are the shaders contained in the sdk files? i downloaded them but cant find them in the files

Hey guys! Is there any addon which ties item price to the randomized item conditions? Meaning the condition of items impacting price of items.

#

I use Grok's Trader Item Conditions Randomizer but the prices stay the same sadly. I would like the condition to determine the price of the item while still keeping the "tier" of the item intact meaning the sunrise armor still being more expensive at 25% than a leather jacket at 25%. I don't know how to code anything so if anyone could help me with this it would be much appreciated!

hasty comet
#

Btw I finally managed to edit outfits and give them meaningful resistances like ballistic, BR rating / value, and alter body part strong points and weak points per outfit type.

#

DM me about outfit or armor edits if someone is using the search function some time in the future.

#

(its not easy, takes so many damned file edits and searching, reserve a day off for it, or a week if youre not working all day nonstop)

regal bolt
#

dang, nice work
I assume ballistic resistance is not just DLTXable easily if you need several files for that

#

so, when're you posting your armor rebalance?

How do I disable Gamma's tools Use feature? Basically remove the ability to use tools everywhere as a workshop.
I deleted the workshop_tool.script from G.A.M.M.A. Artefacts Reinvention mod, but it still works lol

@hasty comet I already have stuff in mind like which armor should be specialised in what, but I didn't have time to edit everything yet

hasty comet
# undone lily I'm interested

sigh tired

I edited all ammo ap values in all w_ammo files entries (both vanilla AND bas, mostly nerfs to penetration value but not for AP ammo so much), edited all text files related to ammo, edited BR class file, edited outfit files by adding new stats via dltx, edited damages.ltx (every single section, very big impact when it comes to fine edits, including big buffs for specific body parts in specific body part armor values which I wanted to have more layers of defence for some outfits), edited Actor Damage Balance mod scripts and config/plugins (this one is by far the most impactful because it has like, 20% "always penetrate" bullet damage scripts in it and also scripts that make rapid fire hits crit chance higher i think, so machine gun subsequent connects at you quickly exponentially murder you), edited the game's difficulty file a little bit (how much damage is received overall). Optional edits are health mods and haruka's skill mod related to damage received.

Actor damage balance also alters equipment durability by a huge margin.

Close Quarters Combat mod was also integral somehow in all of this but I forgor because brain is neurodegenerative now after months of editing these bloody files ghostStare

Moral of the story? kids if u want to redesign any aspect of Gamma come prepared with lube, medkits, sedatives, a job that wont kick you out for missed shifts, self discipline of a dalai lama, frequent snacks prepared by optimally your gf (which doesnt exist lets be real), spare down time to make snacks in addition to enormous time needed to make these file edits, knowledge of notepad++ and basic coding skills, know how to use discord etiquette, good pc and frequent saving of changes to avoid mass wipes and certain sanity drop to 0 and going postal :)))) good luck fellow mödders okaycatcry

# undone lily armor values don't affect NPCs

I found intricate setup in damages.ltx for all npc types and armour. Also sections for actor (player). I beg to differ. Found big differences in how durable NPCs are now that i buffed armour there. Unless I missed smth. But I made it work, bottom line.

#

outfit based is really hit and miss imo

hasty comet
#

I think I accomplished it, but who knows. Ive only fought up until midgame.

undone lily
#

because it highly depends on how model makers attributed the profile to their model

hasty comet
#

Xray engine truly is the work of the Devil confirmed

undone lily
daring mauve
undone lily
#

but yeah the actual defense values are basically hard coded in the model file

hasty comet
undone lily
#

thankfully, using grok_bo.script, you can edit the associated capture ltx file to change the defense section of each NPC model

#

so if you go down the drain of checking each and every NPC model, you can edit their defense values manually

hasty comet
#

or are my theories false? they feel proven though.

undone lily
#

outfits values are only for actor

unless you check which armor NPCs drop (which I mostly set correctly, by manually checking the 3200 models, YES).

did I say I also set the helmets section accordingly

daring mauve
#

man, i'm being ignored

undone lily
#

it can somehow generate crashes, so simply make the file say:

printf("no whatever the script was doing before")

#

(I always make empty script file, but somehow I got a craash once recently related to an empty script, so now I'm doing this printf shit)

daring mauve

so I copy paste this printf line into the .script?

yes

does printf post that to the console, log, or on screen?

@undone lily Would it be possible to make trader item conditions impact price? I'm using your Trader Item Condition Randomizer so using this and making the conditions of items impact the price to buy or sell items would be awesome. Maybe it's too much work? I have no idea lol.

#

I think this could open up more possibilities with trading and repairing/crafting incentivizing "looting -> repairing -> selling gameplay" and vice versa.

