[covert pivot]

Wouldnt something like
![stalker_novice]
!wpn_something
work

I think youd need to match the exact numbers after too

[lilac idol]

yeah even if that worked you'd have to match all the :r:r numbers

[covert pivot]

So easier to just alter the base ltx at that point

[lilac idol]

so it could go on for like 100 lines

[covert pivot]

:r:r numbers no

Just having r:r if its written in base ltx should be fine

Script reads the :r:r text, what it does after with it isnt really relevant

Dltx stuff would work while script reads ltx file

[lilac idol]

still easier to edit the base ltx for the end user

[covert pivot]

Time to add weapon exclusion list to the script (i wont)

best to follow Juans guide on how to add sights/scopes from BAS or other gun mods that introduce new scopes/sights

to any gun

[lilac idol]

some might

[waxen crane]

ayo, can someone chekout my .blend of an animation i made, if it fits the modding standard, and knows how to implement it into the game?

[fair canopy]

you threw away SO MUCH coke

good anim tho

[waxen crane]

still needs help, how to get it into the game 🥲

[fair canopy]

@slow bolt

[slow bolt]

bruh

that is someone else's anim

[waxen crane]

i made it...?

[slow bolt]

juan implemented it into the game

i doubt

A guy came before and you are a new account

Unless you are the same dude ofc

[waxen crane]

ye.. i sold it to a guy.. and he just redo an anim.. but i want it for myself now lol

[slow bolt]

Well juan made it into the game already

so @celest forge

[celest forge]

Not the same anim

Two versions of the same anim but it's not the same

[waxen crane]

this is redone anim

[slow bolt]

[waxen crane]

so.. wanna check out .blend ?

[vast plaza]

Mod Request:

Is there a mod that makes NPCs' footsteps quieter? Currently you can hear every NPC way too far away. I often have to look around because I think the npc is right behind me. When I see him, he's 20-30m away. I think if the footsteps of npcs are 50%-60% quieter it's realistic.

[waxen crane]

i have .ogg with SFX ready as well, everything on one armature with animations per object, and hand animation on armature

[glad mirage]

yeah this doesnt seem to cover mesh files in the dynamics file

which are reponsible for world models

which is currently the cause of the crash

[faint sable]

to make a world model you need to make all bone vertexes wpn_body

and give it a shape BOX, make it Rigid, and give 10 mass

no reason to make world models though if it already has a world model, giving it world models for sights/scopes is silly imo, makes more bloat

simply just make its visual path the original world model and it'll be fine or don't give it any path and it works

[glad mirage]

yeah i actually did that instead

[celest forge]

Just use the base world model

[waxen crane]

Can anyone help me out with exporting animation from blender to a game? I have .blend and .ogg for SFX...

[simple sequoia]

Do you have PavelBlend addon in Blender?
Then you select the gun, export omf, select hands, export omf(as different file), hook up anims in wpn_daGun.ltx and you should be good

Also, before you might need to export the gun itself as Ogf.

If it is modifying bones/adding new gun

[waxen crane]

ye.. im kinda lost there

im getting an error

when tryin to export .ogf

[simple sequoia]

Gimme some time, I'll look up a tutorial I made for sdk.(Or a guide) From my animating days.

[waxen crane]

i can send you .blend if you are willing to look it up

[simple sequoia]

Idk if I have sdk set up after all this time to do anything with it but if you want then sure. I'll look it over

[waxen crane]

thanks mate!

@simple sequoia sent you to the dms

[wintry flare]

If I want to override / ignore a few specific sections within an earlier loading mod's .ltx file, without overriding the entire mod or file, is there an elegant way to do that?

[gleaming tide]

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

First link, somewhere there

[simple sequoia]

My old guide on how to rig, animate and export stuff using SDK. Might help someone. Probably outdated, but "it works for me".

It's copied from discord thread so formatting is fucked but I can't be bothered to fix.

btw, does anyone know if I can reload config/script changes without restart game?

[slow bolt]

in debug menu

but only some. Scripts will be reloaded with save/load or with that option

but only some configs will

[simple sequoia]

Thanks

[vital dock]

how to I resize ui icons?

the new mk47 mutant icon is humongous

do i just pop paint.net/photoshop open then size it down?

[slow bolt]

As in size in MBs or..?

[vital dock]

like the size of the icon when it's in my inventory

the ui icon size

[slow bolt]

how cant it be massive. Its the size of the weapon in slots

post the pic

[vital dock]

it's not that massive, it just looks bigger than most of the other big rifles icons so i'd love to have it scaled down by 10-15% or something

personal taste, ui designer related ocd-thing

[slow bolt]

Then yeah, you just scale the icon itself without resizing

[vital dock]

which dds format should i choose when exporting with photoshop nvidia plugin?

8888 32bpp?

[amber jackal]

Hi, is there a mod or something which removes your incoming damage difference when you get shot to head vs body to make it even so no matter where bullet lands ?

[slow bolt]

same format it was saved in before

[slow bolt]

not exactly a mod asking channel here

[amber jackal]

sorry still new here, could maybe get direction which files to edit, like G.A.M.M.A. Actor Damage Balancer what to change if possible, also this this same file responsible for fast armor degradation if so which file to edit ?

[lilac idol]

keep in mind that a 1x1 icon is 50x50 pixels

[slow bolt]

same script

[lilac idol]

that's basically all you need to know

[unkempt trail]

hello guys, anybody knows how to change weapons stats ? Wanna upgrade ak 104 alfa a litte bit

[lilac idol]

find the weapon id, it should be something like "wpn_ak104alpha" or something like that
then search in mo2 for w_ak104alpha aka the weapon id from before and edit the config values

[teal compass]

hi, how do you change the 3dss scope shadow of scopes? I was trying to fix a sniper mod and not sure how to edit this shadow. thanks!

[slow bolt]

bring the scope closer/further to yo face

[teal compass]

so that's the only solution? I felt like the scope pos is at the right place

[fair canopy]

It's relative to the shadow settings. You can individually adjust it if you want but as long as you move it closer you'll get close to how I set them up for gamma

Unless you're making new scopes, all scopes are setup

[teal compass]

it's a builtin scope for a sniper not sure if it's a new scope, but I'll adjust the aim pos for now

[fair canopy]

Which gun?

[teal compass]

frosty's iwp wa2000 which replaces vanilla wa2000

btw I fixed the aim pos so now it works well, thanks!

well I got new problems

[teal compass]

fixed it again, now its done

[fair canopy]

I'm surprised it didn't have 3dss configs

[teal compass]

It does say 3dss supported but it was last update in july 2024, My guess is that its 3dss support is outdated

when I downloaded it it was first the black scope len so I changed its texture path in ogf to make the crosshair came back, then I ask here to fixed the shadow, and then I notices that the current 3dss needs two hide lens with scope_back and scope_zwrite, and this wa2000 only has he scope_back hide len so I have to add the scope_zwrite hide len in blender to make it finally work

anyways I guess I fixed it for the current 3dss build

[fair canopy]

Ah very nice

Yeah I remember doing the original version but never updated it

[teal compass]

one question can I post fixed like this in mod posting? with proper credits for sure

[fair canopy]

Go ahead

Did you update the configs to match what the current 3dss syntax is?

[teal compass]

let me check

this is the config, I looked into it and saw that it has 3ds_reticle_size instead of s3ds_reticle_size. Is there any differnce in it? everything else is same to the current ones

[fair canopy]

It would be best to make sure it matches current syntax

[teal compass]

alright let me fix that then

thanks for all the help btw

yep with s3ds crosshair looks much better, that should be it

[fair canopy]

Iirc I had it set to ffp scope but I don't remember but that looks good regardless

Just make sure your shadows are centered as well

[teal compass]

the config has s3ds_ffp_min_zoom is that the thing

[teal compass]

oh I just notice that lol imma edit it sometime

[teal compass]

ok this looks pretty centered now

[fair canopy]

Move your aim orientation a little to the left. You're off center

[teal compass]

alright I would do that when I wake up

[white field]

if i share a dltx weapon edit thing with a fiernd, and it edits a weapon they dotn have cuz they dont have the mod, will it crash their game or something bad?

[sacred token]

No

[fair granite]

someone knows what file dictates mutant hp?

[white field]

thx

[random fulcrum]

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

why is bro asking for a mod that adds a vanilla feature

[sacred token]

https://github.com/Tosox/STALKER-Anomaly-gamedata/tree/v1.5.2/gamedata%2Fconfigs%2Fcreatures here are all mutant files. Then just search for health

But GAMMA most probably has overwritten the original files or used dltx files to edit some values

[random fulcrum]

health in mutants isn't used anywhere

any thing's health is determined by their resistance to whatever damage type they're taking damage from

as otherwise everything has 1 health

or 100 scaled

[cloud bluff]

how can i check what version my moded exes are ?

