[plucky veldt]

Great, thank you.

[brisk crown]

since i don't have a nvidea card, my dds plugin is like these, to make icons i should select dxt5 and no mip maps, right?

[lilac idol]

yeah

no wait

for icons it's uncompressed

[fathom wagon]

So they look like they are the right name. I am going to double-check again.

[lilac idol]

maybe it's a faulty anim export

[brisk crown]

which one is uncompressed

[fathom wagon]

Well it has a reanimation of the Fort 500 and the TOZ194, so I might be able to get away with it since they appear to be using almost the same animation set. Worth a shot lmao

The Fort works just fine

[lilac idol]

should be something like "none"

[brisk crown]

is there a better plugin for .dds for non nvidea cards? (photoshop)

[fathom wagon]

Yeah something seems to be wrong for sure, mostly if the names match up.

[summer stream]

GIMP
Paint.net

[lilac idol]

that's definetly an animation conflict

[fathom wagon]

The Fort 500 is fine. But the TOZ also in the pack is bugged lol

[lilac idol]

try putting the animation in blender and see how it looks

[brisk crown]

the one i'm using is this one https://developer.nvidia.com/tools-downloads#?dn=texture-tools-for-adobe-photoshop-8-55
looks old

[fair inlet]

if this is gamma then weapon sound tweaks change the anim

[fathom wagon]

Of course it does lol

I'll check it right now. EDIT: I have it turned off for IWPS. I should check there in case.

[brisk crown]

you guys use paint.net? ima try that, i get confused while using gimp with the shortcuts (cuz it looks somewhat like ps)

[teal compass]

might also be a hand animation conflict

like this #╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

[fathom wagon]

From the looks of it, it appears to be using (or trying to use) the same animations as the Fort 500. Going to mess around with that and try using the Fort reload animation name just in case. If not, I'll just settle for the Fort 500 which I was really after.

Found the culprit - IWPS. Oleh was still technically right lol

I was searching for the wrong section. Was using the gun's section and not the HUD section. Notepad++ is so damn useful.

[rotund iris]

in what way? like in every sense of the word?

[summer stream]

1. crash at any time
2. broken models and wrong weights on some

[rotund iris]

and every iterative of the mod inherits those issues?

idk if EXP's hd models are also based off them but they did take them out in later updates so it is telling, i guess

[fair granite]

There is a way to make AI always see you through bushes at a minimum distance like 1m?

[random fulcrum]

i can think of an extremely expensive way of making this

[fair granite]

does this parameter have anything to do with it?

I'm really annoyed by the fact that a NPC can stand at melee range of you while you are inside a bush and not see you

[quasi narwhal]

are u thinking on raycasting the actor's position on every npc movement or some shit

[random fulcrum]

yeah lmfao

that's the first thing that came to mind

have a ticker that has a proximity check for the player and a bush

[quasi narwhal]

I'm not sure the engine already supports something like that, but I'd say the "easiest"/dirty way of doing it is checking for NPCs nearby the actor every 250ms or so and make them aggressive if that's the case

[random fulcrum]

and if so, do a raycast

but that shit is hilariously impractical and expensive

[quasi narwhal]

yep lol

I think that there are methods to iterate objects near the actor, if you can use a short range and make sure that's not being called often

maybe it won't be too expensive

but it still is

[random fulcrum]

would still need to account for other people in the squad

or other nearby people

and handle aggro correctly

[quasi narwhal]

yeah, the aggro part is the nightmare in this shit for me

[random fulcrum]

saying that because i don't know how aggro propagates really

[quasi narwhal]

cause in theory you'd have to state manage the already aggroed NPCs i think

[random fulcrum]

like what if the script picks the closest guy to the bush and only he aggros and the rest of the squad is none the wiser

[quasi narwhal]

or just make sure they're not being re-aggroed

[random fulcrum]

or what if it accidentally makes a neutral to you dude aggro'd too

[quasi narwhal]

yeah you'd have to make the aggro logic iterate over the NPC squad and aggro all of them i believe

sounds... idk how to describe it

[random fulcrum]

ye and it gets exponentially more expensive

the deeper you dig

[quasi narwhal]

what if the squadmate is already dead

[random fulcrum]

it is just a matter of tuning the visibility factor through bushes and or getting good at the game

[fair granite]

Yea, I usually just don't sit inside the bush, but it is funny cause it is actually the most op way to wipe enemies, specially if they are out of nades lol

if you play on autumn or winter it's even worst x.x

at least summer you can't see shit from inside it

[random fulcrum]

then don't do it

[quasi narwhal]

based players ignore stealth and go in all guns blazing

[fair granite]

I really dislike companions and playing on a higher difficulties make it hard to just blast stuff away, but it is what it is

[orchid anvil]

Is there anyway to force an outfit to have over 5? I'm not sure how GAMMA did it, the config files refuse to change over 5.

[drifting moat]

Context: Have no nitro so I can't DM this to @celest forge

[brisk crown]

yay now it makes sense to use this scope on toz

[orchid anvil]

looking forward to this, when i started playing and repaired an m37 was dissapointed by the lack of slugs for 20 gauge, that scope offset is bugging me but thats not your problem lol

[fair canopy]

gonna have to fix it yourself if it bothers you

[orchid anvil]

yea ik, im only now starting to get under the hood

btw do you know how gamma managed to get above 5 slots for outfits?

[fair canopy]

i mean, youre going to need to edit the model to change the scope position

and yeah via a mod that lets you go past 5 slots

[brisk crown]

there's a mod that has 20x70 slugs and other experimental ammo, but I've only wanted 20x70 slugs, so i had to make myself, i tried making a standalone but I'm kinda newbie, so I kinda integrated with gamma files to make this work

it has a dmg between a hydrashock and 357-hp

[orchid anvil]

is there a mod that exists for that or do I have to figure that out by myself?

[orchid anvil]

whats the penetration like?

[fair canopy]

its in gamma...

[brisk crown]

more like 9x19 fmj, br1 (19)

[orchid anvil]

the belt scroller?

[fair canopy]

probably

[orchid anvil]

better than buckshot, also 106 sniping will be goofy

[brisk crown]

the bullet is very heavy and slow, it drops more or less like 9x39

[orchid anvil]

to be expected, still very possible to hit at a decent range

[brisk crown]

i've spawned some renegades in the great swamps water pump and tested (firing from the car), it feels like firing a mossberg with scope, but bad lmao, even aiming at the head, sometimes i saw the bullet hiting the torso or arms due to spread + bullet speed

this is my first mod for this game, i used to make mods for other games

[orchid anvil]

I want to start getting into fairly simple mods, like I want to make reefer a perma companion similar to how hip works, I lack experience tho

[brisk crown]

finally another reefer's fan

[orchid anvil]

real, i saw a vid of someone getting him to x19 and thought it was funny

[brisk crown]

would be nice, he dies a lot in dark valley

[orchid anvil]

then wondered if I could edit his stats, and possibly add an option for him to be a companion after finishing his quest

[brisk crown]

this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I13MZdRDXoM&t=114s

[orchid anvil]

yup x8 woops

[marble carbon]

hey anyone know for send_tip dynamic_news_helper.send_tip(reply, se, math.random(5,15), 10, sender_b:character_icon(), "beep_1", "npc")
what is that 10? The amount of time the msg is on the screen or what

[brisk crown]

would be nice for a bandit/renegade/merc playthrough

since bandits/renegades/merc can't have hip, so they may have reefer

[steep wharf]

hello i have a question, is gamma compatible with the mod mag redux?

[orchid anvil]

yup, already got a simple quest for him too, no adding a whole lot

[teal compass]

of course

[steep wharf]

ok then, can anyone help me install it, bc i want to install it but im afraid i will fuck my game

[celest forge]

Not the channel for that really

[steep wharf]

[cosmic glade]

told to ask here and see if yall know anything - does anyone know if its possible to turn off the sounds for the eating animations? ive got misophonia and the sound of eating makes me nauseous

[quasi narwhal]

have you checked the FDDA options in MCM if there's no option for that already?
also, would u like just eating or drinking too?

