You need to start MotZ before you start the Military quest

But there's still a way to retrieve the documents
Just keep progressing both until you're done with the Military quest, kill John Military to retrieve the documents given

[analog palm]

wasnt that

just

installed a newer version of sss

now to get a less horrible terrain texture

[analog palm]

trainee my ass

[frigid pilot]

Wait is there issues right now with the launcher. Because i was just coming back to playing Gamma Again

After like a year

or 2

[little light]

ye

been like this for like a day?

[frigid pilot]

Damn

No worries

I will wait

[little light]

[frigid pilot]

Because i also wanted to try it on Linux

[little light]

i heard linux is fine

try asking on the thread

[frigid pilot]

yeah i know there is a guide

[frigid pilot]

oh sure

i will go ask there

i used to talk in there

Thank you

[loud sluice]

Which should I build my stash in, rostok, zaton or jupiter?

[worldly stream]

whats the curent launcher version?
is 8.3 still the latest?

[little light]

after brain scorcher, ehh probably jupiter

[little light]

currently 8.4, but dont update for now id say

not until theres a #📢announcements of it not bonking yo shit

[keen swift]

I spawned "main_story_1_quest_case" and it did update the mystery of the zone objective. Again though I'd seen some claims that it could completely fuck up the game cheating for quests like this.

[loud sluice]

What do you guys think, can I sneak to the brain scorcher by wearing a sin patch? or will the monolith see through it?

[keen swift]

Is this the wrong place to be posting this really? Probably GAMMA support right?

[celest sparrow]

Only in certain cases when that quest item is tied to several other triggers

But spawning in the missing documents won't have anything bad happen

[keen swift]

Alright thanks, hopefully it should work fine.

I didn't kill the doctor for this, just cheated his notes and key.

I know there's a mod that adds dialogue or whatever to start it.

[spark anvil]

I remember not being able to disguise as sin or monolith

Havent been on my pc for a long while now so dunno if thats true or not

[solar chasm]

...powerline adapters die rather violently apparently

[opal fog]

Another merc lost signal in truck cemetery.... gamblecore

https://giphy.com/gifs/gambling-xg1ryQuI8BcYbQVXcg

Hold on... isnt that the merc woodland?

It did infact, not drop 😭

Yeah, thats the one, unless the model doesnt match the actual armor and DUX character kit is trolling me

Didnt even drop

Killing myself in 3..2..1..

Guess i need to go get scavenging lvl 17 before i keep doing this shit

[worldly stream]

ah ok good

[rare bridge]

which of these is worth repairing? just got an advanced kit. Left to right its an Fenced PS5-M bandit, PS5-9md Duty, PS6-v Duty, UNISIG SEVA and a load bearing twilight suit Merc

[keen swift]

Well I'd disassemble one of your PS5-9md's since you got two for starters.

[opal fog]

unisg seva is probably the best one out of all of those, but i like the duty armored suit aswell it has quite high ballistic resistance but not many slots or much else

[opal fog]

How much scavenging lvl do i need for exosuits to never dissapear? Im at lvl12 rn. I guess i just got unlucky on the 25% heavy armor drop chance

[rare bridge]

yeah i noticed too

[keen swift]

Yeah I'd be partial to the middle one for ballistic resistance and also just style points personally tbh.

[rare bridge]

looks like the SEVA or Light Pathfinder are the best

theyre almost the same only the PS5-9md has SOME HOW 50% BURN RESISTANCE

yeah im going with the SEVA

[opal fog]

Is that it? This guy is so about to die. Has the right camo pattern atleast

Fuck. Idk where that merc with the barret went. Knew i should have killed him then and there, bro knew what was coming and went into hiding

[quiet wasp]

Is there a way to edit recoil stats on individual guns?

[opal fog]

Oh hell yeah. Aint this like top 5 best medium armors?

[opal fog]

You can, but it would be futile. Thats just camera climb. Most of the felt recoil from a gun in gamma is just the firing animation of the gun, made by the animator. Youd have to edit the animation file somehow or create your own

On top of that recoil is also randomized

[quiet wasp]

Ah so the screen shake is the animation?

[opal fog]

Pretty much yeah i think so

[quiet wasp]

I’m thinking that 5.56 and 5.45 guns have far too much recoil, some are on par with 7.62x39

[opal fog]

Some guns like the aek-971 barely have any recoil cause the animator for it said so

Well it makes sense, that gun was specifically designed with a recoil balancing system

Fn f2000 competitor also has like zero shake just straight vertical climb which can be reduced with recoil upgrades

[quiet wasp]

Fairly so, the gun was designed that way from what I know

[opal fog]

Yeah

The high tier tacticool rare guns tend to have lower recoil i think

I know most of the 9x39 guns have basically no recoil whatsoever

[quiet wasp]

Yeah those are really good

[opal fog]

Yeah it just be like that

[ripe lagoon]

grok_bo_enhanced_recoil.ltx

[quiet wasp]

Frankly the the rest of assault rifles that are early to mid game even though viable irl and very controllable have too much recoil to be anything, you cannot rapid fire them which means they are practically useless?

[quiet wasp]

Thanks

[quiet wasp]

Or is it just me

Because I am a frugal ammo/loot goblin and hate spending too much on anything

[opal fog]

I just tapfire at range and auto at close

[quiet wasp]

Me too

Not exactly realistic as auto is still viable at range, but I guess I’ll have to give reduction a try myself

[opal fog]

Nothing about this game is realistic lmao

If you came here expecting realism...

Yeah, you can try to change it, i just wouldnt know how

[quiet wasp]

At least I’d want to have a certain sense of realism balanced with gameplay elements, which is alright. I mean if one wants realism, better go to Ukraine and hope that you actually continue from your last save when you die, heheh

I just want early to mid game ARs to be a bit more viable.