#

Unrelated to GAMMA of course, as you can't buy armor/weapons from traders.

undone lily
undone lily
regal bolt
#

Because a Sunrise Armor of 100% condition costs ca. 40-45k and when it has 25% it is still over 40k..

undone lily
#

there are various ways of doing it

#

you need to know how to script in LUA

#

I don't have time to tell you exactly where to check this out. iirc in my addon "Craft Overhaul" there's an option so traders guns and armors are randomly damaged, and this impacts the price iirc

#

not sure about the price you sell items to traders though

#

but that's a nice start to reverse engineer the stuff

#

someone with more time could find the relevent script line to edit for you

i wish someone would make a coop mod somehow that would make gamma so much fun but i bet that's hard to make

hahaha no worries, what I mean is that for example, when I put some code on the actor_on_before_death, it's executed line after line, and only when the previous line is finished, let's says it's one threaded, and not like a promise on JS for example.
This is because I have been struggling with a "bug" where sometimes my time skip functions it's executed twice or even more.

Hello!
I'm trying to bind a function of my script to a keybind while the inventory is opened.
The "on_key_press" callback works out of the inventory, but not while the inventory is opened.
Any ideas why?

steady apex
#

idk why but i can give you a shitty solution

# 
function actor_on_update()
  if key_state(DIK_keys.DIK_LSHIFT) == 1 then
    printf("Left Shift is pressed")
  end
end
#

you have to make external functions to make it trigger once

analog dirge
#

define 'external functions'

steady apex
#

your own

ornate spade
#

another option is to monkey patch the on key press function of the uiinventory class
afaik by default on screen GUI will block gameplay inputs, unless you specify otherwise with _GUIs_keyfree

analog dirge
ornate spade
#

..i don't recommend adding uiinventory to that anyways
but it's a table in which you can set an index with the same name as the UI registers with Register_UI (e.g. _GUI_keysfree["UIInventory"] = true)

steady apex
# 
local keyPressedState = {}
function keyPressed(key)
    if key_state(key) == 1 then
        if not keyPressedState[key] then
            keyPressedState[key] = true
            return true
        else
            return false
        end
    else
        if keyPressedState[key] then
            keyPressedState[key] = false
            return false
        else
            return false
        end
    end
end

function actor_on_update()
    if keyPressed(DIK_keys.DIK_LSHIFT) then
        printf("Left Shift pressed")
    end
end

try this, left shift pressed should be printed once in console

#

As usual I came too late. That’s also what my wife says kekwpain

analog dirge
undone lily
#

You could use one of them easily, simply make it so it works only when the mouse isn’t hovering an object

#

Otherwise, on GUI show try using a time event 💚

#

This should “delay” the trigger so that the inventory actually has time to build and be displayed so your script should work

#

Since I guess your problem was related to some items not stacking like they should on gui show ?

#

Btw I think a good way of solving inventory lag would be to reduce the inventory to a specific category by default when opened KekSkew

analog dirge
#

I found that the error of missing ID with the get_object_by_id when using the combine all (not only ZAS) is related to a mod included in GAMMA. I can comfirm as I tested ZAS in default Anomaly with no errors even with 500 items.

#

I dont know which yet because this find happened at the same time I switched focus from ZAS to experimental level changer stuff

undone lily
#

MCM the default category and boom. No more inventory lag on opening it. I found it out because opening inventory and quickly pressing 2 or 3 usually reduces the lag time a lot kekg

analog dirge
#

Du génie 5head

undone lily
#

Yes GAMMA is always harder to mod because it’s spaghetti 3000

analog dirge
#

It works tho

undone lily
#

Sure kekwpain

analog dirge
undone lily
#

It’s actually dumb easy on inventory open, simulate a key press. MCM the key to press based on item categories (1 to 9)

analog dirge
#

Tho, would it really reduce inventory lag even if switching back to view all right after?

#

So if I had to take a guess on how this works is that it reduce the work because it doesnt have to load the inventory and then display it all. Instead it loads the inventory but display only a part of it. Correct?

shadow hull

anm_idle_sprint = jadey_kar_sprint

anm_close = jadey_kar_reload_close
anm_open = jadey_kar_reload_open
anm_add_cartridge = jadey_kar_reload_addcartridge

...then adding ", .09" or some other number will not work. How can I alter the animation speed?

violet ridge
#

I dont think you can, you edit animations via omf editor

and then you'd need to edit the sound associated with the animation (like a reload sound for reload animation) seperately

I don't know sh** about video editing but i did my best to make a small trailer for my (first ever) upcoming mod.
Let me know what you think, just don't eat my soul i did my best dread

The Arrival is is a complete redesign of particle visuals in Stalker Anomaly, similar to Cinematic VFX made by "jdud" as it's based on the same particle.xr file. Some of his elements i kept because i liked them and rest i redesigned completely. It also comes with integrated Dynamic Anomalies Overhaul as it can be seen in the trailer. I have also made new sounds for almost all anomalies to suit better to their new look. This mod is built on top of GAMMA so it will work perfectly with it, i haven't tested with vanilla Anomaly yet because the mod is not finished, although it is in its final stages.

