably 100+

[prisma crag]

I lost a 70 hour save to that

[blissful ivy]

yeah i somehow saved it

idk why it worked

[prisma crag]

I was messing around on another save with debug and forgot to turn it off

Memory access violation moment

Now it wont close and I cant find it in task manager

ahah I found it

[waxen plinth]

[prisma crag]

Memory access violation on every other startup

Gonna need to fix that

[waxen plinth]

[stone kiln]

Can you get Tier 3 and higher artifacts before BS?

[celest sparrow]

A couple

[stone kiln]

I cleaned Dead City of mercs, one of them dropped a book to craft higher advanced artifacts. Wonder if I can get it all by farming high level enemies

[celest sparrow]

You can only get that Recipe which allows you to get T4s

T3 Recipe is in Jupiter

But you can acquire the Flame, Bubble and Flash from the Flea Market
You can get Flame from Ecologist Quest in Yantar as a random reward
and rarely Dynamic Anomalies in X-16 and X-18 can spawn T3s

[thorny folio]

HE DOES HAVE AN SMLE!!! I LOVE YOU JAUN

[stone kiln]

Nice info, thank you Stalker, I'll go do some exploring in the labs then

[prisma crag]

I have an FAL wooden

Just no tools

Why it gotta give me an FAL wooden early game

an SA-58 OSW would go so hard as well

Or an AMB-17

[last mesa]

Are you playing at 720P?

[last mesa]

Kinda. 1280x768p . Doing best I can with what I have

[prisma crag]

I respect it

[last mesa]

Thank you.

[scarlet orbit]

Is this normal- I've got binocs upgraded zoom and can see the terrain texture drop off. I'm maxed out on settings too.

[blissful ivy]

yeah thats normal

its just that the engine isnt really meant to have a good view of something like 400 meters away

youre meant to only really see 150ish meters in CoP for instance

[scarlet orbit]

Yeah I get it mate. Just first time I've ever noticed it really..!

Still a beautiful looking game.

[blissful ivy]

idk just an old engine

held together by vodka fueled dreams

and tape

lots of tape

[scarlet orbit]

I'm using Reworked Device and the new PDA is ace- but, it's a bit too far away so the screen looks a little small. Is there a way to bring it closer when looking at it after right clicking to view?

[prisma crag]

Imagine if someone remade the monolith engine and it worked with all the mods that currently exist with gamma

That would be so cool

[haughty oxide]

tf kind of ominous ass callout is that

[blissful ivy]

sin

[haughty oxide]

i was hoping it was the one from the anecdote

[blissful ivy]

from the what?

[haughty oxide]

there's an anecdote in the stalker series that NPCs tell at the campfire. Something about "black stalker"

[cunning patio]

they're referencing sin

which was the cut faction

[valid crater]

"dark stalker"" - "under attack by fanatics" ... both Sin. But when someone from Duty complains about Sin ... reminds me of my recent "We're under attack by UNISG" ... while in Garbage, and then flea market was riddled with corpses and two of them had been UNISG.

[scarlet orbit]

Don't know if it's a bug the Devs want to knwo about- but I just climbed that bookshelf with a container on the top of it in the Army Base South of Cordon and flew out the top of the building and came back down on the roof.

[opal phoenix]

yo how does that theres an arti nearby icon work

one that appears next to hud

[blissful ivy]

it means theres an artifact nearby?

use your detector?

[opal phoenix]

do you need to have a detector in your backpack

equipped

[blissful ivy]

it needs to be in the slot iirc

[opal phoenix]

can it detect only up to detectors strength

[blissful ivy]

yes

[opal phoenix]

how big is thew range

[blissful ivy]

its a little smaller than the detectors active range

[opal phoenix]

[blissful ivy]

so having it out is slightly better

[opal phoenix]

that sounds convenient

[blissful ivy]

but then you cant have a rifle out

but the difference is not that big

its like 3-5 meters less range

which is barely a problem

[opal phoenix]

can you up the condition of hides now?

or am i stuck with a 38% lurker

[blissful ivy]

no

you just get a better knife

and skin animals

to get another one

until you get a 99% one with the best knife

but thats later

[opal phoenix]

oh so having a better knife matters now

[blissful ivy]

for now aim for the M9 bayonet

[opal phoenix]

damn

[blissful ivy]

thats a decent one that can be gotten earlier

and at max rep you can get kukri or the other knife (the other one is better)

[opal phoenix]

anywhere i can see the ranking?

or if you remember

[blissful ivy]

no you just hover mouse over knife

its in the desc

[opal phoenix]

ah

nice nice

[blissful ivy]

it will say 50% - 65% or something

depending on knife

also the kukri is from nato traders

[opal phoenix]

and hunters backpack is not a backpack anymore

[blissful ivy]

it sucks ass tho because its big

[blissful ivy]

yeah

just carry it with you

it doesnt work the same

[opal phoenix]

that is a nice design

[blissful ivy]

it just increases the chance to get more of the same items

say you get 1 dog heart

with hunter bag

you might get 2 or 3

thats all it does

[opal phoenix]

[blissful ivy]

its nice to have

[opal phoenix]

nice nice

[gusty cosmos]

is the new levels addon in moddb the latest one?

i recall last time i added this to gamma i got redirected to another site with some supposed fixes but that was like over a year ago

[uncut hawk]

i think there is a few community fixes for it for gamma

[gusty cosmos]

alright, but the new levels itself is still on .53 then?

[uncut hawk]

yeeeah, maybe, probably yes

[gusty cosmos]

let's hope the russian fellas aint hiding 5 gigs of new content on some vk site

[uncut hawk]

Moskvich and vk? nah, never

[gusty cosmos]

thanks bro, any addons you personally like and would reccomend?

[uncut hawk]

oooooooh

))))

#1387494277218566454

[gusty cosmos]

yeah just set that up

[uncut hawk]

[gusty cosmos]

it was very cool in anthology

[uncut hawk]

anthology have old version

too old

[gusty cosmos]

ngl i'm not a super fan of 3d pdas overall but i gotta grow up sometime

[uncut hawk]

I think i can make a fix for 2d version, but...

