[surreal gust]

They added the invisible clips partially

Bro, it's not like that

You just add an invisible clip to stairs

[unreal leaf]

but its not just stairs

[surreal gust]

You don't have to edit the existing collisions

Ik

[unreal leaf]

that just a botch, youre adding a ductape solution onto the problem instead of fixing it

[surreal gust]

It's literally how anomaly devs did it

Intended solution

[slow bolt]

It is mostly stairs

[misty mulch]

iirc - and i do not make weapons, i am repeating snippets of conversation here:

• alter mosin model to have a silencer bone
• alter mosin configs to be able to equip/combine gun with the silencer
• alter mosin + silencer configs for proper gun placement
  something something world model v.s. hud model

[surreal gust]

That's the intended way of fixing these stairs

[quasi narwhal]

you're not gonna edit every single prop
plus I don't think you're accounting for edge cases that the code also has to cover
if the original the game doesn't have a solution in place, you'll most likely have to cover different scenarios

[surreal gust]

Adding more unnecessary shit (script logic) can hurt performance

[quasi narwhal]

or do you really think they just left out 5 LoC that could've done this? lol

[slow bolt]

This is the main concern

as nobody actually even looked at the code

while he gave a solution i already talked about

[surreal gust]

That's why recompiling level.cform is the way

[slow bolt]

just didnt know it was this easy

[ruby dust]

thr configs seems doable. but Altering the model? like in blender?

[misty mulch]

yes

[unreal leaf]

the code is there, it needs to be adjusted.

[ruby dust]

damn it, I don't know bones work

I gotta look it up

[unreal leaf]

I mean go ahead, I was just giving my 2 cents on it. A function for stair stepping will not cause performance issues.

[surreal gust]

You're still adding more logic tho

Doesn't matter how simple it is

[misty mulch]

also it seems like UGP has a silenced mosin so you could always figure out which mod it came from and either just use that, or reverse engineer it to learn how

[ruby dust]

ugp?

[surreal gust]

That's why editing the maps is the intended way

[limpid rose]

Fixing collision issues should always be done on level-basis and not by scripting

[surreal gust]

OG trilogy used this method

[unreal leaf]

saying "intended" is wild.

[misty mulch]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1233377233683484722 enormous gun pack.

[surreal gust]

Because it is

This ain't an engine from 2024, bro

It's from 2001

[unreal leaf]

point being?

[slow bolt]

That is how the OG games had it

[limpid rose]

I managed to get cordon loaded into blender, V-HCAD might be a way to make the process faster, but I can’t recompile

[quasi narwhal]

maybe it won't cause performance issues, but it's more code, thus the game is doing more things when you could simply take advantage of the SDK and the game engine and not do these extra steps

[surreal gust]

Yeah, bro

[lunar cargo]

Wondering if anyone can help me out. I've created my own poster for "hideout furniture expansion". Didn't feel like overriding, so I made more. Got everything to work. But can't figure out how to get the "new" posters to show up at the workbench to craft. Much less have the crafting recipe. Any help is appreciated.

[surreal gust]

The collision logic is already there

[unreal leaf]

but again, this doesnt fix the problem, it just fixing stairs. Am I the only one here that cares about the rest of the collisons in the game? :D

[surreal gust]

Adding more invisible clips obviously fixes the problem

[limpid rose]

Same can be done for railways and curbs, like silver mentioned, he can compile the collision file seperately

[quasi narwhal]

unless you implement inverse kinematics ala Alpha EFT and make the visible body visibly move its legs up and down on rocks, bumps and such, then no

[surreal gust]

Free of performance charge

[quasi narwhal]

I couldn't care less

it'd be just stairs cause damn those are terrible

[surreal gust]

Yeah, bro, fuck the stairs

[slow bolt]

They are really not the problem

[misty mulch]

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message read my crafting example - feel free to ask me if you have questions

[unreal leaf]

huh? What does leg animation have to do with character colision???

[surreal gust]

Stalker has inverse kinematics since CS

[unreal leaf]

just teleport the collision capsule up, like games have been doing for decades

[surreal gust]

Is it really worth editing the engine just to fix 1 problem?

[slow bolt]

Already a thing for a while

[quasi narwhal]

I'm saying that I couldn't care less about the current collisions (except for stairs), so if it is for someone to bring a "fix" for that, I'd want an actual fix for the model animations syncing etc, not just the "collision" itself

[surreal gust]

Y'all adding to much shit to the engine

[slow bolt]

its already synced

[surreal gust]

It's better to use xray 2.0 at this point

[unreal leaf]

thats what most engine edits were done for.

[surreal gust]

And? You can edit the level collisions without engine edits

[quasi narwhal]

well mostly janky but I guess it is

[slow bolt]

Not really janky

[unreal leaf]

Well good luck with the fix.

[surreal gust]

There's a reason why there are like only hundreds of people who KNOW how to use the sdk

[slow bolt]

Good luck to both of ya

[surreal gust]

And 10 people for anomaly based mods

[lunar cargo]

Ah ok, so basically it's the craft.ltx from another mod and adding the "icon" properly and recipe of my choosing? Am I understanding correctly?

[misty mulch]

no you make a dltx file (the gamedata/configs/items/settings/mod_craft_whateverTheFuckYouWantToCallThis.ltx file)
and then inside it you follow the format I lay out for you. You can ignore the ammo folder for your purposes

[lunar cargo]

oh ok appreciate it

[simple mica]

Hello brothers, I'm making a port of sounds from iwp for gamma. So, please tell me how I can add the sound of grenade collisions? Here are 2 video demonstrations.

1. No sound
2. With collision sound
   The very materials of these sounds
   (The sounds of weapons were easier to bear )

[misty mulch]

note that the exact position of this file is important, and that the file name MUST start with mod_craft_

[regal bolt]

Ngl I love the sound it makes when hitting concrete. Good job ^^

[slow bolt]

He didnt do it yet

[fair inlet]

gamemtl.xr I'd guess. Don't know how to edit it though

[simple mica]

thank you very much, I found a line with interaction with objects

[fair inlet]

don't forget to make a sss ice patch

[simple mica]

[ruby dust]

sorry to bother again but is there no other way to check the contents of it without downlaoding the whole thing?

[slow bolt]

Just use it

[random fulcrum]

it can be "dltx" since idr which version of modded exes exactly

[ruby dust]

its 7 fucking gigabytes, thats pretty hefty considering im not on wifi

[surreal gust]

Edit it with the sdk

Or decompile it and edit it manually, then compile it once you're done

[slow bolt]

only 7

[ruby dust]

and?

[surreal gust]

That's a bigger file size than IWP

[slow bolt]

exactly. its only 7 gigs

[surreal gust]

the greatest mod ever

[slow bolt]

IWP doesnt have much

[surreal gust]

It does have the most realistic details

Dynamic boolets, etc

[slow bolt]

And a custom engine, so it might as well not exist

[surreal gust]

Anomaly mods don't have that

[ruby dust]

im on limited data. so it's still a lot

[slow bolt]

welp, gl

[ruby dust]

not that it will stop me from downloading

[surreal gust]

IWP might be easier to port to anomaly than gunslinger

[ruby dust]

but still

[slow bolt]

Oh it is

[surreal gust]

Coc engine edits are already there

[fair inlet]

3dss makes it

[slow bolt]

It is slowly getting ported

with IWP fans shitting on every port

[ruby dust]

whats that?

[surreal gust]

I'm talking about the full IWP system

Not some shitty gun model ports

[fair inlet]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1219433143069708299

[slow bolt]

I blame devs for that

[misty mulch]

oh, neat

[surreal gust]

It took them 4 years to develop it

[slow bolt]

as they should have made that on anomaly engine instead of just making their own garbage

[surreal gust]

But why coc tho

[slow bolt]

[surreal gust]

I'm pretty sure coc was dead in 2020

[slow bolt]

even before that it was

[surreal gust]

Why not in CoM or last day

ik

[ruby dust]

well that makes things easier

[regal bolt]

Done or not the sound is just accurate and gives me ASMR vibes for some reason XD

[slow bolt]

Its the insurgency one iirc

I remember hearing this sound a lot

[regal bolt]

Well then. I must say that insurgency fuckin' nailed it

(Threw training grenades during a military camp. Shit was fire, even if I couldn't hit the mark, and was the only test I didn't pass)

[tawny stream]

Incel Weapons Pack

[tawny stream]

There's a saying that "close enough" is only good for horseshoes, hand grenades and the atomic bomb. I guess those trainers weren't familiar.

