[surreal gust]

console commands are made with engine edits

bro should have learned stalker mapping instead

[silk aurora]

There is a cmd table

You can add functions into

[surreal gust]

its easier and rewarding

like bro

there are only

15 or 30 people in anomaly mod

that know how to make maps

[silk aurora]

What even editor can you use

[surreal gust]

the SDK from big daddy gsc

i don't use vanilla SDK it's shit

i use hybridxray

basically this

lemme show it

[silk aurora]

I just wanna write scripts

I have no interest in modeling or map making. I wanna be big software man

But show me

[surreal gust]

just a small test map

[silk aurora]

I take it we will never get 2k textures 😦

[surreal gust]

You can play in editor, too.

[silk aurora]

Ooo. I take it you enjoy the map making portion

[surreal gust]

"enjoy" Yes.

it's not easy at all, unlike in other games.

[silk aurora]

What make it's difficult in this?

[surreal gust]

very or extremist

i might remake some anomaly maps idk

i heard that MLR has the exact same spawn shit that anomaly uses

if that works then it's possible to rework all of anomaly maps

[silk aurora]

What makes it difficult in stalker then other games?

[surreal gust]

due to how the engine works

its easier to make maps for the original games

[silk aurora]

Slow build times?

[surreal gust]

the compiler is shit

i use a modified compiler

[silk aurora]

Oof

Have homeboy pause the MP and work on the complier

[surreal gust]

the modified compiler already does it's part correctly

we need better lightmaps

[silk aurora]

@winter hemlock you know we love you

[surreal gust]

because xray lightmaps suck

[silk aurora]

Path tracing whe

When?

[surreal gust]

it uses raytracing on objects i think

it's just not good

[silk aurora]

I take it when you compile the light sources are completely off from the editor

[surreal gust]

modified compilers allow you to disable light baking entirely but the thing is

the sun is dynamic

and lights are too

[surreal gust]

xray lights can be added without recompiling the map

which is the only thing i love about xray

ONLY THING

[winter hemlock]

mmm yeah xray kinda sucks

[silk aurora]

Can you fix it?

[winter hemlock]

haha nope

[silk aurora]

Why not bruh

[winter hemlock]

-literally no c++ skills

[silk aurora]

You Lua skills are as good as your c++ skills whats the difference?

[winter hemlock]

that's a fucking insult right there

[silk aurora]

😅😅😅😅

[winter hemlock]

i have no experience in c++
i know some lua

but yeah
mp status: procrastinating

[silk aurora]

Why are you procrastinating. You have the entire servers attention

[silk aurora]

You are the chosen messiah

[winter hemlock]

it just feels a bit daunting but that's the part of me that's focusing on the ENTIRE STAIRCASE

[silk aurora]

You are a messiah dawg you have come to bring your people together via peer to peer

[winter hemlock]

so i want to focus on the second step
make a system that allows me to use P2P

[surreal gust]

bro you can't be monokit and call it a day

and promote some radmp-like mod scam

[winter hemlock]

im not

less talk more work

[silk aurora]

Show us what you've wrote

[winter hemlock]

again: procrastinated
literally nothing except two commands which do fuck all rn

[silk aurora]

Dude let's go. Get it done. Stop procrastinating and man up

[winter hemlock]

alright then, you da man
just gotta hydrate

[silk aurora]

😂😂😂

[surreal gust]

"oh yeah, gimmie 1000 dollars and i will add gunslinger to our mod"

[winter hemlock]

dude, people can do that shit for free

[surreal gust]

except that none of the gunslinger features are there

such as chamber system

misfire system

jamming system

and a lot more

just animations, animations and animations

bro do something useful instead of porting gunslinger animations bruh

[silk aurora]

My brother in christ you forgot hashmaps

[silk aurora]

Common mistake

[surreal gust]

bro im not talking about mp

[winter hemlock]

THATS FOR THE MOD VERIFICATION

[surreal gust]

it's literally the truth in anomaly

[winter hemlock]

https://excalidraw.com/#json=mXrXXjvFRniJq5Dvhx6Kn,JZT_mNdcxBG6_zMev6UJ-g
This is what the end result will (hopefully) look like

[surreal gust]

look at gunslinger cop compared to anomaly

you'll see that anomaly has almost ZERO of the original gunslinger features

[winter hemlock]

LESS TALK MORE WORK

[silk aurora]

Bro pulled up charts. I don't know how you can refute the evidence

[surreal gust]

?

[winter hemlock]

DUDE
THE CHART WAS THE ONE YOU MADE

[surreal gust]

bro it doesnt have the upgrade system

[silk aurora]

Bro I could never make something so in depth that's all you

[surreal gust]

eh, you can watch why gunslinger cop is way better than the anomaly port

[winter hemlock]

I don't know SHIT about P2P (before you made that)

LESS JOKE MORE WORK

[silk aurora]

I'm trolling btw

[surreal gust]

oh k

[winter hemlock]

ok
priority no.1
i want to have the console command i wrote to execute a script

that could be done with dofile

no wait loadfile is better

[silk aurora]

Have you tried hacking the main frame through the telecommunications wire?

[winter hemlock]

LESS JOKE MORE WORK HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THIS

[surreal gust]

this is actually, sad

[winter hemlock]

so how do i run a script from a lua file
i tried all the options, all give errors

[silk aurora]

Go inside of gamma github and look at some mods bro. Look how they are called

[winter hemlock]

there's a gamma github?

[surreal gust]

[winter hemlock]

omfg

[silk aurora]

https://github.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA

[silk aurora]

Dude look stuff up.

[winter hemlock]

alr thanks
now time to dig in the code

I don't see how any of them are called

[silk aurora]

Think about how MO2 call mods. Think about opening the map editor and attaching your script to a object

[silk aurora]

Heck make a object that if you have in your inventory you can have server functions run off of it. Like in dark souls 3

[winter hemlock]

maybe

[silk aurora]

That way you don't have to work with callbacks

[winter hemlock]

oh wait i had an idea

i could make two items
a "S.T.A.L.K.E.R Transmitter" and "S.T.A.L.K.E.R Reciever"

they would look like RF detectors

[silk aurora]

Yep and you can equip them and setup the server and the other can connect to it

[winter hemlock]

Not equip, per se
Just use and they'll work

So I can just bin the commands

So then it'll work without debug mode

[silk aurora]

Try it

[winter hemlock]

Uuugh i need to figure out how to add an item

I got it

Is the RF reciever in Anomaly?

[tawny stream]

Yes

[winter hemlock]

good

[silk aurora]

@winter hemlock did you find it

[winter hemlock]

yes

i found the rf reciever stuff

actually im going to copy it from a quest PDA

ok now it should just make a new broken pda item

i want to make an only avalible by just buying it
is that possible?

ok it is

what defines what category an item gets put in?

I'm getting this error when i'm trying to get the special connector item

[silk aurora]

You zee where it says line.

[silk aurora]

Go find that line and figure it out

[winter hemlock]

@surreal gust i genuinely need help adding an item

[surreal gust]

what do you mean by an item

I don't do items, I do mapping.

[slow bolt]

and? help him with items

[surreal gust]

okay, but why exactly me?

[warped crow]

that worked beautifully by the way, thanks again. Now just to do that for every attachment/scope version of that gun although I suppose for most I can just snipe their wpn_x names from preexisting configs and use the same values and then adjust accordingly if it looks terrible in game.

