[gloomy phoenix]

I dont understand how to do it. Can you explain to me like iam a 9 years old 😆

[ember chasm]

make a H.E.V suit mod, NOW

perfect idea

[pastel basalt]

Can someone please tell me where exactly the XM4 files are so I can edit them

[paper burrow]

This picture is showing an error message from a computer program. It's like when you're playing with building blocks and try to put a block where there's already one. The computer is saying, "Hey, I have two pieces that are the same and I don't know which one to use!"

To fix it, the computer needs us to make each piece unique. We can do that by renaming one of the pieces, so the computer knows they are different. It's like if you had two toy cars that are exactly the same, you might put a sticker on one so you can tell them apart.

So, if this was our computer program, we'd either give a new name to one of the duplicate pieces or tell the computer that it's okay and we meant to have two pieces the same by using a special mark, like an exclamation mark (!) before the name. This is like saying, "I know these two cars look the same, but this one is special because it has a sticker on it!" That way, the computer can continue building without getting confused.

[surreal gust]

some scripts are in rus

[surreal gust]

learn lua then

[thorn stratus]

I managed to make it work by removing some files from the list. I guess generating is not enough as it can pick any sort of files from the VFS that mods introduce. SO you have to curate the list after it's generated but I have automated also this aspect (filters and blacklists).

Also I do not see any difference when I launch the game with the prefetcher, instead I get freeze when I open the inventory (time depends on its content) and the main menu, the latter it freeze for 3/4 seconds before it loads the menu. quite strange

[gloomy phoenix]

Thank you

[solemn ingot]

Does anyone know what function the debug menu uses to populate the item spawner list? It picks up everything, including modded items, so it would be extremely helpful in the addon I'm trying to monkey with (PDA Interactive).

[simple scaffold]

m_stalker.ltx [stalker_immunities_devushka]

[analog wraith]

is there a mod that makes the winchester a historical repair kit weapon?

[static nebula]

cant think of one off the top of my head but making one shouldn't be too tough

[gaunt glen]

I have an idea, idk if it's possible with the monolith x-ray engine... Dynamic mask overlays that bop up and down as you move and zoom in to the right when you ADS like in the A.R.E.A mod. How would one even start, maybe making the mask a physical item infront of the player camera? Or making masks overlay animated and the animation would trigger on script?
Just an idea, I have zero knowledge on how to make anything like that.

[paper burrow]

Definitely not any physical item near the camera, anything on the player's body is going t be a HUD animation

But yeah would be a bunch of overlays and animations

[pastel basalt]

Found it. Its in the GAMMA weapons pack folder, config, items, weapons, and then the XM4 file.

[celest forge]

@static nebula Can you help me with something animation related

[static nebula]

im not sure how helpful I'll be since I'm out of the house right now 😅 i can try though

[celest forge]

Oh dw i'm in no rush, you can take a look at it when you're able

I tried making a hands animation, but the gun just floats in place when i play it

Do you know what may be the cause

Oh nvm i fixed it

[jagged island]

Would the non-mod based, in-game reticule, be considered an object or item than can have code added to it?

[static nebula]

good to hear, I didn't see your message until now haha

[regal bolt]

Can someone help me

[surreal gust]

time to get working on the map

[swift copper]

Is someone working on getting burers their own, unique sound? It's odd that they sound exactly like pseudos and also create that trembling effect when they're so small XD

[surreal gust]

Aftermath.

[night stream]

can anyone help me change a script that shows weight of the itmes on top of them, I just want to change the font size.

I can't seen to see it in the script

[green osprey]

guys, how can I change relations between 2 factions?

[analog blade]

Does anyone know if iTheon is still around?

Ive updated the auto looter, made it so that "Junk" is also an option for the ammo dismantle as before it was all, none fave and nothing... But i dont want to post it without permission as i did none of the original work...

[slow bolt]

You could have just searched

[unique musk]

hey guys quick question. if i create my own weather in-game and save it. will it automatically be in my weather cycle now?

[analog blade]

That’s interesting, I did search and got nothing back bar the threads he’s created but nothing in them

[shell grail]

Just asking if Thermal Scopes are possible in the engine

[slow solar]

yes they are

[tepid scarab]

anyone found a way to use UI rework by sota with new update?

[warm egret]

Hi. I'm back from a break long enough to have forgotten basically everything of MO2. Say I wanted to mod a file and I know to search for it in MO2, but how do I go around to making a separate mod so that I don't edit that file in whichever already existing mod it was in?

[warm egret]

Ah, I think I figured it out. Had to make a new folder in the mod directory with the files copied over.

[storm basin]

any mods that make fireplaces last forever?

[surreal gust]

bump textures near a campfire

[glass monolith]

Ive been thinking recently: would it be possible to make bullets ricochet under certain circumstances in the XRay engine?

[surreal gust]

bullets can ricochet in certain materials

mostly in asphalt

there are a lot of material types in xray

its not like 10

more like 35 types

[glass monolith]

Oh interesting! I didnt know that they already did. Neat.

[surreal gust]

ever since the original games...

[glass monolith]

You learn something every day i guess!

[surreal gust]

my map

also ricochets depend on what angle you are shooting from

ricochets in a metallic material are harder to pull off

but still possible

[glass monolith]

Shouldnt ricochets be more likely on metallic surfaces? Also i wonder if different calibers are more likely to bounce than others.

[surreal gust]

there are different types of metallic materials in xray

and about the calibers i think they do

also bullet penetration exists

but its primitive

and really not the most realistic

bullet penetration is affected by different types of caliber

pistol calibers after ricocheting wont be able to penetrate through wood
but rifle calibers can

[glass monolith]

Huh. Ive never really toyed around with modding but i was interested in making it so that heavier calibers such as 12.7 and .308 ricochet quite prominently

https://youtu.be/PcJBJYH7Xi8?si=yWnTM2ycOlzxNqOg

This is the level of bullet chaos i desire. Dunno if its possible but i might tinker with it. I know about the material penetration but I'd like to take a swing at making that better as well. It would be so satisfying just absolutely slotting a bandit through a shitty crate he used as cover.

[surreal gust]

xray uses lua for ingame scripts

some of the ingame scripts existed since early 2000s

not sure if they are modified tho

[glass monolith]

I believe grok has changed quite a bit with the bullet logic

[surreal gust]

vanilla anomaly and original games still have those factors

[glass monolith]

[surreal gust]

since im not very good at lua

im just a mapper for xray

i do understand what these scripts do

some people say mapping in xray is a misery

[acoustic crow]

what proggram or what do you guys use to code

[slow bolt]

VS Code

[acoustic crow]

is that the program?

[trail bear]

npcs in my game seems to be bit inaccurate as they most of the time land their shots closer to me but not hit like in other modpacks in anomaly. I have this problem with hardcore ai aim btw. Is there a way to fix this issue with addon or anything?

[surreal gust]

visual studio

usually for editing the engine

[acoustic crow]

thxs

[surreal gust]

and for game scripts too

[surreal gust]

as you can see from the original game

bullets ricochet more often in the original games

[glass monolith]

I dont know how I havent noticed that before

[surreal gust]

i was shooting at a metal surface

they will never ricochet unless at a certain angle

[trail bear]

anyone?

[slow bolt]

Type it in google

[acoustic crow]

i did lol

i saw it and first thing i did just had to make sure

[slow bolt]

And it aint for engine. Its for anything. Its a good editor

[acoustic crow]

ok : D

i shall try to ;earn

so i can make funny mod

[surreal gust]

thats what i said.

i dont use vs cause its like 40 gb of unnecessary shit in my opinion

[slow bolt]

That isnt what you said

Because vs code is one gig

[surreal gust]

i said for engine and game code

[slow bolt]

It isnt visual studio

[naive snow]

Which one of the .sdk version works with anomaly is it the 0.4 same as SoC or is it 0.5 and up ?

[storm basin]

hello sir what were you referring to as your own version? could u link it?

[slow bolt]

#1137162280816099450

[regal bolt]

i wanna change the UI scale Factor for the Starter screen, any solutions for it? the reason why: i wanna display a gun that has 6width and the starter screen loadout ui shows only up to 5width. changing every gun values also fucks the icon

[storm basin]

thx, will this work in an already existing save?

also this is deadly

[slow bolt]

Yes

[storm basin]

sir is this going to be ever made or its just a concept for now?

[slow bolt]

but true

[lilac lantern]

Is there a way to change the NVG color?
I got a friend of mine who has deuteranopia, which is red-green color blindness.

The last upgrade for NVG isn't green I noticed, but he still doesn't have expert tools

[undone lily]

just a concept

[storm basin]

alright appreciate the work, the concept sounds great honestly

[undone lily]

Maybe after 0.9.2 release as an alternative

which is summer 2024

[storm basin]

pretty close

[storm basin]

sir on another topic, could you take a look at this issue I'm having with bhs, I'm trying to remove the texture here, because the option in the bhs install still leaves that area with a blank grey texture, when I specifically chose the option without it
can it be removed by deleting some value/file?

