also implemented re4's ditman glitch as a joke mod once

[drifting moat]

Gotcha

I accidentally became a QoL modder

Was not my intention at all

But I saw that some stuff annyoing stuff were present for ages and those just bug me so I feel like I have to fix them

Start creating something again and see if there's still a spark

[random fulcrum]

i guess the recoil mod and the ergonomics mod are also extreme gimmicks in their own right as they stray far away from your usual anomaly shit

[drifting moat]

The recoil mod seemed cool. Guns need more variety in usage

[main plover]

if base mod config already use "!" overwrite tag do i need to zzzzz overwirte?

[summer stream]

you just do ! without the zzz

zzz is used for it not to be overwritten by other files

which could possibly have the same name

[main plover]

So if my config has diffrent name and still has !
and is higher prority it will be more important?

faust what did you even make ong

[azure bluff]

i have an object fetched like so:
local target = target_id and alife_object(target_id)

how can i check what "type" of object it is? Is it a stalker? A squad of stalkers? An item? A mutant?

hmm, i see entity_type field, buuut what values can it assume?

[steady apex]

The "type" so to speak is alife object, it can be anything

From monsters to boxes

There are helper functions in g script to help identify what it is exactly

[azure bluff]

i see them, the Is... set of functions, thanks

indoor gun sound teaser, in dev

also that loud sound for some reason not played every time, not sure why, might be because of it being too loud . Seem not related to the mod

Hello people, how can I lower the bar that is under the blue one, I have taken energizers, beard tea and I can't get it to go down?

Is there additional outfits mod?More armors?

[quasi narwhal]

this channel is for making mods, ask in #🔨modded-gamma-support cause I think that right there is bvcx's Cold System mod

[regal bolt]

okey thanks

[quasi narwhal]

you gotta stay warm before that starts decreasing afaik

#1292174833211412564

literally was doing an update for it

plus tried to ask lizzardman for karambit anims

[drifting moat]

No not like knife skins

[summer stream]

i know

those aint skins

karambit will be a separate knife

with its own stats

AND a normal animation

[drifting moat]

I meant "skins"

[summer stream]

not like cs:go

[summer stream]

i know the "skins"

which are just replacement

i want to make them separate

[drifting moat]

Somethink like swords or brass knuckle. Stuff like thast

[summer stream]

dude

how bout those

[drifting moat]

But the double dagger looks sick ngl

[summer stream]

or just the katana

there is also karambit but i got a separate one

[drifting moat]

Actually blades of the zone adds nice variety too.

I take that back

[summer stream]

those are tarkov models

yet i want to add the COD one's

that look good

[quasi narwhal]

now that i think, i should install Blades of the Zone and play a Sin playthrough starting only with the cultist knife

[summer stream]

not the fucking

candy bar knife

[summer stream]

https://tenor.com/view/ryan-gosling-ryan-gosling-drive-sigma-gif-561916353999261501

i already forgot that it had both cultist knife and the

gladiator one

anyways if you want to see some new stuff
ask lizzardman

i aint the one who can properly implement the anims
i just edit em

hmm yes

Western Goods magazines are censored to comply with ModDB and GitHub Terms of Uses.

By popular demand, I made an uncensored version, which I only distributed in DMs and on demand.

Surely people are now distributing this NSFW version « behind my back ». I didn’t tell them not to. It didn’t even occur to me that they would (although retrospectively it was obvious this was going to happen).

I am not responsible for what these people do with these files. I know the way I distributed them was the best possible to both comply with ToU, and content people.

Ask broader questions like:

• How do I search for files like image files?
• How is the size of UI elements determined/stored?

This way you don't get a solution to 1 super specific problem, but what you'll get is a skill that will help you solve a lot of similar reoccuring problems.

[azure bluff]

Why do no tasks have a task giver? Is this a side effect of acquiring tasks through taskboard?

nevermind, i see that taskboard keeps track of task_giver_id properly.

[drifting moat]

Looking very nice. You plan on implementing this for all vanilla tasks?

You could display the list items (Faction, Rank etc...) like this:

[azure bluff]

i'm hookin into task_objects.script so it should work for all tasks as long as the functor for the task returns some target_id. I plan on keeping a history of targets in the task and display the entire history with dates of transition from one target to another. Also i want to display the task giver so that you can find the guy and cancel the task by talking to him.

history will probably have to be stored in plain string form because stalkers, squads, mutants etc die but it might still be helpful

i haven't looked into item fetch tasks yet, i don't think i get a target_id for those.

[drifting moat]

I've also ran into task_objects.script instance with no task_id, so just a heads up. Make every variable read resilient to nil

[dapper lynx]

Guys, help me figure this out pls.
There's probably an "empty" particle in anomaly. How do I reference it?

Not sure if I did it right but I used this particle. It seems empty.

[candid quail]

Hello all, on occasion I have been meleed by a fellow faction stalker member when I had inadvertently shot them during battle. For the life of me, I am unable to locate that behavior within any of the scripts. Any ideas where this is located?

[drifting moat]

I think it's called in a "stupid" name like isAbused

[candid quail]

Haha. Thank you. Looks like xr_abuse.script is where I need to be. It has a couple comments like "Punch in the face" and "Should you kick someone in the face?"

[thorny steeple]

for which the answer is yes, of course.

[regal bolt]

You have serious error: the bind_stalker.script doesnt found in gamedata/scripts!

But l have it... Why it says l got a serious error?

[limpid plaza]

hey guys, so i made a ammo check animation for a gun that dosent have one(it uses the reload anim), but the games ignores it, i added a mod_system.ltx file and put the anm_ammo_check values, but it still uses the reload anim, what could i be missing? edit: ok so i added a inspect animation and now the ammo check works wtf

[azure bluff]

assuming I have object fetched by alife_object(object_id) and that object is

IsStalker(se_obj) or
se_obj:clsid() == clsid.trader or
se_obj:clsid() == clsid.script_trader or
se_obj:clsid() == clsid.online_offline_group or
se_obj:clsid() == clsid.online_offline_group_s

How can i find out if the object is traveling somewhere and if so, what is the desired location that object wants to reach?

[candid quail]

I think I need a kick in the face... took me ten and a half hours realize what you were referring to. Hahaha

[drifting moat]

You should check either the alife or the ai scripts. I'm pretty sure that stalkers store their destination in a variable.

Alternatively if you know what type of class the AI uses you should check the lua_help.script to see what engine methods are exposed to lua (what engine stuff is callable via lua code) to see if there is a function that returns what you're looking for.

[buoyant slate]

Does anyone know if this glass overlay texture has its own file?

[thorny steeple]

Is that not the texture file for the image in question? If so I'm assuming it's baked in.

[buoyant slate]

I thought it would be, but I've seen loading screen mods (Even the gamma one) also use the same texture on new screens, so I figured there might be a separate texture somewhere for it

[thorny steeple]

That's a fantastic question. From experience with similar games and not this one (since I'm so new to modding Gamma) I would assume mod authors find away to remake the overlay or do some photoshop trickery to cut the glass out and use it elsewhere.

Are you trying to make your own loading screen images? Might be better to simply make your own new glass overlay. I'd be happy to help! (if you're not capable yourself of course, I don't want to assume).

Something like this would probably take like... 10 minutes in Photoshop max. 5 if I can find a decent base image to work from.

[buoyant slate]

Yeah, the loading screens are about 2 years old at this point, and I wanted to update them to align more with current GAMMA and the new SSS that'll be added when they're pubicly released

If I can't find the file I'll let you know, thank you!