[regal bolt]

They required pinpoint accuracy out of a malfunctioning gun with a trigger that you touched sideways and it fired if the gun was cocked

I literally had a misfire happen

Thank God nobody was stupid enough to walk downrange as I was getting down on the shooting platform

@undone lily So what should be the main directive of the rebalance and how high can I go with the resistances?

Can I go the inverted pyramid where The further from the bottom the higher rad+anomalous resistances, or higher balls+physical resistances?

With the respective corners grant an immunity to their specific thing?

Or would you rather have every helmet have their own specific gimmick?

[open oasis]

what

[random fulcrum]

bro took a "please do" from grok way too seriously

[regal bolt]

[undone lily]

As I told you, helmets are fine. There are maybe 1 or 2 that could profit from a slight boost especially in the heavy / medium range

Like sphere 8

[regal bolt]

What do you say about the "Sphere M12" rebalance being inbetween Exohelm and M50?

Could make Sphere 08 the same way, but with the lower shelf stuff like PPM-99 and Apocalypse

[formal mountain]

Food for thought about the terrain movement issue, are physics in the game affected by frame rate or frame times?

It’s a very common thing in older games specifically where frame rates affect your physics or movement/fall speed, gets used a lot for speedrunning. If this has some effect on stalkers physics, might be a place to start investigating the issue.

[undone lily]

Is way too common to be this good

[undone lily]

It’s not

[formal mountain]

My next thought would be about gravity in stalker, it feels like you hit the ground like a brick, you fall extremely fast, so that would be the only other idea I’d have for a surface level observation

[regal bolt]

Fair point, but that's rather death_outfits issue than actual stat rebalance, additionally it makes sense for a good, but not unique helmet to be common

[undone lily]

Zone specific helmet = rare

Change my mind

[formal mountain]

Just remember how much mantling would kill you if you hit the wrong angle, you’d explode instantly lol

[slow bolt]

zone specific? what does that mean

[regal bolt]

In the Zone itself that's invalid I'd say. Screen helmet is common af and it was made specifically for the Zone. Same with Sphere M12 really

Outside of it would be fine, but like in the case of Ranger or ACH, but not Sphere series, Exo, Spartan, Screen (and GP-5 that should be common af below the Bar) these are literally Zone Only

[regal bolt]

Ever got that glitch that you climbed a small sized window and either fell through the map or got on the roof? That was fun XD

[formal mountain]

The window glitch was really fun to mess with

You could scale some locations with it

[regal bolt]

Actually I see your point to some degree, but I would give it another take.

WP factions besides maybe low tier stalkers, bandits and military would have the helmets developed for outside of the zone, or none

While NATO factions besides Freedom would have most of the outsider helmets, which would be badly developed, offering minimal anomalous res while fixating on the primary (Rad res/Ballistic res) stat

[undone lily]

Basic gas mask vs zone adapted model

(Aka with rupture res for instance)

[regal bolt]

Like being complete opposite to the NATO vs WP weaponry, where all 5.56s feel the same, the NATO helmets would be fixated on something specific

[undone lily]

NATO and WP applies to guns only

Helmets don’t use ammo

[regal bolt]

I guess

But we could separate them for Zone adapted and not

With the non-adapted being used mainly by the lower tier stalkers and NATO factions besides Freedom, that have low understanding of the Zones dangers?

If you wanna go "Super realismo way"

[naive snow]

Gaz mask models should honestly provide more chemical resistance overall really

[regal bolt]

True that

Like here. Sphere might be a combat helmet, but it has an integrated gas mask, so I would say that these numbers make sense in a "Realistic way"

I might have overdone it on psy res tho

Should make that an Exohelmets thing with the visible Psy-Dome band

[slow bolt]

Most helmets are zone ones

so

[regal bolt]

Exactly

[undone lily]

Yeah I agree but it predates artefacts then

[surreal gust]

Tir3 for IWP

[warped swallow]

The bumpy surface creates high pointed triangles in the rendering. the movement at those points is like a mountain and valley in the game and slows down walking extremely. (If that's what you mean)
By putting an invisible layer over it you make it smoother again and the player will not notice it. After all, it is a thin layer above it.
I'm not a programmer but I've done a lot of landscape rendering. This is a kind of surrogate solution but probably works.

[surreal gust]

Those aren't triangles

That's POM (parallax occlusion mapping)

It has been there since clear sky

[ruby dust]

what is an OGF file?

i wanted to access a weapons models. but i think i've looked in the wrong place

[random fulcrum]

ogfs are the models

[surreal gust]

Compiled models

.ogf files are used for dynamic props

[frozen flicker]

i thought parallax was like a shader that just provides the illusion of depth to a surface without requiring any actual additional geometry

[ebon copper]

Has there been any progress regarding the bumpy ground issue

[regal vigil]

I'm trying to understand gamma ballistics and I have a question - why do the formulas differ in the numerator part when calculating damage on mutants and npcs?
shit.power = shit.power / ( 1 + ...)
shit.power = wpn_hit_power / ( 1 + ...)
In both cases this is declared but not used in the case of mutants local wpn_hit_power = ui_wpn_params.read_float(sec, "", "hit_power") Where does the value for shit.power come from if it is to be calculated

I'm bad at stalker modding, sorry

[surreal gust]

That's literally what parallax is

Stalker uses POM since clear sky

[lament basin]

Hi, what does gamma base it's loadout weapon probability on?

; When an npc spawn in the Zone, a loadout will be decided and spawned on him based on many factors:
; 1. Script will check [loadouts_per_squad] first to see if NPC's squad section name has a defined loadout
; 2. if not found, then it will [loadouts_per_name] to see if NPC's section name has a defined loadout
; 3. if not found, then it will [loadouts_per_visual] to see if NPC's model has a defined loadout
; 4. if not found, then it will check NPC's rank and community loadout [loadout_"community"_"rank"]
; 5. if not found, then it will check NPC's community loadout only [loadout_"community"]
; 6. if not found, then it will check the default loadout [loadout_default]
; 7. if not found, make me a favor and uninstall the mod```

Does it primarily follow the Dynamic Npcs steps and if so, is the probability displayed accurate based on an average of all steps?

[surreal gust]

its* it ain't that hard, bro

[lament basin]

autocorrect does that automatically

I’m aware of how grammar works

[lament basin]

or does it work based on Gammas other npc mods

[misty mulch]

it uses the vanilla npc loadout spawn script, so what you read still applies. some guns are injected into the npc loadout e.g. the thompson and the steyr scouts (i think, not 100% certain on the steyrs). and 99% of the time, the only files that HAVE a loadout are step 5

the lines in the loadout work on weighed probability

so the formula for a gun's probability to drop for a given stalker of a known rank and faction is
(number of lines that specify the weapon) * (weapon spawn chance, default 50%) / total number of lines in the npc's combined loadout section(s)

e.g. if you had an npc loadout

gun_1:r:0:0:50
gun_1:r:0:0:50
gun_1:r:0:0:20
[imagine there's 7 more lines for other guns here]

the formula for drop chance SHOULD be (2 * 0.5) + (1 * 0.2) / 10, if i have my maths right

[lament basin]

which are already in the code anyways then

iirc

[misty mulch]

read the files from the gamma npcs loadout mod

[lament basin]

will do

[lament basin]

Because I saw three different mods be mentioned, but only one of them is important?

[misty mulch]

which mods were mentioned and what are you trying to do

[lament basin]

trying to find the probability of a gun spawning or getting carried by an npc

[misty mulch]

ok, then go through the gamma npc loadout mods, chase down the chains of section inheritance, collect the full list of gun spawns per faction/rank, and then run that calculation

not saying it's simple

but that's how you would do it

[lament basin]

per verbatim: you'll need the npc_loadouts.ltx from unpacked Anomaly, npc_loadout__name.ltx from 29- Dux's Innemurable Characters, and npc_loadouts_[faction] from GAMMA NPC Loadouts

[misty mulch]

yeah? that's not mods per se

that's just... telling you which files to pay attention to

[lament basin]

ah alright

[misty mulch]

(whoever that was also forgot to tell you about the scripted npc loadouts in the character_desc_*.xml files)

[lament basin]

So they all work in conjunction with each other

[misty mulch]

yes they work together at the same time

[lament basin]

So I need to take each calculation from them and then take an average?

[misty mulch]

fwiw @restive forge iirc was also working on answering this q?