[slow bolt]

You got asked

[silk aurora]

How would you guys feel about taking away the ability to kite enemies away from fortifications.

For example last night I shot a merc and instead of alerting his team mates he ran across the field alone and I killed him by kiting. If your shot at infront of a outpost you should alert the outpost and begin defending.

What do you guys think?

[simple scaffold]

didn't xcvb make a mod for that already. or atleast to stop them chasing mutants all over the map.

[winter hemlock]

that dosen't mean you are exembt

[silk aurora]

If it did. It didn't stop me from doing it last night

[winter hemlock]

@slow bolt can you help me make an item?

[simple scaffold]

I don't know if gama has that mod. Just that XCVB was working on it.

I have never installed gamma

[celest forge]

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-black-guy-shocked-gif-27437284

[slow bolt]

https://tenor.com/view/plink-cat-plink-cat-gif-1794292671885121408

no

[winter hemlock]

ok

[novel beacon]

anyone here? i need a bit of help

someone said for the repositions done via draggable hud to work i need to take the saved repositions from catch_dbg.ltx into a mod_system_(any name of file)_repos.ltx and then turn it into a mod or something, i really do not know where to get help about this so im here

[surreal gust]

Do I look like that I do items and other stuff? Nope.

[silk aurora]

I've seen you spend more time playing anomaly then making items

[winter hemlock]

It's because i don't know what tf is going on with the error

[silk aurora]

Dawg. Read the error and go to the line

[winter hemlock]

ok fine

This is the error

This is my D: Drive

No a folder

So it's something wrong with the item

This is the item file

[winter hemlock]

okay i genuinely need help

@simple scaffold can you help?

[slow bolt]

bruh

[winter hemlock]

you said you couldn't help

justsilverguy did too

[slow bolt]

Why would you ping people instead of just waiting for people to respond

Pings are reserved for urgent stuff and not help on random things

[winter hemlock]

mabayum

i am just REALLY FUCKING IMPATIENT

[iron drum]

That crash says mp_connector is missing a variable "class= *" Compare to other item files to figure it out and check out class_registrator.script for all available classes. I've never done anything like this so that's all I can help you with

[winter hemlock]

thx

[iron drum]

Also crashes that reference a file in xray-monolith folder refer to the source code which you won't find in D:\ but rather here: https://github.com/themrdemonized/xray-monolith

[teal trail]

This is not a disabled soft water in settings.
And not new installed addons, or changed settings in MO2....
This is a clean gamma, correctly installed.
I am reinstalled then 10 times, I'm tried to fix this many times, and no way... Soft water doesn't work at all.
I'm was asking to people and they brought me here for ask help or information.

+if i turn off the shadows mods(it will looks like a normal anomaly) the soft water will work

[soft burrow]

How do you translate to Russian "You must leave your squad, though." ?
I ask here cause it's for a mod. I'm adding that phrase to the end of the lines for recruiting and hiring companions.

[slow bolt]

How casual does it need to be?

Because context matters a lot

"Только сначала тебе нужно избавится от своего отряда"

Would be most direct translation imo

[soft burrow]

They must have the same casuallyness as the dialogs for recruiting companions, are you familiar with them?

[slow bolt]

I dont do that frequently at all

Even then i dont really read into it, so i woun remember the words

[soft burrow]

Wait let me post them from the game files

Слушай, как насчёт действовать в команде? В компании тут всяко безопаснее.
and
Ищу кого нанять для охраны, интересно?

[soft burrow]

I want to add "You must leave your squad, though." to the end of both of them

[slow bolt]

Oh, to those lines you posted?

[soft burrow]

yes

[slow bolt]

It wouldnt make sense for the second one

And for the first one too tbh

[soft burrow]

oh damn

[slow bolt]

idk how to weave it in. He asks for company, but then tells you to dismiss your own company?

Like they are looking for company, but they dont want company but just you?

For the second one they(he?) are looking for guards(basically). So again why wouldnt your squad qualify

[soft burrow]

It's for hiring/recruiting one stalker at a time

So the stalker being recruited must be separated from his squad

[slow bolt]

I mean yeah i understand why. Just.. they say one thing then the other

[soft burrow]

Those are lines for the player

[slow bolt]

I see

[soft burrow]

The player is saying "wanna come with me? ok, you must come alone and leave your friends"

[slow bolt]

"Слушай, как насчёт действовать в команде? В компании тут всяко безопаснее. Предложение только для тебя." - Offer only for you
"Ищу кого нанять для охраны, интересно? Ты выглядишь грозно" - you look dangerous
This would make sense.
I can translate more directly
"Место для одного, поэтому придется пойти одному." - Only one spot, so you would have to come alone. Works at the end of both

[soft burrow]

I think I like offer only for you the most.

Can you make it work for the second line?

[slow bolt]

Well yeah

Its just too official ngl

[winter hemlock]

guh?

[slow bolt]

Russian is a lot more complex compared to english

[winter hemlock]

variable immunities_sect
what should i put for it

[soft burrow]

heh yeah that's why I seek help

[slow bolt]

Its just imo the questions itself is casual, like "yo lets work together". Then the terms happen

Its just not how you talk

[soft burrow]

Ah I see

[slow bolt]

You dont set terms like that in a casual offer

You could make them ask if they can bring friends

there anything could be said

ngl that should have been there from the start

Aight, i gotta pop out the most neutral one i can think of

"Как насчет тебя?"
Damn i did it

"How about you?"

Focus on you

Implies asking the dude specifically and only him

[winter hemlock]

can you guys help with my problem? i just wanna add an item

[soft burrow]

so could I add it to the end of both lines?

[slow bolt]

Or maybe "Только придется своих оставить". Sorta casual way of telling someone to abandon their friends and buddies. That way its impossible to misinterpret

[slow bolt]

Yes for that one and the last one

[soft burrow]

I mean, the two lines I posted at the start, or should I give up on those

[slow bolt]

You can add them to the end, yes

This #╙🖇mods-making-discussion message
And that #╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

[soft burrow]

Nice, thank you

[winter hemlock]

@soft burrow Can I get some help?

[soft burrow]

I looked at your earlier messages in the chat
I don't know how to help

[winter hemlock]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[slow bolt]

bruh

try not to ping modders challenge: Impossible

[winter hemlock]

ok i wont

hey i need help with an issue

[regal bolt]

I'm trying to install "Item UI Improvements" I want the original icons from the mod. however, I have the big ones from Grammy

[slow bolt]

Item Ui improvements doesnt add icons

those are vanilla icons btw

[regal bolt]

Sorry.
I mean signatures. for example under ammunition, weapons. umnie are big. even big lilacs

[slow bolt]

you already have that

Gamma already comes with that mod

[simple scaffold]

I don't know how much clearer the error can possibly be. You don't have class defined in your section.

All spawnable sections have to have a class

You need a line:

class = a_valid_class

[winter hemlock]

did that
now i'm getting this error

[regal bolt]

Yes. but big. The original ones are small. when there is a large quantity, I only see colored numbers

[tawny mural]

wait i think it doesnt sum up like

wait what the context of this

[slow bolt]

[tawny mural]

because it can like mean 2 different things

in terms how voice actor gonna say this line or what situation its gonna be

[winter hemlock]

okay i got the item to work

[tawny mural]

na?

