[quasi narwhal]

classic

[old field]

hello, what's the best way to weightpaint character models? I'm currently using blender, but motions never look right, is there a tool specifically for xray that works better?

[untold grail]

It shouldnt be this annoying to find literally just a fucking simple file for me to change.

[quasi narwhal]

it is if you don't know how to search

[untold grail]

Wow, it's almost like i've been asking that. For the last 12 fucking hours.

Where. Do. I. Find. The. Fucking. ltx. File.

It's literally all i've been asking, where can I find the file so I can change the file out with the legit one script I have to make the min/max % repair to 0% so I can repair everything when I want too.

[random fulcrum]

have you tried opening the mod's folder

like seriously

has this ever crossed your mind

i'd be shocked if it hasn't been the case

[untold grail]

Yes.

[quasi narwhal]

I mean, if you downloaded a mod that already worked before

you could reverse engineer the mod and update it/make it work right

[random fulcrum]

nah you're lying

[untold grail]

This is the mod i'm trying to get into my game, i've put it into mod organizer, that didn't work (kinda) (it's allowing me to repair weapon parts whenever I want too, but not cloth or the actual weapon without a cleaning kit)

[untold grail]

To anomaly or gamma, i've done both.

[random fulcrum]

??????????????

[untold grail]

?

[quasi narwhal]

brother in christ

why wont u guys shitpost in this level on a friday

[untold grail]

This isn't shitpost.

I genuinely do not know how to mod anything or how to put a file into a mod.

[quasi narwhal]

but as the mom asked you

have you tried actually opening the files

as in unzipping the damn mod and actually browsing the files

staring at their content

[untold grail]

Yes.

I even put it into mod organizer and it didn't work, it only works for gun parts, I also want it to work for sewing threads, glue, and some other stuff aswell.

This is even the file bro.

Unless the file doesn't even add the fucking sewing kit, threads etc etc and just only has gun parts.

[quasi narwhal]

well thats probably what is it then lol

the mod didn't add that feature in, simple as that

if you want it, you'll have to tweak the mod and add it yourself

[untold grail]

Sigh.

That idk how to do.

It even has the basic sewing kit.

So idk why it's not working.

[quasi narwhal]

you just need to think on how you need to find stuff
first, go into debug mode, and find in the item spawner an item that you know for sure the mod is changing to the way you want it to be
then grab the item ID and search it in the mod file

then you apply the same logic the mod is applying to the items you want

[untold grail]

It even has sewing thread, so I don't understand the fucking issue.

[untold grail]

Well I want all of the items that can be repairable go to 0% ( so basically I can repair weapons,armor,comps ) whenever.

Okay see, now this is working. But the sewing thread won't work.

[stiff forge]

Is this in GAMMA or Anomaly?
Because regarding GAMMA, if this is for personal use, "Armors repair like WPO" has a LTX file which states the minimum threshold for all toolkit repairs. Just change whatever numbers you like to 0, the first two are the ones that let you tinker with armor parts.

Regarding WPO, maybe it is possible doing a patch similar to the mod I am talking about using DLTX.

[quasi narwhal]

if you want all items this would probably be easier if done via script or DLTX, but eh

who cares

[untold grail]

I care XD

I wanna be able to use everything I can get no matter the durability.

Everything is fixable if you use enough flexseal on it

[untold grail]

Looking for the armors repair like wpo rn, would this be in the gamma mods folder?

[stiff forge]

Filter for the mod's name in MO2 and check in the folder "config" for the file that inside it.

Make sure to keep the format (puntuaction, buzzword, buzzword) in the file.

[stiff forge]

Shit.

Not ModDB, MO2.

[untold grail]

So right click the armors repair like WPO?

[stiff forge]

Right click it and "open in explorer".

[untold grail]

Now how tf do i save it

[stiff forge]

You just... Save it.

Like a text file.

Regarding WPO, maybe check the OG WPO mod, unless you see something else patching "items_repair.ltx".

[untold grail]

@stiff forge thank you.

[stiff forge]

Let's go, actually helpful.

[untold grail]

Now for this.

I want this to be at 0 aswell (ik ik broken watever idgaf)

same with this aswell

[stiff forge]

Well, regarding that, I don't really have idea.

But, you should be able to create a DLTX file in configs that has the same format as the WPO one.

The "!" symbol that you saw behind the names in the file that you just opened is an "overwrite only this", followed by the attributes of the "definition" (an object with values and shit) that you want to overwrite.

Basically, you have to look at the config files of WPO and the config files that overwrite certain files of WPO.

[untold grail]

So now as someone who has no expierence in the modding industry XD

I lifted this off of ModDB

[stiff forge]

I also have 0 experience. Don't worry.
The only thing I have done is read shit.

[untold grail]

Yeah i'm not good at reading esp when no one fluently types what i'm supposed to do and goes

"Figure it out"

[stiff forge]

"Uh, yeah, you are stupid. Solve it".

Anyways, you have to create a folder in the "mods" directory of Mod Organizer that follows the estructure as the other mod you opened.

The file that must be inside the innermost folder in the directory must be called "mod_system_[yourmodnam].ltx", with the parentheses part being the name you want to call it.

[untold grail]

Meh, tbh i'm happy where i'm at I think

[stiff forge]

Oh, come on.

[untold grail]

XD

[stiff forge]

Don't give up just yet.

[untold grail]

So, create a folder within the mods directory of mod organizer that allows me to estructure the other mod.

[stiff forge]

No. Create a folder inside the mods folder of MO2 that FOLLOWS the same file structure as the other mod.

Should be gamedata/configs

[untold grail]

.xd

Honestly, I think I got what I needed ngl.

I can deal with the glues having a % restriction.

Because now I can properly make guns good at any given time and have anything I want at any given time.

Ty for real.

[stiff forge]

Fine. What is the file/mod that manages the requirements of the workshop? Is it a script file or a DLTX file?

[untold grail]

I just wanted to be able to repair everything at 0% with the base kits, Which I am now able to do. The glues can stay where they're at, I won't bother.

[untold grail]

I actually don't know.

I think DLTX?

[stiff forge]

Well, can't judge you. It was just going to get harder from here.

[stiff forge]

It's actually a question for other guys.

[untold grail]

O I gotchu lol nvm then.

Ty fr bro.

[stiff forge]

Now it won't probably be read because it's more than 3 messages up.

[untold grail]

Do you think that the glues would be on the same part as the sewing thread? Just different?

Like with armor but with weapons?

[forest sedge]

where do i find the locations of armor/item stats?

and how would one disable the huge radiation decay on exoskeletons?

[untold grail]

Actually I’ll find that out on my own Ty Caesar

[stiff forge]

Probably. IDK which file defines it.

[untold grail]

Idk either.

[stiff forge]

Maybe a way to trick the workshop system into thinking the player always has the toolkits?

[untold grail]

Is there anyway in M02 that I can change the outcome of that without using a mod? Like for me making the tools be able to repair anything even at 0% or is that mod only?

Context*

The reason im asking is because the mod that I have running for the 0% min repair thing, it doesn't allow me to use the multitool.

[lethal dirge]

Alright, at the risk of sounding really stupid:
In the anomaly modding book it says that tasks are defined inside task_manager.ltx in configs\misc\task\

In that folder in gamma there's a shitton of files ranging from collections of tasks for one region to other stuff.
In iTheon's new tasks mod, his \task\ just contains a file called tm_new_tasks_addon.ltx

So, is task_manager something that exists in anomaly only that gets overwritten by gamma, or is it just a "placeholder" name and you can name the .ltx file basically anything you want as long as it's formatted correctly and contains good information?

[untold grail]

Was that in response of what I said?

[lethal dirge]

No, sorry, seperate question

[untold grail]

I see

I wish I could filter what I need from this part of the server

[lethal dirge]

Okay, could you condense down what you're trying to do and ask it again? I can't gleam exactly what you want from the above stuff

Might just be cause i literally just woke up

[visual urchin]

don't worry, reading is good for the brain

[untold grail]

I have a mod installed that allows me to repair things at 0% lets say like barrels or even better yet, cloth. At 0-1% so I can make it into something, the mod that i'm running has broken my multitool so I can't use my multitool.

[lethal dirge]

Broken your multitool as in, you can't right click use it?

[untold grail]

P much im saying is, how can I get all of the items/tools usuable with 0% damaged items without having to use mods, considering the multitool doesnt have a use option

[untold grail]

Yea p much, it's only the multitool. Nothing else

Heres the items repair thing

[lethal dirge]

And this isn't intended behavior from the mod itself + you have it at the very bottom of your load order?

[untold grail]

Its at the very bottom of the priority list.

[visual urchin]

does your mod conflict with anything ?

[untold grail]

Nope, just allows the items/tools be able to repair 0% items

[visual urchin]

i mean in mo2, are there any conflicts ?

[untold grail]

I also went through this and saw that there was no multitool in the coding in here at all.

So that could be why?

[lethal dirge]

Right click it in mo2 -> Details -> Conflicts

[untold grail]

Well theres always conflicts

[untold grail]

Wait details?

[lethal dirge]

It is here

right click -> information, sorry

not details

[untold grail]

What note pad you using btw

Looks a lot cleaner than the one im using

[visual urchin]

pretty sure thats ++

[untold grail]

Im using ++

[visual urchin]

replied to the wrong message

[lethal dirge]

Yeah I have notepad++ but have it on dark mode

[untold grail]

Is this what you needed?

[lethal dirge]

And yeah that's what I was asking about

[untold grail]

How tf you turn ++ to darkmode?

[lethal dirge]

Also I think I'm using some custom script from a while ago

[untold grail]

NVM

It's on true

It's been on true.

[lethal dirge]

Yup

[untold grail]

So I guess this fucks with my multitool?

[lethal dirge]

It should only overwrite the minimum condition needed to repair

[untold grail]

Because theres no use button (also yeah I didn't figure out the hud leave me alone XD)

@lethal dirge I also did this,.

[lethal dirge]

Ah I see what it is

[untold grail]

Would that have any interest in it or no

[untold grail]

at

wat

[lethal dirge]

Try something out for me if you will

[untold grail]

Okay.

Im listening

[lethal dirge]

Go into the ltx of the mod, go to the leatherman and change:

use1_functor = itms_manager.menu_use
use1_action_functor = itms_manager.use_tool

to

use1_functor = item_repair.menu_tool
use1_action_functor = item_repair.func_tool

Then restart game and all that and try again

[untold grail]

Lowkey you’re gonna have to give me a minute and then might have you join a vc so ion fuck it up

[lethal dirge]

LMAO

[untold grail]

Wait im only chasing a line

I’m literally only changing a word

[lethal dirge]

Yup

[untold grail]

Am I retarded?

[visual urchin]

there's also this

[lethal dirge]

I'd prefer not to answer

[visual urchin]

should probably change the condition to 0 as well

[untold grail]

Ah fuck

[lethal dirge]

That looks like you're looking at the default ltx and not the modded ltx

[untold grail]

Hold on I can change that through MO2

[lethal dirge]

Pretty sure that's not the modded ltx cause the modded ltx has all cond min condition set to 0

Go into this folder on the right, find this .ltx, but make sure it's the one from the mod, and not the one from gamma overhauls

Double click it, open it up preferably in NP++, then ctrl + f search for "leatherman" and find use1_functor and change that from = item_repair.menu_use to = item_repair.menu_tool

[visual urchin]

i did accidentaly look into the wrong file, i'm sleep deprived

[untold grail]

In the gamma folder?

got it

[lethal dirge]

And change use1_action_functor from = item_repair.use_tool to item_repair.func_tool

[visual urchin]

in MO2, in the right hand side menu

[untold grail]

im doing what you suggested first then i'll do this

[lethal dirge]

That is what I suggested

[visual urchin]

[untold grail]

[lethal dirge]

The three sleep deprived idjits in here

[untold grail]

im new to modding

[lethal dirge]

Me too dw

You wanna get into a private call real quick just to make sure?

I don't want you to feel overwhelmed or unsure of what you're doing

(I mean I am too, but I've at least modified a few ltxs in my time)

[untold grail]

Still no fix

And yeah i'll hop in on

One8]

[visual urchin]

btw is this supposed to be item_repair or itms_repair ?

[stiff forge]

Managed to add a line to an old vanilla mod and fixed it. It was literally just adding the Artifact Melter to an array.

I guess it is true that there's always an easier way.

[visual urchin]

yes

[stiff forge]

What's the file that determines artifact condition at spawn?

[lethal dirge]

Alright, solved

Custom mod was using the wrong functors for the leatherman

[lethal dirge]

Shot in the dark but I believe it might be:
if drx_da_main then
arti_min_eff = 20
arti_max_eff = 30
else
arti_min_eff = 20
arti_max_eff = 40
end

inside

zz_item_artefact.script

Looks like these values are used for randomizing spawn condition of artefacts inside here, and it also references drx_da_main which is the randomized anomalies script (afaik)

If anything breaks, no guarantees

It's used here with some randomness to create artefacts, so seems about right

Let me know if it works btw, in case you're changing the conditions they spawn at, I wanna know for future reference for myself if I need to change it

@stiff forge did it work?

Also, gonna repost my question since we talked a lot inbetween

Alright, at the risk of sounding really stupid:
In the anomaly modding book it says that tasks are defined inside task_manager.ltx in configs\misc\task\

In that folder in gamma there's a shitton of files ranging from collections of tasks for one region to other stuff.
In iTheon's new tasks mod, his \task\ just contains a file called tm_new_tasks_addon.ltx

So, is task_manager something that exists in anomaly only that gets overwritten by gamma, or is it just a "placeholder" name and you can name the .ltx file basically anything you want as long as it's formatted correctly and contains good information?

[stiff forge]

Will test it later, thanks.
Although I don't even know how to speed the testing up using debug mode.

[lethal dirge]

I'd say chug a few sleeping tablets, sleep a few days (after editing the file and restarting) and then go and hunt some artefacts in the next region over

[stiff forge]

Yah, that should do.

[thorn stratus]

can somebody help me how to solve the weird encoding issue with bullet points in tooltips?

[thorn stratus]

sorted

[brisk adder]

Hello guys do we have a mod to make nighttime last the entire day?

Also maybe turn quests and mutants to the night ones as well, not just make everything dark alone.

[sturdy pebble]

can someone help me get the x-ray sdk tool the only download link i have for it is mega and im not able to install it because of how shit mega is for downloading anything

[simple scaffold]

Not that I am aware of.

I think making it dark can be done with the weather's.

2 or three script changes for the mutants. Smart_terrain script and sim_squad_scripted

Quests might be a crap shoot. Some might show up simply because the night mutants have spawned.

Others might share a function for checking the time.

Others might do a one off check.

Worst case every tasks checks for night time differently, unlikely but possible, and keep in mind that even if two NPCs offer the same kill strong mutant task it is actually a different task for each NPC and might need to be edited individually.

[simple scaffold]

I'm am sorry for making you feel real dumb. Don't stop asking questions.

The answer to your question is at the top of
https://github.com/Tosox/STALKER-Anomaly-gamedata/blob/v1.5.2/gamedata%2Fconfigs%2Fmisc%2Ftask%2Ftask_manager.ltx

[lethal dirge]

Yup, had a little talk with another modder in DMs and had a lot of my questions answered, but thank you anyways!

I had no idea I had to unpack the base anomaly files to see all this stuff

[simple scaffold]

Even ppl that have been modding for a while miss the fact that the task manager ltx explains how to add tasks to an NPC.

[lethal dirge]

Yup

[novel ruin]

What is the common resolution for default Stalker Anomaly texture?

[cursive rose]

guys I installed this https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/pp-19-bizon-reanimation-and-remodel along Better Bizon Weapon, the animation its cool but when I aim the weapon its too close to the screen, even with the reposition patch from Better Bizon Weapon, disabling PP-19 Bizon Reanimation and Remodel make it look normal again, i tried to edit its file using the reposition as reference but i am probably too tired at this point to understand what I doing wrong

[lethal dirge]

As I'm currently working with em, I can tell you that at least the select few i've looked at for stalkers are 1024 x 1024

This one being an example

This is a "4k" render of the model, you can see the resolution isn't exactly the most HD

[cerulean mantle]

Is it possible to DLTX scripts?

Or is it possible to have a script that edits part of a script?

[sacred token]

I think you are searching for "monkey-patching"

Because DLTXing a script is not possible

https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/scripting/monkey-patching.html

[cerulean mantle]

Yeah I want no part with this lol

That looks complicated as fuck. I am looking for monkey patching functions.

[sacred token]

Maybe looks like it, but it isn't

But it can be annoying depending on what function you want to patch

[cerulean mantle]

It has a bunch of ifs

[quasi narwhal]

the docs. add too much unnecessary information on the code examples, it's much easier than it looks

[cerulean mantle]

I just want to edit a single line

[sacred token]

Which line in which script?

[cerulean mantle]

zzz_player_injuries

[quasi narwhal]

which part you wanna change?

[cerulean mantle]

I want to replace this part

With this:

Just add in that tiny little "m_"

[quasi narwhal]

thats weird, my BHS version already has that in

I'd say just edit the script itself then

[cerulean mantle]

It's from Medication Balance which edits out the m_

[random fulcrum]

just add the m_ to the file itself

[quasi narwhal]

ah fuck that, add to the script itself then

[cerulean mantle]

Alrighty then

[quasi narwhal]

I ask this cause if muffle was a function param. i'd be an easy monkey patch if you didn't want to touch the original script

but eh, editing the original files is always better

[cerulean mantle]

Kinda wanted to release it for LASS

Trying to be as modular as possible.

Poor guys playing LASS have unmuffled BHS injury sounds when wearing a gasmask

[quasi narwhal]

does LASS include its own script for zzz_player_injuries?

[cerulean mantle]

No I don't think it does. It just adds sounds that BHS is supposed to play.

But BHS ignores all the m_ files because of this line edit.

Meanwhile all the sounds added by LASS itself are muffled, like speech, etc.

It honestly was on my nerves for so long until I decided to look into it for like 3 hours or more.

[quasi narwhal]

I mean, you can always include an optional patch for this adding the script you've edited as an optional on fomod

like "Can't hear muffled sounds? Add this"

cause I mean, as I've said my BHS already has that in there, so if I installed LASS i'd probably get the muffled variations

[cerulean mantle]

No, it's from G.A.M.M.A. Medication Balance

[quasi narwhal]

I'm running base Anomaly too, I think LASS doesn't require GAMMA does it

[cerulean mantle]

Which overwrites the BHS zzz_etc.

This fucker took me 1 hour to find.

[quasi narwhal]

is Medication Balance enabled by default on GAMMA?

[cerulean mantle]

Yep

Reply from Grok:

[quasi narwhal]

so you could add the Medication Balance zzz script with this patch in as an optional on fomod for specifically GAMMA players

[cerulean mantle]

Actually I won't post his reply without consent, but he said that he removed the m_ because it was only making BHS sounds muffled and nothing else. However, when you install LASS, the situation becomes reversed :D

[cerulean mantle]

I will do that tbh :D

[quasi narwhal]

well that doesnt surprise me, the m_ if condition is only applied for the bhs files

[cerulean mantle]

Yeah... it was kinda embarassing. I was like a a happy little puppy pointing out a script bug.

Which had taken me lots of hours to find.

But hey, my sounds are fixed haha

[sacred token]

Well, I'd say just do the personal direct edit of the file. I have another idea, but I am unsure if that works. I tried something similar but it wasn't with engine exported functions. Maybe it's possible to monkey-patch the sound_object constructor or play function. Then you could intercept the function parameter if zzz.player_injuries.actor_on_footstep is called and change it to include the m_.

Did it here for example:

bind_monster_generic_object_binder_death_callback = bind_monster.generic_object_binder.death_callback
bind_monster.generic_object_binder.death_callback = function(self, victim, who)
    local safe_release_manager_release = safe_release_manager.release
    safe_release_manager.release = function(se_obj) end

    bind_monster_generic_object_binder_death_callback(self, victim, who)

    safe_release_manager.release = safe_release_manager_release
end

Very crazy workaround

[quasi narwhal]

if zzz_player_injuries_mcm.get_config("new_voice_sounds") then
    local helmet = (db.actor:item_in_slot(12) or db.actor:get_current_outfit())
    if helmet then
        muffle = "m_"
    else
        muffle = ""
    end
    file = "bhs\\" .. muffle .. "pain_" .. sound_play
else
    file = "actor\\pain_" .. sound_play
end

he should've used the characters_voice\\player path instead of the actor, and also applied the m_ prefix to the characters voice itself

that would make both BHS and voice actor have the muffled variation

[cerulean mantle]

Yeah just put everything in a folder with and without m_, makes the code a lot readable too, and easier to execute.

You want no muffled sounds? Add a mod right after that replaces the m_ files with unmuffled versions.

[quasi narwhal]

local helmet = (db.actor:item_in_slot(12) or db.actor:get_current_outfit())
if helmet then
    muffle = "m_"
else
    muffle = ""
end
if zzz_player_injuries_mcm.get_config("new_voice_sounds") then
    file = "bhs\\" .. muffle .. "pain_" .. sound_play
else
    file = "characters_voice\\player\\" .. muffle .. "pain_" .. sound_play
end

I think this was the intended idea for that snippet there

[cerulean mantle]

Yep, this is like the thing LASS uses for speeches.

[quasi narwhal]

if he meant that only the BHS sounds were being muffled and not the others that is

[analog jungle]

How to use code to check if a character is aiming at the beveled sight in the bass?

[abstract schooner]

anyone make a mod yet that fixes quests auto completing themselves and breaking the balance

[cerulean mantle]

No, but there is a mod that makes you having to witness the objective sight for the objective to be completed.

For example, if you have a mission to kill mutants, and some random stalkers end up killing them, you have to get the confirmation by going and check the area.

Only then will the mission proceed to the next stage, which is the return stage.

[stiff forge]

I set the minimum to 30 in both cases and the max to 70 in the first and 80 in the other.

I got a 62 efficiency artifact in a new save in Yantar; but in older saves in Cordon I still found a 22% artifacts and such.

Besides, it would make sense that the norther you go, the better the artifacts are; so I could be simply getting proportionate artifacts.

[novel ruin]

Thank you, and what about environmental texture? I know i can extract texture from the game but im kind of ran out of storage rn

[stiff forge]

Well, in Cordon I have been only getting perk artifacts. That's odd.

[stiff forge]

If this is true, then changing those values may be making Cordon anomaly zones not be able to spawn artifacts.

[stiff forge]

Whatever, it works. Got a Jellyfish at 52%.

[lethal dirge]

For environments I honestly have no idea, sorry

[slim sorrel]

Is there a way to fully remove NPC spawn in a certain area of the map? For exemple, is it possible to remove the Renegade base in north of swamps?

[simple scaffold]

Not and have that a valid stating location .
But if you are playing other factions it should be ok

[slim sorrel]

Can you give me any clue of how it could be done? What files should I mess with?

[simple scaffold]

https://github.com/Tosox/STALKER-Anomaly-gamedata/blob/v1.5.2/gamedata%2Fconfigs%2Fscripts%2Fmarsh%2Fsmart%2Fmar_smart_terrain_7_3.ltx

Best guess remove lines 8 and 9.

[slim sorrel]

thank you!

marsh is for swamps?

[quasi narwhal]

marsh = swamps yes

[novel ruin]

Alright, thanks man

[lunar nimbus]

seems to be more people here than in amomale for quick basic questions ;]
so, are numbered parents allowed in ltx?

[1]
s = 0.01

[2]:1
a = 0.01
``` like this? i have some doubts if all parents converted to strings ;p

[simple scaffold]

I don't see anything that would disallow that

[terse breach]

Someone needs to make a Carcano mod

It would be fire

[random fulcrum]

someone needs to search

[lunar nimbus]

thanks as always ;]

[lethal dirge]

Not only is making tasks already a bitch, but holy shit trying to figure out how to make a custom delivery task is gonna kill me

[abstract schooner]

Not exactly what I was hoping for but not a bad bandaid temporarily either, any idea what the name of that mod is?

[cerulean mantle]

I renamed it in my mod list. Lemme see

@abstract schooner And who to shoot

I think it has the john Teravolta handling his jacket looking for something meme as preview

@abstract schooner https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/and-who-to-shoot

It works on cleaning sites for researchers as well.

Anything that targets an area rather than an object.

(object as in Stalkers, etc.)

So you can still have your eliminate target for Patchenko missions completed.

[abstract schooner]

Thanks a bunch.

[cerulean mantle]

Can tasks be DLTXed like this?

I am trying to edit the psy helmet task so it takes 30 days to be ready.

But it hands it to me immediately.

Is 2592000 such a large number to handle?

Maximum 32 bit number is 2,147,483,647/

[wintry rampart]

Hello everybodies !!

So, I've made a medicine mod for my GAMMA playthroughs, seeing where I and my buddy struggle a lot with is gunfights and recuperating effectively from them. Either pop a million pills which takes time and makes you DOOZY like hell, or DIE TO BOOLET !!

So, i ended up creating this mod just to test if it works, and lo and behold, it actually does !!

My question is -- How can I create newer meds that use the other animations like the adrenaline injections, medkit animations, and taking other types of pills!? Currently this mod uses the 'sleeping pills' item and animation.

Any help would be appreciated, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.S.

Cheers !!! 🙂

[misty mulch]

your filename is fucked. hint: using MO2 file browser, look in gamedata/configs/misc/tasks for GAMMA, there's at least TWO DLTX files that modify tasks in there.

sincerely please figure out naming conventions for DLTX, it is critical to understand how they work, and just feeding you a list of magic words to plug into the filename ain't it

[cerulean mantle]

Yup, I'm doing some homework

[lunar nimbus]

math somebody?

[sacred token]

Bruh, 30 days is a long ass time in stalker

[random fulcrum]

this guy's shtick is making the game fucking unbearable to play

in his mind it reminds him of misery

when misery was anything but that

[lunar nimbus]

hes playing it the right way, i also have 1-2 weeks cooldown on fetch tasks
coz i dont have infinite gamma sprint ;[

[misty mulch]

no that isn't even half of it

[random fulcrum]

that's lightning fast compared to what he's going for

[misty mulch]

things like a full minute to reload a 30rnd mag

or making you wait fifteen (15) IRL minutes to skin a mutant

[lunar nimbus]

he just changed it for storyline task to wait for helmet, i have it for ALL tasks
mine is much worse

[random fulcrum]

30 full minutes for the duration of a medkit

[misty mulch]

and moving way slower obv but that's frankly besides the point

[lunar nimbus]

yes all of these are must have

healing for a week after a scratch aswell

[misty mulch]

100% realism, every papercut takes a full 72h to heal

[lunar nimbus]

someday i'll release xcvbpack, if misery was hard then there will be no word for my modpack xd

anyway, math someone?

[random fulcrum]

replace divisions by x*(y^-1) to maximize performance as divisions are slow

that'd be 100 euro

[lunar nimbus]

i already maximize performance by making exponential algorithms only

maximize to 0

[cerulean mantle]

It refuses to work. No matter what number I put in there, original file even, the helmet is given to me immediately.

I don't have much time left tbhh. Gonna take it as it is.

[surreal gust]

👴

[lunar nimbus]

dont know how to change this ;p

if this file is included to something else u need to dltx main file, the one with includes

[quasi narwhal]

not sure but there's a dialogs_yantar.script that seems to mess around with that

[cerulean mantle]

The whole structure is like vanilla files, but half of the dialogs aren't available in game. I have to find what's causing them not to appear. And I am pretty sure I will find what's causing the game to not read my numbers.

[cerulean mantle]

I'm exactly there. But no matter if I put 10 or 10000000, it's always immediately.

But

[lunar nimbus]

cant solve elements on x axis

[quasi narwhal]

the only quest with the status_functor = check_if_enough_time_passed seems to be this one, maybe that functor is broken

I think you'd have to change the upgrade_player_bad_psi_helmet logic to consider the X days before the task_manager.get_task_manager():give_task("yan_stalker_sakharov_psi_helmet_upgrade") part

[cerulean mantle]

It reads this part correctly

function take_money_good_psi_helmet(a,b)
if not (db.actor:has_info("yan_stalker_sakharov_offer_free_upgrade")) then
dialogs.relocate_money_from_actor(a,b,500000)
end
task_manager.get_task_manager():give_task("yan_stalker_sakharov_psi_helmet_upgrade")
save_ctime(db.actor,"yan_stalker_sakharov_psi_helmet_upgrade",game.get_game_time())
end
<

And when I commented this whole function

function give_player_good_psi_helmet( a, b )

alife_create_item("good_psy_helmet", db.actor)
news_manager.relocate_item( db.actor, "in", "good_psy_helmet" )
local tm = task_manager.get_task_manager( )
local task_info = tm.task_info
if ( task_info and task_info["yan_stalker_sakharov_psi_helmet_upgrade"] ) then
    task_manager.get_task_manager( ):set_task_completed( "yan_stalker_sakharov_psi_helmet_upgrade" )
end
task_manager.get_task_manager():give_task("turn_off_brain_machine")
task_manager.get_task_manager():give_task("turn_off_brain_scorcher")

end<

You know what happened?

The time passed function started working.

I set it to 10 seconds. And when 10 seconds had passed, I could proceed to the next stage of dialogue.

"Is it ready yet?"

The game then would show me the completed dialogue, but it would be a loop.

Is it ready yet?
Yes!
Is it ready yet?
Yes!
Is it ready yet?
Yes!

Compared the script's structure to the vanilla unpacked, and they are the same.

I can do something.

Comment the script, go regular, after 30 in game days has passed, disable the mod that comments the script, and then finish it.

Or just save myself all this hassle and start counting days after I hit 500k

[quasi narwhal]

do this, comment the content inside the function

and put this

printf("dialog")

then check in your console if this is being fired on every interaction

[cerulean mantle]

@quasi narwhal

The moment I hit 4, dialog appears.

But you see the problem? The "it is" part should appear after 2592000 in game seconds have passed.

Basically, the dialog should appear after 30 in game days,

[quasi narwhal]

yeah, so i think you'll have to make a check inside that function to early return if the days didn't pass yet

cause it seems that function is running on every dialog instance, and since it doesnt make the days check there it just finishes the quest

yo actually, try this

task_status_functor.check_if_enough_time_passed = function(tsk, task_id)
    if not (db.actor) then
      return
    end
    local p = parse_list(task_manager.task_ini,task_id,"status_functor_params")
    if not (p[1]) then
        ("task_status_function not set up properly! check_if_killed_enough needs an extra param for squad story id! task_id=%s",task_id)
    return
    end

    local gt = load_ctime(db.actor,task_id)
    if (gt == nil or game.get_game_time():diffSec(gt) >= tonumber(p[1])) then
        tsk.stage = 2
        return "complete"
    end
end

try monkey patching the functor to this @cerulean mantle

cause i think it will fix it

you might need to DLTX the yan_stalker_sakharov_psi_helmet_upgrade section to add this too:

stage_complete         = 2

[cerulean mantle]

Hey, is it possible to compare game time and the save_ctime(db.actor,"yan_stalker_sakharov_psi_helmet_upgrade",game.get_game_time()), and if game time was save_ctime(db.actor,"yan_stalker_sakharov_psi_helmet_upgrade",game.get_game_time()) + 2592000 and above, it proceeds to next?

[quasi narwhal]

I think so yea

[quasi narwhal]

thats what i meant with this

[lunar nimbus]

i dont think u can do arithmetic on save_ctime ;]

u need to do it on game.get_game_time() which is u cant do arithmetic because its not number

[cerulean mantle]

f = save_ctime then

would it work?

[quasi narwhal]

no no, the return type isnt the time

[cerulean mantle]

Another big question of mine is... how is it working in vanilla Anomaly?

[quasi narwhal]

I think you need load_ctime instead

pretty sure GAMMA touches all these main storyline quests

[lunar nimbus]

u cant do any arithmetics on either save_ctime or load_ctime, its not number

[quasi narwhal]

ok so game.get_game_time():diffSec(load_ctime(db.actor, "name")) then

[lunar nimbus]

this will return difference as number, im lost what actually needed ;p
if this then yes

[cerulean mantle]

YES!

[quasi narwhal]

yeah thats what he needs

[cerulean mantle]

Now if this difference is more than 2592000, then it proceeds to next.

[lunar nimbus]

just find where this comparison is in vanilla game and add +2592000 to it

if (gt == nil or game.get_game_time():diffSec(gt) >= tonumber(p[1])) then here, didnt see its already found above ;p

make it
if (gt == nil or game.get_game_time():diffSec(gt) >= tonumber(p[1]) + 2592000) then

[cerulean mantle]

What does gt==nil mean?

[quasi narwhal]

if no ctime was previously loaded to that name

probably a safety check for the diffSec call

[lunar nimbus]

or even easier change where p[1] is set, i was a bit busy but have 5 mins now, give me a sec

yes changing status_functor_params = 172800 ; 2 days should do it
u are just probably dltxing wrong file

as i said earlier u need to dltx the one that includes this file, which is task_manager.ltx

make a mod_task_manager_something.ltx
and add

![yan_stalker_sakharov_psi_helmet_upgrade]
status_functor_params = 2592000

[cerulean mantle]

I even changed the original file and loaded it at the bottom of the load order. It didn't work sadly. no matter what number I put in there.

[lunar nimbus]

did u load after taking quest or whenever it starts?

try on new game

[quasi narwhal]

I'm pretty sure the functor is fucked

[cerulean mantle]

Yeah... that's exactly what I'm fearing: needing a new game.

I've edited the script for 100 seconds.

To see if it works

[lunar nimbus]

well if something is already set and u change after obviously changes are not gonna be applied already ;p

[lunar nimbus]

looks fine

[cerulean mantle]

I think something in GAMMA makes it to skip lots of quests and jump directly to good psi helmet ready.

[lunar nimbus]

could be 🤷‍♂️

[cerulean mantle]

There's no bad psi helmet. No bad to good psi helmet, no good psi helmet upgrade free, no nothing.

[lunar nimbus]

its why we mod without addons ;]

[ashen totem]

Hello I have a question. Does anybody know which mod adds these type of repair kits? I have been rebalancing the repair items for my liking but i couldnt find the values pertaining to these items. I have looked at the obvious .ltx files but i couldnt find them.

[cerulean mantle]

I spent the 3 previous hours inspecting GAMMA modlist for something that might check it. To no avail.

[lunar nimbus]

u can find it in debug and see green name, then ctrl+f in all ltxs

or just try to find its name (the one on ur screenshot) find it in xml, see the xml node "id" and then find this "id" in ltxs ;p

[ashen totem]

ok thanks will try that

thanks for the quick response

[cerulean mantle]

Which part you want to rebalance? The threshhold, or the amount?

[ashen totem]

both

and the price aswell

[cerulean mantle]

lemme

[quasi narwhal]

local gt = game.get_game_time()
local quest_gt = load_ctime(db.actor, "yan_stalker_sakharov_psi_helmet_upgrade")
if (quest_gt and gt:diffSec(quest_gt) > 2592000) then
    return
end

what happens if you add something stupid like this on the very beginning of the give_player_good_psi_helmet function? not sure what a void return would do there

[lunar nimbus]

is "yan_stalker_sakharov_psi_helmet_upgrade" already exist at this point?

[quasi narwhal]

it should unless GAMMA doesnt fire the other callbacks lmao

[lunar nimbus]

dialogue will be there but wont do anything, also this function will return but the rest from this dialogue will still be executed (which will break everything xd)

[cerulean mantle]

These are all the gun kits

[lunar nimbus]

or maybe not, the only extra is helmet dialogue will do nothing (but will still exist which will look weird) and will open route for free ;p
action with route is not a big deal tho

[cerulean mantle]

I got a CTD

[quasi narwhal]

fml i've put () wait a sec

[cerulean mantle]

Oh silly me, forgot to add ) at the very end to close

[ashen totem]

i think i already found and set those up but it doesnt have the other values so im still searching, but if i can just add the values to that file ill go ahead and do that

[lunar nimbus]

its really as simple as changing ltx number, if that doesnt work then gamma does something somewhere, no real point to keep guessing

[cerulean mantle]

Yep, there are DLTXs. If you know the parameter, you can just add in parameter then = number, and the game will read those instead.

[cerulean mantle]

It's exactly this.

The ltx number doesn't do shit.

[ashen totem]

ok thanks

[cerulean mantle]

Lemme try again :D

[quasi narwhal]

yeah but thats the point, its GAMMA

so you either find where that was changed or workaround it

[cerulean mantle]

Why the fuck does windows open a new text document in a new tab?

[lunar nimbus]

i dont have gamma to help with that ;[

[cerulean mantle]

Okay, fogot to put a then in there

[quasi narwhal]

just copy this brother man

I use VSCode with a Lua LS, its already syntax checked lol

[cerulean mantle]

🙏

[lunar nimbus]

u are returning when difference is more, u want to return when its less ;p

if difference from start time and current time more than 2592000 it means that 2592000 time has passed and function should execute

[quasi narwhal]

oh yeah, its < cause its an early return

either way, if my guess is right the void return will just do nothing but at least should work

so you can code whatever u want before that return i guess

[lunar nimbus]

final dialogue will still be there and will do nothing (before time diff) without telling player what he did wrong

it will look like a bug ;p

but if its for personal use its ok

[cerulean mantle]

I think it just worked.

[quasi narwhal]

ayy what did it?

[cerulean mantle]

I'm sending the result as a vid

if (quest_gt and gt:diffSec(quest_gt) > 2592000) then I write this but with a < rather

@quasi narwhal @lunar nimbus

This was with a difference of 25 rather than 2592000

So the shorter wait time is normal

[quasi narwhal]

yeah, the only problem is the dialog

cause it will still give u the success one

what if you instead put that whole if in the actor_has_good_psi_helmet_task_completed function?

function actor_has_good_psi_helmet_task_completed(a,b)
    local gt = game.get_game_time()
    local quest_gt = load_ctime(db.actor, "yan_stalker_sakharov_psi_helmet_upgrade")
    if (quest_gt and gt:diffSec(quest_gt) < 2592000) then
        return false
    end
    local tsk = task_manager.get_task_manager().task_info["yan_stalker_sakharov_psi_helmet_upgrade"]
    return tsk and tsk.stage >= 2
end

[lunar nimbus]

yeah this should make dialogue not appear until time is up

[quasi narwhal]

better than have him spamming the successful one i guess

you could change the text on the XML
instead of "Is it ready?" to something like "Are you done with this shit you old lazy fuck?"

[lunar nimbus]

can keep first function u posted and change

<text>yan_stalker_sakharov_npc_psi_helmet_2_3</text>

to script text, whereas if time is up he tells u "yan_stalker_sakharov_npc_psi_helmet_2_3" and if not then some ur string ;p

[cerulean mantle]

I made it so they actually have to pay an Electronics company 300k for a PCB to filter out a harmful frequency, but since the company is outside the zone, it will be ready in 1 month.

And 200k for the missing equipment compensation.

[lunar nimbus]

<script_text>some_script.some_func</script_text>

and then in some_script.script

function some_func()
    local gt = game.translate_string

    local quest_gt = load_ctime(db.actor, "yan_stalker_sakharov_psi_helmet_upgrade")
    if not quest_gt then return end

    return game.get_game_time():diffSec(quest_gt) < 2592000 and gt("yan_stalker_sakharov_npc_psi_helmet_2_3") or gt("something_something_else")
end
``` will look like this, can even put how many days left in string xd

[quasi narwhal]

it would make sense if he said "It will be ready in approximately 1 month." and you only had the dialog option back in 30 days

who the fuck would come back constantly bothering the dude

[cerulean mantle]

True

I think I can make a new quest that goes in one stage to remind you that the helmet is ready.

[ashen totem]

Ok, So I'm writing this if anybody comes searching with the find bar for the same thing I'm searching for. The files pertaining to the values of "Type X Weapon Repair Kit" items are added with G.A.M.M.A Economy. Unlike other repair related items they are NOT under items_repair.ltx. Instead they are seperate under configs file named as mod_system_GAMMA_xxxxx.

[cerulean mantle]

Yep, it's DLTXified!

@quasi narwhal

I don't know how to thank you

[quasi narwhal]

glad it worked bro

[misty mulch]

yeah, those are DLTX files

this is how you modify config files without doing a complete file replace, which is much better. that way multiple mods can modify the same config without forcing you to manually patch/pick one version over the other

[cerulean mantle]

DLTX is a godsend.

[surreal gust]

yeah

[ashen totem]

yeah it truly is a godsend but i have a question about that. im not very caught up with the current modding scene of anomaly but from what i've seen dltx is still not as popular with the modders as it should've been. Is there a reason for that?

[surreal gust]

the same way the crash logs give you so much valuable info

that you 100% know what's the problem

and totally not have any issues at all

[random fulcrum]

not as popular?

is bro coming from bizarro earth?

[surreal gust]

i wanted to kms because the crash logs didn't give me any valuable info

other x-ray forks did

dltx is ok

[surreal gust]

dltx is popular

just because the mod title doesn't include "dltx" in it, that doesn't mean it doesn't use dltx

[random fulcrum]

besides there's people that like to maintain a level of compatibility with the vanilla engine

workaround for some things dltx have been developed with scripts in the past

think trader/workshop/loadout autoinject

the disconnect between current anomaly (even vanilla) and desolation is so big that i honestly think modded exes should be enforced

[surreal gust]

i also like the fact that some people think if a big mod for stalker doesn't use modded exes or isn't open-source, it's garbage

yeah, but does modded exes have 969595+ optimizations, new features and qol stuff for mod-makers, and more?

[random fulcrum]

lots of shit

i've also yet to see someone that isn't subhuman throw shade at desolation just because it's closed source

[surreal gust]

and it doesn't really matter if it's closed source

most mod developers are fine with giving up their source code or assets if you ask them nicely

[lethal dirge]

Isn't desolation closed source because in the past the dev's had bad experiences with people making pull requests?

Don't remember if it was that or something else, but, good enough reason as any

[random fulcrum]

idk really

still would want to close source a project that huge to not have shitty people stealing it

mainly vasyans

[lethal dirge]

Yeah, but most people see not just letting your entire code hang out as a dick move, for some reason

But also to be fair, feels like 90% of all the shit I've ever done has been stackoverflow copy and paste with some flavor added

So I get it

[lethal garden]

Guys, Im trying to edit the stats of some helmets, adding a DLTX entry doesnt seem to be having any effect, advice?

[random fulcrum]

another dltx edit of the same sections is mogging your priority

check for files

dltx is loaded alphabetically after the name of the file you're overriding

[lethal garden]

Thank you

[lethal garden]

Can anyone tell me how i can configure Soulslike to where i keep magazines upon death?

[stiff forge]

I am trying to add alt aim to the mp5, yet upon loading the game it is impossible to change to the alt view by pressing "V"; here's the code:

![wpn_mp5sd]
use_alt_aim_hud = true

![wpn_mp5sd_hud]
        aim_hud_offset_alt_pos           = -0.0088, -0.030707, 0.066706
        aim_hud_offset_alt_pos_16x9      = -0.0088, -0.030707, 0.066706
        aim_hud_offset_alt_rot           = 0.022133, 0.06486, 0.501051
        aim_hud_offset_alt_rot_16x9      = 0.022133, 0.06486, 0.501051

The DLTX file has like 5 "Z" in it.

In the hud editor, the alt position values are set to 0 at the start of the game.

[stiff forge]

Name of the file is: mod_system_zzzzzzzz_altaim.ltx

[stiff forge]

I am genuinely a fucking dumbass.

The file wasn't in "configs".

[analog jungle]

What type_zoom = is used ? ak monolit 2.0. UBGL

[lethal garden]

Is this Weapon default in gamma? I love that red dot for the GL aperture.

[analog jungle]

Yep

[solemn marlin]

Do you guys know which file that handle crafting recipes? I want to try add my own

[surreal gust]

like monoshket

I'll release the sources of my map when it's done.

[cerulean mantle]

Guys, I made this, it works but it keeps working until eternity, showing me I have a new mission every 2 seconds.

How can I make it to run only once?\

Can I make a public thing, like public a = 0, then do
function actor_dont_has_psi_helmet(a,b)
if (a = 0) then
task_manager.get_task_manager():give_task("yan_stalker_sakharov_money_for_psi_helmet_good")
return end
return not actor_has_psi_helmet(a,b) and a = 1
end?

Nah, CTD

[lethal dirge]

Do you get a new task every 2 seconds or does it just say "mission updated"?

[cerulean mantle]

Nah, new task. New mission: Fund the psi helmet project, it fades out but fades in right back, again and again and again. And log says the task exists

[lethal dirge]

Where are you defining the function? Cause it sounds like you're running it in the normal game loop (the way that tasks check if you've reached an area or something) rather than just checking it once on game start

[cerulean mantle]

The function is a vanilla function, I just added the task_manager bit. dialog_yantar.script

Now I'm making it this way

[lethal dirge]

Fairly certain that function checks every so often and is used to see if you take psy dablage at MM/BS or not

Correct me on that if I'm wrong, I haven't actually looked at it

[cerulean mantle]

fml

[lethal dirge]

Would it be possible to just implement a
if tsk.stage = 0
return

That way every time it checks and sees that the stage for the task is 0 it just returns rather than readding it?

Tossing out ideas here, haven't actually done enough with the tasks to give you "proper" advice, sorry

Another idea could be checking for completion of the psy helmet task, rather than checking if the psy helmet exists at all

this could be useful, possibly?

Could do something like this ->
Task gets given automatically at some breakpoint

Checks every so often with a function wether the task for psy helmet is completed or not
if completed, move to stage 2/3/4/whatever, if not return

[cerulean mantle]

Imma try that :D

I'm reading the anomaly modding book also

[lethal dirge]

ditto

[cerulean mantle]

GRRRRRRRRRRRROKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol

[cerulean mantle]

FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lethal dirge]

Very good

[empty wyvern]

grok_bo took a day off of my life

[cerulean mantle]

Same :D

[empty wyvern]

hopefully this makes it in soon so we won't have to think about it anymore https://github.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA/pull/290

[slow bolt]

just overwrite the entire script like a chad

[empty wyvern]

i mean either overwriting it or recalculating shit.power seems like the only consistent way to get it right now

[slow bolt]

just remove the zeroing

that requires overwriting basically the entire script

fun

[empty wyvern]

yep 😄

[lethal dirge]

lmao grok defuckulator

Everywhere you look in this entire thing there's some sign of grok losing his mind

[cunning wigeon]

Is there a way to add custom recoil stats for RPM_mode_2?

[fathom wagon]

I did that months ago. Basically made GBO work with all mods that touch s_hit.power. Although it needs a few fixes since. And to see if Grok even puts thinks about putting it in. It has been in #1092834455300866068 limbo since

I'd have to spend some time when I wake later to make sure I add the fixes I found to the old post. Mainly crash fixes with some of the main quests and how they "apply" damage.

[empty wyvern]

did you open a PR? the last one i opened got merged pretty quick. can you send me what you did? im curious to see the other solution

[fathom wagon]

Check in #1092834455300866068 for "Re-coded GBO". Since I did the ArtiBalls and GBO merge (AtriGrok). I took a crack at taking the good parts of modifying damage from ArtiBalls and made GBO follow similar logic, while keeping all of GBO's calciulations in tact.

ArtiBalls essentially does all the damage math, then pass that in via a "SendScriptCallback" to the on_hit callbacks so that it gets modifed by all other functions tied to those callbacks. After that, you get your final damage.

So, I just made GBO do the same thing.

[empty wyvern]

yeah that would be much cleaner. i didnt want to rework anything massive i just wanted a short term fix to avoid having to maintain a fork of grok_bo logic. hopefully my pr will work as a stopgap

[fathom wagon]

Yeah, I'll take a look at it when I wake up to see about adding in the fixes, putting the file in that old #1092834455300866068 post (total necro lmao) and send it to you.

[empty wyvern]

ok thanks a ton

except for the bone grouping logic this would at least be better than what we have

        -- base anomaly
        hit_power = s_hit.power

        -- current required cloning of grok_bo logic in the defuckulator
        if grok_bo ~= nil then 
            hit_power = lookup:grokDefuckulator(s_hit, target, bone_id) or hit_power
        end

        -- suggested temporary quickfix
        if grok_bo ~= nil then
            hit_power = grok_bo.custom_bone_power[target:id() .. "_" .. bone_id]

lol i feel u

long time ago i also tried to help couple of people who were having problems with some guns and models and grok ballistic, printing everything there is painful

[fathom wagon]

I made a monkeypatch workaround for my RPG mod to have damage increases work by patching within GBO's manual call of PBA's hit functions. Would have it run the PBA functionsn for the new hit power, then have it run the logic for the RPG mod's damage increases. It would make it work w/ GBO.

How would I go about adding https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1065168136577482753 to https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1102675687917223946 ?

I saw Raven mentioned adding an extra line of text in line 171, but it does nothing my side.. The ammo does not currently use "old" values in their text anymore.. So simply adding these lines to ammo.ltx does nothing.. It goes from HP/AP/FMJ to blank..

[stiff forge]

Either a ltx file in "Arti Recipes Overhaul" or "Craft and Repair Overhaul".

[fathom wagon]

Pretty sure those aren't the names of the ammo.

You have to use the actual section name I'm pretty sure.

The variant of my .357 Monolithic (ammo_357_fmj_mono) has the section name ammo_357_fmj_mono_bad

[near dirge]

Ah okay makes sense.. So you mean that one in brackets?

Makes perfect sense now.. Lemme test it.. Thanks!

Ok so far only the ones in the ammo wheel have a name.. The rest are still blank.. The way I "solved" this issue #1065168136577482753 message is if I have the anomalous bullets in my inventory I just need to double tap Y and it will load it.. I know it's anomalous because the bullets decrease and if I unload I get them back..

I might be completely wrong here but it seems to work only with ammo wheel bullets.. Monolithic never popped up until I made the change you suggested.. So that part is fixed at least.. I think the rest will show if I can get them in the ammo wheel but I have no idea how to do that

[fathom wagon]

Did you disable "No old ammo in wheel" like I said in the sintructions?

[near dirge]

Yeah did that

[fathom wagon]

It could also be that that mod is doing the same thing that "No old ammo..." is doing as well.

Or it is whatever HUD mod you are using

[near dirge]

The FMJ version shows up so "old" ammo does show in the wheel.. I never had old ammo show up before

[near dirge]

I strongly suspected this too actually.. Thought about it the whole day

But never got to testing it because I thought there might've been a quicker/easier fix.. So I patiently waited for a reply

I'll disable my HUD and test quick

[fathom wagon]

Which HUD is that btw?

[near dirge]

EXT EGUI

[fathom wagon]

Messaged you with the update. OR you could look for my post in the #1092834455300866068 tab like I said

[near dirge]

Since strangerism also made accurate stats I'm sure he will know what to edit in his EXT of EGUI to make it show up

[fathom wagon]

Well, momo made Accurate Stats. Other people have just been updating it alongside. But if it has to do with something strangerism did since he does a lot with UI, I'd see if he know how to fix it

[near dirge]

Ah yes you're right, apologies! I'm probably thinking of the extended one or something similar.. Just saw his name when I was downloading dependencies

Well shit it was that

Still doesn't show so I at least somewhat know what I'm working with now

Monolithic and HP are the only ones that show..

Which maybe has something to do with this

There are two entries for self.init before the error_text.. The original file only had one.. So I manually added the second but for some reason the UI mod still refuses to show _bad ammo

Unless.. Hold on going to test something

I'm thinking that the first "mono" counts as _bad.. So I added two more entries to the line so that it will maybe pick up the other two

Nah nvm that made all types disappear

I'll try and figure it out tomorrow.. I need sleep

[winged sierra]

Would porting over a mod like this to gamma be hard? I remember playing with this mod a long time ago and it hasn’t been updated since CoC as far as I know. Anomaly is basically CoC though so it would be possible at least right?

Hey guys. How can I decrease the size of the font and indicators on the magazines in the inventory UI?

[normal nova]

Is it possible to see item IDs while in-game, i.e. wpn_beretta?

[fair inlet]

item spawner shows them in tooltips
also debug hud has options for equipped weapons and inventory hover

[normal nova]

Alas, I was trying to find the name of bullets and other items which don't show up in the worn-items debug hud. Yes, the item spawner shows them, but I have to manually search through a large list to match and find the ID of whatever is in my inventory.

[fair inlet]

inventory hover works for all items iirc

it's in second hud part btw
actually idk maybe it's in first

[normal nova]

I've never seen any IDs on item hover or detail menu in GAMMA. What do you mean "second hud part"?

[quasi narwhal]

you need to turn on debug

in the launcher

[normal nova]

It is on.

[quasi narwhal]

I think it doesnt work with normal items in inventory, it only shows on the item spawner

could be wrong though

[flint zephyr]

does, like, somebody made a patch for their or other's 1.5.2 ui mod to 1.5.3

oh and wanna ask about how to make universal hud fov

so random mods don't change it periodically

like, when you equip different pistols the hud fov can go crazy for some reason

[quasi narwhal]

that's probably the weapon reposition that's fucked, if all other weapons look fine that is

not much you can do besides fixing the repos. for that specific weapon (or download a mod that does that)

also, if a mod changes the FOV values through a script, you'll have to find the script that does that

and/or turn off the mod ofc

[flint zephyr]

i mean i got some weapon pack that fixed it(at least it supposed to) but this shi still jumping from my 63 to crazy 85

[flint zephyr]

my god dude that's so fucked up

[quasi narwhal]

probably a script thats doing that, iirc Blindsides had a really stupid script that'd cache your initial FOV and re-apply it everytime, even if you changed

[flint zephyr]

imagine going through tons of mods to find that one line

[quasi narwhal]

it's one of the worst decisions i've seen in a while tbh lmao

[flint zephyr]

wanna cry

[quasi narwhal]

easiest way is searching like this i guess

exec_console_cmd("hud_fov X") is probably what you're looking for

[flint zephyr]

and what bout the ui mods?

like i saw the egui got patch to 1.5.3

but i can't figure out what that patch did

[quasi narwhal]

hmmm not sure, would have to check their changelog

I didn't upgrade to 1.5.3 so I'm not sure what has been changed

[flint zephyr]

i accidently did it tbh

if there is the way to downgrade back i'll do it with pleasure but i guess there no way to do it

like why they even dropped update with 2 lines of patch note instead of include all of this in future huge update

like i understand if you wanna make small patch that just adds link to orig stalker games and all this policy stuff

but why change something that completely ruins all ui mods

didn't knew that adding 1 button can fuck your mod completely

and funny stuff about egui

they don't have any patchnotes about 1.5.3 patch

[foggy fox]

Maybe a port of radiophobia's artefacts? Just as a mod suggestion.

[quasi narwhal]

1.5.3 changed basically nothing in that regard, so their 1.5.3 update was probably just a version bump

cause they most likely didn't change anything

[flint zephyr]

actually they did

in gamedata there some thing that 1.5.3 broke in other ui mods too

they changed offsets in menu and bunch of text

and i mean, i tried so-called "reverse engineer" their patch to other ui mod

but it's just got all text missing

[near dirge]

@simple scaffold Apologies for the ping.. I've been battling quite a bit and trying to "fix" a suggestion you have given someone in the Ammo Type on HUD thread.

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message
Over here I'm trying to add _bad ammo to the HUD itself to make it work with https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1065168136577482753

I did somewhat come right, but it only shows 2 types then goes blank.. I got Monolithic to show up alongside base HP here #╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

How would I go about adding more than 2 to Ammo Type on HUD? Your original suggestion mentioned adding another self.ini line before the "or error_text", is there a way to allow 4+ types to show?

For example:

• Base (HP)
• _bad (FMJ (Monolithic))
• _verybad (HP+ (Headhunter))
• _superbad? (AP+ (Handload))

I only get 2 of them to show up.. I can make any 2 show up, but not all 4

[cerulean mantle]

It's brighter when I play idk

I can't see shit either

[fair pollen]

[simple scaffold]

the orginal UI supports at most 3 variants of 4 ammo types.

who ever added that supper bad should have made it a 4th type not a 4th variant.

ui also needs to have a flag set to show more than just 2 variants. _g._NO_DAMAGED_AMMO = false i half assume that what ever is making use of the verybad ammo would be setting that.

also you are 100% sure the gun you are playing with has all of these ammo's in it's ammo list? adding a new ammo like that superbad requiers editing every single gun, which is why no one does that.

it will not be happy with superbad no matter what. the ammo name parsing in the ammo wheel will have to be rewritten. which is again, why ppl don't do that.

TLDR either have no more than 4 types and only _bad and _verybad variations or rewrite the ammo wheel UI mostly from scratch. I'd actually just recommend a simple vertical list not a wheel

[near dirge]

The _superbad was just an example of having 4 variants.. I didn't know how else to word it lol..

But there are multiple and I can only manage to show 2.. Like this 9x18 has PST, +P, SP7, AP, and Grav

So if I add ammo_9x18_fmj and ammo_9x18_fmj_bad, only those 2 will show on the HUD regardless of the others.. AP and AP_bad

[near dirge]

I see what you mean now.. Sorry was on the phone so my above response is kinda weird.. I don't think anything uses _bad or _verybad.. But I think it uses those "slots" for the new ammo.. Like _bad becomes AP+ and _verybad becomes HP+ or FMJ+.. But you have the extras ontop of that..

The 5.56 ammo for example.. It's named something fancy like Headhunter but it shows this in brackets:
FMJ (called FMJ)
FMJ+ (called Shocktrooper [just an example])
HP (called HP)
HP+ (called Headhunter [just an example])
AP (called AP)
AP+ (called Varmageddon [just an example])

These aren't the real names, I just forgot what it was called

So some ammo can have 6 types/variants (sorry, I'm medicated and don't know the difference.. Is FMJ/AP type and FMJ+/AP+ variant?).. So if I understand you correctly, I can only have up to 4 and the rest will be blank? So I need to choose which ones I want to show?

[simple scaffold]

the section names.
ammo_9x19_fmj and ammo_9x19_ap are types (and technically the first variant of those types). while ammo_9x19_fmj_bad and ammo_9x19_fmj_verybad are the 2nd and 3rd variants of ammo_9x19_fmj

you can have at most

thing1, thing1_bad, thing1_verybad, thing2, thing2_bad, thing2_verybad, thing3, thing3_bad, thing3_verybad, thing4, thing4_bad, thing4_verybad

without having to drastically alter the UI.

[near dirge]

Ok that makes sense.. The only question is, how would I go about editing the script for Ammo Type HUD to allow thing1-4?

I did try that screenshot thinking I was smart but that just made everything blank lol.. Adding the 2nd line like you suggested a year ago only allows HP and HP+ but nothing more

[simple scaffold]

that is an answer to a slightly different question. however maybe you just nee to change _g._NO_DAMAGED_AMMO = false and that will work the way you want. IDK. ihonestly can't remember what that change was trying to do.

if you have 12 or less ammos for your gun. and you name them to fall into the above pattern all you need to do is make sure that line in the script: _g._NO_DAMAGED_AMMO = true is changed to _g._NO_DAMAGED_AMMO = false and they will all show up.

if you want an ammo list with random other names. you have to change the script more than I feel like doing right now.

again all of this requiers that the gun have the proper ammo list. if you gun only lists two ammo's nothing will get more than that to show up.

[near dirge]

I understand, thank you very much for the insight! I take it the _g._NO_DAMAGED_AMMO = false is somewhere else? I can't find it anywhere in the Ammo Type HUD script..

I'll test it by just changing that line from true to false.. If that doesn't work then it's best to just leave it as is honestly.. Patching it with that mod will be a pain

[simple scaffold]

that is in item_weapon.script with the original ammo wheel code. everything i was saying was about that one. IDK what changes may have been made by the script you have....

[near dirge]

Oh wait I think we misunderstood each other then lol.. What I'm trying to do is to add the special ammo types from ArtiGrok into that Ammo Type HUD mod.. The ammo wheel itself is working perfectly fine now.. EGUI didn't show everything so I hid the ammo_wheel from EGUI and I can see all special ammo types and their variants..

I just want to see on the HUD which one I'm using.. This essentially has nothing to do with the ammo wheel.. ArtiGrok went through that effort already

[simple scaffold]

oh that thing. i forgot about that thing. should just be a matter of adding entries to the INI. IDK send script an ini

[near dirge]

That's all it has.. The only other files is a list of ammo and an xml for location

[simple scaffold]

the list of ammo is what i ment by ini. it should be a ,ltx file

[near dirge]

This is what comes with Ammo Type HUD

The ArtiGrok one is a bit different

Because it has many

My original plan was to add each one to the ammo.ltx of Ammo Type HUD

I've already added these but only Monolithic and HP shows on the HUD

[simple scaffold]

this line should look like text = self.ini:r_value("ammo", ammo_sec,0 ) or self.ini:r_value("ammo", base_sec,0 ) or error_text

then what you are doing should work.

[near dirge]

It shows exactly that based on what you said here #1102675687917223946 message but it does not fully work.. Only 2 types show.. The rest will go blank

Wait I'm stupid

ammo_sec,0

Both of mine say base_sec

[simple scaffold]

yeah. having them both say base_sec removes the ablity to callout specail names for the bad and very bad

[near dirge]

Such a tiny piece of text missed

Testing now

[simple scaffold]

probably have been fighting with that one typo the entier time

[near dirge]

98% likely.. I just copy and pasted the original line.. I didn't see that 1 change

Yeah I'm retarded.. Thanks a lot for the help Raven and apologies for the confusion earlier.. I also noticed that I named them incorrectly.. This merge is going to take a loooong time

Handload is Suckershot apparently.. Gotta make a new list now

[summer stream]

question, how to do separate descriptions for ammo and how to make it read one?

because i have eng and rus, i have separate xml's for it but

it doesnt read one

idk what to write down here

can someone explain this to me or im just braindead

it just doesnt read one in-game

[simple scaffold]

xmls are wrong some how.

[summer stream]

ah fuck

i write down the fucking MAG in it

instead of just ap

it was ammo_357_ap_MAG

not ammo_357_ap like in script

my fault

i removed it and i'll look into it rq

so it can work properly

alright it works now

it was my fault

i dont know why but the deagle keeps using the wrong jam sound despite me writing down a way to it

the gamma one has it, and the one that comes with mod has it too

i dont know what to do

trying to add ! made it just die miserably

because it said "can_be_lowered" error all of the time

i have it disabled oleh

i have iwp

[fair inlet]

iwps is based on wstfg

[summer stream]

im gonna kms

thanks for telling me

and i can't find it there

D_catdespair

lord have mercy on my soul

do i just write down misfire there

[fair inlet]

![wpn_desert_eagle]
!snd_shoot
!snd_silncer_shot
snd_reload_misfire          = weapons\generic\pistolguns_revival4
!snd_empty
snd_draw                    = weapons\generic\pistolguns_draw
snd_holster                 = weapons\generic\pistolguns_holster

[summer stream]

ah

thank you very much for showing me the line that goes for it

now i should look in wstfg every time

[rough lion]

You guys know where I can download an addon that lets you salvage outfit upgrades like in the "Custom" modpack?

[random fulcrum]

that's a vanilla feature

[rough lion]

But that requires you to destroy your outfit and you don't get every upgrade kit back

The one in "Custom" lets you salvage every upgrade you did on the outfit without disassembling it

[summer stream]

@fair inlet also question about snd_shoot, do i write down sound there too?
and the recoil, how do i tweak it?

[fair inlet]

snd_shoot is inherited from wpn_desert_eagle_sounds
but you can dltx it in the gun section as well

idk much about recoil, I only edited enhanced recoil profiles via dltx

[summer stream]

ah, got it

thanks

but i'm kinda confused on

what does the "wpn_deagle_snd_shoot" file uses

[fair inlet]

it's a sound collection section defined in wpn_pistol_sounds

[summer stream]

damn

no like my question is
how does it written down in the folders

like
"desert_shoot"
or something else?

[fair inlet]

you can see the filepaths in the config I mentioned

[summer stream]

so it's the weapons\generic

D_catdespair

[fair inlet]

shooting sounds are in _gunfire directory

[summer stream]

so

i need to drop the sound into _gunfire\mono\desert

right?

[fair inlet]

yes, but mono is used only for NPCs

[summer stream]

ah fuck

got it

and i rename it into close_1 and etc?

[fair inlet]

yes

[summer stream]

thank you

so i tried it out

didnt change anything

That recoil animation looks so stupid

strength: 1

[random fulcrum]

too jiggly

[summer stream]

yeah i want to tweak recoil for it

[random fulcrum]

looks goofy

[summer stream]

so it will fit

but idk what to look into

[random fulcrum]

get the recoil mod

[old berry]

looks like something from cod

[summer stream]

tarkov model
animation from moddb

so i make a mod inside configs\plugins

or do i do something else?

since i want to make a separate recoil for it

so it can actually look normal with that wobbly anim

[slow bolt]

[lilac idol]

I don't think changing the amount of recoil it has will make it any better tbh

might as well make it worse

[slow bolt]

How would that fix spaghetti arms

[summer stream]

it wouldn't, but i dont care

[slow bolt]

you are basically hitting yourself in the face with that slide

[slow bolt]

[summer stream]

im not gonna get some another anim for it

and im too dumb to reanimate it

if you give me the omfs and the ogf I can tweak it a bit if you want

[summer stream]

you can try

just show me the finished result later, k?

[wheat sable]

Is there any way to add weapons to the list that can go in the knife/vision slot? Can I just go in and edit the text files?

[random fulcrum]

yeah change slot to 1

[regal bolt]

how to change NPC movement speed? I dislike how i aim and auto slow walk, but they sprint sideways and still shoot. kills immersion for me

[tawny stream]

They aren't aiming at you when they're shooting at you doing that. ~ immersion restored ~

[lunar rover]

I think its under m_stalker.ltx and search stalker_movement . i think this is what makes them zoom in and out of corner peaks

[simple scaffold]

you can change the guns individualy to slot 2 (2 not 1, by default slot 1 weapons can't go in the two big slots). or you can change the binoc_pistol_knife.script

make the line for rifle have the same numbers in the { } as the line for pistol and then every gun can go in all 4 slots.

[simple scaffold]

unless someone changed my script in gamma, slot 1 weapons can only go in knife and binoc slots. not the big gun slots. you want slot 2 that is the one that can go in all 4. or make the above edit to my script.

[onyx fulcrum]

Is there a guide somewhere explaining how to move around UI elements? I didn't see anything obvious from the pins. Specifically looking at minimap/clock positioning on screen.

[quasi narwhal]

are you having issues with a widescreen that the minimap/clock is wrongly positioned?

[onyx fulcrum]

No, editing existing positioning in 16:9

[quasi narwhal]

ok so if my brain isn't fooling me

gamedata\configs\ui\zone_map_16.xml will have the clock position

for the minimap too iirc, just need to change the X and Y coords

[onyx fulcrum]

yep got that, the bit I'm confused about is probably the easy bit. What's the min/max on the coords so I'm not placing it off screen?

[quasi narwhal]

I'm not entirely sure because the minimap is sorta weird when it comes to coords., I remember when I manually adjusted mine every 0.01 I increased already made a difference

[onyx fulcrum]

ah ok I'll muddle through and see what the changes do. Thanks for the help mate!

[quasi narwhal]

so I'd say if you want to push it to the right, and the X is like "0.093", try something like "0.096" first and see how that goes etc

I'm sure there's an easier way to adjust this, but I did it by hand and took me like 5 mins. max, so

[wheat sable]

Thanks dood!

[random fulcrum]

then it's changed

[cunning wraith]

Anyone know where I would need to edit to change if a gun goes into the pistol slot?

I think I found it tbh... If it works that was pretty easy

Now just to find the UMP

I see this was discussed earlier today, every place I find the slot data for the UMP its classified as a slot 2 gun but stil doesn't want to go in the pistol holder. Wonder what I'm doing wrong

[near dirge]

That's because you have to make it slot 1

[cunning wraith]

That's what I thought as well but then I read this:

So it made me confused

[near dirge]

I did this to a Kriss Vector mod and I can equip it to all 4 slots

[cunning wraith]

Perfect, will do that for the ump now and probably the kriss later

[shy karma]

hey, I want to replace the music tracks in the bar. Can someone guide me to the file destination in question?

[cunning wraith]

just nice to be able to play with more guns

[near dirge]

Did the same with a broken shotgun.. Counts as cheating so I disabled it later on lol.. Because I want a shotgun for mutants, pistol for detectors and mutants, assault rifle, and sniper.. And I had to make the shotgun slot 1 for that loadout.. But it's too easy then

[cunning wraith]

Eh, I can do what I need to do with my SR-25 and any shotgun

I just want some changes in guns I run

[lilac idol]

did you do this to my baby??

[near dirge]

Yeah of course.. I get that.. That's why I did it

[cunning wraith]

I have hardcore aim on and upped the pop for both mutants and stalkers, its pretty rough at times no matter what guns I have

[near dirge]

It's just too good to not use xD I use your Kriss and Glock in my main loadout atm.. Still haven't found a Roni kit but working on it

[lilac idol]

wow it's always nice to hear that people use my animations

[simple scaffold]

or gamma doesn't use my script it has some other bastardized solution instead. probably part of some UI overhaul.

[cunning wraith]

I could NOT turn in "use single handed" with the ump. Game was not happy

[near dirge]

Yeah I really love them especially with ArtiGrok.. That Glock with the .45 ones

[random fulcrum]

it's an ui solution

[random fulcrum]

change slot to 1

[cunning wraith]

Already did, got the gun in the pistol slot now, just wanted to see if I could use the detector at the same time but no matter, isn't important

[random fulcrum]

if you want to not be able to use a detector but still be able to use the small slot then you can reference this #╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

[near dirge]

Oh yeah I might have left that out.. I use EGUI.. The inventory module might change some things ngl.. Probably should've said it.. But yeah slot 1 works for me

[near dirge]

Gotta make it single handed then

I can use that Kriss with a detector

[cunning wraith]

I did that, it just got confused. Probably some animation stuff

[near dirge]

Probably I guess.. The Kriss does clip through a bit because it's obviously not meant for that.. But we roll with it

[cunning wraith]

Yeah somethings funky, if I try to pull out the detector it does nothing. If I then change to a different gun it just cycles back to the ump after a second. I have to put the ump away manually and then the detector pops up which in turn lets me put it down and then everything is normal again. I guess I'll live with that until I get the vector lol

[shy karma]

[near dirge]

What mod is that UMP in? Or can you show me the directory of the ltx?

Oh shit.. Okay lemme see what I have then lol..

GAMMA UMP Position looks like the main one so it overwrites everything anyway

[cunning wraith]

aaaah I learned something new with MO2 now, thanks

[near dirge]

Loading in now

[near dirge]

So it looks a bit wonky because like I said it shouldn't be in that slot but the transitions work fine at least

[shy karma]

ok seems like the files in question are inside anomaly's own .db0's, any general guide on how to crack them open and make a mod for mod organizer based on changes?

[cunning wraith]

What the heck did I do wrong then.... Hmmm

[near dirge]

I just went into the w_ump45.ltx and changed slot to 1 and single_handed to 1

[cunning wraith]

Uhm, now it works? after I turned "single_handed" to 0

[near dirge]

Maybe it's my UI addon..

[cunning wraith]

I'm using Enhanced GUI as well

[near dirge]

gg then xD this is too advanced for me I just know it works

[simple scaffold]

tools folder has an unpacker bat file. you want the all version to get sounds.

there is an odity with db packed files. a mod can't remove them except by replacing them with something with the same name.

[cunning wraith]

Same here, it works that's the important bit for me

[shy karma]

I just realized that bar music is indeed replaced by one of the Gamma submods, namely 5- Anomaly Radio Extended - DesmanMetzger

although the barman music sounds unfamiliar...

out of 33 files (!) it feels like it ever plays 3 different ones total..

no wonder its such a headache to listen to - something isnt working as intended (?)

[cunning wraith]

Btw, have you been able to remove the old ammo from the ammo selector wheel with EGUI?

[near dirge]

This mod did it for me.. But I completely hid EGUI ammo wheel.. I use ArtiGrok's ammo so I need it to show the old ones on the old wheel too

I still use the textures but the wheel itself is base GAMMA

[cunning wraith]

Hmm I haven't dabbled into that ARtiGrok ammo yet. But I'll try that addon

[near dirge]

Up to you yeah.. Adds a whole bunch of new and unique ammo that's quite fun for a "new" touch to the game

[cunning wraith]

I'll try it eventually. Have really only been playing this for like a week lol

[near dirge]

If you do plan on using it then you need to Right Click > Hide those files in EGUI otherwise you won't see any new ammo on the wheel even if you disabled Slugler's & Andtheherois's No old ammo in wheel

[cunning wraith]

Tbh i might just disable EGUIs whole ammo wheel and call it a day

Now that you showed me how to do it

[near dirge]

Yeah sure go for it.. You'll still have the looks (textures)

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message
Like here.. Still looks like EGUI.. But the scripts for EGUI's ammo wheel is hidden

[cunning wraith]

I don't mind if its EGUI wheel or GAMMA wheel, both looks decent for me. Only really got EGUI for the different inventory layout

Works perfectly. You've sorted out some issues for me today, appriciate it a lot!

[near dirge]

No worries!

[remote summit]

Guys, I'm confused, where is the latest version of Retrogue Additional Weapons-Ammo?

[old berry]

on the moddb

[rough lion]

Weird gunplay issue in base Anomaly. When I fire from the hip while moving, the entire bullet spread moves up and to the left of the crosshair. But when I stand still, the bullet spread goes back to the center of the screen. Any fix?

[random fulcrum]

disable weapon roll when moving in defines.ltx

[rough lion]

you mean "strafe_enabled" or...?

[random fulcrum]

that would get rid of the entire thing

remove the direction values

or whatever it was called

the weapon's orientation with those values affect the bullet's trajectory when hipfiring

even those from the hud section itself

[simple scaffold]

Stand still?

Don't expect accuracy when moving, you are not The One.

[rough lion]

It consistently deviates to the upper left even if i'm low crouching

That's not normal

get a dynamic crosshair with tracer bullets and shoot any automatic weapon while standing and walking

[random fulcrum]

dude just do what i told you

it's the direction

[analog jungle]

The animations of ubgl cause incorrect display of the number of nvg beef's tubes. Any ideas on how to fix it in the code?

[rough lion]

Okay, thank you

[quiet grotto]

Curious, anyone know of a solid mod that can bring views of the galaxy and northern lights at night?

[modest siren]

Yo. Has anyone ever tried to make a mod where Clear Sky spawns in the zones you conquer after you finish Cold's Clear Sky story mission?

I'm interested in learning some anomaly modding basics but first I'd like to make sure that idea isn't taken

Ping me if you know! I'm off to learn Lua

[analog jungle]

Is it possible to use callbacks or write animation checks?

[lethal garden]

Is it possible to increase the size of a weapons laser? When using Alt-aim with some weapons theyre barely visible.

[celest forge]

The dot or ray

[lilac idol]

scale the meshes

[remote summit]

what the weapons mod?

[cunning wraith]

That's the RAPTR shotgun that's in base gamma afaik

[slow bolt]

#╓☢stalker-chat #╟🔰☢newbies-chat

not here

[remote summit]

okay sorry

thanks

[jade viper]

hi anyone experienced with creation of a Custom Faction either by duplicating files of existing one in game files OR through console with minimal work? didn't find a mod for something like this

like I just want to copy-paste UNISG and change some of their stuff like name and faction logo patch and hostility

[near dirge]

So good fucking luck with that.. I have spoken with xcvb and a bunch of other modders.. This is technically not possible.. I mean, it is, but it's not viable doing it at all.. There is a mod on moddb that adds the SCP Foundation as a playable Faction to the game.. But they are empty (no story quests enabled, only side quests).. They have their own faction patch, trader, and armor (none of the NPCs spawn in base GAMMA so you'll need a mod other than ZCP)..

I have spent countless hours just trying to enable the 3 main storylines for them.. Where you can start in Cordon and start the questlines from Sid.. You can copy-paste UNISG, but you must have a clear 100% understanding of what each and every entry does.. Otherwise, you'll have your own custom faction spawning ontop of existing UNISG NPCs.. For example, let's say Sid is Loner.. You copy-paste Loner and change the entries from Loner to custom.. You'll then have a custom faction NPC sitting ontop of Sid..

So you can copy-paste UNISG, but you'll also have to fully remove certain ltx entries so that it doesn't clash with anything current.. And I'm not kidding, there are thousands of entries for each faction.. In multiple different files.. If you do it wrong you'll end up overlapping everything.. I gave up on the idea purely because of the amount of work that goes into it.. There's a reason why no one have made custom Factions yet, not to mention story lines for them..

If you search my name and SCP with it, you will find discussions about this in a lot of Stalker Discords.. I tried picking the brains of EFP, GAMMA, Anomaly, INC, and the author of the SCP mod..

My other suggestion, download the SCP mod and change literally everything (including textures and meshes) to your custom one.. It's the closest public mod of a new playable faction..

[jade viper]

THX MAN! SUPER HELPFUL REPLY. Now I get it why it's so hard to make custom faction stuff cuz of thousands of lines of code... Well I guess I will have to stick to original factions, maybe when I have a load of time I will test SCP for the fun of it though. Yeah this shit ain't Skyrim ffs... Also I don't really play campaign, I'm more of a Warfare fan, so 98% of fixed stuff with custom NPCs, dialogues, questlines, etc. is something I simply never even come across.

and here I was expecting something super simple with console tweaking lmao

[jade viper]

also im curious if @undone lily ever wants to create a light version of GAMMA similar to the BASE Profile of Dark Signal because minimalism and sound work of that shit is just insanely good, 1.5.3 is out so changes be coming anyways I suppose

[slow bolt]

Light? What would that even have

[simple scaffold]

Warfare only, NPC only, additional faction is a lighter lift. But still a bunch of work. A large amount of stuff has hard coded faction lists, some owhich doesn't fail nicely when unknown faction encountered .

And the faction relation table is unable to be edited with DLTX so compatibility with other faction or even mutant adding add-ons is a nightmare.

[jade viper]

sad face

[jade viper]

go play BASE Profile of Dark Signal you'll know but its core Anomaly version is 1.5.1

[slow bolt]

I aint gonna play old ass modpack

Just tell me what do you mean by light gamma

It's already light

[simple scaffold]

Its enough work that unless you are doing it as part of a big story expansion like sin or unsig, where the faction setup is just one part of many, it probably isn't worth it.

[jade viper]

yep sucks that it's complicated

[jade viper]

light gamma = like base profile of dark signal but base profile of gamma in this case (top visuals, textures, sound, super important stuff like recoil but core minimalistic anomaly experience, so nothing like mags, crafting system, f*cking psy fields etc.)

[jade viper]

your loss

[simple scaffold]

Seriously, magazines are so pointless, what is the point in "realism" in a game about magic rocks

[slow bolt]

Mags don't come default.
What you described isn't even gamma but free anomaly mods

Gamma is about the crafting and the hobo survival

So light gamma would be the opposite - all the crafting and economy without any graphics

[quasi narwhal]

isn't light gamma just gamma in easy/tourist
