Look how other files is done and do similar. Those string nodes should be inside "string_table" node or sth, forgot how it's called

[still meteor]

you are right, my bad, was missing the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1251" standalone="yes" ?>
<string_table>

</string_table>

thanks

[fathom wagon]

So I am currently playing with the RPG mod from inakringibs and man everything is super OP. Been playing with it and tweaking stuff as I go to make it fair/not completely broken.

Latest breakthrough when balancing the "recharging devices perk" was also adding "recharging" anything attached to the belt. Still gotta find a really good value for it to not feel super cheat-y.

Slowly increasing. Might make it only affect Artifacts at a certain condition threshold to avoid slapping on a 1% artifact and waiting for it to hit 100%

So for devices, I made sure it didn't create batteries out of thin air (which was a bug it had).
For the belt, I have it only start recharging slowly if the attachment is at least at 50%. Might look into leaving junk/perk artifacts out of the recharge as that would be really unbalanced.

Quick bug I found in GAMMA's rework in tandem with my change: if an Artifact's condition is 100%, the randomizer for condition will kick in and reduce it (including if it was at 100% and on your belt). Might have to look into finding a way to fix that.

I might just have the artifacts recharge up to 95%. Seems the way to go.

[misty mauve]

How do you like it?

[fathom wagon]

That is preem. Love the look of it.

[drifting glade]

the only thing that give me crashes with my patch for magsredux and the new bas is the remington700

[random fulcrum]

what the fuck mags is based?

[simple scaffold]

what date is your mags redux zip?

[still meteor]

nvm found another way

[drifting glade]

the newestgithub, but it seems that I got it

im going to do some tests and shit

[fair canopy]

@undone lily dunno if you saw but i posted a BAS patch for gamma

[tired coral]

looking at the radiation types from different artefacts ive seen Gamma and Beta radiation. While a lead-lined container is certainly needed to contain gamma its overkill for beta. Beta is a proton to a neutron, positron, and electron neutrino or a neutron to a proton, electron, an an anti-electron neutrino. Beta radiation can pierce the upper layers of skin but can be stopped by fabric or plastics. as such a plastic container or bits of cloth is enough to protect from beta decay from an artefact. As such can we or how could i go about making this change?

[fluid idol]

it's just gameplay

[random fulcrum]

it's just flavor text

put in place some time ago for easier reading different tiers

[undone lily]

Fixed existing saves compatibility ?

[fair canopy]

possibly

I didn't have existing saves to try with. Had some stuff I wanted to clear out from my list

It should work though considering I went back and reversed the changes that would have caused crashes

[drifting glade]

i got the new weapons to spawn, but i dont know how the fuck i did it

[fair canopy]

other than debug theres no way to spawn them

[simple scaffold]

Post me some logs when you get a crash. I thought I made redux immune to crashes from other addons mucking with stuff.

[drifting glade]

even with the npc loadout?

this was testing a modpack that im working on. The modpack used vanilla weapons before. I was testing the kiparis_s and its variants and it seems that it resists magredux

[simple scaffold]

Turn on debug prints in redux MCM please

[drifting glade]

okidoki

[drifting glade]

i saw a npc with the kiparis_s. i belivied is new or not?

[fair canopy]

do you have new bas loaded later in the order?

cause that shouldnt be dropping on anything if you load it where old bas was

[drifting glade]

ah, of course. I loaded it semilast (?

Dots and reticles extravaganza for BaS got updated

[random fulcrum]

some kiparis variants were replaced by bas

same goes for the skorpion

[worthy mortar]

You know, I take it back.

But only because it turns out my PC is from NASA after turning up framelimiter to 144 FPS.

Funnily enough, framelimit at 144FPS with NVIDIA Panel VSync works well here.

Even funnier still, with limiter off my game loads faster

[random fulcrum]

that's because pips would be cutting you down to 72fps

[fluid idol]

Shouldn't the PIP just update at half the framerate, not actually bring your game to half the framerate?

[random fulcrum]

i'm guessing xray limitations

[fluid idol]

OGSR has them, drops my framerate by 30~ but not full half You can change how many frames the scope updates up to like 1 for every 5fps

[random fulcrum]

yeah but the cut can't go into zero

that's the thing

you can't have full framerate pips in ogser

[serene valley]

Absolutely love the new SR-25 sounds. But I am using the SCAR. Does anyone know where I can swap the sounds? Theres a lot of sound changes in the modlist and I am having trouble finding the right config(s) to change over. Thanks

[drifting glade]

i dislike desolation for the pip scopes lol

[fair canopy]

theyre working on that. the did an update a few days ago and the pip fps is a lot better now

[vital marten]

does anyone know of a mod that checks stalker pop like when youre starting the game? want to monitor zcp modified stalker pop to see if it gets out of control with it at 1. also testing warfare, been good so far. just a little lower frames in rostok so far but im only 2 days into my save

[drifting glade]

yeah, but the recoil system is still bad. reminds me of arma 1 or operation flashpoint

[fair canopy]

Check #🖇old-mods-posting

[vital marten]

yea i scrolled through most of it last night, testing the lootbox mod you added btw. havent seen anything in there for this tho

[fair canopy]

i forget who but im pretty sure someone made a script to check stalkers in the zone

[vital marten]

hmm, ill comb over it later then. theres quite a lot in there lol.

[fair canopy]

@undone lily i believe I have a save saving patch

[regal bolt]

gonna post this here since no one responding in stalker server

version is 1.5.2

[drifting glade]

log?

[drifting glade]

but in support o.o

in system.ltx search stalker_outfit or something of that kind

[regal bolt]

i verified instal and this is what it says

[drifting glade]

use this: https://www.mythicsoft.com/agentransack/ It helps a lot searching certain words hidden between the files

[fair canopy]

this is the wrong channel for support. please use #1025143518978650122

oh thats not even gamma

[still meteor]

how to install stalkersoup

[fair canopy]

Is it not possible to do mod_trade_presets?

[random fulcrum]

use trader autoinject

[fair canopy]

Could I use that to add weapons to the exclusion list?

[random fulcrum]

wdym

[fair canopy]

Like I want weapons added via mods to not be buyable by traders

[random fulcrum]

ahh you mean that

surely it should be possible

your other option is to rip a section of the code from trader destock

to clear guns from traders

[fair canopy]

the problem with trader destoock is that it wouldnt keep the trader from buying the gun in the first place

i tried doing mod_trade_preset_X but nothing changed

also tried mod system, no good either

is it possible to add an included list via dltx?

[random fulcrum]

ahhhh yeah now i get it

thought the idea was just to exclude from selling to the player

did you check restock?

[lunar nimbus]

whats preset_X

[random fulcrum]

the eXtreme preset

[fair canopy]

[lunar nimbus]

ok

[random fulcrum]

i can't even see xcvb's color tag

[fair canopy]

@azure basin you mind trying my patch and seeing if it works?

