Oooh

Hmm

[frozen trench]

cum mod
-gives you the ability to fill up empty plastic jars and turn them to greade filled jars
-restores small bit of psy health and thirst
-significantly increase in tiredness
-when in line of sight of a stalker they get hostile towards you

would be a funny silly little goofy mod thatd be realistic

also making the playboys readable would add to the immersion and atmosphere

[unborn sorrel]

[tidal elbow]

[azure basin]

What even...

[real vine]

[tidal elbow]

realistic

In what world?

[zenith abyss]

our world

[thorn stratus]

was even tested this thing in the real world?

[hoary abyss]

where is the poop management mod

if you don't wipe it spawns mutant bounty squads on you

how does touching the zombies setting mess up your spawns?

[woven mountain]

@neat stone @whole grail @still meteor New stable release just dropped

[woven mountain]

@tidal elbow

[tidal elbow]

I'll try it when I'll be back

[random fulcrum]

gonna test this out once i'm done implementing scopes on the thing™️

[lilac compass]

If you used the zombie specific setting in zcp's mcm menu it replaces most spawns with zombies it's meant to be used if playing survival mode every other setting is fine to tweak just don't touch the option in the zcp mcm menu called zombies

[random fulcrum]

fixed in 1.5 tho

[lunar nimbus]

pinnacle of mod making

[undone lily]

Holy damn hahaha. Honestly this interface could be used to:

• Buy stashes info from the STALKER Net
• Access traders for distant selling with stuff that will be deposited to a designated stash (delay of few hours + increased prices). The idea is to make a remote base, buy stuff through this system, sleep, start crafting your shit with the deposited items.
• Finish contracts buy taking a photo of the target body

[lunar nimbus]

i need to visit treasure manager again to check if i can just put my own stash into the table and let it handle the rest

shiping items is also in consideration for extra price ;] but hard, coz need to calculate what price would be when actor buys in person (+compatibility with a few addons)
and as for photo i dont think its possible xd

[brave prism]

standing near the body instead of a photo can be another way?

[lunar nimbus]

then its unrelated to pda and messages ;]

[brave prism]

nvm then

[undone lily]

it's possible, just make the player press print screen key next to the target (15m radius)

maximum immersion

it could actually be a mod by itself, now how to convey this information to the player is the hardest part

in the PDA description I guess

[lunar nimbus]

but how to display the photo in game

[undone lily]

Includes a photographic system that is often used by stalkers to take photos of their dead target, use Print Screen key to automatically take a photo and send it to the appropriate contacts

[undone lily]

you don't

print screen next to target > quest finished

[lilac compass]

wouldn't this fill up your folder with 100's of pictures though?

[undone lily]

After 50h yes

[lunar nimbus]

only need to add another small condition into all 30 task scripts ;p

[undone lily]

ah true.....

pain

[lilac compass]

Is it possible to make a script that would delete pictures from your screenshots folder?

[brave prism]

the what?

[lunar nimbus]

its even possible to shut down ur pc and format disk with game script ;]

[lilac compass]

if you can then I guess there is no risk of your screenshots folder getting clogged then

[lunar nimbus]

why they should be screenshots at the first place if player dont need them? xd
why not just add a photo item in inventory

[lilac compass]

I mean for taking the pictures of targets ha ha

[lunar nimbus]

yes i dont see why ;]

[lilac compass]

becuase if you had to press prnt screen it would put photos in your folder ha ha

[lunar nimbus]

set it to another button and play photo sound

[lilac compass]

yes fair enough

[whole grail]

Feedback on 1.7
Minor issue: there is elusive message about upcoming blowout right after any save loaded. Most likely it will not be displayed on screen, but will stay in message log in PDA. It happens regardless of actual blowout status, you can wait/debug initiate one, save right after, reload that save and check message log. At the same time, message about actual event displayed properly as expected, so this thing is mostly harmless.

And I still can't see any messages about enemy stalkers, like, going into monolith defence point for engagement and nothing about their presence. Fast travelling right into their campfire point in the forest results in immediate mess and still no messages. But comments about mutants running nearby shows up as we shooting each other.

Good stuff:
Injury spam is no more even with more than one companion in squad.
Anomaly comments are working again, and delay slider is affecting them properly. Thanks for the option to disable them completely too!

@woven mountain translated MCM file

[real vine]

Since we now have vehicles, and military tanks exist in play for Lukash's mission, could tanks as enemies be an option for the distant future?

[lilac compass]

Well rockets are not very easy to get so probably not a good idea

[still meteor]

muh gunslinger

[regal bolt]

This question comes from someone who does not understand modding at all, Im sure many have heard of the mod Ray Of Hope (I do not closely follow myself, but know it uses the engine (from what i can tell) to create a multiplayer experience). How difficult is it to create a co-op experience on Stalker

[tender marsh]

yes

[brave prism]

last time i heard about ray of hope, they decided to build an entirely new engine from scratch, no?

[tender marsh]

i feel like xray would just blow up if someone tried

I always thought of using a third party program to handle the multiplayer and just sync things like how that one mod that lets viewers interact with twitch streamers games work

[regal bolt]

I really want to sponsor a team to make a co-op mod and make it work with Gamma xD

and like pay them to do it xD

[lethal jolt]

Last time the Ray of Hope Twitter was active was 4 years ago, so sounds like: pretty hard

[regal bolt]

they had an update this month @lethal jolt

its almost done apparently

[lethal jolt]

Oh shit? That’s exciting

[regal bolt]

yeah but its SO disappointing that they choose to make their own creation instead of sticking to the plan and making Stalker Co-Op

[lethal jolt]

It was a meme when I first started playing Anomaly in 2019, so I assumed that was still the case

[tender marsh]

Probably best to wait for stalker 2 as it uses unreal

[regal bolt]

Stalker 2 will 100% have Coop, they already making a multiplayer so it will be easier

i just REALLY hope its STALKER 2, and not Metro|Stalker 2

[still meteor]

as a mod probably

but officially they confirmed that it wont have coop

[regal bolt]

oh 100%

but the groundwork will already be there

[random fulcrum]

get a load

did you know all three of the original games had multiplayer?

[regal bolt]

you lie

[unborn sorrel]

the original games were a multiplayer concept

very early

sci fi setting even

[random fulcrum]

yeah this

oblivion lost was originally kinda like an unreal clone

[light delta]

I think I posted in the wrong area. This isnt directly related to "mods" but it is a performance question. When I turn off vsync, my game runs at 110-120 fps but when I turn it on it drops to 72 and never reaches 120 again. I am obviously performing under my refresh rate (144hz) but I just dont understand why it would end up limiting the fps and if this is specific to this game or others.

[azure basin]

Not the right channel, but to answer your question v-sync is honestly not good. Double check your refresh rate is showing at 144 in windows, just because your monitor is doesnt mean windows isnt trying to use it as a different refresh rate. Otherwise try looking for info on your monitor and refresh rate in google.

[random fulcrum]

could be a skill issue but i'm not sure

[unborn sorrel]

72 - that should mean you are using adaptive

as it halves the 144Hz you should get

check if that's on in your NVIDIA panel

[tender marsh]

How do i stop bolt action weapons from "buffering" inputs. As in i shoot 1 round and if i click while it is cycling a round, as soon as it is done, it instantly fires another one

[random fulcrum]

afaik it's an engine thing

has been a thing all the way back into soc

[light delta]

mannnnn, I cannot get these channels right. In the future if I have a question that isnt directly related to anomaly but kinda is, where should I go? My windows is set for 144hz so I guess I need to do more digging. Its not a big deal but its bugs me because I want to know why lol. Thanks for correcting me with the channels

[azure basin]

Probably #╟❓general-offtopic

[tender marsh]

How do i increase icon resolution without increasing size?

@woven mountain Poltergeists cause this to appear. They're commenting on anomalies again but nothing when fighting enemy stalkers.

[real vine]

An add on that safely remove upgrade from the weapon without disassemble it exist?

[random fulcrum]

baby mode

[tidal elbow]

Skill issue mode

[woven mountain]

I also want this

[azure basin]

I can't decide if that would be super difficult or not that bad to be honest. I guess the questions are: does it give you back the upgrades or are they gone? And remove all upgrades or only specific ones.

Honestly most of the needed functions already exist in wpo, collect upgrades function get those, then repurpose fieldstrip functions to make a remove upgrade menu, the hard part would honestly be specific upgrades and if you are only removing certain upgrades as technically you're spawning a new gun. Probably easier ways to do it, but my thoughts.

[dusk crest]

can i contribute some models gun spfc.

most likely a modernized look to some metallic parts

[undone lily]

You know texturing / bump maps in stalker ?

