[grizzled light]

search for hud_fov or something

remove it
don't make it exist one piece

the hud_fov thing sucks for one handed guns, sadly

the fov for the viewmodel snaps when pulling up a gadget thing like a detector

pretty alright for two handed, in the other hand

thingamagik part 2

[grizzled light]

i'm wondering how long will it take to fully reload this gun

probably 10-13 seconds

the kar took 9.5 seconds to reload, holy shit

[solemn oak]

I actually managed to fix the snap / jump with the detector, so all that is left is the knife.

[grizzled light]

pretty much a problem with bas' guns

[random fulcrum]

bas guns are patched in gamma

[solemn oak]

Nothing snaps on my end now.

But I have searched for hud_fov for knives for like 5 hours now, can't find it anywhere...

[grizzled light]

good thing that gamma is not a soup

[solemn oak]

I also managed to make the bolts fov look good.

But knives.... knives still mess with my FOV

I have tried multiple m_knife files, removed all the hud_fov from them and nothing. It's all still very much in your face.

[random fulcrum]

you using barry's or blindaids

one of those is dltx iirc

oh shit don't tell me you are just overwriting files

[solemn oak]

I just edited some of the existing files.

Mainly items_devices

[solemn oak]

I think I'm using both, that might be because I had no idea that there were knife animations already added.

[solemn oak]

So I have Blindside's Knife Animations enable in fixes and 264- Barry's Better Knives Animations - BarryBogs enabled in newly added.

They can't be both enabled?

[solemn oak]

Hey I actually managed to fix it all!

I just edited:

264- Barry's Better Knives Animations - BarryBogs

Set the hud_fov to 0.74 same as my ingame HUD FOV and now it's all perfect! Not a single FOV issue.

The difference is HUGE!

I also disabled Blindside's Knife Animations.

[random fulcrum]

yeah but what about people that don't use 0.74 hud fov lmfao

[solemn oak]

I think someone who knows how to code could potentially tie the FOVs together?

So if you change one you also change the other, would that be possible?

Just don't look at me, I have no idea how to do it.

[solemn oak]

I can also make the modified files available, if you wanna take a look at them. I'm trying to share as many of my findings as possible, like that sky box making method with full quality and no artifacts.

[unreal moat]

what are the best mods to enhance graphic in gamma?

[solemn oak]

Some type of alternative shaders (I guess), texture packs, if you can make textures you can also make your own with a none compressed method for extreme quality.

[random fulcrum]

How to bring back the default look for the Zone: #╭📖faq message

[unreal moat]

can you pass me some names? 🙂

[undone lily]

Goddamn I hate the SR25 positioning

Used Tarkov as a reference, never again

I need to redo it from scratch

[solemn oak]

Try asking in #🔨modded-gamma-support they add some additional stuff to G.A.M.M.A.

Personally I like to use Upscale Pack Skyboxes instead of the default G.A.M.M.A. skyboxes, those are absolutely amazing! And they fix some of my issues with the night sky textures, as exporting without some really professional works has a really bad effect on the dark colors, which makes the night sky look, uh... bad, really bad!

[fathom wagon]

How bad was it?

[undone lily]

It’s fine, it’s just too close to your face

I need to make it held farer from the camera

Which requires remaking the aim pos of all sights

[solemn oak]

I've never seen these types of blood stains before, does anyone know what caused this? And if so, can something be done to fix this?

[random fulcrum]

bullets cause bloodstains if you hit stuff that can bleed

[solemn oak]

Look a bit closer.

[solemn oak]

It's like someone took a half of the blood stain, they all have these weird shapes.

[solemn oak]

It's like something cut the blood stain in half, and the area around it is green.

Maybe it is some type of texture glitch?

Or something with the ground mesh?

[random fulcrum]

why do you keep tagging me

also yeah maybe it's because of the geometry idk

[lusty herald]

Because you are it!

[solemn oak]

Because this place is supposed to be full of absolute geniuses who know everything, or so I've been told.

It does indeed look like some kind of bad geometry. Is there some way around it? An alternative way of displaying decals or maybe removing them from the ground? This seems to happen on roads, yes I dragged the body.

[solemn oak]

I have made some tests, sometimes the blood stains are completely distorted on some surfaces, on others, they look alright or really good, like walls, mainly flat walls.

[solemn oak]

I think I do have some idea how to fix this but I'd need the help of someone who can actually code because I certainly can't, changing a number here and there in a file is hardly even modding.

Would anyone be interested?

[pastel hollow]

a mod where you can command your companions to sit near the closest campfire would be sick

[random fulcrum]

stand near a campfire, talk to your companion, tell him to wait

[desert mist]

its possible play gamma with HD models?

[vapid valley]

yes

[vapid valley]

#custom-textures message

[desert mist]

could you show me how?

thanks

[ivory lodge]

I was working on porting over some weapons from different packs for personal use only (e.g. EFPWP) and was wondering which file actually affects the stock of a trader, if I would like to add gun for testing purposes to their stock.
So far editing Sidorovichs personal ltx "trade_stalker_sidorovich.ltx" or "gamma_wp_preset.ltx" (within the GAMMA Economy mod) didnt seem to yield any results.
Is something intrinsically prohibiting me from adding a testing weapon to a traders stock or am I simply looking at the wrong files?

[fair canopy]

You can just spawn it via debug to test it

[ivory lodge]

Oh yeah definitely and I did that initially as well for testing. I was just looking for an at least somewhat immersive way to acquire them without adding them to the drop list while I am ironing out any missing scripts that could crash my game

[lapis dove]

would be pretty cool if someone made a mod implementing escape from tarkov recoil

[undone lily]

happens depending on the ground

2009 game, keep in mind

[undone lily]

Be sure to refresh trader stock

[subtle trail]

YOOO

grok adds mod from #1035807043933720576

[solemn oak]

But it is just a sprite, right? It could still be fixed, it's still a 2D layer placed on top of the ground texture, correct?

[undone lily]

the sprite is good

[solemn oak]

Could the sprite placement be adjusted? As in placed further above the mesh?

Or, maybe as an alternative to avoid all the blood glitches, maybe disable blood stains on surfaces but keep them on the models?

And as an extra alternative, what if the sprite size was reduced?

[lunar nimbus]

we can make new blood wallmarks anywhere (and even make them dry out and choose rotation in 1.5.2 .. or not, dont remember ;] ), it doesnt sound hard to place custom blood somewhere and maybe not even hard to calculate direction and shit... hardest will be to disable default ones

i think we can replace default wallmarks for blank ones (easiest way imo), its just tedious because u replacing the entire blood wallmark engine system in lua ;[

wallmarks are luckily very cheap, not so sure about the calculation xd

[solemn oak]

I think you can disable the default ones very easily, some snowflake already made a mod which does this:

https://www.moddb.com/games/stalker-call-of-pripyat/addons/stalker-call-of-pripyat-no-blood-no-swear

[torpid kraken]

Would it be possible for someone to make a mod to separate weapon parts below 60% on second open inventory/stash just by pressing a button?
It is time consuming and boring to do manually. And it is something that is done very often.

[random fulcrum]

what?

[chrome yacht]

Shortcut to move all items based on criteria - this is how I understood it

[torpid kraken]

yep

[random fulcrum]

i don't know

it's not something you do often unless you mindlessly hover with shift held

try learning to prioritize loot

[chrome yacht]

Does better sorting has option to sort by condition?

[solemn oak]

I just thought of something really interesting, there's volumetric light, smoke, how about volumetric blood? Is that possible?

[red crescent]

how tf do you make blood volumetric?

not even that, what the hell is volumetric blood?

