Disclaimer: I'm not attempting to slander anyone else's hard work, this is just my opinion, which I feel that I must vent about. I get so excited over Weapon Packs when I see that they've been released, and once I finally stumbled upon them in-game, I find myself sorely dissapointed or disgusted, dont get me wrong, in the photos I've provided, these are mostly BEAUTIFUL weapons that I can tell hard work went into, only to be rendered (i.m.o) an eyesore, by either: absolutely horrible hand positioning, or an overly odd or unsaturated color/texture map (i.e the 'SA58 new' or the 'g36ka4_rwap)

#

The others, like the EFT vsk94 and sg553_rwap, plagued by whatever hand model was implemented into the ogf (dont get me started on the LEWD FAE set)

#

Is there nothing that I can change within the LTX to change the hand-positioning? Or do I have to edit the OGF myself?

#

In my mind, its hard for me to see how a creator decided some of this was satifactory, but to each their own, they did a wonderful job, I can love these rifles, but its hard.

celest forge

It's on in the OGF files, it's in the OMF files

Since those are the animations

Are you aware if this includes ALT position aiming? I assume it does from you saying above "ADS is ADS" but just want to confirm.

#

If I wanted to change some weapon stats using DLTX do I just make a new file with sections starting with ![wpn_gun-name-here] and specific settings below that? Is the filename important? I've seen a lot of zzzzz's in other mods' ltxs. What about descriptions in xml, same rules apply?

Anyone with knowledge of the SDK knows if it would be possible to recompile only the way.part for NPC's waypoints?

#

The actual file is basically a text file so it's possible to manually modify entries and add stuff there, but if possible I'd like to use the SDK

Funny question

#

Could it be possible to port FSR into anomaly?

The AMD frame gen? Unlikely as it would require the Anomaly devs to do so

I've heard its possible to add the early fsr

#

Not 3, but fsr 1

I know its available through reshade

I wonder if it could stabilize my fps further on harsh modpacks like custom

It would be funny if it worked on fsr 3 though

I dont understand how you can make a beautiful rifle like this and go so low-effort on the hand animation\positioning.

took me 5 minutes to re-configure it into this, which I find more suitable.

faint sable

faint sable
#

it depends on what hand mod the user uses, I used that one hand mod that isn't thap

#

also every hand model is different, one model can fit it while another won't

fair canopy
#

i wish we had better hands than thap

#

old dog is.. ok

faint sable
#

it's also just preference, I couldn't care how the animator holds the gun, so long as the gun plays how it should

fair canopy
#

idk why thap decided to use gorilla hands

faint sable

idk either

it's also not easy to make new models for hands

I was inspired by those Stalker radio playlists in youtube and I was wondering if I can create a separate radio channel mod not a playlist, Filled with news from the outside of the zone, podcasts and other music

Kinda like those old school vietnam era radio stations that also gave advice to new soldiers.

This radio station I envision it to have podcasts like this:

#

Is anyone aware of an existing mod that would make it so that woefully underpowered stalkers wouldn't initiate conflict with the player character?

My thinking comes from a UNISG run I'm currently wrapping up, in a full Nosorog, covered in mutant pelts, toting crazy weaponry, stalking through Cordon to have a peaceful conversation with someone, and lone bandit rookies take pot shots at me with broken TOZs from fifty meters away, with literally zero chance of killing me, in a fight they initiated. It's suicide.

So maybe a mod where this lone bandit wouldn't off himself, but maybe run back to another camp to get a ton of help, or ensure that they are hunkered down and ready, etc. Or at least not initiate the fight, and stay peaceful if it seems that I am.

Does this sound like a mod anyone is aware of?

celest forge
#

I dont think that exists, no?

quasi narwhal
#

I don't think something like that exists currently, not that I'm aware of no
It's a cool idea, you could define what makes an NPC "powerful" enough by many factors I believe

naive snow
#

It wouldn't stop you from doing doing the inverse if you were broke and starting out and saw a crazy equipped unsig, you'd try everything to kill him for that juicy loot.

orchid plume
#

That doesn't make it a smart move, even though of course we'd all try it.

naive snow
#

Then just imagine that the others are doing the same thing

orchid plume
#

I don't think I'd try it on an Ironman run.