[azure basin]

I can in the morning if that's okay. I'm actually off my pc as j have a migraine XD

[fair canopy]

[woven mountain]

Anyone here need help coding? Bored out of my goddamn mind

[still meteor]

[steady apex]

It is possible. The easiest way is to edit it normally and use dltxify by right click tool

[fair canopy]

oh let me try that

[fair canopy]

Omfg that did it thank you based god

[drifting glade]

im part of the (un)official fans club of demonized

[fathom wagon]

Does anyone know where I need to look to make new artefacts from other mods work with the Artefact Melter (i.e. "repairing" artefacts)?

Or what I need to do to make those artefacts compatible with it?

[lunar nimbus]

yes i need to prevent puzzle game from having impossible combinations

[undone lily]

Me too

I think the forum structure for support kinds of wreck your brain

Did 10h of support yesterday and had a migraine the whole night + this morning

[fluid idol]

[native shoal]

Does anyone know what determent the "detach scope" prompt on a weapon poping up? I'd like to make the "wpn_fal_aus" and it kits reversible so when you get a better kit you can remove the installed kit and apply the better one.

The problem is that the "detach scope" prompt does not appear and I can not see any difference to other kits. For example the "mark8_rmr" kit which adds scopes and canted sights to multiple weapon is detachable via "detach scope".

[mild pulsar]

@fair canopy sorry about that😅 anyways I was wondering because I tested them in my game and everything looked great! All the animations worked just fine. At least on the patch just before the most recent one you uploaded.

[fair canopy]

on top of gamma?

[fair canopy]

can you send me a screenshot of how you have your BAS set up in your load order?

[mild pulsar]

Yea sure give me a moment

Your patch is at the very bottom and the new BaS is where the old one was.

not sure if it matters or not but I didn't update with the gamma installer, I downloaded BaS's new update straight from Moddb.

[fair canopy]

Did you apply the new exes?

[mild pulsar]

Are you taking about in the mo2 launcher? Like set the pathing to the ones in the BaS archive?

[fair canopy]

No I'm talking about the exe files that came with bas

Well I guess yeah, are you launching it with the bas exes?

[mild pulsar]

No I have not set up the new exe's

[fair canopy]

And you can aim and fire each gun without any weird animation issues?

[mild pulsar]

One sec

I’m trying to record for ya. But yeah pretty much, only wonky thing is firing ads doesn’t work too well and especially if firing ads while point shooting with the laser sight. It does this weird shift with the arms like this

Still accurate tho

[fair canopy]

Yeah that's what I mean by the weird animation

That requires an engine edit to work correctly

[mild pulsar]

ohhhhh ok

I thought it was normal because to me it just looked like the gun had a ton of recoil when shooting so I just thought it was that.

[random fulcrum]

you can drag other kits into the austrian just fine

the new kit will replace the one you had applied

[native shoal]

that I actually can not say if it has worked for me, but would make sense since these kits are not declared as a scopes. Since the kit versions are not declared as scopes you can not remove them but rather replace them. Anyway I changed them so they are scopes thus removable and replaceable like the other kits work.

[random fulcrum]

weird

[native shoal]

I made nearly all kits removable, it bothered me that I could not remove an installed kit if the actor has the skill to apply it. On top of that there are some expensive weapons and kits and if I get a better kit for the same weapon It is stupid that I have to get the base weapon again first.

[fathom dagger]

I really like the idea of only using the Anomaly Maps you find on stalkers to navigate the Zone, along with activating Inaccessible Zone. How feasible is it to make stalker work without a pda? Or maybe remove the map feature from the pda? Perhaps adding more functions to the Anomaly Maps? Navigating by map would be fantastic

[random fulcrum]

disabling the map menu should be easy since the pda is fully scripted and not hardcoded

[fathom dagger]

Then you would have to shift the quest functions elsewhere yes?

Or could you just disable the map and keep the quest menu how it is

[random fulcrum]

i guess both?

[fathom dagger]

hmm. Giving the quest functions its own tab would be neat!

ZCP does have a "broken PDAS" option

I don't know exactly what that means

[random fulcrum]

enable it

[fathom dagger]

Does kinda what I want

[worthy mortar]

Wonder if these can be fixed..

[twin garnet]

Not sure if this is the right spot to ask this but when on the step of download to the preferred Moddb download mirror does the number in front of "EU" and "NA" matter?

[fathom wagon]

How did you go about doing that? Want to try a crack at doing it myself.

[jovial sorrel]

I'd like to take a crack at making it so that standing around the campfire makes you sleepy. I've been coding for decades so just need some pointers in the right direction.

[random fulcrum]

check code for the moon in perk based artefacts

also code for the signet since it heals you by standing near a campfire

[jovial sorrel]

@random fulcrum Is it all just Lua basically?

[random fulcrum]

yeah it's lua

really easy stuff

knew literally nothing about lua before modding stalker

which i started doing like in june

[jovial sorrel]

Is it packed or anything like that, or are there just a bunch of lua files sitting in the game folder if I go look

[random fulcrum]

check respective folders in mo2

they're loose .script files

gamedata\scripts\

[jovial sorrel]

OK so mods are loose script files, but the actual game's code is not, right?

[random fulcrum]

most of it is readily exposed

go into anomaly's folder

anomaly\tools\

and run the unpacker

it will unpack config files and scripts from the game

[jovial sorrel]

full or no

and will the game still continue to work after

[random fulcrum]

full unpacks the whole game

yeah it works

it unpacks inside the tools folder

[jovial sorrel]

does the game use the unpacked files

[random fulcrum]

no

[jovial sorrel]

makes sense

can you repack them?

[random fulcrum]

why would you need to

[jovial sorrel]

i'm just thinking outloud

[random fulcrum]

slap them into a separate mod

[jovial sorrel]

like unpack them, fuck with them, repack them

yeah i hear ya

[random fulcrum]

and use the same structure

i.e. you mod ui_inventory.script

[jovial sorrel]

so do mods overwrite gamefiles, or are they new/novel lua files that get run, and the idea is you write lua code that like manually updates stats on runtime data etc?

[random fulcrum]

then place it into the gamma\mods\your_mod_name\gamedata\scripts

most mods don't overwrite anything ingame

[jovial sorrel]

they attach event handlers and stuff

[random fulcrum]

yeah

[jovial sorrel]

i saw "make thermal anomlaies more fair" and it looped over all the objects in the game checking for the heat anomalies and updating some stats on them

[random fulcrum]

just keep in tabs axr_main, _g and lua_help

if you want to get the gist of what can be done in xray

[jovial sorrel]

aight

[random fulcrum]

be warned that xray is a trial by fire, if the engine doesn't like you it will banish you to the dark realm

[jovial sorrel]

Just checking temperature before I throw a bunch of time into this, I've modded before and like I said coded a long time; despite the whole "learning a new modding toolchain/api", this should be a relatively straightforward mod in your estimation?

hehe

[random fulcrum]

it's easy

i learnt real fast

[jovial sorrel]

k thanks for the help

[random fulcrum]

but could be because i have some programming background and a bunch of modding background

been modding doom since i was a kid

[jovial sorrel]

same, though, not doom

also nice

what does the "non-all" unpacker unpack

scripts only I'm guessing?

