[manic granite]

man, there was a github repo with famas and other things like a ks-23 caliber bullpup saiga, anyone remember how held it?

it was athi

[hoary fern]

Hello fellow stalkers is this the gamma rehab? I am 1 week clean from gamma since the delay. 😂

[cyan veldt]

a computer case does not protect from gamma particles
to stay clean you'd need to lock yourself in a room with concrete walls at least 1m thick and covered in lead sheets

[hoary fern]

Can I borrow your hideout then? 😅

[cyan veldt]

its a little waterlogged

[slender knoll]

gamma still cant be installed?

[frank oxide]

not yet

[clever canyon]

#📢announcements will have updates , if there are any

[limpid lagoon]

You can craft the tools in the next update?

I mean aside from combining lower tools to make higher level tools - ?

[haughty stone]

Stalker's holster

[chilly sail]

I just learned about distance fall off damage value
My world is crumbling
Does it also affect npcs?

[fallen timber]

where did my scope go

[clever canyon]

!noscope

[dawn marten]

@fallen timber To fix missing scope reticles with 3DSS enabled:

1. Go to Settings -> Modded Exes > Visual > Shader Scopes, make sure 3DSS is on
2. Go to Settings -> Visual -> Advanced, make sure AA and SMAA are off
3. Restart the game

[fallen timber]

[hollow wadi]

NPC vs player is different from player vs NPC so start from there :)

[sick yoke]

No :)

[solar tiger]

Y'all is there a snork spawn in cordon? I need one hand for hips quest and I don't really want to run. To wild territory or whatever

[valid silo]

you need a ton for the hip quest lol

like 10 iirc

[random grail]

8

[valid silo]

none the less MM is probably the best place to get them or if you just want to get them over time a fridge is really nice so they don't spoil

[limpid lagoon]

What is MM?

[blissful ivy]

Miracle machine

Yantar lab

[opal fog]

Yeah, pretty much all pistol and shotgun rounds in gamma have significant damage loss even over medium range. Any assault rifle or sniper rifle round is barely affected at all

Its mostly noticable with buckshot, which loses like half its damage at 40m compared to 0m

[worn tartan]

what's the name of the wrenched artefact in the af list?

nvm found it

[opal fog]

Something like af_vyvert cuz thats the russian name for it

[craggy flower]

What are the KVMA Had of God meshes? And what are they for?

Does it fix the bullet decal not showing up on the equipment of the models?

[celest zinc]

Does heavy pockets do anything or is it useless if ur have max shop lvls with every faction ur neutral with

Or does it lvl 5 enemy faction shops so u can get their best inventory in disguise

Thats the only benefit i can think of for saving an astronomical 10 million ru

[celest sparrow]

it's lv 5 for every Trader regardless of relation

[clever yoke]

Hey sorry out of curiosity what are the gunplay changes coming in 0.9.5? I saw that there was something about more realistic weapons handling

[near estuary]

"realism" mentioned

[near estuary]

oh yeah, ADS speed will now be non-linear

[buoyant mountain]

Which files should I modify so that once the game has started, one faction is an ally or an enemy of another?

[celest zinc]

when did these doors open

[near estuary]

like in the last half a year or something

guess it was easier than changing Loris' retarded sleep routine

[sick yoke]

lol what

[near estuary]

it's

[sick yoke]

how the fuck can ads speed be nonlinear lmao

[near estuary]

[thick sedge]

[celest zinc]

they make the barret take 5 seconds to lug up to scoping position

start talking to sin dude, summons emission to style on me telling me about the lord and savior, the zone

[near estuary]

just how many duckass emojis do you have

and what server are they even from

[night sigil]

Good morning everyone and fuck Microsoft

[craggy flower]

Any one else having an issue with the 1P59 not zooming on the VSSK?

[night sigil]

Screenshot?

[craggy flower]

Doesn't zoom. Scope zooms fine on other rifles.

Might be because I had to disable the VSSK aim fix script to fix a misaligned lenses issue with the Vortex attached.

[fallen atlas]

Hey @mighty viper
What's the situation with the launcher? May 8th will see release or should we expect more delays? 👀

[near estuary]

[mighty viper]

8th should be good. We have the new launcher up for test atm and it’s working perfectly

[near estuary]

[fallen atlas]

https://klipy.com/gifs/smile-nod--k01KR0H5CTPQPM84PHABADG745J

[mighty viper]

So we are running more tests today

[thick sedge]

6 to 7

[thick sedge]

mine

[mighty viper]

New launcher should be up tomorrow before the update I think

[near estuary]

[fallen atlas]

Now to see how long the launcher-clone repo will take to update with a fix
Since last I checked gamma launcher doesn't like wine

[thick sedge]

you can always use the cli someone made in their repo

[fallen atlas]

I set up cli once before, but I can't deny that a graphic interface makes things so much better

[thick sedge]

also let's put gamma on protondb tell them to use X protonGE version

[fallen atlas]

why didn't bro hide in the bus stop

Cinematographic Panic

PFFFT

It's useless, they can get inside the buildings and that's fucking scary

That being said, it's now tempting to see if it's possible to make Half-Life styled HUD for Anomaly
To mess with players.

[thick sedge]

bro not switching to a bigger caliber

also purple textures midfight classic gmod

[night sigil]

Which game is more stable, Anomaly or Gmod with 500 mods

[thick sedge]

gmod because its engine is not crappy crap

[night sigil]

Sounds like you haven't worked with the Source Engine

[fallen atlas]

Gmod with 500 mods: "Somebody kill meeee"
1 fps 1 fps 1 fps 30 fps 1 fps 60 fps 1 fps 2 fps 1 fps crash to destkop

All while sounds loops over and over like a stuck record player

[blazing vessel]

I'm loosing my mind, a few weeks ago a friend of mine claimed they are running vanilla gamma and we are on the same version, but they have an extra tab on their PDA with a store?! is that a mod or am i just blind?

