[fair canopy]

Damn, they fucked up

[naive snow]

The latest release of GMTOP has a lot of mistakes yeah

[regal bolt]

I've noticed. Also there are some weapons i cannot find descriptions in whole GAMMA. Also love practice of hiding ENG subtitles in RU folder (Ithaca case) ;x

[naive snow]

That's what you get with cooperation projects, different levels of standards

[regal bolt]

Yea, that's why i am not gonna even try to automate scrapping those files. Will just do Excels and my job is done

[whole inlet]

I'm also thinking about such button but even can't find any info about how to get current active task(s). Any info related to this functionality would be helpful. Just want to figure it out. I'm not a mod maker, just front-end developer that can read code lines sometime

gamedata\configs\ui\pda_tasks_16.xml contains focus button in the list of tasks. I want to add "Cancel task" button to the left of it. Can anyone help me to find the definition of focus button function that executes the logic to center map on selected task? I think focus button definition could be helpful and maybe contains current TASK_ID that can be used to cancel task.

[graceful sluice]

@naive snow hell yeah, I finally did it. It was kinda harder than you explained but anyways

[naive snow]

Well done! What was harder? The unpacking of anomaly files?

[graceful sluice]

Finding the correct way to link blender addon to modded gamma, because everyone in tutorials was using stock game. So I tried to look in MO2 where those models located, and I copied the patch. I didn't know that each mod got own game data.

[naive snow]

Oh you could have simply launched Blender through MO2 so it assembles everything in your anomaly folder.

Like so, here's mine

[graceful sluice]

LoL, I just spent 2 hours trying to figure this out, and it actually was so easy

[naive snow]

Should have asked

[graceful sluice]

Yeah

[naive snow]

You still managed in the end, well done,

[graceful sluice]

Monolith showed me right path 🛐🛐🛐

We thank You for revealing to Your servants the machinations of our enemies! Illuminate with Your radiance the souls of those who gave their lives to fulfill Your will! Into battle, defenders of the Monolith! To battle! Let us avenge our fallen brothers, may their eternal unity with the Monolith be blessed! Death... cruel death to those who reject His sacred power!..

@naive snow

[naive snow]

Just hit the folder icon next to the right of the red fields and select the folders yourself

The object folder is under Meshes

[naive snow]

Yeah do every folder yourself

[graceful sluice]

Wonder who named it like that

[naive snow]

That's what you get from 400+ mods

The shader and engine files might be slightly more complicated to setup but if you're not re-exporting files it shouldn't matter

[graceful sluice]

So if I want export this model to .fbx I gonna have problems?

[naive snow]

Nah not really. You dont need to carry any information like the shader type in an fbx

[graceful sluice]

Why I can't see all those folders in explorer?

Oops wrong photo

This one is gamedata

[naive snow]

Because windows can't see virtualized folders. when you launch an application through MO2 it fakes the file paths for that application. Exemple it links any gamedata folders in your GAMMA/mods/ to your gamedata folder in the Anomaly Folder

That's why one of the programs in the list you can launch is a file explorer in MO2, so see and explore the assembled files in your Anomaly folder

[graceful sluice]

Damn, that's cool

[naive snow]

If you launch Blender through MO2, blender will see your Anomaly folder the same as the file explorer in MO2, like a fully assembled GAMMA version

[graceful sluice]

So I can do it like that?

[naive snow]

Nah

[graceful sluice]

[naive snow]

You need to go through the xray addon import menu to properly open the ogf files

If you want to also have the normal map and specular map you have to import it manually and plug it in yourself with the right nodes. Fanatic Lunatic has a great video about it
https://youtu.be/HwTYYH5zLjo?si=zieQ5s7jmol3cAeJ

[graceful sluice]

👍

[naive snow]

The point of setting up your blender through MO2 and setting up the proper paths is that the xray addon will automatically pick up the right paths and import the basic base color texture automatically for you.

Since all paths in the ogf files are relative to the gamedata folder

[celest forge]

Lunatic

Not fanatic

Smh

[graceful sluice]

Well, this video gonna take some time

[naive snow]

Whoops

[naive snow]

Just skip to the part he does the shader nodes

[graceful sluice]

Ок

[celest forge]

Anyone knows of a tool that shows me the bones of an OMF motion?

[naive snow]

Couldn't you check the dope sheet in blender with the loaded omf?

You should see the baked keys with the bone name

[celest forge]

I figured it out

[naive snow]

How did you do it?

[neon dirge]

Am I crazy or was there a mod that allowed you to give exoskeletons to companions for them to use it

[naive snow]

There's a mod to give companions armor yeah. Just search for armor in your mo2 list

[celest forge]

I was having an issue with the animations of a gun, so I wanted to see the bones of the animation I was exporting

But I resolved the issue without needing to do that

[lean dagger]

has anyone ever tried making a multi caliber weapon like the Baikal IZH 94 for example? that the regular fire mode is firing regular shotgun shells and toggling the "grenade launcher" would fire a regular rifle round? i heard there is some limitations to wich ammo can get used in the games nade launcher system, anyone got any ideas?

[lean dagger]

as i have tried adding "grenade_ammo = true" to 23x75 shrapnel and edited the siber m4s weapon config, adding the ammo to the grenade launcher list, what other stuff does an ammo type need to be recognized as a "grenade" ingame?

[vital dock]

need some help with batch-converting 1000 pngs to dds for a custom tv screen replacer
what software would you guys use to do that?

[surreal gust]

RTX trees betrayed me

[surreal gust]

Tree LOD's resolution is 8192x4096

[pearl sparrow]

anyone know how i could edit a weapon to accept diff scopes? want the SVU to be able to take the PSO without the eyecup

[vale knot]

You need to physically model that scope onto the svu

Using blender

[naive snow]

Model a mew hud file with the scope. Add an entry in the ltx for it. Set values like the aim pos and rot, and the rest.

[frank flicker]

Trying make some love for SIN players, SIN exo suit

[vale knot]

You know what would be awesome

If sin overcoat sleeves actually matched the icon

I think it just uses the mono coat sleeves model

[frank flicker]

Yep, i would like to make some textures by myself, but im not familiar with that

[pearl sparrow]

Ok ty

Shouldn't be that difficult as I could just copy the values of the eyecup version

Probably

Cannot believe that this atrocity is motivating me enough to learn how to mod

[obsidian void]

So this mod only has 4 files. GAMMA completely overwrites it. Why does it exist?

https://tenor.com/view/fuckem-chapelle-davechapellw-gif-14953769

[fair canopy]

Legacy mod

[regal bolt]

[surreal gust]

To add more tasks?

[obsidian void]

It does nothing, all the files are overwritten

[surreal gust]

Ask glock idk

[obsidian void]

haha

I just thought it was funny

[random fulcrum]

chat does someone here know how to dxml an outfit portrait

i'm missing this very small bit of info

[surreal gust]

No i'm a map maker for analmeme

[random fulcrum]

ah wait it's on the book

[surreal gust]

The book is very useful for me

[random fulcrum]

shit i don't even need to use dxml

[blissful tartan]

any ideas where to find the hotkey for bhs to change it from H ?

[slow bolt]

Its script

[blissful tartan]

u know which script ? i can dig thru it to find the windows key

checked thru couple but couldn't find any script that binds it to a key

[obsidian void]

there's a mod to change it iirc

[obsidian void]

#1174255939889672223 message

[blissful tartan]

oh thanks man i really gotta look thru mod posting

[obsidian void]

no worries

[blissful tartan]

this new repo mod for gamma guns look really nice i gotta get that

[frigid folio]

is possible somehow to move minimap from right down corner to left top corner like basic game ? 🤔

[regal bolt]

!minimap

[queen pine]

Change your minimap style and/or position: #╭📖faq message

[latent swan]

can I request a mod to be made?

to loot all bodies within radius, instead of having to loot them one by one

[restive sigil]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/itheons-auto-looter-v014

[dusky magnet]

Does anyone know if you can pass arguments to script functions in the <precondition> tags for dialog trees?

[celest forge]

Anyone knows how to make new parts compatible with Arti's WPO?