[thorny steeple]

Funny enough, I was thinking of doing the same thing for character portraits after I release the first version of my Readables Expansion mod. I've seen a couple mods for it, but I feel like I was seeing some AI gen, or the styles weren't quite base game enough for me.

I just got my hands on a bunch of the Stalker 2 models for SFM so I figured I'd make some nice renders to sub in and try to recreate the base gamma ones as best I can.

[verbal siren]

Yeah, it's a number of DDS texture files with names corresponding to headgear damage. I can dig up the files when I'm on my PC.

[buoyant slate]

That'd be great! Any ideas what words the file names might contain? I could check them out myself 🙂

[drifting moat]

Is there a way to turn an offline object into an online object?

I need to check the parts condition of an object even if it's on a different map.

Wait. I think I can use se_load_var().

[verbal siren]

@buoyant slate
My memory isn't that good. It would be faster to download some kind of gasmask overlay mod from moddb, like this one, and look for the files there. The filenames used should be the same as in gamma.
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/drunks-miserable-masks-v7

[loud python]

Gentlemen, good day, I came here with help, I have been trying to understand for a very long time how you can change the armor model, but I did not understand in any way, only on the vanilla version of the game everything is quite simple. Is there a mod that allows you to choose any other model from the available NPCs?

[spare ferry]

Hi! Is there any way to increase outcoming damage in GAMMA?

[true lance]

For someone who has never made a mod what would be the best place to start? I mean like simple config changes or new weapons and models and so on or if y'all think I should try a simpler game

[drifting moat]

Check this out. Read the anomaly modding book and then, just try to create somethimg and see for yourself #╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

[thorny steeple]

I've got a lot of experience modding other games and I'm new to modding Gamma myself but the easiest things you can do would be texture editing (depending on your tools and aptitude) and config editing. You might also be able to emulate or build on other mods, too.

Like right now I'm making my own expansion for Western Goods - Readables. I'm basically just looking at its files, seeing how it implements the existing readables and its functions, then mirroring those but with my own content in a new mod.

After the readables expansion I plan on looking at player/NPC portraits and/or adding new furniture to Hideout Furniture because I'm dumb and want some Sims in my Stalker.

[hardy hound]

check the addon:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/dltx-151-more-portrait-icons-and-actor-visuals
should already be included in gamma

in mod_system_PORTRAIT.ltx
its defined for the outfit of the player (![cs_stalker_outfit])
the actor visual which is the third person model, the path is for the .ogf of the visual you want, its inside gamedata/meshes and from actors you define in the line
B:\MO2\mods\Fixed Vanilla Models&Textures [PRE-RELEASE]\gamedata\meshes\actors\stalker_nebo
actor_visual = actors\stalker_nebo\stalker_nebo_lc_custom_6

[true lance]

are there any games that are easier to mod that you've modded bc i feel that gamma might be a big first step

[thorny steeple]

In my opinion- Any Bethesda game. By extension, or for the same reason, ANY game that has dedicated modding tools. For Bethesda games you have the Construcion Set/Construction Kit/Creation Kit/Cretion Kit 2.0 which are all basically the exact same program but for each game.

You can do something as simple as creating a sword with a dumb name and stupid stats to just creating a nice little custom house for yourself. I started with doing custom houses and level design in Oblivion, myself.

And it's all pretty damn well documented too, and a lot of stuff carries forward and back. If you use the Oblivion Construction Set you'll know how to use the Fallout3/NV GECK and the Skyrim/Fallout 4 Creation Kit or Starfields Creation Kit 2.

[drifting moat]

I wish stalker had some reliable modding tools

[thorny steeple]

Same. If there was a well-documented Level Design workflow that's at least SOMEWHAT noob friendly, I'd be doing that instead of adding porn to the game.

[lilac idol]

it doesn't?

sure yeah level editing is literally unreliable by itslef

but anything outside of that?

[thorny steeple]

Not like... Dedicated. As far as I'm aware. More a mish-mash of using third party programs in an effective order.

As opposed to the Bethesda Kits, or the Witcher 3 modding tools, or Project Zomboids modding tools, etc.

[drifting moat]

Nothing for UI, scripting can take a lot of experimentation. Code is absolute spaghetti.

[lilac idol]

yeah definitely not dedicated, but there are tools for almost naything

[drifting moat]

For weapons and icons there are good tools that's true. Unfortunately I do neither

[thorny steeple]

I may be misremembering or it may be wishful thinking but didn't GSC say they'd be releasing dedicated tools for Stalker 2? That mightve just been a fever dream.

[drifting moat]

Yes they said that

[lilac idol]

yeah but they haven't as far as im concerned

[drifting moat]

Also said that they'll add multiplayer soon after releasing the game

[thorny steeple]

They're still bug fixing before focusing on anything else, I guess. But hey, it'll be interesting if they ever do get around to it. I'm not familiar with any UE5 games that have their own tools like that.

As much as I love and appreciate the work they did in making it all one cohesive, mostly geographically correct, Zone it does kinda mean there's not a whole lot of room for expansion as far as mods go. With the original trilogy it felt like you could practically put anything nywhere because "The Zone is fucking weird bro". But it's all on one map now so like... where would you go? Start building outside of the Zone?

That's assuming map expansion would even be possible with the tools. If it even has a level editing component.

For all we know it might just be a fancy config editor 😭

[random fulcrum]

may i remind you that spatial anomalies and pocket dimensions are a canon thing in the stalker universe

and how limansk was actually a legend up until the super emission at the start of clear sky popped it out of a spatial anomaly

there's also potential for having stuff east of the pripyat river

op2 does that and chooses to place the more fantastical maps east of it

which imo is such a golden design choice

[thorny steeple]

What I mean to say as in the in-game physicality. You can add as many locations to the OT as you want because it's all level transitions as opposed to Stalker 2's everything-is-in-one-open-world approach.

[random fulcrum]

east of the river still makes sense if that's a concern

north of the powerplant too

[thorny steeple]

That's kinda what I was thinking. North especially, because of that OP2 you mentioned or some similar modpack. I know there's one or two out there that adds Pripyats sister city

that would be pretty dope. And the Zone does expand a few times over the course so you have the hand-wavy explanation of "Zone bigger, deal with it."

[random fulcrum]

limansk is sort of just chernobyl-2

sure it got retconned in stalker 2 because chernobyl-2 actually exists there now

[thorny steeple]

I read that the towers in Radar as well as the towers in Limansk(?) were meant to be based on/inspired by the Duga, so now in Stalker 2 we basically have 3 Duga in essence. At that point, I guess you can really get away with anything.

[limpid plaza]

hey guys,does someone else get shaky animations when you export the .skl files to the .omf in blender?

[lilac idol]

you mean from skl to omf?

[limpid plaza]

yes, the skl looks fine but once i export it it gets shaky

[lilac idol]

can you show a vid of it?

[limpid plaza]

hold up i have to install obs

first one is the .skl file, then its the exported version, it's a slight shake but it is there,I think it could be the quality of the xray addon?

