[paper remnant]

yes but it must be compatible for everyone with basic gamma.

on the other hand in mod 139- Craft and Repair Overhaul - Grokitach there is this line

--==========================< Item combinations >=============================
;[[
; you can combine 2 items you define here into one
; Example: vodka (item from) + cloth sheet (item to) = bandage (result)
; vodka:prt_o_fabrics_4 = bandage
; If you want to combine those 2 without caring about drag-drop order, add another line with opposite set
; prt_o_fabrics_4:vodka = bandage
;]]

[item_combination]
;vodka:prt_o_fabrics_4 = bandage

[broken galleon]

@thorn stratus idk if you solved it already but this is mine on bottom right corner of the screen.. hope it helps

[undone lily]

This is by drag and dropping items

You export to which format and what do you select ?

[paper remnant]

I suspect well. If I put it in the craft.ltx of my mod it can work because it does not work and we can ask for an item number like 10 scrap?

thx for your help

[thorn stratus]

thanks I managed to do it. here is the complete mod #1092850284193136641 message

[broken galleon]

nice, pretty clean, i love it.. i noticed you have falling leaves, what particle mod are you using?

or it's maybe from atmospherics

[thorn stratus]

it's from the Expedition standalone mod. I made a merge of it and GAMMA #1037753021322506240 message the particles are one of the things I have taken from the exp mod

[broken galleon]

didn't know it has that, do they fall from behind you or how?

from front?

[broken galleon]

yeah they just spam around

[thorn stratus]

yep

[broken galleon]

what is that little line on bottom right corner of your screen?

the white thinggy

[broken galleon]

where can i get "G.A.M.M.A. Radiation Dynamic Areas" without updating? I can't update the game yet but i need new water radiation settings

[grizzled gorge]

https://github.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA/tree/main/G.A.M.M.A/modpack_addons/G.A.M.M.A. Radiation Dynamic Areas

[broken galleon]

Thank you, i googled but i could find git with gamma installer only

[rough lion]

How can i modify the durability wear for outfits?

[thorn stratus]

not 100% sure but try to look in configs/items/outfits

[rough lion]

Out of the 376 mods, where is it? 'Cause i feel like gamma changes them in some way

[noble shale]

does anyone know how to change the weapon repair kit to a different one in the game files?

[thorn stratus]

you could simply search for a file or folder using MO or navigate the modlist VFS gamedata folder

try search in MO for this file o_berill.ltx for instance or use the MO executable shortcut explorer++

[random fulcrum]

in the actor damage balancer

it's dumb

but check grok_actor_damage_balancer.script @ lines 501, 508, 518 and 525

your armor takes 7% of the damage post mitigation as condition loss

instead of using the immunity values from the armors

[rough lion]

Got it, thank you!

[celest forge]

ogf, selecting the armature while doing it, no textures from the path, high quality, COP format

[lavish herald]

guys,where can i find ayra's better glowsticks position addon?

[undone lily]

That’s hella weird. Does it work with another gun ?

[celest forge]

Yeah I've exported a couple dozen models

[robust jasper]

hello i need a chernobyl map mod from gamma

[undone lily]

?

[broken galleon]

I imported "runv3.anim", i edited it to my liking, exported and the game doesn't load it. Is there something i'm missing with exporting camera animation from blender, or idk there's something related to the game itself?
exporting it to .anm

[tidal arrow]

did u check "armature" in blender maybe one of the part have more than one armature ?

[echo vine]

Can you guys recommend a good mod making documentation? im looking to learn modding this game, and looking for a documentation that can help me with scripting. not looking to learn models/textures/animations yet. just the basics.

[violet ridge]

[fossil hare]

Can someone throw me a link on how to add default "headbob" animation to items, or explain brefly? Playing with fillable canteens with FDDA turned off, and some of it's flasks dosen't have default "headbob" anim

[lavish herald]

How to make gamma economy?I mean no weapon in sale

[eager thistle]

Get trader destockifier and mcm

and change the setting from there

[echo vine]

when i use "Weapon HUD editor" in debug menu, it either breaks other guns, or goes back to default. reloading save doesn't fix, quitting and restarting gamma makes it go back to default.
is there any reliable way to adjust Weapon HUD for specific weapon?

[violet ridge]

weapon HUD editor is a debug tool for you to get the values to put into a config and then apply that config via a mod (in this case I'd recommend DLTX method)

the changes there are not permament for that very reason

[last walrus]

how can i make the M82 fire 50 bmg ?
it's in the game, there's the stats, there's everything but how do i make it fire 50 bmg ?

[blissful lake]

I know it will sound kinda cringe but would anyone be interested to make a soundtrack mod with fallout 4 ost? I really like some of the vanilla tracks, not a fan of the extra ones in gamma, and some of the inon zur are just perfect for exploration

[random fulcrum]

change ammo_class to whatever 50 is called ingame

[last walrus]

where do i find the ammo class of the barrett M82 ?

[random fulcrum]

the gun's definition?

[last walrus]

where ?

ik the gun's name is wpn_m82

but idk where it is

[last walrus]

where do if find the file of the m82 i found several different files that end up crashing my game if i change all of them

[celest forge]

That might be packed into the base anomaly files

Is .50 BMG even sold in GAMMA

Or like

It spawns naturally?

[random fulcrum]

no

neither

but i mean

ammo_class = ammo_50_bmg, ammo_50_bmg_bad, ammo_50_bmg_verybad```

[elder kiln]

ok, im trying to find a mod or mods that gives a rework to the outfits and player model, i found one called DUX'S INNUMERABLE CHARACTER KIT, will it work on the current version?

[celest forge]

Then it's not as simple

You'd have to make the item appear on traders and stalkers

[shadow hull]

Anyone know if the following weapons were ever used in Anomaly / Gamma at one point or maybe another version of the game and if so where could they be acquired?
wpn_ak74_rpk
wpn_ak74m_pka
wpn_colt_kimber
wpn_fort17
wpn_pkm_zulus
wpn_pm_actor
wpn_thompson_1921
wpn_toz34_mark4_23

[random fulcrum]

it's like 1% more "complex" since you can just dltx through everything

it won't even reach 1kb

[shadow hull]

Anyone know why the BaS PM's and PB's have a broken draw animation lol?

[thorn stratus]

trying to code a lua script and I need to create a time stamp and save it in a variable, is this the function time_global() ?

[steady apex]

It's the time in ms since the game launch

[last walrus]

i have no idea where u found it but thx kind person
have a kiss

[broken galleon]

does anyone know what line dictates area of impact on anomalies?

[thorn stratus]

I don't know on top of my head, but i you extract all the anomaly files. There is a bunch of ltx files in configs with anomaly names

I have seen properties defined there, liked damage and maybe radius

Text search in folders most of the time is all you need to find what you looking for

[broken galleon]

i found absolutely everything except that hahaha

im dying here

i did that through notepad++

every possible line that could do that has no effect

[thorn stratus]

I though I saw something like that, I might remember wrong then

Try search for anomalies like electra, fruit punch

[broken galleon]

for example: even when i lower tele_height to 5 it doesn't lowere the suction point

;параметры телекинеза для зоны
throw_in_impulse = 2000
throw_out_impulse = 1500
throw_in_impulse_alive = 600
throw_in_atten = 1
blowout_radius_percent = 0.6
actor_blowout_radius_percent = 1.6
tele_height = 10 ;1.5
time_to_tele = 7000
tele_pause = 4000

[thorn stratus]

They have 2 area of damage for instance. Outer areas small dmg and inner area spike dmg

[broken galleon]

this is springboard anomaly btw

[thorn stratus]

I see

[broken galleon]

okay that i didn'y realize

i thought it's jus one sphere

[thorn stratus]

I am just speculating

[broken galleon]

aha

hit_impulse_scale = 0.1
effective_radius = 1.1

also doing nothing to area of impact

[thorn stratus]

They do however, electra when you are near it sucks your health slowly but if you get in the center of it you get the spark damage that is a spike dmg

[broken galleon]

I will check that, thank you for responding

[thorn stratus]

any good editor for Direct Draw Surface files (.dds)? I am trying to edit one with Xn View MP but when I save it it messes up for some reason

[past barn]

Paint.NET or Gimp. I prefer the former as it's much faster at saving them. For editing I'd convert them to PNG and edit with something else, unless you only want to move parts of the texture around because they're quite limited at editing. Once you're done, open the PNG and export as DDS again. When you do that , make sure to select this option in Paint.NET to eliminate compression artifacts. Or pick DXT5 from the top but that might introduce weird discoloration sometimes

[thorn stratus]

I figure out GIMP can do it however I do not know how it will save the changes. It ask me compression now

[thorn stratus]

which compression should I use, they are all DXT5 it seems

and also format

I hate graphics 🤣

I tried them all and this one worked

for reference

I edited one of those ui hud dds files

[past barn]

For GIMP I use "None" for compression, and "Default" for format, since idk what any of these are XD I use DXT5 if the textures are large since that can save lots of space, and interestingly in that case it doesn't seem to produce discolored compression artifacts

[hasty comet]

Papa grok, lets say that a "stalker_dolgexo_4_gp7b" type NPC takes damage, where are his specific body part damage resistance values listed?

Since I cant edit models with my low sk1lls, it would be nice to know if they lead to some simple ltx file that I could edit for all NPCs with generic changes like +0.3 armor to each torso etc..

[thorn stratus]

when I open inventory I want to show up main hud health, stam, rad and psy. Which xml file control these hud elements?

[undone lily]

so these are the "profiles"

now you need to know which model has which profile....

this you can find in each ogf

[hasty comet]

Isnt this the same as in damages.ltx already? or is this file read separately as-is by current gamma?

[surreal gust]

those mistakes that i made never paid off

[undone lily]

this one points for each NPC profile, the section to look for in damages.ltx

[hasty comet]

Ooh okay! so, to which file path I put this file after editing?

