[azure bluff]

ye, i've done that and i have changes i'd like to apply to those files (item_repair.script specifically) but i don't see those files in any of the 2 repos

[random fulcrum]

publish the change as a mod to moddb idk

none of those repos have script files because they're the pure source code

[azure bluff]

yeeee, no, separate mod is an overkill... I'd rather monkeypatch my changes in a related gamma file. thanks.

[random fulcrum]

why would it be overkill to store your file in a zip

[covert dock]

is there a way how to increase thermal scope resolution?

[simple scaffold]

anomaly/tools/unpacker.bat run this
will make anomaly/tools/_unpacked/ which is a copy of the gamedata folder as it exists in the compressec anomaly game files.

or ther is this 1.5.2 repo: https://github.com/Tosox/STALKER-Anomaly-gamedata/blob/32a985509b2d6abc652d1571fe50de5a84c52dd4/gamedata/configs/items/settings/npc_loadouts/npc_loadouts.ltx that is only slightly out of date

[simple scaffold]

that is absolutely in the unpacked files.

[azure bluff]

yeee, i've done that (unpacked) already, point is i have changes i'd like to apply to that file. Not because they necessarily have to be applied there but because i think it's a cleaner solution. Point is i have no idea on what repo this file (item_repair.script) is held so i don't know where to submit a pull request

thanks for answers to both of you.

[simple scaffold]

anomaly devs don't take pull requests. you could post it as a bug in their discord witho your fix. the modded exes have been known to incorperate patches to base game anomaly files as well

[azure bluff]

thanks, i suspected something like that, i'm waiting for access to Anomaly DC server because i refuse to link my phone number with DC account. I wrote to @minor spear who is a staffer there to let me in.

[thin socket]

hi, how do i change the weight of trash to 0 ? which file i need to look at ?
tried changing items_trash.ltx but it doesnt change in game

[slow nexus]

Why are there two values on the weight line

[simple scaffold]

there aren't. any thing after ; is ignored

[slow nexus]

oh

mb

[simple scaffold]

use notepad++ search in files, target the mo2 mod folder and search for the item section. there is probably some dltx file undoing your changes

[azure bluff]

you're probably looking for this file/lines . Values there match what we can see in the screen - 0.37

[slow nexus]

It seems like the problem im having with getting the audio environments to work is the fact that they arent loading into the correct effect slot

That and there seems to a be a bug with my merge where some environmental effects like rain sounds wont play after a level transition but play fine when loading from a save

[thin socket]

2nd value is not used since i used ";"

makes it easier to just run replce command

[thin socket]

YOU SIR IS A CHAMP. Never thought about files outside configs system

[slow nexus]

hey where did you get this from, I've fixed the environments and effects loading correctly but none of the maps have a snd_env file to accompany them

@lilac idol https://mnml.jp.net/i/7zizv.mp4

[slow nexus]

Okay i found a bunch of envs from a dead air mod and testing with them at the moment

[lilac idol]

mfb gave it to me

[slow nexus]

Its all fixed now and i fixed the reverb gain issues though every sound is now playing through the reverb channel so sounds in the ui and main menu still play with reverb

The env files i got dont seem to swap environments its all just one static env for the whole map

which i had one other than fake start to test lerping between two environments

[slow nexus]

who is mfb lol

[lilac idol]

a mapper

[slow nexus]

okay some envs have detail

and its lerping between them

[lilac idol]

he's in anomaly discord

[slow nexus]

ill upload vid in a sec

https://mnml.jp.net/i/49pr5.mp4

[lilac idol]

can it read through xr files tho?

[slow nexus]

wdym

[slow nexus]

its using the sEnvironment.xr

and its using the level.snd_env files

[lilac idol]

yeah that's what I mean

[slow nexus]

I dont see any other way to get it to work correctly otherwise

[lilac idol]

I can invite you to a discord server where you can ask about this sounds stuff, lots of experienced people there

[slow nexus]

level.snd_env stores what i assume to be geometry relating to what environment should be used where and sEnvironment.xr stores the presets that snd_env uses

yeah if you can that would be sick

cause i dont think anyone here really cares about it but i care about it alot

sick of the game sounding flat

[lilac idol]

sent it to your dms

[deep galleon]

hey guys, anyone familiar with custom weapon reposition?
I have made a modded .ltx file with Dragable Hud and debug menu and all. It works but only when dip my gun into the wall lmao why

[rancid oar]

nah dude i'd personally be super hyped to have environmental reverb in this game, you're def not alone lol

[gleaming tide]

Have you been successful in adding guns to Nimble weapon upgrade profile?

[lilac idol]

nope

apparently it's all scripted

[gleaming tide]

[lilac idol]

I haven't messed with it since I got told that it was script based lmao

[gleaming tide]

Hmm, do you know how to lock upgrades behind certain technicians like it was in CoP?

[lilac idol]

I'm pretty sure gamma doesn't allow technicians to give upgrades

and no, idk how to do any of that tbh

[gleaming tide]

Well, this is a few lines fix but the other one. Have to dig deeper

[lilac idol]

for the nimble trade I think you can just look at the mod that adds the nimble trades to add your own weapon to the trade profile

I think it was called nimble upgrades guns or something like that

[gleaming tide]

I was trying to mod on top of this, wasn't successful

[gleaming tide]

Well, I was in adding the dialogue

[gleaming tide]

Okay, scammer

[vale pelican]

@simple scaffold Merry Christmass

[thin socket]

anybody tried messing with longer wake time ? making sleep less often

i read somewhere we shouldnt mess with the sleep, but maybe if....

[gleaming tide]

Any reasons why the gun might stop being an upgraded version after I put any attachment in it?

[lilac idol]

maybe you didn't set up the sections properly

[gleaming tide]

Well, I do use the same models as an unupgraded weapon but I doubt that is an inssue

[gleaming tide]

About sections - no idea, everything seems to work but this

[spiral yew]

theres any way to change the name of an npc? like spawn a random npc on the map with a custom name

[gleaming tide]

forgot to define string 💀

[fair canopy]

because your new section inherits from the old gun

[gleaming tide]

Already fixed but yeah

[spiral yew]

nevermind, found it thanks to a mod of someone, is just "npc:set_character_name(newName)" xD

[sudden inlet]

Is there a simple way to create repeating time interval?
Creating timeevent within another timeevent is kinda unusual approach

[random fulcrum]

use actor_on_update()

and set up a time_global() check within it for the interval

[gleaming tide]

How do I add Status and Replacement parts? Look second screen

[broken lake]

has anyone made a mod same as guitar in stalker 2?

[lilac idol]

look at a weapon mod with parts and take it from there to your weapon

it's just an ltx that defines the parts

[gleaming tide]

wpn_saiga12s_isg_nimble = prt_w_barrel_3, prt_w_trigger_components_1, prt_w_bolt_carrier_1, prt_w_bolt_3, prt_w_gas_tube_1
just this in a file?

[lilac idol]

yeah but with the proper directory and whatever

[fair canopy]

Do not overwrite parts.ltx, do it in a dltx

[verbal siren]

I'm trying to edit weapon icons and I don't get the silencer placement. The modding book explains silencer_x and silencer_y, but the mod I'm editing has weird coordinates, yet the silencer is placed correctly in the inventory. silencer_x = 235 in pixels I do understand, silencer_y = 5 I don't. The barrel on the weapon icon is like 40 pixels from the top of the icon so it would make sense to set silencer_y = 40, no? How does the y coordinate work here?