Too lazy

[gusty cosmos]

yeah thanks but 3d is just better, my stubborn ass just don't like change

[uncut hawk]

The only problem is that its not allow to reboot pda in 2d mode

so i "disabled" it

[gusty cosmos]

now the question is do i want to bloat my gun list with even more or not🤔

[uncut hawk]

no

[gusty cosmos]

true fwp is enough

don't even know if there any more MAS compatiable weapons out there

that said there is an particular AR in RWAP that i always end up using that i kinda wanna use

thing is it's supposedly super old, needs 4 billion fixes and then add MAS compatability

I'm thinking of just learning how to do it myself and just fix that one single gun

[warm verge]

average gamma mod (looking at you, FWP.)

[scarlet orbit]

For HFX to work do I have to uninstall Particles Cinemtic VFX BOTZ YAWM? HFX only works when it's ticked off? I have HFX at the VERY bottom of MO2 btw

What's the reason as to why monolith have the baige patch and the other blue one?

[near estuary]

[cunning patio]

oh nvm the second one is clear sky one

[near estuary]

yeah they probably didn't want two factions having a yellow/blue patch

[cunning patio]

blue one that is

[steep holly]

does anyone here play without a HUD? and if so, how do you keep track of the status of your limbs?

ohhn i just realized i suppose you could see the arms swing when you hold the weapon and that your guy makes a painfull sound when you run + blurry vision if your head is fucked up... hmmmm

does chest have any indicator that its bellow 50% hp ?

1st time trying without a HUD here you see

[silver snow]

Spent an hour enabling and disabling mods to find out why alt aim wasn’t working and all I had to do was hit shift

[scarlet orbit]

Can you buy/find Heavy Repair kits or have to craft them?

[random grail]

Craft/buy

[valid crater]

You can buy them after giving a mechanic expert tools. 🤡

[steep holly]

Craft, but you can craft one with the advanced toolkit, its just going to cost you ALOT of expensive materias. Or you wait until you have expert toolkit

[valid crater]

It's not that expensive to be honest with advanced tools, just be aware it will consume an advanced tool kit.

[steep holly]

Wont it consume like 3 advanced kits?

[valid crater]

It's two, so you need 3 to still have one left, but can be crafted with just 2 and you won't have any left.

Still worth it to craft as soon as two advanced are available. It's also not that complicated to get lots of basic ones to craft an advanced one.

[pure remnant]

adv tool in garbage nice

[last mesa]

I wish we coukld get the old AK animations and positioning back in without bricking the game...

I miss using AKs...

[blissful ivy]

you probably can

just need to ask someone competent

no im not that someone

before you ask

[last mesa]

I know. i tried myself but my game got bricked the moment I turned the "Reimagination" off. I really hate it ngl

[blissful ivy]

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion maybe?

ask them for help or see if someone is feeling charitable

[covert arch]

are ghillie suits actually useful or should i scrap it

[blissful ivy]

useless

dont let that one retard who loves them deceive you

they suck

[covert arch]

hahahha ait

[blissful ivy]

theres this one dude

who stands by them

no idea where he is

[last mesa]

I wish they weren't lol

[blissful ivy]

but hes like "ITS BETTER THAN NOSOROGS"

yeah no it aint fuckwit

its barely better than the LC-S

maybe not even that

[last mesa]

Imagine if they had a buff to stealth, or rather reduction to enemy visual cone

[blissful ivy]

yeah but stealth itself barely works

if it does at all

kill one dude and now they know where you are

or even touch a fucking BUSH and they hear you

from like 40 meters

thats why suppressors have those stat buffs

its to compensate for the lack of a stealth system, giving them purpose

[last mesa]

You really never snuck past anyone in this game?

[blissful ivy]

rarely ever

im also predisposed to shoot people

so if i have a sneaky opportunity

i just shoot them in the fucking face/back

[last mesa]

Firing from the front at the face is better if you have an accurate enough gun to hit the eyes, otherwise both are good

But don't get cocky and run a 9 mil at a guys face. Eyeshot does not guarantee a kill with lower damage/ap ammo

[timber nimbus]

idk i once played a mono and sneaked inside merc base in outskirts just to loot quest stash, literally crouch-walking 1m away from 5 mercs
it was stormy tho, npc get debuff

[blissful ivy]

no shit i know this

but im pointing out that i just shoot their head regardless

if im undetected, that wont last long

i will get a cheap shot in on enemies to open an engagement

[last mesa]

Fair, tho can you get as close as to stab a guy in the back of the head?

[blissful ivy]

no i dont care to waste my time waddling up to a dude

when i could just shoot his head smoove off

[last mesa]

Fair enough

[blissful ivy]

i just cant be asked when i have a mosin with perfectly good 7N1

[last mesa]

If 7N1 can pierce enough then sure

[blissful ivy]

in early game it can

[last mesa]

I think I found an issue

If it's as simple as just placing ! in the right places then I may just be able to do it myself

Huh. Wait a sec

DX9 patch fucked it up by not being the overwrite but a definition instead

Can't believe this was this easy... Something will go wrong...

Knew it.

Welp. Off to investigate more XD

TOOO many bullpups...

[sick yoke]

Why are the svd and ak on there

There’s already actual bullpups of those

Making a fake cursed bullpup for them is just padding

[stone kiln]

Haven't played GAMMA since before the artefact and armour rework. Is BS now more difficult inside or outside?

[sick yoke]

Either made easier or hasn’t changed

Don’t remember

[valid crater]

Did not change much for BS, it's still the same more or less.

[waxen plinth]

Gamma in a nutshell

[stiff wyvern]

since its not weighted for animation is becomes visible when the character sits down i assume

[sterile iron]

hey guys is anyone playing here borderless ?

im on dx11 using borderless and it crashed really often for no reason

is it beacause of the borderless window or my pc?