[latent swan]

I assumed that remote loot would open up an inventory screen with all the loot from all the bodies, but it doesn't show me what it loots

like, if I loot one body, I'd like all the items from all the nearby bodies to move to its inventory, so I can loot them all from one place

[analog blade]

This is my rough approximation of how to get my idea working (export the custom set ADS FOV so that it saves through different characters).... untested atm

[obsidian void]

New parts?

[celest forge]

YEah

I'm having an issue with one of my guns

I made new parts for it because it uses a special caliber

and some people with artis WPO say they're crashing with it

because the jamming script that uses

someone told me it may be related to my gun using new parts that aren't in vanilla

[blissful tartan]

where is meatchunk's prefetcher ?

[slow bolt]

In the mod list? You can just enable it for gamma

[blissful tartan]

oh like inside ok lmao thanks

[blissful tartan]

should i use prefetch thats already in modlist or grok's on mods posting

[naive snow]

Meatchunk's covers a lot of stuff already. Grok's is a little more complete for base gamma. To have absolutely everything you need to generate a clean list with something like pfgen. Check for it in the mod-posting thread

[blissful tartan]

aight thanks

[wicked latch]

hi guys, what are recommended zcp settings to disable 5 chimeras or 5 controllers spawning at once? I'm not an average quake 3 or doom player unfortunately

I have asked in #╓☢stalker-chat but there is some "code for the spawnable squads"

[slim crane]

HELP!!! will this code work and fix the problem? UGP Mod with Device Anomaly Redone? Or is there really no conflict between them?

because I have problems I can't open Inventory, I can't open PDA and when using weapons I can't AIM, shoot.. and a lot. like some or all of the buttons I tried didn't work.

previously I used MCM keywrapper to attach the PDA button "Shift+G" and everything was fine, but after I got the grenade I tried to open the PDA, it just threw the grenade and after that everything was messed up, some of the buttons didn't work as I said previously. and yeah, the grenades that should have been used up are still there if I scroll or press the button for grenades. because I only have 1 grenade. its like infinite but i cant use it.

I really believe this is because of a grenade, I've tried loading several save files and yes this is because of a grenade.
I've tried unbind everything and the problem still occurs. I don't want to start a new game.. shitt
even if I start a new game, this problem will still occur

[obsidian void]

what is the error?

[obsidian void]

interesting that it is crashing on line 154, considering in the script that line doesn't seem to conain the "missing_parts" function

[obsidian void]

Is anyone else having the same issue or is it one specific user?

[celest forge]

A lot of people apparently

[obsidian void]

can you replicate the crash?

[celest forge]

I don't even use WPO

but let me install it ig

[obsidian void]

https://tenor.com/view/confused-no-nope-gif-13134027

WPO is standard within GAMMA

stack trace:

Sure enough

[hardy hound]

better ask arti in anomaly discord

[celest forge]

I'm banned from there

So ig people with WPO can't use the gun

Which is weird, because people here say the gun works alright, so it works with GAMMA's wpo?

Idk

[hardy hound]

theres another arti channel in efp discord

[vale knot]

Why are you banned from anomaly

[celest forge]

I don't remember the actual thing the mod said

something regarding copy right laws or something

Pretty much for taking commissions basically

[obsidian void]

tht's why

the script I showed you is contained within GAMMA. as you can see, the line 154 doesn't line up to the error

[celest forge]

With the github wpo version and in that script this is the line

[obsidian void]

here is the script included with GAMMA reload unjam on the same key so you can compare them

my very first thought would be this: check your naming conventions on the parts compared to the other parts within WPO

[celest forge]

I took from FO4 modders?

Ah the fucking

[regal bolt]

Models.

[celest forge]

Automag I think?

[regal bolt]

Yep.

[naive snow]

@pearl sparrow Here's what you wanted, the ak74m beard with the same UBGL as the _n variant. I did all 27 scopes that come with it too. Should work, but I'm not sure I might have messed up the mod_system file for it. Let me know if that's the case.

[celest forge]

One gun out of like 80

but aight fair enough

I wonder if Domi ever emailed BSG and Activision and Dice like they said they would

[worn fiber]

@undone lily Can the feature of changing weapon's hit_power with weapon upgrades be restored in GAMMA or is it gone for good?

[random fulcrum]

imagine if they found out about the raptr being in gamma

[regal bolt]

[random fulcrum]

it's easier to cancel one literal who than to cancel a guy with a 400k people cult

[celest forge]

I don't think the RAPTR was a commission tho

[stiff robin]

how hard would it be to make epinephrine administered through gunslingers exo hud animation?

[slow bolt]

very easy

[obsidian void]

Can someone tell me the method to show a message on screen? Not a PDA message, but the floating text that just appears on top of the ui

[vale knot]

Uhhh try looking into raven's death message mod maybe?

[analog blade]

Man that’s pretty….

[pearl sparrow]

You're a legend, thank you! I'll poke around and see if something isn't right. Was it as simple as copying the values for the UBGL model from the regular AK74M? They're pretty much identical after all

[naive snow]

That's what I did for the ltx, but it's the fact the bone structure and placement is the same as the Ak74m-n so the grenade launcher animations can be used directly without too much issues. After that it's simply adding the actual grenade launcher model to the 27 models...

[obsidian void]

This one?

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

[vale knot]

Yee

[soft burrow]

a while ago I tried making this mod that gives you immunity to pseudogiant stomps while you are jumping but the on_before_hit processing was just too hard for me
so I'll just leave this here in case someone smarter and more proactive wants to give it a try

[random fulcrum]

but you do dodge giant stomps if you jump

it's already a feature

it's super hard to do because you have to be ascending when the stomp hits

[soft burrow]

EH

[stone ingot]

WHAT

[regal bolt]

I even forgot when I started to do that, honestly

[pearl sparrow]

Yep, it's a bit misleading, game only counts if you have started a jump as it hits

If you're already airborne it'll hit you, so you have to delay the jump more than you think

[obsidian void]

I just want to make a little PSA here that this mod adds a transition from north wild territory to grimwood and works on existing saves:

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/extra-transitions

[pearl sparrow]

JFC, thank you for the effort

Absolutely cursed x-ray jank, the fact that every variation of a model is entirely unique

[naive snow]

You could probably do something proper since there's a wpn_scope bone as part of every weapon. Parent and skin a scope model for every possible scope variant to a bone underneath that one and then hide everything except the right according to the attached piece. But custom bones hiding would probably require a exe modification. The initial implementation works fine when weapons had just 4 or 5 max optics. Stuff like the ak's having collimators and scopes just sends the whole scope of work out of the window.

[graceful sluice]

Someone pls add canned pineapples to the game) I can provide 3D model)))

🛐🛐🛐

[celest forge]

Very weird, specific thing to ask for lol

[obsidian void]

Into the Radius fan no doubt

[slow bolt]

Easily done, if you got the model with textures

[obsidian void]

Burn, could I make a request? Would you be willing to make like 10-20 copies of the poster model from Hideout Furniture Expansion so we may have a variety of poster textures? You can just leave the textures blank. I can add the items if you don't want to mess with that part

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/hideout-furniture-expansion

[naive snow]

What do you mean make copies?

[obsidian void]

Like, duplicate the model, rename it, give each model a unique texture name (they can just be copies of the original blank texture)

That way it is possible to make several different posters

[pearl sparrow]

unless i'm missing something, doesn't appear to work as is, probably mod_system file

the ogf files are correctly overwriting bas

[naive snow]

I'll see if I can find some time in the coming days

[naive snow]

Here use this, drop it in the same mod folder at the same spot as the mod system

[pearl sparrow]

oh thanks, was wondering if this file had anything to do with it

works a treat, thanks again

[naive snow]

Can you do me a favor? Can you delete the file I just gave you and instead move the mod_system_w_ak74M_beard_UBGL.ltx to be in the folder gamedata\configs instead of in gamedata\configs\items\weapons?

I wanna test if it was only an issue of path

[pearl sparrow]

can do

[pearl sparrow]

yep, seems to just be a path problem - it works fine

[naive snow]

Awesome, I'll correct the archive and reupload it here

[pearl sparrow]

the mod is glorious

jokes aside, this is unironically a good change as 5.45 is pretty lacking in utility, afaik this is the only weapon now that can take a ubgl, a laser, and both types of optics

[naive snow]

There you go

[pearl sparrow]

the worse stats compared to something like ak-12 variants gives it a nice niche

[slender whale]

Unless you mean specifically 5.45, the rd 939 has all of those too (I can't recall if it has a laser but I'm pretty sure)

Which would likely mean the rd 74 also would but I'd have to check

[pearl sparrow]

i said specifically 5.45 yes

the RD-74 only has access to picatinny sights, it doesn't have a dovetail mount

which is fine, it doesnt need one

but only a handful of guns in the game have access to optics from both factions

[slender whale]

Hm, weird that the 939 has both but the 74 doesn't, ohwell

[pearl sparrow]

i'm not sure why it keeps the dovetail mount from the as val either

def doesnt need one

[slender whale]

And excuse my confusion, the way the sentence was worded came acrossed as "545 needs more utility" "also this is the only weapon that has all of this"

Ack why was that a reply to my own

Mobile discord is ass

[pearl sparrow]

yeah i meant it was the only weapon in that calibre with all of those things

i dont think any in stock gamma do

[slender whale]

There's probably something obscure somewhere

[pearl sparrow]

I can check the 545s rn

[slender whale]

I only this playthrough found out that the amb17 existed

Also are you only counting natively 545 or convertable because that opens up more sillyness

[pearl sparrow]

only native, i dont count 556 guns that have been converted, because its irrelevant

just checked its the only one, ak-74 pmc is close but doesnt have ubgl since it has a foregrip instead

[slender whale]

Some of the 101s take both optics, if those can be caliber converted they might fit your bill lol

But that's enough clogging up this channel with nonsense

[undone lantern]

Figured this might be the best place to ask this, but if not my bad. Anyway, does anyone know if the animations for the epipen and fentanyl are able to be overwritten with another animation in files?

[graceful sluice]

Idk what is radius, I just love canned pineapples)))

https://tenor.com/view/skeptical-futurama-fry-hmmm-i-got-my-eyes-on-you-gif-17101711

[graceful sluice]

Now blender part

Gonna just stratch this texture on low poly cylinder)

[cunning wigeon]

I am making a improvement weapon mod for the vanilla games weapons basically I am improving the weapons like the recoil should be much lower so it doesn’t point to the sky and be a bit more realistic, changing the fire rates for pistols and semi autos to be much faster, adding fire modes like full auto and burst to pistols and semi auto rifles

The process of testing the weapon changes and changing them is a bit tedious so it’s going to take a while

because anomaly doesn’t have a functional weapons stats modifier that actually work at all seriously they need to fix this

[hardy hound]

something similar has been posted some time back, may be what you want
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/alternative-weapon-balance-reworked-silencers-scopes

[surreal gust]

Galogen light test

[cunning wigeon]

This is interesting but I think I will continue on my own

Did you make a photo of your screen? Because it looks like it is glowing.

[celest forge]

How many tris is that

[worn fiber]

Looks like hundreds. There is a picture above.

[graceful sluice]

I'm now scratching it on low poly model

[worn fiber]

Or optimised already?

[graceful sluice]

Using texture baking

[graceful sluice]

Not yet but I'm doing

[worn fiber]

Perfect.

No FPS drops guaranteed.

[graceful sluice]

Finally

Now it got 100500% smaller poly count

Some texture editing, and it done

I removed the seem

[graceful sluice]

🛐🛐🛐

Maybe I can use can model and some animations from this mod?

Who is author?

[slim crane]

where i can find ground/road/asphalt texture?

[graceful sluice]

You mean from gamma?

[graceful sluice]

@fossil birch is this your mod?

[slim crane]

yes, from gamma or wherever.. I want to change that only. I tried to mix several textures. and that part hasn't changed.

[graceful sluice]

@naive snow

[naive snow]

Well your engine files are messed up bud

You're missing your compile and shader file

If you want all your textures and everything you also have to launch your blender through MO2, you add it as an executable

If you want to work it properly you need to go in your Anomaly folder, insde of Tools, you'll find a Unpackall.bat run that but be aware you need some 20 gig of extra space for it to extract. Once that's done you want to go in the newly created _unpacked folder and you'll have your shader files in there and the rest of the folders like ,objects

[graceful sluice]

Like that?

[naive snow]

Don't forget to set the Start In folder patg

[graceful sluice]

NO WAY, FINALLY!!!

I successfully opened model, without purple textures

My mistake was that I linked blender steam incon, instead of blender.exe

And also unpackaged folder in tools

[naive snow]

Neat, well done!

[graceful sluice]

Please can you make me customized version of this gun? Like you did with "AK-74 Beard" before.
I collected everything on one model, it's custom SVU from mod, with March F scope, RMR top sight, red PEQ-15 lazer, 20 round magazine and with possibility to put M203 on bottom rail.
In what way I can send you all this to make it possible put in stalker?

@naive snow with top sight placed like that.

[naive snow]

Do you already have an ltx file and animations for it?

I can assemble the model for you yeah, but I'm not doing animation work or creating an ltx from scratch

[slow bolt]

You also need a can model and texture, including the insides

While preserving the bone groups

Then it can be used with the existing animation and just work

And you get a can of pineapples

[celest forge]

No way that can take an M203 lmao

Atleast not unless someone makes those animations

[dusty skiff]

Unfinished preview of new loading screen design Ive been working on...

[graceful sluice]

You can put M203 on everything that have Pikatini rail)

[graceful sluice]

Yes, I took this model from one mod, it already animated and working.

[graceful sluice]

What files I need send to you to make it? I gonna pack my blender project with textures, and original mod on Google drive, and then gonna give you a link.

[fair canopy]

Putting the scopes on it is easy. But it uses the basic svu animations. The m203 won't work unless the base animations for the svu have grenade launcher animations which I doubt they do

You'd need to reanimate the the svu to account for the grenade launcher

[celest forge]

Not if it doesn't have animations dude

Lmao

[graceful sluice]

I mean in reality)

[celest forge]

Why would I be talking about reality when you were asking for people to do it in game

[graceful sluice]

I was talking that it got pikatini mount, so it physically compatible.

Yeah but not in stalker

But maybe we can use animation from l95 tactical?

It bullpup, and got grenade launcher

[uncut adder]

my sleepy mind reads it as 'bikini' rail, yeahhh i hope i can put them on my gun...

[craggy phoenix]

would anyone know of anything like that one addon that allows online chat, I was curious about tuning it to connecting a webhook for discord or even send say twitch live stream chat to that. Whats the name of that addon, if anyone wants to help work on it, i think it would be pretty cool especially for content creators and keeping up with friends here in Discord (GAMMA, Anomaly, EFP) i have extensive python experience but havent looked into anything.

[random fulcrum]

chernobyl relay chat

there was a guy some moons back that also was working on the twitch integration

might also want to check the buttplug integration too

[naive snow]

Oh yeah that was a thing

[regal bolt]

You can still download it

[craggy phoenix]

lol im gonna have to check that out.. and the... butt..pl..plug integration? what is it sending PDA vibrations to my anus?

[kindred tiger]

wtf

To each their own... I guess

[surreal gust]

New base test

Plus new assets (boxes)

This is pre-compiled.

Is there any mod to connect Spotify with PDA in game?

[regal bolt]

[slender whale]

pft

[slender whale]

Honestly I wouldnt hate that, given how unreliable the pda radio itself is

[covert skiff]

Did anyone tinker with RTX Remix for Gamma?

I try to make it work but with little success. Replaced DX9 dlls but seems to have 0 effect. (in 3 places)

Wait does Stalker Gamma even use fixed pipeline rendering lmao?

[random fulcrum]

why ask here and not in the anomaly discord lil bro

gamma is just a soup for anomaly, which is the game you're playing

[covert skiff]

That's true, will ask there

I saw discussion about this in the OpenX-Ray project but it escalated to reverting to Fixed Pipeline and such as far as I saw so I'm a bit skeptical about it. If that's even a thing tho since as I gather more and more info about this, the less this thing seems to make sense.

[dusty skiff]

Anyone wanna weigh in, thoughts on how I should go about handling the color/highlights for the border section?

[lethal garden]

Which line affects bullet spread? help would be appreciated. Automatic fire with this weapon is extremely inaccurate

[naive snow]

Dispersion base probably

[lethal garden]

Alright, should I increase or lower the values to reduce spread?

Thanks btw!!

[naive snow]

Just test it out. You can quickly reload a file via F7> numpad 0 > f5

[grim veldt]

Lower the squad size to 0.5 and variance to 0, if you want to find more random mutants while exploring (making yourself suffer) raise the random squad chance

Also you can disable certain mutants from appearing in squads

They won't stop spawning completely, just won't appear in groups

For your specific issue, disable controllers and chimeras

[surreal gust]

Anomaly uses an old version of open xray

And they combined it with last day engine which is coc and then reforked it into monolith engine

Recent versions of open xray have dierectxtex support + bc7 and other features

extended ai map support

And those are the features that anomaly does not have

[tame bane]

anyone that can teach me to animate a weapon?

[celest forge]

[tame bane]

hm

any program I could use?

i can figure the rest out, probavly

[naive snow]

Blender and the xray addon

[tame bane]

xray addon? can i get a link

i really wish to change up one gun in gamma, so I wish to learn

[naive snow]

Buddy if you can't even google that much you are in for a world of hurt

[tame bane]

[naive snow]

There you go, I knew you could do it

You can search in this channel how to set it up properly

[surreal gust]

Maximum hemisphere quality result

[tame bane]

huh.

if anyone has a bit time to spare to instruct me on how to guide me a bit, would be much appreciated. have some great ideas

[surreal gust]

This is my custom map if you didn't know.

[tame bane]

i see

wish you luck mate

[surreal gust]

Thanks

My homie that im teaching how to make maps for anomaly compiled this

So I'm going to test this build soon

[tame bane]

i want to make a custom weapon, like modified vityaz and i need help with animating and desing, like how to implement it

and also, dual magazines if possible, might be tricky but i just need to learn the basics so i can go further

[lethal garden]

Working on changing PSO colors! pain in the ass though

[barren laurel]

so I now there are new models for like Hip and Beard but are there any other or is anyone working on the other main npc's

[naive snow]

You should fix that specular map, this is waaay too harsh

[naive snow]

Anyone knows how the game handles two hud models when a detector or device is used with a weapon out? Could you have more than two hud models out at a given time?

[rigid meteor]

Just a question, since the engine is now x64 is there a chance of it being able to properly handle 3D scanned trees? I'm not talking Unreal Engine 5's nanite level of performance and detail, but even a higher poly set of good trees would help this game pop big time.

[left hearth]

anyone know what file controls the helicopter behaviour?

[fresh ibex]

is there a way to add a damagae multiplier to only head eye damage?

[random fulcrum]

there already is one

[fresh ibex]

Ik but i want to change it so its more realistic because nobody (unless wearing a alton or face armor) should be able to live after getting head eyed especially if the head eye area is unarmored

[worn fiber]

Right now there is the same damage multiplier for head and eyes. It's x3.65.

And if the face is exposed, the damage goes through.

[fresh ibex]

okie

but how would i edit the multiplier

[worn fiber]

C:\G.A.M.M.A\mods\G.A.M.M.A. Close Quarter Combat\gamedata\scripts\grok_bo.script

I think this one.

That's only the damage dealing part.

[random fulcrum]

mf boutta make it on the hundreds and a sinlge buckshot pellet will instagib the mob

[worn fiber]

Only after armor break.

[random fulcrum]

come on

not with me

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/958342885005221898/1195534644079251486/trevor.gif?ex=65b45767&is=65a1e267&hm=13199fdbe81b3db16e2aecb8a6ed211ddb602e446609cf9f3442e02b4e193617&

[worn fiber]

What saddens me about ballistics overhaul is that weapon upgrades no longer change the weapon damage.

[random fulcrum]

but it does

[worn fiber]

Nope.

[random fulcrum]

bruh

it reads from weapon params

which in turns reads from a class cast

which in turn has like all the updated info on a given item

upgrades don't change hit_power

[worn fiber]

Ok. Do a Kriss Vector conversion to 9x19 and see what weapon power value is.

[random fulcrum]

the reading comprehension anomaly

[worn fiber]

Yeah. You can't change the weapon damage through upgrade. You only have the ammo damage modifier.

As if it just reads the value from the weapon file and doesn't see any upgrade effects.

[fresh ibex]

im at most putting it at 6

[worn fiber]

Only Counterstrike does x4 head damage. I don't know any other game where it would be higher.

[fresh ibex]

Tarkov

[worn fiber]

Isn't it becasue of separate body parts?

[fresh ibex]

Tarkov damage calculation formula is so convuluted

[fresh ibex]

yes

[worn fiber]

NPCs have one general health value.

[fresh ibex]

I see

when the tarkov mod being added

[worn fiber]

We have BHS but that's only for players to use more meds.

It damages random parts of your body.

[fresh ibex]

How hard would it be to add different hit boxes for each body part than attatch a health bar for each body part that in total add up to the max character/npc health

then create a rule if the thorax or the head drops to 0 said entity dies

[worn fiber]

Judging by the fact that nobody did this yet. Very hard.

Also who cares about the individual body parts health when you are about to kill 40 Monolith NPCs?

[fresh ibex]

Cause i want to be able to head eyes them for a instant kill

unless unless its like a singular pellet froma shotgun which in that case no

[worn fiber]

That won't happen if NPC has head protection.

[fresh ibex]

ok and

[worn fiber]

And SIN faction has a magic bullet protection.

[fresh ibex]

huh

[worn fiber]

You are not the only one to use ballistic protection artefacts.

[fresh ibex]

i should prob start using artefacts more lol

[naive snow]

@random fulcrum @celest forge Turns out the script is/will be unnecessary. It's already been coded. It's going to be part of anomaly 1.6
Lua scripts don't have the ability to spawn hud files so it needs to be done via engine modification.

Hello. I would like to get into modding for Stalker GAMMA. How to get into it? I would like to know what is possible with modding for this game. Is there any tutorial for it online? Just how to start and what can I expect.

I would like to make myself some new areas/maps also. Is there any editor or something like this to create new areas? Thanks!

[random fulcrum]

there are 3 people in the entire anomaly scene that know how maps work

one is an anomaly developer

one is banned from this server

and the third one posts in this channel regularly but is still creating his first map

[celest forge]

Xcvb is banned?

[untold patio]

Damn people get banned here actually?

[celest forge]

[untold patio]

Do you make your own maps? I want to get into it and I can't even find anywhere an editor for stalker like yours

[surreal gust]

This is the first map im making

Most mappers for anomaly port maps from other mods

And I decided to make my own

The sdk is called hybridxray

[untold patio]

I want to make a map too but Don't know where to start

[surreal gust]

You can find it in anomaly modding book

[surreal gust]

You should watch tutorials for the sdk

Whatever language it is

You can use the subtitles to understand better

[untold patio]

hybridxray is already in anomaly files?

[surreal gust]

No

You download it from the modding bool

Dear god I didn't know monolith engine was such a Frankenstein

[ivory void]

What am I supposed to do when opening OGF Viewer on AXR toolset and it displays this error message? "gamedata/scripts/Config.lua:7 Syntax error: user_config.lua:3:" I was messing around to find the texture for the Fracture monster model, found some textures on one of the mods on the gamma/mods folder and set the viewer to that, it started displaying that right after

[woven terrace]

Please just install blender, then the pavelblend plugin. Then import the ogf.
Look at my video description, where I linked all the required tools and softwares.
You find my how-to video also in the modding book btw

[ivory void]

Comprehensive tutorial? Gotcha, so the hell with AXR lol

[naive snow]

The axrtoolset to properly work needs to be launched through MO2 and pointing to your anomaly gamedata folder with the anomaly db files unpacked into a new mod.

But yeah like lunatic said, it's easier to check textures directly on models in Blender

[ivory void]

I see, well, my intention is to get the models and use them for short stalker films I wanna make.

[naive snow]

Then yeah Blender is your best option, you'll be able to export then as .fbx or .obj depending on what you need

[ivory void]

Brilliant! Thank you!

[woven terrace]

But you'll have to reverse engineer the bump maps to get the roughness and normal maps. Plus you'll have to create your own metal maps (might be irrelevant for creatures).