[gleaming tide]

weird system 🐴

[random fulcrum]

like i think it's used for offline alife shit but otherwise nah health is strictly determined by damage resistances

[fair granite]

I ended up making changes to grok_bo to change "mutant hp"

making them take more damage

[sacred token]

Ah yeah my fault, that was some offline stuff

[cloud bluff]

if i yolo replace my moded exes with the ones from the github would i have problems ?

[quartz dome]

No

[sacred token]

The current modded exes pack the gamedata files in a db file. The old files would need to be deleted since gamma still uses a modded exes version which uses the loose files.

[fair granite]

Also, what is that ltx file that affects how many of a item can drop? like ammo stack sizes and stuff

Its death_generic?

[simple sequoia]

Yeah, death_generic.ltx

[fair granite]

There is anything else that affect the ammo drop ammount? Like, for example, I have it set to 0, 3 on Death_Generic, but sometimes NPCS drop like 12 of that specific ammo. ZCP extra drops are off and drop condition slider is at 1

There is some other multiplier i'm missing somewhere?

Was trying to reduce sniper and AP rifle round drops to very minimal

[simple sequoia]

Prob something overwrites it. Open notepad++, ctrl+shif+s, set the directory to mo2/mods location, filter to *.ltx and searc for relevant section. Possibly with regex like "ammo_smol\s*="
It will search all .ltx files in mods folder of mo2(and do remember to set up the filter as it can, and will look through all the files).

Especially if there's dltx file somewhere in there.

Afaik the numbers in the amount are number of rolls, amount per roll. And there's separate config for percent chance for roll success somewhere in the same folder as death_generic

Death loadouts?

[fair granite]

if the number of rolls is set to 0, it does not spawn the ammo? seems like nothing is overwriting the file I'm editing

[final frost]

can someone please explain what numbers after weapon in loadouts.ltx mean?

like:
<wpn_name>:r:3:10

[simple sequoia]

Unconfirmed info tbh.

[fair granite]

Also interested

[final frost]

based on <437 - weghted npc random lodouts>
looks like
first for attachments - “r” for random
second is kind off ammo multiplier
third is “chance”/“weight” of spawn

[fair granite]

so the third number being high makes it harder to spawn, basically?

[final frost]

higher number, more chance to spawn

for monolith, for example
sr25 has 5, scar has 20

there are also 4th/5th/6th numbers possible

for
scope chance (0-100)
gl chance
silencer chance

[fair granite]

for instance, the raptr is r:6:10 on a master mono

that is more common than r:1 ?

[somber herald]

i would like to make a mod that increases the task availability for Monolith. currently you get about one Keeper of Secrets, one Destroy the Enemy + Conquer the Enemy, and 2-3 Redemption/Kill the Planner. this is just not quite enough to keep busy for a day, and mainly takes up more than half a day because you spend so much time running around the giant northern maps. and that's assuming you even get all of those.

i would like to generate more like twice that amount of those tasks, by increasing the amount you can get at a time/decreasing the cooldown. however, i have no idea what files to start looking in. does anyone know? :3

[vast plaza]

Information to all Modders.

SOLUTION!

for that question:
#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

All traders have a ending number: "esc_2_12_stalker_wolf23043"
Without the number it works fine: "esc_2_12_stalker_wolf"

Very simple.

[final frost]

those are diff values

wpn_rptr:r:6:40
has higher chance than
wpn_rptr:r:6:20

6 (2nd value in that case, something about ammo)

[potent garnet]

where are damage multipliers for ammo located and what is their property name?

[random fulcrum]

weapon_ammo.ltx

k_hit

[fair granite]

Maybe the second value ia related to the ammo that drops with the gun? That would explain why I still get more ammo drops even if the values on the death file are almost zero

Gonna test when I get home

[final frost]

kind of, description says ammotype, but values for 308 are usually 3(?)
i have not tested it yet
have cnpp tomorrow for that, will be the strangest looting experience

[random fulcrum]

no that's the ammo loaded with the gun

has nothing to do with the amount dropped

[fair granite]

Good to know

[teal compass]

is this centered

[fair canopy]

Looks good from what I can tell

[teal compass]

alright then I'm finished with this! thanks you

[random fulcrum]

looks like a single pixel offset to the right but that's good enough

idk if 3dss shits itself if the gun is not properly straight

like the scope's shadow showing all the time or something

[teal compass]

idk either but it performs like normal scopes so I guess its fine

[covert pivot]

The weight has a default value of 10 (can be changed) if not provided on the entry.

So r:6:10 and r:6 would be equivalent spawn chance.

npc_loadouts.ltx should have most of the info necessary to understand the loadouts and how to describe them

[random fulcrum]

the default is 50 tho

take this man's modder role and take him to the gallows

[fair granite]

50 makes sense cause I see some stuff that is supose to be rare rated as 25

Ty guys

now I can unfuck my weapon drop chances lol

[summer stream]

[random fulcrum]

i refuse to believe bro made that change

[fair granite]

Too bad I'm at 9.1 still xdd

Grok_bo changes to damage multi tied to difficulty need a new game to work?

Or I can test on a save

[random fulcrum]

it's broken

it needs a new game

[covert pivot]

Well yea, you can then ignore most stuff about what the other guy was talking about too. Weighted npc loadouts is from 093 and works differently

[random fulcrum]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/969047068586950716/1238358608169664603/uncaption.gif

50 as weight would be unnecessary

50 as chance, fine, since its nearly meaningless anyway in old script

[fair granite]

I'll accept that the old formula works based in entropy, you type random numbers and the universe decide if the weapon drops or not

(just kidding, the explanation was enough lol)

[covert pivot]

Old formula is that you roll a dice to select a weapon, then you roll 2nd 100 sided dice against the chance value, if succeed pick it, otherwise go back to step one (exluding weapons selected before).
If no weapon gets selected make another dice roll to pick random from all entries

[fair granite]

ok

that's like top 10 cursed systems I ever saw I think

I would never had figured that out

Ty

[teal compass]

I also fixed m24 reanimation too from what I learned in wa2000 fix, I'm actually amazed that the high contrast and night vision upgrade works with 3dss lol

[fair canopy]

[frank flicker]

Hi, i found in my old files AK74M Beard with UBGL (not sure what good soul made it), will someone able to converted to 3DSS ? i have very limited time to try lear it (police school)😅

[somber herald]

if i look up a task's text strings (e.g., Kill the Planner) and find its text in the xml files, how do I find the actual task config? monolith tasks seem to have a format like pri_monolith_monolith_trader_stalker_task_, but searching for that doesn't seem to yield anything other than the text strings (at least not in .xml, .ltx or .script files).

[brazen scarab]

I have no idea if this is the correct place to ask this, but does the Dux Innumerable Character Kit's More Female Stalkers addendum to the original mod function properly on 1.5.3?

[sacred token]

The task configs are usually saved in gamedata/configs/misc/task. Look for properties target_functor and status_functor. These are functions stored in the scripts

If you want to look at the logic for the tasks

[somber herald]

thank you. i found most of the tasks I recognize there, but the monolith tasks don't seem to be. 😔

oh i found it, it gave me the hint to search for tm_*.ltx files

[teal compass]

was there once FAD included in 3dss? I figured that the FAD already has 3dss in GAMMA

[broken mortar]

hello any one know where i can get weapons reposition mod that works with 3dss

[fair canopy]

yes. but grok decided not to add it to gamma

[teal compass]

understandable, but I guess I can take advantage of it

[verbal siren]

I don't think anyone made one yet.

[fair canopy]

AFAIK none exist yet. You can use the base offset Hud mod to make them.

[quasi narwhal]

Also there's somewhat useful guide at mag redux git

[idle stone]

There is a manual within the mags redux files of GAMMA. But it is not complete enough for me to understand. I.E. A magazine needs a picture. There is no info about allocating a picture to a magazine.

When I hover over a weapon, all relevant parts are highlighted in my inventory. I was told this is a function of stalker anomaly... Is there a simple way to change the background color of the highlighting? Or perhaps someone has tackled this already?

[cursive wigeon]

i think it would be better with a sidebar to grab onto but you cant really see that on a side view

I think it could fit in with stalker, the scientists make it and can sell you one and give you free power recharges in their base.

[thorn stratus]

does anybody knows what is the MAX cap limit for each protection? I need this info for my project ⁠https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1324743045434052608
the starting cap is normally 65, but with artifacts that can increase. I wonder what is the max cap value you can achieve
could that be 95% for all protections?