[undone lily]

if you go to DICK addon and open any NPC ogf there, for instance: 1_1.ogf, you can find in there with notepad++ "models\capture\stalker_novice.ltx"

[stalker_novice]
bone_profile = body_damage_0011
head_profile = head_damage_00
hit_fraction_npc = 0.9
ap_scale = 0.9

[hasty comet]

My gamma MO2 finds nothing with DICK in the search bar

[undone lily]

that's the defense profile in my ltx file

[undone lily]

Dux Innumerable Characters Kit

[hasty comet]

So should I edit this or damages.ltx?

[undone lily]

depends

damages.ltx will change globally for all models having body_damage_0011 for instance

[surreal gust]

im losing my sanity

[undone lily]

change my ltx file will change for all models having the profile stalker_novice

which is at a smaller granularity

because it's per faction

and category per faction

let's say you want to make monolith more tanky: edit my ltx file and give these NPCs better armor sections

[hasty comet]

And where do I place the file when edited and ready? 🙂

[undone lily]

the perfection would be to check all categories of all models and fix them manually but its a pain

[hasty comet]

Aaah, so inside Gboobs!

[hasty comet]

thank you again! Maybe I'll buy more cat restaurant meals, this saved me a lot of pain in the ass

[cinder herald]

Would be great if someone made a mod where use of weapons is prohibited in a base or area. To avoid gunfights between factions where everyone is resting by a campfire. Like the Continental from the John Wick movies

[hasty comet]

tbh I feel there is no such place as safe as the Continental hotel in the Zone.

Your best bet might be CNPP if you are monolith, the army base near Agroprom if youre military, army warehouse base if youre Freedom or 100 rads if youre Duty.

merc, loner and main eco bases arent that well defended.

Clear sky actually has a pretty safe base. Never seen hostiles attack the place itself, due to all the forcefield and shrubbery around it.

[thorn stratus]

does anyone knows how I can access the inventory gui to show/hide some parts of it?

in the same fascion as ActorMenu.get_maingame()

[broken galleon]

@thorn stratus this mod has what you need, prolly it will be easier to locate it like this then to dig on all game files

awesome mod but for some reason it kills my fps, but when i open inventory fps is back to normal

weird

[thorn stratus]

thanks I'll have a look, is this the one in gamma default?

I am making a truly dynamic hud so I was experimenting on features

[broken galleon]

It's not in gamma

[cold flame]

anyone know hot to delete the magnifying effect on the menu buttons? i know it has to be in this part of the .xml but for the life of me i cant figure it out, deleting the mention of magnifier just crashes the game and changing values to 0 aint it either 🤔

apparently its as easy as deleting ui_magnifier2 in the .xml lmao

[hasty comet]

your menu looks kinda goofy

[cold flame]

i like it a lot

[broken galleon]

CoD flashbacks

[regal bolt]

call of gamma

[shadow hull]

So I'm trying to create a magazine the m60 uses instead of it just using raw ammo from the inventory but for some reason I cannot get it to accept the modified mag I used and that mag also will not use its description or name in the text file. Anyone know what I'm missing or messed up on?

[cursive ether]

did u mamage to export it? make sure all the bones are assigned to a bone group

[molten surge]

Hey guys I'm trying to put together an UI prompt similar to what is displayed when you create an stash with a backpack and you can name it, anyone remember a mod that already does that or were I can take a look in the SDK?

nvm I found it

[acoustic grove]

has anyone ever fucked with making "dynamic" soundtrack for gamma? more or less like we had for cs and coc but with a bit more specifity. each faction and faction rank and each mutant type have their own pools of songs

something like that

[broken galleon]

i just did that combat music but this sounds like an epic idea

[acoustic grove]

i feel like it might go against the tone of gamma but i also feel like it might make the experience feel more polished

[thorn stratus]

normally combat music it ends up being muted after a while tbh. I haven't played a game, especially fps, where I felt I had to do that to keep sanity

[acoustic grove]

yeah like the classic combat music and you dont know wtf just aggrod you for 5 minutes

haha

[thorn stratus]

now JRPG or RPG combat music is another story

[acoustic grove]

it gets jarring for sure

[thorn stratus]

yes also combat music has the issue of spoiling the aggro for you

nah - dismissed

[acoustic grove]

understandable

[thorn stratus]

I mean, take cyberpunk 2077 I hate when the combat music starts to kick in. at the end of the day is always the same tune. makes every combat encounter a deja vu

[acoustic grove]

i feel like to pull off dynamic soundtracks like that you really need a team of really talented people to make complex shit like

[thorn stratus]

but the tune itself I like it

[acoustic grove]

layered music kinda like portal 2 had

where depending on the event or the intensity of the event the main ambient background track changes accordingly

instead of a completely separate track

but idk how hard that is to implement so idk what im talkin bout

[thorn stratus]

combat music goes well for games that have no fast paced action, like turn based or rpg or whatever. take this game for instance, I played mostly for the music and the sound design https://youtu.be/yBEUwkvNbks?t=50

[acoustic grove]

ah man i fucking love that ost

thats the shit

[thorn stratus]

I realized that the only reason I was staring at those simple maps (well beside the cool gameplay even if simple) was the enjoyment of hearing the music and those sounds like guns, or any sound actually.

[broken galleon]

This is so damn good

i need moar

[thorn stratus]

that game was free on epic GS a while ago

that is why I played it. was good fun

so I made a Dynamic HUD with BHS support https://youtu.be/WnILey5N4Gg

is coming along pretty well, still wip

[broken galleon]

Noice!

is it tied to that hud specifically?

[thorn stratus]

Now I want to toggle the mimimap dynamically but I don't know how

it' depends on the original (grok) BHS mod and has also dependencies with the Stalker 2 HUD mod but I am going to remove this latter one

both main hud and BHS hud are dynamic

[broken galleon]

That would be awesome

[thorn stratus]

if you get damage health shows up and stays on for 15 seconds

[broken galleon]

finally i can play no hud and get one when it's necessary

[thorn stratus]

if you get limb damage the BHS shows up and stays there until you heal limbs

rad bar shows up as soon as you take rad damage, same with psy

stamina shows up when you are below 70%

[broken galleon]

How you thought going about this? what would cause the map to show?

[thorn stratus]

There will be an mcm menu and one can customize all these thresholds and behaviour

[thorn stratus]

I want to hide the map when in fight regardless of toggle and show the map when out of combat if has been toggled on

[broken galleon]

love it

[thorn stratus]

you can always hide the map with the key toggle. so map off no dynamic, map on dynamic with that behaviour

save with BHS you can choose to have it dynamic or not dynamic with H key

took me an afternoon, just did it for a challenge

[broken galleon]

I'm experimenting with different versions of gravitational anomalies, hope this leads somewhere

[thorn stratus]

`fuck

but how would you use it? would be cool if during a surge all things would start to flip around

[past barn]

So the relevant pieces only appear when they aren't 100%, health for example? That's pretty neat

[thorn stratus]

I haven't decided all the rules and thresholds and behaviour but everything is possible now that I have all the code in place, just need to change some constants

right now health bar is fully dynamic, even if at 20% it will hide after 15 seconds

but maybe I put a lower limit, not sure

[broken galleon]

i don't know programming at all but i'm trying to learn how these things work.. I can create visuals for almost any anomaly you can imagine but that code is eating me alive..

[thorn stratus]

the BHS will hide only if you heal limbs, but there is a caveat it will consider limbs healed even with temp health but I wanted to disappear when it's white healed and I don't know yet if it can be done

[broken galleon]

I'm in love with that whole soundtrack

so F good

[jagged radish]

Did your anomalies mod get released yet? Your preview video was really cool!

[thorn stratus]

when can we add plasmids?

[broken galleon]

nah man still fighting with it, sorry

[thorn stratus]

would be possible to spawn these effects below/near actors? like when shooting npc or mutants with a gauss rifle?

trying to come up with ideas 🤣

[broken galleon]

My brother thought of an artefact that you can throw and it explodes on impact or something
maybe some slow motion field or idk, would be cool

[thorn stratus]

what is your problem, scripting?

[broken galleon]

yeah

i have the dumbs for that

[thorn stratus]

but what problem, cant find the script or you don't know which function you can call/are available or just you don't know how to code lua or programming language in general

[jagged radish]

No worries, take your time man, will be awesome once it's done 🙂

[broken galleon]

don't know how to code lua or programming language in general

i understand some of it

but some parts are mushing my brain

[thorn stratus]

I see, you need to hand over that part of the job to somebody else. like create a team

but give it time, see the what's written there already and maybe ask direct questions

important is to find the script where it starts all

[cold flame]

anyone know in bhs where i can mess with the ui cycling of the health ui on ur hud? basically im trying to see if i can make it so everytime i press H it always cycles between versions of the hud that has the black background cause everytime i put my mask on the hud element gets hidden behind the mask overlay so i have to press H but sometimes i get the hud element that doesnt have the black background and its annoying

[broken galleon]

I'm taking it slow, trying to figure out everything, that way i'll learn and when i'm done i can help others who wish to enhance this mod or whatever

particle.xr is a gigantic mess that's been through hands of many ppl

[thorn stratus]

I have been coding on the bhs all afternoon

[broken galleon]

slowly im sorting it out, along with its textures and everything so ppl in future have more understandable ground

[thorn stratus]

the script to look at is zzz_player_injuries.script

[thorn stratus]

that mod you are doing is cool and unique so the wait is going to be worth it anyway

[broken galleon]

i'm doing audio too so that's +time

[thorn stratus]

particles.xr it's a bit an obstacle due to the obscure sdk and the niche know how required

[cold flame]

yee found it, already tried making so it cycles always to hud 2 but no sauce, changing the values doesnt actually change out it works it still cycles between no hud > hud with no black background > hud with black background, any tips?

[thorn stratus]

my code is different there, like there is no hud 1, I don't know now if I deleted or where I took this version of this file. My customization is where I added a new flag (selected_hud) that I can check in the part where I open the inventory to show or not show the BHS hud

one of the changes I did was that opening the inv will show the bhs regardless

I don't know what the show_hud = 1 does, which hud part is that?

yes I completely got rid of the show_hud = 1 logic. no idea why lol

but what I am trying do to works like a charm

I am building a fully dynamic hud

[cold flame]

are you basically making it so the psy bar and fire mode always show up when inventory is open?