[solemn oak]

Here's an explanation:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA4ZibyDq9s

[solemn oak]

So... it looks like these blood decals can be easily edited via system.ltx or you can just use mod_system_blooddecals file in G.A.M.M.A.

bloody_marks are responsible for the blood stains on walls and they can be disabled, I think. Setting the size to 0 should do it.

[vivid jackal]

anybody know a mod that makes npc’s shoot only in semi-auto?

[random fulcrum]

try changing dispersion factors in difficulty settings

or taking cover

or both

[sleek iris]

Hello, guys. How do I get the backpack animation for Gamma? I saw streamers playing gamma with this animation but my gamma doesn't have it.

Any clues?

[vivid jackal]

not my point, full auto is rarely used in real gunfights

the point is for immersion

[vivid jackal]

should be in MCM options for FDDA

[sleek iris]

should be in MCM options for FDDA ? Sorry, where is that<? Tnaks for responding

[vivid jackal]

press escape, go to MCM menu, find FDDA and enable backpack animation

[sleek iris]

Thanks, I swear I searched for it adn found nothing

and

[zealous stratus]

I think it's not in mcm anymore cause it's causing busy hands

!busyhands

[queen pine]

DO NOT ENABLE any of the disabled animations. These are the root cause of multiple animation loops that can break the game, to the point where you have to delete your current save file.
This bug is called "busy hands", an animation loop that prevents the player from interacting with the action keys, except for movement. This bug can also and especially be found with vanilla animations. Try not to spam them.

If you are still unsure whether you have it or not, try to do any of the following:

• interact with objects or people
• use a weapon (you shouldn't even be able to see it when you select it)
• open your inventory
• drink/eat/sleep
• check your HUD in the bottom left corner

If you cannot do any of this, it probably means you do have busy hands.

The only possible way to, maybe, remove it completely, is to disable any extra activated animation that was previously disabled. You will also have to go back to a previous save where you are 100% sure that you don't have busy hands.

Certified DISABLED animations that bring busy hands:

• Opening/closing backpack and any option related to this
• Animation for skinning mutants
• Disassembling objects with Left-Alt pressed
• Picking up objects where you can see the hand movement

[random fulcrum]

ah muh realismo i get it

[vivid jackal]

yeah the whole point of all these mod packs is for more immersion/realism compared to base stalker/anomaly so lmao of course I’d want the gunfights to be treated the same way

[regal bolt]

eh, GAMMA's always been gameplay before realism, so that does not fully apply
but I just foresee the AI using their cybernetic trigger fingers to fire at 100% RPM even if forced to semi-auto fire

[random fulcrum]

yeah spawn a m14 and drop it to an npc

be amazed at the semi auto only fantasy

[vivid jackal]

point is, if you have mods that add drinking/healing animations, while also reworking the entire ballistic system, having to clean and maintain several parts of a firearm, asking for NPC’s to shoot semi-auto is not at all asking too much

[vivid jackal]

m14’s can go full auto so, sorry buddy your joke doesn’t work there 💀

[regal bolt]

not the one in game
and video games have always been very bad about giving the M14 it's giggle switch

[vivid jackal]

the one in-game is the civilian M1A, despite being called an M14

but yes

[solemn oak]

Is he serious? Semi auto? Can anyone recall body cam footage of someone shooting in semi in the past few wars? Unless it was a firefight taking place at a 300+m range?

[random fulcrum]

get a load of the gun nut

it's always like this

[vivid jackal]

you are correct

[vivid jackal]

lmfao I can link you a shit ton

[vivid jackal]

no idea why you’re being an ass about it I’m just asking a question lmfao

[red crescent]

and youre getting an answer lmao

[vivid jackal]

you realize the purpose of an M249 is to go fully cyclic during a firefight

[solemn oak]

Your point is?

[vivid jackal]

he didn’t though, he’s just been saying a bunch of sarcastic stuff

[regal bolt]

kindly have your argument in DMs instead

[solemn oak]

Also disregard the people with AR platforms.

[random fulcrum]

ok another, more realistic (i guess) example

the svd pmc shoots at an staggering 550 rpm

it's only in semi auto

mobs spray you with it

[red crescent]

he did tho, just spawn a m14 for whoever is your companion and enjoy the semi auto fantasy

[random fulcrum]

it IS semi auto, it is also really fast

and afaik no svd can shoot full auto

[vernal epoch]

The other take on why stalkers mag dump, is cause like barely any of them have formal training, and when something dangerous is near you in the zone, a few extra bullets down range never hurt

[random fulcrum]

unless your infinite gun nut wisdom proves me wrong

[vivid jackal]

that is my point, that’s literally his role in the squad, literally every other gun besides MGs are used in semi-auto IRL lmao

[vivid jackal]

you’re just baiting at this point, don’t give a shit anymore lol

[solemn oak]

You're kinda avoiding his buddies with ARs but mkay, I guess there's no point in arguing, you obviously made up your mind.

[red crescent]

you forgot to attach the lmao in the end

[random fulcrum]

then what the fuck was the point

complaining about being bad at the game?

scram, maybe complain in suggestions

[grizzled light]

and i hate how vanilla anomaly's svd only has like 50-65 rpm

[random fulcrum]

ain't worse than the wa2000

but whenever i think of the wa2000 my mind immediatly goes to how fast it shoots in gfl

[grizzled light]

but still

why is there a wa2k in anomaly

in the name of the monolith

[random fulcrum]

i don't think i've ever seen it drop in vanilla

[grizzled light]

one of the nimble things ever

[umbral cosmos]

I wonder if geiger counter be able to read outside radiation. When you get good gear and you stand in radiation pocket the geiger shows zero radiation but we know, that it should still show radiation that is outside. It would be nice immersive touch.

[random fulcrum]

shift 8 to make it show environmental rads

thought this was explained

[solemn oak]

Since everyone is more active here right now, does any of you absolute coding sages know how to implement some volumetric blood? I've mentioned it earlier.

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

[random fulcrum]

nah maybe wait for lvutner to stop his shader autismo

[solemn oak]

Huh? What, what? There's some shader related issues?

[sullen flame]

definitely not 300 meter range and very obviously semi-automatic
for a community who keeps jerking off about how "hardcore and realistic" GAMMA is, you're ignoring simple facts about firefights

[solemn oak]

Sorry, can't say I care.

[sullen flame]

LOL ok man

[solemn oak]

Yup, I care about the technical glitches, like texture issues, sprites, ways to improve the game and just because you toss some vid showing a guy shooting an old AK in semi auto won't make me interested.

Also, ancient AKs are not the best at full auto, even at 500RPM, so I'm not really surprised.

I'm just waiting for a genius coder to tell me if volumetric blood can be implemented.

You wanna talk realism? How about you take care of the weird looking bloodstains first? Which are far more jarring, kk?

[sullen flame]

doesn't matter if a guy is shooting an old AK or any sort of AR-15 style rifle, semi-automatic is definitely better for the vast majority of engagements due to ammo conservation and also accuracy

whether it's a close or long engagement

[red crescent]

[random fulcrum]

get a load of the gun nut

[sullen flame]

it's not even being a gun nut, it's just common sense LOL

[solemn oak]

Ye, well, again, I don't care and I won't argue.

I'm really just waiting for coding God who can give me some info on the whole volumetric blood thing that I've mentioned earlier just so that I can stop looking on weird blocky smudges on the roads when I shoot someone, kk? You understand, right? I'm not really interested in your vids, for each one I could post 3 more and I don't wanna get in to an endless loop here.