[last mesa]

I'd check RAM usage

If it spikes beyond 90% there is your reason

If not you should get a Fatal Error in your log

Since I play in borderless and my errors are either RAM or some trivial error

Also. God fucking dammit Gamma fell to shit

Like I still find it enjoyable sometimes

But my gripes?

• DX8 AK scopes are shit
• AK Animations lost flair
• SVD no longer has that bolt ring when you chamber a round in a fresh mag
• No more godlike resistances (res caps)
• Poor old sandstone.
• "Item Bloat" optimization kills variety and the collectors mindset even if it's really the same performance wise.
• No stacking artifacts, pelts or attachments on the belt

And while I can understand things like res caps introduction or no stacking items on the belt or removal of the old sandstone because it all was the vision of Gamma being harsh, I still find it fucked up how variety is killed by "THERE ARE TOO MANY AKS!". It just sucks. Or the SVD bolt ring. It was so enjoyable to load in a mag and hear it in the base before another run, but now it's just fucking dull. And the worst offender, the DX8 being phased out. Stalker was made for weaker hardware, and DX8 should be an option, and new versions should be playtested on it as well to ensure the players are not cut off. I may be one of the few players still being forced to play on it due to weak hardware, but I am not the only one.

This modpack is getting worse and worse with each update.

[lethal steeple]

somehow not allowing people to stack 5 copies of the same item removes variety

and i still can't fathom what do you not understand about me patching the sandstone

it's not that i take personal issue with my idea being the current sandstone

the resistance caps complaint is just aversion to change

plain and simple

i also don't understand the "item bloat" point like what the fuck does that even mean

[mild wing]

you can still get some stupidly high resistances

[sick yoke]

But the res caps make you more godlike lol

Went from 85% br% cap to 95% then down to 90%

[last mesa]

Those are two separate things. I meant like how Hera or butcher were phased out. That's the variety gripe. Stacking compasses is a whole different thing.

[last mesa]

I understood it. Have you read the message?

[sick yoke]

And 90% is essentially godmode anyway

[steep cloak]

Lads Im curious, are there any DOG companion mods?

wouldnt mind have a russian Fido with me

[last mesa]

Not really aversion to change. It's quite a long standing concept at this point considering it was there, just hidden for a while. I just dislike it in general.

[last mesa]

That's what I was asking.

[last mesa]

True, but you cannot be literally invincible to gunfire or mutant hits, or psy damage anymore. That's what I meant. With anomalous res you can just pop a firefly/HotO and be gucci, guns and claws deal way more damage

[sick yoke]

To be fair 6 different cig flavors for all your lung cancer needs is kind of egregious

[last mesa]

I don't like the fact it's there at all. That's the thing, not the fresh changes. If you haven't noticed I spoke of the GAMMA from the moment I first played it in 2022

[lethal steeple]

why do i have like 100 tags

ah

by 2022 the actor damage balancer was already a thing and thus resistance was already capped

[last mesa]

That's true. I'd prefer variety was removed in this way, rather than in guns.

[lethal steeple]

you don't know what you're talking about

it's rose tinted glasses

[last mesa]

Interesting how it wasn't an issue then because of stackable items on belts completely negating that issue

[lethal steeple]

???????

???????????????????????????????

[sick yoke]

If momo says the cap was always a thing then I believe them

[lethal steeple]

see i don't care about resistances being capped because i could just have stacked items to get to that cap but it negated the issue let me tell you

??????

[last mesa]

It may have been, but it sure as shit wasn't as noticeable.

[lethal steeple]

xd

[sick yoke]

This is literally “it got worse because now I can see the hidden stat”

[lethal steeple]

yeah

quite literally

[last mesa]

You forgot you could stack heals as well. That made the caps trivial because even if you got hit you healed before you noticed.

[lethal steeple]

holy

[last mesa]

HotOs galore

[lethal steeple]

ah you mean belt health regen

okay

which you still can do

but you know

[formal wing]

yeah you can still do that

100%

[sick yoke]

This is this, and that is that

[last mesa]

I do, tho with new res caps it's capped so low that it's no longer trivial

[sick yoke]

Thanks Roland from library of ruina

[lethal steeple]

you can get up to 90% balls

pre 093 you could get only up to 85%

[sick yoke]

Max res caps get higher
“It’s capped so low”

[lethal steeple]

it it just aversion to change because bro does not want to use +cap items and wants to still rock the same belt he used in 2022

that's textbook aversion to change

[last mesa]

I wonder how the hell did I run in CNPP with a Nosorog, mowing down monolith and didn't get hurt one bit when shot at due to double compass and double HotO on the belt. Shit guns or the fact I was stacked enough not to notice?

[sick yoke]

Because 85% res is still really fucking high?

[lethal steeple]

and if my math serves me right, 90% is even higher

[sick yoke]

You take like, 7 damage from 5.56 or some shit

[last mesa]

Besides aversion to change? Cool. Tell me how the fuck am I supposed to get a dopamine hit without my SVD racking bolt ringing like an M1 Garand ping like in the past, or with the PSO-1 covering HALF the fucking screen nowadays? Previously it was lowered with the scope, now it's right in my face.

[sick yoke]

Gamma is just nostalgia bait for itself

[last mesa]

Can't run a well kitted AK nowadays without being blind by the eyecup smh

[lethal steeple]

and people say i shit on gamma for no reason all the time

look at this guy

the game is fucking RUINED because a sound was changed

[formal wing]

real gamers will say the scope taking up half your screen is a gameplay element and design choice

[lethal steeple]

the game is fucking RUINED because the max damage resistance got higher

which somehow makes me feel weaker

??????

insane

[sterile iron]

atp just mod ur gamma bro

[last mesa]

I would if it wasn't such a fucking mess

[sterile iron]

it always was no?

[formal wing]

modding gamma is unforunately dogstuck easy

[sterile iron]

xddd

[formal wing]

mess is just a part of modding games

[last mesa]

Changing anything in it feels like playing with Jenga. One thng works fine, the other fells the tower (Breaks the save/game)'

[formal wing]

i say unfortunately it's actually very fortunate

[last mesa]

It’s like someone replaced an old diesel truck with a silent Tesla. Technically faster, objectively better... but it doesn’t rumble bones or smell like burnt oil anymore.