[slow bolt]

So read the context

[slow bolt]

Working MP soon

nice

[winter hemlock]

no not soon
i'm only getting the first step done

but i am getting very slightly closer

[simple scaffold]

Same thing.

You class needs a value immunities_sect to be defined in the item section.

Do a search by contents for that but if text to see how other items set that up.

Or you could just stumble from one error message to the next annoying everyone on the server until no one talks to you.

[tawny mural]

still dont get it, unlucky

[winter hemlock]

i managed to get the item working

[regal bolt]

in pure anomaly I have the original signatures. I want the same thing 😋

[simple scaffold]

Search by contents in the game files and looking at examples. Combined with the modding book should answer most all of your questions.

Or at least make your questions more valuable

[winter hemlock]

alr

[simple scaffold]

Everything in stalker is a chain of key words.

You can follow 90% of how the game works by searching a chain of keywords.

Only thing that doesn't work that way is like level geometry sections since they are defined in the level file or allspawn.

[winter hemlock]

i want to create my own item script, how would i go about doing that? i can't find an example and the book dosen't say anything

[simple scaffold]

Item script?

Like you use an item and it makes a script run?

Wrist watch does that.

Find the wrists watch item. Search for its section in the anomaly scripts

Probably itms_manager but I am on my phone and am infamous for typos and misspelled words on my phone

[winter hemlock]

I was meaning something else but this is fucking amazing

Thanks man,

hand_watch is the item right?

[simple scaffold]

Need to ask careful questions. Vague questions are hard to answer.

[winter hemlock]

yeye

[simple scaffold]

Sounds right.

[winter hemlock]

lemme check

yeah it is what i want

[winter hemlock]

i'm having trouble figuring out what makes the watch actually usable
like what causes it to execute the script?

[regal bolt]

Here is a mod idea....we have realistic weapons, ammo, handling, graphics, survival etc etc how about we make movement realistic? The whole game immersion is broken for me as soon as I am shooting at an NPC that sprints horizontally whilst ADS at ridiculous speeds. Why is the movement so fast. Why is there no inertia physics so they cant turn on a dime at full speed. I would like slower more realistic movement to fit the aim of everything else in this game.

[slow bolt]

they cant ads and sprint

[regal bolt]

even worse. they are walking at what looks like the speed of a human sprint 😄

[slow bolt]

No, they are just walking

[regal bolt]

no

they are not unfortunately. the speed of their "walk" is unrealistically fast. I would like to change that

[slow bolt]

yes

[silk aurora]

@undone lily Sam brings up a good point, When the Npc use crap guns they dont deal with the jank only we do, Whats up with that?

[slow bolt]

they are walking

[slow bolt]

They do

[regal bolt]

so kerf is useless. anyone else got any useful input

[slow bolt]

lmfao. Newbies are so funny

[slow bolt]

Give your companion a destroyed gun and watch them reload repeatedly

Even in his video you can see ai reloading every 5 bullets

2. Their gun condition doesnt actually matter as it is a gameplay mechanic to break the guns they drop

[winter hemlock]

oh hello there

yeah i managed to get the item in-game but now i have to make it work

[simple scaffold]

NPC guns jam on condition just like players do. And NPCs have an extra script jamming their guns more.

The thing is that all NPC spawn with 100% quality guns.

The quality you see when you loot is from a script that damages loot deliberately to maintain balance.

But give them an actual shit gun and they jam more than the player because of the script that jams their guns based on NPC rank.

[simple scaffold]

They speak truth. I added a reload call back to NPCs to see how oftain they reload and then damaged their guns. They follow the same rules we do. You just aren't seeing behind the curtains.

[slow bolt]

He was talking about the AI walking speed

different greyname

[simple scaffold]

Ppl need roles or I can't tell them apart

[slow bolt]

ikr

those greynames

[simple scaffold]

10 to 1 you are probably still right

Oh yeah. Same rules there too.

[surreal gust]

[winter hemlock]

i ned some help with this

[winter hemlock]

hello?

[silk aurora]

Raven

[simple scaffold]

Search by contents. Fine the script.

Itms_manager has a big callback for item use. You can make a smaller one in your script

[silk aurora]

have you went through and read what he is trying to do

[simple scaffold]

Nope to ADHD to look at more than just the current question.

[silk aurora]

he is trying to make multiplayer XD

[simple scaffold]

I'm about 2 or 3 from going back to trolling tho

[slow bolt]

Yes he knows the guy above is trying to make MP

[silk aurora]

Lololol

[simple scaffold]

Oh that yeah. So they are 13 yo and like to brag before thinking.

Nothing learning can't solve. So I help with the learning.

Maybe teach humility

Or I get bored of them not listening and start trolling or leave.

TBH I only visit gamma when the anomaly discord is slow

[winter hemlock]

You were there once

What makes you any different?

[hardy hound]

i think they move at normal speeds in default anomaly

gamma has tweaked speed values in some ltx file related to stalker npcs, that's why their 'stun' animations play so fast and move like its quake

[slow bolt]

They dont really move faster

but their reactions are faster in gamma

tbh the stuns in vanilla are a joke

A sinlge tushkano could stunlock a stalker

[stable vault]

They do move faster, grok cranked up all the movement speeds you can see it in the mod "G.A.M.M.A. NPCs Faster Reactions" it doesn't just change reaction speed all the movement speeds in general are increased pretty substantially.

[random fulcrum]

they don't move faster

[stable vault]

They do

[random fulcrum]

okay you win they do

[stable vault]

I have tested this myself, he literally increases the values in the field "[stalker_movement_speeds]" if that doesn't increase movement speeds wtf does it do then

[winter hemlock]

ok i can not figure this out
what makes an item usable?
like if you right click on it it pops up a "use" button

i am sorry for bothering anyone

[random fulcrum]

dearest boy why don't you like honest to fucking god try reading the modding book and/or wetting your toes on a feasible project instead of trying to do multiplayer on your fucking own for a modpack

like come on

this is beyond retarded at this point

it goes above and beyond what you expect from the stupidest gamma server user

you're being filtered by adding an item and you want to do multiplayer

[winter hemlock]

reading the modding book rn

[silk aurora]

He's got a point man. Youre idea of employeeing people to make a mod. Isn't a good one. When the guys in here say something. they have made mods, they know what is doable. You keep ignoring them and meming on them. And then coming back and asking how to make a item work. You're playing yourself G

[winter hemlock]

i don't really want to talk about this
please just leave me alone

[silk aurora]

Yes sir

[winter hemlock]

thanks

[silk aurora]

oof

I just got broken up with

[winter hemlock]

look i'll come back to this at a later date maybe after i have a project or two under my belt

[silk aurora]

There is no shame in that man. You have made it further then 99 percent of the people who play stalker.

[silk aurora]

You did good kid :^) and you are a server legend

[winter hemlock]

i'm not in it for the fame
i genuinely love the stalker community and the game
i genuinely just want to help the community

thanks man

I'm probably just going to do some meme edits

[winter hemlock]

are .ogf files models or textures?

ok they're meshes

[slow bolt]

models

[winter hemlock]

where is the icon located for the energy drink?

cause i wanna modify that

[slow bolt]

go to its .ltx and find it

[winter hemlock]

all i can find is its sound effect

no icons_texture

[slow bolt]

actually its right there

should be in textures/ui anyway

vanilla icons are all stored in blocks of dozens of icons in one file per category

[winter hemlock]

i'm going to modify the sound real quickkkk

ok now i need to modify the icon

but i cant find the icon sheet

ok the sound works

i hate what i have created

here let me convert it for your viewing pleasure

[simple scaffold]

I knew enough to lurk before declaring i was going succeed at a task that took an experienced team of programmers years to accomplish in skyrim a game that is on a well documented engine that is much more amenable to modification than Xray.