I guess I can just try it and find out lol

[random fulcrum]

yeah the non-all unpacks item configs, language strings

scripts

and nothing else

just about all you need to get modding

unpack all does just that

unpacks the whole game

textures, maps, models

sounds

everythin

[jovial sorrel]

yeah i'm not interested in that stuff

oh god lua..

[lunar nimbus]

i agree, tnx god for lua

[jovial sorrel]

What's npc smart

[jovial sorrel]

OK I found,

local nearby_camp = bind_campfire.get_nearby_campfire(1.5, true)
self.is_campfire = self.cooking_campfire and nearby_camp and nearby_camp:is_on()

which seems helpful

So I probably need to figure out how I can create some kind of timer, which can check if you're near a campfire and if you are, increment your sleepiness.

@random fulcrum any advice?

Probably a RegisterScriptCallback, but maybe not

[regal bolt]

I'd suggest taking a good look at the cozy campfire mod, AKA 115- Campfire slowly regens life - arti
not sure what the function for tiredness increasing is, might need to look into the medicine effects

or possibly whatever usual effect slowly increases the player's tiredness naturally, but I have no idea where that would be found

[jovial sorrel]

Interesting looks like I can register a callback with actor_on_update and get the global time and do a sort of incrementing thing that way

But yeah I'll look at that mod, thank you for the direction

Aha, that mod indeed does actor_on_update, ok cool

[woven mountain]

This should work. Let me know if it doesn't and will work on it more

Any idea what actor.change_power does?

It's an engine method

How do I call actor_on_sleep from actor_status_sleep.script ?

Are script functions local to the module?

Oh, I see. That is an automatically called callback that module is using to be called when the actor sleeps. I see.

[random fulcrum]

power is stamina

[jovial sorrel]

i got it to work!

@random fulcrum Is there a way to make it so that my mod has settings that can be configured in-game?

[random fulcrum]

study mods with mcm integration

zcp has a robust mcm feature

dynamic anomalies overhaul too

[jovial sorrel]

any with a trivial mcm feature?

lol

[random fulcrum]

dao

dao is simple

and has a nifty preset reading function too

that's not included by default in the mcm api

[jovial sorrel]

btw how do you text search for mods in MO

[random fulcrum]

there's a filter bar

kinda center-bottom

[jovial sorrel]

ah

not sure how i missed that, i'm sure i scanned that area of the ui lol

what does dao stand for

[random fulcrum]

dynamic anomalies overhaul

[jovial sorrel]

oh sorry

[random fulcrum]

it's a very complex mod with a very simple mcm structure

oh and also, if i may shill myself

[jovial sorrel]

please

[random fulcrum]

check #🖇old-mods-posting message this out

it has a mcm implementation too

and separated everything in different script modules

[jovial sorrel]

does "mcm" have a site/docs?

[random fulcrum]

afaik no

[jovial sorrel]

fair enough

[random fulcrum]

but once you understand the basics it will work itself out

[jovial sorrel]

so it's basically a datastructure of stuff like this:

        {id = "anomaly_zone_spawn_chance", type = "track", val = 2, min = 0, max = 1, step = 0.1, def = presets[1].anomaly_zone_spawn_chance or 1},

[wanton knot]

Hey guys, is there a way to disable the cycling of the hud when you press H? I wanted to make a simple toggle

[jovial sorrel]

@random fulcrum OK do I have this right: you define a file in you mod that ends with _mcm, and in that file you define on_mcm_load where you return a data structure describing your UI?

i'll just try it lol

[jovial sorrel]

@random fulcrum

How do I get Anomaly to pick up my translation files so my MCM menus have proper text

I am looking at other mods, but I don't see them doing anything explicit in particular that mentions their own translation files 🤔

[random fulcrum]

mcm reads automatically from xml files

you just need the right naming convention

[jovial sorrel]

I'm copying what the others are doing arnt I?

I'm stumped heh

[random fulcrum]

i mean, it was always a good method to start learning?

[jovial sorrel]

hah

it's because configs/ was a sibling to gamedata/ instead of a child

classic

[jovial sorrel]

@random fulcrum does get_game_time increment in milliseconds?

Also, how can I emit text to the in-game chat log?

[jovial sorrel]

Should printf be logging to the main anomaly log?

ah ok it is

ow, the log doesn't flush until you quit?

Is there a reason why returning early from a callback would cause that callback to not be called anymore?

[random fulcrum]

no idea

[random fulcrum]

via the news_manager

check that script out

it's a vanilla script

[jovial sorrel]

yeah figured that part out

i have a problem that my callback only ever gets called once

not sure what i'm doing wrong

[jovial sorrel]

function actor_on_update()

    if not (db.actor) then 
        return
    end

    printf("-------- cozy start -----------")

    local current_time = game.get_game_time()

    if next_update == nil then
        printf("-------- cozy nil handler -----------")
        next_update = current_time + 1
    else
        printf("-------- cozy else handler -----------")
    end
end

It logs "start", "nil", "start", "else', "start", "else", etc

This only gets called once: (!?!?!?!)

function actor_on_update()

    if not (db.actor) then 
        return
    end

    printf("-------- cozy start -----------")

    local current_time = game.get_game_time()

    if next_update == nil then
        printf("-------- cozy nil handler -----------")
        next_update = current_time + 1
    else
        printf("-------- cozy else handler -----------")

                -- this was added
        if next_update <= current_time then
            printf("-------- cozy loop -----------")
        end
    end
end

All that gets printed is: "start", "nil"

That's it. Why would adding the inner if-statement break the callback completely?

Aha, it's because get_game_time returns an object not a number. I was looking for time_global

[random fulcrum]

dude xray might as well be a whole lifestyle of its own

if xray doesn't like your script, no matter how fucking tidy it is

xray will banish it to the shadow realm

and odds are you too

[simple scaffold]

MCM logs flush more often. Instructions in the MCM log script

[simple scaffold]

Read the MCM documentation.

The translation string ids are constructed from the settings path.

[jovial sorrel]

I did and got it working, thank you.

I had the config/ directory next to gamedata/ instead of inside of it

[native shoal]

The only thing you have to do is to change the "parten_section" of the kitted weapon to the base weapon, the ones which can not be reverted have their parent_section set to themself.

After that you have to check if the kitted weapon got its part defined in the "parts.ltx" because if not the GAMMA will crash because of the new "parts_match_item.script".

[lunar nimbus]

i dont understand xd

are u sure its for something 2d?

[woven mountain]

yeah, it's a complicated problem

[fair canopy]

It shouldn't need a parts list defined though? It's basically just acting as a scope with a model change

[native shoal]

I only can say that it needs it defined otherwise GAMMA crashes with the script enabled, if disabled the game does not crash but the weapon does not have parts

You are right, and I did not think about it that way, but that is the experience I made

[fair canopy]

I'm gonna test it. So far I haven't seen any weapons crash with the scope on them

It may be for weapons that change parts though

[fair canopy]

Try doing it again with the weapons you know crash, then cross reference the parts of the base gun to the new gun to see if there's a part difference

[signal barn]

Is there a way to convert weapons from PiP to good ol' fashioned 2d scopes?

