[past barn]

They just placed it at the beginning of it

Wait, they did use a custom file: ui_actor_pda_icons.xml which doesn't exist in vanilla Nvm it does exist

[past barn]

One of Bart's minimap mods does actually have a custom texture and description file for it. I'll investigate

[river sun]

Can someone tell me how to remove the alternate aim mode (pressing v) from this weapon? It's bugged and serves no purpose

[grizzled gorge]

use_alt_aim_hud = true to false should work

[river sun]

Appreciate it

[vernal cypress]

super nice, just need ODing effect now

[hoary jolt]

anyone using "ITHACA M37" mod?

[radiant nexus]

Can anyone tell if i simply could drop some audio files here withouth editing any scripts?

Like in arma for example i would be needed to tell the game to handle those new voice files - while other games follow a simple drop principe

[opal frigate]

Is there a way to replace all the radio songs? Coz anomaly music playlist sucks

[radiant nexus]

@opal frigate should be fairly easy and safe to do so. (i wont promise tho). Find the mod 5- Anomaly Radio Extended mod - open in explorer. Go here: 5- Anomaly Radio Extended - DesmanMetzger\gamedata\sounds\anomaly_radio_addon

then replace the corresponding files. You will need to convert your new files to .ogg tho as well as having the EXACT same naming

for converting i can recommend: https://convertio.co/de/mp4-ogg/

i think i will now add some cheecky breeky industrial techno to the radio 😄

[past barn]

Why does textures randomly pick up colors they shouldn't? Like this one is black and white but on the right side, the layer's preview shows a green stroke around

And if I view the texture in MO2 preview, it's also green

And it shows up green ingame too. What the fuck is this?

And if I pick DXT5 as I'm apparently supposed to, random white pixels become green as well

[undone lily]

Dds compression

[past barn]

Excellent. There's nothing I can do about it right?

[undone lily]

Save uncompressed

B8G8 blabla

[past barn]

Uhm which one? XD

[undone lily]

A8B8

[past barn]

There's no such option here? Sorry if I'm not knowledgeable but I don't see "A8B8" here

[vernal epoch]

5th from the top in your picture

[past barn]

Alright. Is that compatible with various DirectX modes? Because when I originally created an inventory mod, someone who was running the game in DX8 got a flat black image rather than the actual texture. Is that a thing with this compression as well?

[lunar nimbus]

its most likely coz dds isnt 2^x size, dx8 doesnt like those

[past barn]

This particular texture was 4096x2048 px so that shouldn't be the case I think

[modern zephyr]

Can confirm. Half of the icons added by mods display incorrectly on DX8 for me

[past barn]

Originally I saved it as 🔵 (I don't remember which one exactly) and after someone reported the issue I saved it as 🔴 which solved it for them. So I assume the "DX 10+" in their name correlates to DirectX version, but I have no clue to be honest

[past barn]

This works btw, thanks

[undone lily]

No it doesn’t

[lunar nimbus]

try 4096x4096

[past barn]

Hm. Shouldn't then the default texture not work either? This mod was a slight change to the inventory's skin, kept the image size as it was in vanilla GAMMA. Here's the report of the issue after he installed my mod:
#1071785497002770592 message

[past barn]

And re-saving the texture as what I described here ⬆️ solved it for him and I didn't change anything else

[undone lily]

No as long are both are power of 2 it’s good

Like 1024x128 is fine

[lunar nimbus]

🤷‍♂️ then

[violet ridge]

I'm trying to understand how weapon attachments work. Tried looking at game files/BaS but not sure I am looking at the right places. Any recommendations where I could find more info ? Or what would be the best mod to look at in order to learn from it ?

[final finch]

Greetings, does anyone can help with the workflow to edit existing anim? In this case I want to edit the position of the hand when reloading mag.

[hoary jolt]

guys where do i find weapon files

[undone lily]

What do you want to do?

[violet ridge]

while I'd like to learn the entire thing to know what I can and cannot do, my main goal at this time would be to make an attachment item of sorts that would act as Auto Sear for Glocks (ie allows them to switch to full auto and change RPM of the gun)

I'd imagine it would be "easier" to make such and item and make compat patches for it than mess with N-many individual glock mods out there and their respective upgrade trees

Assuming it is feasible

[hoary jolt]

where can i find ak47 weapon file grok?

[violet ridge]

I wouldn't want to mess with 3d models of the guns themselves (to needlessly add into the model variants scopes bring to the table either, just "status" icon above the gun that auto sear attachment is, well, attached)

[undone lily]

so basically like BAS upgrade kits ?

[violet ridge]

to my understanding it makes an entire seperate variant of the gun (?) which would add to weapon bloat ?

[undone lily]

you don't have other choices

[violet ridge]

I see

I shall look into those then, thank you

[undone lily]

otherwise attachment is limited to silencer, scope and GL

[violet ridge]

thanks for pointing me in a direction, I shall now go and dig at it

[vale knot]

pistol ubgl

[hoary jolt]

grok where can i find ak47 file?

[random fulcrum]

w_ak

[vale knot]

go to your gamma folder/mods and just type in like

w_akm

itll give you the ltx files for all the ak's

[random fulcrum]

akm is not the ak47

[hoary jolt]

ohh ok

[hoary jolt]

yeah

[vale knot]

does the ak47 even spawn

[random fulcrum]

no

[vale knot]

so i just assumed they meant akm

[hoary jolt]

i got it

[hoary jolt]

yeah it seams it drops

[latent path]

Is it possible to make outfits auto equip when respawning in azazel

[violet ridge]

I've tried to follow how BaS makes Upgrade Kits and I can't seem to get stuff to work
neither I have the upgrade kit appear in debug nor the weapon it should be "generating"
on the plus side I am not causing the game to crash

anyone willing to take a look and tell me how much of an idiot I am ?

EDIT: File removed for now, I am an idiot

Will appreciate, cause I've been at it for hours now

[fierce star]

Not sure if right channel but.. Does anyone know about any mod that'd allow you to craft hand grenades?

Didn't see anything in mod-posting. Google also can't find anything.

[steady apex]

will molotovs suffice?

[fierce star]

Nope, has to be F1 or RGD5, I just love hand nades.

I've found mod "G.A.M.M.A Arti Recipes Overhaul", there's a file with all craft recipes, which even says it's possible to add new crafting items.

The thing is, values for some items in this file are different than ones used in game.

Btw. I don't know much about modding, just dabbled into programing at some point back in time.

Anyway, I figured that it should look kinda like this:

grenade_rgd5 = 5, recipe_ammo_0, prt_i_scrap,35,powder_2,40,powder_3,40

since ied one is: ied = 5, recipe_ammo_0, ammo_vog-25,2,grenade_f1,1,prt_i_scrap,2, I guess 5 is item needed to craft it (ammo toolbox), next part would put it in right category and then we have parts... but I have no clue why it doesn't work 😂

I thougth that maybe I got parts names wrong, so tried to copy recipe for ied to just check if it works. It doesn't :/

Maybe @maiden dune himself can help, hope he won't mind pinging 😛

[grizzled gorge]

a "box" of powder is 15, so if you want let say 45 you need to write 3

[fierce star]

I see. But it still didn't add a new recipe when I tried to just copy IED one.

Unless I need to make changes somewhere else as well, but that'd probably be mentioned in this file.

[grizzled gorge]

can u send the zip ?

[fierce star]

Whole mod ZIP or just the craft.ltx?

[grizzled gorge]

the zip yeah

[grizzled gorge]

give me a sec

[fierce star]

No worries 🙂

[grizzled gorge]

install it and edit the file inside. It will add the craft to the category. It can be replaced with any other dltx mod that adds the same recipe. Priority on dltx mods is determined alphabetically by file name and not in mo2

[fierce star]

Thank you kind sir! 😄

[undone lily]

iirc the gamma artefacts reinvention craft ltx is the one that takes over the priority

[undone lily]

Don’t ping modders for such a trivial issue…..

