Well, something with a 3dss scope is still loading

Maybe you left another mod enabled?

[ancient zenith]

u mean original 3dss?

[verbal siren]

Either that or one of 3dss weapons in separate mods.

[ancient zenith]

maybe this the problem?

[verbal siren]

No, only the OGF is the problem.

[ancient zenith]

okay

i guess i fix the problem with crashes, but in sv98 mod i have blue textures and in vssk mod a lot of icons just died

i can try it, but only in 4 hours, cas i need to go

and i dont sure, that its fix the problem with icons

[summer stream]

DX8 doesnt have 3DSS and for it you need !dx8
Plus you need to rewrite some stuff

[ancient zenith]

im already on this profile

[ancient zenith]

I tried to transfer the vssk modding from there as a separate mod, as well as the sv98 model.

[verbal siren]

The dx8 icon texture size needs to be a power of 2, so 256x256, 512x512 and so on. Maybe that's the problem.

And no mipmaps

[celest forge]

Anyone knows of a gun mod that adds whatever gun it adds to the starting loadouts?

Wanna reverse engineer it to add that to mine

[misty mulch]

udp-9 uses dltx to add the gun into merc and unisg starting loadout

[celest forge]

Thx bb

[misty mulch]

gamedata/configs/items/settings/mod_new_game_loadouts_udp9.ltx

fair warning, for whatever reason, i've tried making my own new game loadout "add a weapon" DLTX and it doesn't work, no idea why

[celest forge]

skill issue perhaps?????????????????????

[misty mulch]

[celest forge]

Worked for me

[indigo wyvern]

Where is the xml text file that handles trade numbers like RU and other such things- I'm trying to change it to UAH 😭

[misty mulch]

where? in UI, in dialogue, where else

[indigo wyvern]

gimme just a second, its in the trade menu when you interact with traders or with regular stalkers.

[misty mulch]

because the answer is "it's scattered all over the place"

[indigo wyvern]

oh my goodness

[misty mulch]

you're better off doing a find in file in gamedata/config/text for RU or ruble or rouble

[indigo wyvern]

i'll try, ive gotten most of the text in the game, but smaller UI elementsl ike this continue to evade me. i'll do my best

i gotta change these two for instance

[misty mulch]

i ran the find-in-file for you, this is ONLY for vanilla GAMMA. This searched across all .xml files for any word that matched RU, Ruble, ruble, Rouble or rouble. Some of these are false positives (where "RU" is used to mean "Russian language", not "ruble")

for your case, I would start with the ui_st_item_icon_info.xml or ui_st_inventory.xml

[indigo wyvern]

thank you so much!!!

oh my goodness this helps so much

fsdkgdslggds

[stray grove]

is their a mod that gives you every upgrade kit when you disassemble any amour or gun??

[misty mulch]

fyi I am using Notepad++ which can search across multiple files at once. CTRL + F to open the Find menu, and then click Find in File tab, and then check my notes on the image

[indigo wyvern]

i do have notepad++, so this is extra helpful to me

[misty mulch]

note that I am runnign notepad++ through MO2, so that it's loading all the mod files in addition to the default ones (but it's not looking at unpacked game files)

to look at the unpacked game files, so that you know what's in there by default, you'd have to use db_unpacker.bat and point Notepad++ at your _unpacked folder

[indigo wyvern]

okie!

[dapper lynx]

Also a good option, maybe it will help you. Perfectly searches inside files .ltx .xml and other
Everything.exe

[indigo wyvern]

ouh!! wow

i found a few mentions of RU in scripts, but im unsure i want to mess with those. ( id idnt find any mention of RU in the other files other than the ones im not looking for)

[ancient zenith]

mipmaps its the textures with "bump" postscript?

and aslo what is the .thm extension?

[summer stream]

.thm lets the texture USE the bump.

mipmaps is the thing that is basically used for compressing the texture on different levels of textures.

mostly used for surroundings and guns, if they have such thing

you need to remove them so they dont look so goofy on low graphics

[quasi narwhal]

thm are files with instructions to the engine on how it should read/render the texture that the thm belongs to
so for example, if you have a texture called tree_part_01.dds, it will use the tree_part_01.thm file to define material, bump paths and such for that texture

[quasi narwhal]

mipmaps are layers of the same image in different, smaller sizes so that the engine can render the mipmaps instead of the full texture in long distances

this makes so the textures aren't grainy/sharp when far away + saves on perfomance (since you don't need to render a 4k texture when you're 100m away from it)

you've probably seen it in Minecraft before

[ancient zenith]

fuck, i dont have photoshop now on my computer, so i think that i cant remove mipmaps

what i need to convert weapon textures from dx11 to dx8?

[summer stream]

use paint.net(not the built in) and gimp

[ancient zenith]

oh, wait, i just realise that i dont need to remove mipmaps, i can just remove icons

[ancient zenith]

yep, its works))

now the only one question is how to convert textures from dx11 to dx8

to fix blue textures

[summer stream]

@ancient zenith for it

[ancient zenith]

oh, sorry forget

[verbal siren]

They are saved as BC7 which is DX11 only. You need to save them as BC3 (DXT5).

[ancient zenith]

what is this program, paintnet?

[verbal siren]

A question about XML. I know you can (and probably should) use DXML, but what would happen if two separate files had different names/descriptions for the same item? I just tried it and the game doesn't crash, so does it just prioritize one xml over the other?

    <string id="st_item_name">
        <text>item name here</text>
    </string>
    <string id="st_st_item_name_descr">
        <text>blah ah blah blah</text>
    </string>

[dapper lynx]

The game won't crash if there's no description at all.
And yes, one of the options will most likely win.

[summer stream]

it rewrites

lower on position = rewrites what's above

[gilded barn]

Hey, I'm having this little problem. I enabled the loot anomaly. There's no crash or anything. However, when I open a loot box, the main HUD disappears, and I have to reload again for it to reappear. I can play without any crashes, but it's annoying not having the HUD visible. Has anyone else experienced this? Or is there a solution?

Video proof attached.

[verbal siren]

Lower in what way? Alphabetically, like in dltx - more zzz's win?

[summer stream]

no.

the priority.

lower priority = rewrites whats on higher

[verbal siren]

Ok, what if the priority is the same (two files in the same mod folder)?

[summer stream]

not possible. they can be in DIFFERENT files with DIFFERENT names but contain the same thing.
anomaly will crash, saying that you need to remove the conflict.

[ancient zenith]

fuuuuuck, i accidentally deleted the vssk model without a scope, can someone please send it to me(((

[verbal siren]

DXML script - can I use more local xml_to_change = with different files within the same function?

function on_xml_read()
    RegisterScriptCallback("on_xml_read", function(xml_file_name, xml_obj)
        -- XML file i want to change
        local xml_to_change = [[text\eng\test1.xml]]
        local xml_to_change = [[text\eng\test2.xml]]
        local xml_to_change = [[text\eng\test3.xml]]

        -- Check if its the file i want to change
        if xml_file_name == xml_to_change then
            -- Here is my code to change XML
        end
    end)
end

[drifting moat]

This will result in test3xml being changed

[verbal siren]

You should have the zip on your disk.

[drifting moat]

All 3 instances will exist in memory until code execution exits scop (the last end), but only the last xml_to_change will be accessible

[verbal siren]

So I should create 3 separate functions in this script? One for every test.xml?

[drifting moat]

Actually none of the xmls will change

[verbal siren]

Why?

[drifting moat]

You should do this instead

local xml_to_change = {}

xml_to_change["text\eng\test1.xml"] = true --do this for all three

if xml_file_to_change[xml_fil_name] then
-- Here's your code to change XML
end

[verbal siren]

I mean I copied the example code from DXML page: https://github.com/themrdemonized/STALKER-Anomaly-modded-exes/blob/main/DXML.md

[drifting moat]

Because when code execution reaches if xml_file_name == xml_to_change the name variable is going to be [[text\eng\test3.xml]] which is non existent

Wait this is a valid declaration then -> local somevar = [[someString]]

Well I'm typing from my phone while talking with someone else

Give me time and I'll hop on my pc

[verbal siren]

ok

[ancient zenith]

in some moment game just start crashing, so i try to rewrite vssk mode, and i wanna ask, how to add the scope to gun. I try to do the same thing, but it dosent work

[verbal siren]

The base mod 268- VSSK Reanimation and Remodel - BarryBogs looks already DX8 compatible. You only have to edit the files from the 3dss mod.