[little light]

mod

interactive pda i think is what its called

[blazing vessel]

[nocturne veldt]

Update release when

[blissful rampart]

we'll see tomorrow.

but i'm pretty sure it won't be smooth dev2 and main merge

either that or the launcher will not work

[frank oxide]

So far it works (8.5, not any public ones)

Branch merge is always shit so most likely that

[blissful rampart]

we'll see

[opal fog]

Just dont jump into the update right away, let it sit a few days and let the guinea pigs jump in

[median ridge]

Probably won't work tomorrow

Also gotta wait for other qol mods to follow

Altought I don't see why some of them won't work out of the box

[shrewd sail]

Github about to revert commits instead of merging

[wintry jackal]

Insane 0.9.5 is tomorrow

[celest zinc]

this pump station defense almost became the damn alamo, thought i was gonna die when i realized all the clear sky had died and tghe bandits were climbing the stairs to the snipers nest. maybe their sniper wouldnt die and i could fire more if that thing had...ANY cover at all

never had it go this bad lmao

[random grail]

Help plz

[celest zinc]

go to the support channel theyll help you for sure

[random grail]

Idk but prototype is 8.5b

[near estuary]

flop gonna be real happy about this one

[random grail]

Miri was happy

[celest zinc]

seems simple, can u pull up the logs

[blissful rampart]

fine image quality, i can still see the error box

What if we bring back invictus role, but to get it u have to stream ur run, just like speedrunners do for achievments.

Its too cool

[blissful rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/how-do-we-tell-him-mr-krabs-spongebob-meme-spongebob-meme-gif-24063814

[random grail]

[blissful rampart]

there will be JUDGES to judge your run legitimacy?

[hushed pier]

the community judges always lol

in all speedrunner

places

[blissful rampart]

come over guys you'll prove moderation that my run was legit

[tall veldt]

…

[random grail]

50 pancakes and it's legit

[hushed pier]

Bro it would be soo goood how yall dont see this

[mental furnace]

[blissful rampart]

idk man why do we need roles anyway

[hushed pier]

There will be competiton

and fun

[hushed pier]

badge for competitions?

[tall veldt]

[blissful rampart]

idk man,maybe i'm not into that

[hushed pier]

u dont have to be but for those who are!

[blissful rampart]

1.0 will be released much faster than this happens actually

[mental furnace]

[hushed pier]

Well if you agree wit me like the suggestion

[blissful rampart]

[hushed pier]

we can only gain with this

[analog palm]

Shitass pinged grok

[blissful rampart]

really? where

[analog palm]

In suggestions

[blissful rampart]

noooo

#1092834455300866068

no fucking way

it's time where he knows why was it previously removed

[analog palm]

Tbh I don't think it'd be a bad idea to have little events like that cuz gamma does need more fun stuff.

but I don't see how it'd viably be judged and moderated

[blissful rampart]

well, in chats you chat, and in games you're having fun

by "little events" you mean that guy pinging grok for nothing and laughing at it, thus having fun?

[analog palm]

I mean speedruns and official challenges

[blissful rampart]

i mean why would you challenge yourself in game with 1-life mode, just to get a badge in discord.

[analog palm]

you

[hollow wadi]

No one gives a shit

[blissful rampart]

did i say something wrong

[analog palm]

A certain damned soul speedran invictus with melee only

[blissful rampart]

clap clap

[hollow wadi]

Go get your funny achievement and go outside

[blissful rampart]

uhm, waht else can we do

you can always tweak stuff to make runs easier

you can make npcs blind, wahtever

[analog palm]

He streamed it in full

Was fun watching the suffering

Is des still here

[blissful rampart]

idk man, making alot of roles just to show you're special is just really not good imo

[broken sundial]

im special

[blissful rampart]

nice

[wintry jackal]

All of us are special in our own little ways 🥹

[analog palm]

I said nothing about roles guh

I just think some proper events would be cool

[blissful rampart]

i've been commenting about making different roles, the main point of the discussion

[analog palm]

Cuz gamma is way too utilitarian

Nearly nothing is done as for-fun stuff

[blissful rampart]

:atmylimit:

that shit

i'm lazy

[limpid lagoon]

Everything still a go for tomorrow? Launcher/update ready?

[blissful rampart]

i think launcher is ready, they got test version

still waiting for tomorrow

[limpid lagoon]

Which place on the discord will the launcher be downloaded from? GAMMA installation?

[blissful rampart]

probably the first thing where that will be announced is in #📢announcements

[limpid lagoon]

Yeah - that makes sense

[blissful rampart]

like with every other launcher version

[limpid lagoon]

Well I hope everything goes smoothly - I am looking forward to another GAMMA playthrough

[blissful rampart]

pray for the best and prepare for the worst

since branch merges are always not smooth, you'll probably wait for a few more days

but that's not your problem, that's #🔨base-gamma-support theirs

[clever canyon]

If the merge does go smoothly the moddb servers will burn

So eh , it’ll probably be chaos either way

[blissful rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/stalker-truth-nuke-emission-truth-emission-call-of-pripyat-gif-14229726997207095026

[clever canyon]

Yeah

[limpid lagoon]

So it was the moddb site that changed their security features that resulted in the launcher changes?

[blissful rampart]

i'd like to see the #🔨base-gamma-support burn

[clever canyon]

Yeh

[blissful rampart]

or #🔨поддержка-стандарт-gamma-ru-ua russian support, where people usually aren't capable of reading completely

[limpid lagoon]

After the fun I had last time I played GAMMA - I am definately going to rush the thermal scope

[blissful rampart]

have fun installing the thing ヽ(•̀ᴗ•́)ノ

[limpid lagoon]

It was easy to install - just like he other scopes

[blissful rampart]

[limpid lagoon]

Literally the same - no different

[blissful rampart]

i was talking about installing gamma

or updating whatever

[limpid lagoon]

I have no control over that - I have no reason to think it wont work

[blissful rampart]

smart

[wintry sky]

Installing gamma when a new major update is available is the first anomaly

[limpid lagoon]

In this case it is unavoidable

[blissful rampart]

you can avoid this happening, just don't update that early, let people fix stuff and then come back

[limpid lagoon]

Sure - but I dont want to do that

[little light]

[limpid lagoon]

I am curious and want to get familiar with the changes and so I will try it out

Hell, even if it is totally broken I have so many other games to play

[little light]

i have a base to build, so prob a couple weeks after update ill update

[blissful rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/burger-king-gif-18996323

[limpid lagoon]

@little light - where are you building the base - I havent tried that yet

[little light]

in jupiter

kapochy? i think is what the area was called

[wintry sky]

I refuse. I've been holding off starting a new run waiting for the update. I won't be part of the solution, I'd rather be part of the problem

[limpid lagoon]

Thats the region beside all the construction?

