[vernal epoch]

and check the hpsa and its alt

[fair inlet]

Isn't there a missing bracket?

[vernal epoch]

my bad

@lilac compass Try this

[vernal epoch]

thanks

[lilac compass]

oh your right

@vernal epoch mod_system_zmaidtype89.ltx so is that an example of a dltx?

[vernal epoch]

yep

[lilac compass]

Yeah wardogs uses them just not for this particular weapon

[vernal epoch]

Doesn't make a big difference. Did the file I send you work?

[idle oasis]

where is Momo

quick someone

shout that gamma is perfect

[lilac compass]

The first gun works the second one is out of position

@vernal epoch Ok wpn_hpsa_hud works great wpn_hpsa_alt was out of position but I repositioned it myself put in the new values and both work now thank you so much for all your help I believe I know everything I need to now to make my own dltx's it should hopefully ensure my edits get used by the game

[vernal epoch]

[lilac compass]

@vernal epoch I should be able to just put your file into wardogs and have it run properly now right?

[old berry]

would it be possible to change the script in doom like weapon inspect to use a different animation for a specific weapon? like for example a gun without gl will use gl animation instead of inspect animation to seperate them, or even a custom animation if thats possible

[vernal epoch]

yea

[lilac compass]

ok thank you

[static nebula]

I'm a bit confused on what you mean but it sounds like that should be possible

[old berry]

basically i had this idea to make a separate inspect animation that only plays when you acquire the weapon for the first time

[static nebula]

oh i see, im not sure in that case. it's probably possible on a technical level but i don't know enough to say too much about it lol

[vernal epoch]

I'm relatively sure that the gun only inspects the first time you get it already

[static nebula]

It also happens when putting on attachments sometimes, or when you just stand around doing nothing for a while

[vernal epoch]

thats because attachments are actually an entirely new gun

so each scope will play it once as well

[static nebula]

oh, that makes sense lol

[random fulcrum]

i'm sure a small tweak can be made to that script to prevent the reinspection when changing scopes

[tacit surge]

Good afternoon. In the process of creating an addon, Repositioning of GAMMA weapons (and possibly other weapon packs). Started with shotguns. Shotguns are about 70% complete
I will be glad if you test and tell me your opinion.

Unfortunately I seem to have gotten a little stuck on how to smartly move the item counter to the top right of the item cell. I tried using align="r" but from what I see that works only when the parent element has static dimensions, but item cells are dynamic.

Does it need to be changed through a script so that I can use methods like self.cell:GetWidth()? Because if so I'm honestly a little lost on how to go about scripting that. I really hope that there is an easier solution I'm not seeing

[simple scaffold]

No x and y cords in that node?

In that case it will probably need a monkey patch to utils_ui.script.atnyhe pint where that node is initialized

[coral venture]

I mean there are:

<cnt x="-1" y="-1" width="17" height="11" stretch="1">
    <texture a="200">ui_item_count_back</texture>
    <text x="0" y="0" width="17" height="11" font="arial_14" color="ui_2" align="c" vert_align="c"/>
</cnt>

But if I change the coordinates it won't be correct. For example for some items it will be in the middle and for some other it will go outside of the cell completely.

[simple scaffold]

local right_margin = 10
local cntr = utils_ui.UICellItem.Add_Counter

utils_ui.UICellItem.Add_Counter = function(self, xml, obj, sec)
  cntr(self, xml, obj, sec)
  if self.cnt and self.cnt:IsShown() then
    self.cnt:SetWndPos(vector2():set(0, self.cell:GetWidth() - right_margin))
  end
end

probably

i have a 50/50 track record at best on lunch break code snippets bot being horibly bugged

but you can see the idea.

[coral venture]

Hmm tried it and it doesn't seem to do anything, no errors either

Named the file like so: utils_ui_top_right_counter.script with the code you wrote and put it in a mod in gamedata/scripts, loaded last in MO2

Am I missing something?

[simple scaffold]

oh it definatly errored, but up where the script was loaded. i just fixed a typo

try again

[coral venture]

oh I see, trying now

[coral venture]

This is how it looks

For some weird reason the counter from the ammo went to the RF receiver

I think I got it, the x and y are just reversed

Now it's setup correctly, thank you very much for the help

Something unrelated to what I was doing, I've made a fix for that nis or "nïs" in some tooltips which is shown instead of this dot: •.
Basically it was a wrong encoding for the script that was adding that text dynamically (from utf-8 changed to Windows-1252).
I was wondering where I should post it if anyone is interested or if Grok wants to know about it too.
The file is called ui_item.script which is included in Darkasleif's and iTheon's Parts Condition Color Thresholds Changes and 116- Dialogues Expanded - indyora.

[simple scaffold]

yeah, those are the kind of mistakes i make when putting something to getehr fast

[simple scaffold]

grok knows about the encoding, might not be aware that those scripts are wrong tho. I try and teach new modders about encoding

[coral venture]

No problem, if every mistake in coding was as simple as that, then programmers wouldn't be so stressed

[coral venture]

Something else too, I've noticed that there is a typo in modlist.txt that affects the aforementioned Darkasleif's and iTheon's Parts Condition Color Thresholds Changes which causes it to not load on the default modlist.
The typo was made on the following commit from what I can see: https://github.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA/commit/152e3439b23bf60fd90929032454bde12bbefa8f

[simple scaffold]

IDK, i don't actualy use gamma and my contributions to it a generaly indirect

[coral venture]

Should I just report it in https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1092834455300866068 ?

[coral venture]

Hmm actually I can't post there, says I don't have permission

[tidal elbow]

What do you need to report?

[coral venture]

There is a typo in modlist.txt that affects the Darkasleif's and iTheon's Parts Condition Color Thresholds Changes mod which causes it to not load on the default modlist.
The typo was made on the following commit from what I can see: https://github.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA/commit/152e3439b23bf60fd90929032454bde12bbefa8f

[tidal elbow]

Okay, I already reported everything to Grok

[tidal elbow]

Including this

He said that he will check everything out

[coral venture]

Thank you very much

[undone lily]

Thanks will fix

[kindred tiger]

Is it possible to modify values of gamedata/configs/items/weapons/weapon_ammo.ltx via DLTX?
I tried this, but it does not work:

gamedata/configs/items/weapons/mod_weapon_ammo_new_box_size.ltx

[default_box_size]
box_size        = 15
![ammo_11.43x23_fmj]:default_box_size
![ammo_11.43x23_fmj_bad]:default_box_size

![ammo_11.43x23_hydro]:default_box_size
![ammo_11.43x23_hydro_bad]:default_box_size

![ammo_357_hp_mag]:default_box_size
![ammo_357_hp_mag_bad]:default_box_size

![ammo_7.62x25_p]:default_box_size
![ammo_7.62x25_p_bad]:default_box_size

![ammo_7.62x25_ps]:default_box_size
![ammo_7.62x25_ps_bad]:default_box_size

![ammo_9x21_sp10]:default_box_size
![ammo_9x21_sp10_bad]:default_box_size

There are no mentions in the game log of possible DLTX errors.

[fair inlet]

It works with simple override like this:
gamedata/configs/mod_system_name

box_size        = 15
![ammo_11.43x23_fmj_bad]
box_size        = 15```

I don't think think it's possible to add another parent section inheritance like you did.

[kindred tiger]

Thanks a lot ) So basically I put the file in the wrong directory? Why is it that some dltx files need to be placed in gamedata/configs/ instead in the directory of the "parent file" and be named mod_system_* ?

I don't think think it's possible to add another parent section inheritance like you did.
You are right, I think I need to do, according to the documentation?

@[default_box_size]
override        = false
box_size        = 15

[fair inlet]

I don't really know, it just works.
And remove the override = false, lol

[kindred tiger]

I found something from the original dltx author

if you were to modify something that gets included by "system.ltx", you could call your mod "mod_system_mymod.ltx"
That, actually, makes a lot of sense.

Why remove override? If anomaly will have that section in the future I do not want to make changes. Isn't it a feature of dltx?

[fair inlet]

override = false
This line is used as an example in dltx documentation, it doesn't do anything specific.

[kindred tiger]

oh ... I see now. It was just an example! Thanks for the clarification.

[deft cove]

what format/language does stalker/anomaly use for code?

[vernal epoch]

scripts are in lua, .ltx is modified ini

[deft cove]

i guess lua is popular for old game scripts?

[random fulcrum]

brasil numero 1

lua is comfy enough

it's easy to use

@vernal epoch
[wpn_yourgun]
s = a
r = b
e = c
p = d

• [s] is the FOV pull effect.

  • It can be any integer number from 1 to 5, higher number means a stronger FOV pull obviously.
  • It can also be a chain of effects linked together, e.g.: s = 1 ,2 ,3 ,4 ,5 NOTE THE " ," SEPARATION!
  • This chain means that every subsequent shot will use it's respective index, e.g.: shot n°5 will use the 5th index in the chain.
  • IF [r] is r = 1 then [s] is chosen at random.
  • IF [r] is r = 2 then [s] is chosen at random but AFTER the first shot.