[drifting moat]

function on_xml_read()
    RegisterScriptCallback("on_xml_read", function(xml_file_name, xml_obj)
        -- First you need to declare the variable as a table
        local xml_to_change = {}
        
        --[[
            Then you add your values as key - value pairs.
            This is also called a dictionary or a hash map (depends on language)
            where these are your keys (used for cheap lookup) ->
            text\eng\test1.xml
            text\eng\test2.xml
            text\eng\test3.xml
            
            and these are your values that the keys are associated with.
            true
            true
            true
            
            Keys can be of any type and values can be of any type.
        --]]
        
        xml_to_change["text\\eng\\test1.xml"] = true
        xml_to_change["text\\eng\\test2.xml"] = true
        xml_to_change["text\\eng\\test3.xml"] = true
        
        --[[
            You can search in this dictionary by passing it a key ->
            xml_to_change["text\eng\test2.xml"]. This will give you back the
            value that is stored there so -> true
            
            This is why the below code will work for all 3 values.
        --]]

        -- Check if its the file I want to change
        if xml_to_change[xml_file_name] then
            -- Here is my code to change XML
        end
    end)
end

What you did wrong explained:

function on_xml_read()
    RegisterScriptCallback("on_xml_read", function(xml_file_name, xml_obj)
        --[[
            What you did wrong here is:
            You created the variable xml_to_change 3 times.
            Variables only need to be created once/scope.
            What happens is: In memory you store xml_to_change 3 times, but only
            the last one is accessible therefore it shadows all previous declarations.
        --]]
        local xml_to_change = [[text\eng\test1.xml]]
        local xml_to_change = [[text\eng\test2.xml]]
        local xml_to_change = [[text\eng\test3.xml]]

        -- Check if its the file i want to change
        if xml_file_name == xml_to_change then -- Here xml_to_change will always be equal to string "text\eng\test3.xml"
            -- Here is my code to change XML
        end
    end)
end

[quasi narwhal]

I think you meant to use xml_file_name as the index key on the last if condition

[drifting moat]

Yes, thank you I edited it

[quasi narwhal]

everything else looks good tho

[verbal siren]

Thanks guys

[steady apex]

The reason to use [[ instead of " is in [[ is pure raw string, no need to escape special characters. With file paths it might become a problem, ie you need to escape slashes

[drifting moat]

Ah, that is true and another mistake in the example. Edited once more.

[verbal siren]

One more thing. If I understand correctly, the following example fully rewrites test1.xml with test2.xml content. Is there a way to edit hundreds of strings without calling each one out in the script?

function on_xml_read()
    RegisterScriptCallback("on_xml_read", function(xml_file_name, xml_obj)
        -- XML file i want to change
        local xml_to_change = [[text\eng\test1.xml]]

        -- Check if its the file i want to change
        if xml_file_name == xml_to_change then
            -- Here is my code to change XML
            xml_obj:insertFromXMLFile([[text\eng\test2.xml]])
        end
    end)
end

Because if text2.xml will contain only the edited strings, the others from test1 won't be visible any longer in the game.

[steady apex]

for translation files you don't have to use DXML at all. You can just name your file zz_your_file.xml and put it in the text\eng Any texts duplicate ids will be replaced with yours

[steady apex]

but no, that wont fully rewrite text1.xml. the new xml nodes will be inserted in the end, hence Insert function

[verbal siren]

Ok, so what I want to do is use one new xml file to overwrite parts of more than one older xml files. Will that work?

[steady apex]

Yea, You can just name your file zz_your_file.xml and put it in the text\eng Any texts duplicate ids will be replaced with yours that will work

[verbal siren]

The zz rule from dltx still applies?

[steady apex]

yea

How do i make "No Exos In The South" work with "New Levels"?

[drifting moat]

First you have to check the scripts of No Exos In South mod and learn how it does what it does (it probably uses a map blacklist). If it uses a map blacklist then it's super easy. You just basically add the 3 new maps name to the blacklist and you're all done.

Check the compatibility patches I made for my task blaclkister mods you can find the names of the 3 new maps there.

Hi here ! I'm pretty new for modding, and I want to update a part of a mod. Because GAMMA now doesn't use weapon condition but instead uses parts condition only, I want to degrade the parts of a weapon when I die (barrel and parts too).
I need to modify this to "update" my soulslike mod (my one is "dude, where is my gear ?") and be able to retrieve damaged weapons in my death location.
Is it really difficult ? I know things about coding, but don't know how works coding in Stalker Anomaly. I already managed to do some over things working. But not that one.
Someone would be able to help me a bit please ? I know it's uncomfortable to ask this, so I understand you wouldn't be interested to help a noone guy 🙂

[quasi narwhal]

I'm not entirely sure cause I don't play GAMMA nor with Soulslike on, but I believe you could use the actor_on_before_death callback (https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/scripting/callbacks.html#:~:text=actor_on_before_death) to degrade your equipped weapons
there are many mods to check on how people grab the currently equipped weapon, if you search by equipped in the script files you should find some
Would just need to check how GAMMA handles the current weapons condition and shit, cause I have no clue

[drifting moat]

Actually the actor_on_before_death might not be the right callback. I saw for another "Roguelike" mod that it used tricks for death like the player not actually dying, but getting teleported to the closest safe base, but yeah IDK how these soulslike mods work maybe it lets you die. This needs investigation

And idk if actor_on_before_death is called before you're pronounced dead by the engine or if it's too late to do anything in that callback.

[stuck token]

Thanks for answers !
In fact, I'm modifying directly into the script file, so I use the mod's functions.
"Dude where is my gear" already implemented items degradation, but for weapons it doesn't work because in gamma, weapons' condition is not used anymore.
Here is the code I managed to make : I wrote where I added things

-- if item is in slot get current item:condition() and reduce it randomly between 2% and 20%
if lose_item_condition then

                -- START OF MY MODIF

                    if IsWeapon(item) and not IsGrenade(item) then
                    local parts = item_parts.get_parts_con(item)
                    if parts then
                            for k,v in pairs(parts) do
                                local condition = parts[k]
                                local condition_reduction =
                                    (math.random(min_condition_lose, max_condition_lose) / condition_mod / general_mod) / 100
                                condition = condition - condition_reduction
                                if (condition < 0) then
                                    condition = 1
                                end
                        end
                    item_parts.set_parts_con(item, parts)
            end
                        
        -- END OF MY MODIF


        else
               local condition = item:condition()
                    -- if killed by elemental damage increase condition lose of equipped items
                    local condition_reduction =
                        (math.random(min_condition_lose, max_condition_lose) / condition_mod / general_mod) / 100
                    condition = condition - condition_reduction
                    if (condition < 0) then
                        condition = 0
                    end
                    item:set_condition(condition)
                end
            end

It seems the code doesn't crash, but the game crashes with this message, I can't explain why (and what is crashing)
Here's the message :

I think it's the place to do that kinda logic, to that's what I'm afraid of -- Soulslike not calling that and handling death in a completely different way

which is probably what happens

[drifting moat]

If you do this -> ```lua PASTE STUFF HERE``` it'll appear in the format below. Much nicer

Any idea of what my fatal error message means ?

[quasi narwhal]

i'm gonna guess condition = parts[k] is grabbing an userdata instead of a number as you're expecting
i can't remember if item:condition() returns a flat ahh number but I guess so

look at the line numbers and follow them on the stack trace log

1 : [Lua] c:/anomaly\gamedata\scripts_g.script(2062) : alife_object

[stuck token]

Will have a look ! I think I also forgot something : I have to add "not IsMelee(item)" to be sure that melee weapons are not treated because they have no parts

Which program should I use to edit lua files ? I now use "notepad", it's not really convenient 🙂

[quasi narwhal]

it really depends, if you're looking for something simple people use Notepad++ here all the time

if you want something more sophisticated/robust/useless whatever you wanna call it, you can follow this: #╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

[rough lion]

I guess this would work

[misty mulch]

i actually made the "how to format code in Discord" a command at Raven's request, it's !lua

[stuck token]

The thing is : I don't find this file at all... It doesn't exist !

[lilac idol]

have you unpacked your anomaly

[stuck token]

I already play anomaly 🙂

with gamma

[lilac idol]

if you have unpacked it it should be there

[drifting moat]

Unpacking is not something that happens when you install anomaly

You have to do it manually

[stuck token]

Also, I think you should have a look in the section I had in the code, marked with "start of my modif" and "end of my modif", because the mod wasn't crashing before

[stuck token]

Oh, ok. And is it safe to do ? And how ?

I mean: can I play after I unpack it manually ?

[drifting moat]

Of course. It wont modify your files. It'll create "new" ones that you can actually open and read

I don't exactly know enough to explain to you well.

There are .db files. These contain many .script files. The unpacker in simple terms copies these .script files from inside the .db files and puts them in a folder for you so you can view them one by one.

Now this is an oversimplified explanation, but should get the point accross

[rough lion]

Is there any advantage of packing your modpack into a .db file?

like faster loading?

[drifting moat]

Idk. You probably shouldn't be worried about it.

[quasi narwhal]

yeah, faster loading times is one

it's obv smaller in file size too

the thing is that MO2 fucks up the .db load order, it loads all db files first, then all the other mods

which means separate files in mods folders will always overwrite db files no matter what

it's like it follows 2 different priorities

the amount of times i had to unpack db files to fix their priority order is not even funny 😭

[drifting moat]

Probably. It's weird that it's called a whitelist and that for Northern maps it returns 1. I would've expected the complete opposite -> Blacklist and returning 0 for northern maps, but yeah if you found the right code then that will work for sure.