[sullen flame]

what are you on about bro you're embarrassing yourself

[vivid jackal]

you said this already

@random fulcrum call it “gun autismo” but this is actually common knowledge, it says a lot about you if you know nothing about it and says more that you can only relate it to Tarkov 💀

[solemn oak]

Me too, I found a way to do several fixes like weapon FOV, solved some texture compression issues and... I have no idea where these people came from. All I wanted is some really brilliant person who could explain if the game could handle volumetric blood, much like the already existing volumetric light and smoke.

[red crescent]

rip bozo lmao

[vivid jackal]

lol those aren’t opinions dude is being egotistical calling people gun autists for asking about an immersive mod to add on top “the most hardcore and immersive” stalker mod out there

[shell raven]

Yeah well sometimes it’s like that, people will ask, “why bother” to a video game to a feature that’s “realistic “ but actually isn’t fun

[vivid jackal]

what

[shell raven]

But he’s just one of those dude who’s mastered stalker and isn’t afraid to show it 😂

[solemn oak]

Personally, I just think the AI just gunned them down through foliage or something.

[vivid jackal]

how does changing an AI to shoot from full auto to semi make the game less fun

[fair granite]

How does it make it more?

[shell raven]

True, how does it matter tbh

[vivid jackal]

did we not just have an entire argument above talking about how more immersive semi-auto is because that’s how guns are shot IRL?

[fair granite]

But nobody care about this part of the immersion

[vernal epoch]

immersive =/= fun

[shell raven]

But where is it “more fun?”

[grizzled gorge]

Solo game btw

[red crescent]

preach

[fair granite]

Know what it's immersive? if the character actually was to stop to take a shit

Not much fun tho

[brave prism]

@random fulcrum @vivid jackal @solemn oak please calm down in your discussions and dont make it a clown fest of insults.
seriously momopate, calm down with the sarcastic answers and gatekeeping when answering questions

[vivid jackal]

you say this but GAMMA literally adds maintaining several weapon parts with more realism than literally any other game on the market

[vernal epoch]

That... has nothing to do with immersion not being the same as fun

[shell raven]

We’re just asking, is the feature of more semi auto shooting more fun?

But idk tho I’m not gatekeeping

[vivid jackal]

that dude literally linked like 5 videos of real life firefights, for a game that has a modpack who’s creator literally made a more realistic ballistic system, and tons of other immersive features,

how in the world is having a mod making NPC’s shoot in semi-auto (as how actual guns are used IRL in 99% of firefights) not more immersive (which directly correlates to “fun”)

[red crescent]

immersive =/= fun tho

[grizzled gorge]

Solo game = / = Multiplayer balanced game

[red crescent]

↑

[vivid jackal]

yeah but immersive can also = fun

LOL

[red crescent]

opinions are subjective

[vivid jackal]

yeah and that applies to your logic too buddy

lmao* almost forgot to add it that time

[vernal epoch]

I mean, if you want people to only use semi-auto guns, just edit the loadout files yourself and comment out all the auto weapons and see if you enjoy it

[shell raven]

Well man, what are you gonna do? You gonna try to make a mod that makes Stalkers so use more semi auto fire? Good luck then man I mean it

[grizzled gorge]

Btw, is it possible to make the ai run out of ammo ?

[shell raven]

It might be cool but at least if it’s like against other stalkers them using semi auto on mutants will just get them killed 💀💀💀

[vernal epoch]

Immersion wise, most people in the zone are not trained people, so I prefer having them mag dump at me

[fair granite]

@vivid jackal thing is that this mod is going for immersion and gameplay, not full realism. You can snore coke and drink coffee and literally never sleep . If you want a really niche mod, you gonna need to do it yourself probably

[still meteor]

most likely yeah, but probably needs to edit engine

[fair granite]

NPC with limited ammo could be nice

[still meteor]

imo doesn't make much balance

[fair granite]

if they didn't shot the ground

like crazy

[still meteor]

either you make them carry like 90-200 rounds and one tap them and you already got bloat of ammo in beginning of game or the npc spams and then later dies bc it doesn't have any ammo and encounters random mutant/stalker in a life

[vivid jackal]

i’m assuming that the mod doesn’t actually exist so, this is the best answer I’ll get

[random fulcrum]

there's ai_tweaks.ltx in configs\ai_tweaks

[vivid jackal]

thank you

[random fulcrum]

it has the infinite ammo toggle

[regal bolt]

i tend to find volumetric blood over the top in regards to the initial bullet impacts, since you dont really gush out blood when you get shot, instead it sort of mists onto surfaces from the exit. rather imo its post-bullet pen that volumetric blood really shines, leaving blood trails and pools as you bleed out. if we could get both systems working in harmony with the bleed mechanic i think this could turn out really neat, or even just setting the values up just right on a volumetric system alone would be good enough

[still meteor]

it works? it says unused

[vernal epoch]

Seeing as the code lines aren't commented out, it does something I assume

[vivid jackal]

you’re not wrong about most people in the zone not being trained but even shitheads from terrorist groups know the only way to accurate hit a target is with semi-auto

[random fulcrum]

huh guess i can't read after all

yeah just checked bitbucket

[solemn oak]

You might be right if the amount of volumetric blood was over the top but what if it was toned down a lot?

Also do you have any coding knowledge?

[random fulcrum]

the method is there but it's unused

[shell raven]

Well dog if you do manage to make a balanced semi auto fire mod for stalkers you’d be a legend 💀

[vernal epoch]

Like I said, just comment the lines in npc loadouts and see how it goes for you if you wanted to try it

[shell raven]

Maybe make it so when enemies die they lose a lot of their ammo anyway

[vernal epoch]

Svd guys tapfire at max speed regardless

[shell raven]

I gave a dude a 12.7 revolver from the simple weapons pack and the dude just fires it like an AR 💀😂💀😂💀😂

[vernal epoch]

Yea, npc's don't care about things like recenter time and so on

[regal bolt]

sadly not, i have a brain full of ideas and clear direction but i am illiterate for the most part. im trying to pick up some basic lua to work on a mod but its difficult between health issues and life. regarding toning it down, i think if anything going with a subtle blood system would likely be more impactful to the player. irl most impacts on target go unnoticed, with most of the effects coming from exit wounds (same for target shooting at gun ranges, could also add a better bulllet-to-metal impact sound for non-penetrations/ricochets) ie : blood splatter pattern on walls (could be a mix of texture and volumetric for visual direction), aforementioned bleeding (pooling + bleedout from untreated wounds, trailing [could need periodic spurts instead of 100% constant flow, stopping/slowing as your healthpool drops. maybe to 20%]) --needs scripting. seeing a combat aftermath like that, if you could overcome engine limitations for how long decals stay, would be rather immersive since it would also apply to NPCs too. the amount of times ive gone to the garbage and seen dead bandits in odd places and/or mutants mid-running away....

[random fulcrum]

you know, actually volumetric blood should be achievable with gross hacking via particles

[solemn oak]

I see I'm not the only one with health issues, hope you get better soon!

For a while now, I have been looking at, editing and generally messing with a lot of the blood sprites and they do look pretty bad on uneven terrain, as in, the texture gets completely distorted.

In short there's 2 big issues I have with them:

1. The area around really intense blood stains gets very green, for some reason, like from a shotgun blast to the head.

and

2. All that uneven terrain is cutting up the sprites in to all types of weird shapes, and that can look really bad! I had something like one blood sprite divided in to 4 really weird looking sections on the ground right in the middle of a dirt road, or maybe it was several sprites because I was using a shotgun, I can't really say.

That's why I thought that a really subtle volumetric blood/liquid option could resolve these issues. No matter what you do with the textures, they might still cause a lot of problems.

