mods make this man orange

[torn vault]

earned a few modding experience points for that

[velvet karma]

If I'm changing multiple lines of an item, do they need to be in order? Or can the line be in whatever order?

![sharpening_stones]
cost = 1860
max_uses = 4```

Just in case I get a line in the wrong order and can't figure out what I screwed up later on.

Can it go this way? max_uses = cost =

Not that I am looking to intentionally change the order or anything.

[torn vault]

@velvet karmai don't think it matters, but you could run the game and find out
in debug mode, in the pause menu, you can press f5 to reload all config files so you can verify your edits without a full game restart

[velvet karma]

Serious? Awesome, I'll try that now.

One more thing if possible. Crafted items such as the field armour repair kit, will it still only have two uses after I craft it?

[torn vault]

@velvet karma wait, was it the pause menu (esc) or the debug menu (f7)? one of those is correct

[velvet karma]

Or is that another thing I will need to change.

Ah sorry, that's actually something I could check myself if I was just thinking a bit.

I'll check it myself, sorry.

[hazy scarab]

Can anyone please help me disable foggy weather permanently?

[surreal gust]

hey! thats what i wanted

[hazy scarab]

please this is killing me, I'm staring at a patch taking fire in the face and cant see the asshole shooting m,e

[hearty plinth]

guys how do i modify the damage of the pkm?

i wana customize the gun dmg

[hazy scarab]

edit w_pkm.ltx

[hearty plinth]

ahh alr

[hearty plinth]

where exactly do i find it?

which one is it?

@hazy scarab

[ivory nebula]

Is there a way to increase actor eye level height ? the stalker current is midget level

[velvet pasture]

But how lost alpha or gamma modders are able to create maps and tile surfaces?

[fossil birch]

it's in actor.ltx, a value called camera_height_factor, just adjust that either up or down to get your desired camera height, characters hitbox doesn't change though

[ivory nebula]

Thanks !

[hearty plinth]

guys can you help me modify the damage on the guns? i wana increase the pkm dmg by a little bit, so it would be worth using.

@fossil birch can u help? (sry for ping)

[unreal moat]

guys can you suggest me some mods to add to my gamma 9.1?

[hearty plinth]

Bas guns

[unreal moat]

isin't bas in gamma by default?

[fossil birch]

use the Data search box in mo2 to find the pkm file the game is actually using

open it and the find the line that's called hit_power, and adjust that up very slightly. You don't need to raise it a ton to increase damage. That's the quick and dirty way of doing it at least

[hearty plinth]

alr

[hearty plinth]

i cant find the data serch box

found

sry

[hearty plinth]

what comand decreases vertical recoil?

[violet bone]

Hello people! Tell me how to disable the mod for ballistics and cartridges from GROK?

[hearty plinth]

ask in

[violet bone]

thank

[knotty spade]

Actually it was an overlay entire time.

Looks like mod adds this texture on screen and flashes it with alpha/transparency gradient-like setting.
Image below is a screenshot from game.

(aside for simple hint what to edit and 'it's here' text, I doubled alpha on bleeding visual stuff, to be clear)

[slow bolt]

damn, nice to be wrong

[knotty spade]

Luckily for me :)

But you did help, made me more curious to dig through files, found this one by accident

[hearty plinth]

guys what do i change to decrease the vertical recoil a little bit?

[celest forge]

None of those

It's a bit above that in the file

[hearty plinth]

ahh alr

?

?

@celest forge thesse?

[celest forge]

Yup

The latter

[hearty plinth]

which one?

[hearty plinth]

^?

thesse?

[celest forge]

Cam max angle I think but I'm not sure

[hearty plinth]

ahh alr

do i increase it or do i decrease it?

[celest forge]

Probably decrease it

[hearty plinth]

ahh alr

its def not that

what else could it be?

[regal bolt]

Is here any modder that works on ingame weapon textures?

and could fix the Scar-H ubgl being made out of crystal on DX8?

I am willing to draw the textures by hand if it comes to this

[celest forge]

That's a bump map issue

[hearty plinth]

Juan what do u think it could be?

[hearty plinth]

could it be this? ^

[celest forge]

I'm actually not sure what specific value control the axial recoil, never looked that deep into it

[hearty plinth]

ahh sad

ima just go into debug and fiddle with gun editor there

[regal bolt]

Bump map?

[hearty plinth]

cant seem to figure it out

[ruby fiber]

is there a way i could go about making a keybind to equip/unequip a helmet?

like maybe be able to put the helmet in a quick use slot

[hearty plinth]

duno

mabie the custom keybinds mod could help

[celest forge]

Yeah, that's the "texture" that tells the main texture how much or little metallic it is, all the surface scratches and dents

The one for that weapon is probably not optimized for dx8, therefore making it hyper glossy

[hearty plinth]

Juan i found a way to change the recoil with

I have spent like 6hrs on this

[celest forge]

Glad you did

[regal bolt]

Can anyone in here fix this please?

[celest forge]

What gun specifically is it?

[hearty plinth]

Alr i was wrong i havent foumd it yet

[random fulcrum]

what are you looking for

vertical recoil?

that's all the cam_dispersion values

except for the angle ones

[celest forge]

If you're using gamma and actor effects, it'd be easier to just swap the recoil profiles tbh

[random fulcrum]

self explanatory as to why

cam_dispersion is your base raw recoil
cam_dispersion_frac is a factor in the recoil formula that i just can't remember where it was
cam_dispersion_inc is how much is added to cam_dispersion after every consecutive shot

same goes for the zoom_ values

and if you want to do the cool gbo violent camera sways i have my own guide pinned in this channel on what exactly each number does

[hearty plinth]

alr thx

what abr horizontal recoil?

@random fulcrum

[solar cipher]

what's a good reshade for dx9?

[random fulcrum]

angle values

[hearty plinth]

Yes

[regal bolt]

I'm gonna find it and send you a ss

Wpn_scar_siber

Wpn_scar_siber_black as well

[static nebula]

it looks like both the bump map and base texture are missing 🤔 wonder what happened there

[regal bolt]

Can't say.i just know I've found one and hated it for that glossy shit

Although I'd love to use a scar as my DMR I can't because it looks awful

[celest forge]

Nah, if the texture was missing it would be dark blue and if the bump map was missing it wouldn't be glossy, quite the opposite

[static nebula]

oh you're right, my bad
im too used to blender

[celest forge]

Yeah lol

Actually to me it looks like a bad thm file

No way it's that way too for me

when I downgrade to dx8

Oh I see the issue

[sinful pawn]

does anyone know how to add armor to npcs kit so if they die they have the chance of spawning with it

[regal bolt]

yeah... Can anyone here fix it or is it fucked?>

[regal bolt]

Give me a second

Okay. A minute. my game just crashed

[sinful pawn]

oki

[regal bolt]

Here. Change it to full

[sinful pawn]

oh no i meant as adding a brand new armor to their mew model that you've put in the game yourself

they won't spawn the armor on death unless you put it in their npc kit but i don't know how

[regal bolt]

Then Idk. I don't play with that

[celest forge]

If you can find the original texture

yeah

[regal bolt]

Shit. I've never seen the og

[celest forge]

It's from tarkov I think

[regal bolt]

Guess I'm stuck with this baby

[idle shale]

so, i need help finding a config file. I want to change the points you get from each progression difficulty

do you guys know which one is it?

[fossil birch]

do you mean in the loadout screen where you make your character?

[idle shale]

yup

[fossil birch]

it's a file called new_game_loadouts, use the search on the side of MO2 to find the correct one

open it and edit these values to what you want

[idle shale]

just found it too

lmao

thx

[fossil birch]

np

[idle shale]

do i need to copypast from the _unpacked folder to the anomaly one?

[fossil birch]

what are you wanting to do with it exactly?

[idle shale]

just changing the values

oh nvm

i was opening directly from the games folder

not mo2

[fossil birch]

yeah when editing any of the files from GAMMA you always want to use the one in MO2 as that will always be the file loaded

[idle shale]

thank you very much!

[hybrid forum]

Is there a way to enable debug mode without the launcher?

[grizzled gorge]

write -dbg in commandline.txt that you can find in your anomaly folder next to the AnomalyLauncher.exe

[hybrid forum]

Thank you

[static nebula]

is there a list of or guide to motion marks for HUD animations somewhere?

[regal bolt]

I have a mod idea that probably will be too hard to implement

A web browser within the pda

So you can actually listen to songs or watch yt or even access dc through the pda

That'd be cool considering xray is sensitive to alt tabbing

[slow bolt]

it is?

never noticed

[regal bolt]

On my laptop I can alt tab once and the game crashes after I try to leave the menu in more populated/unoptimized areas

In my base that happens after 3 to 5 alt tabs

Rn somehow in AW I've been able to do this over 10 times already, dunno how

[celest forge]

Where do these sections come from/determined by in the death_outfits.ltx

[random fulcrum]

model names

[dusk parcel]

I got a simple question, pretty new to this, but i have a sort of idea of certain things with just editing values and small scripts and stuff

i have a cool ass companion, and kinda want my armor to look like his, not that its a big deal, and you dont really go in third person, but hey we mod the game to make it how we want right? anyways, any ideaso n how to do that? I cant seem to get the config file I edited to stick

i have the actor value but when I set mine to that it doesnt show

[fair inlet]

so you want to change your third person model you can't really see? Not the hud legs and arms models?