[hearty plinth]

anyone know how to make the shot kick smaller?

[frigid folio]

anyone how to move minimap from right down corner to left ? In that guide in faq is nothing about moving from corner to corner, just make minimap squared not circle.

[ivory void]

So I might be missing something, but I'm having trouble with setting pavelblend, and when I open any model, it just shows tiny bones

[woven terrace]

Screenshot please

[woven terrace]

Did you import ogf?

[ivory void]

I have tried both import and viewer

[woven terrace]

Setup looks good imo. Restart blender. Some addons Need a restart

[ivory void]

Have been doing that since last night

[woven terrace]

Only import via the import menu will let you open ogf

[ivory void]

I also get this when trying to import

[woven terrace]

Ah shit. We'll get there. Try something simple first. Like a wpn. Have you properly unpacked all DB files first?

[ivory void]

I used the unpacker that came with gamma

[woven terrace]

Aah you are on blender 4.

Use blender 3.6.x

Pavelblend has known issues with blender 4

[ivory void]

[woven terrace]

I use 3.6.5. Works like a charm

[ivory void]

Gotcha, you also mentioned earlier something about the bump and normals. Any pointer on that before I do a silly mistake like using the wrong blender version? lol

[woven terrace]

Get it working first. Then watch my video. Where I explain in detail how to get from normal to bump. You basically need to do the reverse. Study it and ping me if unclear. 👍

[ivory void]

roger roger

[ivory void]

Got it to work! This gonna take a while tho

[woven terrace]

Yes it will!
Good hunting stalker!

[ivory void]

Just one last thing. Are all levels available to be imported? Like cordon? One of my films will take place at the military road block

Or will I need to just go sight seeing and model it myself?

[stuck spear]

I believe this should "fix" busyhands (most. It's possible I missed some stuff, busyhands is multiple bugs). I know this isn't the modposting channel, but I don't want to cause extra burden with bug reports, so I'm posting here first. I have not yet been able to trigger busyhands with this, but can easily trigger without it. Have ~1 hours playtime with no issues. This also returns the ability to enable animations to the MCM menu. See script file for explanation.

[slow bolt]

1 hours of playtime witohut busyhands means nothing

people complete playthroughs with all the animations enabled

others get busyhands within 30 minutes

[stuck spear]

Yes, this is why I posted it here

However, as stated, I can reproduce it 100% of the time without the mod, and I have not been able to reproduce it with the mod

Bit early I know, but I'd prefer to not see half the modlist removed over "busyhands"

Only solution is to fix FDDA, or remove FDDA

[slow bolt]

only some animations are removed from fdda, that is it

but if it works - it works

would be nice

[stuck spear]

Yeah, it's just that busyhands is largely impacted by stutters, and anomaly without any mods stutters 😆

So really, anything can trigger busyhands, which sucks

[soft burrow]

is monkey patching mods with mcm harder than without or what

[random fulcrum]

doesn't really affect anything

[soft burrow]

can't figure out what I'm doing wrong
my monkey patch attempt doesn't work

Not hard to do

[graceful sluice]

62 Dmg, 20 round mag, 300RPM 3-20x scope + RMR on top.

It gonna be so cool

[fair canopy]

Gross, rmr

[graceful sluice]

Tall can with 12 pineapple rings, or smaller one with 8?

I think there can't be enough pineapples, so bigger one.

[graceful sluice]

Skip to 7:20
https://youtu.be/YD2AV9o9nSU?si=vf61zz3n9Y9I4JZb

[slow bolt]

Good enough for the world model

But for the FDDA to work with it you gotta retexture and\or slightly remodel the cans they got

By creating your own you might as well create your own anims

[graceful sluice]

One dude said that he gonna help me with that

[fair canopy]

That's not in game though

[graceful sluice]

In game you can't brake anything)

But I still like the design

[fair canopy]

That's all you had to say

[slow bolt]

For the argument: all reflex sights will be more reliable than the gun itself, holos too

[slow bolt]

awful

[graceful sluice]

Who placed aimpoint on glock 💀

And this with C-more

This website is cursed

[celest forge]

[graceful sluice]

Why you hate RMR?

Should I reduce poly count?

Or it doesn't matter because it on screen only for few seconds of animation, and not gonna seriously reduce FPS?

[slow bolt]

omg that is so ass

[slow bolt]

lower is better

you are not gonna see it

[graceful sluice]

[slender whale]

Oh nice, is the animation going to be eating the pineapp with a knife?

[buoyant jackal]

Has ZCP in the past tied its scattered loot option to respawn ever, and has anyone attempted to tie in scattered loot generation with emissions?

My insticts say I shouldn't do any attempt to create scattered loot respawn options with the thought it will inevitable be volatile AF, but generating once just doesn't feel optimal.

[graceful sluice]

Yeah, poking and swallowing 4 rings at once, then doing it again, and in the end drinking all syrup in one take)

[slow bolt]

who would be doing it?

didnt think there would be someone making an animation for a pineapple can

If only someone could make the animations for the surgery kits,survival kit

[graceful sluice]

You probably can borrow them from tarkov)

[graceful sluice]

Week ago someone said that he gonna do it, if I have can and pineapple model

O, it's you!

Hello

@fair canopy

[fair canopy]

You're welcome for the base gun

[graceful sluice]

Next I planning to make longer MLOK handguard, like on CYMA airsoft gun:

[fair canopy]

Oh it's real

[graceful sluice]

Well, only in airsoft)

Real SVU is so rare, that you can't buy them anywhere, even hard to find just reference pictures for model, not saying about mods for this gun)

You made this model, or you took it from somewhere?

[fair canopy]

I just took the hand guard from bas and adjusted it as needed and modified the textures a bit

It's the base svu from anomaly

[graceful sluice]

I very wanted SVU like this airsoft one, and I searched for your mod for a long time, because I only had this picture from internet:

And one dude from the server said that he know your mod name

[fair canopy]

Yup. I made that a year ago. Ita probably in some mod packs too. Haven't seen anyone else try to remodel the svu

I've done a few guns for fun

[graceful sluice]

Yeah, I searched for it in many games, and no one have variant with Mlok handguard, everyone just "screwing" Pikatini rails in plastic handguard

R6, CoD, Ghost recon

[fair canopy]

That last one looks like a smaller caliber mag even

[slow bolt]

Thats because mlok is bad

Its funny because to use mlok you gotta adapt to picantinny rail, which removes the entire point of mlok on most things

[graceful sluice]

It way lighter, and It doesn't catch stuff around you, and don't rip your clothes (Picatini rails sometimes can be very sharp). Also you can use quick detachable mounts, to quickly clip handguards, bipod or flashlight.

And it easier to clean

[slow bolt]

fair

[graceful sluice]

https://youtube.com/shorts/Cc8_OX-qTOg?si=ftO_cu0Vxlg3aWkS

Next I planning to add MDRX in .308

And also probably it's 556 version with extended mag:

[random fulcrum]

you doing your own models or are digging through sketchfab

[graceful sluice]

There is one mod with it, but it abandoned, and in not so good quality.

[graceful sluice]

Something I making myself, and something I taking from internet.

In example, I 3D scanned pineapple, reduced poly count, fixed textures and added normal map, but took can model from internet and just added solidify modifier to it, and separated the lid.

[random fulcrum]

jesus christ the 3 trillion polycount slice will never be not funny

[graceful sluice]

I just made hollow same sized cylinder, and projected texture of high poly model on it

[slow bolt]

Most optimised game release since 2022:

[graceful sluice]

Chaotic high poly count is biggest problem of 3d scans, or their biggest plus if look from different side.

[graceful sluice]

I don't know how they made it, but in cyberpunk if you zoom in photo mode, you can see skin of your character in smallest details, like it got 69k resolution texture

Also guns are extremely detailed, even on other side that you usually can't see. I can read absolutely all small letters on it.

Probably they use original, unoptimized models for super close LOD

[graceful sluice]

Saddest thing, that after 5 years of production, just yesterday Desert Tech discontinued MDRX, and now they selling simplified variant without forward ejection, that also have 50 less parts.