Always check the files you want to change on the right panel in MO2 instead of going in each individual mod

Otherwise yes, dltx as Nox pointed out

[fierce star]

Well, next time I won't.. Idk much about modding nor coding. Some things just seemed logical at first.

[fierce star]

Btw is 4 a max value for all powders?

[maiden dune]

ied recipe for the remote ied stuff is defined elsewhere, through workshop autoinject

[maiden dune]

generally i try to keep it this way, but it's not hard and fast rule

we're allowing crafting grenades with the powders? not a bad idea tbh, pipe bomb type explosives

[fierce star]

Ah, I see. And sorry for pinging. I thought it might be nice to be able to craft them, but didn't want to make it too easy so tried higher values, but anything over 4 still shows up as only 60 powder needed.

"Pipe bomb type explosives".. well, that sounds actually really good, but would need bit more work I guess.. 3d models and animations probably. And I have no clue how to do either of those things 😂

Could be good use for all of those half broken barrels in my stash. But imho it should require more powder so it won't be that easy to to just spam enemies with homemade nades.

[daring mauve]

Detailed Description 0.3 isnt showing me info such as "Damage Resistance bonus" and a some other properties of meds like that. I tried asking the mod author on moddb, but he directed me here, told me to ask people on Discord.
What could this mod conflict with? I checked on MO2 but there are no conflicts.

[undone lily]

It needs proper integration with gamma to work

Which I haven’t time for currently

[daring mauve]

Ok thanks for the response, I guess I will use it like this for now. Cheers

[undone lily]

Imo gamma text is detailed enough

And next patch with fix the obvious issues like rads res display and chem res display for drugs

[rocky echo]

Im looking/ trying to make a mod that makes side quests more local, like in shadow of chernobyl. almost all quests are in the area where you got them from.

does that exist?

[lunar nimbus]

they are already? dont know about gamma, in vanilla quests u get are mostly for same or adjacent locations

[bold mural]

eeeeh

depends on the task

but no, afaik there's no mod that does that

[ivory temple]

how can i get the weapon name in my hands using debug mode

the raptr shotgun doesnt have a magazine from mag redux so im quickly making one rn

[grizzled gorge]

Natively in hands idk but you can drop the gun on the floor and aim at it then open debug menu and press F. Draggable hud also provides the info when you open the editor

[ivory temple]

this works ty

[grizzled gorge]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1075947373508964373

[ivory temple]

good shit!

ty

this shouldnt screw with the save cus its the same mod just added mags

[vale knot]

The mod is a-ok to use mid save

[past barn]

What file controls the message colors that pop up on the left side of the screen about stalker chat, emission warnings etc?

I want to change them because lots of text became unreadable with a winter mod

[vague knoll]

so about DLTX, what happens if you append (![gun_ofdeath]) specific changes/variables that are already changed by another mod, it just takes priority and ignore the lower prio mod's changes (but not the file, only the specific variables that you changed), right? that's the gist of it?

[violet ridge]

i happened to ask something in that vein this morning

overrides go alphabetically by file name

that's why some places recommend to after

mod_system add several ZZZZ's to the filename to ensure your change sticks

unless someone also is doing that, which then.... good luck

[river sun]

https://i.imgur.com/RcqyCdS.png
Is there a way to modify aim_hud_offset values in game? Maybe thru console? Or is making guesses & continually rebooting the game the only way to fix this misaligned scope lol

[violet ridge]

in debug mode you can adjust offsets on the go, and note down the values you need to put in the config

don't ask me how tho, messing with 3d stuff is way beyond my paygrade

[river sun]

Good to know, ty

[vale knot]

Use draggable hud editor

It on moddb

Got explanations how to use it in its description

[river sun]

Awesome, I will do so.

[vale knot]

Its much more intuitive than fucking typing in numbers in increments lol

[radiant nexus]

would anyone happen to know if there is a guide on how to add new voice lines to several faction / pawnkinds? Like not only replace them, but have them use a wider variety?

[vale knot]

I never went to find those files tbh

I know at least where the voice lines are stored

Sounds/character_voice/human something

[radiant nexus]

Yep, thats where i am - yet no file which tells the game where those files are ^^

[vale knot]

Yeah thats gonna be in scripts somewhere. No idea where tho

I never touched that part of the game

[radiant nexus]

Ok, thanks for your answer - then i will leave it be i guess, as i can mess with simple config files - but not with scripts ^^

[violet ridge]

there are a couple voice packs/replacers for Mercs on moddb, maybe see there first if they just replace the lines or actually add more

[radiant nexus]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/add-mercenarys-voice

this one claims it adds new voice lines (atleast i see a killer_2 - which vanilla files doenst have.) That would atleast mean its possible to add voice actors per faction. Same with the Gamma included mod: Better Merc lines.

But concerning the quantity of voice lines per voice actor i cant seem to find a mod (atleast without downloading 20 mods^^)

[river sun]

https://streamable.com/nf74oe
Any ideas on how to make the ash12 rmr dot just stay on the crosshair? Even if I position it correctly, there's still this weird sway/breathing animation that makes it dance around instead of staying on point. The veresk's red dot at the beginning of the clip is an example of what I'm going for

[radiant nexus]

would you happen to know, which factions those are: build1+Build3; dolg1+dolg3;greh1+greh3 ?

[steady apex]

The dot is drawn on the texture

Find the ash12 gun texture and remove the dot

[vale knot]

dolg is duty and greh is sin

dunno about build

killer is mercs

vanilla anomaly red dots my beloathed

[radiant nexus]

allright, thanks!

[radiant nexus]

might be the renegades, as they are currently missing in my list ^^

[vale knot]

renegades use same lines as bandits

so prolly not

[radiant nexus]

Ah ok, make sense as a subfaction

[river sun]

Having difficulty locating the texture. Checked all the dds files I could find related to the ash and didn't see it. The rmr is part of the S.U.P upgrade kit btw. Any advice on where else I should look?

[steady apex]

Sorry can't help with that

[river sun]

Ok np

[undone lily]

Must be shaders parameters of the sight

[gilded viper]

Hi I have a question saw EFP has Honey badger but i cant really find mod for it can someone help?

[fair canopy]

They have their own weapon pack

[gilded viper]

[analog kettle]

hey, you guys know where the item stats are?

I'm trying to make a mod that edits the effects of some items and consumables and I can't find what file it is even after unpacking

[lunar nimbus]

items/items_something.ltx?

[analog kettle]

yeah found it

[analog kettle]

god i wish I had the stamina for modding lol

[analog kettle]

MADE MY SECOND MOD

💀

[violet ridge]

👍

[analog kettle]

anyone have any idea how to make the MP7 accept 4.6 again>

[violet ridge]

I believe you'd need to make that ammo to begin with, not sure if anyone made it for GAMMA before and then it was reverted to 5,7mm. In Vanilla Anomaly I believe it's in 9x19 or so someone said when "complained" to me that my extended MP5 mags are not medium slot like MP7's while being same caliber

[analog kettle]

it's already in GAMMA

just unused

[violet ridge]

then you just need to DLTX MP7 config to make it use that ammo again

[analog kettle]

where is the MP7 config and how would I make it work with MAGS

[regal bolt]

just DLTX-ing the MP7 to 4.6mm would make the gun use the proper ammo, but then you run into the issue of nobody selling or dropping the ammo
and I have no idea how to change the mags to 4.6mm

[analog kettle]

I can edit the trader and drop files as well, it'd be possible I just need to know where to get started ^^

[violet ridge]

Magwell and mag definitions you'll find in MagsRedux mod folder, but best to DLTX it anyhow in case any of mods after it redefine it to 5,7

so your changes stay on top

[analog kettle]

gotcha

still dont know where the mp7 config is

[violet ridge]

if it's vanilla weapon, then it's gonna be in Anomaly DB files and you will need to unpack these

(preferably not into your active Anomaly installation folder)

[undone lily]

what's the point of making a 4.6 gun when 5.7 has the same stats IRL anyways more or less, it just increases inventory bloat

[analog kettle]

I like item bloat

also, I just want to.

