Np, πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

summer stream
#

understood

glass mauve
#

Actually, i'm thinking if S2 modding would get into the same amount of content & data as GAMMA has in the next years

summer stream
#

who knows

#

maybe they will release a proper modding tool for it

glass mauve
#

From one side it's UE5 , which is super easy to edit

#

I'm not sure they would

summer stream
#

so u dont need to literally suffer trying to make it work

glass mauve
#

I was very surprised with the stability of Anomaly / GAMMA

summer stream
#

the stability is

glass mauve
#

both teams did an amazing job here. GAMMA looks like 'THAT' one stalker after all.

summer stream
#

constant 1087 (being fixed)

#

and with that it's one-threaded

#

if you want to make it non one-threaded, re-write the WHOLE fucking engine

glass mauve
#

I've felt slowdowns only in Warfare mode

summer stream
#

of course you would

#

A-Life spawns in lots of npcs

#

forces your one thread to slightly uhh
suffer

glass mauve
#

and i bet it would be a better game than S2

summer stream
#

i really wonder how it would look like

#

with that how do you port stalker to metro

glass mauve
#

I just need extra 100-150k usd

summer stream
glass mauve
#

aha.

#

What's your specialization @summer stream ?

summer stream
#

currently? none

glass mauve
#

in gamma modding, i mean

summer stream
#

mostly related to these

ok this turned out to be a lot harder than I thought it would be, guess i'll shelve it until i finish this run and can read all the modding guides.

glass mauve
#

But 4A engine requires large backend support

summer stream
#

funnily enough x-ray engine is very good at modding

glass mauve
#

Unlike UE which eh, can be built from scratch by a team of moddders

summer stream
#

you can just back track everything

glass mauve
summer stream
#

and then just
copy and paste, then adjust it

#

done

somber herald
#

yeah x-ray seems very powerful for modding, but hard. UE5 is easy to mod, but limited.

summer stream
#

x-ray uses lua

#

and it HAS some limitations

glass mauve
#

With current shaders and some geometry updates, like hd models i must same the game looks amazing

somber herald
#

i find it difficult to backtrack things without an xEdit equivalent. like just adding this stupid part to a repair list is not obvious at all.

summer stream
#

what do you mean hd models

glass mauve
#

Like new geometry for trees , cars, etc

summer stream
#

get a simple mod to modify weather, then you can adjust everything in SSS settings

#

there will be SSS 22 with much better look, sooo whatever

#

it could be anything

glass mauve
#

I wonder if some fanbase would return to Modded stalker versions now after empty vanilla stalker 2

summer stream
#

lots of them would

somber herald
glass mauve
#

I mean, the question is, if it's still makes sence to invest into modding a very old game after second part is released

somber herald
#

"what do you mean stalker 2 doesn't have 500 mods?? i'm going back to morrowind gamma."

summer stream
glass mauve
#

Yeah, i'm also this kind of person. Well we're cooking some VO generated talks with my US coleague

#

technically it was very easy to localize EN - RU - UA lines with chatgpt, with this whole XML structure

#

But now i wonder if we could combine radio chat to VO

somber herald
glass mauve
#

I totally agree

somber herald
#

can't wait to figure out how it works so I can change all the little things that annoy me, like these GOD DAMN exoskeleton frames

glass mauve
#

Yesterday he have tried generation new VO for custom quests

#

Actually it was fairly quick

#

I wonder if it would be possible to make a server -build communication with LLM generation

#

Like some games / mods already have

#

Imagine the whole radio chat be situationally-generated by AI, not having pre-scripted repeating lines

summer stream
#

that WOULD be cool, but x-ray can't really do that

#

who knows

glass mauve
#

Eh, i guess some programmers can make this without too much pain

#

IDK if they can make Xray load custom data on-the-fly

#

I saw that it compiles client before start

summer stream
#

it probably will require some adjustments to engine

slow bolt

npcs would talk via LLM over messages

Is this from stalker aomaly discord?