[opal fog]

Theyre viable imo, i use em all the time. Which ones r we talking about

[quiet wasp]

5.45 aks like the 74 and 74m, m4a1 and its variants

I never use them and just upgrade one for brain scorcher because it is mostly CQB, then go straight for endgame weapons like the f2000 or 9x39

But I love AKs so I’d want to have a period of the game where I use one and enjoy it

[analog palm]

Can't rapid fire
Hence useless

You only need to full auto in like 2 situations anyway

[opal fog]

Idk. I like to use those all the time and theyre really good. Assault rifles are the best guns in gamma

Just tapfire at range

[quiet wasp]

Approved by real loot goblins ✅

[opal fog]

If you want a low recoil AK thats easy to find, go AEK971. Bit of an ugly duckling but

[quiet wasp]

Hmm, I think 0.9.3 had a shitty model for that, was it improved with 0.9.4? I havent found one in my current playthrough despite having already reached the endgame…

[opal fog]

Its ugly, thats the only bad thing about it

[zinc coyote]

Is there a mod that adds a terminal you can place in your base and access traders within 150m? Did I dream this?

[near estuary]

yes, will be added in 095

or just add it yourself

[zinc coyote]

I thought I saw it in that channel, but I can't find it now. Do you know what it's called?

[near estuary]

can't find it either now

[random grail]

Mandella effect

I can also confirm it's not on dev2

Cant rapid fire

[dark hemlock]

semi auto >>>>> anything else

[rain nova]

I never have the ammo to use full auto

😔

[dark hemlock]

exactly lol

[rain nova]

I can't piss away money like that

[dark hemlock]

stalkers don't have shit

full-auto is waste of money

usually we barely having something to eat

[rain nova]

well that's a lie I do have the ammo to do it but I wouldn't if I did

[dark hemlock]

late-game is something else lol

usually we have enough to take over a country

mastering semi-auto makes hobo phase less terrible

at least on hard diff

1 bad firefight and u scraping the barrel

eating 1 rat skewer and drinking last clean water u have just to hopefully not die

[dark hemlock]

[near estuary]

Yes.

[quiet wasp]

It is so over lads…

[near estuary]

[blissful ivy]

I carry extensive ammo, and semi auto would let me down

[rain nova]

I could but then I'd have to spend less money on everything else

[blissful ivy]

When youre face to face with a nosorog carrying a pkp, im good NOT panic clicking

[rain nova]

ironically the one ammo type I have in excess is 5.7

[blissful ivy]

What else even is there

Meds

[rain nova]

despite it being really fucking expensive

[blissful ivy]

Ammo

Food or drink

Thats it

[rain nova]

meds, repair stuff, attachments that are way too expensive and I didn't need

[blissful ivy]

Attachments

Attachments arent that bad unless its thermals

Cqbss is 40k

[rain nova]

I like to conserve resources if I can

[blissful ivy]

Almost every reflex optic is less than 20k

[rain nova]

so if I can kill the enemy with less ammo then I will

[blissful ivy]

Conserving money, the most common resource

[rain nova]

(because pistol ammo types are super easy to get parts for)

[blissful ivy]

If youre overspraying thats a you issue

[rain nova]

I don't conserve that, I spend all of it, I just conserve ammo

[blissful ivy]

Generally i let off once i hear that sweet crunch of the skull, or when i hear a thud and they drop

[blissful ivy]

Ok theres a difference in conserving and keeping a healthy amount of money

Conserving is like millions for no reason but being a stingy bitch

Healthy amount is like 100-200k

Which i always have

[opal fog]

Am i the only one who rarely ever has to buy ammo at all? Once i get gunsmithing tools i kinda just switch from guntype to guntype whenever i run out

I craft a fuckton of buckshot for mutants, when i run out i switch to my fuckton of hydrashock. By the time i run out ive collected enough ammo parts from dead people to switch back to crafting a fuckton of buckshot

Same thing with ars and snipers

[opal fog]

This is so me

[opal fog]

Is this a sign of im doing something wrong or im doing something right

[analog palm]

I usually get millions without thinking about it

There aren't that many money sinks

[opal fog]

Yeah and even when you do spend a lot on something fancy it only takes a few artifact or pseudogiant sales to get back to scratch

Or freedoms task that drops you 50k

The humble 80k from giving a shell to some random loner:

Happend to me recently

Was surprised it was so much

[opal fog]

Oh damn, i just found a bat just laying around in x16

If i upgrade a 100% artifact with it will it come out as 33%?

[analog palm]

it averages the condition i think

idk i dont use artifacts

[rain nova]

maybe I'm just picking the wrong tasks but a lot of things give me like 7k even in northern areas

[atomic pebble]

IXR Texture Rework has two versions:
IX-Ray CoP, Anomaly.
Anomaly version was released first as "Diolator Texture Rework" or smth but that one was very incomplete, IX-Ray CoP version is superior because it has updated assets and are PBR, eventually both versions will be released for free, available for everyone that could want use em

• Early access of Texture Rework for Anomaly.
• Early access of PBR Texture Rework for IXRAY engine.
  From the boosty

[hollow wadi]

Man, we're enabling AI slop in a mod approved by Grok

[errant nebula]

I understand but at this point both are paid or at least the one for anomaly.

[atomic pebble]

Both are, as the early access implies

[rare bridge]

Is there any reason to do the miracle machine mission? doesnt look like you get paid

[sick yoke]

Unlocks bs

[stark wyvern]

you need to do it to access the North (after disabling BS too)

[rare bridge]

[glass sable]

you cant go further up the map until you turn both machines off

did he even say anything about the scam lmao

i feel like the scam is so common now

[blissful rampart]

all he said was those 4 pics

[sterile pumice]

Trying to make a database to better store my GAMMA gear info. How many parts does a rifle have and what are the categories?
I remember the barrel, trigger, bolt and gas system. Am I forgetting something?