Guys anyone know the difference between doing: db.actor:set_health_ex(1) and db.actor.health = 1

unique hawk
#

Not just in this case but almost everywhere you should always try to use callbacks if one is available for setting property values, because there may or may not be a set of process that needs to be done before setting the value, and by setting it directly you are ignoring all that

#

even in cases that this callback only sets value you should still keep using that over setting value directly because in future there is the possibility of adding some other process that is needed to be done by setting value(like changing some UI elements)

lunar nimbus
#

updates are quite frequent, so if you don't need to change it constantly u can use either of them

unique hawk
#

Usually setting values directly is not considered a good practice

lunar nimbus
#

updates are most likely per game second

#

not sure i understood the "script execution order" part, scripts are just instructions for engine, i dont know how it can run "after"

unique hawk
#

If that's the case, I agree for instant updates Its needed to set value directly (like reviving via medics called magic position)

unique hawk
# lunar nimbus not sure i understood the "script execution order" part, scripts are just instru...

in most game engines we run scripts in a single thread, so all codes have to run in a sequence, and for example, your health is only 10 and there is some radiation and some healing effect on you where each can add or reduce 10 from your hp based on execution order there are a few possible outcomes
there are 3 scripts, script-1 for reducing health when radiated, script-2 for adding health based on healing effect, script-3 shows death screen when health is <= 0
here is one possible outcome: script-1: health -= 10 so now health is 0, script-2: health += 10 so now health is back to 10, script-3: health is 10 and it's bigger than 0 so the player is still alive!!
and here is another order of execution: script-1: health -= 10 so now health is 0, script-3: health is 0 so player is dead, script-2 don't get executed as game has ended.

lunar nimbus
#

there is just 1 file that manage all effects i believe

unique hawk
#

there are many scripts that are accessing to health property(both reading and writing)

lunar nimbus
unique hawk
#

That's right one engine code is managing everything, That is the point where I previously said that "I believe the checks for being alive happens at the end of execution order"

#

But before that check this management code first executes all of the lua codes written in .script files, and for running them in one thread where at any moment only one instruction can be executed you need to order them and run all of them one by one in that order

#

after that you can read the final health value(and for that matter any other property) and do the final checks and handle anything that is needed to be handled in C++ side of engine(for example rendering and playing sounds)

undone lily
lunar nimbus
#

script 1 will add +5
script 2 will reduce -10
in engine we will get:
health = health + (5-10)

u can change order however u want and u'll still get same value, im not getting what u tryna say xd

# lunar nimbus script 1 will add +5 script 2 will reduce -10 in engine we will get: health = he...

What I'm trying to say is that, yes in this case both of them almost do the same thing because of the execution order, but in some cases for example where in another lua script we are checking the current health and give a bonus where health is under 30%, the effect check can happen before reducing the health via callback is applied but in most cases its ok because in worst case scenario it will happen in next tick. But for something like instant healing happening via medic magic potion (which instantly restores health to full) we kinda need to set it directly to make sure that its set for everything else, I can imaginge it could work via calling the method but probebly it cause some undesired effect where an extra tick from radiation would happen and health get to 95% instead of 100%

molten surge
#

is there any place where I can find all available callbacks?

lunar nimbus

#

the issue I'm trying to debug is that, (making a respawn mod), if I use inside my actor_on_before_death db.actor:set_health_ex(1) first or gamemode_azazel.heal_everything() and then, at the end of actor_on_before_death, I try to set a different health value using db.actor:set_health_ex(1) and db.actor.health = 1, my health is show full. (maybe it's a HUD redraw issue? because even if I'm hungry I do not see the hungry icon)

molten surge
lunar nimbus
#

those arent callbacks tho, those are jsut class methods

unique hawk
#

What you are saying is that health gets to 100% but you still die?

unique hawk
#

I'm just calling them callbacks to explain my point(at some point you may want to call some callbacks where health is changed)

lunar nimbus
#

well its incorrect and confusing xd

for sure, let me push this branch and I'll share the repo, it's my first mod so glad to get some help 😄

lunar nimbus
#

drag it here as script please, dont like reading git

unique hawk
#

Even if I wouldn't be able to find the problem I'm sure other more experienced moders can help with that

#

so I guess sharing it here is a better idea because more people are willing to take a look at it

molten surge
#

I actually just fixed the not showing the hungry icon with a draw off and on of the how, but still having the health always 1 issue.