[lilac idol]

hmm I'm really trying but I can't tell the difference

try looking into the graph editor and see if everything matches between the 2 actions

[limpid plaza]

the XYZ location f-curves of the lead_gun bone in the graph editor lose quality

they are completely smooth in the original .skl, weird

[lilac idol]

yeah that's weird indeed

try pressing T and the select Beizer

interpolation might be in linear mode

[limpid plaza]

i mean the are all in linear interpolation but since there is a keyframe every frame it dosent matter, what matters are the values of the keyframes (i think)

[tribal aspen]

if the game runs at more than the fps the animation is authored it will play the inbetweens

[celest needle]

what they didn't say out loud is that it won't be co-op tho :3

[lilac idol]

yeah prolly this, you're better off checking in game before getting to any conclusions

oh damn I didn't know brightside was here

[tribal aspen]

Im a lurker

[lilac idol]

I see

I'm a great fan of your stuff tho glad to see you around

[tribal aspen]

Thanks 😄

I've been trying to get into stalker/gamma modding but... this engine really shows its age

[lilac idol]

nah it's quite easy once you get the hang of it

I'd say that the hardest part of making animations mods is just exporting the anims for the first time if you're not familiar with it

but if you need anything I'll be glad to help

[tribal aspen]

Blindside ran me through the process like 2 years ago, but I've also found videos on YT

Yeah if I have any issues ill be sure to ask here

[lilac idol]

there's a few new methods that have came along but tbh they are quite grounded

[limpid plaza]

i checked the anim in game and they are shaky as well,you think it could the be the frame rate i selected in blender? also sorry for bad english

[lilac idol]

is the animation in 30fps?

both the original and exported

[limpid plaza]

i think so? i dont know its thats it

i mean like i dont know if thats were you set the fps

[lilac idol]

yeah that looks right, assuming that you haven't messed with time stretching it should be fine in that aspect

let me wrap my head around it rq

try setting the interpolation to bezier, set it to 60 FPS and set the time stretching in after to 50

that should simulate how the anim should look in game, since it will play at 60fps once you're playing with it

[limpid plaza]

like this?

[lilac idol]

nah old should remain the same

[limpid plaza]

oh ok

[lilac idol]

hold on I think I actually misinformed you pretty badly

[random fulcrum]

mods give this fucking IDIOT the unfit to help role

[lilac idol]

yeah seems fair

[slow bolt]

Unfit to mod

[celest forge]

https://tenor.com/view/mods-mod-miguel-gato-cat-gif-22365379

[lilac idol]

well first of all, did it work with what I said first? I have never tried doing that but it might actually work

if it didn't then you can try to simply duplicate the amount of information for the action by adding more keyframes
you can do this by scaling all the frames by 2 from frame 0 in the dope sheet (S + 2), then in the action tab for the x-ray add-on you have to set speed as 2

and then in omf editor you'd have to make sure that both the hand and weapon anim have a speed value of 2

[limpid plaza]

i mean the first part made the animation faster, but im not sure i did it rigth, i will try the second thing

[limpid plaza]

its still has that minimal error in the curve, but its only in the location f-curves, the rotation curves are perfectly fine, its so weird

[hardy hound]

already stated 3 years ago

[celest forge]

Too based

[celest needle]

honestly, I didn't see that, and I don't think most people did either

[celest forge]

They said multiplayer a lot

And coop not a single time

1+1

[hardy hound]

I doubt pvp multiplayer will come soon anyway, seems like it will take some time

[celest needle]

I mean, ngl, I felt coop is kinda implied for a game that's entirely story based when they talk multiplayer. ngl I felt the deathmatch stuff with the og games was an odd decision too

[celest forge]

I agree with their take of coop

Balancing the ENTIRE game and story with coop in mind so that 1/10 of the playerbase plays maybe 2 hours with a friend and then never again seems like a horrible trade off

Coop story campaigns need to be obligatory ala It Takes Two to be good imo

[celest needle]

I mean, I think it's just being overthought. it would be perfectly fun not balanced for coop

[celest forge]

Anything else is a poorly implemented gimmick

[celest needle]

tbf I think my view of coop might be skewed, I just treat it as a way to fuck around with friends rather than to treat the game seriously

from that perspective, it's more understandable now

[celest forge]

Thats what 99.9% of people wouldve used the coop as

Hence why i insist its not worth it

From the devs perspective

[celest needle]

yeah, I've come round to the other side now lmao

[celest forge]

Imagine spending a collective tens of thousands of man power making a game and then all it will be remembered for is "STALKER 2 CLIPS WITH THE GANG PT. 37 - THE RIZZLER IN THE ZONE????"

[lilac idol]

did you enable high quality motions when exporting?

[loud python]

As I understand it, it changes everything and what is written in LTX depends on it?

[main plover]

I managed to add 3dss scope to the weapon but in alt aim my laser sight zooms in and stays in fixed distance

Looked trought other weapons with laser sight and can't find config that could help me 😦

3dss scope no scope/classic scope on the right

Or maybe I screwed up model on 3dss one

Nah still doesn't change

[main plover]

ffs it works fine on t12

[wintry rampart]

Hello guys !!

I'm trying to put a custom texture on the placeable briefcase, found in the hidden furniture mod. So i took the OGF, went through all the steps in blender, and even the export went fine with no errors. But when I place the object in-game, it's invisible/un-interactable.

HAALP !!!

[main plover]

check with ogf editor if it uses proper textures

[wintry rampart]

ogf editor ? Could you share a link for the tool ? I used the OGF editor (could only find version 1.5) and it shows the textures perfectly. But no luck in-game 😦

[wintry rampart]

Aplogies .. i meant v1.4 for the editor ... it has a cfg file where we're supposed to give it the gamedata/textures/ location for any model we intend to view with it .. and I did all that .. I'm able to see the model + textures no problemo !! :\

[limpid plaza]

hey just wanted to say thanks for all the help man, it turns out it was the format type when exporting, i changed it to CS/CoP and it works fine now

[drifting moat]

error in error handling. Understood.

[random fulcrum]

this pic goes hard feel free to screenshot

[drifting moat]

Anyone knows how to get the in game date in this format?

Actually this would be the absolute best

There it is,, but I'm not sure if something like that is exposed to Lua

[random fulcrum]

maybe peep inside the script that handles the pda prompts

[drifting moat]

game.CTime().dateToString(game.get_game_time())

lua_help.script for the win

[random fulcrum]

i'm a fake fan i often need to crash the game a couple dozen times before i understand how to properly chain classes and functions

[drifting moat]

For the record. I 100% expected to crash at least 5 times before figuring out this syntax: game.CTime().dateToString(game.get_game_time()). It was a pleasant surprise that I got it the first time.

[lofty parcel]

just to make sure, the only lines that determine whether a gun can be used with a detector are "slot" and "single_handed," right? for some reason i cant make the ks23 NOT let me pull out my detector. i even had a dltx to override slot and single_handed to 2 and 0, respectively, and he still pulls that shit out with one hand

[drifting moat]

No I think there's engine side stuff to it too.

[lofty parcel]

fuk

[drifting moat]

Like you can make pistols, smgs single handed, but not shotguns, ars, lmgs

[lofty parcel]

it's just not natural

[drifting moat]

Looks like I was wrong

Wait. Actually if you can pull out a detector with a gun there's a way to prevent that 100%

Maybe the .ltx changes you make get overridden by another mod.

[summer stream]

or someone set a single_handed = 1 there

[lofty parcel]

i used the pinned ltx to make the ks23 slot and single handed 2 and 0 (along with changing in on w_ks23.ltx) and it still didnt change it

i looked for any ![wpn_ks23] override too and nothing touches it

so i actually have no idea

i guess it's not really that big of a deal since i dont use the ks that much but god damn!! what is that!!

[lofty parcel]

i had like 6 or 7 z's too

that shit definitely had priority

it was slot 0 and single_handed = 1 originally though

so at least i cant put it in the vision slot anymore

this part is pretty funny though

straight up will of the monolith racking my slide

[drifting moat]

I think I made another pro modder move.