[thorn stratus]

ok I understood already what you are trying to do

[cold flame]

oh shit, dynamic hud for stalker? now thats interesting, will it be customizable and whatnot?

[thorn stratus]

yes

[cold flame]

SICK

even tried deleting one of the lines but it still cycles thru the 3 states even tho it should only cycle thru 2 ffs

even deleting the entire code the game still cycles thru all 3..... i give up lmao

[thorn stratus]

this when getting damage on health and limbs, health bar will appear everytime you take damage and disappear after tot seconds (15). bhs hud will show up when limbs are damaged and stays on until limbs are fully healed (white)

[thorn stratus]

        if showtexthud>0 then
            healthstatus=not healthstatus
        else
            if show_hud_type==0 then 
                show_hud_type=2 
                selected_hud_type=2 
                show_hud_change_time=time_global()
                dynamic_bhs_hud_on = false
                printf("______________________________________________________DYNAMIC BHS OFF") 
            elseif show_hud_type==2 then 
                show_hud_type=0 
                selected_hud_type=0 
                show_hud_change_time=time_global()
                dynamic_bhs_hud_on = true
                printf("______________________________________________________DYNAMIC BHS ON") 
            end
        end

have you tried just cycling between 0 and 2?

this is when getting rad damage. From clear HUD, rad bar, health and stamiina bar will show up because they get damaged

consuming stamina, the bar will appear after a certain threshold (60%)

[cold flame]

i tried deleting the entire code and it still cycles thru all 3, i was expecting a crash tbh but nope it still worked as per usual so idk what up with that lmao
also damn that is looking nice, will it only be compatible with that s2 hud or bhs hud will work too?

[static nebula]

sorry to @ you again, but am I able to animate in 60 FPS? or should i keep it at 30. I can do either but I'm more used to 60 lol

[thorn stratus]

I don't know, I probably keep the bars as they are and the BHS HUD. I am trying to also remove any dependency from the S2 HUD and be just dependent on the base BHS HUD (not the gamma minimalistic)

I don't see the point of the gamma minimalistic making dynamic, what would you hide? the whole thing? you can already do that by pressing H. here at least everything is separated and bigger so it makes more sense to hide these elements

[cold flame]

i guess you could alway choose to autohide the different limb health elements and the doll itself only showing them on screen when theyre damaged same for radiation bar and stamina bar, would probably look a bit shit if the black background was enabled
whatever you end up making definitely looking forward for a release of this, apart from the autohide feature for the stamina bar a dynamic hud is something i havent seen yet in stalker so im definitely stoked for this, keep it up bud

[cursive ether]

yea u can, just make sure that the anims are set to play at 2x speed in game

this can be done in the ltx file

[broken galleon]

@thorn stratus I f***** did it!

new anomalies incoming

[thorn stratus]

cool

[broken galleon]

i can finaly continue working

[jagged radish]

Woo!

[broken galleon]

dust should be maybe a bit more grayish

Visible only if you pay attention to your surrounding
Slows you down drastically on impact
blurred vision

zero health damage

meant only to f you up when you least expect

running from mutant or something

thinking of putting small psy health impact or just plain rad

[cold flame]

my body is ready, that looks awesome

[broken galleon]

https://tenor.com/view/bow-nick-cage-nicolas-cage-the-unbearable-weight-of-massive-talent-greetings-with-respect-gif-25135524

[jagged radish]

that is so cool, can't wait, also, are you using Atmospherics for weather?

[broken galleon]

yeah some old version, but i modified almost all shaders

and weathers

and sun positions

and flying particles you see is also done by me

being called through yawmsnowfall script

[molten surge]

Guys, good morning! is there a way to redraw the HUD if I'm working on a xml without the need of reloading the game?

[jagged radish]

That weather looks so good, It'd be nice if Hippo included some random weathers like that

[past barn]

Enable debug mode first:
#╭📖faq message

Then F7 ingame, then F5 to reload. It doesn't reload everything tho, but it does quite a large number if UI elements and certain configs

[shadow cave]

@broken galleon when gib

[molten surge]

thanks!

[shadow cave]

Sir, pls gib

[jagged radish]

It's brilliant ain't it, have you overhauled all the anomalies @broken galleon ?

[molten surge]

Agree, it looks awesome

[thorn stratus]

cool music 😄

is there a way to override functions of other scripts? For instance if the script_master has a function on_key_press(dik), can my script_slave intercept that function when it is called and instead execute the override equivalent from script_slave?

[broken galleon]

I'm back

[thorn stratus]

seems like the only way is to unregister the callback RegisterScriptCallback("on_key_press",on_key_press) from the script_master and call that functions from my script_slave as script_master.on_key_press(dik) but then I need to modify the script_master and I do not want to. Unless there is a way to unregisters callbacks externally

[broken galleon]

took smol nap xD

[broken galleon]

https://tenor.com/view/only-war-reason-gaming-warhammer-gif-17304554

im adicted to that soundrack

[thorn stratus]

found a snipped UnregisterScriptCallback("npc_on_before_hit", companions_dont_die.CB_npc_on_before_hit) maybe you can unregister callback from other scripts

[thorn stratus]

some days it's on repeat, nothing you can do

[broken galleon]

so far complete Dynamic Anomalies Overhaul, Strong and weak gravitational, added some new ones, some new environmental stuff made new audio for all of them and idk probably there's more i just cant remember

changed properties for some

maybe most

[jagged radish]

flippin heck

[broken galleon]

idk what to do with acidic anomaly im out of ideas

[jagged radish]

oh the green ones

[broken galleon]

yeah

[broken galleon]

when im done with anomalies ill probably upgrade to latest hyppo and SSS, do my stuff all over again and upload it

[jagged radish]

maybe a yellow color? make it more like a nuclear spill or something

[broken galleon]

hmm

[jagged radish]

with more kind of smoke fumes like its burning the surroundings

[broken galleon]

was thinking to completely replace it with something new but i might try the yellow thing first

eaither way there will be space for innovations as there's 3 types of acidic

Anyone here good with blender?

i'm having a problem when editing running camera animation

[jagged radish]

I tried to use the free midjourney ai generator to produce some kind of concept art for an acid pool anomaly but it seems you can't apply for a free trial right now

[broken galleon]

my brother is some premium user or some sht i can ask him when he comes online

[shadow cave]

Bless you kind sir

How can I create extra placeable items? For context I want to add additional gas lamps (or other types of light sources) with different color, while keeping the originals intact. And I want to essentially copy an existing light's properties, just give it a different light color and name to make it an individual new item but all the models and textures should be the same

[broken galleon]

i was thinking today i'd like to add some reflector in rookie village, checked barry's world spawns mod and i couldn't really figure out how it works.. if you know how to code maybe start there, download it, check it, you might figure it out

[past barn]

I have very minimal knowledge in coding so that won't help, I've already tried looking into other placeable item mods. I tried copying the existing lamp's piece of config in items_placeables.ltx with a different name but I couldn't even spawn one through debug

It said the entity doesn't exist, even tho I changed the device name too. So at this point I don't know enough to see what I'm doing wrong

But damn I really want RGB lamps in the Zone

[broken galleon]

maybe try contacting barry on anomaly discord, but he's streaming all the time so maybe go on stream and ask

he'll answer 100%

he/she

idk

[random fulcrum]

barry didn't make hideout furniture tho

[past barn]

Do placeable items exist in Anomaly tho? Idk since I never played it, but if not then Anomaly discord probably isn't the place to ask

[random fulcrum]

no

[hardy hound]

Theres

A guide included

[broken galleon]

ohh you want it like a placable

[hardy hound]

Un hideout furniture addon page

[broken galleon]

sorry didn't catch that

[ornate spade]

guides are pinned here oddly enough

still need to update those for v2.0.0+, but gamma should still be using 1.1.4 so they should be good enough

[past barn]

Right, found it. Hopefully I'll be able to figure it out, ty

[ornate spade]

oh, if you just want to make different variants of the lights, you'd just need to duplicate the sections for the: item, physical object, and light definitions, and change the relevant references in the configs

[past barn]

Can I get away with only changing the configs in this case? Since the only thing I want is the gas lamp model with everything being the same, except the light's color and the device's name I think. Perhaps a custom inventory icon for it

And I'd probably do recipes for crafting and such, but first I just want to get them to work

[ornate spade]

insofar as getting them to work ingame? yeah
but there's also the matter of adding them to traders and making them craftable - both of which are done by scripts in the original addon though idk if gamma changes that

[broken galleon]

can anyone for the love of god explain to me what to change to make anomaly impact area bigger

it is here

and i have tried everything related to "radii"

yet no effect in game

[jagged radish]

Are you a member of the anomaly discord? There's a coding channel in there

They'll probably know

[broken galleon]

yeah i am, i was there few days ago and the guy who wrote the script told me it's in netpackets under "radii"

i am absulute dumbass bc i really can't figure this out and i don't really want to bother him again

but yeah, i can try that channel i gues

[jagged radish]

Honestly people don't mind questions in there, they're a good bunch, Lucy was very patient with me when I was asking questions with my mod

[broken galleon]

she/he ignored my last question so i'm not going to bother asking lucy again

[jagged radish]

Oh really? That sucks

Also I just had an idea for the acid

https://youtu.be/CTVd_WxblGI

This kinda noise with steam etc, the current sounds are very underwhelming and don't give off that dangerous feeling. Something more like this that makes it feel like you're gonna loose a leg if you're in one for too long

[cold siren]

Is there a way so that enemies dont shoot me through Bushes, i Mean so they can not see through them?

[thorn stratus]

I don't think is possible but there is a mod in gamma that kind of cheat the way out

[cold siren]

what is the Name of this mod, would help me a lot^^

[thorn stratus]

I don't know, ask #🔨base-gamma-support or look in the gamma optional mods

[broken galleon]

there's a bunch of those toxic in game so i'll experiment on multiple variants, see which one shows the best

if nothing i'll just edit those gamma default ones

into somethng a bit more interesting

[molten surge]

Is there any documentation I can take a look (or examples) in order to understand how I should be creating the xml for the ui? I’m struggling to make it work all together.