[sick yoke]

The “real reason” you’d be “weaker” is because the Artis got changed not caps

[sterile iron]

btw its using 11gb out of 16 ram when im playing with borderless

[last mesa]

Then check log file for errors at the bottom

[formal wing]

teslas rumble like fuck by the way

some of the worst suspension on a modern car

not surprising from

[last mesa]

pffft. I meant the engine rumble bruv XD

[sick yoke]

And if you say the arti changes suck then that kind of is just aversion to change

[last mesa]

What about the SVD bolt ring or AKs being fucked?

[lethal steeple]

the svd thing is an absolutely mental thing to hyperfixate on

[last mesa]

I can overlook the caps and sandstone, as I said, since GAMMA has a specific vision, but those changes are just a big "Fuck you"

[sick yoke]

Shame I guess

[lethal steeple]

and the ak animations are idk i haven't really seen them but it's understandable

not to that degree

but understandable

[formal wing]

this is like the guy yesterday or something who was talking about how the "NEW UI"(UI hasn't changed in years minus a few small changes) is "UE5 slop"

[last mesa]

Maybe for you. I use it like 24/7 in game. Loosing it is painful.

[formal wing]

refusing to elaborate

[sick yoke]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[lethal steeple]

bro says he knows why the sandstone was changed despite me telling him for literal YEARS that what he thinks is not why it was changed

[last mesa]

I haven't updated to that version lol

[lethal steeple]

and i'm saying that being the guy that changed the sandstone

the guy that proposed the change and implemented it

[sick yoke]

Also didn’t you bring up the pso ak thing like months ago and got told it didn’t lol

Or it was a dx8/dx9 specific problem, something like that

[last mesa]

It does. I didn't have a gripe with it before did I? I used the AKs unironically for the longest fucking time and I enjoyed it, and now? Now it's just fucked

[last mesa]

Yes. It is DX8 specific problem, and that's one of the gripes

[stiff wyvern]

tbh the only change in the past 12 months i didnt like is the howa recoil nerf

[blissful ivy]

what about the jams

[stiff wyvern]

idk, jams are alright atm, i didnt die a single time to a 100% gun jam in all my 1life runs

[last mesa]

Oh yeah. KS23 jams on 100% con is also shit

[stiff wyvern]

so, seems fair i guess?

[lethal steeple]

they should've fucking accounted for ME and MY poor hardware dude what the FUCK is their FUCKING PROBLEM bro PLAYTEST your fucking SHIT so that you don't phase out the 2 players that use dx8 still

[stiff wyvern]

just gotta bring repair stuff for longer expeditions

[formal wing]

as a returning Gamma player i'm of the mind jams are a good thing but i can see why it frustrates some people

i wish the stalkers voice-line cue for "fuck my gun's jammed" played more consistently though since i usually just assume i'm out of ammo once i hear the mag click

[blissful ivy]

[lethal steeple]

idk grey it's just insane pet peevery at the end of the day

[last mesa]

I'm sorry, but expecting shit to work on a release version is a bad thing?

[lethal steeple]

yeah

honestly in this case yeah

[mild wing]

didn't grok do a small backtrack on the jam changes though? the "no jam on full condition" addon is on by default now iirc

[lethal steeple]

because dx8 has been being phased out for the last 3 years

you should've not updated

you knew this was coming

everyone told you abou it

if gamma was so good back in the day then why did you insist on updating

[last mesa]

Nobody told me DX8 is gonna be fucked

[formal wing]

i'm still a few patches behind because i'm on linux and updating is a hassle

somehow running this game on linux seems to cause me less issues than running it on DX8 though

[mild wing]

the thing is i don't know for sure because i had that thing activated for a long while now

[last mesa]

Because new stuff? Pelts were fun, the artifact reinvention looked promising, the repair system revamp was also cool looking, but once I got my hands on it all it started to fall apart like paper in the rain

[mild wing]

it's either default or planned to be made default in the next patch

[sick yoke]

Can’t really blame grok that not every modder supports dx8 anymore

[lethal steeple]

no one supports dx8 anymore since ages ago

most weapons need patching for the game not to crash on dx8

and that has been a thing since like 2021

[formal wing]

pelts are in a much better place than they were pre 0.9.4 i'd say

[crimson moss]

guys, I'm doing my first run as merc, and I delivered the briefcase to the bandits but the ecologists didn't like that.
What are the implications of my decision ?

also yeah pelts have numbers now

before they were miserable at best

but hey you could stack them!!!!!!!!

[mild wing]

only a small hit on the goodwill value

[formal wing]

you could stack them for some early game resistances

[lethal steeple]

that was where the funs were at!!!!!!

[stiff wyvern]

i like the pelt change, really makes you think if you want a chimera or giant one

rest is just filler or niche stuff, which is perfectly fine

[formal wing]

but some might say you shouldn't have early game resistances 😼

[crimson moss]

Thanks

[last mesa]

But why not make the fucking guns use the PSO-1 eyecupless models without DX11 specific meshes instead of just slapping old scopes on if you know the positioning will be fucked? And if that would be the case why not inform with the update "The positioning on some guns may be worse then in previous versions for DX8"? or just not add it to DX8 version that has it's own separate MO2 profile?

There’s a difference between “deprecated” and “broken.” Phasing out is fine if it’s gradual and transparent, but this was more like “surprise! Half your visuals are scuffed and half your sounds are gone, enjoy the future!”

Like what the fuck?

[lethal steeple]

it doesn't get less insane

like for one the sound thing is the easiest thing to patch yourself

and second be the change you want

literally

[formal wing]

well since you make it sound so easy you could be the one to start the patches ... These things happen, particularly with old, especially 'community' modded games, and It's not specific to GAMMA(or Anomaly)

[lethal steeple]

i started modding anomaly because i didn't like some stuff

[last mesa]

And yeah, A2’s right that Grok can’t personally babysit every renderer, but come on. This isn’t some fringe case. DX8 has been a lifeline for players with mid-2010s hardware. Cutting it loose with zero fallback or warning just leaves a chunk of the playerbase in the dirt.