[lean mural]

So I was asking earlier in #🔨base-gamma-support about the Quick Release, and it was confirmed working correctly by others. As these are the only few additional mods I have enabled I'm guessing it's going to be something in Ghillie Suit Overhaul that is conflicting. So I'm hoping someone in the know could point me to which files I should start looking at to look at patching the two. I've been creating mods for other games for years now, so happy to put in the work, but as with anything could do with a helping hand to get started on the right path.

[regal bolt]

if we’re going that far, we might as well design a shitting and functioning toilet mod

where depending on what you eat

you need to find outhouses located in strategic locations around the map

[tidal elbow]

No we're not

[regal bolt]

LMAO

[tidal elbow]

Stop this stupid train of thoughts please, before we take actions

[regal bolt]

my apologies, I was just joking around

[tidal elbow]

I know you were, don't worry

[real vine]

Since we have loot claim to make npc loot body and all,how difficult it is to make companion loot body they kill , maybe creating a script to loot only meds,food, ammo and component so they don't clog their inventory, or creating a script to take only weapon that are better of the one they have at that moment, this way you don't have to micromanage them and they help you with looting

[random fulcrum]

dyi

ohhh damn i MESSED UP

FUCK

[thick loom]

Addon suggestion: reduce player speed when going throught water

[glass umbra]

Doesn't ASS mod does smth like this ? (i mean advanced stamina system )

well actually it reduce your stamina depending on the material, and stamina, as it decrease, limit your speed

[thick loom]

Don't know, never used it, it is in GAMMA optional mods? Im gonna check here

Seems like its not on the modlist, and it overwrites some files from GAMMA

[random fulcrum]

ass does that

it's a nice addon

surely it needs some tweaking unless you want to run out of stamina running out of the village

[dusk crest]

alil bit

[calm pivot]

hello, to make a custom spawn location i would need the coordinate right?

[still meteor]

yeah

@thick loom you posted some img about hud dltx?

[random fulcrum]

maybe he fixed it since he deleted the post

[thick loom]

I managed to find another way, now its working, tks!

The OZK is now in game

[random fulcrum]

looks neat

anything more winter related included?

since i saw dux's prada stalkers

i want to do a graupel run

[thick loom]

Hmmm i think the most winter stuff i've planned is the Vatnik jacket. I don't pretend to add too much outfits since we have dozens in Anomaly, but i want to create Gorka varieties, so a winter version can be done, using a KLMK winter. Suggestions are welcome

[lunar nimbus]

i heard u guys are writing texts here, somebody want to write me some?

[scarlet prairie]

@civic oxide Hi! Do you mind if I upload a more compatible version of your addon? In my walkthrough I recently repaired the w_usp_tac. So I was very motivated and now made it just for myself.

[lunar nimbus]

ok if anyone gonna read and willing to help i need different phrases for 4 type of messages:

1. squad sends message and says they are ready to join for price
2. squad is joining
3. npc says that he has info about what we are looking for
4. npc says the info (saw <who> at <location>)

[unborn sorrel]

I'd be down for that but am still stuck at work for another 6 hours at least, sry

didnt mean i need it right now ;p

yo @undone lily what about adding unique weapons to story boss characters

or unique drops

not as in farmable drops since they don't respawn

[real vine]

gauss and rpg confirmed?

[fair canopy]

Rpg drops at the end of monolith defense

[random fulcrum]

gauss too

you can get a few gauss copies during mortal sin

[real vine]

I miss the day of novice companion armed with rpg killing me

the grenade launcher?

[random fulcrum]

gls are unsustainable

i was thinking more of getting new weapons

[real vine]

mini nuke launcher lol

[calm pivot]

M82a1 doesnt drop normally right?

[real vine]

flamethrower given to heavy and tanky as hell exo enemy ,we have gasoline and kerosene

[calm pivot]

Or the m134 minigun

[real vine]

this idea is born from the concept of class, giving stalker some type of archetype, commando have more heavy weapon, grenadier light weapon and a variety of grenade, medic more healing item and give passive on healing, now that I think about it is a bad idea too many RPG lol but we have skill system so I don't know

[undone lily]

welp, that's like, removing actual guns from the loot pool to make them unique and 100% sure to get....

I don't like it much 😦

if we had a surplus of well animated guns, why not, but it's not the case

[random fulcrum]

fair point

[solemn brook]

Yo guys.. With this addon for positions by grok is possible spawn even guns like random loot its not working somehow for me.
In dynamic loot table i defined for test "pistol" here and added it like this : [pistol]
wpn_aps = 2
wpn_beretta = 2
wpn_desert_eagle = 1
wpn_desert_eagle_custom = 1
wpn_usp = 2

and added coords to pripyat like this :
wep_pri_1 = pistol, 134.42373657227, 6.8734068870544, -194.28237915039, 362873, 4922
wep_pri_2 = pistol, 132.798828125, 4.8747825622559, -184.36585998535, 362023, 4922
wep_pri_3 = pistol, 145.03378295898, 5.1851758956909, -176.70582580566, 374296, 4922
wep_pri_4 = pistol, 148.39764404297, 5.4962258338928, -172.1248626709, 377173, 4922
wep_pri_5 = pistol, 180.27478027344, -0.29221278429031, -193.35171508789, 408563, 4922
wep_pri_6 = pistol, 189.08464050293, -0.29552072286606, -193.40321350098, 419042, 4922

So i need new game or this just dont work or did I misunderstand how it works? 🙂

I have just experiences of modding dayz with stalker now just starting everyday understand more and more.. And where even learn more about stalker modding ? 🙂 Its not enfusion so its different 😄

[random fulcrum]

there was a debug command to respawn dynamic loot

[real vine]

addon to integrate trap tool like bear trap( causing huge bleed damage for a long time) to use against mutant using the same hideout placement, for a more tactical hunting experience???

[solemn brook]

Okey nice i will try it tonight

[narrow coyote]

feature request. can someone make a mod, where you can give a order to your companions - to seat and relax near the campfire)
it will be very immersive)

[potent juniper]

Can someone make veresk be able to use acog and elcan?

[woven mountain]

Any update?

[fair canopy]

So far just the psg1. I tried the saiga 12 bullpup but the reload is a little messy looking

I have a few pulled out and testing them. I was with family this week so I didn't get to do much gaming

[random fulcrum]

psg1 is export ready as it's compatible with blindside's g3 anims

and the weapon looks just fine as is

the other ones from those packs are dubious

the aa12 has a complete set of anims tho

[fair canopy]

I just wanted a tacticool psg1

So I made it myself

Yeah a lot of the guns are rough though

I can't get the sdk to work on my pc either so I'm stuck for anims

[lethal jolt]

Actually I'd been meaning to ask: where'd you learn the workflow for exporting/importing models? Is there some guide out there I can delve into? I've got a 4 day weekend coming up & I know just enough to be dangerous in Blender

Kinda want to fuck around & see how hard adding new scope/sight options is

[fair canopy]

I literally started from 0 with blender so you're already way ahead of me

Most of what I pieced together was off the modding book that's been thrown together by the guys on the main anomaly discord, then fucking around until things worked when I couldn't find the answer

[lethal jolt]

I only know the modeling side, I usually do all of my texturing/rendering in Keyshot

[fair canopy]

You need an xray plug in to i/e stalker meshes

Then arx tool to fix textures

Basically the work flow is import gun, find other guns you want to steal scopes from, move them to the model you want, export. Fix the config and test

https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/

[lethal jolt]

Ooh, shiny

[fair canopy]

Getting the xray blender plug in is the first step. I think it only works on 2.9.x

[lethal jolt]

Oof, though granted 3.0 doesn't have much that'd directly benefit weapon models

No guarantee that I don't get sucked back into my playthrough instead of modding, but I'll definitely give that book a read-through tomorrow

[fair canopy]

As far as what I'm doing goes, I just mash existing meshes together and do some trimming where necessary. Scopes are the same thing. If you can do actual model work you can do far more than I can

If you decide to try it lmk. If you can do a discord stream or something I'll walk you through it fast

[lethal jolt]

It's been on my radar since I saw your tacticool Groza. Last time I modded Anomaly I burnt myself out on the game, so if I do anything I'm gonna start real small

[lethal jolt]

I'll definitely take you up on that if I do

[lilac compass]

is it easy to add dynamic zoom and get the spectre scope ironsights working on a custom weapon? I wanted to know if this is something I could do myself is it as simple as adding the weapon and options to mod_system_basdynzoom.ltx in Maid's and Grok's Bas Dynamic Zoom Enabler or is it more complicated than this?

[potent juniper]

Found this in redux discord, adds special stash to technician's vice items in which can be used for repairs without need of them being in your inventory

Also it detects player's stashes in radius, using their contents in crafting

[potent juniper]

Ooof it crashes upon opening toolkit from inventory

[fair canopy]

you just enable dynamic zoom in the weapon ltx and for ironsights you adjust the alt hud view

[lilac compass]

what do you adjust the alt hud to?

[fair canopy]

thats how you get the iron sights

[lilac compass]

do you mean scope_zoom_factor_alt?