I would love a confirmation but I would assume is 95%

[fair canopy]

iirc res capped out at 80/85 regardless of however much res you added

[gleaming tide]

Thanks

[misty mulch]

(granted those are not my examples)

https://github.com/RAX-Anomaly/Anomaly-Mod-Configuration-Menu/tree/main

[thorn stratus]

I got to the bottom of this and momo accurate stats was using the same caps from 091 (some prot stats had different caps for some reason), but now caps in 0.93 are all 0.65 and can get up to 0.95 even though the grok adb formula is not really correct to enforce this
e,g.

        if limiter >= 1 then
            limiter = 0.95
        end

so you get capped to 0.95 if you get over 1 or equal but you can have 0.99 if you really try to

[fair canopy]

so realistically it should read greater than or equal to 0.96?

[covert pivot]

0.95

idk how many decimals it tracks

[simple sequoia]

Probably the usual float/double aka "a lot"

[random fulcrum]

yeah it's the usual 16 or something decimal places

in the stats mod i used the round_idp function a lot

to actually work with 2 decimals

[hollow furnace]

Anybody know what parameter to change to augment muzzle flash "glow"/illumination in particles.xr?

[random fulcrum]

dynamic light is done in the weapon's ltx

and the "glow" you're describing is (i'm assuming) sss' volumetric light

[steel rain]

Hello was wondering if someone with scripting knowledge could help me with a small thing i am working on. I managed to spawn some dynamic objects in a map and one of those 2 objects is a campfire my only issue is i don't know how to make that campfire interactable (so it actually burns) any help?

[slow bolt]

Find the mod that allows you to place campfires and look into it

gamma has it

[steel rain]

i looked into it and found this and edited it to work exactly on the campfire i placed only issue is i don't have a "trigger" where i can call the function.

function spawn_anomaly_campfire()
local new_pos = vector():set(-282.28582763672,0.33043438196182,31.858280181885)
local se_obj = alife_create("campfire", new_pos, 1395, 871)
se_anoms[se_obj.id] = true

local data = utils_stpk.get_anom_zone_data(se_obj)
if not (data) then return end
data.shapes[1] = {}
data.shapes[1].shtype = 0
data.shapes[1].offset = vector():set(0, 0, 0)
data.shapes[1].center = vector():set(0, 0, 0)
data.shapes[1].radius = 0.85
utils_stpk.set_anom_zone_data(data, se_obj)

return true

end

[slow bolt]

"i don't have a "trigger" where i can call the function. "
Elaborate on that one

[steel rain]

simply making a script and attatch it to the mod doesnt work

[slow bolt]

well duh, you need to call the function

So how are you placing it?

[steel rain]

using spawn dynamic objects script

that's called on level change so works as soon as i start a run

[slow bolt]

so edit the script so it runs a function when you spawn a campfire

In the mod it triggers on item use

all you have to do is run the same functions on a different trigger

[steel rain]

the campfire spawns but it's not interactable

problem is i have no knowledge of scripting it's just something little to make a simple campfire appear and be permanent from start

like the placeble mod but without the "place" part XD

i managed to make the campfire work but it's uninteractable as i said

no way to lit it

[slow bolt]

Just make whatever script you have run prepare_campfire() function while having appropriate globals for position

need to edit it a bit though to have it spawn on what pos you need and not your own

For more questions you can also go to anomaly discord, which has way more knowledgeable modders

[steel rain]

ok gonna take a look into this thanks for the help!

[verbal siren]

How do I find the file that modifies weapon parameters via DLTX? Here's my problem: wpn_svu without a scope has normal position, I use 0.75 hud fov in the settings. However, when I attach a scope, the hud_fov changes to some extreme value. See the screenshots. The file w_svu.ltx is from base GAMMA. I know 3DSS changes positions for scopes but only the aim_ ones. I looked through my other mods twice and couldn't find any configs that would touch the svd. I'm at a loss.

[fair canopy]

It doesn't have to do with 3dss. There are certain weapons that have hud fov adjusted via the freezoom script gamma uses

[verbal siren]

I've yet to read one good thing about the fkin freezoom

Does that mean everyone's SVD looks like that?

[fair canopy]

Yes

[verbal siren]

So to fix this can I add a dltx mod with hud_fov = 0.6 or something similar to a specific [wpn_svd_scopename_hud]?

[fair canopy]

Nope

The script overrides the position

You'd have to copy the while script and edit the gun out of it

[verbal siren]

Ok, Free_ZoomV2.script doesn't have any weapon names and the v3 doesn't change the script in any way. What file am I looking for?

[slow bolt]

its a reposition

not a hud fov thing

the entire gun is moved forward

[verbal siren]

Ok, I can do another reposition, but I'd prefer to find the file that changed it in the first place. Is there a way to do that?

[slow bolt]

just search inside gamma mods folder

like with notepad++ for example, for the section name

[verbal siren]

Cool feature, thx for the tip. And it is a hud_fov change after all. The mod_system_zzBarrySVUreanim.ltx has this:
![wpn_svu] hud_fov = 0.5
When I change my hud fov to 0.5 in the settings, the base gun position doesn't change and the scoped one looks exactly like the base one.
Do you think it would be worth posting it in the bugs thread?

[verbal siren]

Maybe it was fixed for 0.9.3 so IDK.

[fair canopy]

i dont say this often, but screwyou is wrong

this is the file

[verbal siren]

OK, so it was changed in 0.9.3 I was looking at the wrong file. The gun is positioned for hud fov 0.5 and this is the workaround for it to look okay in GAMMA default higher hud fov? I wonder if the scoped huds inherit this 0.5 value.

[fair canopy]

they dont, which makes it worse

idk why it was done this way. the position could have just been adjusted

[merry bramble]

How difficult would it be to learn how to make a custom models for stalker or well head headswap/ retexture without having any prior knowledge of modding?

[celest forge]

Very

The STALKER specific part is just learning to export in the correct formats, but you have to learn how to model and texture in general from scratch

[gleaming tide]

That's like how to make a custom car. Well, you have to be able to make a "generic" car first

[merry bramble]

fair

[queen field]

hello i need ask :DDD ... the current reshade in gamma .. is outdated version .. so if i update to newest version it will be better ?

like shaders etc ...

?

[gleaming tide]

Wouldn't be worse unless it bugs out. I had newer one - felt no difference

[verbal siren]

Newer reshade versions don't work in Anomaly/GAMMA

[gleaming tide]

They do. Well, some

There's jittering fix reshade that uses new version of reshade

But why updating for no reason anyway?

[hollow furnace]

My bad I thought I understood but I'm struggling. I'm unsure where to find weapons.ltx? I have a shaders folder which has many different files indicating "volumetric light" but I'm unsure how to edit these files or find the right one.

nvm I'm foolish I got it now

[misty mulch]

more specifically i remember when we tried to use reshade 6+, the reshade addons function broke Anomaly such that it would CTD if you tried to change any graphics setting https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1153355613217226812

[candid quail]

Can't say one way or another if I've ever crashed because of Reshad... maybe a couple of times I was like "Hmmm Reshade?". One reason to upgrade, at least for me, is that in-game fog flickers with the old shaders while it does not with the new shaders.

[misty mulch]

i do want to note that i provide a fix for the crash in that bug thread too

so you CAN fix it on your own, it just requires five minutes of reading and typing

[fair canopy]

That's TOO MUCH

[random fulcrum]

that's inhumane

[fair canopy]

[misty mulch]

you must be this literate to use reshade 5.9+

[gleaming tide]

Me and lua

[misty mulch]

granted idk if anything has changed for the actual most current version of reshade

alright back to my happy place: trying to decipher the outfit/weapon upgrade files

[quasi narwhal]

how is that happy bro

[misty mulch]

for one i am not spending hours handholding people on how to fix their installation problems

[proper comet]

is there any sort of "player flags" available?
what I mean for instance is being able to save somewhere accessible the fact that the player acquired or did something (obvs would have to register it under an event or timer)

or an example of something that uses flags of player activity

[misty mulch]

what is the action that you want flagged?

[barren spruce]

Do I have to give credit to a mod author if I use his mod 1:1 in my mod? 🤔

[random fulcrum]

obj:give_info_portion(string info)
obj:disable_info_portion(string info)
obj:has_info(string info)

[proper comet]

oof, pretty varied, like the player acquiring a specific item or finishing a specific task
I'm asking first and foremost because if such system is in place, I don't have to create one redundantly myself

[random fulcrum]

the string can be anything

but it's the closest thing you get to "flags"

[proper comet]

and yeah, I know I'll have to dig my hands pretty far in to do that especially when it comes to events from inventory/pickups/tasks

[misty mulch]

that would be the appropriate thing to do, yes, especially if you directly lifted that code/contents

[proper comet]

that's useful alright

[simple sequoia]

Might be a good idea to ask for permission or list the original as hard requirement and then overwrite files you have to overwrite.

[proper comet]

do these "info_portions" ever disappear or become offline? as in being unable to check if something has this info

[barren spruce]

Appropriate =/= hard requirement, right?

