[mystic prism]

I think I bought them with the starting points?

IIRC

[slow bolt]

yep, its there

[acoustic tartan]

Ah, I haven't done any unpacking and didn't think to look; ripper, cheers 🙂

[dense kite]

im writing up a small script - quick question - whats an easy way to print a line to console for debug purposes? i dont see it in any scripts im looking at

[slow bolt]

Same way you print out in C languages

printf("! Damage: %s",damage)

! makes the print out red in console

[dense kite]

easy. thank you mirrorwel

[slow bolt]

[mystic prism]

Do they always drop same % or is there any way of making it variable?

[slow bolt]

honestly - i dont remember. Drop rate is based on rank iirc

Myself i tackled adding new items to loot with a separate script

So i dont have to mess with the original files and easily can inject

[mystic prism]

My tobacco packs have 1 use.

At least the ones I can buy aswell.

:S

At the bartender in the swamps clear sky base.

It says 1 use.

:/

[slow bolt]

Its tobacco

You are supposed to use it to craft cigarettes

Tobacco pack != cigarette pack

[mystic prism]

I mean...

cigarettes pack have 1 use only.

[slow bolt]

They dont

[mystic prism]

True, was looking at the wrong side.

Yup, 3 uses.

[acoustic tartan]

Thanks again for that assistance before @slow bolt; being able to find that file managed to perfectly assist in figuring everything I wanted out. Will also keep that unpacked set of DBs since I'm sure they'll come in handy further 👍 ❤️

[mystic prism]

Mirrowel, what do I need to make cigarrettes with a tobacco pack?

Rolling paper?

[slow bolt]

Check the crafts

think you should be able to do that from the start

[mystic prism]

Yup.

[obsidian void]

It actually doesn't. The way death_items works, stalkers can't drop more than like 3-4 cigarette uses. My item uses mod changes the cigarettes to 12 uses and the loot drops are unaffected

[slow bolt]

aint no way

[obsidian void]

Each # of possible uses in death_items needs to be specifically defined, for example:

cigarettes__1 = 0.05 cigarettes__2 = 0.04

Etc

[slow bolt]

ah

so you can add higher if you want

okay

[obsidian void]

It's only a problem when converting non-multiuse items to multiuse

In those cases then the loot tables need to be adjusted or the game will spawn a full pack of the new multiuse item

[sacred token]

Real chads just monkey patch death_manager.spawn_cosmetics

[vague sphinx]

@thin kelp Sorry to bother you again, do you happen to have a visual database or something like that for all of your models ?

I made a visual png file of all vanilla + Fixed Vanilla Models stalker ogf files which looks like this after

[thin kelp]

nope sorry, i ususally made a habit of giving a certain model type a specific name, so any model that has a specific name regardless of faction will have that look

If i was more smarter and wise i would have documented my stuff more

[vague sphinx]

So you don't have a reliable way of skimming through all of the OGFs when modding/updating ?

[thin kelp]

i go by the names, if i encounter a problem with one model that has a specific name, i usually have to check each one by that naming scheme

[vague sphinx]

I see, I think I made a mistake somewhere because when I tried looking into yours, they show like this

[thin kelp]

it cant find the texture, could be how you have your texture path setup in blender

[vague sphinx]

Let me take a look

[thin kelp]

you can manually set it, which can be a pain, but setting up the path to include all textures including my addons texture folder is usually howi fix that

[thin kelp]

hrmmmm im not used to working without having the paths set up to an SDK

[vague sphinx]

I'll try something

[thin kelp]

i suppose you could also set it up to the anomaly installation

im also rusty as hell

[vague sphinx]

No worries, I'm gonna try the same method I did for Fixed Vanilla Models, take a full Unpacked gamedata and copy paste the new ones on top of the unpacked ones

[thin kelp]

something worth considering is just take one example from each model type, so each unique naming scheme, cause they are usually the same, with minor variations

[vague sphinx]

Do you have the fixed models as a base or completely from scratch ?

[slow bolt]

could load blender through the mo2 vfs

[thin kelp]

the fixed models from FVM?

[vague sphinx]

Yup

[vague sphinx]

Well so far it worked like a charm on its own

I think it's just my paths being clumsy

[thin kelp]

let me remember, im pretty sure in most cases i did use the models from FVM that had model touch ups, otherwise, i use models made by different modders like the ones from Dynamic's SHOC character addon. Most models should be a mix between FVM ones, Dynamics, from old forgotten or obscure charcter addons and vanilla anomaly ones

[vague sphinx]

Well, now that I think about it, it should be just fine, since all of you custom combinations have a unique name ?

[thin kelp]

yes

[vague sphinx]

I'm basically looking through your collection to find if you have made some models that could replace the ones I'm discarding, pretty sure you have, just need to find them

Notably for Sin, Renegades, and Bandits

[thin kelp]

ahh okay. Yeah i would skim through the unique named ones, its not worth looking at each individual model from the 3500 ones in there

there should be some interesting ones in there

for those factions*

[vague sphinx]

Ah, there goes my dedication x) Because I'm looking for the ones that replace some odd NPCs vanilla models

My goal is faction identity restoration, so I'm trying to get rid of the bad out of place ones in each faction so that it becomes as coherent as in the OGs

[thin kelp]

yeah i can understand why

[vague sphinx]

I decided to give the "black bandits models" to Renegade and "brown bandits" ones to Bandits for exemple

Just like I decided to give the same overhaul models to Sin to reinforce the Cult idea

A long task but I'm not afraid of some work

[thin kelp]

its hard to do that especially for sin and renegades which dont really have an identity

[vague sphinx]

Exactly why I opted for these two ideas ^^

To make them stand out as their own more

[thin kelp]

i remember keeping that in mind when making some models for those factions

[vague sphinx]

Well, the reason I don't use your character kit as a whole is because it kind of dilutes the faction identity more than in vanilla, variety was your objective first and foremost so it's understandable, but since I'm going for a more focused and restricted approach, it's better for me to look at what you have done carefully

[thin kelp]

no i get that

but you should be able to cherry pick some good ones, not all the ones i made were created equally

[vague sphinx]

To be fair, Vanilla Anomaly did its number already on that

[vague sphinx]

No problem, they weren't equal in vanilla in the first place

[thin kelp]

if i would have started the project from scratch today i would have a totally different approach to say the least

[vague sphinx]

I can understand that for sure

[thin kelp]

and it may not matter too much anyway, those stalker 2 models are gonna get backported eventually

[vague sphinx]

At the very least, if I manage to do just what I want to achieve, I can send you the files if you want

[thin kelp]

no problem by me

[vague sphinx]

Because I feel like Stalker 2 backporting will create a segregation between models, as not all factions are in Stalker 2

[thin kelp]

the least i can do is give some pointers cause im way too demotivated, rusty and burnt out to get back into modding atm

[thin kelp]

absoloutely

[vague sphinx]

So might as well do my work now x)

[thin kelp]

go for it

[vague sphinx]

Thank you for your time, much appreciated

[thin kelp]

np 👍

[surreal gust]

@undone lily

Do you think the Far Cry 5 trees look good and fit good

If you think the trees are a little bit in the air thats because of the parallax shader from SSS 20 Alpha

[vague sphinx]

Fixed it, just by correcting my paths the way I described above

[surreal gust]

Almost 5 million polygons with 40 fps + expensive parallax shader from sss 20 alpha with my good old gtx 660

Without the shader it's 60 fps

The current build is released on moddb without these trees

[pine quartz]

anyone happen to know which gamma mod (and/or base anomaly file(s)) controls how long item usage animations "lock down" the player? for example, how long the 'equip armor' animation prevents player from moving or doing anything else. it's not actor_effects.script, or at least not only that

[random fulcrum]

it's an option dude

in the main menu settings

[pine quartz]

you're misunderstanding me, i'm not talking about whether those animations play or not..