[cosmic glade]

i dont see options to turn it off [i dont know how to mod lol] but i found the sound files. do i just need to delete the 'item usage' sound for food?

[teal compass]

you could try to do that

[cosmic glade]

guess i will, then. i can always just reinstall the mod if i end up breaking things i guess

[teal compass]

however I would suggest backup the sound somewhere incase you need it

true

[quasi narwhal]

i wouldn't do that cause it will cause a stutter every time you use a consumable

cause the ltx file will be referencing an unexisting sound file

but if u don't mind that go for it cause i think it won't crash the game

[cosmic glade]

would it be possible to edit the file then so it wont try to reference the missing sound files?

[quasi narwhal]

so, i think you can either change the ltx files and use $no_sound instead of the file path, or you could monkey patch fdda to mute the sounds

[teal compass]

I dont think missing sound would crash

I dont get stutter either

[quasi narwhal]

well yea then just delete the files, that'll be easier

[teal compass]

either way backup the file

incase something happens

[cosmic glade]

i dont have any saves so im not worried about breaking anything. i guess ill just delete the files and see what happens. would it be possible to edit the ogg file to make it muted and then just replace it so the ltx will still have a reference but the file itself wont have sound?

[quasi narwhal]

yeah you could also do that

i believe in the game unpacked files there's a muted sound file already, you can just copy and paste and rename that one

[cosmic glade]

do you happen to know where i could find that?

[quasi narwhal]

[thin socket]

can someone teach me why when i try to make a gun use
ammo_class = ammo_23x75_shrapnel, ammo_23x75_barrikada

the modded gun only use shrapnel, no barrikada

only happen on barrikada tho, other ammo types works well

[fair canopy]

look at how the toz has it setup

[brisk crown]

where does one change a value to make a shotgun equipable on melee/binoc slot (i'm moding ithaka_stakeout to have just 3 rounds and actually function like a shorty)

like this https://www.youtube.com/shorts/TUyEZyC8MJM?feature=share

[pine hatch]

Hi, can anyone help me with creating a custom HUD for vanilla anomaly?
I need to not just replace textures, but specifically prescribe the position of all elements, namely I have a question how to make the animation of health bars is not horizontal (as it is by default prescribed in the config), but vertical.

[thin socket]

find slot, make it 1

[thin socket]

uh...sry but which toz and look which way ?

[fair granite]

@quasi narwhal solved the bush situation editing the DDS texture files of my bushes and making then dense AF so I can't see shit from inside of it

But npcs can

[thin socket]

Needed help here please

[tepid folio]

Is there a fn auto 5 mod ?

[thorn merlin]

Trying to edit out the green iron sights out of the M1014 but ain't finding shit on the DDS file, is it in the bump map file?

[lilac idol]

open the gun's mesh with ogf editor and see if it has a tritium mesh in it

[thorn merlin]

Thanks, did not know about it.

[brisk crown]

bruh wth it kills a mono in norosog with 4 hs with 20x70 lmao, i think toz106 uses old values not the new ones with balistics and pen

it seems that every weapon at this close kills nosorogs with 3~4 hits, even a lebedev 9x19 with fmj

[random fulcrum]

wow it's almost like it's a super common piece of advice everyone that has more than 2 hours in the game says in this server

also the debug map is locked to easy

nosorog helmets take like 6 (!!!) headshots from anything that isn't overkill ap

takeaway is that ap is unnecessary if your aim is good

[thorn merlin]

What in tarnation is a tritium mesh, is it these?

[lilac idol]

yeah

tritium is usually separated into another mesh to use the "selflight" or something shader

which makes it bright

[thorn merlin]

ohh, no wonder on another texture that had the tritium sight in still didn't make the glow go away even after editing it.

thanks again.

[lilac idol]

np

[random fulcrum]

imagine how cool it would be if tritium sights started flickering when an emission is happening

or electronic sights malfunctioning like in the emp mission in mw2

[thorn merlin]

id be way cooler if there was an addon that wiped out every single tritium sight from the modpack

[misty mulch]

should be every electronic instead of tritium, since it's straight up just a radioactive material that glows. if anything, would love to see it pulse brighter in an emission

[lilac idol]

now imagine if tritium interacted with anomalies too

that'd be wayyy too cool

[misty mulch]

"why am i dying from radiation?!!!" "well you see the rad field supercharged the tritium in your sights..."

[thorn merlin]

that's what glowie sight users should get

[random fulcrum]

i know but it would be sp00ky

[pulsar flame]

Hey guys, quick question
what do these do?

r1_ssa_lod_a
r1_ssa_lod_b
r2_ssa_lod_a
r2_ssa_lod_b

[fair inlet]

LOD render distance?

[pulsar flame]

it's LOD render distance?

so then increasing all the values will increase the distance that LODs are rendered in?

[fair inlet]

I guess so

[pulsar flame]

if I set all of them to max then I get a lot of pop-ins

that's what I'm kinda confused about

[random fulcrum]

then try the minumum

grass density also works on an "inverted scale"

[pulsar flame]

true

[random fulcrum]

as in the highest value means no grass

[pulsar flame]

Yeah it's a bit annoying to deal with

also, do you know a lot about graphics configs?

[somber herald]

new bhs cancer system where you have to use chemo drugs to heal cancer damage (green) before you can first-aid and post-heal

[pulsar flame]

@random fulcrum

just wondering if you could take a look at this atmospheric preset editor I made

and see if I did everything right, and if there's any good settings that I should add to it

[pulsar flame]

tbh I'd like that

im all for realism

[somber herald]

[misty mulch]

the actual radiation realism update would be that it is actually impossible to detect "radiation damage", you don't get any indicators when you're taking it if you don't have a geiger counter up in your hand, it's cumulative, and can only be minimally reduced through lengthy expensive treatments that don't work if you don't do them IMMEDIATELY after exposure (which would be constant)

and then you just keel over and die

"realism" is an empty useless term unless you define it very carefully

[fair canopy]

Realism is a warm gun - John Lennon

[fair canopy]

I like the part of the mod where I'm taken to specialized hospital where the doctors try to prolong my miserable life for months while I slowly melt from the inside out. That's the realism we need

[somber herald]

imagine the immersion ...

what the fuck is even a communities relations

[misty mulch]

it's the table the game reads to know what faction relations should be.

like "which factions should loners hate" etc.

did it break apart

what could possibly touch it

man i wonder!

how would i know lmao

Hi guys. I am already tortured, spent 12 hours. I need a function that reduces the final result of stamina recovery calculation after applying all modifiers (outfit, artifacts, debuffs). I searched the whole modpack and realized that by changing max_power_restore_speed the desired result can not be achieved. Can someone tell me how to edit stamina recovery speed in GAMMA?

I would like to add the weapon to the NPC loadout. Once as a normal weapon without a scope and once with it. I don't understand the principle (...weapon:0:r) etc. What do I have to enter now? Example:

![renegade_trainee_primary]
wpn_lewd_stg44
wpn_lewd_stg44:0:r

I read in the original files that weapons without an "extension" and with ":0:r" can often be found. The first entry should probably be the weapon without accessories, but then what is the second entry?

[misty mulch]

from the comments in npc_loadouts.ltx, lightly edited:

[primery_something]
weapon:attachment_flag:ammo_type:%_weight:scope_chance:gl_chance:silencer_chance

weapon          - default: /  - [string]               
- section name of the weapon
attachment_flag - default: 0  - [0 - (number of flags)] 
- ( 0 - no attachment, Scope +1 to flag, GL add +2 to flag, Silencer add + 4 to flag. if it's set to "r", it will pick random attachement)
ammo_type       - default: 0  - [0 - (number of ammo - 1)] 
- (if it's set to "r", it will pick random ammo type)
weight          - default: 10 - [0 - 100]                 
- weight of entry, any number should be able to work over 0, but it will spend more time creating duplicate entries (if it's set to "d", it will use default value)
; - scope_chance            - default: 15     - [0 - 100]
- chance for scope to spawn on npc (if it's set to "d", it will use default value)
; - gl_chance                - default: 100     - [0 - 100]
- chance for grenade launcher to spawn on npc (if it's set to "d", it will use default value)
; - sil_chance                - default: 100     - [0 - 100]
- chance for silencer to spawn on npc (if it's set to "d", it will use default value)

if a section is omitted, the script uses the default value.