[fair canopy]

no, it's alt aim

you have to adjust that separately in game

[lilac compass]

alt aim hud is set to true but it doesn't use iron sights

[fair canopy]

you have to adjust it in game

[lilac compass]

how do you do that?

[fair canopy]

use the gl button to get to the alt aim then adjust it via the hud editor in game

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/draggable-hud-editor

use this too. it makes life easier

[lilac compass]

ok thank you I'll give it a go so all I have to do is adjust the alt aim until I see the iron sights? It's currently adjusted to use an rmr right? it just doesn't have rmr as an option

[fair canopy]

Depends on whatever gun you're working on. It may or may not have an rmr

[lilac compass]

it's the groza custom I beleive it is currently oriented to the side but since it can't equip spectre or leopold rmr I need to orient it to use the iron sight instead

[fair canopy]

I have it set to the side since it has a laser you can use for alt aiming but if you prefer the iron sight on the specter you have to adjust that aim

[lilac compass]

it's probably fine you are right I just needed to turn on dynamic zoom I love the work you have done on it model looks great

[fair canopy]

Thanks!

[lilac compass]

The weapon is amazing it's better than my previous 7.62.39 and I love the integral suppressor

[undone lily]

not enough scopes for you to choose from already....? cmon

[potent juniper]

Like it's just weird that you can slap top tier 1 and 3 scopes (with eots being t4) but not t2 scopes like acog, spectr and susat

Remove cqbss support for consistency then

Ump on other hand got acog support

[random fulcrum]

tread lightly when thinking of adding scopes

[fair canopy]

Dunno why but whoever made the SR2 decided that it needed long-range scopes

[potent juniper]

It could really use midrange ones

[bold mural]

anyone know where i'd look to adjust gun recoil? looking to rebalance the SV98 and 7.62x51 bolt actions besides the m700 around them being army rifle repair kit guns

[random fulcrum]

gboobs recoil plugin

from what i remember, in the e parameter

it was fov pull, up force, down force

4 and 5 numbers i don't remember

and the 6 number is camera roll

4 and 5 SHOULD be maybe left and right

maybe ask the man himself

@undone lily any documentation on what exactly is going on in the gboobs recoil plugin?

[undone lily]

Adding scopes isn’t really something short to do

[undone lily]

Applies camera affects when shooting based on a ltx file

[potent juniper]

I know, it requires new model

[undone lily]

And new position

It can be done… but I would rather add support for guns that don’t have any sights or so

[undone lily]

About the parameters I don’t have them all in mind 😦

Every time I want to touch it I have to recheck it xD

[random fulcrum]

can relate

[thick loom]

OZK is good to go, unfortunetly i had to make a Frankstein between third person and first person

[random fulcrum]

looks about fine to me

maybe make the folds in the arms stand out more via bump mapping?

[thick loom]

Tks, i'm gonna learn how to make them

[lilac compass]

I checked the real life sr2 veresk and it has an effective range of 200 m so these long range scopes sort of make sense acog would probaly make more sense but the scopes it has are fine

[potent juniper]

@tender marsh Hi, tried your TaZ adaptation, Lee-enfield's shots always sound like if it's near your ear not depending on distance

[tender marsh]

Ill take a look at it when i get back

[lilac compass]

I don't know if this has been fixed already but when I downloaded the Lee Enfield it was called Thompson M1A1 in game I have fixed it myself but it may still be miss named in your current file

[limpid pasture]

Hi, it should be possible that npcs need to have ammo in their inventory and of they run out go to buy it?

This implies that npcs are persisted, and more things that will enable more realism in the zone

[random fulcrum]

explain further

[limpid pasture]

@random fulcrum

NPCs should need to have an item in the inventory in order to use it.

If they needs to shoot they need the ammo, and the gun (ofc)

If they run out of something they need to resupply somewhere.

This will be a basic mod that will enable more dynamic behaviors of npcs

[lilac compass]

companions do have ammo in their inventory but it keeps replenishing by itself also if npcs were able to buy ammo that would mean the player would be able to get a lot of ammo for free

[fair canopy]

So on top of the spaghetti code that barely makes npcs function and causes fps drops when they "wake up", you want to add a layer that tells npcs to keep track of how much ammo they have, go buy ammo and supplies, and direct them back to the spots where they were?

While on a "realism" level that might look cool, from a gameplay perspective that would be awful for balance. And then on a system level thet would probably cause npcs to stop functioning more than they already do

[lilac compass]

yeah plus the ai is not very good at conserving ammo they would burn through it like crazy

[unborn sorrel]

Imagine 3 freedomer, 2 duties and 5 Mono's all forming a line at a trader, buying ammo and then shooting each other again

[fair canopy]

It isn't good for gameplay or system logic

[limpid pasture]

Xd

[lilac compass]

I would imagine there would be a ton of stalkers running around with no ammo as the ai likes to dump rounds on full auto

[tender marsh]

The name is corrected in the file but maybe not in the .7z file. Try recompressing the gamedata folder.

[lilac compass]

I have fixed it already you just have to rename the weapon in the english text file it was named incorrectly it was called Thompson M1A1 I renamed it to Lee Enfield just letting you know there was a typo

[tender marsh]

I think i fixed that in the latest update. Alongside other things. Check on the github

[lilac compass]

I didn't see the github posted

[tender marsh]

https://github.com/toxicfox777/GAMMAxTAZ

[lilac compass]

okay thanks I will bookmark it

[undone lily]

Any gun actually worth salvaging ?

Like Good model and well animated ?

[lilac compass]

Lee Enfield and Thompson M1A1 seem pretty good haven't tested the other two yet

[random fulcrum]

aa12 also has a full set of nice anims

psg1 has a very nice model with the rigging ready for blindside's g3 anims

[tender marsh]

Lee enfield and m1a1 is pretty good. Need some fixing up before proper use though. Uzi and gewehr are also nice but need more work

[lilac compass]

I think there is a Karabiner 43 in game already this is the same as the gewehr 43

[undone lily]

It’s so low quality I removed it

[lilac compass]

ah okay the gewehr 43 is a better name anyway karabiner means carbine hook it is not a great name

[lethal jolt]

Hmm, so now that I've found & repaired a Merc ACE I want to copy it's stats over to the Loner Wastelander so that I actually look cool in end-game. However, even after copying over everything & putting the o_explorer.ltx into a new top-level mod, when I compare the two in-game I still get this:

Here are the relevant sections of o_explorer.ltx & o_seva.ltx diffed:

Not sure what's going on

@random fulcrum how did you do the bones for your 416?

[still meteor]

im sure some outfit stats are in DLTX files

thus overwriting always the o_x.ltx outfit files

you will have to do a DLTX file that changes the outfit stats

so it doesn't get overwritten

[lethal jolt]

Hmm, I assumed that MO2's conflict detector would show me if it was being overwritten anywhere

[still meteor]

no, because it's a dltx file

you could have 2 dltx files modifying the same stat but with different name

mod_system_outfit
mod_system_lautatweaks

and they both could modify the same line but mo2 won't detect them because they are not named the same

[lethal jolt]

How would I go about making a dltx file of my own?

[fair canopy]

name it mod_system_yourfilename.ltx and make sure it's in the root config directory. then do ![armor_name] with only your edits and load it far down

you can make a new folder in the gamma mods folder and do modname/gamedata/configs/yourltx

[lethal jolt]

Hmm, this is what I've got & the game crashes on startup, so I've definitely got something wrong. 😅

Gotta run for a few hours, so I’ll be back to bang my head against this then

[random fulcrum]

copied and pasted m4 tac's bones over to the new model

[still meteor]

just pick the lines that you 'really' need

and do ![outfit_name]

for example the one i did for actor visuals

![wastelander_outfit]
actor_visual = actors\stalker_neutral\stalker_wast_1

no idea if you need to include the $spawn and other things

this is a gamma file

[random fulcrum]

wait a second

if you inherit from another class with ! do you inherit from the already edited one?

that's huge

[steady apex]

! Means discard inheriting from this class

But yea if you change properties of parent section, it will retroactively apply to any sections that inherit from it

[random fulcrum]

i know

what i didn't know was that it worked after the :

[steady apex]

In this example the wastelands suit won't have properties of outfit restrictions 1 to be clear

👍

[random fulcrum]

ohhhhh

you exclude those parent classes

i get it know

[random fulcrum]

chad belt

[lethal jolt]

It still isn't perfectly matched, but it's good enough for me. Thanks so much for the help y'all 🙏 (DLTX stuff is still wizardry to me)

[bronze rune]

Working on fixing silencers....hope this is right channel...How does the pistol and rifle look? Going to move on to others if they look ok.

[lethal jolt]

Seems pretty good to me. Is there any way to move the sight on the pistol icon as well?

