[past rock]

Will the hammer count as an axe for that one Chimera quest i wonder hmmmm

im expecting an answer D:

[mild wing]

nobody does these new quests

[mental furnace]

nope and axe is better against mutants

sledgehammer good against people(especially if u bonk them in the head)

[past rock]

okayyy

[vivid ridge]

is there a way to increase the frequency of fetch mutant parts because im drowning in them atm

[blissful ivy]

i have to fix everything around here smh

[blissful ivy]

you mean decrease?

also no

not as far as i know

[rain nova]

they could also mean drowning in mutant parts

[blissful ivy]

true

i just sell them regularly

i dont care about money anymore

dont run out unless its early game

[north ibex]

I love doing this

[blissful ivy]

i do too, just why cant they do it lmao

been living there for years

with 2 fucking HOLES in the wall

like damn

[remote tide]

good ole chimera hunter

excellent

[glass sable]

beutifull

i should really get more into artifact hunting

[compact wind]

i am now realizing just how much space gamma takes in my ssd

220/1000gb

[rocky jewel]

alright, somebody help me understand cuz I am still trying to figure this out, I am trying to exchange the Mercenary SEVA Suit (100% Condition) for the SSP-99M Bodysuit but Prof. Sakharov is not showing any option to do so I only have the regular trade window to which he does not sell suits which is normal, I am currently disguised as Ecologist using the ISRIT Guard Jumpsuit (100% Condition) I have not been discovered, I have 1002 relation so what am I missing here?

I even tried changing my faction to Ecologist and there was still no option, is this a mod I need to enable or something

[near estuary]

are you sure you have the right seva suit for the trade?

[rocky jewel]

unless there is a duplicate somehow

[near estuary]

might as well spawn it with debug atp

[rocky jewel]

I am doing everything within my power to avoid using debug I don't like it, ruins it for me regardless of the reasoning

there has to be something I am missing

[near estuary]

I feel like you deserve it atp

cuz I really don't know what more the game wants

it's true that the armor exchange isn't exactly up to date 24/7

so it might have been changed at some point?

[rocky jewel]

I was just talking to somebody here a few days ago that did it and that's what gave me the idea

[junior sundial]

G36 carry handle sight on a m4a1

You love to see it

[near estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-ishowspeed-phone-speed-legendary-stream-speed-phone-gif-4108923420328591811

[rocky jewel]

I tried different factions and found the mod in the list so based on this I guess im just bugged then? I cant find anything about trader level restrictions so it couldnt be that

[near estuary]

yep, just slavjank ig

just spawn it with debug

[rocky jewel]

I refuse, back to Wastelander suit I guess.. what a colossal waste of time

[dreamy sigil]

is the free gamma people always installed the same thing as the GOG one?

[near estuary]

yes

[dreamy sigil]

nice thx

give it up for the 800000th 9x19 aug change

[peak geyser]

I mean the aug 9mm got a facelift so it deserve some buffs

[unique pendant]

40 years since the accident today! happy anniversary

[winter vapor]

Hello guys, anyone knows about "sleep healing limbs/head/torso" system? I got dmg in right arm, torso and head. But after sleeping it only heals head. I thought it will heal all the dmg from every part of the body

*I just gotten back into the game for a month and a half

[peak geyser]

happy anniversary…?

[unique pendant]

very happy yes

sunflowers and unicorns

[quick lava]

Hahaha. WTF is wrong with that hand? (this is Saiga-12)

[tame talon]

hey, I did not play for a long time now. Does ai still see and shoot through bushes?

and if there's any mods for alife that changes that behavior

What?

[loud sluice]

have the zones of getting toolkits changed at some point? (not finding advanced tools)

[cunning patio]

nuthin

[cunning patio]

stashes brother

[clever canyon]

Wanna foight?

[cunning patio]

not with you , no

[clever canyon]

Hi Ivan :)

[cunning patio]

hi miri

[loud sluice]

yes, but what maps have the high rates for adv tools?

[cunning patio]

anything north of rostok

truck cemetary is good too

wild territory CAN spawn them as well if youre willing to go through that god forsaken place

[solar chasm]

my beloved first trip out of rostok destination

[cunning patio]

once cleared its fine

but first visit is always cinema

[solar chasm]

yeah definitely can be sometimes

have definitely had 7 man merc spawns with mostly assault rifles in there

that got rushed by mutants and so started playing fuckin S&D with my ass

also 4 poltergeists

[cunning patio]

• snorks

and maybe a lurker here and there for taste

[solar chasm]

oh the snork spawns aren't bad

they typically spawn in that northwestern corner, half die to electros and the other half are trying to rush you over 30m of open ground

and are easily delt with

[humble shale]

So I did the quest for Lukash where you repel zombies at radar entrance. I've been sitting on my ass for 15 minutes already after the fact and nothing's happening. Is this bugged?

