[cobalt maple]

i know this isnt something that's super important but did someone make a mod for ultrawide nvg before?

i noticed that in beefs nvgs they look kinda squished on my screen since it seems to be made for 16x9

[spiral yew]

@simple scaffold sorry to bother again, by any chance you dont know where is the script of the messages/logs tab of the pda? i wanna try to duplicate that tab and edit the filters but i cant find the script, only found the xml

[simple scaffold]

that is an engine drawn UI.

[spiral yew]

damn so theres no way to edit it by mod or directly or duplicate it? x.x

[simple scaffold]

only via the xml you already found. a lot of the content there is coming from the engine dialogue system. there isn't a hook for a script to listen to it.

[spiral yew]

ill look into that later then, i wish there was a documentation somewhere where i could find functions and stuff, i found this igigog modding book but still theres a lot of things i cant find, for example i wanna see if its posible to find the closes stash from the player and spawn an object inside it and maybe even mark it on the map but cant find anything on stashes on that webpage, only the task creation part, and i was looking for that lua_helper.script but only found one that has an "_ex" at the end xD

[simple scaffold]

run: anomaly/tool/unpacker.bat
then it will be anomaly/tools/_unpacked/scripts

the modding book mentions that

level.iterate_nearest will find every object in a range. treasure_manager it what handles stashes and it has a way to fill them with random loot and even add other stuff as well, with flags for marking them. i think gama has its own version of treasuere manager.

[spiral yew]

wow thanks!! ill look that when i have time then, now that i got the twitch connection working using the io/file for the chat to work (for some reason the streamer.bot when i send the websocket message the game dont capture it, only capture the first one that is send when conected) i can start messing around with commands and stuff xD

[simple scaffold]

have you looked at zone link?

https://zonelink.net/features/

[spiral yew]

yeah but it wont be open beta until jan/feb so im doing my own tool until that is available to use xD i cant wait that long hahaha

[vale pelican]

expanded skills 2.1

there's... a problem with the way skills expansion does it... you'll get desynced audio playing

oh nvm some1 else mentioned

[vale pelican]

Why haven't i heard of this

[random fulcrum]

what if the gun is a unique piece found in the deepest reaches of the zone and has been infused with great psychic powers that grant unnatural sleight of hand to its user by influencing their mind and body

[spiral yew]

@simple scaffold sorry one last thing for now xD theres a way to code with for example jetbrains and have the autocomplete and stuff for the functions and variables and so? like when working on other projects you go level. and it shows you all functions inside level and so

[celest forge]

The guy who gets offended when you mention a shotgun's kinetic force:

[winged hawk]

is there "craft all" mod?
kinda want it for ammo crafting

[gleaming tide]

What's the mode that spawns all attachments of the weapon? Need for debug

[gleaming tide]

thanks a lot

[simple scaffold]

https://github.com/Aoldri/anomaly-definitions/

that is the closest, last i looked it covered all of the engine api and some base game scripts.

[slow nexus]

only time i crash is if i change gpu settings in the middle of a game

I just check if the line count changed lol

I used that mod as a base for my spotify in game pda mod

xD

i was going to send examples but i deleted the anomaly folder when i was making room for stalker 2

oops

[proper comet]

hey fellas, qq: what file or where is the rads cough/rads handling stuff located at?

[spiral yew]

for now im just using the method they used for updating, so it just check the file every 500ms more or less and not every frame, so far working fine, right now trying to figure out how to access the treasure_manager script from mine xD

[regal bolt]

Hey guys

Does anyone know if the damage for non-pen shots can be altered?

[naive snow]

Yeah just modify GBO

[regal bolt]

Any idea how is it named? Shit_power_non_pen something like that?

[naive snow]

It's fully commented out by Momo, you'll find it

[regal bolt]

Ooooh! Nice

[random fulcrum]

i never did

[regal bolt]

I can see now

Shit

At least in configs. Gonna look into scripts now

[naive snow]

I thought those comments in there were yours or am I misremembering some other commented files, I swear I've seen your name in there

[slow nexus]

oh i thought you meant checking externally , i used an autohotkey script and checked when the lines changed lol

Internally i just left the code the same

also i found out why my sound device was coming back as null

i forgot to actually link openal in the linker config correctly

[covert pivot]

Does anyone know how to possibly find ogf's with messed up skeletons? One that's collapsing in-game is from FVM (stalker_merc_berill_antigaz.ogf) and comparing the skeleton in Blender to the vanilla model most of the x-ray Joints are defined as Cloth or None instead of Rigid and Joint type. The type is probably detectable in the ogf somehow, but maybe someone has a quick tip or something Id want to just run a search over all ogfs and see ones that use Cloth or None as Joint type.

[regal bolt]

Any idea what are these two for?

Just curious

[random fulcrum]

i only commented some of my changes

i lost my notes on gbo since i now can tell what's going on just from a quick glance at it

[regal bolt]

Grok has a sense of humor I see... Time to check if the damned non-pen shots are here

[proper comet]

I want to put a mod's configurable values in an MCM tab, is there a guide or a a good example of a mod available?

[slow bolt]

shit.power of >= 50 is insane

since power of 1 without any resistances or immunities is a oneshot

[regal bolt]

I know

It's weird it's here

[slow bolt]

65535 bone id iirc is a bone some anomalies hit

[regal bolt]

Not even sure if it's possible

[regal bolt]

Ah! So that may be why I don't get hit by electras on every single hit?

[slow bolt]

not sure what you mean

[slow nexus]

65535 is also the maximum value of a 16 bit integer

so maybe its to stop overflows idk

[regal bolt]

I just walk into electras and they go off twice, one each second or so, and only one hit registers

[slow bolt]

They aint supposed to hit twice

[regal bolt]

I mean. The animation and sound dictates a hit

but I get no damage for the second hit

and it repeats

[slow bolt]

if bone_id == 65535 then -- toxic anomalies and radiation. It was hitting head or torso be redirected to arms or torso instead
From my mod

there is a grace period in ADB iirc

[regal bolt]

Oh

[regal bolt]

ADB?

[slow bolt]

Actor Damage Balancer

iirc you cant take damage too fast

[regal bolt]

Yeah. I remember that

The grace period

[fathom wagon]

What is it you are looking for?

[regal bolt]

Found it. Residual damage

Now what to change it to, to not make it overpowered while still increasing it to like 1/3 of the bullets actual damage...

[fathom wagon]

Yeah residual damage is just damage reduction based on the NPC's bone hitfraction + the damage is reduced to 0.25% of its original damage

[regal bolt]

Oh

So changing that to 0.25 would make it 25% of the actual damage dealt?

[fathom wagon]

Change the 0.025 to 0.33 to make it reduce it to 33% for the original power (which will be further reduced by the NPC's bone hitfraction)

[regal bolt]

Well. Fuck it. I'mma try it and go with a buckshot filled Saiga to Outskirts to test it

Just gonna backup the OG file before I make any changes

Okay guys. Wish me luck. We'll see how hard will buckshot slap now

[fathom wagon]

Wait, which file is this from? This isn't the one that GAMMA uses. This screenshot is the one that GAMMA uses.

[regal bolt]

...

Hold on

C:\GAMMA\mods\181- Ballistics Overhaul (GBOOBS) - Grokitach\gamedata\scripts

Why?

[fathom wagon]

Check GAMMA Close Quarters.

[regal bolt]

Oh shit

[fathom wagon]

That mod is the winner in the conflicts battle (vanilla GAMMA).

I would first see if you have any other mods overwritting it in the "Data" window. Mine has my ArtiGrok mod.

[regal bolt]

Yeah. I see now. I'mma undo the change in the OG mod and then change the one you mentioned

[regal bolt]

No. Just the close quaters one

I'mma open that one

[fathom wagon]

Alright, it is on line 891

[regal bolt]

Fuck. It's 0.0025 here and adds a randomized number to it...

[fathom wagon]

So currently, residual damage is =
Original power * 0.25% * NPC's hit-bone hitfraction * (random number b/w 25 and 100) / the ammo's no-pen power penalty

[regal bolt]

So to make the shots have the fairly normalized residual damage I'd need to remove the random number and change the 0.25% to 33%?

[fathom wagon]

I'd just change the 0.0025 to 0.33 and test from there.