[little light]

ye

[blissful rampart]

no one asked me but i'd build a base inside the room behind Dushman

cozy place

[near estuary]

@gronk give him the INVICTUS ROLE now!

[blissful rampart]

i said NOW

[limpid lagoon]

I might play with making my own base this playthrough - seen some results other people had - some interesting ideas for sure

[little light]

fair

i just wait until after the BS to actually think of base building

[little light]

its somewhat limited
but i like the limitations

forcing you to think of ways to make it look like not ass

[limpid lagoon]

MM is the Big Brain adventure and BS is the stupid timed nonsense right?

[little light]

and also not die from random furniture collisions

[blissful rampart]

Yes

[little light]

yes lol

[clever canyon]

Did anyone ask who would even watch hours of gamma footage to make sure the runs are legit?

[little light]

i never see someone call MM Big brain adventure

[little light]

no

i mean normal vc ers would prob watch

theyre there already for 24hrs

[limpid lagoon]

I am not being disrespectful - even all these years later I still like that part of the game

[clever canyon]

[limpid lagoon]

When making a base - is collision a big headache?

[blissful rampart]

not really

maybe with doors, but with other furniture i didn't notice such

[limpid lagoon]

I have only done much simpler things - lights, placing things on the floor, posters

[little light]

you're main headache are furnitures randomly killing you

[blissful rampart]

🤫

[little light]

[limpid lagoon]

Imagine losing a hardcore run that way

[near estuary]

the timer is trivial
it's like 11 minutes and only one exo mono can spawn, the rest are easy pickings

[blissful rampart]

Like you said, you have no reason to worry about getting stuck in furniture since it barely depends on you

[limpid lagoon]

@near estuary - I thought it was far less time - I must be remembering wrong

[little light]

is this true

[near estuary]

yes

[little light]

i swear the first mono on the door was a noso

or at least the model

[near estuary]

originally, it was 7 minutes and many exos could spawn

which was fine imo

[little light]

ik its prob random everytime but i was so baffled

[near estuary]

then the time was increased

which was fine also

then the enemies got basically castrated

so the entire thing just feels like a speedbump now

if it was up to me, I'd keep one or the other at least

[little light]

i might try redone again with ZCP

[near estuary]

I'm an unc so Imma go off a little

[little light]

if alife plus ends up underwhelming or smth

[little light]

bye unc

[limpid lagoon]

I am happy to learn it is easier - I thought I was very well prepared last time I tried it - around a year ago?

[near estuary]

them kids nowadays are too used to videogames giving them everything on the first try

[blissful rampart]

that's not bad

[near estuary]

I still remember the days when it was COMPLETELY NORMAL to "get stuck" on a boss or hard area

[limpid lagoon]

I kept dying like crazy - it was not fun

[near estuary]

I'm not saying put Nosorogs in the Cordon car park

but like

BS should be at least somewhat of a challenge

[little light]

im saying put nosorogs in cordon

[near estuary]

as of now, it isn't

[little light]

at least 1

[blissful rampart]

how would you increase BS difficulty?

place more enemies? increase their hp? that's bad gamedesigning imo

[near estuary]

decrease the timer or make the enemies stronger

[little light]

or the impossible
make the ai combat better

[limpid lagoon]

Last time I played MM it was exactly as hard as I think it should be

[near estuary]

MM is fine imo

[little light]

i enjoyed doing miracle machine

[limpid lagoon]

I dont mind they made it easier though - referring to more time

[near estuary]

there's no timer in MM

[little light]

so does redone version of BS made it like the og or something

cause i liked that more

[limpid lagoon]

Sorry I mean BS

[near estuary]

you want even more time?

what are you doing in there

[limpid lagoon]

No - you said they added more time - I dont mind that they gave more time

[near estuary]

oh

yeah, the time on its own is fine by me

it's just that the enemies were also nerfed

[limpid lagoon]

How badly were they nerfed?

[near estuary]

a lot

[limpid lagoon]

Like wielding pistols?

[near estuary]

can't give the exact figures

[near estuary]

nah, not that bad

[blissful rampart]

x10_timer_restrictor.ltx
just decrease start_value from 650000 (11 minutes), to, for example, 400000 (7 minutes)

miliseconds

[near estuary]

[blissful rampart]

and make it a mod for #1035807043933720576

[near estuary]

yknow

[limpid lagoon]

Its great how many changes you can make to the game

[near estuary]

I might just do that

[blissful rampart]

at this point just revert that one commit where bs became easier

or fuck it

I WONDER

[blissful rampart]

looks nice idk

[limpid lagoon]

I want to see how GAMMA handles replacers

[marsh bridge]

theres a way better mod than this one

[little light]

but why the first

[blissful rampart]

[near estuary]

the one that is just Jill Valentine?

[marsh bridge]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/hip-kardashian

[limpid lagoon]

For that exact reason - to see how it works

[near estuary]

kill yourself

[little light]

[limpid lagoon]

Probably a good idea to start small adding my own mods until I learn more about how they work

[marsh bridge]

this addon is almost at its 5 year anniversary

[limpid lagoon]

Other replacers I found sexualized Hip - not at all interested in that

[blissful rampart]

[blissful rampart]

[limpid lagoon]

Was the ability to BUY crafting books improved? I might have it wrong since its been a long time - can you buy more crafting books from Traders with the new update?

Better way to ask would be - is it easier to get skill books now?

[little light]

you buy crafting recipes from technicians

its all already available since day 1

just paywallrd

idk how it was previously

[limpid lagoon]

I really did mean Technicians - and if they are all available from day 1 then thats definately a change

Anyone know if the next update adds new weapons/armors?

[median ridge]

I think so

Some new mods got included

[mint copper]

technicians are all available from day 1, that not a change tho, thats just how it always was

[blissful rampart]

weapons yes, armors no

[limpid lagoon]

Any interesting weapons aside from the shotgun/pistol ?

[marsh bridge]

bigger pistol

[blissful rampart]

for example mac10, uzi, car15 with mod kits (they look fire)

car15 admin

and i kinda liked the recoil

[limpid lagoon]

Always nice to have more choices - enjoyed the ISG weapons last playthrough

[limpid lagoon]

Yantar underground doesnt have any secret areas does it? Everything you see in the main quest is all there is correct?