#

And if we imagine for the sake of immersion, NPCs are all playing ironman 😛

naive snow
#

You're fighting bandits that have nothing to lose, nowhere to return and dangling a golden carrot in front of them

#

Considering you can murder exo's with buckshots to the head, why wouldn't they try the same, a lucky shot in the chink of the armor

quasi narwhal
#

what Burn is trying to say is that if he was in the zone himself IRL, he'd shoot a bandit in a exo no remorse whatsoever Chadge

quasi narwhal
naive snow
#

A fucking freak accident of an arrow going through a visor slit

#

Imagine looting a full armor plate as a peasant, the cash you'd make off selling that thing. You'd be living worry free for a long ass time

bronze silo
#

I forgot i was making this back in the day for a DayZ stalker server.

naive snow
#

It's pretty much the same thing with those dumb bandits. They kill one another over an artifact and some loot all of the time. Wild to imagine they wouldn't try to fuck up some exo looking guy by whatever means they can. Also they don't know that the exo guy isn't a blood thirsty maniac that shoots first and asks questions later. I'd much rather take the first shot in a land where everyone and everything is out to get you

quasi narwhal
#

Even if that'll take their life

#

now, one thing a mod could do is make weaker squads be more prone to stealth ambushes rather than going all guns blazing

naive snow
#

Or firing warning shots even/screaming at you to back off

quasi narwhal
#

cause that would create the diversity of guerrilla warfare vs CQB with both sides shooting 7.62x39 or smth

quasi narwhal
naive snow
#

Good luck finding anyone willing to mess around in the ai logic tho. That's forgotten knowledge

quasi narwhal
#

oh yea no, you'd probably be better off learning sumerian with online material

#

probably has more content than Stalker's AI code KekSkew

#

I think one thing that should be taken into consideration too is companions/squads, in the sense of like
Even IRL, no matter how geared the guy could be, if he's by himself and there's a squad of 4-5 bandits, u know for sure they think they're in an advantage

#

purely because of the outnumber

#

imagine if you rolled up with 2 more companions, all fully geared , and that caused groups of weak bandits to run away in fear KekSkew

#

idk if that'd be more funny or pathetic

quasi narwhal
orchid plume
#

Agreed, completely. My thinking was even if he were to attack me, at least get backup. Something in ALife and all the Warfare must have the ability for squads to call for actual backup that other squads will actually move to intercept in good time. I'm just spitballing, I'm no coder or modder, so I have no idea what kind of mess that would be.

quasi narwhal
#

since the very first game, if your group outnumbers the other, the other will always run in fear
unless you have 15 peasants and the other group has 5 elite knights for example

quasi narwhal
orchid plume
#

Yeah, if the fight is absolutely unwinnable, and you don't have your back to the wall, go get some backup.

quasi narwhal
#

the best you can do is learn Lua, reverse engineer a few mods/unpacked scripts that change AI behavior and go from there

orchid plume
#

I'm wondering if it could be simplified to something like stalker rank, with a huge difference between parties (Rookie sees a hostile Veteran squad) they automatically treat them as something like disguised?

#

Whenever I'm disguised, pulling a gun out by accident is almost always going to be a break, that triggers aggression, and obviously any actual hostile behavior towards them would break the "disguise" instantly, and they wouldn't be left helpless like an allied stalker.

#

Again, spitballing. Just wondering if that may bypass messing with AI settings at all, and jank your way around it

If someone has models that are rigged what does the person creating the in game animations for anomaly need to be proficient in terms of software to use, possible files needed from anomaly, and format does it all need to be in?

I guess what I’m trying to ask is what are all the things that need to be accounted for in order for it to only need audio sounds plugged in before being coded into a mod.

naive snow
#

Well blender, pavelblend, basic scripting to plug in your anim and play them for in-engine testing. Ogf, Omf are the formats you need.

remote venture
#

@naive snow Thanks so basically they can see a video sample of current animations in game and just be made aware of the programs that need to be used. An installed anomaly for testing, and the files be in Ogf/Omf format. This about right?

naive snow
#

Well you still need the hand rig and be aware of the particularities of animating for xray

#

If you're trying to get someone from fiver or whatever to animate some models for you, best of fucking luck with that

remote venture
#

I suppose it’s because it’s an old engine and people being more into unity engine

It's so different from Unity or unreal that it's not even funny

So gun loadouts for NPCs are defined in the NPC_Loadouts_"faction".ltx but how would you go about balancing items found on bodies too? Like more chances for Ecolos to have anti rad or artifact stuff, bandits having more booze and porn mags, generally cranking up the number of vinca since it's the basis of so much fucking stuff

#

Would that be done in the ZCP stuff?