[gleaming tide]

yep, thanks

[hollow heron]

Anyone have the mod that makes exo skeletons sound like this? I can’t find it on ModDb

[naive snow]

It's measured from the top the icon layer and has an offset. Optics are often in the y -10 and silencers +5 or something

There's a icon layering little program you can use to find the coordinates properly, otherwise it's a bit of guesswork

[fair canopy]

best program of 2024

[spiral yew]

someone knows why when spawning certain npcs of X faction they just crouch and dissapear? im testing spawning npcs with the debug menu but npcs of factions like sin or unisg just dissapear after some seconds, why is that?

[fair inlet]

grok_nes deletes them from southern levels

[spiral yew]

oh so certain factions cant be to south no mather what? by any chance you know how south? like they can only be from radar and above? or from freedom base at military base (forot the name on english xD)

[fair inlet]

yes
army warehouses can have them iirc

[tawdry edge]

anyone know a mod that changes the npc controls? (grabbing artefacts, hiding behind cover, relaxing around the campfire, etc.) canat remember the name

couldve sworn i saw it in mod posting

[slow nexus]

Check out the latest build on my git

[rotund lotus]

Have it installed but forgot the name

[hollow heron]

https://tenor.com/view/monolith-preacher-games-stalker-gif-19391373

[hollow heron]

Keep me posted

[queen drum]

Here me out, self fellatio mod.

[wispy ferry]

I would rather choose to be deaf

[summer stream]

holy shit there is 147 bones

[summer stream]

@lilac idol yo, i have a job for you

[lilac idol]

what is that even lmao

[summer stream]

cod bones

JokergeSilence

[lilac idol]

[summer stream]

look at how many bones the hands have

and every of it is induvidial

mmm

finger

[lilac idol]

well what is it

[summer stream]

try to animate with the use of it

it's not a lot

[lilac idol]

ok I can test the weight paint for you

[summer stream]

y'know i would steal it

[summer stream]

funny enough :
it comes with weight

[lilac idol]

well then make the whole ass process and I can try it out

[summer stream]

also i figured out how to properly do weight

[lilac idol]

just send the meshes and textures

[summer stream]

thanks for the old dog gloves idea

stole took the gloves from mechanix

now what is need to be done, is the funny thing called

Sleeves

and then i can show it

main problem on them :
l_finger0, l_finger1

[lilac idol]

yeah sleeves are kinda fucky

[summer stream]

weight is slightly wrong

manually adjusting them rn

but it's MUCH better than MHP one

[lilac idol]

also the reason why there aren't sleeveless hands

[summer stream]

funny enough

[lilac idol]

yeah

[summer stream]

i have one

[lilac idol]

have fun

[summer stream]

literally i made it

and i have the ones from tarkov

which are like that

but made with use of MHP stuff

sucks, but works

will be re-made

i will literally re-inovate MHP

so gamma can have normal gloves

[lilac idol]

that'd be cool, considering that some of the sleeves are kinda fucked up and make some anims look bad

[summer stream]

tatoo

btw, here's elbow

it's actually the normal weight stuff

you just gotta either rename it and calmly make it

or just

combine it

but yeah

mostly it's ok

btw main problem on these hands is

this finger

so here is proper weight for them :

not these fucked over weights which mhp has

[lilac idol]

omg a normal thumb

hold on

a normal thumb??? in my anomaly????

[summer stream]

Yes

look at this screenshot (oversaturated but eh)

[lilac idol]

thumbs suck so goddamn hard in this game let me tell you

[summer stream]

do you see the thumb

it LOOKS okay

it's fucking NORMAL

so also

[lilac idol]

[summer stream]

these are l_finger0 and up to 2

which is ACTUALLY GOOD

l_finger0 :

l_finger1 :

and l_finger2 :

just LOOK

it's majestic

and it's because i fucking imported it in smodel

[lilac idol]

that looks pretty nice, how does it play tho

[summer stream]

well, semodel

[summer stream]

no idea

i dont have-

nvm i have

i have anims

give me a sec

gonna get it

[lilac idol]

send me the meshes and I'll test them anyways

[summer stream]

with the bones?

[lilac idol]

I can also stress them a bit yk

[summer stream]

just get an addon to

[lilac idol]

send me the ogf

[summer stream]

..sir

it's a semodel

[lilac idol]

yeah

[summer stream]

i didnt import it

into ogf

[lilac idol]

once you have them

[summer stream]

mmm

i'll try to combine the vertex groups into one

l_hand

since LOOK HOW MANY THERE ARE

[lilac idol]

once you have them ready for x-ray armature send them and I'll test it

[summer stream]

i'll try it on the default model

[lilac idol]

yeah that's gonna take some work

[summer stream]

just to see how buttery smooth it is

since it's mw19 rig

i feel like i'm gonna be the innovator in anomaly with these hands

since most of them sucks

the only normal one i saw is only on BAS

[lilac idol]

I feel like if you keep saying it you're gonna bottle it

[summer stream]

True

I will not release them under any circumstances

holy shit

that is A LOT

WAIT

FUCKING WHAT

117K ANIMS?

i am not recovering from this ong

enjoyment

hell yea

professional

[rancid oar]

so i tried it for a few minutes earlier today and it doesn‘t seem to work for me - i installed the level files from your git as a mod via mo2 as well and the console tells me its loading the environment files but it doesn‘t affect the sound as far as i can tell

should i copy the files directly into my anomaly folder instead? or am i missing something entirely haha

[covert pivot]

What decides if a weapon gets hold in a wide apart grip or a like closer together grip by NPCs? Dont have a picture of one, but ive definetly seen some short AKs being held by magwell and short smgs like kiparis are in a tighter hold than this as val. I would want to change it so its not held by the suppressor

[lilac idol]

"held"

[covert pivot]

[gleaming tide]

ping me when you find the solution

[random fulcrum]

my guess is animation_slot

ef_weapon_type and ef_main_weapon_type don't seem to be linked to anything related to this in the source code

and hand_dependence does nothing

at least at the engine's level

[covert pivot]

👍 Ill try to mess around with it later, just noting down weird stuff I see as I take npc portraits

[fair canopy]

Like momo said I'm pretty sure it's animation slot. I remember messing with it trying to fix shotgun and bolt positions

Best bet to fixing them would be to beg lizardman to redo the anims

[safe solar]

i got a banger mod idea - crossbow in stalker with explosive bolts

[hollow heron]

You find it?

[rancid oar]

managed to get it working now, super sick! although i think the effect could be a LOT stronger overall

especially the room and open space environments, they're subtle to the point that you barely even notice the reverb

[tribal aspen]

A lot of them are procedural to help with twisting and other deformation

[summer stream]

yeah i can clearly see that

[tribal aspen]

It is a lot

[summer stream]

lots of stuff is assigned to the different part of hand

which doesnt let it fucking snap in half

good stuff

[tribal aspen]

I animate with them and they're the best I've ever worked with haha

When they're rigged properly and not just raw anyway

[summer stream]

its cod rig after all

they are good

since i borrowed them from 2019 one

[rotund lotus]

Not yet but ill post it here once i did, i got 300 mods that needs digging xD

[stone orchid]

Does anyone know how to swap hands modes hud? I saw someone said I should replace them in file ltx, where can I find it? For ex I want to replace merc ace suit for dolg redline, can someone explain pls? Ty

[hollow heron]

Ping me when you do please

It’s the crysis sound

im using this in the meantime. its similar when running in exo,
but walking sounds weird https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/new-exo-sound-only

[west cobalt]

got told to ask here, if i had an animation for stalker anomaly, would someone be able to pack it into a mod?

[sudden inlet]

Hi, guys! Is there any way to understand if an outfit have to be charged?
I can't see and specific property in their ltx definitions

[hollow heron]

I figured it out it’s the crysis mod, but turn off frequency scaling

Third eye opend

Now I gotta figure out how to do weapon repositions

[lilac idol]

wdym

[west cobalt]

like if i had someone commision a animation, and send me the file, could someone pack it into a usable mod?

[lilac idol]

I mean yeah?