Hey I was trying to re-enable the vision slot for pistol/smg's and with a tip from oflin I edited the following file:
https://github.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA/commit/27eee54250d09955ba3fda2928926ad0d3cbf237#diff-f02674fe63695e7860611c95a62b827b611f13f98fa1d6f227b34d6ff4f67f3c

I just added the "5" into the pistol category and the game does accept pistol/smg's in the slot, but the inventory menu gets glitched and cannot actually display a weapon in the vision slot, despite the keybinding working

Does anyone know how to properly enable this to avoid the menu glitch?

[fair canopy]

ngl, its kinda useless to do that. get quick action wheel and you can swap to as many guns as you can carry

[teal compass]

is it really useful tho, I wanted to add it but people always mention some potential issues with it

[fair canopy]

probably user error. i havent had a single issue with it

[teal compass]

like do you assign the weapons to the wheel or it just auto selects every weapon

[teal compass]

hmmm then I need this, thanks for the info

[fair canopy]

you can add them to the wheel

[teal compass]

good

[fair canopy]

only problem is because of the way the game reads weapons, if you change the scope you basically changed the weapon so you need to add it to the wheel again

nothing to be done about that. its just engine stuff

[teal compass]

yeah because every gun+scope is techinally a new weapon

but I dont change scope too often so I could not a big problem

anyway thanks I'll try it!

[brisk crown]

https://www.reddit.com/r/CursedGuns/comments/pf4c96/tulyak_23mm_single_charge_pistol/?tl=pt-br

Or just add your most used version to the wheel and use Num+ I believe to switch when you need/not need your scope.

[minor echo]

Hi there, I have a rather general question regarding "the code" which handles inventories.
Since I encountered a noticable degradation of performance when moving stuff to/from "populated" inventories ("filled" stashes),
I would like to take a look at the portions of the code which handles this (kind of stuff).

My goal would be to understand why this happens and at best try to improve the situation.
However, I have zero idea where to start looking.
Maybe someone can point me in a rough direction? (or explain why this is hardly feasible to improve).

Thanks in advance!

[vital dock]

anyone know how guns rarity work? Im working on an endgame gun that and i want it to be extremely rare, like only spawning on master and legend isgs.

[sonic pagoda]

Stalker pls I need to dissable the safe zones in stalker, how to find this? sr_no_weapon.script

wtf help

[quasi narwhal]

sir that's a binary

[sonic pagoda]

What is a binary

Bro I just needed to turn off this and now mistral tells me to open the config.db with

***Locate the Script File:

The file sr_no_weapon.script is likely part of the game's vanilla files. If you're using a mod like Gunslinger, the file might be included in the mod's files or you might need to edit the vanilla file directly.
Use a tool like the XRay Toolset or AKS Toolset to extract and explore the game's archive files (.db files). These tools allow you to unpack and repack game archives.
Edit the Script:

Once you've located sr_no_weapon.script, open it with a text editor.
Look for the functions action_no_weapon:zone_enter() and action_no_weapon:zone_leave(). These functions likely control the behavior of entering and leaving safe zones.
Modify or comment out the lines within these functions to disable the weapon restriction. For example, you might comment out lines that force the player to holster their weapon.***

I googled xray toolset but which one???

[quasi narwhal]

10/10 you opened the .db file on VSCode didn't u

[quasi narwhal]

bruh

[sonic pagoda]

yes it only worked with that it didn't work with note

Okay fixed but how to make npcs liek sidorovich killable

[upper cloak]

how do you install this? Can you assign number keys to the weapons?

[drifting moat]

Sidorovich is not an actual NPC

From the code's perspective. Idk if it's possible to kill him without engine modding.

[worthy mortar]

... I think I just figured out what pro animators call, a life hack

Why worry about stuff when you can just copy transforms from a separate armature

[lilac idol]

copy transforms is crazy useful actually

[worthy mortar]

fr

I can keep all the hand related animations and just work on the stuff that is less delicate

Might figure out some other hacks in the meantime

[lilac idol]

god damn i had forgotten how awful the xray armature is without ik

you can also just copy the bone positions and copy paste them whenever you need it

[worthy mortar]

True, but in this case scenario I pretty much wanted to just edit 3 specific bones to make the hand not stick out like a sore thumb.
Gotta go hop onto a game with friends tho so that'll wait

[lilac idol]

even better tho

just copy paste that bitch to death

[simple scaffold]

Teleport behind him and you will see he is a being that cannot be killed

[umbral pilot]

Hey guys ! there is a mod to make the old stalker trilogy looks better ? ☺️

[teal compass]

is that even related to gamma

[spiral yew]

hi, sorry but what mods are the ones that disable the wait time for the psy-helmet and the one that disable the skinning animation?

[drifting moat]

Skinning animation is not on by default. You most likely accidentally pressed the keybind for "item use animations". I think the bind is "[" or "]" on the english ISO keyboards.

It will turn off: skinning anim, vice use anim, disassemble anim.
It won't turn off: drinking, eating, meds

[worthy mortar]

In all fairness, the channel description says "stalker mods and add-ons creations", not "gamma mods and add-ons creation"

Talking about trilogy isn't prohibited in these chats

[worn fiber]

Is there a way to make weapon sound play faster by editing weapon.ltx file or I have to use sound editing software to make a new sound file?

[sonic pagoda]

What about beard?

[sonic pagoda]

I understood, I forgot that sidorovich in invencible, but what about Beard?

[drifting moat]

I read here that 2 characters are not actual NPCs. One is Sido for sure the other one I forgot. Beard rings a bell, but that might be jut entirely false memory

I think it was forester

that is just a flag in his character profile or logic ltx that marks him as in vulnerable.

only sid and forester are talking levl geometry.

[teal compass]

understandable

[celest forge]

Latter

[worn fiber]

Got it. Thank you.

[thin socket]

what is k_dist and which file(s) can i find such line ?

[slow bolt]

its a variable in the file that has wpn_aug_modern_mepro

so what weapon mods you got that has that weapon?

[thin socket]

its inside the vanilla gamma w_aug.ltx file, i did change the 9mm aug to be slot = 1. but thats the only change i did

[fair canopy]

It means the section isn't inheriting the correct info. Scope sections never rewrite all that info

[minor echo]

Hi, if someone had a pointer to the code which affects the inventory performance, that would be great. (See my previous question for more details)
Especially if I would have to deal with the engine itself or "only" (LUA) scripts.

[worn fiber]

Game engine struggles with mass item storage.

[celest forge]

Yeah that's just called "old 90s single threaded engine being stretched to limits it was not designed for"

[worn fiber]

I saw the solution in OP-2 mod for SoC. The text based storage that despawns items when you put something in and spawns them back when you pull them out. Lets you store thousands of items that way without game engine dying.

[minor echo]

So, I take these hints as it's "an engine / deeper" issue -- Already assumed it wouldn't be easy to fix, otherwise people would have taken care of it I guess

At first glance I found function UIInventory:LMode_RefreshInventories() within .\mods\G.A.M.M.A. UI\gamedata\scripts\ui_inventory.script
(I guess I'll try to poke around and break stuff to see if this is involved)

[worn fiber]

Every entity on the level counts towards the entity limit. Once it's reached the engine will crash.

That's why some mods had a system of NPCs "stealing" from you as a form of reduction of entities on the map.