Also cant push further in coz if I go beyond a certain point I just end up in radar and the quest fails

This dude's even roaming away from the quest area @_@

[scenic trench]

mhmm
not sure if you can get into position for that one?
the quest autofails if you move too far away

[tall path]

Similar what happen with the Monolith variant for me, my fix was kinda redoing it which is far from ideal, also one time I tried going to radar and it actually completed it, maybe try that instead after looting

[humble shale]

hmm ok ok coz I've been sitting on my butt here already for 20 minutes and counting already. I'm pretty sure they're all dead atp

fml

[cunning patio]

just give up dude

its a mid mission anyway

[humble shale]

after this retry

[tall path]

rip

I guess the problem it scans for Monolith/Zombies near that area which might be near that helicopter too at times and fuck up everything

[humble shale]

yeap it really won't let me win guess I'll just loot and take the L

[cunning patio]

Sometimes a man needs to take the L in his life with honor
rather than make a fool of himself but keep his ego inflated - ancient poverb

[humble shale]

idc 'bout my ego, I care about my Roubles Brain scorcher mission drained me of my resources

[fathom sorrel]

help

[cunning patio]

theres easier ways of making money

[fathom sorrel]

shader compilation failed

what im doing wrong?

[cunning patio]

#🔨modded-gamma-support

[humble shale]

off to try and kill mutants in garbage and sell mutant parts (this might be the end of my ironman run)

[cunning patio]

dont sell man

rookie mistake

keep and use task page to see who needs parts

times more money this way

[humble shale]

500 roubles, no meds, 23 5.56 fmj, 6 buckshot, broken helmet, 35% armor

[lyric tide]

Hmmmmm

[clever terrace]

[clever terrace]

Part of the experience

[wild harbor]

is this mod worth it cause i got change some codes for it to work https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/immersive-bleeding-system

[little light]

https://tenor.com/view/eesti-estonia-viru-võru-tallinn-gif-8172556443132417131

no

imo

[wild harbor]

Damn Cause I’m trying to make my gamma game harder mechanics wise like more stuff I gotta do so I don’t die

[little light]

if you want ibs go ahead

i dont think it makes it harder

just adds more unnecessary tedium

[atomic pebble]

[unique pendant]

[tribal dock]

Wanted to play Gamma after a while, launcher broken

Sunday ruined

[peak geyser]

[tribal dock]

Gonna have to do something I never thought I'd do.
Play Vanilla Anomaly

[vocal blaze]

through a few qol mods onto vanilla

just add like fdda redone or something lol

[tall path]

launcher functions tho? it is the install portion that doesn't no?

[near estuary]

planning a challenge run once 095 drops, any recommendations?

[scenic trench]

no nato?

[near estuary]

maybe no NATO unless wooden furniture

so the M700 would still qualify cuz I feel like that is a "hunter" weapon

but I would technically lose out on the DVL

damn, depends if you mean NATO gun or NATO ammo

[scenic trench]

nato weps

[near estuary]

I guess that's doable

[scenic trench]

and
saboteur(?) was nato?
thought its wp

[near estuary]

338 is nato

[scenic trench]

the rifle, not the ammo

[near estuary]

which is why I asked if ammo or gun

[tall path]

I feel you should be able to use .338 federal rifles for sure

[near estuary]

no 338 labubu for me then
cuz all of them are nato

[near estuary]

I'll probably demote them to C kit so I get to actually use them

[tall path]

right they are all D kits aren't they?

[near estuary]

ye

no business being there imo

[scenic trench]

looking at your restr.
you're basically stuck with no automatics except smgs/pistols?

[near estuary]

basically yeah

and the one auto pistol is also banned

[scenic trench]

uhm
no...?

[tall path]

tbh yeah, I still have to use one, them being Tier D is not making it easier for me

[near estuary]

what other pistol has native full auto other than the hornet?

[near estuary]

they're kinda meh even when compared to C kit anti-mutant guns
and once you get into D kit, you get shit like the KS-12 and Vector which can melt giants in seconds

[scenic trench]

shouldve specified native 😜

[near estuary]

I shall ban modifying pistol to be automatic then too

[tall path]

last real runs I mostly used KS-23 for mutant killing which is more than good enough for me, maybe the only problem are giants and far away controllers

[near estuary]

do y'all think 1911's wooden grips qualify as wooden furniture?

[elder saffron]

guys anyone knows bout some good mods for gamma?

[near estuary]

#╟🔰☢newbies-chat message

[elder saffron]

noone be answering 👉 👈

[near estuary]

it's a message link

cuz people ask this somewhat often

[sick acorn]

why is gamma support off?

anybody knows

[sick acorn]

ah

didnt scroll up

[near estuary]

something bricked the installation

[sick acorn]

thanks

[near estuary]

[sick acorn]

yes i was wondering why im falining to install

okay okay

[elder saffron]

aight ima try the lootboxes mod

btw quick question - just enabled magazines and the lootboxes - is it safe to continue my sin run?

[near estuary]

should be

just keep in mind that DISABLING mags will brick your save

iirc, there was some safe way to uninstall mags but I used the addon in like 2023

[elder saffron]

oh well

anyways seems to be working fine

what do the lootboxes got for sin btw

i cant buy magazines right fahh

[near estuary]

lootboxes spawn in stashes

you can open them with lockpicks for loot

or just sell them

[elder saffron]

i read about them containing different stuff for different factions

like guns for mercs

[near estuary]

depends on the case, really

[elder saffron]

oh so the case is assigned a faction?

[wicked hull]

Typically like a faction specific armor

[near estuary]

Pelican rifle case (which has a merc symbol) usually gives good rifles

[elder saffron]

oh coool

[near estuary]

uhhh not really

[tall path]

depends on the lootbox you find, the faction you are doesn't matter

[wicked hull]

Mono cases have all kinds of things, but you need the special keys

[elder saffron]

aight ty

[tribal dock]

Launcher worked, installed the modlist, but noticed I was missing like... 50 mods or something? And yeah, doesn't boot into Anomaly.