• [r] randomizes the FOV pull, explained above.

• [e] are the camera movement tricks.

  • [e] needs to have 6 values registered, e.g.: e = 1.0 ,1.0 ,1.0 ,1.0 ,1.0 ,1.0 NOTE THE " ," SEPARATION!
  • These values can be any float number from 0 into maybe positive infinite.
  • Every value in [e] can be have an additional property appended to them with :, e.g.: 1.0:1
  • This property can be either 0 or 1.
  • Not specifying a :x thing tells the script to randomize between the two.
  • First value is the horizontal shake. :0 moves the camera to the right, :1 moves it to the left.
  • Second value is the vertical shake. :0 moves it up, :1 down.
  • Third value is another sort of FOV pull, shakes the camera back and forth. :0 moves it forward, :1 moves it backwards.
  • Fourth value turns the camera horizontally. :0 makes you look to the left, :1 to the right.
  • Fifth value turns the camera vertically. :0 makes you look up, :1 down.
  • Sixth value tilts the camera. :0 tilts it to the right, :1 to the left.

• [p] are additional fluff Post Process Effects.
  • These can be black, blur, duality_h, duality_v, grey
  • These are listed as: effect=strength ,effect2=strength NOTE THE SEPARATIONS!
  • Strengths are always static and go from 0.0 to 1.0.
  • Blur doesn't seem to do anything???

copy pasting ruined some of the formatting

[vernal epoch]

Awesome thanks

[random fulcrum]

wow i got pinned

[deft cove]

well. great. that makes 2 old games that would require me learning lua to mod. heck
think id rather learn texturing first kek

[rare parrot]

anyone know how I can make Spore sell 5.45x39mm ammo? Thanks in advance for any help

[narrow stirrup]

Hello, anyone knows a way to make gasmask functionality turn off and on even when you still having the gasmask overlay?

[static nebula]

Hey y'all, I'm adding some ammo check animations to my reanimation mod, using the same script Barry's SVU reanimation does. It works just fine in regular Anomaly, but evidently has some sort of conflict or incompatibility with something in GAMMA, because the animations won't play when using GAMMA. Any ideas what's up?

the mod for what it's worth

[vale knot]

Ltx file being overwritten?

Could be random dltx somewhere

[static nebula]

My mod is at the bottom of the load order, and it's DLTX, so I'm not sure why it would 🤔

Maybe I'm dumb and am misunderstanding how this works though, lol

[faint sable]

ooh

[vale knot]

I wish i could help but my ass is half asleep

[static nebula]

no worries, im in the same spot right now lol

[old berry]

might try adding a "z" at the start of the name of the dltx file, example: mod_system_z_yourname
it worked for me once

[static nebula]

The config file itself works just fine, and the rest of the mod is working. Just the ammo check animations don't like GAMMA for some reason

[old berry]

weird im using the same script in gamma and it works fine for me

might be that there is some dltx mod that already edits the gun

[pallid yew]

Guys. Please tell me about the work of A-life.
I want to change the relationship between the factions. Make mercenaries hostile to freedom, clear sky, bandits.
How will the a-life react to this?

Will there not be a situation in which these factions appear on the same point and destroy each other?

[thorny hornet]

Someone know if there is a mod that adds something like a Free hybrid aiming?

Like SharpeYe of garrys mod?

How do I add custom devices (#1097591132407476315) to generic traders' stocks? Studying other mods does shine some light on the system but I can't get it to work, and idk what I'm doing wrong

[vernal epoch]

out of curiousity how have you done it so far?

[past barn]

I used the same method as #1063038826878087248 did:

![supplies_1]
device_gas_lamp_al_1red =    2, 1
device_gas_lamp_al_2orange = 2, 1
device_gas_lamp_al_3yellow = 2, 1

The device names are my own from the mentioned lights mod. Just by looking through game files I named this one mod_trade_generic_AL_gas_lamps.ltx inside gamedata\configs\items\trade\

[vernal epoch]

I also assume you've nested yours right?

[past barn]

What do you mean?

[vernal epoch]

If you compare to a mod that uses dltx for trader files, does your file structure look the same?

[past barn]

I think it does

But I guess not, since it doesn't work

There are a lot of other mod_trade_XYZ files for weapons apparently, but they use ![rifles] and such which I'm pretty sure isn't what I need here

I'm guessing the file name tells the game what trader should be edited/overridden, since there's nothing specific inside the files themselves. I picked generic just by assumption

For example mod_trade_stalker_sidorovich_g36rwap_rifle.ltx (from RWAP) has this inside a bunch of other weapon names with nothing else:

![rifles]
wpn_g36c_rwap
wpn_g36c_rwap_acog

[vernal epoch]

Try doing a full trader file overwrite and see if it works? Just on sido or something so you can figure out if its the item or the dltx

[coral venture]

From what I see (and hopefully I've made no mistakes, somewhat new on all this ) you can add your hideout lights to the [furniture_low] category in the trader_presets.ltx located in: G.A.M.M.A. Economy\gamedata\configs\items\trade\presets
This file is included in trade_generic.ltx
So you would name the file something like mod_trader_presets_AL_gas_lamps.ltx taken from your example and in your mod, place it on the same path as the original
And use DLTX on the [furniture_low] category

[past barn]

It doesn't work unfortunately. There has to be something else that's wrong because if I edit the original trade_presets.ltx the items still don't show up for traders

[violet ridge]

what do you mean by "edit the original" trade_presets ?

[coral venture]

Admittedly I just saw how the custom 9x21 ammo was added to traders as an example, so I'm not sure what's wrong

[violet ridge]

as someone who slaved through making a custom new ammo, you could not have butted into me any sooner

what'chu need fam ?

what aint working for you ?

[coral venture]

I was just trying to help AlphaLion with his question, there is no problem on my side

[violet ridge]

rgr

[past barn]

The one that's already included in Gamma. I placed the extra few lines in the [furniture_low] category and nothing happened

[violet ridge]

and what were you expecting to happen ?

that only really puts an item into particular category for all the inventory/trader browsing and sorting stuff

it aint gonna make it appear at traders

you either need to use trader auto inject script (dont ask me about those, I don't know 'em any)

or DLTX each individual trader profile

[coral venture]

Oh, do you need to then add it to all the traders? Because I thought it was included in some of them through this line [trade_generic_buy]:trasher,furnitures_low

[violet ridge]

I have no idea where these scripts import from or on what basis, i am not that wizard into anomaly code/scripts

^ note, that ain't all traders

I think that's just most vanilla gun and ammo selling ones with exception of military and duty

[coral venture]

Hmm, yeah now that I look into it more closely, it seems more complicated

For example the hideout mod adds them through a script

[violet ridge]

having mod file for each trader is a b*tch, but at least it works and is rather clearer to understand than script and autoinjector

or maybe it's easy and I'm just dumb
¯_(ツ)_/¯

[past barn]

I want to add the items from #1097591132407476315 to traders to be purchaseable

What made me believe this should work is the mentioned #1063038826878087248 which is basically 1 file that I pasted in, and it works

[violet ridge]

if you want it fast, then just do mod files for each trader

[past barn]

Corrections, 2 files. 1 for generic technicians I guess, and 1 for ISG

[past barn]

But how and what do I include in those?

[violet ridge]

or very kindly (and without tagging them) ask NLTP_ASHES in anomaly modding-code to explain trader autoinject like you are a 5 year old (note, it's not meant as offense at you, I am the 5 year old too in this case)

;Ammo
ammo_10x25_fmj                   = 6, 0.66
ammo_10x25_ap                    = 3, 0.66
ammo_10x25_hydrashok             = 3, 0.66

;Attachment
wpn_sil_10mm        = 1, 0.75

![supplies_2]

![supplies_3]

![supplies_4]

![supplies_5]```

supplies_1 , 2, 3, 4, 5 denote the faction rep tier

1 being the base 0 rep tier

you can find existing traders in unpacked anomaly DB's

\configs\items\trade\

trade_X.ltx

where X is the ingame name of the trader

to DLTX it, create mod_trade_X_whatever.ltx at the same folder structure in your mod

per each trader

since you want all the traders (or almost all)

to sell the furniture

you can just make one mod_trade_X_whatever.ltx

and duplicate and rename the file till you cover all traders

as for what's what in that file

item = how much of item, chance%
1 = 100% chance

it's caveman approach but it works

[past barn]

Originally I wanted the generic traders only. Like Petrenko who sells misc. stuff
And that's exactly what I did, and nothing happened ingame. Which after seeing all this makes me feel like this doesn't worth the effort at this point honestly. I think we should spend our time on something else instead

Thanks for the help tho ❤️

[violet ridge]

and you can still can do that

you just need to know/figure out which vanilla trader profile belongs to him

[past barn]

I think I was modifyng the wrong file before. Now I added a few of my light items to the #1063038826878087248 files, and they do show up. So yeah I guess I need to find the correct files then

[coral venture]

Yeah here all the trader files, which are located in Anomaly\tools\_unpacked\configs\items\trade

If you don't have them unpacked you can use the db_unpacker.bat in Anomaly\tools to unpack all the text files, takes just a sec

[past barn]

Yeah yeah I know that part :D I have all the configs unpacked for modding reasons already

[coral venture]

Was just making sure

[deft cove]

so if i wanted to animate a gun do i need the stalker player model or somethin?

never animated before but have made 3d models

an what would i need to get the gun ingame an create icons

[violet ridge]

only hands exist in first person view

[opal gulch]

Alternative question:
Do we actually... need... first person view?

