[celest forge]

Yup

I didn't rig the gun, the guy that animated it did

he said it worked fine on his machine

so it's been a mistery since

[naive snow]

Probably need to edit the forward z (or x?) axis of the bone instead

Blender has funky normals

Otherwise the idle animations might have keyed the rotation of the bone

[celest forge]

But that happens when shooting it tho

[naive snow]

Yeah if all animations where keyed with the bone badly rotated, whenever an animation would play the bone would snap to that bad rotatiy

It's probably the firing animation only that would need editing of the keys

[celest forge]

And it doesn't happen when shooting still

or ADSing

[naive snow]

So let me get this straight it only shoots down when you're moving & shooting?

[celest forge]

In my case it shoots to the left, not down

but yeah

[naive snow]

Hip firing while moving

[celest forge]

only when hip firing when you walk

[naive snow]

Hip firing when standing still fucks up too?

You'd probably have to inspect the armature setup and the baked motions to see what info is keyed. Could be something was keyed by mistake with autokey

If you still have a package with the issue, I can have a look tomorrow

[celest forge]

No

Just when moving

lmao

[naive snow]

Hmmmm could be that the bone is badly parented, hence when moving the bone remains at its position until you stop moving at which point it resets the animation and moves the bone back to it's initial baked position. So you're shooting towards a fucked up bone position kinda

Or it's something to do with how xray handles additive animations (the arm shake when moving) could be fucking up the gun bone orientation to the left if the bone axis aren't the same

[celest forge]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/imi-uzi-carbine-moddb

you can take a crack at it ig

[naive snow]

Ight I need to finish this silly vision slot psy protection wearable tin foil mod I've started, but I'll have a look at the Uzi whenever I have some time

[celest forge]

No rush at all

[naive snow]

Huh did you check the comments?

It is the Fire Direction, changing the first section to -1 will solve the problem.

Other people have been reporting the hip firing issue

[celest forge]

I tried that tho

Didn't work

Also no i don't really read the comments of my addons, specially the oldies

[exotic sleet]

I want to add my custom artefacts in the game, but I don't have enough classes in the detectors section, so new art simply not visible for detectors and they still hide. Any solutions? I need copy items_devices.ltx and edit them, or I can do this with dltx?

[sacred token]

This was posted on the Anomaly discord today: #463899353480691738 message

Maybe you can use utils_stpk.set_stalker_data somehow?

Just create a stalker and edit its attributes but I have no clue tho how this works exactly

[wicked latch]

is it difficult to put any reddot on this awesome Strayer Infinity? I used to use Blender in 2003 or so last time

I have seen that mp5 currently being used in gamma accepts BaS scopes so I think it is possible technically

[exotic sleet]

If i have this and i want do more entries like thi using dltx, i need to use ! before section and just added new string?

[fair canopy]

Yup

You need to make sure your dltx is also in the right folder. Usually mod_system in root config folder works

Sometimes you have to do mod_(base file) in a folder above or in that file

[exotic sleet]

ye, mod_system is work, But now, i have 71 class for example, and some art still hide for detectors

sry, eng is not my language, mb its hard for u to understand me

[soft burrow]

Thank you, that's probably what I'm looking for

[high cobalt]

guys, if I want to make a mod for anomaly, for example i want to replace a model of a mutant with my own, and a texture too, where do i learn to do so?

[slow bolt]

1)Modding book in pins
2)Guides on youtube(should still be up)

[high cobalt]

thank you

[regal bolt]

Can someone point me in the right direction of how to fix this scope? I'll fix it myself if I have to b/c I will refuse to use it until it looks correct.

It's the CQBSS

What file/files/folders do I need to dig through?

[fair canopy]

whats wrong?

[regal bolt]

In many cases it is mounted incorrectly to the firearm. It's tilted counterclockwise 45 degrees on all firearms I have checked in the last few versions of GAMMA.

[fair canopy]

artistic rendition

[regal bolt]

I think something was missed that is likely simple to fix

[fair canopy]

if you really want to mess with all of them you need blender

relatively, it is simple

but its tedious and most people dont seem to care that its angled

you need blender 3.2-3.6 and the pavel blend plugin to fix them

then you need to import each scope and fix the mesh, then export it to overwrite the hud

[regal bolt]

I would wager a guess that most people don't even know what they are looking at in regard to firearms, and I don't mean that in an derogatory way. It's just something I see and it drives my ism nuts.

[regal bolt]

Is it possible that this has something to do with canted sights vs a standard optic? Are these factors treated differently with the model?

[fair canopy]

No, it's the mesh

It's just baked into the model

[astral tusk]

ammo_11.43x23_fmj = 8, 1

in this figure is the left number the quantity in stock

what's the right number supposed to mean

from trade_duty ltx btw

[regal bolt]

I'll have to come back to this info, which I appreciate greatly. Today was busy and I have the inlaw over b/c of weather related power loss. Could be a few days even.

[grizzled gorge]

odds, 1 = 100% / 0.10 would mean 10%

[astral tusk]

thanks

[celest forge]

What do you want to change about it

The actual model?

[regal bolt]

The scope needs to be rotated 45 degrees clockwise to be mounted correctly.

[celest forge]

So yes, the actual model?

[regal bolt]

I'd think so. It's just a visual issue, and the scope itself works "correctly" in game.

[celest forge]

Ok so the way the scope system works in anomaly it's not "all guns use this base mesh and attach it"

it's "every gun needs to have a separate model with each scope"

So you need to look up every gun that uses that scope

and then rotate for all the guns that use it

Also correct me if i'm wrong but that's the dual kit with the rmr on front, yeah?

[regal bolt]

I am unsure, but seem to recall at least one firearm that it looks correct on. That would explain that. Would there be some sort of resource that identifies which firearms an attachment is compatable with?

[celest forge]

Like the base scope is fine, it only gets rotated with the rmr kit

[regal bolt]

I have tried this scope on multiple firearms and am not a fan of the "kits". I don't use canted sights. This example is an AMB-17, but it seems to come with a LAM by default. Other weapons that have no secondary sight options will also exhibit this look.

[celest forge]

Maybe gamma changes that, but in my version of BaS, it's only the dual scope kit that gets rotated

But I can't even tell what's the gun that you're holding

[regal bolt]

It's the AMB-17 which has a LAM by default.

[celest forge]

Ah, then that was just retrogue being silly then

Base BaS does not do that

[regal bolt]

It's been something I have noticed since I started playing this game early last year. I have no experience with using 3rd party mods, nor have I ever played base anomaly. I'll happily use the info provided to try my hand at fixing it....even if it is a per-model basis. That's not a problem. It may be tedious, but I think the end result will be worth it. I just can't look at it or use it even though it's a relatively simple graphical thing.

[celest forge]

[naive snow]

Oh boy, that's going to be a real tedium

[regal bolt]

Absolutely lol. I am never scared to try though. I can see what I can do, and worst case scenario I learn something new and never finish what I set out to do.

[celest forge]

It may not be as many guns as you think it is, because again, it's not on the base BaS leupold

[naive snow]

The thing is, it's not a hard task, it's just a butt load of work

[celest forge]

Retrogue for some reason used the kit scope position for the lone scope

[naive snow]

Probably because that's his original model rip

[celest forge]

The reason it's rotated in the kit is because the little knobs would obstruct like half of the rmr

So this makes way more sense that way

[naive snow]

That does make sense. So it's only the standalone leuopold retrorogue renanimation models that would need fixing like the SIG 550

[regal bolt]

Now it makes sense as to why it is that way. Obviously I am clueless about modeling. I understand the idea of realism and using something that exists as a scope, but it's just a wonky implementation. This is something that would never be mounted against canted RDS, as itself is a 1.1 minimum zoom. It seems overly redundant and increases the potential for issues due to added complexity.

Based on that, I likely won't mess with it. Too much stuff in game hinges on that scope being mounted incorrectly lol. Just because I don't use canted sights doesn't mean others don't.

[celest forge]

I don't think they took realism or realistic implementation or use of any of these guns or attachments when putting them into the game

As they should've

[fair canopy]

pretty sure it was a tarkov thing

[regal bolt]

There is a certain amount of artistic liberty in video games. Your understanding helped me grasp why this thing was the way it was. It's a cool scope IRL, but from what I can tell it's an overpriced item that generally will be found within mil/leo more often than a civilian use scenario. Thank God for Vortex lol. They make much more affordable quality optics that the average joe can afford.