[lethal steeple]

what chunk

[last mesa]

I tried, I ended up on engine errors

[lethal steeple]

you and delight were the only people that played on dx8 by necessity

there has been no person in newbies complaining about dx8 in newbies for the longest time

[last mesa]

Only ones who speak here at least

[lethal steeple]

no comment

i'm out

[sick yoke]

Yeah no that’s not a valid argument at all

[last mesa]

You know what? Fuck this.

I'm out. Gamma was a gas, but nowadays it's just becoming worse and worse

yet, here we are

[formal wing]

yeah i don't really use the newbies chat

[sick yoke]

Reminds me of some random guy who unironically said “violent crime in other countries is just as bad as the US, they just don’t report it as much”

[formal wing]

or any other channel in this server really

[lapis nacelle]

stalkers

ive got like a thought

[mild wing]

all you need is a proper disagreement with walls of text and the channel is cured

[formal wing]

don't hurt yourself

[lapis nacelle]

why is Duty so weak?

[near estuary]

so what actually happened with DX8?

[lapis nacelle]

yall why is Duty so weak lore like

[near estuary]

wdym weak

[lapis nacelle]

theyve only got territories in Rostok and Northern Garbage, Like Jesus theyre weak

[sick yoke]

Like at that point your argument is just “I’m making up statistics”

[last mesa]

AK repositioning fucked up the guns so they take half the screen when you slap a PSO scope on any ak short of Venom.

Tho that is not the only gripe I had it's one that feels bad

[near estuary]

can't you like turn it off or something?

[lapis nacelle]

Duty has actual territories in only two areas, in comparison to for example Freedom which holds a safezone in Army Warehouses and Jupiter, along with sharing Landromat with Free Stalkers

[last mesa]

I tried. I run into some errors, tried DLTXing some files as the errors suggested, and then ran into multiple engine errors I couldn't solve

[near estuary]

how many freedomers are there in the Laundromat?

[last mesa]

Like "Assertion failed"

[near estuary]

I only remember Yar

[lethal steeple]

how do you even run into engine errors for doing dltx

[formal wing]

it's Yar and some other guy

rest in peace ...

[last mesa]

Good question. I don't know still

[lethal steeple]

it's like the guy that was adamant on making multiplayer but was being filtered by an ltx edit

yeah i mean that's completely on you tho

[near estuary]

I think that's a stretch

[lapis nacelle]

yeah, Yar, but like as I said Yar is an IMPORTANT character within outskirts like w/o him your closest technician (for duty) is all the way in Zaton

[near estuary]

bro just wants to play on his shitty potato

[lethal steeple]

not on "gamma's file structure being so bad that i can't even edit a text file without the engine seemingly shitting itself"

[formal wing]

i mean, if half the world wants the Zone either to themselves or controlled by some specific political/governmental party or not controlled at all, and Duty is one of the few groups that wants the zone capital G Gone, you can see how that might lead to some issues down the road

[near estuary]

you can use him as a duty member?

[lapis nacelle]

No? He attacks u in Landromat

[formal wing]

i always figured it was implied that Duty has Very Little influence in the zone minus their foothold in Rostok

[lapis nacelle]

Ive been there as Duty and he aggros on you in Landromat

[last mesa]

I mean it was supposed to be modular, and the old animations are still in the files, but somehow they're not avaliable due to DX9 patch redefining AK105, and when changed to overwrite instead of define it's suddenly spewing assertion error in step.c something

[near estuary]

well wdym by this

[lapis nacelle]

Your closest technician from Outskirts is in Skadovsk for Duty

[lethal steeple]

this guy is just retarded dude

the gift that keeps on giving

you just can't look away

[near estuary]

right
still, calling Laundromat a Freedom position because of a mechanic is a pretty big stretch

[last mesa]

Are you gonna help or point fun?

[lethal steeple]

point fun

[last mesa]

Then fuck you and have a good night.

[lethal steeple]

i've already helped you a lot of times over the course of these years

[mild wing]

[lapis nacelle]

well still they have a huge foothold in Jupiter and Army Warehouses, and you can see their squads practically everywhere in the Zone

[lethal steeple]

and you still come up with more and more issues that only you seem to have

[formal wing]

where are they in jupiter

[near estuary]

honestly, I see more Duty than Freedom in AW
outside the base of course

[last mesa]

I wonder why do they pop up '

[near estuary]

Yanov

[lethal steeple]

because you're retarded

[formal wing]

oh we're talking about Freedom

not Duty

[sick yoke]

Vaguely remember oflin or veerserif helping you with that

[lethal steeple]

wonder why do the issues pop up then huh

[near estuary]

can't you play with DX9? or does that bring the same problems?

[lapis nacelle]

I mean I also run into some problems but take in mind AW is a fuckshow of 4 factions: Freedom, Mercenaries, Monolith and Duty

Rostok is mostly getting attacked from the West by Mercenaries and Freedom, while holding a foothold in Garbage, and nobody comes from Truck Cemetery

[lethal steeple]

i guess they just want to see a playa down

[last mesa]

No. DX9 fries my laptop sadly

[near estuary]

how

it can't be that big of a jump

[lethal steeple]

bro's the epitome of the choosing beggar caricature

[near estuary]

are you running at like 20 FPS on DX8?

[last mesa]

Like seriously. Getting 40 fps in area where I had previously 55? No thanks. I don't even wanna know what would happen in Janov or in Army warehouses at that point if I get 20 fps there

[near estuary]

BRUH

55 vs 40 fps

end of the world

[last mesa]

No shit.

[formal wing]

i'm playing at 40FPS basically perpetually

[lapis nacelle]

@last mesa

solid question, what is your GPU?

[lethal steeple]

this has to be framed

[last mesa]

MX130 2GB Vram.