[random fulcrum]

ah

it's actor_effects.ltx

shit's unreadably weird tho

configs\plugins\

[pine quartz]

already tried w/ the default Anomaly actor_effects and it's still different from default Anomaly behavior

it seems like there's some coefficient being applied to where the scripting is that says "lock the player down for xxx time" since it seems to always unlock player movements at like 75% of the animation run time

[sacred token]

I am very sure it's actor_effects.ltx. Check the "outfit" section if you want to edit your "equip armor" example

@pine quartz

The left number is the time in milliseconds you need to wait before the event/function on the right side is executed

[pine quartz]

ahh that was it, i was looking at actor_effects.script instead. thank you ❤️

[undone lily]

dunno, I don't know which trees are near CNPP

and how forests are over there

[surreal gust]

They look way better than anomaly ones in my opinion

[surreal gust]

I also released the map mod in moddb for everyone to test and give me feedback on

It also works for gamma

The only problem is it won't work with the custom storylines that gamma has since i need the all.spawn file from gamma

[slow bolt]

I mean those are trees

Look normal to me. And i lived in vaguely the same area

[surreal gust]

modder role

i worked very hard for it

[surreal gust]

There's a forum for my mod in the gamma server but it didn't get any attention tho

[slow bolt]

Mf wants to be the orange man

[surreal gust]

hey i like making maps tho

[slow bolt]

You gotta eat a lot of oranges

that is what i did

[surreal gust]

you think map making for anomaly isn't a lot of uhmm

MISERY

[sacred token]

We gotta start to figure out how to patch all.spawn

Even if it is hell

[surreal gust]

I know how to do that

[sacred token]

I always heard bvcx complaining about it

[surreal gust]

Hand writing spawn sections is the hardest part

But I know how to do that too

Many people think that map making is very difficult for anomaly and especially since the SDK is a pain to use

It's still hard but not impossible as people think

[surreal gust]

Lots of people don't map for anomaly because it's too hard

[surreal gust]

can i get my orange role plz?

[surreal gust]

Also they lack variety for now

About 36 variants

The person who reworked the garbage level (kryiron) told me he will give me tree models and some assets from subway (a game i guess)

[vast zodiac]

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

anyone know where the description text is generated for multi-item fetch quests? link above shows where an example quest is generated, but I want make a pr to correct how amounts are listed in the pda tooltip for the quest (eg "5 x scientific medkit")

[surreal gust]

I'm gonna look for the gamma's version of all.spawn file to fully patch my map mod for gamma

Since if you load any save with my map mod enabled and that save uses custom storylines which it does it will crash because my all.spawn file doesn't have these new storylines

[surreal gust]

can't find it weird

[surreal gust]

Hey could you find a mod that adds an "all.spawn" file?

its probably in gamma

i need it to do a full patch

[grizzled gorge]

its in 197- New Storylines (DLTX minimodpack) - Demonized

[surreal gust]

Alright thanks.

it's only a configs.ltx

[grizzled gorge]

197- New Storylines (DLTX minimodpack) - Demonized\gamedata\spawns

all.spawn is inside

[surreal gust]

There's nothing

[grizzled gorge]

you don't have gamma installed ?

[surreal gust]

Nope

Thanks.

I'm gonna patch it for my new level

[vast zodiac]

sorry just saw this, glad you found it

[surreal gust]

It's okay

I needed it to patch my map mod fully to work on gamma since

if you had my mod enabled and you tried to load a save with the storyline mod

it will crash the game because of missing all.spawn sections

Alright there done

It should be good to work

[maiden field]

Anyone around? I'm messing with ammo stuff and I wanted to know what the values for "k_imp" and "impair" are.

They're right under k_hit and k_ap

[vale knot]

im not sure what impair is. but impulse is how much an enemies ragdoll is affected (like if you shoot guy with shotgun how high of a chance for his body to go flying backwards)

i believe impulse also affects stalkers being staggered but im not 100% on dat

[worn fiber]

Impair is a modifier on how the general weapon condition reduces. Have it more that 1 to damage the gun condition more per shot.

[vale knot]

I should of been able to deduce that tbh

Thought it was some weird gboobs thing

[maiden field]

Which stat is stagger?

[worn fiber]

I'm not sure there is one for that.

[vale knot]

Im like 50% sure its impulse

[maiden field]

Hm

[worn fiber]

I thought it depends on the damage dealt.

[vale knot]

Why cant i @ crimmas

[worn fiber]

Or if the ammo penetrates the armor.

[vale knot]

Like the only other guy who understands gboobs

[worn fiber]

Gboobs have nothing to do with this.

[vale knot]

Yes it does? Partly

[worn fiber]

The damage part. Yes.

[vale knot]

Yes they have their own values in vanilla but gboobs affects them

Idk i try to not learn about ballistics otherwise i get a headache

I usually wait for momo to correct me

[worn fiber]

There is just a simple formula.

What's so horifying about it?

[vale knot]

Nothing i just don't like it

[worn fiber]

It's fine. In comparison to vanilla, it's an upgrade.

Becasue in vanilla there is on such thing as armor break.

[maiden field]

[worn fiber]

You have to damage calculation based on whether the ammo you use have enough k_ap to go through NPC'a aromr or not.

[vale knot]

@random fulcrum does impulse value of an ammo type affect stagger on stalkers

?

[worn fiber]

It sure the one to make the ragdoll fly.

[vale knot]

Yeh

[worn fiber]

But for ammo it's the multiplier.

The base impulse is in weapon.ltx.

[celest forge]

100 impulse for funni jump when die

[vale knot]

^

[worn fiber]

I don't thing that's enough.

[celest forge]

It's how I did the ammo for the JDJ rifle, it does make sdalgers jump back

[worn fiber]

That's the right way.

But was 100 enough?

Or this was the ammo multiplier?

[celest forge]

50 on the gun and 50 on the ammo

[vale knot]

But yeah id just say wait for momo to be online to answer what causes stagger if not impulse

[surreal gust]

Not sure but it affects every physics prop

Whether it be hanging lights

Barrels

Lights with 2 bones

[vale knot]

In my mind it would make sense to tie it to imp

But stalker doesnt always make sense

[worn fiber]

That can be easily tested. Just make the gun that you know can stagger to have zero impulse. If NPC is staggered then it's based on damage.

[random fulcrum]

nah it's just the ragdoll

stagger is directly tied to health lost

it's like a poise meter

[surreal gust]

Oh and cloth "physics" too that stalker showcased in the 2004 builds

I played through a lot of these builds

[vale knot]

@maiden field

Thank u momo

[vale knot]

I never played em but bet they're interesting

[maiden field]

@ripe turtle

[surreal gust]

Yeah in one of the showcase builds almost every prop was physical

I have lots of these physical props in my SDK slot

Including the hanging lights with 2 bones

Most 2000+ build numbers didn't work for me because I didn't have a cd rom drive

[vale knot]

I got a slot for one on my pc

No drive in it currently

[surreal gust]

I'm not sure if they have the xrProtect.exe in them

Some do but I don't know if they have been enabled or disabled

[ripe turtle]

sup lol

ah impulse is the push back on corpses when they die?

Yeah i remember that lol

[vale knot]

Yuh

[ripe turtle]

impair does stagger them afaik

lemme lower impair a bit tho on my guns lol

put it too high

[random fulcrum]

no

impair is for degradation on the gun

again, stagger is directly and only tied to health lost

[surreal gust]

the parallax is really good not gonna lie

There are unwet spots

I think thats new

If any of you have aydins grass tweaks 4.0 source grass textures (not build_details.dds) let me know

[ripe turtle]

o shi i just made guns self-destruct on shot basically lmao

[surreal gust]

Far cry 5 trees look great

I am definetly gonna use those

[worn fiber]

Are you just messing with ammo impair stat? Better adjust the base gun condition_shot_dec and don't set impair too high.

More than 1 means ether bad ammo or as extra charge ammo.

[ripe turtle]

yes I put it back

[graceful sluice]

It gonna be better if you use body pulling mechanic from shadow of Chornobyl, or alternatively put body bag in backpack slot, like how you carry bodies in death stranding. Also you can make task from fraction leader to return his soldier, almost every base already have graveyard.

[naive snow]

You just need to grab the XmountDisks folder from any of the sdk version and run the XmountDisks.cmd as administrator to emulate a fake cdrom drive

[surreal gust]

I could have used that but i deleted the builds a long time ago

[graceful sluice]

I learned how attach mesh to bones, and also added nice bullets and casings texture, because original one for some reason has corrupted black texture

[round coyote]

how do i change a model of an npc with a custom model

for just one npc

[graceful sluice]

@naive snow for what casing model used? It only for jamming animation, or it ejecting after each shot?

[naive snow]

Depending on the weapon, it's a particle system that shoots a particle to eject the casing. If you have empty casings it's probably for a jamming animation

[graceful sluice]

It have only bone, with no casing, I cheked original SVU model, and it have one, andtheherois removed it for some reason. Well, I gonna put it back)

[naive snow]

If you add bones you'll have to reupdate very single animation of andtheherois to be able to use them

[graceful sluice]

No, I added to already existing bone

[fair canopy]

I didn't remove it. That was the original bone structure of the gun

Because like burn Said, I would have needed to update every animation if I did that

[elfin mason]

Does anyone know how to add more weapons to the vision/pistols slots?