[tight jasper]

@fair canopy will you update Bas SMOL AK fix for new version of bas? Right now it creates duplicates of ak 105 series of weapon

[fair canopy]

#🖇old-mods-posting message use this patch

however the ak105 animations have changed. im trying to figure that out

[tight jasper]

I'm using that already just the animations that bothering me but thanks anyway

[fair canopy]

if youre using the patch there shouldnt be any duplicates

[tight jasper]

I guess they come from Bas SMOL AK fix that I'm trying to get to work

[fair canopy]

Are you loading my bas patch dead last on your list?

[tight jasper]

no

[fair canopy]

That's your problem

Gotta load it at the end so ir overwrites everything

[tight jasper]

I know I'm just trying everything to get rid of that animations

[fair canopy]

You're basically hitting the problem with a hammer

You'll have to deal with the animation while I find a workaround. The bas patch was more important overall than making sure those 3 aks have changed animations

[tight jasper]

I don't argue with that I'm just trying to find solution to this, didn't wont to bother you I thought it will be simpler to do

[fair canopy]

unfortunately it seems it wont be that easy. though that brought up another thing i have to look into which is actually better

cause any aks with those animations that were carried over may also be messed up

I think I know the problem. I'm checking it out now

[brisk dew]

Can anyone tell, for changing wpn damage and ammo stats to sort of realistic i need add my own mod or i can change values in existent ones?

[fair canopy]

I figured it out. Sorry if it seemed like I snapped at you. It didn't matter how you set up the files because I had overwritten the ak 105 modules via dltx

I spent an hour trying to figure it out and then realized what I did

[tight jasper]

It's fine no harm done glad you figured it out

[vague minnow]

use arti's ballistics

better than groks

you can customize it

[fair canopy]

Except you can't just drop it into gamma without breaking something

[vague minnow]

that's just coping from the modpack

cause it was arranged to only work with grok's mod

[fair canopy]

I would think if he arranged the mod pack then yeah, he'd integrate his own ballistics mod into it. He isn't just smashing mods together like most mod packs usually do

Kind of disrespectful to come into another mod pack discord and call it "coping" when you can't easily swap out a certain aspect of said mod

[brisk dew]

Thanks, man! It works with GAMMA version of BaS?

[vague minnow]

it should

it worked with efp

and that has its own version of bas

[brave prism]

gamma includes groks ballistics overhaul

[fair canopy]

Good luck with that

[brave prism]

artis ballistics wont work without proper patching and disabling addons and patches

[brave prism]

EFP and gamma arent the same thing

[vague minnow]

modpack, same thing

different name

[brave prism]

the included addons are not

[fair canopy]

[brave prism]

the way the modpack is built is nothing like the other

[vague minnow]

they're both modpacks

still

[brave prism]

ok

[fair canopy]

If you don't want to mess up your gamma install, don't use arti ballistics and learn gamma's ballistics.

[brisk dew]

I just need the weapon damage parameters adequate to reality.
The damage of the shortened AKS-74u cannot be greater than that of the 16.5-inch M4A1 with the same cartridge weighing about 3.5 grams with approximately the same weight of gunpowder.
For some reason, the Rem 700 is "more powerful" than the L96A1.
The 5.7 cartridge deals more than 9x19 damage. This is nonsense.

It's easier for me to fix it myself if there are no adequate mods, but so as not to break anything. Tell me, after the installation is complete, in which folder to change the parameters of weapons and ammunition?

[fair canopy]

Look for the ammo ltx. All the values are there

[fluid idol]

It's a video game

[fair canopy]

@undone lily would demonized's engine updates work as a temp patch for gamma or are there more edits that need to be made to the engine?

[undone lily]

It should work

[undone lily]

for damage, you need to take into consideration the gun damage displayed

Check bullets muzzle velocity and energy for the 5.7 and 9x19 ammo before saying this

i.e. do your homework

9x19

5.7

5.7 energy > 9x19mm energy

more energy and more velocity = more damage for the same head type

[undone lily]

the R700 is an error and will be fixed

[undone lily]

damage isn't affected by barrel length, because IRL it has very little change anyways to that regard

5.45 deals more damage, 5.56 has more penetration and less ammo drop. 5.45 shines with HP ammo, 5.56 shines with AP ammo. They are very similar in terms of TTK when it comes to FMJ rounds, don't get fooled by the numbers strictly

[azure basin]

Apologies, my internet was down all day yesterday. Is the patch in #🖇old-mods-posting ?

[fair canopy]

No worries. Yeah it's there

[brisk dew]

5.45 deals more damage, 5.56 has more penetration
because of....what reason?
I glad you answer but i dont wanna shitposting.
summary: 545 & 556 are the same (in average, the 556 has a little more energy due to the larger volume of the case, but depends on the bullet/gunpowder/crimping/etc)

You compare the energy of 5.7 and 9x19, not taking into account that a small fast bullet makes a small hole in soft bodies, spending most of the energy on penetration hard stuff.
5.7 "spends" energy on penetration, 9x19 - on "damage". Roughly speaking. BUT it depends on many factors. For example, HP bullets in 9x19 simply dissipate energy in the body by a larger section of the projectile than 5.7. That is, HP in 9x19 cannot cause less "damage" than HP in 5.7

Different manufacturers of ammunition - different results.

[lunar nimbus]

does it matter how much dmg it deals in gboobs? isnt it either pierced or not (i.e. 0 dmg or > 0), rest doesnt look very significant if u kill someone with 5 bullets or say 7

[mild pulsar]

bruh if it bothers you that much just make all guns kill in 3 or 4 hits on armored targets and 1 hit on non armored targets. Then your ttk will be more realistic.

[brisk dew]

For you - dunno. For my gaming exp - a lot. Mod is great and complex, still casual it firearm perspective

[brisk dew]

That what i want to do, yes

[fluid idol]

Yeah, it's balanced around gameplay, not realism.

Different uses for different rounds

[lunar nimbus]

thats vanilla, just remove gboobs xd

[brisk dew]

Do you think without that will be more adequate to RL?

[fair canopy]

How many shots can a pseudogiant take in real life?

[undone lily]

This is taken into account by the ammo type. 9x19 HP does way more damage than 5.7

[brisk dew]

I dunno, I can only compare how much energy a particular type of bullet leaves in a living body

[undone lily]

Not really, you need to use the proper rounds against the proper ennemies

[still meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/shot-you-shot-fired-gun-man-down-gif-16768623

[undone lily]

5.7 does shit damage against mutants

9x19 HP doesn't

It's just that you can't relay all information through the UI

That's why you need to read the bullets description

[fair canopy]

BIRD patch for gamma in #🖇old-mods-posting did a pretty good job of adding a fairly accurate description of bullet damage

Granted that's given in relative terms, not numbers

I need a mod that lets me disable Ironman mid run

I already failed Invictus and I like the run too much.

But does it disable it permanently? 🤔

[undone lily]

I got you covered

[fair canopy]

It doesn't exactly disable Ironman but it gives you a prompt when you die on your last life if you want to continue or not

[worthy mortar]

If I set life_feature to false it'll stop life granter from popping up right?