[dusk parcel]

I mean the arms on the skat-9 are kinda crap with old dog compared to THAP, but installing THAP is a pain to get working right because of how tight EFP is

but yeah I wanted my 3rd person model to be different, lol, didn't know if that worked or not

i mean if legs and arms is as far as it goes that'd be fine too I guess, I thought you could change your 3pv model, though thats probably more work than I thought it would be it sounds

I just don't like the black soft arm thingy with the sk-9's

lol he's got some sick gear on and a backpack sometimes I pop into 3pv when running around the zone and it'd be nice to have a char that showed at least somewhat that im lugging around a ton of shit. idk man, would I be able to change the fpv at least so i'm not looking at those arm guards?

[fair inlet]

pretty sure efp uses thap by default. Not even going to ask why do you ask in gamma server about efp.
Still, I helped with third person model here, I doubt anyone is willing to explain it personally: #╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

[dusk parcel]

I actually didn't look at the discord I was in I thought it was EFP LOL, it's really late so that's on me. sorry hahahah

they are right on top of one another on my side, anyways, EFP uses old dog at the moment, I guess I'll ask there instead

[fair inlet]

If you won't find help there, the stuff I linked should still work on efp

[dusk parcel]

thank you for the help! gonna enjoy my skat9 alot more lol

[upbeat sun]

Not sure if this is the right channel but I'll try here first. Does anyone have any suggestions for what mods to focus on implementing first when building a large (150 or so) custom mod list? For example, visual mods first over audio, optimization mods before visual, something like that. Not sure if there's a general rule of thumb of whats best to start with or if it's simply whatever load order doesnt have conflicts.

[real quest]

Hi! I have a problem and I was sent here, I wanted to use PSO-1 scope but they either have wrong reticle (for BAS) or is completely unusable

[versed wave]

@tidal elbow about #╰⚡fps-optimisation
why not lower alife's objects per update count? default value is 20, I am playing with 12 rn and tried to lower it as low as 5 and haven't noticed much difference
i think it is better than turning off offline combat altogether, for example

[hazy owl]

Bit of a question. I have a mod i had made for the normal stalker anomaly that uses a new sound for the blowouts. I used it in gamma but it does nothing. Do i have to do anything extra for my mod to work on gamma?

[static nebula]

be sure it isn't overwritten by another mod

[hazy owl]

I found out what it was. File names. Apparently they changed when the update to 1.5.2 hit

[river fjord]

nope, what are you trying to do? there isnt really much you need to know, you just add them to your reloads/unjams to trigger the ammo count updating then or in melees to trigger the hits

[static nebula]

exactly that haha. with my saiga animations a common complaint is that the reload takes way longer than it should so i'm thinking i should fix that in any future animations i might put out

[rigid sail]

Uh, I already did that. For all the guns in GAMMA.

[river fjord]

you can just fix it in your current one in 2 seconds

[rigid sail]

#1165870164047319081 message

Oh, you want to fix it for new animations. Got it.

[river fjord]

people tweak and update anims and omfs all the time, a list of increasingly outdated omfs is probably not ideal
best if individual authors just have it in their own mod

[rigid sail]

Agreed. If only because anim authors will actually know what their naming conventions are.

[static nebula]

how so? i'm not familiar with motion marks so that's what i'm trying to figure out

[rigid sail]

But yeah, doing it yourself is like a 5 minute job if you know where everything is. 1 minute if you already know the timings.

I wrote this guide the describes the workflow I was using to patch them myself. Should cover it.

[river fjord]

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message or the guide above aegis wrote too, i havent read it myself tho yet

[rigid sail]

It's not formatted particularly well, I just wanted a text guide I could bundle with my mod for maximum compatibility.

[river fjord]

is good to have something long form for people who are completely new

[static nebula]

oh, i assumed that the motion mark had to be named in some specific way 😅 so I just add a motion mark whereever i want the weapon to be considered "reloaded" and that's about it?

[river fjord]

nah no naming conventions required

i think for unjams they need to be named specifically since that is a feature added by aoldri's anim scripts but all other marks like reloading or melee combat can be named what ever you want

[static nebula]

gotcha. and it's just on the .omf for the hands, not the weapon right?

[river fjord]

id add a range like you can see in my screenshot i linked too is the only thing, like if your mag-in is at frame 55, make it like 52 and 58 for the range

[river fjord]

yep always add motion marks to the hands only

[static nebula]

sweet, thanks you two for the help

[rigid sail]

Happy to help. I very much want to make this a standard in new reanim and weapon mods. It takes almost no time and solves a fairly sizable annoyance of mine.

[rigid sail]

I should probably go back and test that, then. I did patch the unjam animations as well, without a specific name, but couldn't find a quick way to test it like the standard reloads, so just assumed that if the reloads worked, the unjams did too.

[river fjord]

many people have been doing it for a year+, it is standard for the more feature complete sets, adding motion marks are really nothing new unfortunately tho most people just reference BaS for their shit when theyre learning which is terrible, bas is some of the laziest garbage around

[river fjord]

you can set your weapon condition with like db.actor:active_item():set_condition(0.1) for 10% condition or any other number in the brackets at the end and then shooting will just trigger a jam frequently

[rigid sail]

Thanks for the tip. I'll go back through when I have time. Though it's not nearly as big of an issue as the reloads, as most are quick and pretty rare in standard GAMMA gameplay.

[regal bolt]

So nobody's gonna fix the thumper (FL40 UBGL) on DX8?

[river fjord]

if its only broken on dx8 then its probably just a texture compression issue. bc7 compression wont work on dx8 which is why you should use bc3/dxt5 for stalker textures

[graceful sluice]

Can someone help me add my own model as outfit?

[upbeat sun]

Like the website, ive never heard of this

[static nebula]

sus, but my antivirus didn't immediately explode if that's any reassurance

[upbeat sun]

What antivirus you use? dont tell me its malwarebytes or something

[static nebula]

malwarebytes

or something

[upbeat sun]

Fair enough

do I want EFT repo that bad

i dont know that i do

[static nebula]

could always just make your own reposition

[upbeat sun]

id love to honestly. not familiar with any of the modding tools or where to find the right files for stuff without searching thru ltx's for hours to find one value

is it as easy as just setting the coordinates or is it like a per weapon thing?

[static nebula]

its kind of time consuming, it's easier for weapons with just 1 or 2 sights but you have to redo the position for each sight that a weapon has

[upbeat sun]

ive got plenty time. say like for the L86, im guessing id have to find the wpn_whatever and then just toy with it until it feels right in game?

ah by every sight that means every possible optic not just the irons

[static nebula]

there's an ingame editor, so you would mess with ingame until it looks good, and then export those values into an LTX file and set it up to work with DLTX, and it should work fine
or you could also just modify the original LTX files since it's easier but it might cause weirdness

there's a mod called "draggable hud editor" that makes it a tad easier

[upbeat sun]

do you know of a youtube video or writeup that details how to setup DLTX to streamline the process some? this is my first run at modding anything short of shaders. ill grab that hud editor mod tho

[static nebula]

it shouldn't be too tough, i might get something wrong though
pretty much you name your .LTX file "mod_system_name of your mod", and have it under gamedata\configs\ . inside your ltx file, you take the name of the original section in the original LTX file, and put an exclamation mark(!) before it, and just put all the positions inside their respective section.
so if I'm trying to modify "hands_position" from the "wpn_saiga12s_m1_okp_hud" section, I would put "![wpn_saiga12s_m1_okp_hud]", and then the position below that. hopefully I'm making sense, I'm not the best at explaining stuff lol

[upbeat sun]

it does make sense, thank you for explaining. worst part is translating sentences to file paths but its a easy logic hurdle to hop. does the ! basically tell the ltx file "hey overwrite the previous value and use the ones after the ! instead"

[static nebula]

pretty much! you can also use it to kind of "remove" values like I did here, I had the shell ejections animated on the model so I used it to remove the particle effects typically used for shell ejections

[upbeat sun]

awesome, always helps to understand the syntax lol

really appreciate you taking the time to answer noob questions, thank you

[static nebula]

no worries, I'm still a pretty big noob myself if I'm being honest lol

Is there PiP scope mod compatible with GAMMA ? I like using scopes but I always resort to a different optic in Gamma because I like the awareness I have with a red dot or something but I have used other modpacks that utilize PiP scopes which I love due to the realism aspect essentially

[static nebula]

I know new levels requires a new game to work properly

[celest forge]

Nope, PiP is horribly optimized and cuts your performance in half

[atomic blade]

So is that all or will it also crash it because I know that it cuts performance in half when punched into the optic which I have seen some instances where it runs OK but if it will crash it then I won't do it

[celest forge]

Just too poorly optimized for anyone to have a full integration

[red tree]

What's the specific mod that adds the separate music playlists into Gamma? Installed Anomaly Radios Extended for my own build but it didn't have the playlists available in the bottom of the player.