[astral tusk]

so im sprinting with a gun and for some reason there's a floating cartridge on the right corner of my screen

[celest forge]

That's normal

[astral tusk]

what's like the best way to fix this without touching the ogf file itself

its kinda getting on my nerves

[celest forge]

Touching the omf file

[astral tusk]

damn

[celest forge]

Which is the animation

That's part of the animation

[astral tusk]

should i just like

uh

remove the texture association

so i cant see it

out of sight, out of mind yknow

[celest forge]

If you remove the texture it will be a dark matte blue

[astral tusk]

so even worse then

can i just completely remove it with blener

or will that break more things

like idk about you but seeing a magical floating cartrdige everytime i sprint gets annoying

[celest forge]

I would suggest making the texture transparent but the casing uses the same texture as all 5.56 ammo guns

[astral tusk]

luckily this thing uses its own

[celest forge]

Which gun is it

[astral tusk]

762x39 mai ap apparently

mk47 (meowie's reposition)

[celest forge]

Ok the mk47 from tcwp

Damn

[astral tusk]

yeah

its k, transparent shell ejections is a lot less annoying to me than yknow an object flying in the corner of the screen at all times

so do i just go on gimp and make it transparent?

[celest forge]

That's one of the solutions of all time

With the few animations I've made I just put the casing inside of the gun instead of the outside

[astral tusk]

ill try that

i have to do it for like every fucking model though

and there's a lot

[celest forge]

I'm assuming they all use a single texture for the bullet tho

[astral tusk]

yeah

no i was considering the blender option

but i dont know fucking shit about blender

imma just say the mk47 uses "experimental caseless ammunition" instead

ok it works, thanks for the adviceorino juanchitorino

[celest forge]

The fuck you mean advice that'll be a $50 consultation fee + obligatory 30% tip

[young juniper]

Anyone a idea on how to convert a lua file back to a working save?

[latent swan]

where is the player/NPC health amount configured? I'd like to make all humans have more 10x more HP, run faster and shoot faster to be like a fps MOBA

[plucky flame]

Hi, i'm trying to edit weapon stats with the debug menu, but it doesn't seem to apply the changes, what can i do?

[astral tusk]

hey @naive snow i think I set up all the paths correctly (extracted the files from anomaly, put it in a mod in MO2, launched blender with MO2) but I'm still getting this error. any hints?

shit wrong image

ye

im guessing its because im missing the objects folder

[fair canopy]

You have to go into the ltx of the weapon itself

[astral tusk]

ok, i got the obj file done but still getting the same errors

[plucky flame]

The ones on gamma weapon pack?

[fair canopy]

Whatever the top ltx that appears in mo2 is. Just make a new mod for it or something else the changes will revert on updating

[astral tusk]

don't fucking tell me the plugin doesnt support blender 4.0

[fair canopy]

3.2-3.6

[astral tusk]

yeah im actually stupid, it works now

huh, i made my edits, but it says i cant export it to ogf because it "cannot find root objects"

got it to work, you have to click the model from the list on the right hand tab

ITS DONE, NO AMMO FLOATING TO MY RIGHT ANYMORE

[fair canopy]

you could have just adjusted the repos until it was out of sight

dont look too hard because a lot of guns have floating mags and ammo behind them

[astral tusk]

yeah i wish i could just ignore it

but once you see it you cant unsee it yknow

also @fair canopy hope you find the fix for the mateba

[fair canopy]

most likely wont be fixed unless i redo the animations

[astral tusk]

😦

nvm @celest forge said it doesnt work

[gaunt tapir]

Anyone willing to give some input on an upcoming update to GMTOP?

The next update will be adding a 'Recommended For:' for the rest of the factions in the new game screen to help with new players...

@ me if you have suggestions and Ill put them in the game if I like them.

[fair canopy]

out of curiosity, did the text overhaul accidentally double the PDA entry for gamma guid and addons?

[celest forge]

Yeah changing that didn't work for me at least

[naive snow]

@celest forge I might have found the issue

The guns and bones are usually always oriented with the X positive axis as the "forward" axis
In the case of the Usi, it was animated with the Y as the positive forward axis

So the gun is modeled and the transform is baked on the X forward, but the animations are all Y facing

[fair canopy]

So the spark needs to be moved 180?

And then inverted

?

[naive snow]

Well it's either fix the bone orientation to instead be Y facing and hope that doesn't make all of the animations explode

Or

Somehow if blender has the functionality to rotate all of the animations and positions to face X proper

[fair canopy]

now we lmg

[fair canopy]

for the muzzle flash it honestly might not be a big issue

if it was a bone with attached parts, it would probably explode

i think you can do that in ogf tool though

[naive snow]

The I've yet to figure out is to have rotation based on the world origin isn't of whatever pivot it currently evaluates

[fair canopy]

random gun loaded but i wonder if you could flip it here

[naive snow]

You'd probably mess everything up by rotating WPN_Body, because everything is parented and relative underneath

Otherwise I'll try and just flip the gun firing animations like so

[celest forge]

Fixed it

[naive snow]

How did you do it?

I was thinking of rotating only the muzzle bone since it's probably never animated

[celest forge]

I will keep my ancient secrets

I had to adjust two values of the fire direction thing not just one

[naive snow]

Where even is this fire direction?

It's not in the Uzi ltx and I don't think I've ever seen it in an ltx either

[celest forge]

It's in the base weapon parameters ig

[naive snow]

Where can you find the default_weapon_params?

[celest forge]

I'm

not sure

[stable vault]

Hello weird question, where do I need to look to find the names of the level transitions? Im trying to write a script to delete some level transitions but I just dont know where to look exactly to find the names of them. Thanks!

[naive snow]

So it's what? a Fire_direction parameter you add to the LTX?

[celest forge]

Yeah

[naive snow]

Interesting, should probably add that to the modding book, there's no reference for this in there

[celest forge]

that's with github right

[naive snow]

Nah I believe it's a Suggest an edit

there's a page for Contributing to this book

https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/meta/contributing/index.html

[honest peak]

I'm trying to use the weapon hud editor, but the devices always get bugged out, how to I fix this?

I'm not finding anything about it on the net, does anyone know hot to fix this glitch?

[fierce garden]

is there a way to hot reload ui to chekc changes? editing xml files is hell

nvm changing resolution worked

[brave tartan]

hello, how I could get back old water canteen (green flask) animation for FDDA? I got old FDDA on me with all the files where old animation was, but not sure how to properly get that old animation into new version of FDDA

[wary scroll]

@naive snow sorry for ping man
So I wanted to say as last time we talked I made what I needed for textures and now I want to know how to make bumps for stalker
I checked YT and yes I know there's a way with Photoshop
But I wanted to know is that the true way for this ?

Like 3 click and I have all I need. or no it's even harder than this

Like I need AO and gloss right?

[narrow stirrup]

try the gunslinger water flask maybe it helps

[exotic sleet]

Guys, i want to add some new arts. My action plan: I create file mod_system... and add new art, for example [af_stas]:af_base. Also, i add absorb section and section for containers. Next, i add new arts in detectors section and spawn class. I missed a lot, but these are the basic steps. In default detectors configs i have only 68 entries for art, which look like this: af_class_50 = af_stas, af_sound_50_ = detectors\art_beep1, af_freq_50 = 0.05, 2. How i can add new entires? I asking because if i use dltx, i lose some arts for detectors - didnt see them

[viscid crater]

Got a question:
If you have a weapon with alternate aim (canted aiming) and it doesn't have options for dual optics (like leupold & rmr)
But it does have a laser,
Would it be possible to make a mod that turns on the laser temporarily while you ADS and off when you stop aiming?

[severe plover]

hey guys is there anyone who knows a mod like gunslinger knife animations for anomaly

only if I knew how to make animations bruh

[fair canopy]

There's a mod that does that I think. Check mods only posting

Pretty sure it was @tacit surge who did it

[tacit surge]

nah. its "fake lasers" by Oleh. This is done purely for my repos. It has this function.

[fair inlet]

It's possible, but you need a list of weapon sections that have a laser and a canted RMR.
Not sure if there's a cleaner solution

[viscid crater]

Oh cool! I'll look, thanks!

[viscid crater]

Ah. What's "repos?"

[viscid crater]

Oh reposition

[stable vault]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1203118683422068777

[viscid crater]

HELL YEA!! LESGOOOOOO DICKS OUT FOR HARAMBE!!

[slow bolt]

The name is the opposite of what was wanted, no?

[stable vault]

It has MCM options to change how it works, I think it can do what they want, I agree tho the name is weird

I think when they said "ADS" they meant "Canted aiming"

[naive snow]

No there's no AO channel in the bump. It's a specularity channel and the normal shuffle

[wary scroll]

So I have to get this 2 channels only ?
Like 3 click and ready to use ?

[paper fossil]

Is there any devs around I could ask about the launcher?
I don't really know where to ask my question
I just want to know how they made it. I'm making one for a fallout mod
Im guessing C+++

[sacred token]

I would've guessed C#

Ask on the Anomaly discord

You probably get an answer there faster than here

[paper fossil]

ahhh right duh

Anomaly is the laucher gamma is the pack right got them mixed up as I've never played vanilla anomaly lol

[viscid crater]

Well it turns it off when I'm looking down the main sight, now if I could only get it to turn off when at the hip so that it only turns on when canted that would be perfect

[grand vigil]

Hello, is it possible to put EOTS-62 in thermal easily with scripts ? please

[tender pawn]

Can I like pay someone to make a mod that makes the Duty OTS-14 compatible with a suppressor?