[near estuary]

I really wanted to defend him
but this is actually ridiculous

[sterile iron]

its getting carried by cpu

[formal wing]

it is a cpu intensive game

[last mesa]

I'm playing on DX8 AVX too. the CPU is i7-7500U

[lethal steeple]

god i need a pipnik edit of that screenshot

[lapis nacelle]

holy shit bro your gpu is 8 years old... i say irs time for a change

[lethal steeple]

i don't have the magic in me to make it work

[lapis nacelle]

buy a 2060 or 3060

if youre rich buy a 4050

[near estuary]

buy a new PC at that point

[sterile iron]

i was fine with a gtx 1070 bro

and i5 7500

[lapis nacelle]

it might actually come cheaper

[sterile iron]

for a while

[sick yoke]

1080ti supremacy is too real

[last mesa]

Yeah. let me just sell my damn kidney. No thanks.

Isnt it a thing where you can like

[formal wing]

yeah i'm paranoid schizophrenic enough to agree with that

[lapis nacelle]

yea a laptop is harder to upgrade

[small ermine]

[near estuary]

all of that because of a 15 FPS drop

what do yall think abouy this mod

[lethal steeple]

the spring sound cue at the end of the svd's empty reload truly was gamma's achilles tendon

[cunning patio]

what happened?

who exploded?

[last mesa]

wait why this and not 5050

[lethal steeple]

oh he left

[formal wing]

just another day in #╓☢stalker-chat

where people ask stupid questions and get stupid answers ...

[cunning patio]

@lethal steeple wtf happened ?!?!

[mild wing]

a crashout happened

[lethal steeple]

being told to upgrade was the straw tha broke the camel's back

[formal wing]

could've been the j word comment. know that's scary for a lot of Gamma players out here

[near estuary]

feels random as shit

[lethal steeple]

josta

[cunning patio]

ok but who and what

jesus youre omiting so much details

[lapis nacelle]

oh he actually left the server LOLLL

[near estuary]

Geologist

[cunning patio]

oh

[near estuary]

BRUH

[formal wing]

👎

[near estuary]

ABSOLUTE BRUH MONUMENT

[cunning patio]

he was always a bit of a weirdo

[lapis nacelle]

he crashed out becaude he cant upgrade his pc

[formal wing]

doesn't make sense for the UNISG and mercenaries to be outwardly hostile towards each other given the main UNISG quest line

[cunning patio]

so him getting butthurt this easily doesn't surprise me

[lapis nacelle]

yknow this changes in game

during the UNISG questline

[near estuary]

yeah I don't think the creator thought too much about the changes

[last mesa]

Merc suppose not to kill anyone unless there is a quest given to them

and by that meaning.

unisg def not a part of the higher up for the merc

CONSIDER in the triology

[formal wing]

yeah but that's towards the end

[last mesa]

merc do kill scientist

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1076985318693158996/1077703119036747897/1948BC51-74D3-474F-B322-70E71767F8F5.gif

[formal wing]

they actually have a very good reason NOT to up until that point in the story

[mild wing]

UNISG being hostile to mercs is a good thing gameplay wise

[near estuary]

what

[formal wing]

no

iot's not

[last mesa]

im not sure bro.

[near estuary]

how are you supposed to do the questline

[lethal steeple]

isg not being hostile to the mercs is explained by major hernandez at the start of hollow boundaries when you play as isg

[formal wing]

playing UNISG with base Gamma tasks is already a slog

[formal wing]

disguises

[mild wing]

strong enemies with top tier loot to hunt for

[lapis nacelle]

i mean Mercs were on a contract to "protect" the Ecologists in Jupiter and generally support them jn Gamma

[lethal steeple]

it's an alternate timeline what if scenario

hollow boundaries is unisg's pov of operation afterglow

[near estuary]

oh lemme disguise to meet someone expecting me

[lethal steeple]

the regular game and the isg playthrough don't follow the same continuity

that's why they're not neutral during normal gameplay

nor at the end of the game in normal gameplay

[last mesa]

you are suppose to do disguise

[lethal steeple]

and only during the isg playthrough

[last mesa]

in entire Unisg gameplay

https://tenor.com/view/ohthemisery-oh-the-misery-oh-the-misery-gif-10090736289525603098

[formal wing]

one of the first things you should seek during a UNISG playthrough is an egghead to rob of his suit

[cunning patio]

ok but why leave

[near estuary]

I mean
what is he gonna achieve here

[last mesa]

or freedom

[formal wing]

ecologist makes more sense

you're probably gonna want a scientific suit anyway

[cunning patio]

literally why leave

sure youre angry but mate

[near estuary]

I did it once too

[formal wing]

he was crashing out about the game not working long before that

[last mesa]

i upgraded my pc just to play gamma fr fr fr

7700 with 9060XT

2tb SSD NVME

(to store 1200+ mods with on gamma)

https://tenor.com/view/its-as-shrimple-as-that-shrimple-simply-mantastic-mantastic-manta-ray-gif-26542779

btw tbf his system is really outdated in a way

[cunning patio]

hes polish hes forgiven

[formal wing]

it's alright In a year when he finally upgrades his PC and rejoins the server to reinstall Gamma will be in its 20th gameplay re-iteration and utterly unrecognizable

[near estuary]

yeah I doubt that much will change

[cunning patio]

after he upgrades his system he will be unstopbable he will have the new record for longest save which nobody cares about because nobody is competing with him

[formal wing]

it's called hyperbole ...

