maybe this week i will try to see if i can change it

Hi there. So I have an possible idea: there are a lot of different materials in different suits, but one suit has only one set of them. If it possible to make armor more tuneble by allowing to use all of them? For example we can make slots with categories: bullet protection, inner layer, outer layer, some slots for anomaly protection.

#

wdym

#

free form craftable suits?

low jasper
#

Or just parametes tweaking

#

I can call it Desolation mod, but for armor

random fulcrum
#

probably never

#

imagine all of the outfits you'd have to define

#

for all of the combinations

#

not only that but balance would be thrown out the window

#

it's not like slapping a scope in different picatinny slots

#

artis already provide rough but enough outfit customization anyways

#

Is there anything in the files I can edit to make companion weapon barrels not degrade? There's already a ton of micromanagement to deal with in the game and I shouldn't have to babysit Duty vets in cleaning their guns...

Hello , is there a mod that adds furniture items like tables , fridges and tv?

random fulcrum
#

have you like, played gamma?

gloomy sequoia
#

I have but the furniture options provided seem kinda lacking

random fulcrum
#

there's a tutorial hanging around here to add new furniture

#

iirc it was really easy

gloomy sequoia
#

By that you mean making them placeable like the ones in the hideout furniture mod?

#

I was using debug mode earlier haha so this would be a godsend

gloomy sequoia
#

Nevermind it is included with the download of the mod on moddb

#

Reading it now it seems kinda hard

idk what decorative props are available to convert, but if you get some stuff you're happy with post it down in #🖇old-mods-posting & ping me. If not I'll probably mess around with it sometime tomorrow once I wake up

then it was just a rumor^^

bronze linden
#

I've decided to put a mod together, it's not very complex but... it does involve quite a lot of .ltx file editing and nolifing lul

random fulcrum
#

and what is it about

bronze linden
#

Making an alternate lore thing where some weapons do manage to slip by, with very low chances of any particular one showing up
Also low chances as a way to not blast the trader menu

#

I did manage to get it working in a test at least, but that wasn't too bad

#

I'm trying to base it on what I imagine are the real life possibilities of something showing up, such as a PMM being way more likely than a German police pistol etc

gloomy sequoia
#

You can make pistols in general more common since lore wise it should be easier to smuggle in than say a AWM / Remington

bronze linden
#

Yeah, I'm trying to think of some angles here, any ideas are of course appreciated tho :V

gloomy sequoia
#

Would pricing be cheaper for certain factions?

bronze linden
#

I'll try to make stuff relevant to their respective factions/traders: For example, Sidorovich is mostly gonna sell WW2 stuff with very low chances of anything showing up

#

More like a "huh neat" thing when you pop over there to look after doing some bandit hunt mission

gloomy sequoia
#

Ahh

#

I see

bronze linden
#

The Monolith trader is gonna be somewhat nuts in variety, but not so much in supply for example

#

Whereas Sidorovich would probably not sell much at all other than "psst take a look at this ;-)" because of his proximity to the Cordon

#

Or well, basically your starter gear with some additions

gloomy sequoia
#

I guess

#

At most i think he'll have some old german ww2 rifles or pistols

bronze linden
#

You hit the nail on the head! lol

unknown.png
#

I set it to 0.99 because I want to make a version that people can mess around with (also haven't figured out yet)

#

So you can just hit ctrl - h and replace 0.99 with whatever u feel like

gloomy sequoia
#

Thats nice

#

Looking forward to your mod

bronze linden
#

Thank you, it's going to take 3 years tho

#

but eventually™️

gloomy sequoia
#

eventually

bronze linden
#

Cus I gotta edit every single trader and figure this out, I don't just wanna slap 300 guns into tier 1 for them

#

cursed_gamma

unknown.png
#

It'll be made as a patch for the regular Gamma Economy mod once it's done

#

I don't know how to change what prices traders ask for, but I'll possibly work on that for them selling you weapons

#

But yeah it'll be way less "Time to change all of Gamma bby" and way more like a little extra thing where you can go "I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR ONE OF THESE FOR 8 HOURS AND IT JUST RANDOMLY POPS UP?!?!?!?!"

bronze linden
#

Okay so it does work and all the weapons show up, neat, I'll have to continue tomorrow tho since me sleepy