[fair canopy]

In gamma's case, the npc despawner

[minor echo]

Oh, that is interesting, so in an extreme case a hoarding player would cause the game to crash (or would limit the NPC-count?) because of the number of items in stashes?

[fair inlet]

its purpose is decreasing online npc count for performance

[worn fiber]

The prefromance got so much better that I turned it off.

[sonic pagoda]

But how can I kill beard? What kind of file would I need to modify to kill him in ogsr

Character profile xml or logic ltx. Logic file may be specific to him, or part of the one for the level.

[stuck kernel]

THX

[misty mulch]

absolutely yes, can and does happen rarely. most of the time, most people have enough sense to realize the massive lag on opening stashes = the game telling them to stop hoarding. but it is entirely possible to crash the game because it's out of item IDs

[celest forge]

p90tac maybe?

[novel ruin]

how do i make sure an item is a gun and not a knife/bolt/nade ect? just to be absolutely sure

any idea on how i could increase the wepl hit sound louder ? sniping from long range with silenced weapons would be great

the farther the distance the lower the sound effect

[fair inlet]

iirc it should be possible to change the max distance param of the sound object in the script

NPChitSound:play_at_pos( ply, npc:position() )
NPChitSound.volume = volume
NPChitSound.frequency = random_float(0.95, 1.05)
NPChitSound.max_distance = 250

haven't tested though

thank you, will test it oout

[vital dock]

most of my blender-exported gun mashup have no textures, even though all the parts i used are from guns that i have installed
what could be the cause?

it was working before but after today's edits its messed up

[celest forge]

MAke sure this is not clicked when you export the mesh

[vital dock]

also for some reason the recoil stat isnt showing up ingame? all i did was copy pasted tcwp's mk47 ltx and renamed the mesh paths

[random fulcrum]

need the enhanced recoil plugin implementation for it to show up

it's a failsafe

otherwise your gun would crash the game as soon as you hover over it in the inventory

[vital dock]

it works though

[random fulcrum]

i know

[vital dock]

how do i do it?

[random fulcrum]

that is what i said

[teal compass]

make a enhanced recoil plugin for your gun

just search other gun's plugin you'll get how it works

[vital dock]

found it, and it works now
now i need to redo the meshes again

[teal compass]

🤯 just re export it without that option

i closed blender though

cant just open those exported ogf then re-export them right

#╟🔰☢newbies-chat message yeah I think so

[sturdy plaza]

how would someone go about a item which is sold by traders and its only use is to "open" it? to get items from it

at what files i could look or anything to use as a example?

[normal grail]

Does anyone know if there's any way to completely prevent NPCs from using grenades?

[drifting moat]

You might run into engine limitations. Or maybe you'll just need to do some heavy lifting Lua wise. I think you need to figure that one out since I haven't seen anything like that before

[drifting moat]

Maybe this is a good start? #╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

[sturdy plaza]

my best guess would be going into npc loadouts and they have a "extra" tab where the amount of grenades and the chances of them they can have. so if you just prevent them from having a grenade in the first place by editing that, they probably wont be able to throw anything

[normal grail]

Its the long way around, but i guess its the only way, since no simpler patch mod exists and i suck at creating mods and scripts from scratch

[teal compass]

I remember efp has rations which you can open it to get lots of provision, probably look there?

[sturdy plaza]

good idea, but god damn, i dont want to download a whole another mod pack

where can i find files about delivery quest packadges?

[drifting moat]

Oh damn I misunderstood this. Thought you want to create like a bag or something which inventory you could "open"

[sturdy plaza]

no, no, no, the general idea is to make a a box sold by a trader which you unbox to get ammo in bulk. just a bit cheaper if you buy in bulk. balance will be thought of it afterwards

[drifting moat]

You coulds tart digging around in task_delivery. You can find the file in ...\Anomaly\tools\_unpacked\scripts

[teal compass]

yeah I think this is fun

[drifting moat]

if you don't have the _unpacked folder use db_unpacker.bat in Anomaly\Tools

Or use the db_unpacker_all.bat but that would unpack many irrelevant stuff for you.

[teal compass]

dont do unpacker_all it would literally double your anomaly size

since you are unpacking every asset

ususally unpackers gives you config and scripts which is enough 99% of the time

[sturdy plaza]

nah, making this idea doesnt work qualifying it as ammo.

it needs more than one unit to disassemble to even get anything

[boreal bobcat]

Yeah, I was looking throughout those NPC loadouts I found grenade chance but, I still can't figure out why the F1's dissapear's from the corpses

[molten kettle]

It's not about NPC's it's about your scavenging skill

So that's the place I'd start looking

I see now, I checked some files about skill's and scavenging but I am not able to found something with explosives. Like I have every other explosive in my playthrough except F1's. I see it on some corpses sometimes but it just vanish instantly.

more over what would a B repair kit be considered as?

[drifting moat]

If you wonder what's the name: cleaning_kit_s toolkit_s respectively

[sick marsh]

thank you

[drifting moat]

You need to change the repair type in the .ltx of the weapon. For example ->
repair_type = rifle_7

Here're mappings that will be helpful.

    ["pistol"]      = {"cleaning_kit_p","toolkit_p"},
    ["shotgun"]     = {"cleaning_kit_s","toolkit_s"},
    ["rifle_5"]     = {"cleaning_kit_r5","toolkit_r5"},
    ["rifle_7"]     = {"cleaning_kit_r7","toolkit_r7"},

[sick marsh]

i see thanks and a type B would be shotgun right?

[teal compass]

yes, change rifle_7 to shotgun are you are all good

pistol is a , shotgun is b, rifle5 is c and rifle7 is d

Does anyone have a UI editor or something similar?
I want to create new UI elements in game and I'm pretty sure that editing .xml files and just through trial and error figuring out what the x y coordinates of HUD elements should be isn't the meta way.

So please tell me if I want to put buttons end etc on this menu I don't have to just guess the exact coordinates.

[teal compass]

uhhh take that screenshot and find the coordinate in photoshop for example

you might have to make different coordinate for different resolution

[celest forge]

SIE is the icon editor but i'm not sure if it's JUST for icons or works for all UI elements

[fair canopy]

it would probably work for ui eleents as well, you just need to use the pixel location instead of the xy coordinate

told to ask here - does anyone know if its possible to turn off the sounds for the eating animations? ive got misophonia and the sound of eating makes me nauseous. I tried basically muting the file and replacing it but it didnt work 🤢

[near dirge]

#╭📖faq message

[cosmic glade]

thanks, but not what im looking for. this is for the character, not FDDA

[near dirge]

It's not FDDA tho

It's sounds

[cosmic glade]

FDDA has sound files tho? also i dont want to mute character

[near dirge]

Idk they said it includes eating/drinking.. I don't hear any voices when I eat, only chewing
If that doesn't work then best I can suggest is to find an empty audio file (a 6 second sound file that's muted) and rename it to each eating sound and replace it.. So the sound will still play, it'll just be nothing..

[cosmic glade]

well the post is the opposite of what i need, i want to get rid of all eating noises but keep voice lines and such. i guess i can try replacing the FDDA files with silent.ogg from the base files

[near dirge]

Yeah do that then.. Use the silent.ogg or $no_sound.ogg and just rename it to each chewing sound..

[cosmic glade]

ok, ill see if it works

[wary lion]

Hi, how can i modify a backpack in game files?

[fringe herald]

I have an idea for a mod, but I don't know how to make it, because I am not a modder. So I am sharing it, because maybe someone will like it and create it:

A moment before the emission, a flock of crows can be heard cawing in the sky, presumably fleeing in a southerly direction from the center of Zona. However, it cannot be seen. The emission kills the birds that exist on the map at the time it starts.

I see two hypothetical ways to achieve this goal:

1. Add a line of code, to the crows' behavior, that will return them all to the south direction and increase their speed at the moment of emission.

• Add additional crow respawns at the moment of emission to increase their number in the sky.

2. Create a simple animation consisting of dozens of crow models flying at different heights, but in one direction, which will be played in the southern direction on each map, at the time of emission. These crows do not even need to have additional interaction capabilities. All they need to do is fly south before emission.