[elder saffron]

with magazines enabled how do i check current ammo in the mag?

[tribal dock]

I could, but I figured to just go in pure vanilla.

[tribal dock]

Should be F/R with shift? You can check in MCM

[elder saffron]

Yeah nothing in mag section there

Ima check rq

In a transition zone atm

Yeah its F ty

[sick acorn]

quick question guys, does anybody use arzis radiation overhaul? does it work

cant really find any info on this discord and if some its not really comprehansible

[buoyant mountain]

Is there no way Grok could reconsider portraying Duty or Clear Sky as allies instead of enemies in the new update?

[vestal bluff]

hmm

[elder saffron]

yea long story short the npc walked into this car...

at least its not stuck anymore

[vestal bluff]

Would yall take a mono exo over merc pathfinder?

[mild wing]

exo if you have the money to keep it powered

[near estuary]

no

the only exo I'd even consider over the merc pathfinder (arguably best non-exo in GAMMA) would be Vyraj, UNISG Nosorog or one of the 7 slotter protoexos if you're feeling funny

normal exos in 0.9.4 just aren't really worth it

[pallid tangle]

how much money are we talking about? per day or week?

[mild wing]

you pay 14-16k for a single battery, the rest all depends

on how much you're planning to use it, what PSU you have etc

[pallid tangle]

I've looted maybe 10 batteries, and the UNISG Nosorog. just need the recipe. thanks I'll keep looking for the recipe

[bright verge]

wait the gamma update is today??

[sick yoke]

No

It’s a launcher update

[bright verge]

Oh oops

[sick yoke]

Mobile discord as always being ass

[glossy kettle]

in preperation for update coming soon, im trying to figure out what faction to play 🤔 have played loner, duty, freedom, sin, mercs, and renegades

[placid root]

try the CS changes?

[broken sundial]

returning to gamma after a like a year break, updated everything. I had little tweaks on top of tweaks on top of mods, now the end of my list is such a mess lol i don't remember anything, gave up and playing vanilla gamma for now.

[little light]

first time ive seen a cbt role

[broken sundial]

doesn't mean much, just happen to play early

[prime agate]

so uh. hypothetically what happens if i need to talk to olivius for a task but he's dead

it wasn't my fault. i tried to talk to him in disguise but the entire camp alerted and i didn't want to throw away the ironman run

oh actually it's fine i can still talk to him, he's just standing here punching me while we talk about the task

[tall jolt]

Anyone know a way to stop campfire map icons from blocking fast travel without just turning them off?

[tall jolt]

If your rep is -1000 or below disguise won’t work

[prime agate]

sultan was just chilling with 2 bloodsuckers feeding on him too

[prime agate]

It's fine it all worked out in the end

[tall jolt]

Lol, yeah it might’ve been the fact you had your gun up

[prime agate]

no it's because i have -3000 rep with them

[daring sorrel]

atleast he kept his merchant professionalism while beating the hell out of you

[wintry jackal]

How in gods name did you managed to get your rep with the bandits this low

[daring sorrel]

probably raiding the bandit base repeatedly

[prime agate]

well they saw through my disguise and im playing ironman so i'm not gonna just let myself go down

so i cleared the bandit base

[wintry jackal]

😭

[prime agate]

no i only cleared it one time

i didn't even kill half of them, they got killed by 2 bloodsuckers while i was killing the other half

[daring sorrel]

my guy i raided the base 6 times and i only have -800 rep wtf

[prime agate]

i mean.. we haven't exactly been friends for the entirety of this playthrough

maybe the rep goes down quicker if you're supposed to be allies? i have no idea

[granite cave]

is it alright to update right now or no?

[clever canyon]

No need

0.95 isn´t even out

[granite cave]

alrighty wasn't sure since i updated the launcher

[clever canyon]

Updating because of moddb status is not recommended

[sharp jungle]

Which of the og trilogy should I buy/play first? ive lowkey not played any of em

[blissful ivy]

SoC

shadow of chernobyl is best

also neat trick

play radiophobia instead

its the SoC story

with some extra content

and much more refined gunplay

you dont need the base game either

[tall jolt]

Yeah just play them in order

[blissful ivy]

CS is one of the games of all time

not really needed either

its whole story can be explained in a 40-60 minute video

[tall jolt]

I liked it

[blissful ivy]

actually 40-60 is a lie

you could do it in 20

also CS is godawful to play

[tall jolt]

Just play enhanced and save yourself a headache

[blissful ivy]

the actual gameplay is just terrible (i mean base SoC isnt much better)

[blissful ivy]

also no dont do that

neither are good

the enhanced is just a polished piece of shit

same as old, just new coat of paint

[tall jolt]

Then i’m afraid i just gotta disagree

I likeded it. It workded gud.

