GBO top mod

[random fulcrum]

but gbo doesn't do it

it's the actor damage balancer

and the actor damage balancer is one of gamma's unironical greatest highlights

[slow bolt]

ngl i consider ADB a part of GBO package

[random fulcrum]

nah they couldn't be more distinct

[boreal mural]

Ight i got a new thing annoying me rn but id rather ask if its been done already

Is there a mod that makes stealth kills not lower rep n goodwill

Along with that one that makes the AI not agro you from a ied

I lost a life in my run cuz i set up an idea proxy fuse for a target on top of the train hanger and when he blew up 2 mins later i got obliterated by the loners while I was shopping with butcher lol

[celest forge]

Anyone knows what are the xml sections for Eidolon and Chernobog in the spawn lists

[misty mulch]

run a find-in-file for eidolon in character_desc_*.xml?

idk cherno id tho

eidolon is easy

ah chern is kat_greh_sabaoth

[shell mortar]

Hello guys i need a favor to modify a mod already compiled idk how to make a mod i just ask for favor to edit this and increase the carry weight +50, +100, +200 instead of +10

[surreal gust]

burner analmaly test

[lilac idol]

i need some opinions on the b2i

[slow bolt]

Actually not bad

This is decent

[lilac idol]

but it feels a bit weird, and all my attempts to make it better have resulted in a worse b2i

[slow bolt]

Its fine

it feels just slightly weird

it looks normal

[lilac idol]

mmh you might be right tbh

ill just move on to the unjam animation ig

because the one i have rn is horrible lmao

[old berry]

feels kinda laggy and the first motion kinda looks like an ar mag dump other than that i have no problems with it

[lilac idol]

yeah idk why it lags like that

[old berry]

do you use graph editor?

[lilac idol]

maybe it-s the render idk, but the scene says it's running at 25fps

and i animated at 30 so idk

[lilac idol]

yeah

[old berry]

maybe its your render settings

[lilac idol]

these are the rotations i did

[lilac idol]

where can i tweak that?

[lilac idol]

what should i look for in there though

[old berry]

maybe framerate and video format idk

[lilac idol]

so it isn't normal that it runs at about 26 fps right? (top left of the right scene)

bruh what is that quality

[old berry]

oh you mean that, no that doesnt matter

just switch to solid material in the camera tab to get consistent 30 frames

[lilac idol]

then i guess it's the game bar recorder then

it might be fucking with the overall quality

[old berry]

wait you record the animation?

[lilac idol]

yeah

[old berry]

you can just render them bruh

[lilac idol]

i just edit to cut off the edges

[lilac idol]

lmao i did not know that

well actually, is this what you mean?

[old berry]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV6XP-EDzw8& skip to the render section if you want

[lilac idol]

[lilac idol]

@old berry hey whenever i try to send it somewhere it will just send a downloadable file, how can i make it so that it gets sent like this?

[old berry]

idk i dont have that issue

[slow bolt]

It needs to be .mp4 and like that

what video type are you rendering as

[lilac idol]

the file is a .mp4

[slow bolt]

well idk then

[compact cloud]

i have the weapon repsotion mod instlled but the glock 19 is broken and doesnt work is there a way to remove the repostion for this gun or is there a fix for it? it looks like this when i aim down sight the alt aiming postion is cpmletly off screen

[lilac idol]

i managed to fix it

but is it supposed to be so dark?

[old berry]

way better

[lilac idol]

yeah i guess that recording it like that was messing the quality

nah fuck it i'm just going to do a full provisional showcase of what i have for now

[wanton copper]

Is there a way/mod that makes people not recognize you while you are disguised, meaning that the game will not take into account goodwill values while you are disguised? For example, If I disguise myself as a bandit, but I have 2000 goodwill with scientists, they will not attack me, and they appear green on my crosshair. BUUUT, I can go kill them one by one and they just don't mind or care, which is stupid, and I want to fix that.

[shell mortar]

try post this in #╟🔰☢newbies-chat

they might help

[wanton copper]

they sent me here :))

lovely

[slow bolt]

asking for mod suggestions is #╟🔰☢newbies-chat or #╓☢stalker-chat

dont let them tell you any different

[lilac idol]

https://youtu.be/RXZm99rKdwY?si=uCBphIYvXKy5PToI quick showcase of what ive done already, please consider checking it out and providing some feedback

[naive plaza]

How would one go about adding a caliber change to a weapon? I know that there are "upgrade paths" that can be assigned to a weapon, but if i just want to add a single caliber upgrade option, how do I do that?

[grizzled light]

Check out my graph, XYZ rotation
(for the unjam though, but pretty similar to empty reload's)

[lilac idol]

is that with this thing enabled?? just for a proper comparison

[grizzled light]

yeah

[grizzled light]

why are some of them not at frame 0?

[lilac idol]

ermm

idk

ill check it later

[lilac idol]

i do my graph editor sessions with that thing off, so the comparison isn't really accurate

[grizzled light]

whaaaa

I thought no one uses the graph editor with normalize off

[lilac idol]

i find it confusing

[grizzled light]

I thought it's the opposite

i don't wanna work with something this steep

i can just scale them down, but i gotta readjust it for other transformations

[opal void]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/enhanced-shaders-and-color-grading-for-151

Hey mates, I wanted to try and configure this mod into my Stalker Anomaly. Thing is, I don't know where am I supposed to use the commands in the Enhanced Color Grading/Optional parts. Is there some debug menu to use these on or am I just clueless?

[compact cloud]

press this key ^

how can i remove a weapon from a repsotion mod because the glock 19 isnt probelry displayed?

[regal bolt]

Hi I have a issue with scopes in my playthrough. Some weapons have 1,0x magnification instead of 3.5x or 4.0x, for instance using ACOG 3.5 via triji kit on weapon called AMB-17 shows magnification of 1.0. I wish to repair it. Now, I was told that "it is matter of changing one value", so I wish to ask which value should I change - I found a file called AMB17.ltx and I guess it is something here. Could someone tell me if I am right, if so what should be changed here? Or maybe there is another way of dealing with this issue?

[random fulcrum]

brotherman that scope already has 25 zoom factor

it's already 4.2x at 80 fov

[fair canopy]

Scope zoom is a fucking mess

[random fulcrum]

not really

why do you think that

[fair canopy]

I'm talking in terms of what the zoom is actually set at

[random fulcrum]

it sets your fov to that value * 0.75

sure it could have been done better

maybe as a scale on the player's fov setting

but as it stands it works fine

[fair canopy]

Oh I mean just in terms of it can be set at whatever the modder wants. An acog can be 4x or 12x

[random fulcrum]

could just dltx and remove the line

it falls through and uses the one set in the actual scope's section

[fair canopy]

We've actually got a proper calculation script in 3dss that fixes the fov thing

[random fulcrum]

it's bad modding practices that got normalized

[celest forge]

ur are a bad modding practice

[regal bolt]

AMB-17 with triji kit (ACOG 3.5) (left) vs AKMS with 1P29 tulip (right image). Maybe it works correctly, but I do not understand something?

[undone ingot]

yo any idea where i fucked up

i was making some icons for myself as usual

in gimp

and i never had this problem

[regal bolt]

Check if ui in items section are bound to the correct file

[undone ingot]

how can i check that

[regal bolt]

In items .ltx file, there should be dedicated parameter which points to the grid, in which the icons are stored (.dds file)

[undone ingot]

alr

[undone ingot]

when i find it, do i open it in gimp?

im not sure how do i check that parameter

[regal bolt]

It should be in item definitons (file .ltx)

[random fulcrum]

the grid cell is 50x50 pixels

[regal bolt]

Update: I reinstalled the GAMMA and it works fine. Do not know what caused this bug, but now works fine

[random fulcrum]

bro preferred to reinstall the entire thing before learning how to do the simplest possible patch ever

[regal bolt]

Yep, the simplest well working solution is always the best one imho. I am not a modder, do not even pretend to be one, and probably never will. If reinstalling helped then it's great and I am happy I did it. I do not wish to engage in modding activities unless it is necessary. The only mistake I made is that I should reinstall then ask for help, not in reverse but well what i've written I had written

[undone ingot]

you

could u help me

i still have the problem bro

i have no idea what you guys are talking about

basically what i did

is

i reinstalled KVMAS

and it fixed the problem

but

when i edited it

and saved it

it got messed up the same way

as if the grid was displaced

is there a way to fix it

[random fulcrum]

and should i help you because?