#

And the prices to sell the guns are terrible, can't make money that way at least
(18500 to buy ppsh, 4400 to sell)

gloomy sequoia
#

Might be too much work for 1 mod but you could add a trade in system for weapons

#

like 3 aks for one 50% hp M4

bronze linden
#

Oh, sorry I don't know scripting at all, I'm just making edits to already existing files

gloomy sequoia
#

Oh my bad i don't know much about modding 😄

bronze linden
#

Yeah I'm basically just editing config files, not writing scripts that do cool stuff :V

gloomy sequoia
#

Its cool stuff nonetheless bro 👍

bronze linden
#

Thank you! Well 80% of it is just... Theorizing, I guess? And the rest is adding the values to the trader stock files

thorn stratus
#

I am playing another modpack and I noticed that some outfits there are quite unbalanced compared to what I used to play in gamma. For instance voyager stalker suit has 65kg carry weight. Are these vanilla anomaly values? And if I want to make some adjustment were would I need to go to change these outfit settings, is there a ltx file related to outfit carry weight?

#

I missed this!

#

I'm in the middle of a busy work project but in a few days I can get you dialogue

#

Do you want precanned dialogue for each type of human faction or will you dynamically add the faction to the string?

#

I think premade strings for each faction is a given , would not make sense for a dog to get the same reaction as a chimera.

lunar nimbus
#

stop right there u criminal bandit

woven mountain
#

Part 1 (Generic): "Boss I am engaging"
Part 2 (Faction Specific): "a Bandit", "a filthy thief"

I want a series of generic part ones and a series of part 2's for each faction ideally

#

I can stitch them up in the code

lunar nimbus
#

whacha guys doing? ;]

woven mountain
#

Trying to make a mod that has the ai spit out a message saying what they are engaging so you can decide to run off or not

#

Was planning on using the on danger eval callback

lunar nimbus
#

dont make it like that tarkov audio when the player states the obvious, like fighting dog 1v1 and then yell to idk who "Ah my gun jammed!!11"

woven mountain
#

More like companion saying "look, over there, bandits boss. I am engaging"

lunar nimbus
#

sounds hard to do correctly, so many things to consider ;[

#

u want it for companions only?

remote pewter
#

Yeah to fix the problem of companions firing at who knows what in the distance leaving you guessing

#

is it a bandit? is it a rat? is it a cimera? 🙂

lunar nimbus
#

i dont think u can trigger it, i dont see how companion can engage combat or react to something if this something isnt already in combat with actor ;]

#

ok u can check the distance to object and manually make them say something, but they wont engage this target until u do first (or enemy does)

remote pewter
#

hmm but hold on

#

wasn't it a problem that companions would shoot their enemies even if those enemies were not an enemy to you?

#

so a mod fixed that?

lunar nimbus
#

what mod, i dont remember this ;[

quaint needle
#

Anyone know how much work would making a syatem similar to the one of crafting ammo but for meds?

remote pewter
lunar nimbus
#

this makes other npcs to not shoot ur companion iirc

#

ur companion shouldnt engage combat unless ur in it

lunar nimbus
remote pewter
#

Companions will not attack NPCs that are neutral or friendly to the player, and those NPCs will not attack companions.

#

I feel like

#

I've had times where companions are shooting at enemies over a hill I can't see over, so im not sure

#

might be good to look at this mod's script and see whats going on

no hehe on linux atm

i feel like companions wont attack npcs regardless
ah yeah they go to fight with each other ;[

sometimes they just aggro on someone super far away

Hello. I've had this idea for awhile and wanted to share with you. What if someone made an addon that makes your character a wandering zombie after an emission. Like you start a new game and then you come across that zombie somewhere in the zone. With the gear and armor that you had previously. Is it possible to do so ?

#

I am think it should be something like Rogue like Ironmna addon. You die, but your stash stays the same even the new game is started.

#

The code should be somehow familiar. Idk, don't make fun of me I aint a coder.

tidal elbow
thin kelp
#

yes, thats the main feature of 2.0.0, a small scale sub mod or a winter npc pack, can be installed to replace all vanilla anomaly models or alongside dick

tidal elbow
thin kelp
#

Alongside portrait update, so it will be a while before i get everything done

#

done with about 1/3 of winter model factions

faint sand

wide estuary
lunar nimbus
#

on_enemy_eval checks if obj-enemy are enemies at each update i believe (even if they are already enemies)

#

i suggest making different sound file names for different factions and go with something like this:

function on_enemy_eval(obj, enemy)
    local obj_is_comp = obj and obj:alive() and obj:has_info("npcx_is_companion")
    if not (obj_is_comp) then return end

    local enemy_is_comp = enemy and enemy:alive() and enemy:has_info("npcx_is_companion")
    if enemy_is_comp then return end

    local enemy_comm = enemy:character_community()
    if not (enemy_comm) then return end

    local snd = sound_object("folder\\folder\\companion_sound_" .. enemy_comm)
    if not snd then return end

    snd:play_at_pos(obj, obj:position(), 0, sound_object.s2d)

end

also to what i said about on enemy eval, u will probably need some kind of cooldown
i dont really like this approach with this callback ;p

add a local toggler

the downside is that u cant turn it off within on_enemy_eval because its a bad callback for ur idea

woven mountain

actually, can u check if on_enemy_eval runs if theres no enemy?