[misty mulch]

it's not so much that "mo2 fucks up db load order", it's that in Anomaly, loose files in gamedata always have priority

so if any mod has its files non-compressed, they just always take priority over any compressed .db file contents.

you'd have the same thing happen if you didn't use mo2 and just dumped shit in the gamedata folder

[quasi narwhal]

try this: item_parts.get_parts_con(item, nil, true)

should at least fix your crash

[undone spruce]

https://tenor.com/view/chalino-sanchez-xd-gif-23281663

[quasi narwhal]

wait you wanted the name of the font from the attachments right

bro i swear there was a convo about that shit a few months ago let me see

well i found this #╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

Pixelmix is good enough, but everyone copies the pixels

the closest in-game is the small/GetFontSmall(), used in a few places too

[undone spruce]

Yeah it's what i think i'll end up doing

[fair canopy]

Just copy paste the letters off the sheet and clean them up if necessary

[stuck token]

Unfortunately, didn't fix my crash... 😦

First, nothing is wrong in my code, isn't it ?

[drifting moat]

Your code is causing _g.script to crash

*Inputs from your code eventually crash stuff inside _g.script

[quasi narwhal]

yeah, in either one of the item_parts calls

since those mess around with the alife_object

[stuck token]

and someone has a _g.script file to share me ? Because I don't know how to get it

[quasi narwhal]

also, is your game crashing on start up? when you die? equip a weapon?

[stuck token]

please 🙂

[stuck token]

The game crash when I die, the soulslike mod launches a function and my code is inside

[quasi narwhal]

https://github.com/Tosox/STALKER-Anomaly-gamedata/blob/v1.5.2/gamedata/scripts/_g.script
didn't change much to 1.5.3 on what you're trying to do

[drifting moat]

You have _g.script. If you haven't unpackd your anomaly files it's in the .db files

otherwise tools\_unpacked\scripts

Btw this makes little sense:

for k,v in pairs(parts) do -- You're iterating the parts table: k = part name, v = part condition (20 for example not 0.2)
  local condition = parts[k] -- v already stores weapon condition.

end

do this instead

for part_name, condition in pairs(parts) do -- You're iterating the parts table: k = part name, v = part condition (20 for example not 0.2)
  --Random code

end

[stuck token]

Could it be the function "item_parts.set_parts_con(item, parts)" that crashes something ? Jabbers tried to fix its own soulslike mod, I playtested his beta version and I got the same error

[drifting moat]

Idk. If I would have access to anomaly files (I don't have them on this laptop) I would see what's in _g.script line 2062. Whatever that function is it's called with wrong arguments. That's causing your crash.

[stuck token]

In line 2062, it is :

function alife_object(id)
    if (id == nil or id >= 65535) then
        callstack()
        printe("!ALIFE OBJECT ID IS %s!",id)
        return
    end
    return alife():object(id)
end```

[quasi narwhal]

yeah the thing is the id == nil or id >= 65535
I'm guessing this function is receiving an instance of userdata instead of a numeric ID or nil

[stuck token]

Is it possible that I copy/paste all the function that the mod uses, if you can have a look ? Or is it too much ?

(I mean, the function used when crash occurs, not all the script)

[drifting moat]

It's unnecessary since the codeblock you provided has the error.

[quasi narwhal]

well I'm gonna guess the problem is item_parts.set_parts_con(item, parts)
if you take a look at your code, you're just calculating the condition and not doing anything with it

then re-saving the parts field, probably in the wrong/unexpected format

you can search that yourself in the repository I linked above, its got all the unpacked script files

just search by the name of the functions you're using and see what they do, hop around some files and figure it out

what I highly recommend is just taking a look at mods inside GAMMA that have that exact same behavior: reducing weapons conditions

then kinda copy & paste to yours

[stuck token]

Hmm, and which mods would affect weapons degradation ? Have you got an idea ?

[stuck token]

I found that in the anomaly code :

function set_parts_con(id, data)
    se_save_var( id, nil, "parts", data )
end

[quasi narwhal]

idk I don't play GAMMA

[drifting moat]

There's your problem then!

You call set_parts_con(item, parts)

[quasi narwhal]

you're sending the whole item

has to be item:id()

[drifting moat]

You should instead call like this set_parts_con(item:id(), parts)

Well this was some weird ass pair programming

[stuck token]

Oh nice ! I'm trying right now

[quasi narwhal]

bro i'm in a meeting debugging our production app while helping this mf with more code

I should pipnik myself

[drifting moat]

I'm mocking an API for a customer

[stuck token]

Thanks a lot for your help, I hope it will work and I won't get any more questions 🙂

[stuck token]

So everything work without problem, except...

The parts are not damaged !

[drifting moat]

Drop the /100 in the condition calculation and also the if (condition < 0 then condition =1 end

[stuck token]

Oh, also I think the thing is that I need to add something that gives the new value to parts[k], isn't it ?

[drifting moat]

That is already done by
condition = blabla

Oh actually you're right

You need to do this in the loop too
parts[part_name] = condition

[stuck token]

I'm trying :

for k, v in pairs(parts) do
                                    local condition_reduction =
                                        (math.random(min_condition_lose, max_condition_lose) / condition_mod / general_mod)
                                    parts[k] = parts[k] - condition_reduction
                                end
                                item_parts.set_parts_con(item:id(), parts)

Also, I guess this code is not going to damage the barrel, isn't it ?

[drifting moat]

Why not?

[stuck token]

I thought the barrel was considered differently, but in fact, no 🙂
It worked perfectly ! Thanks again !!

[quasi narwhal]

[sinful pawn]

so im just lookin to see if its possible but

i have my own armor mod i made meant for kvma's, armor spawns in, can equip it fine, 3rd person visuals are fine, i can spawn it on the correct rank (master and legend) npcs of certain factions but the only thing i can't figure out is how to get said armor to spawn in a dead npcs inventory (since its a completely new armor and not a reskin of the originals) i've either assumed that its not possible to do because it takes replacing one of the armors from stalker to do so or that its just a pain in the ass to figure out

[misty mulch]

DLTX. The config for assigning potential armor drops to NPC visual models is death_outfits.ltx (read it to get the syntax). The root file is death_generic.ltx, so your DLTX file needs to be gamedata/configs/items/settings/mod_death_generic_myDLTXnamegoeshere.ltx

note that you are adding/removing comma-separated values, full DLTX syntax for that is in the modding guide (also in the pins of this channel)

[sinful pawn]

thank you very much

[sinful pawn]

when it comes to for example if you have two seperate versions of the suit, when doing the mod_death_generic ltx, do they need to be two seperate ltx's with the model version within them or can it be apart of the same one

[misty mulch]

what do you mean by two separate versions of the suit? do you mean:

1. You have two outfits, and you want both to be possible drops from the same NPC visual model?
2. You have two NPC visual models, and you want both to drop the same outfit?
   As far as I know, 1 is impossible, 2 is possible

[sinful pawn]

two suits, two visual models

i had a feeling that was the case

[misty mulch]

each visual model can drop one suit and up to one helmet, that's it

[sinful pawn]

hrmm okays

[hearty rover]

Hello, is there an addon that will add a new cartridge .338 fmg, if there is, please give the name

[hasty summit]

Can someone teach me how to retexture? I just wanna retexture KVMA HD Realism's Mercs to be like the Ethan Royalty short film 'Shadow of the Zone'
Grey shirts, black/multicam black vest, navy pants, black helmet covers while retaining the Merc patch

[covert topaz]

Is it possible to make the loading screen images bigger so they occupy all the screen?

[summer stream]

@regal bolt #🤖bot-commands

[regal bolt]

ok but can you tell me where the "alternative icons" is located

[summer stream]

!mo2search

[verbal siren]

AFAIK they are DDS textures, so yeah, you can have whatever you want on them, frames or no frames.

Same goes for the loading bar.

[drifting moat]

Is the _g.script monkey patchable? I tried to patch IsAmmo with no success.

Tried referencing it both ways:

• IsAmmo
• _g.IsAmmo

Checked examples and also my other mods where I patched something, but got no useful information.

[covert topaz]

So can i change the loading bar to something that is not a bar?

[verbal siren]

I've seen mods that changed the look of the bar and its size. Not sure about making it something else.

[covert topaz]

It's there a config or something for the loading screen?

[bronze apex]

are scopes and upgrade kits defined differently? the versek smg doesn't allow you to take off the red dot like it's a kit

[quasi narwhal]

try _G

as in like

local og_printf  = _G.printf
function _G.printf(...)
  -- ...
end

[drifting moat]

Will do later. Thx!

[summer stream]

Question, how do i fix the bump problem?
Since applying bump to this model literally makes it oily asf.

Without a bump, it looks much better.

Now the question is, what do i do to bump so it doesnt look so goofy?