Like, there's a 3rd person Camara, is a 1st person 3rd person mod possible?

[random fulcrum]

why would you use it when 3rd person animations are generic for weapon class

[opal gulch]

Oh they can't be changed?

[deft cove]

yeah so do i need those if im wanting to animate?
an where or how do i get them

[static nebula]

The just straight up hand models can be ripped from the files of anomaly, if you're looking for a rig I can link you

[static nebula]

Oh you're in the Anomaly server, if you look in the pinned messages for # modding-arts you can see 2 or 3 rigs there, I use Pavelblends rig for the sake of accuracy but there's some other ones you can choose as well

[deft cove]

thank you, and what texture format does stalker use. dds? and if i texture in substance painter are there things i cant export with it on or what?

[static nebula]

i have no experience with texture work, im just an animator 😅 it looks like textures are in .dds though, yes

[cunning isle]

Where can I download the latest and most complete version of the Stalker SDK?
I want to try and make some new 3D weapon models and edit some existing ones
what other tools do i need? 3DMAX too?

[static nebula]

3dsmax works apparently but blender works just fine and is a free alternative

[cunning isle]

Can i open existing dds weapons files with blender?
Like to edit the actual model?

[static nebula]

The models are stored as .ogf, so you would need an addon to import those
.dds are the textures, Blender can open them but I'm not sure about edit

[cunning isle]

I want to edit existing weapon files, for example to change their color and all that stuff

[static nebula]

In the Anomaly discord there's a channel called "modding-arts" which has a pinned message with links to lots of the stuff you might need

[cunning isle]

?????

[static nebula]

Ok i can't link it but the anomaly discord shouldn't be too difficult to find

[cunning isle]

ok

[static nebula]

If you just want to change the color that shouldn't require any editing to the actual model, just editing textures can be done in any old image editor like GIMP or Photoshop or whatnot

[cunning isle]

But It's really hard, because I don't know what part of the weapon I'm actually editing, and I'm also using my mouse, so it adds a bit to the difficulty
I wanted to load the weapon 3d model to something like blender and then make the texture edits, after that export it to use on the game

[deft cove]

um

substance painter

import the .dds an edit

but have fun paying 100 bucks for that software

[cunning isle]

🏴‍☠️ ?

[random fulcrum]

use gimp and live with horribly compressed textures like a man

[cunning isle]

NO I REFUSE!
I want crisp 8K gigachad textures, like a true monolithian

[deft cove]

substance painter lets you pain the model in real time but im pretty sure you can also just edit existing textures

[past barn]

Anyone knows what the X16 (Miracle Machine) alarms sound files are called and where they are?

[past barn]

Similarly, where are the sound files that play when boars are running around?

[fair inlet]

276- Dark Signal Mutants Audio - Shrike\gamedata\sounds\monsters\boar\boar_idle

[past barn]

Nope, those are different. I'm looking for the sound of their hoofs stomping on the ground as they move

[fair inlet]

Perhaps those? sounds\material\hoof\step\hoof_ground

[fair inlet]

sounds\ambient\x16\klaxon and sounds\ambient\x16\x16_begin, if you still need those.

[past barn]

Oh my god, the alarm files are literally hiding in plain sight Thanks! Do you know where the files are for the announcer that plays alongside these alarms?

First time i've gotten this crash, anyone with a clue?

[static nebula]

Still not able to figure out what's up here. It's not weapon parts overhaul, none of the other mods that have .ltx's for the Saigas are causing it, because I've tried disabling all those as well. The script isn't being messed with because the only other mod that uses this script is Anomaly magazines and the ammo check addon, but neither of those seem to make a difference, and work just fine when using nothing regular Anomaly. I've tried disabling pretty much anything my mod has a conflict with and still no luck

[old berry]

i checked the file yesterday and it worked fine, are you using gamma version of mags redux?

make sure you checked the 207- Mags Redux (Disable G.A.M.M.A. Unjam Reload) - RavenAscendant

or you just might have not checked ammo check at all

[static nebula]

I've tried using both the GAMMA version of Mags as well as installing separately from ModDB, no dice
So the animations are working just fine for you? 🤔

I still get the text at the bottom of the screen, just no ammo check animation

[old berry]

can you send me a screenshot of your ammo check settings

[old berry]

uncheck busy hands fix

@static nebula

thats the issue

i think you only check that when you actually get that problem

[static nebula]

now it's doing this 🤔 it just plays the holster/draw animation instead

[old berry]

did you restart the game?

[static nebula]

oh my gracious

hold on lol

[old berry]

or you just refresh it

[static nebula]

i just toggled the setting from the main menu then loaded into the test map

restarting now, will see if that works

no luck, it still just plays the holster/draw animation

it should look something like this for reference

[old berry]

the script doesn't work for some reason, did you change anything since yesterday?

[static nebula]

nothing that i can remember, still have the same script inside my mod

[old berry]

you didnt edit the config file right?

[static nebula]

no changes to the config

[old berry]

strange i know why it works for me, it's because i had long press binding enabled which for some reason played the animation

@static nebula

after disabling it, it's plays the default animation

wait nvm i fucked up it does work

might be a bit too extreme but you might try doing this on a fresh gamma install

[static nebula]

hah, why not lol, i don't mind

do you mean just installing via the installer?

[old berry]

nah i mean the full reinstallation

[static nebula]

oh geez lol

ill try just using the installer first, since it works just fine with base anomaly

worst case scenario, if it works for other people then ill just cut my losses and release it, since thats my main concern lol

[old berry]

i mean the mod is mainly for vanilla right

[static nebula]

I'd like it to work with GAMMA ideally, especially since Grok plans to add it in a later update

[old berry]

and mags are still optional

[static nebula]

true, but id like the mod to work as good as possible for the people that do use mags

Hi, I'm trying to make a weapon deal 71 damage, but using this values (which are copied from a scar file that deals 71 damage) the weapon deals 53 damage. Also can someone explain what is the difference between hit_impulse and hit_power and why are there 4 values.

[past barn]

Not an expert in weapon configs to I may be wrong:

• hit_impulse is used for ragdoll upon hit. A 12.7 caliber would have a much more extreme ragdoll than 9x19
• hit_power is most likely overridden by a DLTX mod, which seems like it's mod_system_weapons_damage_GAMMA.ltx which changes these values to 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 which afaik is roughly 70 damage ingame
• The 4 values are for the 4 difficuty levels, apparently

[calm island]

Oh, so if I add this weapon in the mod_system_weapons_damage_GAMMA.ltx and set all values to 1 just like scar, it should make damage the same

Because it's not in the list in mod_system_weapons_damage_GAMMA.ltx yet

[past barn]

If it's not there it won't be affected. In that case I'd stick to using the original weapon config for transparency. I mentioned the DLTX file so you see that the default values for the Scar you compared it to are altered by this file

[calm island]

I don't think I really understand. To give you the whole picture I basically downloaded a mod that adds an RFB which uses the same caliber as scar, so I wanted to make it deal the same damage. So I copied these values from a scar file and pasted it to the RFB file (which didn't even have those two lines by default). The damage changed but not how I wanted. So can you advise me how to do that, because I'm not that experienced in modding.

[past barn]

#1036727845726204024 I'm guessing? In that case just add the following line to the RFB's config somewhere in the beginning:

hit_impulse  = 35
hit_power    = 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0

Retrogue did release a fixed file that already has these values, but they're wrong compared to other 7.62x51 guns. For reference here's how my config looks like now

[calm island]

thank you I'll try it

but wouldn't that make it the same as adding it to the mod_system_weapons_damage, since it would overwrite it any way? Just asking so I can understand better how mods work.