[exotic sleet]

some artefacts are not displayed on the screen of Svarog, On others everything os ok. What could be the problem?

[tender pawn]

I don’t know what kind of work goes into it or the workhours involved

[atomic geode]

could you tell how this program is called?

[slow bolt]

The one on the pic? Blender

[surreal gust]

Blender 3.6 or 4.0

[naive snow]

That's just blender 3.6

[celest forge]

Is that the groza

[tender pawn]

yez

I know IRL the suppressor can't be used with the grenade launcher, but I'd like to fudge that

[naive snow]

Unless I'm misremembering I think the HUD model already has a suppressor modeled

[cunning hamlet]

that's a bug with DAR, you probably don't have latest demonized modded .exe binaries which are needed for the mod.

update them and then try it out.

[fair canopy]

if his gamma is up to date he does

[cedar lake]

Is there a guide on how to install the adega texture repack and where to place it in Lo

[tawny stream]

I'm sure there is in the correct thread for the mod.

[cedar lake]

My bad.

Found the the thread

[celest forge]

Does gamma change the values of the mossberg 590, and if so, could someone send me that file?

[naive snow]

You mean the stats?

[celest forge]

yeah sorry the stats

i'm eepy at the moment, sadly

[naive snow]

I'm not at my rig at the moment but tomorrow I can send you it

[celest forge]

thx buddy

[naive snow]

How crazy of an idea would it be to make an akimbo version of pistols or one handers do you think?

[celest forge]

Depends

[naive snow]

If I simply made the other pistol with a duplicate armature parented underneath the original wpn_body

As long as the second wpn_body is offset and doesn't move, I could mirror most of the animation work and time offset the shots. The reload animation itself is what would probably require the most time

[celest forge]

Depends if you want to make it true akimbo

or just a visual gimmick

[naive snow]

What do you mean by true?

[random fulcrum]

true akimbo shouldn't be possible

at best you can get away with counter strike akimbo

or hunt showdown akimbo

as in lmb fires one gun and then the other one

through scripted anims

[naive snow]

Ah okay yeah that's what you mean

Yeah I'm definitely not the type of right click left click right click shenanigans for dual guns F that

[celest forge]

True as in two separate mags

[naive snow]

I honestly just want to make proper mac-10s and akimbo with Artis special ammo for fire breath ammo.
Live back my days of killing floor

[celest forge]

shoot right with rmb, shoot left with lmb

If just a visual gimmick, not super hard I imagine

Personally I would go the Goldeneye route and make the reload offscreen

[naive snow]

Yeah I ain't dealing with the hassle of two mags. Combine the ammo count and call it a day

[naive snow]

I thinking reload mags eject with a flick to the side, either wrist push reload one at a time or a slam reload on legs magic reload

Either way it's magic and I ain't gotta explain how the fuck the mags are standing against gravity. Just make the description about the gun using gravity artifacts or what not

[celest forge]

That ought to be fun to animate lmao

[naive snow]

Yeah I'll need to dust off my animation skills. I've animated plenty in maya, but blender is a new thing

Any hand rig you recommend?

[celest forge]

I use this one

[naive snow]

Neat, thanks

[storm basin]

does anyone know any mods/wip mods for AI?

imo that's one of the most needed type of mods and I don't see much of that at all

[lethal garden]

I'm using the MP7 from the previous version of GAMMA, whenever I use a silencer, the sound is missing. Any advice?

Is there some way I can assign another weapon sound for the silenced MP7? I dont see any sections in the LTX that refers to sounds though.

[halcyon nebula]

I hope someone in here can help me because I am to stupid to figure it out myself...

I know there is scripts for this game (I am using an auto walker) but, since I am suffering from the fucking FOV change glitch every other reload, I would like to know if there is an option to bind a script to an often used key (r for example) that automatically sets the FOV to the desired value

[fair canopy]

Go into free zoom tricks in mcm and set pistol slider down

[naive snow]

Check any weapon LTX and they usually have a full sound section

[atomic geode]

oh, got it, thank you!

[lethal garden]

Once I do find a LTX that includes a sound section, what can I do next? Add it to the MP7 ltx?

Thanks dude. Sorry for the bother

[naive snow]

@celest forge Here's the mossberg file, it's from EFT reposition BWRR vanilla stat patch from Sneaky

[naive snow]

Yeah just imitate it and put whatever sounds you already have

[celest forge]

Are those the damage stats that the 590 uses in gamma?

[naive snow]

Should be, there's might be funky stuff going on with a DLTX let me check

So there's a DLTX for the RPM in mod_system_weapons_fixes_GAMMA.ltx
Sets the RPM to 75
Couple of DLTX for sounds

No wonder it felt fucking underwhelming with that hit_power values

[celest forge]

Oh so the gamma ballistics mods don't touch it

[naive snow]

Yeah just imitate it, exemple of the sound section of the saiga 12. Find where the sounds for the MP7 are and plug those in the proper snd_ section
snd_draw = weapons\saiga_eft\draw
snd_holster = weapons\saiga_eft\holster

    snd_shoot                = wpn_saiga_snd_shoot
    snd_shoot1                = wpn_saiga_snd_shoot
    snd_shoot2                = wpn_saiga_snd_shoot
    snd_shoot3                = wpn_saiga_snd_shoot
    snd_shoot_actor         = wpn_saiga_snd_shoot_actor
    snd_silncer_shot        = wpn_saiga_snd_silenced
    snd_silncer_shot_actor    = wpn_saiga_snd_silenced_actor        
    snd_reload                = weapons\saiga_eft\tacload
    snd_reload_empty        = weapons\saiga_eft\emptyload
    snd_reload_misfire      = weapons\saiga_eft\unjam
    snd_empty                = weapons\saiga_eft\dryfire
    snd_ammo_check            = weapons\saiga_eft\magcheck
    snd_ammo_check_empty    = weapons\saiga_eft\magcheck

[naive snow]

Nah the only thing Grok_bo changes seems to be the toz106. There's modifications tho for the Ammo used however

[celest forge]

Huh

Interesting

[naive snow]

There's a couple of other spots too where it checks for specific ammo types like the buck or shrepnel

Mostly to reduce increase the pellets penetration it seems

Ah there's also a range reduction happening as part of mod_system_shotgun_range_balance_Larkin.ltx
Changed the fire _distance to 250

[random fulcrum]

bruh it literally ADDS

[naive snow]

Momo weren't you taking a break? Not that I mind, since you're usually the only one who knows what the fuck is going on

[random fulcrum]

i mean come on it's a common math sign

[naive snow]

I didn't actually read the line before typing and I'm clinically retarded in the morning

Not gonna lie for a good 10 seconds I was scratching my head trying to figure out what ADDS was an acronym for, I'm that dumb at the moment

[olive wyvern]

i might make a stocks mod

invest in mcdonalds from within the zone

[tender pawn]

I’d love a mod that improves AI and gives mutants the ability to react properly to you getting on higher elevation, maybe even give them the ability to climb it

[simple scaffold]

pharmesutical and tech companies. have the differant factions selling artifacts differant corps. randomize it every game so ppl have to watch the stocks and thier actions to figure it out.

[olive wyvern]

McDonalds

they are number 1 american pharmaceutical organisation

[simple scaffold]

well yeah, who dio you think id buying flesh eyes

[olive wyvern]

give many sick people to a insurance

for money making

ez

[olive wyvern]

that give me different ideas maybe a black market

the whole zone is a one but this can be per-day trades

u can do from pda

one day its one item for another, then different after

[simple scaffold]

The game uplink had a stock market you could affect. was eaier just to hack banks but it was neat still

[tawny stream]

Invest in Agroprom

Sure the research institute has some issues rn but they still supply the bread flour for the Zone.

[lethal garden]

What the hell are we talking about

[sage pier]

Sup bros, does GAMMA come with DXML modded exe installed or nah?

[fair canopy]

Yes

[undone lily]

Nope I never changed that’s BAS default stuff

[celest forge]

Yeah it was just Retrogue that did that way

For some reason he used the Leupold of the dual tactical kit for the base leupold

[fair canopy]

Maybe he just liked it

[celest forge]

Can someone send me the ltx file of the remington 870 please

[celest forge]

thanks

[grand vigil]

hello I don't know anything about coding can someone help me?

[stable vault]

Yo anyone know what animation/sound cocaine uses? Cant find it in FDDA im guessing its a base anomaly file?

[sudden rune]

[stable vault]

[fair inlet]

yes it's vanilla. Must be some inv_sniff variation. Animation is probably generic item use

[stable vault]

Ok thanks I'll poke around the files see what I can find

[slow bolt]

There is no animation

only cam animation, which is generic vanilla

[restive robin]

Does anyone know if there's a reanimation for the usp45 out there? I looked around a bit but can't find one

[celest forge]

BaS adds an USP that uses the glock animation

That's about it

[restive robin]

Are you talking about the usp tactical ?