And they called new rifle "Wolverine", bruh, CoD ahh name

[buoyant jackal]

They use a ton of techniques together, one is first they make props IRL that they then scan in for models, then create textures before compressing and downscaling the texture itself. It retains a similar appearance while being more performance friendly. They also have several different texture sets depending on your settings.

You can say no, but they literally state this is what they do. And I trust them to not lie quartermaster.

[slow bolt]

idk what mdrx even is

[worn quartz]

bullpup gun

[slow bolt]

MDR is a bullpup, so it looses points regardless

[slow bolt]

that goes for MDR too

the difference between mdr and mdrx

Only cool thing about the MDR is 7.62x51 caliber option

that is about it

[worn quartz]

ok

[naive snow]

That's because they use a runtime virtual texturing pipeline, you basically only stream in the necessary texture resolution for what you see, but you have effectively infinite texture resolution over your models.

[graceful sluice]

I'm playing on ultra, with high lighting settings, and my PC somehow carrying it on 40-70 fps, my RX580 is heating up to near 100°C, and my one extra Hz overclocked i7-3770 fan sounds like drone, but it somehow works. I also stripped all covers from case, for better airflow, and it gave +10~20 fps

[buoyant jackal]

I only play on high because of my texture mods.

[graceful sluice]

I got a lot of mods, but they just adding more features, without new textures and models.

[buoyant jackal]

There's a few good gameplay mods, definitely. I really like this survival one I use called...one sec, ill say its name then we should move the discussion elsewhere because its wrong topic area.

[graceful sluice]

Because of my PC randomly started blacking out, and giving blue screen, I bought twice more powerful PSU, and it became way more stable.

[buoyant jackal]

"https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/7510" this one

its really good, you can configure it to whatever you want

which I like

only suffer penalties at under 70% if you want, or start immediately suffering it, decide the time

sleep in your car

immserively eat food at vendors

yeah

really good

[slow bolt]

Unless tehy optimised the game - that aint possible

The game after the 2.0 update ran like ass

i played on low with FSR upscaling(barely gave any FPS). Game was CPU bound like crazy

And my CPU is better

So i dont see how that is possible

[graceful sluice]

Nah, just by swapping barrels you can change from .308 (7,62x51) to 6.5 creedmore, and by also changing to light bolt group you can shoot 556, 223 and .300 blackout.

[slow bolt]

Yes, but its a bullpup

[graceful sluice]

I didn't updated yet, still playing on last pre 2.0 version.

1.83 probably

[slow bolt]

Nothing can save a bullpup

[slow bolt]

ah, well there you go

[graceful sluice]

They are guns of future

[slow bolt]

There i played on med-high jsut fine

[slow bolt]

they are not

They have too many problems for being a good all-round rifle

yeah mosd will scream at us eventually

[tawny stream]

They were the guns of the future in the late seventies

Love me a bullpup tho

[random fulcrum]

how would you single out fall damage

and actually isolate it

knowing that poltergeist throws are strike damage inflicted by the actor

which is the case with fall damage

[slow bolt]

I subscribe to that question

[random fulcrum]

okay so

bhs has this bit where it says that fall damage gets redirected to legs

pointing that if the bone hit was 0 it's fall damage

didn't trust that at face value tho

so i went into the source code and yeah

it's that

fall damage always goes to bone id 0

[slow bolt]

Well damn

bhs = good?

[random fulcrum]

xcvb had a hand in it

so you know

it might have been him

Can somebody explain why we have a billion guns and an Ultra HD texture for a bloosuckers asscheeks, but it takes me 3 minutes to get up 6 stairs?

It can't be that hard to fix this guys, every pixel/polygon on the ground slows down your character

[regal bolt]

It's my understanding that the stairs aren't ramps, whereas other games stick with ramps that look like stairs.

[sullen knot]

Same, but why did nobody tackle this issue?

[regal bolt]

It's a fairly minor inconvenience in game, and that it is likely a huge headache to "fix".

[sullen knot]

I doubt it's harder than 80% of mods we have now, but I cannot know for sure

[celest forge]

Because turning them into ramps would imply to manually edit every single stair in all maps and then compile them all again

[regal bolt]

Most of the mods come about due to an individual becoming so frustrated with something that it must be changed.

[sullen knot]

God throwing yet another challenge for my character development 😄

[regal bolt]

I don't know why others do it, but I know when something gets under my skin I try to change it. It's always been part of the fun of games for me. I do little to no "coding", but if I can expose images/artwork I can change them.

[celest forge]

Did you ever notice how there are basically no mods adding new maps or overall changing the geometry of the maps

It's because the map compiler of the engine anomaly uses apparently got lost to time

So there's like 3 people in the entire community that know how to do that

[sullen knot]

I need addresses and IPs

[celest forge]

And while maybe that'll come some day, I doubt their priority is changing the stairs

[sullen knot]

That was a damn good explanation, thanks!

[regal bolt]

Hello there everyone, anyone has any experience in changing Gunslinger meshes texture path? I commonly use AXR toolset, but Gunsliger meshes can't be loaded or edited using the tool

[vale knot]

Honestly gunslinger shit is just weird

I tried giving the toz34 an ammo check by using the existing "unjam" animation as the ammo check but it just broke everytime

I think theyre cursed

[fair inlet]

damn using unjam anim for inspection is smart, now I want to try to use it for anm_bore at least

[fair canopy]

Try importing into blender and exporting as an ogf

[celest forge]

Ogf editor is better for that imo

[naive snow]

Yes they can, just load AXRtoolset via your MO2 and navigate to your Anomaly/gamedata/meshes/

[vale knot]

Its literally perfect you just quickly open and close the action but i for the life of me couldnt get it to work

The gunslinger makarov also has a perfect inspect anim to use as an ammo check

[naive snow]

Have you tried copying the timings and animation queue of the actual unjam?

[vale knot]

I literally copied exactly how its used for the unjam but just pointed it at the "ammo check"

So gave it an ammo check but told it to use the unjam exactly the same

[naive snow]

Is it a single animation or a anim, 1sec, another anim ?

[vale knot]

I might of missed something idk i had juan check the ltx and they couldnt find anything

[naive snow]

Could also be something to do in the actual HUD animation or something else overriding as part of the unjam inspect script?

[vale knot]

if u wanna check it

i basically copied exactly how firebreath did it for the spas12 but just told the ltx to use the "misfire" anim

what would happen in game with this is if you pressed ammo check nothing would happen and it would lock up not letting you ammo check again

[naive snow]

Ummm alright let me get to my rig and I'll have a look

[vale knot]

im super unfamiliar with animations and shiet but i thought this would be simple enough to implement

[blazing hull]

hey does anyone know why a modded weapon wont show up in a new game loadout screen even though i have it installed?

Because it wasnt added to new game loadouts

you gave it 2 out of 3 values needed

Make a DLTX file to make sure whatever you are doing isnt overwritten

Assuming you are doing it only for free stalkers ofc

[blazing hull]

THANKS

@slow bolt ok so after making that DLTX file and putting everything where i wanted it for some reason its three guns that refuse to work any idea why?

[slow bolt]

three guns? what do you mean?

What exactly did you do?

[random fulcrum]

4 slot wide and above guns can't appear in new game loadouts

because they're too big

[blazing hull]

thats stupid

[random fulcrum]

yeah but i mean it makes sense considering the original ui design for anomaly

[blazing hull]

its still dumb and many things about this game confuse me and i HATE it

[mint ginkgo]

yo you guys are smart, i have been fucking around with some mods and the console, but i have no clue what this is and if i can stop it

it seems to be my fps

but i cant find any setting or command to disable it

[random fulcrum]

search for printf("0") in .script files

[mint ginkgo]

the ones in the gamedata i assume?

must be one of the mods i eddited and added then hmm thanks gonna look

[random fulcrum]

nah

search over gamma\mods\

in .script files

for that line

[blazing hull]

question would there be ANY way to fix the ui problem to allow bigger guns or im i just fucked?

[random fulcrum]

haven't looked at the ui script that much really

dig through

fafo

[blazing hull]

what ui would be the NGS

[mint ginkgo]

it should be 0 right?