Ah. I forgot to give that guy a file extension

Guess the XRAY engine got a panic attack because of that.

[summer stream]

genius

[summer stream]

poor XML was gone
buddy shat himself

[drifting moat]

Okay we're back in the saddle now 👌

[thorny steeple]

Alright weird question with a probably obvious answer but mind goblins won't let me continue unless I hear it from someone else. Found a mod that adds 50+ non-replace faction portraits* to the game. If I take that mod, remove all of it's custom content, add in my custom content, do you think that's like... Fair play to release if I give them credit for the groundwork? Or should I seek permission?

[jade oxide]

pov : you are serious Sam, hunting for artifacts 😂

[drifting moat]

Definetly ask for permission if you use the code.

[random fulcrum]

honestly, if you can contact the person, definitely ask for the blessing

if not, then be sure to provide credits and even link the original

in fact credit anyways

it should go without saying

but if you can contact then ask for permission

we should normalize good manners in the anomaly scene

[thorny steeple]

Planned on both. I guess I was thinking about whether it depends on how simple the code is? Maybe I could even write this myself. Not sure how simple it would be to make a portrait replacer from scratch but maybe it'd be a good way to learn anyway.

!dxlt

shit, I thought that was the command for the DXLT guide

maybe it would help if I looked up DLTX instead. Veer's rolling over in his sleep.

[lilac idol]

if you use someone's work you should make sure to credit them most of the time

[true sable]

did you ever end up doing this? I'm trying to do the same thing

[thorny steeple]

In this case, to build on what I was meaning, was that if it was something as simple as "I put a picture in a folder" I probably wouldn't bother. If I do use anything that wasn't written or created directly by me I would of course give credit. Might still give credit in the former case too, tbh.

"Special Thanks to [Mod Author] for [Mod] which helped me understand how to create [My Mod]"

[lilac idol]

yeah that works too

do keep in mind that failing to give proper crediting can give you a reputation

which a lot of the time doesn't happen, but if the fuck up is major it can technically lead to that

[thorny steeple]

Of course, no worries, I'm no stranger to general modding community guidelines.

I just like to be extra careful to doubly ensure no toe stepping 😄

[novel ruin]

If anyone interested in adding sounds for Indoor Gunsound Framework, like a backup sound for each ammo type. I can handle the scripting and the engine side for it, I just need the sounds.

[fair inlet]

just port mw19, I think dark signal uses it for at least some unsuppressed tails
and gamma uses it for suppressed

[novel ruin]

But i still wannt some modders to do it, its more fitting. Tho I would still use mw2019 for testing, where would i find those?

Im not gonna dl 3TB of micro transactions into my pc

[quasi narwhal]

just a lame ahh idea
what if you prompt ChatGPT to write a Python script that would batch add reverb and increase the sound volume from the vanilla weapon sounds?

I mean, you'd probably have to convert the files I guess, but it's doable

[novel ruin]

I planned to do that, without the ai part

[quasi narwhal]

yeah I mean, prompting could just give you some ideas on how to do that

[novel ruin]

Honestly i never trust ai on these niche stuff, or in my code tbh, and i know how to do it, a lot hacks and ffmpeg

[fair inlet]

well there are whole 2 gun sound modders for anomaly so might have to wait some time

[novel ruin]

Yea so maybe the python code is the way then.

[jade oxide]

hey what's the plan, someone said sound modding ?

am i understanding that you need all the sounds with reverb added ?

this can be done using audacity macro function, and then python code to automate generation of new configs, injected in the proper LTX

even bash script to inject / organize exported reverb sound files into folders and you make a mod out of that and bam, you got your mod folder

am i also understanding that the script is able to recognize different type of indoors using the ray casting method ? nevermind, I think now it's just a binary decision thing from outdoor / indoor and no choice of reverberation level

[static nebula]

maybe this sprint loop sucks less than the current one

[celest forge]

He's back

[jade oxide]

@novel ruin can we go DM someday ?

[tribal aspen]

I'm used to animating in Maya not Blender so there's still a lot of work to do on this

[old berry]

hey so after making a new model for a gun with a sight on it the weapon is shiny after putting on a scope, anyone knows how to fix that?

[old berry]

nvm i figured it out

[celest forge]

incorrect shader?

[old berry]

nah i just had the hud model set as world model

idk why it did that tbh

[celest forge]

Why did it make it shiny tho

[old berry]

i have no clue

like i said having world model be the same as hud model did that

[lethal garden]

So, using the P220 Upgrade Kit, I cant use Free-Zoom with it. What do i alter in the LTX to allow FreeZoom?

[novel ruin]

Known bug, no idea why that happen, free zoom isnt check from the gun ltx

Probably related to 3dss being enable on it but idk

[fair inlet]

isn't it just about hud_fov param

[novel ruin]

If he mean the free zoom doesnt work at all, so no zoom in the fov as well then no. Bas gun have custom hud_fov but still allowed to zoom on fov part

[novel ruin]

Im planning to use python ffmpeg, and do all the stuff from there. Im not gonna do it rn, busy with irl stuff, maybe next week

[jade oxide]

@novel ruin hmm okay. BTW, for future development, there are important gun sound keys in the engine that should not be forgotten, these are "snd_shoot_actor_first" and "snd_silncer_shoot_actor_first". I wonder if room size preset can be added too, but i guess already improving the ray casting thing to make accurate indoor detection will be a huge milestone already. goodluck

[reef crescent]

So guys. If i, for example had a 3d model for a gun, what would recommend to create animations and etc?

[lilac idol]

if you're making animations you could look into Radon's guide

it's in the modding book

[reef crescent]

Where is the book itself located?

[lilac idol]

pins in this channel

or google "anomaly book"

[reef crescent]

Thanks

[fair pollen]

You are in Asset Central server, check the pins in mw-19 channel.

Have seen at least one link about sounds in there.

[fair pollen]

Are you trying Blender specifically because of Xray addon for it, or just in general

[south prairie]

Anyone know if it would be possible to make npc body parts create blood stains or blood pools where the body lands, for example if I shot someone in the head and wherever the body lands, blood is spawned under the head? Right now if I kill someone and the body somehow lands a little bit further away from the place they died no new blood is created making the bullet holes in them the only proof they died (Or is it already like this and one of my mods broke it somehow)

[drifting moat]

Isn't this done by painter of the zone mod?

[tribal aspen]

I've been using blender for a couple of years just not for first person weapon animations, but yes mainly for the X-ray tools

[summer stream]

https://tenor.com/view/breaking-bad-hank-hank-schrader-hank-realizes-realization-gif-780015897459211565

don't tell me ur gonna release something with these kind of quality animations

that would be sick asf

[tribal aspen]

That reload only took like 2-3 hours it's not up to my current standards

[summer stream]

i wonder why is it not up to ur current standards

[tribal aspen]

[fair pollen]

But they do exist for Maya, too

[summer stream]

also true too

i was about to say it

[lilac idol]

blender plugin is way better tho

[summer stream]

more stuff that you can work with

[tribal aspen]

I don't have Maya at home and i don't know how to make rigs in Maya (yet)

[summer stream]

but maya can be used for animations
blender for the rest of stuff

[summer stream]

dang

[tribal aspen]

Good to know though

[fair pollen]

You can use both for animations
Just that Maya have a lot of cool plugins to easily do a retarget.

[summer stream]

i think i should get maya in some time

[fair pollen]

Like Base OverRig

[summer stream]

since blender is making my brain burn

[fair pollen]

It ain't free though, but it is really nice.