[hexed ember]

Does anyone know why a custom weapon resposition wouldn't work for a specific weapon? It just won't apply the custom settings

[surreal gust]

We need more mappers

Not coders

[undone lily]

I don't do custom mod support

[surreal gust]

Its still unfinished and there are a lot more objects to place

But what do you think about the terrain?

What do you think about my map @undone lily

[undone lily]

too flat imo

what stalker needs is busy maps with tons of stuff

like Lost Alpha levels

but that's already impressive to make new maps so congratz

[surreal gust]

Still havent showed the full map yet but oka7

People say chernobyl irl is flat.

I will focus on making more bumpy fields but some of these are flat because i want to place objects

[storm basin]

guys wasnt a mod called devices of anomaly redone posted in the mods posting channel?

[surreal gust]

The terrain is like 80 or 90% finished

The more i test the better the terrain gets.

[surreal gust]

oh yeah and theres this

but i believe its because lack of hemisphere quality

really i dont want to wait another 30 mins extra of compile time

[surreal gust]

they are not pitch black

they are just very dark that can be lighten by other light sources but not 100% of their brightness

[arctic ibex]

Anyone has an idea where are files regarding cap on resistances (like 85% for bullets) for GAMMA? Or should i just keep digging around Anomaly files?

[random fulcrum]

grok_actor_damage_balancer.script

[naive snow]

Does anyone know if weapon LODs are supported in game and how they're packaged?

[storm basin]

anyone know a mod/a way disabling keybind ui on the item slots in the inventory?

[hybrid forum]

Shit type

[open oasis]

yeah i've seen this yesterday lol i believe it's meant to be like sHit Type

[storm basin]

if anyone needs it, I found the answer

finding it may have been the most autistic journey I've been through

[craggy cargo]

If you remove the labels on your keyboard with sandpaper it removes them in the game UI right?

[storm basin]

[grizzled gorge]

Find ui_inventory_16.xml in G.A.M.M.A. UI then ctrl+f quick_use_str_1, 2, 3, 4 Change the y value for something like 100 or 1000 or whatever you need to move them out of the cell/screen

[storm basin]

yep I've done exactly that, thank you

[grizzled gorge]

didn't see this one, gg

[storm basin]

guys im trying to make this mod work without it simulating the inventory on its own, is that even possible? https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/faction-rank-inventory

I'm assuming it does that because it has a script file like that, which fucks with fddas backpack opening animation

whenever you right click in the inventory (anywhere) it janks up the model of the backpack to the right slightly

like literally only this one issue is happening while the mod is on

[naive snow]

Have you checked if FDDAs backpack use any of the following?

Incompatible with everything that uses
configs\ui\actor_menu_item_16.xml
configs\ui\buy_menu_item_16.xml
configs\ui\ui_inventory_16.xml
configs\ui\texture_descr\ui_actor_menu.xml
scripts\ui_inventory.script
textures\ui\ui_actor_menu.dds

Otherwise you'll have to create a janky merge of the files yourself

[orchid sentinel]

hey im currently getting this file error and never had a problem before any ideas? i cant find it in game files or mo2

[storm basin]

I don't think so, I didn't find any of those files

[fair inlet]

Vanilla bug, load a save before starting the dialog and try again choosing different options I guess.
And don't use this channel for support

[naive snow]

#🔨base-gamma-support

[orchid sentinel]

my bad didn't know which channel @fair inlet thanks for telling me that im new to this channel

[fair inlet]

bold to assume they are on default

[naive snow]

I live dangerously and want to ensure helpers wrath

While I have you here, you've played around weapon's ogf properties yeah?

[fair inlet]

no you're confusing me with someone, I just did sounds

[naive snow]

Darn alright, worth a try. Thanks all the same

[fair inlet]

You mean the timing fix guy I guess

[naive snow]

Why are there so many oleh?!

[fair inlet]

Because it's a common slavic name. Yes I'm original with my profile names

[naive snow]

Ohhh that'd explain it yeah!

[storm basin]

so do u have an idea on what to do for the case of there not being such files

[naive snow]

Do you mean in your MO2 file directory or in the FDDAs back pack stuff?

[storm basin]

fddas backpack stuff

[naive snow]

Have a look then on the right view port if these files are getting overwritten by something else

Or try your luck in #🔨modded-gamma-support

[storm basin]

I haven't slept much what does right view port mean exactly

[naive snow]

The mo2 window on the right that combines all the files and shows you the Anomaly folder modded

You can filter with a search at the bottom. Enter the name of the files and check from which mod all of them come from. If it's all from your faction and rank mod you should be good (might be breaking other stuff tho)

[storm basin]

so the files that impact the backpack from the faction mod are the ones I need to look up

[naive snow]

Look up the ones that are written on the actual mod page. If they get overwritten that means they won't function properly for your mod. Other mods might also be writing to those files for other mods, so pick and chose which mod has the file priority and/or merge the code yourself for the problematic file

[storm basin]

well the only file this particular mod has is a single script file which doesn't exist in any other mod as far as I can see

I'll see some other files for backpacks maybe

[long ridge]

Can someone help me make reload sounds for weapons?

[unborn agate]

is the pp19 working for you guys with the new update?

[surreal gust]

finally we are getting improved implicit lighting for sss 19

[regal bolt]

Im looking for a buliding mod

[arctic ibex]

Where can i edit ammo recipes? It seems that required files in Arti´s mod are completely missing, like configs/items/settings/craft.ltx

Anyone please?

[onyx crypt]

Hey, Is there a way to remove temporary healing? Replaced false with true in the script but it still doesnt work

[hybrid forum]

#1037521838202433616 message use this mod as a guide. It looks like you need to create files that are compatible with the ammo maker and named correctly. That said, my understanding is very limited and someone else can help you better

[coral gulch]

Does anybody know that mod to where when you complete the objective the money is wired to you?

Or was that deleted and/or it isnt compatible with Gamma

[slow bolt]

Task autocomplete

[storm basin]

how would one go about preventing the action of aiming in while in the inventory?

simply blocking that from happening while inv is open nothing else

[naive snow]

Does anyone know when using the Xray blender addon if there's a way to point to the Anomaly virtual moded folders? As in the folders with all the mods added and in proper order? Instead of pointing it to the SDK folder

Or is there a way to configure directly a "compiled" Anomaly folder with all the proper mods applied as if you'd launched the actual game

[naive snow]

Actually where do you even grab your copy of Shaders.xr and shaders_xrlc.xr from?

[vale knot]

honestly these might be better questions for anomaly discord if you arent in there

if theyre general anomaly\not gamma specific

[faint forge]

folks, is there a standalone mod that allows the short variant of the KS-23 to be equipped in the sidearm slot? UGP allows that out of the box, but I find the pack overloading the game somewhat and prefer to play without it

[craggy cargo]

I've been thinking about something similar but haven't actually tried it, so I don't know if it would work: Can you use MO2 to launch the Xray blender addon (whatever that is)? I.e. use the "Modify Executables" menu in MO2 to run an arbitrary program. (Something like the picture below)

[naive snow]

Hmmm I guess if you ran Blender actually through this?

[craggy cargo]

Something like that. I have essentially no Blender experience, but I just tried it with the windows console (C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe), and I can navigate around the MO2 virtual filesystem (I think, I didn't look very carefully).

[naive snow]

I'll finish my current batch processing and I'll give it a go

[craggy cargo]

I assume something like this exists somewhere, but in the spirit of learning something, I made this, which should do what you want. I tested that you can put the gun in the slot, but I didn't test anything else, so don't blame me if it destroys the universe or anything like that.

By the way, this doesn't make the KS23 one-handed (i.e. both hands are still on the 3D model when you equip it) (actually it does, see below), but it fits in the Melee slot (which I guess is what was intended, since it already fits in the "Secondary" slot by default).

[naive snow]

So I've tested the idea and it works. You can add your version of Blender to MO2 and any other tools you might use for modding (TMF viewer, OGF tool, etc) Once you have one launched, the folders are properly virtualized. So you can browse them as you want.

[craggy cargo]

Cool. A while ago it occured to me that MO2 is a virtual filesystem manager that happens to be useful for organizing game mods, and I've been curious about what else it might be useful for.

[random fulcrum]

making a weapon slot 1 will always make it one handed

[soft burrow]

I need a course on npc to npc damage

[naive snow]

It's certainly a pain saver from having to find the proper weapon files, which mod has the last priority, pool all of those together into a folder, change your paths, etc.
Also not breaking TMF files is amazing
An import will give you the proper textures and everything now

[soft burrow]

Thanks to you guys' suggestions I can accurately count player to npc damage. But I'm having trouble with npc to npc damage

[craggy cargo]

Perhaps we're talking about different things. When I use the mod I posted (which sets slot = 1), and put the gun in my Melee slot, the character still holds the gun with both hands:

Nevermind, I see that if I take out a detector, the gun is only held in one hand.

[random fulcrum]

yeah that's one handedness

like if you see it like that there's no one handed weapon besides knives

anyways peep this @craggy cargo #╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

[craggy cargo]

Nice. Definitely seems more reasonable for a 3.7 kg gun.