[undone lily]

#╓☢stalker-chat

[elfin mason]

oops

[stiff solstice]

Where can I find the a.d.e.g.a texture pack mod?

[graceful sluice]

Install https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1036109416686162051

[paper remnant]

fuck me

https://tenor.com/view/waah-waa-sad-wah-waaah-gif-25875771

brother help

[elfin mason]

Thanks but I don't want a ton of new weapons, just need to know where the file is that lists the items that can go in in slot 1 is, or is it defined on a per weapon basis.

Some else made a custom ltx for the ks23 but one of the comments said they should patch the original file with dltx

Ahh dw I found the pinned message on how to do it

[naive snow]

The xray addon only works up to blender version 3.6, you're using 4.0

[paper remnant]

thx i found the probleme

[naive snow]

Found the french

[paper remnant]

yes and ?

[naive snow]

Rien, mais si tu veux parler français ici, bonne chance

[grizzled gorge]

https://tenor.com/view/groundhog-day-bill-murray-oui-do-you-speak-french-gif-12697588

[paper remnant]

I don't speak french

[naive snow]

Then why is your blender in french? Isn't that counter productive?

[paper remnant]

Because why not

to explain my project I would like the famas to be able to use rifle grenades as in reality

[graceful sluice]

There is check boxes with what you wanna enable, you can deselect all weapons, and enable only this mod

New handguard

[fair canopy]

Lol where'd you get that guard from?

Desolation?

Tbh I would have used the new svu as a base

[graceful sluice]

Yeah, it's new SVU from gamma, because it got better textures and more detailed model.
And it's AR handguard from sketcfab, that I modified for SVU)

[mint knoll]

This looks really good! Will you be releasing this as a weapon mod?

[graceful sluice]

Yes, but I don't know how to put it in game, I watched 2 times this 2 hour tutorial that pinged in this channel, and also bunch of other tutorials, but can't do it.
But model is ready, it already have all PBR textures and bones, I just need someone who know how put it in game.

I even added bullets and casings

I also have this AUG-A3, but I don't know if it have animations for grenade launcher.

[celest forge]

I don't think the AUGs have GLs in this game no

Even the BaS ones

[graceful sluice]

It's possible to stretch Aug mesh on L85 tactical? It also bulpup, and have grenade launcher.

Or FN-2000

Also Groza have gl, maybe some of them have similar proportions with Aug, and we can reuse their animation.

They are really existing, so probably there can be some mods with it.

[celest forge]

The grenade launcher animations wouldn't fit, they would be clipping all over the mesh

The proportions and placement of the gun must be near exact for the animations to be used

Atleast without a lot of editing

[waxen ermine]

Hello guys. I have some question... I've get trouble to make mutants neutral to Sin...How can i do this?

[regal bolt]

Yo scripting uses lua, correct?

[random fulcrum]

yes

[regal bolt]

Can you create a UI or can you only modify the ones straight from the game?

[random fulcrum]

both

[regal bolt]

Is there any sort of documentation or am I left to reading source code?

[random fulcrum]

classes and talents by xcvb has a full custom ui

[regal bolt]

found it

[random fulcrum]

experience framework also has one

you won't find stuff in the book about it

[regal bolt]

ah yeah i think i'll need to get used to stalker and how it works before anything, thanks for the info

[vale knot]

take mods that are similar to what you wanna do and try to reverse engineer them

what i do

[regal bolt]

ah ok, i had an idea to make an item which would be a radar, no model it would just show an empty minimap just with red dots where ennemies are, would be updated every few seconds

since i know lua already i don't think it would be too hard but imma wait a bit

[vale knot]

i think nltp was working on the alien isolation movement monitor

[regal bolt]

Actually it would most likely be pretty hard

[waxen ermine]

Can't anyone help me?

[obsidian void]

Anyone else having issues refreshing the game with debug? Lately it crashes with "assertion failed"

[slow bolt]

Guess you fucked something up

when making my stuff i refreshed a lot

[waxen ermine]

Ooo, i need your help now

[slow bolt]

[waxen ermine]

i'ts take just a 1 minute

i need to make mutants neutral for Sin

[slow bolt]

Yes, i saw that

I dont work with that so idk

[waxen ermine]

i've tried change relations cfg but it didn't work

i'm tired of this shit

[hardy hound]

theres a addon alrady

[waxen ermine]

this mod doesn't work with mutants

[hardy hound]

sure? the description and comments say it does
nvm, found a comment that it may be broken

[waxen ermine]

meh

this guy just like me

[grizzled gorge]

@slow bolt This happens to me also but the crash do not occur in fake starts / modded and 100% vanilla

[fair inlet]

Yeah, I often get some line 1050, MonsterBase (iirc) crashes when refreshing system.ltx and then reload

[grizzled gorge]

This could be linked to certain entities or object (though it's just a hypothesis). When I gained access to the testing branch in December, I encountered this issue when starting a new game, but not consistently with every new game. (All starts were in Cordon.) Now i'am back to modding i've just pin pointed it with the refresh.

[obsidian void]

could it be an HD mutant mod? 🤔

[fair inlet]

I get this crash in fake start so it's definitely odd since they aren't any NPC

[obsidian void]

true I think the other day I had this crash in fake start as well

perhaps the newest EXE's have an issue

[grizzled gorge]

weird

[fair inlet]

I had like 30 crashes in fake start so it's certainly not random

[grizzled gorge]

already tested without all the new mutants mods and got same result

[fair inlet]

Does it crash after you reload system.ltx in your case? Then it would make sense it has to do with something this config includes. Which is a lot of sections so it isn't much help

[grizzled gorge]

Yeah right after pressing F7 > 0, but again fake start is crash free for me

[slow bolt]

welp not to me ever

[grizzled gorge]

:/

[surreal gust]

New assets from survavium

And lenin as a bonus

[grizzled gorge]

@fair inlet @obsidian void @misty mulch I've tested with various modded exes versions https://github.com/themrdemonized/STALKER-Anomaly-modded-exes/tags , and the latest version without the bug occurring during refresh (F7 > 0) is this one https://github.com/themrdemonized/STALKER-Anomaly-modded-exes/releases/tag/2023.12.09

@steady apex Sorry for the ping, but I was wondering if you might have any insights to this issue.
Several people here have been encountering this crash lately either randomly while playing, or on new game and finally when refreshing via debug.
I found out that it does not happen with an older version of modded exes (2023.12.09u1), the crash occurs with any version after this one.

 
[error]Expression    : left_eye_bone_id != u16(-1) && right_eye_bone_id != u16(-1)

[surreal gust]

When i was creating smart terrains and saw this error

I thought my map was fucked but it wasnt

[grizzled gorge]

Anomaly or Gamma ?

[surreal gust]

Anomaly modded exes

I dont use gamma

[random fulcrum]

this shit doesn't happen on non gamma tho

it's not the fault of modded exes

something in gamma is breaking it

act surprised

[grizzled gorge]

@surreal gust just said it happen also on its rig (anomaly)

[surreal gust]

Maybe it wasn't exactly this error

I can't confirm though

[grizzled gorge]

hm

[random fulcrum]

like yeah of course reloading the system ltx can make the game freak out

it could have been a freak error

but that monster thing is super consistent

only in gamma

i'd pester grok rather than demonized about it

[surreal gust]

can't even load custom made cop levels into the sdk without crashing

[celest forge]

When in doubt reinstall anomaly

[random fulcrum]

must've been the custom bhs texture you're using

[grizzled gorge]

I already mentioned this to Grok in December, and he believed it was caused by modded exes... ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[random fulcrum]

the guy blames everything and everyone around the modpack for issues completely unrelated

[obsidian void]

update_eyes_visibility

[surreal gust]

I'm really happy with the new assets

[obsidian void]

the modded exe's handle bone hiding do they not

[random fulcrum]

no

and if anything

again

it doesn't consistently crash in non gamma

i use modded exes

on a modest anomaly setup

i can consistently reload the system ltx

[obsidian void]

it doesn't consistently crash with gamma either

[grizzled gorge]

consistently on refresh tho

[random fulcrum]

yeah

that's the thing

system reload always will crash gamma

with the same log

[fair canopy]

Yup. I might get a few reloads that work and the suddenly crash reload, and crash again a few times

[surreal gust]

The trees look really good

They are moody in the SDK but in game they are lighted by light sources and general hemisphere and ambiance

[severe plover]

Guys is there any way to mod the durability of an item

[steady apex]

Today there will be new update, you can try that later

[elfin mason]

Couple of questions about adding weapons to vision slot

• Does the mod folder have to be in a specific location before adding it to MO2?
• What is the itemname for the sawn off shotgun or how do you access the config viewer/item names list

[surreal gust]

23 million polygons

70 million vertices

[surreal gust]

Better glass shader

before you say i should have used def_trans and def_translucency in the model i did that after this screenshot

[peak quest]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/retrogues-additional-weapons-part-1-ar-type-weapons

been messing around with a script in this mod and ive been able to inject the weapons into the traders items

no idea how to lock them behind supply levels however

the file is rwapar_autoinject

[soft burrow]

you guys know any way of changing hip's visual model without starting a new game?
would just replacing the ogf file work?