[little light]

https://stalker-gamma-db.com/db/gamma-0.9.4/all-weapons?lang=en&q=Pkp

[sterile pumice]

Thank you

[sterile pumice]

Actually, nevermind, can't find the part categories

[little light]

well ig guns in general have 4 parts

except some smgs (i think) and pistols

[sterile pumice]

So it's something like:
Pistol: Barrel, trigger, recoil spring (Semiautos)
Rifle: Barrel, trigger, bolt, gas system + (Something I feel I'm forgetting)
SMGs: Same as rifle
Shotgun: Barrel, trigger, extractor, pump

[little light]

pretty much

[sterile pumice]

Still can't beat the feeling I'm forgetting something

[little light]

i mean i dont think it matters much? you can just hover the guns you wanna repair in your inv to see if its compatible or not

itll highlight parts that are

[sterile pumice]

I like to keep everything adequately logged so I know what I have and where and what can I sell. Also which parts I need. Helped a lot

[little light]

you do you

[sterile pumice]

Thank you for the URL, though! It can come in handy

Someone knows the exact parts thing?

[blissful ivy]

Psychopath behavior

This is some crazy shit

[mild wing]

you can check whether you have a certain part in your stash in a tooltip that appears when you hover over it

makes life easier

[mild wing]

read their bio and it'll all make sense

[blissful ivy]

Im autistic as fuck, but i cant be asked to do that shit

[mild wing]

something something it's a spectrum yadda yadda

you're a different flavor i guess

[blissful ivy]

true!

Im the super retarded 40k flavor

I can recite 40k lore to people

But i cant remember what i ate for lunch 20 min ago

[mild wing]

aight which type of media would be best for a normie like me to see what the 40k is all about?

[blissful ivy]

I can send you a 40k movie i found on youtube a while ago

But only when i get home

I dont have it on mobile

[mild wing]

[blissful ivy]

I also have a bunch of novels

Like 13

That are ready to go

I recommend starting with the dawn of fire books

Im just gonna send you a drive folder link

If youre wondering why theres like 2 missing novels, its because they sucked major donkey smegma

[mild wing]

aight send that over DM

but with my level of procrastination

i'm not sure i'll even get to them

[blissful ivy]

I still dont have the link

Its on my pc

[mild wing]

i still have like 4 books of my own to start

[blissful ivy]

Wait maybe i do have it

One sec

[mild wing]

no rush, it's for later anyways

[blissful ivy]

What books you got

[mild wing]

nothing 40k related

two books about F1

and Metro 2033

i actually finished the 4th one, Beyond Band of Brothers

[near estuary]

lemme guess

something about niki lauda

and something about...

mclaren

[near estuary]

oh nice

[mild wing]

the 2nd one is a bit out of date though

[near estuary]

I was thinking of buying something on Senna or Berger

[mild wing]

i'd probably be a senna hater if i was alive during his stint

[near estuary]

he wasn't exactly a team player

then again, almost none of the Greats are

Can we gog install right now or is that broken to I wanna reset my pc but won’t if it breaks my gamma

GOG install works just fine

[turbid heart]

Awesome

Whats this model? anyone know? Is that hybrid armored suit? if so then hes about to die

[zinc coyote]

my first 4 yellow stashes are gunsmithing tools

kill me

[celest vortex]

skill issue

[vagrant current]

Just be glad it isn’t four drug making kits

[glossy drift]

Tbf drug making kits can be given to medics, gunsmithing tools are worthless past the first one

Basic tools on the other hand can somewhat be useful

[vagrant current]

Yes but I would still rather have four gunsmithing kits than four drug making kits in the early game, ammo is expensive unless you’re using the most common, cheapest ammo possible and hollow points are a lifesaver

[glossy drift]

Fair

[random grail]

You can rarely get fetch tasks for gunsmithing but they pay dogshit

[glossy drift]

I've never seen any, are they from Bandits ?

[random grail]

Random npcs

And you literally get more for selling them

[vagrant current]

Fetch tasks tend not to pay well in general unless they’re for guns or dangerous mutant parts

[glossy drift]

then it's fucking worthless and proves my point lmao

[random grail]

[vagrant current]

The worst fetch tasks are the ones for hides, yes, let me sell you my pseudogiant hide for literal pocket change

[late bough]

They're good because they still push you towards getting your next yellow stash

[glossy drift]

fair

[covert arch]

anyone have any idea what causes certain guns (in this case the r700 deer hunter) to show up invis?

[near estuary]

weapon packs tend to fuck up icons

[obsidian swift]

АААЕЕЕ

оее

[wanton iris]

I feel like the only thing that still looks outdated in this game (other then item icons) is just textures, you can get insainly good looking lighting, grass, etc, but haven't found a texture mod that makes stuff look a bit better

[dark hemlock]

disable gun icons, honestly

just use the basic ones

i tried to fix this too

[covert arch]

i have no clue which mod is causing this tho, i havent enabled any manually

[dark hemlock]

do you have HD icons?

With HD framework, etc.?

[covert arch]

not that im aware of

but i can check

[dark hemlock]

some guns are without icons, unfortunately

I ended up using the default ones for all, it fixed the invisible gun problem

[covert arch]

i see maids HD icons, is that the one?

[dark hemlock]

HD guns are visible, but attachments get ridiculously out of place so I also left it off

[dark hemlock]

Yes

try removing or disabling the .ltx that messes with it

simple as that and your guns are back

[covert arch]

pog, thanks

[dark hemlock]

glad to see it worked, have fun man

[stiff sail]

IS GAMMA BACK

im suffering from withdrawals

[blissful ivy]

[merry egret]

I think I pressed a button and now every time I disassemble something my guy does a little animation, how can i disable that exactly cuz disassembling ammo is so much worse now xdd

[pallid tangle]

"Toggle Item Use Animations" key which is ]

[merry egret]

but that wont deactivate the other items like food or medication?