[woven mountain]

What are you trying to do?

[molten surge]

I'm working on a windows almost the same as the one that pop up when you create a backup stash (you get an input and some buttons)

I was able to put that together, but it's been hard to put everything inside the initial background

and right now I can make the input to actually also have the text input inside it

annnd the callbacks are not working, like cancel is not triggering the close() function (but the hotkey press of ESC it's triggering close())

[woven mountain]

gib script

[woven mountain]

My brain too small to understand

@molten surge Do you by chance know how to make a med indicator?

[molten surge]

you mean like the indicators you get when you get some meds for example for rads ?

the small icons at the button?

[woven mountain]

Yeah like code one in to appear sometimes

[molten surge]

I don't but I saw some code about that if I recall correctly, I just starting learning the UI side of the engine, I may be able to help you when I finally understand it :-). I really like your current ongoing meds addon

I'll try to find where I saw the code for the currents icons

look in the script alticons.script

in there you add your new icon into a table and then it gets displayed inside a dynamic ui ribbon alongside other indicators

you might also check any config/ui files from the BHS mod and minimalistic gamma mod

[sick canyon]

anyone here good at blender? i get this error when tryna export to an omf file. this is odd since all of the bones (that i know of) are in the hand_armature bone group

[past barn]

scrap that lol, wtf
Uhm, restarted the game without making any change to the config, and it suddenly works

However it doesn't show up in the debug menu amongst items, I have to type its name in manually to spawn one. I didn't edit the item name and description so maybe duplicates just aren't allowed? Same thing with the _gamma version of this lamp in this regard

[placid vault]

would it be possible to make a mod to give the aks with the side mounts an upgrade that attaches a side mount with rail that will allow them to accept basically any sight or configuration available with gamma?

[lucid kiln]

Hi guys, I am looking to replace all the music in stalker anomaly, I will start with radio tracks, may I have some guidance on where to start. Thanks!

What to remove so it only drains stamina?

-- Liquid Gold, drains stamina and thirst
zone_mine_gold = function(anomaly, actor, distance_to_sqr, radius_sqr)
local change_modifier = 1 - distance_to_sqr / radius_sqr
if not anomaly.trigger_threshold then anomaly.trigger_threshold = 0 end

    anomaly.trigger_threshold = anomaly.trigger_threshold + change_modifier * 0.5
    if anomaly.trigger_threshold >= 1 then
        thirst_sleep_changer.change_thirst_small(0.01)
        anomaly.trigger_threshold = 0
    end

delete the first chunk and leave only from " anomaly.trigger_threshold = anomaly.trigger_threshold + change_modifier * 0.5"
to the end

?

[steady apex]

delete whole anomaly.trigger_threshold = anomaly.trigger_threshold + change_modifier * 0.5 if anomaly.trigger_threshold >= 1 then thirst_sleep_changer.change_thirst_small(0.01) anomaly.trigger_threshold = 0 end part

[broken galleon]

Thank you, i made something out of nogravity and this would be a fine adition

as for changing radius for strong gravitational or any other i gave up

it's simply beyond my skills

[thorn stratus]

Kind of LUA script philosophy question
I am not expert of lua scripting, I am more of an obj oriented language, like java,c++ , guy
I noticed these scripts have no coherence or planning regarding use of global variables and method calls
For instance in one script it's repeatedly called within functions thorough the script, the same static (I guess) method ActorMenu.get_maingame() to access an object and update the gui, while it would make sense to make it a global variable call it once at script initialization and access it during the whole lifecycle of the script
Do these call are not expensive at all as not to require this kind of conservative approach to coding?

[molten surge]

I'm pretty new to Lua too, but I believe one of the main features of it is being one of the faster languages in terms of execution, so maybe it can get away with that? or maybe are just not expensive at all as you said

[thorn stratus]

I guess so but would be handy to have an opinion of lua experts here, well I am too lazy to document myself right now.

[past barn]

How can I add items into debug spawn menu? I'm still working on custom lights and they do work as expected (haven't gone into crafting recipes yet), but I can only spawn them via debug by typing their name in, they don't show up in the visual or text item list anywhere, but they should be in the same category as the regular yellow gas lamp and other hideout items

[past barn]

And why doesn't my custom lamp use the texture I defined for it? It ends up being empty. But the way the default one is used is also really strange since unlike most textures it doesn't point towards an exact texture ID, it only points to a texture file that has a number of different icons in it, with no further references as to which icon should the game be using for this item. I couldn't find a textures_descr file for this icon either

Edit: managed to get the recipe to work by checking out Nox's grenade mod:
#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message
Why the lamp's icon doesn't work is still beyond me

how do you inject a mod mcm menu into the main mcm?

[ripe turtle]

well basically, forgot which file tweaks the artefacts to spawn in at like 10% instead of 100% durability, trying to not break the balance just reducing spawn rates of artes by like 10 fold making them very rare, but more durability... To use with artefact Variationizer (melting them would destroy the stat rolls)

[grizzled gorge]

@whole glen tried to rebalance artifacts condition. #1069279261736845463 message

[grizzled gorge]

did you set the correct kind ?

[past barn]

What do you mean exactly?

[grizzled gorge]

hideout furniture items have i_tool kind which put them into tools category in debug menu

[past barn]

Yeah, I basically copied the existing gas_lamp's kind, and changed a few parameters to not be an exact copy ofc. But I didn't touch things like this

I changed the color, fuel duration and its name from gas_lamp to gas_lamp_al_red in this case, everything else is the same

[thorn stratus]

nevermind I had it already figured out. The mod menu wasn't hooking in the mcm menu because of some errors and typos

[grizzled gorge]

weird i experience the same issue as you on my side, the item exists but not in the menu

[past barn]

Do you have an idea why the custom icon doesn't work though?

[grizzled gorge]

some dltx overwriting this section mb ?

[ripe turtle]

thanks

[thorn stratus]

so numbers read from the mcm menu are stored as string in the script? how do I convert them back in numbers?

[past barn]

Isn't this only for the item1s size in the inventory?

[grizzled gorge]

the icon_texture part must point to a texture file. inv_grid_x & y points to a position in the file while height/width defines the size of that icon.

[sick seal]

can anyone point me in the direction of the software used for Icon Editing? I lost everything when my SSD fried itself and dont remember where i found it before.

[thorn stratus]

I am not sure as I don't work with icons, could gimp be the one?

you can also ask crepis in the italian chat

he has done the icons gamma uses

[fluid root]

gimp works

[past barn]

Wow that worked. Now I see how the textures for inventory icons play out, thanks

[past barn]

⬆️ @sick seal If you're talking about DDS files, here's some quick info for 2 software that I use to convert them between DDS and PNG

the person who sent me the tool originally, just re sent it. so im all set. thanks tho, i appreciate it.

Does anyone know what's the file that controls lurker pelt drops? I think they're much higher than intended

[shy torrent]

Yes, mod 291

Grok installed a file that increases Lurker loot, which also increases its hide drops from 0.05 to 0.14 or somesuch

You can just delete that line

mod_mutant_loot_lurker_more_loot

Oh wow, it's actually at 0.24

No wonder they drop so much

[tacit wind]

thanks bud!

Are you sure it's 291 @shy torrent ? Can't find that line the difficulty.ltx

No prob, we all brain fart

[tacit wind]

I just delete the whole ltx?

[shy torrent]

Anyone tried playing with/understanding how grok_bo_enhanced_recoil works? I'm trying to understand what the numbers mean, but it's been a brute-force approach

For example:

s = 1 ;  1, 1, 2, 2, 3
r = 1
e = 0.65:1, 0.65:1, 0.7:1, 1.2:0 ,1.8:0 ,0.5```

I understand that larger numbers = stronger effect, but not sure what each of the 6 numbers on e mean, or why some have :1 or :0 next to them

I know they affect where the recoil goes, as in left, right, or up, but haven't had much luck figuring out which is which

Also not sure if the numbers after the ; in s mean/affect anything

Theoretically they shouldn't, since they're commented out, but eh, you never know

[shy torrent]

Thanks, I've discovered a few things but others are very subtle

Holy, it makes sense now

[shy torrent]

Oh sweet, sweet success. The fourth value is the culprit of your shots hitting to the sides of your crosshairs, even when doing a quick 3-shot burst.

Even at 0.1 it'll still make your shots occasionally go egregiously off-center, so 0 is the only value that controls it

I wouldn't mind it if the camera/crosshair followed the shot, but as is, no amount of recoil control from the user can fix the bullets going somewhere else

[thorn stratus]

Why not have this documentation as comment in the file. Not asking you to do it , just wondering

[steady apex]

the documentation and the file are done by different people

Hello, could you tell me if there is a mod or a config edit that is responsible for automatically removing radiation from the body ? my friend would like to turn it off

[shy torrent]

Might be either radiation_v or radiation_health_v in actor.ltx, but not sure though

From the translation, might be radiation_v

It has a value of 0.00000001, set it to 0

[eternal sandal]

Thanks so much for the tip, I'll check it out later

[merry ginkgo]

Hey everyone, I'm reworking on a mod that makes stashes rarer in general, this is just a rework from user Grulag, who did bunch of little mods for gamma long time ago.
I personally like this change to the game, makes map less cluttered with stashes, and makes each one of them more unique and exciting, and so I'd like to share this in the mod posting section.
For that, would some modder wizard outthere would be kind enough to confirm this doesn't cause any incompatibilities with current gamma build ?
Thanks a lot

normally it shouldn't, but it's just to double check

[eternal sandal]

well...the description of the radiation_v parameter does say that's what's needed, but I tried 0 and saw no result, 1 doesn't work either
MO2 2 only found one actor.ltx, but a search through the files folder turned up three, is this really the right one ?

[shy torrent]

It should be the “latest” one in the load order, which is usually the one MO2 shows

Might be some script that affects it too, although I haven’t toyed with those yet, so don’t know which could be

Some attachments also decrease rad, but if it’s still going down naked…

[eternal sandal]

oh... well then either I missed something or it's the wrong parameter, although everything says it's right
thank you

[shy torrent]

Np, something else must be intercepting it.