[solemn oak]

That's what I thought as well but since I can't code I'm trying to check if someone would not only see that as a solution to a few problems but also maybe try to implement it. It's nothing critical, after all sprites can be turned off like I've mentioned but if there's some really smart person out there with time to spare, maybe he or she could make at least a really basic volumetric blood mod. I'm sure that it would be great for G.A.M.M.A.

[regal bolt]

i wonder if layering various textures (like a system where one large texture is placed, followed by a few or so smaller textures generated at random spots onto the location of the larger texture) would help reduce the placement issues and division regarding the second issue. the reason im hesitant to suggest a fully volumetric system is mainly the fact that the engine is very old and its not using the full power of our pcs atm. idk how it would handle hundreds of fine volumetric droplets per bullet being plastered on some wall, especially from the 30 to 71 round automatics (ak, bizon or ppsh41).

[solemn oak]

It's worth a try, maybe making it an optional file? If everything was toned down and the blood would vanish within maybe let's say 5 minutes, it could work?

I'm not sure if messing with the textures is the way to go, even if it does go more easy on the hardware. I've been trying various different blood mods and stuff, haven't found any solution, not even any minor improvement.

[regal bolt]

fluids are hard

anomaly is going to go wild if the devs working on the core releases ever figure out a way to get the engine to play ball with modern hardware limitations

[solemn oak]

How hard can it be? There's already volumetric smoke and light.

[random fulcrum]

i've seen volumetric clouds too in the works

but the thing is, stuff like blood or any liquids need to interact with the environment

like yeah duh that's what volumetric means in games

but light is static

and volumetric smoke is kinda a scam

since afaik the only thing that toggle does is disable collision for smoke particles

which cvfx 3.5 doesn't even have to begin with

[regal bolt]

im still blown away by how (i think its hollywood fx? or cv?) has barrel overheating from sustained fire, and its been awhile since that was a part of the effects list

[random fulcrum]

but you know, blood needs to interact properly with EVERYTHING in its way

[solemn oak]

Hmmm, I'd suggest making an expanding blood sprite that would appear underneath the body but I have a bad feeling the terrain would also cause issues.

Is there perhaps some way to change the way the sprites interact with the environment?

I guess they look distorted because they are trying to somehow fill a section of the surface mesh?

What if they didn't have to? Is that possible?

[lunar nimbus]

with shaders maybe ;] i dont really know, i only know about 2d wallmarks

what i meant earlier is that u can make different sprites (with different angle) and draw them based on direction

[solemn oak]

That wouldn't help, it's like, every single sprite is trying to adjust itself to the mesh, right? So each time it has some weird geometry it gets stretched and the more intense the sprite the more green the outline gets. I don't know why it is so discolored, some type of transparency issue?

So... the wallmark would have to stop trying to adjust itself to the surface mesh somehow.

[lunar nimbus]

never seen this

[solemn oak]

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

[lunar nimbus]

if u wana rewrite this system in lua u'll need 50 different textures anyway ;p there will be no auto stretching, lua's wallmarks are much more limited, but can be better than engine's... its just boring to do

[solemn oak]

50!?

[lunar nimbus]

i mean for different angles xd if u wana make it stretched, like normal texture for direct shot, stretched to 45 at 45 angle etc

[solemn oak]

You've seen that link to my previous message, you see how it looks like.

I even dragged one body all the way down the road and this happens all over the map, except for a few surfaces.

[lunar nimbus]

i never really seen this green outline ;p its not really about stretching, its when texture meets the non-flat static geometry it draws itself with a weird color, i had this problem too

although i didnt see the outline i always had it getting darker

[solemn oak]

I've tried changing textures for it but that didn't help. The green outline is always there for some odd reason, maybe it's because of that particular surface.

But it's not just the green color, it's all just looking so messed up.

[lunar nimbus]

like this, first is the original texture color

[solemn oak]

If it was just dark red and not green then it wouldn't really be an issue.

Anyway, technical details aside, is there any fix for this?

[lunar nimbus]

🤷‍♂️ its a first time i see it honestly

maybe channels gets scuffed, remove shadows around the texture, make it transparent

[solemn oak]

I have no idea how almost nobody else notices this, every time I find some glitches people are surprised that something is messed up, like the detector, or night skyboxes.

The textures are already transparent, well, partially transparent.

[solemn oak]

Each time the geometry is straight, like a wall, very flat surface such as a concrete floor, things look fine but the moment the geometry becomes more complex, every blood stain gets distorted.

I might have something but a pro would have to take a look at this.

https://www.moddb.com/mods/blood-particles/addons/blood-particles-mod-1-0

[random fulcrum]

that's what i was talking about with gross hacking

the main idea was just to make particles look less like one single image

but i thought of making them move dynamically

because you can define particles movement but it will be static or random

but can't easily be made to follow idk, the bullet trajectory

keyword easily

because it CAN be done

i know it can be done

but holy hell even thinking about this gives me a headache

[solemn oak]

Would this old mod perhaps remedy some of that? The creator seems to have it all figured out.

[random fulcrum]

it's just this @solemn oak

[solemn oak]

What are you trying to say?

Is the file this guy made useful?

Could someone take a look at it and try to add it in such a way it would work with, Anomaly and G.A.M.M.A.?

[solemn oak]

Honestly, if it would consist of just a few random images, that would fine.

As long as the spite doesn't have green edges around the blood and it looks good it's still going to be an enormous improvement.

[solemn oak]

Sorry to bother you Gork, I'm sure you are a busy man but would you happen to know how to deal with the blood decals on uneven surfaces? Here's what I'm talking about:

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

Besides turning them off completely I don't know what else to do, tried some texture mods, messing with the size, nothing really gives a good effect. I even suggested some old mod from the older S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game:

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

But I don't know if it can be made compatible or, more importantly, if it would even work.

Would you happen to have any ideas for a possible fix?

[still meteor]

terrain geometry?

[solemn oak]

I was thinking of something much less extreme, as in adjusting the decals in such a way that it wouldn't matter what geometry the mesh has.

Or! Possibly replacing the whole thing with volumetric blood, maybe something like particle effects? Anything, anything at all.

[lament kettle]

I've always wondered how hard it would be, with all these snowy mods, to implement a weather / seasons mod with them? Maybe sometimes switching the game to a snow mod during sleep, if the weather says it snows?

It seems really hard and inefficient, but it would be an incredible player experience.

[random fulcrum]

at the very best (maybe) is ASR

which is a late autumn/very early winter texture pack

that has occasional slight snowfall

looks really moody

and cold

without needing to resort to covering the map in snow

like, yeah it could provide for a much better experience

thing is actually making the transition while ingame

i myself have a few texture packs on my gamma instance

that i switch from time to time

[regal bolt]

Hey quick question I was wondering if the DLTX mod is compatible with Gamma

[random fulcrum]

[undone lily]

It’s an old game. That’s it. There’s no fix.

Decals are applied above the texture

If the reaches the texture on weird angles you’ll get weird decals that’s it

[mellow cedar]

question

how hard is it to make a new rifle kit for a gun already in game

base being mosin

this is my mosin with an arc angel

how would i go about making this work in xray?

[undone lily]

Edit the R700 and Mosin meshes

Which will result in a horrendous result most likely unless you know 3D modelling

[mellow cedar]

i know unity a bit

but i have no clue what xray uses

[undone lily]

But an archangel mosin is like an archangel r700

[mellow cedar]

yes same stock different magazines

[undone lily]

So it’s most likely easiest to make an r700 variant that is a mosin

[mellow cedar]

ooo thats a damn good idea

[undone lily]

Using a banana mag maybe

Instead of the normal r700 mag

[mellow cedar]

its basicly a modified svd mag

[pulsar cape]

grokkkkkkk

mdrrrr

pplease

i beg you

[mellow cedar]

mdr?

that bullpup wtf thing in tarkov?

