[barren spruce]

just talk in english and somebody could help you lol

[mortal trout]

i was just tihnking about some shaders making certain weathers/indoor/labs super super dark

[summer stream]

You should just bare with it

[barren spruce]

well its a common issue

[mortal trout]

im playing an invictus run, but its max graphicced out, is there any way to make this feasible? cus obviously i dont wanna endanger myself with a calm collected shader swap mid gameplay

[summer stream]

There should be a trigger for indoors so it can be triggered, as I think..but not fully sure, since it's stalker

[barren spruce]

you can try to solve with with a tonemap/light settings/reshade

[summer stream]

[mortal trout]

its a niche situation, and the norfair_core is pretty dope actually

[summer stream]

There is an adaption thing, as I remember

Can be used

[barren spruce]

no its not niche

everybody has it

eyeadaptation.fx

[mortal trout]

wait theres an actual solution then?

[summer stream]

Like when your eye is adapting for dark areas after you got literally flashbanged by sun

[mortal trout]

oh ye i forgot about that one

[summer stream]

Via reshade

[barren spruce]

i listed 3

[mortal trout]

ooooooooooh facts

[barren spruce]

[mortal trout]

cus i was wondering, in the merc base those light bulbs are just so scuffed 💀

[summer stream]

[mortal trout]

or those wall windows upstairs letting in no light is kinda sad

[quasi narwhal]

"I have business offer

You get: Help & Suffering
I get: Pleasure"

[barren spruce]

i mean if youre using reshade anyway

[mortal trout]

i actually got no clue what im using g

[barren spruce]

then just enable it and copy the values i sent you

then tweak them to your liking

[mortal trout]

i used the enable shaders jawn from gamma since they removed it

[barren spruce]

[mortal trout]

I MEAN, its rough out here bro, i got no god tier understanding of all this jazz

[barren spruce]

you aint gonna break me

Понял. Тогда UWP сношу из гаммы и качаю FWP

А почему кстати UWP больше недоступен?

[summer stream]

Автор забросил.

[regal bolt]

Мне казалось, он тут был. И я его скачал буквально на днях. Толи позавчера, толи пораньше

У меня так-то все работает и пушки новые имеются, стреляют, не крашат и у неписей дропаются, но есть вопросик

У меня среди всех 66 скачанных модулей для МО2 не работают 8, 9, 56 и 58

Я пока их отключил на время, но если снова подключаю, то игра не запускается

[gusty locust]

Hello, I'm trying to make certain weapons work onehanded with detectors and the rf receiver, I've tried following guides but nothing seems to work for me. Any help?

[summer stream]

Find ltx file for the guns. Set one_handed to 1.

[gusty locust]

?

[summer stream]

Then its single_handed

[gusty locust]

Still doesn't work

[summer stream]

What kind of gun are you trying to mod? Plus show me the section it uses, like wpn_####

[gusty locust]

MP9

For some reason the ltx file is out here instead of config/items/weapons

[summer stream]

It could be rewritten via other ltx that contains the same lines, you can check for conflicts

[summer stream]

Because it was made a mod_system at first.. duh

Author is a smartie

(frosty)

[gusty locust]

Soo.. that means?

[summer stream]

That means you need to find conflict related to mp9 within other files

[regal bolt]

Не подскажите, где скачать АТО 5 с данного канала Ютуб? Я вбил в поисковик, не отображает

[summer stream]

Moddb зашёл, потом ищешь

Пока что оно недоступно из-за того что сайт может проверять на наличие вирусов

[gusty locust]

I can't find other conflicts within the mods folder, I'll just not use it one handed..

[summer stream]

Damn..

You know you can make an empty mod, do the same way AND make the same ltx file, yet add ! before [wpn_mp9] section so it can be overwritten

Then you just simply make it a 1

Like
![wpn_mp9]

single_handed = 1

[gusty locust]

What's weird tho, if I pull out the detector with my knife out and then put the mp9 in the knife slot, the character briefly holds the mp9 with one hand but instantly puts the detector away

[summer stream]

Simple yet it works

[gusty locust]

I'll try that

Like so?

I mean this

Have never made mods before, so I don't really know what I'm doing

[summer stream]

No, remove the spaces BEFORE single_handed

and type two times tab after it

so you will do enough space and then you do = 1

[misty mulch]

the whitespace doesn't matter

doesn't matter how many spaces or tabs exist before the line. or after.

it's only for human readability, ltx files don't care about indenting

[gusty locust]

So, it still didn't work

I tried downloading this mod: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/dltx-machine-pistols-sawn-off-in-sidearm-slot

Unpacking, editing some files to work with the MP9, then repacking and putting it into Mod Manager

It allows me to put the MP9 in the knife slot but it won't even let me pull out the detector

I went into debug mode and tested the other weapons that were in the file and they worked no problem

The MP9 bugging out for no reason

[near dirge]

Maybe try adding hand_dependence = 1 no idea why your MP9 freaks out.. Mine works fine with a detector

[gusty locust]

Can you show me what you did into the files?

[near dirge]

Exactly what you did but made hand_dependence 1 as well (ignore the irrelevant entries)

Slot 1, hand dependence 1, and single handed 1.. That's all you need really

[gusty locust]

It just doesn't work @near dirge

Nothing even happens when I press 6

usually it would unequip any weapon I have and pull out the detector and knife

[hasty comet]

What file to edit to change what items and what prices Sidorovich uses? I tried editing trade_stalker_sidorovich.ltx located in C:\GAMMA RC3\mods\G.A.M.M.A. Economy (don't disable, turn on Black Market to buy gear)\gamedata\configs\items\trade but nothing changed.

It seems to be the highest priority plugin what sidorovich trade file in it so this makes no sense 😦

Im sure many of you have adjusted prices or added items for sale before so this must be a common question, but I could not find the highest priority trader plugin file by just searching for key words.

[gusty locust]

wait what the hell........

it's MY mp9 that doesn't work???????????????'

I spawned one in thru the F7 menu and it works just fine

[celest forge]

Yeah they do that

When doing changes like that its better to drop and spawn a fresh one

[gusty locust]

Man.....

[lyric glade]

is there any function/api documentation anywhere?

I'm trying to find out what functions do and what functions are available for use

[misty mulch]

hahahhaha no

generally in order to figure out what functions do, i have to trace back the fucking origin script file and read the function

[hasty comet]

which file edits trader stock? I tried the ltx files of gamma economy dont disable, and black market, but sidorovich stock didnt change 😦

tried adding af_fireball for test, and adjust overall sell and buy prices drastically, relaunch, new game, no changes, two attempts 😦

I run stock randomiser, with black market, vanilla gamma otherwise.

[lyric glade]

day ruined

[misty mulch]

is this after waiting ~24h for trader stocks to refresh?

oh right new game

i assume you turned off stock randomizer as well?

[hasty comet]

is that part of trade destockifier or alwyas on in vanilla?

[misty mulch]

part of destockifier

[hasty comet]

I made no changes to MCM or other options, just stock new game fast click, cordon spawn, check sid inventory, no changes no matter what I put in his black market file, or gamma economy ltx file.

[misty mulch]

i mean, when you are testing your changes, are you working with completely unmodified vanilla gamma or are you still using your custom modlist

because yeah trade_stalker_sidorovich.ltx is what controls his trade behaviour

[hasty comet]

Nothing changed except enable black market according to bot's instructions

I even changed
buy_item_exponent = 0.25
sell_item_exponent = 0.15

to those numbers, from like 2.5 and 0.75, and no changes in prices >:o

[misty mulch]

turn off black market as well if you're testing

[lyric glade]

unfortunaly I can't work without documentation. no time to dig into game files and figure out what's what. thanks for the help anyways veerserif

[misty mulch]

may as well start from a blank slate

[main plover]

what is the best way to retexture weapon? Because I opened dds for ak 105 and my brain not braining anymore

[rotund iris]

Is npc looting behavior in gamma just fundamentally broke

[misty mulch]

wydm "fundamentally broke"

are you trying to re enable it or alter it

[rotund iris]

im trying to enable it and from all the addons here i assume the sentiment of its broke is accurate

[misty mulch]

!claim

[queen pine]

@rotund iris

To make NPC's stop claiming loot from dead bodies, disable:

• G.A.M.M.A. NPC Loot Claim Remade

If you want to make NPC's actually loot the dead bodies, disable:

• 311- NPC Stop Looting Dead Bodies - DTTheGunslinger

[misty mulch]

that's all you have to do

it's "broken" in the sense that npcs will loot mid fight instead of, you know, shooting at things, and it's possible for an npc to loot so much it causes an out of memory error when you kill and try to loot them

but nothing stops you from turning it back on

[random fulcrum]

what if instead of having the messages about not looting a corpse you actually just can open the bag but it's completely empty

like just clear out the npc's inventory

[slow bolt]

That is how it should have been

cause that message made no sense otherwise

I thought it was a quest NPC or smth

[frail scaffold]

I previously asked this in the 'newbies' chat, but I'm looking for additional insight into the 'Hardcore AI' option from possible modders. The general consensus is that it improves AI accuracy when the player is moving, but I’d like confirmation on how Stalker AI works overall. Specifically, do higher-level stalkers gain increased accuracy, or are there any other factors that influence their aiming precision?