[eternal sandal]

yes, I tried it on the new save, still no effect, neither at 0 nor at 1

[fluid root]

why don't you just create a script that gives rad reduction?

[thorn stratus]

hello, quick question. When a variable is declared global in a script does it mean it is global to all scripts or it needs to be accessed with the script name e.g. script_name.globalvariable?

[eternal sandal]

you were right, there is a file that overwrites this parameter, called mod_system_radiations_GAMMA and looks purely like this, lol

[eternal sandal]

I'm sorry, I'm new at this, and the "problem" is already solved

[fluid root]

[distant bear]

General stalker modding question. Is it difficult to add the english subtitles that Misery had? I haven't seen many popular mods include it, but it was very appreciated as someone who doesn't speak Russian

[woven mountain]

You don't need to declare global, just don't define it as local

Also, yes

[hardy hound]

i think the subtitles were part of CoP

that's why misery showed them

no idea if it's possible to add subtitles to random dialogues/ custom added voicelines

[distant bear]

Is it impossible to take that system from CoP and use it for modding?

[hardy hound]

iirc, if you enable subtitles on base anomaly, the only one that works is sidorovich door when open/close and other little things but no dialogue

[hardy hound]

i think they got broken in misery which then got into last day? no idea about the history of it

[distant bear]

You mean the subtitles that happen during things like approaching guys with your gun right?

Cause the sidorovich door is like a lil bit of text at the bottom of the screen

[hardy hound]

yeah those subtitles i mean

if you mean the message text that appear as a PDA message, that can be done via script

[distant bear]

One sec, I'm talking about something else

Yeah yeah those

Why don't more mods use that script then? It feels like it'd be nice to have

[hardy hound]

no idea honestly, could be too much work

[distant bear]

Unfortunate, it was the one thing I appreciated during my time playing Misery

[violet ridge]

have you tried asking in Anomaly discord ?

it's the best place to ask about the deep code

i dont know if this is the right place to ask, but is there a way to turn off stalker identification in gamma? I tried to do it in the mod manager but it crashes the game for me

with this error

maybe im unchecking the wrong mod

[fluid root]

in game in the mcm menu

and in the ui settings

[dusky lintel]

see the thing is, in the mcm options i can lower the identification speed and targeting lenience only

and turning it off in regular options doesent actually turn if off

disable the mods maybe?

the minimap is too small in the compass ring. You can see the edges

[bold glen]

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/rtx-remix-runtime-open-source-download/ 👀

[thorn stratus]

would it work for anomaly?

[bold glen]

havent tested it yet but def worth exploring

sadly only dx 8/9 compatible

[thorn stratus]

thanks I did not notice. However the mod will be distributed with no minimap instead it will use whatever minimap is found in the modlist. Its scope is only the script that controls the hud and for textures just the vitals bars and the BHS if it is found

[thorn stratus]

but supposedly if is going to look better than just anomaly on dx11, then you can run anomaly dx9 and nvidia remix

Could someone help me make a mod that basically is the same as that world of warcraft quest givers AI voice? But for stalkers?

I tried most AI text to voice but their russian basically speaks russian ( not english with russian accent)

[thorn stratus]

You say that you already made the npc speak the text. So what is the challenge, to find a text2voice tool that has the right accent?

[unborn sorrel]

i love this

lmk when its available

[thorn stratus]

it's out but on the expedition gamma merge profile I maintain. I am working now on making one for GAMMA default and Vanilla Anomaly

it should not take long, just repackaging and sorting out all dependencies

[unborn sorrel]

i tried every hud option since playing anomaly and no one ever got a dynamic HUD right

[thorn stratus]

I don't want to publish my mod with other people stuff inside, so it needs a cleanup

[unborn sorrel]

yeah, no worries, no hurries

[thorn stratus]

I knew it was a novelty that is why I tried to make it otherwise I would have not bothered. there is too many huds already 😄

[tired apex]

yes, they just translate english to russian when I try to use the russian bot, the dont speak english with russian accent. And if I use the english bot voice, it doesnt sound immersive at all in stalker

[thorn stratus]

well what you have done is already an achievement, why are you so pricky about the accent?

[tired apex]

Sounds weird to hear american or british accent stalkers

[thorn stratus]

I mean you could already release this version, it's something, but I understand why you want to achieve perfection. I do as well with my mods

does this works with some online service?

[tired apex]

I need to finish my university thesis first, then ill release it

[thorn stratus]

or it is offline?

[tired apex]

i use Elevel Labs to do the text to speech

Elevenlabs *

[thorn stratus]

yes does it happens (the translation) in realtime?

[thorn stratus]

what I mean, when I talk to an npc an http request is sent to a web service and it will send you back the audio?

[thorn stratus]

or you simply translate all text generate all the audio and then package it in the mod?

[tired apex]

no, I dont know how to do that

[tired apex]

yes, but text costs money to be made into speech and there is lots of text in those quests

[thorn stratus]

you right sounds bad, feels Todd Howard is speaking to me

[tired apex]

haha i told u

[thorn stratus]

Sidorovich new face

[tired apex]

I would cost me 5 euro to buy a 1 month subscription to elevenlabs then I could use a Voice cloning tool that I could feed Sidorovich voice so it learns his voice

[thorn stratus]

I was actually asking that, maybe you can train a model

[tired apex]

or 21 euro for 100,000 characters per month included (~2hr of generated audio)

yes you can train a model and it would be amaznig

if only I wasnt a poor student, I would invest into this

or if I could make money out of selling the mod as people do with Skyrim mods

[thorn stratus]

or maybe there is already some other service that has trained a model with russian/english speech

[tired apex]

or minecraft

maybe

but i couldnt find it

they all sound really bad

compared to this

[thorn stratus]

you probably need more time to research into this, I mean in finding some other text2voice server with accents

[tired apex]

do you know an app that can record the sound from a browser?

I found a decent russian accent AI but they dont allow me to download the file

windows used to have a "recorder" app but i cant find it anymore

[thorn stratus]

Not on top of my head. Need to search for it

[thorn stratus]

Maybe you could record the desktop video and then with a video editor extract the sound track

[tired apex]

What do you think of this

RecExperts (i used that )

[thorn stratus]

Uhmm not really clear. I am with a phone though

[pallid osprey]

Can anyone tell me if there's a mod that completely randomizes aslans lottery?

[thorn stratus]

nice npc models

this speech is good enough I think, it's all about getting used to it

[hardy hound]

i don't think theres any for now

all of aslan lottery is defined inside a mlr file and not randomized

[dapper dust]

!minimodpack

[craggy jewel]

Is that supposed to be Ela

[hardy hound]

yeah it's a ela model from r6

[neon cove]

hey guys, i know its "cheaty" but is there a mod/way to increase the carry weight to a higher specific value?
been looking everywhere online but everything i find is outdated

is there like a file that i can edit or something?

[dapper dust]

Is there a way to disble the vigilant recycler perk?

[cunning isle]

Yes, you need to modify this file ui_options.script, search for the word weight, the rest is pretty easy

You can set it to anything you want, then in-game, you need to change your max allowed carry weight
Go to = Settings, Gameplay and Gameplay difficulty, there you can move the slider up-to the amount you modified in the file previously

However, please note that if you change anything in the difficulty menu, your Iron Man run will not be eligible for the Invictus achievement.

[neon cove]

Oh shit didn't expect to get a solution, I appreciate you dawg ❤️

[cunning isle]

[strange bobcat]

anyone know if it's possible to add this into gamma?
Specially for the Winchester
https://www.moddb.com/mods/misery-the-armed-zone/images/winchester-m1892

[violet ridge]

everything is possible if you know how to do it

tho I presume the first hurdle is contacting original author for permission to port it

[regal bolt]

not sure if this is the same model/animations, but I've had this in my GAMMA for a while now
the person who posted it on this server deleted it, and probably left the server
anyway it's in .357 magnum, and a bit overtuned for damage, and the lowered position is a bit weird-looking

[strange bobcat]

Yeah i'm trying to add some things into the starter loadout but i'm honestly quite confused on the whole process, I was thinking if that was possible to add into the starter loadout for like 1000 points?

and where would i put it?

[regal bolt]

that Winchester installs like any other mod in MO2; click the button in top left, find the .rar/.zip file, give it a name and remember to enable it

[strange bobcat]

Thank you, now i just need to figure out how to add it to the starterloadout

[regal bolt]

as for starter loadouts, you can edit the mod G.A.M.M.A. Starting Loadouts
look around in it, you'll figure out where to put this:

wpn_winchester1892 = false,1,1000

that should work, but I've not tested it

[strange bobcat]

Would i change that to True or keep it False?

[regal bolt]

keep it false
"true" makes the item go into your inventory by default
"false" means you need to actually buy it

[strange bobcat]

Oh so lets say i wanted to add the Toz94, I'd just have to put wpn_Toz94 =False 800?

[regal bolt]

false,1,800 instead
false to make it buyable instead of given
1 for quantity so you don't have too many in the list
800 for the price

[strange bobcat]

Ohhhh okay! Is there a list of like all the weapons or will i just have to go to the debug and find the name there?

[regal bolt]

there is a list somewhere but I'm not sure where it is or if it's properly up to date
best to go into the debug menu just so you can look around and think about what to include or not

[strange bobcat]

Okay thank you 🙂

[undone lily]

too bad the animations are so depressing 😦

I would love more 357 guns

[strange bobcat]

Yeah I’ve been trying to find more guns to add to the loot pool, not like super upgraded like eft guns tho any ideas? I was just gonna say fuck it and try to add the EFP weapons in

[regal bolt]

how to disable enemies moving like they're playing quake

[fluid root]

sometimes the npcs look like they have really bad ping

[past barn]

I have a number of new items I want to be displayed in a specific order in stashes and backpacks, but currently they're totally random in where they appear. They're sorted as in they're right next to each other but in a random order. How can I change that to make them appear in a custom order?

[fluid root]

sortingplus?