[random fulcrum]

you can also expand on that script and make other weapons slot 1 but restrict detector usage

like for example make all smgs fit small slots

[craggy cargo]

Yeah. I don't plan on using this mod myself. I tend to prefer mods that make the player less capable, or at least more realistic (whatever that means). It would be kind of interesting to change the script to make it so that you can one-hand more guns while using a detector, but the accuracy is a lot worse, and you can't do anything but pull the trigger (for example to prevent pump shotguns from pumping themselves, which is currently what happens). I might think about that (later).

[random fulcrum]

not being able to pump the shotgun should be impossible

but making the gun inaccurate when one handed is doable

[craggy cargo]

That's sort of what I figured.

[fiery cedar]

Thats a pretty good idea

[craggy cargo]

Step 2: also increase recoil.

Step 3: Cause right arm damage every time you shoot, depending on the caliber of the gun.

[vale knot]

@steady apex quick question, how would i query to change the attributes with DXML if theyre laid out like this?

my current attempt tried local res = xml_obj:query("ui_inGame2_Patroni_HUD_gold_bar")

[craggy cargo]

I'm not sure if this is right (or relevant), but I have something similar in one of my mods that would translate in your case to:

xml_obj:query("texture[id=ui_inGame2_Patroni_HUD_gold_bar]")

But I'm definitely not an expert in this stuff.

[vale knot]

lemme give it a try

mm no dice, lemme see if manually changing the values will even give me what i want

[craggy cargo]

Well, that was 100% of my DXML knowledge. Good luck.

[vale knot]

yeah that didnt change it either so its something to do with my way of going about it

thank u

-oh wait might be dumb

okay so changing the values manually did fix it but dxml still didnt work

[craggy cargo]

In case it's useful, this is how I removed the flashing radiation indicator in the inventory screen (by moving it off the screen). I guess this is somewhat similar to whatever you're trying to do.

[summer burrow]

@undone lily LETS GET SOME SCOPES FOR CHIMERA HUNTER PLZ RAHHHHHHHHH

[vale knot]

wait i got a much easier way of going about this

[vale knot]

i guess stretch and height values just dont work on this particular texture?

[twin mesa]

I'm trying to change the menu music but it doesn't work, no music is played and whenever I go into setting and go back to the main menu, there will be clicking sounds rapidly playing. If I go into any other menu, it stops

oh nevermind it works now, I just have to download it as mp3 first then convert to ogg. not directly to ogg

[lethal garden]

Can anyone guide me on creating a custom Actor Visual? Or more specifically, I want my clear sky outfit to adopt the visual of a certian Duty outfit, how could I do this?

I mainly want to get rid of the gloveless hands while using the same outfit.

[steady apex]

@vale knot the script the other guy gave is correct, you can use it as a base for your mod

[misty monolith]

Anyone can tell me where I can find item tags, like w_melee or w_rifle?

[vale knot]

yeah, im running into seperate issues not related to dxml now, leaving it for tomorrow me

thank u

for some reason this one specific texture doesnt react to height or stretch values like other textures do

well it does but not in the way i want it

[surreal gust]

When i finish the bare things with my map I will release it as an alpha or beta version

and those things are

smart terrains

waypoints

surge covers

bla bla bla and more

[analog blade]

Afternoon all, so ive been looking around and i cant seem to find much on it but what im wanting to do is try and make a script which would save a list of "fave" items so that you dont have to refave items through playthroughs. However im not understanding how that can be done pretty much at all... wondering if anyone wouldnt mind attempting to explain this to an idiot

[median flax]

ay, i want to make addon, which adds npc for trade items (like Spirit option for nemirof). Have zero experience, soo what i should do?

[fiery cedar]

Any idea how to fix this? Im not sure what i changed

[surreal gust]

my map better edition

[faint forge]

you have got to be the MVP of the century my man. OMG thank you so much!

[craggy cargo]

No problem. DLTX makes it pretty easy once you know how to use it.

[faint forge]

you have made my day, thank you man, truly.

[runic ether]

Hey uh i have a quick question. Could i make my own mod thread for a mod that wasnt originally mine but was revived to a way better state? I revived the lootboxes mod. Im just wondering since i dont know if there was a rule against this.

[random fulcrum]

but lootboxes is actively receiving updates

[runic ether]

I mean for gamma lootboxes

Not THE lootbox mod

[random fulcrum]

ah i see

idk maybe talk to the op

or just go crazy and post it

i'd do that

write something like "the original mod is long dead so i figured creating a new thread"

[runic ether]

I might do that since he hasnt been on for a good while

Like mabye more than 7 months i think

Ok well thanks for the help as soon as i get home im going to update my mod and make it its own thread. Thanks again

[nova prawn]

Does anyone know of a stalker model pack that applies to every model in GAMMA? PS: when I use model packs such as HD models lite items in my inventory seem to glitch out and either revert to anomaly or completely break.

[celest forge]

Famous last words

[naive snow]

Yo Juan are you the one that was working on optimizing the world models for different weapons?

[celest forge]

I did it for BaS

60mbs aint bad

[naive snow]

All of BaS?

[celest forge]

For like ALL of the BaS world models

Yeah

brought most of them from like 50-60k tris to sub 15k tris

[naive snow]

Wow! How did you do the optims?

[random fulcrum]

jesus christ that's a lot

[naive snow]

Don't know if you've followed #1180329195600105555 I've also been coming up with a workflow and optimization work of problematic models. Don't want to redo those you already did tho. Is it only a model fix or also a texture fix up too?

[celest forge]

Decimated geometry in Blender

They're def ugly looking up close and without a texture

But like

World models are not meant to be looked up close

Or without a texture

So if you can forgive some texture glitching from afar, it improves performance if all of your enemies have BaS guns

[naive snow]

Do you plan on doing the rest of the guns too or are you stopping at BaS?

[celest forge]

Like, all vanilla guns?

[naive snow]

Well probably not all vanilla guns cause they're pretty good on their own and even with Lods, but the rest of the guns found in the weapons folder

[celest forge]

Ah you mean all gamma guns

I don't use gamma

I don't have it installed anymore

[naive snow]

Ah alright all good. Guess I'll do the rest of them then. Thanks for the work tho!

[celest forge]

What other guns do gamma use

I think the gunslinger and some of Retrogue's

[regal bolt]

How can I remove the Gamma main menu background for a mod that I installed?

I can hear the music of the main menu mod but not dont see the thing itself

[naive snow]

Yeah Gamma has its own weapon pack that grok manages, but there's weapons from AUGmented too and a couple of single gun mods

[celest forge]

If you could send me a list

I'll try and do em

I have a fuck ton of gun mods, probably I have the ones you reference

[naive snow]

Like I said I don't mind doing the rest, I'm using simplygon to reduce the number of triangles and bake down a single basemap and _bump map for the guns. So it fixes the issue of crazy flickering textures and the gun models stay high quality ish for those gun racks enjoyers

[celest forge]

Most models don't even looks that different with the texture on

I've used that same technique for my guns for a while

[naive snow]

Yeah a lot of the details are in the geometry. I'm pretty happy with the results.
A 7k triangle AK12-isg for exemple

[celest forge]

Honestly BaS devs are kinda

Lazy

Lmao

For doing that

Considering some of the world models were nearly 100k tris

[naive snow]

Yeah there's some crazy ones for sure. Plenty of those also have internals fully modeled like springs

[static nebula]

the laser box alone on the sr2 m1 was like 10k tris

[celest forge]

And they also left the laser beams in most guns that had the modules

[misty monolith]

Are changes to scripts live? Can I, for example, change something in script and, if work, it will be in game without needing to restart?

[naive snow]

You can just refresh the game: F7, numpad 0 and F5 for a refresh

[rotund lotus]

anyone around here knows a weapon mod that has drum magazine? im a sucker for that thing

[runic ether]

how do i pin stuff on my thread?

[slow solar]

you can't do it yourself, what thread is it?

[runic ether]

br33no's lootboxes

[slow solar]

ok, do I also pin how to install message?

[runic ether]

please

[vital dock]

what dds format is interface textures?

im planning to turn the loading screens into reels of negatives

[slow solar]

you can see the format in mo2, just double click the texture in the information tab of the corresponding mod

[vernal radish]

Anyone know how to set npc StoryID?

[low fog]

would there be any interest in a mod that adds description on how to find a stash a bit easier, or is that just
decided to start modding with something easy, returned lore description to stashes that had a name, and for the one that just had "Stash" added custom description lines on how to find it. right now a proof of concept mainly with only Rostok stashes added

[river fjord]

Aoldri already did that like a year ago
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/descriptive-stash-coordinates

[low fog]

yeah but that's already in game and only when you receive a stash, people usually ignore the location or use the PDA map anyway
and then ask in #╟🔰☢newbies-chat ohhh where is this stash im right on it
when it is underground/on a roof

[slow nexus]

egggh

[surreal gust]

exotic butters

[warm egret]

Yo. Asking here since it's more code dependant that I think general would fit.
I noticed that you get thirstiness warnings ingame way earlier than hunger. From the first two pics I can only assume the debuffs start at 71% of the thirstiness bar while for hunger it only starts at 20%. At 71% thirst, the warning bar for thirst goes from yellow to orange.