[blissful ivy]

i dont really care, im just saying CS is certainly not good enough to be worth playing

the story is also super lackluster

[tall jolt]

And i say the opposite

[blissful ivy]

literally just "merc pass out in emission, hidden people save merc, merc immune to emission but it kill him, merc need stop strelok" if you really dumb it down

[tall jolt]

You can do the same thing with soc

[blissful ivy]

i suppose, but its still more interesting narrative wise

[tall jolt]

||Man wake up, man need kill strelok, man is strelok, man find shiny rock or maybe shoot funny tubes||

[blissful ivy]

SoC and CoP are much more important

[blissful ivy]

thats still better writing than scar

dont get me wrong, i played CS

i didnt get filtered by vova vist or anything

[tall jolt]

Cop was my least favourite. It was definitely the most mechanically thought out but i found the story to be a little rushed if anything. Mainly because it was just really really short but also because it was very go here do this thing happen? Wow

[blissful ivy]

i just dont think its as good as the first or last entry

(also cs has no mods to make it bearable to play)

[tall jolt]

Oh i never touched mods for the originals

[blissful ivy]

dude you say that as if the other games werent that

SoC was literally "get this to guy, guy tells you get this for him, guy sends you to next guy" and so on

until you make it to the end

[tall jolt]

Yeah but there was a shit ton of lore dumping on the way

[blissful ivy]

same with CoP

if you paid attention and did side quests

there was quite a lot told to the player

[tall jolt]

Cop was a couple documents and the side content was nothing too comparable in my eyes

[blissful ivy]

SoC side content was slop

CoP side content had effect on the area

and it was unique

[tall jolt]

Did it?

[blissful ivy]

yes to some extent some quests did

food for mercs does iirc

the chimera hunt too

[tall jolt]

Oh i guess

[blissful ivy]

and one or two others

[tall jolt]

I never noticed it much

[blissful ivy]

theres a certain quest that upon completion, harder mutants start spawning

which was interesting

SoC was a test run imo, GSC was figuring it out

CS was a start towards complex mechanics and stuff

(and too much bleeding)

CoP was their best work

[tall jolt]

I liked soc because it was the first and it did so much cool shit in such a cool way. I liked cs because it was just soc but with more stuff in my eyes. But then with cop, like i said it was very short. Not bad but just didn’t do much imo

[blissful ivy]

CoP easily took me the longest

[tall jolt]

Mechanically i’d agree

Really?

[blissful ivy]

because i was more caught up in the areas, and the quests

[tall jolt]

It took me like 12 hours

[blissful ivy]

SoC? i turned down most quests

[tall jolt]

Oh

[blissful ivy]

because theyre just fetch quests

literally

just fetch this for me

no story

nothing special

its just "yeah nah mate get this leather jacket for me and i pay money"

[tall jolt]

The story comes from the exploration for me but everyone’s different

[blissful ivy]

stalker games dont do environmental story telling

not really

so that makes no sense

the best you get is labs

those have a small amount

but the open world doesnt do any of that

[tall jolt]

Okay

Guess i’m just schizophrenic

[blissful ivy]

possibly?

idk

i just dont gather much of anything from areas besides labs

"Oh look, some stalker died here"

thats basically all i get

[wintry jackal]

So much monolith in zaton

[mild pollen]

Kill em all

[rain nova]

free loot

well, not really free

you're paying in bullets

but it's still loot

[mild pollen]

Pray for mono blade

[wintry jackal]

my faction in question

[rain nova]

damn

then uh... mission accomplished...?

Zaton is yours

[wintry jackal]

True

[vocal mist]

will there be an upgrade path from 9.4 to 9.5 that preserves existing saves, mods, and settings or am I just dreaming?

[ivory wing]

i finally finished my shelter after loosing my mind for 5 h

[fervent wedge]

Very unlikely.

[winter sierra]

when you hear a pack of cats hidden in the grass nearby and genuinely wish you were back in the mirage quest because it's probably more fun

[outer fox]

hey guys! i remember seeing some announcement that a big new version is coming out early May is that correct?

[muted estuary]

how did you make so much money.only tasks i got from pripyat were fetching ones

[wintry jackal]

i just increased the task money reward a shitton

[muted estuary]

where do i increase it

progression?

[wintry jackal]

yes

[blissful ivy]

First gamma user to ever read

Yes youre correct

[outer fox]

kek thank you sir

[fervent wedge]

Too bad we can't get an early release so we can distribute the files.

A ton of people downloading the first day might suck.

[frank oxide]

day one download is often discouraged due to branch merge issues or other

Today’s launcher updates were caused by sudden backend issues

Shit happens

Even if it seems like all is well

[fervent wedge]

Anything pulled from GitHub will be fine, but it's the other sources I wonder about. I don't know how much ModDB is going to hate that if they're hosting a lot of the mods used.

Pushing the ModDB subset of mods off to torrent because most of them will be correctly versioned makes sense.

Future versioning requires rebuilding the whole torrent though

[keen bronze]

And that's also why we're against about having a torrent

[fervent wedge]

Why exactly?

[keen bronze]

Literally this

[fervent wedge]

It doesn't really matter.

You're doing 90%+ of the work with an old torrent.

You're just keeping the good versions and then only doing 10% of that work against ModDb to pull the correct versions

So 90% less traffic to moddb

[frank oxide]

People still downloading 3.8 launchers to get gamma kinda shows that torrents in the long run may just end up being a backwards process for some

Torrent of gamma would also not include any addons from moddb or github, just the launcher files

So you’d still download the mods like usual

[fervent wedge]

Oh..

[frank oxide]

Why? Because Grok doesn’t own them
People also don’t want to be part of repacks

[fervent wedge]

I see...

So ModDB is the ONLY place they're allowed to be pulled from

[frank oxide]

there are modpacks that don’t care and repack shit just to do it

But well GAMMA ain’t one of those, one to appeal to modders and two because then updating anything requires redownloading the entire pack

[fervent wedge]

While I'm on the subject, I fucking hate Nexusmods

Why re download the whole pack? You only need to dif the mods that are changed here

[errant nebula]

hello, who can I ask to pin a message in mod posting?

