[random fulcrum]

mcm support

custom particle support

[undone lily]

that way when you don't pen armor: no blood

[random fulcrum]

that would be cool

[undone lily]

blood would only appear when armor is penetrated

[random fulcrum]

but i don't know shit about particles

but it could be done this way

[undone lily]

I also need to disable the gun smoke particles

they are ugly and I think bad performance wise

[lilac compass]

well it didn't work aug a3 custom still has a scope and it won't zoom I copied everything I should I guess I need to change the model? Which I don't know how to do

[thorn stratus]

Hi, I haven't been playing the game recently. Does this happen when you equip only that weapon?

[wild wing]

Thats the only weapon i saw it, also the weapon has a Laserpointer with Expedition and No Laserpointer with Vanilla Gamma, but yes, only weapon that seemed to be the issue

[lilac compass]

can anyone tell me how to remove the scope from the aug a3 custom model?

[thorn stratus]

I will check later this afternoon when I have some time. Consider that with the Gamma EXP you are using the expedition shaders which can have bugs. Regarding the weapon and the laser, no weapons files are changed afaik. Only the textures from Expedition are included and they are at the top of the loadorder so everything gets overriden with GAMMA apart from some of the anomaly vanilla texture like vehicles. Maybe your mod load order is different from what the GAMMA EXP should be.

[thorn stratus]

well I quick checked and it's the LAM actually the problem, all weapons with LAM will have this blue screen that anyway goes of if you switch off the LAM (L key); the laser will still be on so this switch isn't working properly. However if you reload the cfg gamma-expedition it'll go away for few secs only to reappear which means some file or script is changing the user.ltx parameters. I think the problem could be in some script that manage the LAM of all weapons. I don't really know more than this at this point. Curious to see if in the Expedition standalone we have the same issue

[wild wing]

Uhm, im Home in 45 minutes, i could Check If you Tell me which weapon mod it is

I could Check If a quick and dirty paste of the mod is enough to make it appear in Vanilla Expedition

[thorn stratus]

one thing I know is that the expedition shaders mod in the current position which is now, talking of GAMMA EXP load order, is overriding some of the BAS weapon shaders mod. So one way to fix it would be to place the Expedition shader before those mods or make a patch with the some of overriden files from BAS (related to laser) and place it below the Anomaly_Expedition_2.1_Shaders. I don't know if this would cause issues with the exped shaders.

[wild wing]

Will Check when im Home

But it could Work when i place the exp. Shader over bas

[thorn stratus]

try to make a mod patch with just the files that from the BAS mod that have laser and than put this new mod below Anomaly_Expedition_2.1_Shaders

[wild wing]

Im No modmaker tho, how do you do that? ^^

[thorn stratus]

well just copy the files marked into a new folder (e.g on your desktop) with the same path in the original mod and then zip it making sure the gamedata folder is at the root of the archive and that is the patch. You just import this new mod in MO and place it below Anomaly_Expedition_2.1_Shaders

[wild wing]

Will try! Thanks!

[thorn stratus]

or better you can simply do nothing of the above and when you equip a weapon with LAM and the screen goes blue, just press L to switch off the LAM and the blue screen will go away. The weapon laser anyway will still be on so there will be no impact on the gameplay swithing off the LAM

[wild wing]

I'll try that First and If it doesnt Work i'll try to Patch it 🙂

And i'll Check If that Happens also in Vanilla Expedition with the bas weapons

[wild wing]

okay, so the "L" switch doesnt work

[regal bolt]

truly a L moment

[wild wing]

do i have to bind it somewhere?

[wild wing]

okay, little update, neither does pressing l work, nor does a patch work, same issue in both scenarios

[wild wing]

okay, expedition doesnt start with quick and dirty copy paste of boomsticks and Sharpsticks, so i wont be trying that ^^

[thorn stratus]

You must long press L key just as you do in vanilla Gamma when you turn on off weapon laser sight

[wild wing]

OH! let me try that

you're a god, thanks, now it works

and it turns off the im blue dabedi dabedei shader off 😄 without "cfg_load gamma-expedition.ltx" i don't have to rerun it via console

[drifting glade]

[pastel finch]

Does anyone have a link to a good resource to learning mod making for anomaly? I have a bit of experience with Rimworld and PZ but Anomaly seems like a whole diff beast. Ty in advance

[thorn stratus]

try with this although I am not sure how exaustive or uptodate it is https://github.com/LVutner/anomaly-modding-book

also you should also ask these questions on the anomaly discord

[simple scaffold]

this is LV's branch and it is stale. maybe try to original: https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/

[thorn stratus]

yes I did not know, I only stumbled on that github a while ago out of curiosity

[worthy mortar]

I wonder if there's a mod that puts you into wounded mode when you have companions, basically letting them patch you up so you don't die on them.

And if not, how hard would it be to make one? 🤔

[random fulcrum]

there is one in moddb

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/gt-dynamic-event-rescue

[worthy mortar]

[random fulcrum]

haven't tried it since it says that it doesn't work in ironman

and i'm an ironman elitist

[worthy mortar]

"Did a quick test on ironman. The rescue team appears as normal, and you do not die, but it still deletes all your savefiles"
kek

I suppose one could try combining this with ironchild mod so death doesn't trigger save removal if you happen to get felled in battle.

But I'm far from the person to do it, lol

[azure basin]

Momo, would it be okay to DM you?

[random fulcrum]

i might blush

[vague sphinx]

Wait you're Momo ? I thought it was a completely different person xD

[random fulcrum]

changed my nick after an in-joke in the spanish channel

[azure basin]

It is a different person, I havent seen skill issue thrown out since the change. Im convinced its a body snatcher.

[vague sphinx]

I thought Momoplate had a surgery

[random fulcrum]

a skinwalker

[vague sphinx]

Take a seat, young skinwalker

[hollow turtle]

Someone should make a mod that implements smoking like My Summer Car does

Like, press & hold a button to take a drag, release the button to stop inhaling

[undone lily]

Here's the key for the next top 1 moddb addon, please someone, edit these awful mask_nm peripheric droplets textures (they need to be much smaller, or simply don't even exist), thanks

[azure basin]

I wouldnt expect to see that. Xray notoriously struggles with animations already and about half of the players total would try to just spam the animations real fast and busyhands them selves immediately.