#

or at least if enemy is not alive

woven mountain

Like this?

#

Misread your point. Read half of it and thought I was brilliant

lunar nimbus

if callback allows u to get something even when enemy is dead then it could work ;] npc_on_update fits better (coz idk on_enemy_eval that well)

woven mountain
#

Seems decent for my purposes

lunar nimbus
#

does it print anything in this when enemy is dead?

function on_enemy_eval(obj, enemy)
    local comp = obj and obj:alive() and obj:has_info("npcx_is_companion")
    if not comp then return end

    if enemy then
        if enemy:alive() then

in the same function? i think we figured that it doesnt run if enemy dead ;p

Are mutants counted as NPC's in the npc_on_death_callback?

lunar nimbus
#

no

woven mountain
#

Okay cool then I need both

lunar nimbus

u'll need to add some flag above regardless, else each companion is gonna send message for each enemy

and id will stay in table if u have enemy and flee, like change map

#

Is it not a global table? If you had 3 companions, the first would call out the boar, add the boar to the table and then the next 2 companions would skip calling it out.

As for map change, just wipe the table.

well not map change, i mean whenever u leave combat with an alive enemy ;p

paper oxide
#

I wanna try and implement this if possible, I find the running and walking animations of the lowered weapons a bit static. I want to place in some animations for it, there's a bug that does this. First go to third person - walk/run - whilst doing this, lower your weapon - and go back to first person without stopping. This is the result

hard vector
#

I always wondered why actor doesn’t use npc walking animations when weapon is lowered

regal bolt
#

I cannot replicate your bug, simply because my first person viewmodel disappears when switching from third person to first person
tested to see if that is just the Mosin's default animation if one is not using the lowered weapon sprint animation though, but that was not the case
I do not know what causes the larger amount of viewmodel bob when sprinting when doing what you did

paper oxide
#

This is in my own personal mod list, though mostly disabled for load time convenience 'cause I'm doing a new reposition. And I'm pretty sure those are the mosin's running animations, forgot to mention that I'm using blindeside's reanimation

I just need the "anm_" lines for move, sprint and crouch when lowered

#

I used the lower position for consistency

But the ultimate solution would be to screen all guns kept in gamma and see which ones have suitable running animations and keep them by adding a Boolean in the lower weapon running script

Easy but long to do 😭

(Time that I don’t have atm)

hey grok this is my first time modding anything really i was thinking of modding in a revolver into anomaly ive grabbed a free model i found and im gonna use that for the time being until i can figure out how to make models myself im onto animating the gun would you happen to know where i can find some sort of stalker anomaly rig to use? since i know theres that addon in gamma that makes the outfit affect the arms of your character. i was also wondering if that would somehow fuck up the animations in anyway im not entirely sure who to ask about this kind of stuff since its my first time doing anything like this so i thought the first person to ask about this stuff would be you

Hey! What's up Hammer.

#

I gave Dark a bunch of samples I wrote up on the spot, but I'm going back and editing them because they sound a little stiff. The initial response sometimes is a little clunky when strung together with an enemy faction tag. Looking at the table, I've been trying to find ways to make the lines feel like natural responses - all while providing some variety and character.

#

One of the biggest challenges I'm encountering right now is figuring out variations for how companions identify certain factions. For instance, there are only a handful of ways to identify Clear Sky without it sounding really redundant because the faction (to me) doesn't have much of a personality unlike, say, bandits.
[bandit1]="a bandit."
[bandit2]="some punk looking for an easy score.”
[bandit3]=”a thieving cutthroat.”
[bandit4]="one of Sultan’s bastards."
[bandit5]="a rat from Dark Valley."