[regal bolt]

What about the random number? Don't you think it will make the damage too randomized?

[west cobalt]

does anyone know if this mod https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/area-player-animations-refresh changes the animations of npcs aswell?

like quote me if im wrong, but having those animations for npcs would be sick

[fathom wagon]

It might. To keep the line there, just comment the original line and do this.

[regal bolt]

Will do. Good idea

[fathom wagon]

That way, you still keep GAMMA's mechanic of HP ammo doing less damage on non-pen hits but massively reducing the penalty of the original multiplier and removing the randomness element.

[regal bolt]

Exactly what I aim for

[random fulcrum]

it's set to over 50 for silent kills

[slow bolt]

pepeHmmHD

[regal bolt]

One question. Why the dashes at the front instead of in the section?

Does it change anything where they are?

[covert pivot]

It just mean anything after it doesnt exist

[fathom wagon]

It still comments the line out, I just prefer it there so it stands out.

[regal bolt]

Okay. Thanks for the tips and help ^^

Time to test it out

Still feels kinda low

Nope. It's still too low. I unloaded over a full mag into an exo guy

And he still killed me XD

How do I increase the damage so the buckshot is still devastating, but it's just a peashooter at longer ranges than 30 meters...

And kinda sad that hp_no_penetration_penalty isn't defined in the same file

God bless Notepad++

Fuck. It's not defined anywhere in the mods. Is it defined by anomaly itself?

Nope. Not there either... where the hell then?

[random fulcrum]

it is

it's at the top of the file

or i mean not at the top per se but really close to the top

line 178

[regal bolt]

Uhh... You sure?

[random fulcrum]

yeah

[regal bolt]

Those aren't the damage multipliers?

[random fulcrum]

brother double click the variable

[regal bolt]

I'm a fucking idiot...

So each type of HP ammo has a different divider?

Shit...

[random fulcrum]

yeah that's the concussion penalty stat in the stats mod

[regal bolt]

Hold on. The fuck is barrikada doing here. it isn't HP ammo inherently is it?

[regal bolt]

OHHH

I always thought that stat was about the chance to stun the enemy on hit

Like you know. Make them get in the animation that they got shot

So this in your stats mod depicts how much damage it will do if it won't pen armor after the initial calculations that end up at 0.06 to 0.25 of initial damage? (In this case halving the already low damage?)

Wait. So I can just remove the 0.33 multiplier (Or the original 0.0025 multiplied by random number from 25 to 100 resulting in 0.0625 to 0.25 damage before dividing it further by the HP penalty) altogether since the HP ammo types already have their defined dividers

[regal bolt]

Does reloading the game in the debug reload the scripts?

Fuck it. I'm just going to restart the game. Faster than waiting for an answer

[random fulcrum]

yes

[regal bolt]

Will remember for the future. It reloads scripts. Good.

What about configs?

Guys. Any idea if I can post this modification for 093? Are there any changes in GBOOBS on 091 to 093?

Hm... Looks fairly promising, but still not it

Maybe actually multiplying the damage by 2 would be a good option to make it somewhat relevant against the Exo enemies...

Or rather the exosuit ones

[left kayak]

Hi guys can someone tell me what I would need to do if I wanted let's say wpn_colt1911_sk1 (duty version the one you can pick at start) without the tritium sights? Can't find any textures that I could edit to remove it...

[flint fern]

So, I was sitting here and decided that I wanted make a mess out of things:

I created an archive WITH a single null sound file as a "mod" in the location of :

gamedata\sounds\device\pda\pda_alarm.ogg

I installed as if any other mod. When "enabled", the in-game radio makes no music, and the main menu music doesn't play. I "uninstalled" this homemade thing, and now radio works in game, but the main menu music doesn't play nor does the Duty loud speaker.

Anyone mess with the audio stuff who has insight?

[flint fern]

I am replying to myself for anyone reading along:

I restarted my PC. The main menu music still wasn't playing. The Duty loudspeaker was silent.

My character was tired, so I decided to sleep and ignore the problem. When I woke up, the duty loudspeaker worked, as does the main menu music.

There are obviously strange variables with messing with audio, and I don't understand them but would like to know more. If anyone has anything to share, I'd love to learn more.

[slow nexus]

i accidentally built openal into anomaly instead of it being linked from dll

and i dont care

[regal bolt]

Here is the comparison between HP (First mag) and AP (Second mag) in an RPK shooting 5,45x39 against high tier enemies. Do you guys think this is fair?

[slow nexus]

So i noticed that in my version of modded exes some sounds are playing in agoporom underground that previously werent playing in the stock modded exes

like some of the spinning lights now make propper sound effects while on stock they dont?

[gleaming tide]

Guys, where are the configs of upgrades located, I want to change an upgrade tree of 1 weapon

[lilac idol]

try searching in mo2 for the name of your weapon_up

so like mp5_up

[gleaming tide]

Thanks

[wraith tinsel]

how i can change ammo characteristics? I changed every entry in every according file, game still refuses to accept these changes

[cunning wigeon]

How do I make guns shoot grenades and have the shots explode like a grenade launcher?

[gleaming tide]

Upgrades = are upgrades that overwrite other ones from scheme?

[slow nexus]

is it that slow it has a progress bar? just use vscode lol

[gleaming tide]

Notepad++ for life

[quasi narwhal]

people must be crazy to code in Notepad++

shit's literally a text editor on steroids

and not even in a Vim type

[gleaming tide]

Who made upgrade scheme "code"? Why it's so counter intuitive

[cunning wigeon]

So nobody is going to help me? 😦

[gleaming tide]

Like what is that? Well, at least that's what I see according to .ltx file

[cunning wigeon]

Hey can you please help me?

[gleaming tide]

I would but I have no idea

[cunning wigeon]

oh do you know anyone who has?

[gleaming tide]

@regal bolt is doing something with bullet dmg of buckshot, might help

[cunning wigeon]

uhhh okay I’ll go and talk to him

[misty mulch]

Make a DLTX override, don't direct edit files

[misty mulch]

Wdym? All upgrade info's are config files

[gleaming tide]

Yeah, I just don't get the positioning of the upgrades

[misty mulch]

Positioning as in...?

[gleaming tide]

As in check this

They're divided by sections but if I look at what they actually change they seem to be randomly spread

Maybe I just don't get something

[misty mulch]

Check the bottom section of the upgrade config? I vaguely remember the path requirement being there

Also if you edit existing upgrade trees, your mod will require a new save

Just fyi

[cunning wigeon]

Hey @misty mulch when you are done helping this guy can you please help me?

[misty mulch]

What you're asking for is extremely difficult and hard requires scripting, so no

I don't write lua

[gleaming tide]

Btw, instead of editing the existing upgrade trees, could I use this? Well, if it is that what I assumed

@misty mulch

[cunning wigeon]

Oh so it’s isn’t that simple like editing a weapon stats file

[misty mulch]

That counts as "editing an upgrade tree"

Either the contents themselves or the way in which it's applied to a weapon

[misty mulch]

Fuck no

[fair canopy]

[misty mulch]

I mean. I'm so curious. Did you imagine there was like... A line in every gun config that read is_bullet_grenade = false from the killjoys who developed anomaly?

[cunning wigeon]

no not really but sorry for asking a fucking stupid question

[cunning wigeon]

So sorry for wasting your time

[misty mulch]

Look, think of configs like the settings for an item. They tell the game what properties items should have. Scripts tell the game how it should use those settings.

There is no setting in the game that goes "switch bullets to grenades". You COULD learn to write Lua code in order to tell the game, "every time this gun fires swap it out for a grenade of this type", hypothetically. Could

[cunning wigeon]

Okay uhhh I am just making a simple rebalance mod and that is literally way to much work for 1 weapon variant

so again sorry for wasting your time

[misty mulch]

Yeah no shit it's work. What is your rebalance focusing on?

(also there already is a primary slot grenade launcher in gamma iirc, M79. I forget which mod provides it or if it's vanilla)

[cunning wigeon]

right now it’s a update on a previous mod I’ve done it’s called Elias weapon rebalance mod and I am doing a huge update mainly adding conversions and custom stats to variants in anomaly

it’s mainly focused on damage, rpm, ammo, mag size and recoil

[misty mulch]

Oh. That one. Yeah I remember

Good luck with version 2

[cunning wigeon]

thank you : )

[cunning wigeon]

Do you have any criticism I can take in note when developing version 2?