[undone ingot]

because im asking nicely

[celest forge]

Anyone know how to export levels on blender? All the stuff I try just pushes error logs

[opal gulch]

Anyone make a mod that adds stuff to the secret abandoned lab in generators that seems to be unused in the game and gated off?

It has anomalies and a very few mutants and one stash but is otherwise empty

[surreal gust]

Found a hack through this retarded shit

Spent hours torturing myself but I found a workaround

I tested it and the linked waypoints work as they should

[grizzled light]

might as well drop something here

[shell mortar]

what code to detect and track mouse cursor?

[misty mulch]

map editing is supremely difficult

so, no

i mean i guess technically It Could Be You

[fair canopy]

I saw your Carmel gun got ported to spt

[bronze harness]

Yeah released a few days ago

[fair canopy]

looks really good. i havent had a chance to even touch the anomaly version

[simple scaffold]

local pos = GetCursorPosition()

[shell mortar]

local pos = GetCursorPosition()
pos.y pos.x ?

[simple scaffold]

Yes vector2

[short flicker]

Is there a way to change a weapon's caliber? I want to make one of the R700 variants .338 Federal.

[random fulcrum]

change its ammo_class

that's it

[short flicker]

IS that located in the .itx file?

[random fulcrum]

ye

[lethal garden]

So. Im using these 2 mods. Which both provide a MP9 model. One of which does accept many scopes while the other does. So, I'm trying to make one model accept and use the scopes that the other does.

So, I went into the LTX of the one that accepts the scopes that I wanted to add to the other. Now that I've took the entries from one LTX and added it into the other MP9's LTX, so that it will accept the same scopes and use the same model when equipped with said scopes.

But now that I've done so, the game crashes upon startup without a CTD error. Any advice?

[celest forge]

Why not just delete the files of the MP9 that doesn't take the scopes and use the one that does

[simple scaffold]

All scopes are part of the model. You have to start in blender

[lethal garden]

Now, Ive had positive results in the past doing this, adding the scope entries from another ltx into another LTX, without changing the mesh paths, and only renaming the HUD entries

For some reason now Im having trouble

[celest forge]

Did you check the log to see what it says

Sometimes there's no error message but there is something in the log

It's probably a DLTX override issue

[lethal garden]

Let me check.

FATAL ERROR

[error]Expression : <no expression>
[error]Function : CInifile::Load::<lambda_b21972fd654150f2564380962c2860ba>::()::<lambda_eda6dbb4f550d9cbcae19308e6dd43d8>::operator ()

Override section by prefixing it with '!' (![wpn_mp9_compm4s]) or give it a unique name.

Check this file and its DLTX mods:
"c:/anomaly-1.5.1.2/bin/..\gamedata\configs\system.ltx",
file with section "w_mp9.ltx",
file with duplicate "w_mp9n.ltx"

Jesus im such an idiot

Sorry guys, thank you, I can handle this!

[celest forge]

Yup

Classic DLTX override lol

Funny how now you can technically have 4 different MP9 mods if you know how to solve there kinds of errors

[simple scaffold]

Well I guess if you don't care if the model looks right it could work. A bunch of different scope properties but the gun looks the same.

Although you aren't giving a model an acog/kobra this way if it doesn't have one.

[celest forge]

My scope tutorial is not pinned yet

smh

[lethal garden]

Thank you!

[lethal garden]

Once again. Thank you.

I have the ultimate STALKER tourist experience. 750 mods.

[turbid lily]

Before i got a working version, i manually translated what ambient sounds that are present but others are machine translated. I have managed to catch more ways of detecting sound. It's not perfect but it's alot more often.

I'm running tests if you want to help with the latest version

not sure if you've figured this out yet but i have a func that can help

[thick loom]

Have someone here seen/experienced something like this? Its like a "ghost" weapon that follows the main HUD (i think its the .ogf file).
Related to the new SSS version (SSR module specifically)

ALthough, it doesnt happens with all weapons

[boreal mural]

its an add it yourself type thing

i visited it for the first time 2 weeks ago

[random fulcrum]

the warlab isn't unused

[boreal mural]

no

[random fulcrum]

there's a whole interior inside

[boreal mural]

the abandoned lab

not the war lab

on the west side of the generators

[random fulcrum]

but he said "gated off"

[boreal mural]

yeah it is

[random fulcrum]

the miracle machine clone isn't gated off

[boreal mural]

There is a fence that badly blocks the ladder

is what im guessing he meant

like it "gates" it off but you have a human sized gap in it

unless hes talking about the c-con room lol

in which case my point is invalid

anyway for the question I came here to ask, im currently trying to reverse engineer the new addons mod, does anyone know of a way i can replace npcs in a location using a task

i cant find an example of it in a mod but basically i want to add a quest line where the bandits in dark valley replace the loners at the skadavosk

so have cardan and nimble replaced with limpid, and have nimbles logic moved onto limpid, keep owl, replace beard with olivius

you know fun stuff like that

[slow bolt]

New levels maybe you mean?

[random fulcrum]

quest creation is voodoo practice currently

there are a few people that actually understand it

like, the entire process of it

i can think of xcvb and itheon

igigog

nobody else

nltp ashes, i forgot

(if he was the one that made the western goods quests)

[boreal mural]

iTheons new tasks addon

im using that mod to figure out how to add my own tasks

[random fulcrum]

could ask those people

[boreal mural]

im still pretty new to modding anomaly

[slow bolt]

ah. Clarified since what you said makes no sense

[boreal mural]

oh yeah lol i realized wait a min yeah

xD

[boreal mural]

fortunate sucks that not many people know how it works

[boreal mural]

people like that normally ok with dms you know?

[random fulcrum]

why would i even know

[boreal mural]

fair point

thanks for the names, helps out knowing who exactly to ask

Mainly my entire goal rn is to add main story questlines to all the "enemy" factions

itll probably take me forever since i just learned how dxml worked last week and my only real experience is in C# when it comes to any amount of programming

rip igigog quit modding in 2022

[near dirge]

Let me know once you figure this one out.. I so badly wanted to play as a Foundation member, you know, SCP?

There is a guy that added them as a faction.. NPCs can be added through debug (they also roam around randomly with a main base in Meadows for non Gamma players, Gamma touches spawns and such so they don't freely roam in Gamma).. They have 2 sets of armors, faction patches, a special medication, models, the works.. But, it's just a barebones faction.. They can't accept any main/side quests from any NPC.. Only tiny fetch tasks..

I tried duplicating Loner and just changing the lines from Loner to Foundation but I sat with crashes upon crashes.. I never bothered asking the quest makers because every modder I've tried talking to had this "I'm too busy for you" attitude.. Not all modders are like this, but the ones I've tried talking to are.. So I gave up on trying that.. What you want to do with "enemy" factions, I want to do with SCP.. The Foundation currently acts as an "enemy" faction.. They don't have any bad relations, but they have literally nothing to do.. The only MCM option for that mod is making them Monolith (unfriendly with everyone in existence)

[boreal mural]

For the most part what i want is a questline that gives the renegades a base, one that gives unsig a base, a way for sultan to take the skadavosk back, a main storyline for the mercs, and a storyline for monolith that i havnt figured out yet what ill do for that

in general thats one of those things i realized is a just learn to do it yourself kinda thing because its more work than its worth from what i understand lol

what im gonna try is basically copy what happens in the last dawn questline

in last dawn it spawns striders group and scar

since its already a base game thing that sorta does what i want im hoping i can figure that out

[near dirge]

Well good luck with that.. Maybe it's easier since the factions already exist.. I couldn't get it right to add story to a new faction.. But others might be doable

[boreal mural]

ye if i get it working with an existing faction ill send it on making that foundation one work

[near dirge]

Appreciate it..

The issue that I have is that I have no idea what I'm doing.. And I tried back in the day to go through many different guides and "handbooks" on modding.. But the questing part is a bit of a grey area.. And by duplicating Loner and changing the name, I think the game tried to add spawns and a number of texts and other things.. So things would overlap each other and it was just a complete mess..

When I did finally find what I thought was the questing part of the text files, everything loaded fine but nothing worked in the end.. Then I managed to add them manually through console but completing it won't give the next one.. It was just a total mess really.. The creators of New Levels, Western Goods, and Duty Expansion would be your best bet.. Especially Duty Expansion since a whole new base gets made in Red Forest for Duty..

So in terms of having a base for Mercs, one in Limansk would be possible using Duty Expansion's methods..

[shell mortar]

guys can you help me develop aim-assist with prediction system on moving target?

[shell mortar]

aim-assist triggered on aim

it worked but no prediction on moving target im trying to develop

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

[boreal mural]

good news for you

according to itheon

its doable

bad news

i am way in over my depth lol

[near dirge]

Yeah I knew it was doable in a sense but going to be a massive undertaking

[near dirge]

This is a snippet of what the New Levels mod creator told me a long time ago

[boreal mural]

part of the problem im having is that the tutorials i was provided I do not have the same directory

the tutorial says look for \gamedata\config\gameplay\dialogs_escape.xml

but this is how my directory looks lol

[near dirge]

Yup.. The tutorials are not the best and this was the first response I got.. The "I'm too busy for you" type of response.. So if you can't get it right via a modding manual, then good luck honestly..

You might be able to find dialogs_escape.xml if you unpack the entire Stalker database.. Unless you already did that

[boreal mural]

nope

i honestly should

[near dirge]

There are more than 50k entries for Loner alone.. And I can't just find/replace each entry because it has to do with crucial spawns and characters.. So you'll have to look at each entry and duplicate it when required.. This is just for creating a new faction with story quests btw..

To create your own unique story with a base location and dialogue seems easier because the factions already exist but also much harder since the rest doesn't exist.. Like spawn points and pathing..

You'll have to delete any spawns that GAMMA already places in your base.. For example: Duty Expansion adds a Duty base in Red Forest by the Limansk Bridge.. Every time you load into that map there's a HUGE firefight because the creator of Duty Expansion never deleted the random Monolith/Sin that can spawn there on loading in as well.. So it's a mess every time..

[boreal mural]

here im trying to find how to unpack the database

cuz frankly i wanna start with that

[near dirge]

It's here in the tools folder

Make a new copy of Anomaly just to be safe

Unless you're fine with potentially breaking stuff while modding

[boreal mural]

just unpacking it shouldnt break it no?

[near dirge]

Do the db_unpacker_all.bat to get literally every single file inside of Anomaly

No it won't

But you want to make changes and stuff

[boreal mural]

oh yeah

[near dirge]

So I would keep a backup just in case

[boreal mural]

ill make a backup ye

im doing unpack all rn

[near dirge]

This is the only info I got regarding removing spawns.. For if you find a base and need to remove spawns in that area.. That's literally all I have

[boreal mural]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/duty-expansion this one right

[near dirge]

The rest is a shot in the dark since not many people help others with these things specifically..

Yeah it's that one

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/western-goods
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/promzone-level

These two also add new custom stories if you want to look at these too.. The more examples the better..

[boreal mural]

we ball

[near dirge]

I'm actually busy with a custom quest in-game rn lol.. No idea how they did it though.. At one point I even wanted to contact base Anomaly devs to see how they added Sin and UNISG but contacting anyone higher up then a newbie is impossible.. Unless you work your way up socially or something..

[boreal mural]

the more shit i have to be able to reverse engineer the better

[near dirge]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/artefact-hunters-last-dawn-operation-monolith-storylines-40

Here's the mod for the 3 stories in GAMMA that you can also look at in-depth (no need to look for them in MO2)

https://www.moddb.com/members/doctorx01/addons

Can also find more here.. Apparently DoctorX passed away which is very unfortunate.. So you'll have to pick someone else's brain if they are willing

[boreal mural]

also

wait

like

i thought it wasnt possible to add new maps to anomaly

how tf did this dude add 3

[near dirge]

I have no idea xD

[boreal mural]

also wtf his the all.spawn file

and how do i open it

cuz id gues the spawns folder with the all.spawns is what has most of the configs related to spawning

opening it up in notepad its actually partially human readable with a bunch of whacky shit

[near dirge]

Yeah I'm lost with that too don't worry xD

I gave up on trying to figure anything out

[boreal mural]

eh wouldnt be the first time

[slow bolt]

very possible

[slow bolt]

its a compiled file

you have to decompile to open

its a very not good way of making maps connect with entities

[boreal mural]

splains it, ill probably figure it out after bashing my head against the wall for a while

[slow bolt]

editing all spawn means incompatibility with any other mod that edits it

[boreal mural]

ah shit i was not thinking of compatibility

[boreal mural]

im mainly looking at the new levels mod rn and im trying to figure out how he did it, know anyone else that added maps or is this it

[slow bolt]

Justsilverguy

Hs is like the only one making them

he knows all about it

lmao he changed his name:
mfb_real

[boreal mural]

I dont see him in the discord and looking up that name on moddb gets nothing

o lmao

ooo interesting hes using the cop level editor for it

[slow bolt]

the SDK

[boreal mural]

Ight thats pretty neat

Basically it looks like i need to learn C/C++

itll be useful to know it anyway

[surreal gust]

i had to add the real part because discord didn't let me change it just to mfb

[surreal gust]

You don't need to learn that for adding new maps or replacing existing ones

It's all just about knowing the SDK and custom logic (in .ltx)

It's possible to replace anomaly maps, those who say it isn't are talking out of their ass

And anomaly SDK doesn't exist

It's all bullshit

[surreal gust]

All.spawn file contains information (their spawn id's, position, rotation, and more) about the spawn elements (weapons, items, physics props, and more) in every single level

And graph points, as well.

Waypoints too, all of that shit

[boreal mural]

Baller ight, COP SDK yeah? I was looking at filex in the new maps 0.5.2 n the scripts were in C so i thought i needed it

[surreal gust]

Are you talking about the bin files?

They only contain discord rpc shit

And the game scripts are in Lua.

The engine is written in C++

[boreal mural]

Oh so the spawn file is basically a manifest

[boreal mural]

Ight makes sense basically the stuff that actually matters is lua

[surreal gust]

Yes

[boreal mural]

Here you good for me to dm you for a bit when i wake up im passin out

[surreal gust]

The only thing that xcvb edited there are level transitions

From other levels, not his

[surreal gust]

Not a problem.

I don't mind dms

[clever sun]

How to change walk (shift button) speed? I'm always changing crouch_coef in actor.ltx from 0.4 to 0.55 to be faster in crouching and walking. But in some case speed is changing only for crouch in this mod pack. pls help

[clever sun]

Maybe somebody know how to make different walk speed with weapon and without weapon? It will fit with bodycam mod because its cringy when actor with weapon walks like micael jackson

[fair canopy]

Deep cringe

[slow bolt]

Bcause of gotta go fast

it allows to configure speed

[wintry rampart]

Anyone tried using the 'Mugging Squads' addon ? --- https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/modded-exes-mugging-squads

I was wondering, are all dialogues initiated within a really close distance of the player ? I have noticed when talking to the bartender in Rostok or the scientist in the bunker, that you have to move completely towards the window/bar before the option to talk appears.

Is there a way this can be tweaked for the mugging squads who approach us ? Say around 15-20 metres ?

It would give the player a fighting chance and get rid of the one thing that I believe makes it extremely unfair.

Anyone ?

[remote venture]

I tried checking pins but was overwhelmed largely. If you wanted to add a new item, and animation into the game that you use. Like cigarettes for example. What are the programs you would need for that?

The confusion came for me when questions like….

Do your arms matter?
Where do you get the texture for said new item?
Do you need to be experienced with the x-ray engine or just the programs needed to do edits?

[slow bolt]

You'd need blender for starters

So you can animate it, or model it

To make a texture you can use Gimp, or Paint. Net for simpler edits

There is also a standard kit of "tools" i can link but you wont need it i think

Notepad++ to edit .ltx files. That is it

[remote venture]

Thanks, I’m actually going to commission it. But I needed to know what the creator would need to work with so I can include it in the job

[celest forge]

You have to do animations with vanilla arms because those are the better rigged ones

Although animation rigs come with those

Ideally you could get assets with all the textures and needed files

[remote venture]

Appreciate it but are those standard in the programs mentioned? Or do you need to download them? I’m trying to gather all the tools they would need before commissioning it

[celest forge]

If you are going to commission animations then that personally probably has a working rig

So you don't need to provide the arms, unless you want a new armor or suit

[remote venture]

Cool thanks. I’ll just mention what was told to me a few messages up and should be good to go then.

[celest forge]

What do you want to commission specifically if you don't mind me askin

[simple scaffold]

Like everything else: you can do it with a script.

There is even a library type script by artifaxs that makes it fairly simple to change player speed.

Well in gamma it might be easier to mess with gotta go fast directly.

Still script can detect when gun out and change speed.

Could even offer a lesser penalty for lowered rifles and hand guns.

[random fulcrum]

the outfit affects movespeed addon, included in gamma by default, already does this very thing

the variance in the speed modifier is super small

but it does just that

[simple scaffold]

Then dude needs to poke that then

Since I don't have it installed i forget what mods gamma has. And the list on the gethub isnt the easiest thing to read.

[remote venture]

I want to commission a zippo lighter animation for smoke/lighting camp fires. Also have a capacity that matches a full stack of matches refillable with kerosene. Wouldn’t hurt to add a few zippo tricks when lighting it. I was thinking the same time frame it takes to smoke a cig

[slow bolt]

That is a thing In western goods

Smoking anim already uses a lighter iirc

[remote venture]

Oh…bummer. Guess I’ll stick to my original idea. Creating different weapon jam animations for pistols.

[remote venture]

True, but you don’t see it and it’s not in your inventory. Unless they address that in the western goods addon which I’ve never used

[celest forge]

Just the jam? Like adding one to the existing set?

Can't be done sadly, except not in a good way

[remote venture]

Well for example a brass casing getting caught in the ejection port called a stove pipe. Can usually knife hand clear it with a chop

[remote venture]

Any simple way for your sake you could explain why?

[celest forge]

Most weapon animators do their animations with a rig

arms work with a skeleton, each part is connected but moves independently from each other

What a rig does is connect all of those bones in a way that when you move the hand, for example, the elbow and forearm move with it, same with all the fingers

and you can't import existing animations to a rig

Which makes adding animations to a set impossible, as you need the base animation(idle, most of the time) to use that as a first key for your unjam

There are people that make animations without a rig but it takes way longer and the results aren't as good

[remote venture]

So if I want to make an unjam animation replacer that is feasible but adding it to the current unjam animations is impossible unless you go the way of not using the rig. Which generally looks tacky OR the creator is exceptionally skilled, patient, and has a lot of time on their hands to fine line each movement and animation. This accurate understanding?

[celest forge]

Pretty much, yeah

Animations made outside of rigs can look fine

but they take a lot of time to make and they aren't as polished as ones made with rigs

https://www.moddb.com/addons/anomaly-weapon-animation-overhaul-release There is a mod someone made that is pretty much what you want, but for all vanilla Anomaly guns

and as you can see the elbows and forearms sometimes look weird and the motions aren't all that amazing for some of them

[remote venture]

Thanks for that explanation. So to mess with anything in gamma it’s a matter of using the rig and just building around that but as a replacer for a certain gun, for a starter attempt anyway

[steady apex]

open demonized_mugging_squads.script file, on line 497 there is a condition parameters string, on that line replace dist_to_actor_le(3) to dist_to_actor_le(15)

the squads will start to talk 15 meters away

[clever sun]

I disabled the mod, no effect on WALKING speed. But all of the effects taken on run and sprint speed dissapeared. I think this is stealth mod, there is also a speed settings but it have no effect after change.

[fathom wagon]

The "Speed" parameters in the Stealth mod are modifiers on enemy sight based on your specific movement. They affect your actual movement speed.

He was talking going in that mod's setting inside MCM and adjusting them to your preference. Not disabling the mod.

[clever sun]

Changing it in MCM have no effect on walking speed(i want to change "shift" speed). Check what i wrote up.

[lilac idol]

are you guys talking about adding a brand new animation as a variant for unjamming the gun (via UAS) or just adding an unjam animation to a gun that doesn't have it?

well in any case both are possible anyways

[remote venture]

My understanding of the process is rather non existent but yes. From what I’m told using a rib but only as a replacer is best and the most smooth. But as you said it’s possible not to use a rib but then you come out with an animation prone to human error so it doesn’t come out as best it could. I initially wanted to make an unjam animation for pistols as an example that has a chance to play alongside what we have now but that would require not using the rib. However I don’t mind making a replacer. It just has to be good…and cool lol

[lilac idol]

have you ever animated before?

[near dirge]

Is this because of a bone that's not connecting to something in Blender?

[near dirge]

If so, I did spam click assign on wpn_body.. Not sure what that error means

[near dirge]

I'm trying to add a custom scope to an existing gun and I followed the video guide exactly but I'm only guessing that the scope is not properly attached to the body of the gun or something

[remote venture]

Never, but I simply don’t have the time. I want to manifest my ideas, but don’t want to lose the little play time I get with my job. So I commission. Some of the work I’m able to do, like sound related mods. But animation I have zero ability nor the time to learn. Only reason I had the time to learn about audio was because I was out of work for 4 months.

[lilac idol]

well you can just edit the omf in blender to add another action, then use the universal animation script to add that new unjam animation variant

there's a video about that somewhere in the pins here

[near dirge]

I fixed this.. But I have another question if anyone knows..

What causes a gun to treat a red dot like iron sights? I tried zooming in but it was very far away and I couldn't see through it

[slow bolt]

what

[near dirge]

I added the thermal scope to a gun that does not traditionally support it.. But when I try and zoom in-game it acts like iron sights (does not zoom into the scope), and the scope does not "turn on"

[quasi narwhal]

did you tell the game you've put a scope on it?

[near dirge]

Probably not.. The video didn't really cover that part so not sure how to tell it

[quasi narwhal]

you need to think that every weapon with a scope/red dot turns into a "new weapon" in the game config. files

you'll have to change the ltx files to add this new scope to the weapon, point to its correct model and animations set etc

otherwise the gun will be treated as it is bare raw, with the iron sights that is

you can check how other weapons are done, like the M4 with ACOG etc. and just DLTX the new section you want

[near dirge]

So I tried copying those entries from other guns that use the exact same scope.. But the iron sights are still the result

[quasi narwhal]

isn't it just the positioning then?

[near dirge]

Nah the whole scope doesn't work

Example.. I can change the positioning that's not an issue.. The physical scope doesn't scope lol

[remote venture]

Thanks, I screen clipped that for later reference. I’ll also check on that pin. Hope it’s easy to spot

[lilac idol]

who are you making the commission to if I may ask

[remote venture]

Whoever is able and willing. Was gonna check Fiverr. I wouldn’t mind making a replacer if the end result is the best quality. Just felt a simple racking of the slide to clear a jam was getting kinda dull. Maybe pull the mag out, hold the slide back and see two rounds fall outta the mag port for example. Sped up to match the time it takes to unjam a weapon currently.

[empty swift]

just wanted to ask but how is the nominal stopping power for bullets calculated?

[misty mulch]

for the bullet only? it's whatever its k_hit value is. if you're talking about the default stat card, i believe it's gun hit_power * first listed ammo type's k_hit

[empty swift]

yes for the bullet only, like it says in the text that the nominal stopping power for lets say 7.62x54r is "74" im just curious how that 74 came to be

[misty mulch]

oh in the item description?

that shit isn't calculated at all lmao

it's just typed in and has 0 relationship to the real bullet stats

[empty swift]

oh for real? god damn i've been on this damn calculator of mine for 30mins trying to figure out how the nominal stopping power was calculated

[misty mulch]

yup. it's just text

[empty swift]

anyways thank you for the help

[misty mulch]

for example, 7.62x54 7N1 in the files has k_hit = 0.85, the "description" says "nominal stopping power 62", which is uh. not real

[misty mulch]

if you want actual accurate stat displays, get this mod #1161433800803360808 message

[empty swift]

thanks again at the very least i understand how the ap value is calculated

[misty mulch]

oh. uh... the AP value is also lies, that's just dictated by the bullet k_ap

best to ignore the entirety of the description

oh wait huh it might actually have some vague basis in truth this time

which is to say, it's displaying "armor penetration power" as k_ap * 1000

[empty swift]

no im pretty sure the k_ap is the value time 1k i think

yeah

[misty mulch]

which would be roughly correct, yeah

[empty swift]

[pine hatch]

Hello, gentlemen. I am not very good at writing my own scripts and configs, so I would like to ask your advice. I have 2 addons for the voice of npcs - Dux Inumerable Character Kit Voice pack and Ukranian Voicelines. I want to combine these two addons, that is to make it so that each type of model npc randomly appeared one of the two types of voice (except for important and plot npc). How can I do this and what will I need for this?

[midnight panther]

my best guess would be to combine the voicelines into one mod, copy the part of the code that dictates what voiceline the npc uses and make it so that it includes the voicelines form the other mod

[pine hatch]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/935151896769998888.webp?size=48&quality=lossless&name=Hm~1

[midnight panther]

two mod files
probably folder named "voicelines" with all voicelines
combine folder
go into script that calls for said voicelines and make sure it is able to call all of said voicelines

[pine hatch]

well, I'm gonna try this

thanks man

[midnight panther]

im no modder though its just first that comes to mind

remember to backup

[pine hatch]

ahahahaha man, I had to look for better, so I still found such an addon on moddb...... the funniest thing is that all day looking for something similar, but found only addon that completely replaces the voiceover
Well, I found a DXML version of this addon

[tawny stream]

Neither am I, but your logic is sound.

[kindred radish]

hey
guys any good weapon reposition mod ??

[old berry]

#1118909693813862492 this one

its unfinished tho

[dry maple]

when the game spends 40% of cpu time waiting for the gpu to return results to occlusion queries

epic

yeah context switch out of the main render thread that will work or sleep lmfao

[celest forge]

multithread = true

It's that easy folks

[dry maple]

oh nice, I had all threads selected, it's actually ~50% of cpu time when you just look at the render thread

[clever sun]

How to change walk(shift) speed?

[surreal gust]

All my homies hate .cpp

[near dirge]

Anyone know how to fix repositioning? I use the draggable HUD editor and copy the settings directly to my ltx but every time I restart the game it goes back to this.. It's a lot better than it was, it just refuses to be normal..

[near dirge]

And then it does this to all other guns :/

[lilac idol]

i finally started animating something that isn't the fucking vector

now that the main poses are basically done, i would hit the graph editor but i gotta study

[lilac idol]

have you disabled the hud editor?

[near dirge]

Nope.. Only have these two enabled.. Does the hud editor force a reset in some way?

[lilac idol]

im asking if you have disabled the hud editor in debug mode

if i remember correctly you had to press resume

[near dirge]

Oh yeah yeah I did that.. I had to click Apply for it to save the values in a text file for me to copy over to my modded ltx.. Then resume after that..

[quasi narwhal]

you need to make sure the reposition is being loaded last if you did with the hud editor

search for mod_system_ in this channel and you'll get it

[near dirge]

Yeah I did do that.. It's way at the end of my ltx

[slow bolt]

uhh

[lilac idol]

fixed

[lilac idol]

are you pointing out the fact that i forgot the bullets textures or the finger clipping

[slow bolt]

This is when mag is already inserted

you have a second mag or smth

I dont understand what is happening there

[lilac idol]

a lot

secret reloads incoming

[quasi narwhal]

I think what he's trying to do is make the character hold the empty mag while attaching the new one, though the "empty" one is currently not empty

[lilac idol]

nah that's the normal reload

i wanna make a mag dump for the empty variant

[slow bolt]

It looks very odd

normally you pull out the mag and then put the new one in

okay now i see it

[lilac idol]

dual reload with retention

[slow bolt]

yeah nevermind

It just looks like he ejects the mag to the ground and inserts a new one

so it looked like a 3rd mag magically appeared

[lilac idol]

that's because the scene is pretty dark

idk how to adjust that

[slow bolt]

Yeah its miles better now that i undesrtand

[slow bolt]

Nah its because of the movement

it looks like he ejects

and without the sound it was hard to tell tf is going on

[lilac idol]

yeah i have to find fitting sounds

the g18 is basically done, but i still have to do the entire roni version

[lilac idol]

this is what it looks like from a 3rd person viewpoint

i literally did this in 2 hours lmao

[slow bolt]

i mean its not fixed

you cant pull a mag out like that with 2 fingers

It looks goofy

like nobody does this

[lilac idol]

but it looks cool + no one will notice unless they open the omf

[slow bolt]

But you do notice in the first person view

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

[fair canopy]

It's like that over under slide cock frosty likes to use for pistols

[slow bolt]

In first person it looks even more goofy

[lilac idol]

yeah the point is to see that, in a perfect world i would have pulled out the mag normally and then rotate it so it can perform the animation

but i aint doing allat tbh

[slow bolt]

I thought it was a bug

so it doesnt look good

[lilac idol]

ill try to adjust that a bit once im done with homework

[lilac idol]

wait what does this mean

[fair inlet]

I used MW and RoN for gunslinger glock

[lilac idol]

yeah but i have to find sounds for the glock with the polymer body

im also gonna be using firebreath's animations for the normal pistol, i don't like gunslinger anims at all. did you do any patch for prp?

[fair inlet]

I mean they sound polymer enough

[fair inlet]

no I did gunslinger only

[lilac idol]

do you have any polymer charging handle sounds that i can mix somehow with the metallic slide?

[fair inlet]

tbh I don't know how that frame works so not sure how it supposed to sound

[lilac idol]

erm hold on let me try to find a video

because i haven't really seen this gun in a videogame yet

[lilac idol]

https://youtu.be/dzHZPGoT3UY?si=g85USJM9EtqRx1BF this is the best i could find on youtube

[fair inlet]

eh it sounds same as regular glock

[lilac idol]

yeah i thought that the polymer would at least make it sound a bit different

[fair canopy]

That seems like a worse mp9

Also don't think I've ever seen anyone concentre so hard while shooting a glock

[lilac idol]

probably worse yeah

but cooler imo

[lilac idol]

yeah you were right I'll just go back to blockout stage

I feel like there's no way I'm saving that one

[pearl vessel]

Does anyone know of commands I could use to identify the name of the current consumable animation / player hands animation being played, or know of any ways to display or modify the offsets of these animations during runtime like you can with weapon HUD offsets?

I'm working on a mod thing that fixes all hand animations for people that play with high fov and hud_fov (lke myself at 110 fov and 1.0 hud_fov). So far I've had no trouble fixing weapons using the debug tools, since the weapon HUD offset screen gives you the exact filename and I can find the corresponding weapon in the configs folder and paste the values from the ingame editor to the config file.
I'm now trying to readjust the offsets of player hand animations for consumables, and so far I've managed force the correct hud_fov across all consumables by finding every consumables config\items* file such as items_anm_antirad.ltx and giving it a new hud_fov value if one wasn't specified, like so: ```
[item_ea_stimpack_army_hud]
hud_fov = 1.0
hands_position = -0.0055,-0.105, 0.532
hands_position_16x9 = -0.0055,-0.105, 0.532

That part works and now every consumable is using a forced 1.0 hud_fov as expected. But now when attempting to alter the positional offsets to account for the new fov, I've been having some trouble identifying the correct consumable in the configs. Stimpacks don't seem to change their offset in this file, but adding hud_fov worked despite offset changes being ignored - I suspect the offsets are being declared in multiple places with possibly mods overriding the animations from other mods.
Even when I can find the correct file and item entry to change the right consumable, I'm having to blindly change values and restart the game to inspect the changes, and repeat trial and error ad nauseum. 
Please, any nugget of information that could make this even a little less tedious would be greatly appreciated 💛

Also, I'd love to be able to modify the orientation / rotation of the animations to fix some of the clipping, but I'm not able to see which axis I'm rotating on and the rotation amount seems far more sensitive (is it in degrees or radians or 'xray magic unit's?), with even small value changes going nuts (but anything less than 'small' is not noticeable enough to be able to tell what axis rotated - making me restart the game again to test another value). I've been sticking to just positional offsets for my sanity, but being able to alter rotation would be particularly useful for fixing the flask animation.

Is there a command similar to vid_restart but for reloading config files?

[pure surge]

Some weapons like m82 barrett are not avaliable (only debug) Can I somehow make them appear in game?

[slow bolt]

well yeah you obviously can by adding them to loadouts, traders

[pure surge]

But how?

[cerulean mantle]

How can I force a weapon to use a locked HUD_FOV?

Independent rather

[summer stream]

only one specific gun?

[cerulean mantle]

Yep. I added the HUD_FOV = number line and it's gucci

I've ran into an issue I can't fix.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/958342885005221898/1286319519182360619/image.png?ex=66ed79e8&is=66ec2868&hm=901f795e1117450c5e89126822291be08d083bb3f57e63fcfcaba6b623529d14&

See the snd_reload and snd_reload_empty?

Everything works just fine. These sounds are played where they should. Except snd_reload_empty.

Where can I find this damnable wpn_m16_sounds?

[cerulean mantle]

Fixed it!

[lilac idol]

alright i had some free time and i decided to start all over again, do you think this is a better approach at all? keep in mind that these are just poses so transitions might be a bit shitty

[slow bolt]

It's looks like you take the mag out and insert it back

[lilac idol]

i haven't done any timing yet

[slow bolt]

Not sure what you mean

In general it's good

[lilac idol]

i haven't timed the transition between mag in and mag out

[slow bolt]

But it looks like you insert the same mag back

[lilac idol]

yeah i know ill have to look into that because im not too sure about how to do that

[slow bolt]

Have a delay of a second maybe and it will be good

[lilac idol]

doesn't hurt to try

[random fulcrum]

ye it needs a slight delay when the mag goes off screen

[lilac idol]

[cerulean mantle]

And some bag/sliding on textile soundeffect :D

Why is the weapon having two mags?

[lilac idol]

you just reminded me that i have to make the sound work

[lilac idol]

it's meant to be a reserve mag

[cerulean mantle]

Oh

Imagine if the engine allowed to actually use and change the reserved mag

[lilac idol]

i was actually going to ask some experienced modders about that

[random fulcrum]

that delay looks perfect imo

especially for an smg looking thing

[lilac idol]

thank you

[celest forge]

Damn this looks great

compared to your Vector

You're making huge steps

[lilac idol]

thank you! the vector is a really tricky gun to operate in a lot of ways, that made the animations quite difficult to do tbh

[cerulean mantle]

We need a hell lot more SMGs tbh.

[celest forge]

One tip I have to make the anims look a bit less robotic is taking the X axis rotation keyframes and offsetting them by 2 frames

so select all the keyframs of the X rotation except the first and last and move them two frames forward

and then take the Z or Y movement frames and offset them one frame back

[lilac idol]

although i haven't even touched the graph editor yet, these are all poses

[celest forge]

I always have the graph editor open

ngl

[lilac idol]

ill try that and send the results

Hey, I was told to ask my question here so hoping I am in the right place lmao

Anyone here know hot to get the outfit stats editor to work? I managed to get a duty battlesuit which I want to have for the stats and I am willing to take the movespeed penalty, but it looks ugly as hell and I prefer the look of my old outfit. I was wondering if I can take my old outfit and apply the stats of the new one to keep the look of the old with the stats of the new.

But I don't know how to work the outfit stats editor, tried just straight copying from one to the other but getting no result after pressing apply, even tried putting on the battlesuit first, pressing copy, equipping my old suit, pressing paste then apply. The stats dont stick, still keeps the old values

I asked this in Newbie chat, they told me to ask in Invictus, I asked in Invictus, they told me to ask here

[slow bolt]

you dont use that editor

you make a dltx mod yourself with edits you want

Not as long as that obviously.. But a slight 1 second flip between 2 fingers sounds sick xD

Don't know the process or how long/diifficult it will be though

[lilac idol]

it will be probably difficult but I like the idea so I'll try to do it at least

[thick loom]

Hello everyone! Let em ask, someone knows if its possible to create a DLTX version of "actor_hud_hand_animations"? The thing is, i want to create a outfit mod, since they are additional, i don't want to use a hand pack as a base to these outfits

[jovial burrow]

Hey legends, i have no knowedge on how to make mods but was wondering how difficult would it be to make a mod that shows the gun in your inventory without a mag when the mag is taken out?

For example it would swap out the picture with a unloaded variant and swap back when loaded. Like the Mp5 shown in the pic?

[simple scaffold]

easier would be to have the icon have no mag and add the mag in as an icon layer when needed. there is a script used by sortingplus that can add icon layers dynamicly.

that script can increase the lag when opening your inventory due to maniplating the icon layers as the UI draws.

it is a lot of icon work. and ltx work to make the new icons that are just a magazine and add a line to the gun ltx telling the script where to find that icon. (i'd make the mag icon the same size as the gun icon with the mag in the exact same place to make lining the layers up easier.)

the codeing isn't that bad since I did the hard work years ago when i wrote that script i mentioned.

basicly a function that the icon layers script calls that then goes "is this a gun? should it have a magazine? does it have a magazine icon line in its ltx? if all are yes give s the icon layer script back the icon. tiny bit of fluff to get that setup. proably ~20 lines

[jovial burrow]

Thanks for reply man, im totally happy with the icon work, could you remind me what the ltx is?

also the lag is a good point didnt consider that

[simple scaffold]

in the weapon ltx

in the section for each weapon add a line mag_icon = xxx where xxx is the section you make for the mag icon.

the mag icon section should look like

[wpnname_mag_icon]
icons_texture                             = name_of_dds_with_mag_icons
inv_grid_width                           = 1
inv_grid_height                          = 2
inv_grid_x                                                = 22
inv_grid_y                                              = 1

but the numbers correspond to the mag icon in the new icon dds

you can make these changes directly in the weapon ltx while doing proof of concept. but probably want to move them to a DLTX file before you start doing every weapon since gamma weapons are so spread out in somany files. or you could start in dltx.

someone around here should have a link to the stalker icon editor which will help with the gird numbers.

it may be easier to put both the guns and the magazine icons into one dds and also edit the weapon sections to have an icons_texture line pointing to your dds, that might require updating the grid numbers in the weapons. again to keep your work in one place instead of a half dozzen icon dds files.

[simple scaffold]

fortunately the lag seems to depend on the number of icons the script is asked to work on, not the number of icons in your inventory. and you will probabaly have fewer guns on you at one time than the ppl reporting the lag in sortingplus had items markred as favorites/junk

[jovial burrow]

Oh cool, any idea where these dds files would be located?

oh nvm ive gottem

[drowsy scarab]

the same problem with gauss, how you fix it ?

A guy had started working on exactly this several months back. He gave up because of the sheer absurdity in the number of icons to reposition and input in.

[faint sable]

They also have to do it for each sight and scope so think if a gun used 30 sights and scopes combined, you have to do 30 new icons for just empty mag and also edit the original texture if unlucky and it becomes more of a hassle then anything

[simple scaffold]

No. Scopes, GL and silencers are layers added to the base icon. You don't need to touch them if you aren't changing the icon enough to change their attachment point.

[faint sable]

Ah gotcha

still would be tedious to do everything just for the empty mag to be shown though wouldn't it

more so it'd be just for vanilla I reckon unless the person did it for custom gun mods too

[simple scaffold]

I knew I was echoing my self. Couldn't remember if that was here or efp tho.

That guy wanted diff icons for diff mags tho I think. If you limit yourself to one it is less work than an icon overhaul. And you can ignore pistols. Base game that is only a few dozen guns I would guess.

I don't do art. If someone has enough art and ltx changes done to test id probably just whip up the script real fast.

[simple scaffold]

That's what I would do. And provide instructions on how to set it up for others to duplicate for custom guns.

The way I suggested doing it would ignore guns without support.

And if you are making a gun mod you would not need to make two icons and a mag icon. You could attach the mag icon as a static icon layer just like scopes are. A simple DLTX line could disable that layer.

Infact I could setup a DLTX file such that the DLTX to disable the the static icon layer would only be active if the mag icon mod were active.

This would mean that support could be passive, no need for a dedicated patch.

I have found with mags redux that if you make it easy for gun modders to support something like this they are willing to.

(Or a some third party will)

Hand animations are correct, but the weapon doesn't go according to hand animations. What would be the cause? weapon_hud.ogf?

here are the smart terrains in the level atm

there's still a lot more to be added

[near dirge]

So this new map will be to the right of Rostok?