[lament basin]

yeah, i’m going to try assist them

[misty mulch]

not quite

[lament basin]

I’m currently working on a script for it

so it can automate it

[misty mulch]

first identify what kind of NPC you are trying to figure out drops for - a specific npc ID or a certain faction/rank. if you are looking at specific NPC ids, then look at character_desc_*.xml files and npc_loadout_name.ltx

if it's just faction by rank, you want to look at the npc_loadouts_(faction) files

then, figure out the inheritance chains for the rank, thankfully for you Anon also asked me to help so I already have those

[lament basin]

Most likely, do it by faction and then rank spread

[lament basin]

tysm

this makes it easier

[misty mulch]

so e.g. for army_master, you need to combine the contents of stalker_master, army_master_primary, army_master_secondary

then you run that weighed probability calculation, the (number of lines * probabilty of those lines) + (do that for diff. probabilities) / total number of lines in the combined section thing

you can easily work out probability per line by simply splitting each line on : and reading the last item in the resulting array

would just need to write a simple check to see if there's no chance defined, which means you'd have to use the default probability

(could probably go by length of array after splitting)

[lament basin]

Yep, I’ll get this done and then check back in to see how it goes

[misty mulch]

[lament basin]

hm, it seems like there are partial duplicates

[misty mulch]

i mean yeah that's how the inheritance works

basically every other faction uses the loner loadouts as a basis

and for some of the higher ranks, it's just identical, like the dolg stuff

[lament basin]

wouldn’t it be AM = SM, AMO, AMS

[misty mulch]

only for that specific faction rank

it's not necessarily consistent

and it's additive, because of how sections work, none of them are overwrites

SPEAKING OF OVERWRITES.

[lament basin]

that’s good

wait

[misty mulch]

read npc_loadouts_m1a1.ltx

[lament basin]

image loading

[lament basin]

ah

give it a sec

[misty mulch]

i do not have a simple way of explaining that lol

[misty mulch]

i'm not 100% certain what you are trying to say with this image?

[lament basin]

should it not be

this format

Wait, am I thick

oh

[misty mulch]

yeah parent is arbitrary?

[lament basin]

yep

realised

as soon as I put that in here just now

[lament basin]

I’m so fucking sorry

My brain decided to have a fucking laugh at me

[misty mulch]

lol np. it can be confusing to follow. more so once you realise you have to now read and understand the m1a1 loadout injection shit

which i never got around to breaking down + understanding. like i could tell you how it works, couldn't tell you how i'd write the script to accomodate it

[lament basin]

hopes and prayers

[misty mulch]

oh nonono that's a shared problem now

[lament basin]

that chain already hurts my eyes due to visual stress disorder

you gave me a migraine

[simple scaffold]

[near solstice]

against TOS, ban

[slow bolt]

no

[surreal gust]

Ok, it turns out

It's possible to rework anomaly levels

Adding new stuff is possible.

[fair canopy]

get to it

[surreal gust]

Not now

This means the terrain can be modified or even changed

[slow bolt]

ok where to donate. Where boosty

[surreal gust]

This could also mean that the storylines can be reworked

With access to spawn elements, everything is possible

[surreal gust]

nah, it's free

monokit reference

[drifting dirge]

Or figure out whether it is possible to add a buffer constant dependent on actor velocity and rate of height change.. a threshold or cushioning of some sort.

[coral brook]

thought Grok's Ballistics Overhaul would grant pen on woods or even thin metal walls but turns out I was wrong tho.
AP ammos doesnt even pen wooden boxes.
wonder if there's way to let AP ammos have pen walls.. suppose it's possible since it's a feature from SoC actually

[idle oasis]

what about removing, like some invisible walls in Limansk?

or changing NPC pathing there?

[undone lily]

What do you mean ? Geometry was never an issue. AI Grid is the issue no ?

[surreal gust]

Ai grid and the spawn elements

Are now possible to be changed

[undone lily]

Fix the WT sniper nest now

[surreal gust]

I asked chocohex if the sources worked for him

He said yes

[undone lily]

But you need to recompile everything right ?

Even though you just modified one level ?

[surreal gust]

Yeah, that's piss easy

Compiler can compile multiple spawns at once

[undone lily]

Is it because of a new tool that is available or ?

[surreal gust]

No, that's how it's been done since the og sdk

Spawn merge tool is used for custom levels

[undone lily]

Time to work then

[surreal gust]

Since all you do is merge a spawn

My to do list is to rework all anomaly levels

Or coc levels for iwp

[surreal gust]

I have to confirm if it works

Gotta wait for someone to send the level sources

Basically, I will recompile all of the spawns for each level

And if the game launches and the map too

Then it's possible to rework them

This also means that more logic can be added into levels

Making them more dynamic

[surreal gust]

That too

[idle oasis]

https://tenor.com/view/senator-palpatine-anakin-skywalker-phantom-menace-gif-10607636

[undone lily]

But that’s the issue mate

[celest forge]

Does that mean also adding new maps?

[undone lily]

The sources of the level was lost

Even Anomaly team itself doesn’t have the sources of the level

These are Last Day levels and the sources were lost ages ago

[surreal gust]

no, mlr locations is what i mean

i know only 2 people who have them (1 of them told me he will send it to me when he fixes some issues with the pack, not related to anomaly)

the vk post got taken down by the owner since he quit modding

[surreal gust]

that was always possible

[surreal gust]

not the one from moddb

the one from the vk post

[surreal gust]

actually no, anomaly levels use MLR sources

prob for last day too

iirc, mlr version is 6.1, idk

that doesn't mean that they don't have a single level source for anomaly

if you look at the great swamps, it's completely different from last day and other stalker mods

this also means levels can be replaced if you keep the necessary spawn elements

[undone lily]

Imo top 1 priority is making ennemies go into the swamp water. Especially mutants

[surreal gust]

That can be done easily.

[regal vigil]

Grok can you answer my question? #╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

[lilac idol]

So after updating to mags redux 2024 i noticed that the Beretta PX4 still had the shitty 9x18 "upgrade", the problem is that the only mag available other than the 9x19 is a .45 one. so i took a look at the w_beretta.ltx and wpn_px4_up.ltx from PPP and it seems that apparently there is an upgrade available which does look like it converts the gun to .45. i was wondering if i could get any help on this since i don't even understand what the upgrades in the first pic mean.

i hope i'm not disturbing you but i don't really understand how these upgrades work

[simple scaffold]

The water shouldn't be a full navgrid like an open plain. It should be a spider web of paths with high node density. or high edge values.

Goals for NPC/Mutants being
1, limit the ways into the water to where there are openings in the grass that make sence. only small poritons of pond/lake shores are good places to go in and out.

2, limit the pathing in water to simulate the unstable unlrealibal nature of picking ones way over pond muck.

3, those paths should end up weighted by the AI (due to node count or edge values depending on how the map works) such that only significant cuts get made. Going to a point on the opposite bank: good. Entering the water, paralleling the shore then exiting to the same bank: bad.

For players since they wouldn't be affected by the ai grid:
I never liked the original radiation mechanic or anomaly's attempted improvement. I think players in the water should get a combination of stamina and cary weight debuffs. could be done with space restrictors. a second set of space restrictors represent paths of solid pond bottom where one can move thru the water with no, or only minor, difficulty. these could get turned on and off at random with emissions.

that could be a use for the compass artifact. It could put a trail of particle effects along the fast paths thru the water.

[surreal gust]

Water is an object placed in the level editor. (with special material parameters) I can make only some parts of the water accessible for npcs and mutants

All water in stalker doesn't submerge the player because it'll look weird

However, I'm not the best guy when it comes to map logic with spawn elements

By rework, I meant with the map geometry, and maybe some extra logic

I might edit the terrain

[simple scaffold]

i know.

can it impede the player any other way, make them walk slower?

i know it could be done via script.

but messy

[surreal gust]

I think you can

Like make a script that detects if the player is colliding with "water" material

In clear sky, water made you slower

They changed this in cop

[worthy fiber]

so is it possible to adapt something like the garbage with the ai grid from true stalker mod?

[surreal gust]

I assume you mean fake stalker mod, yes?

[worthy fiber]

yeah

[surreal gust]

Yes, but I'll need their level sources

The geometry from fake stalker is way different than anomaly

[worthy fiber]

i saw somewhere someguy's screenshots with the locations from that mod
but it was without ai grid. only geometry

[surreal gust]

What do you mean no ai grid?