[analog kettle]

i did unpack the DB folder and open the MP7 config but I couldn't find anything relating to 5.7 or 4.6 so I assume grok did something and it's one of the mods in GAMMA

[violet ridge]

I'd say you are better off just DLTXing ammo yourself into the config

you have ammo names from debug

you don't need anything else to make it 4,6mm methinks

you could also change effects so it ejects 5,7mm shell casings but that's secondary thing to worry about

[analog kettle]

how do I DLTX ammo into the config lmao

[violet ridge]

in MP7 config, you have a line about ammo, yes ?

you do know what DLTXing means, right ?

[analog kettle]

i do not

and also the line about ammo references 9x19

not 5.7 as it is in game

so that file is not the one being read

OOH WAIT

It doesn't matter if I just make a new mod and put it at the bottom of the load order

lol

[violet ridge]

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

to quickly show you, copy me first line of MP7 config

and the line about ammo

basically it goes like this

![item name]
variable = the value you want the variable to have instead of whatever

then you put it in your mod folders gamedata/configs and in there you make a file mod_system_whatever.ltx where you put the code

if it is a personal mod and you absolutely wanna changes to stick no matter what, you can name it
mod_system_ZZZZ_whatever.ltx
as those files are read alphabetically

and ZZZZ ensures your file will be read dead last and your changes will come up on top

(ignore the lines about installation in the Anomaly modding book, GAMMA already comes with basic DLTX functions, and we don't need the latest ones that require installing of modded exes)

[regal bolt]

if it helps, here's a simple guide I made for armor and weapon editing via DLTX
it includes what 0Buggy just said, with more words and examples
same logic applies to every variable weapons, armor, and meds have

[random fulcrum]

change the ammo type to 4.6?

[young solstice]

Hey guys, could anybody help me? I know these mods work fine with gamma, but for me they don't work at all and I have no idea why

[violet ridge]

dismemberment
I think that requires modded exes

but don't quote me on that

[latent path]

the fuck is an object file

i just wanna get this thing viewable in blender

ogf to object worked but ogf to smd failed with this error

using axr tools

[cyan oxide]

hello

im not developer or something but i just wanted make new mag for Desert eagle 50 cal

but im stuck on somewhere

anyone can help me with that?

[violet ridge]

MagsRedux has a good HowTo within the mod folder

have you checked that first ?

but you can drop your issue in meantime

[cyan oxide]

i did

[violet ridge]

there are a few MagsRedux knowhow-able ppl here

[cyan oxide]

but problem is changing chamber

Desert Eagle Damphyr

has chamber upgrade

its making Deagle to 50 cal

but only 1 shot

i managed to raise its bullets

[sour ibex]

is there an easy way to add new music to the game?

[cyan oxide]

but without mags

[violet ridge]

I'd wager it does not have mags defined for the rechamber ?

or even a magwell

[cyan oxide]

it dont has mags

normal deagle has 357 mag

lets talk about other gun

if you rechamber other pistol

[violet ridge]

look how Glock/MP5 handles rechambering and mags, its in their mag configs

[cyan oxide]

for exmp

9x19 to 9x18

you can retool its mags

[violet ridge]

the something_group it's called

[cyan oxide]

but deagle wont retool

im searching

but another problem is

i dont want use 12.7x55

i see .50 BMG on ammo page while i searching in dev mode

im trying to build with that

i got their base names like ammo_50_bmg, ammo_50_bmg_bad

problem is this thing

92f_9x19 92f_9x18

[violet ridge]

my brother in christ, .50 BMG is an anti material rifle caliber

[cyan oxide]

i know

im trying to convert that to .50 AE

because i tried my sandbox charcter

and no rifle in game use that ammo

[analog kettle]

.50 BMG isn't used by any weapons. it's only in the debug menu

to reduce item bloat

[latent path]

https://github.com/PavelBlend/blender-xray

functional if anyone wants it

[violet ridge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFn8c3qY-2I

[cyan oxide]

yep its looks like kind a im trying that 😄

[analog kettle]

bruh the 50 BMG stats are busted af btw

[violet ridge]

I'll get back to you in an hour or two on that if someone else won't

[cyan oxide]

also marines has got foto that trys put bmg to deagle

[analog kettle]

1.5 damage multiplier
BR7+ penetration

[cyan oxide]

and try to kill poor zombie

[latent path]

Relatable

[vale knot]

i know this was asked before but i cant find the discussion about it but could i fix the barska sight red dot on some guns disappearing after you look too far in one direction?

like if I aim around quickly the red dot vanishes before it goes past the edge of the barska's glass

[violet ridge]

you need to DLTX-fi the caliber into respective file for deagle you want to edit (this file is from MagsRedux mod)

retool_group tells the game that you can retool a given mag into different caliber

a given mag and it's caliber changed counterpart need to belong to the same group for it to work

base_type tells the game what caliber it's for

if you need more ready examples of mags and their rechambers I suggest looking at Shine+Awry's mags fixes
https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1075947373508964373

[cyan oxide]

thx for help but im still dont geet it

[violet ridge]

which part

[cyan oxide]

whole

lets start from first

i changed my plan

i want use 12.7x55

x99 will be later on progress

the weapon i want to retool is [wpn_desert_eagle_nimble]

i think this part

making that weapon shown as standart weapon

right?

[violet ridge]

no, it means it's inheriting values from wpn_desert_eagle

[cyan oxide]

okey

so we have to change anything part on this section?

[violet ridge]

i have no clue what you are looking at, whether the weapon or mag config

[cyan oxide]

like adding something that weapon wil use 50 cal after upgrade

[cyan oxide]

making new mag

retooling 357 deagle mag to 12.7

[violet ridge]

does not answer my question. I have no clue what config you are looking at exactly, but I presume the weapon configs

[cyan oxide]

i already did that

[violet ridge]

adding weapon caliber change is a black magic bullshit, cause you need to modify upgrade trees

[cyan oxide]

weapon has lowers ammo

[violet ridge]

that is not kind of knowledge I posses at this time

you would be best off just making a new weapon in the intended calibre

[cyan oxide]

no

i mean

deagle can rechanbered to 12.7

but it lowers mag ammo

just 1 bullet

so i changed weapon config

to maked it 7 ammo

but

i want use it with mags

but standart deagle mags are for 357

and its not retooling

i want to add retool function and make it 12.7 with 7 bullet

[violet ridge]

because deagle has no mags defined for 12,7, ot at least does not appear to

if you want the easy way, I recommend reporting that "omission" in Shine and Awry's mag fixes thread

if you want to learn yourself, I can try to help you

[cyan oxide]

thx

so

this part take my attention

i think i littlerly get it

[violet ridge]

it's irrelevant, it definies a custom variant of mp5 of sorts

one thing at a time

first, you need to define "a magwell" for the 12,7 deagle

in MagsRedux, check gamedata\configs\magazines\basetypes\base_127x55.ltx

just copy the whole caliber = line

in your own mod, create a folder at respective location

[violet ridge]

gamedata\configs\magazines\basetypes\ and the filename for the ltx needs to start with base_ ... .ltx

[cyan oxide]

so we dont touch orginal files right?

[violet ridge]

don't edit the original gamefiles/modfiles

[cyan oxide]

okey

[violet ridge]

yes, it's best practice not to for a number of reasons

[cyan oxide]

base_50ae.ltx

[de_127]
caliber = ammo_12.7x55_fmj, ammo_12.7x55_fmj_bad, ammo_12.7x55_fmj_verybad, ammo_12.7x55_ap, ammo_12.7x55_ap_bad, ammo_12.7x55_ap_verybad

[violet ridge]

yes

[cyan oxide]

and then?