I'm having the hunch that thirstiness debuffs starting that high might not be intended or in line with thirst reduction items since the water flask replenishes around 30% while the mineral water bottle replenishes 42%. Given you'd want to start drinking as debuffs kick in, flask would fill up the bar whereas mineral water would end up mostly wasted and needing the warning icon to be orange, let alone tank the damage from the yellow warning all the way there, to not have part of its thirstiness reduction wasted. On the fourth pic, both give white warning icons despite so wildly different a value.

Anyone else feel it might be unintended? Figured I'd ask here first before making a proper bug report for it.

[slow bolt]

Then delete your antivirus, cause it is all there

[brave tartan]

anyone knows why it could do that when I import stalker mesh into substance painter?

did not had such problem before

[slow bolt]

Downloaded straight from github, still in .rar file, as you can see

..its in the pins

[long ridge]

Hm

[hybrid whale]

is it possible to change the death sound of enemies?

[naive snow]

Anyone here knowledgeable about python and more specifically blender python scripts?
I've managed to get a working solution that allows me to create a _world.ofg of weapons at a much lower resolution than current in game. A lot of the models whenever they use a scope attachment simply display the _HUD version of the model when out in the world (ground or in npcs hands)(really heavy). Depending on the weapon, they might have up to 18 different scopes. That's a lot of processing that I'd like to automate somewhat with a blender script.

[celest forge]

It's a nice touch to have a model for each scope in the game, but after doing that with a couple of my first guns, I figured out it was just unnecessary bloat

I just make 3 models, small scope, medium scope and big scope

[naive snow]

Not the worst idea

[naive snow]

If I was in any way python savvy I'd automate the thing.
The pseudo code goes like this:
-Check the scene outliner for any mention of .ogf files
-Select the mesh and it's bone hierarchy.
-Run the Simplygon processing button
-Extract the armature of the initial object.
-Delete armature of the post-processed object.
-Join the old armature to the new mesh.
-Run the button from the Xray addon to set the Object Type on the right object
Export back a .ogf using the same import path

So we could mass batch any_Hud file, creating a _hud_world.

[celest forge]

I did that manually for a couple of guns

But after like 5 i was like

If I do this again i'm going to blow my fucking brains out

[naive snow]

I did tha AK5C and AK12 as tests, while also running a texture merger pipeline, but handling the creation of .thm and the proper compression of _bump maps is tedious

[celest forge]

Tooooooooootally

The suckiest part about dealing with textures

Specially since the tool I use for THM files isn't the slickest

[naive snow]

AXR toolset?

[celest forge]

Yeah

[naive snow]

Yeah it's a chore. Now I'm just copy pasting the .thm I've already made and just renaming/fixing the bump path

[slow bolt]

LLMs do make good python code

[naive snow]

Who/what?

[celest forge]

I wish there was a tool that made the thms automatically based on the name

[naive snow]

The THM validator kind of does that? But your .dds needs to have the proper meta data already and it's necessary flags

[celest forge]

I like modding for this game but like half of it is lines of text of pure tedium

[slow bolt]

AI, chatGPT and the like

Assuming it will know enough about blender scripts

but it should

[naive snow]

Ahhh true. I just don't know how to tell it about the buttons of simplygon the xray part. I'll give it a go tho. Do you know of a good one for this?

[celest forge]

Now that i see your name

A tool for aligning attachment icons would be sick as fuck

Y'know, without having to reload everything you change a value

[naive snow]

Yeah it's painful doing all of those x y tweaks and reloading every time

A solution I'm tempted is extracting the revelant icon, check the x and y of the icons 400x200 most of the time and with the dds of the attachment just placing them on a grid in Photoshop. Punch in the x and y value of the attachment directly in afterwards

[celest forge]

Is there a way to figure out the x and y values in photoshop if you have a grid?

[naive snow]

Should be, you have your transform x and y info

[slow bolt]

...buttons? would the script need to press buttons?

[naive snow]

Well, its more about calling the function of a loaded addon really

[slow bolt]

Well, you can ask it how to call and stuff. But yeah, i very well expect it to not know the stalker addon parts and make shit up

[naive snow]

Yeah that's where I'm expecting it to fail...

[celest forge]

I made an icon mod for all vanilla weapons

And the only reason i haven't completed it is the fucking

attachment icons

[naive snow]

Utjan also made a weapon icon rescale mod, dunno how it handles scopes and silencers

But hey if your icons are all singular .dds files, you could pop them in Photoshop. Load the attachments if they are in singular files too and CTRL + T to get your transform. You should get a X and Y value based on the center pivot of the attachment icon. Dunno if the icons are anchored top left or something tho (just move the center pivot point). Do all of your icons placement and just grab those values directly. For riffles that share the same scopes I'll copy over all of the !wpn and licon x and y, move a single scope until I find the proper position and just do the simple math to find what the difference was. Like -22x +2y and do the math for the other icons with the same "offset" worked pretty good for all the nato scopes so far

I wish icons had bones or sockets. You could simply place the socket at the right spot, parent the icon to it, voila. As long as the icons were all moved to line up with said socket

[celest forge]

They aren't single files

I made them by type

All pistols in one file, then one for shotguns, etc

[naive snow]

Well, as long as you keep your canvas the right size and (same as icon in the weapon.ltx file) and you line up properly the atlas you have, it should be the same thing

[celest forge]

Also doesn't help that all attachments aren't in the same place in their little grid

[naive snow]

Yeah that's painful

[celest forge]

So the 0kp2 for example is way up compared to something like the ac10632

same with the suppressors

Some are more forward than others

It's bullshit honestly

[naive snow]

The eotech and the eto2 don't even have the same y being nearly identical

[naive snow]

Do a huge mod and line them all up. Might be tempted honestly to do it at one point

Are scopes and silencers singular files or all atlases?

Cause if they were all lined up you'd only have to fix x and y once per weapon instead of 20 times

[celest forge]

I mean I'm going to remake the vanilla attachment icons too

[real nacelle]

Hey, new here, but I just saw the comment in announcement about how Grok wished there was more than blackjack in the game. I was curious why blackjack is the only minigame? A quick poke around google and I wasn't able to find source for the blackjack mod. But just skimming the mod doc's about dialog trees and tasks; it seems like there's enough there to make a mini game through that system... it just would have an awful UI... Blackjack has a full screen interface with buttons, but I don't see a reference on how that was done? That feels sort of like the last bit to needed to have the potential to make a fun mini game.

[simple scaffold]

Black jack is the easiest card game to implement because it can be one player and the house follows mechanical rules. No need to make a bot to play against.

UI is all coded in scripts.

XCVB implemented suduko and a snake game I think. Also slott machine I think.

[real nacelle]

Do you happen to know where I could find the source for the snake or slot machine? I'd be curious to see what the implementation looks like

[vale knot]

interactive pda mod

[real nacelle]

Thanks! I'm done for the day, but I'll see if I can find the source for that tomorrow

[balmy goblet]

Please tell me, can I remove the monolith (the object itself) from the game? If I can, where can I look for it?

[vale knot]

why

[balmy goblet]

mm, translated as “delete”, apparently. I need a model of a monolith (wish granter). Is there a way to get it from the game files?

[naive dew]

new to modding, can someone explain info portions? Is it just another name for global flags?

[simple scaffold]

Yes. The way they are used by tasks and dialogue that is close enough. Technically they are actor info_portions not global. NPCs can be assigned info as well but it is used less.

[simple scaffold]

Its probably baked into the level geometry.

[balmy goblet]

look in the levels folder?

[simple scaffold]

No like open the level in itself in blender.

There is a chance it has a district mesh in the meshes folder. But monolith is an over used keyword and the meshes folder is a nightmare. Sub folders that are a single letter, others that are avreviations for Russian phrases.

Finding it will suck.

[naive snow]

Probably need to unpack the level into something editable. Use the Anomaly/Tools/Unpacker all
Once that's done you'll have a _unpacked folder in there. Open the .level using the blender addon. Navigate to the monolith

[balmy goblet]

Thank you, guys. I'll go digging

[naive dew]

follow up question: info portions don't need to be defined in info_portions.ltx and can just be read/written in scripts, correct?

[simple scaffold]

not anymore. that file is legacy. you can give and check for any string you want as an infoportion. I recomend coming up with an abreviated mod/username to tack to the front of all your infoportions to insure uniquness.

[pliant sinew]

what does "!" mean in some ltx files?

[slow bolt]

Section/parameter Overwrite

[wispy burrow]

is there a fast way to quickly reload the game so I can test if my small edits to the ltx files work?

[grizzled gorge]

F7 > numpad 0 > F5

[wispy burrow]

ah thanks
I was wondering why Reloading system_ini alone then going into the test map didn't work

[surreal gust]

yes it is

i swear someone will use the death sounds from csgo and put them in stalker for mercs

[paper burrow]

Can I detect guitar playing without needing to monkey patch it?

[simple scaffold]

npc on update callback read the npc's statemanager looking for the guitar animation state(s). should work. would take a bunch of reserch into the state manager to beable to pull the info out. my recollections are very fuzzy.