[past barn]

It would. However since this weapon isn't in Gamma by default, it doesn't exist in this mod_system file. So if you later come back to this file but you've changed the damage values through the mod_system file, you may not realise why the values are wrong in the original config. By having the values in the original it makes it more transparent, and you won't have to hunt down which file modifies the weapon later on

So I'd just place the values in the RFB's config personally, but you can do either

[calm island]

ok thank you, will try both just for an experiment

[opaque frost]

Hello, im trying to figure out the name for ammo parts so ill be able to craft them, does anyone know the name?. this is from a ltx file from a mod that already added these but i want to be able to craft other parts. thanks

[past barn]

I use this method to find out what an item is called internally

• Make sure you have debug mode on: #╭📖faq message
• Press F7 ingame, then "Item Spawner" (1) on the bottom right, then "Weapons [Ammo]"
• Hover your cursor over the items and check the green name. That's their unique item name that you can use

Hello, I am looking for a help or even commission someone to help me with one simple mod. There is a mod called women of the zone (absolete and forgotten) which added a unique NPC, a bandit medic, a female nurse. I hoped someone could help me to extract that NPC from the mod, make it independent mod and fix her cringe text and poor grammar and typos.

[languid geode]

Guys, could you please tell me where/which file I need to modify to change ammo mag size for BaS vintorez ?

Do we have Stalker sound pros here? Why does audio become unreasonably quiet in game even if I make a negligible change to it? Talking about the X16 alarm sound, if I reduce its loudness by 0,5dbA it becomes way too quiet ingame. But 0,5dbA should be a barely perceivable difference compared to the original

[old berry]

did you check its in game sound volume using SAVandT

[past barn]

Didn't know about such a thing. Checking it out now

How do I change the parts disassembled for items?
I figured out parts_ammo is ammo, but I want to change explo_metalcan_powder's deconstruction into powder so I can use it as a storage item so I can store all the bullets

[opal gulch]

okay I found parts.ltx

but

it seems to require listing disassembly components individually?

I want to do 900 of something so that doesn't seem right

and I know parts_ammo in a completely different section overwrites this

putting [explo_metalcan_powder]:part_defaults,salvage_high parts = casing_p,100,powder_1,100

in parts_ammo.ltx seems to get acknolweged by the disassembled in that the regular parts don't get made, but it doesn't actually make the new stuff

not sure what the issue is

These icon I'm looking for only appear in "GAMMA icons" so no luck there either

There's a layered PDN file in the mod but the icons are already baked in so that's not useful either unfortunately

It's for Spatial anomalies mod, it disables nimble upgrades, so I made a patch

So I gonna go test and upload it

[vernal epoch]

That's such a weird conflict for a spatial anomalies mod to have

[ionic wadi]

Well it is what it is

It for some reason has zaton characters file, and in that file nimble has no upgrade dialogue option

And some other stuff is missing too

And in the dialogue file, no dialogue. Really weird conflict

[ionic wadi]

I found out the reason it has Zaton dialogue files. It enables or reanables compass artifact as a reward for completing Noah's quests

And one of the quests is tied up with teleports

It has random low condition upon being given to the player so that's okay I guess

[ionic wadi]

[late hazel]

Hay sorry to bother you all but I have a question that's probably been asked in this forum before. the thing I am interested at looking at is map editing/custom maps I have heard it's quite difficult/impossible I know that stalker anthology has ported over all the maps from lost alpha which has left me wondering is it easier to make a map in a different stalker game and then ported over into G.A.M.M.A? Note I have no experience in mod design if any of this sounds dumb that's why.

[past barn]

@undone lily I assume you made the GAMMA icons, can you help me out please?

[violet ridge]

When I am done with Old World, I'll publish the SDK files and rawdata for all the levels so it'd be easier to compile all levels and all.spawn based around them. Until then I wouldn't be able to help much, I am not good at teaching things ```

basically and theoretically, you can make new maps, there is nothing stopping you. but you won't be able to have AI be able to traverse between existing and new maps you make

Looking basically for the borders and backgrounds and not the icons themselves. I have photoshop and a winning attitude and the DDS plugin seems to be working.

[past barn]

You can extract them from the game yeah. I don't have an extractor but just Google it and you'll find it, there's multiple of them. Make sure you get the SoC ones tho, afaik they aren't cross-compatible across the Stalker games

[prisma ginkgo]

what addon has the new shotgun reload animations and another one which shows the weapons manufacturer?

[regal bolt]

[mint dust]

i've got a mod idea and I wanna validate to see if its worth doing, so let me know what you think and your thoughts on it.

The idea is as follows, you use the original Russian voice lines (which imo are the best) but the game now has subtitles while you walk around various different characters which have voice lines, these characters include storyline characters and also free-roaming npcs as their walking around the Zone.

A good example would be if you walked around a zombie (which yea, they surprisingly have dialogue and its depressingly sad) and you could see what their actually saying. Something sort of like this video made by someone who has translated the zombies voice line dialogue:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-zTenkYANI

in theory the mod would work like in the video, you get close enough and the subtitles from the video would appear.

This could really add to the dark and gritty atmosphere of the game, where the characters truly gather meaning from the pre-existing voicelines. But my previous projects have told me that I should gauge weather or not the audience (which is you guys) would be interested or have a want for such a mod before I go ahead and start this project. I wouldn't be able to give you a time estimate either on how long it could take but I would like to know your thoughts.

:) thx for reading

[undone lily]

good luck implementing subtitles scripts

[mint dust]

Yeah I've thought of that, its going to be a pain in the ass but I've got an idea. hopefully it'll work :)

a long time ago some geniuses managed to get it working for the original SOC. It might not seem like much but their implementation was so well done I think I might just be able to pull it off for GAMMA just using their framework as a reference, although your not wrong so far no one has been able to add Russian voices with eng subtitles even for stock anomaly (as far as I can dig up) so your not wrong am going to need more then luck.

[quiet valve]

Its in radiophobia and maybe even cotz (never tried the latter's subtitles but theres an option)

[quiet valve]

Stock anomaly and gamma has basically no differneces for modding, especially when your doing something unique that doesnt conflict with other stuff

[undone lily]

basically you need to figure a way to capture when a given sound is played and then associate each voice file to a given line of text to then display that line of text in game

I don't think there's a callback "on_before_sound_play"

[past barn]

Sounds cool, I'm a fan of subtitles especially when the voice lines aren't English

[vernal epoch]

Does the captions setting do anything?

[past barn]

Afaik they only work for "door closing" and such, nothing else

[vernal epoch]

Potentially have the needed callback there?

[quiet valve]

They managed to fully implement it in radiophobia although thats on soc engine, not cop

[past barn]

Someone made subtitles for CoP too, which worked so well it made me believe it was vanilla

[simple scaffold]

the sound files need properly configured comments. find a sound that does CC liek the afore mentioned door and see how it's comemnts are set utp. then add similar to other sounds to test what you need to do to make it woek

[regal bolt]

Thank you so much for that pointer. I have never played the base game, and didn't know that. Much appreciated!

[violet ridge]

just fyi, you don't edit those unpacked files to change stuff ingame - those unpacked ones are just a reference, the files used for game stuff are still within the db files

to apply custom edits you need to do so via a mod

dds files are textures, you need appropriate plugins or art editing software that opens them natively

for editing xml and other "code" files like ltx or script, best to use notepad++

[narrow stirrup]

Is there any page to start from the basics? I want to learn some code to create scripts but I’m mot sure where to start

[violet ridge]

there is anomaly modding book on github

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

[violet ridge]

it all depends what your aims are. best learning is to take a mod that does something similar to your end goals, and dissect what it does and how

lotsa stuff is still, sadly, not written down in the modding mood

[narrow stirrup]

Thank u so much this, was exactly what i was looking for, thanks about the advice of dissecting scripts too, I’ve trying to do this with chatgpt but the results are faar from good so i need to start learning the basics, thanks again 🤝

[violet ridge]

if you are specifically interested in scripts, I'd recommend seeking knowledge in Anomaly Discord's modding-code channel (big hint: don't be a dick)

if you have other modding interests me or some other kind folk also can you point in various directions or help out in general

just be mindful that GAMMA is an amalgation of so many works and changes so many things, make sure what you ask for is relevant to vanilla anomaly when on Anomaly discord

(also personally best is to make something work on vanilla Anomaly first, and then "adapt" (if necessary)/make sure it works on GAMMA)

Where are the files for numbers of cleaning kits located? They are not part of the icons themselves

[past barn]

They are, but they use a different texture. Look for gamedata\textures\ui\ui_tisk_repair.dds. Same deal with lots of other items as well. Some use the default ui_icon_equipment.dds and some don't

[calm island]

oh i see

is there a version of this mod that uses vanilla values?

[past barn]

What do you mean?

[calm island]

these numbers are for easier cleaning mod which decreases all values for repairing

vanilla numbers are higher

[past barn]

Oh, I'm not sure. I only ever found these and the default ones with no indicators

[calm island]

oh ok thanks

[calm island]

and how do i give them vanilla prices? they are way to cheap imo

[fair inlet]

Make a dltx overriding cost variables with ones from vanilla configs. Note that the cost variable determines price per use.

[calm island]

Can I do that just by disabling or modifying an existing mod?