#

There are some code that is from other mods and also it's a bit of a mess, but most important lines are at the actor_on_before_death

lunar nimbus
#

did u wait for 30 sec

molten surge
lunar nimbus
#

god, github with no syntax

molten surge

I hate it too haha

lunar nimbus
#

i dont know, there is bind_stalker_ext.invulnerable_time = time_global() + 30000 somewhere in the middle

unique hawk
#

I can see that you've commented out the db.actor.health = global_healing, It didn't worked with that line?

molten surge
unique hawk
#

What is the out put values for this line : print_dbg("healing %s", global_healing)

another advice, do not ever use goto
u basically have a more risky return since its pointing to the end of function anyway

#

satiety should be 0.7 and I'm empty

lunar nimbus
#

try to read actual satiety with
db.actor:cast_Actor():conditions():GetSatiety()

unique hawk
#

Yeah it can be a UI issue, but I'm also suspecting that maybe at some other part of codes(maybe even other mods) there is something setting your health to full when respawning

molten surge
lunar nimbus
#

everywhere

molten surge
unique hawk
#

That's interesting, maybe there is more to it then. I guess there can be some other code that sets health to full after your code being executed, and that code does not execute in azazel mode

#

maybe some if before it to see if it's running it this mode or not

#

If that's the case, It's gonna be a little bit messy to fix

#

what other mods are you running? can you check your mod by itself?

lunar nimbus
#

i dont understand, u disabled azazel code or they running together?

molten surge
#

I'm not in azazel code, I used it's code to health, but ignore that, that line is now db.actor:set_health_ex(1), I was just trying that health mode (azazel) but it was the same

#

pushed the current code

#

I'm using default GAMMA + my mod

lunar nimbus
#

im out of ideas xd code looks ok

unique hawk
#

@molten surge @lunar nimbus In order to load a mod what is needed other than putting it in the right directory? Is there any configuration file to edit?

lunar nimbus
#

just needs to be in gamedata

unique hawk
#

so if that's the case can you create another mod with a name that goes to the end of list of directories and only thing you do is to register for on before death event and log the values you've been setting in the response mod you've created?

#

@molten surge

#

log them with a cool prefix so we can be sure the values from second mod are which

#

I'm beginning to suspect that another mod is changing the values after you do, with this test if done correctly we can find out what happens when our code runs after every other mod, you can even set values to a new one like 0.5 just to see what happens if your code runs last

#

log them using print_dbg("final health is: %s", db.actor.health)

lunar nimbus
#

script name probably wont matter because callbacks in scripts have random order

#

u could try to wrap certain parts (like setting health etc) into time events:

CreateTimeEvent("some_idk_e", "some_idk_a", 0, function()
  -- code to execute on next update here
  return true
end)

return true stops it after first run, otherwise it will run constantly

unique hawk
#

If that's the case yeah the only way is to wrap logs in an timeout and log them with a few millisecond delay to make sure they are running after everything else

unique hawk
#

and you have no idea why and where

molten surge
#

so creating a zzzz_debugger mod doest matter?

unique hawk
#

I'm not sure but you can try creating something like that and just set values to something you can debug in before death callback

#

for example if you set everything to 0.5 and it stays you can be sure that problem is what we think is(from another mod)

#

if it didn't worked try doing it again but this time using the CreateTimeEvent method so we can be sure that the code is running after everything else

unique hawk
#

just make sure you put enough z's at the start for it to be at end for real(for sake of debugging put 4 or five)

Can someone enlighten me on what's happening here? I created a mod to replace the main menu ( #1087314745931079730 ) which works fine but sometimes the game crashes with this error, and I don't understand why. I'm not in the menu and not trying to access the menu either when these crashes happen, they seem to be totally random. The game turns into a black screen then after some time it crashes, and copies this to the clipboard with no crash popup

Expression    : D3DX11CreateTextureFromMemory ( HW.pDevice,S->pointer(),S->length(), &LoadInfo, 0, &pTexture2D, 0 )

as I've said the only way to debug this correctly is using a build with debug layer enabled, It's really hard to debug a GPU level error without any debug layer running (even with tools like RenderDoc or Nsight)

I'll make the texture smaller and see what happens. Thanks

unique hawk
#

I would like to know the results if its not a problem, I'm just curious to know if its fixes the problem or not

past barn
#

Will take some time to see if that solves it as I've only had 2 crashes so far under like 20 or so hours

I see, I will follow your mod post then

When i changed one of the menu backgrounds in my game i had to change it to same resolution as vanilla

past barn
#

And what's that?

unique hawk
#

I think it's fullHD

#

so it should be 1920x1080

#

If I'm not mistaken you can find the background used for GAMMA in G.A.M.M.A. UI\gamedata\textures\ui

past barn
#

Right. Because it's a strange format I just assumed I can't check its size, but I can. It's 1920x1080 indeed

the dds in arguments is not the reason, its just the first random dds that came after driver crash