[paper burrow]

I was considering running sound detection and matching it with the player's location but that is probably insane

[paper burrow]

If the player picks up an item, can I detect whether they dropped it first?

[simple scaffold]

if it is a weapon.

if IsWeapon(obj) and se_load_var(id, nil, "strapped_item") then

this flag is set/cleared by itms_manager in a callback(s). you could do something similar for all items.

[paper burrow]

I could implement it for sure, do items have unique IDs? Or is that what bind_item.bind does?

I suppose I could not make it too hard for myself and just put a general cooldown on dropped items by their type rather than unique instance, my cooldown manager would do that without adjustment

[steady apex]

Every entity has an unique id

[paper burrow]

👀

Is that just the :id() on items?

[steady apex]

This for game objects

.id for server objects

[paper burrow]

Server objects, online stalkers, surprising it's a single player game

Better than fallout 4 activating scripts via 'spells' 🤮

[steady apex]

It is a client server arch, both client and server is your app

And there was a deathmatch mp in og games

[long yacht]

I've always wondered, server vs client seems like a good way to multithread. Is one side such the majority of processing that breaking them apart not worthwhile?

[icy crystal]

Has there been a patch made for interactive pda that adds all of the new items in gamma for sale?

[naive snow]

So maybe someone can help me debug this. I'm looking for the stupid adar2-15 textures. I've looked in the wpn folder they're meant to be in, the _unpacked too, but nothing

I'm looking for these

[slow bolt]

unpacked? Adar is a bas weapon

[naive snow]

Exactly, I was expecting it to be in my MO2 virtual folders, but it's not, so I checked in the .db files and it's not there either

[slow bolt]

I assume you dont have bas 2022

[naive snow]

Nay, I'm checking with a vanilla profile

[slow bolt]

is adar now in vanilla gamma?

[thick loom]

Hello there everyone, i would like to know what "Virtual height" controls in textures? Increasing it makes it more bumpy?

[naive snow]

Guess not, I was doing the list of guns for reduction from Grok, guess he's running 2022 on whatever list he sent me

[slow bolt]

Well i saw grok wants to include bas 2022 finally in gamma

[naive snow]

Can you check real quick if wpn_ak74_pmc_world, wpn_ak104_alfa_bravo_world, wpn_akm_alfa_world are in BaS 2022?

[slow bolt]

Well they are all in there. Idk if they are in previous version too though

[naive snow]

Doesnt seem so, okay thanks. I'll ignore these for now

[obsidian void]

Guys, I need some help. I'm trying to get the breakable physics boxes to drop parts, like wood, scrap, fasteners, etc. I created a dltx file:

mod_ph_box_generic_zzz_boxes_drop.ltx

`![item_count_0]
prt_i_wood = 1, 4
prt_i_scrap = 1, 3
prt_i_fasteners = 1, 4
prt_i_plastic = 1, 2

![def_box]
prt_i_wood = 1
prt_i_scrap = 1
prt_i_fasteners = 1
prt_i_plastic = 1

![med_box_low]
prt_i_wood = 1
prt_i_scrap = 1
prt_i_fasteners = 1
prt_i_plastic = 1

![med_box_high]
prt_i_wood = 1
prt_i_scrap = 1
prt_i_fasteners = 1
prt_i_plastic = 1

![small_box_full]
prt_i_wood = 1
prt_i_scrap = 1
prt_i_fasteners = 1
prt_i_plastic = 1

![big_box_generic]
prt_i_wood = 1
prt_i_scrap = 1
prt_i_fasteners = 1
prt_i_plastic = 1

![small_box_generic]
prt_i_wood = 1
prt_i_scrap = 1
prt_i_fasteners = 1`

but it still doesn't work. By my reasoning the boxes should have a 100% chance to drop these items but no luck. What am I missing?

[naive dew]

hey all, I'm trying to create a camp assault task that can target Sin and UNISG. However, it appears to not be working specifically for these two factions. Does anyone know where the disconnect is?

[strong edge]

been trying to make Merc to hostile towards Bandits and Freedom simple mod. I think I missed something that cause Reputation worsen. Any thought?

[simple scaffold]

Did you change the actor factions relation to the npc factions as well?

[strong edge]

Guess I did miss that one. Thanks

[simple scaffold]

i missed it in one of my addons once.

[mossy vector]

sup lads ... does anyone know if there's a weapon repositioning mod similar to FO4's 'Lowered Weapons'?

[slow bolt]

yes, its called lower weapon sprint or smth like that

it uses the holster anim, which all weapons have

pretty sure you can toggle it without the mod, i just never did

[open oasis]

Lower Weapon Sprint Animation:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/lowered-weapon-sprint-animation

in MO2 it's misspelled as "LowerSprintAnimaiton" if you want to find it

it's also enabled by default

[slow bolt]

that is for sprinting, yeah. you can also just lower. its a vanilla feature

[celest forge]

I was gonna say

Just like

Press B

[celest forge]

@vale knot

[vale knot]

[celest forge]

Sadly the model and textures are shite

[vale knot]

the only 3d model i saw was 50 bucks and idek if itll look good

https://3dmodels.org/3d-models/ruger-p345/

looks a bit.. flat

but maybe thats just textures being butt

that looks insanely high poly

236K

[celest forge]

I was about to say

That handle alone

The model I got seems to be a uh

Rip from the mod lol

[vale knot]

it def is

[celest forge]

Talk about authentic

It's such an obscure pistol

I wonder why the dev chose that over something more generic like a Beretta or a 1911

[vale knot]

ive literally only seen it in cry of fear

[celest forge]

Yeah I can't find a 3D model for it anywhere

[vale knot]

and you can only get it if you do bad ending

[celest forge]

I mean it looks ok in the hands

No worse than a vanilla pistol

But when you look at it upclose

That's when it falls apart

[vale knot]

i was gonna say looks fine for vanilla aboobaly

[celest forge]

But I'm guessing that wouldn't bother you taking into account you're a fan of the og thing

[vale knot]

if you really wanna, id like a high quality model of it but i cant find one either

is downscaling an insanely high vertices model hard?

[celest forge]

I'm just fascinated by this rare pistol being the weapon of choice for an obscure mod of an old game

[vale knot]

the glock is really

in that game

the p345 is also rare and unless you do the bad ending you only get to use it for like... an hour max

literally only remember 1 spot that ammo drops for it

[celest forge]

Its just rare to see a model of such a specific gun

I don't mind the shitty model just for your personal use if you want

[vale knot]

If i bought the model would it even be useable or is the vert count just dumb high

Even if its just for the hud model

[celest forge]

That's extremely high yeah

Specially for a pistol

The highest of BaS is like 100k with a bunch of attachments on

250k just for a base pistol is nuts

[vale knot]

Id like a higher quality one tbh im spoiled, so nah you don't need to

Unless a better model crops up then ill pay you

[celest forge]

Such is the life in the zone

[hollow goblet]

Damn this is like the unholy opposite of what Burn is doing right now lol.

[celest forge]

Make every world model 300k tris

[paper burrow]

🪥

[mossy vector]

txs for that 😉

[slow nexus]

If you want to add this to the game it's going to need an insane retopo

[vale knot]

I was gonna say have the og model used as the world model and the 200k one only for first person view

[slow nexus]

its not hard to bake all of that to a low poly model though'

there is so much detail on the high poly that it would bake down really nice

if it was anything other than xray engine lmao

[vale knot]

The lack of any other model of it means my only real option is to hire an artist to make a new one

[slow nexus]

That website has some insane models on it though

respect to that company

thats mad

[vale knot]

I wonder what its actual use would be

Probably could be just a portfolio piece

[slow nexus]

film

$50 is a fair price for it but not something im willing to pay

haha

the website offers a retopo / low poly option though

[vale knot]

[slow nexus]

costs $$$

mega dolar

I'm not good enough of a 3d artist to make an accurate copy of the gun without having it infront of me haha

[vale knot]

Im a 2d artist not a 3d one

[slow nexus]

I dont even think i have anything from my portfolio lying around

[vale knot]

Wow yeah

30 to 40k poly is 150 dollars extra

[slow nexus]

imagine just using a decimate on it in blender to drop it by 100k for free

throw it in to zbrush and use zremesher to get it lower

real lazy shit

[celest forge]

Movies or shows

[vale knot]

[slow nexus]

hers my website

https://mnml.jp.net/

im lazy tho

[slow nexus]

idk why i didnt tae a wireframe screenshot of that

i think its less than 5k poly id have to look at the blend file

[celest forge]

Upscaled the textures, doesn't look that bad now

[vale knot]

got some color issues

but it do look good

on par with vanilla anomaly

[celest forge]

Yeah it looks way better

[celest forge]

Comparing it with this

[vale knot]

we checked the site for that model they do offer lower poly services

but its 150 dollars for a 30k model

[celest forge]

150 or 150 extra

[surreal gust]

wtf happened to the detail ground textures

[celest forge]

My pc is bad

That's what happened

[vale knot]

extra

i think

[celest forge]

So $200 for a model of a pistol?