[pallid tangle]

try it. it shouldn't because I have it off, food animations still work

[merry egret]

it said that animation are off and still does it, maybe I need to reload

[pallid tangle]

hmm I don't know what it is then. maybe ask in https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/922555488665743391

[sterile pumice]

I used to have one of those, they increasingly harder to get

[merry egret]

sorry for not updating the situation, i was busy for a while, I restarted the game and now it doesn't do the animation so it works fine, tnx

is this useful for anything? i just decided to take down a heli cuz it was annoying me

the one i killed was just following me around everywhere so i decided to gun it down

[tall jolt]

What’s it called?

[worn tartan]

black box recorder or smth like that

[tall jolt]

Oh that makes sense

If i had to guess sell it to an info trader

[main idol]

Anyone know where this stash is?

[stuck ravine]

!ms // You should be able to find any stash with this....

[dawn marten]

@main idol
An ongoing bug causes some stashes to spawn on random objects, anomalies or NPC's, resulting in the loss of any items they might've held.

To identify if the stash is indeed bugged you can do this:

1. Disable Areas above the PDA Map to remove white circles around locations
2. Right Click the stash marker on your PDA Map
3. Select Set Waypoint
4. Right Click the waypoint you just added
5. Select Waypoint Settings
6. Enable Show waypoints marker on HUD
7. Press OK
8. The on-screen waypoint will point towards the stash

[edgy prairie]

Some stashes even appear on ur created ones

[subtle hornet]

man this sucks...I wanted to run around the zone before I have to sell my PC next week...ggs

[blissful ivy]

why do you have to sell your pc?

[frank beacon]

Mmmm tempted to buy a polish mc-1 mask for cosplay

But i have absolutely zero idea for what to do for an outfit

[long torrent]

east german motoschutzen

[frank beacon]

Elaborate??

I mean, ive got until november either way

[long torrent]

look at that goofy east german uniform

[frank beacon]

Lmfao

Real

Honestly, i was just thinking of running some overalls, a jacket and a chest rig lmao

Maybe grab an airsoft gun too

[long torrent]

get the ||snork|| mask too

[frank beacon]

A GP-4?

[long torrent]

(caution asbestos)

[frank beacon]

Yeah, i wouldnt be using an actual filter if i can help it

[long torrent]

ah no it's the fancier military ShMS

u rite, muh bad

[frank beacon]

I think a PMG-1 would be pretty cool though

But i think id just go with an MC-1 because straps and I have a lot of hair

[earnest rain]

Yo I've got a bug that's not too bad but definitely annoying

Whenever I use the bedroll it crashes

My character hasn't slept in days

Could anyone possibly send me the bedroll mod file so I can overwrite mine

[analog palm]

Just sleep in normal bed

[crystal hinge]

🫩

I'm fuggn pissed lol

Also ayyo lads, how's she swingin today?

[analog palm]

what are chances of getting a working pkm from him

[crystal hinge]

Bro is about to see the contents of his skull. 😬

[scenic trench]

does he drop anything?
never tried

[analog palm]

yeah

[hushed pier]

his pkm though

does not take scope

pr attachments

but yeah u can kill him

[analog palm]

so what

[hushed pier]

u lose out on missions

[analog palm]

irons are enough for like 80% of situations

what missions, im never touching cordon again

[hushed pier]

do it then

there is a chance

[analog palm]

it was broken so whatever

[hushed pier]

still have to get parts

[errant oar]

If it's a debug gun, odds are good that the sights will be misaligned, reloads broken, etc.

Story/Static NPCs spawn with weapons that are outside of GAMMA's supported ones.

[hushed pier]

yeah does not spawn normally

it does pkm damage but didnt test it extensivly

[errant oar]

It's a lottery. Guns that aren't explicitly supported but still in the game (There are a lot of them) can spawn on story NPCs. Them not being supported means that they'll have issues that have been patched on the normal guns.

[analog palm]

it's a normal BAS pk

ya'll overthinking it

[scenic trench]

real question
is it the trade-able model?

[ripe lagoon]

not really the case anymore

[errant oar]

News to me. Just remembering the time such a gun sent me down a rabbit hole.

[analog palm]

also yeah there are a handful of guns that dont have WPO parts

even then they work fine

some of vanilla guns also inherit animations from modded versions i think

[hushed pier]

@analog palm OMG

LMAO

just got green barrel pkm of the rip

[static dune]

repair it and do a war crime

[hushed pier]

gonna be a long way before i get bullets and repair tho

[static dune]

I think advanced tools on technician or yourself gonna allow to

[olive glade]

Finally a long weekend for me

Now i can try to install gamma on linux

Tho my graphics card died so DX8 will it be for me

[radiant sage]

Green barrel, no repairs necessary apart from getting new parts

And if anything you can get a small D repair kit to get the barrel to 100

And for ammo, I offer you the humble gunsmithing kit

[zinc coyote]

It was in the announcements channel lmao #📢announcements message

[main elbow]

the gamma launcher download is painfully slow,does anyone have a solution to this?

[stark wyvern]

you cant download gamma right now.

downloading gamma rn is like putting diesel in a gas engine

unless u got linux

[robust lichen]

yeah

[normal path]

[livid plover]

is there a way to play like gamma lite? I'm on my steamdeck, anomaly runs great. But having issues on gamma, think it's just struggling to keep the thing together.

Is there a lite subset of mods just to get that feel, weapons parts etc.