Like TRX Special and so on for example

[dark leaf]

Does anyone know if there are any mods that give the HUD a background so I can actually see my health and ammo counter in bright areas? Or does anyone know which files I would need to edit to create this myself? Wouldn't mind adding a background around the minimap as well for readability. The basic Anomaly HUD, which not the nicest to look at, was readable in all scenarios (most games' HUDs are designed for visibility at all times).
EDIT: Never mind. I found the files and did it myself.

[craggy cargo]

Does anyone have a recommendation for adding a delay into a script? Specifically, I'd like to delay the "Connection lost" message that comes at the start of an emission/psy-storm, lets say by 30 seconds. I think I want to do something around line 1087 in dynamic_news_manager.script (from Dialogues Expanded, see code), which seems to be where the message comes from.

[fossil birch]

What am I missing about dltx-ing weapon sounds? This way doesn't seem to make a difference but I can't think of any other way to reference the sound location. Am I indeed referencing the sounds wrong or does this way just not work full stop?

[craggy cargo]

Looks like it might be this:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/pda-radio-extended

[celest forge]

That one of my guns, I manage my gun sounds with DLTX, if you want a DLTX file to overwrite mine, you need to put Zs in the name first

Because DLTX orders files alphabetically

So mod_system_zzzzzzzzzzzamdsounds or something like that should work

[fossil birch]

ah okay awesome, I'll give that a try

[upbeat sun]

Thank you mate. : )

[hushed tundra]

Would it be hard to create magazine modification that works just like adding scopes/silencers. I'm not talking about mags redux. I want only to change visual look of magazines and amount of bullets loaded per reload (not adding single instances of magazines to manage)

Are you planning on redoing the HUD view of the saigas ? I can probably do it today and send you the dltx values so you can integrate them

Hey I was previously asking about disabling foggy weather, if anyone else wants to do it edit 'dynamic_weather_graphs.ltx' just comment out the weather types you don't want.
Here's a test file for only clear weather.

[static nebula]

oh, if you don't mind me using them then sure @undone lily

great heavens i sure hope this new "!saiga" command is no fault of my own

[potent tinsel]

Btw guys, anyone know how to re-enable hand picking animation mod ?

[teal plume]

Hey, someone tip me please on how do i spawn a helicopter through console/debug?

[slow bolt]

disabled gamma reliable aimations settings and enable pickup anims in mcm

then enjoy busyhands

[potent tinsel]

mcm = in game settings right ?

[ebon pulsar]

guys, a question, I have the whole English text translated into German and made a German folder, the question is now, how do I "convert" this to a mod?

I'll be honest, I'm stumped, I'll send in the translation, maybe someone can get it right

[static nebula]

you should just be able to create a new mod, and put the files under (ModFolder)\gamedata\configs\text\ger or whatnot

[ebon pulsar]

Yes, but it still doesn't work.

[slow bolt]

It is called mcm. Mod configuration menu. Its settings for mods.
Go to Support channel

[soft burrow]

any tips on making a script run only in the first few seconds of a new game?

[regal bolt]

How hard would it be to allow a gun a certain scope?

[fossil birch]

I assume you mean you want a gun to use a new scope that it doesn't already have the option for, if that's the case you have to make an entirely new model for the gun with the scope you want in blender and add a new section in an .ltx file. The game technically treats each different sight on a weapon as a new gun entirely, which is why you have to go through this whole process. There are tutorials somewhere on youtube if you're committed to doing this though

[celest forge]

Aka kinda hard if you're new to modding

not super hard if you're used to the process

[regal bolt]

Oh

Aren't there like a prebuilt models for the gun and scope separately? If not then cannot the stock gun be used as the base model with the scope being modelled on top of it? Or maybe put both models into one file? (Just asking)

[celest forge]

The way I do it to add BaS scopes to my guns is took every single gun with the scopes, separated the scopes from the guns and put all of the scopes in a single blender project

and when i want to put them, I load the base model, add each scope and export

[regal bolt]

Oh

Well... How hard would be putting EOTS-62 (Gauss scope) on the FN F2000?

Considering I have no models

[regal bolt]

Anyone made a Inertia mod for beef's nvg yet?

(i know oxrg has one but its not for anomaly)

[atomic cloud]

so ive been messing with trying to mod the game, what is the file name for corden?

[slow bolt]

escape

l01_escape pretty sure is the full map name

[atomic cloud]

oh tysm

i have no clue what im doing

[arctic relic]

Hey lads, does anyone know what the hell XRay is referencing in the "player_hud_section" for outfits/hand models?
It's usually a "actor_hud_X" line but it's definitely not the .OGF mesh name.
How do I find what this line is referencing? Or how do I find the specific "actor_hud_X" path inside the .OGF?
I want to make an outfit use a specific hand .OGF but I'm not sure how to find the correct name.

[celest forge]

those are in the configs>creatures>actor_hud_hand_animations.ltx file

That's where the ogf arms meshes get defined

@arctic relic

[arctic relic]

You're an absolute G, thanks a million dude 🙏

[celest forge]

Sure thing

[torn vault]

does hitting f5 in debug menu refresh dltx mods, too?

[celest forge]

Just a heads up, as i made an armor mod just a week ago, it's tought and the game has some very lame limitations as what you can do when adding new armor

[celest forge]

Yes, all LTX files

[torn vault]

i did that but it didn't seem to have worked, had to restart instead

i added this to one of my dltx files:

![wpn_mp7_c-more]
slot = 1

..but it took a game restart to apply, f5 wasn't enough

[celest forge]

That's odd

0 + f5 should've done it

[vague sphinx]

@keen valve Has your Progressive Factions Relations in PDA addon been removed or something ? I can't find it anywhere

[keen valve]

no it’s still where i put it 😉 https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/show-all-faction-relation-in-pda-except-monolith/

[vague sphinx]

Ah, I think the search bar is picky because I tried the keyword PDA but it didn't show it in the results

Thank you, I'm currently merging it with the GAMMA Style UI Rework, but I got curious and searched it to no avail x)

[keen valve]

You’re welcome ^^

[vague sphinx]

I have a question, ever since your recent updates, the pda_relations_16 has been replaced with pda_relations_f9/f10/f11/f12/f13/f14, do I need to match the values in all of these files with the ones I have in my pda_relations_16 xml for it to display properly in the custom ui ?

Or can I just reedit my pda_relations_16 with extra sections like how it could be merged in v4?

[craggy folio]

I wanna make a STALKER inspired game in C++?
What are some core stalker features?

[static nebula]

now that i think about it the original stalker games were pretty barebones lol
i guess mutants, anomalies, artifacts, things of that sort

[craggy folio]

Going for ultra real mechanics but retro graphics.

[silver shadow]

Wondering if anybody has info on mod(s) that add more trees to levels

Or, alternatively, how to use a level editor to achieve just that

[keen valve]

it requires each of those files as the table sizes are basically drawn in there and the code selects the appropriate one depending on the number of factions that need to be displayed

[keen valve]

no need, my code does not use it anymore

[celest forge]

Then it's GAMMA inspired, not really STALKER in general

[craggy folio]

Yea.

[fading gyro]

I tried to install GAMMA Enhanced GUI, but it doesnt show up on MO, installed EXT and everything, could someone help me? Sorry for the disturbance

[ruby fiber]

hey yall, trying to use this#🤖new-anomaly-mods-on-moddb message reanimation mod but it is also replacing the firing sound with what seems to be an older lower quality one. How can i keep the default gamma sv-98 sound with this reanimation?

[static nebula]

assuming the file name of the sound is the same as the original, just delete the new one
if the name of the new sound is different then you'll probably have to specify in the config for it to use the old one

[ruby fiber]

see there doesn’t seem to be a new sound file in the sounds folder of the mod

there are folders for both the sv98 and trg42 in the mod, the trg has a firing sound file in its sounds folder which is the same sound but the sv98’s only has reload sounds

[static nebula]

that's weird, the .ltx points to these sounds in the "lib_mmb_sounds" config

i think

wait a min

what the hell is going on with these sounds
i have no idea how this works lol

yeah im just as confused as you are

[ruby fiber]

LMAO that’s okay

[river fjord]

no it doesnt, you need to hit Num0 to refresh the ltx configs, f5 just reloads the game after you do so.

[regal bolt]

1. Any helpers or shader modders avaliable atm? If so ten please ping me. Thank you.

2. Why is this message #🔨modded-gamma-support message pinned xD

[celest forge]

Well these are not vanilla

which gamma replaces with Dark Signal

[slow bolt]

2. Because it is amazing

[regal bolt]

Fair

[fossil birch]

is there a way to suggest a range for a start time? Trying to update one of my mods to include some more features and this one is stumping me

say I wanted a start time from 10pm to 2am instead of one static time you start at

[regal bolt]

Anyone here who uses companion mods/knows a bit about dltx's?