I'm having the same sort of issue with Duty and Freedom. Neither faction of which I'm particularly a fan of, but Freedom has been a little easier to figure out because of the jokes at their expense.

woven mountain

#

True, but you could also argue that the military fulfills the same role, only way more corrupt and not good at their job.

woven mountain
bold gyro
#

Most of the members from Duty are ex-military and actually wanted to do something about the Zone when they were stranded. Despite the fact that they are abrasive, they are skilled and geared enough to take on most major threats in the Zone.

This looks cool and should give companions more character. Now when does that happen ?

I took measures so npcs don’t spot everything for you, unless you play very slowly and carefully, on purpose

Could be annoying if the player already saw the enemy imo

I tend to agree with the last commentary.
Arma bots come to mind, but that is too complex for this.
Any visual hint also feels too gamey (in-game or mini-map spotting marker)
All in all wouldn't it be interesting to use (what's supposed to be) the directional damage indicator for this?
It would give you a directional clue, and the text could serve as detailed report when more thinking is needed.

Or/and just a few variations depending on npc type, of a short whispered sound: "there!"

But good to hear it will be balanced further

#

Another solution could be that you’re only able to recruit stalkers that your own rank and below.

lunar nimbus
#

well, not hard but certainly takes time

brave prism
#

its only "easy" in the end game where your reputation and goodwill are high with a few factions

#

thonk you cant easily recruit master+ npcs before that, if at all

lunar nimbus
#

the guy presented it like he just started the game and took 2 masters at the very start xd
doing so at the point when u already have everything is not OP in my opinion

brave prism
#

with how stupid companions are and how much of an annoyance more than anything they are, i dont think they need to be gated behind anything other than reputation and goodwill with their specific faction

#

high ranking ones might tank more and hit more of their shots, but they arent much better. you will only count on them to carry shit around

tidal elbow
#

I agree with cat

#

Gate them beyond money is stupid

lunar nimbus
#

if anything, change it to recruit only npcs from ur true faction and restrict from them being friend unless something specific happened, like u healed them+ur reputation is high+ur goodwill high

tidal elbow

They're literally glorified backpacks, nothing else

considering how everyone is playing this game, tryna speedrun in the sandbox, constantly sprinting, i'd say day 6 is the end game xd

#

i've seen people buying all they want and finishing storylines in 1-2 in game weeks averagely, then they start all over again

#

this is my observation of vanilla, in 6 days u can get goodwill, reputation at max and high enough rank to recruit masters.. according to changes in gamma it casualize some aspects of the game even more which i assume also plays the role here 🤷‍♂️

undone lily
#

When you know everything really well and depending on rng, it’s possible

#

Like rush the 30k and psy helmet and rush expert tools and red forest

#

But still, considering the rads it will be hard

#

Usually even after 10 days you still have upgrades to do

lunar nimbus
#

hm from that point of view... ye then only farming rep/goodwill/rank is very easy even on cordon

#

it this (rep/goodwill) mostly stayed vanilla? i'd assume lowering down rep u get from tasks or increase tasks cooldown, idk how else they were able to get it high enough to recruit masters just by doing tasks on cordon ;p

I had an idea for a companion system that seemed like it would be interesting. I don't know if it's even remotely possible with the xray engine, but I thought it would be cool if there was a sort of a "companion progression" mod. Players could recruit trainees at the beginning of the game and bring them along for quests or journeying across the Zone. They would no longer automatically heal and, instead, you'd actually have to give them medical supplies or hang out at campfires to heal them. It could be a means to address the complaints of companions being too "useful" or "broken", even though their AI is janky. Aside from improving companion AI, as companion rank increases so do their weapons and equipment when you are near a trader that they are also neutral with. I'd also consider removing or adjusting the option of using companions as pack mules and being able to give them weapons and armor on the off-chance the player gets lucky with stashes or loot drop.

You could also half the points the player receives from killing enemies or doing quests to prevent them from skyrocketing their rank and recruiting really good companions. From my experience in Gamma, I feel like my rank does not accurately correlate with my in-game progress anyways - far exceeding my progress. Though, you could introduce a system where you have to pay higher-ranking stalkers to stick around.