[near estuary]

!dx8 is your best bet

!dx8

Dumbahh bot broken

[stuck ravine]

!dx \ the bot works fine

[dawn marten]

@livid plover
If you want to play with DX8 or DX9, follow this guide: #╭📖faq message

[near estuary]

!dx8

[dawn marten]

@near estuary
If you want to play with DX8 or DX9, follow this guide: #╭📖faq message

[near estuary]

Yeah now it does

[livid plover]

thanks I'm using that at the mo — just wondering if there is a way to cut down the mod amount? so I'm running mainly the gameplay mods not anything visual/aesthetic related

[near estuary]

Probably more difficult than you'd imagine
Gamma is full of dependancies

You could try disabling everything besides the gamma section in MO2

But idk if that wouldnt break shit

[livid plover]

oh yeah i forgot about the sections — will give that a go but I'd imagine it would be a rats nest

nevermind! I might just keep anomaly on the deck, gamma for the main machine

[little light]

some mod that is named almost irrelevant can somehow hold the most important code for like 90 mods

[livid plover]

I'll keep my afternoon then

[little light]

lowk better to just make a custom modpack

at least i know what to look for

[livid plover]

yeah just build from Anomaly?

[little light]

yeah

[celest vortex]

steam deck just not enough memory

16gb shared pool of ram and vram is just not enough for gamma and all of the mods

and the modlist over the years is growing too, so ram requirement for gamma slowly keeps creeping up

[main idol]

I went to launch gamma today and my mod list went from 559 to 284???

[earnest rain]

this is no good

it happens whenever i try to turn in a mission i completed at rostok

[olive glade]

Wait really?

[earnest rain]

i can just not turn it in but i wont be able to take missions from this guy anymore

[hushed pier]

yep

[olive glade]

Damn

CachyOS saving my ass

But why tho?

[near estuary]

Different method

[livid plover]

dumb question where is the best place to get mods for anomaly?

[near estuary]

Moddb

[hushed pier]

random links from chat

[livid plover]

use MO2 to build it?

[olive glade]

Well when i get out of my job i will try and install it since i do use linux

[near estuary]

Sure
Or just drop 50 mods into your gamedata folder and watch it shit itself

[livid plover]

ha — i have two paths in front of me

[hushed pier]

ur employed what a loser

[olive glade]

Dropping mods on gamedata ain't shitting anything

Internet ain't gonna pay ltself

Not at all

I'm employed and a college student

how can you purchase upgrades from technician? seems its turned off. in past i remember you could bring the tools and they could repair and upgrade

[steep elm]

Repairs and upgrades done by mechanics got disabled at some point in default Gamma

Not sure which mods to disable (if you can) to re-enable said features at mechanics.

there is enough of that depression bs in real-life

more than enough

gotta have some balance

[lyric tide]

You know whats more depressing

Coming home to immersive yourself in delusion of happiness

Nah i prefer coming home and doing more that depression shit

I love fighting 10 Pseudogiants in some swamp in the dead of night

[dark hemlock]

that's depressing for sure

lol

unless you are gucci geared enough

if there is such a thing

10 of those could take over a country

[lyric tide]

The gear doesnt matter tbh they will get you through a super heavy exo

So much stomping

[dark hemlock]

only gear that would matter is a helicopter

lol

if we had one

[lyric tide]

I have one actually

[dark hemlock]

but honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they jumped to grab you

They can sell you repair kits aswell

[dark hemlock]

yeah, its nice

i always check what he got on sale lol, its worth it

gotta have enough cash tho

early game sadly doesn't help

[crisp pewter]

is his a binocular mod

[lyric tide]

Well technically yes

[dark hemlock]

how did you change the BHS hud?

I'll look it up

I do not like the default BHS UI so it's a no-brainer for me

[nocturne trench]

just a small question am i more likely to get medium armor parts in like places like rostok or army warehouse

[lyric tide]

Not really

[blissful ivy]

I got alphalions mod

Its in mods posting

You can check it out

[dark hemlock]

thanks a lot

i'll definitely try them out

gotta get that immersion

[distant elk]

is there a new update out for the game?

[lyric tide]

have you tried checking the installation channels

[distant elk]

i use the GOG version so idk lol

[lyric tide]

I use GOG aswell, i dont even know if that shit can update, not that i would want it to

[distant elk]

oh okay

[hushed pier]

hey bye

[fallen atlas]

Damn
Even the launcher clone is broken

It just refuses to download from moddb

Guess I'll check gog

[fallen atlas]

Seems like gog might be the way to dl rn

[glossy drift]

yea GOG and Linux work

[near estuary]

psyop from gsc to sell stalker on gog

[fallen atlas]

kek

[distant elk]

what was the update for?

[glossy drift]

wut?

[fallen atlas]

"Stalker gamma cannot be installed"

Humble gog downloader

[simple tinsel]

huuu-

[blissful ivy]

[fallen atlas]

Look at me.
Who's the boss?
Who's the boss?
It's me.

[thin atlas]

why does it auto fail? :(

[leaden jackal]

how do i get this stash>?????

[distant elk]

was there an update recently ?

[clever canyon]

No

Launcher just died

That´s the update

[fallen atlas]

0.9.5 is coming on may 9th
Last update available is from march (gog only)

[stiff sail]

im so miserable without gamma

[steep elm]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-the-neat-part-you-dont-invincible-gif-27194608

there's a glitch at times with stashes where they'll spawn on top of NPCs, thus making them null and void

[dark hemlock]

nothing is impossible for those who have enough willpower

[fallen atlas]

And those who paid for call of pripyat when it was on sale, lmao

gog has no issues so if anyone owns stalker cop on the platform can dl gamma without an issue rn

[blissful ivy]

im willing to bet he died as soon as you started it

lmao

unless this is a common thing

[thin atlas]

No clue, it fails 100% of the time (this run) without fail

Reloading the save doesn't fix it so either the guy is already dead so the quest can't give me an npc to kill so it fails or it's just a bit bugged

[blissful ivy]

just get a different bounty quest

theres so damn many

[distant elk]

so what about 0.9.5? wil lthat be on GOG too?