#

I cant enter that channel by the link provided

#

Can you share the link pls? The Moddb link is broken

slow bolt
glass mauve
#

Nope, i would need an invite link to get there first

slow bolt
#

that is the invite

glass mauve
#

That's the screenshot of the invite xD

slow bolt
#

just pointin to where to click

glass mauve
#

if you lclick on the server icon and choose 'invite people' it will give u a link

slow bolt
#

The whole reason for this is you cant invite like that

Hello guys, I needed help and could find any straight answer in other channels or sites. Is there a way to access to STALKER 2's subtitles files. I want to make some changes for my taste. I didn't like the translation of my language

slow bolt
#

Stalker 2 modding goes to Stalker 2 bin

slow bolt

#

I still dont'have access to anomaly channels, maybe its a timeout block

Pick a role. That's probably why

@simple scaffold i tried using sorting plus's ltx file but none of the settings apply. i even tried the premade one but still nothing. it always uses the default sorting when i enable it. not sure what's going on.

simple scaffold
dire barn
#

here's the ltx file i'm using and what i have for the mcm settings. it's really weird. i have ammo and ammo parts separate on the ltx file and pelts and frames in the same row as artifacts. with the ltx on, nothing is applied. with it off, the ammo and ammo parts are split correctly but the pelts and frames are still at the bottom with mutant parts.

image.png image.png πŸ“Ž sortingplus.ltx
#

with the ltx option on, ammo should be between the mags and guns. but instead it's down here mixed with the ammo parts.

image.png image.png
#

pelts and frames are correctly with artifacts.

image.png
#

with it off, ammo is correctly placed and split from parts. but pelts are back down with mutant parts.

image.png image.png
#

i don't get why it's taking specific bits from the ltx file and applying them when it's off and not applying them when it's on. it's really weird.

dire barn
simple scaffold
# dire barn <@155830872027693057> this is what i mean.

first kind override always works so your new catagoreis like faction_patch have no where to go when the it is using the mcm settings so they should go to the bottom, except:

you found a bug that has gone unoticed for years. if you uncheck the use ltx box, the whole thing gets corrupted until you reload a save.

simple scaffold
dire barn
#

i add this to line 152 or right below it?

#

also interesting that i found a bug by trying to figure out what was going wrong lol.

#

@simple scaffold should it look like this or should it go below it?

#

k

dire barn
#

@simple scaffold yeah it's just not using the ltx file. it's using the default sorting. reloading doesn't help. not sure what's going on.

i also decided to add new categories to see if any changes actually take place. i added the proper strings for the eng and rus text files but they don't appear in the mcm menu.

πŸ“Ž sortingplus.ltx image.png image.png

detailed item sorting is overriding it. girldmdead what does detailed item sorting do?

ok there we go. text is a bit wonky but that's fine. the important thing is that it works.

also, if make changes to the ltx i just need to reload my save to see them active right?

but that's only if you want to do all the work of setting up the MCM menu's instead of just doing all the work in the top part of the ltx

dire barn
#

i don't mind leaving it as is, i mostly did that to see if it was being used at all. i can just edit the gamma mtop version of the sorting plus so they're the same.

there we go. all nice looking now. SinderThumbsUp

it's mostly related to slot

you can just write the pistol slot into it

Thanks for this instruction! Unfortunately all of this was too complicated for now.
Starting with something simple, I wanted to execute some code when actor walks near any npc. Apparently, I should have used a callback/issue_event for xr_meet but didn't find any.
Would you be able to direct me in a right way?

Hello,
I would love to completely turn off weapon and outfit degradation so i dont need to repair it as soon as i scratch it etc. Is there a way how to do it? πŸ₯Ί

In vanilla Anomaly you can just repack and edit gamedata but in gamma there are a lot of folders and i dont know where to look and which of the possible .ltx is the main one that the game check. I would love if there is a easier way like to turn it off in console or edit one global script min<>max value so i can then change it in game options.

You only need to edit Actor Damage Balancer iirc

just multiply condition damage by 0

# simple scaffold someone get annoyed by my american grammar?

nah. the author made the mod by simply making a copy of every single .xml file that comes with GAMMA, and making edits to those copies. unfortunately this means even files that contain no changes at all get overwritten, which is the root of a lot of issues with that mod

Have you guys tried to make an NPC trigger conversation itself, or maybe you know an example of this?

#

Yes, he just talks without triggering a UI convesation window with you

#

I'm wondering if NPC can ever trigger a normal dialogue with player char

simple scaffold
#

so it is actor:run_talk_dialog(npc) and as far as i can tell it starts the talk UI. maybe you need actor:run_talk_dialog(npc,true) if the actor is a bit far from the npc

glass mauve
#

Hm, i wonder would it work the same way as you initiating a dialogue by pressing E (F) with an NPC, but reverse

simple scaffold
#

look into how the meet logic works for hostage. i think xr_meet might be what you want.