[celest forge]

Maybe in the THM you put the metallic shader instead of the normal one

The "metallic" one just looks like super glossy plastic or "oilly" as you described

[summer stream]

it's a default one

[celest forge]

Could also be a bad bump that's ALL bright

[summer stream]

do i just show it to you

[summer stream]

the phong one to be exact

anyways the bumps are like this
yes very fucking bright

green channel :

red channel :

and this is how it looks like

the question is :

what is wrong with the bump

turned the red channel to absolute minimum
looks better

[celest forge]

This shouldn't be so bright in game

yellow = bright
green = dark

The yellower the bump the "brighter" it will be in game

[summer stream]

here is the thm file for it :

[celest forge]

Hmmm

Strange

[summer stream]

this :

OH and also

original model had problem with shadows

let me show

the problem is this

viewport shows the gun VERY dark

oh

oh i see it

dang.

it could be the SHADING problem that it used

after the recalculating :

it looks better

so idk what it could be problem of

i can just send off the gun so u can take a look

[celest forge]

Oh the normals were all fucked up?

[summer stream]

yes

this is cod gun

what do you wait

and it was a different model

the one i got has normal normals (in-game)

[undone spruce]

btw ive never got the omf editor and axrtoolset viewports to work

Neither objeditor

[summer stream]

[celest forge]

I mean i've worked with a couple of CoD assets and the normals weren't like that

Probably a bad rip process that inverted the normals somehow

[summer stream]

i wonder how

all of the problem is basically in bump

i need to fix it

[celest forge]

Simply an issue of skill

[summer stream]

true

[bronze apex]

looks like kilo?

[summer stream]

it is a kilo

yet i call it by the name

[verbal siren]

This controls if you can remove the scope (any optic). Kits are essentially scopes.

[fair canopy]

Protip, scope status should only be set for scopes, not red dots

[bronze apex]

[verbal siren]

Someone who made the Veresk config put scope_status = 0 in the base weapon section and the next two sections (red dot and kit) didn't change it. That's why once you put an optic on it, it stays for good.

[bronze apex]

how do i make the red dot removable from the versek because it's definitely not supposed to be unremovable

[verbal siren]

IMO even the kit should be removable.

[fair canopy]

What

[bronze apex]

idk about that one since it's changing the gun significantly

[verbal siren]

Edit the sr2 configs and remove the scope_status = 0 line

Or make a dltx mod

[bronze apex]

well i made it 2

I'll remove the line now

[fair canopy]

Scope status 2 means the scope is integrated and also scope status 1

But you don't need to use 2 ever because parent section takes care of that

Making kits act like scopes is the easiest way to make kit guns but it has its own problem

[verbal siren]

Did it work?

[bronze apex]

i have yet to try it because I'm doing invictus

I'm almost at base

[bronze apex]

no it crashes the game

can't find variable scope_status

[verbal siren]

Hmm, so Athis pro tip didn't work ig.

[fair canopy]

Why did you remove it?

Change it to 0 or 1

[verbal siren]

I told him to after you wrote: "Protip, scope status should only be set for scopes, not red dots". I guess I misunderstood.

[fair canopy]

Scope status only needs to be defined once in the parent section. You never have to redefine it unless you need to set it to 1 in a specific section

[verbal siren]

We have this:

[wpn_sr2_veresk]
scopes = kp_sr2, sr2_upkit
scope_status = 0

[wpn_sr2_veresk_kp_sr2]:wpn_sr2_veresk

[wpn_sr2_veresk_sr2_upkit]:wpn_sr2_veresk
scopes = none

So it makes sense that sr2_upkit makes the gun incompatible with scopes, but why can't kp_sr2 be removed? It can be swapped for another optic or kit, but not removed. I looked at other guns' configs and they do it the same way, but on those other guns you can remove the optics to go back to iron sights.

What am I missing here?

[bronze apex]

i did
removing the line = crash
1= can't remove the sight
2= crash
i might have mixed 1 and 2 but either way all 3 don't fix the problem

[fair canopy]

It should be defined by the original veresk

[bronze apex]

there's only one instance of scope_status

[verbal siren]

The wpn_sr2_veresk points back at itself with this:
parent_section = wpn_sr2_veresk

[bronze apex]

it's in the original one

[fair canopy]

It should

[bronze apex]

what's the scope_name variable for?

[fair canopy]

old scope system

[fair canopy]

possibly because the kp kit isnt actually defined as a scope

[verbal siren]

In the attachments configs?

[fair canopy]

yeah but i just took a look and it is

[bronze apex]

when i put scope_status to 1 i can't put the scope or kit on
when i tried 2 this happens which is why i was asking about scope_name

[fair canopy]

set everything to default cause i have no idea what youve already done

[bronze apex]

just made a mod with the versek file in it and changed scope_status

my install isn't bricked or anything

it's just this versek can't remove the scope for some reason

[fair canopy]

whic ltx are you using as the base?

[bronze apex]

w_sr2_veresk

[fair canopy]

from which mod

[bronze apex]

i seached in mo2 files and the one that poped up is from GAMMA Weapon pack

[verbal siren]

wpn_sr2_m1 can't remove optics kp_sr2 optic as well. Other optics can be detached. (edited after checking again)

[bronze apex]

[fair canopy]

yup so its what i thought originally

the kp isnt set as a scope so it cant be detached

seems like it might have been nuked by grok for some reason when he removed the rest of the kits from the scope list

make a dltx and do

![addons_table] kp_sr2 = scope

[bronze apex]

i have no idea what i'm doing lol

which file?

[verbal siren]

Funny thing is I have that already in gamedata\configs\items\weapons\weapon_addons.ltx
How did he remove it from there?

[fair canopy]

It's being overwritten by a gamma mod

[verbal siren]

I looked through every ![addons_table] and there is no sign of kp_sr2

[fair canopy]

He modified it directly

[verbal siren]

WDYM? How?

Script?

[fair canopy]

Dude with a direct ltx override

[verbal siren]

BTW, the dltx thing didn't work either.

[fair canopy]

You did it wrong then. Look at how i did dltx addons for 3dss

[verbal siren]

Sorry, I was blind. GAMMA weapon pack has it removed entirely from the list. I was looking at the one in large files.

[verbal siren]

Put it in the configs folder.

[bronze apex]

works like a charm! thank you!

[verbal siren]

Thank Athi

[fair canopy]

funny enough i made a mod that fixed this for the kits a few years ago

[summer stream]

i see this in a bump
i kill myself

[celest forge]

Oh right

[vapid raven]

guys

ive never made a mod before

can someone help me replace music of a mod

[summer stream]

DITHER COLOR WAS THE PROBLEM

[summer stream]

now we know why i was a dumbass

[vapid raven]

ive tried to replace the sound

but it just never works

or can someone jus help me make a mod instead of replacing files

if they have spare time

[uncut stirrup]

Would adding new playable factions from stalker 2 be something possible or that would want to be done or not really ?

[vapid raven]

in a perfect word wed get responses

[uncut stirrup]

Yeah indeed would be great Lmao

[celest forge]

Do you know of any mods that add playable factions to anomaly

[vapid raven]

you are modder right

can yu help me replace a sound mod

or make one

[undone spruce]

basically, its making a sound somehow, converting to ogg with 44.1khz and mono (https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/main-folders-and-files/file-formats/index.html?highlight=ogg#ogg) and changing the .ltx file from the mod to actually play the audio that you created

[vapid raven]

what if the original mod doesnt even play audio

[undone spruce]

using SAVandT is good for making some effects works

[vapid raven]

none of that makes sense

[undone spruce]

thats xray engine modding in a sheel

if the mod doesnt play audio either the mod author didnt bother making audio or smth messed up on the ltx audio scripting

[vapid raven]

ok the mod plays audio now

idk what made it work

bro @undone spruce

what the hell is all this

[undone spruce]

thats just explaining how the ogg audio files works with the game

[vapid raven]

wow

this is fucked

why cant i just replace the audio file

wtf

this is way too complex unless i have someone walk me through

[celest forge]

Why are looking about omf files for an audio mod

[undone spruce]

the ogg sector is just above the omf ones

Setting up the dev2 branch of GAMMA seems to be just checking out out that branch instead of what's by default in GAMMA/.Grok's Modpack Installer. Am I missing smth?

[drifting moat]

Given an object id how do I get the inventory id that the object is in?

[drifting moat]

By calling parent() passing the object as parameter. This will return the parent object.

[drifting moat]

Thanks bro!

[quasi narwhal]

pov ur the healthiest modder in the entire stalker community

[cosmic beacon]

bond is having a stronk, call the bondulance

[misty mulch]

yeah, "don't use dev2 on your own if you're not a tester"

[cosmic beacon]

looking at making a few pull requests, cheers

got it working, guess now it's just figuring out the overall file structure and how to GAMMA-ify a manual addition or patch

[misty mulch]

it depends on what you're adding, i have made several prs that are basically just dltx additions or modifications

[cosmic beacon]

mostly looking at minor additions tbf. Things I add for myself anyways that seem in line with what GAMMA is going for. Think something like G_FLAT's mods. Fixes for existing stuff like being able to sleep in beds you construct. Figured I'd put in the little extra effort and contribute them instead

this is under the assumption the main bottleneck of Grok and other contributors is time and this is of any help, ofc. There's not much in terms of contributor guidelines, it seems

[misty mulch]

there's 0

genuinely the easiest and fastest way that will ALSO actually get you feedback is to release the mod as a standalone in #1035807043933720576

especially if the changes you want to make are to a mod that is not actually hosted in the gamma github/not made by grok, such as any of the hideout furnitures mods

[cosmic beacon]

hmm, fair. For patches I'l go that route. Is there any point in making a PR for someone else's mod, then? For example, if I want to see Geiger Clicks Rework by G_FLAT in GAMMA, is it helpful contributing just that?