[broken sundial]

were zombified stalkers giga buffed in some patch?(havent played for long)

[ripe lagoon]

ye they got 70% resist

[thin atlas]

what's the hardest faction to play and/or start as

[broken sundial]

can they get up infinitely if i don't finish them while they are down?

cuz it feels like it lol

[ripe lagoon]

I think so

[broken sundial]

i met like 5 zombiefied in meadows at night and rn its a fight i cannot take lol with my amount of ammo so i lured em away, holy, did not expect that

[solar chasm]

...zombies in meadow?

[solar chasm]

Hp to the head

Unless they're wearing a helmet

They take much less damage but if you can see their head they'll still only take 2 pistol hp rounds to put on the ground

[broken sundial]

ye i know, dont have any, start of the run

[solar chasm]

Well you know where the problem is there :L

Tbh i'm surprised there's zombies in meadow

You got extra mods going?

[broken sundial]

i have 45 acp tommy with shit irons and no HP, and 9x18 with 75% barrel

[solar chasm]

Meadow is still a non-alife zone afaik

[broken sundial]

yeah redone collection

[solar chasm]

Ah that'd explain it

[broken sundial]

btw i can't seem to change sights to the upper one, i remember i was able to before

[distant elk]

will 0.9.5 be on the GOG version aswell but with abit of a delay?

[ripe lagoon]

idk probably

[solar chasm]

Hmm haven't actually used the thomson recently. Possibly the redone getting involved but should be on the regular sight change key

[quasi python]

how is the multithreading being implimented into gamma? is it CnRs engine that hes been working on or something else?

[wild hatch]

I wanna know too, here hoping CPU perf can improve in 0.9.5

[slim burrow]

Sorry for the dumb question, but does anyone know where to turn off tutorials and the stalker messages from popping up on screen?

[steep elm]

I think somewhere in the MCM settings

[slim burrow]

Thanks! I'll take a look

[frank oxide]

#1467056699683770379

not as good as AOE in regards to fps and load times but a significant improvement over the base engine with framerate, frametime, lowering stutters and improving load time

Demonized is yet to implement the same updates to lua like cnr did, the engine most likely won’t include pip scopes

[steep elm]

It'll still be fine to use CnR's version, yeah?

[quasi python]

im not too worried about scopes tbh. it could be 2d or like it is now. performance is honestly key rn

[steep elm]

(love me pip scopes)

[frank oxide]

Should be fine to switch between

[steep elm]

[frank oxide]

At the very least expect 1% lows to be higher than with base engine

Npc dense areas also run much better, maps get in-engine culling fixes and whatnot but also separate mod makers fixing the map homs to make them not load the entire map because you’re in Yanov station or maps like Dark Valley

Optimizations to trader scripts so they don’t constantly check for restocks and lag entire maps

A ton of areas run much smoother

[quasi python]

any progress is better than none

[frank oxide]

It constantly gets new updates and fixes too both from Demonized and other modders

Crash solutions based on user logs in a very short window of time etc

Its good news overall for those on better hardware having trouble with stutters and lack of fps stability

[gleaming dew]

update tmr yahhoo

[clever canyon]

Uhh

[steep elm]

bro just woke up from a coma

[clever canyon]

Might wanna check #📢announcements

[gleaming dew]

grok context?

[bright birch]

does the condition of a gun affect the damage/pen if my companion is using it

[clever canyon]

No

[bright birch]

ok

good to know

[wild hatch]

Is it just me or the artifact system in GAMMA aboslute trash

[clever canyon]

If you don´t play the game you don´t need to interact with it

[gleaming dew]

I do :(

well I havnt in a couple months but it what it is

[solar chasm]

What's your issues with it?

[winter sierra]

im tryna find clear sky squads to turn into companions, where on earth do I find these guys

I got a pda version 3 so I should be able to find em and I literally cant find them anywhere

[solar chasm]

Swamp, sometimes garbage agroprom and yantar

[winter sierra]

i've been lookin all over those places and cant find any, ts is tragic

the uh version 3 kiltrak pda DOES track wandering squads right

[dark hemlock]

first time seeing this fella

somehow got involved in a clusterfuck of a shootout

in cordon

lmao

military goofballs called this heli in

coolest shit I saw in this game for a while lmao

[wild hatch]

I'm not a fan of the crafting, the effectiveness system and the crazy debuff. I simply prefer the artifact hunting in the original game

The "hunting" aspect of artifact lost its intention, now it's about hoarding them and killing mutants for parts for crafting
You're drawn into this linear, predictable grind, instead of the RNG system before, which I think had more charm

In GAMMA you almost never use artifacts until very late in game

[blissful ivy]

the "charm" of running around hitting artifact areas for something and not getting it for 8 hours

great.

yeah this is better

also in CS, not sure about CoP, but in CS the artifacts had set spawns

[errant oar]

Not in my experience. I tend to slot in some tier 2/3 artifacts as I find them since their downsides are easier to balance than the new equipment.

One thing I do dislike about the new system is how many Chimeras you have to kill if you want a top tier set of artifacts.

[blissful ivy]

most of the downsides arent even bad

bleed?

bandages out heal the bleed on white bleeds regardless

and you should have tourniquets

stamina regen? use cocaine or epi

like ok?

theyre very easy to balance

[blissful ivy]

the chimera thing isnt a big deal

not like its hard to find them

and ^

[errant oar]

It adds constant upkeep for advantages that aren't even that powerful in the south, usually.