[fair inlet]

There is a separate Gamma dltx editing repair items as far as I remember. Try searching it in MO2, it's probably in some mod like Gamma economy.

[calm island]

I have it disabled

Tho I did find the cost lines in weapon parts overhaul files, but deliting them didn' change anything

[fair inlet]

Check Craft and Repair Overhaul

[calm island]

I also have it disabled

[fair inlet]

Idk then, use search in files or make your own dltx.

[calm island]

and where do I place it?

[fair inlet]

at gamedata/configs, make sure to name it mod_system_zzz_*name*.

[calm island]

and where do I find all of the names of the repair kits so that it could be read?

[fair inlet]

items_repair iirc

[calm island]

ok thanks

[regal bolt]

I'd love this! If you'd like to do it then I think that we all would agree on a green light

[regal bolt]

Yes! I just needed a reference material for UI layouts and don't want to use any other modders work directly. I feel comfortable using the base material as a reference vs an individual who worked on their own labor of love. I finally got the UI how I want it too look. I finished the "Workshop" and am going to continue onto the the other "windows" as I get the time. It's been a long long time since I did any texture modding, but was glad for the refresher. It's like riding a bike. I "built" quite a bit of assets from Shadows of Chernobyl in making this, and have a style with it that will be easy to do for the other GAMMA assets. I have been using photoshop for a bit and am comfortable with it, and am still amazed every day at what new "tricks" we can invent to make the process easier every time.

[late hazel]

Honestly looks great can't wait to download it!

[regal bolt]

Someday when the whole UI is done, I will upload it. I love things like this. Thanks for the kind words. All I did was shuffle around Shadow of Chernobyl assets into a way I found pleasing while still being respectful of the GAMMA/Anomaly interface. Also, I hate "Aero" interfaces. I was never a fan of the ultra-slick phone-esque stuff. I like gritty and asymetrical.

[old berry]

i think the file is named something like "kobra_lens" or "kobra_dirt"

[old berry]

[flat steeple]

Good question I think you normally can't, unless you do it by the dragging items way, then you can drag the same item on itself for crafting something else, but then you need 2 of it
Otherwise I'm pretty sure someone made a framework before for making 1 ingredient recipes but I never tried it

I plan to re do the body health system area to be a close approximation of what SoC had in the same place. The information will be different, but the spirit will be there. It''s so much smoother now that I have a file full of assets that I already created. The dialog box has a few "tweaks" yet to do.

[narrow stirrup]

get_console():execute("snd_volume_music 0.6") <---- Is there any way to set the fov and player fov like this line do with the music volume when i load a game or change area?

[civic comet]

[fair inlet]

Yes, replace snd_volume_music with fov or hud_fov and use actor_on_first_update callback, which is called once after game load.

[narrow stirrup]

Thanks!

How can I change the destination location of a Guide's fast travel option?

[fair inlet]

In the guide's section of respective dialogs_*levelname*.xml replace <action> strings. The first action string determines price, second one - destination. Don't forget to change <precondition> as well if you are changing the price.

[past barn]

But that's only the text that's visible in the dialogue screen. I want to change the actual destination. For context I'm trying to change the Cordon guide's Swamps travel option from being on the north of swamps to the Clear Sky base:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/152dxml-more-guides

There is another mod that adds this exact option to Wolf in the Rookie Village. I compared the files from the 2 mods but I couldn't find which one determines their destination
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/improved-travel-guides-for-rc19

[fair inlet]

I have just tested it with zaton guide and bar as destination, text is determined by, well, <text> string.

[past barn]

Can you point me exactly what to change in what file? Because I'm pretty sure what I found is just for the dialogue

This is from st_dialogs_escape_guide of the former mod

[fair inlet]

this is what I added in dialogs_zaton.xml

precondition and price is wrong but destination works as intended

[past barn]

So I'd need to find the coordinates for dialogs_mlr.105_bar_guid and change it to the CS base I'm guessing?

[fair inlet]

fast travel to CS base is already an option for some guides, just copy its second <action>.

[past barn]

After some searching around I did find the coordinates actually, thanks. Do you know which guides can go to the CS base? I don't recall any right now

That's probably a lot better than trying to figure out the coordinates myself

[fair inlet]

There is probably no such guides, bar guide actually leads you to north-eastern part of swamps, contrary to what I thought.

[hardy hound]

https://tenor.com/view/thumbs-up-double-thumbs-up-like-agreed-yup-gif-11663223

[past barn]

Thanks. I'll try and see what I can do then

[fair inlet]

Adding completely new fast travel option is slightly more complex: you have to add two functions in dialogs_mlr.script, destination coordinates in mlr_utils.script and finally a dialog option in dialogs_*levelname*.xml with proper <action> and <precondition> strings. If you need CS base option, you can copy it from Improved Travel Guides addon, this one actually leads you to the base.

[past barn]

Nah I wouldn't mess around adding new ones, I barely understand how the current ones work I'll look into changing the destination of the current Cordon --> Swamp option. Thanks for all the help, I appreciate it

What is the best way to edit comments in ogg files?

[prisma ginkgo]

what does the GAMMA additional Storyline fixes change? is it from the LTTZ DC addon?

[celest forge]

Savandt

[pallid yew]

Yes, I already found it.
did you use it?

[celest forge]

I use it for my gun sounds yeah

[pallid yew]

I can not properly edit the radius of the sound.
Even after commenting, it is still audible throughout the location.

I am trying to change music in mod 5.

[simple scaffold]

is the sound stero? stereo sounds always play in stero in your head phones, meaning they sound like they are coming from inside your head

[pallid yew]

Yes..
I didn't think that was the problem!
Is there a normal way to convert audio to mono?

[simple scaffold]

IDK. not a sound person. there is a link in this cahnnel to a sound editor od some sort.

[pallid yew]

Ok. Big thanks!
You did a lot by telling me about the stereo. I'll do it next!

[vale knot]

damn invictus color too close to alpha modder

[random fulcrum]

it's different enough imo

[celest forge]

What's the difference between us common peasant modders and giga chad alpha modders

[summer trench]

I want to remove the awful hunger/thirst ASMR. Inside the AGDD_voiced_actor.script file, there's an if/elseif block of code. Can I safely just comment out (double dash) the branches that play the awful sound? I'm not used to the script syntax yet
Edit: On the bright side, it didn't seem to crash the game. On the downside, it still played the sound.

[scarlet token]

Well, you could make a blank audio file and put it into the place of the ones you want to not play

Heck there might even be a blank audio file somewhere in the sound field themselves.
Copy it to the desktop, name it what it needs to be to replace the audio and move it in, then repeat until all the ones are ‘covered’ up.

[summer trench]

If it were just one that's what I would do, but there are 20 different "thirsty" files alone. I'd prefer to just edit whatever calls those sounds themselves. I just tried turning their volume to 0 but that didn't seem to work. I'm starting to wonder if I'm doing this the right way? I'm editing the file in the modmanager specified folder for the mod C:\GAMMA\mods\15- Voiced Actor - DesmanMetzger, yet changes to the script file don't seem to have any effect...

[scarlet token]

I am not super familia with script yet for this game sorry.

[summer trench]

On closer inspection, setting the volume to 0 should completely prevent it from playing lip smacc

[scarlet token]

Hmmm, perhaps you need to set it to like 0.1??
Just a guess.

[wispy ferry]

I personally just disabled that entire mod because I hate the taunts and companion commands
but yeah, try 0.01 or some other tiny number

[summer trench]

I did think that 0 could be a shorthand for "default" volume rather than muted, but even so, setting the volume to 0 should mean that this line:
elseif actor_status_thirst.get_water_deprivation(true) > 0 and thirst_volume > 0 then would not trigger its branch

[scarlet token]

Tried -1?

[summer trench]

I'll give it a shot after a small float

[scarlet token]

Also, out of curiosity if anyone knows; if you dont have any of the voice mods (Voiced Actor - Desman, GAMMA voiced actor) does the character actually make sounds?

Like when they take meds, get shot etc

[summer trench]

Setting the value to 0.01 did not work.

Completely removing the block of the script that calls the files didn't work either. Where is this script getting cached?

[devout fiber]

is there a way to reduce the size of the reticle inside 2D scope think it might be a solution to balance the scale between the comical big overlay + medium reticle combo (last GAMMA), and the medium overlay + comically big reticle (especially the Acog) in vanilla Anomaly and the new 2D overhaul addon

[vale knot]

Id say alpha modders are someone who actually has had substantial change as a whole on the modding scene for anomaly

Raven does MCM, makes the anomaly modding guide

[lilac compass]

Does anyone have any idea where you change what ammo found mags spawn with?

[undone lily]

so you want to make slugs as easy to craft as buckshots while the slugs are like 4 times more useful than buckshots?

[frosty valve]

I mean I guess?