[simple scaffold]

might be able to do #2 with a particle effect.

as for #1 crows are very weird, they are handled separate from other mutants in every way and there are tons of comments in the scripts and engine about fixes/workarounds for them. i would be hesitant to mess with them too much without a lot of testing.

i don't do art tho. i play particale effects other ppl make i don't know how to make them.

[novel ruin]

is it possible to play 2 hud_animation at once, but one doesnt use the hands?

[naive plaza]

Anyone know where the setting or script is for "only one pelt in belt"?

[unborn crest]

I didn't have any mods that affect the ground, but it's just a grass mod.

[unborn crest]

I was disabling the fog in the game, and as it turned out, this was behind it.
I don't think they'll help me in other chats.
I think this is where the people who understand how to change this are, isn't it?

[drifting moat]

I bet this is for optimization purposes. You deleted the fog, but didn't change render distance

Games usually render stuff that are far away in a way shittier quality to save computational power

[drifting moat]

This chat is here for modders to talk about modding. This isn't a "support++" channel

[naive plaza]

Anyone know where the resistance/damage reduction calculations are? Specifically belt item calculations?

Basically I can add multiple pelts, but i only get the carry weight bonus? Not the resistances for example. (at least it doesn't show in UI)

[unborn crest]

Well, I understand that, but it's not a bug or a mistake.
They can discuss how to create a mod here, right?
Although I'm not creating a mod, I'm going to change the game in more ways than just tweaking it. I said right away that I wanted to find out how to change the land's lod.

[drifting moat]

Yes you're right. It was a slight misunderstanding from my part.

[unborn crest]

Not at all, I didn't need optimization. I didn't like the fog, which was already 300 meters away!
What kind of range setting are you talking about? Everything is set to the maximum in the game settings. Do I need to change the value in the files?
I understand that a distant texture is being used, and I just want to change it to green. Just show me where to find it!
((is it possible that the texture is simply missing? or does the absence look different?)

[unborn crest]

Are you talking about damage resistance in clothing?

[drifting moat]

Wasn't trying to imply you removed the fog for optimization. I'm telling you that the fog + weird graphics are used as optimization by the ppl who actually developed the game

You would need to use the full unpacker and actually edit the map I think.

[naive plaza]

See the message below the messag you replied to ❤️

[unborn crest]

Do you want to change the parameters of the pelt?

[naive snow]

I'm not sure what you're trying to change in there. The white horizon or the terrain turning a blueish past the LOD distance?

[unborn crest]

A white horizon, probably. It
seems to have appeared 0.9.3 or 0.9.3.1.
The ground is white in the distance (although in fact the distance there is no more than 500 meters)

[naive snow]

So the white horizon would be driven by Atmospheric, the mod. Each weather cycle has it's own horizon color for each color. So to edit it you'd need to edit the weather preset file for every weather + every hour

It might also be the skybox texture used for this weather, in which case you'd need to edit the skybox texture itself

[unborn crest]

Does the atmosphere really change the LOD of the soil, am I right now?

[naive snow]

No

[unborn crest]

❓

[naive snow]

If your issue is the blueish LOD, you can regenerate the LOD yourself

[unborn crest]

Okay, I misunderstood, I'm just using a translator, and I didn't immediately understand what you meant.

[unborn crest]

I need to change the Lod?

[naive snow]

Correct, if your issue is the LODs.

Anyone knows what handles adding to weapons icons, A B C D letters?

[teal compass]

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

[main plover]

Great Thanks I thinking about adding those indicators to weapon parts itself, because some C/D weapons use parts from lower tiers and IDK if I should try to automatize this or just edit icons file itself

[teal compass]

yeah its controled by repair_type

[celest forge]

You can't edit the icon letter

that's an assigned letter by a layer system

It's not baked into the icon itself

[molten kettle]

Not to mention there is a heavy interplay between tiers when you look at parts

Tiers C and D share many parts

some even going between B and C

Maybe even a single B and D (I think so)

[naive plaza]

I edited the corresponding script to re-allow multiple pelts.
The problem is that only the carry weight is applied for the extra pelts, not their potential resistance bonuses. It's not visible in the stats at least.

I want to know what script is responsible for calculating resistance bonus from belt items as there probably is some check there too.

[main plover]

That's why I want to create mod that adds to icons of parts A little dot in color according to usable repair/cleaning kit but I have no idea where to get icons file

look at its files.

[main plover]

Thank you so much was looking trought other mods with "parts" in name

[misty mulch]

nahhh, that's the mod that handles both renaming repair kits but also adds the icon overlay for a/b/c/d parts

wait actually it just adds the actual texture file that the overlay script uses

so i guess still looking for the mod that actively adds the overlays

[misty mulch]

found the specific script, it's from your gamma folder\mods\336- Item UI Improvements - Utjan\gamedata\scripts\z_item_icon_info.script, the function is lines 859-880

where are the configs located for the weapon cleaning items im trying to make it instead of how most of the parts need to be at least 60% they only need to be 40%

[worn fiber]

Many guns in GAMMA have this issue as well. It could be connected with weapon animations as for example if you press fire in the middle of the spring animation, the bullet will go in the direction of where the gun barrel is pointed. I don't know how to edit animation to test that theory more. If you find a solution please share it with me.

Gun inertia mods create additional movement of the gun model that make it deviate from the hip fire crosshair. If you disable them the base Anomaly also has the gun tilting when you move. It also creates deviation for hip fire. Tested with all "PDM_disp" set to 0 and fire_dispersion_base set to 0.

What ever is calculating the resistance has to be iterating the belt as well. Since the vanilla system would apply all pelt stats. So these extra stats have to be comming from. A script. Maybe a different script. It should still have to iterate the belt tho

[main plover]

Can script use methods/functions from different mod script? Or it needs to overwrite whole script to make it work?

[drifting moat]

It can use stuff from other scripts. Look at the unpacked ones for example. They're called throughout the mods

[main plover]

Good will test it out

[simple scaffold]

If the script you are calling is not a base anomaly script but rather one from a mod you may want to check the existence of the script/mod, unless you want it to be a hard dependency, aka your mod crashes if the other is missing, sometimes this makes sense like a mod that adds extra features to another but can't work on its own. other times you may want to change your behavior.
for instance my ammo check mod has very different behaviors if mags redux is installed. it calls a bunch of mags redux functions instead of base game ones.

some mods provide functions specifically for other mods to use:
MCM being the grand champion of this but even Sorting plus has functions at the end of the script that exist only for other mods to be able to check, set and unset favorites and junk. Internally they are not used.

I have several addons that use the same utility scripts. rax_persistent_highlights.script and rax_icon_layers.script are both used by sorting plus and mags redux for instance. by ensuring the util scripts were in a final state before releasing the mods using them i can ensure that all the mods have an identical script so load order won't cause problems. I even allow other modders to include those scripts in tier mods as long as they do not change them.

[main plover]

Very helpful thank you, I am using part of the script that assigns letters and armor tier
to weapons and armor class, it's not base anomaly but must have in gamma so it will be hardcoded it will add letters to weapon parts itself and if that's start working I will try to change letters to something different to not make weapon parts icons tooo busy for the eyes

[drowsy cloud]

does anybody know where the random names for faction select are stored? they are not in st_mm_faction_select

[simple scaffold]

rax_icon_layers can add dynamic layers to icons. (enable the junk/favorite icons in sorting plus mcm to see an example). maybe colored dots would be better than letters. keep in mind this can create inventory screen opening lag for some ppl. If you can use the inconlayer system that is part of the item section, which is static, that is much faster.

rax_persistent_highlights is what colors the junk favorite cells in SP. less versatile but also way less laggy. also the highlighting can be changed without redrawing the inventory which rax_icon_layers can't currently do.