[vale knot]

around dat

another 50 dollars if you want rigging

but i assume modders do that themselves?

[static nebula]

yeah, whatever rig it comes with might not even be compatible with xray anyways

also 50 bucks for a weapon rig wtf that's like 10 minutes of work, max

[vale knot]

is lowering the poly count actually that hard to warrant 150 dollars

guy with no experience 3d modeling asking

[static nebula]

I think there might be an actual process to creating a low poly from high poly, but I'm not experienced enough to know lol. But there's also just the good old limited dissolve/decimate options

[vale knot]

one day ill have this pistol

[surreal gust]

good zemlja?

if its too rocky on the sides just tell me that and i will fix it

these sides should be tall as the cordon mountains

it may look small but its actually very big

[coral crystal]

if db.actor.bleeding > 0.2 then
This is saying if the actor is bleeding more than 20% the X? Or is it a value of something like 0.2 units?

[strange wind]

i got locked out from suggestions 😄 so im posting here #1182114014038331523 message

[celest forge]

I mean it's nice when a gun has separated parts

But it's not a big deal for most guns

[obsidian void]

Does anyone know of a resource (like an xml document) where I can see all the items and their parts? Specifically I'm trying to examine the armor parts and how they are used.

Or at least an armors list that contains the item names (as defined in the ltx)

[celest forge]

@vale knot

[vale knot]

it looks almost like, artsy with the old textures that have their own shadows and highlights on them

[celest forge]

Def has some charm

[simple scaffold]

someone hid it in a file called parts.ltx of all things.

[obsidian void]

haha

[open oasis]

does the slide not supposed to be pushed back faster when firing? or is this some mechanism unique to this weapon

[obsidian void]

Ah. I found the issue. Gamma has a DLTX file that changes many armor parts. Hence the parts.ltx does not correlate to what is in game.

modpack needs to be consolidated

[shy junco]

Anyone know how to fix this when trying to eddit mask reflections

[icy crystal]

Does anyone know where I can find a list of all the item ids in my game?

[shell dragon]

Is there a mod to add the Norinco Type 80 pistol to the game? Or maybe an option to the APS to convert it to 7.62 Tokarev?

[wet grail]

you can literally get amazing models for 1/4 of that price

actual scam

[hybrid forum]

Is it possible to move fast travel points?

[slow solar]

yeah, hold on there is a mod that does it, maybe you can check how it's done

[hybrid forum]

I would like to fix my own suggestion so that it's easier to integrate https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1182641202944802867

[vale knot]

Cant find any for the ruger p345 unfortunately

Other than that one and the og cry of fear one

[surreal gust]

lil bits of height variation

[grave trail]

Is there a higher resolution sky texture mod somewhere?

[open oasis]

if you don't intend to make one yourself i don't think this is the right channel to ask

[grave trail]

Seems pointless to make a thread asking about it.

[open oasis]

i'm saying you can just ask in the regular channels since this one is about making mods, not finding existing ones

#1035807043933720576 is also just for complete mods, not questions

[summer hornet]

want to try making mods for gamma i want to start simple with adding back the removed guns to the spawn pools any advice to point me in the right direction?

[misty mulch]

browse GAMMA NPC Loadouts mod and re-add the weapons you want to the npc loadouts

ideally check pins, read up on DLTX, use that to non-destructively overwrite that mod's sections with your changes

you will also probably want to unpack the original game's config + script files so you can read up on the syntax for loadouts, by running Anomaly/tools/db_unpacker.bat

anyway I came here to ask, is there a convenient way to spawn a shitload of marked stashes in the north (i.e. no stash vendor) or am I doomed to trying to complete randomly generated tasks via debug

[slow nexus]

why dont you just paint it in substance painter

[slow nexus]

okay show us where

[celest forge]

I have no clue how to

Also I'm pretty sure my PC doesn't run substance painter

[slow nexus]

fair

inb4 this dude just links turbo squid and thinks its a good excuse to make his point

[celest forge]

Wha

[summer hornet]

thanks

[naive snow]

Yo @celest forge I made a lot of progress and actualy got a working python script that runs a mesh through the simplygon process, spits out a mesh at 10k triangles, either with a baked 2k BC3 texture for both Base and _bump map, or with the original material IDs, exports if present the textures and the mesh to a folder automatically. ChatGPT actually fucking delivered with a bit of monkey scripting. It takes me less than 10 clicks and 2 minutes per mesh. I'm pretty fucking happy with the results

So I can run the stupid XM4 with 47 material ids and bake them all down to a single one with the right stuff exported in the .OGF. It feels like fucking magic. Might actually try to automate .THM creation too next

[celest forge]

47 material IDs?

So like 20 something textures?

[slow nexus]

Can you just use the uvmap entry instead

[zenith linden]

does anyone have the arrival anomalies mod downloaded?

[surreal gust]

Aftermath

[vale knot]

Lookin good

[surreal gust]

Thanks I have been working on the terrain for a couple of weeks now

Still didn't finish yet but i'm trying to make it look good.

[surreal gust]

will likely increasing the map size a bit to increase the length of outside boundaries

[surreal gust]

heres the alpha map of terrain

it looks really cool not gonna lie

its basically used for hemisphere which is light baking

the darker the spot means less lighting

[naive snow]

47 materials on the weapon (37 unique materials), meaning 74 textures for a single weapon at 137k triangles for a world model

[celest forge]

Jesus fucking christ

I mean ngl

My Wages of Sin M4 is like that

Just modern CoD assets

0 optimization

[naive snow]

Yeah it's some crazy shit. I'll do the rest of the world model. All in all, we're looking at 8.78 mb per mesh (2.66mb BC1 Base + 5.33mb BC3 _bump + 0.784mb for the mesh)

[tropic thunder]

Is there a mod to replace the effect of coals/wood in campfires? Flickering (simulating smoldering) with a clock cycle of 0.2 seconds looks terrible. Although the fire sprite itself is beautiful

[celest forge]

And how many tris in that world model

Probably not that big of a reduction right

[naive snow]

10k triangles, for every single models

[regal bolt]

Anyone knows what script is responsible for stashes weight limit?

[severe vector]

should be in hideout appdata

[regal bolt]

I figures it out already, but thanks for your input

[severe vector]

no problem, where was it located??

[regal bolt]

I didn't touch the file tho. I realized I had hideout furniture patch disabled xD

[severe vector]

That’ll do it😂

[regal bolt]

Okay. What mod in GAMMA is overwriting the story NPC spawns?

[celest forge]

Very nice

How's the geometry looking

[torpid trail]

Is anyone really versed with the snow particle system? There is an issue with enabling heavy snow when you begin to run the entire particle effect system disappears and then when you stop running it begins to fall again. Its extremely immersion breaking, im trying to create some blizzard/heavy snow weathers.

[obsidian void]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/smoother-campfire-illumination

[rotund quail]

Anyone has the file/mod that let you put a PP2000 in knife slot please?

[naive snow]

So far, pretty darn clean. I've made the silhouette the biggest influencer so it tries at a maximum to keep the exterior good looking, while culling triangles on the interior with a visibility brute force test

[celest forge]

That's pretty smart ngl

[soft burrow]

I need to check if a mutant is a pseudogiant. Do you guys think checking if "giant" is contained in the section string is good enough?

[open oasis]

pseudogiants are called "gigant"s in the original STALKER files, i don't know if things have been changed in Anomaly since the baseline for the engine is still the same

make sure they're actually called "pseudogiants" now

[random fulcrum]

would be better to check for class ids

since relying on unenforced naming conventions will eventually be problematic

[open oasis]

yeah this is from CoP

so make sure they changed that

the rest were pretty straightforward (minus Zombified being called "zombied")

[open oasis]

oh i think i misread

[deft sable]

Hi guys, how can i get my lvid and gvid values?

[slow solar]

you mean resolution?

[slow solar]

!resolution // like this?

[queen pine]

@deft sable
If you crash upon changing your resolution in game, you can change it before launching the game. In Anomaly/appdata/user.ltx look for the vid_mode line and change it to the resolution you like.

[deft sable]

No, i meant gvid and lvid information

cuz with debug now i have just this

[slow solar]

you don't have actor info? just actor inside zone info?

[deft sable]

Yes

And I cant figure why

[slow solar]

have you tried disabling/enabling the ovelay again?

[deft sable]

ofc

[amber elm]

hey guys sorry if this is a dumb ask, but is there a simple way of replacing the texture of an item?

[hybrid whale]

would be dope to have the combine death sound effects, with a retexture of the combine

[surreal gust]

Its just easy

Just unpack the sounds actor.db0 file

From anomaly

And go to characters_voice folder

You will see how npc sounds are done.

[hybrid whale]

alright ty

[regal bolt]

Anybody got a list of mods added between 9.0 and 9.1.2?

[tropic thunder]

Yep, i use this. Its replace lightning, but not coal/firewood

[obsidian void]

Hmm. I'm not aware of any mods that change that.

[tropic thunder]

the same..sad

[obsidian void]

Tbh I've never even noticed what you're talking about. Maybe you're spending too much time staring into the fire, stalger

[surreal gust]

slow but steady

[soft burrow]

Anybody got an explanation of the on_before_hit parameters? Like s_hit, direction, flags, etc.

