[fluid idol]

Check how the murder mod does it

it should be changing which files it plays, easy enough

[fair canopy]

found something interesting

[fluid idol]

I'm thinking of adding a few new backpacks, but I'm not sure what would be useful besides "more space"
I think Mags-specific sidegrades would be nice, bags with only certain kinds of slots.

Need to see if backpacks can add other stats to the player

They're just another "armor" I think?

[random fulcrum]

nah it's more like an artefact

sure you can add more properties to it

something like a meme armored backpack would be funny and useful

[tidal elbow]

Just changed in that way, yes

And I know it should be mod making discussion, it was like that

But since people use this channel for other stuff...

[tidal elbow]

xcvb confirmed

[fluid idol]

Like an exo backpack for the high end, even more capacity than a tourist, then a magazine pack with low weight/high slots.
hell, Dead Air oxygen tank with high radiation/chemical resist but little carry weight boost

[wanton knot]

I know we have the camelback belt slot but maybe something like that would be cool if you can add other stats?

[queen yoke]

probably been mentioned a million times but some alternative layouts for the health and status bars would be great

[fathom wagon]

Wanted to try something for personal use, but may God have mercy on me so I can try getting this to work lmao

85k+ lines to sift through

Gonna be a long night

[dusty helm]

In what coding language are mods for this game usually made?

[fluid idol]

the scripting's in a form of Lua

[dusty helm]

Cool, i was thinking of trying to make a mod for an mpx and mcx

Wish i knew how to do models tho

[leaden mango]

Hi there, I'm trying to edit the amount of points you get for your loadout with Gamma, I assume it's tied to some config file, but can't, for the life of me find where it is, does anyone have any ideas of where to look?

[fathom wagon]

Probably should've asked this sooner but oh well:

Is there any way to setup "DLTXify" to use your "Virtual Folder" from your MO2 load order vs only using the base unpacked Anomaly files?

[fair canopy]

I don't think there is. What are you trying to dltx?

[lunar nimbus]

why u guys xray wizards xd

[fluid idol]

@urban egret If you pack that into a zip with the proper folder structure people can just install it through MO without modifying a GAMMA mod.

[urban egret]

alrighty, I'll do that

thanks for the heads up <3

[fluid idol]

Make the top folder gamedata and put that in a zip

[urban egret]

Alrighty, I put it all together nicely and in a convienent package for MO2

[lethal jolt]

Lmao, I'd resigned myself to solidmodeling those 7.62 50 rounders, meshing them & reimporting to blender. Guess I gotta go poking thru the new BaS models now

[fair canopy]

it's actually from a desolation mod >>

theres also an rsass m1a chassis but EFP is gonna have an RSASS m1a in it's weapons pack when it updates to 4.0

[scarlet hedge]

does anyone have a full outfit upgrade mod?

[leaden yew]

Anyone know where are the weapon stats are kept, I've searched everywhere but can only find them using the unpacker, but edititing those and placing them in Anomaly doesn't do anything, so the game is getting it's stats for weapons and such from somewhere else

[fair canopy]

theyre controlled by the gun's w_.ltx

you arent seeing a change because youre placing them in the root anomaly folder and theyre getting overwritten by gamma

[leaden yew]

Alright so where do I place them to see the changes? sorry if this is pepega I'm unfamiliar with stalker modding

[fair canopy]

find the weapon you want to modify in MO2 and then make a new mod for those ltx files. if you save it in the mod then the changes will get overwritten next time you update the game

[leaden yew]

Riiiiiiiiight ok

Thanks ❤️

[fair canopy]

mo2 has this window that lets you search for a file. just copy the folder structure to that file into a new mod folder

[leaden yew]

Thank you so much, this has been eating away at me for days

[topaz estuary]

Does anybody tried to change light duration from Hideout Furniture? I made some changes in items_placeables.ltx file but without effect in-game.

[wanton knot]

Does anyone knows what causes this problem? It's like the mesh is not catching shadows from lights. I thought it could be a mesh problem but I opened one of them in Blender and they seem fine?

[fathom wagon]

A really bad idea:

Provaks Pack just for the hell of it (and to mess around with the new guns in there). It has a damn crossbow in it when I was dtarting to go through it before cleaning up any unnecessary files out of it.

[fair canopy]

youd probably have an easier time ripping out whatever you want from provaks. ive already looked through it. it doesnt really have anything thats not already better elsewhere

the crossbow probably have its own ammo so youre gonna have to dltx the ammo for it

[fathom wagon]

Yeah, I kinda figured that one out REALLY late as I finished cleaning up the mod_system file for it. Would've been easier to pull stuff.

The pack also allows suppressors on some guns that didn't have them so I thought that was pretty neat.

[drifting glade]

one of the most effective ways that I know to tweak things in GAMMA or more complex mods is to go to the virtual folder that offers MO2 and copy the script and configs folder to a new aislated folder and compare things with beyondcompare or winmerge to have a general grasp of the original intended structure of the modpack and the changes that you need to do.

[fair canopy]

ive been meaning to extract the revolvers from TAZ. now that i know how to change animations i wanted to fix them using the new mp rex animations

[drifting glade]

nice

what program you use to fix animations? or u only edit the .ltx?

[wanton knot]

I fucking found the problem! It's the "material weight" attribute on the thm file. The problematic parts had values over 0.

[random fulcrum]

wow what

[wanton knot]

@undone lily I'm so sorry to tag you boss but this might be worth checking out. It's mostly with BAS weapons I think. I'll start editing some thms and create a separate patch for it. I'll share when I have some done. There's probably a smarter way of maybe batch editing the thms?

[random fulcrum]

elaborate further please?

what have you found?

this is huge

[wanton knot]

Yeah, this shit was driving me nuts

let me take a ss of what I edited here one sec

[fair canopy]

that means going over each individual mesh for each weapon and its scopes

[random fulcrum]

not necessarily

[wanton knot]

yeah, but since it's the thm files, maybe there's a way to just set the whole folder to 0?

[random fulcrum]

since material weight is handled in .thm files

which are shared between unscoped and scoped variants

[fair canopy]

ah. youd probably have to do it by file then

i havent touched anything texture related so i dont really know

[random fulcrum]

yeah still the thm editor is stupid easy to use

[fair canopy]

in arx toolset?

[wanton knot]

yeah

that's what I used

[fair canopy]

so that fixes the weird uneven lighting?

does it mess with anything else though?

[wanton knot]

the fal sa58 had values of 0.5 or something crazy. I'm going to fix the whole weapon

So I just tested with the hexagon silencer, it looks just like the other parts that work

sa58 my beloved!

the silencer have a different name so that's why it's not fixed. The good thing is that a lot of textures are shared between models so that makes a tiny bit easier

[undone lily]

I already fixed the most jarring issues like Toz and RPK

[undone lily]

Good catch !

[fathom wagon]

Sounds hella dope.

Also my God does Provak's Pack havs a ton of weapons (but probs a lot of overlap). What I've gone through so far when adding their parts seems like I might end up gutting some in there if there is way too much overlap.

[fair canopy]

If you're gonna fix these post them in #🖇old-mods-posting

[wanton knot]

Will do, I'm already going through the list and I'll def need people to test it out to see if that didn't explode anything.

[wanton knot]

just posted, let me know if you find anything weird, I'm not sure if it fucks something like lenses or sights. XD

[tidal elbow]

@small tartan I understand you love everything in #🖇old-mods-posting but don't post in there, the channel is only for posting mods

[red crescent]

is there a way to make sortingplus not so stuttery?

[fair canopy]

Nope, that's the nature of that mod

[fervent osprey]

Is there a way to edit the gamma economy mods so that traders only buy guns and armors, not sell them while keeping the economy mods enabled?

[random fulcrum]

nah

[tidal elbow]

Possible but "hard", "long" and tedious to do

[random fulcrum]

"hard" and "long"

[fluid idol]

There's a mod already that makes them buy guns at low prices

[gusty peak]

So I have a question, what would I need to make a custom radio station?

[sweet fable]

its pain me to see that even tho GAMMA fixed the broken M98 upgrade still didnt fix the missing silencer model
there only 2 mods on ModDB and they have very outdated
anyone know a solution for this? swapping model perhaps even tho i would need to get a new model if it actually missing from the data files

[random fulcrum]

just add a silencer to the model

[small tartan]

Shut up. I can thank ppl for their hard work if I want to. Go bother someone else.

[tidal elbow]

p!mute @small tartan 3d Shut up? How about you shut up and do as you told? That channel is FOR MODS ONLY. It's to keep the channel clean of everything that isn't a mod. It's in the title of the channel. Learn how to be respectful.

[tardy vale]

@small tartan has been muted for 3 days.

[runic yacht]

.

[supple folio]

he coulda made a thread even 😅

[tidal elbow]

Ah yeah I mixed up people

The other dude was Escobar (people and nicknames what are you gonna do)

Ah well he's gonna live with that original message I guess

[fair canopy]

Still shoulda been respectful

[tidal elbow]

Trolls gonna troll I guess
Or even if he wasn't trolling, I guess he likes to see people tilt or whatever, it's the usual
What do you gain by acting like a complete ass? I'll never understand this

[fathom wagon]

Actually isn't too hard. I made it to where traders who used to sell guns can buy guns from you. Small tweaks to the trade_presets.ltx. GAMMA's other econ files take care of making sure weapons aren't sold.

They also obey economy rates and condition parameters.

On Survivalist economy, a weapon sells for roughly 1/7th of its value at full durability.

Could do the same for armors, but personally don't see them selling armors. The armor trade-in mechanic is a good enough alternative for me.