I also didn't demand answers from ppl. I answered every question you have asked today for myself by using notepad++ search function and trying stuff out. If i had a question i posted it. if no one answered. i went back to figuring it out on my own.

the use menu is available for items of class II_FOOD

but much simpler. it is avaible for any item that is defined in the form [section_name]:booster or [section_name]:booster_multi (which is itself defined [booster_multi]:booster the one thing that all the food, medicines, drinks, and the hand_watch all have in common.

[winter hemlock]

look, that's later stuff

[simple scaffold]

see the modding book section on LTX file format for what :booster means. (inheritance)

[winter hemlock]

i wanna do meme edits right now

[winter hemlock]

like this

[winter hemlock]

after all, we're all here for a good time, not a bad time

this is my textures/ui/items folder. this is all.

[naive snow]

That's just your unpacked folder. It's not the combined virtualized anomaly folder

[celest forge]

@surreal gust epic

[undone lily]

They are reloading their guns every 5 bullets. Also, while saying that, Sam was contemplating a dude running in the open out of cover that was reloading his gun. Clear skill issue. Also, the game isn’t meant to be realistic so fuck that. If you can loot prestine guns out of cold bodies, the gearing phase is done after 15 minutes.

Major skill issue, that’s it.

Started the game in most likely hardest difficulty, doesn’t check anything about the game mechanics in the PDA, then complain and will likely change the rules of the game.

When Dark Souls is sitting on your face, no one is trying to change the rules, people man up and beat the shit out of the game. Dark Souls has simple systems though. GAMMA is more complex, but to be honest you just need to read the items description. This is part of the immersion.

If you want to build a wall, you are gonna go in a nearby shop and there are 70 different things that can be used to construct a wall. Maybe you know these items and know what to do with them because you have some prior knowledge. Or you are a complete noob and start reading the items manual etc, or eventually ask a vendor in the shop about what you want to do what you want to buy.

When it comes to repairing guns, GAMMA is EXACTLY this. Isn’t that immersion?

You can read items description, or ask the mechanic about how to repair armor and guns. He tells you everything you need to know.

And enemies having shit guns is just a progression mechanic

[celest forge]

It would be funny as fuck if NPCs were also jamming each two bullets

and it's just like that scene in Desperado at the bar with the two guys shoot at each other with empty guns for 30 seconds

[undone lily]

They reload their gun quite a lot

That’s something I want to change in the AI code btw

It’s the number 1 AI weakness

[celest forge]

https://youtu.be/G35N_fLb4To?si=KtCqjUFdPc12zlXC&t=446 The future in immersive gameplay

But yeah i mean NPCs are never gonna act logically in any game

why don't they change to their secondary instead of reloading

or why doesn't the sniper dudes change to a different gun when in CQC

why do they sometimes throw nades directly at walls and blow themselves the fuck up

[undone lily]

GAMMA AI is still somewhat good for such an old game tbh

[naive snow]

Most of the footage is him fumbling with basic shortcuts, he spent the better part of 3 minutes, just switching guns, not reloading and wondering why his guns don't shoot

The flanking plays of the AI are solid

[undone lily]

Look at Tarkov AI

[undone lily]

Indeed. Sometimes you are busy with 2 dudes while another one is just sneaking up on your ass and blast your neck

[naive snow]

Where it falls apart is when the AI is aiming at you, walking and trying to get to another cover next to you. They just get in your face regardless

[celest forge]

no way bro got filtered by keybinds

[naive snow]

They'll get in the same house as you, aiming at you, shoot you a bit and stop to reload. If the ai could reload while moving, combat would be more dynamic

[naive snow]

No joke, he even showcases the jamming issue with a broken protecta. It's simple zoomer behavior of "why isn't this working like every other shooter''

[celest forge]

I mean yeah jamming is not a part of most fps games

but like

it isn't rocket science either

[naive snow]

Spaming that dead man trigger hurt my soul listening to

Oh let me try this APB pistol, equips it, fat 0 in the ammo counter, attemps to shoot it multiple times. It fucking hurst to see

[undone lily]

The inherent issue is the reload timing. The AI should only try to reload when in cover compared to the danger

And actively seek cover

[naive snow]

Well most of the time it manages to, but once you flank them as they reload, they're fully stationnary

[celest forge]

But how didn't he know it was empty

[naive snow]

It's a nice Ah gotcha! moment, but at the same, I wouldn't expect the AI to just stand there

[undone lily]

Currently they reload even so they are next to you and they have 20 rounds left in the mag

[celest forge]

guns have empty status

[naive snow]

He thinks, like every other shooter, once you equip a weapon, it's fully loaded I guess

[undone lily]

When looking at the reload code in the engine, you know why they react like this

[celest forge]

I mean that's a fair assesment but didn't he look at the fucking gun

specially with pistols it's GLARINGLY clear when their empty

[naive snow]

Nah he just swears and gets angry really

Like he presses the unjam key, he does the mag check anim, but his ammo count is still zero

[undone lily]

I think he didn’t figure out where’s the ammo count

[naive snow]

[undone lily]

Also about gun, just reading the looted guns stats tells you 50% DMG and AP

[celest forge]

I wanna see this guy play Misery if he thought gamma is impossible

[naive snow]

He's your typical new gamer, another good chunk of the video is Duuurrr it's a survival, teach me! He's unaware of the actual PDA filled with loads of information, because it's not painted yellow and pointing to the note section

[undone lily]

What’s also funny is that it’s coming from a guy playing Tarkov

Aka need to check a website to know how to do anything

Meanwhile GAMMA has everything readily available in game

[naive snow]

The actual game that requires an insane wiki knowledge

I guess what's hurting Gamma for these nu gamers, is the lack of wiki

[undone lily]

I think he just went with the “ah it ain’t gonna be so hard it’s a just an old modded solo game”

[celest forge]

He's a tarkov player?

[undone lily]

GAMMA requires your brain juice 24/7

[undone lily]

Yes

Well he’s an extract camper, among other things

[naive snow]

Checks out

[celest forge]

Then why the fuck is he standing on the open with no cover half of the fucking video???????

[undone lily]

Told you

You die > reload > not really a problem

Only issue is yes, if you suck, you die all the time

[celest forge]

Bro this guy is either doing the angry gamer bit or he's dead ass dump

[naive snow]

Bit of both I think

[celest forge]

WHY GUN NO SHOOT

[naive snow]

Eh eh witty youtuber

[celest forge]

For a guy that's used to tarkov, he plays like a warzone tweaker

In that agroprom bit he doesn't take cover once

despite having the dumpsters and the walls to hug

but he stands still in the middle of the road to shoot

[naive snow]

That starring at the bush moment was entertaining

[surreal gust]

Thank you. .:)

[silk aurora]

Big real

[cerulean mantle]

Would this fire at the dot?