[slow bolt]

shit(s_hit) carries all the information about the hit. Who hit you, how much damage - that stuff

direction should be where , relative to you, you got hit from. Never dabbled in that i am afraid.
flags is reponsible for many thing, i dealt with this use case: flags.ret_value = false. That basically cancels out this function from returning anything voluntarily. Also how ADB blocked on_hit_callback from firing, iirc

[naive snow]

Update I've got a full automation pipeline for the creation and setting up of LODs.

anbody know what causes global reload sounds? experiencing it rn with the mp7

[celest forge]

Incorrect or missing ogg comments

[random fulcrum]

also happens with stereo sounds regardless of proper comments

[celest forge]

@static nebula Hey can I ask you somth

[static nebula]

sure

[celest forge]

Do you animate with blender

[static nebula]

yep

[celest forge]

I'm making some animations and i'm using some bone constraints for stuff like the hand following the mag and what not, but when I export the animation, it looks like the bone constraints don't do shit, is there a way to like

"Bake" the animations before exporting them so the frames that are affected by the constraints stay like that

[static nebula]

could you show what's happening with a video maybe 🤔 i can also have a look at the .blend file real quick if you'd like

im not sure what might be happening, as everything should be baked during export

[celest forge]

This is what it looks like

And this is how it looks like in blender

Same with the reloads with I also did with bone constraints

[static nebula]

do you mind if i look at the .blend file? you can send it through DMs if you don't want to send it here :p

[celest forge]

Sure thing

[slow bolt]

wait a sec

...tec-9

i know someone who will do sussy things to see that

[celest forge]

Frosty?

[tawny yoke]

anyone know's where is the ltx that edit BR class on helmets?

[surreal gust]

progress

[simple scaffold]

o_helmets.ltx

or damages.ltx depending if you want to tweak one helmet or every helmet that shares a bones section.

[tawny yoke]

gamma doesnt use somthing else? i notice on outfit it has its own files for BR class's

[simple scaffold]

you can put the bones koeff section anywhere you want. you could put it in the ltx with ammo if you felt like it. Considering the messy soup this modpack has become it might even be in toilet.ltx for all i know. i answered vanila assuming modmakers are sane and keep thier mods withing the base anomaly file names.

[tawny yoke]

we have BR class and balistic resist on helmets correct? what are the line's in that ltx, that should be changed for each of them?

and they are both in o_helmets?

[simple scaffold]

all resistance to bullets comes from the bones_koeff_section
maybe hitfrac and ap_frac if those are not set by the bones koefff

the BR class is a figminemt made up by the ppl that wrote the equipment descriptions. it's fake

[tawny yoke]

thx for info

[regal bolt]

Hey guys. Anyone knows how to set custom zoom value to a scope?
I want to make the PSO-1 with the eyecup have the x7 zoom level

[celest forge]

You can't do it for the scope, you have to do it for each weapon that uses the scope

Scopes to have a preset zoom level but all guns overwrite that in the respective scope section

[regal bolt]

Well. I want to remake PSO-1 for specifically AK-74, VSS and SVD. What script would I have to rewrite and how?

[simple scaffold]

The ltx file for those weapons.

The value is not a zoom factor (despite the name)

The value is an adjustment to the fov value except that it is multiplied by .75 before being applied to the fov.

Easiest is to find a gun that looks they way you want and copy the setting

[regal bolt]

Okay. I'll check these

[winged crater]

Where can i find the High quality icon mods?

[random fulcrum]

man that's some useful info

i remember reading in the source and understanding it completely wrong it seems

[winged crater]

where can i find BHS Retexture mod?

[dusty sonnet]

is there a mod where if it snows it slowly starts building up on the ground instead of just like a blanket of snow on the ground 24/7?

[slow solar]

no, there is no mod that does that

[random fulcrum]

i don't think that'd even be possible

like period

never possible

but i also thought adding custom waypoints and pins in the map was impossible

then catspaw rolled in

[grizzled gorge]

inb4 SSS 3.0 dynamic snow update

now that you mention it

you could edit some stuff there

[surreal gust]

dead air devs showcased a season system

which would probably be included in dead air 1.0

guys, how can I change the faction of NPC merchants?

[summer hornet]

quick question im about done with my first mod adding back the removed weapons to the loot pools but what does this mean? :r:0 example wpn_mp5sd:r:0

[random fulcrum]

weapon section : ammo type index : attachment : weighted random chance

idr how the attachment one worked exactly

anyways look at npc_loadouts.ltx

[summer hornet]

thanks

slight issue i cant find npc_loadouts.ltx i can find the faction loadout files like npc_loadouts_bandit.ltx

[surreal gust]

yeah

anomaly is just call of misery rebooted

[slow nexus]

we do a lil sculpting

[misty mulch]

you have to unpack basegame anomaly configs to see it

Anomaly/tools/db_unpacker.bat run it

[misty mulch]

the attachment flag values:

0: no attachment
1: scope
2: UGL
3: scope and UGL
4: silencer
r: random attachment

obviously if the gun can only take scopes, 2 and 3 and 4 are useless

[slow nexus]

[summer hornet]

thank you my friend

[misty mulch]

Most guns in the gamma loadout files have 0, r or 4 for attachment flag btw

[fair inlet]

have you tested these? From my old experiments these are not true. Scope spawns for example seem to be regulated by scope_chance only

[misty mulch]

oh for fuck's sake is it another classic case of "yet another mod just overwrites the vanilla anomaly function"

[misty mulch]

i wonder if the npc_loadout.ltx weapon spawn chance line sets up the conditions which are then further affected by scope_chance. e.g. only if the npc loadout spawns a gun that would have a scope, then scope_chance kicks in with a further possibility to modify what you actually pick up

b/c i think the attachment flag is a binary on/off, as in, if that npc picks the gun with a 4 flag it'll always have a silencer attached. and if it's r it's a 1-in-however-many-scopes-it-has chance of having a scope

[fair inlet]

idk, but setting scope chance to 1.0 makes everyone have guaranteed scope (if weapon can fit any ofc)

[misty mulch]

in conclusion: confusion

then i guess the r flag is only there for UGL and silencer

[fair inlet]

It would be better if I understood the script, but from my testing I think flags are:
:2 for GL
:4 for silencer
:6 for both
and scopes are added based on scope_chance

[summer hornet]

testing the mod so far no crash so good start

[summer hornet]

doesn't seem to work that or i have really bad luck

[cerulean mesa]

can anyone help me install the mod ballance gamma for ugp?

[soft burrow]

is there some way of sending variables and values from a table from a script file A to script file B? other than writing in script file A a new function that returns those variables/table values when called from script file B.

[regal bolt]

Where do I put it

[soft burrow]

Are you having crow problems?

[regal bolt]

Not only, but yes

I have a few bugs that could use help addressing

[slow bolt]

I remembered you talking about it and pointed this lost soul at that

[soft burrow]

That file might not be the last version
Let me upload the one I have

[regal bolt]

Life saver right here❤️

[soft burrow]

Oh

[rustic lagoon]

Hi, is there a mod that gave player the access to items in stash from other hideout? Like stashes in wither 3 or mc enderchest xd

Items transportation sucks without changing player weight

[soft burrow]

install like any mod

[regal bolt]

Thank you ^^

[soft burrow]

Are you also having times where you can't lay down furniture or sleeping bags?

[regal bolt]

Yeah

[soft burrow]

How much ram do you have

[regal bolt]

And Alt tabbing places the items, but they're kinda buggy

[regal bolt]

8 GB 2133 MHz

[soft burrow]

8gb same as me
but can't really say this is the cause of problems

[regal bolt]

Have you ever had other spawning problems?

[soft burrow]

Yes, like spawning npcs with debug menu

[regal bolt]

Like trackers or NPCs not spawning after killing the mutant or using Debug/quick tp

[soft burrow]

I know a trick to not let it happen

[regal bolt]

Please tell me. I've been reporting this for a week straight to #🔨modded-gamma-support

I even have videos on it if you need a confirmation

(On the bugs)

[soft burrow]

When I launch gamma I spam-click the loading banner until I get the close program prompt

I close it, and then launch the game again.
It works fine on the second launch

[regal bolt]

You're serious?

[soft burrow]

Yes

[slow bolt]

wtf

that is black magic stuff

[regal bolt]

How does that work?

[soft burrow]

No idea

[regal bolt]

[soft burrow]

Some ram-freeing ritual of some kind

I dunno

Like priming a water pump

[regal bolt]

Can't I just allocate more RAM for the game?

Okay. I'm gonna go test if it works

Brb

[soft burrow]

I really don't know if the problem is really RAM-caused

[regal bolt]

Is there a way to enable debug logging for hideout furniture, quick companion teleport or something?

[onyx shadow]

hello, how could i make myself a custom photo of loved one ?