[random fulcrum]

this shit should common fucking sense

[proper comet]

during gameplay loop I mean

[random fulcrum]

if you ask me

[misty mulch]

there's no law but it's a scummy fucking thing to do to repack someone else's mod in yours and not say shit

[barren spruce]

Yeah, exactly what I thought

[misty mulch]

and now that you've more or less told all of us that this is something we should look out for..

[random fulcrum]

idk how tracking npcs offline work

haven't done mods like that

[misty mulch]

modding runs on reputation

[barren spruce]

Nah, I was just looking at https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1297762722380779541

[random fulcrum]

like i'd assume just track the npc's id

[misty mulch]

oh that mod lmao

[random fulcrum]

or object for that matter

[barren spruce]

On the page of my mod every credit is given.

[misty mulch]

i mean the author does at least ask for permission sometimes, that i've seen... for many reasons i have issues with that mod

that's only one of 'em

[barren spruce]

But I just stumbled upon this in the reshade chat

[random fulcrum]

do something like obj = level.object_by_id(id) and then obj:has_info(...)

like that's what's sparks into mind

without having used the functions myself

[proper comet]

nah, ideally these flags/info_portions/whatever would be loaded in/over(?) the player character, so that it's always available as long as gameplay loop continues

[random fulcrum]

then there'd be no issue

unless you disable the infos yourself

[proper comet]

the infamous layer 8 problem

[proper comet]

thank you both fellas

[random fulcrum]

i'd honestly just track shit with a table that gets saved as you save the game

and loaded accordingly

[proper comet]

interesting, that sounds like a better solution

any examples on that?

[misty mulch]

yes refer back to "one of my many issues"

the nicest way i'll put it is that he seems to have a lot of energy and enthusiasm (e: and free time). how it is directed, is a different matter

me, personally, i think not having prominent and visible credits is plagiarism, and plagiarism is a form of theft

[barren spruce]

Not a single thing wrong with the guy, but his "explaination" for not having a single credit mentioned was - I dont make money off of it

[misty mulch]

doesn't matter if you're not making a cent out of your final output, you still need to give credit

[random fulcrum]

yeah again

[barren spruce]

Yeah, told em that

[random fulcrum]

it's common fucking sense

basic ass manners

[misty mulch]

well they are literally in school so hopefully they eventually wind around to learning about this whole plagiarism business

[barren spruce]

But if its not against the rules, he doesnt have to do shit about it so

[random fulcrum]

you thank people for what they gave you

yeah i mean

of course there are no written rules

but then again it's just basic decency

[barren spruce]

Yeah I also view it that way but

[random fulcrum]

but then again, then again, look at fucking idiots that are huge in the scene

like stalker_boss

or grok after he let the popularity of gamma get to his head

[misty mulch]

also just irl lots of people never figure this out

there was that 4h long yt vid on plagiarism lmao

[random fulcrum]

all the more reasons as to why anomaly should move to idk nexus

where things are taken more seriously

and the search function does work

[misty mulch]

b-b-b-but don't you know nexus = censorship

[barren spruce]

drama brewing on nexus tho

[random fulcrum]

bwehhhhhhhhhhh nexus doesn't let me download at hyperspeed and i have to click 3 times to download something instead of once bweeehhhhhhhhh

[barren spruce]

nah not this, just censorship

**But ** would probably make more sense than posting threads on discord

[misty mulch]

i was being deeply sarcastic, to be clear, i've had this very bullshit convo too many times when S2 launched and certain individuals freaked out over people using nexusmods for it instead of moddb

[random fulcrum]

ah brother but what the fuck would you be losing in the hypothetical case anomaly migrates to nexus

the mein kampf re enabler

[misty mulch]

whatever you think of its management, it's pretty undeniable that nexusmods has better infrastructure

[random fulcrum]

i can only think of that

[barren spruce]

I was not sarcastic at all

[random fulcrum]

that one jew snitch mod too

what else

[misty mulch]

i'm ok with shit like that being elsewhere, it's not as if anomaly mods aren't also scattered across a bunch of different places at this point

[random fulcrum]

wagner larpers would be in shambles too very likely as wagner merc retextures for hd models would also be no go

[barren spruce]

Sorry, my message just got automodded

how tf do I say it

[random fulcrum]

gamma would need nexus premium

[misty mulch]

you're not gonna get much sympathy from me, to be frank... i have very little patience for free speech absolutism

[barren spruce]

underdressed or not dressed at all child characters being appropriate by nexus, but a mod adding donald trump as a character in a game just got taken off the site

[misty mulch]

circling back to the original: IMO credit is super important especially in a scene like modding where the only "payment" you receive is recognition and reputation. there's no law against it but it's part of not being a total dickheaad

[barren spruce]

not sure if yall heard its quite recent

[misty mulch]

and XGP also does shit like repack reshade as a MO2 "mod" so it's already in the "bad modding practices" category

naturally people look at the screenshots and the gfx makes them lose their minds so it is what it is

[random fulcrum]

many such cases

[barren spruce]

Im not quite sure how to interpret this message

[misty mulch]

i guess at least he's stopped repacking the modded exes as well

[misty mulch]

bluntly: as a sign that i'm not super interested in continuing that convo

[random fulcrum]

gahdaym

[barren spruce]

then thanks for letting me know about the credit rules, thats all

[random fulcrum]

it's the unspoken rules

like is there anywhere written that all things fall down via gravity

like besides the finding of gravity of course

is there any rule

that you must follow

that was a godawful analogy

but the thing is that it's something that's not written, but you're expected to behave anyways because it is something that borders on natural

[celest forge]

I learned to give credits and ask for permission the hard, hard way

[barren spruce]

wdym

[celest forge]

I once made edits to an EFP mod, asked the EFP authors if I could upload it to moddb, they said no, I did anyways (giving full credits to the authors tbf but still), i got banned from moddb and half of the modders in the community think i'm the antichrist

To the point there's this little group in the Anomaly and EFP (Maybe? not sure) servers that actively hate me and try to fuck me over every now and again

So yeah give credits ask permission

[barren spruce]

Alr that is the **hard **way

[celest forge]

Indeed

[random fulcrum]

yeah there is a small group of scene names that to this day think you're the worst thing that could've ever happened to anomaly

[celest forge]

And they're right

[random fulcrum]

i try to tell them that for one it happened eons ago and that people change, and that your worst current crime is that your textures aren't blackgrowl level and your animations aren't firebreath level

[celest forge]

https://tenor.com/view/satan-dancing-tenacious-d-dave-grohl-gif-16169888

[random fulcrum]

that's like the worst offense i can think of

[celest forge]

Yeah but tbf unlike some modders, I don't think modding is like, a race

or a competition

[random fulcrum]

besides the incident, which again happened eons ago and you're a better person now

[celest forge]

Like people of different skill levels can make mods and that's fine

[random fulcrum]

yeah that's the thing

exactly

[celest forge]

I mean i'm still the same guy, I just wasn't like familiar with modding etiquette

I thought since the efpwp is just tarkov ports that they didn't really have any ownership rights to the mod itself

[random fulcrum]

improving etiquette is improving as a person imho

[celest forge]

But I soon realized that was fucking dumb

Because a mod is beyond the assets themselves and more the modders effort and labour

[lilac idol]

to this day I find it crazy that Efpwp isn't CC

like, how do you have the balls to act like something that isn't yours is definitely your "property"

anyone can make a tarkov port lmao

[undone lily]

@naive snow https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/drsneezes-meshy-tree-zes-for-cordon-v01 did you see that ?

[fair granite]

What is the simplest way to make a code check for the type of a weapon equiped? I was trying to make Dynahud "minimap hide" option don't hide it when I was using pistols only, but my coding skills are

[vital tree]

since i see volumetric smoke is in the game settings why doesnt it work?

is it just broken or what just asking?

[naive snow]

Looks interesting albeit overkill, the exemple of the root mesh he shows looks overkill, he's modeled this huge root system with first and second childs offshoots. All we ever see is the top part of the roots...
It would have been a better investment of time and geometry to do some actual roots that merge properly against the trunk instead. Not sure either, but NPC would just clip right through those depending on how high they are.
TLDR: Too much polygon for not a whole lot. Good idea, bad execution

[vital tree]

maybe you should ask some map makers idk i heard theres this guy in anomaly discord idk forgot his username

i asked if there any in c con forum a month or two ago

[naive snow]

The only spots with volumetric smoke are in the underground labs in a couple of spots and even then, the smoke volumes aren't set properly.

[vital tree]

but i dont see them?

[naive snow]

The smoke volumes aren't set properly

[vital tree]

okay

is there an addon that fixes it?

[naive snow]

MFB made a whole thing about it and did attempt to fix those

[vital tree]

ah yes that guy now i remember him

bros been fixing everything it seems

[naive snow]

Except his horrible personality

[vital tree]

you can clearly see my brown role

so i think we match idk

[pulsar inlet]

I am trying to edit the condition of weapon and armor parts found inside stashes to be always above 60%, and I am pretty sure I'll need to add the code in the treasure_manager.script file of the Rare Stashes Balance mod, but my issue is almost complete ignorance when it comes to coding. I've been trying to find some similar mod to reverse engineer code structure and variables needed, but I haven't been able to get to much. Anyone able to point me towards something that can help?

[covert pivot]

Someome can easily say their labour done for the port is their property as well if people do want tarkov ports they can do them. As you said, anyone can.

[celest forge]

Did he really "fix" anything tho

Afaik it's mostly debug maps he's posted

and that volumetric smoke thing

And that's kinda it

[vital tree]

i see

[lilac idol]

i still think that having that attitude towards gun ports is retarded

[naive snow]

Yeah it's been pretty much it, it's mostly fluffing his own feathers

[vital tree]

idk whats he working exactly rn

[celest forge]

It's not ownership of the assetts, but for their labour

"Everyone can do that" yet only they did

Atleast for some of the guns they have in EFPWP

[vital tree]

ima look at anomaly discord to see if hes working on something maybe his moddb account as well

[simple sequoia]

db.actor:item_in_slot(number) where number is id of slot gives equipped item. Use notepad++ ctrl+shift+f to globally search every file in folder to look for the function/use cases if you want. Or brute force it with printf.

[fair canopy]

He got salt that no one here cared about a bunch of debug levels

[misty mulch]

actually it might be a one line change - check line 842 in treasure_manager.script

[misty mulch]

to do the full breakdown for you...

data.condition = (math.random(20, 37) / 100)

math.random(x,y) generates a random number between x and y. condition takes a single number between 0.00 - 1.00. With current settings, this produces a range of possible conditions: 0.20 - 0.37
Therefore you'd simply change the min and max of math.random such that the result is always above 0.6

[vital tree]

okay so i joined and the verifying your phone phase is retarded

it was broken i struggled for 20 minutes

classic discord moment

anyways im gonna go contact the guy in his dms

[pulsar inlet]

damn, thank you for the detailed reply! I have been looking at this section for some time, but doesn't it apply to full weapon inside the stash? Because what I am trying to affect are instead those spare weapon parts, armor parts, and possibly even artifacts, each with a different range of condition. I have been trying to understand how to add some line of codes that added exceptions to those categories separately, but even finding the variables referring to each of those categories is being a struggle

[misty mulch]

oh the parts not the full weapon, my bad. check lines 865-872 in the same script then

i also do not know what cond_r, cond_ct or cond_cr means but i'm sure you can figure it out

i'd be doing just as much trial and error at that point as you

[pulsar inlet]

yes, this one, with all the extra "cond_r", "cond_ct" and "cond_cr" confused the everloving fuck out of me

[pulsar inlet]

I tried chatgpt on it, but my level of confidence in it is low

[misty mulch]

yeah never ask chatgpt for anything this specific.

[pulsar inlet]

yeah

[misty mulch]

in this case you would have to do it the proper way: figure out what uses those variables (it's the alife_create_item function in line 871), then figure out how the function works (defined in _g.script from unpacked basegame files)

[pulsar inlet]

before that section, there is one for armors, using the variable "isOutFut", if I knew the counterparts for weapon parts, armor parts and artefacts, I reckon I could copy\paste it and eventually make it work

[misty mulch]

waow

damn there's a comment that just spells it out

[covert pivot]

You can try looking at other uses of alife_create_item and see if they have more verbose naming

[misty mulch]

i will lead you right up to the answer: go check _g.script in the decompiled scripts, ctrl-f alife_create_item, there is a comment there that literally spells out exactly what cond_r, cond_ct and cond_cr mean

cos the exercise of doing that, will set you up to be able to figure out how a lot of other scripts function

[pulsar inlet]

you mean in the same file, or in a wikia? I am quite green with coding, even more with alife coding 😅

[misty mulch]

do you know how to decompile the scripts + configs? cos i am happy to walk you through

[pulsar inlet]

got the anomaly files decompiled, and found the _g.script file

[misty mulch]

perfect. you're looking for the section that starts function alife_create_item

read starting from t: [table] (optional)

[pulsar inlet]

that's already a big step forward, thank you

[covert pivot]

Using any "Search in Files" functionality like notepad++ to just search a function name in all ltx and script files in like GAMMA mods folder. You can use this for many things to find how and where stuff is used. Having anomaly basefiles available in the search is useful too.

[misty mulch]

so combine your newfound mastery of what cond_ct and cond_cr means to lines 865-872 of treasure_manager.script...

else
    local item_prop_table = {
        cond_r = {30, 70}, 
        cond_ct = "part", 
        cond_cr = {0.5, 0.75, 1}, 
        ammo = math.random(10, 25) }
    alife_create_item(section, box, item_prop_table)
end

[pulsar inlet]

oh I see, so I should keep a bunch of them (related loosely to what I am looking for) and use the search on all files, gotcha

[gleaming tide]

anomaly/tools/db_unpacker_all.bat

[misty mulch]

solution || cond_ct and cond_cr here means "if the item being created is a part, select one of three possible values for its condition: 0.5, 0.75, or 1|| so for your purposes, you would only have to edit || that 0.5 to become 0.6 ||

eh, if you only want configs + scripts, run db_unpacker.bat

db_unpacker_all.bat also decompiles models and textures, effectively doubling the install size of anomaly

[pulsar inlet]

not sure if "part" is specific for weapon parts, but even if it included armor parts I guess I could settle for making them both generate from 60% and above

[misty mulch]

"part" here refers to any part, so yes, it would cover both weapons and armor

the game doesn't distinguish between weapon parts or armor parts

[pulsar inlet]

fair enough, not a big issue

also, I think I found the variable for artefacts, it should be "i_arty" and "i_arty_junk ", I will try to make a copy of that code section with both of them and a "or" function, otherwise I will try a copy for each of the two types of artefacts

with some luck I should have the time to address the matter in a couple of days, adhd allowing 😁

[misty mulch]

if you are new to coding - i would not copy the code section blindly

since placement really matters

you may as well just change cond_r

since cond_r applies to the condition for every other type of spawnable item that has a condition value

[pulsar inlet]

I see, in that case I need to scour the file to see if there is a section dedicated to artefacts generation inside stashes. From what I have seen, after that section about parts, it then proceeds to say that all other items condition will be based on a generic code

[misty mulch]

and honestly i am struggling to think of what else is generated that isn't a weapon, armor, or part, where the condition matters, and it isn't an arti

[misty mulch]

you don't need a special section for artis if it's handled by the "Everything else" case

[pulsar inlet]

true, not much else with condition

[misty mulch]

yeah so just change general cond to be idfk 60, 70

and then test this shit lmao i could be completely wrong for all i know

[pulsar inlet]

knowing how often I over complicate my life for nothing, that simple solution sounds like exactly the kind of stuff that works, compared to what I was aiming at, I'll let you know as soon as I test it

[winter thistle]

Does anyone know if there are any mods that adds a Six12 bullpup shotgun?

[random fulcrum]

no but i'd also very much like to see that cutie in game

[true lance]

i have never made mods but i liike the idea how where would i begeen making mods for gamma?

[proper comet]

depends on what you want to do, really

without an idea, there's no direction, without direction there's nowhere to start

[gaunt seal]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/artifacts-inspectionv10
Someone dropped this

[true lance]

then i suppose simple weapon mods

[proper comet]

and what do you mean by that? adding new guns? modifying existing guns?

[true lance]

adding new

do i need to know lua?

[proper comet]

nah, just configs

there's several guns fellas here, so if you ask around one of them probably will link to a guide or something

pretty sure there was a video for it

[true lance]

configs?

im slowly learning lol i found out how to unpack weapon models and put them in blender

[young gate]

yo im going through the modding book and im having a hard time trying to input new scripts. Also there isnt a script file in gamedata, do I need to create a new one?

[boreal dust]

satiety_v                = 0.00002        ;0.0000250     ;rate of satiety reduction with time```

Does a higher number cause hunger to go faster or slower?

[simple sequoia]

Faster. Afaik each actor update tick reduces it by that amount.

[simple sequoia]

.

[simple sequoia]

1. Default anomaly gamedata is packed, to get the scrips and configs go to tools and use dbunpacker.bat(will give you gamedata folder in tools with scrips and configs in .ltx/.script format), dbunpacker_all unpacks models, textures, sounds etc. Essentially doubles the size of your anomaly folder.

2. To add new scripts you have to register them via RegisterCallback in on_game_start() to fire when action is performed(scripts called in registered scripts don't have to be registered), look through other people's scripts to get an example on how to do it. Afaik it is in the 'wetting our hands' section of the modding book.

[young gate]

    RegisterScriptCallback("on_key_press", on_key_press)
end

function on_key_press(key)
    if key == DIK_keys.DIK_O then 
        alife_create_item("underwear", alife():object(0))
    end
end``` 

This doesn't seem to work

Hello guys, do you know something about is this possible to configure in GAMMA Like a global storage, one place to store everything?

[lilac idol]

why are you placing a multiply node for the albedo

[summer stream]

because it's an emmisive

and ask the person who

made that addon for importing mdl

[lilac idol]

idek what mdl is

[slow bolt]

anomalous stash already does that

[summer stream]

source stuff

Which file has the artifacts icons?

[gleaming tide]

What are the correct dds export settings in NVDIA plugin for photoshop?

[celest forge]

Depends on what you're exporting

[gleaming tide]

let's say UI icons

[misty mulch]

also check pins for a GUI icon editing tool

[lilac idol]

you shouldn't compress icons tho

[quasi narwhal]

for UI elements, don't compress the file, don't generate mip maps and use scale 1 of the icon size and that's it

[fair canopy]

So what texture format then?

Cause everyone always says bc3

[lilac idol]

uncompressed

[quasi narwhal]

raw dog dds

[fair canopy]

Show me your settings

[summer stream]

OR

do 32.32.32.32

instead of BC4

[lilac idol]

anyways don't compress icons

[quasi narwhal]

uncompressed icons are guaranteed to have full quality even if they're really small (like 8x8 etc)

plus you shouldn't care about UI icons compression when a single image with hundreds of icons has the same size/dimensions than 1 weapon texture

not to mention said weapon texture would be bigger in file size even if compressed because mip maps

[lilac idol]

there's no real reason to use bc3 in general

if you were to use it to save space compared to bc7 just use bc1

bc3 is nice only if you care much about the alpha layer

otherwise bc1 should be more than enough

Interesting

[pulsar inlet]

so, the good news is, I managed to make weapons parts spawn in the range between 60% and 100% in stashes as I intended.. the bad new is that so do artifacts as well, which I would like to have spawning at full condition (if there was a easier way to completely remove condition stats from artis I would go for that, but considering how their condition is used by other scripts determining their price and powers magnitude, it sounds like a headache to figure out ). Another thing I am confident to have figured out is how "cond_cr" can only be set to choose a number inside the range set in the generic "cond_r". And also that the variable "parts" include artis rather than just weapon parts, and that the variables for artis I thought to have found (i_arty and i_arty_junk) don't work in this context, so I still have to found a correct one

[misty mulch]

try setting cont_ct to i_parts

i THINK that's the proper syntax for the item type

[pulsar inlet]

I can test it out, but for the way the script work, I need the variable for artis instead, at least to have them spawn only at 100%

[misty mulch]

!100art // this seems easier for your case

[queen pine]

@pulsar inlet here's the mod that'll let you control artifact condition:
#1200529616733999287 message

[pulsar inlet]

I used that one, unfortunately it only affect artis generated inside anomalies.. I am actually half tempted to just remove artis from stashes

[misty mulch]

mm. well you hit the limit of what i know

[pulsar inlet]

dude, you have helped quite a lot already, I was pretty stuck

[true lance]

witch one would be the base gun with no attachment's

[lilac idol]

the one that only has "_hud"

[true lance]

i put that one in blender and got this

[lilac idol]

probably because the scope is linked to the wpn_scope bone

might not be the case tho, i have never used it nor do i know how it actually works

[simple scaffold]

the base weapon usse the same model as one of the scope versions. the base weapon has a flag set saying it has no scope so the scope bone is hidden. lets them use one less model. (altho with the ak101 that isn't done for some reason. it is with the an-94 where the base gun and pso1 sections use the same models both world and hud. )

using the base anomal ak101 ltx
base gun section is here

the hud section for the gun is identified here

and that section is defined here

the model is the first line.

this is the process for identifying the hud model for any gun.

[true lance]

so what i was trying to do is just add a scope that the gun didt support i just deleted all the other atchments and added the scope saved and exported it will it work fine? also now im trying to find the ltx file for theak101 and the gun i took the scope from but idk where to get those this is like my second day modding ever

[simple scaffold]

you should keep all the attachemnts and just change the scope. needs to be the same bone name.

all the atachement bones are managed by the engine, it wants them all there and named a particualar way. even if they are hidden most of the time.

[simple scaffold]

use notepad++ search to search in files to search the entier gamma mo2 mods folder for the model name. that should take you to the right ltx and section.

[true lance]

i pulled the models straight from base anomaly

also with the model i jammed everything together was i supposed to do that?

[simple scaffold]

then search that github or the unpacked anomaly files.

you need to add the new scope to the list in scopes here

also note how the section names for the guns are made by concatonationg the scope names from that list and make your section comply. i assume you are using a scope item taht already exists and won't need to create that.

[simple scaffold]

I am not a modeler. i'm going to guess that would be bad if it changes the bones of the model.

[shell mortar]

how to draw text on screen using script? like if i press f theres proximity item text around the actor

[true lance]

okay so i found the ltx and edited the scope so the gun could take it how do i put the unpacked ltx file back idk if that makes since. i used db unpacker all to get the ltx files.

[gleaming tide]

Will changes apply to script if I reload system.ini?

I don't won't to restart the game each time

[random fulcrum]

for scripts usually just f5 is enough

i've had it sometimes (although very very rarely) that just f5 isn't enough

so i just started doing numpad 0 and f5 every time

just to be sure

if you create new files you actually do need to restart the game tho

[gleaming tide]

Fire, thanks

[celest forge]

Why

[fair canopy]

pretty sure that fuckes potato users

[celest forge]

I test my icons in dx8 and 9

[true lance]

does anyone know how to repack a ltx file back into the game

i unpacked the anomaly files to edit one of the weapon's but idk how to get my edited ltx file back into the game

[celest forge]

Anomaly uses a loose file system

You dont have to repack stuff

[covert pivot]

mipmaps are the things that fuck it up for potato users, since itll try using the lower resolution version

[true lance]

so i can leave the _unpacked folder and it will use the edited ltx from there?

[lilac idol]

you lose quality and uncompressed icons work on dx8 without problems

that's how Cr3pis does it so

[celest forge]

lose quality

Thats probably unperceivable because they already super low res

Also i compress all of my icons and they work on dx8 and 9 no issue

[spiral yew]

theres any way of disabling the ai of an npc and control what it does, make it move somewhere or take out their gun or things like that? the ai part is just so it doesnt move or do anything unless told even if there are enemies or its hurt

[true lance]

can someone tell me why i am getting this error all i did ws unpack the configs db file to edit add an scope to the ak now i get this error after repacking and adding the config db back

[covert topaz]

what icons

[gleaming tide]

That don't exist yet

[covert topaz]

good luck with that

we need more icons

[naive snow]

Because you're not meant to repack them, and anyway you messed up doing it.

Okay so don't repack them but what do you mean I messed up doing it

[boreal dust]

Slowly updating all my custom stuff to 1.5.3 and GAMMA compatibility..

[fair canopy]

[simple scaffold]

No need loose files over ride the packed ones. I would recommend right clicking on a mod on MO2 select make empty mod then open that mod in Windows and make a game data folder in that mod to put the files in

[boreal dust]

Does anyone difinitively know about switch_distance? How does it work? I thought making it lower makes more things 'online' but is that right? Or is higher better?

[worthy mortar]

That's the opposite?

[simple scaffold]

switch_distance = how far away will things need to be to be switched to offline.
smaller number smaller online circle, less stuff online.

[misty mulch]

no you don't, loose files go into the gamedata/configs/etc. folder
however, since we are on the GAMMA discord, I assume you are modding for GAMMA. In that case, literally every single mod in MO2 has priority over files dumped directly into the game folder, so the proper way to do it is to create an empty mod in MO2, and in that folder, replicate the gamedata filestructure

[spiral yew]

there any way of controlling and npc? making it move to a position and stuff? all thing i tried doesnt work

fentanyl overdose animation

[calm geyser]

Does anyone know a good/interactive knowledge resource for guns?

[random fulcrum]

what does that mean

like a video?

juan and lunatic have videos on porting guns to anomaly

i think juan's even delves into animating

but i'm not sure

[celest forge]

Nah I only made a video for putting more scopes on guns

[calm geyser]

Nah for like irl gun mechanics

[celest forge]

Ah

Idk man then, wikipedia or forgottenweapons' videos

[calm geyser]

Am looking specifically for weapon's burst-fire mechanisms. Though I've realized that a lot of the guns in gamma (particularly pistols) don't actually have them

[cursive wigeon]

can you add my mod to the list of mods, i can't believe its not in the list, GAMMA takes awhile to load so i'd rather just leave it in the menu and alt+tab out and just come back to it without having to wait for it to load

[wispy ferry]

several pistols can get burst-fire via upgrades
the .ltx values you want to look at / change to have burst fire ought be
fire_modes = 1, 3, -1
that line lists all the firemodes a weapon has by default
1 being semi-auto, 3 being 3-round burst, -1 full auto
and I think 2 would be 2-round burst but I can't remember for sure

[calm geyser]

Where do I find those .ltx files? (I'm completely illiterate)

[wispy ferry]

oh, you don't want to alter .ltx files necessarily if you just want to add burst fire to a gun
DLTX editing is your friend

here's my shitey guide on how to do a DLTX edit mod

[calm geyser]

oh no, what I want to try to do is make it so that weapons' burst fire modes fit their irl counterparts -- Right now all of them are just full auto with a 2-3 round cap. I want to make them click-to-burst where applicable if that makes sense

[wispy ferry]

oh! that's very different then

I do understand what you mean, but yeah no that is like, an engine thing that I have no idea if you can work around

at least far as I know, XRAY burst fire mode is a burst limiter
with some extra functionality, like being able to set a custom firerate for the burst fire separate from the main firerate
which is how you get hyperburst with the AN94 and AK12

[calm geyser]

sorry, what do you mean exactly by 'can/cannot work around'?

would that mean it's impossible?

or would it just mean a lot of work

[wispy ferry]

impossible with my limited knowledge, but it might be doable
I do not know if there is a simple setting you can set from 0 to 1 to make it so the gun always fires a full burst

sorry if that was unclear, I should go to sleep
which I will do now

[calm geyser]

alright thanks

[fair canopy]

[gleaming tide]

Not sure where's the limit by you can do 5 bullet burst too. 100 bullet machine gun burst, imagine

[fair canopy]

wouldnt matter since the burst only works if the fire button is held

its not like you click the fire button and get 100 bullets out

[teal compass]

yeah the 3 round burst is just like full auto but stops at third round

you can still shoot like semi auto in burst

[sturdy imp]

Anybody know how to prevent a smart terrain from spawning anything?...I've tried switching... max_population = 1 - to 0 but it's had no effect.

oh yeah no worries

maybe try a higher priority

gamma might just have 1000 other dltx overwrites going on

[boreal dust]

how does the priority work? Change it how

it's alphabetical

Man i really need to remember to check channel Pins 🫢

[spark crypt]

I'm trying to mod the outfit upgrade trees in Call of Pripyat, but I am failing.
The modded game runs fine until I open the upgrade menu of one of the techs. I can click on any item EXCEPT the one I modded. When I do, the game crashes.

I first tried to move a node from the end of one path to an empty one (the fourth) at the end, but when that failed, I experimented in order to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Now I'm just trying to REMOVE the last upgrade of a single series and it crashes the same way. (up_thirde_stalker_outfit from o_stalker_outfit_up.ltx to be specific)
I haven't touched outfit.ltx because I'm not removing or changing the node array, just removing the end of one series, and the file is (seemingly) blind to this.
I then go into the technician's control file stalkers_upgrade_info.ltx and comment out the five lines that reference this single upgrade (up_sect_thirde_stalker_outfit).
Then I go into the specific upgrade info control file o_stalker_outfit_up.ltx and comment out all the various references to this upgrade.
Including the effects entries of the previous two upgrades that let the game know that choosing one allows a further upgrade in the series to the one I'm removing.

All this SHOULD remove the single upgrade from the game completely, but it still crashes upon accessing the item at the mechanic, even on a new naive game.
Somehow, the game still thinks this removed upgrade should exist and gets crashy when it can't find the entries in the files, but I can't figure out how it knows.

If anyone can set me on the right path it would really help with my current frustration. I have done everything "correctly" but after many attempts, it is still crashing in-game interacting with the function.

I have tried googling, but can't find the correct procedure written anywhere. Someone in this community knows the answer, though, because I've seen mods that change the upgrade trees of outfits.
But even after looking, I can't find my mistake because there are so many changes in some of the mods, I can't see the part I'm missing.

UPDATE:
I had forgotten that bit in the UI where parts on the item graphic are highlighted when you mouse over the upgrade selections.
There are two files inventory_upgrade.xml and inventory_upgrade_16.xml in the ui directory that were looking to be connected to the upgrades and failing if the nodes were at all changed.

BUT IT STILL CRASHES

UPDATE after initial update:
Well, I must have made some tiny mistake in one of the four critical files for outfit upgrades, because after doing extensive experimentation it's not crashing.
I can move nodes and remove nodes and as long as I don't remove a node and interact with a suit that had that node active from a previous save, it runs as expected and doesn't crash.
Three days of frustration and I don't even know what tiny mistake I made initially, because I'm doing the same things the same way for the same reason, but it now works correctly.
My suspicion is that I messed up something in the two files inventory_upgrade.xml and inventory_upgrade_16.xml in the ui directory in my first attempts.

[boreal dust]

Does anyone know if with ZCP there's any way to reduce the chance of certain items spawning in maps? Finding that somewhat decent stuff can be found commonly but want to make the rarer items spawn less and the common junk stuff spawn more commonly...

[gleaming tide]

Damage works very differently on companions weapons?

[fair granite]

Someone know where is the parameter that makes you lose goodwill with some factions when you do tasks for their enemies?

I just find stuff like =complete_task_inc_goodwill(50:dolg) in tm_bar for example

no decrease on complete

[simple sequoia]

there's a mod for that already: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/no-good-deed-goes-punished-for-1-5-1
At best it's what you need, at worst you will find how to change the configs yourself from example

[fair granite]

Tysm

[fair granite]

found the parameter, it is: game_relations.change_factions_community_num(rnd_enemy, id, ((-1) * delta_rnd ) )

[calm epoch]

You can ask akman about this, with his redone amount of things on the ground is set to minimum, finding natural spawn of tools is rare as all-green gun

[misty mulch]

yours would be the only DLTX file modifying alife.ltx in vanilla GAMMA

[misty mulch]

it's there, just a different ltx file, look at something like tm_dynamic.ltx

[simulation_task_2]
; cut a bunch of stuff
on_complete = %=fetch_reward_and_remove(simulation_task_2_fetch:0.9) =reward_stash(true) =complete_task_inc_goodwill(50:freedom)  =complete_task_inc_goodwill(-15:dolg) =complete_task_inc_goodwill(-15:dolg) ;and so on

[proper comet]

little question since this might have done before, regarding modding NPC loadouts
since modifying npc_loadouts_### is a destructive operation (ie. would override and become outdated if Grok updated those), I've seen that we can add guns to the NPCs potential loadouts through mod_npc_loadouts_#, but is there any way we can remove or even replace guns from loadouts? perhaps as configs, or maybe as a script that replaces a gun such as that one script that replaces old upgrade kits?

I'm looking into replacing the vanilla mosin with a mosin from a mod (Frosty's), hence my questions

[misty mulch]

yes, dltx syntax allows you to remove lines (and then you add in a new line for your new gun)

[misty mulch]

https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/addons/dltx.html#field-deletion

note that GAMMA now uses SD's Weighted NPC Loadouts mod by default and I am not exactly 100% sure what it changes, though the ltx loadout files should still be valid targets for DLTX edits

[proper comet]

amazing, thanks for the clarification and docs

there's one more thing though, how would removal of a field work in this scenario?
because I may know the section I want to remove (wpn_mosin), but what would happen if Grok/someone removed it from the original definition (eg. npc_loadouts_#)?

or well, in this scenario it would for replace instead of removing
actually I think I'd have to remove the original weapon (wpn_mosin) from the sections in the npc loadouts and then add it through that other mechanism (mod_npc_loadouts_#), otherwise I'd have to replace the entire sections that contain wpn_mosin like [bandit_novice_primary]

[misty mulch]

then your DLTX file would target a nonexistent line, it wouldn't be removed, but at least it'd still add the new weapon

[misty mulch]

you can target multiple sections in a single dltx file

so long as you target the correct root ltx

in your case since npc_loadouts is the root of all the #include npc_loadout_* chains, you can have a single mod_npc_loadouts_mymosinchanges.ltx with the contents:

![bandit_novice_primary]
!wpn_mosin:0:0:10    ;this removes the default mosin
wpn_whateverthefucktheFrostymosiniscalled:0:0:10 ;this adds the new mosin

![bandit_veteran_primary]
!wpn_mosin:0:0:15

and so on

[proper comet]

interesting, I was wondering if it was kinda bootleg and it'd crash or something, that's good to know

[proper comet]

you're right, I got tunnel vision'd, one file should be enough

[misty mulch]

don't directly delete the wpn_mosin lines - the whole point of DLTX is that you should never need to directly edit the source ltx files

[proper comet]

oh yeah absolutely, that's what I was trying to avoid in the first place: touching original files especially ones that will definitely be modified later on

one last question, which comes from the example you posted
wpn_mosin:0:0:10
do I have to pass out the parameters exactly as they are originally defined? I mean the :0:0:10, because those might change in a future update and might make my mod redundant, right?