[misty mulch]

Yeah, keep your files organized, don't z stack for no damn reason, always use comments so that if other people want to know what your mod is doing, it is obvious

Including if the "other person" winds up being you, several months from now

[cunning wigeon]

oh okay so I should tell people what this mod does in the description and comments?

[misty mulch]

Yes. Were you not?

[cunning wigeon]

well most people didn’t actually ask that sort of questions but instead argued that this wasn’t realistic

[lilac idol]

I edited the whole mp5 upgrade tree to make it standalone for the udp, you could look at it to get an idea of how I edited an existing upgrade tree

[cunning wigeon]

which at that point in time the mod was in a rough state that I had to work on to make it be at a acceptable version

[lilac idol]

although it would still require a new game if you apply it on an already existing weapon

[cunning wigeon]

So yeah ehhh shall we have this conversation in dms? Or right here since I think we are going off topic?

[misty mulch]

No, my fascination is running out and I need to go to work

[cunning wigeon]

Oh okay sorry then

[cunning wigeon]

anyways have a good day at work : )

[misty mulch]

@queen drum
Ok very simplified outfit enhanced recoil overriding dltx:

• Go to your GAMMA/mods folder, make a new folder, call it whatever you want your mod to be called
• Inside this folder, create this EXACT file structure: gamedata/configs/plugins
• Inside the plugins folder, you're going to make a file called mod_grok_bo_enhanced_recoil_whatevernameyouwanthere.ltx
  Open the .ltx file in any text editor such as Notepad

Step two: the inside of the DLTX file

![item_id_of_the_thing_you_are_modifying]
field_you_want_to_change = new_value
another_field_you_want_to_change = new_value
; because this line starts with the ";" character, it is a comment, write a note to yourself here

In this case the thing you're editing is wpn_l96a1 so your edit would probably look something like

![wpn_l96a1]
p = blur=0, grey=0.02, duality_h=0.02 ; halved duality_h, original 0.04

When you're done with everything, refresh MO2, enable your new mod (should be at the end of your modlist)

[queen drum]

So revert the changes i had made to duality?

[misty mulch]

you NEVER want to directly edit a file

for one every single time you update, your edits will be undone

[queen drum]

Ah, have you got the original values quickly for those few that say blur, think it was 0.04, but not sure if for all

[misty mulch]

for two, just in case it breaks something (or you decide two months later you actually don't like it), how are you gonna find it again? making your own mod make it way easier

[queen drum]

oh

[misty mulch]

start with the one thing you know you can test (in this case, the [wpn_l96a1] profile through the SVT-40 gun), and make sure it works BEFORE you start mass applying the change

[queen drum]

Alright, ill get back to you

[misty mulch]

and like i said, the blur value on all of them is basically 0, I think what you dislike is actually duality_h

[queen drum]

ok so, like this correct? last mo2 load order, and test ingame?

[misty mulch]

yeah

would suggest you use underscores instead of - but that's really stylistic, not a hard req

and just to make it clear: the bit where i wrote ; halved duality_h, that is a comment so that you can tell at a glance what the original was, and what change you made

[queen drum]

yeah got that

[queen drum]

Ok, sadly did not affect it i think

still doing the same thing

got it correct in here at last load order

ill try again but with it entirely off, see if duality at 0.02 is still too strong

[misty mulch]

load order doesn't matter for dltx, that's one of its strengths

[misty mulch]

might also be an issue w/ the syntax, hold on

[queen drum]

quickly, what is dltx?

just for a brief understanding

[misty mulch]

a method for dynamically overwriting the game's .ltx config files without requiring you to do an entire file overwrite

[queen drum]

ah okay awesome

[misty mulch]

way more powerful and flexible, letting multiple mods all edit the same config file without picking only one mod's version of the edits

try this

![wpn_l96a1]
<p = duality_h
>p = duality_h=0.02 ;delete original value, add new halved value

wonder if this is csv syntax issues e: it isn't

worst case ig you can just delete the field then re-define it

[queen drum]

Making, the duality 0 has some crazy extreme effect, making it 0.02 seemed to make it stronger where as 0.04 was still strong but not like them, weird ?

[queen drum]

Ill try this

[misty mulch]

lol

then make it go the other way ig

this is entirely going to be guesswork

it's not like i know what the fuck these values mean

i just know how to edit it

[queen drum]

ok sorry, small brained here, im confused slightly by this

are you saying to do it like

[misty mulch]

no ignore it, if changing the values the other way produces an effect, use the old way

[queen drum]

alright

i made it 1.00 so lets see

okay making it 1.00 creates the same effect as 0.00

[misty mulch]

yeah this is the part where you just slap numbers in until it works

[misty mulch]

fyi it is MUCH easier to test shit in debug mode
enable debug mode, in the main menu press F2 to go to the testing menu, then F7 -> 1 for item spawner. you can also reload config files by clicking F7 -> F5 while in-game

[queen drum]

oh my

[misty mulch]

so you can unlock MO2, make edits to your DLTX file, save, then alt tab back in game and F7 -> F5 to test them

[queen drum]

ok so

looking at this one

it seems to have no blur line listed

if i was to remove the blur line in my edited .ltx, it wouldnt overwrite would it

[misty mulch]

why change gauss if you're not bothered by it though

it is literally only used for gauss rifles

[queen drum]

no i was checking the other guns to see their values and why they dont have the blur effect

[misty mulch]

and none of the guns that you said bothered you

[queen drum]

to see how i could replicate their values onto the ![wpn_l96a1] line

[misty mulch]

then presumably there's some default profile that may or may not set a blur value

[misty mulch]

what you actually want to do then is to read all the comments at the top of grok_bo_enhanced_recoil

[queen drum]

so my question is, how can i remove the line in my edited .ltx, but it be overwriting the one within grok_bo_enhanced_recoil.ltx since theres no line of text to overwrite as priority if that makes sense

[misty mulch]

uh no i'm going to need you to rephrase what you are trying to accomplish

[queen drum]

id have to somehow edit the grok_bo_enhanced_recoil.ltx

[misty mulch]

nnno you don't?

[queen drum]

uhm okay so, seeing the gauss doesnt have the text "p = blur=0", which im assuming it wouldnt have the affect that the SVT-40 has since its not a projectile, in my edited .ltx, how can i make ![wpn_l96a1] not have this text but still be the priority to overwrite the "[wpn_l96a1] p = blur=0" within grok_bo_enhanced_recoil.ltx

[random fulcrum]

didn't grok paste my full breakdown of the enhanced recoil plugin inside the (heh) enhanced recoil plugin

you could use that as a tutorial

[misty mulch]

the only docu for "p" is "it's the ppe effects", that's it

[queen drum]

this is all thats listed in that .ltx

[misty mulch]

if it's not in the original section you are modifying, there is nothing to change. [wpn_gauss] has no impact whatsoever on the SVT-40 because the SVT-40 never gives a singular shit about that section, read line 480

[wpn_svt40]:wpn_l96a1 means "tell the [wpn_svt40] to use everything from [wpn_l96a1]"

[queen drum]

No, im not saying about changing anything to do with gauss, im using that as an example as a gun that has similar lines of text but its missing its blur text due to it not having a projectile, so i assume it doesnt blur ur screen when being kicked back into ur shoulder.