[tribal aspen]

Blenders lack of snapping tools and shit constraints is painful but i found some plugins

Still shit tho lol

[fair pollen]

Tbf I'm kinda surprised to see on this server

[lilac idol]

have you tried absolute snap

[tribal aspen]

I think that's the one i have

[lilac idol]

i use that for constraints and i haven't had any issues

[summer stream]

same

at first i look at the animation
looks good
i look at the profile

Holy shit, aren't you the guy who did the gun animations in COD?

He also did in Insurgency

[pine hatch]

yoooooo

[tribal aspen]

[pine hatch]

and to what do we owe the honor of seeing such a legend in gamma?

[summer stream]

[tribal aspen]

Gamma uses some of the anims i did for insurgency and i think some of my source anims lol

[lilac idol]

yeah bas has some is ports

Thank you so much, I appreciate it. I haven't tried anything yet, but I did look earlier and I think I have an outdated version of painter of the zone, gonna try update it and see, and also try the mod you sent, I never saw that mod I was looking through moddb but I guess I just missed it

[drifting moat]

Came accross it by pure chance.

[verbal siren]

I didn't see any 3dss patches for this. ATHI released another SR-25 with a ton of optics: https://github.com/andtheherois/3DSS-SR25-PMC

Already have the pmc

Thanks for the updated link

[ancient gate]

how does one change the main menu video

[fathom wagon]

Soon ™️ ™️

Huge credit to Utjan for the "Tagged Patches" addon. I remembered that it allowed you to look at individual patches without needing to DLTX anything, so I re-purposed to code to do the same thing for meat. Ofc might need to see if it causes any issues for users of said mod.

I'll get more time to do some testing in the coming days just to ensure there are no major problems that might sneak up on me.

The logic that I have for the timer color:
Greater than 24hrs = white
Less than 24hrs but more than 12hrs = yellow
Less than 12hrs but more than 8hrs = orange
Less than 8hrs = red

Thank God that the time was stored in such a way that it was easy to convert into in-game hours

[drifting moat]

I almost started working on this 2 days ago.

[fathom wagon]

A2 asked me to look into it a while ago. Had it on the backburner until I got some free time and got bored lol

[drifting moat]

But then I remembered I had something much cooler in mind

[fathom wagon]

[drifting moat]

Will release it soon. I just need to work on it for a few more hours. Idk what day I'll have the time

[fathom wagon]

Looking forward to it. I'll hold off since I am pretty sure what you got in mind will be better than the quick code I whipped up

[drifting moat]

It's not for meat rotting

[next zinc]

How do I put 3DSS in mods that already exist, Im thinking about "3DSSing" the Phant0m's Tactical endgame weapons pack

[drifting moat]

I almost started the same mod as you, but then I remembered I had a completely different mod in mind.

So don't let me hold the relese up

[slow bolt]

Hmm. I'll wanna look at the code when you are done

This is something intereting to me

[drifting moat]

A very cool implementation would be to make them have condition that reflects freshness

But updating that for each item

Plus it would slow down UI load times even more

[fair pollen]

Check your DMs.

[azure bluff]

I want to store additional info in CGeneralTask (file: task_objects.script) when game is saved and load that state back when game is loaded. I'd like to do that in a way that doesn't carry the risk of corrupting saved games if my mod gets uninstalled and I want my modifications to be tolerant to missing data so that my mod can be added to existing savedgames.

You can see the class/file here: github.com/lulnope/more_info_in_task_popup/blob/master/gamedata/scripts/task_objects.script#L449

I see 2 sets of functions:
save/load(packet) - that packet arg name makes me think that this set of functions has something to do with networking
save/load_state(m_data) - the _state makes me think this is the set of functions responsible for saving state of the task into savegame files and therefore the function set I'm looking for.

Am I correct in assuming I should modify only save/load_state(m_data) functions to add new data to savegames? Any tips on what to avoid or watch out for when mucking about in savegame states?

[lethal dew]

Hello people. I just wonder about something and i want to ask your opinion about some debug items.
Today i was trying to test some different mods and i used the debug menu to spawn weapons armor and other stuff to check them out. I knew from my early steps in gamma that there are weapons that never appear in the base gamma like xm8, mdr tech desert walther sniper etc....(propably from some mods making overwrite things on another).

is there ANY WAY to also make them accessible into the game? (with no debug spawn cheat).

[misty mulch]

edit the npc loadout configs

[lethal dew]

can you direct me to the path that the file exists? and i'll see what i can do.

as i can understand what you suggest is to edit a file that changes the drops from the ncp's roaming the world somehow. but HOW? 😄

[undone spruce]

Adding modifier through the ltx and omf didnt stop the clipping, even if it got faster

My draw was also clipping, but modifiying speed worked

[misty mulch]

you may start here

like to be crystal clear: this is how I figured out how the modpack works. use the mod name search bar, figure out which mod seems responsible for modifying whatever thing I'm interested in, read the configs and scripts, and most importantly, read ALL the comments inside

[regal bolt]

Is there a way to make an npc stand still? For testing damage and stuff.

[random fulcrum]

no

only "way" to do this is to set the time scale to an extremely low number

and then modifying the weapon you're testing so that it has absurd fire rate, bullet speed, and magazine size

to compensate for the almost stopped game

[regal bolt]

ok thanks!

Is it possible to run the Monolith source with Gamma? https://github.com/themrdemonized/xray-monolith

[spring mango]

[frail grove]

is there a way to change weapon damage?

[regal bolt]

How do I get the list of compatible ammos (id) for a gun?

[azure bluff]

yes, i think x-ray monolith is actually required to run gamma but i might be wrong on that.

i play with x-ray monolith 2025.4.15 and the game works fine. Although the flashlight is like twice as bright for some reason for me after changing the exes.

[azure bluff]

I'm looking at file: StalkerGamma\mods\AlphaLion's Reworked Stash Quest and Map Markers\gamedata\configs\ui\pda_tasks_16.xml . This file seems to describe PDA tab from the screenshot. Is there any script tied to this .xml where logic of what happenes on button clicks and so on is described?

I'd like to add a button next to every task that opens additional window next to the task list.

[verbal siren]

In the weapon configs, look for this:
ammo =

[misty mulch]

gamma already installs a version of these. it's necessary for many of the mods in the pack to work.

[wary widget]

What im mostly interested in is: debugging the source code while Gamma runs. If Gamma already uses these exes then I guess it would be fine to run Gamma in debug mode and make source code changes right?

[misty mulch]

i gotta question the premise here

gamma is anomaly with ~500 mods balanced on top

if you're debugging the modded exes, surely the sane thing to do is to only run the modded exes

the modded exes aren't made for gamma, they just happen to facilitate many mods used in the pack

[azure bluff]

i don't know if that's possible but maybe he wants to debug GAMMA lua scripts which i imagine would still require access to .exe source code?

[drifting moat]

If what you want is: Using breakpoints in Lua code then I can say i'm pretty sure it's impossible

[drifting moat]

If you want to use breakpoints or edit engine code while running the game that's also impossible

Maybe not the engine breakpoints (I couldn't figure out yet how to) but altering engine code while it is running is not possible I'm afraid

[wary widget]

I want to make edits to the engine itself (C++), with those edits playable in Gamma (to simplify my question)

I guess my question is: is the link I provided the source code that's used to compile the engine specific to Gamma?

[drifting moat]

You then

• Edit the engine code
• Recompile the engine
• Plop your compiled engine to the anomaly folder
• Register the file through MO2
• Run and enjoy

Can be tricky at first, but once you learn/figure out how to do it it's just a bit time consuming (depending on hardvare).