#

Ah is it all done in death_items ?

empty hatch
#

where can i find the run/sprint speed configs? I used a mod that gave me infinite sprint somehow i don't know what these values are from the config of the mod it persists even after removing.

Screenshot_2024-10-29_172918.png
#

or does anyone know the default values of actor/actor condition?

naive snow
#

Check how Grok's Gotta Go Fast does it I guess

empty hatch
#

Ok cheers bro i'll take a look

naive snow
#

So if I'm reading death_items.ltx right and understanding it with death_generic.ltx, things like antibio_sulfad right now can only drop from mutants in pact of 2 with a 2 percent chance, no stalkers drop them in any amount, otherwise it's from the treasure manager for stashes and traders. Yet it's a Tier 1 drug for crafting a bunch of the higher drugs. Also Vinca with a base drop chance of 0.00001 as base and a 1% chance for most of the factions is silly.

#

Would anyone know how the progression difficulty affects the drop chances too?

empty hatch
#

i checked gotta go fast, both that and gotta go also slow have been made redundant in MO2 by agressor reshade?

naive snow
#

Why would a speed script be affected by a reshade preset?

#

Also Agressor Reshade is in the Disabled section for a reason

empty hatch
#

I moved them below aggressor and they wasn’t redundant no more so I thought that was the issue.
I don’t know what to do? Is there a way I can update the mod pack and keep my custom mods/settings but get my default sprint back?

#

Removing does nothing and I don’t know how to change the values for stamina I know the speed but I still don’t know the defaults I tried groks and it made me slower so idk

naive snow

i still have it

Remove zoom on right-click (ADS):

Mod Config Menu -> Free Zoom -> set ADS multiplier to 1
Remove FOV change on equipping pistols:
Mod Config Menu -> Free Zoom -> set pistol multiplier to 1
Sidenote: Check your HUD and HUD FOV sliders in Settings>Visual>Basic and set them back to default if Free Zoom messed them up.
Default values are as follows:
FOV: 80
HUD FOV: 0.65

Older version worked for me. FOV problems are solved after doing the !nozoom thing.

If the idea works, I'll probably do it for a V2 or something

quasi narwhal
naive snow
#

I just felt like certain items should craftable without basic tools, because half the time, lets say you start without a flashlight/head lamp, by the time you get basic tools, you have enough money to outright buy them at your trader. There's no incentive to craft them basically ever. Or things like the emergency repair kits, you either buy them or you're fucked until you get tools.

This should work

#

Adding stuff in the middle is not possible

Or well, you just need to copy the entire function but it might need dependencies… so it depends on the function

naive snow
#

Can you modify things are are self. ?

#

The function function UIWorkshopCraft:__init(xml, owner, x, y) super(xml, owner, x, y) has a self.recipes_items = {] that needs to be modified

#

I'm guessing the reason why my monkey patch is not working is because it's part of a class?
class "UIWorkshopCraft" (CUIScriptWnd)

Try inheriting the base class and adding a function to set recipe items

# quasi narwhal hey what should i do, call it guerrilla patching <:shrugEg:1133689988148645888>

that is actually how it got its name. from Guerrilla Patching (because it was used by third parties to modify software in ways the designers didn't provide an API for, fighting back against the lack of the API) to Gorilla patching to monkey patching.

what you can do is try and remember what the guide teaches, the section on Patching Functions has an example of how to patch a function to do new thing A under one condition and the old thing unde all others.

tranquil coral

cerulean mantle
tranquil coral
cerulean mantle
#

You can reverse engineer a helmet from here based on the helmet you're creating. For example, if it's a gasmask, then [helm_respirator_gp5] is the section you might want to look at. Visual is for when the item is on the ground. Class is E_HLMET. inv_name and inv_name_short are for inventory name (no idea about short). You have to make an XML in text, and then address its section here. (make an xml file and have a section called st_helm_custom for example)
Description is the item description you'll see when you hover over it (tooltip)

kind is 0_helmet since it's a helmet. Cost and inv_weight are for cost and inventory weight. Protection are stats. Immunity, I don't know. (I guess damage reduction?)