[signal barn]

It should be a 80:1 ratio, I want the grind to feel like a Korean f2p gacha game

That could impact the amount of enjoyment you’re able to get from gamma in the long run. But to each their own

[vagrant patio]

Hey lads, i'm wondering if any of you might be able to help me identify a soundpack mod, just by hearing it?
One of my favorite STALKER youtubers uses it in all of his videos, but all he mentions mod-wise in his descriptions is that "All recordings are made using the Gamma Modpack".
Thing is, i've never touched anything mod related for sounds, but my guns do not sound nearly as intense or impactful as they do in his videos.

Anyways, here's a short vid if anyone feels like taking a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TamnEnwnGK0

I'm beginning to wonder if it's not a mod, but rather just sounds added from a foley pack in post, during video editing, y'know?

[vale knot]

That music from the initial part just sounds like it was added in post

[fair inlet]

It is Dark Signal, default sounds for Gamma.

[vagrant patio]

Shit man, really? Cause my weapon sound effects just don't have that punchyness to them, maybe i somehow acidentally disabled it

Thank you, really

[fair inlet]

5,45 AK sound specifically impactful with DS, other weapon sounds are indeed softer.

[vagrant patio]

Weird, i just checked and i do have all the mods referencing Dark Signal enabled

[vagrant patio]

Ahhhh, alrighty

Well hey, thank you for the help man, really do appreciate it

[soft burrow]

You know how you can follow RF signals from lost signal tasks without holding the receiver in your hand if you enable that setting in mcm

I should check if the same can be done for RF packages

I'm not the greatest but I can try to answer questions or give tips if need be :p

[drifting merlin]

you can do that for anything that emits a frequency

[static nebula]

texture wizards, which compression is best for .dds?

[static nebula]

dxt1 seems screwey, dxt5 looks good, hopefully it works right ingame :p

[past barn]

DXT5 is lossy compression, some textures might end up looking discolored or with weird green edges. Use "None" for lossless quality at the price of increased file size. Most of the other formats produce strange results ingame

Can someone see if it's possible to move map changing triggers so certain areas of the map where NPC's go are accessible for us too? (Example: Entrance to Rostok in Army warehouses, you can't go past the gate, but the NPC's can and will shot you from there too)

It'd be really great if someone could do it

so this comparison is not complete by itself

9x21mm guns dmg is 24

these gun calibers are almost identical

irl they are not but forget about irl

Cos the guns that shoot sp10 can only shoot sp10 so the ammo is cheaper to craft to compensate for the fact you're putting ap bullets downrange every time you pull it out

Same with the saboteur ammo

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

Okay thanks. Hopefully it clicks with me and I can start making some weapon packs. Modeling aside I wish there was a way to make a mod where you character has weight. Like in DayZ or Tarkov. That's the only thing missing from the perfect experience IMO.

Need some help
how do I increase the general size of tracers?
I know that I need to edit these specific values in the base.ltx file, but what value is the correct one? There are a lot of them. And, how do I make that ALL gunshots have tracers?
tracer_width = 0.07 ;0.10
tracer_length_max = 225 ;225 ;24.0
tracer_length_min = 0 ;1.6 ;1.0

[dusty dagger]

That is an unknown channel-

If you're on the Anomaly server you should be able to access it. It's a mod by xcvb in the #1098580554565304340 channel

[dusty dagger]

Ooooooh

Thanks

[undone lily]

[undone lily]

Cause 9x19 is everywhere while 9x21 is rare and used by less guns and has less utility

9x21 > specialised rounds, thus made it a tad easier to craft

[undone lily]

Actually 9x21 STM is genius

[cunning isle]

So, do I need to change it for very type of ammo?

[violet ridge]

first check the file that edits ammos in GAMMA

[obsidian sequoia]

does anyone know of a mod to fix the position of the PU scope on the mosin?

[cunning isle]

This file? weapon_ammo.ltx

[violet ridge]

look for one that wins all conflicts

or for DLTX that might edit it

[celest forge]

Wdym

[obsidian sequoia]

it sits in front of the chamber, irl its positioned right above the bolt

i guess you'd need another mod to counteract using stripper clips too

[celest forge]

Oh, no, there's no mod for that

Since the scope being on the front of the gun is intentional there's nothing to "fix" really

[obsidian sequoia]

perfect job for someone who knows how to mod haha

[cunning isle]

But i don't know what file is that. There are other files that have the word ammo on their file name, but those are for crafting, in-game text and some scripts

The weapon_ammo.ltx file I mentioned is from GAMMA CQC mod

It's overwritten by a few mods, and it's near the end of the mod list

These are the files from GAMMA CQC that are being overwritten by those mods

Mostly files for in-game text, 1 script and 1 file that modifies keybinds

[cunning isle]

What file name must have an LTX file that intends to edit ammo tracer colors?
I fund the weapon_ammo.ltx file that has all the ammo parameters that I want to change, but I don't know what file name must be applied to the ltx file

[fair inlet]

Do you use DLTX or you just want to overwrite the file?

[cunning isle]

I think DLX is better, right?
Because updates restores everything to default every time

Preferably DLTX

[fair inlet]

Yes, DLTX is much better. You can read modding book DLTX manual if you want to learn how to use it: https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/addons/dltx.html

how do i set constraints on a weapon rig? do I just do it normally through the bone constraints menu or what? so like I'm rigging a weapon right now and I want the bolt to follow the main weapon bone, how do i go about that

[old berry]

you dont, you just do it frame by frame, trust me its less of a pain in the ass

[static nebula]

? every ogf ive seen has constraints when i import it, like the saiga I animated, all the parts followed the main weapon bone just fine

[old berry]

i thought you meant moving the bolt with constraints already set

[static nebula]

I was trying to figure out rigging a model for animation, I think I worded it badly though lol

[cunning isle]

Can someone give me a hand and tell me how to properly override the current tracers setting on GAMMA?
I want that all variants of the same caliber to have the same tracer color, and not only the AP\Hydra version of that caliber.
I already made my DLTX file and I think I added all I wanted, but for some reason the changes aren't taking effect.

I spent several hours creating my files, and I really don't want to just trow all that time away.

I can share my files so that anyone that wants to help can give it a look and tell me what is wrong with it.

[fair inlet]

What name and directory path your file has? Uploading whole file would also be useful.

[cunning isle]

gamedata\configs\items\weapons

[fair inlet]

mod_system files have to be at gamedata\configs.

[cunning isle]

Ohhhh, I copied the name from another mod that has the same folder structure

Does the same, i wanted to create my own because that mod is abandoned

[devout fiber]

Anyone know if I can make screamback (taunt) script faction-specific?

[fair inlet]

Are there any DLTX errors in the start of your log?

[cunning isle]

Yes, but these are directly related to weapons, i don't see anything related to ammo

Just so you know, I haven't touched any of these files

[cunning isle]

What changes would i need to make in the file names/content of the ltx files?

[fair inlet]

I can't find any reason for overwrites to not apply, so it's likely the issue is overwrites themselves. And since I don't have experience working with tracers I can't really help with that for now.

[cunning isle]

Well, thanks anyway bro, ill try a few more things before giving up on this

[violet ridge]

I'd first and foremost recommend you first check what is vanilla behavior on base Anomaly, and check if your fixes work there

GAMMA changes so many thing and in so many places you can be doing everything correct just something seemingly unrelated can be undoing all your efforts out of the left field

once you confirm your stuff works on vanilla and you are certain of your methods you should try to make it work on GAMMA

[fair inlet]

Yeah I totally forgot about load order, you should definitely try renaming your file so its name starts with mod_system_zzzzz_.

[undone lily]

Add the bolt to the weapon bone group ?

[static nebula]

I figured it out, it wouldn't work because I wasn't in edit mode lol. I'm still getting used to rigging weapons the correct way, the way I'm used to is a bit odd

[thick loom]

Hello there everyone, Anyone with bump map textures exp? The thing is, i noticed some models get astonishing bump maps, others don't (it isnt related to the pre normal/ 3d maps), i believe its related to COP models (Screenshot of a retexture from a COP model in anomaly, bump map, bump# generated, but it seems like the model doesnt recognize), because the models in Anomaly get them pretty well (retexture of a lurker with good bump maps.

Making it short, i wanna know if someone knows how to fix this, if it is related to .thm files, or something that should be changed in the model itself

[celest forge]

Probably just the quality of the bump itself

Found the issue, using AXR toolset to fix, some files werent refereced correctly

[lilac compass]

I was trying to fix the position of a canted sight when a march f scope was on it. It looks like the first image. I decided I prefer the position I get when pressing the free zoom button once the second image how do apply the positioning of the second image to a weapon?