[undone lily]

Modify the script, load it in MO2, load your save, save, quit, disable addon

[lunar nimbus]

ammo in vanilla doesnt matter as much as in gboobs, its mostly damage of ammo and gun, damage of ammo there is always 1, damage of guns is just... well PM for example have 0.48, AK has 0.55 (or somewhere around that)

[undone lily]

Of GAMMA ?

You can't anymore

[worthy mortar]

[drifting glade]

pardon my ignorance but, what's the difference between gboobs and the mod anomaly ballistics? I mean, in terms of gameplay and penetration

[undone lily]

anomaly ballistics is arti's stuff ?

[fair canopy]

Yeah

[undone lily]

Well it revolves around lots of different rounds to do different stuff

[fair canopy]

There's a lot of things different. Biggest thing is the elemental rounds

[worthy mortar]

How did I even miss RC1 I look into this server practically every day

[undone lily]

gboobs is more like "use HP against mutants and AP for stalkers or FMJ if you can't afford stuff"

The bigger the caliber, the bigger the damage and the AP

but the bigger the recoil

Sorry if this is asked too much, but what makes adding a co-op function so hard for this game? Just like a private LAN or something to play with my roommate

[worthy mortar]

The tl;dr
No working multiplayer code exists.
The long version
Since no working multiplayer code exists adding co-op would require people to make multiplayer code from scratch and make all functions work with the game.

And from personal experience, the singleplayer code is already fucking macaroni.

I report back btw
Got Demonized exe's
Installed latest bas
Got the save saver patch from #🖇old-mods-posting
It's working.

[jovial sorrel]

I'd be lying if I didn't fantasize a little about a long term project to refactor all the lua in the base game.

[worthy mortar]

I'll be honest, I have no clue how the coding works with the engine. It's black magic for me.
But I won't lie, I also sometimes thought what could be if I were to rewrite the entire engine to be a lot more optimized.

One of the steps to optimization would be to yeet DX8, 9 and 10

[fair canopy]

[jovial sorrel]

Well the native part of the engine source isn't available right? Just the lua scripts.

[worthy mortar]

I also have 100000 something lives thanks to Grok's ironman mod

I'm pretty sure the entire anomaly engine source code is available?

[jovial sorrel]

what

[worthy mortar]

https://bitbucket.org/anomalymod/xray-monolith/

[jovial sorrel]

Huh.

[worthy mortar]

This is what the community has been using for a while to create all the crazy stuff, like puddles, shader scopes, etc

Demonized has a github where the merge of all engine edits are posted as well

[jovial sorrel]

Well... yeah that's pretty far out of scope for what I was thinking. I think I'd be satisfied just refactoring the lua so we have a nice clean modding experience in the long term.

But that's dope.

Super dope.

I wonder if when Grok says they're removing the netcode, if he means just from the lua, or if he means at the engine level.

[worthy mortar]

Probably engine level

Anyway if you decide to start working with it, good luck and have fun. My only misadventures with the engine was trying to change how headbob looks and that didn't work out at all

There exist two recordings of my attempts.

[jovial sorrel]

I am so tired of relearning C++ lol

@worthy mortar interesting so are the anomaly 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 builds that GAMMA has us download actually builds of the community engine fork?

[worthy mortar]

Anomaly 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 are the base Monolith engine the anomaly devs worked on.
After the full release of 1.5.1 they made the code public.

[jovial sorrel]

Right but do those builds (either) contain the community engine changes (like how the weapon pulls when you're close to a wall, or the scope shaders, etc) ?

[worthy mortar]

No. The base game files for 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 don't contain any of this.
Grok build his own version for GAMMA which contains all necessary changes and overwrites the vanilla exes.

Also the cool splash screen which I now don't have

[jovial sorrel]

Ahhh, so the community builds actually do get used/installed, just as a matter of the GAMMA install process.

[worthy mortar]

Yep. The code on bitbucket is essentially vanilla Anomaly 1.5.2 source code.
So if you attempt to work on anything you'll probably need this https://github.com/themrdemonized/STALKER-Anomaly-modded-exes

Don't know how to apply the diffs to the source code tho

I haven't touched C++ since last year, lmao
And even then, I had no clue what I was doing

[jovial sorrel]

I wonder why they're being maintained as a series of diffs rather than git branches

That seems like self-harm

[worthy mortar]

That's a question to the mod devs I guess.
At least we get the diffs which can be put onto the actual exe

[drifting glade]

c++ is like chinese to me

[jovial sorrel]

Well they're source diffs

So you'd need to apply them to the original source, then build the exes yourself

But that'd be so much easier if the changes were just branches on git

Then you could clone the original repos, and just merge in the whatever branches you wanted and build. Without having to do it manually.

Would make it easier to maintain those changes too.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[worthy mortar]

[fluid idol]

The GAMMA engine edits have just furthered the spaghettification

@regal bolt blindside weapon reanimates some weapons from vanilla

bas adds new weapons with new animations, but doesn't replace vanilla ones

[tawdry pilot]

so i've been using a shotgun for most of my playthrough, and realized that even if the reload animation looks completed it isn't(the number under left leg health bar doesn't update), so when I heal or something directly after, i'd have to reload again. Tested on other weapons and it happened there as well. Just throwing this out here, maybe someone can make this if they want, would be a QoL thing.

[jovial sorrel]

@fair canopy any idea

[fair canopy]

Sorry, I don't have any scripting knowledge

[ember zenith]

The current method is the most ethical when it comes to using work from other modders, as the installer downloads the original work from their mod page.

[fathom wagon]

Thanks for that. Impressed that the engine allows for this pretty easily.

[fathom wagon]

Were you able to get the Mauser 98k Forester to go back to the regular Karabiner 98 Kurz? Can't seem to get it through DLTX overrides. Think there might be a way to make it by editing the w_k98_mod file itself but I don't want to go through that hassle if possible.

[fair canopy]

That's added by gamma weapons

You have to edit the dltx in that

[fathom wagon]

Got it. I am noticing though that when I install the Mauser Kit, it goes straight to the version with the suppressor capabilities. And that is even after taking away any changes I tried to make.

Hold on. Some of my changes may have persisted despite deleting them.

[fair canopy]

Because the model it uses is the silenced one

There's technically two different mauser kits because of the way the silencer and attachment works

[fathom wagon]

Yeah I know that. I see the two Forester versions (one that is just the upgraded K98/Forester and the other being the Forester with the suppressor capability). But when I install the base kit to the base Mauser, it directly goes to the 2nd version and skips the first. Is that supposed to happen?

Could be a side effect of a mod I installed but I am pretty sure I don't have anything that messes with kits like that

Supressor adapter has the base Mauser in its parts section but the standard Forester does not.

[fair canopy]

its because thats how it upgrades in gamma weapons settings

[fathom wagon]

So is the supressor upgrade there in case you get the base Forester?

[fair canopy]

you should be able to buy it at high enough nato levels

also how well does anomlay rpg work?

[fathom wagon]

Pretty buggy. The stuff works but it seems to have some coding issues with (1) how it categorizes weapons (had to fix that myself) and (2) it seems to have to update pretty frequently. For instance, you gain some carry weight when you level up. However, the game is having a bit of a fit cuz it seems to not always remember the new carry weight. So you have times where it will say "you are too overloaded to move" when you technically should have way more carry weight than what would overload you.

Also the way it tried to read settings was not good.

It used something along the lines of "setting1 = get_setting("setting1") or true", which would mean that setting was always true lol

I had to fix that too.

I am also modifying/balancing what I can when I notice something is super busted. Like I noted earlier that the "more efficient devices" was coded badly to where it would recharge all your equipped devices in like 3 seconds but also do it when you had no batteries in the device. Essentially you could create infinite batteries if you were patient enough lol

Also shotguns are straight busted cuz it seems to be giving you the damage bonus and adding it to EACH PELLET (aka shotgun has damage of 200, adding a bonus of 10% should be 220; damage ends up being 360 w/ 8 pellets since it adds the bonus to each pellet instead of the overall damage).

I could be wrong but it does seem to make shotguns really really strong.

[fluid idol]

Buckshot is just about completely ineffective against armor

[fair canopy]

Ah I was looking at it but if you're taking the time to fix it I'd be interested in trying it when you've got it balanced. How does it play with skill system?

[fluid idol]

oh, I can't read, never mind.

[fathom wagon]

The bonus damage Anomaly RPG gives seems to bypass that restriction since it seems to just add on top of whatever the damage ends up being. So if your buckshot on an armored target does 10, it still adds the base damage bonus it seems. I'd have to take another look at how it calculates and applies the damage bonus but I am fairly sure that is how it is working.

[fathom wagon]

I'd say it works fairly well with the skill system. Granted, I am also using the Skill Expansion as well so there is some overlap for sure.

So far I have balanced some of the Armor skill tree since its values were super busted. You could fully spec into it and basically be a walking mirror and take little to no damage with nearly every other shot being deflected and killing whoever shot you lol

[lunar nimbus]

shotguns are fixed in gboobs

unless new boomsticks broke it again

[fathom wagon]

Like I said, I also fixed how it categorized weapons as well. It was using the "class" variable of a weapon instead of using the "kind" variable. Which meant some SMGs and some mag-fed shotguns were being counted as Rifles.

[fathom wagon]

Haven't upgraded to new BaS yet so it is just RPG mucking things up lol

[lunar nimbus]

whats rpg

[fathom wagon]

Anomaly RPG: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/anomaly-rpg-1-3

[lunar nimbus]

ah this absolutely unbalanced mess.... yeah no wonder why u having problems with this

[fathom wagon]

Super unbalanced but the foundation is solid. Really needs fine tweaking to be fun but not outright making you broken.

Been tweaking as I have been upgrading, And yup it is super unbalanced lol

[lunar nimbus]

resists up to 99.9% .....
damage up to 500% ....
sounds fun

[fathom wagon]

Yeah I upgraded the Armor tree and was literally unkillable. I changed that immediately. Was funny but was not fun at all

[lunar nimbus]

skill system + artefact perks already handles all of it pretty well, not sure why u need another addition similar to those

[fathom wagon]

When I mod games, I like trying a lot of stuff and seeing what sticks.

Curiosity gets the better of me most of the time lol

One sad problem I am having though is that with enough resistance from artefacts (i.e. good armor + upgrades + Volat Emerald) doesn't allow the Sandstone artefact to take effect.

Doesn't count as valid hits. Even when the damaging field of some of the valid anomalies taking my main health, the Sandstone doesn't give me the damage type.

And that is even with the RPG mod turned off.

[fair canopy]

you havent looked at the pba script to see if it needs to do more than 0 damage?

also the pba script that is being overwritten by gamma's script is more up to date. if you delete the script in artefacts reinvention then sandstone becomes more more usable

[fathom wagon]

I saw. Was more confused that it said the fields work too (and they were taking my health away) but still nothing was happening.

Oh really? The newest version of PBA?

[fair canopy]

yeah, gamma has the newest version of pba but the script is overwritten by one that gamma has from an older version

sandstone is drag and drop now

[fathom wagon]

No longer a wearable I assume b/c of that?

[fair canopy]

it is

[fathom wagon]

Oh wait I see what you mean

[fair canopy]

i mean you can drag it onto your gun for a random effect

[fathom wagon]

The flavor text is updated but the script isn't. Just tried to drag it and nothing happened. Never noticed cuz I wanted to wear it mainly

Gonna fix that right now.

[fair canopy]

yeah artefact reinvention only touches the script. the xmls are all controlled by pba

[fathom wagon]

Cool cool. Still scratching my head how the damaging fields around valid anomalies (i.e. the acidic aura from places like the poison anomaly ponds in the Garbage) don't proc it despite seeing my health deplete. But might've been the old version of the script too so I have to check that (once I am done messing with making upgrade kits removable).

[sweet fable]

how is the new BAS exe working for you antheherois? still good so far no error?
i checked your topic msg and you mentioned aek animation but im not sure was it because of BAS itself or the exe

[fair canopy]

that's because of bas, thats not a new animation. im not using the bas exes though, im using demonized's exes

[edgy tendon]

I'm playing CS with some new shaders, do you guys know what this is caused by?

[fathom wagon]

An actor's bleeding value variable is 0 when not bleeding, correct? Only reason I ask is b/c Anomaly RPG has this as their "heal bleeding" function lol

[fathom wagon]

I finished up balancing mostly everything and fixing a few perks as well. I can share it with you when I wake up later. Also it should be patched for GAMMA's UI for the most part. If you want to read what I changed, here is a text file of how I went about it. Any help would be appreciated if you see a better way of coding this. There are some parts I didn't touch, and I really didn't change too much of how the mod/code was structured.

[fair canopy]

Sure I'd be glad to grab the file off you when you can. Unfortunately can't help much with coding itself

[steady apex]

this is caused by new shaders

[edgy tendon]

yeah how can i find the source; i don't know where to start looking

[steady apex]

nobody knows there either, its not a clear sky modding channel, sorry

[edgy tendon]

ok np, i thought they were all so similar I could ask it here, my bad.

[jovial sorrel]

Does anyone know the answer to this?

The current Campires-heal-you mod copies and overrides the Body Health Mod. It does this probably because Body Health doesn't offer a good API for managing the limb health.

This is probably not great for maintainability's sake.

I am trying to implement a new campires-heal-you-mod without duplicating the Body Health Mod but trying to understand if I can access it's variables from outside the module

Does anyone know??

[steady apex]

locals are inaccessible

[jovial sorrel]

@steady apex Any advice for interacting with mods that don't provide a public API (like body health mod) ?

[steady apex]

i'm not aware how that mod work, but i guess rewrite it to make it variables public

[jovial sorrel]

I don't mind forking it and trying to help maintain a better version of it, but not sure about social politics around here yet

@steady apex if I refactor the body-health-mod (to have a public API, etc) is there any chance it gets adopted for GAMMA to replace the old one?

or would i probably just be farting in the wind

[random fulcrum]

bhs is in dire fucking need of a complete rewrite

[steady apex]

this mod needs rewriting anyways, you can contact Grok, he wouldnt mind

[random fulcrum]

nobody knows what is going on there

[jovial sorrel]

Yeah the code is not great...

[random fulcrum]

grok just cleaned up some of the code

supposedly it was even worse before

[jovial sorrel]

I almost wonder if we need like a unified, and extensible player effects system.

It seems like a number of mods (not in gamma, just in general) replace the player_effects file making them incompatible with each other

[random fulcrum]

people don't wanna learn modularity

but the extensible, centralised effects system is a pipe dream for me

[jovial sorrel]

Well to be fair to mod authors like this

The player_effects file doesn't make it super easy to extend everything and likely in some cases the only choice was to override the whole file

[random fulcrum]

closest i've gotten to this is the thing™️

[jovial sorrel]

I'll start a git repo for a body health rewrite

[random fulcrum]

what a chad

[regal bolt]

godspeed

[random fulcrum]

from the looks of it yes

oh it's gone

[jovial sorrel]

Sorry it was a dumb question heh

[random fulcrum]

also you CAN expand upon actor_effects

there's this quirky concept of monkey patching

[jovial sorrel]

go on

[random fulcrum]

i.e. this

here i'm patching a very specific part of a public table of another script

without the need to overwrite the whole file

[jovial sorrel]

Oh yeah, if it's public

Most of the stuff in that file isn't public though

[random fulcrum]

oh yeah?

huh

[jovial sorrel]

yeah tons of the variables used by the functions are defined as module locals

many of the functions themselves are even defined as local

[random fulcrum]

fuck it's true

[jovial sorrel]

lol

[random fulcrum]

still making everything public access like demo said would work

[jovial sorrel]

Yeah but actor_effects is a game script

So I'd basically have to duplicate the whole script in a mod, and that just seems .. bad?

I wonder what would happen if you overwrote most of the game scripts to blank them out, how much functionality would be left over.

Like purely for fun and learning it would be interesting to "blank out" the current game, and experiment with a "from scratch" rebuild of the game. Adding basic features slowly, just to hack on it.

[regal bolt]

worst thing that can happen is that it won't work
best thing that can happen is that you remake the mod with less spaghetti and more modularity

[jovial sorrel]

Can anyone explain what the "binding" concept in this engine is about?

My current guess is something about associating game data names, like SM_FLESH with the code that should handle it, but that's just a guess so far.

function bind(obj)
    obj:bind_object(item_binder(obj))
end

Like what is this doing?

Is there a community documentation project anywhere?

[random fulcrum]

uhhhhh

there have been some attempts at guides

documentation as in real documentation afaik there is none

[jovial sorrel]

I could setup a Docusaurus site or something

[random fulcrum]

https://bitbucket.org/anomalymod/xray-monolith/src/master/

check out source

[jovial sorrel]

Well I was thinking like documentation around the system designs that are present in the lua scripting. Engine documentation also a good idea though.

Not sure what the temperature is though

[random fulcrum]

idlework on his way to singlehandedly save the anomaly modding scene

[jovial sorrel]

singlehandedly
pls no

lol

[random fulcrum]

i'm sure people would be down to help

[steady apex]

basically if an object has script binding, your lua code will perform on object spawn, update, save, load, etc

[jovial sorrel]

Ah OK, so the objects in this case are engine objects, and the binding process registers them for lua callbacks. That makes sense.

[steady apex]

yea, and the objects are game objects, game objects are those that are spawned on your level and inside the radius around you (called alife radius), basically coming online, as oppose to server objects which are permanent and persist throughout whole game until destroyed (or released, how its called in engine).

[jovial sorrel]

@steady apex Does the game use a local client-server model?

[steady apex]

sort of

[jovial sorrel]

I'll punt trying to understand that for now heh

[jovial sorrel]

Is there a github organization for the community or GAMMA? If so, can I get a docs repo created and get added as a collaborator?

[steady apex]

https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/ there is already a doc's repo, there is missing script section

You can contact the author to contribute

[jovial sorrel]

should I abandon the effort?

[lunar nimbus]

binding means object is added to lua class isnt it? i mean the easier explanation that u codars would understand ;p

[jovial sorrel]

https://anomaly-mods.github.io/docs/

https://github.com/anomaly-mods/docs

I'll try to use it to put down some notes as I explore the lua side of things. Anyone else can feel free to contribute.

[ornate spade]

why not just contribute to the existing modding book?

[jovial sorrel]

Seems more oriented to documenting the engine and I suppose I'd like the freedom to just organize my thoughts however.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Looks like it's mdBook, which is pretty nice. Docusaurus is pretty nice though, full mdx support.

[ornate spade]

it isn't? most of what it documents is about textures, models, and animation which is what its main author is proficient in

as well as self-contained guides for modders on DLTX, DXML, and others

[lunar nimbus]

it logically cant be oriented in engine because nobody tweaks engine except one demonized xd

i think scripting part is just empty (from what i heard)

[ornate spade]

there's a few more, but you can count them on one hand pretty much

[lunar nimbus]

i'd help a little bit with it, but i know that igi will delete whatever i add ;]

[jovial sorrel]

yeah, i made the new site on a community organization repo. i don't want to be in control and review all the changes. anyone should just be able to make changes.

[lunar nimbus]

u are unlikely to find a lot of contributors here

[jovial sorrel]

I noticed that the body health system mod seems to include some other mods like Alundaio's itm_manager mod

[fair canopy]

Out of curiosity is this born from my request? 👀

[jovial sorrel]

is what

It looks like a number of mods try to provide Alundaio's itm_manager mod

3 mods try to provide it;

• Body Health System
• Starter Items Not Broken
• Ammo Parts on Hover

Let's see if they're each customizing it

DLTX Modpack too

Indeed they have edits to the script.

Differences between each of their versions.

This can't work right?

[narrow stirrup]

How hard would it be make a mod that allows you do a little dash when you are running and press crounch key? I’m curious

Would be really cool to get in cover

[fair canopy]

you could just merge them couldnt you? though if they're all overwriting each other maybe it hasnt been as big a problem as it seems?

[jovial sorrel]

@fair canopy sure, but where does it go then?

We'd have to get those mods to stop including it, and to switch over to our fork, where such fixes are made.

[fair canopy]

my only other guess would be because they were all made at different times they have different versions of the script from different times and certain portions were no longer needed

[jovial sorrel]

they look like mostly the same version of the script but with various changes to support what they're using it for

[fair canopy]

as far as gamma goes, yeah we'd just worry about the version with our fixes

[jovial sorrel]

but multiple mods have such fixes

so only one of the fixes is going to be applied

[fair canopy]

for everyone else they'd need to merge it since theres no dltx version of scripting

[jovial sorrel]

and this is a general problem, this is just one example of this mod vendoring

like if we're ok with just taking a mod, patching in some fixes, and then vendoring it in the parent mod

surely it's okay to just fork that mod with whatever fixes and include it last

though including it last doesn't solve the case when mods are doing import time things

[fair canopy]

i mean, as long as all the fixes are merged into one script its only going to read the last loaded script wont it?