[random fulcrum]

or O

idk

[mint ginkgo]

i mean ther should be nothing at all probably

[random fulcrum]

rather i'd look for scripts that use actor_on_update

and look if they print something constantly

[mint ginkgo]

hmm thats a good one

[random fulcrum]

because that 0 can be anything

[mint ginkgo]

yea i pieced that togheter now hahaha

but since it is printin 0

or a value that comes back as 0

thanks

ill figure it out from here

yoooo i found it

thanks man

some mod was printing my speed hence the 0 when i was in the console

[blazing hull]

i hate everything

especially about this game

[mint ginkgo]

poor fella

[surreal gust]

It's every man for himself in the zone

[vast zodiac]

I'd like to clarify the text of the Amass Equipment for Freedom Infiltration mission. There's several threads where people have gotten hung up on it because of the mission description

this seems to be where the quest is generated: https://github.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA/blob/d65c3eaf28f4e28b607f047a09b7a5b4ef3b7dd1/G.A.M.M.A/modpack_addons/G.A.M.M.A. Quests Rebalance/gamedata/configs/misc/task/tm_military.ltx#L508-L541

Can anyone help figure out where the quest description text is hosted or generated? Thanks in advance, just getting my bearings with this codebase

[lethal garden]

Is there any way to tell what parts of this texture map apply to which parts of a model? Trying to retexture parts of this weapon but I CANNOT figure out what the hell is what

[celest forge]

No way to know unless you uv unwrap the model in something like blender

[naive snow]

Without a proper uv layout image or checking in your blender where each vertex is mapped to

[vale knot]

I was gonna say i got blender to wrap the texture for me once on accident

And if i hovered with my mouse itd show me on the model where that part was

[blazing hull]

@stone jasper can you tell me how to increase the allowed weapon size for the new game ui?

[dusty skiff]

Working on recompiling the engine in vs studio 2022 to test some changes to see if I can get a cfg file working for my custom loading screens project and it keeps popping error e1696 cannot open source file "stdafx.h" any thoughts or directions? Built a functioning exe just fine before attempting to make any changes.

[slow bolt]

guess you dont have that file

[river fjord]

@gritty raptor nope, thats a modpack specific issue, not a problem with my mod sorry.
(I cant type in the #╓☢stalker-chat channel for some stupid reason)

[naive snow]

You could ask Demonized. He's the one doing the modded exes

[dusty skiff]

Had reached out to him a while ago about the project and never got a response.

[dusty skiff]

Its in every one of the "folders"

[naive snow]

Try asking in the Anomaly server for the general modding or the code modding channel

[dense kite]

Im trying to find where stalker base game (anomaly) scripts are, there are a few files in gamedata/scripts/ but they are tiny and files that are supposed to be there (like _g.script) arent there... so... where are they?

[misty mulch]

you have to unpack the databases

if you only want scripts, run Anomaly/tools/db_unpacker.bat

they will get spat out in a folder called _unpacked

[dense kite]

can I ask a request

.bat cannot be run on linux - is there a zip or can somebody be kind enough to send along a zip?

I will attempt to run it on wine, may or may not work

[random fulcrum]

@dense kite

[dense kite]

legendary, thank you

[dense kite]

Seems its got comments in ukranian... wish I could read it, thatd make this so much easier

[blissful tartan]

is there any eft styled ui ?

[vale knot]

Yeah its called the default

Literally styled like eft

[naive snow]

Use google translate

[vague sphinx]

@thin kelp Hi, I'm currently using Blender to get a png visual of all stalker models in a database (based on Fixed Vanilla Models), and I was wondering how you went with your Character Kit

I'd like to be able to mix two models to create one, for exemple using the face of one model and the trenchcoat of another model to make an extra "variant"

The goal in the end is to restore a sense of faction identity to each faction, but some models are very much doing the opposite body wise so if I could somehow puy the face on another body outfit that would solve the issue

[thin kelp]

so you want to change the whole head, or just the face of a model x, and apply that face to model y?

oh face from one, body from another to a z

[vague sphinx]

Pretty much just the face, say the models have two different trenchcoats and hoods and two different faces, I'm thinking of having the possibility to use the face of model x with the unique trenchcoat and hood of model y

It's mostly for 3 factions that I'm touching, Renegade, Bandits and Sin

[thin kelp]

the face is easy, because most head models share the same texture that apply to the head, there are some differences of course if the model is originally from SHOC/CS or from COP, you would just change the face texture, and make sure you are applying the correct bump map to it

i know for a fact that i re-use the same head model as much as possible so changing the head texture (faces) is easier. But there are exeptions because some unique character heads from CS/COP will have unique bumps

so it sounds like you would just need to find a suitable body and just flip the head texture to what you prefer

[vague sphinx]

Hmm, well I think most of the ones from Fixed Vanilla Models are from CoP but I may be wrong

[wary scroll]

@naive snow sorry for ping you I have a question
Is it possible completely charging models without destroying ai ?
Like changing cars and apcs, or interiors
For example Imagine a kitchen in your mind. We try to add different components to it so that they don't have a physical state, a table, the table on it, a glass, a plate and a photo frame. Now, for example, we can pass through the table and items. But to make it more natural, we will build an invisible wall around the table so that no one can enter it.

It's a Stupid question I don't even know the basics for this but if it's possible I will learn it and make a small map.

[vague sphinx]

Exactly that, I know which body and face I want, it's really down to how to do it

[thin kelp]

easy way to check is to look at the texture of the head of the character, and cross reference with other similarly organized/structured/appearence heads

[vague sphinx]

Since my Blender experience is literally limited to display a t posing model and its textures

[thin kelp]

thats all you should need for what you want to do

[vague sphinx]

So there's no really copy paste option I guess ?

[naive snow]

You want to build a map or just add a custom furniture to the Hideout Furniture mod?

[naive snow]

Not without having to rebind the skin to the armature no

[thin kelp]

so just

• Find model you want to change face
• Find texture name of the head
• Find similarly named head textures
• Switch texture of head to desired new one (Make sure bump map is appropriate)
• Apply either in blender, or in AXR, or in SDK (you can make a copy of the model and apply a new name to integrate it into the spawning list or not)

[thin kelp]

not really?

but it still should be relatively easy to accomplish

[wary scroll]

No I want to know is it possible to do this to every map not as hideout furniture
If it's not then is it possible for custom maps without any problem ? For example ai
As I heard ai can get broken

[naive snow]

Making map is a crazy and complex tasks that requires lost knowledge. So no, editing existing maps is impossible at the moment

[vague sphinx]

So basically give the model a texture to load for the head similar to the one it has to trick it into thinking it's his new head texture ?

Also how do I make sure bump map is good ?

[naive snow]

just make sure the THM file has it properly referenced

[thin kelp]

1. basically yea, we are just giving it a new texture instead of the old one basically.

2. visually compare, if the bump map is visually similar in terms of texture (I.E not a bump map for a full balaklava face or not)

and the thm file yes

[wary scroll]

So can I ask you about making a map sometimes ?
my knowledge is low but I try to learn

Or do you know any map making tutorial and model making with blender?

[naive snow]

There's another modder here that does maps, but honestly there's like 3 whole modders doing maps, so it's pretty obscure knowledge

You'd be better off asking in the Anomaly servers instead

[wary scroll]

I see

Thanks

[vague sphinx]

So the THM and bump file are different right ? There's one of each for each head ?

Or does it come with the full body package ?

[thin kelp]

thm says to the game what bump belongs to what texture

its a per texture basis

so there will be 1 for head, 1 for body depending on the model ect

basically each material in blender

[slow bolt]

wait, i just remembered. When falling it wasnt always 0
bone_id == 0 or bone_id == 5 or bone_id == 6 or bone_id == 9 or bone_id == 10

I got these by dropping myself from a tower, repeatedly

could be some randomization somewhere

[velvet parcel]

I have a problem where when I load a weapon model in Blender, its sight is missing a texture (it appears pink). For example, the Steppe Eagle pistol with a Deltapoint sight, file: wpn_desert_steppe_deltapoint_hud.ogf

In the texture window, its name is entered: wpn_scope_base_leupold_deltapoint_diff.dds. I've searched the entire directory of unpacked textures from Anomaly, as well as all the mods, and this file is nowhere to be found.

It seems as if the texture is missing for some reason, but when I launch the game, this pistol has a sight with texture. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can access this texture?