If so then I need to know one thing. If I get two mods and both overwrite the same file, but one includes a separate file as a fix, do I load the one mod with the fix first, then the second and lastly put the fix on top of these, or the other way around with the first two?

[meager steppe]

is it possible to change stats of guns by editing mod files? how do I search up a specific gun?

I did open the w_ak12 ltx it has ammo elapsed and mag size both at 30 i need it at 45

[celest forge]

Then change those numbers to 45 and save

should do the trick

[regal bolt]

Anyone?

[meager steppe]

Yeah that fixed it didn't change through that file so I changed every ak12 one I'm utterly clueless

[torn lava]

Hey small question, what is the mod that adds the Kriss Vector gun to the game? I am trying to modify the ltx file so I can put it in the melee slot

[meager steppe]

w_kriss_vector.ltx in 271- G.A.M.M.A. Large Files - GAMMA Team\gamedata\configs\items\weapons@torn lava

[torn lava]

Thank you!! I've been searching for it for a while, hopefully I can make it single handed now

[meager steppe]

[brave tartan]

anyone knows which xml file indicated 2D pda texture size and interactive UI size/placement

[teal plume]

Hey, is there a way to disable passive decrease of radiation that is already gained by player? Radiation decrease without medications is a blasphemy

[brave tartan]

need some help how do I update my alpha chanel with the texture changes I do?

if I leave it as is then it adds white background

[torn vault]

@brave tartan assuming you use gimp, rightclick the layer and click "add alpha channel", then fill the unneeded bits with transparency (select with the rectangle select tool, then cut with the Del key)

[brave tartan]

Im not. but I got it sorted eventually

[brave tartan]

did some light hip face texturing as it looked like a doll isntead of skin xD

[brave tartan]

looks much better in game. if someone using KVMAS and wants the face ping me will share.

[fickle spoke]

I have an early testversion of a totally new animated main menu for Stalker Gamma in high rez in 21:9 resolution and 4k (1K and other aspect ratios will follow). Is anyone here who would like to test it on their 21:9 4K screens and give me feedback about bugs etc?

[warm condor]

Im trying to do something just like this with the campfires, did we end up finding a solution to this?

[tender marsh]

due to how zzz player injuries is coded, the regen variables cannot be accessed by other scripts, you have to manually overwrite the playerinjuries script with get/setters to make it accessible, which cause some issues.

[warm condor]

do you think i could just add a campfire regen effect to the base health through the ZZZ_player script and just add the proper local names for the limbs one by one

it would bemessy as fuck, but it might work?

[warm condor]

also, fucking legend, responding to an over 1 year old post with info.

[tender marsh]

all the health related variables are local to the script, and will require overwritting

[warm condor]

im gonna try anyway and see what happens :>

[craggy cargo]

I haven't tried changing it myself, but gamedata\configs\mod_system_radiation_recovery_GAMMA.ltx from "G.A.M.M.A. Radiation Effects Overhaul" is a two line file, one of which is: radiation_v = 0.000000015 ;скорость уменьшения радиации. The cyrillic translates to something like "the rate of radiation reduction", so that seems like a good place to start.

[peak quest]

what ltx file messes with the damage values of certain calibres

.338 lapua specifically

because for some reason in gamma 338 does fucking nothing

im starting to think it does less damage than 7.62x54

[warm condor]

would be the GBOOBS w_ammo_bas.ltx, no?

[peak quest]

oh

then yeah

[warm condor]

might be looking to boost the K_ variables in there.

unsure though, ive not fiddled with ammo.

[peak quest]

just want it to hit harder is that k_impulse

hmm

idk why 338 lapua is so lackluster

[warm condor]

no clue

[peak quest]

gotcha

idk about 338 federal though ive never used that bullet

[warm condor]

maybe a diff mod then...

[peak quest]

lapua is actually base game

GBOOBS weapon_ammo

[warm condor]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[peak quest]

changed k_hit from 1.40 to 2.50

[warm condor]

very well

[peak quest]

tired of having bullets that cost 1000 roubles each stunlock unarmored stalkers in the case you dont shoot their noggin

we will see if problem is solved

i will

[slow bolt]

There arleady is a mod for that

in #1035807043933720576

[edgy crow]

Does anyone know the codec that the .ltx files use?

I am trying to make programmatic changes to .ltx files using python, but I am getting a UnicodeDecodeError when trying to read them. This is using both the built-in open() and codecs.open( ... , encoding='utf-8') methods.

Interestingly, the error does not get thrown when I was debugging earlier in an IPynb console (via Spyder).

Here's the error:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 764: invalid continuation byte

[steady apex]

The most popular choices of encodings are utf, ansi, windows 1252 and windows 1251

Determine the encoding of a file before opening it in your script

[prisma veldt]

hey, i've asked a few times in newbie chat, i'm looking for the base gamma item icons in .png format so i can make a chart/reference diagram. i've looked through the game files and have only found the maids icons. can anyone send me to where i can find them?

[craggy cargo]

I have no experience with this, but based on the Anomaly Modding Book - Inventory Icons page 1, and a bit of looking around in the filesystem, I think the following are true:

• Most of the inventory icons are in gamedata\textures\ui\ui_icon_equipment.dds. I guess modded items (or vanilla) could also come from other .dds files.
• The way that in-game items are associated with icons is defined in the (many) relevant .ltx files, specifically inv_grid_* variables.
• If you want icons as individual pngs, you will have to extract them from the .dds files, which could be done manually, or by writing a script to read the .ltx files and extract the relevant parts of the .dds files.

[sick canyon]

Does the GUI_on_hide callback affect every HUD element on screen?
If so is it possible so that only the stamina, health, and psybars are affected?

[sinful pawn]

so how does one make a new mask overlay work in navs masks mod

Nope, nobody ever did

Unfortunate

Hello, trying to mute sound of mutant launching phantom attack by replacing ogg with mute one, but unable to find corresponding ogg file, tip me please

[slow bolt]

Its good

Imo put the gun lower off screen

but its imo

[static nebula]

hopefully this is better

(this is at the high point of the loop btw)

not sure if i should go though the effort of having the original untweaked models as an option, the comically large laser looks awful but i know there's gonna be 1 or 2 people out there who really want it lol
also the original laser model is made up of 10k faces for some ungodly reason, which is as almost much as the entire rest of the model combined

[fossil birch]

you could potentially steal a smaller laser unit off a different model, keeps the functionality without looking like you've got a brick strapped to the side of it

[static nebula]

that's what i've done here, before it had the rather huge anpeq 2 or whatever it is

[static nebula]

whichever one this is is about the smallest i could find

[stray dove]

I wonder if you guys even model the weapon innard

[static nebula]

i think most people use models made by someone else, so it's kinda dependent on the modeller
some people/games do (tarkov especially, they model just about every pin and spring) but some others are basically just whats visible from the outside

[celest forge]

I don't know basically anyone who models and rigs guns

It's one or the other

Unless you want something horribly specific, it's not worth it

[steep harbor]

Idk if anyone has suggested this or anything (Im just a Lerker who plays) But has anyone thought/made a mod for the PDA to allow you to see about having companions join you? Or like a companion guild board? I know its part of the game and all, but going around looking for specific companions to see if they would join you is very frustrating and time consuming

[fossil birch]

afaik the only reason Tarkov renders gun internals is you're able to run most guns with parts stripped off, or the dust covers missing, for 90% of other games though it's just wasted geometry

[slow bolt]

That is item's section name

Open debug and you can see section names for items

the save options have changed from the guide book it seems

do i enable the diffusion dithering? it doesnt tell me in the guide

[nocturne crest]

a little more help would be nice

there is 0 info on how to fix the box around the scopes edge soo idk what to do now

anyone elsee care to help?

[jade oxide]

u obviously don't nee mipmap for such texture, purely used by the actor (you)

usually when some checkbox aren't ticked you should not change it, unless if you know what to do or if tutorials told you to change them

what I suggest is that you try to export parameters by default and it should be good already.