[west cobalt]

ok cool

[lilac idol]

but why doesn't the animator do it himself

[west cobalt]

he dosent know too much about stalker

never really modded shit, hes just extremely good at blender animations

[lilac idol]

well as long as he's using the correct rig for x-ray I guess it'll be fine

[west cobalt]

he is, he had another modder give him everything he needs

[lilac idol]

although good luck trying to find someone willing to export everything and prepare it all for him lol

[west cobalt]

im willing it pay, thats my point

i just wanted to know if its possible with a animation file

only

[lilac idol]

idk if someone will accept money for that, but good luck tho

[west cobalt]

already got like 8 dms saying they know alot about stalker, i offered around 100-150 normally

but this was in the anomaly discord

but its 8 for different things

[lilac idol]

100 for that???

[west cobalt]

i have money to spend, why not lmfao

[lilac idol]

yeah they tryna scam you lol

[west cobalt]

its a important fucking animation

[glad mirage]

Why does this smell fishy

[west cobalt]

no i OFFERED 100

this animation means the WORLD in a way

big ass deal ya hear

[lilac idol]

fuck it I'll do it for free

[west cobalt]

bruh

[lilac idol]

send me the blend file

[west cobalt]

hes still working on it

i told him id pay him 200 if its really good quality

and he said hes very down

guess what animation it is

[lilac idol]

no idea tbh

[west cobalt]

(its very important)

cocaine.

theres no cocaine animation atm

[lilac idol]

lmao

[west cobalt]

but imagine

your character

[lilac idol]

[west cobalt]

doing a fucking line

before anything

like lets be fr

[lilac idol]

tactical sniff

[west cobalt]

nah fr

Addictive Drug Animation Pack incoming

[lilac idol]

brutal ngl

[glad mirage]

Worse is that its actually what optimal gameplay feels like

[lilac idol]

yeah lmao

[west cobalt]

is it hard to import animations from say, EFT into stalker? or when people say import, is that just making a 1:1 replica?

[old berry]

i mean some guy figured out how to port cod mw2 animations into anomaly so i guess so

[west cobalt]

cause what kinda mods do you conjure, i might need to get a commission from you if you take them

[west cobalt]

what the fuck

like old mw2? or newer

[old berry]

newer the shaky one

[lilac idol]

I make animations

[west cobalt]

like, hand model type ones

[lilac idol]

yeah

[west cobalt]

ok i was thinking that

[old berry]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1M3DhYeEiH/?spm_id_from=333.1007.top_right_bar_window_custom_collection.content.click&vd_source=bf972c58b1152b4c1169e5ab15c69ba3

[west cobalt]

im gonna guess "animations" in this game are almost always hand animations, meds, reload, etc etc

[lilac idol]

this type of anims, this one is from 3 weeks ago

[west cobalt]

how long does it take you to make someone on those lines?

if you were paid aswell

[lilac idol]

like a month or maybe less

I can make one single animation in 2 days easily but I also have to make a minimum of animations

which ends up being like ~20 anims

[west cobalt]

do you have any examples for food/medical type animations?

[lilac idol]

nope

although I could probably make one

[west cobalt]

if you can, lmk, you might take the cocaine dealer spot

[lilac idol]

nah leave that to the other guy

[west cobalt]

fent dealer?

[lilac idol]

I can make something else if you want

[west cobalt]

lemme look at the anomaly menu and see what they have

fent may be the priority

oh on the real note

animation for the survival kit

would actually go hard asf

[lilac idol]

I forgot what that was tbh

[old berry]

that green bag thing

[west cobalt]

shi dont got a anim

but its hella good

so lik

it dont add up

[lilac idol]

i think that was removed from the gamma loot pool last update

[west cobalt]

you can still buy it from traders

i think atleast

i remember buying one

i might be tripping

[lilac idol]

well i think i can make one for that

although i don't really have a model rn

[west cobalt]

you played S2 yet?

[lilac idol]

nope

[west cobalt]

ok so

you know what a epipen is right?

[lilac idol]

i was actually saving up to buy it

[west cobalt]

like a rust syringe

[lilac idol]

yeah

[west cobalt]

you make me a good anim, ill buy it for you

[old berry]

just get it through alternative means wink wink

[west cobalt]

bruh

see thats

yeah

[lilac idol]

they'll never know

[lilac idol]

i guess that sounds like a deal

[lilac idol]

inverted holo

[sullen falcon]

ah shit just realised

ty

[west cobalt]

bro.

[lilac idol]

it might be his

[old berry]

that was made by sodaz

[west cobalt]

yeah

[lilac idol]

crazy ngl

[west cobalt]

ok so pillii

this is the idea i have

ok

so, the rust syringe

yknow, the epipen looking thing

stalker 2 syringe, EFT syringes

the pop and go type deal

[lilac idol]

yeah yeah

[west cobalt]

ok

these look like those right?

like theyd have an animation like it

[sullen falcon]

illegal activities?

[west cobalt]

but this

this is what they look like

in the animation

WHAT THE FUCK

ok so

you see the vision?

we need

the stim type meds

to be stims

[lilac idol]

i mean yeah, but you could also just change the icons

[west cobalt]

variety is the best

[lilac idol]

but i can do them regardless if you want to

[west cobalt]

pillii..

do you want stalker 2

lets lock in

[lilac idol]

i want to get paid

[west cobalt]

do you wanna do half and half, half upfront, half when finished

or whats up

[lilac idol]

wdym

[west cobalt]

stalker is 60$, so 30$ right now to start, and then 30$ when finished

or if you want

we can do it all at the end

up to you

[lilac idol]

idc if im honest

whatever you want

[west cobalt]

erm

how fast do you think you could get this completed?

[lilac idol]

depends on how many different anims you want

and how you want them to be

[west cobalt]

its most likely just 1

as it can be 1 for all 3

type deal

ill send an example

[lilac idol]

oh wait i think someone did reanimate the injectors at some point

[west cobalt]

lmk if you find it

could make something else then

[lilac idol]

yeah lizzardman did

[west cobalt]

hmmm

[old berry]

remake the cheese medkit

[west cobalt]

YES

that animation is pretty mid

so it indeed does

need a makeover

make it the car from eft

imagine

lmfao

[lilac idol]

alright tell me how you want it to be

[west cobalt]

ok, lemme go look for an example

Salewa?

lemme keep looking

[sullen falcon]

what about the stimpak animation from fallout?

[west cobalt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O2Ldg-y4Gc

2:54

that could go hard

[west cobalt]

lemme look at that, i remember it being pretty good

[sullen falcon]

https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=stimpak+animation+fallout&mid=295D57771B7431E5FB73295D57771B7431E5FB73&FORM=VIRE

[west cobalt]

mb, wrong time stamp

[west cobalt]

its good, but its like, really fast

[wispy ferry]

damn, that's bing search result
no idea why that amuses me so much, but it do
also, pretty sure that is a modded animation; the normal FO4 stimpak animation is slower and gentler

[west cobalt]

i feel like that would be REALLY good for those injections that only heal red hp

[west cobalt]

@lilac idol would this be hard to do?

only 1 anim as it would fit all 3 medkits

[lilac idol]

I think it's doable

but I don't have the model nor I know how to port from breakout

[west cobalt]

couldnt you use the normal AI-2 model, but fit kinda the same aspect

[lilac idol]

alright I think I get it

I can try to adapt to the same "style"

[west cobalt]

yeah, dude bits the cap off and spits it off, uses it while the medkit is still in the other hand

also, how do i use that injector anim?

i loaded it as a mod and it did not work, something else i have to do?