No ai grid = can't enter the level

Because the spawn elements require ai grids to work

[worthy fiber]

oh i mean ai grid was from anomaly localtions

[surreal gust]

That includes graph points and the actor spawn

[worthy fiber]

but geometry was from true stalker

[surreal gust]

What mod was he testing this on

[worthy fiber]

looks like cordon from fake stalker

[surreal gust]

All I can say is that he decompiled fake stalker levels

[silk pollen]

would it be plausible to create a new hunger-like stat that ticks down with time and gives you certain status conditions, and approximately how much effort would that take?

[random fulcrum]

???

[silk pollen]

a new stat that gradually lowers with time, can be tracked in the hud, and can be increased back up with items

something that functions like hunger or thirst in that sense

[simple scaffold]

steal the thirst script. change the variable and function names, change the item property that has the change value for the new stat. add that property to existing or new items.

some icons for adding the buff to actor status hud. this will be done slightly differently than thirst. more like how my bleeding indicator mod works.

hack the tooltips to display this new stat. (mags redux has an example of this)
same for descriptions, xcvb's bhs has examples of this, (and the tool tip as well i think)

[quasi narwhal]

does anyone know if there's an anxiety mod for Anomaly? thinking about coding one but dont want to reinvent the wheel

i.e. your character gets fucked after getting shot at/killing someone

[slow bolt]

Pussy mod lmao

there is psy stress mod. Has similar idea

[quasi narwhal]

yeah I checked psy stress and it's similar but not exactly what I was looking for

thx, will try something out

[steady apex]

no, but there is an opposite mod

you get fucked after you got killed

YEP THAT'S THE ONE

i don't think you're allowed to post that here

[surreal gust]

then the comment wouldn't exist at moddb

you're fine, as long as it doesn't hurt their business

1984 mods remember

implying the moderation on moddb is nearly as active or as strict as the moderation here

but fair enough hope you don't get warned for that

[surreal gust]

i think the last sentence is what you meant against the rules

[open oasis]

and also the F-slur yeah

[surreal gust]

bro, the c word gets spammed in this server daily

💀

[open oasis]

it's just an insult, the F-slur deliberately targets a certain group of people (or a sexuality if you will)

but then again i don't make the rules or enforce them

[surreal gust]

yes, but he used 3 letters

[open oasis]

that same slur was posted here a few days ago and the member was muted for 7 days for circumventing the filter

[slow bolt]

what word

dont remember any c slurs

[surreal gust]

cu-

[slow bolt]

that isnt even a slur

what

just because youtube/twich think it is - doesnt make it so

[celest forge]

Cunt?

its a swear - nothing more

not into competitive racism I see

But anyways

mod making

[open oasis]

i am looking into Demonized's map backlog and he has made some seriously insane shit

i don't think there's a single mod there that i don't like

i think i might install the damage numbers mod, it looks super cool

I mean he's only the spine of the entire modding scene with his EXEs

[open oasis]

yeah i am aware

[fair canopy]

Doesn't work with gamma ballistics on stalkers

Only mutants

https://youtu.be/XWL0YMzHNSI is there any easy way to change the sounds on the 762 version of this aek? or are they all connected and you would need to create another aek altogether

[slow bolt]

Yeah. Should be easy

each weapon has its own classname, so you can edit its anything

[naive star]

checking in the config for the mod it doesnt allow that, is there another way to access that info easily?

[slow bolt]

You can add fields if they are not there

there are a lot of sounds guns have

[naive star]

the problem im seeing is they all share the same name and therefore changing one would change all of them, right? maybe im off base on that and im not really a modder so im dumb

[slow bolt]

aight, i will download and look

[slow bolt]

which one is 762

[naive star]

its the one with the black grip, the red camo one is just 545 as well

[slow bolt]

there are 3 guns in this.
wpn_aek
wpn_aek_camo
wpn_aek_duty

[random fulcrum]

aek_duty is the 7.62 onr

[naive star]

word

[slow bolt]

aight, so the sound changes are only for the default one. And i bet they share the sounds via inherit

so

![wpn_aek]
snd_bore                           = $no_sound
snd_draw                           = $no_sound

scripted_snd_hide                  = weapons\ak74\ak74_hide
scripted_snd_show_w_gl             = weapons\ak74\ak74_show

scripted_snd_switch_g              = weapons\ak74\ak74_gl_on
scripted_snd_switch                = weapons\ak74\ak74_gl_off

snd_shoot_grenade                   = weapons\ak74\ak74_gl_shoot
snd_reload_grenade                   = weapons\ak74\ak74_gl_re

scripted_snd_ammo_check_w_gl_aim   = weapons\ak74\ak74_ammo_check
scripted_snd_ammo_check_empty_w_gl_aim = weapons\ak74\ak74_ammo_check

this is how sounds are changed

[naive star]

im just confused because i open sounds and it only shows this. im operating off a very base level of knowledge

i see

so this is really cringe and nooby to ask but how do i even navigate to the aek_duty in the first place?

[slow bolt]

So for example to change the shoot sound you would:

![wpn_aek_duty]
snd_shoot                          = weapons\ak74\ak74_shoot - change the sound path

[naive star]

OHHHHH

im seeing now

gotcha

[slow bolt]

I looked in the files to see what this mod changed

[naive star]

yeah i found it, i for some reason though there should be 3 seperate ltx files for each aek instead of looking deeper. my bad

noob and cringe question as i said 😔

[slow bolt]

You create a new file called mod_system_whateveryouwant and paste that thing above there

edit the sound to the one you want and that is it

that file goes to gamedata/configs of your mod

[naive star]

Ok that makes sense

[median sundial]

is it possible to put this song into radio freedom please https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKtIeeCM_ZI

[naive star]

yeah i tried changing it and i assume this is correct, but no result in the end.

[fair inlet]

snd_shoot_actor is prioritised over snd_shoot

[naive star]

https://tenor.com/view/the-universe-tim-and-eric-mind-blown-mind-blown-meme-mind-explosion-mind-explosion-meme-gif-18002878

i was going to try just replacing it with the akm sounds from the other reanimation but i guess the way its setup is each mod just calls the ak74 sounds but theyre different due to whats inside each pack? not sure exactly but the blindside thing is more of a test than anything else

ok that worked but the sound is cooked so now i just need to find the proper route for whatever all the other 762s use

[fair inlet]

wpn_akm_snd_shoot_actor

[naive star]

yeah that just gives it the same sound as the original

[fair inlet]

[naive star]

again i am noobtarded so

[fair inlet]

snd_shoot_actor = wpn_akm_snd_shoot_actor

[naive star]

sick that worked

thanks

ill try to remember that syntax for any further guns if i decide to change the sounds

[potent delta]

I love that emote. I resonate with it on a spiritual level.

[unreal leaf]

Whats the internal name for loner stalkers?. Neutral?

[potent delta]

I think it's just 'stalker' but I'd have to check npc loadouts real quick.

Yeah, it's just 'stalker'.

[unreal leaf]

okay so meshes use a different naming scheme? :D

[potent delta]

Ecologists are ecolog, Sin is greh, Merc is killer, etc.

[slow bolt]

They can vary sadly

[potent delta]

I assume the naming convention is universal, since it's also used for spawning and stuff but I could be wrong. I haven't done any modeling stuff.

[unreal leaf]

theres no such thing as a "stalker" npc mesh

[potent delta]

As much as I wanna dip into 3 modelling, not necessarily for Stalker stuff but they could eventually cross paths.

[unreal leaf]

so I am gonna assume its Neutral

[slow bolt]

neutral is also loners

[unreal leaf]

Hmm.

it does not look great. But it can work, gonna scrap and try again

[random fulcrum]

this shit has no right of going this hard

[unreal leaf]

I am so incredibly rusty with character modeling

[timber cedar]

[modern widget]

we're so back

[summer girder]

He's gaming

[vernal epoch]

I love opening this channel. You never know what its going to be

[unreal dome]

Can you make the world smoother or make the bumps superficial so they don't screw up the player movement? Just an idea.

[gleaming pollen]

I would imagine the character hitbox has a z=0 plane that you could expand somewhat, but id anticipate then that the player would "hover" out from and just above any stairs/ramps/AngelaWhites/slopes

Or is the hitbox snug and formfit for her cheekibreeki pleasure?

[foggy marlin]

I want to add a magazine capacity of 40 9x19 to MP5 and MP5SD. did you write it correctly?

[hazy trellis]

is it possible to alter load game ui to be more convenient? like tile for each saves

[torpid badge]

This error is because you used the same id as something that exists without using DLTX override

Your item should be [magazine_9x19_cnt_40] to create a new unique item id

[foggy marlin]

What is the way to solve the problem?