[misty mulch]

none at all

don't pr someone else's mod into gamma especially if you're not its author

[cosmic beacon]

aight, cheers

as an aside, stuff like this would be helpful in the repo readme, lol

[misty mulch]

if you want a mod to be included by default in gamma, that's for #1092834455300866068 although you're as likely as not to get absolutely roasted by fucking everyone

fyi "don't PR someone else's mod into a modpack that isn't yours" isn't like. a "gamma specific" guideline, that's just basic modding etiquette

[cosmic beacon]

yeah... also not convinced that's actually all that great if the main bottleneck there is Grok's own schedule and priorities anyways. Adding noise to the pile, it feels like

[misty mulch]

that is 100% the bottleneck, yes

[cosmic beacon]

I realize, permission and licenses are a rabbithole either way

hello im very new to modding how can i make a new upgrade to an armor or weapon?

i want to modify this mod https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1325401306252447785

and allow armors that dont have access to a plate attachment to be upgraded so they can have one

[spare nest]

priviet stalkers ! I'm doing some custom repositioning using draggable uhd editor and wanted to as if there is way to change the positioning while crouched separately. Is it one of the values here or do I do something more specific ?

[celest forge]

There's no separate "crouch" position

Thats just handled by the engine's inertia

[west light]

ссылку плиз

[spare nest]

ok in that case, can I tweak the inertia expanded mod to get the result i want. Which is that the rposition i do brings the gun closer to the center. When I crouch it lowers it and brings it more to the left. And I wanted to have it where is originaly was in that state. Is there a mod in the list that i can change values to do that ?

[drifting moat]

AFAIK you can use scripting to do stuff like: Play different reload animation depending on number of bullets in mag etc.

You can achieve what you want, but you need to script it.

_g.script Has mcCrouch state so I think you could theoritically set a different gun position for your gun while crouched.

actor_move_states = {
    ['mcFwd']             = 1,
    ['mcBack']             = 2,
    ['mcLStrafe']         = 4,
    ['mcRStrafe']        = 8,
    ['mcCrouch']         = 16,

Hmmmm.. I see. Ok thank you for the info. It looks a bit advanced for me. I haven't coded anything since high school's kinda basic stuff. I'll check it out another time and come back if I have any questions. Was looking for a more quick solution. This way i'll surely manage to mess up my game somehow 😛 . Thanks a lot tough.

btw did the _G monkey patch work?

Ah I'm knee deep in some big big refactoring of another mod so didn't check.

[main plover]

Figured out I don't need that I will just strip main confing from variable stuff and add variable stuff to small extra configs but it will be useful in future

As long as xml is "og_file_myname.xml" mod will grab it as extension to og xml

It was long time that I was fiddling with any scripting/coding

Is it normal my fort-12 only zooms in when i click to ADS?

[slow bolt]

not all

Can reload some

Debug menu -> Reload LTX

[main plover]

those are xml-s :/

or config

whatever its called

but it wont reload all. Not even close

XMLs don't reload with the F7 > F5 thing

In anomaly they do for some reason

At least the ones that are in pairs. I'm talking about the _16.xml

[verbal siren]

About weapon HUD positions - do the 4:3 and 16:9 coordinates have to be the same? I'm asking because w_aug.ltx in the GAMMA Weapon Pack has it like this:

[wpn_aug_freedom_hud]:wpn_aug_hud
aim_hud_offset_pos                       = -0.054856, -0.0029339, 0.044569
aim_hud_offset_pos_16x9                  = -0.059591, 0.042762, -0.079139

Very different numbers. I know 4:3 users are few and far between, but one of them showed me a screenshot of wpn_aug_freedom (https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/928715640968212582/1355461117874536500/39.png?ex=67e90309&is=67e7b189&hm=b9ecbab26d025bc3f1fe85fe1e705db273339240f073d8c5e83eb2ad86a1b4c0&) proving the non-16x9 coordinates are wrong. He says a lot of guns are like that.

[summer stream]

They are NOT supposed to be the same.

Since 4:3 is different type of resolution, that uses different kind of position.

Same to 16:9.

Тут проблемы нету.

Просто ты пойми

4:3 - Квадрат
16:9 - Прямоугольник

И вот там другие координаты нужны

Всё

[fair canopy]

Sucks to be 4:3

[verbal siren]

So we can assume most if not all 4:3 coords are wrong in GAMMA.

[summer stream]

yes.

it's all made for 16:9.

[verbal siren]

But nobody catched that for obvious reasons

[fair canopy]

Looks like it

[celest forge]

Sucks for the 3 people playing 4:3

[verbal siren]

But hey, I just switched to a 4:3 resolution and applied the coordinates from 16:9. Guess what - it works, the gun is positioned correctly.

So I guess they ARE supposed to be the same.

Is there a way to tell the game to use 16:9 on 4:3 without making a ton of repositions?

[verbal siren]

@fresh sleet
Use MO2 file search (right panel). The configs have names like w_name

[fresh sleet]

whats this check box ?

[verbal siren]

Nothing that'll help you

It saves 4:3 and 16:9 coords as the same during HUD reposition.

[covert topaz]

where can i find these icons for armor and weapons?

[verbal siren]

gamedata\textures\ui
filenames start with ui_actor_upgrades

[fresh sleet]

you know, I feel a little guilty for your spent time , cause Im already too tired to think straight , and its easier for me to wait for a 16:9 monitor , then braking my brain , on how to not make mistakes while copying all this crap . and asking you even more dumb questions. And this no 3dss issue with the rest of augs is also kind of disappointing. So I guess it sucks that nobody cared to adjust weapons for 4:3 and even more sucks to be aa owner of 4:3.

Is there a way to set MCM option value via script? I want a checkbox that when: Set to true and saved it runs some logic and then resets itself to false (or default).

[regal bolt]

DAO has something like that for deleting dynamic anomalies, can check how it's done there I suppose.

[drifting moat]

Yep. That worked. Thanks.

Here's how to do it if anyone is interested:

function on_mcm_load()
    op = { 
      id = "coolMod",
      sh = true,
      gr =
        {
          { id = "toggleThatResets",  type = "check", val = 1, def = false},
        }
      }
    return op
  end

-- This only triggers if a save is loaded obviously.
local function on_option_change()
    if ui_mcm then
        ui_mcm.set("coolMod/toggleThatResets", false)
    end
end

RegisterScriptCallback("on_option_change", on_option_change)

Also is Zone FM a mix? And what are the announcements or “commercials” saying in between songs in addition to how many songs are there on the station? I’m traveling atm so I can’t check, if anyone knows off hand. Appreciated

[quasi narwhal]

you can try catch ur code to avoid crashing to desktop, helps a lot when debugging

iirc it was the Ledge Grabbing or some other mod from Demonized that had a try function as an example

I think it was a pcall wrapper or some shit like that

[drifting moat]

Yes it is. I've used it previously

But yeah it might be a good idea to avoid crashing to desktop

Game loads fast, but when you write 100+ lines of code and when testing it CTD 3 times in a row that's not so fun

Hello
I have been developing a mode that changes artefacts spawn accross locations. I have faced some troubles

Screen 1 and 2 - I took Grok's G.A.M.M.A. Artefacts Reinvention\gamedata\configs\items\settings\artefacts.ltx and copied it. In the copy I removed his artefacts groups and made my groups. I Place my mode at the bottom of the mod list so I hope I rewrite his file

Screen 3 - I use the new groups in settings of anomaly zones across all locations. Again - full copy of Grok's files

Screen 4 - Full copy of G.A.M.M.A. Artefacts Reinvention\gamedata\scripts\drx_da_main_artefacts.script
I added only three artefacts on this location and...