[misty mulch]

then just use the first method but make the line read

p = grey=0.02, duality_h=0.04 ; no blur
``` or some shit

it overwrites the entire line

[queen drum]

okay thats what i was questioning, so that would overwrite the p value within grok_bo_enhanced_recoil.ltx

[wraith tinsel]

Please tell what`s wrong with this override?? This shit keeps telling me that damage is 600 ish and i one shot Chimera with it

[misty mulch]

wrong filepath and wrong file name, reference the file i selected, which ALSO overwrites .338 Federal

[misty mulch]

also lmao that's because the .338 federal dmg to mutants only is hardcoded within the grok_bo.script file. the SCRIPT file.

[misty mulch]

yes

[queen drum]

Ok interesting, seems to not blur the gun, but has some dual effect going on which i assume is the duality line

[misty mulch]

yes

[queen drum]

though setting the duality to no matter what value, seems to not really do anything

[wraith tinsel]

thank you! That .338 Federal is complete bullshit, i took supressed DVL-10 and ammo damage just doesnt make any sense...

[queen drum]

okay im lost, nothing seems to fix it

[random fulcrum]

he didn't put the valid ppes

bruh

[queen drum]

valid ppes?

[misty mulch]

momo here is complaining that grok's documentation sucks

which is true

[misty mulch]

basically didn't list off which effects can be used with the p field, nor what values those effects take

[queen drum]

ah

[misty mulch]

if the documentation were good you would expect to see at the top, something like "you can use these ppe effects, they take these values, changing the values produces these effects"

[random fulcrum]

not really necessary now that i think about it

you can use any ppe in that field

[wraith tinsel]

how am i supposed to override a file which already has mod_ as prefix?

[misty mulch]

then at least write that

[misty mulch]

you just make sure your version of the dltx loads alphabetically afterwards, which it would if you fixed your filename

because grok comes alphabetically AFTER gamma

[random fulcrum]

https://github.com/Tosox/STALKER-Anomaly-gamedata/tree/v1.5.2/gamedata/anims/

any of the filenames that end with .ppe are usable in the p field

oh wait they're in the previous folder

there they are

the blur ppe is one i did not ever notice its effect

like regardless of intensity the image output remained the same

so if you want to do blur, use duality_h and duality_v together

[wraith tinsel]

@misty mulch so here is that "hardcoded" problem?

[random fulcrum]

with super super low values you can create a really distorted looking image

[queen drum]

@random fulcrum this is the issue im trying to solve if unaware, its like some blur/dual screening effect, i dont mind the actual kickback, just the vfx

[misty mulch]

yes, if you're mad about it set it to like 1 or something

[fair canopy]

[queen drum]

distortion is a much better word to describe the issue

[random fulcrum]

have p = in your dltx section

that's ir

[queen drum]

have done that

[misty mulch]

he's saying to blank the entire line

that removes ALL effects

[random fulcrum]

you have not from the looks of it

[queen drum]

im confused, you mean like this right ?

as thats what its on now

[random fulcrum]

that is not a dltx file

[queen drum]

oh now im confused

so is ltx different to dltx?

[misty mulch]

your filename is fucked

[random fulcrum]

read the modding book for christ's sake

it's in the pins

[misty mulch]

i gave you really specific instructions on the filename and location man 🙃

[queen drum]

im just following what veerserif told me to do lol

ive done it thats what im so confused about, you said to open it with notepad

[random fulcrum]

and veer told you exactly what to do from what i read

[misty mulch]

please read the first five lines again

[queen drum]

i thought i was told this is correct

yes ive done exactly that im so lost?

[misty mulch]

reread the beginning of the filename

[random fulcrum]

yeah that's correct

you're not editing that file

[queen drum]

oh

[misty mulch]

that part. is really important.

[queen drum]

okay i see

i didnt think the name was important, only the .ltx part my bad

[random fulcrum]

that is why you read the modding book

[misty mulch]

the name and location is incredibly important

[queen drum]

well i didnt even know this existed to begin with

[random fulcrum]

that is why you always check pins for resources

[misty mulch]

lbr if they don't know what an ltx file is, they are not gonna understand the modding book

[queen drum]

man this is like my first time doing extensive modding like ever gimme a break lol

[random fulcrum]

easiest way to explain ltx is that it's an ini file

because that's what it literally is

just with a different extension name

everyone has fiddled with an ini at least once in their life

[misty mulch]

earlier today i just had to explain to someone that no you can't config edit a gun to make it shoot grenades

so you have a way higher opinion of the average person's familiarity with ini files than I do

[queen drum]

so this correct?

[random fulcrum]

you technically can but yeah

[misty mulch]

what's the full folder path

[random fulcrum]

what is the folder path

[misty mulch]

location is important, remember

[queen drum]

sorry shouldve included

[random fulcrum]

yes that is correct

[wraith tinsel]

@misty mulch is this an example of how i need to name my overrides?

[queen drum]

ok i try now, give me a second

[random fulcrum]

jesus fucking christ that's cringe

[wraith tinsel]

just slam z`s after mod

[misty mulch]

no, just make it come alphabetically after the other shit that modifies it
the only other DLTX that modifies 338 Federal is mod_system_gamma_ammo_balance.ltx
if you call your mod mod_system_grokISretard.ltx like you did
that loads afterwards

stop fucking typing z for no fucking reason

[fair canopy]

Make me

[misty mulch]

gr comes AFTER ga

come on

[wraith tinsel]

now its clear, thanks, bcs those zzz are fucking confusing

and my modding experience is to give Wolf and RPG-7 insted of PKM LOL

[misty mulch]

"i'll just put z in front of my dltx to make it work" is the modding equivalent of "if i have exactly 507 mods in MO2 the modpack must work right"

[queen drum]

its fixed, okay im gonna go ahead and do that for all of them affected by that, thank you so much for your time, teaching and patience, much appreciated @misty mulch @random fulcrum

[misty mulch]

remember you first need to figure out which section the gun uses, at the bottom of grok_bo_enhanced_recoil.ltx. then you copy the section you want to change, into your DLTX file, and you make the edits in your DLTX file

[fair canopy]

It'd be easier if I didn't have to fight a bunch of hidden changes

[misty mulch]

yes, but "just adding z" isn't what makes it work (if everything else in the dltx is fucked)

just like how the number 507 isn't magic and you can fuck up the modpack while retaining 507 active mods, very very easily

[random fulcrum]

that's what you get for making the entire scene use your standards

z stacking wasn't an issue before gamma

[fair canopy]

Oh well that's just a misunderstanding of 'how it actually works

[random fulcrum]

now it's a necessity

what people need is a mo2 plugin that dynamically renames dltx files depending on their load order

that'd be cashmoney

dandy, even

[misty mulch]

oh right i sketched out the stupid way of doing it

months ago

[random fulcrum]

veerserif carrying the entire scene right now

[misty mulch]

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

[lilac idol]

nah demonized's intention was in fact having filenames like mod_zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz_fuckeveryoneelseeditinganythinginthisfile

[misty mulch]

a field of z stretching out to the horizon, forever

[random fulcrum]

man FUCK demonized then get that guy's alpha modder role removed

get another guy to host modded exes

[lilac idol]

truly

like dltx isn't even that big yk

[fair canopy]

This is the brave new world I want to live in

[misty mulch]

"i remember when i was a wee young modder, running through the fields of zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, watered by the tears of people who cared"

i think the furthest i got w/ the dltx load order plugin was actually generating a list of all possible root names

[pulsar inlet]

hi guys, does any of you know where I could find the file that makes artefacts emit radiations even when not equipped? I would like to edit my game, or even make a mod, that make them work more similarly to vanilla Stalker. I already found out how to revert the recent Gamma update that removed artefacts radiations emission\healing, but by doing so it makes them radioactive even when stored in the backpack.

[misty mulch]

https://github.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA/compare/3e0ff9c4744b...cf492882c948 fastest way would be to go through all these diffs and figure out how artis were made non-radioactive, then do the opposite

[pulsar inlet]

yes, I did that, that's what I mean. I reverted the recent change, but by doing so artefacts now emit radiations even when inside your backpack. I want to change it so that they are radioactive only when equipped

[lilac idol]

"the stalker gamma and its consequences for humanity"

[misty mulch]

oh like, you want to still remove artefact containers?