[past barn]

That's what I'm using already since it's built in Gamma. But I want something beyond that, something that enables me to tell the mod to make the new items appear in a specific order. Random example, let's say I want this order for the new stuff:

tier 1 item > tier 2 item > tier 3 item

But currently they're sorted like this

tier 3 item > tier 1 item > tier 2 item

[fluid root]

maybe with the ltx file that you can choose in the mcm options

[past barn]

I need something specific since I have no clue about coding lol

There has to be some established order since the existing items appear in the same order all the time. The function I'm pretty sure is there, but I don't know what even to search for

[fluid root]

in the sortingplus.ltx file you can customize the sorting order and also add new items, maybe you find what you want

[past barn]

It doesn't seem to work for what I need here

[fluid root]

I don't quite understand what you want but the items in the inventory are probably sorted alphabetically (real name or description name)

[past barn]

Let me show you. I'd want them to be sorted like this: red > orange > yellow > green > cyan > blue > purple > pink so they'd line up with the hue spectrum

[strange bobcat]

anyone able to help me install the HD Addon for like mainly the outfits and such into my modpack ? https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/anomaly-hd-models-addon

item_lamp_b_orange
etc...

[onyx nymph]

hey guys. i would like to remove the playboy magazines from the game. i would like to create a mod. can someone give me some hints as how to start?

there is one mod called no_p but it crashes gamma and no one responed in support-custom-modding so maybe someone here can tell me how i can implement the mod into the game? (by modding it myself)

[past barn]

Yeah that seems to work. Thanks!

[past barn]

I don't know how to remove the but changing their icons is simple. I can tell you how if you're interested

[onyx nymph]

YES PLEASE

[past barn]

You have 2 ways to go about it. It seems like the icons are in [your Gamma folder]\mods\G.A.M.M.A. Icons\gamedata\textures\ui\ui_icon_equipment.dds which you can open with GIMP or Paint.Net

🔹 You can copy this texture into a new folder inside [your Gamma folder]\mods while keeping the same subfolder structure, and change the icons as you like them. Open the DDS file with one of the mentioned software and either edit it or save as PNG and edit them in another software if you want. It's a huge file, the magazines are located on the left side around the vertical center. The icon size for them is 50x100 px for each. After you're done save it back to DDS. In MO2 this new folder inside mods will show up on the bottom, turn it on and you should have the modified new icons ingame

🔹 Modify the config file to use a different texture file altogether, but I'm struggling to find their config file so I can't go into details on that unfortunately. This would be a lot more efficient space wise, considering the default DDS is 128MB

[onyx nymph]

Thanks man. Appreciate it a lot!

[strange bobcat]

Think you could help me figure out how to do these HD models?

[past barn]

Idk, never used them. But it's generally not recommended to install HD models as they (apparently) can break save files at some point

[strange bobcat]

ahh okay

[past barn]

What if a mod only has english text but not russian for specific items? Will it crash when the game is launched in russian or?

[past barn]

I started working on the other light sources, and first I only created 1 new. This one does show up in the debug menu instantly, the gas lamp mods still don't even tho they're fully functional. I don't understand this at all

[grizzled gorge]

https://tenor.com/view/math-calculate-confusing-figure-out-gif-6237717

[past barn]

Even if I compare the 2 config files for them, they're consistent to each other so I can't see why only some of them appear

[grizzled gorge]

yeah this is what i'am looking at right know

like .. wtf

@past barn have you tried to make your "gas lamp" child of the altar and then apply your edits to see if it carry something hidden ? doesn't make any sense

[past barn]

I have no idea how to do that XD

What I did is I copied the existing gas lamp's and psy light's config into a new file and edited the relevant lines such as their name, icon etc. The only difference between them that I can see is there's a "matches required" line in the gas lamp, which doesn't exist in the psy light's config

[grizzled gorge]

[device_gas_lamp_custom]:device_light_altar but i don't think it worth testing, it just doesn't make sense. I just don't understand why one works and not the other one

[past barn]

The "device" part of the code does contain this: [device_gas_lamp_al_1red]:tch_junk but the psy light also contains the same :tch_junk right after the "device" section, and only the device section does this

[onyx nymph]

Dude! It worked!! Thanks!!

I did it kinda bad. I have to redo it. But at least it works!

[past barn]

I know it worked You're welcome

[onyx nymph]

I just made a copy of the original file through adding the file into archives winrar.
Then I replaced the file with the new DDS using GIMP and since its already checked by MO2 I had to do nothing.

[past barn]

Just make sure you always have a backup of the original, so you can revert to default anytime. That's why adding stuff as new mods is a better way of doing it, especially because you can easily get lost in what mods did you change that you might have forgotten about at some point. With separate, new mods you can easily keep track of them

[onyx nymph]

Thx sounds good

[past barn]

To make this even weirder, it doesn't work with psy lights, they're still sorted by something else
Nvm I screwed it up, it works

[daring mauve]

Is it possible to make a mod display the ammo type like this?
(my crude MS Paint example)
Basically text only, no icon

[random fulcrum]

yes

[tawny stream]

10/10 would DL

[fathom dagger]

How practical would it be to have anomalies trigger themselves every so often. Hearing an anomaly triggered 30 meters away as you loot, turn out to be a false alarm. Even just as ambience, I notice that gravity anomalies sometimes trigger or make a noise and it usually makes me alert or jumpy. It also gave me this idea

[vale plank]

did anyone fiddle with nvidia remix already? i tried to make it work yesterday but the hook just won't work and i dunno why

[vale plank]

after some deeper digging i found out that remix probably won't work with dx9.0c, which the xray engine is using, right?

[random fulcrum]

impractical

[acoustic wigeon]

im tryna mess with the weight code, its been said before that i need to edit the ui.options.script, but where can i find this file? and if i modify it, do i do it on the anomaly folder or the gamma folder?

bit of a loot goblin

[regal bolt]

you can find a lot of the files via MO2
the thing on the right lets you search your files and folders

[acoustic wigeon]

oh, thanks

[regal bolt]

for me, that file's location is D:\ANOMALY_GAMMA\mods\G.A.M.M.A. UI\gamedata\scripts
so the version in GAMMA files, not base Anomaly

[acoustic wigeon]

alrighty, thanks

[slate latch]

Hey, is there any way to able to buy outfits, while still blocking the option to purchase non-zone produced weapons (like the AK Beard), in game?

[regal bolt]

not an easy way, at least
you could look into the mods that add things to traders' stock, and make a mod that does the same but with select outfits

Wait until you see the released version

[static nebula]

trying to replace BaS saiga animations, this is what happens. when the gun is equipped i cant switch guns, reload, etc. i've checked to see if ive misspelt any of the names of the animations, im pretty sure i havent. what's causing this? (the one with attachments works just fine because i havent modified it)

can send over the files if need be

[hardy hound]

does the console print anything?

i would say, check the .ogf file of the weapon with a OGF editor tool and see if the animation path that it has set inside is the same that you wish to change to, also check the .ltx to set the animations names to the ones the .omf has

[static nebula]

it does not

[static nebula]

i've checked it a couple times, i haven't found anything off
i suppose if you'd like to look over them yourself, though you dont have to lol

[hasty comet]

is ap_scale in bone profiles ltx an NPC's amount of armor coefficient?

or how much damage they do against armour? 🤨

[regal bolt]

how hard is it theoretically to make new items

[static nebula]

any ideas? i'm kinda lost on what to do, no errors or logs or crashes or anything, it's just, uhm, not working

[loud stratus]

I was just wondering the same thing, last time I tried to install it, it destroyed my textures so I had to uninstall and reinstall

[hardy hound]

hey, sorry for late reply

seems to have found the solution, the wpn_hand_saiga12_eft_hud_animation.omf must be inside
the\gamedata\meshes\anomaly_weapons\hud_hands_animation

[static nebula]

hmm, i figured it would belong where i put it because that's how the original was 🤔 ill give this a shot in a few minutes

[hardy hound]

only problem is that the reload goes broken

[vale knot]

[static nebula]

expected something like that, i haven't made the reloads yet, just the sprint/walk/idle/whatnot, lol.

[static nebula]

alright, the issue was solved, now theres one more thing which i assume to be rather easy to fix
the gun is in the wrong place for me (directly in the center of the screen), how can i fix it?

[hardy hound]

probably just wrong hud position values

[hardy hound]

use this addon to adjust while in game the position of the weapon, READ the description of the addon to know how it works and how to save these positions

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/draggable-hud-editor

[static nebula]

awesome, will do. thanks!

[hardy hound]

after you get the positions, i would recommend doing a dltx file to avoid getting it overwritten by another DLTX file that may modify the hud position ( don't know if theres a DLTX file that touches that exact weapon in GAMMA, but just in case)
create a .ltx file named mod_system_zzzzzzzsaigarepo.ltx inside gamedata/configs/
and inside use the
![name of the section]
hud values

something like in the screenshot

[undone lily]

You can’t replace animations from ltx

You need to retarget the animations to the gun or re rig the like to the bones of a gun which uses the existing animations

[sterile tartan]

Apologies if this isn't the channel for this but in regards to the mags redux mod is there mag support for all the firearms currently or just most of them? I have a handgun(vought infinity) I still haven't managed to find mags for. I know its time consuming to design a magazine component for every firearm in the game so I was just curious. Also will there ever be a way to uninstall this mod and be able to load your og save without it?

[regal bolt]

>is there mag support for all the firearms currently or just most of them?
should be, unless your mags install is borked somehow, Infinity has it's mags last I used that mod
you may want to enable "Mags Buyable at Traders" to have an easier time finding one for it

>will there ever be a way to uninstall this mod and be able to load your og save without it?
I remember somebody making a "save saver" mod for mags, but I could not find it with a quick look; it might still be around here somewhere
but even with that mod it took a bit of fiddling
best to dedicate a save to playing with or without mags, not even consider swapping

[sterile tartan]

Ok cool eventually the infinity mags will show up then I did have mags at traders installed but I still haven't found a trader that carries them even up at Zaton where all the gucci shit is. But atleast I know they're out there. Thanks for the reply I'll just stick with the mod.