[blissful rampart]

No i don't think so, nothing secret

[limpid lagoon]

Agroprom Underground > Yantar Underground - but I like both of their level designs

[near estuary]

this is all you get
SoC section + CS section

[errant oar]

There's more to it than just the bandit squad and Strelok's hideaway.

[placid thistle]

this is agroprom, not yantar

[limpid lagoon]

I was talking about the Miracle Machine area in Yantar Underground

[placid thistle]

X16 doesn't have any secret area, it's pretty much a corridor

[errant oar]

Oh, missed that. Then yes, the main story corridor is all there is.

[limpid lagoon]

I was just refreshing my memory - been awhile since I played any STALKER games including GAMMA

[placid thistle]

And the combined Agroprom CS + SOC is only in mods

Can't access the base undergrounds in CS if i'm not mistaken

[near estuary]

brainfart moment for me
I automatically link "underground" to the agroprom underground
never seen anyone referring to the X-16 in a similar manner

[placid thistle]

but it's pretty much a corridor anyway

[placid thistle]

Yantar Underground is weird to me too, don't worry

Is the support channel still off limits by the way?

I'm having this weird bug where i can't see my weapon, nor my psy health for some reason

[limpid lagoon]

Its amusing to me that easily 90% of any problems I had with GAMMA went away after closing the game and reloading it

[placid thistle]

i did it, four times

reloaded previous saves

nothing is happening

[limpid lagoon]

I am not suggesting thats what is happening with you

[placid thistle]

Yeah yeah, but i tried at least

[limpid lagoon]

I know the frustration with things NOT working with GAMMA

[placid thistle]

trying to change area, i'll see

but this means that support is still off limits is that it?

[errant oar]

Support is off limits until the launcher update, uh, launches. Which will probably be tomorrow. Probably.

[prisma cloak]

is the update still for tomorrow?

or nah

[errant oar]

Should be, yes.

[prisma cloak]

hopefully

[placid thistle]

Okay, so did anyone had this bug already ?
Impossible to see my weapon, i can't see my psy health, idk why, tried reloading, tried so launch the game back and forth, reloading HUD, can't see shit

[errant oar]

The new beta launcher version is working well behind the scenes, AFAIK. They're just running it through a few more tests before they launch it.

[blissful rampart]

!hud

[dawn marten]

@placid thistle
Can't see the HUD anymore (ammo counter, PSY bar, mini-map and interaction dot marks are missing)?

• Press Numpad Enter if you can't see it at all.
• If you have a TKL keyboard without Numpad - go to Settings > Video > UI/HUD, turn on HUD: show
• Or press H if you can see something but not everything.

Only the mini-map is missing?

• Press /

Missing health system (BHS) interface?

• Press H

Can't see weapons or devices when you equip them?

• Go to Settings > Visual > UI/HUD, turn on Show Weapon

[prisma cloak]

I mean, it's good they're making sure, last thing anybody would want is an update that turns out to have a very specific and fatal bug

I'd rather late than never because of that

[placid thistle]

Thanks, mate, what a chad

[limpid lagoon]

@blissful rampart - very useful info

[placid thistle]

weird that it deactivated

[limpid lagoon]

If I could take a screenshot I would

[blissful rampart]

Take the screenshot now

[limpid lagoon]

I am using work hardware - no ability to take a screenshot

[blissful rampart]

[limpid lagoon]

Instead of working I am planning a strategy to get a thermal scope ASAP

[hollow wadi]

Surely you can Win + Shift + S

[placid thistle]

[limpid lagoon]

LOL - someone tried it last Wednesday - and got a 30 minute chat with HR

[blissful rampart]

You can fuck around in discord but can't make screenshots

[limpid lagoon]

We had a real POS worker ruin internet for everyone

[blissful rampart]

Anyway if you need more infos like that one you're free to ping me

[limpid lagoon]

I am more than allowed to bide my time online

[blissful rampart]

Hopefully i know what to answer

[limpid lagoon]

Where is the best location to farm ISG weapons?

[placid thistle]

i'll do it, just weird that it disabled itself

load the game, have nothing displayed no more for no reasons

the zone works in mysterious ways

[blissful rampart]

Sometimes that due to controller

Sometimes by itself

[rain nova]

ISG dudes spawn a lot more in the north in my experience

[placid thistle]

ain't even see a controller, i was just chilling in the army warehouses ready to wipeout some mercs

[blissful rampart]

[limpid lagoon]

@rain nova I have seen a fair number there too - any locations I can get to before Miracle Machine is finished?

[rain nova]

I've never seen one in the south sadly, though I think they might spawn there very very rarely?

[hexed moat]

do we have any info if the 0.9.5 update will also be available on GOG on the 8th of may aswell? or will that come later?

[placid thistle]

In Darkscape they can spawn

Most of the time i find them dead there though

[blissful rampart]

#╟🔰☢newbies-chat message

[hexed moat]

thank you

[blissful rampart]

God knows how long does it take for gog to update games

[limpid lagoon]

So they CAN spawn even early game in Garbage and Swamp as well as the train area in Darkscape

I am guessing with very low odds

[blissful rampart]

From what i know, isg starts spawning after Living Legend 4th quest or after getting psy-helm.

[respawn@pri_a17]
spawn_chimera
spawn_isg

[spawn_isg]
spawn_squads = isg_sim_squad_advanced, isg_sim_squad_veteran
spawn_num = {+living_legend_psy_helmet} 2, 0

Wait we are talking about isg rigt?

[placid thistle]

yes

[blissful rampart]

My brain wasn't braining for a sec

[placid thistle]

Too much Brain Scorcher

I know what it is

[limpid lagoon]

So then the correct information is they will definately not spawn at the start of the game? They need those 2 conditions to spawn?

[prisma cloak]

[placid thistle]

yes

[limpid lagoon]

Or I guess one of those conditions

[blissful rampart]

One of

[limpid lagoon]

Thanks for that - thats useful information

I didnt know you can eventually buy thermal scopes from Skinflint - the Freedom trader

I have never seen him sell them

Any ISG weapon enjoyers in here?