[frank oxide]

Unless ofc Grok goes back on whatever he established in 2021 2022 2023 and just goes „ye fuck it”

[fervent wedge]

Grok holds the project to a higher standard than every AI company on earth right now basically.

[frank oxide]

I meant the packs without installers

If EFP gets an update you can’t just flip a switch for „update my mods”
You need to redownload 16GB, then extract it

[frank oxide]

Well.. me

give a link or sumn, i don’t see the mod on the top of #1035807043933720576

[fervent wedge]

Oh ok. That's just poor design then.

[frank oxide]

I think usually people just get a list of mods then download them manually

[errant nebula]

#1042368127834542131 message

thanks!

[fervent wedge]

Manual downloading mods for games sucks now because you're trusting someone did the work of figuring out compatibility etc.

Thus modpacks being better

Nexus has the whole "Collections" thing, but then they want to charge you to download if you don't want to manually click 500+ times.

[radiant sage]

They need to make money for hosting somehow, still don't 100% condone it but yeah

On top of developing software themselves too

[frank oxide]

GOG is actually a decent alternative with people repacking it too

Not that we allow said repacks but well… i know that support channels had people downloading them

In some way it works kinda worse because you get a snapshot of the first update release, then no updates until next major release but you also have the included launcher

Issue is - if the launcher gets updated mid patch i don’t think GOG would lift a finger to correct it

They also don’t include proper instructions on install folder, so launcher is unusable if its in program files

[raven python]

guys where is the dropped pda from the stalker in limansk for mortal sin quest?

[frank oxide]

Next to the apartment, bench or tree

[raven python]

really cant find it

[frank oxide]

The last point and often the short fuse regarding patience from players makes them redownload the entire 70GB package to fix a simple issue

The torrent news on gamma sounded kinda bad from how i understood it, because it read as if torrent was the primary way to get the files as its cheaper and faster

What if i don’t want to download it like that? Ig the answer is… too bad or use GOG

[gaunt galleon]

Hey bud
Gonna have to ask you to change your banner

[hollow wadi]

Wdym surprised

Oop, they got banned

Oh well

[frank oxide]

Because everyone said „uhh i mean that’s not even the worst thing we seen”

They were uber femboy posting disguised as stalker memes anyway

Whatever

[hollow wadi]

I didn't actually see the banner until it was actually-actually reported, and I said "I'll tell 'em to change if I see 'em"

Which I did, and that was all I sorta promised
Didn't ask anybody else to do it for me

[blissful rampart]

0.9.5 gamma now weights 130

[bold silo]

Fuck.

Day by day, I hate data centers even more

[blissful rampart]

you could delete downloads folder afterwards if the game works. to free up to 28 gb

[bold silo]

Noted. Thanks

[blissful rampart]

but with every update through launcher, they'll redownload

[livid plover]

anyone ever have issues with limbs getting auto healed when sleeping or loading to a new area?

[bold silo]

Oh yeah that git download thing

[blissful rampart]

yeah, git and moddb

[bold silo]

It was for broken mod or smth right

[blissful rampart]

the way the laucnher works is 1st, it downloads addons from moddb + github into downloads folder, 2nd it extracts addon archives from downloads folder into mods folder

it automatically deletes addon archive from downloads if it's broken or misssing, and if it's there - it just skips

[little light]

thats smaller than 094 then?

[blissful rampart]

how mucch is 094?

[little light]

when i re installed it was around 150ish

around 3 weeks ago iirc

[blissful rampart]

can't be that bad

[little light]

[blissful rampart]

well it's definitely less in 095 then

[little light]

hopefully lmao

[blissful rampart]

not gonna sugarcoat it

[little light]

mine rn is 101gb cause i deleted the downloads folder

[hollow wadi]

Standard 0.9.4 is 123

[blissful rampart]

ദ്ദി ( ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ )

[hollow wadi]

The launcher doesn't really delete broken archives
I've had plenty of incomplete archives named somethingsomething.meta

[blissful rampart]

you get my point

[hollow wadi]

Every time I update !downloads I have to fully re-download the entire modlist with a clean download folder to ensure I've got no duplicate/old versions

[blissful rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/bruh-gif-20380596

[slender knot]

Why is mine more than 200GB

Oh wait I add additional mods

[mild wing]

0.9.5 delayed, more time for black road

[rain nova]

more time for me to finish my 0.9.4 run because I've been progressing at a snail's pace

[lament lynx]

[blissful rampart]

noone was forcing you to update before finishing your run

[mental furnace]

&

[rain nova]

I would be

[analog palm]

is armor update supposed to be in 9.5?

[blissful rampart]

yes

[analog palm]

damn

[blissful rampart]

and from what grok said in #🔨base-gamma-support , 095 was postponed for 1 weeek

[analog palm]

damn

better organize my custom mods

[fervent wedge]

Wait, I'm reading that moddb is blocking downloads?

[limber osprey]

gonna be playing some more gamma in a bit... if i get zero exoskeletons or nosorogs im going to go mad, its shit enough that i dropped basic tools from outskirts

[fervent wedge]

Do I have that accurate?

[limber osprey]

oh damn rip moddb what did they fuck up so bad

[tribal dock]

Man, I was so excited for that when my friend told me about the new stuff

A shame. I assume installing Gamma now with the download file is a no go either?