[torpid badge]

change the id of your item to [magazine_9x19_cnt_40] instead of [magazine_9x19_cnt_30]

Also you will need to create a new model for this 40 round mag if you are not just going to use the 30 round mag model since dynamics\weapons\magazines\mag_40_900x19_hud.ogf will not exist

[foggy marlin]

And if you use a model from 30?

[torpid badge]

then it will be graphically identical to the 30 round version but you wont have to create your own.

[foggy marlin]

This is good

[potent delta]

Ayo actual anthro stalkers? Let's go.

[unreal leaf]

Yeah.. just need to.. learn how to model characters again, and figure out how to add tails to the models

[potent delta]

I tried to edit a prefab last night for over an hour and I got exactly nowhere and gave up.

[unreal leaf]

A prefab?

[potent delta]

Yeah, just a simple low-poly model I found for free since I figured it'd be easier adding stuff to an already human-shaped model and push-pulling proportions but turns out I'm too dumb to even do that.

[unreal leaf]

3D modeling isnt easy

[potent delta]

Nope. Doesn't help I have very little experience with Blender and getting tools to do what I want them to is like pulling teeth.

[unreal leaf]

sounds like yyou need to do the donut tutorial

[potent delta]

I saw a trick with making a bounding box on the model with cuts for anchor points that you pull on and it pulls the model with it that could potentially do a lot of what I wanted, but I never figured out how to actually make it and make it work.

[unreal leaf]

id say learn how to do it properlyy first before trying to use tricks or shortcuts

yyou need to understand the workflow

If you have experience with 2D art I would just learn sculpting since its a lot less technical

[potent delta]

I have nerve damage in my arms so I don't have a steady hand.

'drawing' is out of the question.

[unreal leaf]

like damage to the point where you cant hold a spoon without spilling it?

[potent delta]

I can still hold things, but for example, writing with a pen for more than 2 minutes is like stabbing myself in the forearm.

[unreal leaf]

I see

well poly modeling is what I do

but any modeling techique requires lot lot of clicking and pressing buttons so it might get painful quick

[potent delta]

Yeah, I definitely take a lot of breaks doing things as is. Gaming, or fucking with outfitstudio when editing outfits for FNV/Skyrim, etc.

I'd love to sit in a call with someone who actually knows what they're doing and be shown how to do things manually. That's the easiest way for me to learn.

[unreal leaf]

Modeling timelapses are a good way of learning

[foggy marlin]

Tell me what exactly to change?

I will use the model from 30

[glad mirage]

hmm now should be fine

another question would be

how tf do you even get the magazine in the first place

as its a new item.. so it prob would need some spawn conditions

[torpid badge]

might not still be fine, changed more cnt_30 stuff to cnt_40 i dont know if you now need to write a new description for the ui, it might crash looking for cnt_40_descr.

I wouldn't know I haven't added a new magazine, they did change the item id though. Would need to add the new item to loadouts

[potent delta]

The cnt_30 I see there are all based on where the game should pull models/icons from, which is fine.

[potent delta]

As long as they have a proper entry for english translation that calls to cnt_40_descr it won't break.

[torpid badge]

what about those?

[glad mirage]

i mean i messed with mag redux before and it prob just need different id

2 of the same id would cause an instant crash

[potent delta]

Oh, good catch. I'm still half asleep so I kinda glazed over I guess. Yeah you want anything model/icon/hud related to still call to 30 unless you are making custom stuff for those as well.

The only thing you want to change is the item name, the amount in the magazine, and the inv name/description (with an appropriate translation file)

[glad mirage]

inv name and description shouldnt cause crashes

[potent delta]

And of course make sure it's pointed to in the gun's file for magzines it can use.

[glad mirage]

well i guess you will get misleading tooltips as a side effect

so he will need to make new xml files for the new mgazines

i dont recommend editing the current xml file you have rn

if you are making a new magazine

[potent delta]

That's what the one being edited is for, just a copy paste of an existing one with a new name which will do fine.

So long as the stuff I mentioned is changed.

[glad mirage]

i mean editing exsiting xml file is fine-ish

its just conflicts and stuff

though if hes making an entirely new magazine

i think he might need a way to... actually get them

[potent delta]

You just add lines to the magazine file's existing translation file to include the new listed magazine, and be sure it's included in the gun's list of magazines as well. (I created a 40 round extended mag for my rechambered UMP mod)

[summer girder]

Small note:
He doesn't have the ogf

[potent delta]

As for 'getting them', they'll have a chance to be naturally included with the gun any time it spawns as long as it's in the gun's magazines list.

Though you will need to do more shenanigans if you wanna add them to trader stock without fucking with GAMMA trader stocks.

[glad mirage]

well i mostly used the retool function when i messed with mag redux

worked out pretty well

[potent delta]

Never bothered with retool but it likely could work out of the gate with the way it's coded.

Though I don't think you can retool into an extended mag.

[glad mirage]

gladly the mag i did wasnt extended mags

[torpid badge]

yeah thats what I was trying to tell them they would need to pull everything from 30 round mag or need to make icon and model, etc

[potent delta]

Like, it has to be extended already? Not sure if you have to manually add magazines it can turn into in the mag's file either.

[glad mirage]

well i just took some inspiration (definetly didnt straight up steal it) from athis pack

and allow regular belt box to be retooled to overfilled belt boxes

[potent delta]

I shook Burn and Juan down for info on how to do it, and athi did a lot of work steering me in the right direction as well.

[glad mirage]

i mean technically were extended magazines

but the way they were extended made retooling a much more sensible option

[summer girder]

#🚽сральня🚽 got him covered
Not a lick of English

[worn fiber]

Which ltx files control NPC weapon loadouts in GAMMA?

[worn fiber]

Thank you. I forgot where it was.

[misty mulch]

[dull crest]

Where can I find the files on food values? I can find drinks but food is a lot more obscure it would seem

[ruby dust]

i wanna change ammo craft cost, but i don't understand how this is formatted

[random fulcrum]

first slot not sure
second slot is the recipe needed
third is a crafting material
fourth is how many stacks of that material
5-8 are the same as 3 and 4

[potent delta]

First slot is how many you make per craft, iirc.

[ruby dust]

so in this case 5?

[potent delta]

Though GAMMA multiplies the entire thing by 3. You make 15 bullets at a time, and it takes 3x the amount listed of resources.

[ruby dust]

ah okay

[ruby dust]

also what do you mean by stack?

[potent delta]

Could be wrong about the exact number, I don't regularly craft 9x18.

[random fulcrum]

nah

because you get one stack of 9x18 for example

which is 15 bullets

[potent delta]

A 'stack' being how many make up a single 'item'. If you click on your stack of powder in your inventoy, you can see in the middle bottom how many you actually have. GAMMA just uses a script that fuses all charges into a single display number.

[ruby dust]

so a stack is 5, but then gamma multiplies it?

[random fulcrum]

no

see the ammo's box_size field

it's 15

that's a stack

same for the crafting material as they also inherit from ammo

but some are box_size 10

[ruby dust]

i dont get it, but alright

all i needed to know was what was what

[random fulcrum]

open weapon_ammo.ltx

and i'm explaining that

bruh

i explained just that

[ruby dust]

yes i know

[misty mulch]

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message check my annotated ammo/any crafting example

you're reading from Ammo Maker's example, as well

[potent delta]

Well yeah, one stack = 15 bullets, but why does the recipe say 5? That's what we're confused on.

You don't get 75 bullets when crafting one time.

[random fulcrum]

check the workshop_autoinject script?

[ruby dust]

seems easy enough to understand, besides the output part that seb pointed out

[random fulcrum]

it gives a stack

[potent delta]

Ehh, I try to not fuck with script files when I can. Maybe the 5 is just a number the script calls to in order to get how many bullets is in a stack.

Since some ammo has 10, some have 12, some have 13.

[ruby dust]

you say a stack is 15, but this says output amount is 5. why

[random fulcrum]

jesus fucking christ just brown this guy already

this could have been avoided

[ruby dust]

brown?

[random fulcrum]

imagine

gets told to check the scripot

i'd rather not fuck with scripts

[misty mulch]

all ammo types have a box_size defined in the ammo.ltx, as momo is trying to explain. this tells the game how many bullets are in one "stack" of the item.

when you craft items, you always craft stacks of them, for ammo it's box_size and for other items it's the # of uses. so when the recipe says you make 5 of the ammo, you actually make 5 * box_size bullets total.