[vernal epoch]

weapon hud editor, tweak the alt aim values until they make the gun look like that, write them down/screen them, make a dltx

![wpn_name]
Alt_aim_position  = blah, blah, blah
alt_aim_position_16x9  = blah, blah, blah

obviously check an actual file to make sure the alt_aim_position tags are the correct ones, I can't remember them for sure

The value you'll be fucking with specifically is the X position of the alt aim

[lilac compass]

I have attempted exactly this a few times it just seems to move the weapon too far away from my character

[vernal epoch]

I mean, I can't help you with that. if you tweak the alt aim position until you get it exactly where you want it and copy paste those numbers over, it should work exactly as you want

Make sure your dltx is named mod_system_zzzzzzzz_whatever

so it loads last in case theres a weird conflict

and so on

[lilac compass]

I guess I must be using the wrong position going to have to keep mucking with it I guess

[vernal epoch]

also, I forgot, but you have to edit specifically the hud with the scope tag in the name

![wpn_name_scopename_hud]

[lilac compass]

Yeah I'm using this: [wpn_sig550_custom_marchf_hud]

[vernal epoch]

Then I'm not sure. drop the file?

[lilac compass]

Should be this one I'm working on all of those 550's as most of their positions are messed up

[vernal epoch]

this is the block you'd be editting then for that specific field. But also, I really do suggest you make a dltx, since if another dltx is overwriting this file, you won't know unless you go looking for it, and the names aren't always obvious

[lilac compass]

Yeah I will be making a dltx I already have I'm just trying to figure out how free zoom gets such good positions without even moving the weapons position

[vernal epoch]

Dunno if you can do it specifically with freezoom, these edits would be directly moving the gun to look like that without freezoom applied

[lilac compass]

Yeah I'll try it thanks

Yeah I think free zoom does it by adjusting the fov just wanted to try to get rid of that odd jump in zoom levels when pressing the free zoom button but I guess it can't be done

[summer juniper]

Thank you but I actually figured it out mere moments before your reply

[summer juniper]

Appreciate it nonetheless

[summer juniper]

ok in relation to my last question is there a way to edit specifically only the armour im wearing to make a unique set or do i have to edit the armour as a whole so even npcs will benefit from the changes?

[celest forge]

Does anyone know why a gun would shoot to the right when standing still?

[summer juniper]

How do I change the br class of the armour the guide doesn't help me change that

Or does anyone wanna post me a private mod to basically just give me a single redline jacket with wastelander stats?

Sorry if I'm not allowed to ask that here disregard if so

[feral iron]

Thanks

[normal fern]

Does the engine simply not handle higher quality textures? I noticed so many really bad textures. Has the community not retextured them or is there a limitation I'm unaware of? Like.. People retextured Skyrim to 2k textures etc..

[steady apex]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/global-texture-rework-beta

[quiet valve]

ADEGA and EFP texture pack aswell

[normal fern]

I see, so textures are modded on to Anomaly directly and not included in the Gamma type modpack?

I'm a bit surprised that the engine completely stopped development. I guess the Monolith developer just decided it was good enough

Or that no one else forked it to fix stuff.

[vernal epoch]

Anomaly is still being worked on

[violet ridge]

or other forks of the OG x-ray

[steady apex]

wym completely stopped

[quiet valve]

Why do ogsr mods perform so much better than anomaly? Like ns ogsr looks stunning and has amazing consistent framerate for me. Is it the engine differences or are the mods just better optimised than anomsly addons?

[steady apex]

When there will be similar freeplay mod with same simulation then we can compare

Guys, where do I should look if I want to change stashes’ map descriptions?

Don't quote me on it since I'm not smart enough 😅
But maybe whatever point/bone the bullets are specified to come out of is rotated improperly?

Hello, i'm having this console error with the quick melee mod, Wen i press the quick melee attack it triggers this bucle, what should i loock into the script ltx? here is the quickdraw script, any ideas where to start looking at

[random fulcrum]

the knife thing isn't released properly so the game gets worried

other than that nothing happens

you'll never ever in your life reach the 65k id save death by just using quick melee

[narrow stirrup]

is there any way to avoid this error using quick melee? i know that 65k are to much but i just want to avoid those spam error, even when those are not a big thing

[paper bronze]

hey modders, do you guys know where outfit folder is? sorry for intruding

im trying to change my armor appearance

[fair inlet]

Do you mean first person visible body or hands? Because you don't need outfit configs to change these.

[paper bronze]

thirdperson

[fair inlet]

Anomaly\tools\_unpacked\configs\items\outfits. You have to use Anomaly\tools\db_unpacker first to see them.

This is configs folder, if you want to edit meshes or textures look in respective folders at Anomaly\tools\_unpacked

[paper bronze]

what are the odds that i fuck over my game doing this?

im wanna change the nomad_outfit to the actor\stalker_neutral\stalker_neutra_15

but idk if breaking my game is worth it

[fair inlet]

You should be fine. You will probably be able to revert changes if it crashes.

[paper bronze]

how do i repack it after im done?

thank btw your being very helpful

[fair inlet]

I would make a DLTX file in a separate mod.

[paper bronze]

ill be honest, i dont really know how to do that friend 🥹

[fair inlet]

This should help, you need to edit actor_visual value.

[paper bronze]

something like this?

[fair inlet]

Fixed some mistakes

[paper bronze]

i only changed the actor from your version cuz i wrote mine with the wrong one by mistake, now its like this "actor_visual = actors\stalker_neutral\stalker_neutral_15", testing it rn fingers crossed it works 🤞

[fair inlet]

Have you changed file format to .ltx? Also make sure it's in gamedata/configs folder.

[paper bronze]

i mada a mistake before, i made the rar with an extra folder like this: nomad/gamedata/configs. Now that i fixed it i got this message

@fair inlet this is what i was able to do :p, shame it didnt work hopefully u see something that i dont

[fair inlet]

typo in gamedata; change file name to something starting with mod_system_zzz_.

[paper bronze]

god im dumb, man im sorry u are stuck helping me out

ill triple check everything before i bother you again if it somehow doesnt work

[paper bronze]

@fair inlet WE DID IT!!!!

thank u so much man

u are a hero

how do i make a reposition settings/mod

@random fulcrum @vernal epoch try if miser skull works

will let you know

Miser Skull isn't working for me, even with that

[steady apex]

then its not that mods problem

[marsh ether]

if i edit the parts that weapons use will it break existing saves

[fair inlet]

No, but changes won't apply to existing weapons iirc.

[marsh ether]

ah shit

[fair inlet]

I'll check to be sure real quick

[marsh ether]

i wanted to make a mod that fixed an issue with certain weapon variants using different parts than the base variant, like how some versions of the scar use the 6-lug bolt and some use the 7-lug bolt, but i was making that mod to fix a scar that i already had in my stash

i mean ill probably still make it because its actually really annoying that its inconsistent

but still

i think the diff bolt between the 9x39 and 7.62 groza is intentional

but the scar one is just bs

im not even sure about that one honestly bc frasier uses the same bolt as the 9mm

oh damn, they actually do use different parts irl, that shouldnt be changed then

wait, no shit, both variants should use the AK bolt

ill stop narrating here

[fair inlet]

The weapon I edited mid-save now doesn't have any parts at all.

[marsh ether]

so not save compatible, got it

ill still give it a once-over and release it for other ppls use i guess

[fair inlet]

You can also change PPSh and k98 parts if you are at it, like they have unique barrels and bolt not any other weapon uses, making them more difficult to repair for no particular reason.

[marsh ether]

the k98 bolt is shared with many other bolt weapons but i noticed that about the ppsh when i was trying to repair one so ill change that up too

it is very weird that every SMG uses the same barrel regardless of caliber except the ppsh

k98 does use a unique caliber and the barrel is shared with the g43 so i wont change that, but i will change the ppsh

ill prevent the unique ppsh parts from spawning for good measure and then pack that up and release it

i think ive edited all the files i need to, ill test it and figure out how to make this install with MO2 tomorrow and then release it

[white osprey]

What mod is used for the detector in the picture？

[drifting merlin]

that's just the grizzly bro
it's in gamma by default

[white osprey]

oh，i see；
Mainly because I want to install this mod into vanilla

[drifting merlin]

as in
you want to install it into ANOMALY?

[white osprey]

yes

it look so beautiful

[drifting merlin]

i'm like 90% sure it's proprietary to gamma

[white osprey]

The meaning is that I can extract that detector from gamma ？

R3zy's Detectors Enhanced Shaders Patch ?

[drifting merlin]

You'd be looking in
(yourdrivehere):\GAMMA\mods\G.A.M.M.A. Artefacts Reinvention\gamedata

and then looking for anything pertaining to the GRIZZLY detector

[white osprey]

ok,thanks!!

[left timber]

Hey, bros Does anyone know what add-ons change gun positions like this picture?

[white osprey]

For guns with laser sights, pressing v can switch to this type of aiming

" V "

But it looks a little different from your picture

[drifting merlin]

GAMMA will transition into a point shooting position shouldering left with the right side of the weapon tilted upwards like the one they posted

[left timber]

Gamma holds a gun like the picture above, but the bas applied in vanilla holds a gun like the picture you posted

[left timber]

yeah that's it

[white osprey]

oh，i see

I'm still playing vanilla, so I don't know the details in gamma

[devout atlas]

Can a homie get a modders role?