[blissful ivy]

just go to outskirts, there will be like 10

[blissful ivy]

i use epi regardless

so its a win win

[errant oar]

It's bad when you have bad RNG, and you take down dozens of the fuckers and not one of them drops a heart.

[blissful ivy]

26kg of space, infinite stamina, and the small boost from the artifacts

[blissful ivy]

oh, well thats just really unlucky

i get a heart at least 1/3 times minimum

closer to 50/50

[solar chasm]

As others have said, disagree on the not using artefacts front (i find they are especially useful for the mm raid as getting psy and mutant res through other means is difficult)

Later game it is definitely a predictable grind

[blissful ivy]

"artefact"

icky spelling

[solar chasm]

Aaaaaargh

[blissful ivy]

its correct in the UK

which is the worst place for english

[solar chasm]

_>

[blissful ivy]

they made it, but its such a bum ass version of the language

extra vowels, random nonsensical spellings

etc.

[solar chasm]

Bro thinks his "we dropped letters to save on ink money" aaaah spelling is superior

[blissful ivy]

IT IS

artifact makes more sense

[wild hatch]

It's so much work to have artifacts working, empowering, fusing, balancing the debuff, etc

[errant oar]

Personal preference. I like having infinite stamina with no upkeep, and keep my epis/etc for A) when the stamina boosts from food wears off at the end of the day or B) When I find a huge amount of really great stuff to haul back.

[blissful ivy]

and dropping the extra Us and Os in words just makes them more appealing to look at

[blissful ivy]

epis are dirt cheap

so i just use them

back to back

[wild hatch]

yeah bro I'm sure CCNP isn't a big deal too
Just bring a gun and shoot up the place
easy

[blissful ivy]

if you cant afford 1-3 epis by day 2, youre doing it wrong

[blissful ivy]

Chernobyl Chunky Nuclear Plant

[wild hatch]

it is a little chunky

[blissful ivy]

to the chimera thing

[errant oar]

Sure, I can afford that many. But then I get less AP/HP/whatever for the raids, I have less I can throw at mechanics to get parts that RNGesus will not allow me to find otherwise, etc. It adds up.

[blissful ivy]

i usually have like 300k by the 4th day

quests are stupid easy

and pay stupid well

and theres not much to even BUY

meds, ammo

thats really it

and parts i guess.

[errant oar]

What progression difficult do you play on?

[wild hatch]

I hate it when mf just go "x isn't actually hard" like no shit doesn't mean it's not annoying

[blissful ivy]

i play invictus

so hardest

money is the most common resource in the zone

i craft my ammo, so i dont buy it

i do buy it from butcher i suppose, because then i get materials and hes cheapest

but thats it

AP is pointless until youre headed to BS imo

[errant oar]

Playstyle difference then. I don't cheese the ammo economy by bulk buying from Butcher, breaking rounds down, and making the kinds I want. Call it an unnecessary restriction, but it feels cheap.

[blissful ivy]

it is cheap

saves money

and even buying from normal traders

just adds like 15% cost

should still have MORE than enough

and crafting epis is easy too

theres no real excuse not to run around hopped up on adrenaline besides preference

[wild hatch]

Exactly bro
Just because I prefer not to use companions as packmules doesn't mean I can't complain about the game being hard solo

Mf would cheese the game and clown on people who don't and struggle

[blissful ivy]

i dont cheese though?

companions dont work well as pack mules anyways

20kg isnt worth all that much

thats what? 3 guns?

[wild hatch]

also this is WAY better than GAMMA's

[blissful ivy]

4 maybe

[blissful ivy]

reminder, clear sky had set spawns

CoP and SoC didnt i suppose

but SoC had the worst version of it

[wild hatch]

i like it in SoC
I like the RNG

[blissful ivy]

just run around and hope you find them

no detector

CoP had the RNG you want, but you can actually find them in anomalies

[wild hatch]

you can combine them into something better

[blissful ivy]

which was way better

[blissful ivy]

what?

[wild hatch]

Yeah I like CoP, but a few are always there, which make it too easy

[blissful ivy]

cant do that in SoC

gamma is an up and downgrade

[wild hatch]

So something like CoP, without the pre-placed stuff, like Heart of Oasis

[blissful ivy]

heart is the only pre placed one btw

[wild hatch]

no up imo

[blissful ivy]

[blissful ivy]

which is a dumb take

it has its ups and downs

as do many things

youre just biased

[wild hatch]

what about the Compass?

[blissful ivy]

is it pre placed? i dont know, never really found it lmao

i ignored it

[wild hatch]

what up? the fact that I can craft them all?

[wild hatch]

no from Noah

[blissful ivy]

no, the implementation

[wild hatch]

like what

[blissful ivy]

the downsides

-bleed and shit

its a good idea

it makes it a tactical decision to a degree

[wild hatch]

to a certain extend but it's too much
it's maths spreadsheet stuff atp

[blissful ivy]

and its implemented better than the originals

no its fucking NOT

just say you dont wanna read or smth

[wild hatch]

YES IT IS

[wild hatch]

It's not THAT hard but I DON'T WANNA DEAL WITH IT

[blissful ivy]

so you just dont wanna read

thats it

its as simple as "This does -100, and this does +100, therefore cancel out"

if you simplify it

[wild hatch]

I guess

i don't

[little light]

i feel like every popular modpack ive seen always has complex crafting mechanics in it

modpack for any game

[wild hatch]

Tbf i never even used artifacts in Anomaly

And GAMMA system is basically Anomaly's on steroid

I'm glad GAMMA got rid of the lead container however

[dark hemlock]

damn, now we gucci

m4 protector green barrel

[naive tartan]

Is the CS style micro stun from getting shot a recent addition? Just noticed it and can't remember if this was a thing last I played

[little light]

what?

idk what micro stun in cs is

[naive tartan]

The hit stun from taking damage, the quick slow you get from that. I said cs, because that's where I remember something similar

[near estuary]

that was always in stalker

[naive tartan]

Probably misremembering but I remember being able to sprint away under fire and not getting stuck in the mud for a 1/4 second

[near estuary]

and in gamma

[naive tartan]

Did it get bumped up?

[near estuary]

oh yeah, with the way sprinting works, you WILL get stuck on random geometry in stalker

just the way it is

[naive tartan]

Nah not random prop collision, just the quick 'oof' stun you get. Probably remembering it not being there last time because I would have been maxxed out on gear/artes so probably wasnt a problem

[near estuary]

gear does nothing to it iirc

a pseudodog can stunlock you anyway

[naive tartan]

Yeah the mutants is fair enough, just the bullet hit stun caught me off. Historically I've always gone and edited every script / feature to work how I'd prefer, so likely some dicking about I did last time

[hollow wadi]

Having max rupture resistance means you basically take no damage from a chimera jump, but the stun is engine-side I believe

So you get slowed regardless

And yes, it was always present

There were ideas to move it to mods/settings but then everyone would just set it to 0 and yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay balance

[near estuary]

god forbid a modular modpack is actually modular for once

[hollow wadi]

I truly believe it's only "modular" because it has MODS and Grok needed another M for "GAMA"

[near estuary]

just replace it with "Massive" atp

[naive tartan]

Best you could do is scale by caliber/damage/whatever. but even then edit .script > all == 0

[naive tartan]

This shit do be lookin pretty modular though

[near estuary]

yeah but that's just MCM

when it comes down to disabling/whatever important shit like how the ballistics work, good luck

[hollow wadi]

By that metric, every mod is modular

Go in the settings? Oh that bitch is modular

[naive tartan]

Well yeah, if you're in the habit of writing up ur own scripts and rewriting stuff like me it is!

[hollow wadi]

Now go disable the throwable lights

[lyric tide]

my game is so fucked were it to ever be updated, i have edited so many fucking files

[errant oar]

This is why you don't overwrite files directly, you copy them, make edits to the copy, and overwrite them using MO2. Or DLTX, for STALKER. That way, GAMMA won't touch them, and you're free to just re-enable them after an update.

[hollow wadi]

Example: !pulse2bright

It's just a couple folders and a file completely untouched except for 3 lines

[lyric tide]

Why tf is the Skadovsk causing massive lagspikes

Like the closer i get to it the game just keeps fuckin freezing

Oh god that is a lot of zombies

[untold rapids]

prob cause there's like 100 loners on that ship

[lyric tide]

Or maybe the 10 Burers, 500 zombies and 20 Pseudogiants in the area that may or may not be my fault for not properly culling the place often
(I dont go to Zaton very often)

Holy shit.

[untold rapids]

yeah that could be the problem

[lyric tide]

Im not even exaggerating, i just got absolutely shit on by so many zombies and behind them a group of burers
Im talking hundreds while Burers are exhausting you and throwing your gun

All over the map

[untold rapids]

never had anything like that

[lyric tide]

My settings are a bit special

[untold rapids]

i see

[lyric tide]

ALife+ also probably spawned a bunch of zombies in zaton, and my zombie groups tend to be 30+ upwards

And they stay there until you clear out the map

I just destroyed like atleast 4 Zombie groups, im about to run out of ammo

[little light]

i thought AP doesnt mess with spawns?

[lyric tide]

It probably doesnt mess with the spawns themselves but it keeps certain groups of mutants contained within their usual ecosystems
Or makes them wander sometimes

ZCP does the rest, and my settings are.... kind of insane

[little light]

hmm

[lyric tide]

So you will be finding a lot of psy creatures and zombies in zaton for example

But they can also wander south

But thats their usual hangout

Theres right now, so far as i counted, atleast 30 Pseudogiants with some Albino Giants sprinkled in, a group of atleast 15 Burers, more than 300 Zombies and some cats and boars sprinkled in near the Skadovsk

Whats strange is that the Zombie groups seem to be sticking to the Burers as if they are being herded by them

And theyre using them like disposable pawns while draining your stamina and the zombies act as shields while the burers attack from the backline

Would be cool to add this upgrade to the modpack

I think it's mounted to the rear sight block

wtf

that's a lot of fuckin mutants in a single map

[lyric tide]

Yea, i didnt actually fiddle with population though, its only at 1.5 for Mutants and 1.0 for Stalkers

What i did is i changed squad size variation

[solar chasm]

i mean

that still fiddles with pop

[lyric tide]

Because i didnt like how there were only occasional encounters with like one controller out in the open or one burer or PG

[solar chasm]

kinda

[lyric tide]

So now i have encounters with 8+ Controllers

I kinda dig it actually

It can be one, it can be two, it can be eight

[solar chasm]

i mean there were packs of like 5 controllers spawning in jupiter and outskirts

for me for a good while

[lyric tide]

Not for me ig

So i took it into my own hands

You see, i love cock and ball torture

[solar chasm]

i gathered

multiple controllers are.... kinda manageable

multiple PG's.... kinda aren't

and i just hate burers in general

[lyric tide]

Works if you bring grenade launchers to an extent, or high caliber weapons

[solar chasm]

oh i'm very much a fan of grenade launchers as an anti-PG measure

[lyric tide]

I just felt like the game was missing Avoidance encounters

You know

Those kinds of encounters you just SHOULD PROBABLY FUCKING AVOID

[serene stream]

Where do I upload it?

In mods room?

[solar chasm]

i mean a lot of the times PG's are that encounter by virtue of them often just dropping a single fucking eye

[hollow wadi]

Moddb, no?

[serene stream]

Ok and then link in mod room.
I'll give it a try