[lilac idol]

idk I haven't used it myself, you could ask lizzardman

[west cobalt]

alright ty

[west cobalt]

keep me updated if you could, if you dont want too, no need

[lilac idol]

yeah I'll keep you updated whenever I get some progress on it

[west cobalt]

oh yeah, dm me your steam so i can add you for the gift when its done

[boreal hawk]

Is there a good mod for ambient sfx? Like sounds of crows, birds, distance sounds etc

and maybe a reverb mod

[west cobalt]

go to moddb, sort by ambient sfx, then go crazy

thats what i did

[boreal hawk]

ok, ill try. thanks

[boreal hawk]

I found a mod for ambient but I didnt find one for outdoor indoor reverb. Do you happen to know one? I would apreciate it

[lilac idol]

that doesn't exist

openal isn't a thing yet

[boreal hawk]

Oh... well, Ill leave it then. Do you know a good mod for ambience sfx? sounds of wildlife, etc

[lilac idol]

not really, I haven't looked much into that

[quasi narwhal]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/retune-ambience-sounds

[sudden inlet]

Does anyone know how BHS works? Apparently any medkit should heal you infinitely because of this code (timedhealth is always 60000) but it definitely stops somehow. Any chance someone know where it does stop?

if time_global()-medkits.lastregen>medkits.timedhealth then
        medkits.lastregen=time_global()
        for k,v in pairs(timedhp) do
            if v>0 then 
                timedhp[k]=timedhp[k]-1
                health[k]=health[k]-1
            end
            if v<0 then
                timedhp[k]=0
            end
        end
        SaveHealthStatus()

This code you are showing is not "healing" you. It is decrementing your temporary limb HP when it is time for it to decay.

[slow bolt]

How would subtracting heal you i wonder

[opal void]

I need you guys to make this game have Frame Generation and FSR, along with editing the engine to make it multiple threaded.

[rancid oar]

try lossless scaling, its 5 bucks on steam rn and it has fsr framegen

[opal void]

I use lossless scaling

[rancid oar]

you have to run it everytime you run gamma but its better than nothing

oh word

yeah having that built in would be so nice, multithreading too

[opal void]

Well

23 year old engine, if I am not wrong

But this community cant let go

[rancid oar]

haha yup

[stone orchid]

Does anyone know how to swap hands modes hud? I saw someone said I should replace them in file ltx, where can I find it? For ex I want to replace merc ace suit for dolg redline, can someone explain pls? Ty

[stone orchid]

someone pls

[wispy ferry]

patience, bud
testing a thing if I can just do it for you (because I want to see if I can DLTX edit it) and whether or not this works I'll tell you the way that does work in just a bit

[stone orchid]

Thanks dude

[wispy ferry]

well shit, this worked perfectly, with this mod your hands now have the redline appearance instead of ACE
install as a normal mod on MO2
included in the .rar is also my slightly-shitty guide to DLTX edits, so you can do more yourself

[stone orchid]

Dude, I really appreciate it. My god thank you so much)

[wispy ferry]

the other way to do this would have been to:
search for THAP on MO2
right click on 375- THAP Re-work - Max_im16, open in explorer
gamedata > configs > mod_system_THAP_Rework.ltx
and change