#

i bet there are shit tons of hand made limitations in the engine which with modern hardware u can cross but when u do - shit like this happens

#

i dont like people who blame every little bug from addons where author store objects on xray, but this one really seems like xrays being old fault 🤷‍♂️

#

tldr: the error it threw is just a consequence of another bigger error ;]

molten surge
#

Well now I found another weird behavior, If I die over water, and my mod teleport you and heal up, I still get the crazy rads, it's like I'm still standing over water, db.actor:change_radiation(0) set rads to 0 but I get the bar filled in no time and die

No you where reloading the level

yep it's monokai, I have been using it for work for the last 4-5 years and I'm too used to change it

molten surge
#

love the font tbh

unique hawk

yes that's the one

#

I think fira is the default font for visual studio, correct me if i'm wrong

unique hawk
#

@molten surge I just checked the fast travel mod and It should work, But it reminds me of some of that mod's problems

#

some times after fast traveling I just end up dead and when I reload my game crashes

#

When I relaunch the game I find a quick save with my health being -100% in it, and it's at the moment after teleportation

#

that certainly weird

#

from what you've observed, what do you think is cause of this? my guess is that the effect from the radioactive zone stays after teleportation

molten surge
#

Yep that is the issue, I was able to escape the radiations after moving a bit and letting the player day again

#

next time I was free of radiations

unique hawk
#

can we do a work around?

#

maybe before calling ChangeLevel method

#

use db.actor:set_actor_position to move player to a safe position in the map and then call ChangeLevel

#

its a weird work around but I need to make sure that is the cause

#

😄

#

It can fix the problem but its better if we find a solid solution for it instead

steady apex
#

if you need to set it, do db.actor.radiation = 0

unique hawk
#

I guess change_radiation method already does that

#

but yes medic does this to heal everything

steady apex
#

thats a wrong guess

unique hawk
# 
function medic_magic_potion(first_speaker, second_speaker)
    db.actor.health = 1
    db.actor.power = 1
-- com    db.actor.radiation = 0
    db.actor.bleeding = 1
end
# 
    local npc = who_is_npc(first_speaker, second_speaker)
    npc.health = 1
    npc.power = 1
    npc.radiation = 0
    npc.bleeding = 1
end```
molten surge
steady apex
#

if you need to get rid of radiation, do db.actor.radiation = 0

unique hawk
#

It's already been used for that purpose

steady apex
#

bruh

molten surge
steady apex
#

idk then

#

game thinks you still standing on water or something

molten surge
#

yep the game thinks that 😦

steady apex
#

as a workaround you can do something like this, this will force 0 rads every frame
CreateTimeEvent("always_0_rads", "always_0_rads", 0, function() if db.actor then db.actor.radiation = 0 end end)

unique hawk
# unique hawk can we do a work around?

have you tried doing it? if not I think the opposite of this can work too, after calling ChangeLevel use db.actor:set_actor_position to move him a little bit so engine can recalculate the zone that its in

molten surge
unique hawk
molten surge
#

haha

#

Actually demonized will force rads 0 always, so not sure if that is viable for me

unique hawk
#

you can try returning true

#

so it only runs once

#

try writing it in multiple lines, its more readable that way

#

@molten surge

molten surge
#

ok will try

lunar nimbus
#

dont u have actor invulnerability after azazel death or even urs?

#

radiation are hits, this should set all hits to 0 including radiation

molten surge
#

nope it's ignoring that,

molten surge
#

Fixed it making a custom invulnerability

# 
    local current_time = time_global()
    local sleep = alife_storage_manager.get_state().dead_penalties
    if sleep.last_death_time then
        local invulnerable_time = sleep.last_death_time + 85000
        if invulnerable_time < current_time then
            return
        end
        if invulnerable_time > current_time and shit.type == 3 then
            shit.power = 0
            db.actor.radiation = 0
        end
    end

@undone lily I finally counted up all the firearms, armors and helmets that are in the NPC loadouts if you are interested to see what factions have the most variety.

undone lily
#

But having a representation of the data is always nice verynice

shadow hull
#

Which is different from vanilla anomaly, iirc mercs and unisg had some of the most variety.

#

While surprisingly, Ecologists have the second largest firearm variety and military has the least variety.

#

Also the gap from second most and third most is wide. Monolith has 143 different firearms they can spawn with and Ecologists have 125, and loners in third have 86. I also noticed unisg are the only ones that can spawn with a gauss.