[hasty comet]

it was the gamma economy dont touch plugin after all, thank you for help, I just entered new item in wrong section ❤️ Destockifier did not change it really it seems, not noticably at least, testing was still successful with destock enabled.

Now, can i ask, last question for me today: which file is responsible for dis-allowing you to sell outfits and guns to any merchant? Do I just alter trade_generic_buy and trade_generic_sell files and add outfits back?

[drifting moat]

This is something I read in the chat a while ago:

AI calculates where to shoot based off of player speed. Gamma changes the base player speed, but the problem is that this change is not taken into the AI aim lead calculation. So in the case of GAMMA this option makes AI aim shittier.

[muted helm]

where would i find the stats of weapons, are they in the .ltx files of siad weapons or are they somewhere else?

[drifting moat]

Yes and no. Afaik the configs of a weapon can be scattered across multiple .ltx files

[muted helm]

yeah i think they have presets and only load said presets in the .ltx

good to know ig

thanks

[misty mulch]

mainly still in the .ltx files. most (though not all) weapon config changes in gamma are in direct overwrites barring a relatively small number of DLTX files

[misty mulch]

literally just lets ai lead shots on moving targets

[sudden inlet]

You better load values directly from running game

[muted helm]

yeah im gonna just quit pretending like i know what im doing in the ltx files ngl, i've been trying to add a laser to m249 for an hour now lmao

[misty mulch]

that isn't possible purely through ltx edits

you'd have to edit the models

[muted helm]

yeah i managed to make it play the animation and do the clicking sound but the dot doesnt show

[misty mulch]

there's no such thing as a "gun attachment system", you'd have to create a whole new item that would be "m249 with a laser on it"

[muted helm]

i thought it had something to do with bones but there doesnt seem to be a bone for a laser

[muted helm]

guess i was wrong from the start then yeah

making a whole new item seems more difficult than i could handle

[misty mulch]

yep. attachment systems are a huge pain in the ass and not easy

[muted helm]

i'll take your word for it mate

[misty mulch]

i mean shit anomaly technically treats "gun" and "gun with a scope" and "different gun, same scope" as three completely separate items that you could arbitrarily give different stats to

[muted helm]

oh is that why when you put a scope on a gun it goes back to your inv from the eq slot?

[misty mulch]

and that's for a type of attachment the game can handle

[misty mulch]

yes, the way attaching/detaching a scope works is that the game literally deletes the old gun and spawns the new one in your inv

[muted helm]

gotchaaa

[misty mulch]

• the scope you just separated, in the case of detaching scopes

[muted helm]

yeah

[misty mulch]

and in any case, that's for a type of "attachment" that the game can handle. the game doesn't have a system for LAMs. so that's why every gun with a laser is a completely separate variant

[muted helm]

yeah i did manage to add a new scope to that m249 and managed to add an alternative aiming to it too so i guess it will have to work without the laser

i really did think the laser part was going to be the easiest lmao

oh well

[drifting moat]

Check themrdemonized repo's newest release

It's not exactly that, but a good step towards an actual attachments system

[misty mulch]

yeah i was gonna say i don't think that's exactly an easy to use new system

that iwasamistake here can use to learn how to mod

[muted helm]

how does one even learn how to mod

[misty mulch]

you want to do something, you read the pinned links, you figure it out

[muted helm]

i would assume there aint many tutorials on specifically stalker modding right?

[misty mulch]

or in this instance you want to do something and then rapidly learn that this specific thing is very very difficult.

[misty mulch]

read the pinned messages

[muted helm]

in this chat?

[misty mulch]

i'll let you figure that one out

[muted helm]

yeah im quick like that

there seem to be many resources to learn from

thanks for info

i'll check it out

[drifting moat]

Oh that's for sure. I actually tried to test it but without an example didn't manage to get it working. Have to say I've never added a weapon via .ltx so that might've made it harder to test.

[pallid acorn]

Yeah I mean honestly I've been wondering why the whole attachment system for Anomaly has always been so jank.
I know it's an old-ass game with an old-ass engine, but I would've thought someone might have figured out a better system for attachments by now.
So like, is it one of those things where it's kind of hard-coded in the engine and it's basically impossible to create a better system?
Or is it more-so that creating that new system would just be too much of a pain in the ass, especially with reconfiguring/porting all the weapons currently in the game (not even factoring in modded weapons) to function on that new system? So like it's 'technically' possible, just too much work and ain't nobody got time for that?

Cuz like personally I had an idea for how to make a more cohesive weapon attachment system (One that could actually support integration of grips, lasers, scopes, etc without needing a million copies for every combination of attachments), but I genuinely don't know if it'd even be viable within x-ray's engine? This is also considering that I barely know anything about how I would even actually go about making such a system myself, code-wise. But assuming the engine could handle what's needed, and based on my observations I think it could, I feel like it should be possible.

[fair canopy]

considering it was just added to the engine a few days ago, its not impossible

the problem is for forgrips and shit it doesnt just take a few lines of code. you also need animations. you need to tell the game to switch between animations as well

and then why would you do foregrips and all the work if you werent going to adjust stats and stuff

[pallid acorn]

Of course of course.
I mean I know it wouldn't be easy, I was just wondering if it was possible.
Which evidently, it is.

[fair canopy]

take a look at desolation

[pallid acorn]

I have no idea what that is

[fair canopy]

it has a full tarkov style system. but it was also built around it based on anomaly 1.5.1

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-desolation

[pallid acorn]

Oh I see I see.

[fair canopy]

theyve been working on it for 4 years

[celest forge]

Main constraint imo is the animations

X-Ray, afaik, has no way of making procedural transitions of animations

So if you want a gun with a foregrip attachment, you have to make to sets, one with and one without

Same with different mags, grips, barrel lenghts

That's already the case with the UBGLs

[pallid acorn]

Well I dunno if it's the same thing necessarily, but don't you kinda get something like that with pistol/detectors?
Cuz like most detector compatible guns usually have a two-handed animation, but of course when you pull out the detector, it's using a different animation for the left hand, right?
I'm sure it wouldn't be the exact same thing, but surely someone could in theory do something similar, no?

Cuz I mean, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think mod makers are going out of their way to make paired pistol/detector animations for every combination of pistol & detector? Like they just kinda work together.

And forgive me, I may have no earthly clue what I'm talking about here. But like, that makes sense to me?

[celest forge]

I'm not sure about the intricacies but that's kinda different

Because that's pretty much separating the hands completely for two different things

While the other thing, for gun animations, I don't think you can animate both hands separately

[pallid acorn]

Well so how does that work with pistols/detectors then?
Cuz I mean the way I see it, wouldn't it basically just be instead of a detector dictating how the left hand is animated, it's just a config setting based on the attached grip dictating the left hand animation? Like I said I'm sure it wouldn't be the exact same thing and I'm sure if it were even possible, it'd take some finagling. But beyond arbitrary engine limitations, I can't see a reason why something similar wouldn't work? But then again I don't really know one way or the other. These are just my thoughts with my extremely limited knowledge.

If I had a better understanding on how xray worked and was just generally better at coding, I'd try to do it myself to see if I could figure it out.

I just figure I'd pose the question in case someone who might know better could tell me otherwise.

[random fulcrum]

it's the same animation but it hijacks the left hand for the detector

no you can't apply that to a foregrip

only hack i can think of is making the foregrip itself a detector of sorts thats held in that position

[pallid acorn]

[random fulcrum]

but that would look and feel awful

not only that but the logistics of conveying the mechanic to the player in a proper way

and also updating the items around

remembering the previously held detector

safeguards for when the previous detector was stashed/destroyed

etc

it's a nightmare

doable, yes, technically

but a nightmare to do in a way that's even remotely close to airtight

with systems like that you can't go for anything less than airtight

[pallid acorn]

I see what you're saying.
But I mean if one were to go through that effort, couldn't it be possible to basically just mimic the system used by the detectors rather than hijacking that system itself? That way it wouldn't touch or interfere with actual detectors.