[bronze rune]

Ty! Yea it can moved

[lethal jolt]

Seems like something to clean up if you're planning on tackling all the other suppressors. I know that one of the SR1MP kits has a similar issue with its sights

[bronze rune]

Yea im gonna spend some time on fixing what i can since im off work.

[vague sphinx]

@fair canopy I saw the upgrade addon for stimpacks, I may have missed it but is there the equivalent for army to scientific ?

[fair canopy]

I didn't add one for army to scientific

[lilac compass]

Pistol looks good Rifle looks pretty good nice work so far

[vague sphinx]

Oh, no worries it seemed like the next logical step from army ones, hence my question but I can understand though

[undone lily]

It looks perfect. Be sure to check out how it looks like when horizontal in your Inventory

[oblique root]

just a suggestion. adding a secret renegade trader in the swamps, perhaps in a train car somewhere close to the doctor that allows for deeper gameplay as renegades, and the ability to access renegade exo and armors unlike base game where it is restricted to farming renegades for their armor.

[undone lily]

Renegades are fun only because they don’t have traders

[lilac compass]

I have now tested the Uzi and the Gewehr 43 and they both have pretty good models and animations as far as reloading

[lethal jolt]

Hey, quick question: what are the specific things controlled by the visual actor_visual npc_visual & player_hud_section parameters? I thought that player_hud_section controlled both the arms and body visible in the first person view model, but it seems to only be affecting the arms.

[still meteor]

mm no idea

the player hud section has a file that defines the path for the ogf

dont remember where is It

[lethal jolt]

Huh, well as far as I can tell I've defined both the Nomad & Wastelander armors with identical visual parameters & the bodies in first-person are somehow different 😅

Nomad top, Wastelander bottom

[still meteor]

Ah

Yeah the first person legs are a vompletely diferent thing

You need to search for body awareness files

And search for the visuals on fp legs

Since they have their own meshes

[lethal jolt]

Oh the legs are entirely mod controlled?

[still meteor]

yeah they are not vanilla files

[lethal jolt]

Thank you, I was just about to swap over all the stat edits to the Nomad suit

[lethal jolt]

Hell yeah, that was the last missing piece of the puzzle. Now I've got the stats to match the drip. Definitely didn't think that the pursuit of aesthetics would be this complex, but thank you all for guiding me through it

[regal bolt]

everyone knows the Zone respects the drip, so going for fashion is important

[brave prism]

bullets and anomalies have a different say in that

[random fulcrum]

add a third emission like thing that drip checks everyone in the zone

[regal bolt]

normal emission already counts as a vibe check

[random fulcrum]

doing god's work

[azure basin]

You have the patience of a saint.

Shoot as long as my silencers aren't attached to a fake barrel or worse when it's basically on the sight...

[undone lily]

This you won’t be able to fix, unless you move the silencer to the bottom right corner of the guns…

Which isn’t good imo

You are doing god’s work mate

Had my share of tedious stuff so I can feel you

[lilac compass]

They don't need to be perfect just do the best you can they are looking good from what I've just seen

[thorn stratus]

what setting in sun.ltx does affect this big sun? I want to reduce it

trying to figure out whether this sun size or effect depends on the sun.ltx settings, weather type ltx setting, the type of anamflares texture used or the shader used for the flares or the sun

[regal bolt]

bro ran into some sort of time anomaly and got time travelled back to 6th august 1945

[regal bolt]

and this one was on the 9th of august 1945

[undone lily]

Sun ltx flare stuff

[tepid scarab]

Can I change the visual of a weapons mag? Like SA-58 have a regular mags and I want to see if I can switch to another mag

[still meteor]

you mean the item in inventory?

[tepid scarab]

Nah I'm already dealing with the inventory, like when i got the gun in my hand

but I guess it's impossible kinda kek

[thorn stratus]

Thanks I'll look into changing some of the variables there and see what happens

[still meteor]

yea you can, but you will have to edit the base model of the gun + all scope variants and change the mag visual model
then i guess, make a script to detect? the new mag and assign the visuals

[undone lily]

Enjoy the +15Gb of models on your hardrive

[tepid scarab]

Yeah won't be worth the time I'll put in anyway, I'll stick with my custom mags and rip the model

[thorn stratus]

in sun.ltx the flare radius property seems to be an array, e.g. flare_radius = 1, 1, 2, 4
what is the purpose of the various values?

[azure basin]

Does anyone have a image of the full anomaly map, that they would be okay with me using. I would like to make a little visual aid of where each toolkit can be found in terms of section, and minimum armor and weapon caliber level you really want before attempting certain regions for new players to reference.

[thorn stratus]

guys how do I make the crows crackle few seconds prior to an emission begins like it was before npc_dies_on_emission_forreal addon was added? now the do at the same time of the first boom sound which I don't like it to be honest

[lunar nimbus]

dont u have unpacked textures, its called global something

[azure basin]

Honestly I do, I just didnt think of that because im dumb sometimes lol.

[lunar nimbus]

but its shittiest possible quality idk if its used in game anywhere

[azure basin]

Thanks

[thick loom]

OZK after bumpmaps, tks Momoplate for sharing me that video from ICHICROW

[random fulcrum]

[lethal jolt]

So I'm back on my bullshit. I now have this thing waiting for me once I get around to fixing up the Merc Nosorog I found a few days ago. Did this one a bit more properly by creating a new o_loner_nosorog.ltx file & adding it rather than overwriting an existing piece of armor (something I probably should've done for the Wastelander to avoid the DLTX issues.)

It's dumb, but my enjoyment of the game is substantially increased by not being forced to wear dreary blue Merc clothes in end-game, so thank you all again for your help & guidance

[random fulcrum]

brother use dltx

also a loner noso is much needed imo

there's too few of them and all are basically the same

it could easily be a worse noso that's way cheaper to mantain

[azure basin]

Hey can you look at this script real quick, and just tell me how to avoid the parent var being a nil crash on start. Ive tried using an if db.actor:active_item() ~= nil then but it just tells me to get fucked.

Or if someone knows a way to strip the alife id off obj:name()

[lethal jolt]

Bold of you to assume I know what any of this code does. I just find a mod that does what I want, copy/paste, and change the names 😅

I'm an artist not a CS major

[iron agate]

Hope this helps a bit <3 https://youtu.be/yI3h08MxBSI

[random fulcrum]

i too am an artist but currently struggling with trauma and maybe artist's block

modding is a cope mechanism

[lilac compass]

The best way to get passed any kind of block is to not think so hard about it and do other things it's like with anything you think about it too much it will just get worse

[undone lily]

[fathom wagon]

Wonder if this has been attempted, but has anyone tried to see if the "Donate" feature for vendors could increase that faction's rep?

@solemn brook I tried to download EXPEDITION 2.0 shaders with gamma and when create a new save it just loads the game but textures are all black and only see sun glow.

oh my god i swear i did that, but it works now lul thank you thank you

Does anyone know where the various values for bones_koeff_protection are defined? That's the last thing I've been trying to set to no avail. My alt versions of the Merc ACE & Merc Nosorog both have ~10 less BR Class & I can't figure out why

[dusky scarab]

snd_release:play_no_feedback(db.actor, sound_object.s2d, 0, VEC_ZERO, 1.0, 1.0) Does anyone know what I would need to add or change to make this sound louder? Or would I need to go it in the ogg?

[tepid moat]

@lethal jolt \gamedata\configs\creatures\damages.ltx contains armor protection profiles

[lethal jolt]

I was mistaken bones_koeff_protection isn't the armor's BR Class. Turns out I needed to grab the values from GAMMA RC3\mods\G.A.M.M.A. Actor Damage Balancer\gamedata\configs\mod_system_items_armors_br_class_rework.ltx & copy them over to my new armors.

[lunar nimbus]

1.0 before last one

it could be that 1.0 is max tho

[dusky scarab]

[undone lily]

@lunar nimbus planning on making a task gatherer function in the PDA ?

[lunar nimbus]

already did .... and its beyond broken

check how many scripts and configs there are for tasks, 90% of it is just for setting it up

and thats exactly what i need, so im not gonna try to replicate all of that xd i'll try to make my own mini tasks, this is much easier but not now ;[

[lean mural]

Does anyone know what dds options I need to use for HUD textures when saving from PS with the Nvidia dds plugin? Trying to make a new compass overlay for Raven's compass.

Black background is obviously not part of it, just to make the preview easier to see

[undone lily]

use paint.NET to save to DDS

honestly easier

but otherwise, save DXT5 if you want a light texture

or save without any compression

usually, save without any mipmap

[lean mural]

Thank you. Never used paint.NET. Can I open the .psd with it and save to DDS or do I need to save as png in Photoshop first and use that?

[undone lily]

PNG to DDS is easier

in Paint.NET save as A8BR8 :o)

(this means no compression)

[lean mural]

Is this what I'm after?

[undone lily]

yes

[lean mural]

Not seeing A8BR8 as an option here? What am I missing?