[undone lily]

Load up svd > take the mag and delete the rest > load up r700 > remove the mag > join the svd mag > add it to the r700 mag bone group > place the new mag as it should be like the normal r700 mag > export as OGF > edit ltx with the new OGF > try it in game > make a completely new LTX for the working OGF > edit XML to add the new gun name and description which is referenced in the LTX

Yeah it’s not exactly easy, welcome to X-ray

[mellow cedar]

.....

yikes

[undone lily]

It’s not positioned

And I don’t have time for it

TDog is gonna work on it

man i wish working on xray wasnt this much of a pain in the ass

[mellow cedar]

is it at all possible to import with unity?

or will they not tlak to each other nicly

[red crescent]

most of the time you need plugins to be able to export to xray file formats

thats the biggest problem

anything else is, if it can model, you can make it

[undone lily]

On the other hand, you throw a script file in gamedata/scripts and it’s used and you can modify it while playing > load a save > new script version is loaded

So it’s easy to develop and test shit

[red crescent]

you should join the stalker anomaly discord server if you want to find guides on how to do models and stuff for the game

because iirc you need soc sdk for maps but for models you need the coc/cop sdk

[mellow cedar]

yeah fair point

[solemn oak]

And how about an alternative to decals then? I've mentioned volumetric blood previously, some people said it is possible but would you happen to know anyone who could implenet such a thing?

Or, is there maybe an alternative to decals? Something simpler than volumetric blood and not a decal?

[fathom wagon]

It is a lot of work to make sure a patch for it works with everything they have planned for the 1.0 release, as well as changing anything they feel needs changed to fit the team's vision.

[undone lily]

Volumetric blood… good luck with this. You need to change the engine for sure. It’s possible, look at the puddles. Now it requires a lot of skill and time

[pulsar cape]

where i can actually change the weapons sounds?

[oak vale]

I have been sent from afar to ask or mention the possibility of changing the position of guns in your POV

mainly because NVG scopes or scopes in general with some guns take up a lot of space on screen and FOV is not a fun option as an alternative to fix that

and/or how I myself could edit or change it

[solemn oak]

There's no way I could make that happen, I have no idea how to code, I just make some occasional tweaks through researching and trying to deal with a problem via dumb luck really.

And I take it that there's no other alternative?

[undone lily]

Nope

[solemn oak]

Well, at least now I know for certain, what a shame. I hope that someone will try to make volumetric blood eventually.

[broken hound]

Alright guys i need a modding wizard to have a talk with me about a mod idea i have. if someone in here knows how to edit actor suits, as in world models and possibly how to add new ones, as in variants of existing ones this would be very helpful. please let me know if you are interested

I made a little patch for HD models works in Gamma.

Can I post it on mods-posting?

[random fulcrum]

did you make it work with gboobs

[weak moat]

What do you mean work with gboobs? I mean, the HD models doesn't conflict with it. And buckshots are still very low on armor penetration

[random fulcrum]

because old models from hd models still have gboobs profiles

new models will default to no helmet berill

[weak moat]

I... don't know what that means lol. I legit only start playing Gamma 3 days ago, I mainly use it for myself and it doesn't have problem so far

Does berill suit suppose to have helmet in Gamma?

no, as for damage to npcs go

ever since vanilla anomaly there have been berill/no helmet models

Maybe there's a guide somewhere?

probably opening the texture file, editing the color of the stash and then saving it again

[normal sapphire]

how can i do that exactly ?

ive never worked with texture files so i dont have a clue

Find the file with the textures in the mod, open that in your art editing program of choice, save the file back where it was

[obsidian void]

Is anyone aware of a method to inject a function into a .script without actually overwriting the original script?

[grizzled light]

did you know that

pretend that the bolt is rusty and is from 1891

[red crescent]

isnt the mosin supposed to load bullets with a mag strip instead of loading the bullets separately?

[paper oxide]

It's possible with 1.5.2 with the recent engine update that improves the scripting capabilities where weapons can have different reloads like this Arisaka here

However I imagine that's pretty much hell/take a lot of time to implement

[red crescent]

iirc weapons (or is it bas only?) already come with animations for tactical and dry reloads

perhaps is just a matter of doing the animations rather than implementing it via scripting

[random fulcrum]

yeah it's just reload and reload_empty

[paper oxide]

To my understanding a weapon is tied to a class from the original trilogy, if you open the configs you may see the an m16 designated to the LR300. Now bolt actions are designated to the shotguns and this ties on how they reload, by inserting shells/round individually. Now what jady has done here he switched the mosin, which was classed as an SVD, to the shotgun class which allowed him to implement this

[red crescent]

oh

[paper oxide]

So shotguns can only have one type of reload if we take things simple, unless you're the Gunslinger team which if we want to be on par with them with the detail and quality our little reanimated project's gonna take years

I believe there are 4 people on the team and they're doing it as a hobby

[undone lily]

I’m wondering where’s the arikasa at now

Was it sound missing?

[solemn oak]

Does anyone have any idea how to adjust the bullet hole decals on trees?

Or just disable them.

[grizzled light]

eh, just change the animation system

(i have no idea on how to do it)

i dunno if it worked on a pu mosin (or any guns that can't use stripper clips with the scope on)

[grizzled light]

(oh ye this for "balancing the gun because it's better than the kar in every way possible, even availability")

just trying to make the gun slightly awful compared to the kar while not messing around with the stats

[solemn oak]

I have no idea why this is happening, first it all looks fine.

[wanton knot]

that faction logo or whatever that is hurts my soul

[undone lily]

Yeah you too right

[solemn oak]

Then this is how looks like.

And what happens next? All the bullet holes appear again, then few seconds later, same thing happens.

(Yes, yes I know, slow internet.)

Are the trees in the game moving?

[crisp orchid]

Can anyone tell me how exactly do i translate mod? I created "rus" folder besides "eng" folder in the "text" folder, then copied and translated xml file properly (using other mod as a reference). Do i need to do anything else for it to work or should it work already?

[solemn oak]

I don't really see any tree movement but it looks like the decals sink literally in to the tree and then pop back out again. It's so annoying!

[crisp orchid]

I noticed that trees are moving on the wind.

Textures at least.

Idk what causes that.

[solemn oak]

Well, that would explain the decal issues.

I thought that only the upper part of each tree moves, I had no idea it was the WHOLE damn thing!

[vernal epoch]

That should work

[crisp orchid]

Thanks, checking now.

[solemn oak]

Hmmm, I guess that when I set:

tree_amplitude_intensity

in all the weather related files:

w_clear1.ltx
w_clear2.ltx
w_cloudy1.ltx
w_cloudy2_dark.ltx
w_foggy1.ltx
w_foggy2.ltx
w_partly1.ltx
w_partly2.ltx

Then the trees should remain static, am I right?

But is there maybe some alternative to keep the branches moving and just leave the tree trunk static?

[pulsar cape]

i can revert it to normal, im just testing, but how to fix the silencers position in the ui @undone lily / @wanton knot ?

🤣

[wanton knot]

Make a DLTX mod to tweak those, it would look like this.

[pulsar cape]

or i can edit the files already in the root

[fathom wagon]

I recommend DLTX as messing with root files can cause issues if not done properly and can conflict with other mods.

[wanton knot]

Listen to the man, unless you want to keep editing those files forever everytime there's an update, or having outdated data in your modlist without even realizing

Also, it's waaaay cleaner to have all the tweaks in one file than having one file for each weapon.