[violet ridge]

you need to DLTX-fi the ammo_12.7x55_fmj = de_127, unless that line is already there

[cyan oxide]

what is dltx-fi

[wpn_desert_eagle]
default_mag = mag_deserteagal_default
;base_type
ammo_357_hp_mag = de_357
ammo_12.7x55_fmj = de_127

?

[violet ridge]

it's a method to tell the game to grab your variable and it's value instead of whatever else someone else defined elsewhere

it's a non invasive method to patch and otherwise alter things

is the ammo_12.7x55_fmj = de_127 line in the original file or is that your edit ?

[cyan oxide]

my edit

so

i have to create new one

or edit the orginal one?

[violet ridge]

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

read from that point down until you reach Norppa's tutorial file, and read that file too

it should explain the general concept of DLTX-ing

[cyan oxide]

mt head about explode

[violet ridge]

welcome to modding

[cyan oxide]

i did it on before

on other games but not making from beggining

just editing

started from gmod

editing lua

my last projct was hardware f16 hud for war thunder before modern jets came

[violet ridge]

I mean, we are just editing stuff MagsRedux team did and their own brand of black magic that got the mod working
we are just using functions they defined to make our own mags

[cyan oxide]

i have to say

they did their best

and i feel rat my self to try get in that boat

and let get in some much more weird stuff

i created new ltx

and

maked this one

[violet ridge]

no, this way you are defining a new seperate set of mags

you need to use DLTX to insert the line/variable you want

I'm not sure if that will work tho

hmmm

[fair canopy]

Dltx is fucky with mags. Also use notepad++

[violet ridge]

yeah, that's what I was concerned about as Mags scripts may depend on file location

yeah, let's do the ugly way around, just to be sure

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/967696698065436682/1079836057006247998/image.png

copy this file to your mod (the one where these values are defined)

and place it in respective location to where the original file for MagsRedux is

and there in that copy of the file, place the line ammo_12.7x55_fmj = de_127

this setup will be "overwriting" the original file from MagsRedux if you place your mod lower in the load order

[cyan oxide]

it didnt worket

also

[vale knot]

wait what are u trying to do

[violet ridge]

we didn't even get to define the new mag yet

[vale knot]

add 12.7 deagle mags?

[violet ridge]

deagle rechamber doesn't have a mag apparently

[cyan oxide]

making retoolable 357 mag to 12.7

[vale knot]

bear made a mod for that

[cyan oxide]

https://tenor.com/view/jacksparrow-jack-sparrow-oh-pirates-gif-25968853

[violet ridge]

well, at least some mod learning has been had

I hope

[vale knot]

LOL

[cyan oxide]

a lot

[vale knot]

yeah learning is good

#1074681762644504686 message

[cyan oxide]

can i have that mod

[vale knot]

heres the mod btw

id recommend me and awry's mag fixes too (not shilling)

[cyan oxide]

lets check what we went wrong way

first my mistake

[de_50];alt

[violet ridge]

we didn't define the new mags yet

[cyan oxide]

didnt make that apply that mag is alt mag

[wpn_desert_eagle_nimble]
default_mag = mag_deserteagal_default
;base_type
ammo_357_hp_mag = de_357
;base_type after rechamber upgrade
ammo_12.7x55_fmj = de_50

we didnt put some details too

[haughty egret]

hey, can anyone tell me where and how I access the LTX files for weapons?

[cyan oxide]

and my other mistakes

didnt put alt

and make good details

and last and most of my errors in right bottom

i didnt writed default just wrote de_357

[vale knot]

bothers me that the desert eagle doesnt have seperation in the ID

[cyan oxide]

anyway

thx for help

[violet ridge]

👍

[cyan oxide]

maybe later

ill try make .50 Ar 15

with this

[haughty egret]

hey, can anyone tell me where and how I access the LTX files for weapons?

[violet ridge]

depends

vanilla ones or mod ones ?

vanilla anomaly weapons are located within the db files

[vale knot]

ltx files are all over the place if you factor in the mod ones

[violet ridge]

you need to unpack them elsewhere first

[haughty egret]

I believe most of the stuff in gamma comes from bas

[violet ridge]

(preferably not into middle of your anomaly installation)

[haughty egret]

right now I want to add the AC10632 scope to the P90

[vale knot]

i just keep anomaly unpacked on a seperate drive for reference purposes

oh that requires modeling

[violet ridge]

go into debug, BAS weapons usually have bas_whatever in their weapon variable

[haughty egret]

later one I'll want to change animation on some weapons to not have to deal with delay

[violet ridge]

yeah, that's some big boy pants stuff

[vale knot]

both require blender or sumn

someone DID make a fix to remove the stock unfold for the 105 and aksu but i cant find it

[haughty egret]

and for the hera as well I believe

[violet ridge]

I'd recommend going to anomaly discord and asking there, after familiarizing yourself with Anomaly modding book
https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/

[vale knot]

i spent 3 hours adding tritium to a single pistol

[violet ridge]

there's stuff missing but it's a start

[vale knot]

blender is a nightmare first time tbh

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1079540045679185950/1079657621658812467/image-146.png?width=690&height=682

but i had fun.. i think

[haughty egret]

right but that's different

it should just be a case of telling it in the ltx file that it also accepts X attachment

the P90 used to have it

grok changed what it could take at some point recently

so i imagine I just need to re-enable it

[cyan oxide]

also

[violet ridge]

then it's just a matter of defining it again in your own DLTX I imagine

[cyan oxide]

there is any posibilty to add

or make new gun?

[vale knot]

was the p90 ever modeled with the ac1063

[haughty egret]

yes

[haughty egret]

I used to have it with that prior to grok having changed what things the P90 could have

[vale knot]

ooooh okay

[cyan oxide]

if i found model

[violet ridge]

copy pasting a new gun with same model ? easy enough

make completely new one ? you need to learn a lot of stuff, but yes

[cyan oxide]

i mean

in internet there is lot of free weapon models

[violet ridge]

best then look into BaS files, it should still have all the original configs somewhere

[vale knot]

dltx is the way because of how many ltx files are all over the place

wait p90 is bas?

[violet ridge]

errr

derp

[vale knot]

i thought it was vanilla anomaly model

[violet ridge]

or original vanilla

[haughty egret]

interesting, look at this in the P90 config file

[violet ridge]

I don't remember but my brain went straight to BaS for some reason

[haughty egret]

supposedly it should allow for it

hum, let me launch the game again

[violet ridge]

it's not the issue with that
the issue lies in importing it into Stalker eco system first, and then all the animations and particles and whatnot

[vale knot]

wait can the p90 in game take the pistol BAS scopes?

[violet ridge]

it's a steep hill, but possible

[vale knot]

@haughty egret can you screencap the scopes the p90 accepts

[haughty egret]

sure, give me a moment, it's more than those 3. those were the ones you could before grok

[vale knot]

cus i found a file saying the p90 has a laser and takes pistol sights

[cyan oxide]

https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/bg-96-mk3-bergmann-1896-mk3-4bbd4ac54d434e84b20db513e1095074

that gun

can add able to game?