[rain nova]

that's the rarest basic tools you'll ever have (hopefully)

[blissful rampart]

it's hard nearly impossible to install rn, something is off with launcher

[limber osprey]

yep seems like that

[fervent wedge]

Basically, it seems like moddb patched some method he was using for download. Based on his response

[rain nova]

horrific idea for a challenge: collect basic tools from every map that can spawn them

[blissful rampart]

yeah for the 67th time

[limber osprey]

man my luck is like that. even after full monolith control room wipe (we are talking 50+ master+ ranked enemies) i cannot drop even any decent armor other than what i already had lol

[blissful rampart]

not to flex but updating my 095 to check how uzi's look xd

[fervent wedge]

Okay so. We're at... ~550 mods right?

[tribal dock]

A shame. Been craving the GAMMA lately. Luck is rotten

[tribal dock]

Yes

[fervent wedge]

How many mods are over 200mb?

[rain nova]

#📍577-mods-in-mo2

[blissful rampart]

#📍установка
#install-no-worky

[fervent wedge]

I can data migrate the entire moddb to catbox I think... As a "mirror"

IIRC I need to use something like a headless Chrome browser to do it. Very VibeCode -able.

[blissful rampart]

i think it'll be much easier to make torrent like they did a while ago

[fervent wedge]

Yeah, torrent is definitely a thing temporarily.

[mighty viper]

or just wait a week or two

[haughty saffron]

I cry

[fervent wedge]

I'm just trying to help bud. That's all.

[mighty viper]

starting now is dumb anyway: new big patch requiring a new save is around the corner

I could just shove everything in an archive and throw it over a seedbox with a torrent

[haughty saffron]

New ironman run incoming

[mighty viper]

but it's not viable in the long run

and people starting new will have to start over in a few days

[fervent wedge]

Yeah, you have certain... Policies or beliefs regarding the way other people's content is distributed though correct?

[mighty viper]

Just play something else for the moment

[mental furnace]

[mighty viper]

Yes, that's why I made the launcher and all of that, to not redistribute other people's work

[haughty saffron]

Hopefully 1 week Is enough for fix

[mighty viper]

should be

hopefully next monday we will have the v8.5 launcher that will work

[haughty saffron]

🫡

[mighty viper]

and then the 0.9.5 patch will be released on Friday or earlier if the launcher works well

[blissful rampart]

[haughty saffron]

Took It as a challenge lol

[mental furnace]

[mighty viper]

for some it seems to work, for a lot it doesn't, and tbh I'm not ready to kill the helpers with tons of unfixable issues because the method is not good enough / future proof

[fervent wedge]

Grok why you gotta burden yourself with this shit. Let us help. Some of us actually know what the fuck we're doing and didn't eat tide pods as children.

[haughty saffron]

People were saying that Linux does not suffer these problems btw i wonder if It applies to this aswell

Linux Just Better lol

[mighty viper]

Yes I know. But I also know exactly why these issues are happening and how to make it so it's not a problem anymore, it just needs some time to be implemented

[fervent wedge]

Alllright.

Is moddb actively blocking the hotlinking?

[young field]

wait so, what's wrong exactly? i checked back on ts after like a year of not playing gamma to see it's being fucked sideways xd

[clever canyon]

Thank you for thinking about us

[mighty viper]

Moddb is fighting botting however they can, which is understandable. GAMMA Launcher got caught in the net. ModDB is not actively against GAMMA, they already stated it, on the contrary

Blame the people scrapping the moddb front end for mods information, or scraping the comments sections with watchdogs etc

[young field]

i was gonna ask if inverno gave better performance but now i dont even know if ill be able to install gamma in the first place

[clever canyon]

You won’t

[young field]

i know

[haughty saffron]

Doubt it

[mighty viper]

I mean you can give the 8.4 launcher a shot

[haughty saffron]

The update Will tho!

I think

[young field]

time will tell

[mighty viper]

But since it's unreliable and a new save required patch is around the corner, I don't want helpers to suffer just for people to be frustrated about a difficult installation with the need to start their save over in 2 weeks

[clever canyon]

So it’s currently just unreliable and not completely broken?

Ahh ok

[mighty viper]

It seems to work for some, and not for a lot of people

[clever canyon]

Gotcha

Just woke up, not caught up yet

[mighty viper]

Anyway, it could be unavailable at all for anyone in 2 days time or even less

[clever canyon]

Well now I am

[haughty saffron]

I think what happens Is they can shoot down the installation cause It looks botted. It Is not a certainty to happen It Is dependant on many factors

[fervent wedge]

Moddb mad at people scraping. Gamma caught in the crossfire. Moddb causing unintended issues for Gamma. Pin it.

lol..

[mighty viper]

No because I don't want people to raise their pitchforks against moddb

[fervent wedge]

I get it.

Explictly state NOT MODDBs FAULT. WE ❤️ THEM

[fervent wedge]

Can I ask why the save gets invalidated in only 2 weeks though? Wtf is that about?

[mint copper]

the new gamma version 🤦‍♂️

[mighty viper]

0.9.5 update

[clever canyon]

New update will kill old saves

[fervent wedge]

Oh.. I thought ... Nevermind.

I thought 2 weeks AFTER 0.9.5

[mighty viper]

No no

[mint copper]

no its a new feature that breaks your save after 2 weeks on purpose

[fervent wedge]

I was like... Why release 0.9.5 if we're going to get invalidated 2 weeks later.