[regal bolt]

OMFG IT WORKS! Thank you! ^^

[soft burrow]

no problem
adds a bit of time to your game launch but it's better than loading a save and finding out the game is bugged

[regal bolt]

I thought I won't be able to play GAMMA anymore

[regal bolt]

Agreed. Thank you again ^^

[soft burrow]

[onyx shadow]

is it good to make gamma run on dx 8 ?

im having fps drops in certain areas, thats why i asked

[regal bolt]

@slow bolt And thank you for pointing me to the person who knew the bugs.

[slow bolt]

Infinite crows is not something you forget

btw since you both have ram issues

[soft burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/worried-scared-oh-no-stop-it-fearful-gif-12534009

[regal bolt]

Yeah. That works well if you use the !dx8 command

[slow bolt]

Do you have virtual memory set up?

[onyx shadow]

ty

[regal bolt]

I don't know what that is

Wait. Intel optane and stuff?

[slow bolt]

lmao i forgot it showed my email address lmfao

woops

this

[soft burrow]

yeah
otherwise the game wowuld just crash when ram is full

[regal bolt]

I do have it set to like 12 GB

[slow bolt]

12 aint enough

i have variable size of 8 - 48GB

[soft burrow]

I think mine doesn't have any hard maximum

[slow bolt]

yoo chinese drive names

Yeah you Currently got 16

so that isnt a problem of not enough memory

[slow bolt]

Click change

and see

But i bet it is automatic

[regal bolt]

You want me to see if increasing it (Changing it from auto to 50 GB on my SSD) would fix the issue?

[slow bolt]

I set it at 8-48GB, meaning it increases if needed

I only ever need ~31 max

[regal bolt]

How do I do that then?

[regal bolt]

Both of the drives are now volatile rapid access memory boosts XD

[slow bolt]

Well i wouldnt do 2, but might help if it uses them in parallel

[regal bolt]

One was supposed to be like it from the beginning, but repair shop that fixed my laptop a few years back fucked that up

And now I have a 13,3 GB fast af ssd

XD

Gimmie a minute. Gotta restart this old fart for the changes to take effect. Brb

[slow bolt]

Dont set both at 8. thats a lot

[regal bolt]

Okay. Applied

Wait. Why not?

[slow bolt]

So you dont eat up all your space

8 means it will always have at least 8 GB

[regal bolt]

I mean. I don't use it regardless

[slow bolt]

8+8 is 16. Most of the time you dont need 16

[regal bolt]

16 extra GB of super slow RAM

[regal bolt]

Would you mind if I shared that zip to anyone else who encounters this bug? (I will ofcourse provide crediting to you)

[soft burrow]

Please feel free to do so

[regal bolt]

Thank you. I hope nobody will have it, but if they do you just saved their day, or week like in my case

[soft burrow]

Though I'm not sure if it's the file that stopped the crows or the game launch method

[regal bolt]

I will share both

But rn I'm thinking about what makes the game cease bugging that way when you launch it this way

[shy junco]

anyone know where to find the uh

mask breahting fog scripts

and textures

or video

whatevre it is

[steel steppe]

It's in the settings

you dont find textures in settings lol

i edited these files but now uh

idk what to do with them

[obsidian void]

Has anyone had luck using Key Wrapper? I can't seem to make it work.

[old berry]

wdym you should have a keywrapper tab in mcm on top

[obsidian void]

I don't see the key wrapper in my MO2 or in my mcm. There is a MCM "Keybind" menu but Key Wrapper is different. I installed it but it didn't work So i disabled it. Doesn't seem to be installed by GAMMA

[wispy burrow]

@random fulcrum sorry for pinging directly but after looking further into scripting a bit, I have some questions with your script here
#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message
instead of the "ks23" I want to change it so that the logic becomes "if active item has section name in this .ltx then force_hide_detector()"
thereotically I should add a custom_ini file path to a .ltx with all the [wpn_examplenamehere] and let it callback for sections right?
or is it something that shouldn't be done?

I'm doing this so that I can dump the section names of weapons from extra addons into the .ltx for ease of use

[old berry]

either you messed up the install or something is overwriting it

[random fulcrum]

yeah you got it all right

[wispy burrow]

okay thanks for the pointers
now to read more russian mod scripts to reverse engineering their code

[obsidian void]

I think I confused you. I did install it, the option was on the mcm menu, but the mod did not work. That screenshot was showing that the mod is not included in gamma by default. Unless it was added super recently I gues

[violet tangle]

I want to create a mod involving ringing sounds when players fire indoors, possibly adding a new layer to combat. Would be my first step into something like this. Would anyone have any knowledge on this?

[nocturne berry]

sorry if really basic questions like this aren't what this channel is for, but ive been trying to edit some damage values on some weapons and cant get it to work. i managed to edit an armor item fine but the weapon edits dont seem to do anything

[gloomy pebble]

hello is there a way to make desolation work with gamma?

[open oasis]

no

[thorny kettle]

Yo! Not sure if my question is "mod making" 100% but.. i'm not sure which other channel to ask then..

I know gamma's a huge modpack and it's fine-tuned.. but is there a specific file/mod that contains the basics for gamma's economy?
I don't have enough hdd space to download gamma again, and my anomaly modlist is a cheap attempt to make escape from gamma (?) And I'd like to make use of gamma's economy and progression, and try some stuff with the black market addon..
So, which file/s should I look for?

||Anyone wants to send me said file/s to try? Please :D||

I'm after the progression and economy only, for now.. the whole grab and fix instead of buying, but also i'm not sure what to do if from 0..

It's for personal use only, won't share or upload anywhere

[open oasis]

you'd be looking at quite a lot of mods to port over most of which (if not all) are made specifically by Grok or friends for GAMMA

[thorny kettle]

Ah, but from that list id use some.. oh well most.. damn it

Honestly I'd be after the economy WITH bas injection, disable wpo overheat, armors repair like wpo, no integranted helmet and need armor repair kit, exo balance and npc loadout.. 7 mods of them hah

Ah and cooking overhaul

Now i'm not sure if theyll work properly without some finesm tuning on my end

[obsidian void]

That would be a huge amount of work. You would have to remove BAS and all other weapon packs from gamma as they are not compatible with desolations weapon system. You would likely have to remove several conflicting mods from gamma, probably leading to dependency issues. Also you probably would need to revise tons of loot tables, quest tables, etc. to make the systems work together.

Also Desolation is still in beta and not really ready for prime time yet so it doesn't exactly just work, it still has bugs

[thorny kettle]

Would ya kindly zip those and upload em for me to begin my surgery? 😄

[thorny kettle]

Maybe he can try what imma try? Slap gamma's economy into desolation?

And start tuning it

[obsidian void]

Can't just slap it in. All the weapon definitions need to be placed in the trade presets

[thorny kettle]

Ah you're right

Sorry for my ignorance

[obsidian void]

It's a ton of work messing with the economy that's why I asked nox to take over black market lol

[thorny kettle]

Oh..

[obsidian void]

You could probably make it work as long as you use all the same weapons. Desolation on the other hand replaces ALL the weapons in the game with their new versions. Idk what the files in desolation even look like though so I am also ignorant on that, just making educated guesses

[obsidian void]

Basically it would be just as difficult or easier to simply build your own custom mod pack piece by piece on Desolation, but considering they are still actively developing it your mod pack will probably get broken with updates

[celest forge]

Still wouldn't be possible since Desolation uses their own engine

Unless you know how to compile your own exes and merge them with demonized ones

The entire attachment system is reworked

Iirc the hands rig is different than anomaly

It simply wouldn't work at all unless you're a pro dev

[obsidian void]

Exactly my point I haven't even looked at it but definitely not an easy task

[celest forge]

Pretty much impossible in a practical sense

Desolation is cool but not worth it imo

[random fulcrum]

1.6 will have the bones hiding thing from cumslinger so it's a matter of time until someone makes a spaghetti desolation with it

[celest forge]

Just cope seethe mald and use the normal guns

1.6 release Q3 2076

[random fulcrum]

yeah

Well, if I get the files, i'll use them for a vanilla anomaly with bas, and a couple more of weapon packs (misc, simple, lewd)
So it may be way more simple than desolation

I mean with the weapon definitions at least

Is it possible to use dynamic item spawner to spawn destroyable boxes?

[peak quest]

it could be pretty immersive if there were a mod that made it unable to eat/drink/smoke with headgear on paired with the mask unequip animation that was just uploaded

[open oasis]

[peak quest]

Just wanted to share a few thoughts concerning that marvelous GAMMA.

1. Current food, drink, heal animations have a few second delay after being played. During this delay, nothing visually happens, but you can't open inventory and perform another action. This is very confusing and annoying. I guess this animations must be fixed in such a way that the exact visual ending of animation marks the moment the effect of that animation is applied or activated (food/drink/health bars increase) and controls are are unlocked.
2. Even better idea concerning controls locking. All eating, drinking, healing, mutant cutting/looting animations must be interruptable by player at any time. The effect of the animation is only applied when it is finished playing.
3. Mutant cutting/looting and healing animations must be as short as possible.
4. It would be a great idea to add a diminishing gauge untill the end of any animation.

When you open inventory the icons of active effects (hunger, thirst, radiation, buffs) disappear. Is it possible to make them stay all the time no matter what?