[vale knot]

Okay so i think grok or someone completely changed p90

Cus in vanilla it had very different sights and no laser

But its same model

[haughty egret]

I see

there is 2 entries and the game is using the second entry

which means if I manually add it to the second, copy the settings with position and stuff into it as well

it should work right?

let's find out

[vale knot]

If it were to work youll lose the laser or something might break with it

Idk how BAS lasers work at all so i cant predict

[haughty egret]

one way to find out

[vale knot]

cus in theory it should just use the vanilla anomaly model

but idk lol

[haughty egret]

alright, let's give it a go

[violet ridge]

there is a lot to be learned before you may introduce it into the game, but it is possible, yes

[vale knot]

honestly i wanted to try taking on adding BAS scopes to vanilla guns but it truly is an insurmountable task

[haughty egret]

nope, doesn't works, game crashes

[vale knot]

im gonna boot up normal anomaly and make sure the model is actually the same

oh yeah no its a different gun me thinks

[haughty egret]

sigh

[vale knot]

so heres my theory, BAS has a new p90 that replaces the og games one

same thing with the five seven

[haughty egret]

both are under modpack addons

but one is under P90onehanded

the other is under weapon pack

[cyan oxide]

so what i have to do

[vale knot]

yeah gamma's file structure is kinda all over the place

[haughty egret]

but in any cause, it doesn't looks like the P90 is base in any case

[vale knot]

but unless you wanted to replace the p90 with its vanilla counterpart

[haughty egret]

it's just that there was 1 from somewhere

[vale knot]

no way to do it without modeling

[haughty egret]

and grok disabled that one and added a new one

[vale knot]

and i assure you the vanilla one is not pretty

[violet ridge]

sorry but I sure as heck am not the one capable to teach you about modding in a new model into the game

there are some resources out there, learn, ask more knowledgable folks to help you along

[haughty egret]

yeah I wouldn't go to that extreme either

[cyan oxide]

i will

thx

[haughty egret]

this is more of something that I'd probably ask to someone who already knows how to do it to make the AC10632 available again (as the god emeperor intended!)

sorry, neded to be clear on that

[vale knot]

i dont see it in the BAS moddb page so i assume grok crocked up newer p90 that uses BAS stuff

and disabling BAS stuff is a minefield

i added a mod that brings back the pretty pistols pack five seven but it only works on a new save

and you cant disable it

cus BAS

[violet ridge]

http://sdk.stalker-game.com/en/index.php?title=Weapon_editing
http://sdk.stalker-game.com/en/index.php?title=Weapon_import
those are tutorials for original games, some of that might still be relevant but it's mostly to give you some idea how much skill and work you gonna need to succesfully do so

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

this is a more modern Anomaly modding resource, but beware a lot of the stuff is not complete there yet

Anomaly discord has an art modding related channel, which may give you better directions where to best get started in Anno Domini 2023

[analog kettle]

it's genuinely insane

[violet ridge]

it's mostly due to it's nature being composed of couple hundred mods that are out there and downloaded from original sources

only way to have all stuff neatly sorted out would be to have one file to download, but it would understandably require everyone's permissions and whatnot

[analog kettle]

I have no idea how modders work with this

[violet ridge]

and that's a quite a swamp of legal and whatnot issues that best one not enters

[analog kettle]

i guess but just basic file organization is not too much to ask imho

[violet ridge]

cause you are dealing with hundred of mods, there can't be sorting as dozens of mods all modify the same files "virtually"

you can't just put them all in one file cause that defeats the whole point of downloading people's works from their original sources online

honestly, it would be a titanic effort on level for example, of the Black Mesa going from mod to retail release

any item of work anyone has ever done for the mod, you need to contact them and get their permission/pay them for their work
or replace with brand new asset you have all the right to use

otherwise you are opening yourself to being sued

[analog kettle]

I understand that he can't just recompile everything into one file, but there's many original code edits labeled GAMMA (something)

and there's a comical level of disorganization there

Like even the names aren't consistent in MO3

You're trying to find GAMMA (something) but it's called G.A.M.M.A with the full stops

[past barn]

I'm trying to mod the body-health system panel and there's 1 element I can not find: the radiation poisoning status bar (which is above stamina). Everything else is in ui_body_health_system3.dds, the psy status bar is in ui_actor_hint_wnd.dds but I can't find the rad's location. Does anyone know?

[tropic badge]

THat's via SidHUD isn't it?

[analog kettle]

that's not in BHS, that's SidHUD

[tropic badge]

At least the display on screen is.

[analog kettle]

If I wanted to make an item do psy damage could I just take the stat for increasing psy protection and make it a -?

[past barn]

Yeah there you go, it's BarRAD.dds

Ty

[analog kettle]

I want to make cocaine do psy damage

[past barn]

Do you know where the radiation bar is declared inside textures_descr? I want to redirect it to use ui_body_health_system3.dds instead

I've been looking through the BHS config files but I can't find the reference name either

What even is sidhud btw? Because I can not find anything other than 1 folder in "GAMMA Minimalist HUD"

I don't even know what to search for
Okay I might have found it. But it seems too time consuming too tinker with it just to redirect it to use a different texture file

[tropic badge]

I think it's a custom UI mod, gamma uses a tiny part of it.

[fierce star]

Is there any way to check default armor (values) for recruitable NPC stalkers, per rank? I really want to use DNPCAV, but I think it started to crash my game after few days of working fine. Just curious how much of a difference does it make.

[past barn]

Yep it is. I found it shortly after complaining about it lol

[past barn]

Oh boy 👀

[woven mountain]

I am recruiting writers and translators for my mod (Chatty Companions https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1072006633644896308). Please let me know if you are interested.

[violet ridge]

what languages do you need ?

[woven mountain]

I need russian but I'd also like to make the mod available in more languages

What can you speak?

[violet ridge]

English, Polish

I have other mod committments at this time, but when my schedule clears up I'll do my best to get back to you

(if you will need)

[hallow geyser]

I WANT THIS NOW OMG

I am a whore for fancy UI

[pulsar cape]

you edited that by yourself?

[vivid wraith]

Does anyone know how to port EFP weapons pack for GAMMA? Wasn't sure where I should be asking that except here >>;

[ivory moth]

Is there a mod that adds the GM-94 grenade launcher to gamma?

[shut prawn]

I was looking some videos of a.r.e.a. Have his things done as thief way. I really like the way inventory/backpack works (no the irradiation spread, they open backpack like a stash so you have and small inventory and a movable stash) exists something similar for anomaly? Looking the ammo crate mod sound be difficult emulate that, I'm I right?

[shut prawn]

We need a mod like chemical addiction, but stead of kill you, make insane, and if you are deep in addiction and don't get anything, you act like with an scar artifact

Also skinning mutants giving you a psy hit would be interesting. But I don't know, spy protection works to block a spy hit or it needs a complete script for do it?

[haughty egret]

does anyone knows where the LTX for the PSUs are?

[vague knoll]

device something

[candid kettle]

Good afternoon, I'm looking for an addon for cyclic quests, namely, do you have such an item in your inventory or not. And it’s not clear whether it’s worth taking the task, whether you have an item or not.

[lunar nimbus]

so whats the addon should be xd

[lunar nimbus]

xd 400kg inventory problems

find tasks_fetch.script then change this function, red is what u need to add

this is only for "if it’s worth taking the task" beforehand

[candid kettle]

Oh thank you very much, it helped

[haughty egret]

thanks

[runic wedge]

I want to start making mods, is there any tutorial or something, to give me a north?

For what ive seen messing with the files, some things are in Lua, right?

Sorry, hello guys, hows things?

[violet ridge]

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

Anomaly Modding book

you'd best also join Anomaly discord and their dedicated modding channels

[runic wedge]

Perfect! Thanks a lot!

[violet ridge]

http://sdk.stalker-game.com/en/index.php?title=Editing_ui_icon_equipment.dds

there's also this modding wiki for original Stalker games

may be outdated in places, but a lot of the stuff still holds merit

best to start small, take a mod that does something similar to what you want, check how it works to gather understanding

don't be afraid to ask fellows for questions, but always remain polite

most folks will try to help, but more in a "teach a man how to fish..." kinda way

[runic wedge]

Yeah, thats basically what ive been doing, changing some values in some files to make make something more attractive to me, like loadouts and traders, basic stuff

[runic wedge]

i honestly prefer that way, im my onpinon

[violet ridge]

the important thing you will want to learn with any kind of Stalker modding is how DLTX-ing stuff works

ie, supplying your own values for variables without messing with original files or files of other mods

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message
read from that point down until you reach Norppa's tutorial file, and read that file too
it should explain the general concept of DLTX-ing

[runic wedge]

Yeah, ive been seeing this a lot

Perfect! You're awesome, man!