[placid thistle]

i'm a sledgehammer enjoyer sorry

[spark anvil]

here here

[limpid lagoon]

I tried many weapons in GAMMA but the one I like most is the RD-74M

Definately farming for that thing as soon as I can

[viral sail]

Figures once I get into the game again there's an update coming within a month smh

anyways first time finding this spot here in jupiter underground with a working car, how's it for a base?

[stark wyvern]

the update is actually coming out tomorrow

[limpid lagoon]

I use the house with the Tech in Rostok and the Boat as my only 2 bases. And the laundromat of course.

[viral sail]

I know, I meant it more in the sense that I started within this month lol

[stark wyvern]

well, hopefully tomorrow

[viral sail]

My rostok base is that one shed close to the exit into wild territory with the doors open. Somehow emission safe in there.

[ruby fossil]

why is merc ace suit considered so good? Just because elemental resistacnes? I feel like combat stats are barely better than the hybrid

[stark wyvern]

alot of belt slots

[limpid lagoon]

I imagine there will be changes to it with the update tomorrow

[ruby fossil]

Isnt it 5 like hybrid?

[limpid lagoon]

The belt slots made it VERY powerful

[stark wyvern]

it will have 6 next update iirc

[ruby fossil]

6 would be pretty broken

[limpid lagoon]

And definately the reason to use it

Easily one of the top armors

@viral sail - have you played with putting up walls or doors?

[viral sail]

Nah, took the screenshot then came here and saw the announcement on the update coming tomorrow and basically closed the game right after

[limpid lagoon]

No - I was only asking if you have experience using them - I havent tried using walls or doors yet

[viral sail]

OH yeah I have, it's a little jank and some of the toggle buttons are over other buttons- like caps lock opening the PDA when you do it to toggle.. something i forgot what it's called- but that can usually be circumvented by quicly double tapping the key which usually keeps the setting your trying to toggle toggled

[remote bane]

is the 8th really the fixed date? or should I hold my horses in regards to excitement xD

[limpid lagoon]

I might play with the walls and doors next - something different from just settling in the Techs hut

[near estuary]

it's pretty much definite

Grok has already been testing the new launcher over the last two days and reported no issues

[dense needle]

thank the gods.

[bold skiff]

"Make sure MP5K doesn't shoot HP and AP rounds but make it fit pistol slot as it is" Why limit the ammunition options?

[gusty cosmos]

how does it work with extra installed mods when i update to 0.95? will they be in the same order or will i have to re-order everything again?

[near estuary]

to make it "balanced"
Grok REALLY dislikes full-auto guns in pistol slot that can be both anti-mutant AND anti-stalker

no, don't ask how the Glock Hornet exists, it will break this conversation

[near estuary]

probably have to re-order

!backup // or this

[dawn marten]

@near estuary

[gusty cosmos]

got me fucked up

[spark anvil]

how long are the stalkers gonna be mad at me for after i kinda shot a couple stalkers near rookie village and i kinda need to trade with sidor because he buys basically anything

[sharp sorrel]

sucks my weekend is basically just spent waiting for 0.9.5

the question is, Clear Sky or not? now that them and duty are beefing

[near estuary]

yes

I'm going Duty

see you in the Zone, stalker

[valid silo]

it is funny to me how annoying rostok is now to so many factions with how much it makes traveling to different areas easy especially early game

[near estuary]

it's fine imo

[mint copper]

all stalkers in the same squad belonging to the people you shot will try to kill you on sight forever, only way to stop that is to kill all squad members

[valid silo]

it is I've played around it with an isg character but it usually does add another map to traverse

[near estuary]

say you want from Army Warehouses to Garbage as let's say merc
you go to Rostok, then immediately Wild Territory, then Garbage

quite easy

[sharp sorrel]

Rostok is kinda busted ngl, horde supplies there and you can get like 8 quests done every day for just running around giving items to people

[valid silo]

behold civilization

[glossy drift]

Fast travel to backpack stashes gang don't know that pain

[valid silo]

civilization kinda busted

[sharp sorrel]

practically Yanov is better imo, but then you have to have access to the north, deal with the bad performance, and be friends to freedom

[near estuary]

fast travel

[near estuary]

deal with the bad performance
yeah, was about to say

[glossy drift]

Killing Zhuk usually deals with the bad frames

[valid silo]

as a duty guy I just go to skadovsk

[sharp sorrel]

is that being helped with in 0.9.5?

[near estuary]

probably?

[sharp sorrel]

Zhuk?

[near estuary]

I still hate CoP areas, even if I exclude the performance issues

[valid silo]

people have bad performance in jupiter?

[sharp sorrel]

yeah pretty universally

[near estuary]

yeah, it's notorious for that

[valid silo]

I've never noticed it lmao

[near estuary]

spawn scripts not scripting

[glossy drift]

Yea it's the scientist dressed in white in the building next to Yanov, he's tied to noone so you can just kill him

[valid silo]

I usually stay in zaton though when I'm in the north though so

[near estuary]

zaton is a bit better, tho it doesn't avoid my wrath

cuz again, cop area

[sharp sorrel]

and that helps FPS?

[valid silo]

I just think the swamp in zaton at sunset is the prettiest place in game lol

[glossy drift]

Jupiter usually is more populated for me so I tend to gravitate there

[near estuary]

I'd rather have the actual swamp

[glossy drift]

Yea memory leaks he causes drop frames like crazy, that usually fixes the issue

Tho there is a lot of people so your frames will be lower by default

[blissful rampart]

And no-one ever tried digging into his logic or maybe model

[valid silo]

I like the verticality of zaton and the ships of course

[sharp sorrel]

or, if hes unimportant enough to shoot, just removing him

[near estuary]

iirc, someone said it's caused by his pathing or something

[blissful rampart]

[glossy drift]

But rn the best fix is to kill him

[blissful rampart]

so just place him anywhere and let him stand there, it's not that hard

[sharp sorrel]

well I'll tell you how that goes in 0.9.5 whenever I get to the north

[blissful rampart]

you're a modder after all

[glossy drift]

Even when standing he leaks

[near estuary]

sir yes sir

the larp goes on

[valid silo]

probably one my favorite clips

[thick sedge]

FAHHHHHH!!!