#

or you can just code something yourself with space restrictors as the trigger. like i said at first

glass mauve
#

The idea is to make NPC which doesn't want you to look a corpse it claims to come closer to player in alert (aiming) mode, and trigger the dialogue with option choices, aand some outcomes

#

So if you touch the corpse which it claims 'his loot' he will advance to player in alert mode, and tell you to fuck off

#

Then, if you ignore and try this again it will open fire

#

That's the idea

simple scaffold
#

actor:run_talk_dialog(npc) this should do it. you can change the NPC's default start dialogue again look at how hostage do it, or companions

glass mauve
#

So its not about trigger area

#

Al right, thank you very much ill investigate into it

simple scaffold
#

well you can set up logic to trigger in range of a targert. i think axr_beh has something for that

#

I don't think i've tried hostages yet so i havent encountered reverse dialogue triggering

Hey all, I like modifying to give myself a bit of extra carry weight, but don't like just doing it with the slider in the options, I'd rather modify how much weight each backpack past the basic one gives so there's still progression, but I can't seem to find which file in the virtual explorer has the backpack data in it? Can anyone point me to where it is/what it's called?

Gents, is there a database of all guns and ammo (or items in general) found in gamma?
I wanna make my own thematic custom starter loadout/point selection

if you open up notepad++ or something through MO2 you can use its search function over the VFS content

I just booted into debug, will figure out the rest. Thanks a bunch

#

Anyone knows where can i find a file to edit weapon/outfit parts and its drop condition?

misty mulch
#

and it will not say whether or not a gun is a normal drop in gamma, in the debug menu

serene obsidian
misty mulch
#

but yeah checking the weapon's .ltx will tell you all the ammos it can take

#

you can also just read weapon_ammo.ltx for the section names of all ammos in the game

#

(excepting the bas ones, i think)

Oh, I misread

cyan trench
#

hello, im trying to add a weapon to the loadout preset but I cant get it to spawn

#

wpn_mk47

#

I have debug mode up, i made sure its 1 to one spelled correctly

misty mulch
#

which file are you editing

cyan trench
#

in gamma starting loadouts, new_game_loadouts, I did back up the original

#

I got everything else to spawn correctly, just not the mk_47

#

could I use its item number or something instead?

covert dock
#

do you put it in specific faction loadout you want?
Isnt it restricted by dificulty?

I would add it in [shared]:custom
wpn_mk47 =true,1,250

have you tried this?

cyan trench
#

ill do that, yeah

#

ah no, it is in custom

#

and I looked at all difficulties, it wasnt appearing

#

bah, well anyways I'll probably figure it out later

Hi, is there a way to edit all armors without having to individually type each armor's ID in a ltx mod_system file? For example giving all armors something like 20 artefact slots without having to go

artefact_count = 20

![outfit2]
artefact_count = 20

![outfit3]
artefact_count = 20```

do NOT do a direct file replacement

OHHHH! Thanks for that tip. I'll give this a whirl and see what it does. Thank you so much for all of your help...both here and in the help sections.

If I knew the name of the relevant files at least I'd be able to just search for it in MO2 and then mass replace in notepad++ but even with that I'm stumped

Nailed it! TY

I still may update this, but for the time being I can update the ModDB listing with this info. It's not going to take long, but the way I OCD about pixels it'll take longer than I care for today.

warm egret
#

Oh I think I figured out what caused the other mod to crap out, mod_system_zzzzzz_gamma_armor_protections.ltx is probably overwriting it due to the load order since it also changes the same things

misty mulch
warm egret
#

Yep, gotta add more z's

misty mulch
#

e.g. mod_systems_zzzzzz_losenis_armor_tweaks.ltx

#

because l comes after g

warm egret
#

It was named "normally" so it was inevitably getting read first and then overwritten

#

Alternatively add another z pepelmao

#

There we go now it works

you can just use the Ltx from the udp add-on that refers to the starting loadouts and change the name

can you show me this?

idk what any of that means

#

go to the UDP addon in mo2, gamedata/configs/items/and in one of the folders you should be able to find an ltx file with something that says loadouts

cyan trench

gotcha

change wpn_udp9 for whatever the name of the mk47 is and tweak the rest of the stuff to your preferences

cuz It says wpn_mk47 but I doubt thats true

Do we know of any pending/future updates involving the GUI in relation to the GAMMA Accurate Defense values? I am just starting to restore an older GUI, and it just crossed my mind to ask here before I dump a few hours into this.