[violet ridge]

just trying to pay back unto all the helping hands that been extended my way when I started

[runic wedge]

Thats makes you a good person, this mindset should be default on humans hahaha

[haughty egret]

@vague knoll doesn't seems to have the actual reactor configuration though

[bold mural]

i've DLTX'd a new PDA entry into the notes section but i can't figure how to work in a new image for it, how would i go about that?

i've tried a DLTX using

<file name="ui\guide\encyclopedia__notes_rfpackages">
    <texture id ="encyclopedia__notes_rfpackages" x="0" y="0" width="588" height=250/>
</file>

but well, that didn't work

[violet ridge]

that looks more like xml file to me

[bold mural]

oh

yeah that'd prolly do it

:L

is DXML something that'll work by default? i wanna make my mod vanilla-compatible

it talks about the modded exes repo

[lilac compass]

No you need to get the modded exes from the repo

[bold mural]

hmm

okay

oh, nvm, i'm being silly

[lilac compass]

From what I can tell gamma only comes with DLTX

[bold mural]

nah i just realised i don't need a DLTX

[lilac compass]

dxml is different and you need the modded exes to run both

[bold mural]

oh sorry, what i meant is that i don't need DXML

[lilac compass]

ok that's good I run western goods so I need DXML

[broken galleon]

how do you noclip in debug mode?

[bold mural]

numpad 0

[broken galleon]

thank youu

[vague knoll]

I believe the proto one is the reactor (that's what the debug calls it at least) and depending on what you want to change/look at.. yeah, tho it's all part of the same mod (which adds those psu's) so just look around in there

[haughty egret]

I want to look at it's max power and percetange reduced power usage cause I was told that whomever was messing around with it last patch made the battery PSU shit, like 100 power, no reduction in consumption, it's basically turned the best PSU into the basic bitch PSU and I wanted to revert that

[past barn]

Of course

[past barn]

I might release it once I'm done with some fine running

[vague knoll]

then I believe that's the one you want (those are edited by me when I was trying to fix it, not the original values)

but for some reason, it didn't feel like it was working in game, these could be overridden by some DLTX patch, and good luck finding what is touching that

rather, if it's not those settings then I have no clue where else it could be 🤷‍♂️

on another note, anyone knows how BHS's hud works?

I somehow got this old nav's masks overlay working on gamma (and sadly it wasn't just a matter of changing the .dds files ) but for some reason, the BHS overlay ends up covered by it every time I drink/eat/smoke (and remove/re add the helmet doing so)

and it's the ONLY overlay that does that, as you can see, magsredux and the map are fine

even the psy bar is fine, but BHS I have to press H and re-enable it to make it appear and I don't understand why, using the base/default masks is fine as well, no overlapping, but yep

and those UI xml are an absolute cancer to try to understand 😩

[haughty egret]

guess I'll just disable power consumption then

[vague knoll]

actually, I didn't TEST it but I wonder if this has any power on it

I'm 'guessing' not, that's default gamma settings, but who knows

[haughty egret]

can't be considering the battery reactor used to take 250 power for starters

my guess is

someone tried to fix the bug it had and completly fucked it up

[vague knoll]

chad move ngl

[haughty egret]

I had a bug in one run where my battery wouldn't drain, it would instead go up

[vague knoll]

well if you figure it out, I'd love to hear it too coz I'll want it fixed in my game as well

[haughty egret]

I ended with almost 300/250

yeah no, I don't understand much about it

I was hoping I just had to open a config file

set power to 250 and drain to 20%

and that was that

so I'll just disable power drain, that's about as close as I can get to the desired effect

[chilly bridge]

Does gamma support the hd models mod? If so does anyone know how to install it? (I'm not sure were to ask this question, so I just picked here)

[limpid geyser]

#🔨modded-gamma-support message

Still likely to cause a ton of issues

[chilly bridge]

ok, ill be ok without them. Thank you for the heads up.

[vague knoll]

or wait, maybe it's not the XMLs that decide what's on top or not?

damn, I might have to dig deeper 💤

anyone know what is the recoil effect of gun?

[vague knoll]

it's a bit complicated, it's basically all the cam_ settings altogether

but what you probably want to focus on is cam_dispersion (the 'main' recoil effect) and cam_dispersion_inc (how much extra kick is added after each shot)

and cam_step_angle_horz (same as above but for horizontal recoil)

oh and that's for recoil when hipfiring, the zoom_cam_dispersion is the ADS 'recoil'

if for example zoom_cam_dispersion_inc is missing from the gun file, I believe the normal (hipfire) dispersion_inc is used instead, but I might be wrong 👀

maybe there's just no incremental recoil during ADS then, I haven't tried it to make sure

[regal bolt]

Anyway i can mod back in the Exoskeleton fall damage decreass?

like which files are they associated with?

[vale knot]

Anyone know why the BAS l85s have watery distorted reload sounds? The akmsn had this bug too that was caused by the gun not having its reload sounds not designated in its config. But the l85's do

The sound files themselves sound fine

[undone lily]

Can you guys try this one out ? Increased stalkers move speed

The general idea is to make stalkers harder to easily headshot like it's whack-a-mole

[violet ridge]

any specific place on the load order ?

[undone lily]

bottom. Try fighting stalkers with and without the addon to see if there's any difference from your point of view concerning the fights difficulty

I'm fearing that footsteps speed is screwed compared to actual movespeed of stalker but i'll adjust the animation speed afterwards

[violet ridge]

will do when have a moment

[undone lily]

move speed edits to NPCs is known to generate random crashes as well so gotta be careful

[lunar nimbus]

easier to add dispersion to player, so he wont hit anything

[undone lily]

shit dispersion is very bad imo

[vale knot]

can i use the fomod creation tool for stalker or do i make one manually?

[ornate spade]

you can

[vale knot]

danke

[fathom wagon]

Going to test the Stalker speed as well.

[vale knot]

ill test it if my current ironman falls flat

[raven gorge]

so I don't know if it's the correct channel here or even if I'm allowed to post suggestions, but I couldn't find a more fitting channel...

I recently picked up a Stash location and couldn't find it on the map... so I ran across this mod on ModDB:

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/visible-pda-map-icons-bigger-and-brighter

It makes the PDA icons far more legible and I was finally able to find that stash symbol... unfortunately, it also breaks the status UI. Maybe you could take this into consideration for a future update.

[past barn]

I've messed around with the stash icons because they're awful. Aside from the valuable green marker they blend into the map way too much, especially the self-made stash with the dark purple (or brown) icon. It's fairly easy to make them stand out, and for the white ones to have the same size. I'm planning to release a mod for that soon

[fair canopy]

I used it for my weapon pack. You just have to set the folder paths manually

[vale knot]

yeah i noticed that, just needed to set the destinations manually

but everything else was flawless

Hey i'm trying to import an animation from a mod,(fdda) to mi fdda mod i copy the animation the sound the texture of the objects and the mesh, i added the configuration to load animation sound and mesh but i keep doing the older animation, what files should i look to replace an specific item animation? any advice please

If someone could help me, in trying to redo chemical mod. For alcoholism, im trying instead of cap stamina I want to reduce the stamina recovery. There's any mod using something similar to look an example or any advise. It interact with other boosters, how could it handle?

[iron grove]

hello,could anyone tell me how to increase emission and psi storm durations

[vale knot]

Should be in the settings under the zone

Weather

You cam change frequency of events

[iron grove]

i meant the actual duration once they happen,not their frequency

I figured it out though,thanks

[past barn]

Can you explain where are those settings?