player_hud_section            = actor_hud_seva_ace```
to
```![merc_ace_outfit]
player_hud_section            = actor_hud_redline_novice```

sometimes the DLTX method (seen in the tiny mod above) doesn't work because of some load order stuff I'm too stupid to understand
modifying the highest-number-priority base mod will work, long as it doesn't get updated

[stone orchid]

Ah shit dude, I meant heavy red line suit, PSZ-9d Duty armor this one) But I'll try do it myself, anyway ty

[rancid oar]

the file actor_hud_hand_animations.ltx also is basically a list of all the possible actor_hud hand models, so if you want to swap a hand model to one that isn't listed in the thap_rework.ltx file you can look it up there

this one :)

[stone orchid]

in the mod folder in gamma, right?

here?

[wispy ferry]

not quite, in the "virtual folder" in MO2
on the right of it

[stone orchid]

but I have these, am I doing smth wrong?

[wispy ferry]

put "animations" in the search bar in the bottom, as shown in screenshot

[stone orchid]

Ah yeah, I see now

[wispy ferry]

or, just open the mod I sent you, change the config to say this instead

player_hud_section            = actor_hud_duty_pantsir```
(the "pantsir" and "heavy_redline" outfits use the same hand models)

[stone orchid]

Ah, ty

[wispy ferry]

do note that you do obviously need to relaunch the game to make sure the changes actually stick
should be obvious, but still

[stone orchid]

Yeah I got it, so last question if you dont mind. I change the line, now I should to do what? Because I unpacked ur .rar file, not quite get it

Or I should replace it in the .rar file?

like here?

[wispy ferry]

oh, no sorry
right click the mod you have installed on MO2, open in explorer, then modify in there
gamedata > configs > mod_system_z_THAP_custom.ltx

[stone orchid]

ahhh

Okay

[wispy ferry]

you can change the file and repack the .rar or .zip or w/e and install the new version
but for a small tweak like this it's far easier to just modify the file

[stone orchid]

Now I get it. Big thanks to all of you, who helped me, poor dumb)

[wispy ferry]

I was also a very poordumb before I figured out the magic of DLTX...
I still haven't figured it out good, so I am still mostly a poordumb, but a bit less
have fun!

[hollow heron]

How do I do weapon repositions? I have the mod, I made the folder for the gun but still doesn’t work

[summer stream]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1226131003681013880

get this

do the reposition

apply

go into anomaly folder, find cache_dbg.ltx

do the same file but mod_system_repos.ltx in configs

copy and paste with !

[swift kernel]

is there a way to reload a mod while playing? im pretty new to developing and its pretty tedious to close the game every time i do a modification in the mod

[slow bolt]

only certain things can be reloaded

99% of games you need full restart

what are you editing?

[naive snow]

If you're editing ltx values or updating certain script you can simply hit F7 > numpad 0> F5 and that'll trigger a quick reload.

[fair inlet]

this applies only to ltx files included in system 🤓

[random fulcrum]

it also reloads other ltxs

[sudden inlet]

May I have any tip for to calculate percentage satiety of food? Right now I found this code, but it's little bit incorrect (52% instead of 44%) and I have no idea how to find out the correct calculations:

local eat_sat = ini_sys:r_float_ex(section, "eat_satiety")
local conditions = db.actor:cast_Actor():conditions()
local red_icon_satiety = conditions:SatietyCritical() * 0.5
local max_satiety = 1 - red_icon_satiety
local sat_num = eat_sat / max_satiety * 100
return sat_num

[random fulcrum]

satiety is super easy as 1000 kcal is the maximum

so just divide by 10

the code you posted uses the satiety value when you get the red status icon as a minimum

instead of using true zero as the minimum

[sudden inlet]

Incredible, lemme try.
It works, daaaamn

[merry bramble]

Is there any HD models for Lass?

[wispy ferry]

doesn't LASS only effect player hand models and voice?
or if you mean the third-person view models, then... no, unless the HD Models pack (which I don't recommend) has lady stalker models in it

[merry bramble]

hum oh wellzies

[quasi narwhal]

is there a way to easily teleport to where you're looking at (either on free fly or not) when you're in debug mode?
asking this here cause otherwise i'm making it into a mod

[fair canopy]

those are some ugly icons

[covert topaz]

[west cobalt]

how do i export a blender object as a ogf

[west cobalt]

honestly a really cool concept, adding stalker 2 things to gamma

[white field]

is there an explanation of what all the voiceline folders are for? im curious here if friend_hitted refers to actor hitting a friend or actor watching a friend get hit

[sudden inlet]

IIRC they are being used manually in the code, guess you have to look there too

And looks like it's being used here: 209- Death Animations (if you like shooting extra ammo on dead people) - xcvb\gamedata\configs\creatures\m_stalker.ltx

[white field]

i tried some audio translator to see what the lines were and so far i have
attack = random in combat dialogue and specific responses to enemy count
backup = actor is moving defensively
cover fire = actor is providing cover fire
detour = actor is moving offensively
enemy = actor sees enemy
enemy down = actor sees enemy killed
enemy hit = actor sees enemy took damage
fire = actor is shooting dialogue
friend hitted = actor friend received damage
friendly fire = actor got friendlyfired
friendly grenade = actor sees friendly player with nade equipped(?)
grenade = actor sees enemy grenade, actor deploys grenade
post combat wait = actor after combat ends but still alert, actor after combat ends into idling
searching enemy = actor looking for enemies they heard or lost sight of
threat = actor taunts based on distance
tolls = actor friend dies

[west cobalt]

would anyone be willing to help me pack a mod? i had someone commision me a blender file for a cocaine animation, but i have 0 idea how to put it into the game, any help would be great!

[west cobalt]

@faint sable

[faint sable]

I just do guns

[west cobalt]

isnt it animations though?

but i do got another question, im working on a cocaine animation for the GAMMA pack, if i chose a arm model and a knife model in game
well, in blender, would it use my equipped stuff ingame

[faint sable]

I just port with existing animations, I don't make them myself

[west cobalt]

which is what i have

i have the blender file

i just dont have a clue of what to do next

[west cobalt]

do you have maybe, an idea of how to move forward with it or no

[faint sable]

hmm best to ask Lizzardman or any animators that do items, Lizzarddman is my first to ask since he does animations like surgery kit and injection stim animations so probably him

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1137162280816099450 might can find him in this thread

[west cobalt]

Paying 30$ paypal, cashapp, or venmo to have someone implement a animation into the game, (already have the blender file)

[covert pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/look-up-scared-willem-dafoe-gif-17761333

[west cobalt]

take the offer

[queen kiln]

Anyone able to help me with a crash I keep getting from ZLM? Unsure of what I'm messing up here, not super tech savvy in terms of crash reports

[celest forge]

Are they animations for STALKER or from other games that you want to port to STALKER

[west cobalt]

animations FOR stalker, i had someone commission a Cocaine Animation, i made the mistake of getting a commission that didnt involve adding it to the game, so i just got a file with everything exported from blender

gamma didnt have a anim for it, so i was like, yknow thats a funny animation that needed to be added

so i paid a dude to make one, he did, but now im in another roadblock

[celest forge]

Oh ok

If you want send me the files and ill try my best, ill take the $30 offer lol

[west cobalt]

bet, ill take this to dms

[split bane]

I'm looking to commission a mod for an alteration to the Kar98k, is this the right place to find people or is there a better place?

[slow nexus]

look the gain and the effect send are already at max volume there isnt much i can do beyond that but you're free to modify your sEnvironment.xr and pump the gain on all the presets

[rancid oar]

alright i see

[gleaming tide]

why all animations need their own HUD preset

[slow nexus]

offsets

[wispy ferry]

speaking of, can I DLTX edits to weapon HUD offsets, or do I need to edit the weapon ltx directly? doesn't seem to stick with the usual method of
![wpn_name_hud]
followed by the values

[sudden inlet]

Any chance someone know how Grok calculated these BR and stopping power for ammo?
I was hoping cxv_ammo_stats_tbl.script is responsible for calculations but apparently it is not

        <text>Military 5.45x39 calibre HP is an hollow point round for automatic rifles of Warsaw Pact countries.\n
        \n%c[ui_gray_2] - %c[ui_gray_2] Armor penetration power (AP): %c[ui_gray_1]BR1 (15)

    </string>

[slow bolt]

its in the ammo config

[gleaming tide]

This is just text visible in the game 🐴

[lilac idol]

this is an xml file, it only defines text

you probably want to look for the gbo script

whatever its called

[sudden inlet]

Gotcha, looking into these things

Can I do that with only 1 animation in a set?

[late ravine]

Im uploading something too

[simple scaffold]

There is probably a conflicting DLTX that is undoing yours

[fair canopy]

anyone know if the game will crash if a trade profile has an item that isn't in the game? or will it just ignore that item?

[lilac idol]

well I know that if an NPC loadout has an item that doesn't exist and an NPC spawns with that nonexistent item it will crash