[simple scaffold]

st_generate_snames

[drowsy cloud]

thank you 🫶

[main plover]

Yes I was thinking about dots

[simple scaffold]

the count of first and last names or each faction is in system.ltx so if you add/remove names you need to dltx those line. see section stalker_names_bandit https://github.com/Tosox/STALKER-Anomaly-gamedata/blob/v1.5.2/gamedata/configs/system.ltx#L462

[drowsy cloud]

oh damn that is super helpful, thank you!

[pallid acorn]

Random question and I apologize if this has been asked before; I tried searching but couldn't find the answer.

Does anyone happen to know what font the GAMMA title logo is written in?
Also on a related note, does anyone know the font used in the item icons, like for the little text that says what the item is? (i.e. the text that reads 'ACOG' on the icon or '9x18 HP' on the 9x18 Hollowpoints icon, etc.)

Bonus points if you're willing to provide me with links and or files for those respective fonts.

[simple scaffold]

if they are never going to change the static icon layer system in the item ltx is the best way. see how the artifact containers add the little artifact icon. or how mags redux adds the littel gear to special magazines:
https://github.com/RAX-Anomaly/MagsRedux/blob/main/gamedata/configs/items/weapons/magazines2/mag_9x18.ltx#L50
https://github.com/RAX-Anomaly/MagsRedux/blob/main/gamedata/configs/items/weapons/magazines2/base.ltx#L66

can have upto ten iconon layers. the sticker is that they have to be sequential so if an item already uses 1icon_layer you will need to use 2icon_layer for that itme but 1con_layer for all items that don't use 1icon_layer. (which is why it might be worth using the script even if it is a bit laggy for old computers as it doesn't care about what layers already exist.)

can get around the lag for the icon layer script by making it optional in MCM like SP does, or even providing a key to toggle it on and off.

[drowsy cloud]

I'm using A.N.U.S. currently which chooses it's own names for character select, but I'd like to have different names for the Randomize Part during Faction Select than using their premade names, I would just need to change the id name right like new_lname_stalker_0? also change name_cnt to something custom like new_name_cnt, and in the script would I need to change the local_name_cnt line to local new_name_cnt?

[simple scaffold]

something like that should work.

[drowsy cloud]

do I need to change the circled part too or just the "name_cnt" line?

[simple scaffold]

depends on how you want to store the name counts. you could just make a hard coded table in the script. or if you want to dltx system.ltx to have your numbers you don't need to change those lines at all.

hence "something like that" there are many ways to adjust how the names get chosen.

you could just replace st_generate_snames with a file of the same name that has your name list in it then dltx system.ltx for the new name counts and not change the code at all. (both eng and rus need replacing)

or you could implement the pollnet library and download a list of names from the internet.

[drowsy cloud]

I think I almost got it, only issue now is where in the script I added one "new_name" too much 😬

Got it!

I basically just removed the first_name line, because I don't need first names anyways if I'm using my own document

I couldn't just change the default file, because anus overwrites it with its own names for npcs, which I still wanna use alongside it

[unborn crest]

tell us, what does the meta.ini file mean in almost any mod?

[near dirge]

"A "meta.ini" file is a configuration file, typically used in the context of modding for games like Skyrim, that stores metadata about a mod, such as its version, where it was downloaded from, and which files it installed, allowing mod managers to track and manage the mod more efficiently; essentially, it's a "meta" information file stored in an .ini format."

[misty mulch]

it tells mo2 extra info about the mod

it is generated by mo2 and rarely comes with the actual mod that you downloaded. it is basically never an issue

[unborn crest]

Does MО2 generate it itself?

[misty mulch]

yes

[unborn crest]

ok

[misty mulch]

as soon as you install a mod, even if it's empty, MO2 will make a meta.ini file for it

it is not a problem but it also has nothing to do with the mod itself

[teal compass]

Does additive animation exist in stalker? I was trying to make a grip hand animation for my gun, I learned in source engine that you can apply additive layers to animations but idk how it is in stalker

[lilac idol]

you have to make a new hand anim

[teal compass]

yeah I made the idle with a new hand_animation, but how do I do the rest hands animations like reloads?

do I literally replace it frame by frame

[lilac idol]

yeah

I suggest you apply a child of constraint modifier so that the hand will dinamicaly follow the gun

[teal compass]

I tried but the hand just flies away when I assign the left hand to magazin

[lilac idol]

click on inverse

also this

[teal compass]

wtf thanks you saved my life

I never knew that

[teal compass]

thanks dude

[lilac idol]

np

[teal compass]

no one told me to click the inverse😭

maybe I'm blind but thanks I can finally progress

[celest forge]

if only additive animations were a thing

You wouldn't have to pretty much animate a gun twice if you put an UBGL on it

[teal compass]

you are right I just remembered

gls just doubles the omf list

[lilac idol]

yeah

[exotic wren]

how to export only selected parts image?

[lilac gorge]

hey so how hard would it be to create a new recipe manual book? i wanted to make new recipe books for specific things

[true lance]

where are the configs located for the weapon cleaning items im trying to make it instead of how most of the parts need to be at least 60% they only need to be 40%

[exotic wren]

idkn but mb watch Weapon Parts Overhaul mod folder and find config files

[true lance]

okay i went to thoes configs and the weapon cleaning kit min repair is already set kinda low but in game it is still 60% am i doing something wrong?

this is the shotgun cleaning kit

[exotic wren]

idkn for sure bit i thing maybee it set up in some of configs in this mod

[exotic wren]

try to serach this file in mod organaizer and change 0.60 to what u want and test in game to change apply or not

[bold timber]

is it normal for some NPCs to spawn without any weapon if they were spawned with debug?

or is it because I randomized everything in NPC loadouts

[true lance]

is .10 10%

[bold timber]

spawning squads seems working better than spawning individuals

[true lance]

loaded in sadly thoes didt change anything

also those have a ! so something is overriding them i believe

[teal compass]

I think spawning individuals in debug is bugged, squads works fine tho

[bold timber]

I see, thanks for confirmation

[bold timber]

Is there some kind of modding guide for Anomaly?

ah found it

Nobody has released anything from this right?, I've been keeping tabs over the months and nothing yet that I've seen.

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/blindsides-custom-ragdolls-for-modders

[drifting moat]

You will need to script in Lua too if you want this to work.

Forgot the concrete name of the file ~ artii_jamming_repairs has some hardcoded checks for weapon parts condition

[naive plaza]

Yeah that makes sense to me. But I still can't find anything that looks weird.
When I search the GAMMA folder in VS Code, I get 144 results in 80 files when searching for iterate_belt I looked at all of them and can't find anything that looks off. None of them mention pelts at all though. Pelts seem to count as artefacts in code or at least they seem to be treated as such.

[worthy mortar]

Didn't see anything using that either.

[exotic wren]

hey, how to understand what sounds are attached to this weapon if there are no shot sound lines in the config?

[teal compass]

could be in a different config

[fair inlet]

in the first line you can see the section from weapon_sounds.ltx gen12 inherits

[exotic wren]

this?

[fair inlet]

yes

[exotic wren]

thanks, did I understand the lines written here correctly? They use custom sounds for the shot lines and the ones that remain use sounds from wpn_saiga_sounds?

[fair inlet]

yes, sounds not defined in gen12 ltx are inherited from saiga_sounds

[rotund lotus]

anyone can help me coz i got no idea what this pls

i disabled all my mods to know other problems except the weapon mods

[exotic wren]

i find wpn_saiga_sounds line and next i find all setting and path to sound files, but what do this ":wpn_ak_sounds"?

[fair inlet]

saiga inherits sounds from ak

[exotic wren]

thanks

[teal compass]

you are in the wrong place, but I see you have the ssrs so did you replace the custom exes from that mod?