[blissful rampart]

yeah maybe that's because the game cannot find paths, idk really, i'd try to fix him personally

[blissful rampart]

not enoguh time with all that study

[little light]

you can fix him

[blissful rampart]

anytime I go to 100 rads and the funny counterstrike montage song is on

[glossy drift]

I mean I'm talking abouy his standing idle anim where he just mesures out the air around him, he's not trying to move I don't think so maybe the leaks are in his update loop or something

[little light]

why bother have him in the game

just delete him

[blissful rampart]

because you need him for arthunter, otherwise you can't continue

[glossy drift]

Or kill

[little light]

i never did it fully so i didnt know

[glossy drift]

Same

[little light]

i thought all the eggs share a universal quest

[blissful rampart]

the questline is ass anyway

[glossy drift]

Why do it then ?

[blissful rampart]

apart from laggy prof Zhuk, you can get crashes at CNPP when taking another quest

it's just ass

[little light]

my game hasnt lagged from zhuk actually

[valid silo]

I mentally larp as a former omon guy when playing duty ngl

[little light]

tho i just got to jupiter like

[blissful rampart]

yeah that's what strange, some just don't lag

[little light]

3 irl hours of playtime

tho in previous runs he also doesnt lag soooo

idk

[sharp sorrel]

not that I am an expert in the insane thing we're doing here with this modpack, but are we incapable of moving his function to some other NPC?

[little light]

could also be some SSS fuckery for whatever reason

cause i have mine off

[blissful rampart]

we are, that's the easiest thing i'd say

[glossy drift]

Yea stay in Jupiter for an hour or 2 and watch your frames die near Yanov

[little light]

i have my base in yanov lol

[blissful rampart]

but in the end of the questline Zhuk still appears to thank us for the work done

[glossy drift]

Damn nice rig then

[little light]

nope

i got a fucking stove as a machine brother

[glossy drift]

Wtf

[little light]

[glossy drift]

Nice luck then brother

[sharp sorrel]

you can tweak settings to favor performance pretty hard in gamma

if you try

I just dont wanna because game pretty

[thick sedge]

simply not use sss

[little light]

sss is ass

unnecessary tax on performance

[glossy drift]

Yea if you want your game to look like a PS1 game, true

[little light]

graphics look nice

but damn dude

cook me alive

[thick sedge]

I can make my non sss game look pretty just oldschool or what they call it old stalker

[sharp sorrel]

PS1 game still better than unplayable

[thick sedge]

the pretty part be like: better shaders/shadow casting

[valid silo]

guy who is like I can only play skyrim morrowind looks too old!!!

[glossy drift]

I don't disagree that's how I played games on my shitty ass laptop in 2010-2015

ngl if you look at games like splinter cell or gran turismo 4 they were hot dawg

[little light]

praying that one dude who says hes remaking the engine in c++

updating

[blissful rampart]

yeah that too

[valid silo]

alife plus

[blissful rampart]

there's cheekibreeki's video explaining all new stuff that's being added

[thick sedge]

I don't even know how many games I finished waiting for that

[valid silo]

yeah man how could agents in areas with behaviors greater than just stand in a location or walk from one entrance to another exit create greater emergent gameplay

[thick sedge]

effort to make spawn locations different and immersive which means a change of metagame!

waiting for that day that other factions can claim bases

[valid silo]

to me that is an entirely different kind of game

[dense needle]

I'd say multithreading is the biggest thing coming

[grizzled dove]

howd i update gamma

[valid silo]

I know clearsky did it but imo doesn't really fit imo

[sick yoke]

Wait until the 8th

[wild harbor]

DONT UPDATE

it will break ur game

[hushed pier]

dont stand in the way of natural selection

[limpid lagoon]

Is there a practical reason to NOT delete my old GAMMA files?

[tranquil apex]

cant wait for tomorrow

[limpid lagoon]

@tranquil apex - what faction do you want to try with the update?

[near estuary]

some weirdass sentimentality maybe

[limpid lagoon]

I admit that might have been a dumb question

[near estuary]

I know you didn't ask shit from me, but I'm gonna do this

[limpid lagoon]

Will be an interesting challenge - especially the lack of artifacts

[glossy drift]

only gripe about that is fentanyl in this case is not a bad drug, other than that pretty cool challenge

[limpid lagoon]

I am a huge fan of the easter egg hunt for artifacts

[near estuary]

I might reconsider

[near estuary]

tbh, I don't like the CS/CoP detector system

I much preferred the SoC system, where artefacts are plentiful but also less valuable

[glossy drift]

also are you gonna use the Cheeki mod that allows 2 pelts or nah ?

[near estuary]

nope

[glossy drift]

damn

[near estuary]

pelts are still allowed tho

[glossy drift]

fair

[limpid lagoon]

I actually like the changes to the artifacts with GAMMA

[near estuary]

I thought about banning them but it seemed a little too much

[glossy drift]

yea you wouldn't have much to put on in belt slots

[near estuary]

balance-wise, removal of rads and containers, totally agree
the main method of obtaining them is still the same tho

[glossy drift]

surge cap, plates, maybe body cooler

[near estuary]

ye

[glossy drift]

and like canteen or whatever give stam regen

[near estuary]

gonna be something of a nostalgia trip back to 2023 where I just ignored artefacts in GAMMA due to laziness

[limpid lagoon]

So you dont like how you OBTAIN them? The rest is okay?

[near estuary]

yeah

[limpid lagoon]

I can understand that

[glossy drift]

honestly I would too if equipments were a bit better

[near estuary]

SoC just felt more "organic"

[glossy drift]

we'll see how good they are in 0.9.5

[near estuary]

in CS and CoP (and GAMMA), you have to go out of your way into anomaly fields

[limpid lagoon]

SoC was my hands down favorite of the series

[near estuary]

the atmosphere is just...

[limpid lagoon]

Its the atmosphere that kept me coming back to the game so often

[near estuary]

it's peak

[valid silo]

the cunning zenit sniper

[glossy drift]

one tapping it actually works as a sniper tho

[valid silo]

it also being able to use the uber 7.62 ap is funny too(I prefer this scope for it)

[glossy drift]

older version? 'cause I swear it can't anymore

[valid silo]

gog version so if it changed I'll be sad

[glossy drift]

I think it did rip

you'll have the change in 0.9.5

[valid silo]

with armor break it'll be less an issue

[glossy drift]

fair, but even now, the 7.62x54R PK ammo or however it's called still slaps through armored enemies

[valid silo]

54R PP iirc

one of the most efficient ammo crafting recipes too iirc

[glossy drift]

ah yes PP

that's right

[glossy drift]

I think it is THE most efficient one tbf

[valid silo]

54r pp and 9x39 being crazy efficient will never not be funny to me

[glossy drift]

it is wild

[valid silo]

sometimes I think of the funny molot sks with the lvpo in 7.62x54r

[limpid lagoon]

Looking forward to seeing how the armor works

[glossy drift]

yea same

[atomic pebble]

This map it's expanded in The Exception

[glossy drift]

armor rework and CS changes are what I want most

[near estuary]

[limpid lagoon]

CS refers to what?