If you have bad results i cannot help you because i don't use (seems like paint.net ?) to export DDS textures...
I use photoshop CS6 and I follow LUNATIC COMPREHENSIVE MODDING TUTORIAL

so you're presenting us something happening in your pre-export menu, but what is happening in game do you actuallly have an issue ?
I suggest you go on photoshop CS6 where i could help like, like many other people, EXCEPT if someone doing the same process also uses PAINT;NET (and please help him)

[verbal yarrow]

how hard would it be to write a script to do dynamic seasons transitions i mean seen so many grass and tree texture packs and talented modders im surprised no one has done it yet

[stray dove]

pretty sure you need LUA basic knowledge

and some random algorithm works

I got some basic coding knowledge I just don't know LUA syntax and X-ray engine library

but it shouldn't be too hard, just time consuming and optimization works

also dynamic seasons seem to require a lot of texture work too so it feels like it's not gonna be a one-person job

tbh im kinda surprised you guys able to figure out a way to modding this game

my gold fish brain can't

[verbal yarrow]

well i now in my mind how i would have it work the textures are already out there jest down load favorite season pack and drop it in i would just need the script first you would select the month you start the game and as time passes in game so will the seasons

[hardy hound]

https://tenor.com/view/just-house-totally-duh-gif-23663188

[verbal yarrow]

and there is a texture pack for grass and trees already that you can miss and match in gamma already i think you would just have to download the a winter mod and you could have npcs change to the winter armor textures from another mod

[jade oxide]

there are tutorials for LUA
now when it comes to (stalker) scripting, some functions are explained, either in scripts themselves, either on some GIT guides... but maybe regular daily basis scripters can help you more finding what are main LUA functions & paremeters... 🤷

[stray dove]

I c i c

[jade oxide]

a good place to start is anomaly discord

i mean I guess . I don't go there, i have to many enemies XD

[verbal yarrow]

and i think the transition would be easy to pull off you sleep or change zones on a given day would trigger the season starting with the grass a week or so then the trees . The beginning of spring and winter would be the hardest to do cause you have snow , grass, trees and the winter armor change

[verbal yarrow]

forgot daylight as well in winter nights are longer in summer days are longer.... Could instead of choosing the season you start use difficulty as the trigger for the starting season ie winter the hardest could also factor scarcer resources over winter food wise.

[stray dove]

you might have to use time clock library I guess

pretty sure in term of LUA there's like a time count function that count since 1970s ish

last time I tried to do that in Roblox LUA

[haughty egret]

does anyone knows what is the file name that the iwi ace 52 uses in gama? I wanted to check the LTX to know what the actual base value of the recoil is

[limber meadow]

I can see the Beef's and the guy who made red dot's haven't discussed this issue since last year - some of the dots are almost inexistent

[stray dove]

I think it's too much blur in that mod ngl

[static nebula]

should be possible to adjust it in the files if you like

[old granite]

do we have mod that allows task respawn manipulation? like allowing me to have tasks respawn every 5 minutes

[brave tartan]

Anyone knows what folder 3D pda comes from? Is it only in original anomaly or some gamma mod adds the textures and animation?

[limber meadow]

It's not even enough to compare to real nods. In this mod you can still aim with iron sights in real lice I cannot see shit even with tritium ones

Although my problem is only some dots are visible alright. Others are completely dark or too bright. Like eotech (the best nightvision sight in the real life) in game is a huge white blob which cannot be used at all.

[stray dove]

I don't remember my AN/PVS 14 to be that blurry

I just can't see depth of field

The first lvl nvg supposed to mimic 7 with like omni 3

Or katod from 90s

Anyone knows what folder 3D pda comes from? Is it only in original anomaly or some gamma mod adds the textures and animation?

[slow bolt]

Its vanilla

Its been 3D for a while

[brave tartan]

Oh, maybe u know how their textures called specifically. I know where is 2D one located so I guess its in the same spot

Wonder if its 4k or now want to retexture it and would be much easier that way xD

[slow bolt]

Should not be hard to find. Texture would be mentioned in its ogf file

[hexed ember]

where can i find info on creating new ammo types for anomaly??

[brave tartan]

If only I knew what and where that ogf is but will try to look for it

[slow bolt]

Probably gotta unpack the files

Dont think its changed in gamma

Kk think its then in ui folder I think

[red tree]

oh i just seen haha. so ur still looking for the 3d one or u got it now?

[brave tartan]

its in the same folder, I just got home so will check for it. I made re-skin for 2D now want do same style 3D

and then improve them when I find out how to edit xml files properly to insrease texture size to 4k

[red tree]

can i see ? did you put that skin on Hip also ?

#1143233268595044493 message

[brave tartan]

nah, shared it only with Norfair as he asked and showed it in the nrofair reshade

and hip, nah it is what came from KVMAS I did skin retexture

from pack it is very gloss and clean as if its barbie doll 😄

so I added skin spores

[red tree]

yeh the neck shines, so you dunnno if that works or improves it yet ?

[brave tartan]

skin is texturiezed now. in game looks better, not perfect ofc Im not texture master but much better imho

dont have time to go through all the other characters too but might do it later on

[red tree]

did you take a shot of ingame by any chance comparing before and after?

[brave tartan]

nope actually

I can sent u the dds file ucan check for yourself

its nto BIG change but I noticed it

[red tree]

if it gets rid of the shining neck im happy

aydins grass poking through the roof of bar. never noticed this before. is it a map issue ?

[regal bolt]

what mod do i havo to disable to sell weapons?

[grizzled gorge]

when you've drunk so much vodka that the only thing you can see is the ceiling

[marsh flicker]

What is the name of the file that contains backpack stats? I remember it as (something)Backpack.ltx, but can't seem to find it in the game files

[hearty plinth]

Guys how can i make semi-auto guns full-auto, cuz i wana make the remastered SR-25 full auto

[static nebula]

I assume it's "fire_modes" in the config, not sure what the numbers correspond to but if i had to guess 1 is semi and -1 is full auto

so "1, -1" would give it both semi and auto, just 1 would be just semi and vice versa

[hearty plinth]

Oke

@heady fiber How to properly enable and disable Mags Redux (adds magazine management): #╭📖faq message

[brave tartan]

enough for today, little by little gonna do it all then will do corrections 😄

[static nebula]

cant tell if this anim is actually good or if i've just stared at it for so long that my mind has convinced me it is

[slow bolt]

its good

[static nebula]

should i make the inspect animation more in depth, or should i just have it look over the gun for a few seconds 🤔 i wonder if having a super flashy inspect playing all the time would get old and annoying real fast lol

[slow bolt]

Long is great, but you only see it sometimes when you want to

ngl would be good to reuse one if you got any

[celest forge]

Are you reanimating just BaS guns?

[static nebula]

for the most part yeah, although im not opposed to reanimating other stuff, but it seems like everything else either uses BaS anims, blindside anims or a custom anim set lol

[teal plume]

Someone please tip me on how to disable colored backgrounds of gun and armor parts just like in original Anomaly

[celest forge]

Just wondering since most BaS guns have already great anims

[static nebula]

eh, i can go either way with BaS
some of them are nice, but some of them are either really jank or ripped from elsewhere, and they often reuse the empty reload for the unjam which is awful lol

but yeah the only other things i could think of to reanimate are vanilla weapons but i'm not sure how many of them are even included in gamma, and 90% of them have already seen a remodel/reanimation anyways

[celest forge]

I mean you don't have to do it for gamma exclusively

[static nebula]

true, but im a gamma player, so i prefer to make an animation set that i can get some use out of if im going to go through the trouble of xray lol

[peak quest]

anyone know the trade ltx where it lists nvgs?

[static nebula]

boring payday 2 style inspect anim, would have done something more interesting but i figure if i dont finish the anims today it would be another 2 weeks until my motivation showed back up lol

now just cams, audio, and export

[slow bolt]

nice

Its good as well, you can see almost everything

[regal bolt]

Where in the ltx file controls a weapon's recoil?

[hybrid forum]

I wonder if there is any way to create a mod that allows you to create cursed guns. Like putting weird attachments on guns which shouldn't accept them, or barrels on the wrong guns, or underbarrel grenade launchers on pistols. Something like that. I don't really understand the parts system even after looking through some of the weapon files

[slow bolt]

no

that is the simple answer

[hybrid forum]

RIP

[static nebula]

you could create weapons like that as their own mod, but a mod that would let you make them as you wish is probably not possible

[celest forge]

Desolation, but more than a mod it's a different version of anomaly

So it's not compatible with gamma

[shy junco]

ok, so im trying to get DX8 masks in dx11

its not working

im using this script, which only changes 1 line of code

[turbid lily]

other than the bhs related mods, what other mods mess about with medical items?

[graceful sluice]

From what mod this SVU?

[hexed ember]

how can i make an ammo type fully craftable?

well i have it craftable

but its not using using gunpowder and shells ect.

i just copied what i saw for another ammo in the craft.ltx section

[prime marsh]

Hey Brothers, i wanna Buff a few Weapons what exactly do i have to change to make the Weapon do more damage ? i found Hit Impulse and Hit Power but i am not sure if thats what i am Looking for.

[slow bolt]

IIRC first one is how much "power" it has, aka how hard will it punch the ragdoll. The second one is the damage

You can test relatively quickly to check that or wait for someone who can tell you for sure

[prime marsh]

I was trying to Buff the Mosin and ingame it has Damage 50 but Hit Power is like
hit_power = 0.9, 0.9, 0.9, 0.9

[prime marsh]

Yeah but kinda afraid i will mess it up and ruin my Game xD but thanks

[slow bolt]

It wont if you back up the file(s) you change

[upbeat sun]

Are wpn and ammo damage values stored in their individual ltx files?