Screen 5 - result. The mod spawns only 1 type of artefact everywhere except the anomaly in the center
If I remove compass - the situation will be the same but I will get heart everywhere

Wanted behaviour - 3 types of artefacts (volad, compass, heart of oasis) in all anomaly zones on generators

Could u help me? What do i wrong? Maybe missed something, idk

Any blender wizards can help how can I rid off those bumps from the flat model?
I know it's because I didn't set bump map properly

But I can't even see bump map anywhere to be set

[undone spruce]

this looks like mesh shading rather than texture

try to see it in shade flat on object mode

[main plover]

when I turned off auto smooth it disappeard

[summer stream]

i think you need to do this

just so it can look normal

let me just show :

here you have a model with sharp edges :

without the sharp edges :

with them :

basically it just makes some of the edges sharpened and not smooth, which makes the model look normal

[main plover]

Alright I tought removing those will remove bug that I have in game 😦
not clipping on bottom but this weird inverted parts

I understand now what we see on the picture is behind of patch I had this issue before when I was creating model "partly" from scratch

In blender it looks right as it should

And someone told me it was something about normal maps

[main plover]

this one was helpful anyway I had some sharp edges

[summer stream]

check this out

it should be blue on both sides

[main plover]

It's red I guess it's not good

[summer stream]

yup

alright so what you do is

select the model

press ALT + N

you flip it

and it becomes blue(red for me)

[main plover]

Oooh

[summer stream]

select only the red part

i had a lot of trouble with mw assets so i learned it the hard way

with that you should check the model INSIDE of viewport

since sometimes it can end up this

you can recalculate the normals

so it can look normal

[main plover]

Great a little bit of red merging didn't work out tho

But for this model it work fine thx a lot for help \

[summer stream]

oh yeah that part is easily fixable

you just cut it at the middle using k

like this

then you select the dots

and merge em at center

ur done

dont forget if it's in vertex groups

or else it will end up in not importing

but for now ur ready

alright ill go back to polishing my gun

[main plover]

I still didn't figure out bump maps but for those they shouldn't be that important :copium:

Thanks a lot!

[summer stream]

bump maps is the most easiest thing you can think of

get one bump map from the model you got texture

and from the back

you just make them separate textures and ur done

[main plover]

I don't need to fiddle with thm editor?

[summer stream]

thm editor is just for it to shade properly + don't die when it's covered in rain

but yeah

dont forget to set it up

since bump needs to have this

without dither color

or else it will end up in this

[main plover]

IDK where I got but I was using something like that

[summer stream]

ah

[main plover]

it was somewhere in pinned

[summer stream]

let me just show how to do it without using bump generator

kinda complex but easy to learn

here u got a normal

we have these channels

(red can be different, but it's basically roughness or gloss)

[stuck token]

Hi here ! I'm looking for tips to modify player's goodwill with factions when he dies (for a soulslike mod). Which commands should I use in my script ?

[summer stream]

you copy the blue channel

put it as a different layer

copy the green channel into blue one

then you copy blue channel from different layer into green channel

here u have the bump

change the red's brightness/contrast for it

do it like this or anything else

and ur good

[main plover]

hmm the og texture didn't even had normal map

Thanks a lot ! Anyone could confirm how it can be handled in script please ?

[drifting moat]

Wdym? That is the exact function call to decrease goodwill with a given faction

[stuck token]

Sorry, I don't understand your question. I'm just looking for a script method to decrease player goodwill with different factions.

That one seems to be for debug mode use :
xr_effects.inc_faction_goodwill_to_actor(db.actor, nil, {"dolg", -10})

[drifting moat]

This is the script method

I guess you can run scripts inside debugger console too

There's no such thing as debug only scripts

[stuck token]

Oh ok ! And how can I get the current goodwill with a specific faction in script ?

[drifting moat]

Well technically this is not true, but don't worry about it at all.

[drifting moat]

Look inside xr_effects.script

Most of these questions btw can be answered by looking at the unpacked scipt files. Lot of good utility/core functions can be found there. I suggest you skim some of them.

Every time I need something from those files I usually just scroll the whole file and gaze at a high level what stuff it has.

Look for something like actor_goodwill. I'm on my phone rn so that's all I can do for you

[stuck token]

OK thanks for the tips ! Will have a look !

[stuck token]

I found that :
inc_faction_goodwill_to_actor(db.actor, nil, {"NAME OF FACTION", NUMBER OF GOODWILL WANTED})

[misty mulch]

yeah that's the exact same thing that siren posted above

you just call it inside your script

like fukin, here's some pseudocode cos i don't write lua

if triggering_condition_met == true then
  xr_effects.inc_faction_goodwill_to_actor(db.actor, nil, {"dolg", -10})
end

probably in the on_actor_death callback if i had to guess

[drifting moat]

How cool is that. My logger ran on the VSCode terminal window. Now it won't "hide" when VSCode gets focus. Idk why I didn't think of this before.

[stuck token]

thanks for your message, but please, just respect the fact that not everyone knows how to code in stalker 🙂

I just need to figure out how to get the goodwill with faction "X" in script. Seems to be db.actor:goodwill or something like that

[misty mulch]

I don't know how to code in stalker. That's why it's pseudocode

[misty mulch]

i found one way that the game reads "the player's goodwill with a given community", inside ui_pda_relations.script (it's how it gets the player goodwill to display it in the Relations tab in the PDA), line 324

relation_registry.community_goodwill("COMMUNITY_ID_HERE",AC_ID) (change COMMUNITY_ID_HERE to the appropriate faction ID)

[verbal siren]

In case of Thompson you've missed one other coordinate: hands_orientation. Basically just copy and rename every coordinate with _16x9, not just the ones that worked for AUGs. Thompson has a weird config with two sets of the same coordinate names but different numbers. I don't know which is used by the game, the one with zeroes or the other one. You'll have to test. I don't have the VPO in my gamma, so I can only assume it's the same issue.

[drifting moat]

Also. There's gameplay difficulty related goodwill modifiers: game_difficulties.get_eco_factor("goodwill")

[misty mulch]

though game_difficulties.get_eco_factor("goodwill") is more like a multiplier applied to goodwill gain/loss

not knowing what you want to do to community goodwill on actor death, it is hard to say how to use it

(this multiplier is not properly applied by half the shit GAMMA uses to increase/decrease goodwill for doing tasks for "enemy" factions, because of course)

[drifting moat]

Honestly having a soulslike mod calls for another calculation anyways. It's basically a whole another difficulty

[fresh sleet]

Ok, I thought so , but tried to copy exactly the algorithm so no problems would occur, btw why it worked for the aug tho? Also I noticed that the position in hands is a little lower then before(for the aug) , and a final question :in the Thompson ltx file the hands position and orientation are lower in the list then aim position should I copy that in my repo, does the order matter?

[verbal siren]

The AUG has the same value for hands_orientation and hands_orientation_16x9 -- didn't require changing.
"position in hands is a little lower then before(for the aug)" --
I don't know if it matters to have hands_position higher than aim_position. Other configs do hand_pos first so I'd stick to that.

[fresh sleet]

yeah the position is more like in vanilla anomaly a little bit lower then before when I didn't change anything in the files . But maybe it only seems to me... I can make screenshots

[verbal siren]

I mean you changed it with hands_position, so of course it's different than before, when you couldn't aim.

[fresh sleet]

oook then

sorry to disturb

i have changed the pistols orientation and stuff in the 3d hud editor slider mod you got

but when i flick over to a new gun

its way out of position

despite saying its editing the glock 17

ive hit apply multiple times and i just deadass

[celest forge]

It's important to read the description of mods before tagging the creators asking stuff that they layed out in the instructions

TL;DR, it doesn't do it automatically, you have to manually copy the values from the cache_dbg file to the gun's LTX file

didnt work

You mean the game won't start because you get a crash every time?

What do you mean by "check if it's well written" exactly?

• Is it syntactically correct
• Is it clean/readable?
• Is it logically correct

I assume you mean syntax wise. It looks like it should be fine.

[simple scaffold]

paste code here. it will tell you where you are missing an = https://fptje.github.io/glualint-web/

[quasi narwhal]

uhm excuse me sir

[quasi narwhal]

isn't the first for loop missing an end

or maybe it's the lack of indentation idk

(that's confusing me)

also yeah
local comm_others{} should be local comm_others = {}

[simple scaffold]

yes there is an unclosed loop as well

[quasi narwhal]

I'll leave the rest for Raven cause I have zero clue about the xr_effects and relation_registry shit 😭

[simple scaffold]

that is why https://fptje.github.io/glualint-web/ is good.

I should've added *at first glance

[stuck token]

Thanks a lot ! That's a great tool.
It says it's missing something, I'm going to have a look

[quasi narwhal]

nah u're fine

i just personally hate unindented/unformatted code so i just grew a thing on me of always re-reading it 100x

[stuck token]

When it says "warning : style : put a space before operator", does it mean it's obligatory ?

[quasi narwhal]

cause 99% of the time there's something bad in it

[quasi narwhal]

not in that case, no

[simple scaffold]

first for loop is missing an end, and line 16 needs an =

you managed to pick two errors with vauge warnings

[simple scaffold]

yellow syle warnings are are just recomedations

[quasi narwhal]

it's still gonna work the same, but again, following those makes your code more readable/maintainable

[drifting moat]

But it's recommended to apply them still.

[quasi narwhal]

just up to you how much you care about it

[simple scaffold]

style is recomendaation. it will fix those if you hit the pretty print button. makes standard white space and the code easier to read

only thing it dose that i don't like is putting your faction table on one line. i like the way you have it better personaly

but making the first for loop into three lines instead of one makes it very obvius that the loops are not nested. which can be ambigus the way it is now

[drifting moat]

You would love the code of this: https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1353850645878411366
Spent a lot of time making it as clean/readable as possible

[quasi narwhal]

if the formatter wants all that in a single line, a way to trick it is just to feed the first record with a comment right next to it, like

local fact = {
    "stalker", --
    "dolg",
    "freedom",
    "csky",
    "ecolog",
    "killer",
    "army",
    "bandit",
    "monolith",
    "greh",
    "renegade",
    "isg"
}

that way the formatter will always break it into multiple lines, no matter how many records are there

[simple scaffold]

interesting.