[simple scaffold]

@tacit surge yes?

[simple scaffold]

yes. you could also use a script to assign her a new model file for an inprogress game.

[tacit surge]

this your addon right? https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/ascendantcrosshairs
I wanted to ask your permission to adapt your addon to my weapons reposition addon. Make fake laser sights for weapons repositions based on it.

[simple scaffold]

it is really old and messy, particularly in how it handles settings(you should use MCM). The methods for users to add more crosshairs could be better.

but if all you want is to know how to draw a graphic at the center of the screen the UI code is still solid enough. you can certainly use that as a starting point. But only the code. All of the textures belong to BlackGrowl.

[fair inlet]

It works just fine, we did remove most settings and custom crosshair functionality anyway and moved the rest of settings to MCM

And textures are custom, so it's not a problem.
Thank you for sharing the code

[tacit surge]

Thank You sir! Otherwise, the idea just doesn't work. Standard laser sights do not allow you to make a good-looking reposition. This is what was done using the base of your code

[soft burrow]

nice thank you

[fair canopy]

This might be a better way to do lasers honestly. As long as it keeps the on/off functionality. Trying to align those lasers is a pain in the ass

Only problem would be modifying every mesh to remove the render point

[tacit surge]

Not many people use my repositions, so the fake laser method for these repositions is enough i think.

[fair canopy]

I think it would be good just as a mod on its own too

[fair inlet]

It definitely has some potential, but current implementation is really janky

[fair inlet]

What do you mean? Removing original shader-based laser?

[fair canopy]

Yeah. Or I wonder if including a transparent texture would be enough?

[fair inlet]

I haven't had any issues with that. I just removed the code line which enables the shader. There's no laser beam ofc, just the dot, but that's the price

[simple scaffold]

there is code that lets you convert a HUD model bone location to a set of screen cords. you could use this draw in a subtle beam effect on the screen. however ensuring it doesn't endup being drawn over the gun would be a bunch of work. also rotating/scaling/positioning the texture to be int he right location would be alot of math that is actualy starting to give me a headache thinking about it.

maybe NVM while It's not impossible, it probably isn't reasonably posible to do this.

[fair canopy]

Does anyone remember a mod that's probably about a year and a half old at this point that replaces the minimap with an eye that opens and closes based on your viability to other NPCs?

[frozen flicker]

how hard would it be to make a mod that adds a transition here?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/920016996752564286/1200506139603902544/image.png?ex=65c66d78&is=65b3f878&hm=33c7e1a1ae490503bbaf71a3d7f8343c52b044dc96a2cde5d7a1977a75451722&

[sacred token]

Not hard. Just take on of these transition mods as reference

[gritty raptor]

can i post a liitle mod that makes arts drops with 95%+ efficiency? so all newCUMers can enjoy if they want to

[naive snow]

You can post whatever mod you want in #1035807043933720576 . There's plenty of balance breakers

[fair canopy]

Anyone have the gepard pdw mod from a few months ago?

[dapper dust]

Can anyone point me towards what is controlling the buy prices of weapons parts, such as barrels? Changing the price of each part does not seem to work for buying (base price does increase aswell as sell price, but buy price is fixed)

[surreal gust]

WHAT THE FUCK

[shy torrent]

I require assistance because dumb. I've been trying to port over the new NVG brightness control scheme from https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/beefs-nvg-improved , which uses 2 separate user-defined keys to decrease/increase NVG gain instead of having to cycle through them with N, however, whenever I port over the changes I think are required, it severely fucks up how NVGs work when switching between a scope and alternate aim. It correctly switches to a single-tube view when looking through a scope, but when I alt-aim to a laser from a scope while holding the ADS, it continues with the single-tube and doesn't return to the correct NVG tube amount (NVG tier 2 and tier 3). I'm at a loss at what could possibly be fucking up how Beef's NVG updates the scope's transition by just changing the damn control scheme for brightness.

The new controls work fine, but with the aforementioned caveat.

Here are the 2 files in question from the mod above that I'm looking at and attempting to port over the changes to GAMMA's Beefs NVG:

And yes, I've tried the mod itself and it also has the same issues with NVG tube transition when going to/from scope/alt-aim while holding ADS, which is why I've attempted to just port over the control scheme

[fair canopy]

It might just be a bug in the mod then

[shy torrent]

Hrm, tried the most itself again and it seems like it simply view alt-aim the same as a scope, so it uses the "default" one-tube view. With my changes I can get the alt-aim to use the normal NVG tube numbers, but switching to scope will cause the non-scoped tubes to remain on the screen and superimposes the single-tube over it. Fuck me

[storm stream]

HI guys I'm new in modding
I been thinking in create a pack of icons for personal use
Anyone know a program can I use to edit the anomaly icons or something?

[shy torrent]

If it can open and edit a DDS file, it should work. Could try Paint.NET, which is free. I only use it to view the DDS files and not edit them, so I can't vouch for how efficient it is

[regal bolt]

How do I make a mini mod to edit a helmet's stats? I can't find an example

[shy torrent]

Best way is to use DLTX to only change the attributes you want, while keeping the original file intact. I’m not sure where I read a tutorial explaining how it works, but it’s relatively simple

[regal bolt]

All I need is some kind of help on how to make one to edit a single item

I could do it for a gun since I have example files and copy paste, but I can't find one for an outfit item.

I know the ID's etc, I just need the syntax

[shy torrent]

It works the same way, although yeah, I don’t think the outfit attributes are available for us to peruse. You’d probably have to decompress Anomaly’s db files to find the outfit file and see the attribute names.

Could also check the Armor Rebalance mod that was posted in this discord for example

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

[storm stream]

Ohhhh ok ok

[regal bolt]

This is exactly what I needed. Working on it now.

Thank yoU!

[shy torrent]

Ok, I think I found the part of Beef's script that separates what constitutes a scope and what constitutes a non-scope while aiming. Now time to frankenstein it until it works, because I know jack shit about code or LUA

[lethal garden]

Can anyone tell me how I can change the textures of the hands provided by an outfits?

[shy torrent]

Check THAP Rework by IENCE, should provide some guidance by example, since it adds and changes arm textures based on armor equipped
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/thap-rework

[shy torrent]

Managed to make it work, all is well

[crude gust]

Could you please share your comp patch for this?

[shy torrent]

Sure, give me a sec. I ended up altering the Beefs NVG Improved mod instead. Could change it back to only have 3 NVG gain levels if you want

[crude gust]

I trying to achieve same - make impoved NVGs compat with 2DSO in alt aim mode

[shy torrent]

Ah, gotcha. I'll send the files you can install as a new mod then, so they'll overwrite the mod's and work

[crude gust]

Many thanks

[shy torrent]

Oh wait, give me a sec

I added an extra folder

[crude gust]

No problem, I will remove cfgs, cince Im already patched it

[shy torrent]

There we go, now it only has the gamedata folder

So it should install fine on MO2

[crude gust]

It actually can install OK in MO2 with root folder not being gamedata)

[shy torrent]

Yeah, but it's just an extra step to move the folder during the install, so just fixed it instead

[crude gust]

WDYM? MO2 will install mod as usual without you need to choose correct "anomaly" folder. If I understand you correctly.

Anyway, TYVM! Now it's time to check DAR compat with new mod, since now we got anims to NVGs)

[shy torrent]

I also use DAR and it works fine for me

Or well, haven't noticed anything weird, but haven't playtested much

[crude gust]

Do you have fast animations? I thinks it's too fast. Since DAR hardcoded few values in it patch, I think it must be reviewed.

[shy torrent]

Animations seemed fine when using/storing the detector and RF receiver

[fair canopy]

@celest forge did you ever figure out how to fix the clipping issue on your gun?