[random fulcrum]

what are you even gonna break by READING

[potent delta]

I'm just explaining why I don't already have the information. I didn't say I wasn't going to check it to confirm.

[misty mulch]

let me go check my numbers but that's the idea, sry

the crafting output number is not JUST the total # of bullets or # of uses afaik

(will edit msg above)

oh right

duh

first number isn't output related i think?

[misty mulch]

this number has Fuck All Nothing to do with how much output you get

[potent delta]

Oh man. Vestigial leftovers from previous scripting that borks the process if you remove it?

[random fulcrum]

nah

first number is the toolkit

[potent delta]

Man, I definitely haven't seen that before.

[random fulcrum]

i just checked workshop_autoinject.script

it's the toolkit needed

[misty mulch]

ah that makes sense

cos the second item is the recipe you need

1 = basic, 2 = adv, 3 = expert, 4 = medi, 5 = ammo

[ruby dust]

ahh that makes a lot more sense

[misty mulch]

let me fix my example reaaal fast

[potent delta]

Having that put out in plain terms and easily accessible without needing to file dive will definitely make creating mods easier for other folks in the future.

hey guys does anyone know how i can duplicate the wpn_mag bone to make a "dual" reload animation so that it doesn't affect the weapon position? something similar to the sig_550_siber animation. i can't figure it out

this is what i mean by dual animation (having both mags during the mag swap)

[lyric drift]

anyone know a mod that gives companions animations like normal ai, like playing guitar at campfire that sort of stuff

[slow bolt]

release the companions and they will have it

[old berry]

the way i did was to just disconnect the second mag from the wpn_body in the armature and use child of constraint instead on it

idk if it has to be connected to it in the armature tho

[floral rune]

where can i find names of various squads, is there a list somewhere?

[lilac idol]

yeah I figured it out already, thank you👍

[high radish]

why sometime add repair_type, eg ![wpn_rpg7] repair_type = rifle_7 not working?

[slow bolt]

its overriden down the line with other dltx edit

[high radish]

oh thanks, and thus why?
#╟🔰☢newbies-chat message

[slow bolt]

files are loaded alphabetically

so adding more Zs give it higher priority

[lilac idol]

nevermind i fucked it up lol

i don't understand how i can add another magazine to the model properly📞

[lilac idol]

how do you do it to get a second mag out of an ogf with just 1 mag without misaligning the bones or affecting the weapon's position when moved??

[old berry]

you mean to de parent the mag bone right?

[lilac idol]

yeah

[old berry]

you gotta select the mag bone first and wpn_body last then go to armature and select parent and there should be a prompt to de-parent them if i remember right

or was it the other way idk

[lilac idol]

and after that i can just rmb and duplicate it?

is that how it should look?

[old berry]

you know how to setup vortex groups?

leave the first mag alone and then duplicate it and rename the bones and the vortex group

then do the steps above for the second mag

[lilac idol]

i tried that before asking here but i couldn't get it to work

[old berry]

how about this i will call you and you can screenshare it and i will tell you how to do that

[lilac idol]

if its not a big deal for you

[old berry]

nah

[regal bolt]

Managed to work this out by using Nvidia's tool instead of the other one and changing the export type. Came out not so horrible

[potent delta]

I still need to figure out how to put a LAM on my UMP that I made.

I also wanna figure out properly how to make like, every LAM a lot more... Saturated. Make them stand out more. Maybe change them from red as well. I'm pretty sure most of them call to the same file, shouldn't be too hard.

I also tried to make a caliber change for a Vector but it just didn't show up in-game at all, despite copying exactly what I did with my UMP and G17.

[regal bolt]

That's what made me do this, the red was too difficult for me to see so I hear you 100%.

[main jetty]

Maybe a weird request, but im using the SOTA ui, and was thinking if there was a way to make the pause menu transparent, without the background image. Something like in metro exodus for example. I have managed to locate the background file for the menu, but is there even a way to differentiate between main menu and pause menu? Cuz I can make the transparent texture no problem, but I got no idea how to go about implementing it.

[slow bolt]

dont think so

[potent delta]

You MIGHT be able to make a script that takes a screenshot when you press escape and applies that screenshot as the background file for the menu?

That's the closest I think you'd get.

Don't ask me how you'd even begin to code that, though.

[main jetty]

ohh, so that's the problem, i thought that the pause menu is just an overlay over the game. That way if i just swapped the background it would work. guess not XD

[potent delta]

I mean, the idea I gave could potentially work as a speudo-transparency effect since it'll just make the background what your game is actually showing. Just won't be animated.

[hardy hound]

you can make the main menu .dds be transparent

heres some scuffed hl2 menu attempt i made some years back

[pulsar flame]

Hey guys, quick question

what's the syntax for the death_generic file?

[simple scaffold]

depends on which section.

item_count is min,max

[pulsar flame]

Sry forgot to mention, but ye, I was talking about item_count

thx

So I'm guessing dynamic_item_spawn is just for stashes and containers, but death_generic is for stalker corpses?

[simple scaffold]

no. dynamic items is for "world items" the stuff you find just sitting out in the open. treasure_manager is stashes.

and for stalker loot as long as you are including the two other death ltx files that get imported in to death_generic as being part of it then yes, mostly.

there is also gamedata/configs/plugins/guaranteed_drops.ltx and the NPCs charecter profile although death_manger can remove things that are part of the NPCs profile so inserting things there doesn't garuntee it will be on thier corpse.

some tasks will add items after deathmanger runs.

[main jetty]

yeah thats exactly what im looking for

[misty mulch]

when in doubt, check the original Anomaly version of the file and see if it has comments

although huh in this case, no comments, rip, would have to read the script that uses the ini

[hardy hound]

yeah I had the idea to make menu like HL2, based on last save location, to play a dynamic background dds or video of the zone

[main jetty]

I managed to do what you have, now I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to have a video in main menu, while having transparent pause menu

[hardy hound]

mmm, i don't undestand what you mean transparent vidoe

[main jetty]

no not trasparent video, I mean that when you are in the main menu(no game loaded), you have a video background. But if you have a game loaded, the menu is transparent

[hardy hound]

#1065428493803978842

theres a script which makes it random to load any defined .dds menu backgrounnd

i don't remember if it worked for videos too

but you could try editing it to detect main boot and while in game make it play the transparent menu maybe

[lilac idol]

so regarding animations, again, what's the difference between "wpn_hands_action" and "wpn_action"? like if i want to animate a certain part of the gun by moving it with the hands should it be a "wpn_hands_action" or not? for reference i want to do a draw animation using the collapsible stock as seen in the photo

[celest forge]

I mean it's kinda self explanatory, the hands are just the arms and the wpn is the gun

If you want to animate a part of the gun by moving it with the hands you have to animate the part and the arms and export both of those movements

[lilac idol]

yeah but for example if i'm pulling out a mag and the mag is now in the hands, would that be considered the weapon too?

[lilac idol]

yeah i understand that

[celest forge]

You have to animate both ig

If you have the left hand parented to the magazine, and you move the magazine, and the hand moves with it

that will export when you export the hands anims

[lilac idol]

mmh i see, thank you

[regal vigil]

How can I limit the secondary weapon slot to one-handed weapons only?

[surreal gust]

Does anyone know how to properly add a new element (like button) to existing pda tabs, like "Area map" tab? As I understood, there are two ways: completely replace pda_tasks_16.xml file, or insert element into pda_tasks_16.xml using DXML. I tried both options, but it simply nothing happens on inserting new element, but changing anything works fine.

[simple scaffold]

Wrong xml. You want pda.xml and/or pda_16.xml

Follow the instructions in pda.script

Editing this with dxml sucks because you have to resize all the button to fit your new one in.

Dollars to donuts any other mod adding a other button will mess yours up.

Hmmm, might be possible to generalize this process in dxml.

[crimson goblet]

I'm discussing man... sorry if it's not the greatest... but I'm learning

[open oasis]

are you asking how to add a custom device with a Zune model Western-Goods style?

[crimson goblet]

Yeah, basically how you can "play" instruments... in this case it's a separate mp3 that you can put in a hot bar .... it's basically because when you pull out the pda you have to continue to go between the items such as map and the radio which is a lil annoying... but understandable in this case you can still just pop the pda and look at the map then have a separate for music

I know it seems a little redundant, but I feel as if some people might want it... especially with how I want to make it so you don't have to start it back up between zones as well

[dull crest]

I’m currently working on several repackaged and merged mods with snippets of code and scripts from a myriad of mods (sometimes tweaked by me, other times just vanilla). Aside from asking permission from the original author and giving credit, is there anything else I should do in terms of morality?

