Tell me a mod for animation of picking up objects?

[hardy hound]

itell you

FDDA latest version has a pick up animation, I don't know if the modpack/assembly has the latest version, but it's disabled anyway

[slow bolt]

FDDA hasnt updated in a very long while, so yes. Gamma has it all

[cosmic hinge]

I'm new to modding and trying to search for resources. I want to try out scripting and everyone points to the axr_main.script to see the list of callbacks, but that file doesn't exist in my scripts folder. What do I need to do to access it?

[cosmic hinge]

nvm I see now, have to use the db unpacker to see the scripts, just couldn't find that bit of info anywhere

[river fjord]

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

[cosmic hinge]

thanks! I have been reading through that, but missed where it talks about the unpacker

are there any resources for documentation? for example, what functions each kind of object has access to? or when certain callbacks are called? For example I am looking at the squad_on_update callback but can't figure out the conditions that causes that to trigger

[random fulcrum]

register the callback in your script and add a print

[cosmic hinge]

thanks, I've done that. The squad update one pretty much spams constantly, so it's hard to tell what's actually triggering it. For example, it could be just a general callback every frame, or when the squad makes some sort of decision, I can't tell

[foggy magnet]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/aac-honeybadger-assault-rifle

[random fulcrum]

does the callback have arguments?

if so, try passing the arguments to the print to see what's actually triggering it

given it's an on_update thing it's obviously gonna fire all the time

iirc the poll rate was around 10ms

[violet spindle]

Can someone give me a bit of a hand here maybe? I want to create a different ammunition type for 357 weapons, but GAMMA and Anomaly made the config files so convoluted I can't exactly find the ones I need to do so. There is no named ammo_ file for it, and it isn't in the BaS ammo ltx either

[random fulcrum]

literally just weapon_ammo.ltx

i have a meme extreme low effort new bullet mod you can use as a base

[violet spindle]

You are right, I went in to deep and missed the forest by the tree, thanks

[violet spindle]

I'd be extremely thankful for that one

[random fulcrum]

#1052402537099169822 message

iirc there was also a guy that made .357 fmj if that's what you were looking for

[violet spindle]

Either that or making a very expensive, nowadays rare 357 AP from before the US ban on manufacture of them

[lucid cairn]

Thinking of making some map edits as a mod. But just wanted to get an idea of if this is even possible. Does it seem feasible to add some clipping brushes to all the stairs so you don't jerk your way up every individual step? Couple places in the game already have this, but it feels like about 5% of stairs in total

[lucid cairn]

Is anyone able to help with extracting the old church model from the Great Swamps map? I tried the converter, but I am unsure if the model is stored as part of the level files or just named something obscure. I also grabbed the CoP SDK to try and open the extracted level files but that just crashed

The blender xray plugin can open basic maps that have been unpacked, but can't handle any of the larger maps

[lucid cairn]

So I find a way around this... I download a version of the map made for Garry's Mod where someone had already put in the work to export the models properly. These I know how to work with and can rebuild

[lucid cairn]

Ta-da, just need to select and export now 😄

[vapid ibex]

is it possible to make specific characters recruitable as companions?

[slender geyser]

the dev console can

[vapid ibex]

how would I go about that. as I have never used the dev console for something like that

[slender geyser]

I've never done it before but it should be as simple as hitting F7 to open the dev console menu, mousing over the target, and using the 'C' hotkey to make the target a companion

[vapid ibex]

I don't get a mouse cursor with the console open

[slender geyser]

is this the menu you're looking at

[regal bolt]

Does anyone know the issue with OpenAl

[vapid ibex]

oh no I have to enable debug

[river fjord]

blender can handle any of the maps no issue. make sure youre importing the version with no file extension
also no one has yet to figure out a way to edit existing maps, its a lottttt harder and very different from adding new maps which is what all the other map related mods have done

[lucid cairn]

Is unpacking the assets from Anomaly, and then loading the level file (no file extension) in Blender using the plugin the right way to do it? I’m trying to load the marsh map, but I’m thinking either I’m doing it wrong or I need more than 16GB of system RAM to handle the operation as Blender just crashes

[river fjord]

yep, thats all you need. blender 3.5 and above has a lot of issues dealing with level files too, id use a version below that is the only other thing
ive personally imported every single level for anomaly and many other mods no issues using blender version 3.3.2

[meager yarrow]

im sure im not the only person to say this but it would be really cool if you could send messages in the stalker chat in game

and have the AI react dynamically

maybe its a like, preset options kinda thing

you can query for some info or some rumors about stashes

or, if there could be some kind of LLM ai API intergration

you could have the stalkers actually speak from ai

though, that would kinda just be for RP stuff lol

[surreal pier]

funny that the person above me mention this. with the same goal of improving npc dialogue and immersion (albeit in a more subtle way), i was curious about whether or not it is easy or doable to add or change dialogue lines for the conversation panel when interacting with any npcs. i have 0 modder experience but id like to take a look at it myself if i have to.

[lunar nimbus]

interactive pda has sort of some options like ask for certain mutant or stalker or even call for SOS ;p

i also have another addon as a replacement for "rumors" u can ask, they could answer u if they heard of stalker deaths, when where from who etc
or if they heard that some stalkers killed someone... its not much but adding immersion a bit, rumors are also real, i mean they talk about what happened in game

not exactly what u asked for, but it can fill some of these gaps ;p

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/interactive-pda-01
and

[faint sable]

this deserves 5000000000 kpop

[meager yarrow]

this is cool as fucjk

[atomic latch]

So uhm, except the REX nobody ever did a 357 smith & wesson for anomaly? (I need a confirm It's not a request )

[river fjord]

there is a few others, none public yet tho besides aoldri's rex

[atomic latch]

Perfect, thanks

[river fjord]

posted by asnen in anomaly main discord months ago, no idea when its actually coming out tho

[faint sable]

Woahhh

That's really well made I'm gonna model one anyway so, when it's ready if nobody posted one I'll post mine

[river vault]

Is there any dev or moderator that can send me list of gamma mods ?

[solar shard]

Hey all, anyone know where to find the out of inventory 3D model of the Mosin with a PU scope attached in the game files? Trying to mirror it horizontally so that a dropped Mosin with PU attached matches the current scope placement changes for the first person model.

[kindred tiger]

Here's the modlist (MO2): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA/main/G.A.M.M.A/modpack_data/modlist.txt
And here the download links and respective archive contents (install instructions) used: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA/main/G.A.M.M.A/modpack_data/modpack_maker_list.txt'

[bright cypress]

So I don't know where I should ask this but is it possible to port these props over (as shown in the video) from EFP to GAMMA?
If so, would I need any patches or is it just a matter of drag and dropping them?

which mcm setting fixes this again?

[regal bolt]

Is there a way to disable the radiation distortion on screen? (The one where your screen goes gray?)

put it after furniture mod

[bright cypress]

Thanks so much man, saved me from installing the whole modpack

[brittle flame]

Idk, but enabling/disable anti-virus does work for me.

[regal bolt]

will try

[fervent talon]

Whos excited for Stalker 2 ?

[astral fable]

Do I need to spawn them in or they get added to traders?

Nvm saw em' on the trader catalogue lol thx for the link

[atomic latch]

ngl I was a bit worried seeing the downgrade on the new trailer + the feedback about the test at gamescon... but hey the game is there, they had the balls to let people try it instead of pushing out another cinematic trailer, hopefully at worst it just needs polishing, so yeah my hipe remains unchanged

[thorn stratus]

kin, do you know if the lighting editor actually works?

[random fulcrum]

disable dynamic tonemap

[steady minnow]

How do I get the dynamic zoom optics to work with BaS and modded in weapons?

Im particularly looking at this upgraded PKM that looks like it should be able to mount a canted sight/main optic, it can’t, and the main optic is stuck on a fixed zoom. Laser sight shooting view works so I’m not worried about getting the optic packages to fit I figure that’s probably a lot more work

NVM found a fix for the zoom!

[frozen island]

Anyone knows if there's a mod to fix the yantar to dead city map transition spot?
I just ran right past it and didn't get prompted if i wanted to travel to dead city, so i kept running forward to test and, well, idk but seeing the edge of the map seems really weird. Any fixes?

[peak quest]

how would you go about changing the view models of certain suits? for example id like to swap the view model of the deserters berill 5m with the real berill suit

just dont like the way the hands look

[lucid cairn]

Haven't verified but after unpacking the game files, it looks like it is here C:\Anomaly\tools\_unpacked\meshes\dynamics\weapons\wpn_mosin. I'd assume the scope is a separate object that becomes a child of the weapon

[lucid cairn]

Did some texture upscaling out of curiousity with a free tool, kinda made cartoon textures. Left is the upscaled one, and right is the original. Not sure how it'll come across after compression

[alpine mural]

Try this boss: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/dltx-no-radiation-grain-fx

@simple scaffold if I have a crash
` 1 : [Lua] ...ackv25\gamedata\scripts\dynamic_npc_armor_visuals.script(166) : func_or_userdata

LUA error: ...ackv25\gamedata\scripts\dynamic_npc_armor_visuals.script:166: attempt to index local 'item' (a nil value)`
This your fix from moddb will help?

**fast transfer from the nitpickers modpack?

if so add this to the end of the sctipt from this addon:**

Base_Action_Move = ui_inventory.UIInventory.Action_Move function ui_inventory.UIInventory:Action_Move(obj, bag) obj = self:CheckItem(obj,"Action_Move") if obj then Base_Action_Move(self,obj, bag) end end

[regal bolt]

It helps a lot. Finally I can fucking see xD

And so far no issues to report.

But I've only been walking through radar so

[alpine mural]

Radiation trashes my stream quality, so I found that. Glad it works.

[regal bolt]

It does great job. Thank you for reccomendation man

[thorn gust]

i got spurs that jingle jangle jingle

[hazy scarab]

Can anyone tell me which file I need to edit to change the repair kit a weapon uses?