[glossy drift]

clear sky

[frigid gyro]

nah must be customer service

[glossy drift]

they get duty as enemies

[limpid lagoon]

Not sure what to think of that honestly

[glossy drift]

I'm looking forward to it since I never used Rostok and I'll be able to get freedom rep fast now

[valid silo]

is duty one of the least friendly factions now? just eco, loners, and military

[glossy drift]

I'm a Yantar base scrub for some reason

[glossy drift]

yea Loners, Military, Eggheads and themselves

[valid silo]

bandits is just freedom, and mercs right?

[glossy drift]

and renegades

so Bandits and Duty same amount of allies now, but Duty can natively do the storyline

[limpid lagoon]

I will be playing a Loner again - it just feels right to me

[glossy drift]

you do you, I just like the swamps for some reason and the colors of the faction

[limpid lagoon]

Colors are nice - the blue is fancy

[glossy drift]

I'm tempted to modify Freedom relations to be enemies with Bandits so I can play them more since I also like the colors of Freedom late game armors

[solar tiger]

what exactly are the criteria for just recruiting stalkers as your companions?

bc as a merc it was really easy to get experienced-expert comapnions, but only rookie/trainee loners show the option most times. is it a rank differential thing? or something else

[wanton mortar]

😍😍

[atomic pebble]

I played it a bit but supposedly is great if u like exploration

[mint copper]

!companions

[dawn marten]

@solar tiger
To recruit random stalkers as companions:

1. Talk to the leader of the squad.
2. The size of the squad must be within your limit (by default you can't have more than one companion at the time).
3. Your rank value must be at least 1.5 times higher than that of the squad leader.
4. Squad leader must consider you friendly (depends on your rank, reputation, faction relations and more).

Requirements 3 and 4 don't apply to paid companions, but they are rarer overall and can only be found among Loners, Bandits, Mercenaries and Freedom.
If you wish to be able to recruit more stalkers, in-game, open Mod Configuration Menu > Custom Companion Squad Size, and drag the sliders found within to the right.

[solar tiger]

thanks

[solar tiger]

man the clear sky swamp base is so cool, prbably my favorite faction base, and i wish there was something like it in zaton because the skvadosk alone is kinda boring

[void briar]

Same man, I just wish it wasn’t in the absolute bottom left of the entire global map

[silk stream]

most factions def need some more presence in the north, its pretty much just freedom, loners and ecologists

if you dont count monolith

[void briar]

Skadovsk probably could’ve been a partial Duty base, then we’d have an analogue of Yanov but for not-Freedom

Well actually, it’s friendly to Duty anyways, so I guess it doesn’t matter outside of trader rep

[snow iris]

I read in the announcements about 0.9.5 possibly breaking a 0.9.4 save (ive just started a new save the other day before i saw it). Are there plans to add a compatibility fix?

[unborn tendon]

the almighty grok shall grace us tomorrow with the miracle of save crashing........my saveeeeeee

[unborn tendon]

most likely not. though the 0.9.5 will add a bunch of neat stuff so honestly since you started recently restarting won't make too much of a pain

meanwhile me with my week+ old save now

[snow iris]

pain

[livid plover]

If i'm looking to just use a mod to recreate the GAMMA traders what is it?

Looking to do a lightweight mod build for steamdeck

[night sigil]

Wym recreate the GAMMA traders

[livid plover]

like no selling weapons etc.

[night sigil]

What feature exactly

[livid plover]

so you have to work your way up repairing etc.

[night sigil]

Uhhhhh that should just be WPO I think, Weapon Parts Overhaul, but somebody should correct me

@frank oxide

[frank oxide]

Weapon Parts Overhaul is the separation of parts from main gun condition, its one step to having a lighter weight GAMMA

no gun trading.... eh well there was one russian mod for all vanilla guns and the bas ones, but i can't find it
guess you can always not interact with that part of the game

[livid plover]

I will be tempted, i'm not a good person

thanks though!

[solar chasm]

So that'd basically be modding trader stuff, which isn't too hard but afaik you kinda have to do it manually for each gun on each trader?

Very tedious

[livid plover]

ahh i was hoping there was some mod out there that just blocked guns/armour from their loadout

[solar chasm]

And you can't just copy gamma files either cos that affects their entire stock

[limpid lagoon]

Anyone know what season the game starts in with the next update?

[solar chasm]

Er

A green one

:L

[limpid lagoon]

Played my entire last playthrough in the fall and want to try maybe spring or summer this time

[graceful merlin]

anyone taking bets on whether the host will crash tomorrow?

[blissful rampart]

I think it will

[graceful merlin]

i'm hyped. i was watching some streamers play the preview build yesterday and it looks awesome. a lot of sick changes

[limpid lagoon]

@graceful merlin - what were the sick changes you watched?

[proper spindle]

Does anyone know if GOG GAMMA will be updated and playable tomorrow with 095?

[graceful merlin]

CS and Duty opposed, auto turn-in of completed quests, no rewards for stalker kill quests if you or your party doesn't damage the target (also no rep loss in this case)

[limpid lagoon]

Auto turn in of completed quests would be great

[bitter parrot]

It should be? I would assume.

[keen bronze]

It will be

Maybe not right away, but it will

[plush lintel]

Is there a specific hour set?

[limpid lagoon]

Do I need to keep my old Anomaly folders? 1.5.2? Or can I delete them and get everything I need tomorrow?

[blissful ivy]

1.5.2? in this economy?

[twin timber]

[limpid lagoon]

Like most things - getting very different information - some saying you need the anomaly folders, some saying you need the old GAMMA folder and some saying all the files needed will be available tomorrow

[twin timber]

What?