It would, for all intents and purposes, function the same on the backend, it'd just technically be its own separate system.
And I mean I might be talking out of my ass here, but those are just my thoughts.

[celest forge]

That's the thing, with detectors it looks alright-ish because they're two separate entities

But with a mesh that's attached to the main gun, it could potentially look mega janky

Also, again, considering X-Ray doesn't have a way to do procedural animations

There's no way to do smooth transitions between normal grip vs foregrip vs diagonal grip, etc into mag or charging handle or whatever

It'd have to be made manually

that's how desolation and gunslinger do it afaik

They just tough it out and make several anim sets for each attachment

[pallid acorn]

Ah you know what I think I get what you're saying now.
So in other words, it's basically the same amount of work either way, just one way would be way more convoluted in its implementation.

[celest forge]

Pretty much yeah

Imo that's the main gripe with these modular attachment systems in this engine

[pallid acorn]

To hell with it. Let's just make our own xray engine, with blackjack, and hookers.

[celest forge]

POV 4A meetings

[indigo wyvern]

I'm currently trying to disable the FOV zoom when ADSing using scopes by editing the scope_zoom_factor to 100 in the ltx files for the guns, but as ive tested on the Siber M4A1 I can't seem to get it to work. I don't know which files i need to edit to get it to work.
i also dont know where to ask this lmao so im trying my best

[drifting moat]

What happens then when you have a gun in your hand and you put a grenade launcher on it? The hand moves to the right position so it doesn't clip the GL. That's not animation

[random fulcrum]

disable freezoom

[indigo wyvern]

i'll try that

[random fulcrum]

you have to disable like 4 mods that are called freezoom to fully get rid of it

but it makes the game more stable

[indigo wyvern]

i found like two that are called free zoom, kutes rewrite and slowvibes free zoom

darnit. i disabled anything that had 'zoom' in the name, but it appears theres no easy way out. its gotta look like the second screenshot

I got it! I just had to find another config file further up the priority list in mo2. now i just...have to find a way to increase the render resolution of the scopes as theres no option in the mcm menu.

[lilac idol]

it does in fact clip

and that's just a switch from normal idle animation to GL idle animation

[drifting moat]

But the same could be done for the grips, no? Or in other more polished games you absolutely don't need to animate the grip, GL idle animation? The hand just "knows" how to interact with the differemt grips?

Still this modular Anomaly update could be good for lasers, sights etc

[lilac idol]

afaik some games just use a different idle pose for grips that then apply to all the anims automatically

so here you still need to animate everything by hand

which isn't the biggest deal tbh, but it's another limitation that adds up

[drifting moat]

The guy who made that should've uploaded an example to his github at least. When we did the SSRS with Juan I made a small section on my github page dedicated to a little explanation and example on how to use the new engine class

[drifting moat]

That's such a lifesaver. Would take ages and a very skilled person for it to be implemented for the monolith engine

Getting to a point where the attachments could be added dynamically (other than grips) like lasers, sights would still be a great step forward

[lilac idol]

I don't think that will come any time soon

[drifting moat]

The engine got a basic system for it now. Only works for scopes atm.

[lilac idol]

yeah but the grips thingy specifically probably won't

that said, party_50 the goat fr

[drifting moat]

Yeah that would need an animation overhaul basically

Engine side

[gray marlin]

Guys, here's a question:
I play a sound using the play() method when I press a button.
How can I track when the sound is finished playing? I need to execute some code after the sound is played.

[drifting moat]

Idk if there are callbacks for it specifically. I think not. Your best bet is chrcking how long the sound is anf before playing it you register a timed event

[gray marlin]

That came to mind too, thought there might be something separate for that. Thanks.

[drifting moat]

Try checking the lua_help.script file. It has most stuff that are exposed by the engine

[drifting moat]

*most if not all

[gray marlin]

Yeah, that's where I looked. I found the playing method, but I guess I don't really know what it's for. It's supposed to keep track of whether the sound is playing or not, but when I put it in a loop, the game froze on purpose, XD

[drifting moat]

I'll take a peek

[drifting moat]

Look. This might help you.

[gray marlin]

Thanks, I'll see what can I do about that.

[gray marlin]

In general, I did as you suggested, through CreateTimeEvent()

I don't know why you need to know this, but thanks for the tip

[drifting moat]

No problem

[stone silo]

Hello everyone, has anyone installed Anomaly texture overhaul 5 on their g.a.m.m.a.?

[verbal siren]

The first slider in MCM > 3D scopes menu

[indigo wyvern]

ye, it just zooms in more.....

[muted helm]

i did it

thanks for the insight of how the game treats attachments as different guns

i would've never guessed that a laser itself is a 3d model with a red plane at the end of it

[random fulcrum]

snd:is_playing()

or whatever you called the sound as a variable

but that's the method you want

or yeah the playing one i couldn't remember it quite right

iirc is_playing is used in particles

great naming conventions and consistency

[gray marlin]

That's right.

Anyway, thx for info!

[verbal siren]

If set to 1, the image inside the scope has the same resolution as the image outside.

[indigo wyvern]

Yeah, its just got no zoom at that point. 😭

[verbal siren]

Zoom inside (the fake PiP effect) is done by resizing the pixels. So you have either zoom or nice resolution.

[indigo wyvern]

yee, ive come to unfortunately realize that 😭 the engine aint built for proper pip yet

[verbal siren]

I mean modders tried PiP. And it works, but performance is shit.

[summer stream]

PiP sucks

Do not use it

tarkov uses it aaand
you know the story

performance sucks a lot

[indigo wyvern]

So true.

[random fulcrum]

ghosts had it but they never brought it back seemingly for a reason

[celest forge]

that is indeed animation

When you make a gun with a grenade launcher you have to double the animations, making a variant of each one with the left hand on the grenade launcher

As showed in the animation sections for the BaS AK74N

[hasty comet]

I noticed Gamma now uses a new file for weapon descriptions, so I am changing my weapon flavour texts to become more international, to fit into the modern day 😎

"A well-kept, modern African folding blade, made of a blend of titanium, stainless and high-performance steel. Ideal both for guerrillas and government special forces operators alike. It is extremely good at piercing soft body armour and dealing good damage to flesh, but does not excel in either. The word 'Sebenza' is Zulu, and translates to 'work' - it is used similarly as the slavic word 'Rabota' for both ordinary jobs as well as military missions or mercenary contracts."

I encourage everyone to test these things around, see what fits your playthrough the best 🥳

And yes I am available to share these with anyone on dm, no need to credit me for any mods you use or publish either

[celest forge]

GAMMA uses a mod that overhauls most text of items in the game

[random fulcrum]

it replaces most gun descriptions with the first paragraph of their wikipedia article

[barren spruce]

[summer stream]

not you

[celest forge]

I hope "proper" pip doesn't become the standard soon or never

3DSS is bad enough

[summer stream]

true

[barren spruce]

[hasty comet]

Yes, found it 🙂

Theres also a separate file for melee items, found.

[oak pelican]

Guys how do I change the order of mods in mo2?

[undone spruce]

you can drag with your mouse, or right click > send to... > priority and write down the numer that you want your mod in

[native tree]

anyone knwo fix for this

[fair inlet]

headgear doesn't drop from stashes so it's not a problem

[undone spruce]

Is there a way to make the firing of a weapon be delayed?

Like the animation starts playing but the shot only occurs after some frames, thinking of like a R8 revolver on CSGO

[fair inlet]

only thing that comes to mind is melee, though it's probably hardcoded in class

[wintry rampart]

Hello people !

Is there a way to extend a certain animation's duration ?

I am actually looking to extend the 'Photo Of A Loved One''s Animation duration to around 3/4 seconds, if possible. The one currently just takes the photo out .. and puts it back rather quickly.

I was wondering if there's a way to tweak the animation duration or something ??

[drifting moat]

Maybe you can pausa/start animations, but I think a better way would be to actually create a new extended animation.

Look around in the lua_help.script see what you can find.

An OP way of discovering capabilities is checking said script then running a search for it in the mods folder of gamma so you can check how it's used.

[lilac idol]

the easiest way to do it that comes to mind is just editing the animation itself in blender and just extend the keyframes

[ashen hatch]

Is there a metro heavy helmet add-on?

[regal bolt]

Where can l find WTF mod adaptation for Gamma?