[fair inlet]

edit repair_type parameter in the respective weapon config, like w_ak74_n.ltx for example

[hazy scarab]

much obliged

[undone lily]

Ask EFP people to release this on github / moddb etc

[hazy scarab]

So should I always work with the last one in the load order or does it not matter if I'm just going to copy the file and overwrite?

[fair inlet]

You should learn how to use dltx for such stuff. But for now the file you are editing has to be last in the load order

[hazy scarab]

Okay thanks I'll look into dltx

so far so good
just did a little test, seems like copying over the latest .ltx and adding as a custom mod last in the load order works fine.
now i just need to write a script to copy all the latest weapon ltx files to a clean folder

Can I rename the .ltx to .txt files so I can bulk edit with glob in python then rename them back to .ltx?

[slow bolt]

.ltx is just an extension

[hazy scarab]

if i rename to .txt and then back to .ltx after editing will the formatting still hold up?

[worthy mortar]

Did anyone ever retexture the SPAS 12 reanimated model so it doesn't look like it came out of the factory?

[slow bolt]

Formatting is independent of the file's extension

[worthy mortar]

Also tf you just open it in notepad

No need to play games with extensions

[hazy scarab]

I want to glob them with python so I can edit all the files simultaneously

[slow bolt]

it should open .ltx same way it opens .txt

[hazy scarab]

Thanks guys.

[hazy scarab]

looks like sks and svt40 ltx have the same weapon repair type: rifle_7 but sks uses historic and svt40 uses advanced

[fair inlet]

because sks is edited by dltx in some gamma mod

just make sure your dltx is loaded after

[hazy scarab]

what do you mean by this?

[fair inlet]

dltx files are loaded in alphabetical order. Make sure your dltx file is loaded after the gamma one so yours can overwrite

[hazy scarab]

Reflavors repair kits and moves some weapons around to create a progression based on weapon quality and technology instead of caliber.

Shotgun cleaning/repair kit -> Reflavored into historic weapon repair kit. Repairs historic weapons and hunting weapons.
Mosin-Nagant, SVT, SKS, Type 63, Kar98k and Gewehr 43 are moved into this category.

Smallbore rifle cleaning/repair kit -> Reflavored into army weapon repair kit. Repairs army-issued weaponry.
7.62 AK rifles are moved into this category, along with the Remington 700, SPAS-12 and MP-153 shotgun.

Medium and large caliber cleaning/repair kit -> Reflavored into advanced weapon repair kit. Repairs weapons that are either mechanically complex, very precise, or both.
AEK-971, F2000, Saiga-12S, Vepr-12, USAS-12 and M249 are moved into this category.

From 196- DLTX Minimodpack - Demonized - this is literally exactly what I want to achieve but looks like something's overwriting this again

[hazy scarab]

Sorry bud, where are those dltx files located?

[fair inlet]

probably Gamma weapon pack

[hazy scarab]

Is the extension literally .dltx?

[fair inlet]

no, they are still .ltx, but their name starts with mod_

[fair inlet]

mod_system_items_repair_zGAMMA_repair_redirect

[hazy scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/denzel-training-day-gif-23255629

[hazy scarab]

really appreciate the help, thanks a bunch

[hazy scarab]

best thing about this is you can just add the weapon names to this file, dltx is da wey

Now can anyone tell me what I need to edit for NPC armor distribution? I want to remove exoskeletons from spawning completely.

[fair inlet]

mod_death_generic_g_a_m_m_a_no_integrated_helmets_in_armors

[hazy scarab]

ah nevermind, found the right one

[icy wyvern]

Has anyone made mods of accessibility for deaf people?

Asking for a friend

[hazy scarab]

Some MSI motherboards come with software that shows the source of sounds with a red circle, I don't think you need a mod for that, maybe you can find something similar

[icy wyvern]

That's interesting

[slow bolt]

Nahimic shit that for me never works

[shy torrent]

Would anyone know where I should look in order to edit the basic contents of RF Packages? I understsand the bonus/hidden loot is handled by a script, but can't seem to find where the basic loot is determined

[obsidian void]

I need a little help. I want to completely remove a specific item from the game. What files control the items dropped by stalkers and the world drops? Or is there some extremely elegant way to just remove it from the game?

[narrow coyote]

In OG trilogy - when you hover croshair on item on the floor - you will see its icon, and the name.
In anomaly there is only icon, without the name.
How can I turn on name?

[random fulcrum]

most likely disabled in the source

[obsidian void]

You can see the name by holding your "use" key but far enough from the item that you don't pick it up. You can also use debug mode and while looking at the object use the get info function to find it's true name (the item name defined in the .ltx)

[blazing pecan]

Thanks for this

Spent an hour in newbie chat and then when I got in here and searched "crouch, stutter" I found you 😆

[feral vault]

Just curious, does anyone know of a easy way to say 1.5x or 2x the size of hunger thirst or sleep pool.

jsut feel that eatign for a single day isnt 'right' and personally i think i should be able to eat twice as much one day and not need to eat the next,

[twilit geyser]

ok i think this is the right chat: are the sound files for GAMMA accessible in the installation files? or are they archived? i wanna replace the sound in Starfield for the AK and VAL but I dont know where I could find good sound files

[shy torrent]

You can use the MO2 file search function to find files with specific names. Most sounds are loose, since they're installed by mods. I could find sounds for firing, empty, reloading, etc

[obsidian void]

Can someone tell me which mod is adding the colored dots to indicate weapon parts condition? There are some discrepancies between it and WPO's color thresholds.

[bronze jacinth]

An idea for a mod: ability to save starting loadout; so-to-say have some kind of a profile system, where you could create a profile with stalker from certain faction, game dificulty, items, etc.

[river fjord]

utjan's qol bundle

[river fjord]

make sure you credit the appropriate people, those sounds are not the property of gamma

[hearty plinth]

I want it

[peak dock]

Was directed here by veerserif. "H" is currently being used by Body Health System to cycle the ui. I'd like to change that but it's not in MCM. veerserif found a line in GAMMA\mods\184- Body Health System - Grokitach\gamedata\scripts\zzz_player_injuries.script

if dik == DIK_keys.DIK_H then

but I changed that to
if dik == DIK_keys.DIK_B
and it didn't work.

Anyone that might know if there is something else I can try?

[random fulcrum]

bhs script is overwritten by medications balance

[peak dock]

That has done it. Thank you very much!

[west anchor]

hey i got a dumb quastions(s) 1 is there a way get the name of npcs with tasks and that the player has accepted i have a terrible mod idea

[obsidian void]

This keybind should be MCM’ified.

[misty mulch]

i actually believe@fair inlet has a loose script file floating around that achieves this

[torpid pivot]

god why are protection values so weird

[fair inlet]

there's this addon. Haven't used it, but I guess it's better than mine

Wait it's about BHS key? I never made a mod to change it, sorry for ping

[hazy scarab]

is there any way to check what armor an NPC is wearing in game?

[random fulcrum]

as in the armor they drop when they die?

the suit/helm they drop doesn't have anything to do with how sturdy they are

[upbeat venture]

made a personal mod for anomaly sounds
found the constant droning grating
changed to be realistic.
leaves rustling, sizzling ground water, etc.
lost it with drive crash

[broken coral]

Hello, everyone ! I have a question : is there any possible way to make every faction patch wearable, regardless of the one the armor suit we already wear has, as well as wich group we already belong to ?

[split drum]

Im looking to modify the values of the knot a bit in my game. Does anyone know how that would be possible?

[austere lagoon]

Hi! I'm curious about how Gamma developers could achieve ReShade not affecting UI/main menu/inventory/dialogue panel. Do you have any insights on this?

[hazy scarab]

No, armor they are wearing that I can't determine because they don't drop it when I kill them

[slow bolt]

It's called modded exes. Google it
"Anomaly modded exes"

[austere lagoon]

Thank you!

[umbral harness]

I'm writing a language mod that uses powershell to manipulate the XML language files. However, some of the newer ones contain malformed comments that break the XML parser. It's trivial to fix it, but it means a few extra steps. I doubt anyone cares about this as much as I do, but I was curious if you think this should be fixed?

[river fjord]

i really doubt anyone cares about that

that <!---- some comment ----> format is extremely popular in a lot of stalker files iirc

[umbral harness]

Yeah it breaks XML parsers though. I guess the engine just uses an older less strict parser and that's why its worked so far

[river fjord]

thats unfortunate

[dreamy fjord]

Hi everyone
Any mod that lowers parts necessary condition to be able to repair them, from 60% to 20%?

[shy torrent]

You'll have to edit the repair item's repair_min_condition = 0.6 to 0.2. You can easily do so using DLTX. The respective tools are [ramrod_tool] and [rasp_tool]

With the exception of those that require the multitool. Then you'd need to also edit [leatherman_tool]

An example would be:

repair_min_condition = 0.2

![rasp_tool]
repair_min_condition = 0.2

![leatherman_tool]
repair_min_condition = 0.2```

[dreamy fjord]

Thank you
Don't have enough brain cells to spare for DLTX right now, so I've only changed the values in items_repair.ltx
Will report back when I start my playthrough

[obsidian void]

All you have to do is create empty mod in MO2, open in explorer, create folders gamedata>configs, create a text file, name it mod_system_(whateveryouwant).ltx and paste that code block inside. Done.

[dreamy fjord]

That's simple enough, thank you.

[regal bolt]

What do I need in order to port in my own weapon into gamma

[random fulcrum]

i still don't understand thid

like, is it about how much ap you need for them?

[hazy scarab]

I want to know which suit of armor (or exoskeleton) an NPC is wearing, but I can't tell by sight, and if I kill them they don't drop the armor so I don't know what it is, but I would like to know what the name of said armor is

[hazy scarab]

It's about filtering them out in the dltx edit

[random fulcrum]

nah i'm too retarded for this

sorry

[static nebula]

learn how to format models and textures properly, rig the model, either find animations that fit them or make your own, create the config files, and probably a hundred other things im forgetting

[regal bolt]

hundred isn't good news

[static nebula]

not literally, but there's a bunch of different things you're gonna have to know how to do 😅
honestly if you know your way around computers and have a little bit of experience with blender, it's more time consuming than difficult

[regal bolt]

I see so blender is the recommended instead of maya

maya is harder or sth

it's better, though

[slow bolt]

use whatever you want

[regal bolt]

Im just familiar with maya but I assume its nothing to do with compatibility its just maya has a different interface and shortcut keys

[slow bolt]

To convert models to stalker you need plugins. I know blender has them. But idk about maya

Though ofc you can go maya->blender and save as stalker format that way if no tools available

[regal bolt]

Ill use blender then since Im not familiar with maya assets to be made compatible with blender and issues could occur

[static nebula]

Blender's free and I assume has more support, but I've heard there's a couple people who use Maya just fine :p

[regal bolt]

thats if they didn't have to go through something awfully time consuming on order to get it right, afterall blender must be easier due to the plugins

[slow bolt]

with blender you jsut save it with stalker's format and it just works. Assuming you have blender version below... 3.5 something? it was mentioned here
yeah below 3.5 #╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

[regal bolt]

Question does stalker gamma feature 3 reload segments?

[slow bolt]

Stalker gamma is stalker anomaly first. If you want more/better help modding you might want to also pop into anomaly discord
Answer to the question: idk i dont do that stuff

[regal bolt]

Save Ammunition Reload Segment

Rapid Reload Segment

And Empty Mag Segment

So possibly none of the weapon mods that has been chosen by gamma doesn't have it if that's what you mean

[static nebula]

Anomaly just has tactical reload and empty reload, you can have randomized variants with the use of a script though

[regal bolt]

Right because if it already has two I'm looking to add another one and possibly a inspection feature but first I gotta do the animations before I even plan that far

[static nebula]

We have inspections already, I'm not sure how adding a 3rd reload type would work though because I'm not a coder/scripter :p

[regal bolt]

Neither am I :/

[rigid sail]

Speaking of reloads, is there any easy way to tighten the reload timing without changing the animation itself? The G36, for instance, has a reload that takes around half a second longer than the animation to actually reload, and that keeps making me switch away from it to heal only to come back to an empty gun.

[static nebula]

I think you can add a marker to the animation to dictate when the gun actually becomes reloaded, I've never done it before so I'd have to look stuff up though

[full stratus]

No one knows?(

[river fjord]

while theoretically yes you could use whatever you want, youre going to have a really bad time not using something that already has import/export tools created for it unless you plan to write your own plugins
stalker uses pretty much exclusively old proprietary formats that no 3d software supports by default

[slow bolt]

Well from my experience you should be able to export hte model into commonly used format and open it in blender, then export it to stalker formats

would that not work? it aint a good way but it is a way

[river fjord]

youre still going to need some other third party software in that case to convert it in the first place tho

[static nebula]

blender needs a plugin to export in .ogf/other stalker formats

[river fjord]

you can, you can add them to unjams as well. the unjam/reload till happen at the marker instead of the end. make sure you add the motion mark to the hands omf.

[river fjord]

what would you possibly need AXR tool set for? that was a useful tool years ago before there was better tools for pretty much everything.
theres really no reason to use that shit in 2023

[slow bolt]

yeah that is exactly why i said to export to blender, then to stalker

[full stratus]

What is trending now? I need a program to make game archives (.db/.xdb) and sometimes OGF editor

AXR is very simple in making game archives

This Mod deactivates the Headlamp animation if "item animations" are disabled. The Problem ist, The Light is only working if you Hold "L" or the Lamp button. Can we fix this?

Its a short script, maybe somebody know what causes this and can fix it:

[noble fossil]

idk doesn't appear to be a set scale maybe be somthing with the ogf file

[river fjord]

that will do nothing at all, you need to scale the model in a 3d software like blender

[solid sparrow]

anyone know how to revert the change in the damage system where it has a chance to redirect arm damage to torso damage

[slow bolt]

iirc need to delete 3 lines in the script

basically need to delete that entire thing to disable redirecting

[onyx wagon]

is it possible to change weapons viewmodel? some guns with scopes take up 3/4 of the screen lol
i want to lower the viewmodel so the guns are more like in squad

i was told this is the place to ask

[solid sparrow]

dont know where exactly to find this script, is it on the 184- body health system mod or somewhere else

[slow bolt]

gamma medications balance

[solid sparrow]

found the line of code i think

actually hollup

this is the closest ive found to that, in the zzz_player_injuries.script file

actually this looks about right

im guessing this is the part where it has an 8% to redirect it to torso damage

lemme backup the .script file and try booting up gamma

[slow bolt]

yes

[atomic latch]

Where are the texture info of a model stored? As a comment in the model itself added via the sdk? Since I don't see any ltx file pointing at textures -> meshes

[slow bolt]

in the ogf file itself

[river fjord]

you can set texture paths in blender, the sdk or by opening the ogf in an editor

[atomic latch]

as I imagined, thanks!!

[austere lagoon]

Hi! Is it possible to export a modlist from MO2 so that I can share it with someone and they can see which addons are enabled?

[queen pine]

@austere lagoon Follow these instructions to send your mod list: <#╭📖faq message>
(if you're using this command somewhere else, send the file where it was asked)

[slow bolt]

dont ask in this chat. go to #🔨base-gamma-support or #🔨modded-gamma-support

[obsidian void]

anyone else noticed this?

[random fulcrum]

what

[obsidian void]

the text colors and the part condition color thresholds don't match

the bolt and carrier display red on the part but orange/yellow on the STATUS text. Also the barrel and trigger text. What script in WPO is controlling those colors? I'm trying to unify them

I think I found it

[mild kernel]

How do I make a mod mo2 compatable

[river fjord]

some folder with your mods name > gamedata > your mod
just look at literally any mod in mo2 and just copy its file structure

[mild kernel]

Ok thanks

[atomic latch]

Just by using blender it acutally worked, thanks! Only setting up the correct texture path has been a bit troublesome, as I thought it had to be anomaly one, but it had to be wherever the actual texture was instead... I was so bummed military exo light had the standard "legs" I had to do something Although the whole leg models should be changed and textures remade in better quality

[obsidian void]

Can any of you mega modding chads tell me how to edit zz_parts_in_tooltip.script so the parts are displayed at the top of the tooltip? I'm too stupid to understand how it works.

I removed the part condition text entirely, which is why it is no longer displayed. I don't like redundant info.

[static nebula]

yeah, its a big pain in the ass though
in the debug mode it's called the hud editor or something, you go into there and adjust it until it looks how you'd like it to, then put those values in the .ltx file for the weapon
there might be a better process for it but im not sure lol

[obsidian void]

that sounds like a start

[static nebula]

there's an additional mod you can use called "draggable hud editor" to make it slightly more bearable if youd like

[obsidian void]

bad news, these elements don't show up in the debug

[static nebula]

my bad, I was replying to someone else's question

[obsidian void]

oh woops lol

[meager yarrow]

i know theres a thermal mod that exists, but are there mods for flir scopes?

like the ones in tarkov?

[spark lily]

Is there coop mod at all, present or even in planning? Would be amazing

[spark lily]

Google says NO, with some disagreeing results sprinkled in between

[queen pine]

@spark lily GAMMA isn't multiplayer and will most likely never be, "most likely" because there's no Anomaly multiplayer project on going.
Here are the multiplayer projects currently under development:

• xrMPE is a match based coop experience that is available, it has the most solid netcode but it's not open world (https://www.moddb.com/mods/x-ray-multiplayer-extension)
• Ray of Hope is open world and in closed alpha (https://www.moddb.com/mods/ray-of-hope-co-op-online)

[river vault]

is there any thermal mode that isnt broken :D

i would love it

Heatvision is broken for sure

[random fulcrum]

it isn't

[jade oxide]

some mods with it should come out "soon"

at least it is in some projects i'm involved with.

[bold beacon]

how would i go about making a mod that changes faction relations?

[ruby fiber]

i believe that already exists on moddb

reputation edit or something like that

[bold beacon]

man i really wish i knew that sooner, balls deep in a game_relations.ltx file rn lmao

thanks anyways tho

[ruby fiber]

yaya

is there somewhere i can place wpn_ files to blacklist them from spawning in my gamma?

[atomic latch]

Do you know if it's possible to make a spawned team (even via debug tool) to stick to a smart terrain, like guards?

[meager yarrow]

does heatvision work w gamma?

[meager yarrow]

im testing this theory now lol

just installing the mod via MO2 doesnt work, youll have to move the gamedata folder out of the zip, and then rezip with just gamedata it seems

since the bin folder contains .exe's

for the launcher

[meager yarrow]

i added it to the game but i noticed stalkers werent dropping ammo

or much really

[hardy hound]

better ask anomaly devs

but they already said that there will never be a mp

[drifting dirge]

Hi there people! Looking to find out whether someone knows how come the jamming/misfire probability is so high on w_sr2_m1 and whether someone can point me to where I can modify such jamming/misfire probability. It just feels like it jams way too much even at 99% everything. I already edited misfire_probability, condition_queue_shot_dec, condition_shot_dec to 0.001; ef_weapon_type (unless I opted for the wrong value); and ammo impair. Any help/direction will be very much appreciated. Thanks!

[bronze harness]

Somebody help ! I can't export this

[slow bolt]

Check the full log

[cunning meteor]

Hello, there is this exosuit mod with animated computer. https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/exosuit-differences I want to try to make similar mod with more functionality. Can someone give idea what is the difficulty level of making this mod?

[slow bolt]

That is a rip from Gunslinger

[bronze harness]

how can i check the full log file? i can't find this

[cunning meteor]

I noticed, so is it doable

[tender pecan]

How about a mod that doesn't give the exact stash location, but marks a radius on the PDA around the stash. Would this make finding stashes more interesting?

[regal bolt]

it should work given the correct patches are installed in the correct order. the latest iteration of heatvision is largely dltx-ified and monkey patched iirc.

[river fjord]

the error is right in your screenshot, it says it doesnt like your export path

[surreal gust]

WIP

[surreal gust]

i have a problem

I wonder why isn't the grass shader showing up on the terrain

[surreal gust]

Seems like i forgot to use as diffuse option

probably that will fix it

[fiery cedar]

quick question, whats the mod that makes weapons non sold in traders?

is it a modified version of Trader overhaul or a separate mod?

[obsidian void]

Gamma economy removes weapons from traders, and touches many other aspects of the economy.

[jade marten]

any idea where ammo stack sizes are defined?

Im trying to make ammo recipes use 1:1 ratio of casings for ammo, but simply modifying the casing amount modifier doesnt work because some ammo stacks at amounts other than 15, which the crafting recipes seem to operate on

[random fulcrum]

box_size

[obsidian void]

does anyone know what determines the durability loss on tools with a percentage bar? For example, using the leatherman/multitool goes from 100% to 81 % on a single use, no matter what I change. I tried lowering the degradation_factor value from 0.025 all the way to 0.0 and it seems to have no effect whatsoever. I suspect there must be some kind of script controlling this?

[edgy tangle]

Where are outfit stats stored?

[obsidian void]

So. I figured it out. The item_repair script doesn't seem to be using the "degradation_factor" setting in the item_repair.ltx at all. I was able to fix that by adding self.degradation_factor = ini_sys:r_float_ex(section,"degradation_factor") or 0.2 under the function UIRepair:Reset(obj,section), and replacing the line utils_item.degrade(self.obj, degrade_factor) with utils_item.degrade(self.obj, self.degradation_factor). Now the script correctly references the value stated in the ltx file. If the variable is not present, it will return the script default of 0.2.

I suspect there may be other systems affected by this oversight.

[torpid pivot]

if you just want to make some changes dltx edits are the way to go

[edgy tangle]

explanations?

I basically just want more artifact slots on all outfits

[torpid pivot]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1160790224973078528

that probably does exactly what you want, if you want more/less expansive changes it should be a good starting point

[wary scroll]

Hi, I want to learn graphic modding for Anomaly . I wanted to know if you guys have a tutorial link for this

Most thing I wanna learn is skybox textures

And environment

[obsidian void]

I think the anomaly discord has several modding guides

[jade marten]

so if I wanted buckshot to perform better against mutants but about the same against stalkers, do I increase the arpen or just the base damage?

[slow bolt]

damage

[jade marten]

wait is that intended that the arpen on buckshot is 0.003?

[slow bolt]

its 3 ap, yeah basically

[jade marten]

well that explains why 3 shots .45 hydro outperforms 3 rounds of buck on a pseudodog

[slow bolt]

3 round of buck would destroy the dog

1 is enough usually

[fluid wharf]

Do ltx files in the configs folder (dltx mod system) get applied in alphabetical order?
I made some weapon repositions, and applying my script with the highest priority (last in the modlist) it seems to ignore the script.

Maybe i need to do like some mods where they put "zzz" to make it last? (gamedata/configs/<here>) (named mod_system_<name>.ltx)

~ I did use the ![wpn_example] format (exclamation before each wpn entry) which is the one that weapon repo mods use.

[jade marten]

maybe I just suck at aiming but the only mutants that I managed to kill in one shot of buck were tushkano
Ill just keep increasing base damage until I get the performance I want from it then

[torpid pivot]

Yes its alphabetical

[fluid wharf]

Thanks!

[obsidian void]

Does anyone know a way to spawn items with a certain condition in debug? Or change the condition of an item?

[river fjord]

db.actor:active_item():set_condition(0.1) will set the condition of your currently equipped item to 10%.
change the 0.1 to something else for a different value, no idea for stuff you cant equip tho

[obsidian void]

damn I'm testing parts so yeah can't equip those, but at least I can test weapon conditions so thanks

[river fjord]

drop it on the ground and shoot it a few times

[obsidian void]

yep that's what I was doing before it's just tedious.

That reminds me, it's funny that people complain about their enemies dropping low condition guns, but guns get damaged from being shot all the time

[ruby fiber]

do you think we'll ever see the three new level mods integrated into vanilla GAMMA?

[obsidian void]

probably, they work fine. At least, as far as I can tell

[ruby fiber]

i want em but can't be bothered to do the whole modified exes thing

seems like something i would fuck up

[river fjord]

what you mean? exes are just drag and drop
gamma is just a modpack for anomaly, im sure you can add them fine

[ruby fiber]

i was looking through the readme on demonized's binaries it looked like a lot lol

i dont want to have to reinstall anomaly and gamma from scratch if i mess it up

[river fjord]

the only info relevant to 99% of end users are these pictures that show people who dont know how to use github how to install them

[river fjord]

just backup your current exes to a different folder first if youre that worried

[ruby fiber]

see i am inexperienced as fuck idk how to back those up

the most i have done is get gamma and a couple other easy mo2 .zip mods

[river fjord]

if youre unsure how to copy & paste a file from one folder to another then yes maybe you should avoid it actually

[ruby fiber]

oh well okay i can do that

i guess i figured it would be more than just a copy paste

[river fjord]

backing up anything is just copying the files to somewheres else

[ruby fiber]

thanks barry will report back with results

[obsidian void]

You don't need to. GAMMA already uses modified EXE's. Just install the mod and the DLTX patches for it (search level or levels on moddb and you'll find the DLTX patches for loot drops and DAO or Arrival, whichever you use) and then you will have to start a new game to be able to access the levels, unfortunately.

[river fjord]

a lot of newer things require the most up to date exes, which gamma certainly doesnt use.
just as one example, I have multiple things coming out soon that wont work at all without the absolute newest ones as the point of updating the exes was to add the required engine edits for the new mods in the first place

you also do not need a new game for those levels

[obsidian void]

Well, that's how I did it and it worked. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The levels got added to my old save however the transition points didn't, which left the levels inaccessible even though they were on the map. I started a new save as the moddb page states you need to start a new game, and everything worked.

[river fjord]

youre probably right in this instance, i doubt the new levels require the newest exes. they probably make use of only the dltx functionality but you do need to be careful in general tho, you cant just grab any exes from any mod or date and call it good to go. theres a lotttt of stuff out there that requires a certain version or newer to function

[obsidian void]

471 mods and counting baby let's goooooooo

[ruby fiber]

i mean

[ruby fiber]

we still need the Visual C++ Redistributables though yes?

[river fjord]

no, you as an end user shouldnt touch anything on that page other then whats in that screenshot
you need certain redistributables to launch anomaly in general

[ruby fiber]

okay understood ty for patience

[obsidian void]

Does anyone know of an existing mod that uses a script to update a value in an .ltx file? Or some method to do so? I want to make repair tools min/max condition variables adjustable via mcm

[river fjord]

you could look at pretty much any mod that has mcm settings,
thats what mcm is doing in the first place, just updating ltx or other script values and saving them
the github has a lot of info: https://github.com/RAX-Anomaly/Anomaly-Mod-Configuration-Menu

[bronze harness]

BAS silencers and 553s into USAS, but only USAS textures don't work.

[elder badge]

Hi.

I want to add my own uses to the game but doing it this way does not work. Pictures)

Any idea?

[elder badge]

for drug it is working but for some reason mineral water and flask wont change

[obsidian void]

I know how to make an MCM menu, what I'm having trouble finding is a script that modifies the values of an .ltx file

[obsidian void]

Your dltx file is named incorrectly. It should be mod_system_realisticuses.ltx.

By the way, the mod you are making already exists on moddb.

[elder badge]

yeah I find out, again now it is like this

Everything works exept the mineral and flask

I just added to hes file.

[obsidian void]

Some other mod probably has a dltx file overriding your behavior. Dltx is loaded alphabetically. Try naming it mod_system_zzzz_realisticuses

[elder badge]

Oh I see

Thnkx makes sense it is at the end of mod orginizer but that does not matter to much I see

[obsidian void]

That matters for other stuff, but not for dltx

[elder badge]

Yea thats what I figured when you said that. Gonna do it now

Yup pretty much worked! Awesome

Thank you btw

[obsidian void]

Np. You can search your files in MO2 for "mod_" to see all the dltx files and find conflicts. If I had to guess, the conflicting mod is fillable canteens.

[river fjord]

Like 90% of mods that have mcm do. Can look at my world spawns rework for an example. Link can be found through the modpage in my bio, I'm on mobile right now

[obsidian void]

Word I'll have a look at it

[turbid lily]

any idea where to start looking when building a gui?

[random fulcrum]

familiarize yourself with blender

[obsidian void]

My brain might be too smooth for this... I need a simpler example. Looks like most mods with MCM settings actually modify script values, not .ltx values.

[jade marten]

if I wanted to adjust MM psy ghost behavior, what files would I have to look at?

[rancid ginkgo]

anyone wish that the warfare part of this game was more advance

like you becoming a soldier at first to gain a rank of recruit then when you get SGT you gain a small troop of units then when you get to a higher rank of like LT you could buy units to support other units like there would be many LT in the zone and each one has their own troops and location the control and your job would be to support the others

idk i wish there was more to it :( maybe in stalker 2

[unborn agate]

what are your top mods for a new playthrough on the new patch?

[jade marten]

aight I found the files I wanted to adjust

[thick shell]

Some maps feel really unpopulated, is there a way to change weights or something along those lines?

[toxic sky]

Hey is there a mod to change acog picture sight to look like this?

Or something similar?

[steady apex]

its called vanilla anomaly

[jade marten]

so thats what kills my framerate when looking at a campfire

[jade marten]

does the ordenador texture compression trick still work for anomaly/gamma?

[river fjord]

no idea what "trick" youre referring to but you export as bc3 with mipmaps & kaiser filter most most non-ui related

you can use any compression software

[jade marten]

oh the "trick" was that it just worked out of the box with misery's textures without any preparation and with decent results

the heavy textures used to be a problem on older hardware that made the game super unstable

very sorry i did not mean to post here

[obsidian void]

can anyone here enlighten me on the arguments I can use in the SYS_GetParam function? I am modifying a script which calls the function like so: SYS_GetParam(0, cell.section, "kind", "na")

I understand that it is calling the item's "kind" variable, but what do 0, cell.section, and "na" do?

[random fulcrum]

1. type: 0 returns strings, 1 returns bool, 2 returns floats
2. where to look
3. what to look
4. what it defaults to if nothing is found

think SYS_GetParam(2, "wpn_akm", "fire_distance", 100) would mean:
search inside the akm's definition (wpn_akm) for its max range (fire_distance) and return as a float. if nothing is found, return 100

@obsidian void

[obsidian void]

Thank you

[random fulcrum]

fourth argument is optional as typing
SYS_GetParam(2, "wpn_akm", "fire_distance") or 100
is the same as
SYS_GetParam(2, "wpn_akm", "fire_distance", 100)
essentially

[obsidian void]

[torpid pivot]

Is there a best practice for directly editing a gamma script?
at the moment I'm just copying the file, making my edit and loading it later in MO

[fiery cedar]

Is it a separate downloadable mod?

Sorry for asking but Im curious as my friend whos playing vanilla also wants to remove guns from traders

[obsidian void]

no I don't think so. It does more than just change traders though it also affects loot drops on stalkers and probably other stuff too

yeah lots of other stuff it utilizes many injection scripts

[fiery cedar]

Oh, damn i thought I could just send him the file and he too can enjoy

OK is it part of the base script of something else? I guess it shoud still work if it pops up in MO2. If it separate, would you mind telling me where to find the file?

[obsidian void]

just search economy in the mo2 and you can right click and open the mod folder in explorer, you can look through the files if you want. The gamma trade tables in gamedata\configs\items\trade do most of the work when it comes to defining what traders buy/sell. They likely have many references to items that he would not have if he doesn't have gamma to begin with. IDK for sure if that would break anything if he just transplanted that part of the mod or not.

It's all a big pile of spaghetti that kind of holds itself up, when you start messing with one thing it usually effects several other mods

more like a jenga tower maybe

[torpid pivot]

config/items/trade/ has all of the trader files you want

there are going to be items referenced that aren't in vanilla anomaly, if you don't remove those the game will 100% crash

[obsidian void]

that's what I suspected

[torpid pivot]

it would probably be easier to use the anomaly unpacker, grab the vanilla files and manually remove what you don't want

or just tell your friend to install gamma 😉

[fiery cedar]

ok thanks guys

[brave tartan]

Hello, anyone using Zver hud and minimap on 21:9 monitor? Im trying to fix it for 21:9 and combine with whatever Girth does to the UI so far fixed minimap but bhs seems to be broken. I wonder if someone else tried to do it too?

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1097606453696667721/1160988377064149072/image.png?ex=6536a9af&is=652434af&hm=0a3f1a4dbf7cea6278df136cf05046bda1fda473b16bebd9c224980545b8ef3d&

How it should look ( when u open inventory it is fine)

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1097606453696667721/1160988425931980800/image.png?ex=6536a9ba&is=652434ba&hm=c5f18d5e2455936cc6c99c07a3a6a708b26cbda7ea10395221b11752a865b50b&

Not sure if red one should be above probs another problem but at least lined up

[atomic latch]

U playing as a Karlik?

[brave tartan]

Nope playin on 21:9 so its squished, after I try to fix position will also try to fix the size too

[brave tartan]

Whats the problem anyway maybe rollplaying as a burer xD

[atomic latch]

Btw I only edited main screen positions and companion HUD icons positions, but it should be all the same: in the mod's HUD config file you should find the lines with the name of those parts of the HUD and edit the X Y positions to make them match, it should have also size, so upping Y size should unsquish it
It's a very tedious work tbh, back up the file just in case you mess it up and want to start over

[vocal ledge]

I want to increase the size of the weapon clip using the weapon stats editor in debug mode. But after applying the changes, the size of the clip remains the same. I tried to log back into the game. I tried to change the .ltx file manually. Does anyone know how I can still change the size of the clip?

[river fjord]

you can edit the magazine size by editing the ammo_mag_size value of the ltx, if its not working for you then its likely getting overridden somewheres else, you should always test things in a fresh install to avoid this

[rocky cave]

please tell me if there is any cool addon for new guns

[static nebula]

UGP, Juan's, Retrogue's, TCWP, and whatever you can find on ModDB

[steady minnow]

has anyone already made a mod to allow the 60 round 5.45 39 mags to be retooled to 556 45 in Mags Redux? I'm looking at doing this rn

mags redux nerfed my ak monolit 2.0 xD

[simple scaffold]

It is stupidly easy to do. If one of those mags is already retool able open it up and find the retool group line and add that same line to the other mag. If neither mag has a retool group make up a new group a name and add it to both mags

Look at a mag you know can be retooled to find the syntax if you need

[steady minnow]

Ok I see. I appreciate that within the ltx it's basically already got a guide

[simple scaffold]

I just noticed that the integration guide doesn't cover retool groups. I should probably add something.

[simple scaffold]

I tried to make the ltx files as simple as possible.

The hardest part is how the weapon, magazines and base type ltx files relate to each other. That is what the integration guide covers

[steady minnow]

yea figuring out how the ltx files are working with each other has been mostly my trouble with all of my mod editing, messing with this is actually really helpful as far as that goes due to how well you made it, kudos

[red tree]

@regal bolt sorry to ping you dude, but i was hoping i could ask a few questions about textures thms and bumps, adding, swapping and replacing.

[unkempt pecan]

Hello, which file sets leatherman_tool durability drain on repair?

[obsidian void]

Zing, I have been working on this. The items_repair.ltx is where the Leatherman is defined. Unfortunately, the repair script does not call on the "degradation_factor" value defined in the ltx. The script itself sets the value arbitrarily at 0.2 (20%). So no matter what the value in the ltx file, it will always remove 20% of it's durability.

I have a modified version of the repair script which corrects this issue. I can send it to you later. It's part of a larger rework of WPO I am working on which aims to be configurable and also more logical.

[thorn pivot]

where is mod support?

[unkempt pecan]

I started suspecting that would be the case after checking nearly every related file. Out of pure curiosity, which script has the hardcoded value?

[obsidian void]

Item_repair.script. a few days ago I posted about how I fixed this issue. #╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

Iirc this script is still a vanilla anomaly script, so you might need to unpack the files to see it

Oh one more thing, this edit might affect the behavior of script in the "keep crafting window open" mod concerning the repair window. It uses this same default value of 0.2 (which it unsuccessfully tries to retrieve from item_repair.script) to perform the calculations which keep the window open if the condition is above the minimum. I also have an edited version of that script, but I'm not 100% if it is working correctly. I have changed other aspects of WPO so I'm not sure if something else is breaking the script.

[river fjord]

have you talked to arti at all? (the creator of wpo)
theyre very very active in the community and quite a few people's mods require certain wpo versions to function
might be worth letting people know what youre plans are if youre going to rework someone elses stuff whose very active still

No, I'm mainly focusing on just getting the systems working the way I want right now. So far I'm trying to keep my edits as clean as possible, monkey patches and dltx.

Unfortunately this also touches on several other mod systems as well. I'm just proof of concepting my idea. If it works I'll try to build it as an addon to sit on top of the stack, not like an actual full rewrite of WPO if that makes sense.

I also don't know for sure if my version will be fun to play, annoying, or break the game balance in some horrible unexpected way, so I need to test it lol

But that being said, I don't think item_repair.script is part of WPO. Could be wrong, I'm not at my PC. But I think that's why the scripts aren't on the same page with this value. My edit to the script is quite minimal and reads the value dynamically so it doesn't break anything in WPO

[remote crown]

When messing with scripts or XML related to the PDA, is it possible to reinitialize those without closing and restarting the game? F7->Num0->F5 doesn't seem to work for these.

[obsidian void]

Scripts yes, xml no.

[remote crown]

What about a script that does DXML things? I'll add a print_r, do the F7/0/F5 thing, and I won't see the print_r until I exit and restart.

[obsidian void]

I'm not sure dxml can print to console, but a script can. In my experience though I've been able to update scripts and dxml files and reload with console. Works as long as you aren't trying to create a new file while the game is running, that doesn't work. And XML seems to be loaded on first boot although maybe someone here knows some console wizardry to refresh them

[remote crown]

Alrighty thank you!

does anybody know what's the booster id for stamina regen

[fossil birch]

I think it's boost_power_restore

[red tree]

question about db unpack. do i need something else ? i seen something about axr toolset. sorry im trying to learn how to extract textures.

am i even using the right thing ?

or if someone can direct me to a guide on here im not aware of would be helpful. thank you

[river fjord]

you can unpack the anomaly textures by double clicking the unpacker_all.bat script that is in the tools folder of your anomaly install. that will unpack all the art assets. can also edit the bat in any text editor to get to unpack more or less or different locations etc

[red tree]

what if i wanted to extract textures hidden in packs and other mods ?

[river fjord]

99% chance theyre not packed to begin with then, just open the mod directory

[red tree]

is there a beginners guide to all this cos youve lost me already sorry i literally know almost nothing about modding

[river fjord]

i mean, not really, if you want a texture from a specific mod just right click that mod in mo2 and open the folder and just look in the textures folder

[red tree]

ah ok so when i install late fall for example i will be able to see those textures that were hidden, cos i cant see them when i just do a normal extract. hippo told me i needed db unpacker to get the textures from it

still just map dds. i need the ground textures from this mod

[river fjord]

if who ever hippo is packed their textures for some stupid reason then yeah youll have to use either the method above i explained with editing the bat file or just using the unpacker you posted screenshots of

[red tree]

ok editing bat file sounds out of my realm haha. i guess ill try the latter

[river fjord]

just paste the path to the dbs in the input and where ever you want them to be unpacked to in the output

[red tree]

thanks Barry

[river fjord]

np glgl

[red tree]

k ive probably done the wrong thing and understood you completely wrong

is this incorrect ? i dunno what im doing lmao

nothing is happening so i assume im really doing something wrong haha

nvm i just seen this

im an idiot

[river fjord]

just make sure your paths are to the exact folders

[red tree]

hopefully ive done the right thing. that output path is a specific folder i made (to keep textures somewhere i dont get confused) . am i on the right track ?

and should i be using unpack or repack

and no compress or compress ?

cos all i see are these now

trial and error ill figure it out

YES @river fjord THANKS BRO

[random fulcrum]

no that's part of the properties

[red tree]

hey @river fjord sorry to bother you again. but do you know if there is another program or something i can use to see the matrix haha ?

example i want to find fast ways to indentify the name of a texture being used without looking through files and identifying by visual

[river fjord]

you can open the map in blender and click on things to see what texture its using
as far as i know aside from that there is no other way

[red tree]

ok now i gotta learn another thing, my dude thank you

[red tree]

im really sorry to keep asking stuff but what exactly do i do to make the xray plug in work in blender. i followed the guide and its not there

i assume im using the wrong file

[river fjord]

do not use blender 3.5 or above if youre going to do anything with levels first of all but you just install it the same as any other plugin. preferences > plugins > install plugin & double click the zip file.
if youre new to blender i honestly dont recommend this route, its probably faster for you to just look for the textures in the files

[red tree]

i tried that but man its hard matching up what im seeing and looking through all the textures to match up

so time consuming

[red tree]

like is it really hard once ive got the map in there is what ur saying ? im gonna have trouble even finding the textures?

[river fjord]

it will be if you dont know the basics of the program

you might as well try tho, once you get the plugin sorted, import the level file without a file extension. youll probably need to show-hidden in that folder to see it from the blender import menu

[red tree]

ok thanks again Barry

[slow bolt]

agree on that part. Blender is very much not friendly until you realise some of its basics

[river fjord]

fersure

bledner is a lot of fun tho and i think more people should learn it
There is a lot of good resources out there too

[red tree]

i think ill give it a go im having fun and passing time like crazy, like getting lost in this

[river fjord]

this is one of the best guides to learn imo, he makes a new one every time a new major version of blender comes out
its not a tutorial about making a donut, its more a tutorial that goes over all the basics of the UI and all the different editors, teaches you a bit of everything, while making a donut at the same time

Not the donut

Day 2 with fresh eyes -- my script was updating when reloading, the problem was that I was only looking at the log file. I saw the flush command in another comment in here and that got me what I wanted. thanks again for pointing me in the right direction

[obsidian void]

Word

[jade marten]

Ive been trying to find the files defining grenade launchers but either im blind or the alternative
can anyone point me in the right direction?

[obsidian void]

Start by checking the name of the item in debug menu that can point you in the right direction

[blissful lake]

Is there a mod to re introduce drop tables for recipes? being able to craft all ammo at start and being able to buy recipes is just SO fucking lame and boring. I had a backup of the old trader inventory without recipe shit and drop tables but I deleted before updating

[random fulcrum]

damn that's based as fuck what can i say

[surreal gust]

if anyone has a link to where how to make a map in blender and then make it work in the sdk send it here

autodesk sucks

[dim whale]

What line of code do I need to spawn by section when spawning objects in debug menu

For example I want to spawn in stalker_monolith_fstalker_sunrise_1

[dim whale]

where the fuck is this

[river fjord]

you just click on its section name from the spawn list
you cant just spawn npc "models" tho, you need to assign the model to a squad or unique character id and spawn that id to spawn it via debug

[dim whale]

well how do i do it

[river fjord]

If you're just trying to test how something looks and aren't familiar with making new npcs then probably easiest to just replace the npc visual of an existing unique npc and spawn that

[dim whale]

idk how to do that

also i mean to literally spawn a female

side note

where tf is this on the mods list

[river fjord]

Mod list? I'm talking about editing game files.
If you're referring to editing some mod gamma modpack has downloaded and added, can't really help you, no idea what's in that soup

[woeful bear]

is there a mod that makes your hud dissapear out of combat, then reapear during combat

or say when you take damage?

[red tree]

hey guys, i have a question about bumps and thms again. Im currently about to change textures of some dead trees into live ones and i noticed that the anomaly trees have bumps and thms but mods for gamma dont usually have bumps or thms for trees. so my question is do i need to rename the live ones im replacing them to and can i only use anomaly live ones to replace them because I havent noticed a mod with bumps or thms for trees

[red tree]

dynamic hud

[woeful bear]

thank you

[red tree]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1097606453696667721

example this confuses me

do i really even need the thm and bumps if im replacing to stuff like the left one ? cos theres not even thms or bumpsin that but anomaly has

anomaly

one mod with none at all one mod with only bumps and anomaly with bumps and thms

i assume i will if im completely renaming a live texture to the dead names. i assume that the trees from gamma mods just fall back on the bumps and thms of anomaly and if i dont include renamed bumps and thms that they will look weird? sorry for long question and also sorry i hope i made sense

[surreal gust]

thm files are required

same goes for bumps and shit

[red tree]

thanks dude just making sure so i didnt waste time.

[surreal gust]

yeah

i think these files are generated through actor editor

if i remember

[red tree]

no idea. i got the bumps and thms i need tho. so all good

im doing this to try and replace trees ive noticed are still dead around the zone with green trees on. do you know if me even changing these to the dead names will work or if im gonna waste my time ?

like so

[river fjord]

changing the name is fine, youll need to change (file path) the name inside the thm too,
use something like https://github.com/VaIeroK/THM-Editor/releases

[red tree]

so just changing the thm name isnt enough ?

Barry ur a godsend haha

[river fjord]

no, theres a file path inside the thm data, changing only the file name will break that path, you need to edit the path inside the thm too

just download that program and set thm file types to always open with the program by default so you can just double-click them each time

[red tree]

thanks Bazza ur a legend

i almost didnt ask for help too. would have just broke shit and wasted time haha

[river fjord]

not having bumps or thms isnt necessarily going to break anything, the game will still boot up and run fine,
your textures will look like shit tho without them

[red tree]

ah oky. yeh i dont want that either

i think ive already done that to a couple fo things but i forgot what ones oh well no complaints yet haha

[river fjord]

9 out of 10 times you see a super shiny texture in game that isnt suppose to be shiny, its just the person didnt set up the thms correctly

[red tree]

oh sweet, least i know how to identify it now

[red tree]

btw jus to clarify this is just for texture replacing or adding new right ? if anomaly has the bumb and thm already its fine and the mods wont need it ?

like i only need to do this cos im replacing a texture completely right ? if its already same, name and same mesh... (is that the right term?) the mod wont need it. i dunnno if im being dum or not lol

[river fjord]

depends on what kind of quality you want to achieve, a bump map is basically a normal map + roughness channel. you can reuse the bump from the original texture if you want but its going to be the normals and roughness for that original texture and not your new one so itll look pretty bad if the texture isnt spot on 1-to-1 with the UVs
thms are just files to set the right bump + a few settings, theyre far more reusable then the bumps themselves imo

[red tree]

ok this is very interesting because ive noticed so many mods dont even have the thms or bumps for textures

are they hidden ?

[river fjord]

thats why so many look like shit

[red tree]

is this what xr logic was talking about

[red tree]

ohhhh ohky lmfaooo

[river fjord]

nope, just lazy creators doing lazy work

[red tree]

bruh how can i make this pack with incomplete mods

😭

[river fjord]

what that person is talking about is an ancient way of generating a thm, you can do that if your insane and want to spend 20min generating a new thm instead of just duplicating an existing one and changing the parameters with the tool i linked earlier

[red tree]

this will solve them looking like shit too ur way ?

[river fjord]

i genuinly dont know why anyone would use the actor editor in 2023, weve had much better standalone tools for pretty much everything for years now

[red tree]

and what about bumps

bump is what makes them have depth or something ?

and am i gonna have to use the original ones for that?

that looks like actual making textures ...

cos i cant do that haha

[river fjord]

yes, theyre very important. theres a ton of tools to generate them for you but theyre all absolutely terrible, making your own will give you way better results
https://www.pluralsight.com/blog/film-games/bump-normal-and-displacement-maps

[red tree]

and i need to learn how to develop for that right ? jeeez

[surreal gust]

i use hybridxray tho

much better improvements

[river fjord]

how are you getting the textures youre trying to replace them with if youre not making them?
whatever source youre pulling from should have bump or normal maps too

[surreal gust]

also it took me a couple of seconds to generate them

[red tree]

this what i was gonna use barry

right is the texture i was gonna use than rename for those names. but the thms and bumps i was gona rename are... one sec

so i will use the right one and these together and rename to dead ones

but yeh basically wanted to do that for all the dead ones

same thing for all types that have a dead option

[red tree]

oh i just realised that was a question asking where am i sourcing them. those bumps and thms are anomaly. most the mods ive gotten nature textures didnt even have bumps and thms

like this is aydins

🤷🏻‍♂️

late fall

adega

same thing

can you see why im so confused ?

also this is the long method you were refering to ?

[river fjord]

i dont know who any of those people are and i dont use any of those mods so im really not sure, cant tell you more about why
they either used existing naming conventions to overwrite those few textures and use the original bumps or theyre just stupid, former is likely if they dont look like shit in game

[red tree]

im a little more confused now cos i just realised. aydins is what we all use pretty much..

that has literally no bumps or thms in there

[river fjord]

aydins is what we all use pretty much..
is it what gamma is using by default or something?
i dont play gamma, visually i dont think it looks very good compared to other modpacks or setting stuff up yourself

[red tree]

yeh its default

maybe if i install it from moddb it has them 🤷🏻‍♂️

but that wouldnt explain all the other ones that dont haha

[dim whale]

Guys what mod do I need to change my companions name

[river fjord]

i think its more likely you just find them in the vanilla files

[red tree]

well yes thats what i was thinking, it just uses the ones in anomaly

[red tree]

cos thats where these are from

and thats not really a bad quality bump right ?

[red tree]

2k

[river fjord]

resolution doesnt equal quality

if it fits im sure itll be fine tho

[red tree]

yeh true i just remembered

these were supposed to be 2k

[red tree]

ok thanks Barry sorry to ask so much stuff

take care

[river fjord]

np, glgl

[red tree]

oh man this is overwhelming

i dunno what setting to use or what to do

editing notes seems easier lmao

[river fjord]

dont just open the program on its own, open an existing thm with the program, everything will already be filled out. you just need to edit the bump path at the bottom

[red tree]

ok so now i choose the texture i want in detail and it will create a new thm and bump with that name?

whats normal map and detail for i should ask

ok thats not right haha

also i just realised i used the wrong thm

uhhhhhhh

help

ive seen it before but now ill ask. why is there a bump# and bumpthm

[river fjord]

bump# is just a fall back texture, it will never be used ever if you have your regular textures set up properly

[red tree]

thanks, also am i doing something wrong. when i try to open this thm its not opening the app and i cant see it if i try load it manually. is it because where i put them ?

i can see the bumps and texture tho

[river fjord]

just right click the thm and click "open with" then set the program as the default.

[red tree]

yeh its not working

[river fjord]

how so?

[red tree]

i try to open with and than nothing happens

[river fjord]

click choose another app and navigate to where its installed

[red tree]

oky

nothing

is my pc broken

ok some sorcery is happening. i think something underlying has happend to the thms when i moved them from the original folder

because i can load other thms just not those

i just noticed not even the anomaly ones have been done correct either Barry

see the naming in the thm and the name of the texture and files

maybe why red forest looks worst

[river fjord]

you opening them with a notepad is whats breaking them im fairly sure

[red tree]

oh shit

can i fix it ?

wait lemme test

see if i can open that one i just opened

nah still works

maybe cos i copied them and didnt drag ?

nah that doesnt make sense either right ..

[red tree]

ok it just works for the red forest thms. now im mega confused. im just editing the notes. i only wanna change 5 textures this is taking too long

ok that was way easier

[red tree]

should i notify Grok of this too ?

[river fjord]

what would grok have to do with any of those files?
this is just a modpack for anomaly, its just anomaly with a bunch of mods pre-installed on top of it

[red tree]

i dunno thats why i asked haha. thought maybe all the modders did something with anomaly too. now i know i guess

[river fjord]

well yes, most people including me make mods for anomaly, not some specific mod repack
if youre serious about moding you really should join the anomaly main discord, a lot more knowledgeable people to answer the same questions there

[red tree]

well I don't want to learn crazy hard stuff, like you. I don't know if I got the patience for that. if it comes to me slowly without the stress than yeh haha. ill join and ask questions if I need help though. thanks for recommendation.

do i need to wait for a timer or something to talk in there ?

[river fjord]

nope

[red tree]

apparently i dont have access to talk or see anything

[broken coral]

Yo, everyone. First of all, I barely speak English, so as for coding language... I would like to ask : to change a command in the disguise folder, how concretely can I proceed ?

[broken coral]

Actually, I want to modify the "faction patches" factor to makes it valid for ALL the patches (to start, not only the default_com --- "Your true faction", for instance). IDK if I am right or clear...

[river fjord]

maybe there is when you first join, im really not sure

[red tree]

its ok ill just wait for a bit see what happens haha thanks.

[red tree]

anyone know if this is shader related or texture related ?

[hidden timber]

activate windows

[brave tartan]

someone mentioned I can open stalekr map in blender, any tips on how to ?

I found the addon on github for blender to be aple to open x-ray files. but when I try to open level in blender it jsut crashes after like 10-20 seconds of loading

@river fjord Im sorry to ping ya, was told u might know how to open game map in blender. I found the blender addon but it crashes when I try to open it

[river fjord]

you need to import the level file with no file extension

[red tree]

sorry Barry i said you were very helpful haha

[brave tartan]

yeah thats what I select

it jsut loads (mouse becomes that hourglass as if its loading) and blender jsut closes

[river fjord]

blender 3.5 and above also has a lot of issues with stalker maps. i recommend a version lower then that

[brave tartan]

that one ye

[red tree]

i think old mate had a concussion

[river fjord]

yep. what version of blender are you on?

[brave tartan]

3.5 unfortunately, had it installed for other game modding

[hidden timber]

damn

my bad

[brave tartan]

Ill jsut download 2.93.0

[river fjord]

you can try to import a smaller level as well to see if that helps. try something like meadows or the test map as the levels do require a lot of ram to load up. see if that works, if not try a lower blender version

[river fjord]

no thats some stone age shit, just get like anything 3+

i use 3.3.2 personally and can confirm all maps load up perfect

[brave tartan]

I mean on addon github page says supported versions are >

[river fjord]

the documentation page hasnt been updated in years, the addon has been uploaded like 100 times since those docs.

[brave tartan]

oh okay

let me try with meadow first

[river fjord]

yeah try a small map first

[brave tartan]

there is no meadow folder 😄

[river fjord]

do fake start

its the smallest

[brave tartan]

шытефте дщфв

[river fjord]

honestly its so small it might just load fine no matter what

[brave tartan]

instant load

[river fjord]

yeah try something a little bigger like cordon

[brave tartan]

smth bigger

[river fjord]

cordon is the one called l01_escape

[brave tartan]

omg they are even called diff -_-

[red tree]

yeh wtf

ohhh cos they come from original games escape from pripyat...?

wait no thats not orignal game lol brain fart

[brave tartan]

def not 😄

[red tree]

thats fkn mod lol

[brave tartan]

and no cordon does not load either, guess gonna download blender version barry using

[red tree]

the naming of files was something that really confused me while making this pack tho. so many things named random stuff which is what makes them hard to find. like the balcony texture

[brave tartan]

had hippo mentioned when coudl we expect new version of atmos?

saw few pics it looks so damn amazing

[red tree]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1036172060969410590

[brave tartan]

yeah I saw that, just waitin for the update

@river fjord okay escape is loaded, cannot recognize anything, but how do I check what textures are anywhere?

[river fjord]

if you hide the cform mesh and LOD collections youll be able to see a lot better, same with lights etc. just uncheck all the collections that arent the mesh and set the color to textures instead of solid

[red tree]

https://tenor.com/view/woah-wren-weichman-corridor-crew-wow-shocked-gif-25899954

[river fjord]

just click on things and look at the name of the image its using in the materials panel

[brave tartan]

cant even zoom it further for some reason

at one point zooming in stops

[river fjord]

this is why i stress its import to learn the baisc controls of the programs youre trying to use. i linked a good guide above to tired

[brave tartan]

yeah I had very little experience using it before just created a few models together with unity

[river fjord]

once you do get to what you want to see, you can use this to find the texture its using

[brave tartan]

yeah I found that part. on the zoom note. it does say ctrl + scroll or shift +scroll both works but stops at one point

oh I found 2 more wait

` will zoom on object

and / will show zoomed in ONLY selected option

good

thansk Barry!!!

will go try to load the pripyat again

[river fjord]

nice! glgl

[red tree]

this the video Barry recommended too https://youtu.be/nIoXOplUvAw?si=Bxa4icWSUGfgCnZU

[brave tartan]

anyone knows how outskirts could be called differently in the anomaly files?

like cordon is called escape

I tried to open pripyat but ofc it did not include outskirts

[torpid pivot]

probably 1_pripyat

[brave tartan]

nah thats jsut pripyat without outskirts

[torpid pivot]

you checked both?

[brave tartan]

checked one pripyat theres another falder called just pripyat opening it now, mby its that

[torpid pivot]

yeah i think it's that one

[brave tartan]

its so slow to load it aaaaa

yes I believe it is that map, need to locate smth I know

actually I think I see it

yes its that

@river fjord sorry to ping, one small question, for x-ray import is it possible to make preview work too ?

[river fjord]

not sure sorry

[brave tartan]

no prob, was just wondering if its possible

considering its x-ray and its ancient extentions

[atomic latch]

u need to go in "shading" and re-link the texture afaik, at least that's what I had to do with some armor parts, even with the correct paths set in the addon

[river fjord]

soonTM
sounds are very WIP, dosimeter & anomaly device sounds arent even started

[formal valve]

god damn those animations are wild !

[torpid pivot]

holy shit those look amazing

wow looks amazing

WHATS THE NAME OF TTHE MOD GOING TO BE

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-meme-i-need-it-gif-14006288

[brave tartan]

one question who worked on maps or smth related. first pic is as u can see floating in the air bushes (called trees_bushes_00), in the game they look like second pick, a growing bushes out of the tree, tree itself is not even on the map where does it come from?

[red tree]

oh yeh Hunlight theres an anomaly discord where all the anomaly modders are too

[brave tartan]

not going that deep I want to play more than mod xD just gonna help ya with some textures thats it xD already too big of a hassle to make gamma work some time xD

[red tree]

referring to this question. only anomaly modders will know most likely

[brave tartan]

who knows, the lower (invisible tree) does have bark textures

sooo

[red tree]

yee i dunno, psssst Barry

[scenic crest]

who knows if immersive sleeping addon in GAMMA account level.change_game_time as passed time?

looks like it's not

i have addon which passes 15 to 30 minutes of game time when saving by campfire (like you rest for some time when you save)

and immersive sleep is not registering those timeskips at all, so i'm at night and can't sleep

i'm pretty sure that vanilla sleeping script was registering level.change_game_time correctly

[scenic crest]

where can i seek manual for availible RegisterScriptCallback callbacks?

[slow bolt]

All callbacks are listed in one of the scripts in anomaly

If you unpack game files you can search for it until you find it

[scenic crest]

thanks

[random fulcrum]

axr_main has all the callbacks

also callbacks_gameobject

in gamedata\scripts\

since it's from modded exes and not from vanilla

[scenic crest]

thanks, unfortunately there's no callback where game time changes

i'm thinking of adding my own into my saving script, and modifying immersive sleep and thirst to support it

like compatibility patch

but oh god, why those scripts saving sleepiness and thirst in real-life seconds and not in game minutes, this complicates things...

am i correct that timescale is 1:10?

[obsidian void]

I don't know the first thing about stalker mapping but my guess is somehow that piece of geometry is referencing a model in the game files and telling the map what location and azimuth or w/e to load the model. Apparently tree models are super weird which is why nobody has replaced them or smth

[scenic crest]

oh, so i can actually do this and fiddle with other scripts from within my own?

amazing

no need to overwrite anything then

or do i?

weird, i can see only some variables and functions from _G table, fully random

why in the world i can see only start_blur4 in that table?

and not start_blur1, 2 and 3

if they all local

and in the same place

what in the world is going on

[scenic crest]

god, i'm so unhappy with that hacky code

but yeah, it works

for whatever reason i have some parts of the script availible from _G, and some isn't

i can read and write last_sleep into sleeping script, but can't read last_drink from drink script

totally random

[river fjord]

No that is wrong. Tree models are not weird in any way, theyre the same as any other geometry. No one has replaced them for the same reason no one has replaced houses or rocks or litterally anything at all, you can't. They're part of the map geometry and you can't edit existing maps, only add new maps currently.

[obsidian void]

well, that is weird for most games but yeah straight booty wtf

[river fjord]

this is not like most games, this is an old proprietary engine from the early 2000s

[obsidian void]

I wanna change my voicelines for jamming in english, whats mod in game mod area called?

[obsidian void]

WPO in mcm has jam language

[zenith needle]

what

[static nebula]

weapon parts overhaul in mod customization menu has an option for jam language

[regal bolt]

Which mod is the npc conversation zoom in? 42 - camera reanimation inertia?

[static nebula]

isn't that a part of the base game? or am i remembering wrong

got a simple and stupid one if anyone feels like helping a dumbass; did this once before and cant figure out why its not working now, just trying to make the boar fit in the pistol/melee slots

[torpid pivot]

what file are you editing?

[rancid moth]

a fresh .ltx loaded in gamedata > config > items > weapons and installed at the end of the load order

[torpid pivot]

Best way to do this is with a DLTX edit which overwrites ltx files instead of having to change the correct one

DLTX loads the last one aphabetically

name your file

mod_system_yourfilename.ltx

if you want to make sure nothing overwrites your change naming it something like mod_system_zzz_yourfilename.ltx can be a good idea

[rancid moth]

I can't deny this is probably a step in the right direction, though it doesn't seem to be editting the weapon, perhaps its something else I am missing

[torpid pivot]

you're loading it in MO right?

[rancid moth]

yea

[torpid pivot]

try moving it to configs

[static nebula]

Honestly no idea if this is going to work or not, but try just putting it under gamedata>configs

same idea lol

[rancid moth]

will do

that did it ❤️

now I can blast em with my pocket rocket

[brave tartan]

anyone knows why when I open dds files in photoshop I have black background?

[brave tartan]

it also saves new edited dds with black background

[spark oriole]

maybe the file itself is corrupted? try opening with something else, idk gimp

but might just be some transparency setting in PS, I dont use it

[brave tartan]

nah other programs works fine I tried using paint.net as Grok suggested somewhere here it does nto have black background. but I do not see A8BR8 save option in paint.net

[spark oriole]

weird, dunno sorry

my experience with dds files is limited to saving a boykissers pic in gimp to use in battletech

[brave tartan]

I mean Grok said it is right after BC7 but that person did not had it either 😄

[ruby fiber]

is there a way to blacklist an weapon from spawning? i know there are some weapons in gamma that don’t spawn so i assume grok is doing it somehow

[fair inlet]

grok just manually removed them from loadouts and stash pools

[slow solar]

I can't find the lua_help.scipt file, I'm looking for the DIK_keys table

Has anyone made a no starting gear mod?

If not, which files should I be looking at to modify?

[red tree]

join anomaly, i just joined over there the other day and the modding community is huge there

oops lol

[ionic zenith]

Damn

https://discord.gg/anomalymod

[wild swallow]

please do not advertise discord servers. thanks

[ionic zenith]

If they are so huge
Why are they not helping people with their mod problems then?

Pricks sending them to us, as if we're mod troubleshooting experts

[wild swallow]

anomaly devs thinks if you change 1 line in user.ltx ur anomaly becomes gamma

[random fulcrum]

it's understandable when people just ask in the vanilla game's discord mainly about a modpack's issues

ever since it got big

it's like if this server was filled with questions about efp

or about wardogs

[river fjord]

most of the people here just purposely try to spread misinformation, dont even bother

[steady minnow]

Curious if there’s an easy way to make the tier 3 nvg green instead of the blueish color? Or should I just use tier 2 and give them quad tube overlay?

[steady minnow]

@void lily I'll take it here because it's not too relevant to newbie chat, but you want to go to your GAMMA mods folder, and find GAMMA Exo Balance. In there you can find the exo_devices.ltx and I would copy that (following all file paths in folders) to a new folder, and edit it to adjust the battery drain for the exosuits you want to buff

There's also an outfit_speed.ltx if you want to make the exoskeletons faster

[void lily]

Thanks man, I'll get right on it.
Hope I don't destroy my install in the process

[steady minnow]

There are tutorials somewhere for making your own mods. I would check that out first. and don't edit anything in a folder, always copy it and mess with it somewhere else

[void lily]

Makes sense, thanks

[tacit wind]

Can anyone tell me how to revert the starting knife to the old one?

[regal bolt]

Anyone here have CRCR mod?

[spiral heron]

How much extra work would be required if I wanted to make an extra mob, But have only 1 spawn in follow the player but dont attack the player and not aggro NPCs into shooting it? And Another Question: I have experience making and installing meshes and textures in Kenshi. what should i expect, or what is different if i wanted to do the same for this game, but only for personal use?

[misty mulch]

cough see also the official Anomaly discord which also has a modding section #╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

[spiral heron]

whats this chat for?

im not looking for a long winded tutorial, just someones generalized opinion.

[random fulcrum]

sounds convoluted

also ask in the anomaly discord

they have more experienced modders there

not to mention actual programmers

[dense sigil]

Greetings! Can someone suggest which config or mod allows you to replace the barrel of a weapon without a workbench?

[obsidian void]

Pretty sure that would require a change to the WPO scripts. That being said, if you have even some basic tools and the appropriate weapon toolkit, you can right click the basic tools and "open workbench" and that will allow you to replace a barrel. There's also a mod on moddb that allows you to use you backpack to open a workbench as well, might search for that. Of course you still need the proper toolkit

[dense sigil]

Thank you for the advice, but still this is not what is required... Yes, this is a direct WPA add-on, but as far as I could run through the components of the mod with an inexperienced eye, I didn't find anything similar there. But I definitely came across a similar setup on third-party builds...

[obsidian void]

All the field stripping functions are defined in zzz_arti_jamming_repairs.script. there are likely multiple functions which needs to be changed

[obsidian void]

Idk if this would work, at all. But you could try to combine these 2 mods:

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/no-toolkit-for-parts-replacement

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/edens-backpack-workshop-metro-exodus-style-backpacks-version-10

If they work you could just open the workshop from your backpack and the removal of the toolkit requirement would basically make barrels field replaceable without tools. Of course, this will completely undermine gamma's progression system.

@misty mulch make "Hideout furniture Expansion 1.0" Furnitures Craftable

or if i can

[misty mulch]

i mean i won't but i'll tell you how

[neon ivy]

how

is it complicated ?

[misty mulch]

not really, some text editing

but first here's your handbook https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/addons/dltx.html#4-syntax

i can show you how i did it for gun racks

[neon ivy]

hmm. Do i need a specific program ? like Wordpad+ ?

or is notepad enough ?

[misty mulch]

notepad will work but Notepad++ is my preferred

[neon ivy]

well if notepad is enough then i'll try normal notepad

for now at least

[misty mulch]

so first - file structure. you'll have to package up your mod in a file structure that looks like this - the red circled file is the file that contains the edits for the crafting recipe

you'll want to name your own edit in a similar convention: mod_craft_namegoeshere.ltx

[neon ivy]

is this on GAMMA folder ? or Anomaly folder

[misty mulch]

(why? because the files need to be in the right place for the game to load them, and gamedata/configs/items/settings is apparently where all the crafting recipes live)

[misty mulch]

the folder where your mod will live

[neon ivy]

ok found it from MO2

[misty mulch]

you probably want to make a new working folder somewhere - when we're done, then you can zip it up and install it in MO2 as a new mod

and edit that

[neon ivy]

mine only has trade

[misty mulch]

or ig you just make a new folder in GAMMA/mods/[name your WIP mod something here]/gamedata/configs/items/settings/mod_craft_blahblahblah.ltx

[neon ivy]

soo i just create a file in mods ?

[misty mulch]

for now sure

[neon ivy]

Done. Now what

[misty mulch]

make that file in that exact folder structure

[neon ivy]

also my file doesn't have mod_craft.ltx

[misty mulch]

you're going to make that file

[neon ivy]

i see.

[misty mulch]

it's just a text file with a different file extension

the ONLY file in your furniture extension fix shouldbe this mod_craft_whateveryoucallit.ltx file you're about to make, in the folder structure discussed above

[neon ivy]

ok so i made Furniture expansion fix / Gamedata / Configs / Items / Settings

how do i make the ltx file ?

just create a new notepad ?

[misty mulch]

yeah

and then just rename it

[misty mulch]

no capital letters

[neon ivy]

oh my bad

[misty mulch]

(i think it's case insensitive but it's good practice to keep it consistent)

[neon ivy]

i created it but its a txt file

oh wait im dumb

[misty mulch]

just change the file extension from txt to ltx

and here's more or less your contents:

![8]
ITEM_ID_CODE = [output number], [recipe needed to craft it], [component_1], [component_1 number needed], [component 2], [component 2 number]

the ![8] tells it "inject the following lines into the section for crafting Hideout Furnitures"
you will copy-paste the line afterwards, one for each item you want to be able to craft