[surreal gust]

I placed it there as placeholder for now

It took me some time

The map dragger tool was saving my ass

even though it wasn't intended for anomaly

[near dirge]

Ah okay.. Makes sense.. Will you be open to moving it? Up to you of course

Currently conflicts with New Levels mod.. I don't even know if they'll be compatible with each other ngl

[surreal gust]

I'd have to do terrain mask edits to align the roads

but I'll think about it.

It shouldn't be difficult

[near dirge]

No worries :) I love new maps since I've been playing Stalker since release so anything new is very exciting to me

So if I can have what you have planned ontop of New Levels that would be sick but it's up to you

[surreal gust]

I really want to make this into a high quality level

No shortcuts.

This is a port, but the original level didn't have anything else other than its scene objects

I fixed the author's geometry errors and replaced almost all of the scene objects

Now I'm adding smart terrains and their waypoints

[near dirge]

Oh it's a port? From where if you don't mind me asking? I don't remember seeing anything like that before

[surreal gust]

I don't know

I was looking for some SDK packs

I think I got this from ap-pro.ru, idk

The codename for this level is "sov"

[near dirge]

Ah okay makes sense.. The only "custom" maps I know of are New Levels, the entire f.o.t.o.g.r.a.f. mod, and I think that's it really

I'm very excited to see where this goes

Im not familiar with blender otherwise I'd use Blender to figure which texture map applies to this weapon part.

With it being darkest of blacks, its killing me.

you can actually use OGF tools for that

most of the time its enough

If you change combine_1.ps to set the output alpha to 0 instead of skyblend it fixes the weird distance effect where distant geometry looks transparent. Not sure what the intent of effect is but it doesn't look right to me.

Using the FN2000 Tac from RWAP, when you aim, it automatically zooms in. Looking in the LTX I cant spot anything that may be causing this. A bit confused, any ideas?

Here is the LTX

[simple scaffold]

like the base gun? i am going to guess this: ```
scope_status = 1
scope_zoom_factor = 0

it has no scope texture so nothing is drawn on the screen but it is treating it like it is a gun with a perm scope attached.

change `scope_status                             = 0`  and see if it stops acting this way as a test.

Been playing GAMMA EXP Edition Redux for a while, just got KS-23 and noticed that, unlike other pump-action shotguns, you can't skip reload animation while quickscoping. If you try to do that, the gun refuses to fire for several seconds. If you continuously aim down sights, the gun fires normally though. Digging through the files, I found out that BaS22 KS-23 has been remade based off Winchester, while 2021 version is based on old MP-133 animations. Replacing 22 file with 21 fixes the quickscope problem, but screws up the gun hud positioning. Simply copying the values of 22 hud to 21 did not help. It seems the new MP-133 is also based off Winchester and has the same issue.

When I was using key word search function in this server, I haven't found anyone asking about it. It was recommended to me in Redux thread to ask about it here. Has anyone using BaS22 or Expedition Redux pack had this issue?

[granite lagoon]

Guys you should make a ping mod, that simulates ping in gamma or make a invalid hit mod. To make people really wanna smash there pc

[lethal garden]

Still no luck. Thank you though! Ill figure it out

Is it possible that I could somehow use the ACR hand animation with the type89 (second photo)? Im not a fan of gripping the foregrip like-so.

[celest forge]

Sure

Make the mod again

[random fulcrum]

what's the point of a foregrip if operatorismo says that you shouldn't grip it

[celest forge]

I didn't make the anim set I used for the ACR

I used BaS' grip SCAR set

[lethal garden]

So..

Should I replace the hud_hands animation of the type89 with the ACR?

[random fulcrum]

not at all

you have to adjust everything around it

which is why juan said make the mod again

[celest forge]

Yeah that's not how it works, unfortunately

You'd have to take the base hud ogf and all the scope hud ogfs and put it on the armature of the Type 89

Then edit the animation path files in the gun's ltx

then reposition the gun + all the scopes

[random fulcrum]

all of that skipping over the animation maybe not matching how the other gun is supposed to be operated

wouldn't know really but it can happen

[celest forge]

I mean yeah

All that is assuming the animation is compatible

Which I have no clue, never used the type

Neither do I know how it works

[lethal garden]

Okay. Thanks guys!

lol ok nvm

[fathom wagon]

You are using ArtiGrok and Frosty's Weapon Pack, right?

Find the "SIG Fury" ammo ltx file in Frosty's Pack and hide it in MO2. He made the same SIG ammo from ATHI but named it differently despite the ammo being the exact same.

Also make sure you don't install the ammo icons from Frosty's pack or else it will completely overwrite the custom icons made for ArtiGrok.

[lilac idol]

hopefully this is the last version of this anim. i just did some overall improvements and redid the whole b2i transition

shoutout to mirrowel for making me realize that the previous animation was ass🗣️

[slow bolt]

tbf only the first one was

previous post was also good

but this one is better

[lilac idol]

yeah i mean the other animation

but yeah i do agree that i fuck with this one way more than with the other one

although something tells me that the only reason the animation looks good is because of the mag grab

[tawny stream]

I like this one too. Thank you for not making the mag have a kiloton mass.

Too many animations have a small earthquake when ejecting or inserting a new magazine.

[lilac idol]

a lot of the times that's done like that to have a better timing and rythm

and if you're a good animator, it makes it look really good

[scarlet sinew]

Oh god thanks

Question:

What files determine what spawns around?

For example, swapping the MP7 to use 4.6 ammo is easy, just edits to the gun and mags, but how do I make it spawn around like other ammo types?

[timber cedar]

Depends on what you mean
If you mean items spawning in world, you could likely look for dynamic spawns in various mod
If you mean stuff being for sale in vendors, you'd wanna look around at the trader inventories specifically. Something like BHSRO or GAMMA Economy would be a good start for that as a DLTX mod.
If you mean stuff being in NPC Loadout, you'd wanna look through the npc_loadout .ltx's and their death drops to add it there

[surreal gust]

Testing unique npc's, there are a lot of bugs to fix

[opal gulch]

What file determines gun part condition loss?
I figured out it's seperate from regular condition by setting condition loss of the gun to zero and firing a lot, and the parts still degrade, so I'm wondering how to change that up and down

[brave tartan]

might someone out here be using substance painter. and know hwo to properly export stalker stuff (especially over lapping UV maps) into substance. like lets say cars or smth.

 mod_npc_loadouts_xm4.ltx
 new_game_loadouts.ltx
 npc_loadouts_zombied.ltx
 npc_mag_loadouts.ltx
 wep_loadouts_ace52.ltx

@misty mulch

[regal bolt]

I wanted to get started modding clear sky

what do I need?

[misty mulch]

You're mixing new game loadouts with NPC loadout files, comparing apples to oranges

[misty mulch]

Additionally, both npc_mag_loadouts and wep_loadouts_ace52 have nonstandard, non DLTX names, so you'd have to additionally look at those mod's scripts to understand how their loadout injector works

Can't answer your q without more info, basically

[misty mulch]

It's complicated. There's not only an outfit drop chance which is... somewhere... Each NPC model file is also associated with up to two possible outfit items that they could drop. Not every NPC visual model has drops set up either. And Dux's has 3800+ models.

So the chain is more like
Check if NPC model *can* drop items -> roll % chance to see which, if any, of those items get dropped

And no I don't remember the exact outfit drop script but iirc it's sensibly named

[random fulcrum]

death_manager

[misty mulch]

Oh right, that's the one

[random fulcrum]

idr any chance numbers being there in the death_outfits.ltx that gamma uses

so i'd assume the only "roll chance" comes from scavenging

and of course the progressive armor loot

[misty mulch]

Hard to say more without knowing how @naive plaza is trying to do it

[dusky pilot]

Hey, everybody. Is it possible to change the update frequency of quests?

[surreal gust]

fixed this shit

[naive plaza]

I understand, What I'm looking for specifically is what config file has the percentage drop chance for the armor.
Say for example, ISG with nosorog in it's drop table.

[misty mulch]

look at death_manager

[naive plaza]

For the test I want to do, I just want to set the value to 1 (100%)

[naive plaza]

Will do! 👍

Regarding the name of nosorog-equipped npcs, what is the name? I found something called stalker_isg_nosorog but that seems to be an internal name in a mod by dux

[misty mulch]

today is your lucky day

combines both dux's default drops + the gamma dltx affecting it

model name is the NPC Visual Model name, NOT npc id

depending on the npc id/npc rank + faction, they can select from a pool of possible NPC models

[naive plaza]

I'm smoothbraining hard rn.
This is the npc_id and the outfit + helmet they drop?