#

Monolith do have the gauss in their file but it's commented out.

undone lily
#

Yes that is correct

#

Ecologists it’s because there are ecologists, loner ecologists and Merc ecologists profiles iirc

#

Also you rarely kill ecologists anyways

#

For the Gauss, I need to revamp it so it dead electric damage

shadow hull
undone lily
#

That’s why the diversity is big

#

Just like Monolith they have both WP and NATO guns

shadow hull
#

I might relook at it to see if the loner varietys use loner guns and the merc variety use merc guns.

undone lily
#

Yes they do don’t worry

shadow hull
#

See if you thought about consistency lol

undone lily
#

As I said, each entry in that file is hand made

#

And I made specific and different WP and NATO profiles for each faction

shadow hull
#

Yeah, that would explain the large variety then if ecologists basically just have a portion of the loner and merc pool included in theirs.

undone lily
#

Based on gun recoil profiles etc

shadow hull
#

Also how did you decide what guns from vanilla to remove?

undone lily
#

For instance ISG uses 7.62x51 most of time

shadow hull
#

I'm assuming redundant cases where the guns are essentially the exact same.

undone lily
#

Then decided what should be the trimmed list

#

Then adjusted guns stats of the remaining ones to give guns some kind of progression

#

I’ll revamp recoil profiles at some point and give them more variety

shadow hull
#

Like, vanilla anomaly has like 9 different l85's or some shit alone and BaS has three more lol

#

So it looks like you only kept the BaS ones.

undone lily
#

Yes I just kept 2 bas ones in 0.9

#

The tactical one and the normal flat one

shadow hull
#

Yeah, you have the m1 m2 and m3 ones.

undone lily
#

In 0.9 there’s no m1 anymore

#

Since I kept 4 sigs models

#

(552, 550, 550 with handle and 550 with laser and canted sight)

shadow hull
#

Wait, what is the latest version?

undone lily
#

Not released yet

shadow hull
#

Ah ok.

undone lily
#

Releases on Sunday

shadow hull
#

I wasn't sure which one I was playing.

undone lily
#

RC3.2

shadow hull
#

Ok yeah.

undone lily
#

Which is like 0.8

shadow hull
#

Gotcha.

undone lily
shadow hull
#

So you cut out the m1 because it was redundant?

undone lily
#

Yes

#

I don’t want too many of the same guns

shadow hull
#

Makes sense, it is very bloated.

undone lily
#

I think there’s too many sigs, but each one is different so that’s good

#

Also reorganised AUG

shadow hull
#

Yeah, there are a lot of AUG's.

undone lily
#

There’s only 2 now

#

Normal aug and F90

#
  • the smg 9x19 one
shadow hull
#

I think some of Nimbles firearms are also in here.

#

What does he do in Gamma, I haven't run into him yet.

undone lily
#

Yes, depends

shadow hull
#

His whole point in vanilla was he had a list of unique firearms.

undone lily
#

He sells sights, upgrade packs and also trade guns for other pimped models

shadow hull
#

Ah ok, so he is still a pretty specialized vendor.

undone lily
#

Yes

#

Gun modification master

#

As it should

shadow hull
#

Do you happen to know which of the ecologist ranks are the ones belonging to the loner and mercs, I wanna see if I can trim the fat and see what the actual eco boys carry.

#

Because if they drop by like 50 fire arms then Monolith dominate by a large margin.

#

ecolog_stalker_primary, ecolog_merc_primary I'm assuming it's these two.

#

ecolog_experienced_primary, ecolog_master_primary, ecolog_nstalker_primary, ecolog_stalk_seva_primary, ecolog_novice, ecolog_master
And I guess these might be the actual ecologists though maybe ecolog_stalker and ecolog_trainee might be switched.

#

Actually maybe I can tell based on the armors they can have.

shadow hull
#

Actually, I'm not sure where to check which models fall within which category, I thought looking at death outfits would work but it turns out it doesn't lol.

I think you are aware of it?

I think I know how to do it it doesn't sound complicated just give me 5mins

bronze wharf
#

Yeah i know it for stalker anomaly

#

But not for stalker gamma

prime crane
#

go into your gamma mod organizer and look for PDA Radio Extended

#

you can use that mod as a base since it does excatly what you want

bronze wharf
#

Hmm alright!

#

I will give it a try

prime crane
#

you would need to turn the music you want to add into a .ogg

#

and make a playlist folder in that mod

bronze wharf
#

Also

#

To i need to like

prime crane
#

in the mod theres a file called radio_zone_fm.ltx you would need to edit that to add another playlist

bronze wharf

well what do you need to know then its pretty much that

question about GAMMA's ballistic system (looking at RC 3.2, not gonna update to 0.9 for now cause other reasons)
I am tinkering with adding some new bullet types (thinking of weapons which just have one or two bullet types)

what mods should I look at outside of these three in terms of function/balance ?