But most of the time engine edits are not required for stuff. What are you trying to do exactly?

[wary widget]

There's a bunch of stuff; but right now I'd love to figure out why the heck my FPS starts becoming so bad after some time and try fix that in the core engine (although this might be a Lua VM issue itself)

[drifting moat]

Do you have experience debugging engines or performance? I won't be the guy to tell you not to try, but fair warning it might be a waste of a lot of time for nothing.

Best of luck to you!

[wary widget]

Appreciate the warning, I'm used to wasting my time for absolute nothing

[drifting moat]

At worst you learn a bunch of stuff, so actually you won't do it in vein

[azure bluff]

I'm bumping my own question: #╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

How do i modify the look and then behavior of PDA Tasks/Map Area tab? I cannot find any *.script files connected to that tab.

what about this file: StalkerAnomaly\tools\_unpacked\scripts\ui_pda_radio_tab.script ?

though for tasks tab i canno find any files even in the unpacked scripts from anomaly

[regal bolt]

Which script/config files responsing for the restriction/limit of quest mods for all fractions?

l want to edit them to can starting all 3 questlines for bandit or ISG, for example

[drifting moat]

How tf did I not find it previously

[nocturne night]

how can I add a gun to the npcs loadouts?

[gritty lichen]

is GAMMA Actor Damage Balancer the correct addon to edit if I'm looking to disable all damage to a specific bodypart on enemy NPCs?

[plain oxide]

can somebody explain how to install sss? https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/screen-space-shaders

it it included in the gamma? or seperate?

[azure bluff]

SSS is included in GAMMA i believe.

[plain oxide]

I saw grok putting an announcement of sss has improved

how can I get the change

[azure bluff]

have you tried updating GAMMA? https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/947083829066207282

[plain oxide]

#📢announcements message

[azure bluff]

i think GAMMA pulls newest mod versions from MODDB/Github automatically

[plain oxide]

alright so basically all I have to do is update gamma

?

[azure bluff]

i think so but i might be wrong, make sure your gamma instance is updated and report back if you can't get TAA to work despite the update

eh, i guess GAMMA uses version 20 of SSS so you need to install the update separately i guess.

i'd just install it with the same priority as SSS20 in GAMMA modlist and see if that enables that TAA feature

[plain oxide]

okay

I will try that

do i install it before the the one in gamma?

[static nebula]

What's a good distance for my firing sounds? And should I bother making the suppressed audio have a different distance?

[static nebula]

TAA is only available in a beta ver. of SSS I believe, which isn't publicly released yet

[celest forge]

I just copy the values of the vanilla sound files

Grab one normal firing sound and a suppressed one from vanilla, put them in the same folder than your sounds, copy, paste, save

Done

[azure bluff]

yeeee, don do that after all. The version in GAMMA is 22.1 so up to date

[plain oxide]

okay so just update

thanks

[static nebula]

fair enough 👍

[misty mulch]

that change is not public. you can only get it if you pay for beta access.

[misty mulch]

no, Actor Damage Balancer only handles damage that the player recieves

[misty mulch]

use DLTX to override npc loadout configs

dltx guide is in the pins here

as for npc loadouts, they are all in the mod called, appropriately, "GAMMA NPC Loadouts"

[nocturne night]

I see

thanks man

[gritty lichen]

any idea where should I look instead?

i basically want to disable all damage except for headshots

[misty mulch]

to be clear: disable all damage except for headshots when the player shoots the NPC, or when anyone including other NPCs shoots the NPC?

because those have different answers

[gritty lichen]

only on NPCs

[misty mulch]

i am aware the "target" is npcs. what about the source of the damage.

is the damage coming from the player, or from other npcs?

[gritty lichen]

oh, i misread that

the player

[misty mulch]

ok then yes go look at grok_bo.script in GAMMA Close Quarters Combat

there's a table of hitbox values. just make every single one of them 0 except for the head hitboxes (note: there are multiple head hitboxes)

[gritty lichen]

perfect, thanks

will have some fun with testing

[jade lotus]

In which of the configs are the starting points changed when creating a character ?

[gritty lichen]

if i remember correctly: new_game_loadouts.ltx
can't remember where exactly it's placed

[gritty lichen]

worked right off the bat

[misty mulch]

go check the mod "GAMMA Starting Loadouts"

you can get a lot of mileage out of simply searching the modlist for the names of things.

[jade lotus]

thx

[reef crescent]

Has anybody tried CPUAffinity?

[jade oxide]

depends if that is an actor sound, npc sound, and if it's a layered reflection sound or not (close, medium, far).

2 choices : compare sounds in audacity or any audio software for volume and "tone" of the sound and if similar enough, copy / paste comments in new file

• or OPTION B : you created / added a different kind of sound, custom volume gain / attack / fade / tail sound and you want a practical result IN GAME. Then it's more complicated : get dust fakestart mod map, spawn a dude, give him the weapon you want to test (spawn a newbie loner rank 0 and give him the rifle, if it's a pistol, he ain't gonna use it, slap sounds & rpm config in a rifle, and use the rifle as a placeholder)

make urself invincible, give him the gun, shoot his feet with a makarov, and go in the console, demo_record 1, and go slowly away from the camera. Make sure to turn on the crosshair + distance display, and move away from the actor / npc and see how sounds evolve upon distance.

From experience I find it easy to underestimate max distance, so sounds quickly fade away too much.

[misty mulch]

a q for a place like #╓☢stalker-chat or #╟🔰☢newbies-chat and not the "making mods" channel

[reef crescent]

thanks.

[olive canyon]

anyone tried adding NZK quests to gamma yet ?

[azure bluff]

so apparently some of PDA tabs are fully dependent on engine code and that's why i cannot find any code for Area Map/Tasks tab.

at least that what Anomaly discord told me

[drifting moat]

Yes that's what I meant by this. I was just in a hurry and forgot to mention the most important part xdd

[drifting moat]

U can trust whatever Lucy says. Has a fair bit of experience with the engine

huzzah, the first crash

i found the issue, it's because im stupid 👍

[lofty path]

Hmmm.. I have this issue with my Ak-12. Would anyone point me in a direction to fix that?

[lilac idol]

yeah get draggable hud editor

[lofty path]

Do I need to enable debug mode to use it?

[lilac idol]

yeah

[thorny hull]

Hey i want to change some of the starting stuff you can chose for mercs how can i do it or can i even do that

[misty mulch]

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

[rough lion]

Where can I add normal text for custom spawn locations in new game?

[lofty path]

After changing things with draggable hud editor, where do I save these changes? I tried in a file I found called w_ak12.ltx, but the game doesn't pick up on the changes. Like I'm not putting them in the right place.

[slow bolt]

Changes are saved in cache.dbg file

you open it and copy the lines into the weapons's ltx or make a new dltx mod with those new positions

[lofty path]

Right. I was able to make the changes apply now. Now I got one last issue

[slow bolt]

now align the sight

[static nebula]

Does the 1p76 sight normally spawn ingame? Is the model on the Saiga 12 usually broken or did I somehow mess something up

the normals are all screwed up in blender, and recalculating them doesnt really help

[lofty path]

Does someone know what I have to change in the draggable hud editor to change the sight position? I can't find it

Additionally, I found out the source of the problem, it's a mod in gamma called AK-12 reanimation that does that. I turned it off and my scope is straight like all the other guns. Which is easier to aim through, but I'm wondering if that weird canting isn't done on purpose. Maybe the weird canting is a more realistic way to cant your gun than having it perfectly flat? Still not sure if it's done on purpose or a bug.