[tall jolt]

Does anyone know the difference between the r700 magpull and gen3? They seem to be the exact same thing but with different camo to me

[twin timber]

Same shit, different appearance

The one kit that gives a difference is the archangel, that has a beefy magazine of 20 boolets

[tall jolt]

Fuck yeah, so the only difference is between the 20 round mag or the rmr canted

[twin timber]

However, not all scopes the others get are available for it...

[tall jolt]

None of them get scopes

[twin timber]

Oh and the archangel doesn't have the canted

[tall jolt]

They all just have their default

[twin timber]

They can equip the IRX thermal scope

[tall jolt]

Which i think is a 20x?

[twin timber]

And the nightvision one too

[tall jolt]

Oh yeah, none of them get good sniper scopes

I can’t use thermals and i already have nvg’s on my head so i don’t have a point in those, especially with the super low zoom

[twin timber]

Super low? damn bro, if you can't aim with the remington scope then you're hopeless

Only the march-F can satisfy your long eye syndrome

[tall jolt]

?

[tall jolt]

The irx is a 1x and the pn-23 is a 1-6x. Not exactly useful for a sniper role

[twin timber]

They don't replace the remington scope

They're added in front of it

Basically just add a thermal or NVG filter to the scope that's already there

[tall jolt]

Oh, that mean you can get extra magnification with the pn-23?

[twin timber]

Nope

Only the NVG capability

[tall jolt]

Welp, still pointless for me then

Ah well

[twin timber]

Also is the IRX even possible to equip on anything that's not a fixed scope sniper?

[tall jolt]

Fug if i know

We don’t get the luxury of seeing what weapons a scope goes onto unless we delve into the files

[twin timber]

I know it can go to the remington, barrett m93, AWSM and the SV-98 i think

Oh and forester's blue shitty rifle

[limpid lagoon]

Will I need any files or folders to use the update tomorrow? Does 0.9.5 need old GAMMA or Anomaly files?

[tall jolt]

The guide will be updated when it comes out if anything changes

[twin timber]

I'd keep them

It'll make it so you don't need to redownload the whole game

Also why would you remove the anomaly files

You do have anomaly 1.5.3, right?

[limpid lagoon]

I am asking because I deleted mu old GAMMA folder and that might be something I need moving forward

[twin timber]

Well if it's already gone you'll just redownload everything with the launcher

[tall jolt]

Yeppers

[twin timber]

No need to stress about it, but it'll take a long while

[limpid lagoon]

So all that I need to do is just download the new launcher tomorrow and take it from there

[tall jolt]

Aww, you can’t get the deer hunter kit anymore? :(

[tall jolt]

Yip

[twin timber]

Ye

[twin timber]

Nein

Only drop the whole gun from some unlucky stalker

[tall jolt]

yeah i already did

[limpid lagoon]

It was a total accident deleting my GAMMA folder but - meh - Ive done dumber things

[tall jolt]

I was just hoping to fix up a remy700 and then put the kit on so i didn’t have to get expert tools to change the barrel

[tall jolt]

The archangel also doesn’t have an illuminated reticle. Damn that shit’s a bad trade off

[twin timber]

It doesnt? i could swear it had

[spring remnant]

Audio Expansion did not make it into the update 😔

[limpid lagoon]

Just checked and I have anomaly 1.5.2 not 1.5.3

Probaby a good idea to download that version then I am guessing

[tall jolt]

Unless it’s hiding from me, nope

[tall jolt]

That probably won’t change but it very much could do

Given it’s only 10 gig i’d wait but it’s up to you

[twin timber]

You sure?

[limpid lagoon]

I will download it - just wait to unzip it I guess

[spring remnant]

yes im sure, thats something else afaik

[ripe lagoon]

it would have to be really good to justify the 2 gb install

[spring remnant]

It does look really good but i also havent tried it so yeah who knows

[cunning pier]

i completely forgot that i dont need to kill bandits 😭

[little light]

fuck em anyways

[cunning pier]

true

[tall jolt]

Anyone know why the “why we can’t have nice things” apcs won’t move when you turn on the engine?

[hollow prawn]

I didn’t even know you could get in them tbh

I just blow them up since that’s what the quest is

[tall jolt]

Yeah you can enter them. Had to hop around for a while but eventually found the entrance is at the back right, can fire the gun and turn on the engine but i’ve seen people drive them and couldn’t manage it myself

[hollow prawn]

H u h. Does the gun destroy the other APCs?

[tall jolt]

No

[hollow prawn]

Lame, that would have been a cool way to complete the mission

[tall jolt]

Main benefit is you can move them all together and use less explosives for the four

[nocturne nova]

tomorrow is the big day finally

[tall jolt]

Just picked up a “rifle dynamics RD-74N ISG tactical” with all it’s massive fucken description. Only to see that every single stat bar a little damage and fire rate is a negative against an ak-74 pmc. Breh

[errant oar]

Base stats tend to lie, most obviousily handling and recoil, neither of which have any real bearing on how the weapon handles/recoils.

[blissful ivy]

honestly, just play the damn game and kill people

doesnt matter

[tall jolt]

I know, i fired both of them to test how they exactly handled and there was hardly any difference

[blissful ivy]

make number bigger = good, how good? who fucking cares

[tall jolt]

But i get excited when i see a green barrel d weapon on some max rank monos in cordon and then get sad when it’s shitter than my current c weapon

Alto the numbers were smaller

[blissful ivy]

i just kill people man, i dont work here

[valid silo]

rd-74 is the best suppressor capable 5.45 ar in game lol

[blissful ivy]

ak-74 pmc is better but sure mate

more accessible, and better

[tall jolt]

Pzz, less rounds than my current gun

[blissful ivy]

that too ^

[atomic pebble]

Zaton is boring

[blissful ivy]

this is factual

zaton is basically the most boring of the "good" maps

jupiter is at least varied

[tall jolt]

Besides, i’ve already picked up an AWSM from garbage and the modular 100 round lmg from the radar BM run so as soon as i get expert tools i’m good

[blissful ivy]

which lmg?

[tall jolt]

I just got exited for the green barrel

[blissful ivy]

pkp?

[tall jolt]

I think it’s called a pecheng?

[blissful ivy]

pkp yeah

[valid silo]

my understanding is rd has better rof and control