[crude gust]

@shy torrent Since DAR using new mutation to anims _quick, I think it overwrites torch enable anim, makes it too fast. And NVGs using this exact anim, so when you press NVGs key, you don't see animation for latch lowering, you see just hand enabling it and NVG overlay right after that. It's look not like on Impoved NVGS ModDB page. Maybe it's just me.

[celest forge]

No, idk what is going on

I'm remaking the animation from scratch

[shy torrent]

Oh yeah, it's fast, but I can kinda see something fall down before the NVG turns on.

[fair canopy]

bert just realized something. it may be skipping frames. we're having a similar issue and it seems a few frames are being cut when checked in omf editor

[crude gust]

That what I think must be patched, since, well all this improved NVGs replacement is for adding nice animations)

But, this is just me, maybe.

[celest forge]

Mine shows the same number of frames

weird

and the weirdest thing, some times it plays the edited version

some times the new

[worn fiber]

@celest forge Can you have a look at oc33 pisol in GAMMA? How to get rid of that wobbling animation when you aim down the sight? Because other pistols don't have it.

[real cave]

could i ask for help from someone who write a script for laser dot to become invisible during ADS?
the laser/red dot mismatch is too much for me that i stopped using lasers

[soft burrow]

you guys know any way of listening for the event of NPCs leaving the level the player is currently in?

[sacred token]

Guys I want to know your opinion about the NPC Wounded Animation Fix #📎mods-added-for-next-build message. Is it better to make the NPC drop the weapon or put it in their inventory?

[slow bolt]

if they drop they might run around without the weapon

so inventory

[sacred token]

Ha, heard something different on the anomaly server

Maybe I'll just add an MCM menu

[slow bolt]

didnt see you ask there, would have said the same

If in doubt - MCM menu it

[sacred token]

Asked in the general chat

I hoped not needing to create an MCM menu for every single one of my mods

[slow bolt]

Make 2 versions in one archive

people would install the one they want

[sacred token]

I hate that even more

[slow bolt]

Stalker modding be like:

[sacred token]

Maybe I can manage to code it like that, that you have TMMR (Tosox Mini Mods Repo) and then submenus with the mods in MCM

[crude gust]

Yeah, already happened for me.

[sacred token]

So its modular and gets automatically added to the TMMR menu if you install other mods from the pack which also include a MCM menu

What about that?

[slow bolt]

Well that would be amazing and i would study that to replicate

[slow bolt]

best of both worlds. Assuming you will have more than one MCM option that way

[crude gust]

GAMMA already have this https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/jabbers-weapons-drop-on-bodies, so dropping NPCs weapon in inventory on wound state looks inline with it.

[crude gust]

Dynahud uses similar approach with its support for MagHud, ColdHud etc

[slow bolt]

Well that (i think) i know how to do. Thinking of a better solution

[sacred token]

So that's the plan for now I guess

[slow bolt]

Now this is the professional sketch

[celest forge]

Delete the idle aim lines in the LTX file

[worn fiber]

From these?

[celest forge]

Yup

Anything that says aim

Although most weapons in gamma do have idle aims

Just that some are subtler than others

[fair inlet]

PRP has dltx overwrite for oc33

[worn fiber]

What's PRP?

[fair inlet]

pretty reanimated pistols

[worn fiber]

This is the weapon file from which the weapon stat changes work.

[fair inlet]

prp don't overwrite stats

[celest forge]

But it controls animations

Which he wants to change

[worn fiber]

Oleh was correct.

This is where the aim animations were:
C:\G.A.M.M.A\mods\359- Pretty Pistols Reanimated - FIREBREATH\gamedata\configs\mod_system_z_prp_oc33.ltx

[slow bolt]

He usually is

[fair inlet]

ofc I am, especially about ugp

[worn fiber]

However deleting the aim animation now prevents the sights from resetting to zero position if you shoot.

[spare gale]

We have a mod anywhere that adds the bandit radio music back into the game 😄 I miss hearing it at the bandit camp

[fair inlet]

you don't delete it, just slow it down

[worn fiber]

With something like this?
anm_idle_aim = oc33_new_aim, idle, 0.00001

[fair inlet]

maybe slightly too much zeroes but yes

[worn fiber]

Testing.

Yeah setting it to 0.1 madie it better.

[fair inlet]

0.1 is still kind of a lot, I use 0.001

[worn fiber]

Yeah. I was jsut testing the 0.01 value.

Now 0.001.

I'll stop at 0.001.

Looks good.

Just don't understand why bother with creating such aiming animation in the first place. As if the character can't hold the pistol straight.

At least now I was able to do a sight reposition to how I want it.

[strong bison]

Hello, can anyone tell me.
I want to change the crafting ammo to a more logical one, simply changing the amount of materials for the craft itself, is this even possible?
If yes, could you help me?

[worn fiber]

C:\G.A.M.M.A\mods\G.A.M.M.A. Arti Recipes Overhaul\gamedata\configs\items\ammo\ammo_vanilla.ltx

That's where the recipies are.

For crafting.

[strong bison]

Thank you

[sly bone]

hello i have questions i want edit the starting loadout and i dont understand about weapon names. In anomaly they begins with st also same in gamma weapon pack etc but the text file for starting load out call the weapons with-out the st... Exemple in gamma weapon pack inv_name = st_wpn_toz34 and in the new_game_loadout txt file TOZ34 is called like that wpn_toz34 = true,1,650,1 can some one explain me and maybe tell where is the list of the weapons names used i GAMMA pls😝

[slow bolt]

st_ is the prefix for localised text insert

So no, weapons start with wpn_. not st_wpn

Just enable debug and look in the spawner to see all the items and their names

[sly bone]

ah ok dude thx a lot

another question if i want edit ammo where the hell are they? in anomaly it dosent make effect also in GAMMA weapon pack....

tryed too find by myself but with the amount of folder i never find out it would be very appreciated

[shy torrent]

Best way is to use MO2’s file search function, so type ammo in it and see what pops up

For vanilla (non-BAS) ammo, the file you're looking for is weapon_ammo.ltx

Although I'd highly suggest creating a DLTX file to make your changes instead of modifying the original file, as it's much easier to keep compatibility with other mods, as well as clearly seeing what you're changing

[sly bone]

ok dude yea mo2 !!! thx again 👊

i will do this create a new addon with my items edited very good idea

[sly bone]

in mo2 in priority the higher the number mean its read in last so overwrite ?

[quartz anchor]

how would one go about editing the ammunition of say the USP match? asking for a friend obviously

[sly bone]

iam trying figuring this ... if i find i tell you😝

[glacial dove]

is there a simple way to realign the scope after adjusting the hud in the editor? like the pso or any 4x scope for instance

[vague obsidian]

guys, done with strelok missions and just got down sin's guys, loner story is done with that?

[sacred token]

Nope, there is more

[stable compass]

I'm trying to add a button to the new game screen. I can get the button to appear, but anytime I attach logic to it, it disappears. Would someone mind looking over this and see if I'm missing something super simple?

local _Main_Controls = ui_mm_faction_select.UINewGame.Main_Controls
local _Main_CallBacks = ui_mm_faction_select.UINewGame.Main_CallBacks
local _OnStartGame = ui_mm_faction_select.UINewGame.OnStartGame

function ui_mm_faction_select.UINewGame.Main_Controls(self, rand)
    _Main_Controls(self, rand)

    local function move(ctrl, deltaX, deltaY)
        local pos = ctrl:GetWndPos()
        ctrl:SetWndPos(vector2():set( pos.x + deltaX ,pos.y + deltaY ))
    end
    local xml                    = CScriptXmlInit()
    xml:ParseFile                ("ui_mm_gen_button.xml")
    self.gen_name = xml:InitStatic("main_dialog:options:gen_name",self.templ_options)
    self.gen_name_cap = xml:InitCheck("main_dialog:options:check_name",    self.templ_options)
    self:Register(self.gen_name,"btn_gen_name")
    --self.character_name:SetText("Test")
end

function ui_mm_faction_select.UINewGame.Main_CallBacks()
    _Main_CallBacks(self)
    self:AddCallback("btn_gen_name", ui_events.BUTTON_CLICKED, self.GenerateName, self)
end

function ui_mm_faction_select.UINewGame:GenerateName()
    if (faction == "stalker")
        self.character_name:SetText("Stalker")
    end
    elseif (faction == "bandit")
        ect...
end

--"stalker","bandit","csky","dolg","freedom","killer","army","ecolog","monolith","renegade","greh","isg"

The ui_mm_faction_select.UINewGame:GenerateName() currently is just full of placeholder stuff while I try to get the button to work

If I leave the ui_mm_faction_select.UINewGame.Main_Controls(self, rand) function and comment everything else, the button appears but obv does nothing

[steady apex]

replace ui_mm_faction_select.UINewGame.Main_CallBacks() with ui_mm_faction_select.UINewGame:Main_CallBacks()

colon instead of dot

[lethal garden]

Could anyone tell me if its possible to remove the zoom that occurs when aiming with some weapons? The SVT40 in this case.