[undone lily]

After BC7

A8R8...

[lunar nimbus]

uhm why does it cost money

@tender marsh You ported the M1A1 thompson earlier right?

it doesnt seem to work with mags redux, just a heads up

[random fulcrum]

add mags yourself

[whole junco]

Hi, @boreal dust I have some questions about your addon (https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/anomalys-name-update-for-stalkers-anus) . Is it possible to remove unusual names (for ex: Abily, Adrik etc.). I think these name dont fit in stalker setting

[tender marsh]

I havent made any of the guns mags redux compatible. I will once i fix the major issues first

[regal bolt]

the G43 has a mag?

[regal bolt]

im an idiot

I cant unfortunately

[regal bolt]

they are unusual, Stalkers are mostly misfits, goons and the weirdest of people. Who would willingly go to a place like the Zone without immense greed and/or disregard for their own life?

but still, I wanna be able to make some names. Walter White the mercenary here we go

[random fulcrum]

merc name combinations allow for solid snake to exist in the zone

maybe big smoke too

[regal bolt]

I swear I saw some guy named some kind of food

and a guy named Spooner lol...

[neat stone]

seems to not work at all, companions don't comment on anything.

[whole junco]

but Zone is a closed place. I dont think, that people from India, Greece or Africa can enter the Zone and seat near Ukrainian, Russian... and speak with them

[woven mountain]

Can you send me your log?

[neat stone]

not certain what log you mean

the appdata crash one?

[woven mountain]

Yep

[random fulcrum]

sorry but since the un got into the zone they enforced an ukranian learning program rule in it

similar to the gun ban

nope, its worldwide news now

and the mercs speak english, what about them?

the UN and the RA and the EU and the UAF are there too

so what about it?

nononono not the muh realism thing again

[regal bolt]

lol.

by now, the US army would be there

THAT would be realistic.

didnt the ukrainian government do that IRL?

all schools teach only ukrainian, and you can only use ukrainian in the workplace?

like Latvia did that too

New + still adjusting + I honestly try to be nice, and approach in friendly manner explaining hey dont do this.

[random fulcrum]

why do i read this like a "l + seethe + cope + mald" thing

anyways how would a configurable gboobs feel like

[azure basin]

Hmmmm, I mean what configuration options? And via menu or editable cfg type file?

[random fulcrum]

via menu

like, i.e. adjustable body parts multiplier

modular tweaks to mutants i.e. making snorks have armor idk

also easier customization of particle effects via editing the script itself

[azure basin]

hmmmmm I think that would actually be pretty cool, my only thing I would want (yes pain, but eh) would be in addition to just changing each setting, a couple of presets (i.e. A default, maybe like a hardcore, and maybe a easy mode) I like the mutant idea, and I have no input on effects because I no understand fancy art things.

[random fulcrum]

that's exactly what i'm thinking

because in gamma difficulty really only matters for elemental damage

[azure basin]

That would honestly be super cool. I love it as is, but the ability to adjust things would be awesome. For instance, I dont like that endgame even a nos will go down with a head shot from anything 545 and up. If I could simply set a slider of body part damage or armor value that would be super cool.

[calm pivot]

hello, how do i add the Sin forcefield thingy to say, Monolith?

[azure basin]

General lua question: How do I prevent a variable from being test on script load? In cpp or something similar If I put a variable in a function it doesnt matter if its nil until that function is actually called, and the variable activated.

[random fulcrum]

via gboobs

[fair canopy]

god i want this

[calm pivot]

grok_bo.script right?

[random fulcrum]

yeah

make sure you edit the one that wins all the conflictd

[undone lily]

People don’t understand the formulas, hence they will do fucking garbage

The best I can do is provide a pen boost based on difficulty

Hence if you don’t want to care much about AP, play in easy

[random fulcrum]

maybe make easy/gamma default/hard/nightmare presets

Var = 0
Function bla()
Var = « i like potato »
end

On game start
Callback (actor on bar, bla)
end

Until the callback triggers the variable will be 0

The script is loaded once after each loading in game

[azure basin]

Thats so simple. I didnt think of just assigning it a value in initial declaration and overriding it later. I feel like in ye olden days there was a reason we couldnt do that. Or my brain just thought that lol

Plus we just didnt have to, compiling magic

[lunar nimbus]

just return variable from function 🤔

[azure basin]

That was what I was trying but I kept running into the issue where on script load it was trying to pull an obj:parent but as game wasnt actually loaded, there was no parent value

[lunar nimbus]

nvm actually

[azure basin]

Oh I ended up fixing it, I just did it in a whole other method.

But I was just curious how to avoid in the future, because it took me a while to patch a workaround to how I wanted it to work.

[lunar nimbus]

had to see first coz i didnt understand anything xd
but usually everyone go with a delay, createtimeevent maybe

[azure basin]

Yeah, I gotta do some research on those, I thought about it, but wasnt confident in time events or delays. Its very new to me coming from the older style languages how different it goes. Lua is pretty cool though, but I wish it would just give me normal arrays instead of one object to rule them all. Table is very cool im sure, once I get more experience, but I miss simple arrays.

[lunar nimbus]

were arrays simplier than that? xd

and isnt table basically an object in other languages, which shouldnt really be new to anyone ;p

[azure basin]

honestly I went to explain what I mean and literally started writing a short example showing why its difficult but really what I think I am getting so hung up on is the diffrence in syntax and keywords that are the same but operate diffrently that is just throwing me off and giving mental block.

[lunar nimbus]

just drop ur code here (whenever u need help) and tell what u want it to do, this will be easier ;]

[undone lily]

As in bla = {a, b, c, d } ?

That works as well

bla[1] should return a

[azure basin]

It didnt for me. I honestly probably missed some odd syntax thing, but it refused to return the value when I tried that. shrugs Ill get better at it with time

[azure basin]

PS now that im not sick and half awake. I think I realized what I was doing wrong. I think I assumed when I did: bla = {a, b, c, d } that A would be the index (honestly IDK why Im gonna blame fatigue and illness) and that the actual index i.e. 1 would be the value. Honestly the reason i probably got it to work was because when I wrote it out instead of creating it in the one line short syntax I could more visually see Left side index Right side value. oh man I feel dumb now.

[dusky scarab]

Are there anyways to print the class names for attachments on a gun?

[serene smelt]

Only four hours? I'd put him away for several days.

[azure basin]

Yeah, I pinged you so I could watch the dark voiding, but I just wanted to solve it until someone more experienced arrived.

[serene smelt]

Ah well, we'll see if he's learned his lesson first.

[lunar nimbus]

what class

the one that says "class" in ltx?

[dusky scarab]

uhh in the file it says scopes

so like I have the monolith upgrades AK12 and I'm trying to get the scopes name so I can make it not have the Focus Zoom, it seems like the only scope that has it so it's a lil glitchy

[lunar nimbus]

section?

[dusky scarab]

uh what I'm confused? the parent_section is wpn_ak12_custom_mono_kit

[lunar nimbus]

im confused aswell ;]

[dusky scarab]

My bad never worked with STALKER modding lol, I'm using The Focus Zoom addon and it disable the focus zoom on the 2D scopes because it messes things up, but the 2D scope on the monolith AK12 still has it so I'm trying to get the scope names to fix it

[lunar nimbus]

all the scopes that can be attached to this weapon?

[dusky scarab]

umm let me check actually, I've only been checking the Monolith kit that adds a ACOG

XD

Okay so the AK12 Custom with the ACOG is fine

but the AK12 Custom with the monolith kit messes it up

ACOG RMR works fine too

[lunar nimbus]

no idea what monolith kit is, or if thats a scope, or what do u need xd

[dusky scarab]

It's a kit you can get for the AK12 with BAS

so the Focus zoom has a section in weapon_fov_values.ltx and it has this ```[bad_scopes]
acog = true
susat = true

So I thought adding the name mono_kit = true but it does not seem to work but I could be missunderstanding something

[lunar nimbus]

🤷‍♂️ maybe its an upgrade and not attachment

[dusky scarab]

it is

but it is under scopes in the AK12 file so I'm a lil confused lol

[lunar nimbus]

i'd just report it into bugs ;]

[dusky scarab]

oke it's not an included mod so maybe i'll post it on the forum post

[lunar nimbus]

local cancel = false
local upg_a = utils_item.get_upgrades_installed(db.actor:active_item())

for i = 1, #upg_a do
  if string.find(upg_a[i], "mono_kit") then
    cancel = true
    break
  end
end

🤷‍♂️ cancel will become true if "mono_kit" upgrade is installed then u need to put cancel somewhere

if it doesnt work then idk how boomsticks did it

[azure basin]

@dusky scarab You want the objID that is controlling the scope, yes?

on the mono ak-12?

[dusky scarab]

I think so lol

but looking at the mono ak12 it has no scope in the ltx

scopes = none

[azure basin]

Yeah its weird, hang on and let me take a look. Which LTX file are you looking at btw?