[surreal gust]

it shows a general direction where it's going to land

boolets are projectiles

[cerulean mantle]

I'm trying to reposition the gun, just wanted to see if I got it right :D

[surreal gust]

Ok

[cerulean mantle]

Quick question. Is Aim Position the same as Aim Offset?

[surreal gust]

I don't do gun repositioning

[rough lion]

"nah, not like that"

[misty mulch]

lol

[winter hemlock]

like that yeah

[soft burrow]

anyone know what's the function that opens the dialog window to speak with a stalker?

I'm spawning an NPC near the player and wanna start speaking with him automatically

[cerulean mantle]

Hi. How can I give distance effect to gun sounds?

[regal bolt]

i dont know what you are on about. I was never involved in that conversation. I was asking about slowing down movement speeds of NPCs to a more realistic pace

[tawny stream]

Look in the .ltx files for a gun - most will have a call out for distant sounds. You'd need to create or copy your own sound files in the correct format and then call them in the .ltx

@cerulean mantle

Sorry, meant to reply; cbf to fix it. My comment is above

[soft slate]

Has anyone made a C-Clamp animation for AR platformed weapons? Or is it in a mod somewhere?

[cerulean mantle]

Thank you!

[slow bolt]

Oh god the cringe

[soft slate]

Lmao it's not for what you think, I was asking that to see if it was able to be made.

[slow bolt]

Ofc it is possible

[soft slate]

From what I understand, animations can be super finicky

I want to get into it and mess around with making mods, not anything professional, just testing the waters with it at some point in the future.

Do you know of anyone who's made it that I could speak to?

[slow bolt]

made what "it"?

[soft slate]

c-clamp animations

[slow bolt]

I am not aware of any and i hope nobody ever does

Its cringe

[soft slate]

RWAP I think has a sort of c-clamp but I'm not 100% sure

Yea it's RWAP

[surreal gust]

The man himself.

[soft burrow]

I hope actor:run_talk_dialog(npc) works

[winter hemlock]

ok i want to add an item that when i use it it pops up a menu and i can type things in that menu. and what i type in is stored as a variable it spits back out like a "too exhausted to move" thing

[tawny stream]

And just having the thing display a predefined message or messages is not good enough?

Just thinking in order of simplicity vs flexibility

[winter hemlock]

I need it like that for a future project

[celest forge]

Does anyone know how the color codes in LTX files work

[grand flax]

hi, are there any mods which add a bit more depth to the character creation like traits/perks? something like how project zomboid has the negative and positive trait balancing

[icy estuary]

How hard it would be to implement Statistics back into the PDA?

I mean detailed stats, like this

[surreal gust]

Bro has just killed the entire population of a small country

[surreal gust]

No idea why does grass exist here even though I removed unneeded vertices from the terrain

I think it looks nice.

[undone lily]

So you want the NPC to start a dialogue by force ?

[soft burrow]

db.actor:run_talk_dialog(npc) worked fine. It was for Individually Recruitable Companions.

I needed to close the dialog with the original NPC to delete him, and wanted to automatically start a dialog with the clone, as if the player was still talking with the original. Because recruiting companions through the normal dialog options doesn't close the dialog window.

[undone lily]

smart 🙂

[regal bolt]

will we ever get twinks of the zone......

[fair canopy]

If someone cares enough

[simple scaffold]

All you need to do is make a UI.

All kinds of statistics are tracked in game_statistics.script you just need to get them on screen.

[random fulcrum]

imo it'd be a safe bet that's rgb 0.0-1.0

[azure mulch]

With the Ultimate Gun Pack Rendition 3, how do I make Mags Redux that is provided with the mod work? Do I have to have the GAMMA one activated aswell? And, where do I put the provided one in the load order?

[summer girder]

My guy, that's explained in the video guide in pins for UGP3. It's at 1:09 in the video

[azure mulch]

Oh, sorry, im stupid 😔

[fathom garden]

may i ask, where is point to add some functions to cli?

[azure mulch]

So, encountering alot of issues with installing the Ultimate Gun Pack Rendition 3. Winrar throws up a total of 357 errors of "The system cannot find the path specified", when I extract them.

[fathom garden]

try to use 7z to compare issues

[azure mulch]

Trying it now

Extraction didnt throw up any errors, gunna transfer it to mods, then start the game, see how it reacts

[azure mulch]

Yup, that worked, thanks man

[soft slate]

Use 7z over Winrar, wayyyy better.

[azure mulch]

I usually dont get issues like this, so haven't had to pick and choose

Aight sorry

[jolly fiber]

FireRandomMin = 1
FireRandomMax = 5
NoFireTimeMin = 200
NoFireTimeMax = 750
MinMissDistance = 6.0
MinMissFactor = 0.0
MaxMissDistance = 50.0
MaxMissFactor = 0.0
What are the units of these configs? I guess for TimeMax/Min it's miliseconds and for MissDistance it's meters. What are MissFactors? And if I think correctly npcs will miss from 0 to 50 meters but won't miss after 50 meters, is that right? And how do they correlate with min_queue_interval_far/close, max_queue_size_far/close or whatever?

[graceful sluice]

I got kinda bored of mod making, so to not waste all this, I sharing with everyone my collection of unfinished gun models, you can do whatever you want with them. There link to google drive, they all sorted and have preview images.

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

It would be very cool if someone can finish that SVU 🛐

[slow bolt]

Repost it in abobale discord

More weapon modders there

[graceful sluice]

Link pls

[slow bolt]

[graceful sluice]

I can't find it

it looks weird to see a stalker wears a woodland camo in winter

[undone flicker]

I hope so

[jolly fiber]

What dispersion value is used when npc is walking and using a scope
disp_stand_stand_zoom or
disp_walk_stand?

And what if the player is aiming and walking at the same time? Does it add disp_vel_factor to disp_aim?

[zinc radish]

So... This is another game but anyway, I would like to know if anyone knows of any mod that makes the "Weapon/arm movement" similar to the one in the video, very sensitive and the weapon even has a small "Turn", i dont know if the Turning part is possible, but the movement must be. If anyone knows of a mod like this let me know :)

[undone flicker]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/weapon-inertia-redux this?

[zinc radish]

ALMOST, I don't know if this one is customizable, but I want a mod to swing a lot

and its not recoil

It's... the movement when you look around....

[undone flicker]

yeah I get it

[undone flicker]

maybe you can ask the author of the mod

[zinc radish]

well, it could be. but I think I would be annoying.

i can try

[woven terrace]

Helllooooo beautiful!

[woven terrace]

I'll check out your files buddy! If you still have capacity, then I'd love to further elaborate details with you and make your models into awesome mods!

[somber quarry]

why when I put the conditions of the weapons in the MCM as I want then in game it's not like that?

[fathom wagon]

Some mods that use MCM don't update their values on the spot. You might need to save then reload to see the effects.

@undone lily Sorry for the ping, but what was the reason that the Bounty Squad Rework and the GAMMA modifications for it got disabled? I remember someone explaining why way back when it first got disabled from GAMMA, but I can't remember.

[random fulcrum]

it's performance intensive

[fathom wagon]

Was there no decent way to help curb the performance issues from it? What were the main culprits?