[static nebula]

ok so literally just exporting and reimporting the model causes the normals to do this lol? has anyone else had a similar issue before that might know what's up

i swear BAS is held together by ducttape and staples i have no idea how they screwed up a mesh so badly

[fading hazel]

im trying to add items on traders, but adding it to medic and technician doesnt seem to show
do i have to search the trade folder and add the items directly one by one?
there are lots of files lel

the item i want to add is syringe so i can buy them if i need
i dont want to dismantle meds

i guess also the plastic jar

[static nebula]

so instead of just setting the material to be two-sided, they literally duplicated the entire mesh and inverted the normals, holy shit

[static nebula]

which files are you modifying? it's possible that theyre being overwritten by another mod

[fair inlet]

use an inject script, like the coffee addon

[fading hazel]

problem is
i dont know how

[fading hazel]

was trying to add them manually
from a mod that adds the ammo parts to technician
i tried adding manually thr metal scrap and it works
but other items such as syringe doesnt seem to appear

i tried reverse engineering by looking at the trader folders and their respective files, but i cant seem to add them to generic traders, like petrenko and sidov

[regal bolt]

how to separate gun and knife weapon types?

[celest forge]

Wdym

[regal bolt]

so i'm trying to spawn ammo based on weapons in the player's inv.

1. I'm using IsWeapon which I believe includes knives so "knife ammo?" is also being created.
2. I don't know how to exclude old ammo.

[regal bolt]

nvm I got it

[novel ruin]

indoor gunsound generator preview: generate indoor gunsound by adding reverb to existing one. Ingame script + python script

[jade oxide]

nice, more progress 🙂 @novel ruin
is it still relying on loading gun configs for indoor ? sometimes just adding a reverb effect does not quite give the real effect you would expect...
I did a few gunshot indoor sounds tests using reverb only audacity, I find it better to reuse my shooting sample, fade the tail, use a custom recorded indoor tail sound and apply reverb only on the trimmed discharge sound, then merge with the recorded indoor tail effect.
Also any news regarding adding indoor to handling sounds, and other scripted sounds ? 🙂

[lilac idol]

yeah this is just bas ports quality

also for doing sights make sure to grab the model from PRS

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1342340126952394832

if you're adding vanilla sight models you don't have to change anything

[novel ruin]

I made this as a back up indoor sounds, it use a separate config parameter, so if there is another mod that add indoor gunsound, it will automatically get overwriten

While custom sounds will be better, its sometimes doesnnt blend with the outdoor one as well. And configing every single weapon is pretty tedious

Added explosion sounds on the engine side now, doesnt test it yet.

[jade oxide]

I see
i can reverse engineer what outdoor tail sounds works best with indoor

reverb processing parameters configurable ?

maybe custom sounds can be only triggered upon going past a certain threshold

and transition sounds (only reverb engine processing) left for intermediate values (transition)

0 → 0.4 : outdoor
0.4 → 0.7 : reverb engine
0.7 → 1.0 : add custom layers (more dramatic indoor tail, overlapping with reverbed indoor from intermediate threshold, but quite louder so it blends well)
you get the idea ?

[novel ruin]

Yea, there is alr a threshold config in the framework. And the tail part can be made better.

Because we have raycast, we can get a general idea of the room size, and depend on that to add the tails

Planned but i need more testing sample first, so i made the generator

[jade oxide]

yeah and you can have presets for small room (dry, quickly cut tail), medium size, large room, hangar...etc, but it's rather dependant on the precision of the ray cast

[novel ruin]

Its configable but no in real-time, only when you generate them

[jade oxide]

you need anything ?

[novel ruin]

Eax alr do this. Tho been broken for a while, i like to stick to raycast because its programmable, and i like programming

[jade oxide]

some people went to fixing EAX but all projects doing that got dropped

[summer stream]

it wont help
you select the ones which are red only

[jade oxide]

there was even a quite old mod named radium which had advanced reverb indoor system

[summer stream]

but otherwise just get a new model

[jade oxide]

but author went mad and deleted everything

[novel ruin]

Lmao, look like me

[jade oxide]

: @

your mod has ton of potential, and even basic indoor, let alone the room size preset thing, would be huge upgrade and immersion

[novel ruin]

I will try my best to make raycast better, but for now we need adoption

[jade oxide]

to me it's like 3DSS in terms of breakthrough xD

[novel ruin]

Eeh, it can be 2x times better if xray didnt have a volume limit for gunsound

[jade oxide]

wdym

[summer stream]

https://tenor.com/view/breaking-bad-hank-hank-schrader-hank-realizes-realization-gif-780015897459211565

it has a limit

for amount of sounds

you can set

inside the file related to guns, movement, jump and other stuff

i dont remember the exact one

[novel ruin]

The sounds played in a media player vs the sounds played in game is very different, and not very good in game

[summer stream]

also true

xray processes it in a different way

which can result in kinda strange ways

[jade oxide]

i don't really agree on that

[summer stream]

or not even playing at all

[summer stream]

sir i fucked for 4 hours because of one sound not playing

[jade oxide]

it's not 100% but it's like 98-99% accurate to me

[summer stream]

this is how dogshit sometimes it can become

but otherwise it HAS a limit on that

[jade oxide]

you just don't know how to soundmod the game :keka: or made the newbie mistake of wrong frequency or path in config xD

happens to me all the time

[novel ruin]

Idk, the sound i generated have a lot more punch than when it played ingame, its very clear there is some volume limit

[summer stream]

i dont even touch sounds

im more of a model guy

https://tenor.com/view/indifference-bykov-intenry-lunch-food-gif-11892346

[jade oxide]

i have never had that tbh

maybe it's just your game volume not set to 1.0

[summer stream]

the bass can sometimes fuck it up

i had that sometimes

[novel ruin]

Its one, i tried to crank the volume in the engine code up but still no use, the indoor sounds not getting louder

[jade oxide]

ok you are talking about a different thing

you have two options

edit sounds and make them digitally louder

re export sounds

depends on how you make your master sound don't get too cocky and overclip already clipping sounds (like 99% of dark signal or JSRS audio)

also depends on your audio gear

[novel ruin]

No it still have a limit, i tried

[jade oxide]

second possibility : lower all other game sounds (about 36 000 ogg sounds last time I check about a year ago) and reexport them with a dB lower gain

[jade oxide]

then you have some sort of hardware or idk issue specific to you because trust me it works xD

trust me, not intending to give a pun but, i've been modding this mod / game for like 8 years it always work xD

the only thing that is fucked though is the ogg comment system

i suspect the base sound volume not being linear between 0 & 1

also it does not work above 1 (i see people putting above 1 it's just useless)

[summer stream]

you just need to MANUALLY make it louder

[jade oxide]

also doesn't work on stereo sounds (always played max sound volume)

[summer stream]

via audacity

[jade oxide]

that's exactly what I said before.

i never ogg comment base sound volume it's always 1 or 2 (but in the end 1) and only rely on digital data on audacity

that's why when I first tried once to make a soundmod lowering all non gunshot or gunshot tail sounds in gamma, I quickly dropped the idea of changing comments

i batch re-exported all sounds with a specific gain decrease

and slapped back initial comments

[novel ruin]

hm ok i will try to crank it

[novel ruin]

also how do you do that

[jade oxide]

the only instance I had (and i don't explain it, because i don't care at this point) are some very specific gun sounds from some video games from which you could give them +5 dB or + 18, wouldn't change damn thing, but it's pretty rare

[jade oxide]

audacity macro, import files, amplify minus X decibels, batch export ogg quality 10 in output folder

but the commenting part & folder browsing was manual.
if I was to redo that I would use python and some libraries to browse files for me, organize stuff, and use sav&T to read / reassign proper comments

but i'm thinking maybe ffmpeg can do that

for lowering audio volume without changing EQ

[novel ruin]

well im using pedal board, its can do that better

[jade oxide]

as long as you find ur tool

if you want some audio, I made and released some indoor sounds, hidden in the gamedata files of https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/vanilla-g3-g3sg1-reanimaton-10

look for "gamedata\sounds\weapons\g3\stereo\if_you_are_curious" folder. I made sounds for first shot "g3_indoor_single" but the snd_shoot_actor_first_indoor isn't supported yet so you can use "g3_indoor_unsuppressed_medium_room_single_stereo1.ogg" up to XXX_stereo6.ogg" in layer. Or alternatively compare how the non indoor sounds with just the engine reverb audio processing thing you made.