[dusky scarab]

w_ak12_custom.ltx

[azure basin]

Right but which one XD

[dusky scarab]

wpn_ak12_custom_mono_kit I think

Oh you mean like

BAS or the patches?

[azure basin]

In gamma typically there will be many of those file names in fact we have 5 of those

[dusky scarab]

I'm look at the BAS file

hmmm interesting I'll check others rq lol

[random fulcrum]

maybe check zoom_factor in the weapon's ltx

make sure it's 0

[azure basin]

Easiest way, search the file in MO2 and it will tell you which mod is providing the one we actually use

[dusky scarab]

hmm okay EFT Repostion BAS JSRS Patch is the one that is being used I'll check it

What confuses me is this has mono_kit in it scopes = acog, eot, specter, c-more, 0kp2, ac10632, d0cter, leupold, aimpoint, aim_low, point_aimpro, e0t2, pn23, gauss_sight, rmr, deltapoint, susat, compm4s, rakurs, marchf, kemper, triji, mark8_rmr, spec_alt, mono_kit, mepro, ekp8_18 scope_status = 0 scope_zoom_factor = 0

This file also says skope none

[azure basin]

It does. Search this: [wpn_ak12_custom_mono_kit]:wpn_ak12_custom

[azure basin]

Make sure its the mod 78 file

[dusky scarab]

yep it is

[azure basin]

PS scopes = none isnt what you want

you want this part (at least I think this is what you are looking for)
;scope_status = 1
scope_texture = wpn_crosshair_acog_rmr
scope_zoom_factor = 25
zoom_rotate_time = 0.25
scope_dynamic_zoom = off

[dusky scarab]

hmm I thought I was looking for whatever scope attachment is on the gun, the Focus Zoom mod has a thing that disables focus on zoomed scopes [bad_scopes] acog = true susat = true

I think atleast It's very confusing to me lol

[azure basin]

Sorta. You were almost there

Yes you need to know the scope. That does not mean we need the scope field however. we just need to know the name of the scope.

[dusky scarab]

so would that be wpn_crosshair_acog_rmr ?

[still meteor]

mm, this is gamma?
or your own modlist

cuz im sure the zoom bug with canted sights was fixed in 1.5.2

you could try comparing the .ltx file of any canted sight weapon which works fine with the one you have problem

[dusky scarab]

GAMMA with a few added mods, I'm using Focus zoom instead of the other zoom though

[azure basin]

Close, thats the crosshair name. But we can use that to get the name (which is probably acog_rmr)

[dusky scarab]

hmmm okay I'll try that, I really should just ask the dev to fix it but it seemed so easy

[dusky scarab]

This is the mod it makes it so it only works on red dots and stuff and it takes stamina it's pretty neat https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/focus-zoom

wait you know about it you've told others about it I found it from your message LOL

[agile storm]

Has anybody ever tried making a mod where the minimap is a GPS watch u can buy from the traders?
Just thought about it and maybe this is the place where it has a chance to become a reality?

I have no develloping skills whatsoever actually pretty new to this "installing mods" thing

[still meteor]

wdym gps watch?

[lunar nimbus]

probably means that minimap appear only when ur wearing item

[agile storm]

You stalkers will never cease to impress me

Easy install guide?

[dusky scarab]

Well imma just not touch the mono AK12 my OCD is just making me want to find a fix for it but I need to play game, ty for the helps 🙂

[agile storm]

Yup so u gotta work for it and when u get it it doesn't ruin immersion

[lunar nimbus]

quite easy to do honestly... for someone ;p

[azure basin]

Lol have a good time!

[azure basin]

Here is the name you need to use mono_kit

[dusky scarab]

hmm I tried that but I'll try again it made the most sense

[azure basin]

Let me see though if something is overwriting that name

[dusky scarab]

okay ty 🙂

[lethal jolt]

I've always wanted a way to hold your PDA out with a weapon like you can do with detectors. Get a vertical aspect-ratio mini map for when you're out trying to hunt down a particular stash location. Sounds way too complex for me to figure out tho

[agile storm]

Should I just put it in mods folder and activate it through Mo2?

[lethal jolt]

Once you make it, sure

[agile storm]

That would be lit

[azure basin]

should be mono kit

[agile storm]

Isn't that a mod?

[azure basin]

wdym = what do you mean

[dusky scarab]

hmm still doing it very confusing to me

[azure basin]

whats the file you are looking at?

[dusky scarab]

weapon_fov_values.ltx

[azure basin]

Ok, so in your mo2 search that file. Is it the one being used in your load order (i.e. from that mod)

[dusky scarab]

Ya

[azure basin]

is it a mod that came with gamma or no?

[agile storm]

I mean an item that when u have it in your inventory it appears on your arm model as watch that displays the minimap

[dusky scarab]

No it is not, also I can see it is changing something because the ADS fov is way lower than before, but the focus zoom goes nuts

[azure basin]

FYI something like what your talking about needs artists and coders.

[agile storm]

There could be an animation too focus on it like the pda

[azure basin]

Im assuming whatever you are using is overriding mod 72?

[dusky scarab]

So weird lol

[agile storm]

Just had the idea and wanted to check if it didn't already exist

[dusky scarab]

Yes weird too since it suggests using mod 72 lol

[agile storm]

Or if people would like the idea enough to actually work on it cuz I obviously can't

[azure basin]

is it overriding this file? scope_mcm_fov.script?

[dusky scarab]

No

Just these https://i.imgur.com/NXqpjtx.png

[azure basin]

Kk 1 second

[dusky scarab]

let me move the mod order and see how it changes just for the fun of it

[azure basin]

do me a favor and once or before you make the changes send me a screen shot of mcm right box after typing weapon_fov_values.ltx

[dusky scarab]

aight one sec changed the mod order still the same thing but I'll keep it this way because it seems to still work fine on other scopes

https://i.imgur.com/SMXyxrU.png

it goes to an import that has the same Acog = true stuff has the focus zoom

[azure basin]

search for an file that is #include "fov_*.ltx" because it will import any values that match that

file search

so you have to make sure that nothing is happening that shouldnt

yeah its either mono_kit or trijicon_rmr but it should be mono_kit

[dusky scarab]

hmm ya I'm trying it with trijicon this time mono_kit did not work with this way

last try and then I wanna just play and just never touch the AK12 Custom LOL

So confusing lol it's weird that the alternative site does it too but I guess they are connect

it's such a big zoom to idek why it does that lol

maybe the default FOV for bad_scope is wrong? local zoom_bad_scope = 0.2 -- hud_fov for fake 3d scopes like the vanilla SUSAT, ACOG, and AUG Scope -- Default is 0.2

idk what the FOV is by default for those

and why it works with every other gun perfectly fine I tried like 10 with different attachments and stuff lol

ah.... looking into the logic with the focused_zoom_mcm.script it seems something there is making it do that because it thinks the scope on the mono is iron sights I think

[azure basin]

It shouldnt be, the ltx for weapon_addons defines it as a scope

[fair canopy]

@woven mountain would it be possible to add the 6 shot GL to nimble's trade list?

[woven mountain]

Sure

[fair canopy]

Do I need to modify all the files to add it to his list? I guess the trade script controls what he'll take?

[woven mountain]

What do you mean all the files? There should only be one. Also, the code is a fucking mess. I should actually rewrite it

[fair canopy]

The script and the dialog. I've never touched anything having to do with a dialog tree

[thorn stratus]

which mod is responsible of the fav star position? They cover most ammo text

[iron agate]

Sorting Plus

[thorn stratus]

I would like to change it, hoping is not too hard. Before playing with mags I didn't even notice it but now that I have to manually load the magazine is a bit of pain

[iron agate]

Yeahhhh lol

I know the pain

and having to drag ammo all the way up to the magazine in inventory and it lags out, some inventory mods are a bit wonky

[thorn stratus]

sure you can look at the picture and understand which is which but being able to see ap, hp or fmj is faster lol

[iron agate]

Yeah! I don't think the favorite icon is part of the native icons by Cr3pis so maybe you'd have luck moving it a bit?

[thorn stratus]

yes is a bit buggy but minor things, otherwise is cool. I am liking it

I'd like to place the star a bit up from where it shows up

[woven mountain]

Oh yeah, haven't touched it in a while. You'll need to modify 3 of 4 files

[tidal elbow]

@woven mountain did you pinged me somewhere?

In case you did, I'm not playing GAMMA right now, I don't even have the latest version of your mod, I used an old version because the new one was buggy

[thick loom]

Finally OZK has all Bump maps

[fair canopy]

It looks a little odd

[thick loom]

Suggestions? They are basically rubber/plastic, don't know exactly the material

[random fulcrum]

crank up bump height in your thm editor

also, it's kinda hard to really see bump mapping in a screenshot

maybe try recording a video while spinning to show how light affects the surface

[long spear]

is it possible for an overdose mechanic?