[fair canopy]

that sounds like it would cause the busiest hands

[fluid idol]

Just give the hand-roll tobacco the old, long smoking animation

[azure basin]

I searched and couldnt find it in the discord, but I know someone mentioned an in game gun repositioning tool, any chance you remember the name?

[random fulcrum]

there's draggable hud editor

in moddb

@azure basin

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

[azure basin]

Thanks. I was searching reposition and gun. That explains things!

[fair canopy]

This has made my life so much easier

Positioning with it is very intuitive

[azure basin]

See that was the comments I remembered. And I couldnt find it XD. The thing we talked about last night there is literally 1 of them that just need to be brought up and in a small amount and it will be fine.

[fluid idol]

Is there a guide or tool for HUD/UI modding or is it all by hand?

it seems easy enough, I'm just not sure what's 0,0 in coordinates

[random fulcrum]

bruh can you i don't know,

read?

[tidal elbow]

Skill issue

Also I love your name

[azure basin]

Heh. I just saw your name change. ¿Momo protesta pacíficamente? Skinwalker lo confirmó.

[fair canopy]

Just make all the numbers 0 so people have nothing to compare

[random fulcrum]

you could also do that

but just use the hud editor thing i linked above

it makes your life easier

[fair canopy]

I think he means like the hud elements, not gun hud

[fluid idol]

I'm looking at changing the dialogue box

positioning buttons and all that is understandable, but I'm not sure how the texture definition works

[azure basin]

On a serious note. I just usually play with the numbers until it does something when it comes to xray. Because honestly half the time it feels like what it says it does and what it actually does is incorrect. Worst case you revert your changes or reinstall and it never happened. But you learned what not to do.

[fluid idol]

I'm actually looking at your LSZ mod right now

[fair canopy]

from what ive seen, the numbers work on 6 positions, which is why it seems like they do nothing lol

[random fulcrum]

oh my lord i just skill issued myself

thought slimey was talking about viewmodels

i'm sorry lmao

[fluid idol]

[fair canopy]

tbh i just played with numbers until things looked right. i use the find in file tool in notepad++ to backtrack throguh files and find what connects where

[azure basin]

I meant literally any numbers not just hud lol. Like my favorite is how recoil works for instance. Which is to say it doesn't exist.

[azure basin]

No sad cats. It makes me need to pet one of mine.

[fair canopy]

lots of the textures are defined in texture defenitions folder under configs. unpack anomaly and take a look

[azure basin]

Also advise using the mo2 filters to find out which mods do what in your modlist and look at those. Iirc things like parts in tool tip give alot of insight on how creation and display of ui elements work

[fair canopy]

yeah the search function in mo2 has saved me a lot of trouble figuring out why my changes arent being made

current hud setup

[fluid idol]

I'm looking at the one with your LSZ Dialogue mod since it's about as simple as the texture I want to use, but the numbers, Mason

no, wait, I'm stupid

those are commented out

🤓

[fair canopy]

some elements are controlled separately and can only be removed by moving them out of the frame completely

[azure basin]

It's cool. Not my style, but I do like it.

[fair canopy]

I'm not hardcore enough to play without all the info the game is willing to give me

[azure basin]

Nah it's actually not that lol. I use minimap sometimes too. The coloring and positioning just feels to video game for me? But I'm also an ultra minimalist for ui and hud so that's part of it lol

I like the readability of it, and how it looks, tbh. It's just not for me. I think it's honestly good though

[fair canopy]

Ah yeah I understand that. I like having the info there, I do wish there was an auto hide hud feature though

[still meteor]

remake bhs hud texture

[fair canopy]

Though that would probably be buggy as hell turning it back on. I can imagine it freaking out and flickering like wild

[still meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/love-art-heart-design-illustration-gif-25679071

[fair canopy]

This is just me irl. My heart close to exploding out of my peanut shaped body

Swollen ankles and and wrists from carpal tunnel

[azure basin]

Xd

No heart exploding please.

[azure basin]

Ps how many souls games have you played... because the arrangement of the elements just hit me...

[fair canopy]

All of them.

[still meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/broken-hearted-heartbroken-heart-explosion-broken-into-peaces-gif-15479503

[fluid idol]

well, it loads.

[lilac compass]

ha ha your right the health and stamina position are like souls 😛

[azure basin]

I had a feeling. I was checking it out again and realized it just was missing you arranging the quick slots in a diamond lol

[azure basin]

And the buff debuff, and one of them had a ui element above the quick access panel.

[lilac compass]

yeah I was going to say that as well at first I was looking for the diamond

[azure basin]

Not off to a bad start lol

[fluid idol]

This is the mod I'm trying to port it from, but it's on OGSR lol

[lilac compass]

Your right the buff and debuff are identical didn't notice this at first

[fair canopy]

[azure basin]

I wouldn't even be mad. Do it.

[fluid idol]

I've been wanting my quickslots to show again

[fair canopy]

That's a good start. The game works on 1024*768 and the up scales to the res you're playing on

[fluid idol]

yeah, I'm surprised it still works like that.

[fair canopy]

You could do the math to get the x and y positions

But fuck that. If you reload the game you get updated positions when you mess with the xml without having to reload the game each time

[fluid idol]

Just loading a save?

[fair canopy]

Nah, in debug mode hit f7 then f5

It reloads the whole game

[fluid idol]

takes less time than restarting I take it

[fair canopy]

Yeah

[fluid idol]

life saver

GAMMA's hefty

I'm noticing the ShoC version has a blur effect going on. Might just be the scaling

[lunar nimbus]

half of textures and positions are probably in script

[fair canopy]

Gamma has an immersion blur when in the dialog box. You'll have to remove it from the script to make it so the dialog isn't blurred

[fluid idol]

oh no, different thing. I just copied your version of the script.

[fair canopy]

The modified script is in the lsz mod

Ah yeah

[fluid idol]

The texture file has a solid white pixel border, but in the original game it's blurred out a few pixels and squished.

[fair canopy]

Groks script with literally one line removed

[fluid idol]

Blurring the part of the screen behind the box might be cool

[lunar nimbus]

when u remove 1 line other 500 can be skipped from execution ;]

whats xml with dialogue window?