Take a look at Unjam and Reload on the same key scripts, search in all files for similar functions or how the key is being set

Or check the Double tap F inspect disabler or whatever

cerulean mantle
cunning wigeon
naive snow
# cunning wigeon what? i am confused can you be a bit more clear (sorry if i didnt understand you...

There's a mod in Gamma called "G.A.M.M.A. Unjam Reload on the same key" open the mod, search in the script files to find where the same key is being set for the reload and unjam. That should give you an idea of how a "key press" is written in lua for the xray engine. You can then search through all files in your mod folder to find where the keypress for your Inspection or whatever is happening, that'll help you find the script

cunning wigeon
#

sorry again for the missunderstandings

Whatever just find any script that writes a keybind and use that to search through your own mods, doesn't matter

slow bolt
cunning wigeon

Removing inspect is a very weird request, considering its a nice feature.
all you have to do is make inspect not trigger in the script

Where did you even get inspect_weapon?

cunning wigeon

Is that the mod you're running?

cunning wigeon
#

no it was one of the mods i tried running trying to rebind the inspect to a different key it didnt work as inspect still was binded to unjam but also it worked on the new key that i binded that inspect to

naive snow
#

I'll be frank at this point I have no idea what mods you're running or what your MO2 even looks like so any form of troubleshooting is hopeless

#

Inspect_weapon is most likely a function you'd only find in the this mod that you linked, searching for it won't actually help you

cunning wigeon
#

oh okay however i did find a file called axr.options (and the mod that is causing the problems with inspect is wpo and bas together)

search for it in the GAMMA UI mod

then just change the path to an image

searching for the file name in the GAMMA UI folder (or *.xml files in it) should lead you to it

#

mainmenu xml some shit

north coral
#

is it ui_mm_main_16.xml

quasi narwhal
#

there's probably a "ui_background_new" being referenced in that file

north coral
#

yeah yeah I see it, any new main menu replacer mod I install crashes me to desktop maybe because of that

quasi narwhal
#

just throw another dds file (like the original one) in the same textures ui folder (same directory where the _new file is) and change the path on the xml file to the new one

north coral
#

but I see now that specific file is already overwritten by the new replacer mods I tried installing and I always get an error like this

Yeah the thing is I deleted that _new file so everything goes down the gutter I think, so I will just default my modlist and try those replacer mods after

What I'm trying to do really is;
I want the R key I use for ammo check to inspect the weapon, while the script is running on the background to check ammo. I'm using mag redux and use M5 to reload. On MCM menu ammo check has an option "busyhands fix" and unchecking it used to play inspect animation some time ago. Now what it does is it just holsters the gun for a second and then shows the ammo left on the mag. I'm just trying to brute force my way into having inspect weapon key be on the same key ,"R" in this instance, while the ammo check checks my rounds xD

#

Lot of words, sorry

cerulean mantle

Download the mod One Key Weapon Control.

It does a half-reload for ammo check.

#

And if weapon has ammo check animations, it does that.

guys is setmetatable valid?

simple scaffold
# shell mortar guys is setmetatable valid?

Valid? It is a core part of LUA. If it was invalid then the language wouldn't be LUA.

It is convention to use luabind classes for OOP. But you can do it the traditional Lua way if you want.

Be careful scripts already have had their meta tables messed with by the script loader.

Also game objects and other userdata (objects created in C++) do not work with setmetatable

simple scaffold
#

So if you use meta tables in pure Lua tables that you created you will be fine. The MCM log script uses meta tables and conventional Lua OOP. (I was bored and wanted to try out the methodology)

Don't mess with script meta tables unless you know exactly how they are setup and what that means.

Messing with the meta table of luabind classes is probably a bad idea, particularly if it is a class that is meant to be passed back to the engone. Pick an OOP system and stick with it.

Userdata doesn't have meta tables to mess with, no matter how much the user data might look like a table it is not.

Tldr you don't see much use of setmetatable because luabind classes let ppl do OOP without it so they don't need to learn it. There are also a few xray specific things to watch out for if you already know Lua meta tables.

If you want to learn them I would advise staying in your own code and not messing with the meta tables of other scripts until you have a very good understanding

Fair enough, how do I modify output quantities in DLTX crafting recipes? is this even possible? Ideally, id like to adjust output on a recipe by recipe basis, and not blanket change output for something as a whole.