[quasi narwhal]

well, I guess it also depends on the formatter, some might remove that comment I guess? but it should work

[simple scaffold]

looking at that i realize how used to the fact that lua doesn't care about a trailing , that i always have one in my tables incase i need to add something

[simple scaffold]

it does with the web formatter i linked. useful.

[quasi narwhal]

yeah, leaving a trailing comma is great

some formatters add that in automatically for you, as a good practice

it's so useful once you need to add something new in

[stuck token]

Wow, super fine. Here's the new result :

local comm = db.actor:character_community() -- Put your Lua here
local fact = {"stalker", "dolg", "freedom", "csky", "ecolog", "killer", "army", "bandit", "monolith", "greh", "renegade", "isg"}
local comm_others = {}
for k = 0, #fact do
    comm_others[k] = relation_registry.community_goodwill(fact[k], AC_ID)
end

for k = 0, #comm_others do
    local random_loss = math.random(100, 400)
    if comm_others[k] > 0 then
        if comm_others[k] == comm then random_loss = random_loss + math.random(50, 150) end
        if random_loss > comm_others[k] then random_loss = comm_others[k] end
        random_loss = random_loss * -1
        xr_effects.inc_faction_goodwill_to_actor(db.actor, nil, {fact[k], random_loss})
    end
end

I hope it will work as intended 🙂

Is it right to write #fact ? meaning :
for k = 0, #fact do ...
=> k = 0 until k = fact array's size

[simple scaffold]

ohhhh.

yes that will work but

lua arrays start at 1

you want k = 1

[drifting moat]

You can also use this to quickly test stuff you're unsure about.
https://www.tutorialspoint.com/compilers/online-lua-compiler.htm

Of course this only works for Lua code

[stuck token]

Thanks for the detail !!

[simple scaffold]

you can also do for k, value in ipairs(fact) do which is lua's version of "for each" for arrays. for key tables it is for key, value in pairs(table) do (this will also work for arrays but is slower than ipairs)

[stuck token]

Perfect !

technicly this book is for a slightly older version of lua than stalker has, but stalker lua is closer to this book than it is to modern lua and this book is free. the differances are so minor you won't notice them. https://www.lua.org/pil/4.3.4.html

[drifting moat]

If you have small tables it's fine to use key, value pairs. They're much easier to work with and much cleaner IMO. But doing so requires each key to be unique

But this is just my sole opinion. It is based on nothing but my experiences

[stuck token]

Thanks a lot for help !!

[severe vector]

Does anyone have any exp with IL2CPP Modding that might have a minute I could ask some questions too?

My biggest roadblock is loading asset bundles, il2cpp interop errors out every time I’ve tried

second biggest is adding custom monobehaviors, with FULL functionality

you can add custom monobehaviors minus caveats like inheritance and abstract classes

[marsh roost]

Ok who can add mod for organ harvesting/sales

Don't act like it wouldn't happen !

[shadow coral]

anyone know where the silenced weapon sounds are located? I've been rummaging around the gamma mod pack and anomaly files, and I am finding several m16/m4/m4a1 etc. folders, but none of them match the silencer sound for the m4a1 protector for instance (as far as I can tell)

[celest forge]

BaS probably

[fair inlet]

all suppressed sounds for default gamma guns are in Oleh's weapon sounds

[vapid raven]

guys does anyone know the mod gamma uses for voicelines

[viscid kayak]

isn't it G.A.M.M.A voiced actor

[viscid kayak]

I've seen igigogs modding article on getting VSCodium somewhat set up, but are there no solutions around for like
acceptable LSP support?
I've spent a few headaches now on trying to lua-language-server to play nicely with the wacky stuff anomaly does, and I just want to make sure before I spend any more

[drifting moat]

I have VSCode set upt with Lua LS and LTX support.

Probably abosultely possible with Codium too, since it's just a fork of VSCode I guess

[viscid kayak]

oh yeah no, I do have completions for stuff in global scope

screenshot compressed into ant-size for some reason apologies

but everything goes into global scope even when that's not valid to the engine right? like if I wanted to call something in xr_effects I couldn't type xr_effects. and get completions for stuff within that file

(this isn't vscode either but that's not super relevant)

[drifting moat]

Ahh so that. Yeah idk if that is possible or if there's an easy way to get that working.

[viscid kayak]

ah okay, so maybe I am not crazy to be trying to write some sort of semi-transpiler for myself

[drifting moat]

Mr.GPT sent me this. I can't try rn, but you could give it a go.

[viscid kayak]

nah I've got the importing up, just trying to figure out if I can fix the namespaces

[drifting moat]

If you have progress definetly ping me!

[viscid kayak]

idk headache might kill me before I get anywhere

will do tho

[gray marlin]

Personally, I just threw a folder with scripts into workspace with my developments and that's it

[quasi narwhal]

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message
just follow this and it should work

if someone says it doesn't, that's skill issue

[viscid kayak]

ooooooooooh look at that, felt like it'd be insane to have folks scripting this much without something like that

[quasi narwhal]

but yes, chatgipiti was kinda right lmao

you just gotta point to the unpacked scripts

[quasi narwhal]

can i be honest mate

i feel like at most 3-4 devs use this shit in the whole community

rest of them are coding in Notepad++ without any LSP, formatting whatsoever

[viscid kayak]

classic

[gray marlin]

Avg vs code funs.

Avg notepad++ enjoyers.

[viscid kayak]

oh they manually documented it all the chads

[simple scaffold]

i just have a fairly compleate index of the script base in my head somewhere. i can generaly pick key words to find the functions i need with a quick search or two.

[viscid kayak]

yeahhh, if you've been around a while it's probably easy
I know I've wasted a few hours on a thing cause of just like, missing a function and going off on a goose chase to replicate its functionality

just want to avoid that happening again ||by wasting several hours getting this running on my bespoke ass editor instead||

[drifting moat]

Ah so you literally sent me how ot do it last time... I managed to completely miss that part. Thought you sent all that stuff to set up the LLS without complete code completion, LTX.

[viscid kayak]

thanks a ton pipnik!

[quasi narwhal]

is that neovim?

[viscid kayak]

yuhp

[quasi narwhal]

I've recently migrated to it cause not knowing Vim motions was making me go absolutely insane

never going back lol

[viscid kayak]

even simple stuff like ci" not being easy to replicate in other editors is crazy

[gray marlin]

Unbelievable

[viscid kayak]

also codium had a tendency to lag behind, I'd type out a snippet, press tab, and instead of expanding the snippet it'd just put a fuckin' tab
hated microsoft ever since

(although if the ecosystem drives you mad downloading the neovim plugin for VSC is equally viable)

[quasi narwhal]

this should get pinned at this point 😭

so i dont need to re-find this evritiem

[viscid kayak]

+1 on pin
was genuinely considering throwing a pr to modding book too considering that's what I first found as documentation

[gray marlin]

Just ping helper or mod.

[summer stream]

[gray marlin]

Sps!

[quasi narwhal]

maka the goat 🐐

only thing we're still missing here is the clown next to my name then

[gray marlin]

Chocolate medal for this guide.

[quasi narwhal]

yeah i think that'd be nice

it's the thing everyone links to anyways

[quasi narwhal]

will do that later, you have a snippet of your nvim config with the Lua LS part?
I'll do a section for both VSCode and nvim i guess

[viscid kayak]

getting it to work was an adventure lmao, and I'm not sure if I'm 100% happy with how I did it just yet
stuff that probably is an okay solution is uh, workspace root defines a .luarc.json file, contains this

{
    "runtime.version": "Lua 5.1",
    "runtime.plugin": "<anomaly-definitions-path>/plugin.lua",
    "diagnostics.disable": [
        "lowercase-global",
        "undefined-global",
        "duplicate-doc-param",
        "duplicate-doc-alias",
        "duplicate-doc-field"
    ],
    "workspace.library": [ "<anomaly-definitions-path>/library" ]
}

to get the definitions up

in init.lua, add

vim.filetype.add({
    extension = {
        script = "lua"
    },
})

honestly I ended up renaming the unpacked scripts into .lua to force lua_ls to read them, that's not a great hack I want to share

as for getting an LSP running you can use Lazy or something
honestly only write the neovim part of the pr if you're up for it yourself, otherwise I will (probably) in the future

[quasi narwhal]

ye i'll just recommend Mason or whatever else people wanna use to install the LSP

thanks boss

[drifting moat]

Actually those scripts aren't read by anything anyways, so that's a good idea

[sharp charm]

Oi who mods suits here.

Oi.

Oi.

Oi.

I asked something, boy.

You better answer me.

You may think I am dumb but I know you're there.

I wanted an exo-skeleton suit with guns installed on it.

That's my request

This is not a demand, boy.