I haven't tried with trade profiles tho, but I guess it's the same

[celest forge]

I think ignore

[fair canopy]

[alpine jungle]

shot in the dark here, cause ive looked and looked what would handle what happens when clicking to drag an item in any inventory? looking to add ISFX to play its sounds on click as it does on take?

[sudden inlet]

Will this list help? https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/scripting/callbacks.html?highlight=events#i-introduction
It has ActorMenu_on_item_before_move and ActorMenu_on_item_drag_drop, sounds like it can work

[sudden inlet]

Any chance you would know where the knives numbers calculations are? They are already baked in the xml but I can't find any code related to this

[slow bolt]

same place. Knives .ltx

[sudden inlet]

no wae, taking a look

[alpine jungle]

thank you SaloEater ive looked there and was trying to implement a couple of those ill keep trying

[sudden inlet]

but what about pelts quality? would appreciate any help

[slow bolt]

quality as in drop quality or ..?

[sudden inlet]

Yeah, in drop quality

[slow bolt]

idk that one. Mutants iirc are handled differently

[sudden inlet]

I expected there is a script/ltx with simple code but there is nothing (for now)

[brazen pier]

I'm new to programming.
Could someone help me understand how the CreateTimeEvent function works?
https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/scripting/time_events.html

I'm just doing a test, I've created a function (test_time) that sends a message to the console
I did in an on_game_start() function
CreateTimeEvent(“event_test”, “action_test”, 5, test_time)
ResetTimeEvent(“event_test”, “action_test”, 1)
The problem is that the test_time function loops every frame from the moment the 5 seconds have passed... but I'd like the function to be read only once, but to repeat every 6 seconds.

[sudden inlet]

Reset doesn't "resets" the timer but "delays"
From what I understood and what I do is you have to create a new time event when this one ends

[brazen pier]

ok I'll test that!

[sudden inlet]

note that you need different time event ids

[sudden inlet]

Hey! Ane chance you also know where do Grok have code/configs for how knives cut pelts with different quality?

[lilac idol]

no idea

[sudden inlet]

daaaamn 😭

[covert pivot]

Dynamic NPC loadouts should work since it checks for the section to exist first when reading the inital data, and does nothing if it doesnt exist. Only issue might be when the name matches a section that isnt a weapon i guess.

[brazen pier]

It seems to work, thank you very much.

[sudden inlet]

[sudden inlet]

Thank you! Just casually saved hours of my life

[covert pivot]

You can search stuff like that in #📢development too, tho its always not very apparent or easy to find, but if its a recent change then thats the best place to find code that was changed for some feature

[brazen pier]

Does anyone know what I can use in a script to test whether the pause menu is open?

[covert pivot]

check the "Return Main Menu Music" mod or whatever its called. its included in gamma

[brazen pier]

Ok, I just looked and found main_menu_on_init()
I'd already seen it in the help book and tested it, but it didn't work... I must have made a mistake... I'll try again

[brazen pier]

It's working, thanks

[covert pivot]

it is a bit iffy, ive had plenty of times when the main menu music kept playing after closing it, so there might be some issue with detecting the closing of main menu

[next robin]

how would i go along with editing gun stats or the armor pen of ammos? I just wanna tweak the pen of 338 lapua because I noticed that it sometimes 2 shots people when lapua punches through exo suit stalkers with 1 shot no problem. I already made a ltx for armor stat tweaks, so should I go along with making a new ltx file?

and furthermore, would it matter if i put weapon tweaks in the same ltx as ammo tweaks? and is there a formula to calculating what a ammo type can pen like the (1-hit_fraction_actor)*.75 of armor stats?

[slow bolt]

solved in 1.5.3

or should be anyway

it was a problem of the callback

[covert pivot]

Definetly had it on 1.5.3, not sure if 093 tho or just 091

Ive been just disabling the menu music anyways since it doesnt care for the music volume slider and blows my ears off

[slow bolt]

its a problem of certain menus not sedning the callback

Hard to solve

[next robin]

and is there also a formula regarding weapon damage and such, and how would i go along with reducing the recoil of a certain gun, higher = better or vice versa

thats all i need to figure out

[charred ether]

was there ever any further talk about this?

[west cobalt]

hey guys, would someone be willing to help me replace 1 animation with another?

ive never made a mod before and was thinking of a animation that already exists, and how it would go better on another medical item

but dont have a clue where to start

[flint fern]

I am looking to get a default axr_options.ltx file - mainly just the values for the SSS, but the whole thing would be handy to have.

[cunning cloud]

Good night, Is there any mod that improves the lighting and texture of building interiors?

[celest forge]

Not really

[west cobalt]

we need ELFX in this hoe (iykyk)

[split bane]

Is anyone here good at creating weapon assets? I'm looking to commission essentially a new version of the Kar98k. In all likelihood it would probably be an upgrade kit for it and convert it to .45 and give it a threaded barrel. It's based off of a conversion kit created by Rhineland Arms and I can't get one irl so I've decided to live vicariously through Stalker if possible.

[wispy ferry]

this mod (sets stimpacks to use an alternate animation from back when all stimpacks used the slower large injector animations) shows the DLTX method and the folder structure for it
if you can find the animation filename and the other information, it can be as simple as that

[west cobalt]

ill def take a look, im trying to made the injector animation from BHS remade and put it to the 3 medkits, and the 3 injectors in gamma, as those are pretty lame

oh shoot, this is not really what i meant

i see what you mean though

[west cobalt]

the BHS remade animation is a different mod, not one already present in the game

but its made for the injectors in that mod, so im wondering if its possible to make it replace the animation for the medkits in gamma

[summer stream]

yes

but that is pointless

[plucky path]

The Rare Stash Balance mod has the treasure manager ltx

Is the list below the only types of items that are included in the stashes?

I opened so many stashes but didn't see most of the armors in the list below

I know that some of them are removed from survivalist but I still haven't seen the ones which aren't blacklisted

After dozens of stashes with the correct tier chance in north locations

Am I reading it wrong or just unlucky

[opal void]

axr_options.ltx?

Default, as in unmodified?

[next robin]

anyone know the formula for calculating health_restore_speed

[sudden inlet]

When I researched that I looked in all gamma mods for "[health_restore_speed]" to understand how utils_ui.stats_table works and this file is for health restore speed

[next robin]

hm ok

[random fulcrum]

that field is just scaled with the time between frames

that's it

[next robin]

yeah its just blabber, i need the actual formula bc im tweaking an attachment

[random fulcrum]

what you referenced is the script layer's representation of it

there's no formula

[next robin]

fuck

[random fulcrum]

it's just scaled to framerate

that's it

every entity's health is 0..1

[next robin]

ill keep putting on decimals then

[random fulcrum]

that's all you need to know because it's all there is to know

[next robin]

alr then, imma try 0.025, im aiming for 10 health rest so

[random fulcrum]

try multiplying it by 360

[next robin]

That makes 9

[random fulcrum]

6 for the alife update rate I THINK
and 60 for a full minute

then you recover 900 health in a minute

[next robin]

hmm

i see

Shows as 165

Ill take it down to 0.000025

[random fulcrum]

165 what

[next robin]

Health restoration

[random fulcrum]

oh poor guy

are you on 0.9.3

[next robin]

Yep

[random fulcrum]

oof

[next robin]

Last updated 12/10/24

[random fulcrum]

just use math

no number is accurate

ingame

[next robin]

Ive learned that with gamma, no value is ever correct

[random fulcrum]

yes that is what i said

[next robin]

yeah

imma keep guessing snd checking since i got hours of time on my hands

[random fulcrum]

brother multiply by 360

and be done with it

or just by 6

why complicate it so much

[next robin]

Ok all good now

Ty for the help faust, sozz for the time waste

[gleaming tide]

Guys, can u tell me more about mod_actor_effects?

Basically swapping weapon effects using 1 line?

[flint fern]

Yes. Basically a fresh install before anyone messes with the SSS options.

[opal void]

Oh

I already messed with the SSS options

Used the anomaly custom configuration that gave me around 10fps more

Looks pretty too

Some LUT, grass mod, and the game looks like a 2018 title

[flint fern]

mine looks good too, but still want to default the SSS settings I have messed with and give that a run.

[opal void]

What directx are you playing on?

[flint fern]

11

[opal void]

Nice. Hows the performance?

[flint fern]

45+ on high-ish settings with an old computer.

[opal void]

Real nice

I can barely keep up 40-50 haha

[flint fern]

I may be upgrading to a GTX1080, but don't expect much fps from it.

yo how does one start creating mods for anomally. I'm looking throught the anomally moding book and its confusing af. Is there any other way to learn?

[summer stream]

you just

reverse engineer it

[gleaming tide]

[summer stream]

it's simple

just do stuff like ltx and then slowly get to modeling

you need blender 3.6 or maya

[gleaming tide]

Look at the similar mod to that you want to make

[gleaming tide]

It would be if like 30% of stuff wasn't obsolete inside those files

Question about Trader.ltx.

Example: Medkit = 3, 0.50

I know what these numbers mean. The first number represents the quantity and the second represents the spawn change. But I want to vary the quantity (1, 2 or 3 Medkits possible each spawn), how does that work?

[ember blade]

Does craft.ltx not support recipes that create more/less quantity than the default amount?

[regal bolt]

I've never made a mod and don't know how hard it would be. But a mod that shortens the distance between Rostok and Garbage wuld have been my favorite. Because that path is the worst…

[summer stream]

Sir

you have fast travel

[gaunt mirage]

I always used "Aydin's HUD and UI Tweaks", but now - with the new 0.93 UI - the new % numbers overlap the bars and it's a real mess!
I know it's not an actual bug... but it's an annoyance introduced with 0.93. If any modder/s of the new UI knew how to hide the bar of other UI mods would be awesome.

[regal bolt]

Yea but I don't use fast travel. Because you know... immersion. But I guess I'll have to start doing it at that road.

[wispy ferry]

you already have the additional travel spots now! goes from the Garbage gate to just south of the Duty intersection
used to be you always had to run the whole long ass path

[late kestrel]

i just threw myself into blender and watched videos for 4 hours i never bothered with anything else

modeling is fun!!!... ish

[floral cave]

Hi anyone knows what happens here thank you so much

installing all ghillied r700 mod

[regal bolt]

Do you mean there is a shorter way already? I'll have to check that out tonight.

[wispy ferry]

yeah, I think as part of 400- Bar Map Edits - Karobeccary (which also opens a couple doorways to allow easier movement through the base)
there's an additional point slightly closer to the Garbage gate, leads you right next to the checkpoint
usually safe from dogs, and I've not been hit by any anomaly on route from there to the Dooters yet

[regal bolt]

Love it! thanks for pointing that out!

hi does anyone know how to properly reposition weapon with 3DSS scope ? I have ported SR25 from EFP (alt aim + grenade launcher) to my GAMMA but i dont like position of weapon, when i try reposition it with HUD offset editor, the aim is totally fucke* up, thx 🙂

[simple scaffold]

No. The first number represents the number of times the item will be rolled. In your example it's a coin flip. The coin will be flipped three times. Each time it is heads a medkit is given to the vendor. This could be 0 medkits or 1,2 or 3. With an average of 1.5

So yo answer your question you list the max number you ever want to see and then pick a probability that puts the average where you want it.

[frank flicker]

got it, but it takes a lot of time😅

[misty mulch]

got as far as generating a list of all possible roots, then apparently my brain decided all I do is play PDX grand strat games this winter

[fair canopy]

Yes. It does.

It still doesn't look right. Compare it with another scope

[frank flicker]

yep ik, this 3DSS thing is new for me 😅

[teal phoenix]

my condolences

[fair canopy]

You can take a screenshot of any of the scopes you need to reposition and set it up as an overlay and just copy the position from there

[frank flicker]

Hi guys what do you think, FN40GL on SR25 doesnt have a sights for aiming, so i tried use a ALT aim for grenade launcher aiming works quite well 😅 https://imgur.com/yFhTFgH

[clever fulcrum]

anybody know here, how can i type _underscore in the stalker console config

i have a blackscreen ingame and i try to fix it

[frank flicker]

Im not sure if i get it😅

[wispy ferry]

as in, take a different weapon that can use the scope, put it on and aim down the sight
then take a picture, and make the new weapon's scope match the one already there

[gleaming tide]

Interesting decision, wondering how it'd look if I tie canted sight to a wpn_launcher bone

Should hide it if UBGL is not mounted

[frank flicker]

these things are beyond me, in just trying to “port” something from efp and make it work 😅 in my gamma

[fair canopy]

Yeah you can do that. That's how the gl works on the ak12 monolith

[fair canopy]

Send me the zip when you're done

Didn't realize the efp Sr25 has a gl

[gleaming tide]

Hmm, about hiding bones. Can you hide a part when UBGL is attached? Like handle?

[dense marten]

I've been searching files all day and cant find it to save my life.

Does anyone know where to change how long a squad stays on a smart terrain when visiting? if you turn on debug hud you can see the timer counting down when you hover over the squad and i'd like to shorten the time they stay at camps etc.

[frank flicker]

maybe tomorrow or next year , i dont have much time 😅

[frank flicker]

nope, i can only work with LTX files and in game with HUD things

[dense marten]

nvm i think i found the answer if anyone is interested https://www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/forum/thread/some-modding-question

[lilac idol]

not really, you could just make the GL completely overlap the handle

[gleaming tide]

I mean, Andtheherois made lens hider script, I guess this is possible too

[lilac idol]

nah those are completely different things

the farthest I've seen with my eyes is a test script raven made for hiding a mesh when you attach a silencer

which would be the closest to what you want, but with the GL instead of the suppressor

[summer stream]

you can either make it a separate mesh like, handle and it will be hidden when you attach the GL

[charred ether]

now that's a mood

[frank flicker]

for example SR25 from phant0ms endgame weapon pack have tactical handle, u can add GL, and when the GL is attached, the handle will disappear ?

[lilac idol]

no

[fair canopy]

If you add it into the animation, you can do a bone for the handle. Then when you attach the gl you move the handle bone out of the wah

[lilac idol]

yeah that'd be the only way to do it

[fair canopy]

You could hide tge bone when a gl is attach if you find someone to make a script for it like nltp did the lens hider script

[frank flicker]

i can send it, but i have a little problem with rest of the scopes (mark8 rmr is fine), im not able make reposition for the other ones dunno why, and the SR25 uses a multiple texturex from other weapons (pack have 161 mb in Zip7)

[celest forge]

fucking stupid ass engine

[gleaming tide]

we have to learn LUA 💀

[summer stream]

yes

literally the only thing

handle does what?

it disappears

[fair canopy]

What

[lilac idol]

people would find a way to complain about a handle being 10m behind you

[gleaming tide]

Where can I have a look at it?

[celest forge]

I mean a lot already do for double mags or floating casings

[gleaming tide]

This is an anomaly

Floating handle, never heard of it?

[lilac idol]

didn't get past test version

[celest forge]

"Why is this mag floating 10m behind the gun, how fix, gun unusable"

[lilac idol]

I was testing it with blackgrowl a bit ago and it didn't work quite well

[summer stream]

Skill issue

[fair canopy]

GARBAGE

[gleaming tide]

Which I can't even see unless I use demo_record*

[fair canopy]

Just wait for lewd to drop his weapon pack. He'll have a bunch of scripts for weapons

Or cwwp

[celest forge]

Afaik LEWD just does the same thing as scopes

Like he added a new attachment category for the grip and a laser

but you still have to make a hundred models per gun

Like

Base gun, gun+scope, gun+ scope+grip, gun + scope + grip

[lilac idol]

I think ashes figured out a way to make everything use a single ogf

[gleaming tide]

I love having 15TB of the same mesh!

[celest forge]

So if you have a gun with 20 scopes, a grip and a laser that's 61 models

per gun

62 with the world model

124 if you give each mesh it's own world model

lol

[celest forge]

I mean yeah like gunslinger does it

Have you never seen the armature of one of the gunslinger ports?

Fucking 50 bones

[gleaming tide]

Merge and name them wpn_body

done

https://www.mediafire.com/file/aq7swebqzs539u2/SR25_EFP_%2528GAMMA%2529.7z/file here it is 🥹

[fair canopy]

Does the position of the scope change when you attach the gl?

[potent garnet]

how hard is it to add a sight from one mod to a gun from a different mod? It looks like there are individual .ogf's for each sight so is it a matter of animation, or simply configuring .ltxs?

[frank flicker]

nope, but only mark8 rmr is fine

[celest forge]

Someone post a link to my tutorial, im not on PC rn

[lilac idol]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8crq79zMfs&list=WL&index=25&t=680s&pp=gAQBiAQB

[potent garnet]

Sweet thank you.

[summer stream]

honestly im surprised how easy it is to add a scope to gun

[frank flicker]

https://imgur.com/a/lNlct1V

[fair canopy]

So no problem?

[frank flicker]

nope, but the other scopes "wont listen" to me when im trying to do reposition, they are still "off the scope"

[frank flicker]

marchf for example after "succesfull" repos

[fair canopy]

Is this Sr25 overriding the base one in gamma?

[frank flicker]

yes, and its in rifles now and no in snipers

[fair canopy]

That doesn't matter. Add more Zs to your dltx

[frank flicker]

ok i will try it later, but weapons from EFP have a small selection of sights

imma gonna try something with SCARs from EFP (only 7X62), i like SCARs but im not a fan those from BAS (short barrel), and EFP ones have laser https://imgur.com/a/E5yasyV

[frank flicker]

yep, that worked

[random fulcrum]

hang z stackers

[gleaming tide]

whoever adds more Zs wins

[celest forge]

Then youll have to hang me, mamawebo