[slow bolt]

[velvet parcel]

what mod is that? I don't have it in my GAMMA
thank you

[regal bolt]

#1035807043933720576 moment

[velvet parcel]

got it, thanks

[lethal garden]

Okay, so Im attempting to change the repair type of the SVT40 to the historic weapon kit, Ive edited every SVT40 ltx I found to use the historic repair kit, yet, ingame it still remains advanced. Any advice?

[graceful sluice]

How add this new scope to the game? If someone gonna explain how to do this, I gonna make it compatible for many weapons.

[hardy hound]

you could spawn static objects

iirc, anthology did some maps 'change' with spawning objects and them having no physics? i think

but they take items ids, and AI may be rare with it, like walking through it anyway or clashing

[fair canopy]

Use the existing section for one of the scope kits and swap the model. Don't make an entirely new scope

[velvet parcel]

Does anyone know from which mod this texture comes from?: wpn_addon_scope_okp77_2k_diff.dds

[slow bolt]

Just search in Mo2

[velvet parcel]

BAS 2022, is it in base GAMMA?

I don't have it

[slow bolt]

Some bas 2022 guns are in gamma

again, just use the search in mo2 on the right

[velvet parcel]

I did 🙂 no result

[slow bolt]

well it cant be the case if that texture works in game

[velvet parcel]

yeah, I know. this is weird. But I don;t have this BAS 2022.

[slow bolt]

You wont on base gamma

[regal bolt]

I have a few brief questions, possibly more depending on answers. I am working toward completion of a UI reskin, and first wanted advice on where is best to upload it. If I upload the completed .7z file in the proper structure and later make an update to the files, would this trigger a update to a user that installed the mod?

[naive snow]

Here, for the other crazy monkeys that might want this. I did for someone a small project of slapping those HUGE VSSK silencers on the ASH 12 with a Cortex sight.

[graceful sluice]

Please, can you finish my gun that I sent you in DM

[naive snow]

When I get to it maybe

[lethal garden]

Can anyone tell me how to remove this zoom that occurs when aiming with certain weapons? In this case the KAR98k. Ive got iron sight zoom disabled in the settings, and Ive tried remove the "hud_fov" value in the LTX file, but that hasnt been succesful.

[graceful sluice]

Ok

I also made fancy AUG-A3

Grenade launcher initially was on model, so hopefully it have animations

[hard viper]

Hey, does anyone know how I could make special magazines for mags redux?

I got it here

[naive snow]

There, the OGF is done and in the folder you asked for, the blender file is uploading in there too

[graceful sluice]

Thanks)

[dense wadi]

What weapons do you plan on adding first?

[graceful sluice]

This modified SVU-A, because Burn already made me OGF model, then AUG-A3.

[dense wadi]

Excited for your work especially for the SVU

[graceful sluice]

It not completely mine, I took SVU model from @ andtheherois mod, and added scope mount that I downloaded from internet, and changed some textures)

Same with AUG, I found this one in gamma files, but looks like this model is unused. I changed texture to black, and added Surefire© 60 round mag.

[fair canopy]

The Aug may not work. The animations have been broken. That's why it isn't used

I think someone fixed the missing reload but the shooting may still be messed up

[random fulcrum]

just rig it to firebreath's set

[fair canopy]

I'm surprised no one had

[graceful sluice]

Well, someone is making those animations, probably I can find the one who made all animations for other weapons.

And ask him

[fair canopy]

That set won't have the gl animations though

[graceful sluice]

This one?
https://youtu.be/OzRvFcjNxJM?si=KJSeh6uQi-Oak8_6

[random fulcrum]

yes literally the one in gamma

[graceful sluice]

I'm trying to figure out how add .ogf file to gamma

[naive snow]

Are you in blanket fort?

[surreal gust]

Fat Cry 5 trees

Black spots and bad shading are the result of low hemisphere quality

5 millions polygons with 40 fps is very impressive

[graceful sluice]

Nah, I just living rent free in Prypiat, and this structure prevents ceiling plaster from falling on my keyboard)))

My room tour)

[obsidian void]

Please make your map performant, I would like to play it

[graceful sluice]

Yeah, ghillie mod called winter kust
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/winter-kust-kostyum

I don't know why you deleted the message

[graceful sluice]

Can someone help me with my mod?
I don't know why rifle not appearing in item spawn menu

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1V3MjdXGce6RwiwS_cK9C0spNGpCnS-gT?usp=sharing

There is link to drive with mod

[fair canopy]

You gotta zip your files

try that

Your new gun can reference the old gun to inherit most of the variables and then you can adjust what you need to. Then you need to define the parent_section of the gun as itself, otherwise it won't show up

[dense wadi]

Yeah because I was looking for it for like 15 minutes then asked you and immediately found it after lol

[surreal gust]

My gpu is a gtx 660 and ryzen 3 1300x

[surreal gust]

Also I was using a very expensive parallax shader

So it would most likely be 60

[surreal gust]

another image

[mystic prism]

Guys, anyone knows if there's a mod to make a difference between single cigarrettes and cigarettes boxes?

Having the late ones having 20 uses but be more expensive?

[slow bolt]

There are no cigarette boxes

[mystic prism]

It'd be a nice thing that would add a lot to immersion and radiation control from a economic point of view.

[slow bolt]

only cigarette packs

[mystic prism]

That's what I mean.

Sorry.

[slow bolt]

and no single cigarettes too

[mystic prism]

No one could make single cigarrettes object?

And make cigarrette packs have 20 uses.

Would be a very, very nice addition.

And would help a lot to make the radiation management easier to cope with.

Also much more immersive.

[slow bolt]

Making packs have 20 uses is easy

but would require altering all the loot drops to adjust to new uses amount

Otherwise stalkers would drop like 7 cigarettes per body

[mystic prism]

you mean 7 cigarettes pack.

[mystic prism]

How difficult is this?

Seems like it wouldn't be so difficult for a seasoned modder, but I just downloaded the game so... XD

[slow bolt]

No. Current packs have 3 uses

Stalkers can drop one out of 3 uses

IIRC the drop is based on % of the charges of the item

[mystic prism]

Starting ones I used had 1 use.

[slow bolt]

so without altering they would instead drop 33% of 20 cigarettes per pack

[slow bolt]

Packs have 3 uses each

[mystic prism]

Didn't work like that for me :S

For me starting ones had 1 use only.

Dissapeared after using them.

The ones I had in the inventory at the start of the game.

[slow bolt]

Well that aint how they work

[acoustic tartan]

This is probably a silly question, but I'm doing a bit of investigation into stash spawns, and running into some trouble with figuring out something, hoping that the boffins here may be able to assist. Have tried to run as far as I can without asking for help...but out of luck... 😦

Specifically, I'm looking into stash location spawns, and the idea that they should (according to patch notes) only spawn in "adjacent maps". This tracks based on treasure_manager (using function "box_in_same_map") and what that leans on (simulation_objects.script, function is_on_the_linked_level). The line in particular I am getting stuck on is the following:

[bunch of code]
    *return (string.find(config:r_value(obj1_level,"target_maps",0,""),obj2_level) and true or false)*
end```

I understand that config is instantiated as config = ini_file_ex("ai_tweaks\\simulation_objects.ltx"), however for the life of me, I cannot find simulation_objects.ltx. On the idea that it may be some kind of temp file (ini_file_ex as compared with ini_file?), I cannot find the file.

So the question in essence is, where is this list of "target_maps" that seems so mythical! Thanks in advance 🙂

[slow bolt]

Play a bit more and see for yourself

[mystic prism]

Yeah, I don't say you're wrong, but maybe starting ones are of one use only?

[acoustic tartan]

(FWIW I'm pretty sure I know what I'll find in that list, the result of this excellent spreadsheet - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uQxe5sVL5UHHkGYdRqtgsh5OrLX1MfwdZrMJG1IuRAs/edit#gid=715356251 - but given that what it says is in combat with the patch note...I am curious!)

[slow bolt]

That file is packed in anomaly most likely

[mystic prism]

or it was a bug?

[slow bolt]

Maybe you got one charge out of 3 on starting. But i dont remember starting with any cigarettes anyway