[misty mulch]

there isn't one, if you want it you'll have to make the patch yourself

[tidal zealot]

ok here is my issue...

looking down the sights is normal, but the gun looks very small in the hands

This is the size it should look

it only happens with the FN FAL at the moment, haven't seen any other issues with other guns

[lilac idol]

reposition the gun using hud editor

[tidal zealot]

if the F7 menu does not work with the HUD values for the gun, how do I do this, and how do I get the correct values?

Apparently the HUD editor in the F7 menu is not functional

Veersif said just a moment ago

I cannot get the values to stick. As soon as I click 'apply' the gun resets to the original values

[lilac idol]

wasn't there a tutorial for it pinged here or am I tripping

[misty mulch]

you want the mod "adjustable hud editor"

not the one that comes in the debug menu

[tidal zealot]

ok

is it installed with the 518 mods?

or is it separate

[misty mulch]

i THINK it's this one <#1226131003681013880 message>

[misty mulch]

separate

you do not need to get the modded exes though, those already come with gamma

[tidal zealot]

okidokey, so just install the zip file via the mod organizer and then activate it.

[undone spruce]

The editor does not change the mod files

When you click apply it saves the data in the cache_dbg file and you can recover it from there and substitute on your weapon ltx

[tidal zealot]

installing the separate mod HUD adjuster above crashes GAMMA

so, I will deactivate that one, reload the debug gamma version I use, press F7, and then go for the Weapon HUD adjustment and then see if the values in the cache_dbg file can be copied over to the weapon.ltx file. That makes sense.

[misty mulch]

...odds are good it will get overwritten by a dltx file anyway

[undone spruce]

It should be in Gamma already i think

[misty mulch]

adjustable scope view is in GAMMA, but there is no HUD reposition mod included in gamma

[undone spruce]

it's really not in it

Have you downloaded the one that's called dragable hud editor?

[misty mulch]

that is the exact mod that is making them crash out, see above

[undone spruce]

Weird

[misty mulch]

oh wait

[misty mulch]

alternate: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/draggable-hud-editor

fwiw pretty sure that crash can be fixed by commenting out just a few lines in the script it adds /shrug

[undone spruce]

You shouldn't have another hud editor in the modlist

And yeah the one I've downloaded is from moddb

[tidal zealot]

this is the editor that comes with Vanilla GAMMA

this one doesn't crash

the game

[undone spruce]

Yeah that's the hud editor

There isn't another one

[tidal zealot]

It's going to be a PITA to get the values right though

[misty mulch]

that debug menu editor does not work unless you go install one, so, go try the alternate link i sent you

[undone spruce]

Just drag the mouse with the line you wanna to change selected

I think it's h that shows the editor commands

[tidal zealot]

wildo

[tidal zealot]

doesn't move the gun while dragging.

[undone spruce]

Doesnt move it or you can't see it?

Try dragging hold shift or alt i think

Oh yeah your mod doesn't look like the draggable indeed

Try installing the moddb one it would show buttons for showing crusher and time speed in the menu

[tidal zealot]

just installed the alternate one that veersif recommended a few posts earlier

will see how that works

[misty mulch]

Pressing save on hud editor will save your edits into cache_dbg.ltx file in gamedata/configs. From there you can copy-paste changes to your ltx file of the weapon. PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE cache_dbg.ltx FILE IN gamedata/configs DIRECTORY BEFORE SAVING

read its description on moddb, there's videos

[tidal zealot]

Thank you. The alternate version does not crash GAMMA and also the weapon is movable with the mouse.

I mean the adjustment can be done with the mouse

[lilac idol]

[undone spruce]

Yeah its okay if it's empty

Just use the most when click save and itll have the new data

[misty mulch]

i will be honest with you: don't ask me how to use it, i've never repositioned a weapon in my life

[undone spruce]

For your issue you should only change the first 2 lines

Just the 1st line actually

[tidal zealot]

Yes, it looks like it indeed.

[summer stream]

FINALLY WE CAN USE 4.3

[tidal zealot]

Figured that one out pretty quicly 🙂

[summer stream]

[tidal zealot]

Now I need to find the FN_FAL mod in GAMMA and copy the values over probµ

[lilac idol]

it's a vanilla weapon

[tidal zealot]

any idea where to find the folder

?

is it in Anomaly or in Gamma folder?

[lilac idol]

not really, never unpacked my anomaly install

just make a dltx overwrite

[tidal zealot]

ok, I'm no stranger to modding things, but looks like I'll have to go a bit deeper in the rabbit hole and find some videos on how to do this.

a dltx overwrite? override?

This position seems a lot better. Now just have to make it stick

[misty mulch]

read first pinned msg here for a guide on writing DLTX overrides

[undone spruce]

Try to find wpn_fal on the mo2 file list in the right

High changes the ltz was named like it

[undone spruce]

You should find a .ltx file inside the configs folder

[lilac idol]

ltx files for weapons begin with w_, not wpn

and also it won't show there since it's a vanilla weapon

[undone spruce]

Oh, true

[tidal zealot]

yes, there is no LTX files in that summary

However, I'm not going to be able to do this, since I don't have much space left to unpack Anomaly

Gamma's a great game, but it's north of 100 Gigs

So, since I didn't want to use the FAL anyways, I'm gonna drop this, and hope that other guns don't have the same issue

making an LTX in Notepad ++ is all fine and dandy, but I'm not familiar with the Stalker Gamma or Anomaly file structure, and I don't have the space neither to unpack it.

[undone spruce]

Create a folder in gamma/mods and recreate the folder structure in there

[random fulcrum]

how do you not have like 20mb

[tidal zealot]

For that I need to know the name of the folder structure, which I do not before I unpack Anomaly

[random fulcrum]

use db_unpacker, not db_unpacker_all

[tidal zealot]

gamma is installed on my K, that's what's left

[random fulcrum]

that's also enough space for the fully unpacked anomaly

you were also looking inside the models folder instead of the configs folder

that's where ltx files go to

[tidal zealot]

yes, but apparently the FAL is a vanilla weapon and should thus not be found in the GAMMA modloader even on the left...?

[undone spruce]

If it's vanilla it should be gamedata\configs\items\weapons

If youre making a dltx override it shouldnt matter the file name as long as its 'loaded' after the original, hence starting the file with lots of zz

Just remember to add the ! Before wpn_fal and activate as your mod in mo2

[random fulcrum]

yeah it is

[tidal zealot]

ah?

[random fulcrum]

gamma has an i hope dummied out reanimation mod for the fal

because otherwise it's dead weight but i digress

[tidal zealot]

yeah, this is the way to go I believe

[random fulcrum]

it's not important either

[tidal zealot]

so making a separate mod with this as a base should work then?

and then just putting the corrected values from the HUD editor in there.

I think I can manage that

🙂

[undone spruce]

It could, but remember that making it as this means youre replacing the entirety of the original gamme file

If that mod is activated its replacing all vanilla values by whats in its file, if its not, then the vanilla values are the one that is working

[hasty comet]

Hey can anyone tell me how the configs/items/trade ltx files work, Im talking about the 4 numbers that come after items are listed 😦 can I message anyone to ask? I might have a few simple questions, if anyone modded these and knows please thank you 😦

I tried changing them on my own a few times but still confused about two things

(G.A.M.M.A Economy (dont disable) )

[tidal zealot]

The fal animations from this mod are activated by default. I could just make a copy of that mod, remove all the code in there and just insert the positioning.

That way when GAMMA gets updated, I don't lose my values, and I have 219 mods activated instead of 218

[undone spruce]

yeha should work

[misty mulch]

the reason i insist on telling you to make a DLTX override, instead of just copying this ltx file as a base, is that if there are any other DLTX mods that change the fal in GAMMA, they will have priority over your w_fal.ltx copy

[tidal zealot]

Yes, I understand

[celest forge]

This might actually be insane

[misty mulch]

so - in your case, you'd change wpn_kiparis to be whatever the fal section name is (probably wpn_fal but you cut off your screenshot)
and then yeah, you just copy paste the changed values (and ONLY the values) from your cache_dbg.ltx file into there

generally speaking it's bad practice to overwrite more than you need to

[tidal zealot]

there was only blank left on the screenshot I cut off.

[misty mulch]

you're just screenshotting my example

i know what's in it, i wrote that guide lmao

[misty mulch]

you cut off the section in this screenshot

[random fulcrum]

his ass is NOT reading

[tidal zealot]

I did realise that yes.

[misty mulch]

ok so... what is inside your DLTX mod?