[fair canopy]

That scope looks like it's slightly oblong?

Nvm it was the aspect ratio on mobile

[covert pivot]

day 1 stalker 2 modding we already had zzzzz_my_mod_is_best.pak stuff

[summer stream]

its all about the z

[covert pivot]

[gleaming tide]

Is it even viable in Stalker 2?

[covert pivot]

yeah, paks get loaded in alphabetical order

so loaded last = wins out

[slow bolt]

They are copying modders

[covert pivot]

gamma truly is the modders of our time

[worthy mortar]

Basically DLTX in Anomaly
Whatever is loaded last is the winner

[white field]

on voiced actor, if you keep adding files to an existing cue and numerically go up, does it register all these lines on its own or do you have to edit the script for it ? the original filecount is up to _15 and i went up to _31

[woven mountain]

Does anyone here know C++? I had an idea I wanted to do a while ago but couldn't find anyone willing to help. I want to give it another shot. I can offer co-authorship

[fair canopy]

@unreal leaf ?

[unreal leaf]

depends on what it is

Ive onl got limited knowledge, especially if this is xray related

[woven mountain]

It's the bullet trajectory code

[unreal leaf]

right... tell us what you want to achieve and what youre stuck on

[woven mountain]

As far as I remember, enemies do not react to a bullet whizzing by their head. So I wanted to create a mod that would do that by creating sounds along the bullet trajectory. To do that, I need the bullet trajectory. I have not found any mod or utility that tracks the bullet. I want to re-code the system for bullet trajectory, but in Lua so I can get the entire trajectory accurately and also release it as a utility. However, that requires reading the C++ code, which I have tried a few times but can't make sense of.

[random fulcrum]

you don't need to do that at the engine level

you have bullet_on_update in the script layer

you could hack a forced aggro on the update if it whizzes too close to a mob and the bullet is from the player

if you wish to save on performance or idk make it only for the player for some reason

[woven mountain]

How often does that tick again?

[random fulcrum]

idk but it's more than enough for that kind of stuff

unless you have like 1.5km/s+ bullets

but maybe it also works with them

i've used that callback before and it has worked flawlessly

[young gate]

hey when trying to put the blender xray addon, its not working

Ah thank you very mutch! Now the description makes sense. Then I no longer have any questions about that. This is of course much better, because up until now I really thought that there was a 30% probability that the dealer would ALWAYS spawn 3 medkits. Now it spawns 1, 2 or 3. Well, it did that before but I didn't know that. 😄

[steady apex]

Every time bullet updates, so probably every frame

There are not many simultaneously online stalkers, so performance shouldn't be of big concern

[humble otter]

Newbie to modding here so excuse my ignorance. Toying with the skills system code 🙂
Since GAMMA does weapon condition based on the sum of its parts, how does directly changing the condition affect its parts? Does it recalculate their individual condition?
I noticed when my change forces the condition of a weapon to increase by 100% it maxes the condition of each part out, but if I do 50% it seems a bit all over the place.

[trim blaze]

yo can someone help me plzz. I need to know this mod that grok use for the new gun leaning

[summer stream]

isn't that just
use_alt_aim_hud

[vast plaza]

Is there a mod that adds more traders who exchange items for other items? Like in Escape from Tarkov (barter items) or like the dealer "spirit"?

[random fulcrum]

https://github.com/ahuyn/anomaly-barter

there's this ancient ass framework

get to work

[quasi narwhal]

chop chop

[proper comet]

I don't exactly know how it works, but you can check the changelogs since Grok added something for 0.9.3 where if you shoot a gun, it force sets the condition to 85 but doesn't repair the individual parts in it

Looking out for the script responsible for that might help you

[lilac idol]

that's not it you fucking DUMBASS

[vast plaza]

My first question after looking at everything. How is it possible to add barter to random NPCs (not regular traders)? I used esc_2_12_stalker_wolf23043 as an example, but it doesn't show me the barter dialog.

[teal compass]

it should be "grok_gun_condition_fixed.script"

Hi, have anyone plans for converting Blindside´s military pack to 3DSS ? Im quite an AK fanboy (not the blue tape nerd) 😅 and i like his animations and etc, and i would like to use his modpack instead of AK family reanimation, i asked him on patreon and we are free to use his modpack, i have aleady ported VZ58 from his modpack

[simple sequoia]

Afaik 3dss has a step-by-step instruction on how to convert scopes on guns to it.

[gleaming tide]

Go to their thread in #1035807043933720576 find 3DSS ready to go blend file with already fixed scopes

[frank flicker]

do you mean this https://docs.google.com/document/d/15MaqMZlrqsrlGth0t4Y1iL2dFcBnY_j48SSOo0b_mP0/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.dopkke8cprpa ?

You know I was literally just about to ask for some help with 3DSS tweaks, but I think this answers all my questions.

[verbal siren]

When using the Ammo Check mod with OneKey Weapon Controls 1.0.3, some weapons don't have the proper animation, so the mod makes them use a reload animation, but there's no sound, even though normal reload has sound. How do I fix this?

[fair canopy]

Latest ammo check does that?

[verbal siren]

Yeah.

I mean, I probly can just copy the reload anim and name it mag check and add the same sound file?

[lilac idol]

I guess that can happen if the weapon config has
"scripted_snd_reload" instead of "snd_reload"

[gaunt mirage]

I have this file .DDS from Aydin's HUD, how can I make the "Statistics" section transparent to make it support the new 0.93 UI?

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

[wispy ferry]

trading with random stalkers is disabled via the mod G.A.M.M.A. No trade with random stalkers, try to disable that and try then

[verbal siren]

Yeah. Is that the culprit? The no-sound issue is present regardless of what key I'm using to do the mag check - hold R from onekey or double tap F from ammocheck.

[vast plaza]

That was my first thought too. But unfortunately that wasn't the case. I think it's because of the Trader Injector script, which I can't edit. I'm sure you wouldn't have to change much though. That's why I need help from modders who will take a little time for me.

[fair canopy]

i had a feeling. default ammo check doesn't seem to do that. I beleive it's because no scripted sound is defined when the mag check is performed

the poblem with one key is that it's out of date

[verbal siren]

The OneKey Weapon Controls 1.0.3 dev doesn't seem to be active anymore, and he deleted his mod.

[fair canopy]

so that may also be contributing to the issue

yeah. unless someone takes up the project to update it i dont think you'll have a fix to that issue

i tried but im no scripter

the easiest no scirpting way to fix it would be to go through each weapon ltx, and dltx in the reload sound as a scripted sound

[verbal siren]

Yeah, that's less work than what I initially wanted to do.

[thin socket]

How do i make a new aslan that act like original aslan ?

I used the squad id, spawn him at the chair, yet the new aslan still walk around aimlessly

[verbal siren]

So, I did this in a separate mod_system_blahblahblah.ltx:
![wpn_bizon] scripted_snd_ammo_check = weapons\bizon\bizon_reload scripted_snd_ammo_check_empty = weapons\bizon\bizon_reload anm_ammo_check = pp19bbw_reload anm_ammo_check_empty = pp19bbw_reload
Didn't work. Only after adding those lines to the original w_bizon.ltx I made it work. How to dltx tho?
Tried adding more Z's to the filename, but no go. Maybe the scripts don't take dltx-ed entries into account at all?

[idle stone]

Is there a way to tell from when there is a mod or what the version of the mod is from the files in the mods folder?

[verbal siren]

If there's a file, there's a date in the properties.

[idle stone]

That simple. Ok.

[fair canopy]

you didnt add it to the hud section

anim should have been under [wpn_bizon_hud]

[verbal siren]

Now for something completely different. The fact that no one made a mod for this kinda speaks for itself, but would it be possible to make companions act like normal NPCs in fights? I mean the voiced shouts like "cover me" or "don't shoot" (in case of friendly fire). Is it something hardcoded in the engine that they go silent after joining the player?

How can I remove a specific weapon from the NPCs loadout?

[wispy ferry]

by opening each and every loadout the game uses, finding that weapon, and removing it from those lists

[lilac idol]

I dont think you can

your best bet is to remove the weapon

like, completely

[lament moat]

So why are some gamma weapons there in debug menu but not in npcs loadouts?

[lilac idol]

because gamma removes all the weapons from NPCs and adds them one by one

so if you want to do that you have to delete all the loadouts and re-do then

at least that's my understanding of it

you can't just
!![stalker_novice]
wpn_something

that would delete the entire loadouts for stalker_novice

[fair inlet]

soulcrystal's mossberg reanim has some script iirc

[lilac idol]

now that you say it I saw demo talk about that a bit a go

[lament moat]

I just want a weapon to not spawn anymore , is there not a exclude_weapon thing?

In a old version of gamma I think there was

[lilac idol]

just try looking at soul's Mossberg script

I don't think anything like that exists with dltx

[fair inlet]

you can use dltx, but it won't be easier than just editing ltx, yeah