#

(and Arti's ammo maker for crating these new bullets later on)

#

should I just look into new values of the ammo from there to come up with something new, or should I look at something else as well in order to create new balanced ammo for GAMMA ?

yes i know

but it's there, those are almost redundant

#

I think

past barn
#

The _16 are for 16:9 screens, the regular is for 4:3 screens. Some mods may have _21 (I think) for 21:9 displays. A lot of the regular ones are identical to the _16 versions tho (especially non-vanilla mods) but not all of them

thanks both

another question, I am making a gamma patch for this ui mod https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/s-t-a-l-k-e-r-2-hud-by-mike0422 I will share it ofc
It's almost done but two minor things. I need to move notifications of the left a bit up (pic 1) and the npc faction (pic 2) slightly to the right. I found a notification tag in both maingame.xml but changing y does not do nothing and for the second I can't find anything related

Idk about the configs for faction ID, but there are settings for it in MCM settings. If nothing else you could instruct people to change the faction ID's positioning manually in game. So it's only a half solution

thorn stratus
#

if I can change faction id in mcm than problem is solved for me (I am going to use this in my exp profile and I can push mcm config overrides) but what about those notifications?

#

I could only find this in ui_custom_msgs.xml but it seems to do nothing

<!-- /Notifications -->
    <notify_icon x="12" y="700" width="30" height="20" stretch="1" light_anim="ui_slow_blinking_alpha"/> <!-- x="130" y="738" --> <!-- x="20" y="195" -->
past barn
#

What version of Gamma are you using? I don't have a node <notify_icon> in mine

#

I just tried changing Y values for these 2 that I have which seemed like the relevant nodes based on their name but nothing happened: speech_menu & quick_info

#

Since they still appear even if you have your HUD hidden, I guess they're controlled by a different config

thorn stratus
#

I am using the gamma version before 0.9. have not updated yet

#

did you check the correct file?

#

it's in ui_custom_msgs.xml not maingame

For me there are in maingame_16.xml. That's what I checked because it's the file we've been talking about. I only took a quick glance at it so I could be totally wrong

I am manually adding HD.ogf files so that those files also can benefit from the prefetcher.

Is there any way to add armor in trader's stock while using the base gamma economy?

violet ridge
#

I think you can activate guns and armors seperately in the 213- Trader Overhaul (if you do not want the true GAMMA experience) - AGoodSetOfPistol

#

at least that's the impression I gotten while loosely browsing that mod today

#

try looking there first

I know about this addon and have already used it, but a few days ago I was interested in adding armor without global changes to the economy, but the game doesn't display this items like weapons and armor at merchants, but it works with all other types of items

can anyone here answer this for me? I'm trying to edit one of the guns i got in boomsticks and sharpsticks so i can run it instead of having to switch to a better weapon (specifically the Scar) every time i edit it however in the gamma mods and save the edit in notepad, it doesnt update in game??? so im trying to figure out how to edit weapons in game right now so i can edit this weapon and get back to playing. Specifically im trying to edit mag count up from 20 and hit power so my damage increases from 71 to 81. In base anomaly i did this for this same weapon but in that game you can unpack anomaly edit the file yada yada, but i cant seem to do this with gamma for some reason?? any help is appreciated.

@undone lily does the 'gunslinger' update add the mp5 pack too?

if it does, have you checked how it behaves in game? Im sure for some reason the mp5 stutters the game for a sec when you equip it for the first time

at least it did when i tried some time back on a gamma install, of all the gunslinger replacers, only the mp5 stuttered me for 1 sec, even tried on debug map with nothing and only the mp5

Question about anomaly scripts, I ran the unpacker and I have all the .ltx files in _unpacked now. Does anomaly automatically pick up modified scripts from there or do I need to put them somewhere?

They go in the gamedata directory in the anomaly folder.

Not sure if something from gamma is overriding it or what

Yes, Gamma is going to override it if it uses that file. You'll want to search in MO2 for which of those files Gamma uses and edit that one. @thorny dune

@undone lily I'm gonna assume that no one has made a BaS scopes and addons compatibility modpack for the vanilla Anomaly fire arms because if it existed you likely would have integrated it in Gamma.

Fair enough.

past barn
# thorny dune I swear I had it working the last time I played

Whenever you create a mod make a new folder in [your Gamma folder]/mods and place the files there while retaining the original folder structure. For example if the original in unpacked is
gamedata/configs/example.ltx
Then the mod should follow the same path:
[your Gamma folder]/mods/example mod name/gamedata/configs/example.ltx

Then you'll see this example mod folder in Mo2 at the bottom, check the box to turn it on and enjoy the result. That way if there are file conflicts it will override everything below it. If you place mods inside gamedata that's in Anomaly, I think those get overriden by Gamma mods upon conflict anyway

Don't edit files that are inside the existing Gamma mods folders as you won't be able to roll back if something goes wrong. Always crate your own folders for custom mods

Hey can anyone help with this? I redownloaded Gamma to fix an issue everything is running great btw except one major thing.