Only reason I see them buying weapons is to get a kickback from the UN for "cleaning up the Zone" lol

[deep tinsel]

Hey guys the horror overhaul mod changes the psi storm siren but i find it kind of clownish, would deleting the sound file in the mod folder change it back to default?

[undone lily]

it's also mostly garbage stuff

Poor animations, bad models, poor sounds, bad selection of attachments, etc

[fathom wagon]

I'm just curious to see if I can get it working. I already know this might be a waste of time but I have already come too far to quit now

[undone lily]

That pack is full of bugs, inconsistency and crashes

[fathom wagon]

Oh yeah I definitely know the inconsistencies after going through the mod_system file after DLTXify'ing it

I might try to pull some weapons I like from it though or wanted to use. Ofc only if I like them (if I can get them to work ofc)

[lilac compass]

I couldn't complete even one playthrough with provak's it kept crashing on an area load eventually was such a waste of time

[fathom wagon]

I knew this was a bad idea from the start, but, like I said, too far gone at this point

It was an experiment mostly but yeah I knew it was a bad idea form the start.

[lilac compass]

I finally asked on anomaly discord about provak's and they told me it was trash and I should try efp I eventually tried gamma later and I prefer it going to try efp 4.0 but will probably go back to gamma

[fathom wagon]

My main goal with this was to see if I could get the new/non-GAMMA weapons from Provaks to work via DLTX cuz some of the guns are ones I wanted to use in Anomaly in general. From there, it comes down to gutting all the trash (which might end up being all of it tbh lol)

[lilac compass]

well the weapons could be cool if you can get them to work

[fathom wagon]

I might have to look in EFP to see what weapons they have as well and see about DLTX'ing them for personal use in my GAMMA mod load order (which is already modded to high hell lol)

Some of the weapons while going through the files (of Provak's) really do look like a lot of fat that needs to be trimmed. Lot of redundancies from the looks of it.

[lilac compass]

I like efp's systems but there are some cursed weapons in it you can fit all sorts of sights on a fal for example that's not how the original fal works in real life it has a specific scope that needed heavy modification in order to work not to mention said scope made the fal a lot heavier

[fathom wagon]

I personally love freedom like that for gun customization. That is where I can suspend some disbelief for gun realism. To me, customization/a litany of choices is a lot of fun to me. I like having options.

[lilac compass]

I think gamma does it well you need to use a kit to convert a fal this is more realistic

[fathom wagon]

Definitely is a great way to incorporate choice for sure. But, for now, I only have time to do code-based/dirty edits via DLTX until I get to try my hand and 3D modelling and animation when I get time off from college classes in a few months.

[fathom wagon]

Well, got GAMMA to load and got to try out some of the guns so far. Time to do clean up and start pruning the useless crap of Provaks

[fathom wagon]

Holy hell there is a lot of trash and unworking guns in Provaks lmao

And it gave some weapons suppressor options that didn't have any but doesn't even give them a suppressor at all. Just makes the gun sound suppressed lmao

[fair canopy]

Yeah peovaks isn't great overall

The time I went through it I literally ripped everything out except weapons config, textures, and meshes. I went down the list and deleted anything that I had seen already and elft anything unfamiliar then just opened it in blender to see what I liked

[fathom wagon]

The one that I was kinda excited about was seeing the Mosin revolver (since it is one of the revolvers that can actually make use of a suppressor). But it doesn't have that suppressor option. Pretty disappointed lol

[fair canopy]

Which one?

[fathom wagon]

It was the wpn_swm19. It had a real close resemblance to the Mosin revolver.

[undone lily]

told you

[fathom wagon]

I honestly can't believe someone would put together a modpack like that and not even check it lmao

Even going through the pistols alone has been a process lmao

Gotta say only 2 or 3 pistols are staying so far. Rest are trash quality or not working.

[undone lily]

https://tenor.com/view/skill-issue-simply-a-difference-in-skill-frog-dancing-skill-gif-21877908

[fathom wagon]

This is ADS on Provak's extra Gauss Rifle. I kinda like this view. Would be good in a more stylized FPS where the ADS with scopes still gives good peripheral vision.

Also the crossbow doesn't use a custom ammo type

It is just a "test weapon" so not surprised in the slightest

[fair canopy]

Ah it's a pip scope

[fathom wagon]

I just like the aim position. Feels like it would be a good idea in a fast-movement FPS for scoped weapons

[fluid idol]

having to move your eyes off-center would be disorienting in something fast-paced, probably.

[obtuse isle]

[fluid idol]

[paper needle]

Was there a mod for a controller support somewhere? i swear i saw something like that

[regal bolt]

that aint gonna happen in this modpack

so many different buttons for shit good luck mapping that

[paper needle]

Which only makes me more curious if there actually was one somewhere

[regal bolt]

for vanilla anomaly? probably

[undone lily]

PIP scope on a Quake 3 looking gun, awesome

[alpine shuttle]

Any content creators you would recommend for mod making in this game?

[random fulcrum]

???

[alpine shuttle]

Well I meant if there is some youtuber that covers modding for anomaly but if there isnt I guess its documentation time

[still meteor]

not really, there is the modding book that covers some things, but i gues it would be better to grab a already existing addon that's close or similar to what you want to do and see how it does it

[alpine shuttle]

ye fair thats what I thought. Was just wondering if there was anything regarding that. Thanks 😄

[humble perch]

Could there be a relatively easy way to simply shrink the size the UI is rendered too? I'm tinkering with VorpX (VR) and would mainly love to prevent the inventory, dialog and looting screens from being fullscreen. Additionally being able to move the other HUD elements closer-in would also be grand, but not sure where to start...

basically making the max HUD position/size 50% smaller would be a great dirty fix for me 🙂

[outer spindle]

does stalker anomaly / gamma have a co-op mod like skyrim or fallout has.

[random fulcrum]

assuming the channel you're in i'd guess you are planning on making one?

[still meteor]

no

[outer spindle]

no , my friend is being a little bitch and refuses to even look at stalker let alone play it non co op

[bold mural]

going to try make a modified version of the RF receiver tasks mod that gives GAMMA upgrade items instead of base game ones and has a failsafe for when the game glitches and removes the package

cos currently the game glitching like that makes the area the package spawned, or tried to spawn in, unenterable as it crashes due to a bit of code that tries to compare your position to the package's and throws up null reference exceptions

might also look into making tiered packages dependant on player rep with the faction you get the package from

to the point where at high rep it's approaching aslan lottery rewards

[random fulcrum]

that's based

now make it scale with the times you have opened packages

the more rf packages you open, the better the loot

[bold mural]

yeah that's not hard

tho

hmm

[bold mural]

well tiered packages according to faction rep would kinda work that way anyway

[floral relic]

hey, which config file do I edit to change random stalkers trade stock? I want to play without traders but to be able to trade with random npcs, so I would like to make their inventories little bit more interesting / varied

[random fulcrum]

uhhhh maybe through trader_autoinject?

[floral relic]

oh so they are driven through script? damn, that will be the death of me

[bold mural]

welp, done the easy bit in making it give gamma upgrade kits instead of vanilla

time to work on the harder stuff

[random fulcrum]

no but that library ensures maximum compatibility

[floral relic]

don't they have an ltx config like the rest of the traders? friend told me "trade_generic.ltx" could be it but it doesn't exist in gamma

[random fulcrum]

wdym doesn't exist in gamma lmfao

[floral relic]

well the file? 😄

[random fulcrum]

wow lmao

lol even

you're looking at files provided by the modlist

[bold mural]

i need to figure out where the script that controls the loot from packages is for gamma... seems like there's something overriding the base game's one...

[lethal jolt]

Even when you put your new one last in the load-order?

[bold mural]

no as in, i tried modifying the base game one because it looked like it was the thing dictating it and i couldn't find any scripts that overwrote it but it didn't change anything

[fathom wagon]

Done most of the trimming of the DLTX Provak file
85k+ lines down to just to 16k after removing either non-functional weapons/bunch of useless or redundant weapons

[wraith pine]

I'm brand new at figuring out how to mod X-ray

Are there any good tuts out there?

[fathom wagon]

Is there a way to fix the off-center red dot via changing its .ltx file or is this a modeling issue?

[random fulcrum]

modelling issue

check the lens mesh position

[fathom wagon]

well damn

Messing around with DLTXifying Provaks truly was a mistake lol

[random fulcrum]

provak's is a fucking mess

there are some nice looking guns tho

would need some rigging to better anims

[fair canopy]

yeah if youre gonna adjust that sight youre better off switching it to a bas shader

[bold mural]

man, where the fuck is the script that does these package contents

[fathom wagon]

This one is pretty nice, but man only limited it to an ACOG and suppressor. Which means it works at the bare minimum for kitting purposes lol

[lilac compass]

ugh acog not my favourite optic

[fathom wagon]

Gun is functional and somewhat viable, but definitely not a choice over other guns you might end up getting from the same tier of enemies or stashes

Mostly due to lack of support for anything else

[lilac compass]

acog is not fun to use at anything but medium range beyond that the chevron is just too small

[fathom wagon]

Yup.

Also get a load of this:

I know some shooters hold by the mag instead of the grip

But looks funny nevertheless

[lilac compass]

this is not gammas fault as this is how the acog is in real life the chevron is far too small a pso-1 is more comfortable

[fathom wagon]

Gonna have to gut the AK5 and its variants from the pack. A shame since I liked the extra camo options. But they are bland and don't work with the freezoom funciton.

[fair canopy]

A lot of the bas ak 100s are held by the mag

[fathom wagon]

I know, it just looks kinda funny in-game. That's all.

But yeah the guns aren't working with free zoom. Either nothing happens or the gun itself gets closer while ADS

[lilac compass]

personally I think being able to free zoom with collimator sights is a bit cheaty

[fair canopy]

Weird. It should work regardless

[fathom wagon]

That's what I thought so too. Might have to see if I left a file in Provaks that is messing with its guns.

Cuz all non-Provak guns work (base, GAMMA, and other modded)

[lilac compass]

I wouldn't be surprised if something is messed up in provaks

[fathom wagon]

Oh the whole thing is messed up that's a fact lmao

Just gotta see what magic is causing it to not work with free zoom

[lilac compass]

Have you checked out the lewd mods? It has an interesting sight one that can go from a 4x scope to a red dot which is how the specter sight is meant to work I heard

[fair canopy]

@lethal jolt i finally finished porting efpwp for gamma

I think provaks has some revolvers but I don't remember

[fluid idol]

[fathom wagon]

It does, but I didn't really keep any with what I have currently.

[lilac compass]

nice efpwp has some pretty cool weapons

[fair canopy]

The impact grenades they managed to get working are awesome

They also have a mutant which saves me from having to do one

[fathom wagon]

Provaks not working with Free Zoom is wack. Was actually looking forward to using the Ruger Mk.3 pistol

[lilac compass]

yeah that mp 155-ultima looks pretty cool as well has a graphical display

[still meteor]

chad efpwp enjoyer

[fathom wagon]

Wait a minute...

Isn't that first shotgun from Payday 2?

[still meteor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOYsUQGEYaI

[fathom wagon]

So that is just you playing EFP, correct?

[still meteor]

no its just my custom gamma modlist

[fathom wagon]

Oh damn. And you are using weapons from EFP, I assume?

[still meteor]

yea i was testing some to see if they work properly for me

[fathom wagon]

I figured out why weapons weren't working with free zoom. At least in the case of the Ruger, it had its scope_zoom_factor set to 95 for some ungodly reason lmao
Setting it to 0 makes free zoom work.

[fathom wagon]

I like it, I like it. How hard was it to get them working?

[bold mural]

@azure basin sorry to bother you but any chance you might know where gamma is pulling package contents from? i can't for the life of me figure it out

[azure basin]

Like the tb packages? Or like normal ones

[bold mural]

tb packages convert to normal ones in your inventory, the only difference is the "hidden loot" stuff which is handled by the script in the mod

[azure basin]

Most likely one of the gamma or grok stash overhauls then. I'm not at pc so I can't check and just going off my gut XD

[bold mural]

already had a poke round those but came up empty :\

i'll look again

[azure basin]

Hmmm send me a dm and I'll look in the morning for you

[bold mural]

will do

[fluid idol]

@random fulcrum Checked wildkin's svarog patch items_devices, it's got the broken bits of the PDA entry commented out so it shouldn't be causing them to get eaten
I'll still delete the lines entirely to see if that does anything

[fluid idol]

Oh, those are the new slot lines from 1.5.2

[long spear]

is it feasible within the game engine to make a helmet toggle/swap kinda like the scope switching mod?
reason being is i tend to roam the zone with 2 helmets; a ballistic helmet and a gas mask, and it’s a pain to pull out my bag, swap them over every few minutes

[tidal elbow]

Should be easy, it's new released stuff, you can find them in the EFP server, it's all public

[dusty helm]

will the weapons from efpwp that ppl convert be available on the mods-only-posting?

[long spear]

same; everything works except for the grenades

[fathom wagon]

A wonderful thing to hear after the nightmare I have been going through with picking apart Provaks

[tight jasper]

damn all of them even replacers?

[fathom wagon]

Slowly making progress on the things I left from Provaks being useable. But man some of these sounds are atroicous. Hoh boy...

[scarlet pendant]

I'm attempting to create a version of the "Predator" Sunrise armor suit for the Clear Skies faction and then to add it to the armor exchange list that some merchants have.

I've already edited the texture, changed the texture path in the model, and added a new section to the o_csky.ltx with a unique item name and model path. Is there an easy way to spawn it in game to test?

[fluid idol]

suggest you don't add it to the csky file, add it to a new o_ file

[scarlet pendant]

Thanks, that's an easy change. The debugger mode doesnt appear to work in Gamma. Is there another way to spawn items?

[fluid idol]

debug definitely works in GAMMA

either run the Anomaly Launcher through MO2 or do something like this

[fathom wagon]

I want to keep this for the camo but god these sights are awful

Didn't even have sight options in the pack. What a letdown.

[scarlet pendant]

Thanks. Got it working perfectly

[wanton knot]

Hey folks, I want to edit some icons, does anyone knows the font used on the texts?

[wanton knot]

very noob modding question for ya, how can I load this test scene? Do I need sdk?

[fathom wagon]

No. Just have debug mode on. Once the game is in the main menu (with no save game loaded), press F2.

[wanton knot]

Perfect, thank you! Can you reload changes you do to config files?

I'm fixing some silencer/weapon addons icons and been brute forcing

[fathom wagon]

Not too sure. Only things I have tested are changes to .script files do show up on reload. However, if you notice a script isn't firing, it means it skipped the script due to an error. From there, you want to close the game and consult the log to see what the problem may be.

Changes to weapon settings may not reload. It is a hassle for sure

[wanton knot]

cool, I'm making the changes to icons position using dltx, will see if I can reload

[fathom wagon]

Yeah see if small stuff like that might work. Worst comes to worst, at least you have a faster way into the game.

[wanton knot]

Yeah for sure! I appreciate the help!

[fathom wagon]

They straight ripped the M4A1 from MW3 in Provaks lmao

It has a tacitcool reload though...

Screw it, I'm keeping it lmao

Nostalgia won today

[wanton knot]

damn that looks cool

Are you making your own pack from it?

[fathom wagon]

Not necessarily.

There is a lot wrong with Provak's pack. I wanted to DLTXify it and edit to get a better understanding of modding in general.

At this point, I am taking what is mostly working and keeping it and patching it for GAMMA.

Currently still in the trimming phase of getting a lot of junk out and fixing inconsistencies and errors in the remaining weapons.

For instance, nearly all red dots/reflex sights that aren't baked into the guns are non-functional due to the dots' positioning on the sights.
#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

If I had the knowledge (and the time to learn how to model lol), I would look into fixing these. But, it is way too much for weapons that are mostly throwaways and "filler" in a sense.

At the very least, once I get around to toying with 3D modeling, I'll go back to the ones I kept and fix those sights if they need it, as well as add sight options they didn't have before.

[wanton knot]

You could remove attachments and use those from BAS for instance, already functional

But yeah, that would require jumping into blender

[fathom wagon]

Yeah that was the plan once I get the time to.

That probably won't happen for another month though.

Just sticking to simple code/DLTX mods and editing for now as it isn't that hard to follow with some coding background.

Nvm wrong files format lol

[wanton knot]

That's a good plan. I'm a 3d artist by trade but for now I'm mostly making small nit pick mods for myself, I want to move to cooler stuff eventually

[fathom wagon]

If you are a 3D artist by trade, I have no doubt you will move on to make some really nice stuff.

[wanton knot]

The thing is, I really want to play the game in my spare time lmao, but yeah, I want to fuck with some things in the near future. Adding new attachments to existing weapons is something I was thinking about

[fathom wagon]

Oh yeah that is the big problem that comes to modding:
Finding time to play the game for fun

I haven't played for about a week at this point due to this Provak BS I got myself into lmao

[wanton knot]

hahaha the modding trap

[fathom wagon]

Oh my God

What a horrible way to do an integrated EOTech lmao

[paper oxide]

That looks oddly horrendous, looks like bubba (bandit) did a number on it attaching some random scarp on it. Kinda fits the zone

[fathom wagon]

I got re-capture the reload. File format was wrong and my old version of VEGAS doesn't use that format lol

[wanton knot]

The scale of the model seems off doesn't it? bigger than it should

[paper oxide]

I thought it was a Gauss rifle at first glance

[fathom wagon]

It is but it is also an awkward gun to aim. So "fixing" it would be a bit weird to me.

I will say it disgusted me at first glance once I ADS'd lmao

Also (finally) that MW3 M4A1 reload

Ignore the guns on the floor

Was in the middle of testing more Provaks guns

[fluid idol]

it's so dramatic

[fathom wagon]

It is dramatically goofy and I love it for that

I am really hating a lot of the sounds Provak is using for a lot of these guns.

I am having to resort to finding a decent enough substitute in the game already and setting most of the sounds to that.

[paper oxide]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see the ejection port

[fathom wagon]

You are totally right

I mean it is from MW3 so accuracy isn't expected but I laughed when noticing that too lmao

[paper oxide]

That's fucking cursed, fuck it tag it as an experimental assault rifle version of the gauss, make it fire lasers, remove the casings, and give it to monolith troops

[fluid idol]

They should have ported BO2 guns

[fathom wagon]

But not its M1911 cuz goddamn that one is bad

[fluid idol]

I loved BO2's FAL

[fathom wagon]

Still love the BO1 M1911. The all chrome look is iconic

Oh yeah that one was fun.

[fluid idol]

full auto upgrade

[fathom wagon]

I think BaS has that one though.

[fluid idol]

Probably, the x51 guns are pretty rare

[fathom wagon]

Yup found it

Comes full-auto too

[paper oxide]

Btw kudos for you trying to trim down that 10gb mess

[fluid idol]

ah yeah. Not quite the same without wooden furniture.

[fathom wagon]

It ended up being about 20GB after throwing away outfits and items

I think after I am done checking all the weapons and what I want to keep, I go on to trimming down the redundant files. Will be much smaller for sure.

[paper oxide]

The Scar from the previous versions' a keeper

[fluid idol]

luckily we seem to be getting EFPWP stuff unofficially soon, and then the official BaS update

[fathom wagon]

I should've kept a few of the like 10 FALs that Provaks had. They all looked scaled incorrectly though. Small like toy guns.

No attachments either so kinda pointless

[paper oxide]

EFP WP? Where are you getting this news? Just heard about it a few hours ago

[fluid idol]

ATHI is porting it

[fathom wagon]

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

[paper oxide]

The one for CoP?

[fathom wagon]

This is probably the coolest gun in Provak's pack. Too bad the other sights didn't work properly. At least I could've fixed the ACOG like shown here.

[fathom wagon]

Apparently the EFP Discord has the weapon files for download. Probably how people are porting it currently

Damn video file is too big lmao

[paper oxide]

Shit I'm out of the loop with EFP, they've got their own weapon pack now?

[fathom wagon]

I guess so
#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

[paper oxide]

I'll try and dig it up in there

[fathom wagon]

Also probably the coolest gun from Provak I have seen so far. Could only get the ACOG working out of the other sight options it had.

[fluid idol]

I think the sniper HK might be in the newest BaS too, actually

[paper oxide]

That needs to replace the vanilla 416

[fluid idol]

Yeah the G28 is in

[fathom wagon]

Provak hasn't updated his mod since like late last year. This seems to be from CW it seems.

Once we get that BaS official update, I am ready to find and use the new stuff

[obtuse isle]

PROVAK

[worthy mortar]

What does the QR code link to..

[fair canopy]

Sorry but I'm not releasing it publicly for gamma

[tidal elbow]

You wish

[fair canopy]

if you pull the decent ones out i might be able to do something about that

[lilac compass]

He won't be allowed to port it because it belongs to the efp team you would need to get their permission

[tidal elbow]

You can literally load the thing in GAMMA and it will work, just disable everything related to UMP in the mod list

This obviously means that you won't find these weapons in the Zone, you'll need debug mode

[kindred pond]

Can someone point me to documentation how to create own difficulty preset? I am trying to make a game mode with specific settings for a different kind of ironman play that I would like to by able to set with a simple choice in difficulty menu at the start of game.

[tender marsh]

i have a patch for it with the loadouts i just need to disable selling to traders

[lilac compass]

You would need permission for an upload of a patch as well

[tender marsh]

yh, ill just keep it private, its not too hard to do

[fair canopy]

certain things crash the game but its easy enough to grab the scripts and throw them where they need to go

[scarlet pendant]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/604015646044323845/1031919399361327176/Capture.JPG Made a first person texture for the Predator suit that kinda sorta matches

the game has a way of making things look worse

[fair canopy]

try without the shaders

or add adaptive sharpen to the shader list

[lethal jolt]

Yeah it really fucks with the boot textures

Looks great otherwise. Definitely drop it down in #🖇old-mods-posting when you’re happy with it. I’d use the shit out of that

[scarlet pendant]

got it hooked up with the armor exchange mod

[still meteor]

[scarlet pendant]

Where is the BR class for armor defined? I have a duplicate of a vanilla armor but they have different BRs.

[fair canopy]

Check one of the rebalance mods for gamma. It may be a dltx

[humble perch]

Is anyone in here somewhat familiar with UI edits/changes?
I'm tinkering around with G.A.M.M.A. in VR, because of that i'd like to make some changes to how some parts of the UI are displayed.
I've already looked in the G.A.M.M.A. UI files to see what current modifications are made, but im not sure if i understand the workings of the xml's correctly.
To me it kind of appears the UI has been configured based on what appears to be a 1024x768 screen-resolution and for other sizes it will scale/stretch accordingly; Is that correct? (i.e. in Actor_menu i see they make a <main x="0" y="0" width="1024" height="768"> which appears to result in fullscreen/fullsize)

In essence i would like to make some edits that would basically add an offset to the outside of the UI, mainly to prevent the inventory screens and such from trying to take up the whole screen, as currently i'm applying semi-VR by basically having a huge floating display in front of my face at a static position (so i can look around freely while this is still seperated from aiming), adding in some margin/padding should allow me to see UI elements and/or screens without having to tilt my head all the way back and forth 🙂
Might it be possible to adjust the main letterbox/viewspace the UI is rendered in? (i.e. making the base canvas double-sized so the UI is rendered at half the size) or might there be any other way which wouldn't require me to manually recalculate all changes on a 1024x768 grid for each and every existing element?

[fair canopy]

For general help I would suggest asking in the anomaly discord, you might get a better answer there. Dunno anyone else here using vr

[dusty helm]

If i would want to add to a weapon scope options would i need blender or just create new ogf files. I read a bit in the stalker modding book about ogf and such and i was thinking of playing arround trying to learn some of the ways of moding this game.

[fair canopy]

You have to make a new mesh for each scope you want to add

[dusty helm]

ok i see, then i will play a bit with that and see how i go

[fathom wagon]

Appreciate it. There might not be a lot left after I'm done however

MTAR has a world model, but has no first-person model. It is called correctly in the file. Just not showing anything.

Another gun I was excited about but alas another non-functioning weapon.

[fair canopy]

That's not even an mtar on the icon

I'm pretty sure Taz has an tar and mtar

[fathom wagon]

Yeah his icons are very inconsistent

Even the suppressor placement in the UI is so bad lmao

[fair canopy]

Well we're getting the mdr I worked on soon with gamma weapons, and I found a RFB via desolation

[fathom wagon]

[fluid idol]

That was my original assumption but you never know

[still meteor]

hello efpwpfpwwpfpepffefp when

[fluid idol]

cwwp when

[fathom wagon]

Coolest thing so far. Too bad it uses PKM ammo instead of a custom ammo type (forgot I had a video playing in the background lol)

Hit type is burn though so at least he got that right

[fair canopy]

It would probably need a custom script to actually make it work but I'm not sure

Refuel from kerosene or gas tanks and give it a condition bar repressing fuel

[fathom wagon]

I was thinking of making a custom ammo type but you need to craft it from fuel sources. Would have to add crafting recipes and parts for the ammo I assume.

Also PKM parts as a placeholder for the parts_match.script for now

I know how to fix this though. Gonna change it to w_explosive to avoid needing weapon parts.

For ammo, I was also thinking of maybe including some artifacts as well as potential recipes.

[fluid idol]

Crafting recipe should be an easy part, I think you can just tag any item in the game

[fathom wagon]

These recipes look sensible enough?

[fair canopy]

That won't work

You need at least two items per recipe

You could have be two of the same item though, so like 2 of half the total material you want

[fathom wagon]

Gotcha I'll fix that real quick. Let me see if the setup is working for the ammo at least.

[fluid idol]

add some scrap metal to the recipe for the canister or something

[fathom wagon]

It is going good

Made the ammo act like shotgun shells. Gave it I think 12 pellets.

Recipes are all there too

[fair canopy]

Considering the icon, you could just rip the tank off the flamer icon to make it the ammo icon

[fathom wagon]

I'll keep that in mind. However, at least it is all working. Now to clean up any un-needed files.

I might nerf the damage on the Flamer though. What do you think?

Nvm I have to b/c of the pellet spreading out the damage lol

[fluid idol]

That flame effect is so mid-2000s, I love it

[fathom wagon]

This thing needs some adjustment in damage but it is fun

[fair canopy]

What do you use to record?

[fathom wagon]

OBS. Used to use Streamlabs or the GeForce overlay but always had issues with them after a while.

[fair canopy]

Yeah GeForce has been giving me issues

Accidentally made a 65 gig movie the other night when it didn't stop recording

How's the reload animation for it?

[fluid idol]

I usually just use windows game bar and then compress using handbrake but it's pretty inefficient lol

[fair canopy]

The pellets don't mess with the effect?

[fathom wagon]

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

Pretty clean.
Also it seems the pellets don't effect the flames either.

[fair canopy]

What kind of range does it have though? You aren't getting super far pellets?

[fathom wagon]

Just used pellets to mimic the effects of spreading flames.

Lemme check what the range is on this again

Bullet speed is at 230, Fire Distance/Range is 120.

Might cut down the range to 30 for sure

Even 30 is kinda pushing it.

The final list of guns after almost a week of weeding out the trash lmao

21 out of probably 90+ guns lmao

[fair canopy]

Most of them are old Bas or Taz guns lol

[fathom wagon]

There are 2 SCARs in the mod_system file that I commented out. I like their models but their animations for reloads are all wrong.
Flamer is there too but ofc I made it not use any parts.

[fathom wagon]

Man I love "modding"

[fair canopy]

@azure basin look what you made me do

[azure basin]

Bruh. You are the second bright spot of my day XD

[fair canopy]

@azure basin some stuff needs to be adjusted for the final version but it works

[azure basin]

You are a legend and a scholar

[hybrid elk]

hey all i have a little immersion/quality of life mod what do you guys think about a journal that we could carry around in game to write down which artifacts or mutant parts we have at base?

[wanton knot]

I've been tweaking the icons as part of my nit pick mod I'm working on, they are starting to look nice imho.

[hybrid elk]

i meant to say i have an idea for a mod**

[fluid idol]

I believe there's a mod with a journal getting added eventually

[azure basin]

The interactive PDA mod is adding something like that

[hybrid elk]

awesome

[random fulcrum]

can i use this with gamma?

[random fulcrum]

what the fuck is going on here

[fair canopy]

@random fulcrum how did you do the textures for your m416?

[random fulcrum]

i just uhh

recolored the diffuse that came with the model

to match this

[steady apex]

damn this flamethrower model and animation is like 12 years old at this day, amk vibes

[random fulcrum]

that's older than me

[fair canopy]

i figured out the texture part, do i just rename the normal as a .bump or do i have to run it through a converter? also how do i generate a thm?

[random fulcrum]

ah you meant bumps

[fair canopy]

yeah, the normals i have are all dds

[random fulcrum]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD5stu22Wls

i followed this tutorial

i'd assume this is like the most basic approach to doing a bumpmap

but it worked

for a thm you need the thm editor

obv you need to save as dds, not as tga

[supple folio]

wait so ur 416 is recoloured ingame? or the icon is recoloured

do u hab a pic maybe i missed it

looks coooool

[wanton knot]

oh that's the amazing gun from @fair canopy mod! 😄

[fair canopy]

putting some color on this boi. thanks momo

[wanton knot]

oh man how I wish xray had actual pbr

question for you guys, is there any know mod that tweaks pistol lowered position? or one that adds alt aim, like closer to the body?

[paper oxide]

I've got one

[fathom wagon]

Someone made this recently too. Don't know if it touches exactly what you want though.
#🖇old-mods-posting message

[wanton knot]

I'll take a look at that, thank you!

[wanton knot]

Did you made it available anywhere? 🙂

[paper oxide]

Pretty much changed almost all of the weapon's viewmodels, it's in #🖇old-mods-posting. Right here #🖇old-mods-posting message

[wanton knot]

Amazing, thank you!

[supple folio]

for vanilla gamma + this mod, do i tick everything when installing? or no

[still meteor]

no, this is for next efpwp update

[paper oxide]

I don't use Gamma I don't know what the MO2 list looks like and I haven't organized the download yet with MO mod, sorry about that. But you should install this over the weapon mods, just install what Gamma has right now. So just get folders 01, 03-08, 12 if Gamma has the MP7 replacement, and 14

[still meteor]

mmm, wouldn't it be better to DLTX the weapon position values?

[paper oxide]

Someone has suggested it, but I don't know how DLTX works yet. At this point I just want it to finish it, been working on this for a few months now

[fathom wagon]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/dltxify-by-right-click-for-modders-tool
This makes it pretty easy to do.

[paper oxide]

Though enlighten me, they're just the base weapon ltx files why would I need to DLTXify them if they're not interfering much with anything?

[fathom wagon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI3h08MxBSI
And this video helps you get setup

[fathom wagon]

Any file that touches the base weapon files in any way that is NOT DLTX will completely overwrite any other mods that made adjustments to those same weapons that were also non-DLTX.

[serene dune]

Does anyone know of a mod/the possibility of a mod that matches the First Person playermodel to the Third Person model?

[fathom wagon]

Not that I am aware of.

[paper oxide]

Didn't really see much use for it since barely anyone except, to my knowledge at least, has made adjustments to the base weapon configs. But I'll consider it just not right now, gotta get it done first

[supple folio]

yeye fair enuf, i think i was crashing with the mod loaded last but ill give it another try tn

[paper oxide]

I place it over the weapon mod that it affects, I don't stack them all at the bottom. See if it works if not well drop it for now

[merry ginkgo]

hi guys, is there a way to edit rpm of weapons via configs/others? for instance, I find some pistols a bit too slow.... thanks ! : )

[paper oxide]

Go to the configs, press ctrl+f and find rpm

[fathom wagon]

Just be careful with your edits. If you edit the base file only, it may get overwritten by other mods that modify that file.
Look into DLTX format. Here is a mod that does what you want for certain guns using the DLTX formatting: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/dltx-hellblaus-fire-rate-fix

if u are porting RFB from RDAP i can send main model

that lets you play music

[sonic birch]

sorry for bothering but anyone did that already?

I got tired of dealing with Provak and the wack way he had animations and the like set up. These are the only things that are gonna be left when I am done lol

hello when complete provak merge

[fluid idol]

lee enfield though

[paper oxide]

A sturmgewehr 44?

[fathom wagon]

Nah, Lord of War already had that and I DLTX'd that a while ago. Some of these guns rely on animations from different folders outside of its own weapon animations folder. I ain't dealing with that wack type of setup lol

[paper oxide]

I prefer this STG solely for the animations (though they're a bit stiff). LoW I presume uses the outdated Misery animations does it?

[wanton knot]

Hey guys, is there a technical reason why hd models is bad? Genuine question because I got curious and started taking a look at the models and they don't seem bad at all, hell, a rifle from BAS has like 3x the triangle count than the hd models nosorog character.

[brave prism]

currently they are not updated for 1.5.2

apparently they also cause performance issues for some pcs ? not sure

[bold mural]

isn't it also a bit like "if we could give a proper technical reason, we wouldn't be having this conversation"

[wanton knot]

Oh no I understand that, I'm asking because I was thinking about doing a texture pass on a better npc pack, I was looking into the gunslinger pack too

[bold mural]

last i heard they just broke shit for other mods for unknown reasons

[brave prism]

people generally dont like them and some of the models can look really out of place in stalker

[wanton knot]

I see, that's why I ask, not here to argue about artistic preference tbh XD

[wanton knot]

That makes sense, some textures feels a bit too bland and clean, they are well made tho, just a bit boring

[brave prism]

one last point: factions have weird camo pallets sometimes making them hard to tell from each other

[wanton knot]

Also the Hip replacement looks like an anime character and that's just off putting haha

[wanton knot]

That's a good point. Maybe a texture revamp trying to put things closer to lore visuals would be a good thing

Anyways, thank you! I'll do some testing here and see if it's worth doing a repack or something.

[fathom wagon]

The deed is done. And, like clockwork, I regret my time on this lmao

Provak's Pack is such a damn mess

[wanton knot]

lol don't regret, I'm sure you learned a lot going through the shit show

[fathom wagon]

I learned how NOT to structure a future mod that is for damn sure lmao

With how scattered everything is, I don't know how someone feels comfortable about that. I'd lose my mind trying to find or fix anything.

[brave prism]

thats the thing, no one tried to fix it

[fathom wagon]

Man just threw everything in a blender and hoped it would actually run lmao

[supple folio]

there is one that removes the egregious ones camo-wise

[wanton knot]

Oh nice, is that on moddb or something?

[supple folio]

yisu, try a curosry google otherwise i can find it

imo, i like the DICK models for everyone over HD but the merc ones in HD are 🔥🔥

[wanton knot]

Yeah overall everything looks amazing but some npcs just look awful, seems so out of place lol. Got tired of looking at butchers 30 polygons face haha

I found this one on moddb HD Models - Uniformity 1.5.1

[supple folio]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/kvmas-hd-models-overhaul

mite be this one

but ye i think still i like how alien the og models look for example on the loners/freedom/seva suits

cuz its like alt history etc

but mercs/NATO having that 70s vest aesthetic makes sense

but its also a diff art style so 🧍

[fathom wagon]

You can tell I went past my limit with my final files

[fathom wagon]

Only guns that survived the slaughter: Ruger Mk. 3 + Silenced Barrel variant I "made", Auto Mag .44, Beretta MX4 Storm (which I might delete due to animations) poor file structure was the death of it lmao, a digital camo MP5SD, and the Flamer + recipes for it custom ammo

[wanton knot]

the flamer looks really cool

[fathom wagon]

It is fun, but, for balance reasons, I only made it available from Master/Legend Monolith and Sin members. The only factions I could see having no afterthought from setting people on fire.

Lab X18 is gonna be a shitshow if I roll unlucky with their loadouts lmao

[cold flame]

ayo, where do i re-enable the mutant skinning animations from FDDA? shits gone from the mcm menu

found it, hope i dont break anything

[regal bolt]

>break anything
probably your save, if you manage to invoke the dreaded busy hands bug
but it is the risk one takes if they want animation mods

[merry ginkgo]

Is there a way to turn down mouse aiming sens even more via making a config maybe ? , minimum of 0.5 is too high for my habits and doesn't quite fit me... thanks 🙂

[cold flame]

busy hands bug, is that the one where you gun just disappears and you cant pull it out anymore or is it the one where sometimes when you skin a mutant after your done skinning it the camera will auto lock on the mutant you skinned even if you turn your camera around? both of those are easily fixed by quick loading so if thats the only thing thats an issue i dont mind re-enabling fdda skin animations

[simple scaffold]

hd models has many more models than there are stalkers spawned in most games. this means that it will take sever play thrus before you see them all. i have very good reasons to believe that one or two models are corrupted and cause crashes. will it affect you this play thru? probably not, will it affect you this year? maybe not. does it constantly cause crash reports to be sent to one of my addons? yes yes it does.

Also HDmodles edits way more files than it needs to. it also has identical models with diff names wasting hard drive space and ram.

[simple scaffold]

no, that is the lower limit of the console command use to set that parameter: CMD4(CCC_Float, "mouse_sens_aim", &g_AimLookFactor, .5f, 2.f);

[merry ginkgo]

thanks 👍

[lethal jolt]

If your mouse has adjustable DPI see if you can lower that instead

[jovial sorrel]

Write a mod

[wanton knot]

I'll keep those in mind if I ever move ahead with something. If you ever bother to look at those crashes again, let me know and I can try to check those models to see if there's anything funky, at least on the 3d side. I appreciate the reply!

[simple scaffold]

The errors don't identify the model. You have to work with the save purging stalkers until the crash stops then figure out what model that stalker had. Most ppl are not that attached to their save. I have done it once it took an afternoon. I might be able to look up the model for that one.

[hybrid moth]

Army mobilisation, literally

Playing warfare mode, is this ok? i feel team are getting bigger and bigger

sorry, wrong chat

[fathom wagon]

Alright, the "Not-So-Pro-vak" project is done. Only things left that didn't make me want to punch a wall:
Ruger Mk.3 + Integrated Silencer variant, Auto Mag .44, MP5SD (digital camo), and the Flamer with its own ammo type and crafting recipes. Enhanced recoil and actor effects included. Added to NPC loadouts as well.

[swift ember]

What does the gamma companion rework mod do?

It's off by default, just wondering if it makes them any better or more reliable or if it's a nerf or something

[tidal elbow]

Makes them harder to hire (and nothing else from what I remember)
Don't enable it

[fathom wagon]

If it is disabled by default, I'd keep it that way (usually due to either being a remnant of an older version of the pack or it caused too many problems/bugs). Only addons you can look into enabling that comes with GAMMA already are in the "Optional" or "Good addons with issues and bugs". But, as always, be mindful of what you turn on or add.

[karmic crescent]

Can someone please make a metro/subway mod. So instead of fast travel we can pay for subway from Rostok to cordon and stuff for example. Fallout 4 lost world has a mod like that, its awesome and an immersive way of fast traveling

[fathom wagon]

You can use travel guides as an alternative. There is also this that adds guides to nearly every area to allow you to travel immersively:
#🖇old-mods-posting message

[karmic crescent]

thank you

[fathom wagon]

Besides, the metro/subways/tunnels are technically all either sealed, destroyed, or crawling with mutants (if I remember my STALKER lore correctly). So it wouldn't quite be "immersive" in the game world.

[fair canopy]

hey that would be awesome!

[fathom wagon]

@azure basin i need to mess around with the textures a bit more

[fluid idol]

ha, oh no

[azure basin]

Fair, I strive to be educational content. But usually Im just dumb XD

[fair canopy]

i can promise you the icon is gonna look like absolute garbage though

[azure basin]

I can work on that.

[fathom wagon]

My question is: which guns?

[fair canopy]

the ones i like

and can figure out animations for

[fathom wagon]

We talking modded FO4 guns or base FO4 guns?

Cuz if it is base FO4, those def need some new animations lol

[fair canopy]

modded of course, they have a bunch to choose from

animations are whatever i can find based on existing ones we have, until i figure out how to do my own

[fathom wagon]

I used to mod the hell out of FO4 a while back and they have some good stuff.
I can hardly wait

I might have to hit you up on how to get started on porting guns in the future. Once I get on my winter break in December, I am devoting my time to learning Blender and modding.

[fair canopy]

my ultimate goal is to get a neopup into stalker

[fathom wagon]

This what you are talking about?

[fair canopy]

yeah

[fathom wagon]

That definitely looks like something that would find its way to the Zone lol

I want to get the British EM-2 rifle, so that will be my ultimate goal.
Or make some crazy tesla gun in the vein of the Flamer from Provak.

[fair canopy]

here we go

more use for 12.7

you saiud provaks had an automag?

[fathom wagon]

Yup. Have it all working, but the animation are pretty simple.

Lemme get a clip for you real quick.

@fair canopy

My game volume was really low so sounds are pretty quiet

[fair canopy]

not too bad honestly

[fathom wagon]

Already have a few other guns in mind once I get the ball rolling:
New Vegas' 12.7mm SMG (FO4 mod), HK G11, the Makeshift Single Shotgun + Improvised GL (FO4 mod), and a new Gauss pistol as a joke weapon

I kinda want to add more good-looking makeshift weapons since it would add to the story of GAMMA. Guns being pulled out o the Zone and being unable to be sold, so stalkers have resorted to crafting makeshift weapons to make due with their situation.

Like the Duplet from the SW Pack is a great example.

[steady apex]

idk, new vegas guns sounds more as a joke weapons for me

gauss pistol idea is pretty "famous", was in stalkersoup and OP mods

[fathom wagon]

I think the SMG was more of "another weapon to use 12.7 cuz why not", but I guess that does fall in the line of a joke weapon

Another thing I want to mess around with is using GAMMA's Artefact Melter as a way to create "anomalous" ammo types. Essentially would boil down to creating different ammunition types using artefacts (i.e. Dragon's Breath from fire-based artefacts). But I'd have to get around the ammo wheel being limited in the amount of ammo types it can show

I know PBA's Sandstone is essentially the same thing, but I want to have that act as a "jack of all trades" while the ammo is a more specialized and targeted effect.

[steady apex]

you might wanna check out "arti ballistics" mod in EFP

it has exactly this

it doesn't use melter though, just you break artifacts into ammo supplements

[fathom wagon]

Interesting. Thanks for that. I'll keep that in mind when I get around to messing with that.

[steady apex]

and it replaces old variations of ammo

[fathom wagon]

So basically getting around the ammo UI constraints. Cool deal.

My guess is that if you tried to force Arti's Ballistics in GAMMA, GAMMA's old ammo script would basically convert it to normal ammo.

[fair canopy]

it does

you need to disable gboobs and ammo conversion

[fathom wagon]

I'll have some work to do to try and make it GAMMA compatible in some way. I want the extra options w/o messing too much with GAMMA's base.

But that is for another day

[fair canopy]

i was trying to get just the effect ammo ported in but i couldnt figure it out

[paper oxide]

Continuing the tradition of adding prototype weapons to stalker. Believe it or not this was intended to be added to the game

OTS 12 Tiss, AKS74U but 9x39

[fathom wagon]

I believe the Simple Weapons (SW) Pack has that. Very simple (heh) version but it is included. Chambered correctly as well.

[random fulcrum]

yeah the model doesn't look particularly bad

like, brutally honest

you can put that tiss in piarticular as an addon to the old world mod on moddb

the model looks really soc like

[fathom wagon]

The one guy who put some of the MW and SW weapons for Old World probably had that same thinking as well.

Might give Old World a go once I calm down adding stuff to my GAMMA (prob never gonna happen lmao)

[random fulcrum]

motherfucker you just went from taz into fucking PROVAK'S

i'd bet money you're a teacher

[fathom wagon]

And all I got for my time was 3 guns

[random fulcrum]

with all that patience you got

which ones did you salvage that are fully usable?

[fathom wagon]

Nah. Currently in an accel. bachelor's program for Game Dev. Done in a year from now

[random fulcrum]

hella pog

show em how you unfucked provak's

[fathom wagon]

The ones that survived my patience: Ruger Mk. 3 ("made" an integrated silencer option since he forgot to add a silencer model but had the bone for it lol), Auto Mag .44, the digital camo MP5SD, and the Flamer (made custom ammo and crafting recipes for it).

The rest of them were super botched in how their files (meshes, textures, animations, etc.) were not organized in any sort of way.

Or they straight-up didn't work at all.

I originally had about 21 guns that I thought would survive.

But, as you can tell, most of them died when I started cleaning out unnecessary files and folders. Either they stopped working or they did not have textures b/c they were in some obscure folder that had nothing to do with specific gun.

Honestly, cleaning out the folders broke my patience with just how disorganized it was. Don't know how a person is okay with having all that in one pack and NOT organizing the damn thing.

The only thing I might post is the Flamer and its ammo crafting since I incorporated the Artefact Melter for some of the recipes.

But who knows, someone might be able to try something with what I have left.

[paper oxide]

Damn rummaging through 20 gigs worth of files just for 3 guns

You alright m8

[fathom wagon]

I tried DLTX'ing the damn thing, but when I went in for clean up of the generated file (so it wouldn't interfere with anything else in GAMMA), I realized I should've just went through the base files and ripped them out one by one. But I think I would've lost my patience must faster at that point. Would've seen the disorganization much earlier and probably would've lost it sooner.

[regal bolt]

what are you trying to do?

unfuck the provak guns?

[fathom wagon]

Tried. Only could save three that didn't have botched file structure among all its files, were working correctly, and their animations weren't completely jank.

[fathom wagon]

So I took that "Drugs Aren't Useless" mod and made most of the edits into their own drugs. Also made their crafting recipes as well.

Also don't mind the usage discrepancy from vanilla. Forgot to turn off a usage mod I was looking at lol

[wanton knot]

never too much crafting options imho! 🙂

[fathom wagon]

Here is one example:

Again, usage discrepancies are present due to the other mod

If you are wondering what they do btw:

Gonna re-arrange the text a bit

Need to adjust a few as well. Some are extremely overtuned and will kill you lol

[wanton knot]

drugs are bad

[fathom wagon]

One of them straight-up kills you and we don't need that happening lmao

[bold mural]

a shotgun with scope kit?

busted as fuck given how good shotguns are but damn stick the acog RMR on that and mmf

so good

[fathom wagon]

Courtesy of the EFP Weapon Pack. Pretty easy to grab and install into your own load order. Gotta fiddle with a few files though to get everything working.

Just remember: you can't post any mod you make for the weapon pack. It is only for personal use.

[fluid idol]

Those aren't even very good, Epinephrine lasts like 4 times as long with no downside

[fathom wagon]

Might be due to the edits only taking vanilla into account

Should I get rid of the negative effects then? Or tone them down?

[regal bolt]

I'd say turn the positives up
you are putting unstable artefacts into your body and turning your body into a anti-gravity field
you should get some 120 kg of carryweight from snorting that

[fluid idol]

Yeah, like at least 50kg. Duration is 20 minutes which seems reasonable

though are durations in-game time or realtime?

haven't bothered to count, something like The Masculine Meal lasts for 4000 seconds and gives you 20kg

[fathom wagon]

Wish I could find the file for cooked food. Can't find it for the life of me.

[fluid idol]

Check in the Cooking Overhaul files, it looks like GAMMA's changes are dltx

and the actual entries look to be in items_monster.ltx

[fathom wagon]

Never would've thought "monster". Thought it would be mutant lol

[fluid idol]

true

[fathom wagon]

The Masculine Meal isn't there. Oh well

[fluid idol]

I think it'd be under Chimera?

[fathom wagon]

I swear I was going to play tonight but got caught up in the medicine mod

[regal bolt]

crush up a full empty snort that shit like cocaine and see what happens

[grim sinew]

Any easy way to remove the mask overlay but mantain the rain dopplets and the hand animation to clean it? Zero idea of modding

[fluid idol]

Have to make the textures blank, I guess

[grim sinew]

Thanks! The idea is the option to remove the overlay and gain some fps but mantain the cool effects of the rain

[fluid idol]

I think the FPS drop might be because of the reflections

[grim sinew]

Interesting

are all the leaves supposed to be on trees in Melting winters? Are there not supposed to be dead bushes and trees?

sim_default_military_3_default_26 is the profile that we narrowed it down to the one time I had free time and a victim willing to run dozens of script snippets to identify the stalker to purge.

TBH if you want to fix HD Models you should go thru all of them and optimize the models. As i understand it they have a bunch of hidden surfaces and the textures are probably excessive.

Maybe the code snippet i tried to paste along... message without snippet;
Hi everyone, i'm still tinkering with UI XML's and am wondering if someone can help me understand why in actor_menu.xml from the GAMMA UI the bleeding_state and radiation_state are on a very high negative value for the x-axis; is this to prevent them from being rendered on-screen or am i missing something?

edit;I'd guess the icon for radiation to be "radia_sensor" but unsure at this point.

[fair canopy]

Yeah, if something has a huge negative value it won't appear on screen

[harsh oriole]

hi all quick question im in the endgame and i recently maxed out my skills from haruka's skills system is there a way to edit the max level without borking the game itself besides balancing?

[humble perch]

Thanks! in that case i'll just detect negative values and leave them as-is for now 🙂

[tight jasper]

open MO find file skill_haruka.ltx and edit max level here

[harsh oriole]

using notepad changing and saving created a new file called skill_haruka.ltx.bak and in game my skill is still stuck at 100% skill experience or am i just impatient ? :3

[tight jasper]

edit regular haruka skill ltx not .bak

filter it out

[harsh oriole]

i forgot to do it to all the categories testing now if it works

worked like a charm thank you very much!

[tight jasper]

Happy to help

[scarlet pendant]

@urban egret I only started Stalker a couple weeks ago and I'm unfamiliar with your mod, but since you asked for feedback...I like that factions are differentiated, but I think the weapons are too cheap and you give the player too many points to start with. I don't feel like I have to compromise, even on Survivalist.
I'm not too familiar with the lore, but some weapons stand out as odd to me for certain factions. Loners with the TOZ-194 (since Hip considers them rare), Duty with the AKM instead of AK-74M (since they are Russian), and Mercenary with the stocked 870 and SKS are a couple examples.

[urban egret]

Alrighty, I'll work on updating them over time
Kinda wore myself out making it these past few hours lol
However, thank you for your feedback. I'll be sure to update it as time goes by
This is my first ever mod for stalker anomaly made for the gamma modlist so there's bound to be more changes with time
I really do appreciate the critiques and will take them to heart <3

[scarlet pendant]

I was looking at making my own mod to do just this, then your message popped up and took my interest

[urban egret]

You can use my edits as a framework if you'd like? I don't mind at all <3

[scarlet pendant]

It'll be helpful to track down all the relevant files. What was your reasoning for some of your changes?

[flat glen]

So after some personal complications and such, I will not be continuing development on the Twitch integration mod, if anyone needs the source code though (even though it's really lame and just a "quick n dirty that works" thing), feel free to DM me and I'll get it to you in the upcoming days when I'm in front of my main PC again.

[fair canopy]

@azure basin i may have decided to do a thing

[regal bolt]

Hey im tying to mod in the ability to use a suppressor on a gun that doesn't have one starting off and ive managed to get it to work somewhat i set it up as a integral suppressor and it works sound wise but the texture doesn't show and if I try to make it one that is detachable it crashes when i try to load my save the only thing i edited was the .ltx files and if theres anything else i need to do to make it work properly please let me know.

[azure basin]

Dude it looks so good!

[fathom wagon]

For guns to have detachable suppressors, that model needs to have a "suppressor bone" on it. If it doesn't, the game will crash because it doesn't have anywhere to put the suppressor. Best you can do is make it integrated.

[fair canopy]

you can add it without the suppressor bone, however then it'll just be on the model as integrated rather than detachable

[fathom wagon]

Where did this bad boy come from?

[regal bolt]

Is there anyway to easily add a "suppresor bone?"

[fair canopy]

you gotta edit the model

[fair canopy]

the base model i imported from fo4 and then the gl is retextured from the bas scar

[fathom wagon]

That is a mighty fine job you've done of porting it. Very impressed.

[regal bolt]

Thats getting to things i am unable to do I think ill probably stick to just the untextured intragral cause i wouldnt know were to even start with any of that

Im very new to all of this

[fair canopy]

everyone starts somewhere

[round quest]

can anyone help me disable the idle animations of some guns?

[fair canopy]

remove the animation that ends with _bore

[regal bolt]

Does that have a ingame model cause i added it as a intragral and it doesnt show up ingame just the sound

[round quest]

wow, looks really good

[fair canopy]

no, it wont have a model unless you make one for it

[fathom wagon]

Are you trying to make a "suppressed" version of the gun?

[fair canopy]

unless the gun has a suppressed model

[fathom wagon]

You can easily do it through inheritance and it will just look like the same gun

[true tapir]

Nice

[fathom wagon]

That is how I made the "integrated suppressed" Ruger from Provaks.

[regal bolt]

yes of the an94

[fair canopy]

the an94 reanimation version has a suppressed version

the BAS version does not

[regal bolt]

do i just throw that on top of the modpack?

[fathom wagon]

Let me take a look at it myself to try and save you the hassle in case some files need to be modified.

[regal bolt]

Ty that would b rly nice

[fathom wagon]

Do you have a link to that mod? Can't seem to find it.

[regal bolt]

How would i go about adding this in would i have to make any edits to my current ltx files?

[round quest]

is it within the ltx of the gun? sorry to bother yall

[fathom wagon]

I believe so. Check in the "hud" section (i.e. [wpn_name_hud] in the ltx file)

[fair canopy]

It's in the mod list but doesn't drop in game unless you add it to drop lists

[fathom wagon]

I believe once you do it in the base weapon's HUD, it should do it for all other iterations (i.e. scoped versions) unless those versions have different animations listed under their HUDs

[round quest]

thanks, thats where I was looking but am a bit confused on what to alter and what these variables mean at the end of some of them

like the , 0.9

[regal bolt]

I dont see it in my list

[fathom wagon]

Look for the ones with anim_..._bore. Easiest way to disable them is putting a semi-colon in front of the name (;anim_idle)

[round quest]

im assuming they are timers?

[fathom wagon]

The numbers at the end modifies the speed of the animation.

[round quest]

ahhhh thank you

[fathom wagon]

0.9 is 10% slower

[round quest]

gonna try 5.0 lol

[fathom wagon]

Oh I see. The camo variant is the one you're talking about.

[regal bolt]

Do wut?

[fathom wagon]

The normal and BAS variant don't have a suppressor version. However...

There is a "camo" variant that can attach a suppressor.

[regal bolt]

is there a way to spawn that in?

[fathom wagon]

If you give me a few minutes, I can make it spawn on Duty and and Sin members since they would be the most likely to use the red camo.

[regal bolt]

ofc

[fathom wagon]

#🖇old-mods-posting message
There you go.

[regal bolt]

And what do i do with this and what does it do exsactly just so im 100% sure

Thank you btw

[fathom wagon]

Press "Install mod..." and select the file you downloaded. When it shows the small "Quick Install" window, hit the dropdown for the same so that you can choose the name of the file. Press "OK" and it will install. Just make sure you turn on the mod and now it will drop from Duty and Sin members.

[regal bolt]

another thought does the an94 cammo have a supresser bone?

[fathom wagon]

Since it does sport a removeable suppressor, yes it does.

That suppressor isn't integrated so you don't have to do any work to add a removable one.

I was just showing that you can attach the suppressor to it

[regal bolt]

I know and i know its a little nit picky but i was looking at the ads and grenade launcher and iorns with a pso scope and there widly difrent so i was wondering if there was a way to put the bone on the an94 abakan

If theres not an easy way to do that then lmk but just asking

[fathom wagon]

Not without editing the model sadly. That is purely model based.

[regal bolt]

Okay thank you so much for all the help

[fathom wagon]

What I can do is try to "make" an integrated suppressor version of the BaS model. It would look the same as the non-suppressed version but it would appear as a different weapon altogether. This one is simple b/c it just uses inheritance via code.

[round quest]

dark mode

do you know what this idle keyword does?

I've deleted it to play around and nothing strange happens

some of them have the animation speed modifiers after them, some dont

[fathom wagon]

I believe it means that if you stay idle for long enough, those animations will play. Just so your character doesn't inspect your gun while sneaking around lol

[round quest]

ahh thats what I was seeing, because I do like looking at the gun manually

let me try again

sadly doesn't work how I want 😦

[fathom wagon]

What did you modify?