[wraith tinsel]

G9?

[pulsar inlet]

yeah, and possibly reimplement only the containers that go on your armor, in the way Stalker 2 does it

[misty mulch]

i mean you could always just undo the "soft container removal" and re-add only the wearables

i don't envy the task reward/trader profile/crafting recipe rebalance that would probably also be required

[pulsar inlet]

yeah, that's probably what I'll do, and adjust the recipes accordingly, but the issue would still remain the radiation coming from artifacts in my backback, which apparently is by default in Anomaly, from what I can understand

[fair canopy]

Even this is good

[misty mulch]

yes, but then you just... keep them in the containers in your bag

[misty mulch]

yeah, i'd love to work on it more but work is gigafucking me six days from xmas

[pulsar inlet]

yeah, I see what you mean, but I would still need containers even when not having them equipped. Besides, they never emitted radiations if not equipped in vanilla lore, so that's what I'd like to restore. I have been looking around the Anomaly files, but haven't managed to find the file responsible for radiations

[misty mulch]

ah. yeah that is going to be beyond my skills atm, because i presume you'd need some sort of check to see if they're actively on your belt, but good luck

[covert pivot]

Look into item_artefact.script

that handles inventory radiation

Inventory radiation:
    Non-contained radioactive artefacts in ruck will irrediate the actor by half of their rad speed value
    This is a Misery feature, reworked and moved to this script

[pulsar inlet]

oh, that could be it

[solid snow]

can you make co-op mod ?😅

[covert pivot]

I have no idea if anything else in gamma will affect it but that should be what does that in vanilla anomaly files

[wraith tinsel]

@misty mulch i`m going insane, i changed the script, changed ammo_balance, .338 Fed is still dealing 600 tissue damage. I was not making dltx btw, i edited the files itself

[fair canopy]

[random fulcrum]

poor guy

[lilac idol]

that sounds like a really interesting mod you're making, how are you going to make it? I bet you have some really good ideas behind it

[misty mulch]

wait so, did you make the DLTX edits to k_hit as well as change the mutant dmg multiplier in the grok_bo.script?

(ideally with a direct file overwrite instead of just changing the script but w/e)

[random fulcrum]

watch as he's referring to the nominal tissue damage number in the description

[wraith tinsel]

no, i edited the files itself. I checked the ammo stats and the damage was 600+, but the actual damage to mutants or dudes is normal now

its the issue with ammo stats in inventory or spawn menu

[random fulcrum]

holy he actually was

[wraith tinsel]

i thought it representing the actual damage from .ltx files

[random fulcrum]

it's handwritten to the description

[pulsar inlet]

thank you, if I am understanding it correctly, then this script was disabled, and by re-enabling it should do what I wanted

[random fulcrum]

it doesn't reflect anything

[wraith tinsel]

but it just another "hardcoded" or "hardwritten" shit

[misty mulch]

NEVER believe anything in the description

[wraith tinsel]

it was representative before, in older modpacks

[lilac idol]

damn if only someone had made a mod that translates the Ltx info to the ingame description values..

[wraith tinsel]

it actually did some calculation and interpretation of .ltx values

now its just a dummy

[misty mulch]

disable Tosox's Minimods pack (or reinstall it without "addon log spam remover"), go shoot something, read off the shot report dmg

[covert pivot]

hmm, i wouldnt say so, that script being active is what causes inventory radiation. Youd rather need to edit parts of it to do what you need (have no radiation), because that script does other stuff too

[wraith tinsel]

lmao, it was like that before

[pulsar inlet]

yeah, need to tweak some of it, right. I am pretty green when it comes to such things, so it will be some trial and error for sure

[random fulcrum]

it was never like that

there are no stalker fangames that do that

just another instance of people thinking the stats mod was vanilla behavior

but folk do not care about them numbers

[misty mulch]

i think you're mistaking "the old .xml hardcoded descriptions were correct, because no one was fucking that hard with damage figures" for "the xml hardcoded descriptions dynamically calculate stats"

[lilac idol]

yeah I bet that if someone made a mod like that to avoid hand written descriptions grok would add it to gamma to avoid confusing players

[wraith tinsel]

yeah, watch a noob believing what game sais about the ammo, considering that old GAMMA versions showed correct damage values from .ltx files

[random fulcrum]

[wraith tinsel]

it exists... somewhere... waiting for someone to take the advantage of it...

[misty mulch]

again - now that you've made your edits, ignore the descriptions, just go spawn in a mutant and shoot it

[lilac idol]

well actually stuff like percentages is WAY more confusing than incorrect handwritten values, so it's better this way

[covert pivot]

You can try testing it out changing rad_factor in there to 0 and see what happens. I dont have time right now to look if theres anything in gamma that does something to that. First also just look if theres already some file in gamma that overwrites it, and use that as your base

[wraith tinsel]

i know that now, but i did like that before, but i was editing the wrong files, so there was no any change

i just got bored, loaded test lvl and watched stats...

i started to think that ammo damage was hardcoded into the .exe XDD

this is hilarious

[lilac idol]

nah just trust whatever you've written in the ltx, and also check the log for the damage each thing receives and whatever

[wraith tinsel]

lmao, just take damage values from .ltx files, slap a multiplier or something, color code the damage level and done. Someone will make it i believe, i think it`s simple for an experienced modder

[lilac idol]

yeah if ONLY someone would make a mod like that.. it could be called actual accurate stats values or something

[summer cosmos]

Has anyone tried this mod in Gamma? https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/the-anomalous-stash-beta-09

[covert pivot]

yeah, we need replacement for the abandoned one

[misty mulch]

yes but you want #🔨modded-gamma-support, this is the room for making your own mods

[fair canopy]

Sigma modder

[wraith tinsel]

Is this an Einstein-Rosen bridge??? No... silly, it`s the Rainbow bridge

[wraith tinsel]

he should`ve make this as a preview

[pulsar inlet]

it worked, but I hat to change the rad_factor to 0 in both that file you suggested and this zz_item_artefact.script . maybe this last one alone would have been enough though. Either way, thank you again.

[covert pivot]

yeah sounds like its some monkeypatch script, it probably overwrites functions in the original - its the annoying part of figuring out when changing stuff like this 😄

[regal bolt]

Yeah. I thought about it but seeing how it's supposedly realistic against lvl5 armor I dropped the case and just increased the random number from 0.06-0.25 to 0.25-0.40 instead

[gleaming tide]

basically doubled the penetration?

[random fulcrum]

the damage taken if the bullet doesn't pen

not penetration per se

[covert topaz]

How difficult would it be to do that?

[random fulcrum]

not at all

[covert topaz]

Really?

[random fulcrum]

yeah

[covert topaz]

Like i suppose i need knowledge of modding to do it but apart of that what would be the steps to do it if you could be so kindly

[random fulcrum]

scripting

like i'm not gonna tell you everything about how i did the mod

i'm not typing that even if i was paid

learn to code

study the mod

[covert topaz]

will try

[covert topaz]

I remembered that i dont know shit about coding so probably not

[random fulcrum]

do you think people like me were born knowing how to write in lua

[gleaming tide]

Man, why nobody said that upgrade_scheme = is obsolete

[covert topaz]

Probably

[covert topaz]

that was fast

[quasi narwhal]

the good ole "i can't code" mf no one could

shit's just grinding and grinding

[covert topaz]

No like im so bad at it

[gleaming tide]

Where are descriptions for upgrades are stored?

[random fulcrum]

search in .xml files using notepad++ and look for what the text says

[gleaming tide]

chad

[quasi narwhal]

practice it

[gleaming tide]

Explain scheme_index = 0, 1
First number is the tier 0, 1, 2 being first, second, third, and second number should be somewhat representative of a row?

I really need a manual about that even though I made a mod already via copy paste and changing of the values

[simple scaffold]

Dollars to 🍩 s that is also depreciated.

[gleaming tide]

BRUH

Then how do I add 1 more upgrade, say 5th row, tier 3 upgrade

[simple scaffold]

It's all from the section names. If both firsta and firstb are present the first row has 2 entries in the first column. If only firsta the. It has one.

First d and c are second column. Ect.

SecondA is second fow first column.

[gleaming tide]

elements                                 = up_fifthe_saiga12s```
This should represent 5th row, 3rd column, 1 entry. Correct?

[simple scaffold]

Probably, make sure you match the existing ones there are some odd misspellings

[random fulcrum]

best bet is looking for shit in the source code