[undone spruce]

Yo wait up

[tidal zealot]

I can read, Its just a bit deep to get into when I just started modding gamma about half an hour ago

my ass of course cannot read

that's a no brainer LOL

[misty mulch]

doesn't help that there is a second person who is having a parallel conversation with you

[tidal zealot]

The file structure is new to me as well, so cut me some slack please

🙂

[misty mulch]

brother the entire point of dltx is to not do this.

do NOT do a direct LTX file overwrite.

it is highly likely to not work anyway as ALL DLTX overwrites take priority over ltx files.

and gamma has a shitload of dltx reposition overwrites in play

[undone spruce]

Ok, i see

If he's using override then yeah

[misty mulch]

it is genuinely way better to struggle through learning how to make a DLTX override if you're trying to modify any LTX file in GAMMA

[tidal zealot]

This is my cache file

[misty mulch]

okay, you're going to copy paste that into your dltx file with one minor edit

[hasty comet]

This is my version of Sid's trade file's start.

buy_item_condition_factor = 0.05
buy_item_exponent = 2.5
sell_item_exponent = 0.5

discounts = discount_trasher

bolts_pack = 2, 3

adrenalin = 0.83,0.83

Does it mean he will always buy a bolts package for 3 times its price from player and less it for twice its price to player? Does it affect his stock?

And if I added it here:

bolts_pack = 2, 1
Would it instead mean that he stocks 2 of that item, for 100% of the time, each time his stocks update?

[tidal zealot]

yes, probably adding the ! before the [wpn_fal_hud]?

[misty mulch]

yup

[tidal zealot]

But the values are completely different from the ones in the screenshot and the ones in the mod

I mean the first values, the ones that matter for this

[indigo bridge]

hey
does anyone knows how to modify a toolkit drop probability? I opened like 15 yellow stashes up north and no expert tools so far
I can see I have a mode called "Expert toolkits tier 5" enabled, does it have anything to do with probability maybe? thanks, it's just not fun to have 100+ h of gameplay and no expert tools

[misty mulch]

read the name of it: the first line in the tool is "hands position". reread the lines in cache_dbg

[misty mulch]

there is nothing wrong here, and even if there were, it's more important to make sure you have a working dltx mod before you obsess over the numbers

[tidal zealot]

yes, the dbx cache file has 4 entries. Only 2 of them are the ones needed right? the values: hands_position = -0.002873, 0.039333, -0.176974
hands_position_16x9 = -0.002873, 0.039333, -0.176974

[misty mulch]

you need ALL of them.

because those are the values you changed.

[misty mulch]

again the more important thing, right now, is to make sure you have the correct file structure and filename for the dltx overwrite to work, so go try that first

[tidal zealot]

that will take some time

[misty mulch]

okay now i have time i can walk you through this. You'll have to edit the script your GAMMA folder\mods\G.A.M.M.A. Rare Stashes Balance\gamedata\scripts\treasure_manager.script

the relevant sections are lines 92 - 126, the bit that starts

local tools_map_tiers = {
  (a whole bunch of map level IDs and numbers)
}

For your purposes, what you need to know is that when a yellow stash is generated in one of those levels, the game picks one of the listed numbers. 5 = "will have an expert tool kit", 1 to 4 = "not an expert toolkit". In order to make expert tools more likely in a given map, either:

• add more 5 to the list of numbers, remembering to separate each number with a comma
• remove numbers that are not 5 to make it more likely that the game picks a 5.

[misty mulch]

!mo2search // if you need to know which level ID = which level name, check the file st_levels.xml (use the MO2 file searcher to find it)

[queen pine]

@indigo bridge Use the mod name search bar to find mods in MO2, and use the mod files search bar to find which files are from which mods. ||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​|| _ _ _ _ _ _ https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1098945649929617478/1165045267637211156/mo2-search.png

[sudden inlet]

Do you have an example? Usually those numbers are buy/sell multipliers

[hasty comet]

Can you add stalker_outfit into this merchant's selling so he has 0.5 chance to sell that item (50% it appears in his stock), stocks up to 12 copies of that item, and sells that item for 2 times the price and buys it from player for 3.5 times the price, and can you add novice_outfit into the file so this merchant always buys it from player character for 4.5 times the normal price of that item?

adding those two lines and those numbers into the file would clear its logic for me fully, thank you 🙂

[drifting moat]

You just got prompted the ChatGPT way

[hasty comet]

im not a bot, Im trying to update my old changes to stalker gämmä but forgot how to edit these files for traders

Also I have the same rank as you 😄 Ive been here a while

[drifting moat]

I have no idea how either of those relate to what I said

[sudden inlet]

That's actually a nice question. sells that item for 2 times the price and buys it from player for 3.5 times the price that should be done in file you just send.
But how do you edit chance to sell and stock amount - no idea, will take a look later Oo Is it really possible to set a chance?

[hasty comet]

this is a vanilla anomaly file that at the start has some logic written down on it that seems to allow chance to stock item

but those lines have like 5 numbers, so I am confused if I should write it like that on it to have it be a chance to be stocked

the gamma file only has 2 items which seem to be buy price and sell price

[sudden inlet]

When I was glancing over it, it is being used in npc to npc trading. Hoping I'm wrong

[hasty comet]

the gulag file? maybe, but.. really? prices to affect that kind of unseen AI interaction? I could swear Ive seen traders not stock some of their items sometimes!

but maybe I was already using destockifier by then back in the day. Damn. Not sure..

[sudden inlet]

I'm still new to modding, so def. can be wrong

[hasty comet]

Guess we need help from somebody who knows better 😦

[hasty comet]

Do you know which section I can put item into if I want the trader to buy it always for 1, 1 prices?

[sudden inlet]

I think supplies_1 and make sure it's not overwritten in next supply stages

[hasty comet]

thanks man 🙂 or girl?

I shall go test it soon

but if I omit it from supplies_2 maybe then its gone.. no, you can still find low tier items even in late game

anyway thanks you just saved my mod list / pack Im gonna share with friend tomorrow 🥳

[sudden inlet]

Apparently I lied, lol. Check the anomaly discord, just pinged you

[drifting moat]

I'm surprised this is not documented/documented better. Saw questions like this asked a few times

[sudden inlet]

Even if someone write guide, there is no any public common place to post it

[drifting moat]

Is there no way to contribute here? https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/

This is made by demonized, right?

[sudden inlet]

For now I would say buy_item_exponent - for how much player will buy, sell_item_exponent - for how much player will sell. In section first number - items count, second number - chance. Apparently if you have count > 1 then chance will be calculated for each one of them instead of whole

[sudden inlet]

We can actually! Yea, it's probably the best place

[hasty comet]

I thought this was already available information but seems like people been ignoring the poor traders for their mods 😦

I love to tinker with these files, having some obscure-ass merchant like the forest dude and flea market and Barman have some nice niche deals for semi rare weird drops adds a lot of flavour and encourages commuting around the zone

[sudden inlet]

It's really hard to find specific information about modding 😅

[tidal zealot]

The reset of the weapon in non aim view works, but the aim view uses the non-aiming view as a base and when aiming, the weapon gets raised over the head of the player.

[hasty comet]

but something as basic as traders when it comes to a game modded almost to Skyrim levels as this community is for? man..

hey congrats on triple stripe, now youre pro 😎 best tier obviously

[drifting moat]

Yep. Something like that is a welcome change IMO too.

Plus if you document how the hell those files work that's ++

[hasty comet]

well anything in [supply] sections is apparently how much stocked, and second number means what chance it appears on stock when refresh happens (24h default timer, I use 48 for realism, zone is hard to smuggle stuff into)

but there is a mystery section for buy and sell both above that, I think its the price modifiers for which trader will sell to you, and buy from you an item you write into that section

but I tried typing novice_outfit for sidorovich using black market and gamma economy dont delete, but at new game no novice outfit for sale on him no matter if many restart with new games :((

[drifting moat]

Guess it's removed by some DLTX. Never checked black market so idk what it does to restore trader armor, weapon

[drifting moat]

Also on anomaly DC: #491312215513759755 message

[hasty comet]

**Trader documentation: **
To have him sell an item always -> add item name directly underneath [trade_generic_sell] with 2 numbers in similar format as copied from any similar file, first number is the maximum price he asks for it, second number minimum he asks for it.
To have him always buy an item from you, same as above, but add directly underneath [trade_generic_buy] with same style 2 numbers after it.

To have item only appear after certain goodwill is reached with trader's faction, add it to corresponding Supplies section under those first 2 sections instead. [supplies_1] means always available if it says no {=actor_goodwill_ge line in that merchant's file almost at top on the buy_supplies section.

items put into Supply sections dont have fluctuating price, the 2 numbers there means: first -> how much of this will get stocked usually, second number -> how much is the chance that this trader's stock has that item type appear at all from 1% at 0.01 to sell it and 100% chance to appear with 1 on that second number!