[small ermine]

tho congrats to momo for killing that annoying dude

[near estuary]

I have a feeling the development will basically die after 1.0

[small ermine]

[last mesa]

it rather mean the game final vision is there and grok has no attempt to give it more contents

[cunning patio]

it will be most likely general bug fixes and QoL

[last mesa]

and all he could do is updating the mods list

or adding few small additional contents like idk new map

[sterile iron]

imagine the gamma is in its final version

and grok makes it pay to paly

play

[last mesa]

prob never

[small ermine]

would get sued instantly

[near estuary]

small content
new map
that's... an interesting claim

[small ermine]

1 90% of the mods in gamma are not his

[formal wing]

yeah i was gonna say

[last mesa]

consider anathology

[formal wing]

new map is not small content

[small ermine]

2 GSC said no

[last mesa]

i mean New map as in few aditional arena that may have nothing

[cunning patio]

why would he do that

[cerulean cedar]

Yo what’s new with anomaly/gamma I’ve been gone without phone access for like 3 months

[near estuary]

nothing really

[sterile iron]

i said imagine

[small ermine]

there was an attempt for this
it failed

[last mesa]

i would consider huge content as in New Map that has Quest Line around it

[cunning patio]

#📢announcements

[sterile iron]

i know that would never happen

[last mesa]

unlike anthology with bunch of new locations

like bunch dawg

[near estuary]

just a new map alone is insane amount of work

[cunning patio]

I love people who ask waht is new I Haven't played since 3000 BC
Like my guy go read the foken announcements

[cerulean cedar]

Welp did any cool mods come out

[cerulean cedar]

Ah I remember seeing some stuff before I left

FINALLY

[last mesa]

Depend if you know what you do in general

i mean fair

[formal wing]

fatal error looks pretty fun

[last mesa]

it's huge

[cerulean cedar]

Bet

[last mesa]

but for gameplay if it just becoming a filler location / buffer zone to travel

in the context of gameplay

it's not huge

[cerulean cedar]

I really wanted someone to make a found footage mod for the pdas

[lethal steeple]

wow anomaly anthology's entire trailer is the owner of the dead city from ogsr

what a hook

[cerulean cedar]

Uncanny videos of the pda owner getting murdered by a bloodsucker or something

[lethal steeple]

unironically tho that has to be the best piece of fan content stalker has ever seen before true stalker

[cerulean cedar]

True stalker was fire

[last mesa]

Barren

[near estuary]

just a shame the story had no other means of progressing than blacking out during dialogue

[last mesa]

god i cannot wait for someone to map entire stalker 2 map into the anomoly

https://tenor.com/view/its-as-shrimple-as-that-shrimple-simply-mantastic-mantastic-manta-ray-gif-26542779

[formal wing]

grok was talking about this a while ago(pre .9.4 potentially) but i think it was mentioned all of the worldbuilding story stuff is on the backburner until 1.0 is actually on the horizon

[near estuary]

[lethal steeple]

why tho

unironically why

[last mesa]

it would be so funny to see the quest being ass

[cerulean cedar]

1.0 is fake

[lethal steeple]

ah

[formal wing]

well exactly

[lethal steeple]

yeah i agree

[last mesa]

defend the barrier

[cerulean cedar]

I wonder if a story has even been written

[small ermine]

no lol

[last mesa]

god heaven i defend the north barrier in army warehouse

[small ermine]

[lapis nacelle]

tbh I would like a bandit questline

[last mesa]

( clearly the monolith got entire rostok )

[cerulean cedar]

Thought so

[frank oxide]

you wouldn't know without perms

[small ermine]

we both know
he is not doing it

[near estuary]

[small ermine]

i dont need perms for that

tho he is doing things

just not that

[cerulean cedar]

Porn?

[formal wing]

UNISG 'story' is actually pretty interesting up until it just becomes a less rewarding repeat of the 'main' quest line

[cunning patio]

fuck no

[lapis nacelle]

also is gamma worked on by a single person or like a group?

[cerulean cedar]

Both..?

[near estuary]

mostly oflin nowadays

[small ermine]

just grok

[last mesa]

i would like to see how the story can be broken in a way lmao

[frank oxide]

i mean rewriting the entire story is a lot and it'd require months if not years of testing to get it working proper
so i'd take it with a grain of salt but concept is there

[cerulean cedar]

I mean it’s multiple mod creators doing stuff but Grok just puts it together

[lapis nacelle]

Oh

[formal wing]

i'm way more into the faction politicking of the zone than i am into raiding the X-labs. I may be alone in that but 😅

[lapis nacelle]

So grok is like the main cable and the modders are the little cables that lead to the installation called stalker gamma

[near estuary]

make it the most standard series of fetch quests for all I care
just don't make me babysit retarded companions

[lethal steeple]

the concept has been there for a long time

the last time he openly discussed the story it was tarkov questlines

[lapis nacelle]

are there documents in agro underground?

[cerulean cedar]

Yes

[formal wing]

there's "documents"

[lethal steeple]

unironically considered adding stash rng items for quest progression

[last mesa]

in strelok

hideout

[lapis nacelle]

Oh yeah Strelok notes

Right

[formal wing]

yerp

[last mesa]

and the briefcase

2 briefcase anyways

[near estuary]

experts in 20 minutes

[lethal steeple]

nobody yes man'd through so he hasn't talked about the story here since

[frank oxide]

Grok manages pull requests and writing mods if needed
Blood manages backend of the launcher
Modders do 90% of the work in regards to what goes into the pack
Testers mostly making sure shit works as intended

[mild wing]

why does he love rng so much

[formal wing]

game designer mind

it's kind of just

[lapis nacelle]

agro underground done
x18 done
x16 done
x19 done
x8 done
jupiter underground done```

[formal wing]

easier to do really

[near estuary]

because it's the only cost-effective way of doing progression in this sort of game

[lapis nacelle]

are there documents in monolith control center?

[last mesa]

it's a modpack

[cerulean cedar]

And I’m the supervisor of the whole operation

[small ermine]

because its easy
And slows down progression alot on average

[last mesa]

Mods in a Package

like have you play any Mods Pack for Fallout series

like tale of 2 wastelands

[frank oxide]

true yes but also the ideas just keep shifting and there's more than one place where it's all written down and discussed

it can end up being just an idea dump, i'm not trying to claim that 1.0 is fr fr story rework

[last mesa]

nothing but nosorog and raptor spam

[prisma crag]

I should play with agony mode on my next invictus

[near estuary]

the grind is real

[white field]

I need it so that I can get hired in germany doing CNC for 20€/h

[prisma crag]

Invictus chat isnt real anymore

[frank oxide]

good

it should've been killed in 2023

[prisma crag]

[frank oxide]

happy anniversary

it's been 26 months since role deletion

[white field]

OFLINNNNNNNNN

HIIIIIII

[near estuary]

Invictus role was a bad idea from the beginning

[frank oxide]

alo

[white field]

hru

[formal wing]

invictus role... insufferable role ...