[fluid idol]

talk_16.xml

[random fulcrum]

what about using dxml

[lunar nimbus]

seems like u can change placement and texture in just xml ;]

[fluid idol]

launching vanilla Anomaly might speed up testing by a lot

The mod this is from was doing some fancy compositing with their UI

[random fulcrum]

half of the time budget went into producing the ui

[fluid idol]

the whole thing was really high quality for being mostly one guy's work

also looking at making the frost effect a replacement for mask droplets

[lunar nimbus]

make it zoom in on their face like in oblivion so we can see 2 polygons

[fluid idol]

I've been using the wrong texture file this whole time

the proper one is already 1024x768 no manual coordinates required

[undone lily]

Not yet In gamma and jt can cause performance issues (which should be fixed now)

[fluid idol]

It Just Works

[fluid idol]

there's no word wrap

aside from that, though, looking decent

[azure basin]

Dude that's Hella progress

[fluid idol]

[azure basin]

Nice work!

[undone lily]

@turbid plinth ask that it's for your modpack, which modpack etc here to Yuri, not in #🖇old-mods-posting

[undone lily]

dialog.zip nice 😄

[turbid plinth]

In short, I’ll just indicate the author of the texture, so as not to fuck a person

[undone lily]

Yeah but people don’t know why you ask them

[turbid plinth]

Well, all of a sudden, then people will fly in to me again and will write something behind the AK texture, that's why I'm asking, ahah

[fluid idol]

Now I just need to figure out why the scrollbars aren't showing

[fair canopy]

they may be off the screen. good job though!

[fluid idol]

that's definitely it, ha

I'm gonna redo this with the default GAMMA dialogue texture so I can upload this without having to ask somebody on moddb

[turbid plinth]

Can I have the role of Abobus?

[fair canopy]

just do what i did and rip the texture from existing files

paint.net works wonders when youre just tryin to copy paste stfuff

[fluid idol]

nah I mean I'm pretty sure this was custom for that mod

[fair canopy]

oh i mean use existing gamma textures to fit what you need for the dialogue box by overlaying the original

[fluid idol]

oh, right

[fair canopy]

the way i did it was lasso out the back texture and then frame and layer them over the existing box so it fitx

[fluid idol]

If I squish the default GAMMA dialogue box I don't think I'll even need to edit it

here we go again

[worthy mortar]

Wide theme starts playing

[fair canopy]

Easiest way to get it perfect is to load both and then just paste the gamma one over the other on in a different layer

Then just squeeze it to fit the one you want and you're done

[fluid idol]

true, probably a better idea than trying to do it in the code.

Which dds format should I be saving these in? DXT5 destroys the transparent details

[fair canopy]

Shit Grok posted it a few days ago but I don't remember the exact name

It's like b6 something

Im not at my pc to check rn

[fluid idol]

Think I found it

Yep, that looks good

B8G8R8A8 (Linear, A8R8G8B8)

[fluid idol]

done

[steady apex]

try to save it with nvidia texture tools in dxt5

[fluid idol]

doing it with pdn seemed to work

[undone lily]

@steady apex Do you think of a way to move the actor camera a tiny bit from few ° so the character is centered on the left of the dialog window ? Honestly it's freaking cool XD

[steady apex]

I can try something tomorrow

[undone lily]

got some fun with actor and NPCs position offsetting but never with camera offset

not even sure there's an addon doing it... Only thing I can think of is camera animations but that would be kinda lame

[simple scaffold]

in order to account for assorted monitor resolutions i'd move the camera a bit and compare the before and after world2ui for the npc's head and iterate. could combine it with a staged FOV change so the camera adjustments are smoothed a bit by the fov changes. goal end result pan and zoom effect.

Having a 21:9 monitor breaks so many things. like the 3DPA map gets squished turning all the circles into tall ovals.

[steady apex]

World2ui will definitely help position things. Just need to prepare myself that 30 line script will be bloated to 300

[lunar nimbus]

isnt it just db.actor:set_actor_direction

move to device().cam_dir(x or z) - some
(or with that azimuth angle shit idk ur matematicians here xd)

[undone lily]

oh that simple ? never used this

[lunar nimbus]

its used only to give actor correct direction on level change

and its gonna jump into this direction, not move smoothly

[simple scaffold]

yes, except finding the angle to move the view to will be dependant on FOV, rez, and intial camera location.. If you have a target location for the face in the UI space, then turning the camera part way and see how close you get to the target UI space cord relative to the original UI space location of the head. you then come up with another camera adjustment based on that. This lets you ignore the rez and fov

[lunar nimbus]

https://tenor.com/view/silvio-the-sopranos-overstated-tony-soprano-christopher-gif-15186849

for simply changing direction for 1-2 degrees xd

[simple scaffold]

oh and distance to the NPC from the camera. you need to turn more to center an npc at max interaction distance than you do for one you are grouping

[lunar nimbus]

move camera to object first when dialogue opens and then change it to between 1-3 degrees based on distance

tho im not quite sure when function that moves camera to object stops, when edge of object is in cursor? when middle of object is in cursor? xd
(or isnt camera during dialogue window already focused on object?)

function some_func(fov)
  -- calc distance + fov and return degrees xd
end

    local fov = option_get_fov_idk_how()
    local dir = vector_rotate_y(db.actor:direction(), 360 - (some_func(fov)))
db.actor:set_actor_direction(dir)

i'd just move it for a fixed amount left regardless of fov/distance and nobody would notice anyway ;p

[simple scaffold]

with the modified dialog box the NPC is already in view. The request was for centered, in the remaining non dial;og space

[lunar nimbus]

still seems like nobody will notice, but anyway code above should work if u calculate it right

[drifting glade]

@tepid moat from RU chat told me that there shouldn't be a problem translating in spanish. At least I think the translation of essential add-ons is possible. Someone knows the what the logs said about errors when the Spanish translation was tested?

[random fulcrum]

what the fuck the spanish translation already happened?

[drifting glade]

was tested

the guy that was going to do it said it was too hard

and puff, no more translation work

[tepid moat]

@drifting glade specific characters written as code

[fluid idol]

@steady apex You deleted the script edit that removed the DOF effect in your version of my mod

[steady apex]

lmao

sorry, i tested it on my local stripped install, might have been killed in action

i restore it

[fair canopy]

why does your professor have a gun?