[naive snow]

In the mcm under freezoom or whatever it's called. Changed the ads zoom factor

[lethal garden]

Yeah, Im aware of that setting, but ive got it set to a value that removes any zoom when ADS.

[lethal garden]

Some weapons, especially some vanilla ones, have this zoom that occurs when ADS

I think it has something to do with the FOV value

[naive snow]

The weapon probably has a hud_fov value set in its file then, some weapons have those

[lethal garden]

Right, someone mentioned that before, but once I tried removing or changing it, I didnt notice any change. Any advice?

[celest forge]

Or it's the iron sight zoom factor

[lethal garden]

But the SVT40 in this case, I checked the ltx and there isnt a hud fov section

[lethal garden]

A zoom factor set in the ltx?

[celest forge]

No that's in the general settings

[lethal garden]

Oh, I see. Ive already tried addressing that. Ive got it practically disabled.

[naive snow]

It's part of the adjustable weapon zoom mod. You can also find it in your mcm

[lethal garden]

Some weapons still have this zoom occur regardless

[celest forge]

Weird

[lethal garden]

Its only on some guns, mainly vanilla ones.

[naive snow]

Did you edit the proper ltx?

Some weapons my have some dltx overrides here and there for reposition mods

[lethal garden]

Well. The SVT40 ltx doesnt have a hud_fov section, but there is another gun that Juan made, the "carcano", and it has a zoom also, I removed the HUD FOV from its ltx, but to no avail that time also.

I always edit the ltx that has the highest priority

[naive snow]

Could be part of a mod system file or its the adjustable weapon zoom mod

[lethal garden]

But the SVT40 ltx gives me trouble alot, for example, Ive tried changing the repair type to historic, but it remains Advanced regardless. I edited every SVT ltx i could find

I appreciate the help, hopefully Ill get it settled

[naive snow]

Weapon kit are handled in a single dltx

[lethal garden]

Could you elaborate? Sorry

[naive snow]

Dltx mods are basically a file that can write to any other ltx file sections. They can override, remove sections, add sections, etc

[celest forge]

The dark side of DLTX

you could spend hours looking for what file to tweak and it turns out that it's mod_system_zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzshatmypants.ltx that was changing it

[naive snow]

So for repair kits, every weapon has an entry in a mod_system file somewhere with ![wpn_x] and the repair type assigned there. And it takes priority over the ltx file of the weapon basically

[lethal garden]

Oh I see now, yeah, Ive got some experience with DLTXifying stuff. But I see what to look for now

[naive snow]

The only way to find everything proper is to launch something like Notedpad++ through MO2 so everything is assembled in your anomaly folder, search in files, point it to the anomaly folder, filter by .ltx and search for your weapon [wpn_x]

[random fulcrum]

just don't do z stacking

please

that's like the single cringiest fucking thing you could do

[naive snow]

That will return everything related to your weapon. Dltx files will have a ! in front of the weapon brackets

[lethal garden]

If I threw the svt40 in here and assigned the historic kit to it, that may would work? Unless the other dltx file is overwriting it

[celest forge]

You cannot stop me, damage man

(Only way to make sure it will work, sadly)

[naive snow]

Your weapon is probably in there already or in another mod file like the gamma large files or gun pack

[lethal garden]

Gotcha, thanks!

[lethal garden]

I threw SVT40 into UGPs repair kit config, and it did in fact change it to historic.

[naive snow]

Just be careful of double entries, they tend to cause crashes

[lethal garden]

Gotcha! Thanks for the help

[boreal mural]

Is there a way to make it so you only get pda communication from your faction and your allies, i want to make it that way to give less info on what's around you but i have zero clue how to make a mod

[elfin mason]

Where can i find all the weapon itemnames?

[worn fiber]

In debug item spawn menu,

[toxic sinew]

is there a mod or setting which toggles the HUD completely off unless you're injured, interacting with it in some way, or force it back on? im thinking similar to the immersive hud mod from skyrim.

[raw badger]

ugp 1.6.7 i cant find any link about it

[stable compass]

Thank you for the help, but then I get this error upon pressing the new game button on the title screen

stack trace:

Also sorry if these are super super basic questions, I've never made a mod & I'm not very familiary with Lua

[steady apex]

so you have two variants of writing class functions
its either

function Class:func(a,b,c,...)
...
end

or

function Class.func(self,a,b,c,...)
...
end

the : sign means the self parameter is implicitly defined as a first parameter

the error says the self is nil, so you arent complying to either of those variants, i suggest replacing all your patches to the first variant

[stable compass]

So having a function like this would be redundant?

ui_mm_faction_select.UINewGame:Main_CallBacks(self)

[steady apex]

it would be wrong

[stable compass]

Since the colon implicetly calls self, I can remove self and change all my functions to use colons?

[steady apex]

yes

[stable compass]

Alright, thank you! I'll give it a shot

Also sorry for the ping, forgot that replying does that

[wary scroll]

Hi
I'm new to mod making and don't know how to do this
And I want to learn texture making
How can I start ?and what's the requirements?

And can we start with a simple thing?
Like how to change cordon grass colours from green to dark green

[lethal garden]

Can someone tell me what may be causing my Crafting UI to appear like this? Weapon repair kits require recipe books to be read, the Hideout Furniture crafting section has disappeared. Ive been digging around in alot of weapon LTX files lately but nothing I can recall being related to this. What filename should I be looking for if its due to an overwrite?

[sacred token]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/151-banjajis-crafting-system-improvements

Maybe this?

[stable compass]

This may be a dumb question, but if I'm calling self in a function, I should get all properties within self too, such as self.selected_faction right?

[sacred token]

yes

[naive snow]

Requirements: Any software that can edit textures and save them to .dds or you can convert them to .dds yourself after

[naive snow]

To change the grass, you'd have to edit that map's detail texture. They're in a folder of every level, its an atlas of every grass, shrub, etc. You can edit the grass straight there. Mind you it will only change the grass for that map. FYI cordon is named Escape in the map names

[wary scroll]

Thanks
I'm using Photoshop with Nvidia texture tools plugin so it's only thing I need for changing colours and textures right?

[naive snow]

Yep. Photoshop has everything else.

Exemples of the build_details.dds you need to edit

For saving, the options of format are BC3(dxt5), generate mipmaps, Kaiser filtering, you can also use advanced alpha options if you feel like it

[quartz anchor]

would anyone know how one could change the ammo used in say the USP match, asking for a friend again.

Can someone tell me what may be causing my Crafting UI to appear like this? Weapon repair kits require recipe books to be read, the Hideout Furniture crafting section has disappeared. Ive been digging around in alot of weapon LTX files lately but nothing I can recall being related to this. What filename should I be looking for if its due to an overwrite?

[lethal garden]

Actually I think its this thats causing my problem

[quartz rampart]

there's a version of it in gamma

it's groks version of the mod

whatever UI you're using is overwriting the workbench UI and hiding the furniture section

[ocean jasper]

I made a small python library to parse and explore LTX files: https://github.com/grant-h/pystalker
Only tested on Anomaly unpacked LTX and Linux currently

I'd like to add support for archive (DB) files, but the (de)compression code is a bit hairy. I'd like to be able to parse GAMMA's LTX file tree, but I'd need to handle mod VFS path resolution (e.g. gamedata vs db), so that'll be a work in progress. I made this library to be able to export game object info to JSON for display via a web interface

And this is the WIP. Still a lot to do...

[fair canopy]

So this let's you search for an item and find all ltxs with its reference?

[ocean jasper]

Yeah cross referencing would be a feature

[lethal garden]

holy hell, this will be so helpful

[gritty raptor]

hi guys i am trying to improve my mod by adding mcm options, but i cannot understand why they did not naming properly, can someone explain please?
(this is my first mcm options making process so i am bad)

[steady apex]

it should be gamedata/configs

not gamedata/config

[worn fiber]

One letter and you screwed.

[gritty raptor]

ok i anyway fucked, cause now this shit fully dissapeared

its not becouse of "configs", i changed script a bit, but i can get what am i doing wrong really (discussion closed, about this shit )

[lethal garden]

Can anyone tell me why Mechanics no longer sell the Recipe Books? Or maybe how I can add them back to trader stock?