That's the numbers explained 🤓

files are found in G.A.M.M.A. Economy (don't disable, turn on Black Market to buy gear)

Now someone can make a !trader_modding bot command or smth out of it

[slow bolt]

or pins here

[hasty comet]

In that case I still have to solve this

Gamma Economy removes the stuff from them, you can just add it to their trader files I think if you choose right section.

[sudden inlet]

Yea, guess someone just have to start agitating for pushing all useful information there.
I will definitely contribute to it with breadcrumbs of how to add animations to npcs logic as soon as I finish this

[drifting moat]

Yeah contributions to the modding book would be the best imo. Easy to search, everything in one place. Design is good

[drifting moat]

The link is for contribution, not the resource itself.

[shadow coral]

where could I find the individual weapons' ltx files? I want to have a look at the stats for the recoil, but I'm not sure where exactly they are located

[drifting moat]

In the mod's folder that adds it. If you want to check vanilla anomaly guns you have to unpack the db files first then take a look. I'm on phone now so can't tell you where they're located exactly, but I think it should be something like: anomaly/tools/_unpacked/configs/item/weapons. Now this is from memory so it's probably wrong, but it should be something like that.

[shadow coral]

all right, thanks, I'll have a look tomorrow after work

[misty mulch]

do note that the "recoil stats" in the ltx are not what's used in GAMMA for weapon recoil, since gamma uses grok's own version of Enhanced Recoil which hijacks the system completely

[random fulcrum]

that's not the case

the recoil stat does use those numbers as they are used in recoil

grok's version of enhanced recoil is literally (not "quite") anomaly's enhanced recoil but isolated to its own script file and its own ltx file

otherwise completely unmodified

which doesn't hijack the system at all

[random fulcrum]

you should instead note that the recoil stat ingame is a malignant tumor of arbitrary number crunching that has next to zero correlation with actual gameplay

that's your tldr on recoil

it's this way because of the sheer amount of randomness at play making it so that conveying recoil as is in any way even remotely close to understandable or digestible is literally impossible

source: i added the original recoil stat to gamma; i dissected the enhanced recoil plugin and made a thorough tutorial for it; i made the enhanced recoil gold mod (which actually does hijack recoil from the engine and does a completely new thing from it)

https://tenor.com/view/aoi-aoichan-gyari-anime-chocomint-gif-19069868

which does remind me that i should put all of this knowledge in the modding book

i'm "gatekeeping" an unholy amount of shit that i've gathered over the years

sorry for the diabolic rant chat

[misty mulch]

thank you for the corrections, though i will note, the conclusion is the same: by god do not try to use the recoil stat to understand anything about guns (in fact you are better off ignoring the entire concept of the stat card)

[fair canopy]

Imagine trusting the stats in anomaly, let alone gamma

[gusty heart]

um can i have some help

i get this

[summer girder]

This seems like a #🔨base-gamma-support or #🔨modded-gamma-support (if you changed anything in your modlist) issue

[gusty heart]

nah i fixed it

it was a mod

im sorry

Ace 52?

Wait nah wrong file

Carry on Have fun

awww thanks🩷

[clever sun]

what does the function
speed.add_speed("gotta_go_fast_run", run_coeff , false, true)
speed.add_speed("gotta_go_fast_sprint", sprint_coeff, true, true)
in run_coeff "false, true"
in sprint_coeff "true,true"
refer to?
what is the difference?

[drifting moat]

I thinl this is just the script that adjusts movement speed (gamma has increased move speed compared to anomaly)

Also. Just find the function and check the code and see what it does with the inputs.

[clever sun]

maybe it affects by this params?

i want to add walk and crouch speed modifiers in mcm menu, i managed to add a crouch coef(walk_coef is doesn't exist in actor.ltx, ill try to add it later), but it dont work at all. My script changes the default crouch value, i cant change it in game throught mcm menu. But if i change the FALSE and TRUE params in first script file it start to work but affects all other speeds.

i dont know why and trying to manage it somehow

[random fulcrum]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/gotta-go-fast-extended

If you want to learn go ahead and them compare your solution with the mod's.

[misty mulch]

This is the channel for making your own mods, not support for using mods

Is this with GAMMA or are you making your own modpack

[cosmic glade]

AHHHH my savior, thank you so much. I’ve been looking for a fix for about a month now

[misty mulch]

Yes

Where I will just tell you that the mod is already in GAMMA

[glacial helm]

doesnt look like the one on the video lol

is it because foggy?

[misty mulch]

Could be lots of things. Regardless, a question for #🔨modded-gamma-support where again I will just tell you it's already in GAMMA, along with a weather mod designed around SSS

[hasty comet]

What file or part of code affects weapon switch speed? I'd wish to make switching to pistols and smgs faster overall, but I can also edit the weapon files separately if its set there

[fair inlet]

you can check fluid aim script

[hasty comet]

That did it! although its already pretty good, didnt notice before but technically it is good for light guns

[fair inlet]

it interrupts draw anim for some guns though, beware if you apply it to smgs

[indigo wyvern]

I would like to retexture the PDA. Although I'm struggling to find the file for it. I'm trying to make it freedom-colored like Stalker 2 has for its faction-specific PDAs.

Здоров всем, такой вопрос, BaS чисто на ванильной аномали, реально ли репозиции наложить, может я что не так делаю? Вылетает

[shadow coral]

you can still go off of the stats that are already available, no? you've left an understandable description of how the system functions in the enhanced recoil ltx (at least I am assuming it was you), I'm simply going off of based on what I see there and the guns' behavior in the game. Are modifications there sufficient to change weapons' behavior in-game as well, or do I need to also tinker with the base anomaly file too?

I any case, I'll try experiment myself a bit

[random fulcrum]

both and that tutorial is also vague as i didn't quite understand the enhanced recoil gimmick yet

[native tree]

Thanks always for all help

You really good person 💯💪 thanks alot again

[wheat sedge]

i'm a bit new to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. modding, could anyone help me with getting this texture loaded correctly in blender?

[lilac idol]

go to the shading tab, click on the hand mesh and apply the texture using the image texture node

[sudden inlet]

Oh, I see why you said "no way"
Wrote them a message, hopefully repo will get opened

[drifting moat]

Hmm that's funny...

[sudden inlet]

Apparently it's fine. Github was trolling as usual

[wheat sedge]

thank you! also another question, is there any way to get the texture paint to work correctly? whenever i put anything on the texture it looks like this

[lilac idol]

sorry but i don't have any experience with weight paint or anything of the sort

[wheat sedge]

all good! thank you for your help anyways

[lethal garden]

Is it possible to swap the hands model used on one weapon for one thats used on another? Im not digging these RWAP Hand Models & I Havent learned how to do anything about it w/ Blender yet.

[celest forge]

wdym used on one weapon

[old berry]

its not the hands its the fact that rwap animations are ass

[slow bolt]

Hand models are not tied to the weapon

[undone spruce]

i've created two weapons and both automatically send you from debug map to swamps

other two ive made with also new ammo types doesnt do this

[slow bolt]

..what?

You sure you are not just triggering a level transition by walking around?

cause its there

[celest forge]

Yeah

There's an invisible transition to swamps in the debug menu

[undone spruce]

that happens too, but its not what happens

if i spawn the first weapon, and its not one of those, the player equips and all's good

if i spawn one of those weapons, you automatically get transitioned

mid animation even

ill get to the bottom of it

[celest forge]

World model

[undone spruce]

hmm, i think youre onto something

but my world models are crashing the game

let me fix that first

[native tree]

Is there a way to remove hideout fortune from all traders ?

[undone spruce]

bro, i cant export world ogf for the life of me

[wheat sedge]

i'm trying to make a simple mesh edit to the LASS mod but for some reason it turns out like this

edit: i used OGF tool to change the path of the texture which fixed that part, but the fingers are still messed up for some reason

edit again: nvm fixed it!