[fluid idol]

I noticed a random stalker that made the camera look over his head, for some reason, but it's a neat feature overall. 👍

[fluid idol]

I donated him a gun and he equipped it.

You know Sakharov keeps it strapped

[lilac compass]

Never thought it made much sense they don't have guns scientists need to defend themselves too

[lilac compass]

can you make edits to a .ltx file in game? Or is it advised to quit out first?

[steady apex]

You can edit ltx, then in F7 debug press refresh system ini, and then refresh game

[lilac compass]

ok cheers

[lilac compass]

I have done my own edits to the kriss vector of Andtheherois to fit a leupold rmr does the rmr look right or do the hands look strange?

[steady apex]

looks like the model is clipping

full oblivion style, need your opinions

[lilac compass]

well the model won't be perfect it's taken from a ump 45

[steady apex]

so differences:
tracking camera to npc head
dependant on the distance zooming

[steep compass]

current hud setup

[lilac compass]

oh sorry you were talking about your mod

[ornate spade]

why did you take a screenshot at nighttime when you can't see it that well

[steady apex]

nah it was to yours, looks very busy and what aoldri said

full oblivion style need your opinions

[lilac compass]

well I can't do much about the night this is a test save and when I began it it just happened to be night time and what do you mean by it looks too busy? What do I need to change?

[ornate spade]

F7 -> 3 to open weather editor and change time to daytime

[lilac compass]

ok fair enough will do

[steady apex]

by busy i mean on the screenshot the red dot and optics and hands are all very close and big, its either your fov settings or they are clipping to each other

[lilac compass]

well I can zoom it out more

fov is gamma vanilla I didn't touch it

ok new screen shot of the ump 45 I took the sight from for comparison

ump 45 looks pretty close as well

I see what you mean though it should be more like this

[undone lily]

IRL you wouldn't hold the gun this way, also yes, the camera needs to be much farther away, change the Z value (in blue) in the hud editor 😉

[visual tendon]

Has Dux posted any more WiPs of the new DICK update?
All the new portraits looked hella interesting

[lilac compass]

Yeah I'll muck with it a bit more the ump 45 needs to be fixed as well by the looks of things as it's very close as well

[thin kelp]

no sorry, development is kinda stalled since im studying full time on my masters, i start the masters project itself in a few months

if i ever get some more free time i will post whatever progress i make here 🙂

[visual tendon]

Oof understandable, good luck with the project man.

[simple scaffold]

i like it.

someone will ask for the head tracking to stop once zoomed in. someone else will say they kind of like the swaying but maybe you could blur the background so the parallax motion is less intrusive.

someone else will say the addon is stupid without actualy downloading it.

[steady apex]

[lilac compass]

I have tweaked the leupold rmr for the kriss vector more from before how does it look now? Do I need to orient alt rotation more to the left or is it fine where it is?

[lilac compass]

ok now I think it is finished this looks as natural as it's going to get I believe

[drifting glade]

https://youtu.be/4vY5B2Hjwkk I was observing the pistol holds and it got me that CoD is shit in regards of gameplay and balance, but what they do really well is the aesthetic side of guns, like the gripping, animations, etc.

The pistol holding in Anomaly and add-ons has the left arm very limp to a "proper" pistol holding. In the video I attached the dude shows all the differences and stuff. Perhaps it would be nice to straighten the left arm of the grips, but I don't know how difficult it could be with all the red dots, scopes, etc. My main problem is that I don't know anything about modelling hahaha. I'm only modifing files for balance purpose and trying to document what the enhanced_recoilbyGrok™ values do.

[drifting glade]

I usually edit the ltx, then f7 and f5 to reset the world

[lilac compass]

Yes I was advised to do this a while ago thanks anyway

[lilac compass]

This would make sense for more experienced paramilitary groups sss,duty,freedom,merc,unisig ect but less experienced stalkers like loner probably would make mistakes with grip

[edgy tendon]

please no blur, that's like dof

[fluid idol]

Only when you open the dialogue menu, it'd be fjne

[edgy tendon]

still bad, i like looking where i want to look

[fluid idol]

It's already zooming in on the NPC, where are you looking?

[fair canopy]

i want a patch for antisocial people where you look down at the npc's shoes

[edgy tendon]

at the chimera that's about to jump on my npc fren from behind!

[fair canopy]

or to the side of their head, but never directly at their eyes

[edgy tendon]

add mouselook during dialogue for awkward stalkers

[fluid idol]

I ran into an Eco NPC that made the camera look up over his head

[random fulcrum]

an amogus guy?

those have their head bones in kinda funky places

since they don't have faces

[undone lily]

the red dot should be the other way around I think ? Like on the right

[tidal elbow]

@fluid idol congrats for the mod, looks dope

[drifting glade]

@steady apex your revision of the recoil of gboobs is amazing, the mcm menu is so useful

[lunar nimbus]

bullet time demonized edition wen

[fluid idol]

ha, thanks, but I didn't really have anything to do with the moddb version past feedback, demonized is a wizard

[tidal elbow]

Well then

@steady apex congrats for the mod, looks dope

[fluid idol]

@steady apex talk_16 is the widescreen file if I understand correctly, what's talk.xml used for, 4:3?

[lilac compass]

It's the model I can't change it this is the model the ump 45 uses I wasn't sure if the other leupold rmr model would fit the kiss vector I could test it out later I just wanted a functional leupold rmr for my own personal use

[steady apex]

Yes exactly

[fathom dagger]

I really like the idea of a "high stakes" package delivery quest. You get a heavy quest item to deliver to a place very far from where you are but the reward is great!

[azure basin]

New HERA Laser Alt Aim Hud. Thoughts?

[unique pike]

Better than defold weird shit

[azure basin]

With scopes

[azure basin]

Yeah that was odd. Why the gun literally went to hip level... no idea

The position I wanted which was a little less turned just used too much screen space sadly.

[unique pike]

I think be better if you rotate it little bit left

[azure basin]

I actually tried that one, but it basically pulls way too much off screen and realistically would take too much like gymnast body mechanics imo. But if more agree I'll go with you guys.

One of my concerns with pulling too much off scree. Is it kinda makes the weapon too good cqc. I want it usable, but vision should be obscured a bit as a downside.