[fair canopy]

Did you modify trade profiles?

[tawny stream]

Coding moment

[slender whale]

I'm trying to change a mod so that it drops its item as a quest reward for finishing off "scientists" (the one where you have to get artifacts from all over the zone), would I ask in here since its coding required, or elsewhere?

[remote venture]

Hello, I’m interested in making a personal mod that’s basically a rendition half life port of the HEV voice response to various environmental damage sources for SEVA suits.

My aspirations are 3 lines for each damage type at 75%, 50%, and 25% hp according to the damage type sustained that brought the player character to that hp amount.

For the sake of being bombarded with audio at every point depending on your skill level I wanted to incorporate optional times intervals that audio would play.

Always, 5 minute, 10 minute, and 15 minute. Where if you were shot audio response would play then any damage source afterwards would not prompt a response dependent on what optional you choose time has elapsed.

I’ll be doing what I have the ability to do by arranging the voice lines, and audio format/effects.

If anyone who is able to plug it all in to be compatible with gamma finds the concept interesting and would like to work together on this or if there’s someone who would be willing to help under a commission I’d be thankful for any assists

[lethal garden]

No sir. Do you have any idea how I could integrate them back into the game?

[mossy vector]

try this mod ...

[lethal garden]

Thanks dude!

[drowsy plank]

hey ppl, i have recently come under a unholy influence to make the VSS a type c weapon (it might be a lil unbalanced but thats a problem for future me). I've never made my own mod for anomaly or gamma so does anyone know how to go about this/any resources or tutorials to figure it out?

update: i did a little bit of digging and all i needed to do is change the .ltx file for the weapon to have the repair type go from rifle_7 to rifle_5 and that seems to be okay after using it for a bit :))

[surreal gust]

Gamedata folder has:
levels,
spawns,
scripts,
ai,
meshes,
configs,
textures.

[vivid jackal]

anyone know a mod that increases chance of injured/wounded state so I have to finish them off/dead check more often/90% of the time?

[idle stone]

Hi,
Where to give feedback on Mods? Like Fast Travel?
-Or also I believe the modding system of some guns is buggy.

[gritty raptor]

about fast travel u can search in https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1035807043933720576 and if u find it u can leave your feedback, this applies to all mods i guess

[gritty raptor]

can someone pin my last message with updated mod?

[south birch]

Hi, I could use some help from the community.
Can someone explain how and where to get the AKM model from Stalker or Tarkov, I just would like to refine the gun, but I don't know where to get it

[cedar glen]

Hello, where can i download original Ultimate Gun Pack?

cant find it expect some balanced version

where you still need vanilla one

[celest forge]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1181027142331535480

[cedar glen]

so i can only download this one?

[celest forge]

That is UGP yeah

[cedar glen]

thanks mate

i was just confused why they call it lite

thats all

[celest forge]

A more stable version of the old ugp

it deleted a bunch of guns that were bad/caused a lot of problems

[cedar glen]

nice

when it poped out in reco on youtube i got instatly hyped

[rigid sail]

I have an odd issue. Someone's reported (and I've confirmed), that with my reload timing mod enabled, the M249's full reload has an invisible belt until the reload is done. I have no idea how I've caused this, since all I've done is motion marked the hands animation, and the belt is part of the hud animation. I've also run the animation in Blender, and the belt appears to be there. Any insight would be appreciated.

[crude gust]

Could it be possible with weapon config error?
In M249 ltx is that part of reload anm:
anm_reload = m249_hand_reload, m249_reload anm_reload_empty = m249_hand_reload_empty, m249_reload_empty

[rigid sail]

I checked that, only thing is that's not something I touched. So everything should be set up the same as the base mod, with the single exception of a motion mark part way through the reload.

[crude gust]

Are hand hud animations with motion marks can have identical timings with hud animations?

Like copy-paste values?

[rigid sail]

I haven't motion marked the hud .omf, as that doesn't affect the reload timing at all.

[quartz rampart]

does anyone know where the PDA files for anomaly are located. I want to make a mod that changes the PDA in game time, to the real world time for my timezone, and force the character to use the watch in order to know the in game time.

[crude gust]

I have same behavior without or with your mod, so I don't think it's your mod fault. Maybe some universal animation scripts updated by this fella and causing troubles. I have latest.

[vale knot]

Do you play with mags redux

[crude gust]

Me? Yes.

[vale knot]

Yeah the function for visible ammo doesnt work properly with mags

[surreal gust]

Volumetric smoke

after all these years of crashes because analmeme without modded exes won't work

[crude gust]

Curios. How hud animations are depending on scripts inside magsredux (latest version, not from GAMMA)?

[vale knot]

Same deal, its the gun itself

[random fulcrum]

that's why modded exes should be enforced

[surreal gust]

It doesnt work on dx11

Only for dx10 idk why

[crude gust]

I see. So MagsRedux is somehow queuing their anims into anims for guns?

[random fulcrum]

i mean it's still in testing

so that could be one of the reasons

still, modded exes are like

a no brainer

you'd be hard pressed to find literally any reason not to use them

that doesn't involve going to another completely different fork of the enigne

like desolation

[vale knot]

I don't know how it works, just the way nikola did the dynamic ammo belt mags redux doesnt like

Same with bas pkm

[random fulcrum]

in my experience, at least in gamma, the ammo belt thing was always broken

could be just gamma

with or without mags

[vale knot]

Id go check on my thing but don't have access to it atm

[random fulcrum]

looks uncanny

[surreal gust]

70x70x70 resolution tho

[random fulcrum]

can you get a recording of the thing

[surreal gust]

Can't right now

00:25 am for me

its already midnight

It reacts with lighting too

The smoke behaves like it's 60 fps

I'd recommend watching clear sky volumetric smoke dx10 test

it's literally the same here too

The best part is

That it can be added in existing levels with minimal effort

[random fulcrum]

oh!

but the compilation

[surreal gust]

?

It literally takes seconds

All you need to do is build "game" and that's it

copy the fog_volume file

and put it in the existing level folder

I specialize in this type of shit

You don't have to compile anything

If you want to add extra light sources without compiling the geometry

You can just recompile the spawns and merge them and that's it

[random fulcrum]

gahdaym

i was told recompiling maps took centuries

that's a pleasant development

[surreal gust]

Yeah

That's the only thing I love about xray

any type of ai shit applies too

But if you do change the geometry, terrain textures materials bla bla bla

you would have to recompile the geometry related stuff

But not grass

[surreal gust]

It did take me 3 or 6 hours to compile my map in medium hemisphere quality

It is also configurable

in .ltx file format

"sigma"

[random fulcrum]

jesus that's crazy powerful

[surreal gust]

Well there is a problem

It passes through static geometry

It won't pass through geometry that has spawn refrence in it

and probably dynamic geometry too

lvutner did tell me there are shit tons of ways to improve this

[random fulcrum]

oh but you could just use it on underground maps or on swampy areas in the overworld

[surreal gust]

Yes that's clear sky did in underground maps

[random fulcrum]

kinda like how ogsr has these foggy clouds around swamps

also that

[surreal gust]

for clouds not really

you can just use volumetric clouds bla bla bla

[random fulcrum]

not like actual clouds i mean

like small cloud things

at ground level

on the swamp area

fog

[surreal gust]

Smaller density

Any broken lighting is dx10 shenanigans

like on the walls

[random fulcrum]

looks cool anyways

[random fulcrum]

reminds me of dog rounds

from cod zombies

[rigid sail]

Interesting, since I tested it on my end with a default GAMMA install (AKA no MAGS). Default with my included mod enabled, no visible belt on full reload. Same default but with my included mod disabled, visible belt on reload. I'll test it more thoroughly later.

[gritty raptor]

is weapon hud debag in game only for testing values and then copy them to insert manually into configs? cause i cannot apply my changed positions, nothing happen on apply and then pressing continue (weapon position dropped to default)

[fair canopy]

Get draggable hud editor

[gritty raptor]

mean this? https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/draggable-hud-editor

[fair canopy]

Yeah

[lethal garden]

Anyone know where the axe ltx is? I want to edit it to slot 1

[lethal garden]

thanks!

So im having a problem with the Soulslike Mod, Upon death, my health just refills, items are removed from my inventory without placing a stash, no death animation, no respawn. Any idea?

[lethal garden]

Anyone got an idea why the hell ive got 3 Snitches walking around?