[random fulcrum]

maybe

[woven mountain]

Newest Stable Version

[faint sable]

nice seems to be working good thumbs up

[bold wasp]

@woven mountain I think it's worth a mention

[random fulcrum]

damn that's a nice screenshot ain't gonna lie

[woven mountain]

What enemies were near you?

[bold wasp]

you can see it right in front of me

pseudogeist, I believe

[bold wasp]

look at my 5 or 6 screenies in here #╟📸screenshots message

[neat stone]

Poltergeists and their variants cause the message yeah

[rancid depot]

i know its a meme tier ask but can we add tritium sights on teh dhamphr deagle too 🙂

all the other ones have them

[random fulcrum]

yes we can

[still meteor]

no we cant

[fair canopy]

It can be done, but will it be?

[fair canopy]

Is there any way to get an animation to play closer to the camera?

[regal bolt]

hawdy stalkers, need help with weapon textures. how do i find where are a gun's texture is exactly located? is it written down somewhere in a file like the weapons ltx file?

[azure basin]

Ltx will have it yes. But go to mo2 and search that file to grab the one from the right mod

[regal bolt]

which line in a ltx file?

i know .ogf are the meshes

but the textures?

[azure basin]

Honestly not at my pc. But there should be a texture line

Unless I was drunk the last time I looked at an ltx

[regal bolt]

damn bro slow down with devil juice lol

[azure basin]

If you upload the ltx I can look at it quickly

[regal bolt]

file for the svd

[azure basin]

Checking it

[regal bolt]

the name of the texture is wpn_svd.dds

i found this rifle's texture

i just want to know how to find others

[azure basin]

Good news wasn't drunk bad news memory sucks. I forgot the icon part I front of texture lol. Upside I apparently have a coding editor on my phone I forgot about

Personally the way I would do its back trace which is how I find most shit: I want svd, I search in mo2 right panel go to the textures folder and find the one that matches the object name

[regal bolt]

hmmmm

the search function in MO2?

[azure basin]

Open mo2 bottom right side (above the watch log) where the directory tree is there is a box that says filter.

[regal bolt]

ahhhh

shits looks damn near hidden

thanks

[undone lily]

move the gun compared to the hands?

or move the arms compared to the camera in the animation

iirc you can also set specific FOV values for animations

[undone lily]

textures are in ogf. You can edit them with the OGF Tool

https://github.com/mortany/OGF-tool/releases/tag/0.5

[tender dome]

is there a mod to bring back the bracketed... targeting... thing... for targets on 1.5.2? specifically for the eots 62 scope or however its called?

[potent juniper]

#🖇old-mods-posting message

#🖇old-mods-posting message

These two together needed

Also doesn't work for sr25 sadly

Don't know about other guns

But worked with vss savant and ak5c

[fair canopy]

i think this is what i need

[undone lily]

can someone send me the dialog.script from 1.5.2 ?

[tranquil forge]

this one?

[undone lily]

thanks !

[tranquil forge]

[bronze rune]

@undone lily gonna need some help brother. My fixes right now....the weapons overlap other weapons in the inventory horizonally. 2 options, either move all the weapons over one cell in the UI inventory and change the LTX files to 6x 2 accoridinly or change the UI inventory grid size.

[random fulcrum]

wdym overlapping

as in the silencer getting on top of another icon?

gun icons don't get moved by attachment positions

and if you want to do the 6x2 thing you'd have to edit THE WHOLE icons dds

and also fix them in the ltx

also, do dltx

it's a better practice

[bronze rune]

Silenecer will overlap other weapons, yeap you explained everything i said

[random fulcrum]

nothing you can do then

just push the silencer left some pixels

only dumb tarados will complain about the silencer not being pixel perfectly aligned with the threads

use dltx

[bronze rune]

No you can change the headroom for silenencers using a 6 x 2 ratio.

Im a perfectionist so seeing weapons with silencers overlap eachother is a real problem

Ive edited the pixels moving guns and silencers but its just a band aid.

Im old school, 6 x 2 is a must with weapon adding because it aligns everything.

[fair canopy]

The problem is that making them 6x2 will show the weapon next to the edited one on the gird

All the weapons are aligned in the dds via the grid but they're right next to each other

[lethal jolt]

Question: is it possible to only add new lines to another mod's config.ltx file via DLTX, or can you just modify existing values?

[random fulcrum]

define config.ltx

also yes

but define

[fair canopy]

I've found you can't add new scope attachments via dltx, unless I did it wrong

[random fulcrum]

you can, i did that for the 416

[fair canopy]

How? I couldn't get the scope sections to work

[bronze rune]

I dont know wth DLTX means, Been modding since 2007 without all the new stuff.

[random fulcrum]

just add them to scopes?

[fair canopy]

Dltx basically injects modified lines into the ltx file without having to override it completely

[lethal jolt]

For the Body Awareness mod there's a config file that defines the torso/leg model for each outfit. I'm trying to add a brand new outfit via a new o_loner_nosorog.ltx file, so I'd like to add a new outfit block to the BA mod's config

[random fulcrum]

tiniest fucking screenshot in the universe

[fair canopy]

There's a script for icon override such as what you did, but otherwise the whole file gets overwritten. Dltx makes it more friendly since it doesn't override the whole file

[lethal jolt]

Lemme switch to my PC so I can grab code snippets

[fair canopy]

You should be able to do that via mod_system and place it in the config root

[bronze rune]

But DLTX isnt gonna fix a weapon mod thats 5 x 2 to 6 x2 and edit it inside a ui texture file

[random fulcrum]

if it's a config file then maybe it should go into plugins

it won't but still brother just pull the thing a few pixels to the left

and use dltx

[fair canopy]

It won't but it'll make it so you don't override the whole file for better compatability

[random fulcrum]

this

[wpn_hk416_gauss_sight]:wpn_hk416
    $spawn                    = "weapons\hk416_gauss"
    
    hud                        = wpn_hk416_iop_gauss_hud
    visual                    = dynamics\weapons\wpn_hk416_iop\wpn_hk416_iop_gauss_world.ogf
    
    1icon_layer                = gauss_sight
    1icon_layer_x            = 48
    1icon_layer_y            = -5
    
    scope_status            = 1
    scope_texture            = wpn_crosshair_gauss
    scope_zoom_factor        = 12.5
    zoom_rotate_time        = 0.25
    scope_dynamic_zoom        = on
    use_alt_aim_hud            = true
    
    inv_weight                = 5.56

@fair canopy

this is a new scope for the gun

not a replacer

[fair canopy]

Dltx is basically using a surgical knife to cut out a tumor instead of cutting off the whole arm and replacing it with a new one

[random fulcrum]

notice that it doesn't have the !

[bronze rune]

You cant pull a texture a few pixels left thats maxed out against its grid. Rifle needs a 6 x 2 grid

[random fulcrum]

and that it has to be named [weapon name]_[scope name]

scope name has to be the exact same name as the scope's section

[lethal jolt]

So yeah, Body Awareness uses a items_actor_legs.ltx file to define body model values. The most simplified way I can put this is: how do I tell my DLTX edit to change that file specifically?

[random fulcrum]

and have scope_status = 1

[fair canopy]

Oh I was adding it with.!

[random fulcrum]

! means replace

can't replace something that doesn't exist to begin with

[fair canopy]

Alright if that's the case I'm gonna rewire the modded lasers

[bronze rune]

Simply put....weapon UIs need a 6 x 2 grid. It all started with that. If it gets lower than that it needs inventory cells to accomitate for it

[fair canopy]

Yeah you still have to rearrange the dds but you can do the edits to the gun Config without overwriting the whole gun file

[bronze rune]

Yea but itll be right then

[fair canopy]

Yeah, we're not saying don't do that. We're saying do edits to the config via dltx

You still have to edit the dds to accommodate the extra grid space

[bronze rune]

The LTXs need changed to 6 X 2 for rifles ....pistols i beleieve are 3 x 2 . Then change the UI textures which would be easy. Would be one grid apart

[random fulcrum]

and edit EVERY weapon that are to the right of the edited weapons' properties

so that the game reads the correct offset in the dds

[bronze rune]

Yea thats not real hard

[random fulcrum]

nah it ain't hard but it should really be done in dltx

[bronze rune]

I dont know how to use that

[random fulcrum]

just one google search away

[bronze rune]

Itll mess everything up

[random fulcrum]

it literally won't bruh

could you believe it?

[bronze rune]

Wow im old school. Ill look into it

[random fulcrum]

this literally being ALL the code needed for the fix to work

hell this screenshot weighs more than the mod itself

that's why dltx is such a good practice

and now we recently got dxml

[bronze rune]

I didnt get my first cell phone until i was 26! You young fellas should fix the weapons easy

[random fulcrum]

times've changed

[fair canopy]

How does dxml work?