[thorn pollen]

is that a MAWL laser ?

can you make it dark and activate a NVG just to get the feel a bit more ?

[azure basin]

It's whatever comes on the hera, no changes just fixing the fact the the normal alt aim was crazy. Lol sadly I can't as I shut down pc.

[thorn pollen]

ah

yeah its the MAWL Laser, problem is , that thing up front is THICK as fuck, so it blocks the laser a bit

i would maybe go a very slight bit lower from the FOV and cant the gun a tiny bit more to the left

okay no too low and the scope would make issues

[azure basin]

Yup if it's not that it's the freaking scope I wouldn't say this isnt my favorite look but my favorite didn't work with scope. Yeah I tried that I'll post a screen of it tomorrow but basically there's almost no gun on screen if you do that.

[static bough]

Yeah there definitely needs to be gun on the screen

[thorn pollen]

unfortunate, but if you cant fine tune it anymore then leave it as it is now

[azure basin]

I'm sure someone could probably do better but that was roughly 3 hours of reposing and settling on that as a happy medium

yea deffo

the MAWL is fucking ugly anyway, a PEQ would make your life a lot easier lmao

[azure basin]

One of the big things too is animation. So in that spot it looks like a true can't when switching while ads

[thorn pollen]

look at this ugly PoS

[normal relic]

There's a few guns who's alt aim is just shoving the gun to the side and aim either side

[azure basin]

Yeah I hate them.

XD

[thorn pollen]

cant wait for the MP7 alt aim lmao

[normal relic]

But the hera is simply too chunk for either

[azure basin]

Not happening by me. Imo you either ket your smg 1 handed or you get it with alt aim

[thorn pollen]

1 handed only pre upgraded alt aim only post upgrade

but that would make no sense

maybe simply disable the alt aim once its 1 handed

[normal relic]

I don't think you can do that tho

[thorn pollen]

we will see

i saw grok with a upgraded MP7 in one of his earlier showcases tho

looked pretty sweet

only gun missing would be the SR-25 getting some love

[azure basin]

Too my knowledge you can't do the disable alt aim when one handed.

Sr25 just got all its dynamic zooms fixed lol

[thorn pollen]

yeah......but i want a upgrade kit for it

canted T1 , hell yea

[lunar nimbus]

whenever i come to this channel everyone is talking about guns

[azure basin]

It's because I had posted ss of a hera repos for alt aim

why did u post ss

Anyone knows where to find a good textures from the mp5 weapons?

[undone lily]

Port it from Tarkov, work on the texture specular and bumpmap, enjoy adding the 12 compatible BAS sights manually on blender, export the 12 models, enjoy doing the gun positioning by hand for each sight using dragguable weapon HUD editor addon + debug mode in game, edit the ltx accordingly, post this sexy gun over moddb and earn free v-bucks, welcome to Anomaly weapon modding

[narrow stirrup]

Actually the mp5 looks amazing after read this idk why

[vague sphinx]

Thought so as well

[worthy mortar]

This is how modding works.

You say "This doesn't look as good as it could."
Decide to do it yourself.
See the mountain of work that needs to be done so it looks great.
Decide that what is already in game looks as good as it can.

Though I wouldn't mind a port of Gunslinger MP5 and Bizon models

[drifting glade]

fucking stalker, I hope with the sequel modding the shit out of the game becomes easier

[drifting glade]

Those gun models looking amazing. I know animation porting is impossible due to a different bone structure, but damn we could at least do with the weapons themselves.

[drifting glade]

yeh, they look fine

in a way I think with enhanced recoil and stuff we got a pretty good base to improve shit

[random fulcrum]

you'd end with a huge chunk of unused stuff clogging filesize

[worthy mortar]

Personally I'm not a huge fan of CWWP at the moment :T
The guns look too clean and interact oddly with the lighting. Hoping once it's all finished and properly textured and shaded so it fits the feel of the zone my opinion changes. Though my other grip is the animations. They are cool and clean, sure, but they also don't really fit that stalker feel for me.

Gunslinger animations for example work perfectly because that's what you expect them to look like. Major Degtyarev is a trained member of the army. He should know how to handle a gun properly.
In the hands of a normal stalker they would feel a bit out of place. This is where BlindxSides animations come in. They fit the bill here perfectly.

[undone lily]

To comment on this, there’s no shader addon in these videos. Add ES + SSS and they will look much better. Cr3pis might be able to share some screens with you if he got the approval of the CWWP dev team.

Also, CWWP has custom camo you can apply through some console commands

And animations are of top quality

Ah... Scripting.
I am facing the good ole "Where the fuck did that piece of code go into" moment.

[random fulcrum]

best part about scripting is loading into the game and going "how did this even work"

[narrow stirrup]

Anyone knows if there is any mod that add you some dof when you are reloading a weapon as gunslinger mod ?

[random fulcrum]

disable the gamma thing of adding dof when opening your backpack

god knows where the fuck is it

but disable that

and then ingame enable dof

and whenever you reload you'll be blind

[narrow stirrup]

thanks hope i can find it

[still meteor]

Thing is

It Will enabled dof while aiming and its very bad

[narrow stirrup]

You cant calibrate on console?

[random fulcrum]

afaik no

you'd have to patch all guns

[undone lily]

lol yeah that's awesome xD

[undone lily]

the easiest is to write a script that triggers console command fov with the good parameters for the duration of the reloading animation

I can make it, it's easy, but priorities

hardest part is having the animation length, but I know it's used in some already published scripts of some addons

[narrow stirrup]

That's gonna be an edit for each weapon? i mean all weapon have the same time to reload?

[undone lily]

No you read it directly from the animation data

[drifting glade]

someone have documented more or less the changes between 1.5.1 and 1.5.2. And what changes have to be done to gamma to port it to 1.5.2?

[random fulcrum]

it's mostly modder related stuff

not much meaningful bugfixes and whatevs

I heard there was someone here with tutorials for animation making. If anyone has it please share, if there’s a method to export from blender I could start making animations right now https://youtu.be/UgiWkp6hw28 here is something I made for new Vegas. Or dm me if you know how to or something

Ps. Please @ me

[woven mountain]

http://sdk.stalker-game.com/en/index.php?title=Weapon_import
"This tutorial will only teach you how to get a basic BOX weapon into the game and do some really basic animation work using Maya."
Probably not what you're looking for though

[ornate spade]

in the anomaly discord, Firebreath wrote an overview on tools for animation:
#883097205710389288 message

[untold path]

damn i hate maya!