[slow bolt]

Different mods have different licences

Some mods might not allow you to modify the code

some might not care

And if you are reuploading the mods with your changes - it wont be good no matter how it is

What you should do is make the changes to the mods as separate mod(s)

then there is no problem

[rancid oar]

may i ask how you managed to get the background transparency working? i'd also quite like to have a transparent pause menu haha

i made a transparent 1920x1080 texture with a black fill at 50% opacity but that just gives me a black background

[main jetty]

You will have black background in the main menu, but when you load a save you will have transparent background

I just replaced the .dds in textures/ui/

[rancid oar]

ohh i see, so it just applies to the load/save menu then?

bummer haha because the pause menu just being a background has been bothering me as well

[regal bolt]

Does anyone know what the file with quest rewards is?

Hey, does anyone know if and how I could create alt zooms for guns that don’t originally have them?

You can. It's after midnight so I am not going to get into the details.

Find a gun that has alt zoom and one that doesn't and compare their items sections

Pretty sure it is a bunch of likes like zoom_alt rot_something_alt and so on. To tired to check exact name's

where was the guide for making new mags in mags redux?

[wary kiln]

i was told to look into op2 files for models for an m72 law which im gonna try to somehow or other port to anomaly, anybody have a link to an unpacker or something?

[simple scaffold]

In the mags redux zip file. Or on my GitHub. Called integration guide because arti is very good at names 😉

[ruby dust]

thank you!

[edgy salmon]

Is it possible to have the ammo check anim lock you in it until it’s finished or is that a recipe for busy hands?

In the same vein, is it possible to prevent the actor from sprinting when eating/smoking/using meds?

[simple scaffold]

Probably. I don't know what would be the best way.

Ask @river fjord

[ruby dust]

btw sorry for ping but where is your github

nvm i found the guide.

so if i want to add my own mags, do i just write them down in the mod itself or make a separate one?

[simple scaffold]

all mags redux ltx files are arbitrarily expandable by putting a new file in the folder with the existing ltx files that starts with the same prefix.

[ruby dust]

what?

what's the prefix

just base_?

[simple scaffold]

mags redux ltx files work like the anomaly weapons ltx 's they get loaded from a file if the file name starts with the right thing.

https://github.com/RAX-Anomaly/MagsRedux/tree/main/gamedata/configs/items/weapons/magazines2

here eould be mag_something.ltx

[ruby dust]

so base_whatever is fine in here?

[simple scaffold]

yes. basetypes ltx use base_ as the prefix.

weapon and outfit configs use w and o respectivly

all in thier own folders

[ruby dust]

very wellm thank you for clarifying

[simple scaffold]

it was designed to allow support for new guns and magazines without dltx. it was actually designed before dltx was a thing.

[ruby dust]

btw, what should i do if said gun has multiple calibers?

like through upgrades

should i write them both seperately?

[simple scaffold]

yep. same rules. first ammo in the ammo list is the key.

https://github.com/RAX-Anomaly/MagsRedux/blob/main/gamedata/configs/magazines/weapons/w_ak101.ltx

extras (and typos) are ignored. with no message. the lines only get read when a gun with a given ammo list is being manipulated.

[ruby dust]

I see, ill try it rn

sorry in advance because i have probably understood wrong, but would this be correct? (this is the base type)

[simple scaffold]

ahh. sorry. we did missunderstand eachother.

a base type can only have one caliber.

[ruby dust]

oh?

then how would that work?

[simple scaffold]

a base type has one caliber. and a mag only has one base type meaning a mag can only have one caliber.

a weapon entry can have multiple base types to support upgrades. the upgrade efectivly changes the guns basetype.

think of basetype as a compatibility standard, describing the shape of the mag to ensure that only guns that can fire the rounds that magazine is designed for can insert it.

the nato STANAG magazine is an example of this (and is literally a base_type in mags redux althou i don't use that name since i had a naming convention i wanted to stick to)

[ruby dust]

i see, so i should define two base types?

each for one caliber?

[simple scaffold]

If you are making a new gun and want to use existing magazines you give your gun the base_type of those magazines and get to skip making new mags for your new gun.

similarly if you want to make a new magazine for existing guns you give the magazine the base type of the gun (or copy it from the existing mags for that gun)

the only time you need to make a new base type is if you are adding a new gun and you want it to use it's own magazines. either because it uses a different ammo from other guns. (like you add a g11) or it can't use the same magazines even if it uss the same bullets, most pistols are like this.

[ruby dust]

well, the mosin doesn't have a stripper clip. so that's ill wanted to add. does that mean i don't need to make a new base type?

im a bit confused on what i should do now

[simple scaffold]

simplest way to add magazines to the mosin would be to make a weapon entry for it and give it the same base types as the svt

[ruby dust]

what base type is the svt?

found it

[simple scaffold]

[wpn_mosin]
default_mag = mag_svt_7.62x54_default
;base_type
ammo_7.62x54_7h1 = svt_7.62x54
ammo_7.62x39_fmj = svt_7.62x39

in a file w_mosin.ltx in the gamedata/configs/magazines/weapons/ folder.

[simple scaffold]

maybe you want this: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/mosin-and-sks-stripper-clips

[ruby dust]

oh my god

ohhh i see now

why you didn't include it in the main mod

[simple scaffold]

I didn't make mags redux support for stripper clips be cause they would need new logic to work properly. in this addon they work just like magazines, the scripper clip ends up being in the gun, you take the empty stripper clip out and put a full one in when you reload.

[ruby dust]

yeah that doesn't quite logically work

[simple scaffold]

i'd have to add a bunch of custom logic. and even then there is no animation for loading a half full stripper clip. this would look more wrong than the ocasional wrong colured mag. (similar reason is why i didn't include drum mags for guns that don't have them in the base game)

[ruby dust]

yeah, thats fair

i don't understand how your mod functions, nor am i a coder. but i do have a very stupid idea

the mag redux already has one in chamber option, can't we use that to load all rounds into the "chamber" and return an empty clip?

it might no even be possible, but it was just an idea

[simple scaffold]

We don't play an animation for that since there isn't one, but since it is something you can only do from in the inventory it isn't obvious. But for full reload you would want one.

if i was going to add stripper clip support it would be a flag on the magazine that tells me not to delete the mag when you load a gun and not to spawn one when you unload the gun.

also would need to do logic so that if you have a gun with 2 rounds in it 2 rounds stay on the clip after you reload. except if from the ammo wheel, that would need to take all the rounds from the gun and put them in your inventory before loading the new stripper clip.

also there would need to be logic to prevent "extended mags" resulting in a gun holding extra ammo, and extended stripper clip would just be something you could use more than once to reload the gun with out having to refill it.

of course no one actually refills stripper clips very often. the ammo for guns with internal magazines come out of the box on a stripper clip. so now i need to track the difference between loose ammo you pulled out of a gun or some stalker pocket and new ammo out of a box which would basically convert into X stripper clips. this also mean you end up with dozens of stripper clips. so i would need to block selling them at all and add a way to turn batches of them (5? 10?) into a single scrap metal as a way of getting rid of them.

basically doubling the code to support something like 2 or three guns.

[ruby dust]

I see. yeah that is a lot of work.

well I understand why you didn't add them

[simple scaffold]

I have a standard of quality. I don't care if someone else adds dum mags to guns with stick mag reload animations. or wants to play with not quite right stripper mags they can. but if i'm going to implement it i'm going to do it right. hence the rant about not having three hands in the mcm settings. since there is no combat relaod animaiton you have to do someting with the mag from the gun before grabbing a new one from the vest.

[ruby dust]

honestly, based

[lyric drift]

is there a way i can manually adjust ai speed i hate how accurate they are but strafe so fast

[potent delta]

Nope. Your best bet is to just engage them before they aggro.

If you use a silenced weapon, and attack them from more than ~20m, they usually just wander around with no clue what's going on.

[warm sentinel]

So regarding the progression presets, when you start a game, is there a way to manipulate the variable for "minimum condition to sell"? I can't find it in the file that has all the other variables, unless I'm blind.

[obsidian nimbus]

where should i start if i want to learn about modding stalker ?

[slow bolt]

Pins in this channel

[obsidian nimbus]

thanks !