[tribal pike]

i edited the silly loading tips mod to say gamma instead of anomaly, not a big deal i know but i guessed how to do it correctly

[surreal gust]

just edit the xml files and thats all if you did that

[hardy hound]

you have ZCP enabled'

?

[severe plover]

hey guys I have a question how can I change the ballistic protection of an outfit

I know I can edit the outfit but I wanna change the br class

[crude gust]

It's complicated. But I think you can try to tinker grok_bo_bone_profiles.ltx

[sweet pike]

how to make sure that when artifacts are found they are 100%

[fallow fractal]

Not a modding question per-say, but can the game saves folder be backed up while playing? I’d like to make a script that runs every few minutes to make a backup (playing soulslike hardcore and concerned with corrupted save files). Is this feasible or would making a backup of that directory while the game is running lead to corrupted files?

[surreal gust]

Also here's the video you asked for

[gritty raptor]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1200529616733999287

[surreal gust]

@undone lily How do you think the volumetric smoke looks like?

I didn't finish configuring it but this has lots of potential

[gritty raptor]

it must not corrupt the files i guess in case of copying them somewhere

[surreal gust]

This can also be added to vanilla anomaly levels with minimal effort

The smoke also reacts to light (excluding sun)

the edges are darker because of hemi values

and they are connected to weather configs

When grenades go through the smoke

they create small holes

[surreal gust]

Proof that we had cs2 smokes since 15 years ago

[fallow fractal]

right but they’re not in some incomplete state or anything? eg if it’s just a copy job i’d still be able to reload those at a later date if needed ?

[undone lily]

not bad but way too dense no ? what would you use that for ?

[regal bolt]

*Smoke grenades *

[surreal gust]

It can be added to vanilla anomaly levels like agroprom underground

I am testing this for now

[slender whale]

Anyone happen to have the icon file for the doppler radar? preferably without the meatchunk artifact but whatever.

[surreal gust]

It looks too dense because I didn't properly configure it yet

The fact that this is from 15 years ago and still looks good

[surreal gust]

The starting point is the densent of them all

I can just move it back a little bit

And the density will not be visible

[gritty raptor]

my guess yes

[surreal gust]

The parameters

If you properly configure the smoke it should look like this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5RMxO5DsPA

[slender whale]

(also that smoke looks good)

[surreal gust]

It will look like this if you PROPERLY configure it

That means the position

density

radius

Before modded exes update you couldn't do volumetric smokes at all

The best part is you don't even have to compile the spawns or some shit for the anomaly levels

All you need to do is configure them and replace the fog volume part

That's it

[lethal garden]

yes

[hardy hound]

most likely that

i remember wayyy back i had the same issue, ended up being zcp

[surreal gust]

despite being 15 years ago the smoke is very complex and expensive to render

the resolution of it is 70x70x70

[lethal garden]

Any idea how to resolve it? I deleted the duplicates of snitch ingame, think theyll respawn?

[hardy hound]

no idea, my solution was to disable zcp xD

[lethal garden]

I see. Thanks

[lethal garden]

Can anyone guide me on how I can change the fentanyl animation to the animation that medkits use?

[oak thicket]

Hello! I'm trying to create my own icons pack. I looked how it is organized in others mods, however, likely, don't understand some crucial points. MO even doesn't show that my mod has any conflicts with others, but it should be since I'm trying to override icons. Attached my trying. Thanks in advance!

[blissful tartan]

Should i put extra guns in gunplay section ?

ones i download off of moddb

[fair canopy]

Make a new section at the bottom of your load order and organize any new mods there

That way it's easy to diagnose when you get a crash

Easier*

[blissful tartan]

ah i see thanks

[supple stone]

are the lists of artifacts that can spawn in each level acording to the DAO artifacts script accurate to ingame?

[blissful tartan]

well i got a crash but good thing i remembered about the trick to get uni_anim_core script from gamma weapon pack to load it under all guns

[fair canopy]

honestly i just took all the anim scripts that keep getting overwritten and leave them at the very bottom of my load order

now that so many guns have fancy extended anims, everyone includes them but theyre not always the most up to date

[blissful tartan]

well game works nicely with the anims and wpo n such so its good :d

with deleting them from trader list and voila

[blissful tartan]

a minigun ?

i gotta see that lmao

[fair canopy]

It's very much a meme gun. I took it from another pack that was abandoned and fixed it up to make it work. I'd like to do a script for it so they if you have exo armor on you can actually run with it

its all well n good but game refuses to even open with that mod enabled lmao

[fair canopy]

Install it in parts

spawn refrenced objects be like

[supple stone]

hello, bit of context first, I've been poking around in game files trying to find info about artefact spawns per area to compile into a readable spreadsheet, in the files for artefacts reinvention there is a folder in gamedata\configs\scripts that contains each area, and the LTX files for each anomaly field within the area, these anomaly field files reference categories of artefacts the fields can spawn, stuff like "af_class_all_north", "af_class_psio_gravi_north", etc. how or could i find where these categories are defined to see what artefacts are in them? there is a "artefacts" LTX file in gamedata\configs\items\settings that list some of these categories, however its dated back to 2019, and is missing some categories.

[blissful tartan]

anyone using new levels ?

[south birch]

Guys, maybe I'm writing the wrong channel . Can anyone explain how to get a 3D model of a weapon from the Stalker files.I'm working on a personal project to create modules for AKM, I made the models themselves, I need an AKM model from the game

You need either a converter for .ogf files or the Pavel Blender xray addon for Blender to be able to import.ogf files directly. You'll find most weapons in your Anomaly/gamedata/meshes/dynamics/wpn/ or legacy anomaly weapons in Anomaly/gamedata/meshes/anomaly_weapons

is there any alternative for this mod that might fix ak5c isg scope and pk-a or is this good enough ? https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/alpha-v0-2d-scope-overhaul

[fair canopy]

I actually made myself a mod specifically for the ak5c out of that. I'll upload it when I get home

I didn't bother with the pka because that's weapon specific but I think @tacit surge is working on doing a bunch of them

[tacit surge]

i'll remove PKA sights from my 2DSO version (useless x1 scope with 2D overlay ). and ak5c with that 3d scope shouldn't spawn in gamma.

[fair canopy]

It does not. My mod adds the kit back into trader inventory

As far as the pka goes. Yeah there's no point in doing them. The model without the pip render has an awful sight picture

[tacit surge]

This sight has too "wrong" shape (square) for 2d shader sights.

[fair canopy]

I had to upscale it and mess with the pov. It's not perfect but imo it's serviceable

It mostly hides the scope Shader

[blissful tartan]

honestly making pk-a a normal red dot and make the isg tactical scope 2d scope would just fix the problem

[fair canopy]

Making the pka a normal red dot would make it the worst sight

[tacit surge]

I make PKa's like that, but who would use a x1 magnification 2D scope?

[blissful tartan]

desperation can make u use a slingshot if it was in the game kek

[tacit surge]

ye, but iron sights is better

[blissful tartan]

ngl i kinda like this

do for the tactical isg scope and you win me over

[tacit surge]

what is tactical isg scope? AK5c?

[vale knot]

This is def better than irons

Just clearer picture

HOW much better i couldnt tell you

[vale knot]

Bro described a red dot

[blissful tartan]

ye

[tacit surge]

but this is just 2D overlay and its looks like this with proper settings. It's not hard for me to make these sights. Will the players use them?

[gritty raptor]

red dot when u have defective color vision

[blissful tartan]

oh most def this sight is pretty common on early runs

dude like if u did the same shit on ak5c isg tac scope im getting it right now :d

[tacit surge]

all right, calm down. There's an update in a few days. I'll include the AK5с leupold scope in it.

[fair canopy]

You can remove the pip effect in the ltx of a pka using weapon but it still sucks physically

The model just has a bad sight picture due to the shape

[gritty raptor]

i guess the most problem with scopes like that is they are HUGE and block a lot of screen space, so u can be peeked out of vision and fucked

[blissful tartan]

noice

which mod btw can u gimme link ?

[tacit surge]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1118909693813862492

thanks bro

looks nice i just installed it for an early look

[tacit surge]

@blissful tartan best i can do for this scope

[surreal gust]

Ok just realized

That the smoke passing through static geometry can be fixed by adding occlusions

the problem is the new sdk has broken fog volumes so i have to use the old one

[lethal garden]

Can anyone guide me on how to add weapon parts to a weapon? Ive got this M32 Milkor launcher, it has no parts. I tried copying a mod parts file from another mod, configured it to how I wanted. But it didnt add any parts to the weapon ? Advice?