[haughty saffron]

I doubt saves Will be able to transfer to 0.9.5

[mint copper]

to make you experience hobo phase again

[mighty viper]

8.5 launcher on next monday / tuesday probably
0.9.5 update on 8th of may

[devout lantern]

Ironman speed runner moment

[fervent wedge]

Don't trip Grok. We know you try your best. You're busy. Etc.

[mighty viper]

It's a gamble

some saves my work, others will get an instant crash

[devout lantern]

I haven’t had issues with gamma crashing in ages

[fervent wedge]

Some of us like you. Some don't. Everyone gets an asshole and an opinion.
🤣

[mighty viper]

this depends on upgraded weapons, mods added, etc

[mighty viper]

Couldn't test it first hand yet so I cannot really say if it's the ultimate solution to our problems

[frank oxide]

it worked for anyone who wanted to use #1445642460779909211 and was forced to start a new game
so it might work on upgrade trees and other

[haughty saffron]

Was It tested already how big of a difference multithreading makes?

I am quite curious about that

[mint copper]

10.000% more fps

[haughty saffron]

Lol

Its not really about more fps. Its less stutters and less spikes

[fervent wedge]

Depends on how CPU bound shit gets I'd guess. You probably experience MUCH better FPS 1% lows or whatever

[haughty saffron]

I would Hope so, thats the real important stat

[fervent wedge]

Exactly. If the game is smooth at 60fps and drops to 20fps, it feels worse than going from 60 to 55 or something.

Even if that 20fps drop is for a smaller fraction of time.

[haughty saffron]

Way worse, large groups of enemies in combat are currently absolutely tanking fps

I go from 120 to 50

Not sure how much multithreading helps that tho, we'll see

[limber osprey]

welp time to wonder which location should i pull a genocide on which has high concentration of nosorog/exoskeleton enemies

oh right i haven't checked generators yet, thats my next goal i guess

[dawn marten]

@worn tartan
If you're experiencing crashes after updating G.A.M.M.A. from version 0.9.3.1 to 0.9.4, open MO2, locate and enable this mod:
Pre-0.9.4 Saves Fix, inside the Alternative Addons & Patches category.
If you don't have REDONE mods, this "fix" is only a temporary solution. Starting a new game is highly recommended.
If you have, keep this enabled, it is required for REDONE in GAMMA

[limber osprey]

bruh... i done enough quests for duty to buy exoskeleton... even though i wiped many locations off monolith and mercs i have not dropped a single one. like 250+ kills with 100+ being master/legend rank enemies...;l

[surreal plinth]

Was the mod that allow you to build 400kg stashes?

Is it still in gamma

[frank oxide]

hideout furnitures and various expansions to it, yes its still in gamma

[tall path]

the biggest stash object is 700 kg

[worn tartan]

i haven't updated it yet though

[opal fog]

Is this site bullshit, or do chimeras genuinely not have any headshot bonus whatsoever?

My life is a lie?

Ive been aiming for the head for no reason this whole time?

[frank oxide]

Its based off of veerserif’s calculator which was wonky against mutants

I’m positive that the head and eyes do have a increased damage modifier

[opal fog]

Figured so

[sick yoke]

doesn't veer's calc site explicitly say that mutant calcs are bugged on it

[near estuary]

right at the bottom

which is like, fair ig?

but it's also not a great move

I know that people should "read"

problem with that is, literally nobody will scroll down there when they use a damage calculator

a simple line of "Mutant calculations may be incorrect" placed somewhere here would prevent a lot of newbies taking the false mutant damage numbers as gospel

[sick yoke]

Yeah I just think it’s a bit goofy that whoever made the site just took veer’s calc despite it saying “yeah it’s bugged”

[dire glade]

[dire glade]

iirc headshot does double damage to mutants

Based on data from cheekito numbers mod

[near estuary]

that really depends on the mutant tho

[sick yoke]

Depends on mutant

[near estuary]

boars actually have a damage reduction on headshots iirc

[sick yoke]

For obvious example, boars

[nocturne nova]

bro I was about to start the 2 week gamma phase and I can't install the game now lol

yeah I was planning to start my duty challenge run this friday evening
even planned to buy some white monsters for the occasion

I guess I'll just cry myself to sleep as always instead

Boars and flesh is a 1.5 multiplier to the butt i think

does dx10 support 3d scopes or it's just a dx11 thing?

dx10 basically doesn't work with GAMMA

use either 11 for good graphics or 8/9 for max performance

[astral apex]

yeah my bad, I thought the entrance was inside the house throught the elevator and it was actually outside the wall in a mine shaft

[opal fog]

Yeah

[worthy tapir]

which one as a long range option?

[opal fog]

2 totally different guns that do totally different things

[worthy tapir]

disagree, they both do pew pew

[opal fog]

SVD kills human enemies, Deer hunter does a fuckton of damage to mutants but has less than 10 pen so will do literally nothing to human enemies if theyre wearing anything more armored than a leather jacket

[opal fog]

Cant argue with that

id go deer hunter cause its cool and oneshotting burers from afar is funny

[worthy tapir]

now you're speaking my language

[dusk vessel]

not just 10 pen but it has like 96% damage reduction on non pen

while with other calibres even on nonpen you can do okay damage

its why spamming a lot of weak bullets works well

[opal fog]

Yeah its made not to do shit against human enemies

[dusk vessel]

ye

while svd is bacially useless vs mutants

stalker gun

[opal fog]

Is that tied to the ammo or

[dusk vessel]

yeah

[opal fog]

Figured

Didnt know each ammo has a different dmg reduction on nonpen

[dusk vessel]

most have 0%

or default

its just few ammos that have a modifier there

[opal fog]

Most have 0 reduction? Wouldnt that mean every nonpen still does full damage?