So guys... Is there a difference between walking speed and walking speed while ads?I thought that having a minor bump in speed while adsing attached to endurance (having a new skill would be even better) would be really cool

[solemn oak]

I have actually managed to fix the trees so that the tree trunks don't move (at least after some initial testing they seem stable) and thus they display the decals properly without them popping in an out all the time.

Just set:

tree_amplitude_intensity to around 0.005 or 0.004 or even 0.003

It makes the tree trunk far more stable and gives the branches a bit more of that natural movement, some decent movement is still visible at 0.005 maybe it could be pushed to 0.007 without impacting the tree trunk too much.

By default the tree swaying effect was WAYYYY too extreme.

[pulsar cape]

i mean in that im with you, you can make one dltx file with all the patches info that you need to your needs

[wanton knot]

Yeah, I'm making a new mo2 profile for 1.0 now and I had a few non dltx edits I did, changing those up asap.

Would it be too hard of a task to implement placing weapons on the ground or any other solid surface via using their bipods.

Would apply to LMG/HMG and some snipers. It would increase accuracy and recoil if used.

I think of putting this into suggestions but not sure if it requires too much work. Just a simple bipod placement and temporary stat increase.

[tawny sable]

To place the weapon, player needs to go into low crouch position.

Can someone please help me with changing a worldmodel / 3rd person model of a suit? I'm trying everything and i cannot get it to work

[still meteor]

just copy any random model file from greh/sin folder and rename it to the file it wants

easy fix

[regal bolt]

groks has basically said in various suggestions regarding third person to abandon all hope for it, iirc because of the first person player view models being the priority and being too difficult to fix and get aligned & functional between Dux's innumeral character kit, THAP and its patches plus i think body awareness (?).

[broken hound]

i don't know what that is supposed to mean. It is possible to change world models of suits / items, i'm just doing something wrong so thats why i ask for help

[random fulcrum]

actor visual or something like that in the outfit's definition

sounded stupidly straightforward to me

[still meteor]

check how 251- Better Portraits Icons - Lauta_ro addon works

it's the addon that replaces portraits/characters visuals in third person

[broken hound]

thats literally what i have been trying to do in the o_lcs.ltx i have tried changing the
actor_visual = actors\oa_ee\stalker_ghillie.ogf
npc_visual = actors\oa_ee\stalker_ghillie.ogf

to one of the many models that Dux's Innumerable Character Kit is providing to the NPC Models. But nothing i do tracks

And my "mod" is in last in the loadorder

[random fulcrum]

did you spawn a new copy after the change

[broken hound]

yes

[still meteor]

do a DLTX mod

[regal bolt]

it means my brain is fried after waking up and i cant read channel names anymore. still, basically its just what ive heard regarding third person view models as a whole. changing them seems to be a pain

[broken hound]

i don't know how to do that

[still meteor]

just edit the addon i sent you

[broken hound]

i'm new to stalker modding i'm just trying to get this to work as a prove of concept so i can then focus on making more suits that have different looks

[still meteor]

like idk, you want to edit sunrise stalker suit

first check if it doesn't exist in the file of the addon
if not, type

![stalker_outfit]
actor_visual = actors\oa_ee\stalker_ghillie.ogf
npc_visual = actors\oa_ee\stalker_ghillie.ogf

[broken hound]

what addon do you mean the 251 ?

that one deals with portraits though doesn't it ? I want to change the 3rd person model that is applied to the player when he puts on a ghillie

[random fulcrum]

that's what he's telling you to do

[broken hound]

ok thats fine but the mod he directed me to is not doing any of that but concentrating on portraits instead of world models. so i'm at a loss of what to do now

if any of you are available to walk me through it once in VC that would help a lot

[random fulcrum]

yeah thanks i feel very welcome

[loud willow]

hello guys I've never done any modding on stalker but i kinda like the idea. i know c/c++/c# and other web languages, and was wondering if any of these are useful for modding

[versed wave]

moding stalker is in LUA afaik, from wiki: Paradigm: Multi-paradigm: scripting, imperative (procedural, prototype-based, object-oriented), functional, meta, reflective, if these are familiar to you, you are in luck

[random fulcrum]

i don't think so, i've seen weathers with FLYING clouds but kinda static trees

[loud willow]

is noone tampering with the game's engine?

[random fulcrum]

it ain't necessary 99% of the time since 1.5.2 included a bunch of callbacks that are REALLY useful for modding

plus the ability to implement your own custom callbacks

engine modding is now mostly relegated to implementing very minor stuff, mostly qol

[solemn oak]

In some cases, tree_amplitude_intensity was set to 0 so no matter what wind_velocity you'd set you would probably not affect them, at 0 they are completely static objects.

[random fulcrum]

yeah that's why i said "kinda static"

they moved

but i don't know

weathers seem too tedious to do

they remind me of weather modding for old gta games

basically the same method

[loud willow]

can i read more on this? sounds interesting

[random fulcrum]

it's uhh in the scripts

as always

[loud willow]

so you call the callbacks from the scripts?

like some sort of interoperability between c++ and lua?

[solemn oak]

It's not so bad, takes a little bit of dedication but you can get it working reasonably well, just gotta adjust it for rain and storms a little and that's easy enough with Notepad ++ I just set one stable value for each weather type between 0.006 and 0.003.

Going too far with tree_amplitude_intensity causes a massive issue with decals on trees, as the tree sways like mad, which it shouldn't (except for the branches, like during a storm) will cause the decals to sink in to the mesh, giving this really weird effect where the decals appear and vanish only to appear again.

[versed wave]

how to swap a folder from anomaly packaged one to a modded one? I need to get rid of original contents completely and fill it with my own

[north wigeon]

*@still meteorthanks bro, imma try it out!

@still meteor i may ping you again if i cant figure out how to do it so sorry in advance

[north wigeon]

Yeah, if someone could walk me thorough this actor file replacement it would be greatly appreciated. Ive tried renaming a file in the sin folder (i think) to this-
stalker_greh\stalker_greh_dazhbog.ogf' and it still says the file is missing. Im sure im doing something wrong. pls help

[still meteor]

basically the game wants stalker_greh_dazhbog.ogf file

if you type the model name, it won't find anything

[north wigeon]

yeah, may have just fixed it!

[still meteor]

ok

no need for explain then lol

[north wigeon]

i just renamed a actor file from the greh folder to the missing file and was able to take a few steps past the point of crash ive been experiencing . I think i used the wrong greh folder the first time i did it (connected to a diff mod not the core folder)

thanks for your help. This issue does seem to be fairly widespread for those of us that us HD models and its always with this one file in particular in red forest so hopefully this helps other folks too

[pulsar cape]

the only thing that you need to do for hd models to work are follow the steps posted and start a new game

you do no need to replace any files

!hd

[queen pine]

HD models are here: #custom-textures

[pulsar cape]

even if you go to gamma extended mod in #1035807043933720576 you gonna see he have a profile ready with all the requirements and you gonna see in brackets that say a new game is required

[north wigeon]

im aware but im telling you that there is either a conflict or some issue relating to that file. I was 50+ hours into this play thorugh (using HD models the entire time since new game and ive pretty much memorized the conflicts listed in this discord) and still ran into this issue. If you search in the discord using my error message youll see about 10 others referencing this

Idk if in their playthorughs they tried adding HD models in midway but I can assue you i did not

Ive only ever played with them

[pulsar cape]

because as explained before, gamma has some npcs linked to dux, and request files from dux, for you to fix you need to make a patch and edit the npc actors files to work with hd models.