Or how did you modify it?

[round quest]

after / before

[round quest]

game off, start game when changes are made and saved

it works by using the semicolon, but it disables the manual inspect as well

[random fulcrum]

you know you can edit hud stuff and then do f7 > numpad 0 > u

[fathom wagon]

This may be worth a shot: trying adding _disabled at the end of their names and try it. Worth experimenting.

[round quest]

I didn't, thank you. New to this

or after the = ?

[fathom wagon]

He wants to solely have his character inspect manually instead of its playing while. Is that able to be modified in the HUD editor?

[fathom wagon]

That is good.

Let me know what happens.

[round quest]

interesting, with grenade launcher on it disables all idle animations including manual. without grenade launcher it plays a different animation entirely

maybe this

[fathom wagon]

Most likely. Worth a shot I suppose.

[round quest]

I'll just ; them out for now, thanks for your help man

[fathom wagon]

I don't think there is an easy way unless you change the inspect script to look for the new name of the animations with the _disabled at the end

No problem. I could give the above a shot. Only thing is that you'd have to do that for all weapons and that is gonna be very time-consuming.

[round quest]

I wanna know where that idle timer is at, probably in another game file

[round quest]

I would be interested to try if only to answer my curiosity lol. Maybe someone can come along and answer it later though

[random fulcrum]

not in the hud editor

that's why i mentioned that key combination

[fathom wagon]

Ah. I wouldn't know that key combo since I have an 80% keyboard

[round quest]

ya I would have to auto hotkey the numpad lol

ill try it though

neat

[regal bolt]

Ok hi sorry i had to go eat rq any updates

[wanton knot]

I'll take a look at that asap. The model I saw looked fined and honestly I though it was quite optimized (the whole character had only 6k triangles)

And yeah I think I'm going to start the project. The main changes are taking things back to lore (faction colors) and to add more details (dirt and wear). I would love to add the nice things DUX does but I'm just a dumb artist, couldn't code to save my life.

[fathom wagon]

Have the coding done. Gonna test right now.

[regal bolt]

Thank you so so much

[wanton knot]

Hey guys, is there a list of available keybinds that you can assign anywhere?

[random fulcrum]

[wanton knot]

a list of available keys I can use, I know the config is there.

[fathom wagon]

All good now. I just had botched file structure. (Ignore the stats there are buffed from a mod I use lol)

Typos will not be included lol

[drifting glade]

someone has experience using cameras for texture making shit? I'm trying to make UI changes with more natural looks, and the only thing I thought is using a really green/pink background and taking photos of objects and stuff. Recommendation of cameras? Is better to use a scanner?

[fair canopy]

Can't you just use stock photos? You could probably find some nice ones in 4k

[wanton knot]

At work we have 5ds and a few sony a something. You want your light and background to be as neutral as possible. Like white lights and white/grey background

And the lighting needs to be well placed to cut down reflections and such. But as Andtheherois said, nowadays there's some amazing texture websites that you can use, a lot of them comes with albedo/normal/roughness too

These two are solid
https://quixel.com/megascans/home/
https://www.textures.com/

[mellow pasture]

Just a tiny reminder to mod makers. Check the game log after testing your mod. Make sure there aren't errors that you were lucky to not have crash your game.

[random fulcrum]

is this a threat?

[drifting glade]

nah, i was thinking in make my gf draw or paint shit according to the drafts I took

and using digital drawing or painting doesn't looks so good in more minimalistic kind of stuff

in that sense is drawing and revealing photos to stick to the prototypes

[mellow pasture]

[drifting glade]

no mamáaaaa

I always have stupid problems with scripts

[fathom wagon]

Don't think I will. Helps build character.

[mellow pasture]

😐

[simple scaffold]

lua_help.script DIK_keys table lists the values sent to you by the keypress callbacks. use DIK_keys.DIK_H to refer to the value, don't copy the number out of the table.

key_bindings is the table of actions that can be bound to a key by the engine.

to see if a key is bound to an action use key_binding.kINVENTORY == dik_to_bind(DIK_keys.DIK_H)

again with key_bindings don't use the numbers directly.

you should consider using MCM to manage your keybinds in your scripts.

[wanton knot]

Thank you, what I want to do is just assign useless things to whatever shady keyboard bind available. I think you did that in your mod, right? I was wondering if there's a list that I could check. In any case, I'm going to take a look at your mod again and use those. XD

One example is that I can't unbind the default arrow keys, it comes back when I restart the game. so I want to just throw some weird keys in there so it doesn't conflict with hideout placement binds, etc

[simple scaffold]

for quick and dirty things you can just test for a DIK value in the on_keypress callback.

if you are going to have it in a ppl facing addon look up the examples of using MCM keybinds, that way ppl can set it to what ever they want.

you may also want to look into using the MCM key_wrapper (currently a separate addon from MCM) that allows you to bind game keybinds to things like shift+x or double tap f

keywapper can really free up keyboard real estate.

[wanton knot]

Yes, the key wrapper is the addon that I saw you using those obscure keys. 🙂

[simple scaffold]

yeah. that is a fancy hack for lying to the game engine so i can "rebind" engine keys to things like shift+x

don't use the keywrapper as an example of how to do keybinds. it is a very fancy hack that is really only useful for what it does.

https://github.com/RAX-Anomaly/AmmoCheck/blob/main/gamedata/scripts/ammo_check_mcm.script
this is an example of using mcm for a keybind. also has the normal way that runs if MCM is not found

[wanton knot]

I'll take a look at those, thank you!

[simple scaffold]

In that case since you need to use the bind console command you need the translation table from the key wrapper. The dik names are not what the console command takes. So I made an ltx that has conversions

Also there is an actions ltx that lists what the bind command thinks actions are called

From those you can build the bind console command to rebind the arrow keys.

You're welcome ^^ Hope you'll enjoy it throughout all of it

[hard viper]

a few things, I would like to tweak how the more organized factions work, (monolith, duty, freedom, merc, military, bandit). I would also try to implement some sort of sanity system, I saw the new psy system and I love it, would be sick if I could integrate it in a way where being out in certain zones decreases a hidden sanity meter thats replenished by returning to more habitable places or consumables. And finally some sort of mutant sound feature, where causing enough noise would actually spawn a pack of mutants near you to intercept the fight. The last one defiently seems like it could be the hardest to implement

quick question, whats the purpose of having the two augmented addon files in the vbase nanomaly? does the 243 mod change/overwrite something that the 233 one doesnt have?

[undone lily]

?

[supple folio]

augmented as in the AUG packs

deez

does my question not make sense? im happy to reword it but ? doesnt give me much to go off of lol

[fair canopy]

Yes the first one is the guns and the second one is additional patches

[supple folio]

gotcha oki, was just a bit confused cuz when i was fiddling around with it, seemed like you could have guns + patches in the same file so was wondering

alg!

[fair canopy]

I haven't figure out how to do that yet. Saving it for the end. But at least I figured out how to not break textures when saving them in blender

[undone lily]

like you did for the MDR

[fair canopy]

Baby steps!

How do I rip some guns from a weapon pack, let's say B&S, and make it replace the vanilla weapons? What weapon files do I need to extract?

[fair canopy]

meshes, textures, sounds, configs, shaders

basically the whole thing

[paper oxide]

How about replacing vanilla weapons, like I want to replace the Vanilla VSS with B&S' VSS?

[fair canopy]

scopes are getting done

[fair canopy]

copy over the section info from bas onto the vanilla ltx and save it with vanilla section names

[paper oxide]

Alright thank you

[rigid wolf]

Mod idea - Have crows flock towards/around corpses of Stalkers and mutants on the current map. They're carrion feeders, so it'd be a nice way of knowing where some combat has been and an immersive way to find corpses.

[hard viper]

does anyone have some modding resources I can read?

[fathom wagon]

You could also replace them in the NPC Loadouts and other places where they could be called, but yeah modifying the ltx files would be as "easier" go around.

[random fulcrum]

[royal tiger]

i'll try that

i don't notice if something happens. what should happen doing that?

[rare sky]

Anyone know how I could get in contact with the gamma folk and see if I can get my mod into gamma?

Well, me and Mittens mod

[random fulcrum]

maybe talk to grok?

[rare sky]

His dms are limited to friends only iirc

[still meteor]

ping him in feedgbackl

i gues

[rare sky]

like #old-feedback-suggestions u mean?

[tidal elbow]

Yes

Or at this point @undone lily
This dude wanna talk with you about something GAMMA related

[rare sky]

Alr

Adding a mod a me and another dude made, it works with gamma

[still meteor]

btw, check if you can dltx/dxml your addon so it doesn't conflict with other things

[rare sky]

Alr

[still meteor]

i recently posted a dxml more guide addon which adds ome new npcs, check the files inside to avoid overwritin files like simulation.ltx

[rare sky]

STALKER-Anomaly-modded-exes ?

The only conflicts I have found is with Blackjack and Starting locations (It removes Tuzla Outpost location for renegade and replaces it with Darkscape sawmill)

[random fulcrum]

any storyline planned for the thing?

[rare sky]

In the future possibly

[random fulcrum]

let's go

[rare sky]

Legit my experience with modding is about a week and mittens idk how long, I have been getting help from people though, and a guy who knows a dude called Ghen

And It's been running stable for me

[rare sky]

It runs well with this on aswell

[undone lily]

How does it work with ISG start ?

[rare sky]

The exact same as base