[frank oxide]

as good as can be expected

[near estuary]

"Have you seen my role??"

[white field]

and what is to be expected?

[frank oxide]

reasonably well

[white field]

nice

glad to hear that man

[lapis nacelle]

geektalk v2, why is Sin neutral to Monolith in the game?

[small ermine]

[white field]

fuck you that's why

I guess

[small ermine]

damn time flies

[last mesa]

if sin is not

[frank oxide]

Sin are the pupper masters

[formal wing]

gameplay :)

[prisma crag]

[last mesa]

what the hell they suppose to trade

[near estuary]

why not ig

[frank oxide]

Monolith are their bitches

[prisma crag]

Invictus aint nothing special to complete

[fading plinth]

pupper mastera

[prisma crag]

Just means you spent too much time playing this game

[lapis nacelle]

theyve got differnet ideald

[last mesa]

by the lore

[near estuary]

I mean yeah, that applies to any hardcore challenge in a videogame

[last mesa]

eh im pretty sure you know the cut content for dark stalker

[lapis nacelle]

Monolith wants to protect the CNPP, Sin has a goal of mostly purging the stalkers from the Zone to continue its wellbeing, without anyone

[formal wing]

my only problem with invictus is how much of it really boils down to just artifact hunting

[last mesa]

but at the same time you could really not make sin focusing to kill all

[near estuary]

purging stalkers?
the only thing that Monolith has to stop from getting to the CNPP?

[last mesa]

Monolith do not want to protect CNPP

they are controlled

[frank oxide]

reminded me of this

[last mesa]

by the monolith shard

[prisma crag]

Exactly(I have 3 successful invictus runs)

[last mesa]

or the wish granter

[near estuary]

no shit

[last mesa]

the wish granter decide what the monolith TO DO

[frank oxide]

or i suppose this one would've been better

[lapis nacelle]

i mean its more like Why would Monolith treat a someone thst aint controlled by ccon

[last mesa]

that mean the wish granter may coded to not kill the dark stalker

[prisma crag]

SLAVA!

[last mesa]

that mean in anomoly

the grant wisher decided to not kill the sin/dark stalker

[white field]

GIVE ME MONEY!

[prisma crag]

[last mesa]

but that just a theory

https://tenor.com/view/doakes-james-doakes-dexter-morgan-dexter-flashlight-gif-10593574466888155064

[prisma crag]

[lapis nacelle]

i mean wouldnt Sin generally want to get rid of Ccon for the Zone to evolve without control?

[last mesa]

im pretty sure the cut content never talk about that ?

[near estuary]

yeah but they don't have the ability to do that I think
so Monolith keeps them around as a sort of extra defensive line

[frank oxide]

i mean that's kinda their goal

reaching the generators and monolith control center, possibly trying to enter the pods and all

you stop them in le game

[prisma crag]

Should I add KVMA

[white field]

Oflin,
What has changed during the past year when I was not playing gamba?

[near estuary]

protag is actually always Monolith confirmed?

[frank oxide]

ngl i have my own theory of Sin being responsible for turning on the labs again and bringing Monolith back in 2018

[prisma crag]

ALOT

Thanks, that's all the info I needed

[prisma crag]

https://tenor.com/view/bornskywalker-dap-me-up-woody-woody-handshake-woody-toy-story-gif-26021440

[near estuary]

not that much

[formal wing]

almost everything is different in one way or another

[white field]

I believe Börka Fat when he tells me something

[formal wing]

maybe not RADICALLY different but different

[prisma crag]

My fat stores knowledge

[formal wing]

repair, artifacts, stashes behave differently now as well as far as i understand

[frank oxide]

top 5 changes this year:

• QoL shit
• TAA
• Tutorials for newbz

[white field]

repair? as in the weapons don't have % but have to clean the parts?

[frank oxide]

that's about it

[white field]

yeah I've been there for that

[prisma crag]

No, as in your jam % got fucked over and you will never have 0%

[frank oxide]

muh immersion with backpack open anim
muh interaction dots from S2

[last mesa]

the jam happen before you shoot btw

so you can have issue of you jaming before you even fire

[white field]

waht?

[last mesa]

https://tenor.com/view/ohthemisery-oh-the-misery-oh-the-misery-gif-10090736289525603098

it's ass

[frank oxide]

!jam

[dawn marten]

@white field
Types of weapon jams and how to prevent them:

• Replacement parts jam: keep condition of weapon parts above 80%
• Suppressor jam: don't use suppressors (or weapons with integrated suppressor)
• Innate jam: install Reliability upgrades (doesn't help on some weapons)

[frank oxide]

83% gun cond means there's always a chance for jams

suppressors also bring jams as their only debuff

[last mesa]

btw bolt action should never jam anyways

🥀

[prisma crag]

Yeah
Those were the 2 biggest things I noticed off rip, it also looked noticeably better

[formal wing]

unrealistic

[last mesa]

blud pulled the bolt so slow that the catridge just jam

i mean the casing

[frank oxide]

crusty ass gun

[last mesa]

goofy ahhh user

[white field]

casing didn't eject due to overpressure disfiguring it inside the barrel

[prisma crag]

[last mesa]

yeah the cut content only talk about the sin Believed in the zone like a cult

so like

[tropic grove]

So this came out

[formal wing]

casings can get stuck in bolt-action firearms not infrequently

muh realisme..

[prisma crag]

Honestly believable since its, you know, Ukrain

[last mesa]

it's fine for Sin and Monolith to be on the same team @lapis nacelle