[simple scaffold]

It's in scripts now.

I hate string parsing but some of this has to to the engine still so we are stuck with it.

[gleaming tide]

I'd like to know where those .xml files with descriptions are located

Nvm, found

[gleaming tide]

Okay, another one. Where do I find names of upgrade icons?

[spiral yew]

theres a way to make a script wait X seconds without freezing the whole game?

[naive snow]

We call that a timer

[quasi narwhal]

use time_global to debounce/throttle a callback

or register a time event

[slow nexus]

is anyone interested in testing my modded exe with openal efx enabled?

still having trouble getting occlusion and environments to work correctly for some reason though :/

occlusion looks like it was never implemented properly going all the way back to shoc

[random fulcrum]

i'd do it but that'd mean losing my crosshair

[spiral yew]

thanks! ill look that later then

[quasi narwhal]

i mean sure

[spiral yew]

btw where are located the images of the news icons? found the .ltx but by searching i cant find the textures itself, wanna add my own on the list

[quasi narwhal]

iirc it's a single texture

look for textures\ui idk, something related to news perhaps

i'm afk so can't help rn

[shut lance]

can I have two gammas installed on my computer. One is an older four-year-old version and the other is from this year.????

[gleaming tide]

[slow nexus]

I dont really know what im doing but heres my fork https://github.com/RawrBag/xray-monolith no idea if it will build on anyone elses computers though

oh yeah i only updated the build configs for dx11avx :>

[summer stream]

me when people on dx9 and dx8 try to play with my mod :
(i dont give a fuck)

[slow nexus]

fr like buying a pc that can bare minimum play at dx11 is like not alot of money

just wait till i wrap this shit with dx12

[summer stream]

how do i make skl animations so i can properly transfer weight?

nvm i think i figured it out

yep

[covert pivot]

[summer stream]

the power of knowledge

just created pose asset and made it

ez

[covert pivot]

for some reason its easiest to figure something out 30 seconds after you ask about it

[summer stream]

yeah

[lilac idol]

this is way too real

[summer stream]

mmm importing

the isg hands sucks

[gleaming tide]

I always do that

Ask here, 10 seconds later - found the solutions, like what?

[lilac idol]

what hand mesh are you using as a reference?

[summer stream]

how many?

[summer stream]

bandit_seva_dark

what do i use tho?

if it's wrong one

[lilac idol]

is it thap?

[summer stream]

...mhp

[lilac idol]

[summer stream]

do i use other one

[lilac idol]

just use vanilla models

[summer stream]

Ah

Do i unpack shit

[lilac idol]

mhp hands have some fucked up weight paint

[summer stream]

yeah that's

because he used IWP hands weight

(skill issue clearly)

and it had additional bone

which did silly stuff

can you just give me the vanilla models

wait

nvm

i have 2.1.1

[lilac idol]

yeah the weight paint is really cursed ngl

[summer stream]

rn

it's like

right here

[lilac idol]

I'm not home for the holidays

[summer stream]

ah

ill get thap then

are the weight there good?

[lilac idol]

nah don't those aren't really better

just use old dog

[summer stream]

https://tenor.com/view/drake-clap-drake-clap-drake-meme-nba-gif-23631290

[lilac idol]

if you can't find the vanilla meshes

[summer stream]

you know what that means

🐟

which is unpacker

[lilac idol]

I have never meshed with vanilla models tbh

only with the ones that came with firebreath's rig

[summer stream]

i dont

actually know which one i should do

actualy meshes_actors

[spiral yew]

thanks, it was there, had to unpack the db of it, but now i dont know how the code get the actual imagine inside it, the ltx only have a name but dont know how it get the actual image section out of it so i can add my own icon, i could add it to the dds file but then what? x.x

[covert pivot]

if you just replace existing image should be fine

otherwise in configs/ui/textures_descr there is xml files that give names to section of the dds's that can later be used to reference a specific part of a dds

Like ui_icon_news.xml

References the DDS file from the textures folder and then sets id for each area of the DDS file

@spiral yew

if you add your image to the dds as a new thing, then you need to create a reference for it and use it wherever the images get called by the id, or you can just lay your image over the existing ones that are already in use and they will be used automatically

[spiral yew]

oooh thats awesome thanks!!!

[vale pelican]

Look I want a quick way to increase the effect of weight on Running speed... and a bit on walking speed. I want it to be a curve... not of % of total max weight but either % of max weight before bonuses and modifiers... or better, a set curve of kg to movement speed that is irrelevant and separate of carry weight %

also what was the console command to set power loss speed? what was the difference between power loss factor and power loss bias?

@ me for this thanks

[vale pelican]

btw amarok what you cooking i never got to ask

[misty mulch]

ah shit ok it's technically e.g. fourte fourtf

so two sections, one per

eh

minor change.

upgrade position reference

[fair canopy]

Idk if you're aware or not but it doesn't seem like you can go past 5 rows

[misty mulch]

thank god

when i was surveying updates for outfits briefly, it didn't seem like they went past five, yeah. good to know it's a limit and not convention

but there you go with all the lovingly preserved misspellings

[covert pivot]

seems like misspelled on purpose to keep same amount of characters

[misty mulch]

that is a stupid truncation and that's also probably how they're doing it, huh

"just read the first 5 chars"

[digital narwhal]

how do i make an environment to test mods?

in game

[spiral yew]

just a simple twitch integration for gamma xD so chat messages show ingame, and also adding things like twitch chat commands for starting surges, psi storms and whatever i can make xD Is just that i cant wait until zone link is open beta so ill use this meanwhile

[fair canopy]

Get ready for busy hands

[slow bolt]

There's already a twitch integration mod out there

doesnt show msgs though

[spiral yew]

it happend when i used the actor:send_news (or something like that) directly xD but the update function only do stuff every 500ms and uses teh dynamic_news_manager and so far it havent thrown that error anymore

[spiral yew]

if you mean Chaos Tricks yeah but i think that only works with bits

[covert pivot]

Zone Link, but its still in closed alpha

[gleaming tide]

And it doesn't seem like you can do third column on fifth row too

[gleaming tide]

Why are you doing this after I made the mod

[spiral yew]

exactly x.x thats why im making this, is fun making it and i cant wait until zone link is open haha when is open beta/alpha ill switch to that

[gleaming tide]

Damn, and I have to know each name to that

it is in ui_actor_upgrades.xml but uh

Anyway I can compare name to the icon instead of guesswork?

.xml has coordinates

[covert pivot]

its not guesswork if xml has coordinates, its top-left corner

[gleaming tide]

yeah, just found that photoshop showed me inches instead of pixels

[covert pivot]

you can probably change that

[gleaming tide]

yep, did

that's all I needed

[covert pivot]

tho if you want to extract all of them, then might be easier to just write a program to handle all 4 of those upgrade DDS files and extract the info you want from the xml related to each part

[fair canopy]

You can

[vale pelican]

cool stuff

@steady apex Where can I see what X-Ray uses as it's global timer... I'm talking about Timer resolution... I'm looking to replace it with RDTSC.

[misty mulch]

cos i need it for working on outfit spreadsheet fuckery lmao

[gleaming tide]

Anyway, spread the info, chad

[full stratus]

Hello! How can I remove 3dss from weapon meshes?

[gleaming tide]

Yeah, baby

[covert pivot]

[gleaming tide]

IT'S A VIRUS, CONFIRMED!

Okay, now seriously. Readme is inside, use for batch cutting converted to PNG textures according to XML data

[gleaming tide]

Basically does this

[gleaming tide]

I can't really change sound for a specific upgrade?
Can't really do this inside it...
snd_shoot = weapons\ks23\shoot

[simple scaffold]

Nope that is not one of the things that upgrades can change

[gleaming tide]

No magic today

[gleaming tide]

that's weird though, since you can change silenced shot

[visual anchor]

how do i change the text of guns in a stalker mod

[random fulcrum]

that's because you can upgrade a silencer onto a gun

it makes sense

[frail sluice]

is there any way to increase the amount of dropped ammo from stalkers?

[west cobalt]

does anyone commision repositions? i have a few weapons i would love to get commisioned

[cold nest]

Does gamma still use atmospherics mod?

[summer stream]

yes

[novel ruin]

Is it possible move the stats of item on top of the description in tooltips?

[vale pelican]

sorry noob question... what's this

![supplies_1]
mag_bas_pl15_9x19 = 4, 1

the first number and the second number

I'm looking to change mag sell/buy coeff

aka more valuable to sell and less expensive to buy

like i know there's buy and sell exponent

[gleaming tide]