[random fulcrum]

i'd assume the same way as dltx?

haven't tried it yet

[bronze rune]

Why in the hell isnt this fixed then? Why is the silencers off in their own little world

[random fulcrum]

no one took the time

[fair canopy]

Maids icons actually fix a lot of that

Well not adding extra space for no overlapping

[bronze rune]

Im waisting my time then!!

[fair canopy]

I think Grok wanta it for base gamma. Maids are opt in

They also don't work for BAS

[bronze rune]

Only thing i have to say to all this is

[azure basin]

Out of curiosity, I made a whole seperate gamma install for DLTX, did I need to?

[random fulcrum]

gamma has dltx

bruh

[potent juniper]

Oh boy, vanilla shots sounds

They are so bad

[azure basin]

I knew it did, but for some reason my brain went, eh should probably do that in a seperate directory. Thats why I was asking!

[random fulcrum]

oh you made a dumdum

[azure basin]

I was 90% I did and since there was a DLTX convo I was like, hey this is a great time to ask!

It just feels weird to be doing shit on a client if that makes sense. Im used to have a Prod server, and a seperate Dev server XD

[bronze rune]

I think a really good modding tool would be letting a modder move a weapon inside a 8 x 4 grid, All weapon textures could be in one UI texture 50 x 50 grid which is the standard. Just like a silencer you could move it to the right coordinates

You can move silencers, grenade launchers, scopes AND you can move a gun on a x or y grid.

If modders could create a tool like this to fit their UI inventory all the little things could be avoided like a silencer overlapping another gun

UI inventory is a problem sometimes. Your locked into this specific realm and everything has to be adjusted to it

[fair canopy]

Desolation has its own icons which are dynamic based on the attachments. That's probably what Gamma would need

[bronze rune]

Nice

[lethal jolt]

@random fulcrum so the file I'm trying to add a new entry to is: GAMMA RC3\mods\236- Body Awareness - Wang_Laoshi\gamedata\configs\items\items\items_actor_legs.ltx Entries look like this:

[nomad_outfit_legs]:monster_base, actor_legs
visual = sm\actor_legs\nomad_outfit```
From what I've gathered so far: a `mod_system_bodyaware.ltx` file in the configs folder with the following code *might* work?
```;o_loner_survivalist.ltx
[survivalist_outfit_legs]:monster_base, actor_legs
visual = sm\actor_legs\nomad_outfit```

Like, that's the code block I want to add, I just don't know how to tell it to add it to items_actor_legs.ltx specifically

[bronze rune]

[;o_explorer.ltx] : ;o_loner_survivalist.ltx
[survivalist_outfit_legs]:monster_base, actor_legs
visual = sm\actor_legs\nomad_outfit

[lethal jolt]

Well it's contained within it's own, new, outfit .ltx file since I didn't know how to DLTX-add a new entry to any of the existing ones. I just finished up copying over the custom icon code from the Merc ACE suit into the mod & threw it in my game for the first time. It appears to have worked somehow. DLTX is some advanced fucking witchcraft

[bronze rune]

Gonna study this DLTX. Peach i was chaining off a already inside LTX. If you included a new LTX then it would need chained to include a existing one like #include "new_outfit*.ltx" Modding is alot different know i see

[azure basin]

Tell me about it. I still try to put brackets for functions and get angry that lua doesn't have normal ass arrays

[lethal jolt]

I've heard some of those terms

[dusky scarab]

I was having an idea, I like using the ammo check mod but without disabling the busy hands fix it feels really odd to check mags, does anyone know if they could change the put gun away and pull it out again with weapon inspect animation or something maybe less busy hands inducing?

or maybe even add a ... checking ammo

[fair canopy]

Actually checking ammo in the model would be A LOT of work and new animations. And would still result in busy hands

Xray just doesn't like animations. You can risk it by enabling them again

[steep compass]

is there a way/are there addons to sort inventory by weight or by price value?

[dusky scarab]

What? I'm confused

A inspect animation like the one you have for gun jams

that would need new animations??

[steep compass]

what's the deal with this busy hands bug exactly? does reloading a previous save fix it?

[fair canopy]

Oh I thought you were asking for new animations to check the mag itself

Regardless it's still going to cause busy hands

[dusky scarab]

so weapon jams and cause busy hands?

[fair canopy]

Yeah

[dusky scarab]

well fuck it idc then at this point

I've not had it happen and I save everytime I do something with a whole new name lol

[fair canopy]

Some things are more prone to it than others it seems

Just the engine getting caught in animation execution

[steep compass]

i've enabled backpack animation, inspect on double tap f, etc. no problem so far, just curious if reloading an older save makes it ok again

[tidal elbow]

!busyhands

[queen pine]

DO NOT ENABLE any of the disabled animations. These are the root cause of multiple animation loops that can break the game, to the point where you have to delete the save.
This bug is called "busy hands", an animation loop that prevents the player from interacting with the action keys, except for movement.

If you are still unsure whether you have it or not, try to do any of the following: interact with objects or people, use a weapon, open your inventory, drink/eat/sleep and so on.
The only possible way to, maybe, remove it completely is to disable any extra activated animation that was previously disabled. You will also have to go back to a previous save where you are 100% sure that you don't have busy hands.

Animations that bring busy hands:

• Opening/closing backpack
• Skinning of mutants
• Disassembling objects with Left-Alt pressed
• Picking up objects

[undone lily]

No problem so far > has busy hands > complains > has backpack animations

[dusky scarab]

Does anyone know a way to increase the animation speed for the 3D PDA, I like the aspect of it being 3D and stuff just feel the animation is a lil too long

thank you

[regal bolt]

alright you guys are the tech wizards so i come here asking for help to find a file by the name of txr_routes.script cant find anything by that name

[regal bolt]

any software i would need to be able to open those files? or can i just use something like notepad?

[woven mountain]

Wait, have you unpacked the database files?

[regal bolt]

uhh dont think so?

would i need to use that stalker database extractor thingy?

[woven mountain]

Anything works but if you want to make modifications would highly recommend Visual Studio Code. Free software by Microsoft

[regal bolt]

so what would i do when im done editing the code in that file? would i put it in the DB file?

[woven mountain]

put it in gamedata\scripts then zip the folder and put it in MO2

Like this

[regal bolt]

uh gamedata folder is empty is it supposed to be like that? sorry if im saying anything that sounds dumb i have zero clue on how to mod or code

also dont mind that meme folder

[woven mountain]

No, you gotta make a new folder somewhere and name it gamedata, then put a folder named scripts inside of it. Then put the script file in there and compress the gamedata folder. Then put the .zip file into MO2

[regal bolt]

ah i see

thanks

[woven mountain]

What are you even trying to do?

[regal bolt]

making it so when accessible zone is disabled it makes all level transitions disabled until you discover a route for it like what T.H.E.Z.O.N.E modpack did

[woven mountain]

Good fucking luck lmao

[regal bolt]

theres a thread that has the code figured out so im just gonna copy paste that to see if that works

right that parts done time to test it

alright well thats interesting i get this error says its on line 204 the highlighted area is line 204

wait i think i forgot to save the edits i did thats why this happened

yep thats why fuck im dumb

[lilac compass]

ha ha we've all done it before I have done it a few times always wondering why my changes didn't take affect 😛

[lethal jolt]

I couldn't figure out why my outfit mod wasn't working. I had the .ltx saved in config\outfits rather than config\items\outfits

I doublechecked the .ltx & launched the game like 4 or 5 times before I noticed the filepath was messed up

[devout scroll]

I know this gonna be a bit weird but do anyone made a mod that makes the bullet casing that came out from a firearm hd?

Or its already on the base anomaly?

[drifting glade]

hey, I want to put a song of mine, from an ep I made time ago, in prypiat or the CPP. It fits the vibe of Stalker gamma? someone has documentation for audio modding in Anomaly? do scripts and stuff.

What enemy was nearby

[cinder ivy]

Poltergeist

It's because the way they are spawned is funky

I haven't looked into adding audio myself, but I can tell you the mod you need to work with is ambient music pack mod 2 I believe in gamma

Will (hopefully) be fixed next version

Tks

[hoary abyss]

Where can I find the VSS Merc HUD settings? I'd like to change the alt view for the SpectreDR to the laser canted instead

[woven mountain]

Note that level transition comments are not finished

[regal bolt]

nice; I've been enjoying your mod and the only problems I've been having is with the various poltergeists having that error message
very good to see a new version

[tidal elbow]

If and when I'll play Anomaly again, I'll add it to my mod list

[lunar nimbus]

mutant_responses[poltergeist] this one is gonna be nil, key must be string/number (or variable that is string or number) i.e. mutant_responses["poltergeist"]
or
mutant_responses.poltergeist which is same as above but i dont like it ;]

(or it can be userdata which i dont recommend anyway xd)