[simple scaffold]

I solved this years ago for grok. is groks masks not part of gamma?

in this: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/groks-4k-and-reflections-for-navs-mask-v12

[static nebula]

would it be a sin to use MW22 audio for weapons

[hard fiber]

alright, since newbie chat is ignoring me, I will ask here. Sorry for intruding with a potential off-topic. Do you guys know how I could make story mode's A-life system more dynamic? So far my experience when playing story mode is that AI pretty much does not do anything. Example: Start as solder in cordon -> clear rookie camp -> stalkers respawn. But on the other hand warfare is broken and unimmersive :/ I don't want to lead a faction, I just want for AI to do something in the game.

do you recon they do something, I've just not seen it or what?

[simple scaffold]

they do, but the locations given factions squads can spawn and where they can attack is more restricted so they tend not to spread as far. monolith squads have to spawn in the north they won't make it south of army warehouses very often and even if they so survive in AW they can only target a very few areas south of there. i forget which.

aditionaly where squads can spawn and target is restricted by the state of teh main quest. if the brain scorcher is active you see way less CS in the north. once you shut down the miricle machine mercs move into that zone.

Sin basicly won't spawn, except the quest givers in that redforest cave, until thier quests are active.

[shy junco]

it was a mod called

"no mask textures*

I JSUT had to turn that kff

[simple scaffold]

ok. well try the mod i linked. it should do what you want. Or if you really want the base game masks you can use the script to see what the actual change to make them load on dx8 is.

[shy junco]

I know....

lmao

[simple scaffold]

srry. spent part of the day helping someone that wanted to edit the core anomaly db files to adjust a hud and another guyt htat manage to lose MCM somehow. I the reastating the obvius starts to bleed over

[peak quest]

anyone know where to find the file for aslans lottery outcomes

me want to add guns

and maybe other things

well shit nvm

i am out of my depth here

theres a couple guns you can get though

[river holly]

Hi all, quick question, does anyone know what file is responsible for the PSY health bar in Groks BHS, ive edited every file called BarPSY i can see but none of them change it (none of them have the little white pips in anyway)

[narrow stirrup]

Hey this is the anim_list from fdda, i'm trying to figure how the textures get related to the animation cause i can't find any info about textures direction on the ltx files, are those textures attached on the blender directly?

[simple scaffold]

Unless gamma has modified it then it's a function in one of the dialog scripts I believe.

[simple scaffold]

Textures are attached in the model file. If you can't edit the texture file to get the effect you want then you need to edit the model file.

Such a great system adding a custom gun with a custom skin requires a new model file, causes a lot of bloat.

[karmic kelp]

is their a quick place where i can know wich file i shall add my modds in?

[simple scaffold]

You are making a mod?

[karmic kelp]

no just installing one

but i found it i think it with the MO?

[simple scaffold]

MO2 has a button to install mods from a zip file.

[narrow stirrup]

Thanks for the explanation Raven

[weary ledge]

good evening everybody,
does anyone have a link for a documentation on using the trader inject script
(I just want to know how to add custom items to loadouts and traders)
Ive had a glance at bvcx Toxic Air mod, since I know it adds the gasmasks
and I think I get the general idea.
I would still like to look up what I can actually do with it.
much love

[weary ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/ojas-rn-angry-eating-funny-gif-26828688

nvm found it on arti's git
couldve just checked the damn script

[static nebula]

basically done but im tired and it's late, to export and whatnot is for another day

would have had it done like 2 days ago but i couldn't find a good source of audio until now lol

[slow bolt]

sexy

[rigid sail]

Looks great. You figure out the motion marking? Happy to help with that. Every modder who does it on their own is one less mod I have to patch.

[static nebula]

Kinda, the process seems simple enough and I patched my Saiga but I never did confirm whether or not it actually changed ingame, lol. I plan to add them to these though, hopefully they work properly 🙏

Btw, do motion marks apply to any animation or just reloads/unjams? I wonder if I might add one to the draw animation

[rigid sail]

AFAIK, it only affects reloads and unjam animations, but it may need specific names for the unjams. Never got around to testing that, I was planning on doing it with the next update when I was doublechecking the new additions too.

[river fjord]

It does nothing for draw

[river fjord]

they can be used for a lot of things but needs scripting first, melee is the only thing in the game that requires them tho

[river fjord]

you could animate this strap clip maybe, would add a lot of flavor imo

[static nebula]

im not entirely opposed to it, but I'm not sure how that would work since i'd have to re-rig the weapon after i've already animated it lol

[river fjord]

adding a bone is not rerigging the gun, you just simply add the bone and parent that part of the mesh to it, simple as that
you shouldnt even need to key it once in any of the anims you dont want it to move for since omf export will do that for you

[severe coyote]

guys how to scroll up to top in any channel?

[balmy sand]

i want to make certain armors light instead of medium, and also certain guns to use dfferent repair kits. does anyone have an idea on how to do this??

If anyone knows how to edit which repair kit an item uses please let me know... Really think aku and some "medium" but really light armors should be able to be taken advantage of in the early game, the only time they are viable anyways.

[river fjord]

its the repair_type value in the main config section iirc

[static nebula]

hmm, ill have to mess around with it when i get home in that case, probably gonna make a backup incase i find a way to screw it up lol

[river fjord]

its super easy, can always ask too if you end up needing help. just target the armature in edit mode, Shift-D to duplicate one of your existing bones, move it to where that buckle is and change the name, add the vertex group and youre good to go

[static nebula]

so would i be editing the already animated weapon's rig and then copying the armature over to the models? 🤔

[river fjord]

huh? just click your armature and add the bone like I explained above

youre not creating a second model or doing anything with any other model or armature

[static nebula]

if im adding a new bone to the armature wouldn't i have to translate that change to all the other models? the sr2 has like 20+ different sights, and a model for each one lol

[river fjord]

are you really just animating on the original bones?

probably not worth it then, dont bother

I assumed youd rerig the model when you started your anims so youd be exporting new ogfs anyway

[static nebula]

with a modification or two, but for the most part yeah

[river fjord]

well if you made any modification to bone placement or count then you need to reexport all your models again anyway

so im confused what the issue is

[static nebula]

I did, I just figure that I'll have to go through the process of exporting them all again when adding a new bone?

[river fjord]

so wait, you modified the rig but then reexported all the models again before you actually reanimated it?

imo always wait until your done with animating to export models, you never know when you need to make changes or add things etc, its a bad practice

but yeah, if youd need to reexport everything again if you added that bone i suggested, then dont bother, i assumed youd be exporting models after you animate not before

[static nebula]

hmm, ill have to keep that in mind next time in that case

[river fjord]

definately export models after youre mainly done next time
dont bother with what i suggested for this one

the anims themselves tho look super smooth, great work!
the sounds are satisfying as well

[red tree]

k this is cool and all but why does it sound like a horse walking around lmao

[jagged radish]

how would I unpack a bd file to loose files? I wanna get the loose files for golden autumn redux so I can mix and match a bit

[slow bolt]

Just use the unpacker anomaly comes with

[jagged radish]

I can't figure out how to direct the files to it

[slow bolt]

Edit the .bat files coming with it

[jagged radish]

Ah, that makes sense, thanks!

[tepid fractal]

Can someone help me?
What settings should I use to save the build_details.dds ?
I think I tried everything but still have this

[fossil birch]

I've been saving mine as DXT5, but I believe DXT1 also works. What program are you using for editing them?

[tepid fractal]

Photoshop, saving via nvidia plugin.
Tried that already, with or without aplha, or mipmaps, still the same. No idea why, I don't have problems with editing other textures.

[soft burrow]

man today I had the idea of making a mod that shows the player's radiation poisoning in milliSieverts on top of the radiation HUD icon like the buffs in the HUD icon times mod. so I open that mod's script file to see how can I go about making it and I didn't understand crap

[marsh vapor]

Not for Stalker, but for other games, I've been using the intel DDS tools for Photoshop because I always had issues with the nvidia one, especially in the alpha channel.

https://gametechdev.github.io/Intel-Texture-Works-Plugin/

[random trout]

I wish someone would make a XM29 OICW weapon mod for stalker anomaly.

[static nebula]

weapon modding wizards, does anyone know how it's specified which .omf the hands use? I know the for the weapon itself it's just specified through motion refs in the .ogf, but I have no idea how the hands work

[celest forge]

Afaik it's not specified

As long as the motion names in the hands omf match the ones in the gun's LTX file it kinda knows it's there on the folder

[static nebula]

oh, so im gonna have to make all the corresponding motions have the same names? i usually give the weapon motions the suffix "_wpn" to keep organized, so it's like "syn_sr2_reload" for the hands and "syn_sr2_reload_wpn" for the weapon

OH nvm i get what you mean now, sorry lol

[river fjord]

Don't do that, keep names separated, I explained the proper way when I answered your question in anomaly discord

[static nebula]

im not sure how i came to this conclusion, i must have misread something here lol.