[celest forge]

I don't remember the name

I think so

[restive robin]

If only there was one to replace the animations for the standard usp. I think they currently use gunslinger animations but they might be one of the worst pistol animations left in anomaly

[celest forge]

Gunslinger animations?

[restive robin]

yup

[celest forge]

You're not going to get better animations than those

lmao

if you think those are the worst you're cooked

[restive robin]

They are not that great

[sudden rune]

[restive robin]

Like who thought it was good idea to have the character to take all their fingers off of the pistol grip while reloading a pistol. Compared to the pistol animations we have from blindside and now from firebreather the usp reload is pretty bad

[naive snow]

Where's the loot factor for ammo for dead bodies?

[restive robin]

I think theres an option somewhere in MCM

[stable vault]

Drop Condition in MCM

[dusty quest]

Hi there, I have never know about Anomaly coding
But I want to make this mod as compatible to modded exe version (author says he didn't)
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/shader-based-bodycam-like-effect-mod
Is there anyone has a clue about making a mod to modded exe version? (sorry for poor english grammar)

[sudden rune]

There already should be a preset like this in gamma. AtmosBody or something like that.

[stable vault]

I am trying to make double barrel shotguns have a "hyperburst" fire mode that shoots both rounds at once but not having much luck by adding fire modes and rpm modes to the ltx files, is such a thing possible at all?

[dusty quest]

This is different, this is a shader based not the reshade preset

[sudden rune]

[dusty quest]

Just check the desc then you will notice

[sudden rune]

Reading is an issue

[stable vault]

@restive forge It seems animations are tied to weapon class so thats why its breaking

So we could in theory make a custom weapon class for this but thats a bit over my head and I am tired right now. I will look into it further tho. I thought this would be simple

[restive forge]

That weapon class is preventing everything from making it work

[lethal garden]

Okay, I attempted at my understanding of your instructions. Came up with this. Yet, the sound is still missing for the silenced shots. Now, I will note again, that I am using the MP7 that was formerly in GAMMA before the latest MP7 reanimation. Any further advice on what I may have done wrong?

[fair inlet]

Do you have the Oleh's Weapons Sounds Tweaks and Fixes mod? smg57 sound section is exclusive to this mod, use something different

[lethal garden]

Yes I do.

Alright.

[lethal garden]

Alright, so I swapped the smg57 section, yet still no success. If you wouldnt mind, could you tell me what Im missing? Thanks for the help,

[fair inlet]

move your selected lines below the [wpn_mp7] line, if it didn't help use DLTX

[lethal garden]

Okay, once again. I appreciate it!

[lethal garden]

If i was to use DLTX, which lines would I mark with "!"?

[fair inlet]

![wpn_mp7]

[lethal garden]

Okay, just wanted to clarify.

pls dont h8 me

[lethal garden]

Still havent gotten it to work, Im at a loss here. A "wpn_mp7_sounds" is assigned in the LTX, so I went to that ltx file and edited the silenced shot sounds there.

Feel no need to assist me further, Ive given up on this

thanks for the help though!

Now, I do believe there is another config file that contains wpn_mp7_sounds that is overwriting the one that I can find. But Im not able to locate any other file with the mp7 sound section

[fair inlet]

overwrite wpn_mp7, not the sounds section

[lethal garden]

Once I mark ![wpn_mp7] I get this crash upon loading.

[fair inlet]

you might want to check the DLTX guide in the modding book

[lethal garden]

Alright, thank you.

[naive snow]

@lethal garden Honestly, your best bet when attempting to mod any weapon in the soup is to grab Notepad++, add it as an executable for MO2, launch it and hit Search in file. Scan your directory of Anomaly/gamedata and filter using *.ltx
You want to search for ![wpn_mp7]
To check if any mods are currently writing via dltx to the weapon configuration

[tawny stream]

Sheeit, that's a good protip.

(as someone who managed to mess with a modded gun and break the entire thing)

[storm basin]

boys does anyone have an idea how one would go about fixing this? it's because of this mod https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/faction-rank-inventory

it happens when I put a pistol in the top left slot where binoculars usually are

[narrow stirrup]

guys what compression do you use to save ui icons?

[slow bolt]

BC3-DXT5

[narrow stirrup]

Thanks!

[slow bolt]

also could use one of the *8*8*8*8 options. Dont remember which one

[slow bolt]

Think its RGBA, in that order. That is the one. R8G8B8A8, linear R8G8B8A8

[unreal holly]

this is my first time editing textures, im editing a HUD icon, what settings to i put when exporting?

i tried wit hthese settings but it crashed

[naive snow]

Same answer as above, BC3

[unreal holly]

i just realized thats what they were talking about lol

🤷

[grand vigil]

Hello, I need help for modifying a script but I don't have much knowledge...
I would like to use the following mod for it to work which is the EOTS-62 (gauss_sight).
Any help will be welcome, thank you.
You can mp me.
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/heatvision-v02-extension-for-beefs-nvg-dx11engine-mod

[unreal holly]

i figured it out

[red siren]

has anyone made the ground branch nods as a mod for anomaly?

[potent delta]

So it's something I mentioned in the Stalker Chat just a moment ago but felt like it would do well to drop the idea here as well;
If not a direct DLTX version of Tarkov's crouch system, where it's multiple levels of crouch that you cycle through, then the idea of a keybind that causes your character to uncrouch to the exact level required in order to ADS over cover that you are currently behind, provided you are currently crouched to some degree and your gun is raised due to being against a 'wall'?
Not sure if the idea has been tossed around before, sorry if I'm re-treading old ground.

Think the way CoD handles its 'smart lean', to some effect.

The idea being that you put your gun and arms on the cover you're behind and peek up from behind it. Rather than standing up fully so you can see over the last two inches of your cover, exposing another 40% of your body.

[naive snow]

How would I go about bringing back trading with stalkers instead of only traders?

[stable vault]

Disable "G.A.M.M.A. No trade with random stalkers"

[naive snow]

Also did anyone make a fix for the multitool being used for general dissassembly over proper tools like grooming kits for armors?

[stable vault]

I think the "144- Prefer Best Disassembly Tool - Demonized" mod is what does that

But dissablng that might not actually fix that issue as the game will just use whatever tool it finds first by default

Might be able to edit it to function differently tho

[naive snow]

I mean reading up the .script it should pick the tool with the least degradation factor, so I'd expect the grooming kit to be used first

[stable vault]

It doesnt seem to do that tho from my experience, always uses the multitool

[naive snow]

Ah yeah alright the title is confusing, it always picks the multitool regardless of othertools in your inventory to preserve grooming kits and swiss knives

Itheon's mod is actually what I was looking for
https://github.com/lTheon/iTheon-Pick-Best-Disassembly-Tool

[lethal garden]

Thanks, great advice man!!

[halcyon nebula]

I have a question. Is there a way to have sewing kits and field armorer packs have more uses but restore less?

[halcyon nebula]

I have changed the amount of health a sewing kit/field armorers kit restores, but the change doesnt happen ingame.
I made sure the items_repair.ltx isnt being overwritten by anything else

[stable vault]

sections of ltx files can be overwritten using DLTX without overwriting the actual file, there is probably something doing that.

[tawny stream]

Somebody had that script and provided a link when you posted about it

[potent delta]

Oh? Where?

[tawny stream]

Wherever the hell you posted it; Suggestions, I think.

Maybe someone else had the same idea and I'm losing it

But there was a posted mod

(If I find it I will link)

[tawny stream]

Ok, so I was partially correct. Script is for leaning. I didn't read too much further to see if it also does crouch.

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1192607122962264074

But like DHL, I kinda delivered

[potent delta]

Oh! It's a somewhat similar idea but it's for the actual leaning left and right. Not quite what I was looking for but I appreciate it nonetheless!

[lethal garden]

Someone please create a mod that implements a suppression mechanic

[grizzled gorge]

wdym suppression

[lethal garden]

As in "suppressive fire", implement a mechanic that makes NPCs react to gunfire, to force the enemy to move to cover, to deny them access to certain areas, etc.

A better explanation.

wrong vid

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0j2QCioEP-k

[grizzled gorge]

So you want an AI mod that makes enemies react to suppression?

[lethal garden]

Correct!

And also, an overlay effect that affects the player, for example, look at Battlefield 4, it has a splendid implentation on effects of suppression in a video game.

[slow bolt]

bruuuuuuuh

might as well remake the engine

[slow bolt]

that should be easy as IIRC game has a callback when someone fires at you

[grizzled gorge]

Check out this mod, perhaps you'll find something useful or some hints to create your own.
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/ai-combat-pack-for-anomaly-152

[lethal garden]

Ah yes. I found that a day or so ago! Thanks!

[lethal garden]

I believe it would greatly enhance gunplay

[sacred token]

They checked out the code of it on the Anomaly server. Turns out some of it is just bs

[lethal garden]

Wow. Damn dude thats disapointing.