[random fulcrum]

idk

[surreal gust]

sdalger nostalgia

[graceful sluice]

Of course, contact me if you have any questions or missing files

[fathom wagon]

I believe I just found a way to monkeypatch the general tasks init function to directly modify the task cooldown. Gonna test it on my current run and see if I notice it. Going to reduce all timeouts by 50%.

[fair canopy]

Another banger if so

[vernal cypress]

@simple scaffold I apologize for the ping, need to ask if do you still have the RF receiver indicator addon, I remember somebody on Anomaly server gave me the file few year ago so I can use the RF with blinking icon instead of the noise due to the nature of my hearing disability and he claimed that addon was made by you (I lost the file)

[simple scaffold]

It has been integrated in to catspaws detector mod.

If you look at that mod and don't want the rest of it I can dig up the stand alone WIP you had before

Or RF mod. Something of catspaws. I am bad with names.

[simple scaffold]

This: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/new-extensible-rf-sources

Which is also part of DAR

I think one or both of those may be part of gamma now..so you may be just need an MCM setting changed

[vernal cypress]

huh alright, i will check it out and thank you very much

[vernal cypress]

found the McM setting however it doesn't include the indicator so i will downloading this addon you just linked, once again, thank you very much

[simple scaffold]

If you can't get it working any other way I will dig out the WIP version

im using Weapon HUD mod, but once i hit the wall.. the position change to default, why is it

[jade oxide]

best bot message ever.

[peak dock]

I'm currently making changes to this mod: https://github.com/ahuyn/anomaly-loot
You can get weapons with randomized condition from crates in this already, but not armors.
I've been working on adding more boxes that contain armors and have gotten pretty far. I don't really know anything about scripting however, so making the armor condition random is proving to be a big hurdle, as one might have expected...

If someone with time and interest would like to help me I would apreciate it very much!

[crisp coral]

So I just learned that the KS-23K existed and I was curious if anyone made mods for it.... Because as dumb as it looks having a 7 round mag for that beast of a Mutant killing shell would be very nice XD

[slow bolt]

There is a mod for it

and it is just as bad as the gun looks

[sacred token]

When AA-12 auto shotgun

[crisp coral]

I mean like people say the normal KS23 is bad but I find it very very handy for killing things like Blood suckers XD I imagine with how Groks tooled ammo it would at least do that damage

[jade oxide]

i got a nice one stashed but the mod needs to be improved a bit

[red crescent]

anybody knows how to make the weapon hud changes permanent?

clicking on apply doesnt do anything, the weapon reverts back to its previous position after closing the edit menu

[simple scaffold]

As I understand it. That tool exports the settings then a file. You then need to use that to change the actual weapon section.

[red crescent]

the cache_dbg.ltx file doesnt output anything tho

[sacred token]

Maybe its because of MO2. Check the games gamedata folder and any mod folder which adds the cache_dbg file

[slow bolt]

Did you save the changes?

[simple scaffold]

mo2 might put that in the overwrite folder.

delete shader cache

[teal trail]

Doesn't work at all....

[undone lily]

DX11?

[teal trail]

Of course

[random fulcrum]

just change the shader config for water

it's easy enough

instructions are a few words in plain english

[teal trail]

I don't know how to do this

[random fulcrum]

open the settings file

in any text editor ever

change numbers

save

delete shaders cache

run the game

[undone lily]

the ssr config file

but defualt gamma doesn't have the issue

[surreal gust]

Anybody know how to fix the "No template found for the class WP_GROZA." an error i got trying to merge the spawns

[teal trail]

That is the problem.
Even after a complete reinstallation of the gamma, this bug remains!!!
No soft water
No furniture shadows
After reinstallation!

[teal trail]

even when running a completely unconfigured gamma, this bug is still present

[slow bolt]

Soft water should be enabled

not disabled

[teal trail]

Of course it on

no clue

[teal trail]

Very strange I'm don't understand why only me have this.....
I'm install totally clean gamma without changing satings start new game and have this....

[teal trail]

Maybe it will fix automatically whith new paches in future.
Thank you for being much kinder and friendlier than @slow bolt

[jade oxide]

i'm so much a noob when I fuck up my shaders, i reinstall gamma entirely. If you got optical fiber that's not that big of a deal to redo a clean install, and 99% of the time it's my fault merging incompatible graphics or not knowing jack shit of what i'm doing. I wonder what's the occurence of actual hardware-related game issues, but I think it's very little actually, but grok probably knows better.

[weary mantle]

Is there interest in more story focused mods? Or do those kinds of mods tend to be highly incompatible

[slow bolt]

Those mods tend to be complete aids to make

[weary mantle]

Is it because of the scripting aspect?

[slow bolt]

Its because of the Stalker's aids engine aspect

You can talk to Itheon if you want to find out more
Search this thread

[weary mantle]

Aight

[soft slate]

What specific lines in a weapon file do I need to edit to edit the damage?

[naive snow]

hit_power which acts as a modifier to the bullet damage

[sage cosmos]

I'm a little confused, but where should I start looking if I want to make a couple different outfits? (Not looking to make new models, just use the ones in the modpack already)

[naive snow]

You can add to the existing files, but using DLTX and DXML, which you can learn in the modding book in the pins, is way better to avoid losing work.
You'll need to make new entries to the armor config file, the XML file which contains armor descriptions and new icons I gues if you want those

Plus add the necessary stuff like repair parts and upgrade trees

[sage cosmos]

Fair. Just looking to make a couple outfits look different but not replace. I like their stats, I just don't want them to look that way

[naive snow]

You just want to modify the textures and visuals?

[celest forge]

Anyone knows why the draggable hud editor stops exporting to the file?

I remember it happened to me once but idk how to solve it

[naive snow]

Did you somehow mess up your overwrite section or maybe the recent modified exe are broken?

[celest forge]

I tried with a completely clean new anomaly install and it's still not working

with latest exes

[naive snow]

Maybe try roll backing the exe, I can send over mines if you want, worked two days ago

[celest forge]

I'll use the third last ones

Still not working

wtf

[naive snow]

Which DX version are you working with?

[celest forge]

11

[naive snow]

Try this one

[celest forge]

Bro what the fuck did you send me

[naive snow]

Are you playing with the latest SSS?

[celest forge]

Bro deadass infected my PC with a cripto miner ong

[celest forge]

No i don't use SSS

[naive snow]

Oh is that Silver's new map?

That might not work with my version of the exe, those aren't latest

Mines are like early February

They're Ascii's for the newest SSS update

[celest forge]

Oh

But yeah it's still not working

for whatever reason

This happened to me once but I can't remember what I did for the life of me

it was like a year ago

[naive snow]

RIP, maybe the drageable require some extra dependency or something?

[celest forge]

I mean even then I didn't change anything

It just stopped workin

Yeah idk

[sage cosmos]

Basically. Maybe add a funny description. Not really looking to add it to the world, I'll just give myself the item in debug when I get the equivalent, though having the knowledge to have it appear in traders and the like would be nice

Preferably, create a new item

I would imagine copying most of the code over would work, and I've done items for Arma 3, so I'm not entirely unfamiliar with modding. Just a little confused

[sage cosmos]

Mostly about where exactly to find the item and how... Spread out the data is

If that makes sense

[red crescent]

nope, the cache_debug.ltx doesnt output anything and theres only 1 file named like that related to gamma

[celest forge]

I'm having that same issue

Please let me know if you find a solution

[regal bolt]

Can someone explain to me the difference in application of panic_stand_run and danger_stand_run? What scenarios would each be used in?