[regal bolt]

worst comes to worst (and you already reached Zaton, so that's quite the worst), you can go to debug mode and spawn some in

[sterile tartan]

Oh nice ok thanks for the tip!

[tacit wind]

Does anyone know if toxic air is compatible with gamma? There are a bunch of overwrites apparently

[brave badger]

You can convert a savegame ingame into Lua, which is human readable, by CTRL Click on a save. Can anyone point out the code, where the convert-logic is located in the repo?

[vale knot]

If you're updated to latest gamma the strayer voigt magazines should be sold by nato traders

I forgot if i made them level 2 or level 1 tho

[sterile tartan]

Yea I did update yesterday, Freedom base didn't have them but its all good I'll keep looking at the NATO traders. Except the merc ones. They'll be dead :). Thanks for reaching out.

probably just need to increase my standing with freedom if they drop at level 2.

[vale knot]

Can you send me a screenshot of their inventory?

The trader's

[sterile tartan]

yea lemme boot up.

Usually i can recognize if the fixes i added are implemented if the trader is selling px4 magazines

I pressed some button and the cursor / pointer went from I to _

try pressing INS/insert
the one next to HOME and DEL, above arrow keys

[hasty comet]

heyy that did it! Im quite sure I didnt press there before but somehow it had happened! thank you :3

[regal bolt]

happy to help, took me a moment to realize what the actual problem with the indicator would be
que flashback to grade school computer class and that exact same problem

also, there should be a thing in the bottom right corner, says INS (insert) for the | mode, OVR (overwrite) for the _ mode
and you can change that option via mouse click too

[hasty comet]

Glad to know Im not the only noob 🙂

It is, right there on the far lower right corner! wow

Do you know why the OVR setting exists?

for easy code overwrites?

[regal bolt]

yeah, with it you replace things
put your pointer at the start of a line with text on it, and start typing
you'll see that it is annoying as hell to use

[floral rune]

since lore-wise most transaction in gamma are already done via online means, an an auto payment mod makes sense, anyone up to make one compatible with gamma?

according to momo the one that exists isn't gamma compatible

[past barn]

It works with pre-0.9, you could give it a try

[floral rune]

according to momo

so a full compatibility patch then i guess if it already works?

i forgor who made the mod and neither can i find the original thread in mods posting so i just messaged about it here

[past barn]

There might be some confusion here. Aren't you talking about this mod?
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/dltx-unofficial-autocomplete-v4

[floral rune]

yes that's the one i was talking about

Could be momo mistook it for something else or i just misunderstood his messages?

[past barn]

I don't know, he knows this game way better than I do. All I can say is I haven't had issues with it, and haven't seen undoable quests at all

All it does is get you the reward instantly for missions where you don't have to bring back anything to the quest giver

[floral rune]

i'll just enable it then

gotta fuck around to find out, such is life in the zone

[random fulcrum]

hey i'm on the screenshot

okay so looking on this, this mod is a remake of the old autocomplete

this one actually does the thing through scripts

that is cool

and it's also like kinda freshly baked

[floral rune]

So momo approved? Pog!

[tawny stream]

I too need to try that out. It makes logical sense to me. For example, you kill a guy and word gets out on the comms.

[solemn halo]

does anyone know if there's a file that controls how zoomed in or out the mini-map is specifically? For example, the mini-map by default shows the terrain and body dots 30-35m, approximately, away from you (40x30 if using SquareDOV Minimap), how would i go about increasing that to, say, 50m radius?

Use VLC to edit those things and try to match them

figures

[hasty comet]

in trading configs, what do the numbers mean, does anyone know?

Like, for example, generic traders sell this:

steel_wool = 3, 1

does it mean they always stock 3 wools?

or just 1?

or does it mean they will stock between 3 and 1 wool pieces per 24 hour cycle etc?

OOOR, does it mean the wool will be bought by this trader for 3 times its base price, and sold to you by 1 times its base price?

🥴

(ie. are they quantities or stocking chances or price multipliers?)

[undone lily]

3 item, 100% of the time

steel_wool = 10, 0.2

means 10 items, 20% chance for the stack to appear at each restock

[hasty comet]

Haha idk. I’m trying to figure that out. But it was 1411 kbps or something that I saw on the working sound files

And thx. I’ll try audacity

[steady apex]

Don't do too high bitrate to save performance on loading the sound. 192 kbits should be enough, if you can do lower without worse quality then it's better

Hi, I'm trying to remove (or maybe alter the recipe) for crafting advanced tool kit from 5x basic tool kit and scrap metal.

I've been scouring the craft settings and can't seem to find the specific recipe (maybe I'm blind), so perhaps it is located somewhere else.

Would anyone know where to look?

advanced toolkit is x_toolkit_r7. In debug you can check the name for each item

[dapper dust]

Hmm

[dapper dust]

But the recipe and requirments for crafting it is different in game somehow?

[grizzled gorge]

you need to edit craft.ltx in G.A.M.M.A. Artefacts Reinvention, this is the last one loaded by gamma. You can also make your own mod with dltx editing just what you need

oh this one, yeah this is the advanced one. I thought you were talking about the advanced repair tool for some reason. need more coffee I guess.

https://tenor.com/view/coffee-gif-18759864

[dapper dust]

Coffee is bad, mkay

But I get it loll

[runic wedge]

That's on my list hehe

im trying to make somewhat dificult to rank up, with some of the traders, like Sid, cus he's a greedy bastard, but when you rank up to max, you would be able to buy some good stuff, so it'll make the grinding worth it

the early level he will sell you crap and overpriced stuff, but at the end, some unique cool stuff

also making so that some trander, can sell you tools, and some of those even expert tools, locked behind the suply level of course

i want to make that your faction also dictates the amount of rep you need to level up, so if you are a Duty soldier, will bem ranking up faster with Duty traders and so on

but i need to figure out that part first, dont even know if it is possible to do that

[undone lily]

Imo it breaks the balance too much

Just increase ammo parts on dead bodies or in the dynamic loot imo

[molten surge]

Hey guys, do anyone know if there is a way of getting info of who shoot you?

[runic wedge]

I guess it'll depend o how much of the stuff is on sale, it has to be the right amount to be worth buying and to not be op

besides, maybe to be able to buy the "good stuff", you would need to work for it

so it would be rewarding

[regal bolt]

your basic mod should have this structure:

"ModName" folder
inside that is "gamedata" folder
inside that is "configs"
inside that is "zzz_mod_system_ModName.ltx"

that is the bare minimum you need for a mod that changes weapon or outfit stats
change the folder structure according to needs; in case of changing trader stuff, you would have :

"items" folder (instead of "configs")
inside that, "trade"
inside that whatever the applicable file name would be

but also there is one mod that adds ammo parts to mechanics based on supply level: #1063038826878087248
(if you can't access that, I think it's because you're Novice-rank)

also, here's my basic mod guide to how armor/weapon edits work, in case that helps you any
I sure like to keep sharing it here

[undone radish]

I'm trying to make a small mod to change gun and ammo damage, or rather I'm being lazy and adjusting the numbers in each mod that last touches a wpn def. I noticed that penetration of ammo seems to be set very very low, assuming I'm reading these files correctly. Seeing k_ap ammo stats that are like 0.003 and such and then a second stat that seems more reasonable like 0.4. Which of these numbers is the one that's actually used?

And changes haven't taken effect on some weapons for reasons I cannot immediately surmise. It has not worked on the SR-2 guns.

[random fulcrum]

have you like taken a second, maybe two, to realise that all ammo has seemingly extremely low ap but still function as they should in game?

[undone radish]

This was the last mod to touch these files, so I open them up and the hit_power is set to 1, so 100% of ammo damage. And the ammo should result in a damage of about 30-40. 20 gauge is defined in the same file and that has worked correctly, giving the TOZ about 155 damage, being something like 19-20 damage x 8.

[random fulcrum]

ok but now it has 30 ap per pellet

and the veresk has 570 ap

350*

[undone radish]

I planned to divide it all by 10, I just idly wondered why it was set like that. To me it only has 35 pen, 1.0 being 100% armor pen.

not 1000% armor pen

[random fulcrum]

oh my god

no, ammo "stats" as seen in game are flavor text

they aren't stats

check the xml for ammo

[undone radish]

what

[random fulcrum]

be amazed

[undone radish]

what are you on about in-game descriptions

do you mean this? this is junk

[random fulcrum]

yeah those two lines are hand written

they aren't stats

if you change stats in the files those two lines will remain the same

[undone radish]

yeah ik

[random fulcrum]

holy

[undone radish]

these stats read from the files though

the ammo description is junk, this shows the damage of the default ammo loaded in the gun

if I change the k_hit of shrap25, that damage number will leap up accordingly

thus why the Veresk's 13 damage seems anomalous to me because this pulls ammo numbers from the same file and the last mod loaded that touches the veresk's stats is the one that has been modified for 1.0 ammo damage instead of stalker's usual 30-60% ammo damage

[runic wedge]

Thanks a lot for that! That will be helpfull!

[undone radish]

It has damage like it has the unmodified 0.4 or 0.5 hit_power in the veresk's wpn file

and it should not be the case because I am fiddling with the last mod to touch the file.

[broken galleon]

noob question; does .ogf contain texture or?

[random fulcrum]

dltx

use np++'s search in files thing

look for the section name

there's a dltx patch in like the most unorthodox place imaginable that makes most weapons with unique damage have the same as the others

[hardy hound]

lmao

[hardy hound]

if you just want to overwrite without locating the DLTX file, just make another DLTX file and name it mod_system_zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzveresk.ltx

i think that's how you overwrite another dltx with the same section

[random fulcrum]

yeah they're loaded alphabetically

[undone radish]

does the numbering not force them to load in the correct order

[hardy hound]

you mean priority in MO2?

it doesn't matter for DLTX files, since you can make 2 dltx files that overwrite the same section name but have different file names

[undone radish]

not quite MO's priority but all the mods are prefixed with a number anyway which I assumed served the same purpose of forcing mods to load one after another in the correct order and stop something that needs dependency on a mod not yet loaded from crashing everything

[hardy hound]

the numbers are just added to the mod name

[undone radish]

thus why I'm editing mod #78 and not the other two cos logically in my mind it's the last one to load and so whatever is in it's files wins the overrides

[hardy hound]

just for visual organization

im out

[undone radish]

I could've avoided this by just amending them with my own mod, I know that, but the weapon files are spread across like 6 or more different mods and I didn't yet have the will power to pick out each file and copy it over into a new mod. And the quick and dirty method worked for all but like 7-8 guns.