[sacred token]

Yup

[lethal garden]

Anyone agree with me on this? That the scope texture of some of the PSO scopes could use a better texture? Something closer to the tone of the AK in the picture.

Same with this G36 provided by RWAP, it doesnt look great.

I use DX8, that could be why.

[slow bolt]

You play low-end stalker

[thorny heath]

hey guys, is it possible to create new levels for anomaly? i have some experience with level design and im quite interested on messing around with anomaly and its assets

[random fulcrum]

there are like 3 people in the entire anomaly scene that know how to do maps

[thorny heath]

damn, same for MGSV xd

is there any documentation on it ?

i just saw some docs about it

quite interesting

[slow bolt]

you wish

[thorny heath]

should i use the anomaly unofficial sdk for it or is there a better one ?

[slow bolt]

Xcvb, justsilverguy and kriryon know how to

2 out of 3 of them are in anomaly discord only

[thorny heath]

i will see if i can manage to find my way without them, i dont want to bother anyone

[naive snow]

You can ask @surreal gust all about his past month's pain and suffering with creating a map

[surreal gust]

well the ones i know who know how to make maps are

meatchunk

me

vehchunk i think thats his name

and vehtam

[low spindle]

Hey yall,

I play on a low fps build. Because of this, sudden headmotion really messes with me and its hard to see. I was playing the Misery + gunslinger repack and noticed there was no head movement for recoil, only "perceived" recoil from the gun onscreen - the camera stayed put. This helped alot with my motion sickness.

Is there a way to disable the headmovements from shooting altogether? I know gamma is SYSTEMS ON SYSTEMS deep and that there may be multiple places for this value but is there a main value that controls this? (i do not have enhanced recoils effects enabled in settings)
If not, what value controls this so i can get started making a patch for others?

Thanks.

[fair canopy]

What's all the secrecy around making maps. Post your tools. Post a guide, and maybe others can do it

[random fulcrum]

open grok_bo_enhanced_recoil.script and comment line 164

[low spindle]

TESTING NOW <3

[low spindle]

Perfect, thank you!

[surreal gust]

in anomaly

[naive snow]

There's no secrecy. Fact is, the tools are abysmal and there's no actual documentation about how the level editor of the various SDKs floating around work. So it's pretty much all trial and error until you figure out what works and what doesn't. There's information for the terrain material setup in the Anomaly modding book but that's a about it. Aside from that you just need a library of objects, a beefy PC to compile everything and bake the lightmaps for your map. Knowledge in modeling/uv making is a must for terrain sculpting as you need to do it in a 3rd party software like Maya or Blender. The hardest part is getting to grips with the sheer number of things you need to know/make for a new map

[surreal gust]

its the same proccess as in call of pripyat

but its trickier

[fair canopy]

[surreal gust]

Once you know all of this

you feel like you have einstein knowledge

[thorny heath]

does the call of chernobyl sdk work with anomaly ?

the unofficial sdk link for anomaly is dead

[surreal gust]

Any sdk for 0.7 will work

use hybridxray

its easier

[thorny heath]

is it in russian ?

[surreal gust]

no

the localisation for russian is optional

its in the sdk settings

never use any 0.6/0.5/0.4 version sdk

that will not work

otherwise you will get spawn issues

[thorny heath]

i want the english version, i saw that the github page was on russian and thought that the tools would also be on russian

[surreal gust]

no its not

there is a description in english

it's a little bit hidden

[thorny heath]

what about assets ?
i need to extract them from anomaly files ?

[surreal gust]

forget about that

that won't work

you need the original call of pripyat gamedata and original sdk 0.7 rawdata

for the sdk to function properly

[thorny heath]

oh

[surreal gust]

If you do everything correctly it should look like this

[thorny heath]

i need the original call of pripyat files 1st

i dont have them right now

[surreal gust]

https://mega.nz/folder/zFBiWSAJ#5_MSuGpVPb7QqcPH00nC7w

[thorny heath]

oh thanks

[surreal gust]

Install the SDK 0.7 full version 64 bit

only take the gamedata and rawdata the rest is not needed

also dont replace any files if it asks you to

[thorny heath]

you mean this one here ?

[surreal gust]

No

I gave you the link.....

already....

[thorny heath]

the MEGA one ?

[surreal gust]

Yes.

[thorny heath]

i thought it was only the assets, my bad

[shy oxide]

i've compiled some icons for the pda beastiary if anyone wants to use them to replace the old ones

[thorny heath]

got it working i think

[surreal gust]

You didnt place the gamedata and rawdata from the link i set you

You need that if you want the SDK to function 100% properly

If you do the level transitions correctly (very difficult and confusing) this is the end result

[steel thorn]

Hey guys does anyone knows how can a tweak some spawns locations of stalkers ? Like I want stalkers to appear in school Outstriks and etc. Want to restore original spawns from anomaly

[thorny heath]

just MEGA things...

[surreal gust]

Bro

Only install the full sdk 0.7 64 bit

Its literally right in that mega link

[thorny heath]

i did that already

[surreal gust]

Then unpack it???

It already has the gamedata and rawdata

[thorny heath]

i know, i opened it

[surreal gust]

Brooo

I meant the one at the mega link

You need that file because it alreafy

Has a full gamedata cop folder

And full rawdata folder

[narrow stirrup]

Is there any way to attach the zombie models to the npc stalker models?

Or is it randomized?

[surreal gust]

What do you mean randomized

Stalker models are stored in .ogf format

[narrow stirrup]

i want to know if is attached to an specific npc model the zombified model by any ltx config file

cause i was playing and a bandit just become a mercenary zombified on an emission

[lethal garden]

Im much more happier with this

SVD texture is ass though dont ask

[regal bolt]

is there a mod that lets you actually manually play the guitar with buttons?

[sacred token]

nope

[tawny stream]

Yeah, zombie models are only a small number compared to the NPC model variety. They are distinct models.

[narrow stirrup]

but is there any kind of relation between zombie models and the npc model? something that makes x zombie looks like x stalker or at least something similar? cause you can see some npc turn into zombies in a blowout if you enable that option

[tawny stream]

No. The game picks from the available zombie models and replaces the NPC

[narrow stirrup]

Thanks for the info i was looking for a config ltx but seems that this feature does not exist

[narrow stirrup]

How can i set the sounds when you attach scopes at the weapon? it is on his config.ltx?

[verbal finch]

how hard would it to add new consumable items to the game? i basically want to make a mod that adds more drugs to the game, right?

so players can get their walter white on and slang chems in the zone

and im wondering how feasible it is to learn how to do that with no experience with modding, or if its a far fetched idea and not something worth even trying to do as a newbie

im not sure if there are guides or places to start so please inform me if anyone can c:

[low spindle]

Hello,

Is there a way to see the name of the ambient track that is playing?

[verbal finch]

i think it should say in the console somewhere when its playing

not sure though

[narrow stirrup]

wpn_rem700_aics:0:0 <----------what does it mean those 2 values after the weapon name when you are adding a new weapon to npc loadouts?

[celest forge]

attachment and ammo type

[narrow stirrup]

is the 0 something like all avaibles on random or something like that?

[celest forge]

no that'd be r

[narrow stirrup]

wpn_l96a1m:r:0

like this one?

and the other 0 is the ammo¿

ammo type 0.... it's the fmj?

i guess i should only check a similar weapon and copy those values

Gracias Juan

[celest forge]

De nada Sergi

[storm basin]

is there a way to slow down the running speed of stalkers in general?

it would be amazing if the crazy running speed of enemies in fights was lowered significantly

[naive snow]

I believe there's a mod that boosts the speed of NPCs, look in your Mo2 with search terms related to it

[soft burrow]

naah you've caught imposter syndrome my dude
I just repurpose code written by people that actually have a grasp of the engine and programming

[tawny stream]

That's worthy enough if you know how the pieces fit. A step toward proficiency

[granite hemlock]

LOL
This sounds soooo mysterious...
Makes me proud to know that I hold possession of this Ancient Knowledge

[granite hemlock]

Read these, thoroughly:

• https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/
• https://sdk.stalker-game.com/en/index.php?title=SDK
• https://www.moddb.com/games/stalker-call-of-pripyat/tutorials
  Everything, not just COP related stuff, SOC and CS too (the game does not matter, the terminology is the same in all of them; and a COP map practically works straight in Anomaly). On moddb only the level design related stuff is needed.
  If You did it, think You understand it, and You are still ready for it... come back

[thorny heath]

that is a lot of stuff to learn but i will, it will take some time since i dont have much free time
thanks friend

[granite hemlock]

Xcvb: I wouldn't bother him
He is a nice guy, but afaik he stated that he will NEVER EVER touch Stalker SDK again
(which means he won't want to talk about it either)
Oh, did I scare You?