[north wigeon]

Thats the first Ive heard of that. Like I told the other guy I've replaced the missing file with an existing one so it appears to be working now. Is that what you mean by patch?

[pulsar cape]

that works as a patch too

but if you make a dltx edit you can avoid that type of conflict too

[north wigeon]

How come this isnt stated in the custom textures?

[pulsar cape]

and then you dont have to replace files

[north wigeon]

I dont know how to do that and i doubt neither do most peeps

it may help for someone to put that in the custom textures tab with assistance or a walk through on how to prevent this in the future.

[pulsar cape]

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

to be more specific, with dltx you can actually override everything in gamma and fix whatever you need without conflicts

[north wigeon]

Interesting, i just don't have any experience working with mods in that way. Thanks for the info. Im sure if I read through it enough I could figure out what youre saying but I'd still say a simple walkthrough maybe should be pinned in the custom textures tab relating to HD models as a warning/fix. (not that im saying it should be you necessarily)

Like i sort of know what DLTX is but not how to work with it. It probs sounds simple to you tho lol

[pulsar cape]

it is simple

because what you need to find is the string that actually is requesting stalker_greh\stalker_greh_dazhbog.ogf

and replace it with the hd model of your choice

and put the indicator that tells the engine is an override

[north wigeon]

Gotcha, well like I said I just did it in file explorer but I see what you mean about preventing future problems by doing it that way.

[versed wave]

From DXML man. Where do I find _g.script?

[random fulcrum]

Is there a way to force a reset on task-giver cooldowns? Might look into making a mod that allows you to spend money to force a reset to allow some NPCs to have tasks to give again.

Hey, any idea where the game is pulling the patches textures from?

Has to be two different files for the screenshot above since Monolith patch in the loot window differs from the one in the new game faction selection screen.

[undone lily]

Find the engine patch and maybe

[undone lily]

Not currently because it introduces a number of things I’m not a huge fan of

Atleast at some point the balance got changed a lot and I didn’t like it

[dapper hull]

I see, thanks Grok. Is there a way to patch it in with the current GAMMA or more hassle than it's worth you think?

[undone lily]

You should be able to use the new version. Simply take care of the conflicting files, namely Reload and Unjam on the same key

[cold loom]

What about anomaly gunslinger when it comes out

[undone lily]

Is anyone really developing this ?

[cold loom]

yep its almost done actually

[undone lily]

Source ?

[cold loom]

A.Z.O.N.E HAZE 2

its cringe that they decide to release it in a modpack but

whatever

[undone lily]

I wouldn’t trust this

[cold loom]

looks legit idk

[undone lily]

If you know how half of gunslinger is working, I doubt anyone can adapt it for anomaly

What can be done is porting all hands meshes and guns and forget any compatibility with anything but gunslinger in anomaly

[cold loom]

The engine is not the problem its the hand and weapon mesh

[undone lily]

Yeah I know it very well

The thing is gunslinger isn’t only hands and guns, so many things are added by engine code injection

[dapper hull]

I usually use mags so it disabled but I kept getting an a_arti_jamming_mcm error. Not sure what causes it.

[undone lily]

Mainly all the cool effects and things that make gunslinger nice

[cold loom]

yeah yeah excuse me then, what I meant is gunslinger animations

[undone lily]

Well, it’s good, but gunslinger vs everything that is developed in anomaly right now…. ?

Like, all the anomaly animations newly developed won’t be compatible

(Knives, axes etc)

New guns aren’t compatible

[cold loom]

why wouldn't they be

[undone lily]

Cause of the hands mesh

[cold loom]

Its using vanilla mesh

thats why im hyped

[lunar nimbus]

afaik Parazit is porting gunslinger's weapons

[undone lily]

Oh

[cold loom]

go check the VK you can see them using BAS weapons and Gunslinger at the same time

[undone lily]

So they re rig all animations and guns ?

Ah interesting

[cold loom]

I'd like to think so

or they've re rigged BAS with gunslinger either one

[undone lily]

Releasing it in a modpack isn’t the smartest move but ok

[cold loom]

^ This

[lunar nimbus]

it wont be port actually, its more of a replication since skeletons are different (except gun models)

[undone lily]

Or in a modpack but accessible on GitHub like what gamma is doing is fine

But shoving it in a 14Gb archive isn’t smart

[cold loom]

I doubt they'll have a github let alone a modorganizer kek

[undone lily]

Yeah that’s what I feared

[regal bolt]

mod idea:
prisoner convoys
basically what this is is say after a fight happens and theres a downed stalker (any faction really except mono for obvious reasons) the people that downed that stalker might decide to take them as a prisoner or captive so they would walk around the map with the captured stalker
this is where you come in
you can decide to save them resulting in some reputation some money and maybe a stash coordinate if you're lucky

TL:DR hostage rescue missions but they can happen by themselves and move around the map without needing to get given the task by some random stalker

So I'm trying to figure out how to change the color of the condition bar below gun/armor parts. I'm colorblind and it's hard for me to make out the difference between the green and the yellow. I want the color for part condition above 60% for guns and 50% for armor to be one I can actually see, like blue. Right now I have no way of quickly seeing if a part is able to be repaired or not, I have to hover over each part individually, and when there's a lot of parts and a lot of parts per stack that is very annoying, and time consuming. Would someone be willing to either explain to me how to do this, or point me towards an existing mod that does this? Thank you.

[steady apex]

Have you installed modded exes correctly? You need to unpack all folders from the archive manually into anomaly directory

[cerulean tide]

never made a mod before, but i'm looking to start with something simple by making a new ammo type, does anyone know any tutorials relevant to that i could use?

[charred dragon]

Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but worth a shot I guess.

Back when I first played STALKER - Shadow of Chernobyl, there was the 'Shadow of Chernobyl Complete' mod (https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-complete-2009)

One of the things I loved from it was the save menu options - you could hit 'Save Level Name' or Esc + S and it would do it immediately. Basically a much better version of 'SaveGameName' (https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/savegamename)

Screenshots show the name that is saved and the option in the menu (and shows the shortcut text in bottom left-hand corner)

I don't mod this game at all, but 'm thinking, it should be easy enough to take the menu items from the .ltx files and integrate them into a mod for GAMMA? Not sure if someone could help with it (I have STALKER Complete installed, so I could find the relevant files).

TL:DR - Want a mod/support to make this mod that adds a new save option - when you click it, or use the shortcut (Esc + S or something) it saves the level name, date, time immediately.

@native shoal I have a question regarding the Improved Ultimate Backpacks Version 2 mod (#🖇old-mods-posting message)

I have an issue where when I loot something, the weight display changes to what I think is the incorrect value. But this also negatively impacts stamina (so it's a real weight change). If I save the game and reload, it fixes itself. But I have to do that every time.

Not sure if it's a problem with additional mods I have, or if I have the wrong load order. Happy to help provide logs if you can point me in their direction. Thanks 🙂

you can check if it is installed correctly when you enter to the game on the left bottom corner, it says demonized exe (sss, bas ect etc) 3.2 and something else

@undone lily

[brave prism]

gamma uses the modified exes by demonized but further modifies them as far as i understand at least ?

[brave prism]

there is a new version ?