[wet grail]

im trying to make a m4 benelli mod but the vertex groups mentions a pump, do i need to do that vertex group even if the weapon itself doesnt have a pump ? (second pic im using the firebreath spas 12 as a reference)

[celest forge]

Nah, if your gun doesn't have a pump then just don't assign anything to that vertex group

[wet grail]

thanks

does it matter if theres like 3 different parts here and i put the vertex groups in different parts

[celest forge]

Wdym

[wet grail]

for example the shotgun low group has these parts

or would it better to just merge all of them in one group

and put the vertex groups in one object itself

[celest forge]

That's how vanilla guns are done, it's all one single mesh with all the different vertex groups inside of it

[wet grail]

then i probably need to redo all the uvmapping

[celest forge]

I don't think it would matter

I merge parts all the time if they go on the same bone

And separate by material at the end

[wet grail]

how do you separate the materials btw

[celest forge]

If each of your parts has a texture already assigned in blender and you join the objects now it's one object with several textures right

Go in edit mode, select all vertices, press P, "by material"

[static nebula]

you can have one bone affect multiple objects, i figure it doesn't matter too much

[willow ivy]

hey guys is there any way to change the reticles for BaS Scopes Extragavanza?

[wet grail]

try to ask @tacit surge

[willow ivy]

I did it already but thanks

[river fjord]

yes just change the texture path in the config files for the relevant guns to your new one

[wanton dawn]

I am in the process of creating new ammo types that should work with groks. once I have it all figured out and working, I will share it

[wet grail]

one question if i wanna save the progress i made already in blender which format do i save the files ?

just normal obj or fbx ?

or just save the project itself

[static nebula]

wdym?

[wet grail]

do i export it or save it normally

[static nebula]

if it's something you plan to do more work on, just save the project file
if you're exporting to the game it's gonna be .ogf

[wet grail]

[wanton dawn]

so far so good lads

added a single custom ammo, and gamma didn't crash

now, the ammo actually existing, that's another story

[fossil birch]

I believe you have to add it to NPC loadouts for it to spawn, or a craft recipe to be able to make it

[wanton dawn]

ah I see

you wouldn't happen to know how to do that by chance would you?

never mind, thank you

I see, theres a mod in gamma already called NPC loadout

i'll just edit that

with my new ammo

turns, out, I can't do it that way. So, I have to find a different NPC loadout file

that one is different

[fossil birch]

Yeah NPC loadouts are in a different spot, I'm not at my pc right now but if you still haven't worked it out in a few hours I'll lend a hand

[wanton dawn]

It's not an issue for me at the current moment. I'm more concerned with adding the item into the game and getting it functioning

maybe balance it a bit

and then I believe, I will have to mess around with some other mods, to make my ammo compatible with them. aka, mags redux

[eternal wharf]

How can I increase the carry weight of my companions? Feel free to ping with answer

[paper burrow]

Mod

[paper burrow]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/companion-carryweight-and-looting-rework
This mod will expand companion carry weight based on their inventory so you can give them backpacks and equipment

[slow solar]

this mod is already installed with gamma, but is disabled so not sure if it's safe, one will have to try to find out ^^

the mod is called 53- Companions carry weight tweak - sneaky in mo2, but it will probably break the game to be honest

[paper burrow]

I've had no problems or bugs at all with it

It lets you add about 40 carry weight to companions using backpacks etc

[fast lantern]

Gents got a quandry. Any way to make the companions not reload after every 5th shot?

Futher any way to tweak their accuracy beyond dirt?

They are... combat ineffective at best.

[random trout]

Would anyone be able to make a weapon mod for me? I have the model for it.

[river fjord]

is it something you modeled?

[eternal wharf]

I'm not sure where to put this, but yesterday I had this issue for several hours where there would show a stash marker on the map (the stash does not exist) and every once in a while, I would check my PDA and find that it had moved to the location of one of my companions. anyone ever heard of this issue? Neither of my companions are carrying quest items, and I can't find any posts about it online. If you have a solution or have heard of it happening before lemme know.

[static nebula]

i just got thinking, if I'm using DLTX to modify the animations of two seperate weapons (sr2_veresk and sr2_m1) can I just use one .ltx file?

im not sure why i never thought of that before lol

[celest forge]

You can, yeah

As long as you're overwriting the correct sections ofc

[static nebula]

great, thanks for confirming

[random trout]

no but the person who did doesn't care that I use it plus the asset itself is freeware techically, since it's an unused E3 beta weapon from HL2 that has been reskinned and overhauled

I simply need someone to properly port it into anomaly

[celest forge]

What is it

[random trout]

hl2 E3 beta XM29 OICW

fully overhauled with animations and textures

[river fjord]

I asked cause I dont mind helping other artists who just arnt familiar with stalker formats but im really not interested in free models people found online, porting a gun to anomaly is extremelyyyy easy tho, theres a ton of resources around as well
you could start with the modding book if you want to learn https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/

[celest forge]

porting animations to anomaly

Good luck

[river fjord]

thats also pretty easy but requires a lot of blender knowledge

[random trout]

Could I just replace the current animations with a generic stalker one?

[river fjord]

BaS is 80% ported anim sets from insurgency

[celest forge]

I know

[river fjord]

yep!

then why are you saying good luck? its litterally something anyone can do

[celest forge]

But they're like the only big project that did it and even they got fed up with retargeting and are using their own stuff now

The 3 animators I asked for help with retargets told me to just learn how to animate instead

[random trout]

idk a damn thing about modding but i'll try my best

i'd rather have someone more experienced do it

[celest forge]

We all start somewhere bud

With enough patience and help you can pull it off

You could also use an animation set that's already in stalker and tweak it to fit the model

Which is the more common practice

That's a bullpup so maybe the F2000 anims or the L85 ones could work with some minor tweaks

That scope looks like the BaS Gauss scope lol

[river fjord]

well unfortunately theres like 10 people a day that ask "hey I found this free model online, can someone add it?" this is a modding community of people that do this for fun and for free, we cant really just spend hours porting every free low quality asset someone downloads
theres a ton of anim sets you could use tho and adding the model itself is very easy

[random trout]

it's actually an xm8 reciever with an xm29 semi auto grenade launcher mounted on top of it so in game it would end up being the xm8 reload animation

[river fjord]

you dont want to use that animation, its dogshit, just use a higher quality bullpup anim set

well, its not dogshit i guess, it was fine for its time, as with the rest of the vanilla anims, theyve all got their charm for their time and i love them but theyre just veryyy dated for todays standards

[celest forge]

Oof, yeah right the GL

That would be the main issue, to make the GL also animated

I guess it does need it's own custom anim set

[random trout]

ironically the custom animation that the gun comes with the grenade launcher is non functional by default so it has no animation to begin with

it's just there for style

[celest forge]

Welp

[river fjord]

check out that modding book if you are interested in learning tho and blender has a ton of resources as well, you can start without a gl for now and just use any set really
you will have to read a bit maybe but its not bad especially if youre familiar with any 3d software
ill jsut link book again jsut incase https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/

[random trout]

I'm a little familiar with unity I learned how to port my own animations and models through it but shitty

I also know through unity how to replace textures as well as set up animations I ported for custom npc or avatars for vrchat

so I have a little bit of experience

[river fjord]

Vrc is where I started learning blender and other programs years ago too

[random trout]

@river fjord what if I paid you to add the weapon into stalker anomaly?

[river fjord]

I could look at it maybe, Im usually not a big fan of paid mods tho. its a hobby thing and especially if you dont own the assets as well
you can DM me with what files you have if you want

[covert skiff]

any update on the wind affected trees

also anyone know of a pine tree replacer

[stable compass]

Anybody know anything about Anomaly's dynamic music system

[covert skiff]

Currently working on a python application that helps you create a shortcut which includes the affinity option with a GUI based core selection. Currently looking like this. But file operations and such things require appropriate security measures and such so I will only release it if it's secure and also if it works on other machines, + i make a GitHub repo for it. (btw is it okay to post things like this here?)

[grizzled gorge]

That's cool, but it's not my server . Better wait @undone lily

[covert skiff]

Ok for a moment I thought I became a bandit XD

[grizzled gorge]

No worries xD

[tardy iron]

Dumb question but do ap_scale in damage.ltx still calculated for armor protection or its just some anomaly leftover?

[static nebula]

trying to replace SR2 anims, the hand animations just play at half speed and the weapon stays in one spot

the ogf/omf files look fine and i dont notice anything in the ltx

no errors, no crashes, not sure what's going on

[slow bolt]

Dltx edit somewhere maybe?

[static nebula]

wdym?

[slow bolt]

Reposition could be dont in DLTX, so tracking that particular file would be hard.
If i am very wrong - disregard

[random fulcrum]

use notepad++'s search in files function

just search ![wpn_...._hud]

[static nebula]

there's no reposition yet but the weapon model should still be animated, no? :/

[celest forge]

Yeah that's not a repo conflict

The gun should be attach to the hand

[undone lily]

Iirc you can edit that in MO2 directly

You need to edit an MO2 text file.