[granite hemlock]

Yepp, and that's just the tip of the iceberg, since there will be fresh issues when You start working, which have no tutorials about.
Of course, there are modding related stuff in the Anomaly modding book and Stalker SDK too. You can skip those.
But You should read these, these are needed. Unless those people gonna have to describe it, who will help You. It would make our life easier

[tacit bridge]

anyone active

how to removw these floating leaves in my mod they are causing lag

[granite hemlock]

Who have? For example my precious free time is consumed by this monster, which is called 'Stalker Mapping'

[narrow stirrup]

I have been adding some weapons, sadly those even having the same inspect animation than others that works it doesn't with the last weapons added, what could it be, probably the bones? anm_bore = ddm4v5_hand_boring, idle <------------that animation is working on a diferent gun from the same modpack

[granite hemlock]

But seriously, although smokey didn't mention me (which means 'officially' I shouldn't suffer with teaching rookie mappers ) , if You educated yourself a bit, and get stuck without help, ask me. I'll gladly help if I can.
But chances are, that I have even less freetime than You
And I now how painful it is for a 'teacher' when You don't know the very elementary stuff (been there 😏 ).
What did You map for?

[thorny heath]

MGSV

new maps and ACCs

but making maps for mgsv is very limited, no custom terrains and no navmesh :(

[granite hemlock]

Oh, You want custom terrains too? Then You must know blender perfectly well 🤭

If not, then add it to my list

[thorny heath]

i dont mind re-using ones from the game

if possible

[granite hemlock]

totally

[celest forge]

There's BaS guns that have more polygons than meadows probably

[thorny heath]

is it possible to edit the terrain decals on those ?

[granite hemlock]

Yeah, terrains don't have much polys, and honestly they don't have to. With lush vegetation, You won't see it anyway

[granite hemlock]

The terrrain materials are drawn this way: https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/mapping/multimaterial-terrain.html
You can change/add custom materials, and You can change the pattern as well, with a relatively easy process (You don't even have to touch the SDK)

[thorny heath]

i thought it would be a bit more complex

[granite hemlock]

There are three materials on that terrain, and they are configured by a simple basic coloured map, which You can even redraw, and add it as a mod.

[thorny heath]

wow

is there any "rules" about map making ? like stuff that can cause issues etc...

[granite hemlock]

The one for Cordon:

Here red is grass, blue sand, yellow asphalt

[thorny heath]

what software is used to create those textures ?

[sage pier]

Anyone here have any experience with creating hotkey mods? Been trying to bind a hotkey to the filter swapping animation in Toxic Air and I am stumped. Managed to achieve it in Western Goods with the BIC Lighter but this is arrrrrrd.

[naive snow]

You can either paint them on top of a uv layout you'll export in blender and then paint in paint.net, gimp, Photoshop,etc. My preferred solution is to paint it directly in Blender with the texture painter mode. Substance Painter too will work decently well and allows you to preview your work without being in game if you set it up properly

[surreal gust]

meadows terrain is huge

i don't know why would they even release an unfinished map to anomaly

literally grass going through asphalt

bad mask file

[granite hemlock]

Does it really? Didn't notice... tho when I played Anomaly 'properly' was a long time ago, and I didn't look at the maps from a designer perspective.
Let's fix it then 😋

[granite hemlock]

literally anything, any image manipulator

[thorny heath]

do i need any plugin, like the NVIDIA one ?

[naive snow]

You will, the game only accepts .dds and a few compression formats

[granite hemlock]

Only one, but it is very important, a Golden Rule: 'Don't do stuff which crashes the game!'

[slow bolt]

Why? you dont need any fancy tools

Like you really dont

[granite hemlock]

Gimp can do DDS export, and most of the times it's fine. Paint.net too. The safest is to use the built-in image editor to convert. Or a separate Stalker DDS converter

[simple scaffold]

i use paint.net and gimp

just find the compression setting from the modding book.

[slow bolt]

yeah, exactly

[simple scaffold]

like if you know photoshop and are good with it and have it use it, but then you wouldn't need to ask about a dds plugin you'd just go find it. if you need to ask the answer is: use gimp or paint.net

(gimp and pain.net is a very differnt part of the internet)

[thorny heath]

i will use paint.net, seems to be easy to learn

[granite hemlock]

'pain.net':

Decompress Anomaly dbs and start to get familiar with it. If You interested in terrains, then search for the ..textures/terrain dir; the *_mask files are responsible for the material blend. Open one in Pain.net, invert alpha and You'll see the image I sent above. You can paint anything on it with the same colours. Invert alpha back, export it, and load it into Anomaly as a mod. The terrain material patterns will be different, according to your changes. If I'm correct, tho I have done it only a very few times, and now I'm not at my PC

[naive snow]

Simply because I like muh fancy tools and I actually use some of the more obscure features like alpha coverage and such

Plus the display compressed previewer is a nice quality of life feature for inspecting the output and alpha channel tweakings

[surreal gust]

mask files are responsible for where each different material is located on the terrain

level shaders do the material blending

[narrow stirrup]

how can i use the animation that a gun makes when you stay without moving to inspect animation?

[granite hemlock]

Yeah, precisely. Let's talk clear 😏
My terminology 🙄

[regal bolt]

Anyone who knows how to implement guns into stalker gamma? I have reload animations and model

[naive snow]

Create a new LTX for the weapon, or reuse one of a similar gun, drop it where all of the other ltx for weapons are. Drop the weapons in the right folder, reference it properly in your LTX and make a world model and a hud model. Make sure you have your HUD animations all packaged in a .OMF, reference that too in your ltx and voila

[regal bolt]

What's a ltx?

[naive snow]

The basic file type of items, weapons, armors, etc

It's a text file format

[regal bolt]

Do I change the directory of which these callouts are connected to?

I only have like Maya reload animations and model

[olive wyvern]

could do channel remixing to get this out of a openGL normal map

wait thats materials oops

maybe blender weight paint export

[naive snow]

You'll need more than that, you'll need a take out animation, a fire animation, an idle animation, a fire animation, an unjam animation, a gun switch animation, etc

[surreal gust]

No

Red is grass

Earth is blue

Green is asphalt

White alpha is sand

[naive snow]

You'll need to point to your new weapon in the LTX file yeah.
Weapons world models go in Gamedata/Meshes/dynamics/weapons
Weapons HuD models go in Gamedata/Meshes/anomaly_weapons
Hands animations go in Gamedata/meshes/hud_hands_animation
Textures go in Gamedata/Textures and you need to make sure that the HUD and World model all point to the same place for the relative path of textures

You can make a wpn_''insertWeaponName'' folder under every one of those if you want to stay organised

Oh and the weapon config files (ltx) go under Gamedata/configs/items/weapons/

I guess you can reuse whatever is a similar in terms of sounds and use those, tho they might not match to your gun's animations

[regal bolt]

Thanks I'll try

[naive snow]

For clarification a weapon's world model is the model that the engine uses whenever a weapon is dropped into the world or put on a rack. It's also the model used by NPCs. You need to have a least a ONE bone shape (or collider)
weapon HUD models are the models you hold in your hands and displayed up close. Those don't need collisions

Those two models need to be exported in the engine format for models, which is .OGF

[twilit grail]

Can anyone tell me where I can find the Body Health System config file? I want to remap the 'Hide UI' bind

[naive snow]

Just check your MCM and check MCM all keybind, find the one responsible for the hide ui and remap it there

It's not there

where can I find the config file?

[tawny stream]

Thank you for this. I'm doing a very simple thing for myself, and though I'm pretty sure I've duplicated the models I need, when I try to use the gun, I have no HUD model.

[fair canopy]

Place mags at 202 in load order

[languid merlin]

I didn't understand

[naive snow]

Check the mod files

[naive snow]

You're probably missing some hand animations or something, if the weapon isn't pulling up. If your hands are empty and you're not crashing, it's probably a bad animation

[tawny stream]

No hands at all. The gun will fire and empty the mag, but no reload. I think what I'm going to do is start over and let it reference the original model and step through until I break it again.

This error is the bane of my existence

I remember getting this error a lot when I started porting my map to anomaly

didn't know what it was until I realized that...

I had to merge all.spawn with my level spawn file

[celest forge]

In my case seems to be a corrupt MO2 instance

[surreal gust]

Unpredictable error though

I mean it can be caused by mods but the hardest problems are the ones you don't know the source of.

Especially that error since you don't know what is related to that crash

it can be anything

[slim nacelle]

Hey guys is it possible to change the look of dead bodys? would i have to change the sprite or something? ( I want to make a mod where once a stalker is killed his dead body goes blurry) something like this Bodycam game but the whole body instead of the face. If anyone knows if something like this is possible, i want to get to work on it sooo lemme know plz

[bronze linden]

I'm not big on xray modding in the slightest, but you might have to search the file contents of the modding you're doing with parts from line 1057 if that's possible with files like that?
Or is that something that's genuinely entirely unsolveable without withcraft? I've seen a few of those in Zomboid conflicts lul

[surreal gust]

It's usually caused by mods

Vanilla anomaly crashes are rare

[celest forge]

Yeah that's true

Back when I was playing just Anomaly + BaS I literally never crashed

[bronze linden]

Ahh, gotcha
Yeah I had to find some ancient tombs to figure out wtf broke every single Linux guide at the same time to write up the new one

The soul of the server system administrator is used to this kind of pain

[celest forge]

Also that error points to the engine itself

which atleast I know jack shit bout it

[surreal gust]

anomaly uses a very old version of

coc openxray edition

[tawny stream]

To actually make a video effect would probably be very difficult. What might be easier would be to have the dead body models get swapped with a pixelated one. I get it would look clunky.