It is better than nothing at all, thank you friends

[ornate spade]

you can use Blender with PavelBlend to export animations with either Pavelblends or Ichicrows rig

[untold path]

this seems very promising

[ornate spade]

for the steps involved, you can look at this message chain:
#883097205710389288 message

[woven mountain]

You might want to ask Grok about it. I know he uses blender (mostly model changes I think but maybe some animation changes) and he absolutely fucking hates using it so you might be able to help him a lot there

[untold path]

the process for fallout new vegas is pretty easy thanks to the scripter kormakurr, he made a plugin that lets you easily exchange animations for any weapon in the game, even modded

[untold path]

I'm not a good model or texture worker but im pretty good with animations, if I can switch out existing animations for better (no offense) I am happy to help

also I use blender all the time even for my job

im scared to @ him though so ill just hope he reads this haha

[woven mountain]

Are you open to suggestions to an animation to play with starting off?

[woven mountain]

@undone lily

[tidal elbow]

I'll never understand this fear of pinging people...

And I have the same fear as well...

[untold path]

I don't want to bother someone who probably gets @ a lot

for something someone else told me

when i started animating for new vegas and asking around everywhere people just plucked me up and sent me into a server

didnt have to @ anyone

[woven mountain]

I've pinged him probably a dozen times and have DM'ed him dozens of time and he's never once said not to ping/DM

[untold path]

ok yes but im shy 👉 👈

Anyways please for the love of god work on the Kar98k

i havent used it haha

the aug animations bug me a lot 😬

[untold path]

i cant really do anything about the textures like i said im just bad at it, but i can salvage any gun if its an animation thing

[woven mountain]

Grok never really specified which one was bad for which. Only one I know that is atrocious is Kar98k

You can debug it in or just spawn with it

Actually fuck it ill record it

[random fulcrum]

why the fuck is the austrian getting axed

i wanted to replace that gun with the dust cover thing

and make it compatible with more scopes

[tidal elbow]

Bad textures/model/anims

Do it at this point, Grok could consider to add it

[random fulcrum]

i mean it's siber's stuff

will do

[woven mountain]

@untold path G43 + K98k

[untold path]

oof

look man like i told you im an arrow you just gotta point me in the direction

[azure basin]

Blender and Pavlov blend. Kar98 is a great starting one to be honest.

[ornate spade]

for the future, I figure it'd be better to ask in #modding-arts in the Anomaly discord if you have any pointed questions for animation since there's probably more animators over there

[untold path]

Good idea, I’ll do that

My main focus isn’t how to animate it, more the technical parts like importing and exporting. I think anomaly guys will know.

[azure basin]

Oh that's actually not that hard

You use pavelblend plug in for blender requires blender 2.93 or lower

It's just an addon you install and it let's you import and export anomaly files

[ornate spade]

I've used pavelblend for blender v3

[azure basin]

Weird I couldn't get blender to import it and their git says 2.93

[untold path]

and then to place it in the game you dont need to do some wacky unpack and repacking stuff?

like valve games

[fair canopy]

This was also my problem

[azure basin]

Not to my knowledge but I could also ne very wrong. Find the anomaly modding guide on github it should have that info

[untold path]

Thanks, I was really worried for a second I might have to learn Russian proper to get to mod this game

Спасибо

[fair canopy]

You'll have to get then stalker sdk. Animations need to be repacked together

There's a pin with a video that shows how yo do the i/e for animations

[untold path]

damn i knew it

[ornate spade]

I mean its not necessary, you can still just use blender for exporting animations for use in game

only it doesn't support is like motion marks in omf

[fair canopy]

You can modify anims without having to repack them?

[ornate spade]

yeah, you can export and set it to replace particular motions in the omf

idk what you mean by 'repack' specifically i guess

[fair canopy]

Based on Barry bogs video it seemed that you needed to put the hand and hud animations back together via the sdk to make it work

[azure basin]

[paper oxide]

Question about readjusting weapon models, so my way of doing these is going through the config files and adjusting the numbers. Now in some weapon mods (mainly the RPG reanimation, DLTX Vykhlop, & DLTX Shak 12 Tactical) when adjusted, disappear. The weapon model itself disappears, but still usable, shooting and reloading are still possible and has sounds. So why does this happen? I never touched anything else, I double checked.

It doesn't happen with every weapon with DLTX implementation, the MG42 turned out fine

This is what it should look like:

[random fulcrum]

maybe item_orientation or item_position have values other than 0, 0, 0 in their respective ltx files

[paper oxide]

Hmmmm, never paid attention to those, lemme check

Nah they're all zeros

[random fulcrum]

then i don't know

[fair canopy]

Is the gun way too far to the right or left?

[paper oxide]

Doing my own positions for all the weapon mods that I currently have, personal preference after playing project reality

Gave the guns a bit of a tilt inspired by Battlefield's weapons, makes it look a bit more weighty IMO

[bold gyro]

I've a question: Does anybody know if the sound effects for the anomalies are mono or in stereo?

I'm messing around with potentially making new sfx for the anomalies.

[undone lily]

Mono

44.1Khz

[vast spruce]

Eyh @azure basin. Sorry for the ping but could you explain a bit what your part_match_items script work ?
Latest patch broke this mod : #🖇old-mods-posting message
The melee items it add makes the game crash when you hover them and I want to attempt a fix.

[azure basin]

Ah yes it would. to fix that you just need to add:

            exclude = true
            return
        end```

right below that one and change axe to whatever comes right after wpn_ without the number.

What this addon does is just basically ensure that guns no longer spawn with armor parts instead of gun parts. So basically when you look at a weapon or take it to inventory it will just check it to ensure that it has weapon parts, if it doesnt it will reroll them. You can disable it tbh with no issues.

[vast spruce]

Add it at the end of the part_match_items.script ?

[azure basin]

Whats the weapon id for those items?

[vast spruce]

Found them here

[azure basin]

Oh its just the fire axe. Give me one sec and Ill put up a special copy for you

[vast spruce]

To be noted that I did not hover the fireaxe, just any weapon added by that mod.