[rotund lotus]

Yes demonized i think

Or so idk i always use demonized even before that mod is in

[teal compass]

The mod has another custom exe you need to install

or else it wont work

[drifting moat]

If you use the SSRS you need to use the modded exes that come with it. Also check if any other mods overwrite the _g.script

I'll be home in about an hour. DM me and we'll figure it out in no time

[drifting moat]

Mine was built upon the most recent demomized exes, so it's the same thing basically. Except for the custom classes for the SSRS. We're working on making this part of the Vanilla demonized exes. Just needs a bit of polish and testing

[unborn crest]

it didn't help, the textures in the distance are still white.

[drowsy cloud]

hey, I have a question, I have 3 lines I added to the system.ltx file, I'd like to not include the system.ltx file in my mod tho, can I just make a new file in the same folder with these 3 lines or do I need to implement that new file somewhere in a script or something like that?

it's basically just the bottom one

edit: I just called it mod(underscore)system_[mod name].ltx and that worked 🙂

[quasi narwhal]

actually Burn, the LOD from the texture files (generated by the ezLOD generator) are the green ones you're seeing before the gray/white ground
you can see in the bottom right of your screenshot the ground_grass and the LOD textures "merging" together

[quasi narwhal]

try re-installing Aydins and select the autumn options. It includes a fix for that gray/white terrain in the distance

uuuh I had sent a separate file with that as a mod to add like a standalone fix but it was in the Memory of Home thread, which is gone so

if you want to separate that as a mod, check on the Aydins Autumn files (I think it was with the grass), it should be in the levels folder iirc

I've asked Ascii if we could fix that gray ground stuff and I believe it's planned for a future SSS release

[quasi narwhal]

btw it's only gonna help with the issue, not fix it 100%. the terrain rendering is kinda whack after that distance

[misty mulch]

please read first pin in this channel for the DLTX guide

if you are making it into a DLTX file you should NOT repeat categories in it

only include the section you're adding

[drowsy cloud]

did that, was just not completely sure if I needed to do stuff with #include or not, deleted that question after I got it working
and only included the section I added

[exotic wren]

hi, why doesn't weapon attach to hand automatically, or is that how it should be? https://youtu.be/uMd9c4tdJfA i use this guide to import step by step

[unborn crest]

388- Aydins Grass Tweaks SSS Terrain LOD Compatibility - aytabag
Should I turn it on?

[rare zodiac]

how can i change outfit stats? editing in anomaly folder dosent work

[lilac idol]

hand attaches automatically if the animation is made so that lead_gun bone and wpn_body are followed in 1:1

if that's not the case you have to position it manually

[exotic wren]

yep i found some solution,maybe helpfull to other. rig animation

[lilac idol]

yeah you can also apply modifiers actually

[exotic wren]

what its mean apply modifiers actually?

[lilac idol]

what you just did

[fair canopy]

o shit dat boy bak

[plush viper]

hi, sorry if im posting this in the wrong channel . i cant figure out how the drop chance values work, been trying to get a specific gun drop but no luck after 2 days of trying to get it. i just wanna know how rare it is, could anyone explain please?

[sturdy plaza]

wpn_eft_spear:r:6:100 would make it drop basically all the time

but...you are editing npc loadouts for isg

[plush viper]

no.. its for a specific gun drop

[fair canopy]

100 would weight it to drop against whatever other number. it doesnt mean 100%

[plush viper]

oh. sorry i misread your message . english not my first language .

yes its only for isg and merc drop

[sturdy plaza]

i assume the mod is a bit outdated as it doesnt have a "weight" value to it as all loadouts have been reworked to have that. ok, this clearly needs a person a lot more smarter in this than me.

[teal compass]

its 100 / sum of all weight number

in that section

[sturdy plaza]

as well...wait, does it work like that? having merc and isg loadouts in one file when it has to split between two in the end? as merc and isg loadouts are different files

[fair canopy]

what

[teal compass]

it's dltx file for this one gun

[fair canopy]

it doesnt add the weights. he's doing a dltx per section

[sturdy plaza]

yea, yea, i get it, but hold on, let me construct my sentence. even then it might be wrong

you dltx npc loadouts. each faction has its own ltx file. so wouldnt that mean you need to make 2 dltx files overall? or you can stuff changes of 2 files into that one dltx?

[plush viper]

this is a very small config

afaik its just for isg vet/master and merc legend/master

[fair canopy]

no. you can change anything that loads into the system in a single file

[sturdy plaza]

ah, ok , my bad then.

[plush viper]

so if i were to set wpn_eft_spear:r:6:50 it would increase the drop chance right?

[teal compass]

that just adds spear to the weapon spawn on those npcs

idk what default weight is but bigger number means more chance to drop

[fair canopy]

not necessarily. you have to look at the drop chance of everything in that drop list and then divide it by the total to get a % drop chance

its easier to look at something similar, take that weight, and then multiply it by some number to get a better idea of the drop chance when compared to weapons of a similar weight

[sturdy plaza]

i guess just spawn the gun with debug to see if it even works first. then you know its just your chances in the way of finding it

[plush viper]

ill just set it to 100 and call it a day , im not smart enough for all that

tysm for the help guys

[plush viper]

i did , it spawned but i dont wana cheat it in i wanna get it legit

[fair canopy]

its an already existing gun that he's adding weight to. it works.

[sturdy plaza]

aaaaa ok, i know nothing about the ar platform ingame

its not even an ar, but thats a whole different topic

[fair canopy]

[random fulcrum]

completely mental shit

[teal compass]

what

[teal compass]

hi if you dont mind would you look at this to see if its right? I fiddled around with the child of constraint and I want to know if this is right, also I wonder well the animation stay like this when I export this? thanks!

[lilac idol]

that seems right but I genuinely have no idea about how editing baked anims works

[teal compass]

yeah I wish I could use the rig and use ik bones there but I figured that I cant put baked animation into that

or somehow I get the unbaked ones

[lilac idol]

yeah it's not really possible, at least to my knowledge

[teal compass]

well if Nickolas still has the unbaked animation I might be able to do that

or else I'm doomed

anyway thanks

[worthy mortar]

So there's some clean up left but I don't think I got it in me to do it xD

And when I say clean up I mean holy clipping batman

Note: Didn't work with sprinting due to lowered sprint script being in GAMMA. I only did basic adjustments on the rest of the animations to work "well" with the adjusted shoulder and elbow positions.
Here's to hoping someone better at this than me can work the rest of the magic in?

Chances are someone will look at this and say the things that are left unseen are eldritch level of horrifying

[teal compass]

imo except that little wrist twitching during draw everything is perfect

good one still

[worthy mortar]

Works with remington 700 well as well

[teal compass]

yeah they use the same anim no wonder

[worthy mortar]

That being said a cleanup from someone who knows what they are doing would be nice

90% of the animation is original toz anim from bas
10% of the animation is hackjob to make the left arm pose differently

[teal compass]

I see

yeah the toz anim are like somewhat screwed lol

[worthy mortar]

Two Child of constraints on upper arm and lower arm
One Copy Transforms (all) on hand
One Copy transforms (positon) on "wrist"

And tons of hopes and dreams

[teal compass]

good

also does the omf for hands animation load by alphebetiacal order?

[worthy mortar]

The eldritch magic that is using one spare hand model to make the left hand have some kind of a base to follow

Yeah omf is alphabetical

[teal compass]

because like you dont assign the hand animations file path in ltx

ah that's why the zzz trick is there lol

[worthy mortar]

Sling looks sick

[worthy mortar]

The arm takes so much screenspace in original anim

[teal compass]

it looks like the hand came from someone else lmao

[worthy mortar]

It makes my wrist physically hurt if I try to hold my arms like in the original

Holding it from below feels a lot more natural

[teal compass]

I just tried it

I felt like my arm is gonna tear apart

[worthy mortar]

@lilac idol mind if I ask you to take a peek at the omf to try and clean it up? 👀
I done what I could with my limited skill at animating guns

[lilac idol]

I don't mind taking a peek but it will be tomorrow tho

[worthy mortar]

Fair enough

[lilac idol]

I'm tired as hell rn

[teal compass]

this is probably the first time I want to go fully insane

onyl reloads left

child of constraint saved my life

[tribal aspen]

The position of the weapon and high FOV does not help with that long arm. Less of it would be visible if it was pulled back into the shoulder more

[cosmic glade]

anyone know the file location/name for the guitar tracks and the OST?