[muted zephyr]

hey guys im having an issue that my companions inventory is full but when i open it its empty. ive tried activating mod 220 companion inventory unlocker but it doesnt seem to do anything ive seen some old files on moddb that the comments say works but i have to add it to scripts or make a script for it or something anyone ever heard of that?

[marsh ether]

how do i make a blacklist script work properly? im trying to blacklist a few items so they dont show up in stashes or trader inventories but i can still see them in the debug menu

i dont wanna have to copy over the default blacklister bc i want to maximize compatibility with other mods

[paper bronze]

hey have you tried it out in game? i wondering if it has no conflicts cuz its a cool idea

wonder how it works with sights tho

[faint sable]

now idk if this is what you are on about, however from my personal use of this script, it has removed items completely from debug and in game. as long as you write its debug name in the items to remove section, it should work
example :
;Items to remove from game
wpn_glock17
item_18
etc etc

[faint sable]

maybe try this

it has worked fully for me as of now, I been using it since forever

sway works by holding F while using ADS

to focus it

the original 1.0 one has some ctd issues with switching sways, but this 2.0 fixes them fully

recommend placed at end of order

[haughty scroll]

does anyone have the hands

that works on xray export

[static nebula]

the what now

[old berry]

first time i tried a mag swap animation, could use some feedback

[drifting merlin]

that pause after inserting the new mag - is that charging the weapon or is that placing the old mag back into a carrier? quite smooth, very calm, not sure if that's the vibe you're going for

[old berry]

its for putting the mag back

[cosmic drift]

it's perfect with mag redux then, fits the vibe

[rough rivet]

thanks! will see

[rough rivet]

I added this addon. used defoult MCM. so, it's work 🙂 no conflicts yet

[river fjord]

its a bit stationary

[old berry]

i should probably add more x rotation

[calm island]

hi, so basically if you want to have animation for ammo check you need to bind it on the same key as unjam, but to use unjam you need to have weapons parts overhaul. i dont like wpo but i still want to have animation for checking ammo. is there a way to add these animations to ammo check mod? i would also be happy with any other animations (for example putting the weapon away) because having weapon stay still is immersion braking

[old berry]

added a lot more movement, pretty happy with the result tbh

[drifting merlin]

[wispy ferry]

[white osprey]

I installed the grizzly detector in gamma into vanilla！！

[drifting merlin]

[faint sable]

been trying to make the taz detectors work in gamma, not sure what to do for its actual visual effects, anyone have any tips?

[graceful rover]

maybe like a radar

[faint sable]

that's the thing, it has one but I don't know how to properly put it in with it

[simple scaffold]

I'd use the system that displays the numbers on the rf detector to place the graphics you want. It can place textures on hud items.

Build a pretty UI. And stick it in that circle. Use the get nearby objects functions to find out what is around you.

[faint sable]

Thanks, I actually figured it out, they had their textures tied to scope lens and dirt thms and dds

[white osprey]

Awesome ！

[lone thicket]

Not sure if I'm reading the pinned guide correctly. I'm supposed to install the X-Ray SDK patch 0.4 over X-Ray CoP SDK 0.7?

[lone thicket]

The permanently on laser of ASh-12.7 bothered me enough to make this.

Dunno why the laser turned red. Copied it from the green laser of BaS' SCAR-H but they're both red in-game.

I feel comfortable that this is done. The Dialog menu system is done, as is the workbench menu (not shown, but similar). I will be pulling assets from the UI I have made to finish out the "Looting" screen (mutant loot) and the cooking menu. Also the health area in the bottom left. This is nothing but a reskin of the default GAMMA experience.

Any comments are very much welcomed. I am at a point where extra eyeballs may help me see something I missed.

[soft burrow]

I've been staring at the sorting plus script for a while to see if I can make it separate favorites into different rows on top of non-favorited item rows and still don't figure out how it works much less how to modify it for my purposes

Would be nice if I could get it to shift the item_kind_order number of favorited items by a negative amount to create rows on top and shift the item_kind_order number of junk items by a positive number to create rows below.

[simple scaffold]

Draw a picture please. These words aren't sufficient.

[thick loom]

Is it possible to create a DLTX version of "Actor hand HUD"?

[simple scaffold]

DLTX fixes ltx file conflicts. Is the issue and ltx file conflict?

[thick loom]

moreless, the thing is, i would like to create custom hand huds for a custom outfit, but i want to make it more compatible

I've been using IENCE Thap rework "actor_hud_hand_animations" file with my outfits, since its the most used addon, in order to make it more compatible as possible (specially with GAMMA)

[cunning wigeon]

hello anyone here that knows about the weapon stats modifier?

[wispy ferry]

depends on how advanced you are looking for
if all you need is "make this use 9mm and do more damage" then it's a simple DLTX mod that I can help with

if you want to understand how damage works and recoil is configured, you've got a lot more learning to do and I have no idea how to get started

[soft burrow]

Here's an illustration. Sorry it took so long.
These are two grids, each representing an inventory.
The colored cells are items, yellow for favorites, red for junk, and gray for non-favorite non-junk items.
The columns with numbers to the left of the items show the item_kind_order that is used to separate items in different groups.
The inventory on the left shows how items are currently sorted, with all the favorite items sharing item_kind_order = -2, and all the junk items sharing item_kind_order = 100
The inventory on the right has the ordering I'm trying to achieve. In it the item_kind_order numbers for favorites and junk items are calculated from the original item_kind_order plus or minus an offset of 30, in this example.
So, for example, a medical item that originally occupies a space in group 6 when it's not favorited would now be moved to group -24 when it is favorited.

[soft burrow]

But maybe all that is an unnecessary restructuring of the script if I could just make it add new rows while it sorts items inside of the favorites and junk groups

[past barn]

So essentially you want favorites and junk to keep their respective grouping/sorting rather than all of them being grouped into one with no sorting between them?

[soft burrow]

Yes

[past barn]

I see. I'm not knowledgeable enough to give you an answer tho, I'll leave it to Raven

[vagrant patio]

Hey, quick question for you lovely folks; I've just been made aware that there is a mod that creates a Duty version of Hip that apparently hip was actually reversed engineered from

Anyone know the name of this Anna mod off the top of their head?

[fair inlet]

Duty Expansion?

[vagrant patio]

Okie doke, so it is just a part of the duty expansion

I had different people claiming it was, and other folks saying it was a seperate mod entirely

So i figured i'd ask here to make sure

I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume the Duty Expansion is super not safe to activate mid-run, right?

[fair inlet]

Moddb description says new game is not required. Other question is how stable it is overall.

[vagrant patio]

Thank you very much kind sir, it's much appreciated

[flat steeple]

I used the mod before, It was okay
I think Should be good to install modgame but obviously probably not to remove

So be careful

[drifting merlin]

it's safe to activate mid run per my experience, the real problem is that Duty Expansion fucking loves to spawn 30+ npcs for some fights
anomaly's engine very much strongly does not like that.
you will drop to sub 15 fps for those last couple of quests

[vagrant patio]

Oh that's fine

I honestly don't even plan on doing the whole expansion

I just want a duty-flavored self-propelled backpack

[drifting merlin]

Anna will not be a recruitable party member unless you do

[vagrant patio]

Instead of the gross freedom flavored Hip one

Oh motherfucker

.<

[drifting merlin]

can't even debug force her to become a companion, as she's considered a story npc

my personal recommendation? one such fight is actually just straight up bullshit
like, unironically, i cannot understate this enough - 25 odd bloodsuckers (including alphas) crammed into a 15x6 foot room just for a stash of ammo and meds
just turn on godmode and cruise through the quests then resume normal gameplay

[quiet valve]

Isnt there a way to decrease spawns through configs?

[drifting merlin]

sure, but it's not relevant here
they're scripted to spawn by said expansion mod
so unless you wanna go diving through scripts, you'll still have to deal with it

[vagrant patio]

This is very good to know

Thank you very much

Man, i will never understand how some people actually believe "GAMMA community is so toxic"

Y'all motherfuckers are heroes

try this change under this comment:

    -- Sorting by kind: when sorting a new kind, always start from last row taken by previous kind
    if self.sort_method == "kind" then
        local sort_k = magazine_binder and obj and magazine_binder.is_carried_mag(obj:id()) and "loadout" or  ab_k[sec]
        self.rKind.current = item_order[sort_k] + (SORTFAVS and favorite_itms[sec] and -100 or SORTJUNK and junk_itms[sec] and 100 or 0)

[soft burrow]

It worked! until I opened my stash and tried transferring a pistol from my vision slot into it...
The favorites were correctly grouped by kind

By the way this is how I inserted that new code into the script. Is this right?