[pulsar oyster]

So I'm just going to ask this question here at the suggestion of someone in #🔨modded-gamma-support

I'm looking for someone who uses the ANUS mod (Gamma Modpack) in combination with this mod (or has experience with this mod) -- https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/anomaly-151-track-stalkers-using-their-name-v10

I've been using the Track Stalkers mod throughout my game, but combining it with the ANUS mod makes some names (like the single-name Renegades) unfindable. Say I look up a Loner called 'Avdakt Lake', it will find them on the PDA, granted they 'exist'. If I look up singular storyline-important names like Noah, Gatekeeper, Sidorovich, Hip or Wolf, I can also find them. But when I look up a single-named characters created by the ANUS mod, such as Renegades with names like 'Blight', 'Ghost' or 'Scumbag' for example it will give me 'No stalkers found with this name' even though all these names are present in the name lists of ANUS.

Seemingly ANUS' mod author uses the STX text protocol/sign to 'give'/trick the game into thinking stalkers just have one singular name, but I have no way of replicating that STX sign in-game itself to find them. From what I can gather I think the game is expecting to find 'two names' for regular stalkers, which means STX (which denotes 'empty', rather than 'blank space character', from what I can gather), cannot find single-named stalkers which have 'STX' added as first/last name. I might be completely wrong on this, does anybody with more modding skills than I do have any idea how to fix this so I can track these single-named stalkers? I'd like to make my own patch for this, if it's even possible, but I lack the skills to figure out how.

[fair canopy]

Dunno if it'll do anything but try changing the save mode to regular and then back to cache save. I think it's enter on numpad

[low spindle]

Alright here the thing

Your build is becoming a furry version of anomaly and hip is protogen now

[paper needle]

Furry version of Anomaly? Doesn’t that already exist?

Its called EFP im pretty sure

[slow bolt]

That's hentai version

Just go and have fun in newbie's, it's choke full of people to mess around with
and better than the mod-making chat

[slow bolt]

cant have shit in gamma

I make mods so im always here lol my b tho

[naive snow]

Heck messing up the base and modded support chat could also be a fun time

[summer girder]

Fuckin' yoink-eth

[naive snow]

How's the new update of BHSO going btw? The surgeon animation and all

[slow bolt]

nuh-uh aint talking to you

you ruined the fun

[naive snow]

I ain't the one who gave it all away

I gave a slight hint

[slow bolt]

Cant be mad at falco

[slow bolt]

||(its not)||

Surv animation is already available as a mod to add on top

[naive snow]

Neat I'll have to check it out soon

[slow bolt]

@naive snow #1137162280816099450 message

Its been out for >2 weeks

[naive snow]

Thank god for the quick wheel mod

I honestly should try making toolkits functionning with it so they open up a workbench straight from it

[random fulcrum]

jesus fucking christ a 30 second long downtime

when does the item kick in

[summer girder]

Realistic overhaul moment

[naive snow]

Hopefully not when the kit is put back

[slow bolt]

~23 seconds

[random fulcrum]

get health gated and instantly pop surv kit out of reflex
it's a 23 second long animation now
healing starts 20 seconds in

[slow bolt]

It doesnt heal

All it does is makes you able to heal the limb from 0

You are not supposed to use it in combat

So it is the purest form of skill issue to exist

[random fulcrum]

ah i thought it was still a keg of health

[slow bolt]

Nope, you thinking of survival kit

This is a surgery kit. Used for surgery and nothing else

[surreal gust]

Build 1844 map

[random fulcrum]

you know having a firing range map wouldn't be bad

[surreal gust]

I already made one, but i'm porting this from build 1844

Added the missing physics props

[summer girder]

Finally
Somewhere to test ballistics in, using stalker meters

[surreal gust]

Since it is a test map after all

It has all of the required ammo, weapons, attachments

Physics props too

[jade oxide]

imagine hip protogen and ACTOR AS WELL

[celest forge]

@steady apex Hello, sorry to bother you, do you know why with the Draggable HUD editor mod it might not export to the cache-dbg file? I tried a completely new install of anomaly with the latest exes, as well as the build I always use it with and it's not working in either

[celest forge]

I did try that to no avail

[fair canopy]

It doesn't rely on modded exes does it?

[celest forge]

I think it does yeah

But I didn't change them when it stopped working

Just was working one moment, I rebooted the game to change something in the gun's animations, and it stopped working

[jade oxide]

good luck having demonized replying to you, you need to take appointment i think lol

[soft slate]

If I don't want to use photoshop, what's a good free alternative? I wanna mess around with modding.

[summer girder]

Is it bad to want GM_Construct (with permission) in Anomaly/GAMMA?

[surreal gust]

This is a test map from build 1844 xd

Was a pain to decompile, fix broken .ogf files and config static objects via actor editor.

[random fulcrum]

it's been already 2 hours since you asked for help, weapons modder that everyone forgets about after 2 hours

[surreal gust]

Shader edition

[surreal gust]

It's better to ask him at the anomaly server, tbh.

[hollow ravine]

how would i go about changing the running animation on a pistol ?

[neon kite]

don't like the rex's?

[steady apex]

hello, i dont know, works ok on my side

[hollow ravine]

trying to give the desert eagle the same anim as every normal pistols

[slow bolt]

oh yeah that aint gonna happen

[hollow ravine]

damn

so cant do anything about the p90 clipping either ?

[celest forge]

If someone finds out the solution for this pls let me know

[fair canopy]

Maybe it's your pc blocking the script from writing data

[celest forge]

How tho

[celest forge]

@surreal gust it was your map

LMAO

idk why

Disabled it and now it works

[surreal gust]

Didn't change anything related to that tbh

I just changed the level files.

[celest forge]

No clue man

I just know that I only changed that and it works lol

[surreal gust]

It would have been better to upload it as a level spawn file instead of replacing fake start or merging the spawns

but then the "I can't read" issues would afloat

[surreal gust]

OpenXRay gunslinger edition

[peak zealot]

Hello, how to turn on the Maids HD icons in MO2? I reinstalled this like its written, and I dont know should i turn off the Cr3pis icons

[narrow stirrup]

I have the same problem, have to take a pic with the mobile to set the values on the ltx

[bright dagger]

um

does anyone know if CRCR works with gamma

[slow bolt]

It does

[peak dock]

Any clue what could cause this?:

[simple scaffold]

anomaly loot boxes. still trying to figure out why exactly and how to avoid it.

[peak dock]

Yeah, so it's a problem with vanilla boxes too?

I'm adding new ones that can contain outfits and I started getting this error, but only when opening some boxes

Clearly a problem too complex for me 🙂

[simple scaffold]

something with how arti is closing the inventory doesn't properly clear the picker state and as a result on re opening the inventory it tries to read a value that does not exist

[peak dock]

Alright I'm following, I think.
If you ever figure it out I'd love to know.

[simple scaffold]

i am still trying to figure out exactly what needs to change. (and convince arti he needs to make the change)

[peak dock]

Could that be related to the "busy hands" thing?
I've tried to get in contact with them but no luck on my end.
Since I am making my own version I would love to have it patched at least.