[bronze linden]

The strange part was that it seemingly started breaking out of nowhere
Turns out the new DLTX(did I spell that right) .exes hate three things on Linux: The anomaly and gamma folders being placed in "not the right" location, Proton versions newer than 7.*, and ReShade/GShade
But at least it launches with the shader mods enabled now, so that's neat

But actually speaking of mods, what's the technical highest quality encoding formats and settings that can be used for a music mod, and what's the generally recommended highest of these for one?

[celest forge]

@naive snow I discovered that the background layer with gaussian blur trick works with anything as long as it's a background layer and it's not touching the icon

So now i'm doing shit like this

AND I WILL KEEP DOING IT

And the icon looks great in game :)

[bronze linden]

shootgun :)

[naive snow]

You're fucking insane. Great idea

[celest forge]

And no one knows

[bronze linden]

Damn
Compiling the music for a faction-specific music mod is surprisingly hard when you want it to be both fit the gloom of zone (but not being full blown depressing like 'I Could Live in Hope' by Low) and still sound distinct enough to fit the factions

I figured a trader radio wouldn't be playing assblaster 220bpm music so that narrows it down too lolol

[unreal holly]

someone should make a script that disables sun shadow in underground levels

[naive snow]

This is cursed knowledge that'll hunt me

[naive snow]

Most underground levels already have the sun intensity set to zero, effectively disabling the sun

[unreal holly]

i might be wrong but it still uses fps no?

[naive snow]

No?

I'd have to get a renderdoc capture of something like agroprom, but normally there's no cost for the sun when underground

[unreal holly]

oh ok

[storm basin]

anyone knows crooks discord?

[storm basin]

can someone take a look at this mod and think of a reason why the FUCK is this breaking mechanics ability to tell you to fuck off in regards to repairing/upgrading? https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/promzone-level

I'm able to upgrade and repair with mechanic with this mod enabled

[celest forge]

Probably a file overwriting that gamma function

since that's only a gamma thing

[storm basin]

do u have an idea which file was added to stop mechanics from repairing shit?

[celest forge]

No clue i don't use gamma

[storm basin]

also can anyone explain how sky texture mods are being used in the game? how does the game select certain textures, because so far none of the sky mods I've tried did anything

[naive snow]

Probably because the files overwrite some of the XML dialogues for mechanics

[storm basin]

I managed to get it back to normal by fucking with the priorities and this mod below levels seems to be the thing that changes that

[naive snow]

You'll probably break some dialogue or quests, but hey whatever works for you

[storm basin]

[surreal gust]

I think the dialogues are custom files based on level names similar to CoP

I'm not very sure if that is the case

[naive snow]

Yeah but what will break is probably for the characters present in the base Gamma or Anomaly maps, the ones that give the quests to explore the new maps. Those characters will probably have messed up dialogues and quests.

[surreal gust]

oh well unique npcs be like

[stable vault]

New Levels is not the mod causing that to happen, at least it doesnt happen for me with that mod.

[stable vault]

Nah I've played through the story for the levels they don't use any mechanics for it

[naive snow]

Don't you need to talk to certain npcs to trigger the questline to unlock the new transitions?

[stable vault]

Not for me, the quest givers are Sakharov in yantar and bar man in rostok but all the transitions were unlocked already without talking to anyone. I dont know if turning accesable zone off changes that.

I think Lukash and some general in rostok have dialogue too but I didnt need to talk to any mechanics at all

Either way I dont have that bug with new levels so i doubt its causing it. Hard to say unless they post their full mod list

[storm basin]

For me it happens once I turn it on, not touching any other mods, but I could try it later on a 380 modcount preset

[fierce garden]

are loading screen limitations hardcoded? in particular is it possible to use fullscreen pic instead of the usual overlay with a picture in the center and remove tips?

[fair canopy]

It's just a jpeg

If you find the files for the screens you can change them to whatever you want

[gentle valve]

Hi guys. such a question. how can I increase weapon damage in the game files?

[dapper moat]

So, I made my own alteration to the "Sleep without Shelter" mod, so it works with Grok's balance mod (Needing to be tired and not bleeding/radiated to be precise), and it allows me to sleep anywhere (Even in a open field). I send @halcyon plover a copy of it, and it doesn't work for him. I'm so confused. It's the same file, bottom of the load order, everything seems to be the same. Any ideas what might be causing it?

If anyone wants to take a look at it, I can PM you a cope of the altered mod.

[naive snow]

Increase its hit_power

[gentle valve]

It doesn't work, I've tried

[naive snow]

Did you check if the weapon had any mods that wrote to its file?

The basic formulas (momo pls don't be mad) very roughly is hit_power * bullet damage

[fair canopy]

Are you both using it on vanilla gamma or do you have other mods aside on top?

[gentle valve]

I have modified all the XML files related to this weapon

[dapper moat]

I don't have it on top, and we have some different mods. But even if he puts it at the end, it's not working.

[fair canopy]

I would suggest testing it with just gamma's stock 446

[dapper moat]

Mine works fine wherever iti s, as long as it's above "Immersive sleep" and "GAMMA sleep balance"

[naive snow]

Why would you modify the text descriptions? It's the ltx you need to change

[fair canopy]

Easiest way to diagnose when something breaks is to strip everything down the be essentials and turn on mods either in series or one by one until something breaks

[gentle valve]

oh, yes, I did not change XML, but LTX

[dapper moat]

So even if it's not saying so in conflicts, something could still cause problems?

[naive snow]

What weapon are you changing?

[fair canopy]

Yeah. Maybe a monkey patch for a script

That would be my guess

[halcyon plover]

we both have dynamic emission cover, right? the only difference between our games is that im using the soulslike game mode

[dapper moat]

Rough. Like finding a needle in a haystack

[gentle valve]

DVL-10

[naive snow]

Urbana or Saboteur?

[fair canopy]

There's heuristic ways to make that hay stack smaller at least

[dapper moat]

Yeah, I have dynamic. And I'm not using soulslike

[gentle valve]

with a suppresor

[halcyon plover]

then by all means it should work 😭 the other custom mods i have are completely unaffected by anything sleep or shelter related

[naive snow]

Are you editing the right section of the ltx? Did you maybe edit the Urbana section instead?

[halcyon plover]

maybe the soulslike mode is doing something? it has a UI change for the bed, 'set spawn point' maybe it's messing with something else too? although it shows zero conflict or even overlap for that matter

[dapper moat]

Well, I've heard of a change to the DMG value of a mace causing players being able to jump into space in some game devs, so, it's possible.

[gentle valve]

No, I definitely changed that dvl

[dapper moat]

Turn on debug mode, start a new save without soulslike, and spawn a bed?

[halcyon plover]

reference for the issue

[halcyon plover]

i'll try

[fair canopy]

Souls like touches sleeping stuff I think

It might be incompatible with that mode

[dapper moat]

Oh, yeah that's not at all what I get. I don't even get the menu if I can't sleep there (not tired or I'm radiated)

[halcyon plover]

there's no way to get rid of soulslike mode mid game right? 😭

[dapper moat]

Definetlly soulslike then

[halcyon plover]

shittttttt another run into the trash can

[fair canopy]

Start it up on a non souls like run and see

[dapper moat]

For me, the menu doesn't pop up if I can't sleep.

[halcyon plover]

god dammit

[dapper moat]

Try it first.

[naive snow]

I just tried and it works perfectly fine for the wpn_dvl10_m1

[gentle valve]

ok, i will try it again

[gentle valve]

can you send path to the file

?

[dapper moat]

@halcyon plover Any luck?

[halcyon plover]

game keeps crashing because the debug menu is a fucking bitch

ill let you know

[dapper moat]

Crashing? Never experienced that. Bummer

[halcyon plover]

yeah because a piece of shit controller keeps making me kill myself despite the fact im on god mode

[fair canopy]

Occasionally debug will just crash

[halcyon plover]

So I gotta spawn stuff in

[naive snow]

Default 0.85
vs
Modified 1.7

[gentle valve]

mmmmm W_... not fucking WPN

ok

[naive snow]

What the heck were you modifying then?

[halcyon plover]

@dapper moat @fair canopy yup. soulslike was the issue, thank you fellas

[dapper moat]

https://tenor.com/view/2omb-pray-prayge-gif-24836268

[halcyon plover]

sucks though because now i gotta restart a run AGAIN

[gentle valve]

i dont fucking know ...