[summer stream]

[undone spruce]

im slowly going insane

ive exported the world ogf off the new blender version of pavelblend, the previous one, messed up through ogf tool, through ogf viewer, changed bone params, locations, all that shit, and the worlf ogf makes the game crashing evoking the correct_spawn_pos PhysicsShellHolder.cpp error

ive done pretty much everything sort of sdk actor that i couldnt make work yet

fucking finally

ok, before i go fully insane let me say what happened

pulled the armature from the hud model and deleted whatever wasnt wpn_body, wpn_silencer and magazin, for some reason its made the game crash

whatever worked, as was what also happened before with another of my mod was just duplicate the world armature from another model and then put your mesh in it

[undone spruce]

that was one of the mods that was sending me to the swamps, trying to see whats wrong with the other one, but it works fully

[summer stream]

sir you didnt have any vortex groups for the game to process bones
so it would crash

[undone spruce]

i had, properly assigned

Also tried several permutations of assigning the vortex groups

Also it looks like thats the issue with the game sending me to the swamps

Other gun model that sent me there had the magazin vortexes also included in wpn_body

Either that was the issue or i tried exporting through pavelblend with motions before, tho i deleted the motion ref from there before

Ill see into it fully later

[wheat sedge]

(: (still need to do proper texture edit and uv map)

[hasty comet]

You could be a hand model, Elise

lol nice work

[jade oxide]

bro is disappearing like if Thanos had snapped his fingers 💀

[drifting moat]

At first glance I thought that it's a cool death animation for some sort of anomaly

[jade oxide]

Haha

Could be a really nice idea indeed

[red topaz]

Hey guys, I wanted some help starting out with stalker modding

Can anyone help me understand how i can start

@wheat sedge i had some similar retexturing/ remodeling in mind using blender, could you help me with the workflow please?

[cunning wigeon]

Has someone tried porting the weapons from provaks weapon overhaul to anomaly since some of them are pretty cool

[random fulcrum]

provaks is anomaly

[celest forge]

And theyre all dogshit

[lofty parcel]

is this the right channel to ask about making your own patches/fixes for mods if they don't have a thread in mods posting

[undone spruce]

Yeah

But check the pins and see if it's something that could be covered by previous videos or posts

And search on discord as well

[misty mulch]

and say what you're trying to do, odds are one of us might know

[lofty parcel]

i might be asking in the wrong place actually since this is probably more of a support question, but im trying to figure out if artefact variationizer is bugged or if it's getting overwritten somehow

i don't think anyone is still on .91 or using variationizer though

[hidden badge]

I mean skif disintegrating is pretty dope looking. 😂

[lofty parcel]

im using actual accurate stats and ive got the stats working but it seems like anything with ballistic res is completely untouched by the mod

[cunning wigeon]

okay but has anyone tried making them work with gamma?

[cunning wigeon]

i mean not all of them sure some are buggy but not all are that bad

[celest forge]

I checked it out last year and I genuinely couldn't find anything that was even decent

All of them had either bad animations, horrible model or horrible textures

[cunning wigeon]

I mean it’s an old mod with weapons from taz and mods for cos or cop so of course it’s not up for modern standards but even so it adds weapons that haven’t till this day have been added to anomaly or even gamma to a working state

like seriously they have a flame thrower an actual flamethrower that sort of works just got to fix the ammo and then it works

[cunning wigeon]

But hey that’s your opinion

Everybody can’t agree with me so it’s fine

[half lance]

Damn I FINALLY removed the annoying wait for the FDDA medkit animation

Might be overkill

But it works

[cunning wigeon]

how do I add new weapons, I am thinking of porting taz weapons to anomaly and some misery guns as originally made

[undone spruce]

If they already work in a version of Anomaly or CoP shouldnt be hard

But if it uses any kind of plugin or outdated function that grants it special functionality then it may not work, also your have to generate data to some guns plugins and also hope its optimized as is

[cunning wigeon]

Uhhh okay

But how do I add them as guns in anomaly since adding guns to CoP and anomaly is two different things

[undone spruce]

Basically, creating ltx files for the weapons

[sudden inlet]

@hasty comet if you are still interested https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/configs/items/trade/trade.ltx.html

[hasty comet]

Im not sure, Im drowning in line edit work

I tried your method and found out I had to add each outfit to each trader's buy list to get them to buy my stupid outfits again, to encourage the glorious autism of running your very own tailor shop and selling outfits with switched components and glue plastered on top for profit

game has about 100 outfits and 3000 weapons since I wanted to also sell weapon loots I can carry for low extra penny

so 3000+ lines to edit manually into each trader buy section

I tried adding it 16 times, 16 times, like the detail supposedly in Fallout 76 as Godd Howard promised

but after 16th time editing black market presets, nothing worked, so Im going manual, 40% edited, its tiresome

manual works but god, even my Finnish autism, I hope I have the strength

[sudden inlet]

Modding at it's finest

[hasty comet]

x) but thanks for trying to help a knuckle head of course

[sudden inlet]

Let me know if you would like to write some tools. Sounds like it's quite possible, should be easy

[wheat sedge]

i’m still very much a beginner but i will answer any questions that i’m able to

[drifting moat]

I see you got to contributing

[sudden inlet]

Yea, turned out it's pretty easy, so why not

[drifting moat]

Good. Especially that you did one on Trader scripts.

[hasty comet]

dont leave all this nerdy stuff to just the boys! girls can game and mod just as well these days 🙂

Gamma modding is a big scene and welcomes even knuckleheads like myself, so you can make it here, too!

[wheat sedge]

exactly!! ❤️❤️

[hasty comet]

Most of the work is stealing code from another mod. Even gamma did it, they just gave credit for it, so its ok x) ctrl+v is your first tool.

Stealing property also fits the eastern europe theme of the game.

Hehe

We have fun here

[sudden inlet]

So what exactly do you do?
To restore outfits to traders you can dtlxtrade_preset with file mod_trade_preset_restore_outfits.ltx in configs/items/trade/presets with

![outfits_all]:!outfits,
![outfits_all]:outfits_ecolog```

[hasty comet]

I dont mean to make them sell them, thats kinda the magic of current gamma, you can only use what you find, mostly, minus some cheap masks I put there for emergencies, for steep price

just selling to traders so you can run your cozy tailor shop

[sudden inlet]

ooooh, okay

[hasty comet]

so I had to add each outfit and gun model to their buy section in the early page manually and its a pain and bloats files maybe but at least it worked 100% for sidorovich fast spawn newgame test, so thats what I take.

Unless your 4head is bigger and you got a smarter solution but maybe its not worth the brain storm, since I doubt it will lag the game, its just purchase filters, not loading new items each time you enter trader inventory.

[slender wren]

Anybody knows why freelok was disabled for reloading?

[fair inlet]

maybe some anims aren't detailed outside default fov

[drifting moat]

Some weapons aren't even detailed enough for freelook as is.

With some if you look to the right you can see where your arms end

[fair inlet]

vanilla guns or addons?

also thap or vanilla

[royal breach]

Hi guys I’m trying to fix something from the base anomaly game, but I couldn’t figure out how. I asked in the anomaly discord but I thought it’s worth a shot to ask in here as well since it’s also somehow a mod making. Basically I was trying to revive the mercenary mechanic in zaton, his squad id is zat_stancia_mech_merc_squad, but when I spawn him, the npc logic is wrong, and I cannot fix the npc logic as it will get overwritten back to what he spawned with when I leave and come back to the area. I’m not sure where went wrong or how to approach this issue.

[drifting moat]

Vanilla gamma

Also some modded, but that's another can of worms

@celest forge I'm looking at you 👀

But I don't really care about that. I enabled freelook while reloading. Much better this way.

[celest forge]

What

Do some of my guns have the end of the arms visible?

[drifting moat]

The StG-44 has it for sure

*While sprinting and freelooking

[drifting moat]

Look

[random fulcrum]

bro ask for his guns
is told about a non his gun

[drifting moat]

it is literally his gun

[lilac idol]

that'd be a gazillion doubloons to fix

[drifting moat]

I can pay in Robux

[celest forge]

I mean i dont make my guns with freelook in mind ngl

Since thats not a vanilla anomaly feature and I dont use that

[drifting moat]

It's fine no worries

[simple scaffold]

Did you spawn the squad or the NPC?

Did you get rid of the corpse first?

Need to spawn the squad, corpse needs to be gone first. Still might not work

[royal breach]

The squad contains 1 man, which is the mechanic. Spawn as squad for important npc would usually set up the correct NPC logic, but sadly not in this case. important npc’s corpse does not despawn, not sure if it’s an anomaly or gamma thing, so I deleted it with console command. I have revived multiple important npc with the same steps, however only this mechanic has issues for some reason.