[azure basin]

Here you go, patched for the fire_axe

[vast spruce]

You're the MVP, trying it now

[azure basin]

Yeah, please let me know if it doesnt work. But it should

[vast spruce]

It doesn't alas

[azure basin]

What did he set it as...

Hang on I downloaded the files lol

AH

He has a whole bunch of custom melee sections

[random fulcrum]

what the fuck are those melees brother

and why haven't you shared them

[vast spruce]

I stick with the axe. But if you want them, it's here : #🖇old-mods-posting message

[azure basin]

@vast spruce Try that. Its not pretty but it should work.

[vast spruce]

I love you

[azure basin]

Excellent! Ill make a prettier version later. As there were only knife and axe in gamma I didnt worry about other melee types lol

[vast spruce]

Thank you so much for the support for a mod that isn't even in vanilla

[azure basin]

Was easy fix, so no worries!

[bold gyro]

Threw this together in two-ish hours. Thoughts? The Electro anomaly sounded basic af.

[vast spruce]

Sound very cool, although I hope it isn't that loud in game

Also doesn't the electro anomaly act with "pulses" ? Your sound is continuous.

True. The reference I used was the electro anomaly in GS that is just a massive field of electricity. It wouldn't be too difficult to splice up the sample and have it pulsate. The only problem is getting it to match with the visual of the anomaly. The volume is an easy fix with some mixing down and rendering out at a few db less. I don't have the actual sfx as a reference for the bouncing/mixing.

[random fulcrum]

maybe use this for the ambient sound of the anomaly?

also it sounds really metal

[lunar nimbus]

theres time in bind_anomaly_field

[bold gyro]

I wanted it to feel "otherwordly" and also like it was a mass of condensed energy since it practically discharges in a massive burst the moment it touches anything. I took some samples of electrical signals and pitched them down to create the low humming bass frequencies. Overlayed over that is a bunch of different kinds of electrical sound effects and more signals of electrical cables shorting out. Then, I took some samples of someone striking a metal cable and pitched them down/reversed them to create this weird reality-warping sound effect. The metallic droning is from some reverb I applied on an electrical signal combined with distortion. I thought it harmonized decently enough with the other sound effects to sound like some sort of instrument.

The twangs of the metal cables, I thought of editing them and pitching them down differently from one another to make it less recognizable.

[sullen dew]

make it 50hz for realism

[bold gyro]

But yeah, I thought about it as an ambient sound for the anomaly.

The discharge would get a separate sound effect.

What do you think about not being able to sprint while reloading? Or alternatively, having a chance to fumble or fail your reload

[random fulcrum]

nah

where dxml addons

[vast spruce]

It will just be infuriating and add tedium.

[vague sphinx]

People tends to want games likes that to have said feature, rarely the other way around

[fluid idol]

OGSR GA has that, it's mostly annoying, since you can reload while sprinting if you start the reload first.

it's possible to assign the stalker identification popup to follow the specific npc?
saw this screenshot and was thinkin about that, maybe using this addon as base?

[fair canopy]

Does this addon work by changing the texture for the binoc ID frame?

[thorn stratus]

it's not modmaking question but I don't know where to ask but here where all the geniuses congregates

is it possible to grab the download link of resources pasted in chat beside writing it by hand from the bottom bar?

[sullen dew]

if you hover over the link for the file itself, it should have the option "copy link" in the dialog box below the others

[thorn stratus]

it copies the discord link not the file

however I found a way, good old inspect page

[sullen dew]

you don't get this option at the bottom going right over the link itself?

[fluid idol]

Doesn't copying the discord link work the same? If I paste it into my browser it downloads it.

It's literally the URL you get from Inspect

[sullen dew]

it can, sometimes. others just bring you to the discord message itself, like what happens in my spreadsheet. not the most elegant or ideal way, but it works

[thorn stratus]

I need the url of the file

[fluid idol]

Yes, that's what Copy Link gives you

[regal bolt]

make sure to right click on the text, instead of the gray box

it's the difference between "Copy Link" and "Copy Message Link"

[thorn stratus]

right clicking on the name doesnt work, if I right click on the download icon I only get copy message link

[fluid idol]

Right click the blue file name

[thorn stratus]

right clicking on the text does nothing for me, very strange

[fluid idol]

[regal bolt]

that is very odd
glad you found a workaround despite that difficulty

[sullen dew]

yeah idk what could be making it do that, might be discord API being shit again idk

[thorn stratus]

might be permissions or role who knows

[regal bolt]

shouldn't be, since I have zero roles
unless there's something invisible going on here, but that would require effort from the moderators
so that's impossible

[thorn stratus]

when I right click at the file name I don't get any context menu, while if I left click I get this popup

maybe some sort of protection, or my settings. I am not even sure if there is user settings in discord

ok there is usersettings

[fluid idol]

That's normal

I can right click the file and get a link, and clicking it to download shows that.

[woven mountain]

[mortal bay]

okay so basically not mod making but mod editing

i wanted to change some sprinting animations for my favourite gun p99 so i opened the .ltx file with lowest priority, changed the entry on sprinting anims and saved but it didnt change the sprinting anim in the game

im kinda surprised because it worked for me in every single modpack before gamma

can somebody care to explain what i'm missing?

i basically swapped the entry from regular cz75 sprint anim entry to either glock or korth anim entries and neither work

[azure basin]

lower weapons on sprint mod.

You would need to add p99 to the exclusions

[mortal bay]

ohhhhhhh

is it obvious how to add those exclusions or are there any shenanigans involved?

ok, it looks like i should be able to tackle it

ok, ive done it. thanks for the help @azure basin 🙂

[azure basin]

I set it up to be pretty simple, just add it to the table as I am sure you figured out XD

Yes! My guy finally waves the pistol while sprinting just the way i like it

[inner ravine]

I'm trying to work out something for busy hands. Where could I find a resource for the meaning of certain inputs/how to put some lines into a script to do what I intend?

I'm no coder, I'm just trying to create a 'selective' input lock

As in I'd like to only lock certain keys of the keyboard for a set period of time, such as the length of a single animation

I checked pins but didn't find anything in particular, if this is the wrong channel then my bad

[inner ravine]

Alternatively, how would I go about accessing the player script? Specifically for accessing what determines button presses and the like

[azure basin]

If you're talking about direct input reading thats half engine half script lol

For the scripts unpack your game

[willow chasm]

someone write to the anomaly staff that they have a broken transition from the third person to the first when you have a weapon in their hands and the usual version of the pda (not 3D) does not work, thank you..