Well, this part is handled in the weapon .ltx too, so I thought that upgrade one could use similar part of code unless it's handled differently

[gleaming tide]

It seems like it doesn't require a new game. I didn't technically edit an old upgrade tree, just assigned a new modded one. Well, it does "break" the old tree if you already had upgrades on the weapon, but if it's new - works fine

[lilac idol]

yeah if you had upgrades it gets fucked but if the gun didn't have a single upgrade installed then it's fine

[gleaming tide]

Seems like it works if preinstalled upgrades weren't changed

So if player didn't upgrade fourth and fifth sections which I changed, it is good as is

[fair canopy]

first number is how many will spawn in trader inventory, second number is the chance it'll spawn. 1 = 100% chance. dunno about the prices except directly changing the prices for the mags in their configs

[vale pelican]

ooh thanks... the problem is that 6k priced mag is bought for 9k... and sold for less than 100 roubles

it's way more steep than any other item i've encountered

[fair canopy]

i mean, having them sell for anything substantial would break the economy

[gleaming tide]

You mean make economy realistic?

[vale pelican]

Hey I didn't ask you to give permission to mod... 😛

and I already broke the economy... I fix it this way

[tardy yacht]

hey is there a mod that expands on hideout furniture? like adding more clutter, computers with screens animated etc?

[fair canopy]

that's already in gamma

[misty mulch]

two of them are in gamma already, even

[tardy yacht]

yes, but cant turn on computer monitor screen etc..

jus tchecking if there is more

[misty mulch]

find them yourself or ask a more appropriate channel like #╓☢stalker-chat or #╟🔰☢newbies-chat , this is the room for making your own mods

[tardy yacht]

[simple scaffold]

Second number is probability 0.0 to 1.0 with 0.5 being 50/50 odds.

The second number is how many times the dice are rolled for that item. This makes it the max number of the item you will get, the minimum is 0 if the second number isn't 1.

On average you will get the two numbers multiplied together in items but even a probability of 0.1 could give you 4 or a probability of 0.8 give you none.

What is the name of the mod that makes my vision blurry while I reload a weapon?

[vale pelican]

thanks... altough doesn't solve my problem... mags sell for so low and buy so high... the exponent diff is more than every other item that i know of tbh... how can i change it.

[simple scaffold]

Edit the mag loot script. Or maybe the mags patches script. I forget where we do that.

[lilac idol]

then you probably want to mess with the multipliers that gamma economy has for selling items to traders

[simple scaffold]

The is callback for prices we use that to make them sell for shit to avoid giving players too much money with mag drops in vanilla Anomaly. IDK how that balances in gamma

[lilac idol]

doesn't sound like a mags issue at all

[simple scaffold]

Could be both

IDK how gamma mucks with mags. Only how we made it

[lilac idol]

yeah ig, but since gamma has a major overhaul of the economy it might affect the way mags work

[marsh roost]

Pretty sure that's just an in game setting maybe in MCM that you can change or disable

I'm looking for the file in which the artifact efficiency is defined. Until today I assumed that these spawned with random values ​​from 0-99. But they don't do that.

How do I make warfare mod work

[queen pine]

@cold nest G.A.M.M.A. isn't built with Warfare in mind and Warfare, per se, have bad perfomance, bugs, issues, etc., this is why it isn't recommended.
You can play it if you really want to, but forget about #🔨base-gamma-support, this channel support is only for G.A.M.M.A. vanilla (which basically means no extra stuff at all) and is also used by Grok for bug fixing.
Since G.A.M.M.A. vanilla doesn't use Warfare, you'll need to use #🔨modded-gamma-support.

can someone help?

[azure bluff]

what's the proper workflow with *.script files?
Are they loaded on game executable start/on savegame load/interpreted on the fly everytime?
Do I somehow "connect" MO2 to my local git repo folder of the particular mod I'm working on so that it loads from my workspace or do I edit files in MO2 folder and after I achieve what I want I copy the changes to my workspace?

[wraith tinsel]

I`m trying to add impact grenades from EFP

i left only rgn and rgo related files, cumulative checked all files so i can have everything i need for them to work

problem starts from here

if someone will help i`ll release it as a mod

i will be sure to make NPC spawns and NEC craft recipes for them

Files there is

[covert pivot]

I have my git repo folder as a mod of mo2. as long as your scripts are stored in /gamedata/scripts folder in the root itll work, but you have to restart the game to reload stuff into the vfs

[azure bluff]

but you have to restart the game to reload stuff into the vfs
on every change in file?

[covert pivot]

afaik if you do it through mo2 they need to loaded into the vfs yes. I dont think it can update the managed files on the go, but im also not very familiar with the process

but in debug mode i think you can reload scripts ingame

Refresh Game option or something like that

[azure bluff]

i always assumed that VFS just means that we're spoofing directory structure, not that we load the files into the memory or otherwise cache them.

[azure bluff]

i'll try to find that

[covert pivot]

oh i see what triggered it

[covert pivot]

I just havent tried something like that. I have set up my repo as a mod in mo2 so I can run blender through mo2 with textures from anomaly and duxs character kit loaded in

[simple scaffold]

MO2 doesn't look in widows for new files while the game is running, if a file is made by the game it will know about them of course but files you add to a mod while the game is running MO2 won't see.

The xray does load some files into memory only once, engine UI xml for instance.

[broken lake]

guys, i am trying to force finish a task "recover the detectro prototype" its bugged, do you know which file i should look for id, or maybe id of the task if anyone knows?

[simple scaffold]

Work backwards from the visible text in game. Find the translation strings, then find the task that uses those string IDs

[broken lake]

@simple scaffoldoh sht dude you bscliy wrote chinese for me 🙂 i am dumb

translation string?

[covert pivot]

Search for the text you see on your screen in gamma files. You will find the id for that translation and then find where that translation id is used

[azure bluff]

i've noticed that scripts, if they existed at executable launch, are reloaded on every save game load OR on Debug Menu -> Refresh Game (which just seems to reload game anyway) just like SD said.

I have not checked if adding an entirely new script file works but overwriting scripts while game is running and then reloading seems to work fine. Based on your post I'm assuming the answer is that no: new files will not be included into VFS by MO2 dynamically at runtime.

anyway, thanks for the help SD and Raven

[broken lake]

for the love of God i cant find anything about this task, i checked yantar.ltx, general.ltx

[azure bluff]

have you ever used any sort of directory-wide text search tool like notepad++ "search in files" or something like that?
I suggest you try using this (or a similar tool) https://www.templatemonster.com/help/how-to-use-the-find-in-files-feature-in-notepad.html
search for task name or description in gamma folder (maybe anomaly too) and this should take you the first step towards finding quest id

i doubt you'll be able to find that stuff by manually traversing all the files in any sane amount of time...

[gleaming tide]

I forgot that tool exists. Even though I was happy using Everything by Voidtools

Such a timesaver

[azure bluff]

#╭📖faq message
this post should take you all the way there, from what i see screenshots in the README.pdf file are from VSCode (another text editor like notepad++, sligthly more complicated).
also i don't think this is a modding subject so i suggest you take this subject to one of the support channels like this one: https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/922555488665743391

[simple scaffold]

Yeah, scripts are always reread from disk when. Loading a game. it won't see an all new scripts however until the game is restarted. But this an MO2 thing, if you put the file in the actual gamedata folder it would work There may be a trick to make MO2 see them but honestly it probably isn't worth looking for.

[simple scaffold]

It's base game.

Here is translation strings:
https://github.com/Tosox/STALKER-Anomaly-gamedata/blob/v1.5.2/gamedata%2Fconfigs%2Ftext%2Feng%2Fst_quest_rioc.xml#L35

Here is where that string is used in a task ltx:
https://github.com/Tosox/STALKER-Anomaly-gamedata/blob/v1.5.2/gamedata%2Fconfigs%2Fmisc%2Ftask%2Ftm_rioc_common.ltx#L28

Then search scripts to find out which one uses that ltx or the sections in that ltx.

https://github.com/Tosox/STALKER-Anomaly-gamedata/blob/v1.5.2/gamedata%2Fscripts%2Ftasks_recover_item_on_corpse.script

Simple series of keyword searches in the unpacked game files. Took me about 5 min on my phone with the shitty GitHub app search. Probably would have taken less than a minute after I got notepad++ open if I had been at my computer.

This is a core modding skill for stalker. You should practice it.