lunar nimbus
#

in almost every game u have to babysit companion, give them weapons and armor, because system where they do it on their own is hard to make, but not impossible in a simple form

bold gyro

#

i had an idea to make more player-world interaction via pda, increase requirement for being "friend" (when u can hire them for free), remove hiring for money dialogue completely and instead make an ability to throw a message in global chat, like "looking for brave idiots to raid X, price is Y", depends on location and price some stalkers will come to ur place and will have a dialogue to join, when they join some of ur money is reduced and they become companions for certain time, idk something like this

this is quite easy to do tbh ;] im just tired of modding a bit

#

Able to buy ammo for rifles you can’t use

lunar nimbus
#

we were talking about people hiring masters earlier

#

and it depends on reputation and goodwill ;p

undone lily
#

Like rank /2

#

And goodwill is also slower + spanned over 2000 points for the last rewards

lunar nimbus
#

no clue then how they are able to hire highest ranks for free... requirements for this (implying this wasnt changed) is also quite high

undone lily
#

Farming 2000 goodwill is long in survivalist

undone lily
lunar nimbus
#

its based on personal relation which isnt displayed anywhere ;]

undone lily
#

Yes yes sorry

#

I have made a system in beta

#

Where you need your rank to be above theirs

#

And I plan on adding a multiplier

#

Like 1.3 or 1.4 more rank points

lunar nimbus
#

should work i guess ;]

undone lily
#

So highest rank stalkers will be almost impossible to recruit

#

Yea

wide estuary
#

I play a very specific way to prolong the hobo phase “hardcore mode” so I grind Gordon tasks a lot. So much so that I had to up the goodwill of traders to 4000. So maybe that’s why I am able to hire masters for free..? Idk

how about making so ,when you have more companion you get less money as reward because you need to split the money, this way you prevent the use of more than one companion because the reward get less and less? true hardcore shit lol

Could even reduce goodwill received based on companions? As a result, they get a few more points to their rank.

# woven mountain Any feedback so far?

Just a little bit, was having some crashes unrelated to your mod and got tired so haven't played much but there is one thing I noticed, Hip would sometimes repeat the same "spotting" several times, only with mutants tho, example; there were several zombies and she mention them twice (no delay, maybe two groups?) and a bunch of dog but mentioned them only once, but there was one psy-dog and she counted it like 4-5 times instantly (maybe coz of the phantoms?), perhaps adding something that would prevent calling out the same type of thing for a bit would help with that? but otherwise really cool, makes the companions more lively.

#

Only had the heavy multi spotting once, but then again haven't played with it much, had around 6 encounters one with a Monolith hit squad and that was nice, was looking away from them when I got shot for 1/4 my hp and just ran for cover, she called out it was Monolith and with that info I could react accordingly, which is one of the things I like about this idea, gives me info that I can act on, sorry if this isn't a huge help, but going back in now, hopefully without crashing, sorry for the wall of text.

Hey boss, I kown you didn't use the army kettle in the game, how about making it an infinite use artifact powered prototype from the ecologist like the exo support battery, only available with an expensive recipe or make a little quest given by ecologist to make this type of prototype with a one of a kind artifact spawned only by this quest, is an idea to implement more item powered by artefact, like the weapon used by the mercenary assaulting rookie village in SoC

undone lily
#

Hum, I like the fact that you need to manage your cooking tools to cook basic recipes which then transitions to managing your fuel with the endgame stove for strong recipes, makes both thing useful

#

Making something infinite would almost invalidate both current tools

#

Artefacts powered guns, hum why not, but that’s a lot of work and hard to balance to not be outright broken

#

Check the gauss for instance…

#

And making fire toxic etc imbued artefacts mean you need to start managing and balancing these defence values for npcs….

#

Which is a lot of work for a small feature imo

real vine
#

True

#

Just idea

#

I have other but the more I think about them the more strange they becomes lol

or make them useful on armor type like fire and castic/acid useful against mutant and light armor, electric against heavy metal armored enemy kind to borderland

A Renegade trader and mission giver?

At least the trader.

With GAMMA having them be mercenaries would like some.sort of support for them, it's pretty old getting shot at by everything in the Zone.

I know Monolith have it worse off but they have actual base etc

Renegades only have Bandit resourced which doesn't match their identity as alternate mercenaries in GAMMA

no_ram on apparently avoids the textures to be duplicated in the ram by reserving more VRAM in the GPU

Ability to use more GPU memory to reduce redundant CPU usage. (#585)

To use it, enable `r__no_ram_textures` console command and restart the game.

r__no_ram_textures off certainly frees up VRAM, but I think it could be overall detrimental

I did the writing for Dark. I want to make sure that it feels natural. I think we're planning to expand on it once we get the issues ironed out. I've already told Dark that I'm up for writing different sets of dialogue for different factions. I think the plan is for Duty, Military, UNISG, and Mercenaries will be getting a set of dialogue that reflects their more militaristic background, while other more distinct factions will be getting their own individual sets, like Monolith, Ecologist, and Bandits/Renegades.