#

Originally, I thought that was controlled by the first number after declaring the item to be made, ex x_item_blahblah = 3, recipe_basic_0, itemx,1,itemy,1 in this instance, i thought it was 3. After reading prior messages, it appears this actually controls the tools used to craft the item. (as an aside, and im aware this is beyond anyone's responsibility here, but why isn't this documented in the anomaly craft.ltx?) Is there a way to specify output quantity without changing quantites for all recipes?

SYS_GetParam(type, section, key, default) default can be omitted. type : 0 string, 1 bool, 2 number

the inventory UI uses SYS_GetParam a lot so i use it by habit. also ini_file_ex which is the ini class mcm and mags redux uses has a similar ini:r_value(section, key, type, def) so i am used to calling one function and handing it a type number rather than calling r_string r_bool ect.

replace_section = bread

script_binding = my_script_name.spawnx

also note that the number (and the bread) in the dummy section name is only there for our convienance, it is not read and could be omited. sotring data in section names is a very bad practice so i don't do it.

Whoops! I am daft! I see what you mean now

simple scaffold
#

if all your recipies are going to be 5x then yes you could just make a hard coded number in your script.

this version gives more flexibility. since i don't know your use case i took the extra line in the ltx to give you freedom.

if you want to hard code it you can.

using self replacing dumy items can allow you to get around a number of places where the existing code only allows for one item, or maybe only one type of item. or maybe you want to replace the picture of a girl with one of 10 pictures but don't want to edit all the spawn lists. you can make that picture replace itself with a random other picture by just adding a script binder.

#

well, script_binding function. this example isn't a full binder. you don't need a full binder if the only thing you are doing replacing on spawn.

# orchid parcel I didn't put 2 and 2 together when you wrote ```local sec = obj:section()``` Cor...

yes. the system that reads script_binding and calls the function you list there passes in the game object. that line pulls out the section name for that objects definition. then we use that to read the new keys we added to the section just for this script to read. wonderful thing about item definitions is that you can shove all kinds of extra data in there. just don't accidently overwrite something important. in my own code i'd probably add my prefix to CMA rax_replace_count but clutters up the example.(and ppl just copy my example verbatim and i don't want my prefix in other ppls code, that defeats the purpose)

once in game from that new launch ooption hit f7 there is an option there to reload the system ini. that will reload the item sections. reloading a save will reload the recipies file, don't actulay need to be in debug for that.

i assume the rest of it looks something like x_tch_dummy_casing_p = 1, recipe_basic_0, prt_i_scrap,10

if you have a need for it you can use that system yourself. this exists only to load this which loads all of mags redux magazine items. making easy for other modders to add more magazines to mags redux in a way that will result in the files only being loaded if mags redux is there to do it. other wise ltx in that folder get ignored.

i mis spoke about the icon layers. you can't specifiy a texture you specify a section.

so this section is used in the icon layer section below it.

that section is added to magazine icons like [mag_ash_12.7x55_extended]:tch_mag_base,tch_mag_upgr

if you load the anomaly textures/ui/ui_icon_equipment.dds file you will see that the icon at the 53,0 grid position is just a little gear. if you made something similar in your own dds that was a 5x 10x ect you could add those icons to your dummies. the same way. this is the syntax to make an item look somwhere else for its icon dds. i would recomend using the stalker icon editor.

Hey Raven since you're here, any idea why with the commented section, it would cause the functor of the basic toolkits not to work anymore? Any of the previous toolkit which reference a function in the workshop_tool.tool_workshop lose their functor

base_tool_workshop=workshop_tool.tool_workshop
base_tool_artefact=workshop_tool.tool_artefact_craft



--[[
function workshop_tool.tool_workshop(obj)
    printf("WTF is obj:%s", obj)
    base_tool_workshop(obj)

    if (obj:section() == "leatherman_tool") then 
        return game.translate_string("st_item_use_craft")
    end
    
end


function workshop_tool.tool_artefact_craft(obj)
    base_tool_artefact(obj)    
    if (obj:section() == "leatherman_tool") then 
        return game.translate_string("st_item_use_fuse")
    end

It should be running the old functions when workshop_tool.tool_workshop is being called right?

or you need to save the value. then return it.


function workshop_tool.tool_artefact_craft(obj)
   local temp = base_tool_artefact(obj)    
    if (obj:section() == "leatherman_tool") then 
        return game.translate_string("st_item_use_fuse")
    end    
      return temp  
end

if you really need the base funciton to run every time. although i'm not sure why you would in this case.