I was fooled by the splash screen 😅
Tt just did not occur to me that it could be not working for whatever reason

yeah dxml 1 had modified _g script

dxml 2 doesnt modify g script snymore

[obsidian void]

Newest version? I haven't updated the latest one I think

[still meteor]

and author Said to delete _g script (from dxml 1.0) if you were updating to dxml 2.0

[versed wave]

it is missing something
when I installed modded execs manually, I finally got my script executing and now have to fuck with LUA errors. but it's working at least

[undone lily]

I guess it got updated

I’ll make the new exes soon

[versed wave]

I think execs are fine, it is missing these

[undone lily]

For sure it doesn’t have the dxml core stuff

[versed wave]

it aint in MO2 either

[undone lily]

Mainly because I don’t need it currently in the pack

[versed wave]

then the splash screen is misleading and I (and it seems I wasnt alone) wasted 3 days for nothing

[pulsar cape]

i sended you a dm

[random fulcrum]

but it doesn have dxml, just not the most current version

[versed wave]

it wasn't working at all for me, idk

[undone lily]

The exe have dxml but the scripts aren’t there yes

[versed wave]

ok, that will sound like I'm trying to annoy you, but I'm really just trying to understand what I'm missing
why include DXML on the splash screen if it's not working?

[undone lily]

Cause I thought DXML addons would add the dxml scripts anyways

[versed wave]

oh

[undone lily]

And currently gamma isn’t using any dxml related addon

So indeed the scripts aren’t there

But the exe should be DXML compatible

i guess it's a nice incentive to maybe try and patch the existing addons into dxml

also i believe

that storylines has been dxml since a long while ago

[undone lily]

Indeed. But honestly it’s not a big issue for gamma, I just merge XML files

[undone lily]

Gamma set the new version of all the storylines xmls anyways

Since that’s the gamma community that improved the translation

Dxml is nice indeed

[pulsar cape]

what about this mod @undone lily https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/old-dog-sleeves

[random fulcrum]

but we have thap

can you please read the mod list

[pulsar cape]

i know we have thap

but this one looks better than thap, so

[undone lily]

Debatable

[pulsar cape]

i tested it myself yesterday

with jaku tweaks it looks, chef claps

[random fulcrum]

well that's fine, it works, keep it in your modlist

[charred dragon]

THAP looks incredible. Prefer the Nosorog arm I can see vs those above

[random fulcrum]

i for expample use thap haze because it looks hilariously operator-like

and i like really over the top stuff

[charred dragon]

The only thing bothering me currently with my mods is the DLTX Ultimate Backpacks not updating the weight properly. Or messing it up when I loot stuff. Constantly have to reload to get the correct weight to show up.

[still meteor]

yeah backpack open kinda mods work very broken

not really recommended, from what i read it could corrupt your save long in the playthrough

some old dog hands look really good

specially the for the no outfit/novice outfits

some for duty too and sevas

Doe anyone know an answer to this?

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

I'm just trying to make a smaller blood stain in GIMP, I saved the file as a PNG and I have no idea how to save it as a DDS with transparency.

[charred dragon]

Oh shit. Really?

I do like the weight reduction part, but maybe I should just leave it alone and be happy with just extra weight allowance from a backpack.

[inner rose]

What is the sec parameter that shows up in lots of scripts?

[random fulcrum]

check what it's being defined as?

for all it's worth you can see a lot of variables called poop

[inner rose]

I'm trying to understand the arguments of utils_item.get_param. I'm not sure what a 'section' is.

[random fulcrum]

it's the name between [] things

say [wpn_gauss]

that's the section

[inner rose]

Thanks. I think I've got the velocity-dependent sin shields written now. Now to test!

[narrow geyser]

Can anybody tell me the name of the font used for the Gamma logo? Not the gamma itself but "Grok's automated modular modpack anomaly"?

[random fulcrum]

it's the modern warfare 2 logo

[narrow geyser]

I knew it looked familiar... lol

[versed wave]

if voice_no == 4 then voice_no = 3 end

umm... this somehow didn't work... wut?

voice_no was left at 4

[versed wave]

oh, oh fuck

it is a string, not int

[paper stirrup]

so is there a season change mod that works with gamma? (just tried project inverno, like the snow but its lil dark and seems only winter season constant)

[random fulcrum]

???

[still meteor]

if you mean, in game season change then no

need to modify outside game

[narrow geyser]

I can't find the font for the life of me. Everywhere it says it's supposed to be BankGothic but the ' and M is different. The K as well

[versed wave]

local results = xml_obj:query("specific_character")
if is_not_empty(results) then
    local i = 1
    
    while results[i] do
        local snd_config = results[i]:findElement({name = 'snd_config'})
        (...)
        i = i + 1
    end
end

[pulsar cape]

dont forget that arrays the first position is 0, not 1

[versed wave]

not in LUA

[pulsar cape]

1 is the second position onto the array

by the way

[random fulcrum]

not in lua

[pulsar cape]

you are saving a number 1 on the variable local

or local is a type of caller?

[random fulcrum]

in that case, i can't exist outside the function

oh come on did this guy try to knowledge check without knowing what locals are?

[versed wave]

got it, I need to call xml_obj:findElement({name = 'snd_config'}, results[i]) which is... a strange way to do it

[pulsar cape]

i know that he is trying to call a variable because if you read the code makes sense that he is trying to find a value and if the value is not found to attach it and return the result, it doesnt require a genius to understand code syntax

[pulsar cape]

anyone here knows how to edit and calculate the position of hud items?

[random fulcrum]

hud sections

like, [wpn_gauss_hud]

[agile glade]

Hey GET GOOD in that Winnie mod you shared a while back; where are you pulling the audio from? Like I see that it says its from the type 63 but im not sure where those files are actually located that it is pointing to

Do you know the full tree by chance?

[random fulcrum]

uhhh it's the same section for the type63 audio from jsrs

and it looks like from the new dark signal audio too

check maybe weapon_sounds.ltx or the files included in it

i just copypasted the whole section to add the lever sound thing

[agile glade]

Ya I basically just want to point it away from the type 63

[random fulcrum]

which, yes i know, it's dumb and i could have done it through inheritance

[agile glade]

For reasons

And am unsure how to do that

Because noob

[random fulcrum]

ah just change the portion that isn't the lever sound

to another gun's sound

i don't even know which layer i slapped it onto

[agile glade]

Yee I see that all

Just dont know where the other gun sounds are

Lol

[random fulcrum]

check the file structure for jsrs

weapon_sounds.ltx

[agile glade]

Aight that's just a mod right

[random fulcrum]

it was the old gun audio mod gamma used

now it's dark signal something something

maybe idk

haven't really updated gamma in a while

[agile glade]

Cool thanks

I appreciate it

We made a 45-70 variety and I wanna slap on some chunky audio

[pulsar cape]

im not talking about weapons @random fulcrum im talking about the hud itself like the BHS system

to be more specific im talking about the ui

[fathom wagon]

It is not worth the trouble. The weight decrease idea is cool, but very flawed for Slav jank. They would've been better off making it a small mobile stash rather than trying to dynamically decrease weight in a really bad way.

You end up becoming heavier than you would if you just had all the items not in your bag due to coding logic and X-Ray engine

[charred dragon]

Yeah, I am definitely falling into that trap now 😔

[agile glade]

Hey so on some guns when you shoot there is a screen blur and shake. What is the value one needs to add/modify if they wanted to stick those effects on another weapon

just editing the cam _ stuff does not seem do do it

which makes sense

[charred dragon]

Sorry to ping you again @fathom wagon

Any chance you know the best way to remove the DLTX Ultimate Backpacks mod from my save?

Or is it a case of needing to start a new game to safely remove it?

[pure owl]

is there a mod where we can see replacement parts conditions with a bigger font ?

[red crescent]

#🖇old-mods-posting message

the script should go in /gamedata/scripts

[pure owl]

thank you! saving eyes

[nimble mango]

Couldn't think of a better place to ask this, but anyone know if I can get acess to the guns models of the game and maybe open them on blender for example?

[red crescent]

yes you can