[dapper moat]

Well, think of it like this: When you DO start a new run, the zone will be your oyster! And now it's finally solved.

[halcyon plover]

i was getting so into the hang of it though 😭

[dapper moat]

Yeah, I know the feeling. Sucks, bro. It is what it is.

[naive snow]

Just use the weapon stat editor next time instead of fiddling in files

[fair canopy]

Does that actually save?

[naive snow]

You just need to spawn in a new gun

[gentle valve]

He doesn't change anything о_о

[random fulcrum]

but the ingame editors aren't persistent

it just saves the values to a cache thing in appdata

[naive snow]

It's good enough to test out numbers without the whole hassle of F7, nump0, F5. You can then just paste the adjustments into the proper ltx

[naive snow]

You still need to edit the actual ltx file and reload your game properly with F7, num pad 0 and F5 in that order

[gentle valve]

so I still have to go into the game folder?

[naive snow]

Yes

[verbal finch]

are there any Anomaly mod makers here who take commissions? send me a reply if you'd be open to hearing an offer and possibly making something custom for me, I really want a specific mod and I'm willing to pay for it if it's possible to make.

[oak sleet]

how tough is mod making for STALKER anyway

[slow bolt]

depends on what you want to do

[oak sleet]

i have a very specific idea for making a mod that i want to try my hand at doing myself

i always thought it would be a really cool idea to do a playthrough as a "Journalist" who snuck into the zone with a cameraman for the purposes of recording the "truth" about the zone and then sucked into the vortex of violence and mystery that is the chornobyl exclusion zone. the mod specifically would be for a companion to follow you around that can't get hurt or targeted by NPCs cuz he's just the camera guy wandering through the zone. he'd carry one of those bulky shoulder mounted cameras

mfw you have this guy following you around in the zone:

personal stretch goal would be to make it so i could actively record the camerman's POV or something

[slow bolt]

ok yeah good luck with all that

Funny thing is there is no real reason why nobody wouldn't shoot the camera man

[oak sleet]

thats why im askin how modding works lmao

[random fulcrum]

like it's not even hard to pull off since you can make the guy be trader faction so that nobody pays attention to him

but like for vvhat pvrpose

[slow bolt]

that is cringe though

[random fulcrum]

not only that but the model

the guy explicitly said that he doesn't want the cameraman to be shot

[slow bolt]

Sucks to suck, but those shoes look mighty fine to bandits

[potent delta]

Even mutants don't bother traders last time I checked.

They're a truly neutral faction.

[sacred token]

So Traders are really Switzerland of the NPCs

[peak quest]

anyone got EFPWP working alongside gamma?

i have it halfway working still getting hud animation errors for certain guns

[peak quest]

i think its just the mp155 and sv98

[winter tendon]

Hi, how hard would it be for someone not very familiar with modeling or coding to take animations from a gun and fit them onto another very similar gun?

[fair canopy]

You need the old bas hand animations for the shotgun

[bleak path]

alright, i need a bit of help here. decided to make a custom nosorog, with crafting etc, and so went out to do just that. its just fileedits, using the standard monolith textures etc. works well, but it all references base anomaly stuff, not gamma. how do i make it so its is in line with gamma nosorogs, meaning no helmet, lesser stas etc ? what files in gamma do i need to pull from ?

[narrow stirrup]

Did you have red message on console when you equip some weapons telling you something like no effect g28 ? I get this red message on console, game is not crashing but I don’t like that

[fair canopy]

You probably need to setup recoil effects

Not every console message is a doom message

[narrow stirrup]

i thought the same but i have a config file on plugin that came with the mode that should be for that, but now i'm not sure....

[peak quest]

G28 doesn’t crash my game but I didn’t take a look at console

Mp5 hud animations are crashing my game when I enter army warehouses though

[narrow stirrup]

Seems like you had to remove the meshes and config files

Related to mp5

[peak quest]

where can I find these which version

[peak quest]

Meshes too? I’m effectively just removing the mp5 from efpwp right

[narrow stirrup]

yeah, remove everything related to mp 5, i suggest you to go to this file mod_system_zmaidports and remove mp5 sections too

[peak quest]

Thanks I’ll try that when I get home

[narrow stirrup]

the only thing you probably should have is the texture folder, and i'm not sure, some weapons depend on others texture files like lasers

[vague sphinx]

EDIT: I was able to combine the two models (selecting then Ctrl + J to join them in one) and export the result succesfully, sorry for the ping Dux

[vague sphinx]

I was able to finally export the final result

It should work I think, I need to test that out

[karmic jackal]

Guys how do I ammo check ?

I couldn't find it

[slow bolt]

You press the ammo check key combination

you set it up in MCM

[gray marlin]

Hey, everybody. Can you please tell me if there are any guides about ogg files? I want to add new guitar tracks, but I don't know what bitrate is supported by the game, etc.

[oak zodiac]

gun lore

your idea already has a hook, get to buildin' lore says alone, so unfortunately your cameraman dies. probably to join monolith

[oak sleet]

RIP

Story ends with the pair gettinbf captured by monolith with the journalist escaping and trying to determine camermans fate

[celest forge]

Stalker sound files have to be 441000hz and mono

[gray marlin]

Thanks, I already found out about it. Does bitrate matter a lot?

[random fulcrum]

44.1 not 41

[celest forge]

That, yeah

Sorry

[celest forge]

I don't think so

[gray marlin]

Okay. Thx bro.

[karmic thicket]

So, folks, I have a thing I want to do. I want to make a compatibility patch between psy stress (WITH ITEM CHANGES (THIS IS IMPORTANT)), and GAMMA medications balance in a way that isn't clunky. They're incompatible because medications balance changes cigarettes and vodka stats which still take effect even if psy stress is loaded after (has higher priority). A clunky "fix" I've found is to just delete the lines in the config files for GAMMA medication balance that reference cigarettes or vodka but I would like to make a downloadable patch that's way less clunky than this.

I'm not currently at my PC so I can't do much yet but any pointing in the right direction would be sorely appreciated.

I could just make a copy of GAMMA medications balance with the edits and just tell people to disable the original to make it work but I think that's really inefficient and there has to be a better way to do it.

[hollow harbor]

[peak quest]

Anything can be patched bro

I’m pretty sure the solution is in this chat I’d just have to dig like an archaeologist

[random fulcrum]

you're missing files

you don't get a hint tho

[fair canopy]

i wonder which script it could be

[storm basin]

@undone lily sir asking you because it's your mod, but in BHS you can hide the hud using H, but it's not persistent through changing locations/reloading saves, any way to fix that?

[slow bolt]

bruh mf just pinged grok

there is a way to fix that, by editing the script and making it save the UI state. Or so i think anyway

[storm basin]

is it possible to have mercs speak both english and russian?

would deleting some of the audio files in the better mercs mod work?

[peak quest]

yea and just rename the ones you swap with the original name

.ogg file format

[storm basin]

im confused why would I need to rename anything in that case

if I would only be deleting files

I guess I'm gonna have to delete whole folders to avoid one person speaking two different languages

[peak quest]

thats the problem i knew youd run into

[undone lily]

https://tenor.com/view/wake-up-meme-gif-23690530

[peak quest]

youre replacing the files so they need to be the same name

game need to find the right file name

[undone lily]

Just remove the feature if you don’t like it ?

Like make the zzz_player_health.script empty

[peak quest]

he wants the hud gone not the whole thing

[undone lily]

Yeah but without the hud how are you gonna see your health etc

[peak quest]

real

[storm basin]

I wanna use the hud in certain situations, but keeping it off and not having to manually turn it off every location change/save would be nice

[storm basin]

yeah but here is the thing, if the mod is replacing files that already exist, wouldn't deleting the files from that mod not require me to do anything else? cuz the base is russian lines and the mod is english

[peak quest]

try it out then delete about half from the mod and listen

or just turn the english voices off they suck anyways

better yet get the original english lines

[random fulcrum]

replace merc mob voices with the cerberus from manhunt

[peak quest]

from the trilogy

woooorm foooood

[storm basin]

is there a mod for htat? I never heard about english merc lines in stalker

[peak quest]

the trilogy has an english dub

[random fulcrum]

but it wasn't nowhere near a full dub tho

it had some critical lines

like grenade callouts

and story related ones

[peak quest]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/english-voices-complete

i want a bit of nostalgia installing this now actually

these have merc lines

[undone lily]

Then check DynaHUD mod

[storm basin]

that one is bad

[undone lily]

But that’s more or less what you want

Otherwise you need to modify the BHS code to save the HUD state

[storm basin]

would it work if I were to copy some lines from dynahud if it has that?

[undone lily]

Just code it yourself

store the hud state in m_data and make it load as well in save state and load state functions

[shadow hull]

Was going through the change logs for the last updates. I noticed some new guns added and I looked in Nimble's script. Am I correct in assuming you can get the pkm siber and pkm zenit siber from completing a quest and trading with Nimble?

any way to check which script made a news message appear?

Try dynahud maybe it cover your needs