[thorn stratus]

Is this related to the Gamma EXP profile as well?

Lol nvm the link goes straight there

[runic wedge]

Hey, if someone can help me with this thing, those values dictates the value of the traders items? i mean, in general, if that specific trader sells stuff more expensive then other? if i change this value, i can make a trader really pricy?

[thorn stratus]

you can quickly check I believe, by changing the values and in game press F7 and F5 to reload game. you can see the effect straight away

I used this technique when amending the scripts code and to quickly see the changes. I don't know if it works with ltx files

with most of ui xml files works as well

[runic wedge]

cool! didnt know that, that useful, thanks a lot!

[narrow coyote]

can someone remind me which addon makes item description appears not on the cursor location, but on the border of the screen

[gaunt glen]

Tooltips in corner https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/tooltip-in-corner

[dusty thistle]

the only thing gamma needs is a furniture mod. it just makes it home and the rp factor goes through the roof. weapons racks and armor racks to display ur fav stuff. fridge couch bed. u d have a real home in the zone. thats what i think.

( on the verge of taking it out of efp and putting it into gamma )

[fading shale]

I want to try making some mod but I don't know where to start

What should I learn first

[undone lily]

Should actually be easy. But I cannot do it officially and I guess EFP harpies will cry you a river for porting it to gamma

Although I think the gamma vs EFP hate seemed to have stopped as of lately, finally

[fiery elk]

I would adore that. Having the ability to not just have a workstation for your gun crafting to store gun parts, but also a stove to store like food items for later cooking? Including fuel for it? Sounds like such a cool feature.

[undone radish]

thank u. Notepad++ took too long so I cracked open the mods folder in visual code studio and found a file called mod_system_weapon_damage which had the exact values I was seeing in-game. Copied it into my own little mod, renamed it and now changing it.

[simple scaffold]

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

you can change/add items(including guns), NPC (stats and some logic), what traders sell, parts of quests and many other things from just editing LTX files.

Some UI/hud changes can be made from XML edits but any new UI/hud requires scripting.

Simple dialogue and quests can be done in ltx and xml.

Responding to in game events (out side of some narrow NPC logic cases) requires scripting.

Responding to keyboard presses requires scripting.

dynamicly spawning, removing, moving (in world and between inventories) and many other manipulations of objects in the game world requires scripting.

complicated quests and dialogue require scripting.

icon editing can be done with paint.net and reqires more artistic skill than i have.

3dmodeling is done in blender and may as well be black magic to me.

Don't ask about adding new levels not even the anomaly devs can do that properly in the current anomaly version

[static nebula]

dude what is up with the extendo thumb on this rig
i have bigass hands and my thumb is small compared to this lol

[narrow coyote]

what is the DIK_keys for left alt?
i tried DIK_keys.DIK_LALT - but it is not working
apd: fount it. it is DIK_LMENU

[narrow coyote]

how can I change minimap position? I tried to change both zone_map_16 - in 306- Modular Compass Minimap - lifestorock\gamedata\configs\ui
and
201- SquareDOV (square minimap) - RavenAscendant\gamedata\configs\ui
but no effect

[past barn]

In MO2 search for the file on the right side, Data tab and edit that. The same file can exist inside multiple different mods, but only 1 with the highest priority is in effect. And it's good practice to copy the file into an entirely new mod so you can always revert back to the default should something go wrong

Depending on your screen's aspect ratio you'll need to edit different files:
zone_map.xml for 4:3 screens
zone_map_16.xml for 16:9 (maybe 16:10 too) screens
zone_map_21.xml for 21:9 screens, if such a file even exists. If it doesn't, copy the _16 version and rename it if you have a 21:9 or wider monitor

Inside you need to edit the X and Y values for level_frame somewhere in the first few lines of the file. 0;0 values mean the map will be in the top left corner of the screen, and the coordinates control the very center of the map

[dusty thistle]

Hey Thx for the answer. i just wanted to give my 2 cents anyway. i think it would enhance the game a lot and replay ability. not here to draw any hate to either community i dont care honestly. never really seen animosity in the modding community. loving gamma 0.9. had almost zero crashes in 30 hours gameplay. thanks for all the work 🙂

[dapper meteor]

am i able to change or edit how many uses an item has? i want to make it so packs of cigarettes have 20 uses rather than just 3

[simple scaffold]

Max uses is in the items entry in the ltx. Please note that this change is not retroactive to items existing in your save

[dapper meteor]

which ltx? i am brand new to modding

[simple scaffold]

Depends on the item. Probably something like items_drugs.ltx for cigs.

I don't have my references on my phone.

Run the unpacker in the anomaly tools folder and poke around

[dapper meteor]

can do, thanks pal

lmao its for some reason in items_drinks.ltx lmfao lemme find someone making tobacco tea or some 🤣

[simple scaffold]

It is posible that there is a gamma mod that is also touching that file. either directly or via DLTX. you can check for direct changes in Mo2. as for DLTX, well they probably aren't touching uses so it shouldn't matter.

i don't play gamma and havcn't looked at the mod list since fall so i don't know if that file is touched.

[undone lily]

Search for all occurrences of [itemsectionyouwanttoedit] in GAMMA/mods folder

[spare drum]

anyone know of a way to modify the exoskeleton battery consumption rate outside of the game settings?

[wanton ice]

has anyone gotten Morths HD models to work with GAMMA?

[noble juniper]

hey can I make it so that I can sell guns without disabling the gamma economy mod?

[regal bolt]

if you can figure out how to add all guns to the sell list without adding them to merchant inventories, sure
you just have to do that manually

[noble juniper]

huh okay i dont know how to do that :/

[sage relic]

hey guys, anyone know of the Quest ID for "Semenov Research Hunt" Quest from Ecologist in Yantar? trying to complete in debug mode as ive had this derp following me for ages in game

[fluid root]

so I deactivated the mod NPCs stop looting dead bodies. After a while the mission was accomplished

[sage relic]

ahh kk did have a play with that earlier but didnt leave it long enough i guess, ill have another go ty!

[sage relic]

i misread you, i thought you meant as an in-game option to stop looting - whats the mod name?

found it, nvm thanks

[pale rover]

is there a tool to ai upscale .dds files?

[steady apex]

https://github.com/chaiNNer-org/chaiNNer

[pale rover]

thanks mate!

[viscid cedar]

any ideas why level.get_start_time() would suddenly be crashing with access field nil?

[runic wedge]

is there a tutorial or somenthing like that on how to create custom npcs?

[sage relic]

Thanks so much, solved the issue for me! Handed in quest now 🙂

[hardy hound]

check anomaly modding book in anomaly discord server, if you don't have it search the discord in googl

[runic wedge]

thanks!

[light shuttle]

He did not hide the old ammunition in the reels

[spark star]

hi, is there a mod or a settings that let me show my artifact belt on screen?

[spark star]

awesome, many thanks

[restive prawn]

hey guys i need help, so i created a custom outfit with the existing outfit just different stats but when i use the one that i added it doesn't use the model so how to fix this?

[regal bolt]

I'm assuming this is a DLTX mod? either way, for first person legs, you just add this to your outfit's data

[OutfitName_legs]:monster_base, actor_legs
visual = sm\actor_legs\LegsName

you can find the legs in GAMMA\mods\236- 1st Person Visible Body Ported from SWM - Wang_Laoshi & SWM Team\gamedata\configs\items\items\items_actor_legs.ltx

for arms, you want to make a copy of the mod 23- THAP Rework - IENCE
and add your outfit's info there, in the format of

![OutfitName]
player_hud_section = actor_hud_whatever

if that doesn't work, try without the ! in front of [OutfitName]

[random fulcrum]

you can't dltx legs

[regal bolt]

worked for when I did the same for testing bullshit purposes
slapped together a dumb outfit in the same DLTX file I have other edits are, and it worked just right

[restive prawn]

alright gonna try it now

[random fulcrum]

are you sure you're dltx ing legs

i tried doing that when i did the redline exoskeleton

and it didn't work

since the legs mod has a different core script than regular anomaly

[regal bolt]

I don't know what black magic I may have accidentally imbued, but this is the code for what I tested

inv_weight = 1
additional_inventory_weight = 53
additional_inventory_weight2 = 53
radiation_protection = 0.025
wound_protection = 0.888
telepatic_protection = 0.222
chemical_burn_protection = 0.222
shock_protection = 4.4
artefact_count = 4
health_restore_speed = 0.001
bleeding_restore_speed = 0.002
br_class = 0.2

[military_sky_outfit_op_legs]:monster_base, actor_legs
visual = sm\actor_legs\cs3_hard

before I added the last two lines, the outfit in question gave me regular "naked" legs, with the green sweater and all

[restive prawn]

so i edit the legs file but it just change the hand and not the body what did i do wrong?

[halcyon sequoia]

Guys, noob question, do new weapon mods like Arisaka rifle and others work fine with gamma? I mean do gamma scripts work fine right away with new weapons and include them in the world item distribution? Thanks!

[regal bolt]

theoretically they should work; Anomaly guns already should have parts programmed into them
stats may be inbalanced for better or worse, but probably the worst thing will be the recoil scripts
since those have been set up specifically for GAMMA to be what they are, a mod weapon usually will have either basically zero recoil, or way too much recoil

[regal bolt]

you should not change the legs file, put the code about the outfit's legs into the file you made for your custom outfit
at least your hands work now, that is progress

[verbal haven]

Are there any "Dynamic Relation" mods for Gamma/Anomaly? I.E the change in relation is thought out regarding the faction it relates to, like Duty and Freedom signing a ceasefire, Mercs will be generally friendly to most factions unless they have a contract with other factions to fight a faction. Feel like this kind of concept would add to the "living zone"