[dusk vessel]

no

it does the default non pen damage

which is some but not a lot

[opal fog]

Oh its like another multiplier on top of that

[dusk vessel]

they just gave .338 federal a very steep non pen penalty

compared to other ammos

[opal fog]

I mean yeah kinda obvious why

if it didnt have one it would still fuck up stalkers just because 600dmg is still a lot even when reduced

[dusk vessel]

possibly

especially on headshot

dont really know unless tested, they probably tested it and had to put the non pen penatly

which exposes the flaw with gamma pen to begin with but whatever

[opal fog]

Deer hunter is fun

[dusk vessel]

nice for picking off strong mutants without taking risk

[opal fog]

P much yeah

I just think its funny to oneshot burers

[dusk vessel]

its too specific to be worth carrying around

just for the gimmick

[opal fog]

Definetly not meta, just a fun gimmick

[dusk vessel]

which is what its supposed to be i think anyway

[worthy tapir]

deer hunter is out, next question: SVD or Vykhlop

[dusk vessel]

svd

vyk is kinda ass

[opal fog]

svd is just better but you can use vykhlop for the funny if you want cause funny

[dusk vessel]

its bolt action and slow velocity

^

if you ask whats better, its easily the svd

[opal fog]

yeah

[dusk vessel]

but the vyk is more funny

[opal fog]

i think the vssk should get a damage buff so it can atleast oneshot bodyshot regular stalkers to the chest, thatd make it actually useful and different from all the other c kit boltys instead of downright worse

well okay maybe it would just be better than all of them overnight

kinda difficult to balance that piece of shit gun

[dusk vessel]

i mean it is a 50 cal bullet

just, very slow

50bmg has like twice the case length

[opal fog]

yeah im well aware of what the vssk is

hilariously heavy 1000 grain subsonic 50cal

Not the same as 50bmg

Vanilla anomaly has an m82 .50 barret, wonder if thatll ever make it into gamma

[dusk vessel]

i highly doubt it

.338 laupa already fills that spot

and would just make the gauss even more irrlevant than it already is

[opal fog]

Ok but semi automatic onetapper

[opal fog]

Fair

eh i like to use the gauss tbh
Until i run out of ammo that is

wouldnt say its irrelevant, its pretty strong

Until you run out of ammo

[dusk vessel]

1170 grain bullet on the 12.7x55 is crazy

[opal fog]

Yeah, they kinda had to

e=mc2 and all
When you wanna make a sneaky gun you gotta make it subsonic and if you want subsonic and powerful the only thing you can increase is weight to get more energy

[dusk vessel]

should mabye increase the pen of those rounds

they dont move very fast but they can punch through armour

[worthy tapir]

question number 3: SVD vs SVDS

[opal fog]

Tbh you dont beat armor with weight anyway, more with speed and a dart penetrator

[dusk vessel]

svds

[worthy tapir]

im literally looting those weapons rn so im tryna pick the best choice bc carry weight

[dusk vessel]

especially the retribution variant

[opal fog]

svds is better

[dusk vessel]

svd is from the 1960s

the svds is the modernized variant

[opal fog]

But you can also go svd if you want to larp with the fancy wooden furniture

[dusk vessel]

theyre only slightly different iirc

svds should be lighter

[opal fog]

P sure the svds has way more firerate

[dusk vessel]

ah yeah

[opal fog]

The regular wooden svd in gamma has dogshit firerate afaik

[dusk vessel]

thats a remnant of the og stalker games

where it has the fire rate of a bolt action

[opal fog]

While the svds can be spammed

[dusk vessel]

svd in general can fire as fast as it will cycle

so like, up to 700 rpm should be possible

they did this well in stalker 2

[worthy tapir]

yeah svd is 100rpm while svds is 400rpm, also svd is 5,41kg and svds is 4,4kg

[dusk vessel]

you can magdump it if you click fast enough

[opal fog]

700RPM SVD is crazy Lmao

Welcome back, AVT-40

[dusk vessel]

its possible

you can fire it as fast as it will cycle, which is pretty damn fast

[opal fog]

Yeah, it slaps in dayz, its spammable over there

[dusk vessel]

not what its for but its intresting

its a dmr that got forced into the sniper role

[opal fog]

I mean it gets the job done

[worthy tapir]

the character said cheeki breeki when equipping the svds, i think i found the one

[opal fog]

Lmao

[opal fog]

Arent bolties kind of outdated nowadays anyway? Is there even any reason to use them over a semi auto?

[dusk vessel]

accuracy

[opal fog]

Precision maybe? I thought that was just a videogame balancing thing though

[dusk vessel]

for super long distance shooting bolt actions are still used today

like M24

[dusk vessel]

nah

reliability too

[opal fog]

Does the cycling of the firearm mess up your shot or something

[dusk vessel]

bolt action is like, the most reliable system possible

[opal fog]

Yeah i guess bolties are cheaper and more reliable

[dusk vessel]

i dont really know the details myself but bolt actions tend to have lower moa