naive snow
#

The base function is just looking through multiple blocks of

    if (obj:section() == "leatherman_tool") then 
        return game.translate_string("st_item_use_fuse")
    end
#

But your initial fix did the trick

#

The original function is like this:

function tool_workshop(obj)
--    local p = obj:parent()
--    if not (p and p:id() == AC_ID) then return end
    
    if (obj:section(itm_basickit)) then 
        return game.translate_string("st_item_use_craft")
    end

    if (obj:section(itm_advancedkit)) then 
        return game.translate_string("st_item_use_craft")
    end

    if (obj:section(itm_expertkit)) then 
        return game.translate_string("st_item_use_craft")
    end

    if (obj:section(itm_drugkit)) then 
        return game.translate_string("st_item_use_craft")
    end

    if (obj:section(itm_ammokit)) then 
        return game.translate_string("st_item_use_craft")
    end

    if (obj:section() == "itm_artefactskit") then 
        return game.translate_string("st_item_use_fuse")
    end    
    

    
end```

# orchid parcel ah okay, ill have to poke around! thank you!

i sugest icon layers because it is a very clean way to show the recipie is many items. bit of setup to make the quantiy indicator icons but once you have the dds setup and the icon layer sections adding them to the dummy items is very easy.

again if you are truly doing a one off you could just make a note in a readme somewhere. i am simply suggesting the polish to make this a system you and others could use for many things. maybe it is from maintianing MCM i just think in systems

Could you make use of the upgrade icon section to display the number of items required with an image atlas for numbers?

simple scaffold
naive snow
#

It's pretty much an icon layer already setup on most things

#

I always wondered why the tools make use of upgr_icon_path vs icon_texture

simple scaffold
#

all items can have an arbitrary number of icon_layers. just need to be an unbroken sequence of
1icon_layer
2icon_layer
3icon_layer

#

that is how the artifact containers get a littel artifact icon.

naive snow
#

Right but I mean they don't even get an icon, the whole toolkit is a scaled up upgrade icon

Hello, I have an idea for Brazilian players (like me)... I know that somehow we managed to dub the game in real time with AI, just like the Skyrim game that was dubbed in the same way in real time https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1058610 it would be a very good proposal for Brazilian players, where it would bring more modders or people who like the genre. We already have the game subtitled in Portuguese, we just need the dubbing and some adjustments in the subtitles themselves.

Pretty much like

use1_functor                             = workshop_tool.tool_workshop
use1_action_functor                      = workshop_tool.start_workshop_rudimentary

So this would look to the class workshop_tool and attempt to launch the function tool_workshop with feeding itself as the value.
which is often used for translating strings at this bit


    if (obj:section() == "leatherman_tool") then 
        return game.translate_string("st_item_use_craft")
    end
end
    ```
The second bit will launch the actual action

function workshop_tool.start_workshop_rudimentary()
local hud = get_hud()
if hud then
hud:HideActorMenu()
end
--printe("attempting rudimentary")
workshop_ui_ref = ui_workshop.get_workshop_ui(_ui1, nil, {false,false,false,false,false}, false)
if (workshop_ui_ref) then
workshop_ui_ref:OnButton_craft()
--workshop_ui_ref:ShowDialog(true)

maybe later when i upgrade to 1.5tb i do a menu

orchid parcel
#

Also what log does print output to? or is it the console?

naive snow
#

yeah or depending on how you've set it up if you use the argument -dbg when launching

orchid parcel
#

Now time to find my syntax error 😦

orchid parcel
quasi narwhal
#

that way you won't have to save and run the script every time to see syntax errors

orchid parcel
#

you have a recommendation?

quasi narwhal
orchid parcel
#

I figured there was a way to do it, I just couldn't be bothered to check lol

lilac idol
#

do you guys know what this means? i'm getting this whenever i try to export it as an ogf

image.png
#

the model doesn't even have that many vertices it has like 40k

orchid parcel
#

did you subdivide it?

lilac idol
#

wdym?

orchid parcel
lilac idol
#

i'm exporting an already existing model from blender

#

using the xray plugin

orchid parcel
naive snow
#

40k is still fucking insane for a release lever

lilac idol
#

that's just the name for the whole mesh

#

so ignore that, i'll have to cut down the vertices amount then?

naive snow
#

Or rework your UV island/mesh normals

#

You could also try the Object option of HQ export, dunno if that bypasses the vert limit