My main question is, the ltx and script files seems correctly setup for this mercenary mechanic in Zaton, however when I spawn him the npc logic does not follow what it defined in these files

[random fulcrum]

it's like that one gif where the scout opens the fridge

[lofty parcel]

alright i mucked around with this again and cant find a single thing in any of variationizer's scripts that would cause the ballistic res. artifacts to be unaffected. does anyone know if there's something hardcoding the values for some artifacts? i wouldnt be surprised to see something like ballistic res. of artifacts being hardcoded after looking at how outfit stats work

Two Questions

1. Where can I find the level transition (LTX? Looking at Extra extra level transitions mod for reference) file for the base anomaly?
   I want to change two of the transitions from Truck Cem to different locations and if they're already setup, having that as a start would be great
2. What's the best way to find exact coordinants in game for placing things like level transition points? Like debug mode and then god mode fly around or is there a better way?

[sudden inlet]

1. For level transitions I would suggest to look https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/redone-transitions. You will have to remove old ones, create new and add bunch of configs, pretty complicated tho
2. add -dbgdev as launch argument in MO2 for dx11 game instance and then after loading saved game you 1) ESC to main menu 2) just press 2 until you see "positional hud" 3) return to game and you will have a list of your positional data on the screen 4) still have to fly around to get exact position

[gusty heart]

do you guys know if there is a mod where theres an animations where you open your backpack?

or if its hard to make

that dont have busyhands

[drifting moat]

Yes there is one. I don't know the name unfortunately, but I saw it in a YT video.

[ashen hatch]

Is there a mod that adds this helmet from metro? I've looked quiet a bit but I didn't find it, perhaps I missed it

[drifting moat]

What do you mean by this? Hunt has some cool weapons. Like that magazined stake gun. That is sick

[gusty heart]

yeah its cool i stoped playing metro becuase there are spiders

and im scared of them even tho im from the land down under

[ashen hatch]

9k verticales

@naive snow should i even worry about my anomaly crashing or na

"bar" is "the safe part of rostok". "rostok" is wild territory. check the file st_levels.xml to see how level IDs map onto level names.

[simple scaffold]

the options UI is too complicated to be a good reference IMO, and I know it better than anyone except Tronex.

better would be the lighting control UI. this is the UI that is launched from a button in the graphics options when you access them with a save loaded.

That is perfect. Thank you!

Hey guys, anyone knows how to make icons dx8 compatible? Someone reported an issue with my mod and I would like to learn how to fix this.

[lethal garden]

Exactly! For example, I like the hand animation/model used on the M4a1_siber, how can I use that same hand animation/model on another weapon?

Im not liking the hud hand animations on some of these RWAP weapons with the FOV I use, it clips w/ the screen

HOW do I assign hud hand animations to weapons of my choice?

[slow bolt]

No

very obviously not

[lethal garden]

So, hand models are not tied to the weapons, & I cant change the hand models used on weapons>

?*

[slow bolt]

Hand model != hand animation

you want animation and not the model

Animations ARE tied to the weapon

[lethal garden]

Alright, Thank you. So, the hands/arms that are clipping w/ my screen, I'd have to configure the animation directly>

?*

[lethal garden]

I havent quite figured how to import the hands into blender yet, but thanks for your guidance.

[lofty parcel]

ok i have found the issue but i have no idea where to begin fixing it: anything that is listed under af_base_absorbation (all immunities) is completely unaffected by the variationizer.script but everything outside of it (stamina, radiation, bleeding, satiety) is correctly affected. i guess the question now is is it even possible to change these values with this .script or does it need a .ltx patch

[summer stream]

So, I tried my best to understand what the fuck is wrong with UV tile on one of the models I've got.

Trying to load it into Substance Painter WITHOUT removing this exact part is impossible. Yet when I remove it, UV is broken which doesnt let me do anything related to it, like export.
What should I do?

[dawn token]

I wanna make certain weapons fit in pistol slots + be onehanded (like bm16 shotguns), how would I do this for weapons myself? there are certain weapons not included in existing mods i want to be able to onehand

[drifting moat]

"Be one handed". You mean fit in pistol/melee slot or be able to have a detector out while equipped?

[dawn token]

fit in the pistol/melee slot is what i want most definitely
detector is a plus but it's not what i need specifically

[drifting moat]

Detector is engine limitation

[drifting moat]

They're most likely packed in .db files. You have to unpack them to take a look at them and you need to override their .ltx file if you want to change them. I never done .ltx override, so can't help with that.

[dawn token]

bleh

[drifting moat]

Thought it's gonna be easy, did you?

[dawn token]

no lol i just wanna know how to do it

[drifting moat]

[dawn token]

little me who has been up for 18 hours at this point cannot properly process this information without sleep

i will be back

and try my best to not cause a crash

[drifting moat]

Good luck!

[drifting moat]

Crashes are fine. During development of a mod.

[drifting moat]

DLTX won't actually change the file. When the file is read by the engine it is "caught" and changes are injected inside it before passing it to the engine.

Just like DXML

[dawn token]

yeah that's what I got from it

it's like putting better ammo in a gun
the gun shoots better
but the gun didn't change
only the bullets

[drifting moat]

More like when someone tries to reload a gun you jank the magazine out of their hands right before they put it in the gun, then you repack the magazine with some of your custom bullets and then loading in the magazine.

[dawn token]

my savefile soon :

💥

[drifting moat]

I think you'll be fine. Expect to fck up stuff tho. I don't think you could majorly fck up your saves with DLTX, but it's worth to create a backup and a new MO2 profile for modding.

[dawn token]

specifically just wanna make the raptr shotgun unique by letting it be onehanded (it is logical that a center-weighted mag-fed shotgun could feasibly be held with one hand)

[drifting moat]

I don't think the character will actually hold it in 1 hand tho

[dawn token]

i know

i just wanna fit it in my third slot for convenience

[ashen hatch]

I am pretty sure it works, I tried it with a few sniper rifles. Looks goofy af tho

[wheat sedge]

quick question, if i have two materials on a single mesh, will it still load correctly in game?

along with two seperate dds textures

[drifting moat]

Does anyone know of a method to completely turn off inventory sorting programatically?

[drifting moat]

Wait. Is that just a mod? By default anomaly does 0 sorting to your inventory?

[celest forge]

Anomaly does sort your inventory by category automatically

[random fulcrum]

anomaly doesn't sort inventory in vanilla

it's another case of a qol mod writing itself as default behavior in people's mind

shoutouts to ravenascendant

and simpleflips

[celest forge]

Doesn't the inventory gets sorted into like

guns, then armor, then ammo, then so and so

Isn't that sorting

[random fulcrum]

it's one hell of a stretch to call it sorting but i guess in the strictest sense of the word yes, vanilla anomaly does sort

[celest forge]

Fuck you then

[undone spruce]

I dont quite understand whats happening, if you delete part of a mesh linking vertexes around it, it may cause the map to arrange itself in weird ways

[summer stream]

I fixed it.

Separated mesh from others.

Looks good.

[native tree]

is there a way to incrase stash chance 10% for unmarked stashes

[lethal garden]

Banjajis CSI isnt compatible with Hideout Furnitures

Artefact & Furniture tabs are missing from craft menu

[lethal garden]

grok_bo_ammo_icons

Anyone know what LTX is assigning the icon_textures of this DDS file to Ammo? Checking Artigroks Special Ammo & Ballistics, the Ammo ltxs dont contain the icon textures

[fathom wagon]

Cuz you need to make a patch for it to be compatible with GAMMA

[fathom wagon]

We changed the ammo icons b/c the old ones were outdated (bullet effects were changed for most of them) and needed a makeover. We moved a lot of stuff around. Unfortunately, you'll have to figure this one out on your own.

[lethal garden]

Thank you

[sudden inlet]

What's "unmarked stash"? There definitely is a way, question is "how difficult it is"

[drifting moat]

The ones that are not yet "given to you" by completing quests. So basically all the empty stashes that are candidates to be filled by a white or yellow stash

[sudden inlet]

Oooh, like you open a random presumable empty stash and it suddenly being filled items?

[drifting moat]

I guess that's what he was aiming for

[ebon ginkgo]

If I'm wanting to adjust the offset for the hud icons (the one for status effects), is it alticons.script I need to edit?

[dawn token]

joke mod idea : DNR (do not resuscitate), certain NPCs will have DNR contracts (they tell you)
if you revive them from an injured state with a medkit, a random highly equipped military/isg/uss squad will come after you for violating the law (the npc will NOT be recruitable, but he will not be hostile to you because he has just recently recovered from an injured state, being in no condition to actually kill you)

[random fulcrum]

that's honestly a great idea

i love gimmicks like that

this might get me back into anomaly

[sudden inlet]

Damn, these are very dedicated guys apparently

completely different fork of Anomaly, not even compatible with vanilla as it is

[sudden inlet]

Yea, you right, but it still just impressive