[jovial sorrel]

@fair canopy some script may try to access functions or data in the dependency on load time rather than during their first callback

say monkey patching, intitializing data etc

but just running the merged one last would probably work most of the time

[drifting glade]

I'm with my gf that studies art, I'm gonna convince her to make an GUI with me hehehehe

[jovial sorrel]

Does Anomaly use a version of Lua that supports classes? I see class {} used here and there

I guess you just do

class "class_name"

function class_name:method_name()
 ...
end

then class_name() to instantiate.

[frail sapphire]

how would I go about editing the recoil of the HK usp tactical pistol? I know it is done by editing the LTX file associated with the pistol, but idk what parameter to look for.

idk if this is the right place to ask about it

[lunar nimbus]

easy

[jovial sorrel]

8 mods duplicate the speed management mod

[jovial sorrel]

Here's a potentially silly question; how do you get the player's current health?

oh I see

actor.health

[jovial sorrel]

It's wild just how much code there is in the base mod. Really impressive stuff.

What do these script filename prefixes mean? axr, ph, se, sr, xr

[jovial sorrel]

@fair canopy oh to add limb healing to the campfire? lol yeah it is.

Still not really sure how to move forward.

In the original engine repo, https://bitbucket.org/anomalymod/xray-monolith/src/master/ where are the original lua scripts located?

[lunar nimbus]

db.actor.health ;]
axr is alundaio xray
xr is just xray
se stands for managing server objects i guess

no need to know these anyway

[fathom wagon]

Anyone know how to get a difficulty setting? I am trying to get arty_chance but not sure what to code to get it

[jovial sorrel]

I'm reading the simulation board code and I don't understand it lol

What is a "smart"?

My current guess is that it is some sort of sectioning of the map or specific areas, where actual realtime battles can happen

But sure yet

[random fulcrum]

yeah pretty much that

offline battles still go on there, but if something is outside of your online distance it will interact with the game only inside smarts

[jovial sorrel]

@random fulcrum what, in general, is the alife system about? My intuition is that it's something related to artificial life, maybe cellular automata? Or some other kind of "simplified" simulation of squads and monsters moving around the map?

[fair canopy]

@fathom halo that channel is only for posting mods outside of threads. You can use this channel to talk but yeah the load order is latest bas and bas patch, then my patch all the way at the bottom of your load order. The saiga is crashing because you need to update to lates mags since it added models

[lunar nimbus]

game_difficulties.get_eco_factor("arty_chance")

u can almost all the time find the answer if u search in all script files ;]
examples of use etc

[fathom wagon]

I looked at the get_eco_factor and thought it was mainly for the other options like money value and stuff. Guess I was mistaken.

[lunar nimbus]

some level locations, like cordon farm is smart, building across the road is smart etc xd
u should join amomale discord, u will get answers there faster

ups my mistakee

[simple scaffold]

it is the low level simulation. it handles everything that happens outside the player load radius and on other maps, it also tracks things that are in the player load radius, but they are controled by more complex behaviors then.

[simple scaffold]

ui_options.get("gameplay/economy_diff/arty_chance")

you need to look at the table in ui_options and look at the nested id fields in order to figure out the path.

[simple scaffold]

game comes with an unpacker in the toosl folder that will decompress them from the DB files

[simple scaffold]

luaJit provides the class system. it really just a fancy table used as a template to make other tables.

[simple scaffold]

merging all the changes into one script and loading it after all the other versions is how patches for script conflicts are made.

those are mostly older addons. there has been a big push to not modify base anomaly scripts this way in the last 18 months and monkey patch instead.

but monkey patching isn't a good way to make a compatibility patch, it needs to be used in making the addons. For a compablity patch like is needed here you need to go the merged script way. Merging script changes takes more skill than merging ltx or xml changes.

yea im more trying to get some custom files that completely remove a lot of unbalanced stuff. im just getting rid of all the lootbox stuff i have atm so i can remove the mod hopefully without issue. but yea ive done that too. Didnt stop a bandit from dropping a pelican case with an m82

thsts rng lol

[vital marten]

pretty funny rng if you ask me lol. I mean it can be removed i just dont wanna go through all these items. its late and its just not worth my time. just was looking to see if any enthusists for the mod made a version that didnt defeat some of the features built into gamma

[random fulcrum]

cringe

there's an edited version of i think the old, moddb iteration of lootboxes in #🖇old-mods-posting

[vital marten]

i went through all 10 pages of anything tagged lootboxs. didnt see anything. efp might have a better version but the more im looking at these files a ton of these crates have 100 percent drops for insanely valuable stuff. i guess i didnt know just how op the mod is

[random fulcrum]

bruh the pelican is a weapons only case

it's even in the description

[vital marten]

it was kinda funny getting attacked by a poltergeist that i set free from a box tho lol

was i confused? lol i know that. but there are a lot more crates i saw when digging that also spawn things, not just weapons, at a 100 percent rate.

[random fulcrum]

oh you want to shit misery all over them

considering i love the misery mod, maybe i do! its just not fitting for a long playthrough of this modlist imo, not without considerable balancing.

[random fulcrum]

#🖇old-mods-posting message

there was the toned down edit of lootboxes

still wouldn't fit what you're looking for exactly

but it's more inline with gamma

[vital marten]

i actually have that rn

it just changes the guns that spawn, and some handgun case modifications he said? I think i found the m82 spawning from his mod files and i changed it, then i started scowering and just decided to drop them both and play more vanilla

Recent research that may affect mutant 'colors' in mods:
"They found that in the 36 years since the tragic accident at Chernobyl, the Eastern tree frogs in the regions surrounding the now-abandoned nuclear reactor seem to have undergone a sort of rapid evolution that caused them to develop more melanin in order to withstand the heightened and prolonged radiation from the disaster."
https://futurism.com/chernobyl-frogs-evolution

There should be more darker-skinned mutants around.

for first person hands, there isn't any yet

There was this guy from Algeria working on first person female hands models but idk what happened to them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjSJDxBsloc&t=82s

[still meteor]

the mod? afaik still hasn't released

[mild pulsar]

Oh maybe not. Dude has been radio silent about their stalker mods as far as youtube is concerned. Don't know what happened to em. But if I recall correctly they are the original author of T.H.A.P, but yeah no news from them recently.

I'm working on brand new main menu.
If someone want to test later... Poke me 🙂

Not finished

look like that with small animation

Animation: wave cloud, rain, logo GAMMA fade in/out with lightning spike and radiation effect on screen.

that looks really good!

I made a "mod" more like edited a file with notepad to allow player to sell guns and armor at 30% value to any trader. included instructions in the zip file

[hidden marten]

But that break gamma balance economie if you can sell guns and armors.

Make the things too easy

[celest oyster]

maybe, but not in my opinion, youre selling a pistol for less than a can of beans. i had it at 10% sell value but that felt really low, like one can of beans was worth around 700 and a half worn pistol was 34 EDIT: this also makes npcs sell guns too... oops...

have not tested it too much, but most of the weapons i picked up of dead bandits are worth 100-200 at most

honestly could be an interesting part of the economy, grabbing old busted guns and fixing them up to sell for a little profit

Is there a way to keep the weather and time at a certain point? I would like a perpetually dark zone

[velvet bison]

could set fog and rain to max frequency