#

Any surface that doesn't share the same contiguous smoothing group will double vertexes on export

lilac idol
#

i wish i understood any of what youre sayingKekSkew

#

ill try to find my way around and see if i can get it to work

grizzled light
#

That's like BaS quality

lilac idol
#

now im curious, do you guys think it's possible to fit 40k verts in here lol

image.png
grizzled light
#

Just subdivide it for 1000 times, you should be good to go

static nebula
#

maybe if there's a million and a half duplicate vertices lol

naive snow
#

You could try to run a merge operation piece by piece to see if you have messed up duplicate vertices

#

What's even the stat count in your blender statistics?

lilac idol
#

I have turned off my pc already but it was something like 45k verts and 58k tris

#

is that what you're talking about?

naive snow
#

Then yeah your smoothing groups are messing up your vertex count

lilac idol
#

damn

#

but I've seen Tarkov models with 120k verts and they were exportable

celest forge
#

I was using an AK74U model yesterday that i shaved almost 20k tris off by just deleting some screws

naive snow
#

Did you try HQ export?

lilac idol
lilac idol
naive snow
lilac idol
#

ok I'll try that as well

naive snow
#

You are setting the type right kek1

grizzled light
lilac idol
#

nope

#

I didn't even know that was a thing

grizzled light
lilac idol
grizzled light
#

I think the guns are "optimized" a bit if you have it disabled

celest forge
#

I didnt know that was a thing either ngl

lilac idol
grizzled light
#

Actually yeah, idk if it affects people who export the guns using blender

#

I think it does something to the model if you're using something like some random .object editor

lilac idol
#

I mean if it's an option inside the plugin it probably does something idk

grizzled light
#

Compare the .ogf with and without them enabled

#

I hope you turn on High Quality Motions when you export the anims

lilac idol
#

nooo I won't listen to you mid ass animator!!

lilac idol
grizzled light
lilac idol
#

I won't once you make some good automag animations tomfoolery

#

either way you should be banned from blender!!!

grizzled light
#

Your mother

celest forge
#

The M. In Jadey M stands for Mid

lilac idol
grizzled light
#

Wahh 🤔

#

Even carlbot agrees (for some reason)

naive snow
#

Here's an example:
This cube exported with sharp edges is 8 vertices in Blender, but the OGF exported is 24

image.png image.png
lilac idol
naive snow
#

Whereas this cube with the UV all in one island has 14 vertices, the uvs are all together vs the previous one all split appart

image.png image.png image.png
#

So how you do UVs is important kinda, especially in big models

Is there an instruction on how to add a battery function to something?

#

Put it in a slot, it begins to suck up battery percentage, you put a battery in it, and it goes back to 100%.

#

I want to add Battery usage to

#

So at 0%, it stops working.

I would suggest starting research from ltx parameters of any "electric" device

How To Use Draggable Hud Editor Guide STALKER ANOMALY

Are you running 3dss?

stray trail
#

yeah

#

fuck let me guess, doesn't work if i'm using 3dss ?

#

@fair canopy does that stop me from being able to use the draggable hud editor ?

fair canopy
#

You can't use hud offset with 3dsd because that will mess up scope positions. You can add more Zs to overwrite the position if you rwakky want but then you'll have to redo every score position for that gun.

#

Instead you have to use base offset editor

stray trail
#

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/hud-offsets-editor1

this is the mod I'm using, like said in the video and everything. I got it up and running then I tried to reposition the stuff, save it the the cache dbg file, then I copied it onto a Ltx file inside of a empty mod in the folder, I formatted the file correctly and also made sure the context of the LTX file was also formatted correctly ( I made sure to add the ! ) and it still doesn't work

HUD Offsets Editor addon - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly mod for S.T.A.L.K...