[misty mulch]

and, just to be clear, you can also modify other sections from the other npc_loadout files such as [novice_primary] (from npc_loadout_stalker) and so on

[misty mulch]

yes, exact line match

as for "what if a future update breaks it"... yeah that's what happens when you make a mod for a modpack in active development. best you can do is keep an eye on #📢development

[proper comet]

well, it was a fine dream while it lasted lol

thanks for the help, really appreciate it

[gleaming tide]

ඞ ඞ ඞ_mod.ltx always wins any zzz

[proper comet]

but that still wouldn't make it future proof because if he changed the parameters (like ammo) changes, the removed field would not work

[slow bolt]

use @ instead of every other symbol, like !

make it future proof, by breaking the game as soon as changes are made

[celest forge]

Id be surprised if the anomaly team reworkes how loadouts work

Theres nothing wrong with the current system

[proper comet]

I mean for instance if Grok or someone else decided to, for instance, do:
wpn_mosin:0:0:10
to
wpn_mosin:0:0:25
then the dltx remove wouldn't work

[gleaming tide]

What's wrong with @ it was in modding book 🐴

[proper comet]

it goes without saying that this is a nitpick

[slow bolt]

Cause it creates or overwrites. So for example if an update comes that removes things - you would add them back with @, when you should update the mod instead

Means it would be a lot harder to find tf is going on

[gleaming tide]

[slow bolt]

It also makes you think way less of what you are doing, when you can slap @ on every change

[gleaming tide]

[covert pivot]

Yea, this could be fixed by using ltx syntax that was normal, but im not going to change it, since then it would be a breaking change. But maybe someday ill do it

Having them like
wpn_mosin = 0,0,10

Should allow you then to remove line like
!wpn_mosin

I kept the old syntax for the ltx files so it would be compatible out of the box with all old loadout definitions (except loadout_injector.script for non-dltx users)

[covert pivot]

Original vanilla anomaly script is strange in multiple ways. It could be redone better

[verbal siren]

Some mods have XML descriptions that show these characters instead of bullet points. Probably an encoding issue. What is missing/wrong in them, so I could fix that?

[random fulcrum]

encode the file with windows-1251

also replace the character

but it needs to be encoded with that

otherwise it'll always get corrupted

[verbal siren]

All files should be encoded in windows-1251? Isn't that just for Russian?

[soft burrow]

all files with text that have symbols like bullet points

if it's just alphanumeric then it's not necessary

Vanilla 9x18mm ap: k_ap = 0.3, 9x18mm hp k_ap = 0.1, BaS ammo_9x21_sp10: k_ap = 0.032, .300 blk mod: .300 ap: k_ap = 0.050

like why do the modded bullets have 1/10th of the k_ap modifier?

Especially when I was working on OAO plates compatibility, the plate BR modifiers were 0.01-0.06 corresponding to 1-6 BR armor increase

Unless it's dltx'd somewhere

[covert pivot]

Gamma standard is ~1/10th of vanilla values

[simple sequoia]

So vanilla ones got dltx'd?

to be 1/10 of what's in the config

[covert pivot]

i mean what config are you looking at

weapon_ammo.ltx from GAMMA Close Quarter Combat should be what matters

[simple sequoia]

181- Ballistics Overhaul (GBOOBS) - Grokitach\gamedata\configs\items\weapons\weapon_ammo.ltx

[covert pivot]

should be overwritten

[simple sequoia]

yeah, it got overwritten by cqb. nvm

my bad

[random fulcrum]

the damage number in the item's card is hand written to the description of the item

[misty mulch]

at some point in the grok_bo script it gets multiplied by x10 for the ap calculations. i don't 100% recall why, i vaguely thought it was an anti-multihit thing initially?

[simple sequoia]

That part I know, I just wanted to know what's the formula behind that card's nomber.

[misty mulch]

there isn't one

the stat card handwritten damage description bears 0 relation to k_hit

[echo stratus]

Guys, tell me how to make the laser sight brighter and the dot thicker?

[random fulcrum]

yeah it was a hunch i had about multihit that got added and became the norm

then like a week later demonized added the bullet callbacks to the game that allowed for a much cleaner and much more compatible multihit solutions

(that is also in gamma)

re: my problem above modifying upgrade trees in Call of Pripyat causing crashes (despite correct syntax) #╙🖇mods-making-discussion message
all the log will tell me for an error is:stack trace: 0023:0B590838 xrGame.dll, CDialogHolder::CleanInternals() [error][ 5] : Access is denied.What does this tell me about the error that is causing the crash?

[random fulcrum]

dive into the source code

look for the class and the method the crash is referencing

[spark crypt]

Are you saying this to me?

[spark crypt]

If so, I looked at the souce code and learned exactly nothing from it```void CDialogHolder::CleanInternals()
{
while (!m_input_receivers.empty())
m_input_receivers.pop_back();

m_dialogsToRender.clear();
GetUICursor().Hide();

}```

[simple sequoia]

Access is denied error is giving me heebiejeebies.

Where exactly have you installed your game?

Bc error 5 involves fucked user permissions in Windows.

Look up generic c++ error 5 stuff too.

For fixes.

Maybe something will help

[simple sequoia]

.

Stuff like AV, user permissions, hell check event log on your OS, might be something there

So with the current update the UMP is positioned further from the player than it has been in the past. I am trying to move it back closer without going through and editing all the position values for the weapon and the scopes but adding the hud_fov line in the weapons ltx file only moves it even further and it stays the same no matter the value. I have also removed it from the barry_hud_fov_remover file. Is there something I am missing as far as how to go about this?

[fair inlet]

make sure the Reanimation is installed with 0.6 hud fov option

[gaunt wraith]

So would that be the original firebreath one, the addon one, or the GAMMA UMP position one?

[fair inlet]

firebreath

[young solstice]

Does anyone know what file is responsible for poster sizes? xml, ltx or what? I've tried to find but unsuccessfully. Just need to avoid that black stripes

[gaunt wraith]

Worked like a charm. Thanks so much man

[next robin]

What're the numbers for weapon stat firemodes? im assuming 1 is semi fire, 2 burst, 3 auto?

I've also seen -1

So maybe thats auto

[covert pivot]

-1 is auto

2 and 3 are both burst fire modes

2 rounds or 3 rounds respectively

[next robin]

Thanks bunches, now I can enjoy UDP9 because burst fire is ass cheeks, and id rather it be auto

[next robin]

And another thing, does semi have a value? or is that already in by def

[covert pivot]

semi is 1

[next robin]

Dope thanks

[next robin]

Note to self:

Do NOT edit firemodes on guns, results in full game freeze

[wispy ferry]

I have had plenty success with DLTX gun edits
often the changes do not apply properly unless you spawn in a new gun, but I've edited firemodes before with no issue

[next robin]

Well that is what i did, spawned in a udp9 in replacement of my current

Got frozen

[wispy ferry]

check your log for the specific crash reason
or even post your edit .ltx so I can look at it, my skills may be ass but another pair of eyes is another pair of eyes

[boreal dust]

Hey are there any pro modders that may be able to sanity check me here on a couple of mods? I've got two mods that just will not work, they're DLTX and worked in GAMMA previously, years ago, but re-checking and doing the same thing now, they no longer do. Anything glarigly wrong or obvious with these two?

It's as if i'm missing some core concept of DLTX or how it works now, but i can't understand what. It's a shame because i'd like to make more mods and get into other things but without knowing why these don't work, for seemingly no reason, it's put a bit of a halt to bothering with more mods.

[teal compass]

I have edited several gun's firemode and it was fine, how did you do it?

[next robin]

threw the line for firemode stuff in, spaced so its uniform, i then put for the UDP9's line

firemode = 1, -1

reckoni did something wrong and im just dumb. ik i overrided it too

[teal compass]

I thought it's "fire_modes = 1, -1"

if you type yours in I'm afraid that wont work

[next robin]

ye i just didnt space it in my msg, tabbing doesnt indent

i didnt quote the exact line, hold on let me open my ltx

fire_modes = 1, -1

[teal compass]

ok so if you literally just added , -1 onto the file it should work

yeah that

[next robin]

what if that extra space between the comma and -1 could be it.. hmm..

[teal compass]

when you freeze does it give any error msg or log?

[next robin]

Nah

[teal compass]

idk try it then

[next robin]

Straight freeze, have to task manager out

[teal compass]

anything in the log

that says some error

[next robin]

Checked earlier, no

[wispy ferry]

extra spaces and tabs are not a problem for the syntax IME
I've had that on several of the DLTX edits I've done, never complains