lime yew

Yeah, I can imagine paramilitary factions using sharp tactical language ( especially unsig and merc ) like “contact 12 o’clock” while bandits and loners would be less formal and call you “dude”, “buddy” or “bro” and monolith would call you “brother” and say stuff like “purge this infidel “

I threw it through an online .png to .dds converter & it no longer crashes, but the NVG icon in-game is still tan for some reason. Tried throwing it into it's own mod & loading it on top of GAMMA Icons, and still no dice

Oh wait. I'm dumb as a motherfucker. The actual icon is staring me right in the face in the second row. I recolored the wrong damn icon. kek

@random fulcrum I modified your Barrel condition effects display to allow for field stripping in loot window, alright to post it here?

How so? I can disassemble it in their bag, why does strip break balance?

not arguing, legit asking.

at least for me, taking the gun and stripping in your bag adds a whole new layer of risk reward

#

versus damaging your multitool for just one green piece

I can see that, I just usually take all weapons that have parts I want and then carry them until somewhere safe, so I guess I dont think about someone standing in the middle of a battlefield stripping

it's still a qol patch that lots of people want too

Yeah, im wondering how hard it would be to put a chance if you are doing it in the loot window to possibly damage the part (I.E. rushing it)

@woven mountain finally got some time to actually play with the chatty companions, their hints about muts are very useful. But I would suggest (someone most likely already did) the MCM option to disable their anomaly comments completely since we have to assume that everyone in the group understands where the hell we're crawling and looking for magic rocks. This goes well with their ability to navigate through said anomalies on their own without our help. Also, this not-so-useful ramblings remind me of a situation from The Book, so the option could be called "Shorty Lyndon":

My greenhorns were in a great mood, of course. They were turning their heads every which way and their fear was almost all gone. They started gabbing. Tender was waving his arms around and threatening to come right back after dinner to lay the road to the garage. Kirill plucked at my sleeve and started explaining his graviconcentrate phenomenon to me -- that is, the mosquito mange spot. Well, I set them straight, but not right away. I calmly told them about all the jerks who blew it on the way back. Shut up, I told them, and keep your eyes peeled, or the same thing will happen to you that happened to Shorty Lyndon. That worked. They didn’t even ask what had happened to Shorty Lyndon.

random fulcrum

like they don't understand what they are

That can be cool too, yes. But scientists rookies should be taken into account, their comments about anomalies should probably be different.

Blender should tell you if you can load an animation onto a model. It might have been forced onto it via arx toolset

#

Also, do you know if that anim is being overwritten? It might not be compatible with the model anymore

#

I fixed it by re exporting the animation from blender with the new bone

azure basin
#

Its printf to output to the log right? (Yes I disabled the mod)

random fulcrum
#

printf prints in the console whatever is between the parenthesis

azure basin
#

Hmmm That is what I thought, ok thanks

random fulcrum
#

now to go right into the log there was another function

#

but i don't remember which one

azure basin
random fulcrum
#

maybe check axr_main

#

or _g

#

those have all the inner workings of the game

azure basin
#

Yeah I was just shocked when not seeing the text come out of print f lol. Apparently I forgot to set the field strip to go into the npc inventory instead of player, so I am trying to fix that, but for some reason all I end up doing is breaking the whole damn thing.

woven mountain
azure basin
azure basin
#

Just to make sure my logic is not totally off base:

When dealing with field stripping, I need the parent ID of the weapon to attach it to the NPC, once they become parts the parent ID will just link back to the weapon or disappear.

Once I have the parentID associated to the NPC, then I should be able to use that id to create the stripped parts in the npc inventory.

azure basin
#

If someone wants to take a look at this. So the version in #🖇old-mods-posting is currently dumping the parts to the player inventory, I would like it to dump into the npc inventory as disassembly does. I have for hours tried different things and for some reason I can get the script to do literally everything except spawn the parts. I have probably tried 100 different variations of passing the variables required and non have worked, some just seem to stop the part message from going out. I am convinced at this point that I am missing something small and obvious and just convinced myself instead that its complicated.

And feedback: it seems no matter the settings, the only thing companions are commenting now is mutants and being wounded, ignoring stalker fights (zero response about 3 monolith encounters at warehouse) and anomalies completely. Disabling FF for testing purposes and hitting companion till death results in barrage of messages until they recover some health. All of this goes for 1.6, as well as latest 1.5, but things seem to be more reliable on spam fix test release, except wounded status, same things happened back there.