Ever wanted to make a weapon reposition addon like many before? Were you also offput by the idea of adjusting every single sight the gun has available? Well, not anymore.

fair canopy
#

Did you turn the mod on?

stray trail
#

I did

#

the crap ain't crapping so I'm stumped

fair canopy
#

Is your file name correct?

stray trail
#

let me check

#

mod_system_zzzzzzzzz_Repo_for_rifle is the file name

#

it's a Ltx file

#

but I don't know why it isn't using it

fair canopy
#

Do you have it in the right folder?

stray trail
#

I put it in gamedata

#

of the mod folder

#

BRUH

#

I need a config folder

#

I'm so fucking dumb

#

thank you for pointing that out

stray trail
#

Okay even after that it's not saving

#

@fair canopy I'm still stumped

fair canopy
#

Reboot the game

stray trail
#

bet

#

shit still not working

fair canopy
#

You're saving the configs under the hud section and not the weapon section right?

stray trail
#

yes

#

yeah I got it working now

Tempted to try and create a mod to see if I can do it
No idea how to begin and have never coded anything (lol)

Idea is to create a unique "stealth kill" that happens after sneaking up undetected on someone and pressing a new input key
Sure, I could do that with a knife but the idea here is to 1. not have the knife animation play and 2. play a custom joke sound while the stalker I kill is just gone from existence

Any pointers on how to pull this off ?

empty wyvern
drifting coral
#

Damn, now that you mention it, stealth ISNT natively in the game and had to be tweaked by a mod. I guess that does make things more complicated.
Is there a way to achieve the same result without taking stealth into account ? Something as dumb and simple as "remove npc/enemy from game AND play funni sound" if you are within strike distance and press the specific button ?

naive snow
#

You can look at the npc identification script to see how they're getting the enemy id. Use that to target and execute whatever you want

drifting coral
#

This one I presume ?

#

How do you know what function does what, and how do you find other functions to use to create a new command ?

I'm guessing I gotta find how this .script file targets people, and then add something along the lines of "if players presses [key] then despawn npc and play sound" as multiple functions after

#

I'm checking the documentation in the pinned messages, but I'm not finding a "general list of all functions". Does such a thing even exist ?

#

I need to find the mod most similar to what I hve in mind and modify its script huh..

#

hmm..

empty wyvern
drifting coral
#

My bad, I must apologize. I am completely new to this. Thanks for the pointer. :>

#

Oooooh, so those are callbacks I can use to TRIGGER the function when a key is pressed ! Awesome !
Now I need to uh. Make the function that despawns the npc I'm looking at and plays a sound.

#

Can those functions be the same things as console commands you'd type in game ? I remember some of those being things you can do when looking at certain 'actors'. Maybe there's one for despawning an item/npc...

#

I need to sleep for now. Eager to see if I can succeed at this tricky puzzle.

drifting coral
#

Should I look into how to code/script in Lua for this ?

#

(I probably should shouldn't I)

wispy ferry
#

learning how to code is pretty important for coding, yes
best of luck, all I know how to mod is with DLTX edits to existing values

drifting coral
#

I was able to figure out by myself how to add a weapon to the binoculars/knife slot without any guide, simply by snooping around in the files, finding the right one and figuring out the hand/slot value I needed to edit

#

But creating a whole new function...

drifting coral
#

Wait maybe I can find the script from the game files themselves that lets you initiate a conversation with an npc, but I could change the key and the result of pressing that key

wispy ferry
#

inb4 you accidentally make it so that you just neck-snap everyone friendly you try to talk instead

is there a way to change the magazine type ? like large, medium and small in mag redux

question to people who knows, how to make some parts of mechanical sights glowing?

image.png
celest forge
#

Completely depends on whether or not the dots are a separate mesh

naive snow
#

Or just separate the current dots

lilac idol
celest forge
summer stream
lilac idol
celest forge
#

just to crash the person's game anytime the gun is pulled

summer stream
#

question, what shader do i use for the glowy dots? hmm

naive snow
#

Gotta make sure the circles are perfect

lilac idol
#

that's what i used for the g18 and it seemed fine

summer stream
#

ight i'll look in it (blatantly steals ur glock)

lilac idol
summer stream
celest forge
summer stream
#

yeah i already found it

#

thanks peepoGlad

naive snow
#

Just separate the current dot faces if they're modeled on the gun, make sure they retain the armature modifier and then assign that shader to it

summer stream
#

yeah they are modeled on the gun

#

i'll just do what you said

naive snow
#

@celest forge Are you familiar with the attachment flags for the loadouts?
; - attachment flag - default: 0 - [0 - (number of flags)] - ( 0 - no attachment, Scope +1 to flag, GL add +2 to flag, Silencer add + 4 to flag). (if it's set to "r", it will pick random attachement)
Is it really just if I want a scope, no gl, but with silencer = 5 ?

simple scaffold
#

that scope flag only applies to guns like the svt that use the old scope system not guns like the AN-94 that have multiple scopes