[iron grove]

which ones do you mean,for the frequency ones,its the in game settings/the zone/events

[past barn]

The duration settings you were looking for

[iron grove]

gamedata/scripts/psi_storm_manager

then you change the self.psi_storm_duration value to what you want,but this just affects the time for which the game recognizes a psi storm is happening,so npcs run inside during this time and you get and alert for when this time passes

then in configs/environment/weather_effects go to fx_psi_storm_day and fx_psi_storm_night is where you edit how long the each stage of a psi storm lasts

at least thats how I understand it,I tested a psi storm with 4x the default values and it seems to be working

[vale knot]

do u just want psy storms to be longer

gamma has an addon that makes them shorter

called like "gamma short psy storms"

look in the files there and youll probably get a better idea

[iron grove]

yeah thats how I did it at least

just switched those values to 4x that

[past barn]

Right, thanks

[past barn]

Can a competent modder please explain why MCME has a round minimap frame compared to the default rectangle, and what controls it? Because the only config file the mod has only changes the positioning of the map as far as I can tell. I don't understand what controls the round nature of the map frame and why it works, but I'd love to learn that. The mod in question:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/modular-compass-minimap-extension

[violet ridge]

random shot in the dark, the round compass is an overlay over the normal square minimap ?

[past barn]

Nope. The default one is a wide rectangle mask, this is a circlular one. The original is much wider than this

So it's definitely not just a texture over the same map cutout. If I remove the compass texture the map has a circular frame

[sour ibex]

anyone knows how the mouse wheel up and down key are called in the user.ltx file?

Can someone tell me why wont Nimble accept my PKM? Yes it is over 90% condition, and the parts too. And yes I have the money.

I checked the Darkasleif's Nimble Upgrades Guns mod, and there arent any issues in the script file, so I am genuinely lost

[past barn]

@jade bison Sorry to bother you but you seem knowledgeable based on the upgrades chat from #╓☢stalker-chat. If you have some spare time can you help me out with this?

[jade bison]

I have no clue man, sry

[daring mauve]

I figured out the issue, the game didnt like the fact that my barrel was repaired or something, even though it was at 100%. I spawned a new barrel, and replaced it, and then Nimble accepted it.
Very weird

[violet ridge]

if you have an older save it would be worth checking if, in traditional IT vein, taking the old barrel out and back in would change anything

[past barn]

Okay so I figured it out: the default SquareDOV config includes a rounded="0" code which makes the map rectangular. The mod doesn't have this piece of code which I guess turns it into the default circular mask the standard game has. If I include rounded="1" it displays as a circle again. But it's kinda strange because the width and height are both 0.152 which should make the map into a square but it's actually a wide rectangle ingame

[daring mauve]

I do have an older save yes. I will check it out later when I have the spare time. Thanks

[daring mauve]

I didn't load an older save (just so I don't lose my progress).
I simply went back to base, got a red (18%) barrel, swapped it in the PKM, swapped its 99% back in.
Talked to Nimble, demanded he give me Zulu's PKM, and he did. GG
Basically, I turned it off and on again, and it worked 🙂

Thanks

Did the same thing with the MP5A3, now it worked. Both guns were accepted. I turned them off and on again 😉

Does anyone know the console command to change time scale in-game?

Does anyone know if there's some sort of placeable explosives limit?

only one way to find out

honestly if there was i feel like that'd be something defined in the engine itself

The hunger icons are broken as you can see in the image.
The radiation indicator doesn't work.
Fire mode indicator doesn't work.
The game crashes after dying in a gravitational anomaly.
The option menu has visual glitches.

anybody knows ?

[violet ridge]

I've made a brand new scope item (BaS style upgrade kit) that works and attaches to the weapons I've defined it to (tested via debug), the only last problem before release of the mod I have is adding it to traders
I've tried to use BaS trader injector script (and made the game crash, yay me) and other methods used by other mods, to no effect (cause I probably don't understood them properly, or they are doing something else to insert their stuff into trader)

I am not seeing the item show up at the traders, even after waiting multiple days

haha, MP5 go brrrrrrrr for longer

[past barn]

They both require either a technician who has been given the proper tools to install upgrades: 1x basic toolkit for tier 1 upgrades, 1x advanced toolkit for tier 2 upgrades and 1x expert toolkits for tier 3 upgrades. Afaik there's no other requirement, you just need the money to pay for it

If you want to do it yourself you need to obtain the upgrade kits themselves which look like black boxes/briefcases with colored stripes going from yellow --> orange --> red which mean tier 1 --> 2 --> 3. You also need some form of toolkit or workshop or a technician's vice to enter the workbench where you can upgrade stuff (on the 2nd tab iirc). I'm not sure about this part but I think you'll also need the proper 'workshop compatible repair kit' for the particular gun/armor to upgrade it. You can check which of the toolkits is required for any given item when you right click on it and check Details tab

[past barn]

Which one do you mean, the circular quest marker that sits exactly on top of the mission's location, or the red arrow that shows its direction on the map?

[regal bolt]

Already got it. Thanks for trying to help!

[barren sequoia]

Thx for answering. I was meaning a mod that unlocks all the upgrades for a weapon and for armor. Not how to upgrade.

[violet ridge]

^ you are better and quicker off cheating via debug
spawn all toolkits and give them to mechanic of choice, cheat further to gain money and buy all the upgrades

the better off part is questionable but hey, to each their own

[past barn]

Yeah that's way faster than trying to mod it

[random fulcrum]

but full upgrades is about letting you have both upgrades in those choice tiers

that's the gimmick of that mos

not being able to do t3 upgrades at the start of the game

[barren sequoia]

U cant make all the upgrades with the console. I know how to cheat. If u upgrade 1 slot of 2 or 3 tier the other slot is locked. Iam asking for a mod that unlocks all of them. for weapons and armor.

[random fulcrum]

see

[past barn]

Oh lol. Yeah I remember that mod for Call of Pripyat I think? Based off from that I'm sure you'd need to edit every single gun and armor config file to allow all upgrades to be installed at the same time

[random fulcrum]

there's a mod for it in the dltx minimod repository

[past barn]

[barren sequoia]

Yes and for misery. Great mod. Make ur loved guns go all the way

tnx can u share a link?

[random fulcrum]

it's in gamma

"196- DLTX Minimodpack - Demonized" I guess? How do I enable all upgrades, reinstall the mod or?

[random fulcrum]

[barren sequoia]

Can u help me so i can make for 1 weapon? So we learn how to make it

[barren sequoia]

It wont break my game? Right?

[past barn]

Right. Can I check what's already installed in default GAMMA from this mod? Because if there are multiple options I guess they're needed right now, and during the reinstall I'd need to select them again. But which one are those?

[random fulcrum]

reinstall as a new mod

[past barn]

I have no idea how to make it. I compared the default configs with the CoP mod a while ago but I couldn't figure it out tbh. I also didn't pay much attention to it since the mod was already working, I was just curious to see how they did it. The best bet is to check out that mod and compare the standard + upgrades config files with the default ones in GAMMA, and look for differences in the upgrades section (which I guess is a thing)

[barren sequoia]

there is so many full upgrade patches. Do u know witch one works?

[random fulcrum]

no

[barren sequoia]

Ok ill try it and i will answer here when i test it

[past barn]

There's a pretty long description for all of them:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/dltx-required-dltx-minimod-pack

[barren sequoia]

Thx i thought that but it was my last option

It worked. I installed better upgrades Dltx and the patch expanded armor packs and all the optiona. The Full upgrades DLtx and the patches

[random fulcrum]

but expanded armor isn't in gamma

and better upgrades has nothing to do with it either

[violet ridge]

ok, got that fukken part working now

Probably i needed only the Full upgrades Dltx and the patches. But Better upgrades looks fun also. So many thx to everyone Now i am gonna get lost in the zone. For a while....

[vivid wraith]

Anyone know how I can remove near blur on Beef’s NVG? I know it’s there for realism, but I personally find it very annoying as it obstructs most of my field of view which makes me prefer using the flashlight…

[haughty egret]

I'm not sure you can remove all, but you can at least lower the grain to the minimum

[vivid wraith]

Grain?

[haughty egret]

essencially all that noise effect on the image of the NVGs

[vivid wraith]

How?