[simple scaffold]

no. this is something else.
Arti is way less active than he used to be. and popular modders get a lot of random pings, no offence.

basically when you use the pick on the box arti calls a funciton to hide the UI. posibly swapping that with a call to the inventory close functon might fix it. Or adding a tiny fraction of a second delay via a timed event. or both.

[peak dock]

Alright, and I take no offence to it. You can't help every dweeb with 0 Lua and Xray experince!

[soft slate]

I learned from 20% asking and 80% looking stuff up/FUAFO by editing stuff

I'm kinda comfortable editing .ltx files

[peak dock]

Im quite good at .ltx's from just using mods, at this point.
But I've sat on this .script for like a week. Trying to get boxes that drop outfits with anything other than 100% condition.

Scripting is not my fotré shall we say!😅

[soft slate]

Neither is it mine lol, I'm slowly learning, I wanna be good enough at the basics to mod in Stalker2

Scripting is such a pain IME

[peak dock]

Yeah. Mind you Stalker 2 is gonna be a whole new engine and shiz. A new catalog of stuff needing to be learnt.

[naive snow]

None of what you're learning here will be applicable to stalker 2 really

[soft slate]

Yep, but having the basics such as anims and models will help a bunch. It'll be trial and error working with the files.

[random fulcrum]

watch as motherfuckers manage to get lua to do things for stalker 2

[soft slate]

I've got 3 separate Stalker installs, one is GAMMA, one is my main modded anomaly, and the 3rd is going to be my testing instance

[naive snow]

but whyyyyyy

[random fulcrum]

yeah right? they should add zscript

[naive snow]

Go straight to assembly

[soft slate]

Imagine we get furry traders from a mod lmao

[celest forge]

https://tenor.com/view/jfk-clone-high-i-like-your-funny-words-magic-man-jack-black-gif-18659433

[peak dock]

Hey I leaned C# in highschool. Thatcarried me through making a functional mod in Lua. Some experience is better than none.

[soft slate]

I've tried learning coding but it I lose braincells trying to keep up.

[naive snow]

I'm really curious what kind of shader material pipeline they're going to be running and the game's initial selection of weapons

[soft slate]

My current achievement is editing very basic stuff for guns (fire rate, damage, etc.) and brutally abusing my poor new_game_loadouts.ltx

[soft slate]

Who knows what they'll give us, but someone is gonna make a mod within days to change that, and I plan to abuse that poor thing too XD

What's really gonna suck is learning blender, gimp, and the other programs to use for making the mods themselves and learning how to integrate it into anomaly and eventually S2. I've got them downloaded I just have to learn to use them. Gotta watch tutorials and burn my brain on that too.

[peak dock]

Given the power of the Unreal engine I imagen there's a lot of possibilities on the shader front. I'm expecting the guns to be on par with the earlier games.

[soft slate]

Isn't it using UE5?

[peak dock]

yeah

[soft slate]

Some crazy shit is gonna happen with it. I'm betting on that.

[naive snow]

You actually can hardly inject proper shaders into UE games, it's a fucking pain because everything is cooked for the game

[soft slate]

So UE is anti-modding basically?

[naive snow]

Plus if they use any of the new tech, having to pre-process meshes is going to be fucking painful

[naive snow]

It's not anti-modding, but it's unfriendly

There's just a lot of pre-processing of meshes that needs to be done so it can be packaged and used in a build

[soft slate]

Adding a ton of extra steps?

[naive snow]

Well the need to configure an environment similar to their engine setup so you can bake similar data really for your models and stuff

[peak dock]

We'll have to see I guess. I have some hopes GSC values the modding community somewhat

[naive snow]

I just think they're indifferent to it more than anything

[soft slate]

Maybe they'll do it like Bethesda and integrate modding into it.

[peak dock]

Probably not they dont have bethesda levels of cash

[soft slate]

True

[naive snow]

There's no modding support on Unreal's front really, so unlike bethesda where it's their old ass engine they just keep on modifying and the modding support was already integrated years ago.
There's no point in doing modding support as a feature in recent games

[soft slate]

I wonder just how difficult it will be

[celest forge]

Probably not much more difficult than with this piece of shit engine

[naive snow]

Pretty darn difficult since they'll most likely have their own version of Unreal running, not the binary version available

Like the game won't come with the sln visual studio project file or any of the environment setup.

[soft slate]

Well, we have 5 months to wait and find out.

[naive snow]

So there's no way of knowing internally what plugins they're running, what engine side modification they have or any way to decompile their shaders back to nodes for the material editor

[soft slate]

Basically it'll be FAAFO when it comes out lmao

[naive snow]

So you'll be able to do model swaps early on, but anything more than that is going to be PAIN

[soft slate]

Well gents, heres to me having several S2 installs for messing with

[naive snow]

The unfriendly modding environment of new games can be blamed on data-miners and cheaters making devs just trying to water tight and black box their whole game

[soft slate]

Totally not calling out Sledgehammer Studios and the fact that cheaters had access to the engine BEFORE launch

It was embarassing as hell when that leaked out.

[regal bolt]

does anyone have the mod that replaced the mein kampf for the holy bible? i swear there was a mod like that somewhere

[soft slate]

The what?

[regal bolt]

mein kampf

[soft slate]

The book right? From WW2?

[regal bolt]

yeah

[soft slate]

I'm making sure I understand this correctly.

Where the hell is that even at???

[celest forge]

in debug

[regal bolt]

it doesnt spaw

n

yeah in debug

[celest forge]

It's the only book that was left in anomaly

by the devs

gee i wonder why

[regal bolt]

i wanna replace it for something

might just have to find it myself

[celest forge]

It's on the anomaly server I think

I made one but for the communist manifesto as a joke for myself lol

[soft slate]

I did a quick search and didn't find anything, I'd recomemnd just grabbing a texture and replacing it.

I only use debug to test new items so I had 0 clue this even existed,

[regal bolt]

bro i was gonna do that

LOL

[celest forge]

Have at it then

[regal bolt]

tysm man

[celest forge]

Oh it was actually Das Kapital

same shit

[soft slate]

I swear this game has the most random items, and even more random mods

[surreal gust]

You aren't alone

I'm probably one of the few in this community that know how to use the level editor to it's fullest potential.

But I have ABSOLUTE ZERO coding skills.

[summer girder]

Blame whoever made Misery for STALKER CoP

[regal bolt]

is it possible to change the icon of the mein kampf ingame? or just the desc

[surreal gust]

Without them, there wouldn't be anomaly

There probably would be anomaly but it would be cop based

[naive snow]

You can probably do both

[celest forge]

You could change the icon yeah

[regal bolt]

gonna try and find the icon for it then

ty

[surreal gust]

Wtf, who added that

[regal bolt]

its in debug

[surreal gust]

Wasn't expecting this at all

[regal bolt]

but i want a das kapital or comm manifesto for morale boosting during freedomer runs

[surreal gust]

Freedomers love painter, confirmed.

[regal bolt]

dutyers do

most definitely

or renegades

[peak dock]

Actually, I removed the UI function completely and it seems to have fixed the crashing AND the busy hands, unless I've completely missunderstood what the BH bug does.

[simple scaffold]

Call this function to spawn them.

How would I go about swapping FDDA animations? For example, one thing I want to do is use the glucose shot animation for epinephrine. Any help would be appreciated

i aleady gave a tutorial. dont remember if it was here or in anomaly discord

you can find it if you search