Yes, I do know that you can simply disable the Accurate Defense Values mod, but I am 99% certain that the old version works correctly now under that circumstance. I'd like to make an update for the new system.

#

The only area that seems affected is under the artifacts, so it's pretty straight forward, but even moving a few icons around later could be about the same amount of work that I am doing now.

On a side note:

It's amazing how absoulutely retarded I am when it comes to following simple instructions/installing a mod/mod organizer etc. But I have no problem taking apart something that is working and getting it back together.

# bronze hollow so is anyone gonna mod anomaly to make use of all cpu cores ?

OpenXray already reworks quite a bit of the code to use some form of multithreading but to make it use all cores you'd need to essentially rebuild the full game from scratch.
Anomaly uses a custom old branch of OpenXray, called Monolith, it is not being developped anymore and can't be flipped back to OpenXray anymore

# bronze hollow Ah shit

You can pray that 1.6 for Anomaly makes use of an updated OpenXray but it's been radio silence on that front for years now.

The "multithreading thing" it's an engine re-write pretty much iirc

#

What I don’t understand is ok let’s say it’s only using 1 core it’s clocked at 5.5 GHz in that time we didn’t have those kind of numbers so why is it still bottlenecking ?

stone bane
#

Well thats kind of it, it wasn't designed to be used with the CPUs we have now

#

So all the gains we made are very inefficiently used

#

Also this is harder to run than OG games

bronze hollow
#

lol and they said stalker was ahead of its time

stone bane
#

It was, it was over 10 years ago

#

like 2007-2009 for the trilogy I believe and they were hard to run games

fair canopy
#

zsisyphus

bronze hollow
#

Still hard to run

#

On the cpu side

stone bane
#

But you can't expect them to create the game for types of architecture that doesn't exist or isn't popular yet

#

The single core bottleneck is very tragic and limiting though i agree

fair canopy
#

They should have just predicted chip architecture 20 years out. Duh

They were lazy

My point is, you're comparing a game in 2007 to an update to a remastered game in 2020 or later?

#

If we had an entire company maybe we could also get an update going

bronze hollow
#

No the original

celest forge
#

Even if Crysis is multithreaded

#

You simply can't compare

#

That to STALKER

stone bane
#

I don't know what you're talking about and I need a link because all I see is that Crysis uses a single core and the remaster released with the same limitation, and if it received it, it was in a patch

#

Which is what I'm saying, that doesn't mean anything about stalker

celest forge
#

One studio made the Crytek engine and the other the X-Ray engine

#

literally hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby scenario

stone bane
#

Yeah except they're having a chess match

#

Neither of them can do what hes saying

#

My point is just that utilizing a single core in 2007 was not outdated by any means when even Crysis had that for ages

#

I'm not sure what the first game to support that even was or what the timeline looks like on CPU core counts

I had a little time to kill so I thought I would whip out a quick video. This is regarding a comment I have always seen quite a bit on the internet. It seems there is a rumor that crysis will only utilize a single core, so I decided to find out how many cores does it take to make crysis happy. Spoiler alert, more than 1.

#

bro

#

i asked if anyone gonna make anomaly use all cores

#

i said crysis is multithreaded

#

and it is

#

kek PepeHappy

quasi narwhal
#

lots of games are multithreaded

#

it's very different implementing multithread since day 0 + on a new engine than adapting a 20 year old engine (not written by you originally) to support it

#

but ok do this then

#

learn C/C++, clone the Anomaly repo, try to implement it

summer stream
quasi narwhal
#

fail miserably and come back to us okay

#

you non-coders thinking implementing complex shit is just turning on a config or pushing a button A_smhnopeduckling

summer stream
#

true

#

just take an eye inside shaders n stuff

#

with that you need to know the entire script that goes in the engine

#

(it uses lua with xml)

stop

talking

do not give them ideas

DO NOT make them suffer

pillii no

#

STOP

lilac idol

just make a dltx overwrite that says
max_cores = infinite
single_core = false

#

i mean bro everyone knows it's just a matter of prompting chatgpt

quasi narwhal
lilac idol
#

literally, just copy paste all the data from the engine to chatgpt and tell him to make it multicore

#

just sayin'

ahh

#

i dont know i you know , but some games just dont working good on that high fps, because AI dont working on that high speed