[unborn sorrel]

[willow chasm]

about the non-working near_border function, I will not say anything at all

XRay fucking Monolith Edition

[lunar nimbus]

engine is fine

unless it returns null and its not nil in lua

[willow chasm]

is that why the degradation of the psi protection artifact does not work from the psi anomaly, but from the strip of the main character's condition?

[lunar nimbus]

degradation isnt even in game, blame addons

[willow chasm]

Yes, addons are to blame for the fact that they do not have normal exports in the engine, even the calculation of the transferred weight + degradation of the artifact, everything needs to be done by scripts.

[lunar nimbus]

i still dont see how its related to engine, degradation is u set condition with lua, save with lua, load with lua 🤷‍♂️

[willow chasm]

Nevermind, I'm just going to have a mental breakdown soon, because everything works on some kind of crutches

@lunar nimbus when arena stash fix? -_-

[lunar nimbus]

now

You know a good tutorial to edit UI element ?

[hidden marten]

Do you have links or documentations to share with me ?

the best way would be to download a hud mod and look at what they've modified

a lot of huds are based on SID hud which makes it easy to modify hud elements

Finally i found how basically that work.

X,Y from the top left corner and width, height (right, down).

[wanton knot]

Hey guys, is there a config where I can change specific audio volumes? Like voices for example

[lunar nimbus]

no

[hidden marten]

You need to edit the audio file directly. https://audioalter.com/volume

""Online easy way""

[wanton knot]

Oh perfect, thank you! 🙂

I mean not perfect, would love to be able to set it in a config file but hey! XD

[undone lily]

Actor voicelines ?

it comes from the script

[hidden marten]

Yep ! You are right, i was not looked into the script.

[undone lily]

yes. I boosted some voicelines volumes because NPCs talking next to you would often be louder than your own voice which is really weird

[hidden marten]

But if he does that, I recommend to copy this file in a personal add-on to avoid losing his modification since next update.

[hidden marten]

In SCO3, there is a way to cooldown out_spook sound ? Because, now i found it's like a cheap horror movie with just too many sound everywhere ! :p

@undone lily By sunfiles, you mean Anamflares folder, sunmask.dds, and suns.ltx

Here you go

[buoyant widget]

What about a simple 'wet clothes' mechanic like in SCUM for example, your equipment (Suit, Backpack ..) gets wet and heavy during the rain and you have to sit by a campfire to dry it off or maybe add a craftable drying rack of some sort..
just an idea

[edgy tendon]

that's sounds quite misery-esque to me

cool idea though, for the lowest tier armour that makes sense, not so waterproof as a sunrise suit or something

[buoyant widget]

thats the idea.. it gives you more sh*t to worry about

interesting, so you basically have to look at your bodytemp to avoid penalties of fever. It doesnt touch the weight values (wetness) of your gear right?
still pretty cool though, ill try it

@still meteor i had "pure virtual function call" error too while were testing various dxml stuff with ZCP 1.4 (no adding characters, just adding dialog lines and stuff), i think its not even related to that, doesnt make sense too me. Upgrading ZCP to the latest version seems to solve this issue

as for dxml stuff, i think text strings such as <string id="garbage_guide_meet_0"> <text>Who are you?.</text> </string>
can be put into new xml file inside text/eng(rus) directory, so they arent required to be "dxmlified" to be compativle. and the ids can be duplicated. The latest met id will be used

to start the engine you need to press detector key

[undone lily]

they also don't protect you from anomalies

but killing mutants and stalkers with cars is fun

[lilac compass]

That's a nice touch as helicopters are not protected from anomalies either

Ehi, there is a mod, dltx groza custom (a 7.62x39 weapond with gl and lam) that i've downladed from here. It's very good, but the author did one error:using march scope, you can use dynamic zoom, but only the first time: when you switch to secondary aim/gl, when you aim again with the scope, you can't use the dinamic zoom, so you have unload the grenade (this is the only groza that suffer the vanilla gl bug) put away the scope and the put it back. You now have dynamic zoom again, congrats, but wait: when you switch to secondary aim you have, again, the same problem. So basically you are stuck to static zoom, which it's not terrible but it's a problem anyway. I hope this text can reach the author (i don't remember it's name).

[drifting glade]

what are the errors that gives the new bas?

[random fulcrum]

incompatibilities with larkin's part fixer

not being added yet to cr3pis icons so they don't have icons

not being added yet to the (bas) label removal so their names and descriptions are also fucked

most, if not all new weapons from this update have borked ads shooting anims

as in, they briefly go back to hipfire before reaiming

new weapons have their fov locked and don't use jsrs sounds

and obviously don't have eft reposition alignments

among other things

but those are the most apparent ones

[fair canopy]

thats not an error. thats an engine glitch that happens with all guns

[thick anvil]

but it's only in GAMMA? Because in Anomaly never happened to me

[fair canopy]

pda issue?

[random fulcrum]

larkin tried to help me out but anything i've tried so far doesn't work

viewing or equipping looted pdas makes them disappear

ah, that popped up with 1.5.2 right?

[random fulcrum]

yeah that thing

like, i've tried disabling zcp 1.5d and nothing

supposedly that was the cause of the issue

tried with vanilla gamma, no shot

[fair canopy]

why not try looking at the script changes between 1.5.1 and 1.5.2? i havent been using zcp 1.5d for a while and ive had it since gamma updated to 1.5.2 with zcp 1.4

either that or maybe they were changed to a different kind of object which gamma is overriding?

[unborn sorrel]

zcp 1.5 and FDDA caused it for me, cant help further sry

[fair canopy]

we should just get rid of fdda

Any mod that gives more max uses to items like medkits and others ?

Good chance there's a DLTX one on moddb if you look

[fair canopy]

i think it's called tweaked meds

you can modify the uses via a dltx file so it's easy to adjust

[livid hazel]

thank you very much

[random fulcrum]

the pda issue was because of people refusing to do dltx for basic stuff

[drifting glade]

this could be a good track?

[still meteor]

no, there is for other stalker projects