[plucky cosmos]

It would be hard to make a mod that allows you to cancel any mission? even from main characters and traders. Something that keeps the ''about the mission'' dialog option for being able to cancel it and ''the job is done'' simultaneously. Some people dislike the idea of getting paid for a quest because a stalker in the other side of the map killed the dog for you. I think it may be easier making something just to keep the dialog option instead of making an entire system for failing missions if someone else killed it for you.

[simple scaffold]

The failure thing already exists.

Personally I would just make a custom UI that lets you cancel tasks. The dialogue thing it probably actually the hardest. I hate dialogue

[spiral stone]

Is there a script/config/whatever that determines what foot step sounds a mutant uses (not referring to the "material= creatures\medium" that some mutants have in the mutant ltx files). I want some mutants to use new/different footstep sounds, like for example, generic zombies, chimeras, and dogs having different foot step sounds.

[spiral stone]

how do i properly view "gamemtl.xr"?

Do you remember the mod?

This might be relevant #1241242453386723368 message

so im sort of curious about trying to make a mod that lets your inventory stay open while you eat/drink/take meds, etc... like tarkov basically, would be nice when you are in a sitatuion where you need to apply different meds, or eat/drink more than once to fill your bars, my question is basically, does anyone know if this is possible, or is something that would either be incredibly difficult to make or straight up impossible due to engine limitations, etc

(or lmk if a mod like this already exists, if there is one I havent found it)

[sacred token]

Try commenting out the hide_hud_inventory() line in the use_item function of the enhanced_animations.script file

[spiral stone]

Im looking more for a way to create "presets". Like for example in the dog ltx file there is a line like "material = creature/medium" which i think determines what sound of foot steps it will use. I want to make my own that will make mutants like dogs and chimeras have different footstep sounds instead of sharing the same preset, if that makes sense. I think gamemtl.xr might be where i need to look i just need to understand it.

Might need to dltx like momopate mentioned

[simple scaffold]

Nope or I would have said. Might be part of the DLTX mini mod pack, but I really don't know

[prime pecan]

Hi everyone, what you could say abt this mod? Worth to use or it can break ur game pretty well https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/151-banjajis-task-givers-demise

Checked this and it works only when u use non dltx version 🤷‍♂️, but i saw that somebody saying here after mid playtroug it can start crashing

[edgy salmon]

Sorry if it wasn’t helpful — I can’t access my PC for a while so going by memory. Perhaps take a look at Footsies and Tolerable Mutants also. One of these three mods gives different mutants different footstep sounds iirc, though no guarantee they add their own presets. Cool idea btw! Hopefully you can find what you need

[spiral stone]

Just for clarification, i can dltx gamemtl.xr right?

Ive never done dltx before

it's not an ltx file so i'm gonna go with "no"

[random fulcrum]

technically dltx

look in the modded exes github repo for more info

i don't remember off the top of my head

[spiral stone]

Okay i will have a look, would I have to repack it into an xr file once im done modifying it? Or is there a way for it to work unpacked as its own addon?

[random fulcrum]

loading as its own addon is what you're trying to achieve with this

[spiral stone]

Correct

[obsidian void]

I couldn't find any way to add new footstep material types when I made the Improved Mutant Footsteps mod. I tried and it just crashed the game. I also tried searching the game scripts for references to the footstep materials and nothing, so they must be defined somewhere within the engine

What's inside that gamemtl.xr file?

[spiral stone]

I see references in gamemtl.xr if you open the file you see file paths i think

The issues is the xr file has to be unpacked, momopate posted an umpacked version and you can see them there

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

[obsidian void]

Is that a PEARL file? Holy shit

[spiral stone]

The thing is i want to make it PROPERLY possibly with dltx so that it doesn't confilt with other addons that use that specific xr file

[random fulcrum]

loose files are always loaded after packed files

just change exactly the stuff you want to change and nothing else

as far as i know nobody has used this tech to this day despite how hilariously powerful it is

but it also took a long ass while for people to start using dxml en masse

[obsidian void]

Ah! Small, medium, large, hoof, those are all named after the footstep material types

[spiral stone]

Yeah

[obsidian void]

Looks like you can probably just create new .ltx files to define the custom material type

[spiral stone]

I will have to try that when i get home then. This is all new stuff for me

[obsidian void]

Okay so looks like the material_pairs files sort of link the specific sound files to the material type

I'm not sure how these ID's and parent ID's are supposed to be configured though

This is great because I really wanted to add new footstep sounds

[spiral stone]

So would the loose files just be put inside of the gamedata folder or outside of it? Im at work rn i cant remember where it was atm

[spiral stone]

Yeah i dont like that humanoid and canine ish mutants share footsteps so i was brainstorming how to do it

[obsidian void]

They don't normally

Oh

You mean like bloodsuckers

And zombies

[spiral stone]

Yeah

[obsidian void]

If you use my footsies + improved mutant footsteps, humanoid mutants use the human footsteps. It's not perfect but it's better. If we can figure out custom footstep types tht would be better though

[spiral stone]

Burer i think wear shoes so they can just use stalker footsteps just fine

[obsidian void]

I think I changed burers to use the large footstep sounds which I like a bit more

[spiral stone]

Yeah i sae that in the addon but there is more i want to do too, like give chimeras different heavier footsteps aswell. Not the ones like the pseudogiant

[obsidian void]

Yeah I did that lol

I used the "hoof" type steps for them, with a higher gain

I also adjusted their configs to avoid the helicopter type sound they can create when using footsies

[spiral stone]

I was thinking something a bit bassy if i coukd find something like it in sound libraries or maybe just make it myself?

[obsidian void]

Feel free to go for it. Have you used the improved mutant steps mod already?

[spiral stone]

I have yes, i just wanna go a few steps farther

[obsidian void]

I'm down to build on to it especially if we can figure out custom footstep types

[spiral stone]

And learn some more about stalking modding while im at it

But all the sound stuff comes after working with gamemtl.xr, thats my first hurdle

[obsidian void]

Yeah it's also annoying that creature steps only have 1 material type whereas human steps have sounds for all different types of ground material. It would be nice to expand the mutant step sounds to have variants for walking on wood, grass, dirt, ect

That was something I wanted to add but I couldn't find these configs for some reason

[spiral stone]

Yeah i had to look around and found references of mutant sounds and gamemtl.xr. eventually i figured they were linked in some way.

It might still be possible to do more than one type, i just have to dig in the files and understand what makes them different

It might just be that mutants have the same step sounds assigned to all terrains while stalkers and different sounds for different terrains

And it would be as easy as modifying a line or two

Hi all. Is it possible to summon an NPC using a console command with a specific weapon? We need to test the update.

[slow bolt]

Create a new NPC and give him only one weapon choice in config

then summon that npc

[random fulcrum]

make your weapon have crazy high base cost and drop it in front of the guy

[slow bolt]

oh yeah, that

[simple scaffold]

use my companion inventory unlock mod with full acess enabled in the the MCM. spawn the NPC force them to companion, open up thier inventory clear out thier weapons and give them yours. un companion them if necessary.

Hello i am not a gamma user since i don't have enough disk space but i come in with a question. Is GAMMA zcp and Warfare patch (downloaded from github) ok to use on another Anomaly modpack for playing warfare ?

[slow bolt]

obv not

[raven pawn]

why

[slow bolt]

use actual warfare patches made for anomaly

[slow bolt]

because they are for gamma

[raven pawn]

i tried to find any but to no luck, i only read somewhere that gamma has something like this, zcp + warfare. Well then there i go searching again or make myself one

[slow bolt]

Vintar has warfare thing. Its all on moddb

Gamma doesnt even really support Warfare

[raven pawn]

i see, so i should just test zcp 1.5 with alife overhaul. EDIT : there are many differencies in script code, it's insane to me (no code knowledge whatsoever).

I want to assign mod_parts and repair kits to the helmets in my equipment mod.

Is this the right channel to talk on?

hey, where can I find the CreateTimeEvent() function? want to see how it works exactly

[slow bolt]

danger function

[spiral stone]

is there a tool/exe that will allow me to work with gamemtl.xr?

[slow bolt]

SDK

[spiral stone]

i downloaded the sdk from the modding book but i dont see anything executable

[normal urchin]

hmm, is there a way to prevent certain actions for a time, such as (un)equipping helmets/armor? from what I understand so far, the main way to prevent this is to just keep the inventory closed

[spiral stone]

you can look at the function in _g.script and here is an example for a script i made for stalker AREA where after 8 seconds in game time will go forward a bit

[spiral stone]

also look at this https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/scripting/time_events.html

[normal urchin]

ahh this is super useful, thank you!

[austere bear]