Take it as a lovely request.

[slow bolt]

what

is

this

[quasi narwhal]

i think i just got -5% smarter

i hate this server

[fair canopy]

Someone's tism was allowed out

[misty mulch]

@normal relic my hunch is that it's something to do with getting assigned a new bones_koeff_protection_add section as well

[normal relic]

that sounds odd
im not adding ball % res to it

[misty mulch]

well the concept is that you are generally upgrading the suit's "overall armor"

most of these upgrades don't just change one value, they change several related stats

to be absolutely sure you'd have to read the script that actually applies the changes to the outfit stats

[normal relic]

i been doing so
all the other stats apply fine
ignoring fire_wound

but the ball% upgrades do work fine

[misty mulch]

well fire_wound isn't used for anything (e: in ADB) so that would be why

[normal relic]

yep

[rotund lotus]

No

[misty mulch]

they got a 2 day mute anyway

[normal relic]

im begining to suspect as to why its not working
bones_koeff_protection_add has its own function to add ball% res

[misty mulch]

..function?

[normal relic]

as in its not adding the stat changes in the traditional method like the other stats

[misty mulch]

yeah but it's still just adding a number to a specified section in a config

anyway i'm losing my mind reading _unpacked\scripts\inventory_upgrades.script

[drifting moat]

Never opened that one

[normal relic]

yeah gave it a good and long attempt at trying to add BR class through upgrades it doesn't seem to work

[fathom wagon]

I think I have a fix for that. Give me 10min.

I have that working for me. There is a specific function you need to call the upgraded version of the stat.

In order for you to get the upgraded value, you need to use utils_item.get_param

Essentially, everywhere that it does ini_sys:r_float_ex(outfit:section(), "hit_fraction_actor") OR ini_sys:r_float_ex(helmet:section(), "hit_fraction_actor"), you need to replace it with:

utils_item.get_param(outfit:section(), outfit and outfit:id(), "hit_fraction_actor", "float", true) OR utils_item.get_param(outfit:section(), helmet and helmet:id(), "hit_fraction_actor", "float", true)

The only thing to note it that the new value won't update until you save-reload. Quirk of the engine I believe.

@misty mulch @normal relic The above is your fix for BR upgrades not working within grok_actor_damage_balancer.script

[fathom wagon]

Note: you would also need to do similar for the stats display in the inventory and item tooltip as well.

[normal relic]

[misty mulch]

Thanks! Do you have any idea why?

[summer stream]

what the fuck is wrong with bone stuff

where do you see it

how the hell one THING

that isnt even there

will break the plugin

[random fulcrum]

bro did not clean his workspace

[summer stream]

i literally did

via

[random fulcrum]

should've restarted the router

[summer stream]

nah im restarting my whole pc

[lilac idol]

armature parenting and modifier?

[summer stream]

the model

its gone from the collection

[brazen sphinx]

guys maybe someone know, can i increase character shout outs? i wanna make them a bit more, but cant find any info about this

[serene forum]

I want change merc_ace_outfit 's first person arm model to merc_sun_outfit.

do you know how to change it?

[misty mulch]

look at something like GAMMA Hands Legs Model Swap, figure out which visual model the merc_sun_outfit uses, copy paste it into the merc_ace_outfit section

[serene forum]

Thanks!

[misty mulch]

np. feel free to post your edits in here if you would like someone to double check your changes

[summer stream]

you need to go into the SCRIPT that the voiced actor uses.

you find AGDD_voiced_actor.script within G.A.M.M.A. Voiced Actor and look into it.

this line refers as a COOLDOWN for the voice to accur. you are supposed to decrease it, just so it would occur much more often.

and this is ONLY for battle.

basically it explains at the start of the script.

3500, 2000, 1500 is the cooldown.

[plain oxide]

how to isntall quick action whjeel

[fathom wagon]

Yes, the "ini_sys:variable" function calls the default value of the variable you are trying to look up since it is only looking up via section name and not based on the actual item. The "utils_item.get_param" function looks up the value of the item itself which will also take into account upgrades.

[slow bolt]

not exactly

iirc its battle heat value

you gain it with time, but also with actions or smth

that

i dont remember what exactly i did, but i made them more frequent

also made grenade callout work on quick nade key

[queen pine]

[summer stream]

sir they work already

you just need to smash the shit out of G

and THEN it will trigger

anyways question related to scopes :
how do i apply a kit on gun so it will use the scopes with rmr?
do i just do the same way as with normal scopes or i need to do something with it?

[slow bolt]

no

[summer stream]

they do

[slow bolt]

check the script code. it checks if you have a grenade in yo hands and if you press left or right click

that is all it did

[summer stream]

[slow bolt]

which means it wont trigger on G

[summer stream]

idc it works for me

without any additional stuff

[slow bolt]

function on_key_release(key) --grenade throw callout function

    if time_global() < next_throw_callout then return end --checks for the grenade throw pause

    if( ( key == DIK_keys["MOUSE_1"] ) or ( key == DIK_keys["MOUSE_2"] ) ) then --only runs if LMB (auto-throw) or RMB (regulated throw) is pressed
        actor_weapon = db.actor:active_item() --gets whatever weapon actor is currently using
        if not actor_weapon then return end --prevents the code from running if there's no weapon, it'll cause an engine crash otherwise
        actor_weapon_name = actor_weapon:name() --gets the weapon name
        actor_weapon_state = actor_weapon:get_state() --gets what the weapon is doing right now
        if 
        ( actor_weapon_state == 5 or actor_weapon_state == 6 or actor_weapon_state == 7 or actor_weapon_state == 1 ) --the weapon is being: pin-pulled, thrown, "reloaded"
        and    
        ( string.find( actor_weapon_name, "grenade_rgd" ) or string.find( actor_weapon_name, "grenade_f" ) or string.find( actor_weapon_name, "grenade_gd" ) ) --the list of valid nades for the callouts (I'd do a table but I don't really know how they work in this engine and I'm not feeling like spending time on that)
        then
            next_throw_callout = time_global() + 5000 --sets the pause of five seconds before the next callout
            actor_speak("characters_voice\\player" .. lang .. "\\" .. muffle .. "grenade_throw_" .. math.random(9),2.0,1250,100,true,false,false,false)
            add_action_intensity(75,0.5,500)
        end    
--DEBUG--        SetHudMsg("Weapon Name: " .. actor_weapon_name .. ", Weapon State: " .. actor_weapon:get_state()) --displays what weapon is the actor using and at what state when LMB or RMB is released
    end

end

you could be using my modded file, since it aint the first time i posted it

[summer stream]

Poxyi

also @slow bolt lies

i do use the modified version of it because of lass

but yet there is nothing there

so uhh

[slow bolt]

So it doesnt work fo you

congrats

i tested it extensively

[summer stream]

wym

idfk what y'all doing with ur stuff

[slow bolt]

In the code you can clearly see it only works for LMB and RMB

[summer stream]

it does work for me

i just spam it constantly and it counts towards LMB or RMB

[slow bolt]

Then you have other file that makes it work

[summer stream]

idc

[summer stream]

i wonder which

even default mod count with LASS does it

and w/o too

i know nothin

[slow bolt]

mine works for singular press of G

[summer stream]

absolute :poxyi:

[celest forge]

@lilac idol See that's the weird thing, imported on blender it's perfect

But in game they're still messed up

Truly an X-ray momento

[lilac idol]

yeah ive had this happen to me too

real annoying shit

[celest forge]

Makes me wish I knew how to mod for some other engine where this kinda shit doesn't happen

[normal relic]

@misty mulch do you know if changes made to damages.ltx can be dltx ed ?

[misty mulch]

great question. please hold

[misty mulch]

the answer from my end: maybe? your root file is system.ltx and folder destination is gamedata\configs\creatures

but idk if it's like the weather ltxes where that shit is un-DLTX-able and IDK why, only that you can't do it

[normal relic]

because other mods i have seen editing the file
just add the entire ass file instead of being dltx

[misty mulch]

i mean that could be because they're old

as in, pre-DLTX (or before it became standard)

[short moat]

Is SSS 22 better than 20 in performance?

[simple scaffold]

The engine loads every file in the weather folder individually this will result in it trying to load the mod files by themselves which breaks.

It is the only place this happens with ltx files

[vapid raven]

guys i need serious fuckin help

how the hell

on earth

do install EFT repositions

ive only got these mods and my scopes are all fucked in my modpack

this is my acog

i dont know whats happening

and ive just looked at efp mods

and i wanna install these because i think this is the problem, i dont have these fixes

need an godsent angel to help me rn

[celest forge]

Maybe you should try to learn modding basics before taking the quest of making a full on modpack

Since you clearly dont know how to figure out basic LTX stuff

[vapid raven]

dick

[celest forge]

Not trying to be rude

[vapid raven]

you aint gotta be like that, i was ambitious and now a simple guy just need a bit of help

[celest forge]

But its like trying to build an engine without knowing how to change oil

[vapid raven]

yes

so you ask for help

if your kid wanted to build a tower out of legos

and he asked his dad for help