Somehow, despite multiple layers of "please, just fuck of with nils"-checks I always get a single nil value in all_objs table at it's end. That nil value comes from that if self.childs then . If i remove that entire if-statement then problem disappears . I'm sleepy as fuck. Help. Please.

solved, i was sleepy. Comparator fn sortFn i was passing to table.sort was defined as Class:fn(obj1, obj2) but used with a dot: self.fn so obj2 was aways nil because no self was passed as first arg. Defining function as Class.fn fixes it

[simple scaffold]

Was about to say you can't actually have a nil in an array like table, the first nil is where #tablename stops counting

You can add stuff to number keys higher than that first nil but they won't be part of the optimized array like part of the table, they will be like any string key, ignored by # and ipairs

And if you want to extract names from those, you can use this, unless guesswork is viable for you: #╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

even thought it's helpful it itx doesnt translate well to what we see in game

small step at the time I guess

i think you have to model the new sight to the gun you want to add to it

yeah, i was thinking the same thing

thank you

on seperate bones etc

would be cool if it was all unified

imagine they make a mod where they add foregrip attachments somehow, imagine thooo

[main plover]

But it makes zero freaking sense lmao
0.0175 is 5%
0.00019 is 10%

[gleaming tide]

To add them you have to add it on every model you want them to be on and add those lines in weapon .ltx file
use_alt_aim_hud = true
and these in the each scope section you're adding them to
aim_hud_offset_alt_pos_16x9 = 0.008905,0.021980,-0.019175
aim_hud_offset_alt_rot_16x9 = 0.006301,0.000057,-0.550311
(values should be your own, that you set up with draggable HUD editor)

To add them you'll need blender 3.6 and #╙🖇mods-making-discussion message this plugin.
Canted sights should use wpn_body vertex group

There's a tutorial on how to add regular scopes to the guns that might give you a general idea #╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

oh interesting

[west cobalt]

thank you sm

[slow nexus]

i still dont see why we couldnt change the source code to have a unified set of attachement models that use a root bone , then in the ltx specify like attachement:mycoolattachement then mycoolattachement:offsetpos x y x and the game sees that and goes oh okay ill use the model in attachements/mycoolattachement folder

then just attach it to the root bone of the weapon and resposition

fuckass game

im not looking into it rn though im tweaking out too much about getting open al environment effects to work in gamma

[gleaming tide]

Remaking old ass engine is hard

It's stupid that you have to have 20 copies of the model with each scope attached

[slow nexus]

its not even like the fact of remaking

like honestly it doesnt sound like a lot of work its just getting it to be compatible with existing content

[gleaming tide]

If all duplicates were removed including .ogg sounds GAMMA would weight at least half of it's current size

weight isnt much of an issue like no one has problems with storage space

I wish i had the intelligence to merge the modifications in I-Xray to Xray Monolith, it would be so cool

[brazen pier]

I don’t really know how to program, and I’m trying to modify the Soulslike mod to change the save system, but I’m having a lot of difficulty.

What I want to do is simply make it so that the game saves and overwrites the existing save every X seconds (using the hardcore save mode where only one save is possible).

I think I’ve found the function that handles saving

`function force_save(type)
--if game isn't already paused, then force a pause here
local force_pause
if not (device():is_paused()) then
device():pause(true)
force_pause = true
end
local Y, M, D, h
Y, M, D, h = game.get_game_time():get(Y, M, D, h)

local m = level.get_time_minutes()
if m < 10 then
    m = ("0"..m)
end

local comm = utils_xml.get_special_txt(db.actor:character_community())
local map = utils_xml.get_special_txt(level.name())
local date = string.format("%d.%d.%d %d-%d", D, M, Y, h, m)
local file_name = "soulslike_"..comm.." - "..map.." "..date.." - "..type

exec_console_cmd("save ".. file_name)

if (force_pause) then 
    device():pause(false)
end

end`

but I can’t get it to work. I’ve tried several approaches, using ChatGPT to help me create a loop that runs the function every X seconds, but nothing works.

I can’t even figure out where the problems are coming from. At first, I thought the issue was with the "loop" itself. I decided to do a simple test like, “If I press this key, then run the function,” but nothing happens when I press the key... Now I don’t even know if my condition for detecting a key press works at all so I’ve tried different approaches: I tried making the game crash on purpose if the key is pressed, but nothing happens. Then I tried something else, just displaying a message when a key is pressed, but I couldn’t get that to work either.

I feel like I’m getting further and further away from what I’m trying to achieve in the first place.

I found this code in the soulslike mod scripts

`local function on_before_save_input(flags, type, text)
if not IsSoulslikeMode() then
return
end

-- No hardcore save setting, allow saving
if not soulslike_mcm.is_hardcore_save_enabled() then 
    return
end

-- Hardcore save is enabled, but we still want to save at campfires
-- We just return to let the regular saving work.
if soulslike_mcm.override_campfire_hardcore_saves() then        
    return
end

-- All other scenarios flow through here and we just disallow saving
if not level_weathers.valid_levels[level.name()] then
    return
end

debug('User tried to save')

local str = game.translate_string("st_save_only_when_sleeping")
actor_menu.set_msg(1, str, 4)
exec_console_cmd("main_menu off")
flags.ret = true

end`

basically, it prevents the player from saving if he's in the right conditions.
I'm having trouble determining what “flags.ret = true” is.
In fact, I'd like to do the same thing, but for loading saves.
So I simply copied and pasted this piece of code below and replaced on_before_save_input with on_before_load_input, which I found on the callback help page.
but it doesn't work, I can still load my save.
I have the feeling that there's something unclear that I didn't understand with this flags.ret = true

As for 9.3, which texture pack is the best? Is one even necessary anymore? I see a.d.e.g.a being mentioned a lot

[digital narwhal]

who thought lua was a good scripting language to implement

why not cpp like in the engine

[fair canopy]

ask the stalker devs

[digital narwhal]

[quasi narwhal]

because cpp ain't good for scripting

change my mind

also a compiled scripting language is just... weird

[digital narwhal]

for intermediate mods yes

its lightweight and faster

[summer stream]

who cares?

lua is complex but lets you do more stuff

[digital narwhal]

aint gonna learn another language

[summer stream]

skill issue then

[fair canopy]

"devs should have forseen MY modding needs 15 years ago"

[digital narwhal]

Yes ofc

sdk crashing after a slight inconvenience

[summer stream]

skill issue it is

just cope and learn it

[digital narwhal]

[summer stream]

NoU

[fair canopy]

this guy is doing it

your tisms will get no sympathy here

[digital narwhal]

aight boss

[quasi narwhal]

skill issue for sure

lua is super fast and lightweight

[digital narwhal]

thats what i said

[quasi narwhal]

also if you already know cpp, lua is much easier so

[azure bluff]

how come task_manager is globally available? I don't see it defined in _g.script or lua_help.script .
Is every file treated as a module or something and "automagically" imported as file_name = require(file_name.script) at some point during saveload?

[random fulcrum]

ye it's automagically imported

everything in the scripts folder is accessible anywhere

local variables (and functions) within the scripts themselves aren't unless you unlocalize them

[pliant basin]

what's hand_dependence for?

[bright dome]

!noscope

[queen pine]

@bright dome To fix missing scope reticles with 3DSS enabled:

1. Go to Settings -> Modded Exes, make sure 3DSS is on
2. Go to Settings -> Visual -> Advanced, make sure AA and SMAA are off
3. Restart the game

so i have changes to files that come from StalkerAnomaly\db\configs\scripts.db0 . I could just monkey patch them and make a pull request to gamma but i'm assuming that those files come from Anomaly project and it is possible to contribute to Anomaly directly and that would probably be a cleaner solution. I cannot interact with their Discord server (unverified DC account), I cannot find any Anomaly repo through google, can anyone point me to some resource on how to contribute to Anomaly?

[random fulcrum]

https://bitbucket.org/anomalymod/xray-monolith

that's vanilla anomaly

https://github.com/themrdemonized/xray-monolith

that's modded exes

[azure bluff]

thanks, i found this repo: https://bitbucket.org/anomalymod/xray-monolith but ignored it based on the "xray-monolith" name without looking deeper...

hmmm, but this repo does not contain any *.script files

[random fulcrum]

no because it's the source code

go into your anomaly\tools\ folder

and run db_unpacker.bat

that'll net you all of the vanilla game text files