PM me I’ll explain it

[undone lily]

Make sure there’s no DLTX editing the values

[undone lily]

In my opinion this gun would need a custom set, because the bulbup is the grenade launcher

Like the top part is the GL but the low part is the rifle

[river fjord]

I convinced them in the end to just use it themselves as a long term learning project to figure out blender and porting sicne they didnt know much about either, I DMd them some resources

[undone lily]

Also I cannot fathom how big the thing will be, taking up half the screen

Yeah it’s the way to go for sure, I don’t think anyone loves the gun enough to make a custom set just for that one

[undone lily]

Ah, then you need to start learning animating

[stable compass]

Hey, I'm dipping my toes into very basic modding, does anyone know how to interact with the music player in .script files?

[willow ivy]

can someone help me increase prices of tools and weapon parts?

[regal bolt]

How about a mod that spawns the content of a stash/workbench only if you're 20 or less meters from it? (Could help with the lagspike in the middle of them map/at the edges)

[atomic sandal]

how exactly do i read a mod in vs studio

[stable compass]

It's Lua, in the bottom right you can click where it says "plaintext" you can add syntax highlighting

If you don't know Lua, idk how to help you cause idk either lol

Unless your trying to read a .db* file, you need to unpack that first. If it's a .script file then that is written in Lua

[atomic sandal]

how do i unpack it

cus its all weird symbols

[stable compass]

Yeah, that's a db file. Hold up, I'll find the guide I used

[atomic sandal]

im not making a mod just tryna find smth

[stable compass]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/forum/thread/some-tools-for-addon-creators

[atomic sandal]

ty

[stable compass]

That forum page has an unpacker & a repacker.

Cred to Droscoe on ModDB

Place both "convert_unpack" and "converter" in your Anomaly folder. Double-click the "converter" application and it will begin to unpack the db files.

Im writing this right now, and as I type it's unpacking everything. If you hadn't noticed, there are several db files it has to unpack, so be patient. It's taking a while to unpack everything. The console window that opens up will tell you what it has unpacked already, be patient, and it will let you know what its unpacking as it progresses.

It will create a folder called "unpacked". It will put all the unpacked db files in that. Good luck!

:)

[ornate spade]

anomaly should already have unpackers in the tools folder

[random fulcrum]

very cool bubble bobble man

[jagged radish]

I was using that but theres some crazy over the top distortion on the fire fx, downloaded the cinematic vfx alone and it doesn't have it

[random fulcrum]

hfx has the over the top effects

can try the minimal setting, despite being the lowend option, it's honestly the better looking one

[jagged radish]

the weird heat distortion yeah? how do I get rid of that lol

[random fulcrum]

like, dust clouds don't last literal 30+ seconds

what

ah literally all particle effects have that

how else do you see burners

[jagged radish]

nah its really strong on the merge, on the vfx one its not as bad

[random fulcrum]

the pussy ass cvfx small flame where the thing is

[jagged radish]

no I mean when its actuvated its like 10 metres wide

looks buggy as fuck

I'll show you one sec

[jagged radish]

how do I change this burner distortion to the one that comes stock with VFX?

its literally as wide as from that building to the tree, looks god damn awful lol

[hardy hound]

honestly, no idea, i made it months ago, and i don't even remember where to start from

[jagged radish]

ah damnit

no worries then

might just use hollywoodfx alone

[jagged radish]

is hollywoodfx compatible alone or should I still use that patch?

[hardy hound]

not sure

[jagged radish]

no worries, I'll check it out, thanks anyway 🙂

[random fulcrum]

you can use any particles pack iirc

the biggest strangehold was removed long ago when grok finally axed the head explosion shit by default

[jagged radish]

yeah just checked ands the only stuff that conflicts is gamma's own merge, no other patches etc, so works fine

Does anyone know of a mod to make the game a little more playable in third person? I like using third person for exploring/admiring my characters armor. But the player animations look so silly. Not sure if this is possible in the STALKER engine.. but if anyone knows of anything please @ me or send me a DM

[slow bolt]

Stalker wasn't made for 3rd person

[weary ledge]

did you edit the menu xml or did you edit a script? just curious.

[tidal ore]

Random question for all the modding gurus:
Is the basic/advanced/expert toolkit requirement for upgrading armors engine-level or script/config-level?

Was thinking about how interesting itd be if you could upgrade tier 3 on your light/medium armors if you found the red upgrade parts but not expert tools

[crude ledge]

All I did was replace the .ogg file and renamed that new file to the original

[surreal gust]

good terrain?

[weary ledge]

ive made this for myself but feel free to use it, its a script that allows you to change the name for the ogg file without editing menu mods, so you can use any main menu and rock your favorite track.
alternatively you can even make it dynamic
by changing some lines of the code

either it will only change when the menu is loaded, so if the soundtrack is over, tracks wont change they will only change on reload, or you can make it go hand in hand with an actual script that checks if there is music playing and if it is not, it will trigger the next random song.

I think there is scripts for this in the latest EnhancedGUI mod.

[old stone]

Do you guys now any mods that would fix the gamma ?

[weary ledge]

gamma in the sense of lighting?
you adjust that in the visual options

or is it broken in a way?

[surreal gust]

terrain looks small because sdk cant render it fully but its big

[weary ledge]

looks good imo, yeah sdk pictures dont do it justice 💯

[surreal gust]

pretty much every sdk

including source 2 if you use fullbright

i dont really care how the terrain looks

what i care is if it's actually good

[crude ledge]

I am looking for a mod where when I pause my game the music that is played from the main menu continues to play.

[slow solar]

if you mean pause with the big red 'PAUSE' text on the screen I don't think that's even possible (to have main menu music playint) but maybe

[crude ledge]

No. I mean the pause menu when you press escape key just like any other video game

Hello. I've just installed GAMMA and i'm trying to make the game look like this. Can anyone point me to the guides on where to find those mods shown in the video and how to install them?

[weary ledge]

should do the thing

ripped from dynamic menu music script

sadly no idea who made the initial script might have been Lauta_ro

Help!!!

I was trying to download Kvmas and Azetrix Model Merge

Anyone??

[fossil birch]

read the guide, it tells you which mods to disable to get it working

[wheat estuary]

I disabled all the mods there and it still didn't work

[fossil birch]

are you trying to load an old save? I believe KVMAS requires a new save only

[wheat estuary]

Ill try doing a new save

Okay

uhh

That worked

Thanks

[fossil birch]

no problem

[crude ledge]

I'll try it out. Where do I put the file?

[crude ledge]

I can help you out

[sweet gazelle]

Hello, i've managed to install the first one. Now I'm downloading the Ultimate Gun Pack and the rest.

[crude ledge]

What does the Ultimate Gun Pack do? I thought about installing that although I have heard some YouTubers state that it makes the game more difficult

[weary ledge]

just create a new mod and drop in in gamedata/scripts
load in mod organizer, loadorder position should not matter
you have to edit the file tho and set your personal .ogg

[crude ledge]

Okey dokey

[hybrid forum]

My brother in Allah, it is literally in the video.

[still zenith]

it just adds more guns. it makes the game harder in the sense that it'll take you longer to find a gun you want to use

also takes longer to do hip's quest to get a toz-194

[celest forge]

Also some guns are just straight up busted

UGP adds a couple of my guns which are upright just broken to be against

[winged pond]

can someone help? trying to add zone reality to gamma but finding the video confusing..

Hey Bros, is there a Chat to post Mod Ideas ? I have no Animation expierence and very basic Modding Expierence in General, anyway I would want to throw a in a Simple Mod (in Theory) into the ring maybe someone picks up on it.

[static nebula]

here is probably the best spot i guess

[regal bolt]

Do you think thermal imaging and IR flood illuminators would be possible in Monolith Xray engine?

[narrow coyote]

Like this? #1168998049113178122 message

[regal bolt]

Yeah. Just like that

Too bad I cannot use it in DX8, but it's cool it's possible

[prime marsh]

Alright I am just gonna shoot, tell me if that's very hard to implement.

Well first thing would be a decent walking animation. Like the slow Walk. If you look down you have a Typical Shooting stance, one foot pointing forward while the other rotated 45° which is fine if you have a Weapon out, but looks odd when you just stroll around Unarmed.
I noticed in "Gunslinger" the dude implemented a Nice looking walk animation, would it be possible to port that ? Like with permission and stuff.

Second is the Sprinting/Jogging animation also Unarmed looks silly, since they are literally no arms on your Torso lol. There I had the idea that maybe the Running with a Knife/Pistol animation could be repurposed ?

What do you guys think ?

[autumn pilot]

isnt there a slug mod for the starting shot gun? cant remember the name of it but has a mag size of two? think it was the Toz? or something

[river fjord]

the legs/body you see in the first place are not part of anomaly, its just a mod and a pretty scuffed one at that.
youll be hard-pressed to find someone you wants to animate stuff for a mod as niche as that imo, most people dont even use that visible body mod to begin with
the running with the knife anim that gamma uses I made, im not sure how you think that could be reused, what do you mean?