NPC Visual Model name, NOT npc id
Wat?
depending on the npc id/npc rank + faction, they can select from a pool of possible NPC models
I'm not following? It's a dynamic spawn pool of sorts?

[misty mulch]

game spawns an NPC -> game knows what rank/faction that NPC is supposed to be -> based on this rank/faction, game picks from a pool of possible NPC Visual Models (aka the literal character models that look different to each other) -> based on this NPC Visual Model, each NPC can have a different outfit drop pool

you can have 5 NPCs that look the same (same NPC visual model) but they must all have unique npc IDs.

you can have a Duty npc id e.g. dolg_123456 with the visual model stalker_dolg_ps5m_gasmask_1

[naive plaza]

Okay, interesting.

[misty mulch]

visual model is randomly chosen

you can check an npc's visual model by using debug menu -> Get Info

[naive plaza]

So it's based on visual model "class", not the npc_id "class"

ALright alright

[misty mulch]

fun fact npc visual model also dictates the npc's armor profile

which makes sense, you don't want an npc that looks unarmored to be treated as heavily armored by the ballistics system

[naive plaza]

True true

[misty mulch]

but it's why e.g. npc model mods can fuck up armor definitions and make certain npcs too tanky (i.e. kvmas without the patch)

[brave tartan]

might someone out here be using substance painter. and know hwo to properly export stalker stuff (especially over lapping UV maps) into substance. like lets say cars or smth.

[naive plaza]

Speaking of KVMAS, I've read things that it messes with certain armor spawns, is this true? (it was 1-2 year old posts about this though)

[misty mulch]

idk, i don't use it, and it's abandoned anyway

[naive plaza]

Okay. I'm running the KVMAS x Azterix merge (also seems abandoned) which is the whole reason I got into this anyway. (Certain armors not spawning potentially)

Do you know of any "HD model pack" that is "current"?

[misty mulch]

nope.

[misty mulch]

when i say "kvmas" that is the mod i refer to

[naive plaza]

Yes ofc.

[misty mulch]

i mean you don't need to get to % drop chances to "fix" or even check this
find kvmas's version of death_outfits.ltx, scrape + deduplicate all the outfits in there, here's my WIP outfit stats sheet, check which IDs are missing

all you'd have to do to make sure certain armors spawn, is to use DLTX to override death_outfits.ltx, since that's the config that tells the game which NPC visual models should drop which outfits

the tricky part is that i think you have to use dltx csv syntax instead of regular "just overwrite the section", since i tried that and the only way i could make it work was to completely delete the section then redefine it in the same file

[naive plaza]

Thanks you for all your help.
I'll dive into this and see if I can find anything out or at least gain some insight.

[misty mulch]

actually let me remove that csv and just give you a regular text document of just the outfit IDs

[misty mulch]

also while i'm not going to download all of kvmas+azetrix just to get my hands on two text files, if you just send me the death_outfits.ltx and any file in that mod that begins with mod_death_*.ltx from the kvmas mod, i will do the comparison for you

[naive plaza]

Wtf, there is none in the KVMAS+azterix I have

[misty mulch]

then you'll just be using the anomaly defaults ig

unless it uses some bespoke death_outfits injection system

and if you're using anomaly defaults - obv, every possible outfit will be covered, BUT any models that have unique names coming from the mod, will not drop anything

[random fulcrum]

god bless any and all hd models repack

truly my favorite genre

[misty mulch]

yup

[naive plaza]

I mean, the pack works. But...

[misty mulch]

i mean i would argue it doesn't, between all this and the need to be patched to not have ultra tanky bandit/mercs

[naive plaza]

Anyway, I did a brute force test and just spawned in a shit ton of isg npcs and checked their drops

Seemed to be alright, got several exos and nosorogs.

So the version I have seems to be fine and not mess with anything

But that makes sense since there is no code messing with drops as far as I can tell

[thorn stratus]

sorry I just wanted to list the type of loadouts files I found so far, excluding trader's files which is something I have yet to look into. My question was more meant to understand the mechanism behind the loading order, as some of these files contains dltx overrides that remove weapons instead of adding them. To understand the order is also to understand the net positive of a gun added or removed from the pool

[misty mulch]

it's just halfassed lmao

[naive plaza]

I guess

[misty mulch]

order doesn't really matter though? they're all different loadout spawning mechanisms so the answer is, "it depends, depending on which system you're looking at"

[thorn stratus]

I presume those that starts with mod_ are dltx files

[misty mulch]

yes. so that's just the usual dltx loading system - alphabetical

again, not that it matters, since NPC gun loadout happens when the NPC is spawned

[misty mulch]

anyway as my convo above shows... there's at least four "loadout" systems i can think of off the top of my head:

• new player starting loadout
• NPC weapon loadout (happens at NPC spawn)
• NPC outfit drop loadout (happens on NPC death as death_manager.script determines what should be in the dead guy's inventory)
• trader profile "loadout" (i wouldn't call this a loadout, refreshes with every vendor restock)

[thorn stratus]

dltx is alphabetical while for the normal configs order does not matter. The point is that some files seems to add to same tables, so maybe they simply add

[thorn stratus]

this helps thanks

[slow bolt]

Idk what exactly are you talking about but i am here to sell you some z's to stack for your DLTX files

[thorn stratus]

the only one I did not know was the npc outfit drop, but there is also special mods like lootboxes

[misty mulch]

again, you'd have to look at the specific injector scripts for what I presume is the Mags mod (for npc_mags_loadout) and the ACE 52 mod (for wep_loadouts_ace52.ltx, but having gone through it for the ace + tommy gun, i can tell you it just injects the lines into the npc_loadouts_[faction].ltx files

[slow bolt]

Buy one z get 10 z's for free

[misty mulch]

i'm not going to be able to help for shit like lootbox

[thorn stratus]

no, I was just saying

[misty mulch]

but the vanilla npc weapon loadout is pretty well explained by the comment in the vanilla version of npc_loadouts.ltx, so just check your unpacked files

[thorn stratus]

I totally forgot on the anomaly unpacked stuff lol

[misty mulch]

starting loadouts are probably the most straightforward of all, the ltx defines sections of possible items + their starting points cost, game reads from it when you make a new game, done and dusted

[misty mulch]

anyway i'm gonna guess the mods that use bespoke script injectors, are doing this precisely to avoid any DLTX order conflicts, since those would work after the vanilla LTX + DLTXes have been loaded

[thorn stratus]

definitely

[misty mulch]

looking at loadouts_injector.script the order for NPC weapons would be

1. default/overriding LTX
2. DLTXes in alphabetical order
3. script-based injected configs

i mean that's generically true for most configs in this game afaik

[thorn stratus]

npc weapons, anyway the goal is to track all weapons that can spawn and the player can use

[misty mulch]

oh this is for the "marking which ones drop normally" idea, right?

[thorn stratus]

yes, but also to compile modlists metadata to guns that can be exposed in game in tooltips

[misty mulch]

really i'd tell you to read loadouts_injector.script

[thorn stratus]

ok I will do, thanks

[misty mulch]

np, ping if you have further qs about the weapon spawn system, not that i can promise to have all the answers

Hi, I'm a bit stuck, I managed to add the scope via blender, though I had to scale it up a little bit to make it fit properly, model looks fine in blender and ingame as long as I don't ADS, though when ADSing I'm left with that. Is there any way to fix that or am I best of undoing the scaling on the scope.

[lilac idol]

you have to scale all the meshes in the scope

[crisp cradle]

I'm an idiot

thanks

How can I decompress Anomaly files?\

I want to access the root files.

[stray swallow]

Just use unpacker from tools folder

[cerulean mantle]

I had no idea this folder existed.

If I make a backup from Folder Anomaly and unpack, does it unpack the backup?

[slow bolt]

You dont need to back up anything

unpacker leaves OG files intact

[cerulean mantle]

Ah I see. Thank you!

[cerulean mantle]

Yeah I'm going to do this.

Finishing Shadow of Chernobyl just became high priority.