[haughty egret]

there is a setting in the nvg options in mcm

go to beef's nvg on mcm and pulls the max and min grain sliders all the way down to the minimum

it won't completly remove it but the difference is night and day

I used to not like NVGs until I did that and now they feel good enough

[past barn]

That's gain, not g__r__ain. They're very different

Those control the min and max brightness settings

And from my experience they seem to completely break the sensitivity adjustment on tap if you mess around with the first 2* sliders

[haughty egret]

no

it is grain

you know that grain effect you get when you are in a radiation pool

and also get it in NVG

by lowering the max and minimum you get a lot less of that

[past barn]

Well my settings say "gain". And for me they adjust what I just described

Grain depends on what sensitivity your NVG is set to, the higher the more grain you'll see

[haughty egret]

oh, you are right, it says gain but it affects the grain in the screen

less gain, less grain

put it at minimum and the NVGs actually work pretty well

[young solstice]

Hey guys, how can I change the weapon HUD for a specific weapon? For example, I made some changes in debug menu, but then noticed that nothing was saved.

[vivid wraith]

I'd assume there's more grain at higher values because the screen gets brighter, thus making it more visible.

But that sadly does not help me much >>

[haughty egret]

for me the grain practically vanishes

[pure reef]

Hello !! When i put this armor, i have this message, any idea ?

[pure reef]

the better portraits assigns DUX portraits and DUX MODELS to the outfits

[last walrus]

is there a way for me to learn how to make an upgrade to make the Famas run on 7.62 NATO ?

[violet ridge]

you are probably better off making a new FAMAS in 7,62mm from the get go

aka, copy config, switch in config for it to use 7,62mm and voila

[woven mountain]

Yeah, look at the 12.7 x 55 Dhampyr upgrade in the code using agent ransack

[last walrus]

imma try that
idk if it's gonna be that easy cos i mean it won't be the first time i do smth in the codes of game
but it's the first time i do it in such a complex game

[violet ridge]

the fastest way, would be to create an inheritance from original famas

[last walrus]

where can i find the original files ?

[violet ridge]

it's vanilla weapon, unless in GAMMA is being replaced by a replacer mod

vanilla weapon configs are in DB files

you need to go to anomaly folder into tools folder

[last walrus]

oh nice i was looking wrong place

[violet ridge]

and in there launch db_unpacker.bat (I think), it will create new folder in tools

_unpacked

where ALL of the anomaly configs will be unpacked

(don't worry, it's less than 50MB)

[last walrus]

okay i clicked unpacker and it opened a lil window

so it made a new folder

i found the famas in the items
what do i do now ?

[violet ridge]

most simple and clunky way would be to just copy the ltx into a mod folder you will prepare

and adjust the values you need in that copy

ie
give it a new name, change the ammo it uses, and make new xml strings to properly reflect it's a different item than the original famas

[last walrus]

oh wait i just thought abt smth
i run on artigrok's ballistics
am i gonna have to make a special code for it or it just converts automatically ?

[violet ridge]

i absolutely have no idea how that works, I'd assume it may be using some base weaponry classes

class = WP_AK74
these for examples

if you look into other rifle configs, they "all" refer to that class

[last walrus]

just a question
is "ammo_5.56x45_ss190" a normal ammo bc i don't remember it

[violet ridge]

dunno, but you don't need even to look at 5,56 ammo, just take config of 7,62mm weapon and copy the ammo line from there

[last walrus]

very smart

[violet ridge]

basis of modding is just taking look at how things are done and then working that out to do what you yourself want

[last walrus]

alr i changed the ammo
i reduced the fire rate, made it a lil heavier and made bullets go faster

any idea where the recoil and the accuracy is ?

[last walrus]

Mo2 doesn't activate the mod bc according to it :

[violet ridge]

¯_(ツ)_/¯
dunno

[last walrus]

crap

i'd need help on that one

[violet ridge]

the config file should be still referring to original models, meshes and assets, so I am not sure why the heck Mo2 demands they should be within the mod folder

[last walrus]

oh so that's what it wants by esp/esm and esl ?

[violet ridge]

no, the config is referring to original files in vanilla game, Mo2 shouldn't be bitching about wanting those

[last walrus]

i can just put them inside the folder tho
it would work right ?

[violet ridge]

the stuff you unpacked is just .db files game uses extracted for your viewing pleasure

unless you mean putting the model and etc. asset files in the mod folder

I believe those are in DB folders too, I may be mistaken

overall i am not the best person to ask, maybe a more focused gun modder will be able to help you

[last walrus]

yeah but there's nobody else

[violet ridge]

such is the life

either do trial and error until you figure it out, or try to learn from modding resources out there, or wait till someone maybe comes along to help, or pay someone skilled to do it for you

[last walrus]

u think it's possible to just put the new file with the old ones ?

[violet ridge]

^

putting your file there will do diddly as game still uses the stuff located in packed DB files

that unpacked folder is only there for you to look at as reference

[last walrus]

yeah i wasn't sure if that what u meant

so.... crap
i'll need to wait for someone else to help me on it

[violet ridge]

try asking on anomaly discord

[last walrus]

i'm not on it lol

[young solstice]

Guys, help me please to figure out. I made some HUD changes in debug menu for one weapon. Then I open the ltx file for this weapon end tried to find the same options, but there are completely different numbers. For example when I open debug menu, it shows this (without any changes):

Then I open ltx file and it shows this:

so, where exactly I have to put my changes? I can't get this

[young solstice]

and this

[violet ridge]

the top screenshot says you are looking at data for kriss with EOT on it ?

so why would veresk data match with it ?

[young solstice]

yeah, this sounds right, but without EOT there is the same data

[violet ridge]

but, veresk is not kriss vector ?

[young solstice]

hmm

[violet ridge]

it seems you are looking at wrong gun ingame, unless there is "weapon replacer" mod going on

[young solstice]

yes, my fault) I already found another file, now I'm going to check data there, thanks)

[young solstice]

Ok, now it works)

[past barn]

What does the original icon look like?

Hah lmao

Imagine a meme mod where every single mission icon is replaced by tasty food xD

As far as I can tell the game might be using icons from various assets, not necessarily from this one only. This particular icon is in Anomaly, not GAMMA. You need to either extract Anomaly's contents or use the file I attached. You can make changes with Paint.NET or GIMP because they handle DDS files by default. Make sure not to place a larger image than the size of the current icon's area because it will be visible on other icons. Once you're done create a new folder in [your GAMMA folder]\mods\ [name for your mod] \gamedata\textures\ui\ and place the modified DDS inside. This mod will show up in MO2 at the bottom, enable it and magic happens ✨

[daring mauve]

Is it possible to run modified Anomaly.exes for a certain MO2 profile only, without replacing the original ones?

local name_k = ini_sys:r_string_ex(se_item:section_name(), "inv_name")
local name = name_k and game.translate_string(name_k)

[analog dirge]

Alright thanks!
If I understand correctly : the first line go get the name from a .ltx and puts it in a temp variable
The second just set the retrieved name in a variable.
Tho, I don't understand why would it need associating the temp variable and translating it?

[lunar nimbus]

first line gets the value of key inv_name in ltx ;]
second tries to find the translation from xml

[analog dirge]

I see, otherwise it would give the full xml index?

[lunar nimbus]

yeah, first line will just return st_vodka

second returns this

[analog dirge]

Works like a charm, thanks!

[sick canyon]

yo, uhhhh for gas mask overlays right. I don't know if its intuitive do this but with the reshade menu theres a layers filter where you can basically overlay a png image with transparency over the screen. You could just get a 1080x1920 image or an image for your resolution, replace the layer.png file in the textures folder and have a gas mask overlay that can be toggled on and off with turn reshade off button. I didn't accomodate for the resolution but i think it has potential

you can easily just swap it out and reload it too

major downside i see to this is that its not automatically tuned to your resolution like the gas mask mods themselves nor change depending on your suit

but its just an idea doe

also you dont even need to leave the game to make changes, you can just replace the file, reload it, then bam

its done

scaled it, looks pretty plausible