Also in a gunfight with #Monolit Monolith MonkaChrist I was able to shank one with a kukri mind you he was lightly armored but i was able to kill him, and there have been a few times where i HAVE been able to kill mutants and stalkers in game and everything seems fine, but suddenly out of nowhere im now in a big fight and doing no damage at all to any of the soldiers my companions are doing the heavy lifting right now SHEESH! any help would be appreciated (and for anyone thinking its working and im wrong one of my weapons is the gauss rifle and its doing nothing)

yes I tried to change level frame Y value, but I could not find the correct value, basically all I could is to have half compass displayed on the top and that was at y=0

#

negative Y would not do anything. So It's like Y is the center point of the map frame Y axis , so I need the center of this frame to go out of screen a bit and I could not find the way

#

I'll show an example in a moment

past barn
#

I remember seeing a mod of just the compass on the top so it's definitely possible

thorn stratus
#

this is the maximum I can move it towards the top, that is at

<level_frame x="0.666" y="0.001" width="0.000" height="0.000" alignment="c"/>
AnomalyDX11_2023-04-04_12-39-56.png
#

ok maybe I get it, I could change the compas Y to move it further up

#

wow I did not know you can refresh the configs while in game. Imagine me relaunching the game everytime I have to change a hud pixel position and see what it looks like madge1 I might have done it over 100 times yesterday

#

gonna give up for the time being, changing compass element y/x coordinates won't budge it. it sits there at the top with the center point at the screen border as in picture above

shut prawn
#

i would like the gamma updater give a option to export or plot in the command line when it ends witch mods were updated, added or removed in the update operation

That would be good

past barn
#

For example textures_descr aren't refreshed, and probably many other things either, but idk exactly

past barn
#

For me setting the level_frame y to -0.1 works, the compass is mostly off-screen

#

So not sure what's going on at your end. Tho I'm running an older copy of the game I doubt the map configs have changed much since I don't see why they would

#

Keep in mind if you place the compass on the top you'll have to flip the Cardinal points around, as the bottom one would show the player's orientation opposed to the top one. Without that it would say you're looking towards South when you're actually looking at North. Same with West and East

Looking at the ammo changes for 0.9, the reason for cutting down all the AP values by dividing them by 10 was to help with the multihits?

Did we ever find the route cause to the Inventory lag? Its coming from sorting plus but its there a work around yet? Setting categories to default?

ap influences multihits

#

so does speed

so does posture of the victim

so do the cosmic rays too

but cutting down ap by 10x reduced multihits by a lot

it still happens even with way lower ap, mind you

Hi, stalkers if anyone ever made adjustments to scope magnification, please help me adjust PU scope for mosin, that was nerfed from 3.5x to 2x , If possible i would like to adjust it to my taste, and i know about scope_factor comannd, but it make other scopes invalid, so where is the file to fix it? 🙂

it's currently 3.57x

check mod_system_weapon_fixes_GAMMA.ltx @ line 303

magnification is the result of 100 / scope_zoom_factor

@random fulcrum Thanks but it can not be true, because ACOG works as intended, and it for sure is x4, and this scope_pu, shows in multiple files, BAS folder, GAMMA weapon pack folder, etc. and changing scope zoom factor in any of them, or all, didnt result in magnifying change, It musnt follow the same calculation formula as others, or it depends on another file that I did not found.

just a joke

also im sorry for my maybe bad english. Im not from english-speaking country

thorn stratus
#

to fix this it requires access to all files inside those mods, which I don't have

#

what you have to do and only you can fix this, is to do a text search inside the mods folder in MO (MO/mods) use a text editor to do text searches (like visual studio code for example see picture). Search for the word fov_hud and see which mods from those you have in MO modify this parameter. Then disable each of these mods one by one to see which one has this weird value. If you find the mod with the weird value then you know what to fix

image.png
#

you can also just skip the text search and enable mods one by one using a new save

#

and then you see which mod does it

#

so you start with no mods in your modlist, enable a mod, launch anomaly, start a new game see if it does it. No, disable mod and enable another one and repeat

Hello everyone in mod making discussion!

I've been working on a modding course for my masters project and it needs some testers for feedback!
It's "unfinished" so it is not a full length course, and should not take long to do. It covers the basics of setting up mod making tools and starting to port a weapon into the game.

I will be collecting data/feedback which is why I need testers. All data collected will be non personal information and fully anonymized.
All data collected will also be deleted upon project delivery.

The pre-test survey acts as a consent form, if you do not consent to any of the stated above, then please ignore this message.
If you are interested, here is a link to the pre-test survey, which will give access to the course server on discord:
