[neon ivy]

can i use online converter to change it ? cuz my caveman brain doesn't know how to convert it

[misty mulch]

get the item ID code from the Furniture Expansion mod

[misty mulch]

dude no

you see the .txt part? literally change it so it says .ltx

[neon ivy]

wait its that easy ?

[misty mulch]

YES

[neon ivy]

wow i'm dumb

anyways

i opened the notepad

now do i just find the item id's and do this command ?

[misty mulch]

• get item IDs from the furniture expansion mod, idk what they will be
• output number should probably be 1
• recipes: if you want it to be instantly craftable without buying any crafting recipes, this should be recipe_basic_0
• i will throw you a bone and tell you the proper item IDs for the crafting components, since you'll need to unpack Anomaly files to actually access it

[neon ivy]

and where can i get the item ID's ? from here ?

[misty mulch]

that would be one option yes

[neon ivy]

there is also the mod_system_props.ltx file

outside the items folder

at configs

[misty mulch]

for example, my line for craftable gun racks is:

x_weapon_rack_item            = 1, recipe_basic_0, prt_i_scrap,10, prt_i_wood,12

• weapon_rack_item is the name of the weapon rack, we have to add x_ at the start because of a Dumb Crafting Bug Workaround - don't worry about it, just do it
• 1 = this recipe makes 1 of the thing
• recipe_basic_0 = "doesn't need a crafting recipe"
• prt_i_scrap,10 = "uses 10 metallic scrap"
• prt_i_wood,12 = "uses 12 wooden parts"

[neon ivy]

hmm

[misty mulch]

so that is the actual file that contains the information about all these different items. but if you only care about the name of the props, you can get it from multiple sources

it's better to use that mod_system_props.ltx file since it will list ALL the added items. the issue with using the trade configs is that you will obviously only see the items that have been added to those traders' inventories

[neon ivy]

oops wait

it has many commands

[misty mulch]

the only part you care about is the part between the square brackets. that's the name.

however do not add any of the placeable_whatever items, those are IIRC dummy items only used for the placement system

[neon ivy]

ok so for example.
if i wanted to add a bed do i just do ;

! [supplies_1]
prop_bed_1 = 1, recipe_basic 1, prt_iscrap,10, prt_i_wood, 12

[misty mulch]

no, you keep ![8], you can't change that
remember to add x_ in front of the item name
and you have missed a bunch of _ which is not good - the names must be EXACT, or it will error out

so you'd do

![8]
x_prop_bed_1 = 1, recipe_basic_0, prt_i_scrap, 10, prt_i_wood, 12

and that would let you craft the bed with no crafting recipe using basic tools, using 10 metallic scrap and 12 wooden parts

[neon ivy]

hm

like this ?

[misty mulch]

yes good

i mean i presume you don't actually want the recipe to be 10 metal scrap and 12 wood

[neon ivy]

yeah for a bed thats a bit much

[misty mulch]

but you'd basically copy-paste this line, one per new item, and modify it to fit the right item ID and part IDs

[neon ivy]

alright

[misty mulch]

if you want to read the actual "documentation" find and read craft.ltx, use the right pane searcher to find files in your modpack

[neon ivy]

oh i see why ![8] is required.

its for placeables correct ?

cuz it also has blue box / metal torch etc.

[obsidian void]

That is an override to add the items to the crafting table. You just need to add your recipes after it.

[neon ivy]

so after piano i just add the codes i've made ?

[obsidian void]

Should work as long as your formatting is correct

[misty mulch]

Yeah. But you should be able to do this in your own mod_craft file instead of changing the version that comes with hideout furnitures

This way is cleaner, if there's an error in your code it's easier to disable only your additions

[neon ivy]

fair enough

also did i do it right ?

i dunno what was fabrics_4

[misty mulch]

Btw prt_o_fabrics_4 is mil spec textiles

[neon ivy]

fabrics 3 ?

[misty mulch]

Fabrics 1 is cloth sheets, 2 is synth cloth, 3 is durable textile, 4 is milspec

[neon ivy]

ok lemme do it fabrics 3 then

also i think i have to select the ones that are "placable" cuz there is also "Prop_" versions

or do i add both

[misty mulch]

no the prop versions are what you want, placeable = the dummy items for placement visualization'

[neon ivy]

Ah. i thought it was the other way around.

[misty mulch]

i'd have to download the mod myself to check

short ver: if it's sold by the trader that's the one you want

[neon ivy]

in that case prop it is

also can i use only 1 item to craft smth ? or is it like minimum 2 items

for example can i craft a chair by only using Wood

[misty mulch]

you can have from 1 - 3 components

[neon ivy]

ok in that case i can do something like this ?

[misty mulch]

you can also have multiple recipes for crafting the same thing, but you change the x_ to y_ for the second recipe etc

[misty mulch]

remove the last comma

[neon ivy]

yea i've read that part

1 recipe is enough for me tho

[misty mulch]

but aside from the last comma, yeah, that looks fine

[neon ivy]

ok gonna do the same for table too then

[misty mulch]

also if you want a thing to be crafted with no recipe, but requiring e.g. advanced tools, you'd do recipe_advanced_0

[neon ivy]

just that ?

with no prt_i item ?

[misty mulch]

instead of recipe_basic_0

also, balancing note, wooden parts are a pain in the ass to get, here is a FULL list of everything that gives wooden parts:

• guitar, 4x parts
• firewood, 2x parts
• shovel, 2x wooden parts
• hammer, 1x wooden parts

[neon ivy]

axe doesn't give wood ?

oh wait from firewood

in that case, can you farm trees for firewood ?

[obsidian void]

I think you can, with an axe

[neon ivy]

cuz rn i live on pripyat and can i farm few trees for firewood

[misty mulch]

takes a lotta time and spikes your tiredness

[neon ivy]

oh

[misty mulch]

i mean you can buy firewood, just like you can buy hammers

[neon ivy]

true.

[misty mulch]

but for balance reasons you might want to do a mix of metal scrap and wooden parts, since metal scrap is super easy to get

[neon ivy]

fair enough.

[misty mulch]

e.g. every gun disassembly gives one

[obsidian void]

Or fasteners

[neon ivy]

ye ik

i have 54 fasteners

and 40 cutleries

like this ?

[obsidian void]

You don't need the extra ![8]

Just one and then put all your recipes lines after

[neon ivy]

i've put ![8] on all of em ok thanks

does it need space between them ?

[obsidian void]

That will work

[neon ivy]

like this ?

[obsidian void]

Sorry I replied to fast. Either way is fine

[neon ivy]

ok

[obsidian void]

The "!" Is used by dltx to indicate a section override. Basically it's telling the game in the section [8] of that file, add/change these lines. You can also use this to change existing lines under the section, for example if you did x_device_metal_torch you could change the existing recipe for that item without overwriting the original ltx file, if that makes sense.

[neon ivy]

hmm

so for example if i change the recipe for metal torch under ![8]
it just changes the materials ? (or material count)

[obsidian void]

Basically yeah you could change any of the parameters within that recipe

[neon ivy]

i see.

[misty mulch]

and now you see why i really wanted you to make a separate file instead of directly modifying existing ones lol

it lets you roll back in case you fuck up

[neon ivy]

yeah i noticed.

if it fucks with my save or my game

i can just disable it

or even remove it

[obsidian void]

You can also remove lines by adding the ! In front. So if you said "!x_device_metal_torch" it would make the game think that recipe doesn't exist at all.

[neon ivy]

oh

[misty mulch]

yeah all the syntax stuff is in here https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/addons/dltx.html#4-syntax

deletion, creation, override, etc

[neon ivy]

damn modding is tough

[obsidian void]

Dltx is pretty easy once you get used to it

Scripting gets much harder

[neon ivy]

that's the thing

writing and coding is fine

but scripting

is smth else

i still can't fathom

[obsidian void]

I could be wrong but I don't think gamma currently has this newer version of dltx, no? I tried using the < and > operators recently but they didn't seem to work. Maybe with more recently updated exe's.

[misty mulch]

gamma should be on the Sept 2023 version of the demonized exes

[neon ivy]

these ones do not have "_" should i still write it like "prop_stove_2" ?

[obsidian void]

Hmm okay

[obsidian void]

No copy it exactly

[neon ivy]

ok

[misty mulch]

if they don't have the _ do not add it, the names must match exactly

[hexed coyote]

@misty mulch Would it be possible to fix the Berrett .50 bug with a mod? Its currently using the 12.7x55 round instead of the 12.7x99 which is IN the game but not being used.

[misty mulch]

idk if you wanted to you could make that mod

the barrett doesn't even spawn in gamma normally tho

[hexed coyote]

True

[misty mulch]

you'd also have to mod in the ammo to the right traders etc.

and the crafting recipes for the ammo + breakdown results (two different files)

• icon lmao

[hexed coyote]

Thanks!

[misty mulch]

so that's why this modpack avoids guns that use unique bullet types

[obsidian void]

Oh I think I might have misunderstood how those newer symbols work so that's my bad

[neon ivy]

@misty mulch ok so i did every item that was in the furniture mod

now what do i do ?

there is ![8] on top

[misty mulch]

cool - save it

[neon ivy]

done

[misty mulch]

and then close and reopen MO2

you should see your new mod at the very bottom of the modlist, named after whatever you called the folder

[neon ivy]

there

[misty mulch]

enable it, load up a game, open a workbench, see if you can see the crafting recipes you added

or if it crashes you out lmao

[neon ivy]

we'll see

i'm loaded in. The moment of truth...

YAY IT WORKED

tysm

going to vendors from pripyat was a pain in the ass :

oops

[obsidian void]

E-bowl

[red tree]

What is this sorcery ceramic bowl from metal, electronics and copper wire

[obsidian void]

It's got Bluetooth

[neon ivy]

i thought prop_dish1 was dishwasher for some reason

all i have to do is just reopen mo2 to edit the file right ?

[obsidian void]

Yeah just open your ltx and change that line

[neon ivy]

then reopen mo2

[obsidian void]

Doesn't matter as long as the file is edited and saved in the right place, and you launch gamma it will work. You can do that through mo2 or if you made a shortcut you can just relaunch the game from that.

[neon ivy]

the plates are gone

[obsidian void]

Lol, what did you change?

[neon ivy]

i also do not have mug

[obsidian void]

Hmm... These are all in your one dltx file right?

[neon ivy]

yep

here is the entire file (it also has ![8] on top)

[obsidian void]

Well bong and mug have commas after the name

[neon ivy]

i just noticed

but idk what is wrong with dishes

[obsidian void]

It's probably breaking the file read following those lines

Fix those first and see what happens

[neon ivy]

i'll do it later. i gtg

but thx

[fair inlet]

should be at least two different ingredients

or whatever it's called

[narrow coyote]

hm, what is that mod with black cicrle zones icon? in vanila anomaly they are white https://youtu.be/eCDQMjNa0HI

[icy heath]

If I would like to change how anti biotics are working, in which script would I begin ?

[misty mulch]

it's the comma after the name, the typo is breaking those lines almost certainly

[misty mulch]

congratulations on your first mod btw

[neon ivy]

couldn't have done it without u

[misty mulch]

Also oleh is right I think, recipes might need 2 components min? If the comma fix doesn't restore the dishes, try giving it a second component

[tulip magnet]

Trying a small test to add in a 9mm Thompson "M1A2" based off of the Tommy mod.
I've got it set up and working mostly but for some reason it doesn't have any internal components despite the fact I have it listed though the M1A1 and M1921 work just fine.

Does anyone know what I need to do to set it up with internals?

[sick canyon]

hey, tried playing adding an animation and it just repeats.

also added the game.stop_hud_motion to make it stop after and the animation wouldn't play at all.

made sure that "Stop at End" boxes are checked in blender and in omf editor.

how to fix?

[static nebula]

ever found anything? i thought about making my tier 1 or 2s an amber color

[random fulcrum]

shader config files

look inside the mod's folder

[dusky moon]

Hello brothers, I have been trying to disable the sound_distant_idle SFX for several mutants including the zombie, snork (who both share the same SFX) and the cat. They loop over and over every 3-8 seconds, and I have no idea how anyone doesn't lose their goddamn minds listening to it constantly. This is for the mod included in the base GAMMA installation, Soundscape Overhaul by Solarint.

Things I have tried so far include:

• Reducing Environment Sound Volume to 0 in-game.

• Using the S.T.A.L.K.E.R Sound Attribute Viewer/Tweaker 1.1 to change the attributes of the .ogg files located in \gamedata\sounds\ambient\soundscape\mutants, including reducing the Base Sound Volume to 0 and increasing the Minimum Distance for the SFX to trigger.

• Changing the values of the .ltx config files for each mutant by increasing distant_idle_sound_delay = 50000 > 5000000.

• Replacing the .ogg files located in \gamedata\sounds\ambient\soundscape\mutants with silent .ogg files that share the same attributes as the originals.

If anyone could please give me literally any advice, I would greatly appreciate it. If it is not possible to mute them altogether, I'd at least like to reduce the frequency in which they are played.

[random fulcrum]

bro you made the changes on a mod that gets replaced

[near quail]

https://youtu.be/c1B6COfOFTo?si=9Infq2Mq62dEDAKc
Can someone make this as a mod for gamma 🙏🏽🤩

[obsidian void]

So, red orchestra style free aim?

[near quail]

I will donate good money 🙏🏽

[random fulcrum]

https://tenor.com/view/rdr-rdr2-dutch-van-der-linde-arthur-morgan-gif-24524787

[obsidian void]

yeah unfortunately I am 99.999% certain that's outside of my capabilities. I don't care for free aim personally but for your sake I hope someone can make it happen. For all I know that may involve some engine level editing. Maybe not. Demonized could probably tackle something like that

[fossil birch]

That style of aiming didn't work for Jurassic Park Trespasser which is a relatively slow paced game, it certainly won't for STALKER which is a lot faster paced

[obsidian void]

to be fair trespasser was famously a dumpsterfire that had ideas way ahead of the technology. But I agree free aim is pretty terrible in every game I've ever played that had it.

[static nebula]

oh you're right, i looked before but i missed it because i assumed it would have been an .LTX instead of uh... whatever ".h" is

thank you

[obsidian void]

Does anyone know if there's a mod to stop NPCs from looting your kills? Fucking bullshit that they steal my shit mid combat

[jade marten]

isnt that on by default?

[rigid sail]

Anyone have experience with editing .omf files? I'm trying to get the Xray addon working for Blender so I can inspect the animations of reloads, then use OMF editor to have the reload finish once the magazine is inserted. However, after installing the addon and configuring it correctly (I think), the import .omf option just gives me an error (active object is not armature).

I'd really rather not eyeball these timings just using the ingame reload and a stopwatch.

Ok, progress, needed to load an .ogf first, however a default stalker has the wrong bones. Suspect I need the hud hands .ogf file, now to find it...

[river fjord]

you need to load a set of arms and the weapon/item

you can also just make the reload update the ammo count by adding a motion mark at mag-in inside the omf file, you dont need to cut off the anims at the mag-in

most quality reanimations already do this

[rigid sail]

I was working with the G36, as the reload seems to happen much later than the animation finishes.

I've figured out how to add a motion mark in OMF editor, is there a way to figure out when the mag-in is in that, or do I need something like Blender to inspect it?

[river fjord]

yeah you could open up in blender and look at the frame range if youre not sure when it is

just import the gun from the mod and import its omf, you dont even need to import and arms

[rigid sail]

Yeah, still getting an armature warning. I'm importing wpn_g36k_hud.ogf, then trying to import wpn_hand_g36l.omf, both from the same mod.

More progress, there's two different G36 animations, let me try to track down the G36K animations.

[river fjord]

the hand animations are not for the gun. in stalker weapon and hand animations are different, of course importing the hands onto the gun is going to give you an error

[rigid sail]

Alright, almost there. I've got the G36K loaded, I've loaded the correct .omf, I can select the reload animation under motions on the right side bar, but I can't seem to get them to play. Forgive me, I'm a complete Blender novice, so I'm probably missing something obvious.

Aha, got it. Right, now to figure out the OMF editor's motion marks.

[rigid sail]

I've got motion marks set up as per your previous message (#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message), but no change to the ingame reload. I'm assuming I'm missing something, like a naming convention, or a lxt setting or something.

[river fjord]

nope, only the mark needed, make sure you give it a range of like 5-8 frames

[rigid sail]

Had it set to 3, let's try 8.

Should it start on mag in, finish on mag-in, or bracket it?

[river fjord]

the range is mainly because the anims are baked to 30fps but then interpolated up to whatever your actual framerate is but people with low or inconsistent frame rates could skip that mark if its only a single or couple frames

[river fjord]

i have no idea what thats suppose to mean

[rigid sail]

The motion mark has a start and an end number, I've detemined that the reload should be valid from keyframe 69, should it start at 69, end at 69, or start and end before and after 69?

[river fjord]

if its 69, personally id do 66start 73end

[rigid sail]

Ok, will try that now.

[river fjord]

make sure youre adding to the hand omf not the weapon one you imported to blender

[rigid sail]

Ah, that would be the problem then.

Many thanks, by the way. I would never had made it this far with the resources I could find.

[river fjord]

np, glgl

[rigid sail]

Ugh, the hand animation file has a different naming scheme for the reloads than the hud weapons one. Trial and error time.

[river fjord]

if the names are really bad and you cant figure it out based off the omf you can look in the config for that gun, inside the hud section there will be anm_reload = something
something being the animation youre looking for

[rigid sail]

Confounding. I've confirmed that the G36K uses the G36_new_reload from within the wpn_hand_g36l.omf. I've added motion marks as you wrote out. I've saved it as that default name (With a backup of the original). I've loaded into the game, and still not dice. Reload only counts several frames after the reload animation completes.

Let me double check I'm not being an idiot and there's another mod after G36 patch that overwrites that file...

[rigid sail]

Alright, calling it there for the night. I've found your SVU omf files, and comparing them to the ones I made for the G36K shows they should work AFAIK. Only difference (Other than the exact timing) is the power/accrue/falloff settings, which I assume are unrelated to what I'm doing.

[river fjord]

those are unrelated. theyre just for determining how smoothly different animations blend between each other

[slow bolt]

free aim is aids

I can say that with autority as Arma 3 player

[atomic latch]

Ah yes, QWOP aim mod

[obsidian void]

Nevermind my dumbass installed a mod that makes NPCs loot corpses more aggressively

[sweet bolt]

is there context for this video because ive been laughing at it for the past 10 mins

[rigid sail]

I must be missing something. I've tried to alter .omfs of the 9A91 reanimation mod, since that loads late and has nothing that overwrites those files, and that still doesn't fix the reload timing.

I'm beginning to wonder if it's some kind of bug on my end. Barry mentioned that most reanimation mods have this already implemented, but some of these are so delayed there's no way no-one noticed this. Only, the SVU works as advertised. I'm lost.

[slow bolt]

what animation timing? Looked up in search

[river fjord]

i said most quality reanimations have this already, half the shit this modpack has enabled certainly wouldnt

[rigid sail]

Well, that at least lowers the chances it's just on my end.

[blissful lake]

Does someone have a custom grok_bo_ammo_icons.dds from the G.A.M.M.A. Icons Cr3pis Ammo mod but without the ammo names over it? I'm using the function from the ui improvements that looks way clearer

tbh I think this should have gone on the to-do list. no reason to use the letters embed on the image file right?

[unkempt pine]

Calling all modders! Does anyone have the ambition to work on a new mod regarding the music in the game? Ive often found myself running through this wasteland wanting some good tunes to listen to, or even when at traders with radios (ie Clear Sky) have found myself not wanting to hear the music that is blasting through the radio as it isnt my style. You know what is my style though? The Fallout New Vegas soundtrack. It just fits the environment so well, and I think it belongs in this game with the help of some data tweakers. Anyone here have any reason to want to change the soundtrack of this game to be that of NV?

[slow bolt]

there are no reasons, yes

[unkempt pine]

Hope i can see the day where im walking into clear sky base and all i hear is, "JINGLE JANGLEEEE"

[static nebula]

[rigid sail]

Success! I've fixed the reload timing on the MP5A3. Now to figure out why it didn't work with the other weapons I've tried it with. And with the MP5SD I spawned in.

[rigid sail]

And back to being purplexed. Alter the mp5hands.omf from Gunslinger, that fixes the MP5A3 but not the MP5SD variants. Alter the mp5tacohands.omf from the same mod, and that doesn't fix the MP5SD.

[devout fjord]

How does one change or add recipes, because when I do it through the actual gamma craft ltx it only actually adds the recipe if I just edit the amount of items something requires like moving down the amount of metal but if I add a different item or just remove one it deletes the recipe completely

[steady venture]

is the psi storm siren sound part of anomaly, or is it from one of the added mods?

[obsidian void]

I agree with this. There are also little sub icons on consumables and stuff that can be replaced with the Dynamic Icon Indicators mod. Would be a good project for someone to start tackling, just need to remove the names and sub-icons from stuff that can be replaced with icon layers. DII also contains a framework for custom icon layers so that mod could be used going forward to make this kind of thing a lot easier.

I did this with the repair tools and added dynamic colored text instead of the ">#" text that was imbedded into the icons, looks way better imo and can change depending on the min_repair_value in the item ltx.

You can see what I mean here: #1116727876830646334 message

[dusky moon]

There's a mod that replaces this one?? Which one is it??

[obsidian void]

Hey can anyone tell me what mod is responsible for that heartbeat sound during combat? I find it pretty annoying and it messes with the environment sound

[dusky moon]

Horror Overhaul by DesmanMetzger

[obsidian void]

Do you think if I just deleted the sound file that would do it or should I do something with the scripts?

[obsidian void]

GAMMA soundscape overhaul and dark signal mutants audio overwrites many of the files. You can see conflicts by looking at the lightning bolt icon. If you double click a mod it will show you a list of what it's overwriting and what is overwritten.

Best thing to do is create your own mod that sits on top of the stack and overwrite the sound. It's messy but, at least you know it will work.

[rigid sail]

Fixed it. It was a naming convention screw up. I should have expected. Why the hell did Gunslinger decide to drop the MP5 prefix from sdgun.omf? And why does the gun's config only tell you the name of the animation from within an omf file, not the name of the omf file itself.?!

Well, that at least tells me how to go about fixing the other guns I couldn't get fixed. Found what's overwriting the G36 files without being considered a conflict by MO2. So, onwards.

[obsidian void]

there are unfortunately many disconnects in naming conventions due to the many different mods. Found that out the hard way too

[rigid sail]

The annoying part for me is that this wasn't a disconnect between mods, this was a disconnect within a mod. We have mp5hands.omf, mp5tacohands.omf, and sdgun.omf.

[obsidian void]

lol yep

[rigid sail]

It would be fine if the config included the file name of the omf in question, but no dice.

At least yelling into the ether and making progress is therapeutic.

[slow bolt]

The model file includes an omf file name and path

and the mesh is listed in the ltx

so one leads to the other

[dusky moon]

Thank you. Part of the reason I've not been able to enjoy the game is because of these looping sound files, I was able to "mute" them in both Soundscape Overhaul and Dark Signal Weather and Ambience Audio using the S.T.A.L.K.E.R Sound Attribute Viewer; and I've not had any issues since. I sincerely appreciate you giving me an actually helpful and constructive response.

[dusky moon]

You should be able to locate the .ogg that the mod uses in its folder inside your GAMMA installation. This is the program I was referring to in my previous response: https://www.metacognix.com/files/stlkrsoc/SAVandT_1.0_110817.7z

Once selected, you can reduce the sound file to zero, this was how I solved my issue without removing/overwriting mods.

Once you hit apply, it will effectively be "muted" ingame. I've not had any issues, and I can't imagine it'd affect anything because the mod is still technically playing the sound as it should, just at zero volume.

Happy hunting @obsidian void!

[obsidian void]

Dope thanks

[rigid sail]

Not in my experience. Take the G36 from the G36 pack (Which I now know is mostly overwritten). All reloads are prefixed G36_new_reload, but the actual .omf file those reloads are in is called wpn_hand_g36l.omf. Unless it's referenced in another part of the .ltx file I haven't located yet.

If I'm lucky, the mod author actually named the omf file after the animations it contains. Or at least used the same prefix. But often not. Still trying to find the file that contains lucky_reload.

[rigid sail]

Is there an easy way to check which weapons can actually spawn in GAMMA? The debug menu contains several I know don't actually spawn, I'd rather not waste my time updating the reload timings of those that can't.

[obsidian void]

yes. GAMMA\mods contains a text file called "good_weapons" which is a list of the guns used in gamma

[rigid sail]

Fantastic, just what I was looking for. Thanks.

[obsidian void]

x_lead_box = 1, recipe_basic_2, prt_i_scrap,5,prt_i_fasteners,4,ball_hammer,1

Can someone explain what the first number "1" does in this line? Everything else is explained in craft.ltx except for this number.

[slow bolt]

Find and open the mesh file for that G36, then look into omf file attachment tab. That will answer all of your questions

Hello fellow Stalker fans and modders. Got a question that's been bugging me and I haven't been able to answer as of yet.

Stalker by default is a First Person game. From what I've seen it establishes the same first-person mode shenanigans, where you're a camera attached to two visually modelled arms and a weapon. In most cases you don't have a body.

This can be seen, in Stalker's sense, when using the freecam mode, i.e demo_record 1 and you get to break the illusion.

What bugs me is that, there is an option in Anomaly/Gamma for third person which displays a full model, with a full set of animations.

Ingame you also see your shadow with those animations and your character reaction to the world.

My question is this:

Are you a formless model with a first person camera and two arms or do you have a full blown model ingame, seen and interacted with by the world and other NPCs? Why does the freecam mode show the aforementioned 'camera model' and not the full body model that you can see when you go third person mode?

[random fulcrum]

why would you need to render the 3rd person model in a 1st person game for starters

and it would get in the way of the camera

Funny story... I was trying to make my own version of this (different from yours of course) and we opened a whole new can of worms with modding gamma's crafting recipes Why do I do this to myself

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1164394028310212758

LMAO

how did you manage that

i was gonna make a post with the file i've made but i forgot lmao

[neon ivy]

not to mention i was shitting myself cuz i kept getting blue screen

[obsidian void]

GAMMA has a script which interfere's with things being changed through DLTX apparently, even though gamma also includes mods which modify the craft tables with dltx (and they work)

[neon ivy]

huh

[obsidian void]

it's a whole thing. now we need to figure out how to write a script to call on workshop.autoinject.script to do it for us.

[neon ivy]

hopefully

[obsidian void]

We figured it out. Not allowed to make recipes with no toolkit requirement apparently

Can anyone who speaks Russian here make sure this sentence makes sense? Его можно сделать без инструментов, перетащив в рюкзак. It's supposed to say "This can be crafted without tools via drag-and-drop in your backpack."

[slow bolt]

What is the object

[obsidian void]

A bedroll and sleeping bag

it's to craft the simple bedroll in the furniture expansion

[slow bolt]

"Его можно сделать без инструментов с помощью перетаскивания с инвентаре."
I assume by backpack you mean inventory. So replace backpack with inventory so it would make sense

Hey, sorry for the double ping, but you never got back to me on this. What program should I be using to open the mesh .ogf file? The OGF editor linked in the modding book just shows me the hud .omf, I need the hands .omf to implement the reload timing fix.

[river fjord]

I told you like 3 days ago how to get the hand omf. Look in the configs. The first line in the hands animation, just look through the few omfs included in whatever mod your trying to look at to find the right one. The hand omfs are not defined in any of the models. They're dynamically loaded from that one folder. I already explained this

[rigid sail]

Unfortunately, that only holds true if the modder used a consistent naming convention, and if he's not using a reload animation from a different weapon. As with here: #╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

I ended up tracking lucky_reload down to the reload from the SG550, (which was being reused for the G36 RWAPs) by just searching for Lucky in the entire mods folder. That's why I was interested in hearing there's a way to open the ogf file and pull the file name and path out that way, less work. Sorry if I got the wrong impression of that from his previous message.

[rigid sail]

I need a sanity check here. This method I'm using seems to work for some, but not all, weapons. I've done the exact same things, and I've gotten the TT-33, MP5 (all variants) and Skorpion working. However, it doesn't work for the 9A-91 and PPSH-41. The Skorpion and PPSH-41 are even from the same mod with the same file structure. Which leaves me with two options:

1. GAMMA is altering/overwriting these files in a way that doesn't show up in MO2 as a file conflict.

2. There's something about these specific .omfs that means this method doesn't work with them in particular.

If anyone has any insight, or wants to help by trying this method on those weapons on their end, double check this isn't a user specific problem, I'd be greatful.

Hello 👋 I'm completely new to modding stalker and have been trying to load the anomaly maps in blender using this addon https://github.com/PavelBlend/blender-xray, however when I try to import the marshes, blender crashes, I think it might have something to do with the addon not being able to find the object folder from the unpacked files. Has anyone dealt with this before or knows where the objects would be located?

blender crash log

[median thicket]

im looking for a mod that allows me to skin without a specific knife

also for more uptodate task mods

my wtf pack crashes

[static nebula]

i bet its just stored in the ltx file for each knife whether or not it's capable of skinning, so making your own would be as simple as changing a "false" to a "true" or whatever for the knives that can't skin mutants

[rigid sail]

Found the issue for the PPSH and 9A-91 animations. The PPSH has a scaled up speed in the .ltx file, the 9A91 is just completely misaligned in terms of frames for no clear reason. Had to dial both in by setting it crazy low and adjusting up slowly by eye. Not ideal, but at least I don't have any mods that just straight up don't work anymore.

[lilac compass]

Does anyone have any idea why this would be happening in the ammo maker?

[flat steeple]

@lilac compass you're most likely using a mod that overwrites recipes and reverted them to vanilla

[lilac compass]

Any idea how to tell which one? Is there a file I can look up?

[flat steeple]

Ehm don't remember the name of the file
Craft.ltx maybe

[lilac compass]

Looked it up in mo2 the file winning the conflict is G.A.M.M.A. Artefacts Reinvention appears to be normal

[flat steeple]

Idk
What mods have you got that add recipes

[lilac compass]

artigrok ballistics it was working fine before and I still have gamma 0.9 so it isn't that

[flat steeple]

Not sure man send a list of mods you've added
Are you getting that with all ammos or just some?

[lilac compass]

It's only displaying the arti grok ones in vanilla recipes the other custom ammos are not even showing up like .458 socom or western wonders ammos

all ammo shows up in shops or as loot just can't craft it

OK, I've successfully patched around half the guns, and only had to throw in the towel on one of them. If anyone knows which .omf the AEK 971 is pulling from, I'd appreciate it. It doesn't appear to be the two confusingly named ones in GAMMA Large Files with it.

hey guys! is there a mod that increases the usage on items? 2 uses for sleeping pills might be balanced, but seems weird for me 🙂

Well then. Can anyone explain this?

maybe future update for pistol only 👀

[soft burrow]

Hi
In a recent modded exe version demonized added the possibility to disable weapon switching by scroll wheel with a console command. (mouse_wheel_change_weapon 0)
Does anybody know how to have that command be automatically entered when I load the game?

[haughty vigil]

you can find your user.ltx in the ANOMALY (not gamma) appdata folder and search for that setting there, seems to stick if you do that

[soft burrow]

Oh it looks like I didn't need to do anything after using the command for the first time in game.
Thanks a lot anyway!

[haughty vigil]

ayy nice

[floral nebula]

Hello. I would like to change the firing sound of a weapon to that of another existing one. What do I have to do?

[brave tartan]

hey guys, I saw theres mutant textures mod in the gamma, but it is in db0 I tried to use different versions of extractor for anomaly db's but they wont work. how can I extract that mod, want to check the textures to see if I can improve on them ofc if possible

[faint sable]

use the AXR toolset

https://github.com/revolucas/AXRToolset

helps you convert and such for db files etc

just need to make a path folder for them

[waxen widget]

Hey guys, are there only hollowpoint 357. Rounds? If yes then can i change the penetration value in the files?

Or change them somehow overall

[static nebula]

create a new folder for the mod, replicate the folder hierarchy of the original sound (ex. if the original sound was under gamedata\sounds\weapons\ak47\ak_fire.ogg or whatever, you would recreate those folders) then place whichever sound in there and rename it to be the same as the original sound

or alternatively you could modify the LTX file to make it use the sound you want

[waxen widget]

Do you by any chance know anything about changing penetration values on specific ammos?

[random fulcrum]

change k_ap in the ammo's definition

[waxen widget]

And where do i do this?

(Im not smart with this sorta stuff sorry)

[random fulcrum]

weapon_ammo.ltx

[waxen widget]

In the "gamma" folder from when i installed the game?

Found the file in the gamma folder, but i need a way to open it, how could i?

[static nebula]

it'll be... somewhere, probably overwritten by a few mods if I had to guess, so I would take whichever has a highest priority, make a copy of that and modify it

[random fulcrum]

right hand side of mo2

search weapon_ammo.ltx

double click the file

that's it

[static nebula]

.ltx files can be opened in any text editor, they're basically just .txt files

[waxen widget]

Oke, ill try, thanks guys

[jagged radish]

@vague sphinx sorry for the ping, but do you remember those old autumn loading screens you made a while back? do you still have them? I thought I had them backed up but I was wrong lol

[waxen widget]

Oke so the k_ap is 0.015 for 357., how does that translate to ingame ap?

Sorry for the ping @static nebula

[vague sphinx]

I may still have it somewhere possibly

[static nebula]

I'm not sure, I've never messed with ammo stuff personally

[waxen widget]

Do you think the number ingame will change if i change the k_ap?

I could judge based off that

[jagged radish]

I hope so, I have a zip of it but then opened it and the files were missing gimme a shout if you get round to finding them

[vague sphinx]

Done ^^

[jagged radish]

https://tenor.com/view/chris-pratt-excited-look-happy-shocked-gif-8390765

It might, worth a shot

[waxen widget]

Oke, thanks man

Ill see what 0.15 does

I feel like a tech mastermind changing these values

[random fulcrum]

1000x that ap

the number won't change in game because it's hand written and baked into the description text

0.15 would be 1.5k ap

[sonic belfry]

Why can't I extend the torch range? I've edited the range and range_r2 for both head lamp and night vision goggles in items_device.ltx, but it's still around 30 ish meters. I've tried both the torch definition and flashlight_definition

[rigid sail]

Now this is puzzling. The M249 doesn't seem to exist in the files. I can find the hud.omf file for it, but nothing else. The .ltx lays out the path to the ogf in dynamics/weapons/etc, but that file doesn't exist in MO2's data window. Anyone know where it is? It is under a different alias? I tried SAW, but no dice.

[random fulcrum]

in the vanilla game's files

duh

[rigid sail]

Ah, I did look for it there, but I was looking in the X-ray SDK files, not the anomaly ones. Never unpacked those, I'll do that now.

Yep, there it is, many thanks. Didn't expect to find vanilla reload animations in GAMMA, to be honest. I'll patch it all the same.

[rigid sail]

Has the good_weapons.txt file been updated recently? There's an F2000 reanimation mod that was recently added to GAMMA, but no F2000 on the list. Anyone know offhand which model (if any) spawns in game at the moment?

[median thicket]

anyone got a mod that increases the med uses and loadout that gamma has for regular

[ivory nebula]

Can someone make a SR with a PiP scope for gamma..

[velvet karma]

Has anyone made a mod that balances the amount of uses for meds to the amount of meds on the model of the animation/icon? Just wanna check here before I fumble through trying to do it myself.

[bold parcel]

Hello, I don't think I am in a position to talk about modding yet as I am still about 80 hours into my first playthrough, but I would like to know in case I ever get far, which (programming) languages are used to make modifications or write new logic for them? I assume tweaking values would have some sort of simpler structure file to tweak like an xml or a json, but how do you go on writing new mechanics or messing with g/ui?

Also, I am kind of pleasantly surprised about how vibrant this community looks despite the age of the game (not that it matters ofc personally), so props to you guys

[brave tartan]

it did extracted it but theres only meshes no textures extracted 😦

[surreal gust]

Where should i border my new map

Im not sure

[nimble moss]

It is possible to make a mod wher companion Npcs can relax and 'chill' around like other Stalkers aroumd campfire

[river fjord]

if youre talking about anomaly dbs just use the one that comes prepacked with anomaly in the tools folder. run the unpacker_all.bat file for textures and meshes. the one without the _all is only configs and scripts.

[brave tartan]

nope not anomaly those are working

I meant mutant hd mod

it comes in db0

I used axr toolset but it only extracted meshes with no textures

[river fjord]

afaik that mod doesnt even do anything to the textures, they just use vanilla textures
it just subdivides the models a few times with a smoothing modifier

[brave tartan]

😮

I thought its textures also as it states that in the name

but I believe there should be a mutants texture mod in gamma no ?

[river fjord]

no idea i dont play gamma
kyne's mutants are the only worthwhile ones really

[brave tartan]

yeah I think thats whats used

[rigid sail]

Just tried to use motion marks to fix the Kar98k reload, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Should be a clean fix, as only one mod is touching it (279 Kar Reanim). Is it not possible to fix weapons that reload bullet by bullet, or am I missing something?

[sick canyon]

Never had this issue before but when I move bones or limbs the rig would stretch. Even when pressing A and moving the limb, it'd would stretch and deform

[solar shard]

Dunno if this is the right place to ask but is there a way to spawn new instances of objects by using the ID given from using the "Get info" command in the debug menu? Either that or simply copy/paste an existing object? I ask because the object I'm trying to spawn doesn't seem to exist in the lists given by the debug menu's object spawner.

[regal bolt]

Is it possible to "patch" a .h file like you can with other things? Like let's say there's a .h file with a bunch of #defines, and in my mod I just want to change one value, can I do that or do I need to include the entire contents of the original file?

[lean dagger]

im currently trying to make sawn off shotguns fit into vision and melee slots, but for some reason the ks23 drozd is always registered as 1 handed. im using dltx and it successfully makes it useable in vision and melee slot but it just persists being useable with a detector, any ideas?

[opal spade]

Does anyone know where this texture comes from? Most likely vanilla Anomaly, but I need to know the name of the file.

[random fulcrum]

you're fucked and you need to make use of scripting to make this possible

[lean dagger]

damn. would you mind elaborating why this is the case? any technical insight? im just curious. also any resources on scripting you maybe know of? never did anything like this in xrengine

[random fulcrum]

engine limitations

[lean dagger]

so basically anything that goes into that slot also HAS to be useable one handed?

[random fulcrum]

yeah

but then again, scripting it doesn't seem complicated at all

[lean dagger]

what would the script need to do in essence?

[random fulcrum]

maybe kill the detector input if the weapon is selected?

that's the first thing that pops into mind

[lean dagger]

sorry for pestering btw, thanks a lot for the insights

[random fulcrum]

surely there are better ways to approach this but that's the first thing

that i'd try at least

iirc barry's axes has a script that blocks detector usage

because melees are always one handed regardless of the slot they go in

either that mod or more melee features, also by barry

[lean dagger]

ohh thats a great lead, will check it out

[lean dagger]

sadly it doesent block the usage but detects if the detector is out and then multiplies the dealt damage by 0.4, cant find anything that would prevent the detector pullout sadly, any other ideas? sorry im completely clueless.

[random fulcrum]

killing the detector input

[lean dagger]

any ideas where i could find a similar function? or any reference? i have been looking around the sdk articles and whatnot but i cant really find anything basic enough to start, or maybe im not looking deep enough

[random fulcrum]

jesus also the damage penalty doesn't work due to how unflexible gbo is

let me come up with something

[lean dagger]

maybe on weapon equip unbind the detector action, store the key SOMEHOW and then on swapping back bind it again? no clue if you can read and store such data in scripts tho

[random fulcrum]

nah just an on_key_press where you return false if the selected weapon is so and so

thing is i have zero clue as to which keybind the detector key is

[lean dagger]

show_detector?

at least in the user.ltx its named that

[random fulcrum]

or maybe an actor_on_update

nah that ain't it

idk on update sounds easier to pull off but also ugly

[lean dagger]

and just hardcoding it to make it ignore the 6 key? as thats the default binding? thats really shoddy tho

[random fulcrum]

local interval = 10
local last = 0
function actor_on_update()
    if ((time_global() - last) > interval) then
        last = time_global()
        if (db.actor and (string.find(db.actor:active_item():section(), "ks23"))) then
            if not (db.actor:active_detector()) then
                return
            else
                db.actor:force_hide_detector()
            end
        end
    end
end

function on_game_start()
    RegisterScriptCallback("actor_on_update", actor_on_update)
end

maybe this

try this

if you want to go the on_update route

[river fjord]

nope, i wrote a script that halves the damage if you try to swing them one-handed, you can still use them with detectors no issue tho.
i also did custom draw/holster anims for 1-handed versions.
no idea how my stuff in implemented in this pack tho

[random fulcrum]

most nested if is redundant as all hell but whatever

[random fulcrum]

ah i recall way back you were looking into blocking detector usage altogether

but i have the memory of a fish

[river fjord]

yep but it couldnt be done without also locking them out of the bino/knife slot so i opted for half-damge and unique anims for drawing in that instance instead

iirc this modpack just makes them only able to go into the main 2-slots pretty much scraping all the custom stuff i did

[lean dagger]

yeah axes and sledge can only go into main weapon slots

[random fulcrum]

average gamma situation really lmfao

[lean dagger]

testing

[river fjord]

pretty much all my mods have double the features if you get the moddb version vs the version implemented in this shit

[lean dagger]

i mean it instantly curbs the detector attempt, the animation looks wonky but its preventing usage

[random fulcrum]

yeah you can reduce the interval to something like 1 to make it run every single engine tick but that's unhealthy as all hell

[lean dagger]

yeah, had my fair share of elden ring modding and learned to pace updates of stuff moderately the hard way lmao

thanks a lot for the script and the patience!

[random fulcrum]

can also use that for other guns like idk

the stakeout ithaca

or sawnoffs

or the small smgs

[lean dagger]

yeah, i figured, thanks a lot!

While I decide whether I want to get off my arse and do some fancy ass animations for items so you don't have to watch the same animation for a single item over and over and over again

[slow bolt]

More anims would be nice. Like for things that dont have them

If only i also could decide to get off my arse and learn how to do that

You’ll probably have to unpack the db files to get the base outfits.ltx file

The unpacker is included with Anomaly iirc, and you can extract only the config files

any clues?

[ancient lagoon]

Sorry if wrong place to ask. My raptor drums are being treated as medium mags instead of large and it's driving me crazy. (using Mags Redux) The ltx file in the mod for the mag says mag_size=large though in game tooltip says medium and its using medium loudout slots. Any ideas? ty ❤️ Edit: FIXED GAMMA Weapon Pack has a version of the raptor drum mag file, it's winning the conflict, and it is set to medium.

Hi, can I have any advice as to how can I intensify bleeding HUD effect? It is too transparent for me, most of the time I do not notice I'm bleeding, hence wondering if I could find it's overlay and tune down transparency or something.

[slow bolt]

Effects like that are made as shaders, so i dont think it will be that easy. They change brightness and pulse

[knotty spade]

I expected it to be simple overlay, damn.

But thank you much, I'm a tiny step closer!

[slow bolt]

I am not really knowledgeable in this topic, really. But you would need to edit specific shaders(which i assume are .ppe files)

[obsidian void]

I just use the bleed icon mod: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/bleed-icon

[knotty spade]

Thank you!

Hey, I would like to make the German translation of Gamma, but unfortunately I can not find the files in the game files. Can someone help me on the hint?

[hazy dove]

Where in GAMMA would you go to alter the Ballistic Resistance values for armors?

[torpid pivot]

you'll want to do a DLTX edit changing bones_koeff_protection

something like this

you can override the stats in damages.ltx but i would reccomend just using another outfit's values

[hazy dove]

Thank you so much! Where in GAMMA is this at?

[ebon pulsar]

Hey, I would like to make the German translation of Gamma, but unfortunately I can not find the files in the game files. Can someone help me??

[torpid pivot]

for small stuff I would edit GAMMA actor damage balancer gamedata/configs/mod_system_items_armors_br_class_rework.ltx

to find the values for specific suits use the db_unpacker.bat in Anomaly/tools

search damages.ltx

[torpid pivot]

I would start with GAMMA massive text overhaul Project and daralief's text edits for gamma specific stuff
most of the ingame text is from Anomaly use the Anomaly unpacker i mentioned above and check config/text

[hazy dove]

You are AMAZING!

How do you add an item to a trader's inventory?
Example: I've gone to G.A.M.M.A. Economy items/trade/trade_stalker_sidorovich.ltx to add the ghillie suit for him to sell, but nothing is there.
;[Outfits]
ghillie_outfit = 1, 1

[ebon pulsar]

Thank you

[versed wave]

Where KS-23 insert and pump sounds are defined?

[rigid sail]

The sound effects themselves are named in the weapons .ltx config file. Finding the file that contains those sounds though, is more of an issue.

Oh, nevermind, looks like sound effects actually give the paths unlike animations. It uses MP133 sounds for all reload animations

[tulip magnet]

Does anyone know if changing the faction relations in story mode will cause issues?

For example if I make it so Freedom is at war with Bandits will anything get broke or does the game mostly compensate for that?

[rigid sail]

I've used the reputation edit mod to do a similar thing. Unless it breaks a story quest (IE messes with Mono/Sin relations and trivializes the Strelok/Sin story quests), it seems fine.

There will be some more firefights in AW than usual as the Bandit spawns there get gunned down by Freedom, but that's about as bad as it's likely to get.

[misty mulch]

the ; before [Outfits] means you've commented out the section, so no wonder it doesn't work. the section is commented out because traders are not supposed to sell armor.

[misty mulch]

for best compatibility, you should make a DLTX mod, and not edit the GAMMA mod files directly. for one thing, if you edit directly, everything will be reset every time you update gamma. for another, it is much easier to troubleshoot if you make a proper DLTX mod

check pins for how to do so

[versed wave]

is it possible to edit the table in grok_casings_sounds.script which is defined and initialized as

--outermost scope
cal_to_sound = {
   ["ammo_23x75_shrapnel"] = "shotgun",
   ["ammo_23x75_barrikada"] = "shotgun",
   ["ammo_20x70_buck"] = "shotgun",
   ["ammo_23_eco"] = "shotgun",
--(...)

from another script? I want to edit a few fields. or do I have to overwrite the whole script?

[random fulcrum]

maybe with a function that patches the table?

[steady apex]

grok_casings_sounds.cal_to_sound.ammo_23x75_shrapnel = "pistol"

for example

if the table is not local then its possible

[narrow stream]

Hey if anyone could like honestly explain it to me , it will be very helpful , question is If there are so many mods out there that even null moxy covers why cant anybody explain it to me how to make your own mod organiser mod list and play? Like is there a possibility or is it not compatible etc etc , im not mad i just cant make the sense of these youtubers on youtube showcasing weapon packs n such , must be something cause if gamma and efp are complete mods why bother with working on new mods ? Like i see comment section people saying does this work for anomaly i mean there are some people who make their own chosen mods like weather mods gun mods , i just need to try my own setup if other people are doing it so could i i mean no disrespect just curious

[narrow stream]

No worries no need to answer that my bad i got the answer from other people

[soft burrow]

I'm testing some things.
Looks like bind_crow.crow_counter is accurate on savegame load, and as it's higher than max_crows_on_level, no more crows will spawn.

But after an emission that kills all crows sr_crow_spawner.script starts spawning crows but bind_crow isn't counting the new crows. So it spawns crows forever.

If I save and load after more than max_crows_on_level crows have spawned, the crow spawning stops.
Gotta check what happens if I save and load before it reaches that max value.

[soft burrow]

Looks like if I save and load right after all crows die bind_crow.script only works and counts new crows up to 2, making sr_crow_spawner.script spawn infinte crows, one every two seconds, more or less.

If I alt+tab out and back into the game bind_crow.script updates for some reason and counts the crows accurately for a second, making sr_crow_spawner.script stop.

I believe it must be some system spec limitation on my computer that is causing bind_crow.script to be paused and report the wrong count of crows to sr_crow_spawner.script

Damn my potato pc

[narrow stirrup]

Anyone knows what is the file that make a gun being able to use a laser?
it is something that you should enable it on the config file like alt aim or something like that or is something related to animated files?

[obsidian void]

Lasers are built into the weapons somehow, they aren’t separate attachments. That’s all I really know about it.

[narrow stirrup]

mmm i have a weird situation, i have to update ppp to the newest one for firebreath reanimation pistols, but newest ppp broke some gunslinger guns, so i just copy the textures of the newest ppp on the ppp i have working fine, last update of ppp has on his fomod a variant of the walther that adds a laser, fomod firebreath of reanimation pistol has a patch for this feature, and weapon looks cool there is no problem on the gun, textures are fine, but sadly laser doesn't work, you can see the laser on the gun but it has no function, that what i was wondering about this but i am not sure how to enable it

[obsidian void]

Unfortunately I know almost nothing about how lasers are actually made functional. I would start by looking at the files for another weapon with a functional laser and see how they are doing it

[narrow stirrup]

i see thanks for the first steps i'm gonna take a look

[simple scaffold]

they are bits of the model. like a plastic stick stuck off the front of a toy gun with an led in it to make it glow.

[hazy scarab]

what's the carabineer shotgun's .ltx name?

[narrow stirrup]

i guess the laser should be attached on the blender, i can see the laser attachment but seems like it's only for the look of the weapon

[slow bolt]

Find it in debug and see

I bet mp153 ltx file has it

[hazy scarab]

yeah turned out I already had it got it mixed up with the mp133 - mp153 btw

hello. I found. that in your version of better stats bar lines from sota's ui gamma rework.
So I thought that they are working together. But I recently found out, that with your script - there is a issue with thirst bar: you can see it on screenshot. My bar is 50% empty, but when you hover mouse it shows 29%
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1115558016608120863/1166915845285486652/image.png?ex=654c3a11&is=6539c511&hm=d9ab17b232445c16437f5f9d2abdac1bca50e15ff1ce8e92c64c591d599f1592&

[soft burrow]

I've stopped using sota's ui and have gone back to the vanilla ui, so I'm not updating those small edits I've made.
Are you talking about the ctrl stutter fix I made? Can you confirm that the problem doesn't happen when you use only sota's files?

[narrow coyote]

yeah, i am talking about that ctrl fix. and yes I can confirm that it is not happen with sota's file, I tested it

[soft burrow]

Please upload both sota's and my files here so I can take a look. It may take a while, I'm not at my desktop right now.

[narrow coyote]

thx. i will dm you

[soft burrow]

Here is fine

[soft burrow]

should work exactly like sota's now but with no ctrl stutter

[soft burrow]

Does anyone know any good methods of tweaking the body health system?

I was wanting to tweak it and turn down the head and torso health as it seems like I'm only losing limbs.

[simple scaffold]

There is only that I know of, edit the script

[slow bolt]

If you lose them - you die instantly

[regal bolt]

@surreal gust Yo. Ask here

[surreal gust]

Ok

[regal bolt]

XR_Logic here tried to make a new map, but on a vanilla gamma modlist it doesn't work and spews this error. Any ideas everyone?

[surreal gust]

Prob has to do with ambience and shit

[regal bolt]

Nor on my modded modlist

[surreal gust]

Not sure which addon is the problem because i dont have "gamma at home"

[regal bolt]

You don't?

[surreal gust]

I only have anomaly

On anomaly the map works fine

Try removing the environment folder from the map and see if it launches

You will obviously lose ambient sounds but do that so that i confirm that an addon is messing with the ambience

[simple scaffold]

Seems odd that that would be a problem but it definitely looks that way from the log.

See what addon in gamma has a the file background_forest

[regal bolt]

Wait up a bit

Deleting the environment folder worked

And it plays CoP outskirts at day soundtrack as an ambience

spawned 2 bandits on my ass

And now it spawned a stalker

[surreal gust]

By ambience i meant the horror ambience

[regal bolt]

?

[surreal gust]

The random screams and howls you hear in stalker

[regal bolt]

The modded background soundtrack?

[regal bolt]

These are random? I always found something near these

[surreal gust]

Yes

They are just the sound files in .ogg format

[regal bolt]

Ok

Well. Shit works if you remove these

[surreal gust]

Its not a problem with the map

Its just some fucking addon

Try testing the volumetric lights lol

[regal bolt]

I tested something else

I spawned in 15 squads and started a war inbetween them

No fps drops

And NPCs took cover behind the sparse bushes and trees

And I've found the mod that may be screwing this map over

[pliant obsidian]

is it possible to create a grip attachment mod?

[regal bolt]

304- Dark Signal Weather and Ambiance Audio - Shrike

[regal bolt]

Maybe

[surreal gust]

Hanging lamp

Stashes?

Do they work

[regal bolt]

I didn't see any

[surreal gust]

They are located in the asphalt area of the map

[regal bolt]

The road?

[surreal gust]

All the way to the left

Yes

[pliant obsidian]

how possible is it? like what kind of conflicts would it run into or anything of that sort?

[regal bolt]

I am no modder, but people here already did add a shitload of suppressors, under-barrel grenade launcher and a multitude of scopes along with scope kits so maybe a grip is not that bad of an idea

I just hope it's stats would be reasonable like -9 recoil impulse and +7% handling

[pliant obsidian]

yeah i wanted to make something like that but I ain't a modder too, but since no one has created one yet Im willing to learn and do it myself

[regal bolt]

Not like with silencers that add damage for some unknown reason

[pliant obsidian]

never knew silencers added damage

[regal bolt]

Good luck then

[regal bolt]

Stashes work. The little crate doesn't. Doors are push only and only one of the breakable crates had an item in it

[surreal gust]

Do the other crates break

Crates have an rng value of giving items

[regal bolt]

The wooden ones yes, besides the small basket

[simple scaffold]

some kinds of supressors do increase mussel velocity. which would mean more nergy in the bullet wich could equate to more damage.

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1802.05748.pdf

silencers in video games only lower damage for game balance reasons. Since they have no way to simulate the guns balance being messed up, the extra length catching on things, and the other real life downsides of adding a muzzel extention they had to do something. it couldn't be pure benifit.

[surreal gust]

Thats normal

The basket is a static object

Could you send the volumetric light pics?

[regal bolt]

No. I'm a dx8 user sadly

For me it was jus a bright bulb with no light around it

Add some static light like the campfires do

Or like the lightbulb in jupiter container fort hss in the workshop

where can i find the ltx file responsible for telling the grenades what sounds to use

specifically the landing impact sound which is just the generic impact noise for small props

the impact noise is nostalgic

[surreal gust]

im installing that mod to see what fuck up did shrike do

and fix it

D:\Anomaly\MO2\mods\Valley_map\gamedata\configs\environment\ambients

make a new folder called environment

and then ambients

and then put this file and see if it works

[surreal gust]

also heres a new spawn file

made a fuck up with the level changers but i fixed em

https://www.mediafire.com/file/pb4fhktox4nxg2r/all.spawn/file

[wind heron]

anyone succesfully made hd modles perfectly working in the current build ?

i have it with no real issues but i get some broken icons its annoying

there was a patch but since last update it broke

[regal bolt]

I'll be on it in a minute. Gotta wake up first xD

[surreal gust]

kk

came back from school a few hours ago

[surreal gust]

also you can turn on r1_volumetric_lights in the console and see if that changes the light

once you enter the command you dont have to restart the game or use the vid_restart command

this is how they should look during sunsets and night time

in the mean time you can also replace the all.spawn

i just changed the destination (from level changer) coordinates

[regal bolt]

Is there a command to skip time?

[surreal gust]

skip time?

you can speed up the time

[regal bolt]

Yeah

[surreal gust]

however it can lag the game

its called time_factor

i usually set it to 1000 when im testing smart terrains

make sure to start a new game so that the smart terrains work fully

[regal bolt]

Yeah yeah. I know the drill

[surreal gust]

just telling because some people dont know how to read

[regal bolt]

Where do I place this file in the Valley zip?

[surreal gust]

not zip

the folder

go to gamedata of the mod

then spawns

remove the old one and replace it with that one

[regal bolt]

Okay

downloading now

[regal bolt]

I have no r1_volumetric_light command in game

And I just died to an emission as I sped up time

[surreal gust]

make yourself god

to do this type

g_god on

[regal bolt]

The lightbulb on dx8 doesn't do much. It has static light sphere, but no volumetric light

[surreal gust]

thats because of dx8 sadly

[regal bolt]

F7-G works as well. I just forgot xD

[surreal gust]

you can do it in the console anyways

[regal bolt]

I'm not gonna use a higher one as my laptop would fry itself

[surreal gust]

its fine

oh i made a slight mistake

its r2_volumetric_lights

but r2 is for directx9 i think

[regal bolt]

But spawns work. They do walk around

Yes

R3- DX10
R4- DX11

[surreal gust]

also when i fixed the spawn files i mean that i changed the coordinates of the destonation position

it doesnt have any ai changes or some shit

[regal bolt]

okay

[surreal gust]

afk

[regal bolt]

Kk. The map works fine so far

But the only thing I see after loading DX9 is this

No volumetric light for Dx9

Maybe DX10?

But I already had an insane frames drop because of the time factor command. I'm not gonna push my laptop further

[acoustic drum]

Cool

[surreal gust]

volumetric lights in xray have shit performance

but its not going to be as bad as time factor

try setting dx9 to be normal

instead of basic

because dx9 basic afaik doesnt have volumetric lightining

[regal bolt]

I used dx9 enchanced

[surreal gust]

then its gotta be dx10

oh well you dont have to if you dont want to

[regal bolt]

Yeah. No. Not going that far

[surreal gust]

my gpu is a gtx 660 anyways

[regal bolt]

mine is mx130

[surreal gust]

once you're done testing

send me a feedback of the map

[regal bolt]

What do you mean by that?

[surreal gust]

like what needs change and shit

[regal bolt]

Btw can anyone help me bind a key to a console command?

[regal bolt]

That's your job. I just test integrity and features. So far it's been pretty barebones, no fps drops, no issues and pretty much everything works as intended

[surreal gust]

okay

[regal bolt]

If I could reccomend something, then make 2 checkpoings at each end of the road, add duty to one, freedom on the other, and 3 camps on the road with makeshift barricades fof npcs to contest

Make a mutant den on one side of the road and another rather larger camp/building for loners to inhabit close to the warring camps

Then add freedom and duty trying to attack the middle camp, and surge shelters for thc loners shack, duty and freedom checkpoints,

Afterwards put the map inbetween rostok and army warehouses

[simple scaffold]

function on_key_press(key)
  if key == DIK_keys.DIK_F8 then
    exec_console_cmd("consolecommand here")
  end
end

function on_game_start()
RegisterScriptCallback("on_key_press",on_key_press)
end

you can only have one on_game_start per script so add this line to it if it already exists.

[surreal gust]

i'll consider that thank you

[surreal gust]

if only find some space for it

i was thinking bordering it with rostok and truck cemetery

[regal bolt]

Might as well, then swap freedom with bandits

[regal bolt]

Thanks, but I already did it

[surreal gust]

kk

im currently playing shadow of coop

[regal bolt]

Cool

[regal bolt]

I just did open console and wrote "bind_console time_factor 0.55 kC"

It works one way, but after a fight I can just open it again and type in time_factor 1

As I use C for my free zoom button

[simple scaffold]

function on_key_press(key)
  if key == DIK_keys.DIK_C then
    local tf = get_console():get_float("time_factor")
    if tf == 1 then
      exec_console_cmd("time_factor 0.55")
    else
      exec_console_cmd("time_factor 1")
    end
  end
end

function on_game_start()
RegisterScriptCallback("on_key_press",on_key_press)
end

``` if you wanted C to toggle to back and forth each time you press it.

or whatever key.

[regal bolt]

Thanks!

But i Don't want to toggle it on my freezoom key really. Maybe on tab/Caps lock as I have both of them with no roles

[regal bolt]

Aaaand where do I put this code?

[surreal gust]

Just make a script file ig

[simple scaffold]

In a .script file

[surreal gust]

And put it in gamedata/scripts

[simple scaffold]

Pretty sure tab will be DIK_TAB

[regal bolt]

Okay. How the hell do I make a script file? Just make a text file and call it bullet.script?

[simple scaffold]

Yeah just make sure the extension actually changed and you didn't make a .script.txt

[regal bolt]

Ok

[surreal gust]

If it did save it as a .script file

[regal bolt]

How do I change the extension in case I would need to?

[simple scaffold]

Probably from the properties box in windows.
I forget I set windows to always show the extension years ago and just do it from the regular rename

[celest forge]

Anyone knows how does the game determine which armor has a mask overlay on the screen

[surreal gust]

You can also do it by opening notepad and selecting save as and then save it as a .script file

Works for me

[surreal gust]

Probably the armor ltx file

[celest forge]

I'm looking at that and there's nothign that says anything about that, i know the overlay is shader based

But nothing in the helmet ltx file references anything like that

I even copied the sectiong of a mask with it and changed just the name to make it a new item

and it didn't change, so i'm guessing it's maybe handled with a script

[simple scaffold]

The water drops are a shader. The masks are a texture.

Big list on the ltx read by the script I wrote for grok and nav back in 2020

[celest forge]

the thing that's on the corners with some of the helmets as a texture?

[surreal gust]

the entire thing is a texture

expect for the rain drops

even the cracks are a texture

[celest forge]

Oh yeah I just wanted to know where it was determined which helmets used it and which ones didn't

actor_effects.ltx for anyone that may need it in the future

[simple scaffold]

unless you have the version of navs with the extra masks. i think that one has a supplemental ltx i think. it's been three years

back before dltx it was easier to add the extra masks to a second ltx and have my patch script read the data from there. in order to avoid conflicts with other addons changing the actor_effects.ltx

brings back memories, fixing this addon of @undone lily 's is what led me to write the mokey patching guide. We have compleatly changed the stalker modding landscape since then. this seems quaint now.

[celest forge]

Yeah I just DLTX'd both of the helmets I made and it works perfectly

[simple scaffold]

it was a different time. no dltx made mod conflicts common. you basically had to be a modmaker to have a modlist of more than a few dozen addons. because of all the manual merging and patching.

[clear basin]

Like this guy I am looking for the armor degradation modifier. Getting shot twice and having my combat purpouse armor be reduced from 100% to 85 is ridiculous. Can anyone help?

[random fulcrum]

grok_actor_damage_balancer

also don't know how you're losing 15% of the armor in 2 consecutive hits

[naive snow]

So I've got the SDK setup, the level I want to look at unpacked/converted. However, in the level editor pressing File > Open... doesn't bring up anything, no window to select or anything. Anyone ran into a similar problem?

[strong crystal]

If I wanted to change the animations from one of the AKs, to use a different AK animation thats already in the game, is it a matter of just changing text to swap from one animation set to another or is it more involved than that?

I want to take some of the stuff like the 74M and AK12 2016 and remove the mag cusping animations and just make them hold the handguards like on most other aks

[static nebula]

If they use the same rig then it should be pretty simple, as long as you have the right tool for it

[dusky moon]

Though it has already been said, it is simultaneously amusing and infuriating seeing comments on passion projects asking for completely outlandish additions to be made by mod authors.

I can hazard a guess, but I do wonder how one would feel when they are given those requests; instead of thanks for their hard work.

[grizzled gorge]

I don't see what's wrong with adding new Tarkob weapons to Demonized ledge grabbing.

bro.

There is no fucking projects working on anomaly multiplayer

so for now multiplayer is not possible

until someone starts doing it

but i doubt they will

[regal bolt]

Dude. We don't even have a proper stalker multiplayer project, why would you think that there is mp on anomaly?

[surreal gust]

i was thinking of releasing my map as a PROTOTYPE

im not sure about this

should i do it

[random fulcrum]

inb4 it gets added to gamma in the prototype stage and then people complain it's a prototype

[sand briar]

great username giving me ptsd lol

[surreal gust]

I guess i will wait for a little longer

not sure if i want to remake the terrain because of a small ass mistake i made

i forgot to add the outside level boundary terrain

and it makes the map look really bad at the edges

[junior dove]

no i mean if u put ur time to it with good coding knowledge is it possible ?

[regal bolt]

Good coding won't be enough.

[hardy hound]

idk, probably

there's projects like xrMPE out, and still being worked

doubt it's worth the time and no pay

[limpid drum]

idk if this is the rightchat, but is the CMMG Mk47 featured in the game? and if not, is there a mod for one?

[hybrid forum]

Oh my goodness MCM is complicated. I just wanted to add an options slider to my mod

[slow bolt]

What kind do you need?

its simpler to copy from other mods

[hybrid forum]

I'm working on a mod to modify melee damage values by the user's desired amount. Currently I just have a bunch of presets, but I wanted to instead make a MCM config with a slider to make it more user-friendly.

It's obviously not essential to the mod working. Was mainly doing it to learn MCM

[slow bolt]

You can do a list selection or just a simple slider from 1 to x, with step of 1

[hybrid forum]

Probably a list selection then since I don't need it to step by 1

[slow bolt]

{id = "MEDKITS_HEAL_LOGIC", type = "list", val = 2, content={ {1,"MEDKITS_ALL_HEAL"}, {2,"MEDKITS_ONE_HEAL"}}, def=2.0},
is how i do it

Gives you a list with 2 options, its either 1 or 2

[hybrid forum]

MEDKITS_ALL_HEAL is its own file?

Or just a reference to a value in a file?

[slow bolt]

oh, you need it that basic. sec

[hybrid forum]

Sorry it's my first mod 🙂

I wanted to keep it simple to start. Might do something more interesting than melee damage later

[slow bolt]

Pretty sure this is only one way of doing it. I saw 2 other ways of handling MCM

[hybrid forum]

I will keep researching. Thank you for getting me started

[random fulcrum]

making a slider for melee damage ain't so simple in the context of gamma

you need to go through the hassle that is working with gbo

it will work against mutants since damage to those still goes through the engine but against human mobs it will remain the same

[hybrid forum]

I haven't found that to be the case, personally. But maybe with more testing you will be proved right

[terse zealot]

Is there a mod that lets me sell the old armor I'm no longer using?

[slow bolt]

Black market is in gamma, so it can allow you to sell shit i think

for basically nothing though

[terse zealot]

The system is very interesting however BM only allows you to sell guns

[random fulcrum]

just donate if you want to get rid of it

[terse zealot]

Oh right, donating would give some goodwill to advance traders at least

[grizzled gorge]

The traders that sell/buy weapon also buy outfits but you have to repair them

[hybrid forum]

Wait donating gives goodwill??

[terse zealot]

Oh it's the mod creator lol

[terse zealot]

I actually just assumed lmao

[hybrid forum]

The technician has so many bits and bobs of random armors donated from me that it's unreal

[grizzled gorge]

Not actual creator but i "work" on it xD

[terse zealot]

Maintainer :)

[hybrid forum]

I thought you could disable it caring about condition for black market as well

I haven't used that in a while

[terse zealot]

Alright, I think my issue is I was trying to sell the starter armor to higher tier trader

[grizzled gorge]

There is no restriction regarding armors/traders, you should be able to sell any outfit to any bm trader. which one refuses to buy ?

[terse zealot]

The Keeper of Freedom to trader at military warehouses

Huh

let's see

Well freedom trader at warehouse is accepting "Guardian of Freedom" suit, let's see about the starter one

Huh. It works now for some reason? xd

I have long history of things working again after I complain about it in discord. Maybe this is just another such situation

Anyways thanks for the mod :)

[grizzled gorge]

Yes

[terse zealot]

Somehow after enabling black market mod autodisassemble function works too xd

[hybrid forum]

Yeehaw

[long wasp]

does anyone here know what mod @faint sable uses for his inventory ?

[faint sable]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/enhanced-gui

[long wasp]

i also saw you had done your own mod or something abotu npc models and i cant find that again

[median patrol]

hello, how do i change the value of the penalty reduction of the disguise system?

basically: now when you have a lot of negative goodwill with a faction, the disguise system works but you still get shot at

so i want to increase the value that the disguise system removes

[ornate hemlock]

whoa, does this work for gamma?

[rigid sail]

Just installed it myself, has a GAMMA patch option in the MCM so I assume so.

[hybrid forum]

Woo, just released my first mod 🙂

Extremely simple mod, but still

[rigid sail]

Congrats mate. Simple mods are the best to start with.

[hybrid forum]

I'll have to come back to the MCM thing later. I have stuff to do

[velvet pasture]

Hello guys. I had a question. I'm actually not making a mod but rigging, animation for my own stalker project

I had a small problem with the extracted map.

This is fbx format, i'm sure people who doing 3d modeling knows fbx, obj etc very well.

The thing is ground looks very raw, in the game it's tiled with textures but i dont know why it is not there in the blender.

You see this? In the extracted map everything has textures, maybe alphas are not ok, i've taken care of those but the ground is really like primitive.

As you see the stuff is binded to joints but i've added controllers and upgraded the skin weight.

The weapons that i've kinda rigged or connected controls.

For me to be able to make a stalker movie i need to fix the textures of the ground on the fbx.

Next step is adding controllers to the characters. I will take care of it with advanced skeleton, since chars are binded with joints i will only upgrade skin weights.

Can anyone help me to fix the ground?

[static nebula]

because nobody's made one

also not sure if there's any animations out there that would fit it, or animators willing to make the animations lol

[somber sun]

hey guys do you know of any way to make rank gain slower?

[torn vault]

@somber sunopen game_relations.ltx and edit rating

[lean apex]

Because the texture tiles are overlaid by a special level shader in the game. Blender doesn't support these shaders. Of course purely in theory you can try to get texture tiles for levels in the form of texture, but I have not dug on this topic.

[somber sun]

which one of these should i edit?

[torn vault]

@somber sun search for this file in mo2 in the Data tab, it'll show you the one that's in effect

i'd recommend creating a new mod in mo2 for your edit, that'll make it easy to organize and undo

[velvet karma]

So, I'm trying to wrap my head around using dltx for something simple, but I'm fucking stupid and can't figure it out.
I just want to make a file that changes max_uses for items without editing the original file so I don't have to do this aside from newly added items.

Anyone able to eli5?

[torn vault]

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

[velvet karma]

I am reading that already.

I'm just extremely dense.

[torn vault]

i'll bail you out just this once, what's the item?

[velvet karma]

I want to change the max uses on repair items, nearly all of them, just to add a few more uses.

We'll go sewing thread to start. If I can figure it out from there then that would be good.

[torn vault]

create gamedata\configs\mod_system_kits.ltx, then:

![sewing_thread]
max_uses = 5
![glue_b]
max_uses = 5
![glue_a]
max_uses = 5
![glue_b]
max_uses = 5

does this make sense?

[velvet karma]

Yes actually.

Thank you very much.

[random fulcrum]

do keep in mind that dltx files are loaded in alphabetical order

after the system_ bit

but please, for the love of all things noncringe, don't stack zs

that's like the singular worst practice in dltx modding

[torn vault]

a certain g***itach is known for that

[random fulcrum]

yeah, what a sad world we live in

[velvet karma]

I really do appreciate the help since I'm very much an idiot stuck on pretty much step one of the guide. I can't figure out what folder I need to point to with the [Base Folder] : A path to the unpacked vanilla files of the game;

But I can add to with what you gave me no problem.

[torn vault]

i take it you're trying to extract assets from vanilla ano to find out what the items are called?

[velvet karma]

I guess? I'm literally looking at the website with no prior knowledge on modding this.

[torn vault]

in anomaly's folder, you'll see the "tools" subfolder, where you can run db_unpacker.bat to extract ltx, xml and scripts, or db_unpacker_all.bat to unpack everything (slow)

you're probably interested in tools\_unpacked\configs\items\items\items_repair.ltx"
hm, i should practice regex here

[velvet karma]

So do I just run the unpacker.bat and it will give me the _unpacked folder?