• child of constraints

[fathom wagon]

I have now unlocked true modding power:

I have found a way to intercept the AP value of ammo when specifically being looked up for player-to-NPC damage calculations for GAMMA

Also for ArtiGrok and can also be expanded to other mods like ArtiBalls that change/modify damage calculations.

[teal compass]

so there is a way to buff ap for player only? nice

[fathom wagon]

Without having to overwrite the grok_bo.script file (or whatever script calls the specific lookup function), yes.

Monkeypatching is pretty powerful. I attempted it once before, but I didn't approach it the right way so it didn't work.

[teal compass]

🔥 that would be so good, you can also debuff ap so player suffer more lol but good to know

[fathom wagon]

Yeah, you could. Got no plans to do that though

[random fulcrum]

okay like unironically i need this knowledge

how did you patch in the middle of a function

that's crazy

[fathom wagon]

I'll send a screenshot of what I did later. Had to step away for a bit.

If you look at zz_item_artefact.script in GAMMA, it does a similar monkeypatch to hijack the condition for mutant pelts depending on the knife a player has.

[rotund lotus]

anyone know the mod that makes it easier to spawn all attachments in just right click in game? and no im not talking about debug

[fathom wagon]

Here is how I did it.

The first picture is the function that will act in place of the ini_sys:r_float_ex in the specific scripts - selective monkeypatching.

Then, in the second picture, I apply it to the scripts I want (this case grok_bo.script and cxv_artigrok_bo.script) and with additional code to facilitate what I need to do in the first funciton.

[random fulcrum]

oh that's genius

i was thinking about it like super in the back of my mind while waiting for the answer but still genius

give this man alpha modder

[fathom wagon]

Ofc if you doing it for specific scripts and know where you need to have it, you don't have to worry about having to monkeypatch the SYS_Param(...) function, but I believe the modded EXEs might have that just defer to ini_sys:r_whatever_type now.

[worthy mortar]

Have the gun model too ig

[lilac idol]

oh my god i genuinely can't understand how you did all of this without getting paid

id rather dip my balls into acid before touching any of these ESPECIALLY without ik

[worthy mortar]

I mean all of it already exists in the game files
I just used constraint black magic to modify the animation in fk

[lilac idol]

yeah but even then animation editing is cursed as hell

[worthy mortar]

It sure is

You have no idea how many times the arm turned into spaghetti

[lilac idol]

i imagine

this is in a curated rig btw

[worthy mortar]

Be glad its not the first attempt that had child of put on the wrist

When walking the wrist would swim back and forth like someone used the bone melting spell from harry potter

The second attempt just put the copy transforms constraint but only the position. I adjusted the rotation to fit the pose

What was the bug you exploited?

[pallid acorn]

Is that Beard? Why would you want to kill Beard? He's such a guy

[wispy ferry]

and why in the mod-making channel?

[fair canopy]

looks like he just debugged in a gl

big sploits

[pallid acorn]

I think he was here the other day asking about making a mod to make certain NPC's killable, like Sidorovich

sid is a geometry on the map iirc

so he cant be killed

[pallid acorn]

Sidorovich is a plant, confirmed

[drifting moat]

Bro has been struggling with this for days. Poor guy

[sonic pagoda]

When rpg shot touches ceratin npcs everyone becomes your enemy so the "immortal" npcs deactivate the protection

The "bug" is not a bug, I wasn't suposed to be there in the first place with the gun but the immortality can be "deactivated" this way for some reason

Basically

Everyone in safe zone -> Immortal (except random guy)

Kill random guy with explosive in safe zone -> His friends become my enemies

Beard is his friend = Beard is my enemy

Beard becomes "mortal" for some reason

OK. So I know the function to create an item inside the inventory of a given object. How would I create an item in a specific equipped slot (or for that matter delete it)?

better yet which script file from unpacked game should I look at for similar functions

How i can contribute to fix Russian translation of modification G.A.M.M.A. Close Quarter Combat : https://github.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA/blob/main/G.A.M.M.A/modpack_addons/G.A.M.M.A. Close Quarter Combat/gamedata/configs/text/rus/st_items_ammo.xml ?
It seems that Russian translation was encoded incorrectly and in game it looks weird

Can i just open a Merge Request with fix?

P.S: Idk if i'm allowed to tag Grok...

[random fulcrum]

encode the file with windows-1251

that's it

[visual orchid]

Since character are encoded wrongly, it is impossible to encode it back correctly. I have fixed file for myself and i want to publish that fix for everyone else who use that mode in russian language

[misty mulch]

you could just make a merge request, although I will say that GMTOP for all its sins, does fix this

Gamma Massive Text Overhaul project

[visual orchid]

I know, i know, but GMTOP is centralized and i want to improve translations for each mode apart if it is possible

and russian language is removed from latest versions of GMTOP

[misty mulch]

then yeah you could make a pull request to that file

question, my english is not the best, and i'm unsure if this sounds natural, even when using google translate/copilot to be certain

does this sounds natural do you? Context, when running or having arms damaged, you have a chance to drop the canteen of water on the ground

<string id="st_sip_purified"> <text>Purified Water Sip</text> </string> <string id="st_sip_purified_descr"> <text>Oops I've to get a better grip, maybe my arms are hurt or it slipped from my hand while I was moving, well at least there's a sip of purified water left</text> </string>

later i pretend to extend this to other multiuse foods

[brisk crown]

now i have to learn how to animate these sounds

broken_flask is a chance when getting hit

если я изменю в конфигах характеристики пищи, будут ли отображаться изменения в описании предмета(в игре)?

Hello !!

So I was messing around with the 'draggable hud editor' and was making some adjustments to some mess I made due to the mod load order or some other thing, when I learned that plenty of guns have an ALTERNATE AIMING MODE !!!!!

Which got me thinking ... does any handgun have an alternate aiming mode ??

I tried modifying the deagle's alt aim mode by adding the following to a new 'mod_system_xyz.ltx' file --

![wpn_eft_deagle]
use_alt_aim_hud = true

Long story short --- IT WORKS !!!

Now, how can we make it a single-handed mode though ?? You know, GANGSTA STYLE, tilted-to-the-side, that's the look I was going for .. but if I could make the alt-aim mode use the single-hand animation then that would be awesome ...

[drifting moat]

You want to have 2 aim modes for the deagle:

• Two handed
• One handed?

There are a good amount of ppl here who mod guns. Someone for sure will be able to give you an answer.
You can look at other gun's .ltx scripts in the meantime. Maybe you manage to figure it out on your own

[wintry rampart]

YUP !!!

The alt aim mode works on handguns too .. you can switch to it by pressing the grenade launcher key toggle ..

Also, when we have a detector/flashlight in our hand, the player uses single-hand animations ... could we 'trick' ourselves to believe that the other hand is 'busy' off-camera ??

(I just hope the cursed busy hands error doesn't plague my efforts :P)

[drifting moat]

I'm pretty sure these are what you need to modify.

if I change the characteristics of food in the configs, will the changes in the description of the item (in the game) be displayed?

[drifting moat]

There are usually .xml files that store stuff like description etc. If you change the stats like how much satiety it gives I'm pretty sure that updates automatically

These files are located in gamedata/configs I believe

Hello everyone, please tell me. I saw screenshots of armor skins/icons in the range from Stalker 2, is this mod available or has it not been added yet?

[main plover]

does anomaly support xml fallbacks? if ui\army_patch does not exist it will use first texture_id?

    <file name="ui\Equipment_icons">
        <texture id="ui_dyn_eq_army" x="1" y="1" width="48" height="53"/>
     </file>
     <file name="ui\army_patch">
        <texture id="ui_dyn_eq_army" x="1" y="1" width="48" height="53"/>
     </file>
</w>