#

real thing

bronze hollow
placid moon
#

you see

#

COD have good optimalisation btw

bronze hollow
#

but all that bs i hear about if u play at high fps never happened to me even sekiro elden ring when i uncapped the fps i had better gameplay only

placid moon
#

yup but all depend on game fps cap

bronze hollow
placid moon
#

yes

#

you have Stalker 2 ?

bronze hollow
#

how does linux help with this tho

#

yes

placid moon
#

try put all on epic , i mean all, 4k and try get 300 fps

bronze hollow
#

its the most demanding game i had thats for sure

#

just like the original

#

man these adhd devs whats to hard on turning on the switch that says " HARDWARE LUMEN"

placid moon
#

you cant play gamma with 300 fps because engine dont need that much to flow good vibe, AI just break at some points at that speed i think, some games have cap on animations because of this thing, you can play 300 fps but all animations will play at 60 fps max

#

if you break that you can have errors or ctd

bronze hollow
#

thats actually something i want to test just to fire a gun at 60 fps and 300 fps and see how many shots i can do

placid moon
#

yup

#

take timer and set 1 min

bronze hollow
#

because if you think about how animating works im sure if u pvp aginst someone who is on 60 and u on 300 u will have some sort of an advantage cause we dont know for sure if that game has animation cap

bronze hollow
placid moon
#

yes you have answer

#

all must by on same lvl in pvp, but in pvp games just connection is a thing

bronze hollow
#

yea but thats not the reality right ?

he tested it

#

300 fps gives an advantage

#

even if u cap the animation it will play faster on ur end anyways

lilac idol
#

animations in stalker always play at 60fps

bronze hollow
#

im just talking about animations in general

#

but yea lets go back to stalker @placid moon

placid moon
# bronze hollow yea but thats not the reality right ?

reality is not what ppl what in this times, i mean if fps games have reality , no one what to play this because reality is too hard becacuse you will die from one shot without any outer help, if you want reality try play Arma Reforge, i em real with this

hello i am looking to make a mod which we can sort our inventory by price and weight
would this be a welcome addition?

hidden heron
#

got tired of manually ticking / unticking mods after each minor update, wrote a very small script to do it for me. maybe it's helpful for you, either directly or as an idea.
if you're in here you probably know what you're doing but usual disclaimers apply; if this breaks your install in two, you get to keep both halves.

i mean there is no reason to remove it really since they are still in the game and its not a game breaking issue

fellas, I'm trying to understand some conceptual-level stuff about how this game works. when I look at some mods, I'll sometimes see references to something like db.actor:set_health_ex(). I understand that db.actor refers to the actor object inside db.script, but where is this set_health_ex() function defined?

I have the the base game .dbs all open and I also have the base game .exes decompiled, but I'm not having any luck with actually locating where these types of functions come from. anyone have any hints?

random fulcrum
#

it's an export from the source code

#

script_game_object4.cpp @ line 448

void CScriptGameObject::SetHealthEx(float hp)
{
    CEntity* obj = smart_cast<CEntity*>(&object());
    if (!obj) return;
    clamp(hp, -0.01f, 1.0f);
    obj->SetfHealth(hp);
}

#

oh that's weird, the source code doesn't have the underscores, i guess that's why I wasn't locating it

random fulcrum
#

yeah that's cause in script_game_object3.cpp it's in the list for exports

Blender and substance painter prolly

#

or armor paint is a free alternative to substance but you have to build it from git

#

and pavels xray plugin for blender but id suggest working in blender 4.0 and then using a portable instance of 3.6 with pavels plugin for engine import

#

not all the addon modules work in blender 4

#

if you import an existing hands model ogf as a base it shouldnt be too bad

#

learning blender will take a bit of time though

I have a problem with saving .dds files.

I know that the UI files should be saved in the format: DXT5 (Interpolated Alpha). I use Gimp and paint.net.

It also works and the icons can be seen in the game. BUT:

When I save a file, I destroy small icons until at some point they are no longer HD and look like junk. see pictures. what is that about?

In the forums everyone says you can use Gimp and paint.net but somehow that's not entirely true.

as one of the developers from IWP said to me, you dont save it in
bc3 or anything like that

naive snow
# vast plaza

You don't save them as BC3 for UI. You save them as 8.8.8.8 or R8B8G8A8

Also no mipmaps since it's UI

R8G8 B8A8 (linear, A8B8G8B8) = works perfect!!!

you either model, animate or port

some animate AND port

is there anyone in the scene that actually makes the entire model from scratch?

you cant add modded weapons to loadouts even through external modding, something prevents it