I also made a version for outdoor with a much more intense tail sound, i think i haven't included these, lemme know if you want to try them though

[novel ruin]

alr thanks

[jade oxide]

lemme know if you need anything

[barren crown]

how would i edit a weapons config file to use the inspect animation as an ammocheck animation

this is the inspect for the weapon in question

[static nebula]

yeah, i figured out that the issue was pretty much every face on the mesh was doubled, which wasnt playing nice with the exporter i guess lol

[misty mulch]

this isn't something you can do in config file edits, you would have to modify the scripts that add ammo check as a feature to the game

[barren crown]

oh okay

[verbal siren]

Nah, man. Just replace the animation and sound names in the config.

[random fulcrum]

bones in the animation should match with the bones on the model being displayed or else the game will crash

you can't do what you just recommended with like 99.9% of weapons that aren't the vanilla anomaly ones

[verbal siren]

Was that to me? I do this with all my weapons that don't have ammo check animations. 100% success so far. The ammo check script plays the anm_ammo_check and if it doesn't find it, it plays the hide/show anims. If you write in the config that the weapon has the anm_ammo_check, put a reload anim there, it will play the reload anim when you check the mag. Example:

![wpn_tavorx95_j9mm]
    scripted_snd_ammo_check            = weapons\tavorx95j\tavorx95j_reload
    scripted_snd_ammo_check_empty        = weapons\tavorx95j\tavorx95j_reload
    
![wpn_tavorx95_j9mm_hud]
    anm_ammo_check                = tavorx95j_reload9mm, reload
    anm_ammo_check_empty            = tavorx95j_reload9mm, reload

[celest forge]

https://tenor.com/view/strelok-pointing-gif-16624760617714642893

[verbal siren]

You should've done it yourself tbh.

[celest forge]

Don't use ammo check

I use an ammo counter like any sapient primate would

[fair canopy]

That's not the same as what momo is saying

You're saying replace the animation with any other animation from that gun. Seems he thought you meant replace the animation with another animation from a different gun via only ltx edits

[verbal siren]

Different gun? Of course, that wouldn't work.

[fair canopy]

Most likely won't*

still cant make any trader to sell syringe

i cant just make a file
then have it like this?

![supplies_1]
e_syringe = 10,1

on the trade folder or rather make my own mod with the same file structure with the trade folder

[misty mulch]

no. DLTX requires that the files have a specific filename in a specific folder location, spell out what you've done, otherwise no one can help you with your homework mod

like you gotta show us your work in progress mod so we can check the file location and name

easiest thing to do is just zip up your mod folder and upload it here

[ebon ginkgo]

If I wanted to change the font for the booster timers, how would I do that?

[fading hazel]

i see

wait

[fading hazel]

i want to know what else is missing
do i need to specify what trader or can i make the generic traders sell the item i want to add

[fading hazel]

coz there was a mod that adds ammo parts to technician so i just copied it, and just made a new file with the same structure as the one in the mod organizer, but it doesnt work
i was able to add metal scrap and plastic jar to technician but somehow i dont know what trader can make syringe a buyable item

[azure bluff]

assuming i have object_id of a stash, how can i find out if it's "active" (marked on the map & with loot inside) or not?

i think i know now... I have to have the id of the stash before it get looted and i need to RegisterScriptCallback("actor_on_item_take_from_box", function(box) DO SOMETHING HERE end)

[drifting moat]

There's a file called font.ltx in the unpacked anomaly files. You can see all available fonts there, but they are actually referenced by a different name. When I checked all available fonts I had to peek at engine code too to get the exact names they were referenced by. I'm pretty sure they're mapped somewhere in Lua too though.

Then you would need to find the XML that describes those booster UI elements. This might be hard because I think they're created dynamically.

[unkempt rivet]

There should be a way to combine these two helmets into one

[drifting moat]

There is.

[analog blade]

LOL

[unkempt rivet]

sure but to write that I would first have to stop playing the game

I do need to learn Lua though

[analog blade]

Excuse me people, what I need if I want to use Skills Expansion 2.1?

[unkempt rivet]

Would it be unbalanced to turn two light helmets into a medium one? ACH-7EX basically looks like a combination of the two.. sort of

[steady apex]

combine them in paint.net

[quasi narwhal]

well i mean, can't you just really combine them with paint.net and create a new game item via ltx?

unless you really want to get rid of the 2 original ones, then it's a bit more complicated

[drifting moat]

Yeah I think he meant to combine them with crafting

[quasi narwhal]

yeah i think in that case he could still add it as an item, then make it only available in a crafting recipe (not autoinjected on traders)

would just need to check how to add new crafting recipes and it should work

not sure if bro wants them dropping on npc loadouts and shit though

Hi everyone!
I have a question for any modders who are savvy with Blender. My girlfriend is taking an exam in Unity and wants to use Blender, and I know this is way off-topic, but I've been a part of this discord for a while, I know you modders here are very talented, and this is where I feel the safest to ask for help.

If anyone who has Blender experience, has 15 minutes to sit in discord with her, please reach out.

Thank you,

[misty mulch]

there root file is not called trade_generic, so your DLTX is modifying nothing, so nothing will happen
e: you also completely forgot to name your dltx file

[misty mulch]

time to study up, reread this section of my guide. you have MULTIPLE roots, either trade_generic_mechanic or trade_generic_medic. https://github.com/veerserif/gamma-dashboard/blob/main/dltx_guide.md#what-is-a-root-file-and-why-is-it-important

[unkempt rivet]

I'm not going to add any models, I was just thinking about adding an upgrade kit that, when used, turned the two headgear into a new one... but uh, what's the point? Its light armor. Being able to turn 2 light armor into a medium armor piece is just bypassing advanced tools; which I don't like.

[fading hazel]

i also tried adding it on the trade_generic_mechanic and trade_generic_medic, but the syringe doesnt seem to be added

[misty mulch]

did you give your dltx file a name as well? it should be mod_trade_generic_mechanic_someNameHere.ltx

[ebon ginkgo]

Well I know maingame.xml is the one that controls the appearance of the boosters, but the trouble is that HUD Icons Time doesn't make any changes to that file. It only contains a script

[fading hazel]

oh so i can make the file name mod_trade_generic_mechanic_syringe.ltx ?

im still learning how to make my own so im still confused with this things

or rather, add items to traders so i can buy them if i need be

[ebon ginkgo]

And I tried adding lines to specify the font in the boosters section, but it didn't do anything.

[misty mulch]

yes. again, go read the link I sent you.

[misty mulch]

i will tell you though, for whatever reason, i have never been able to alter medics' sell inventories.

[fading hazel]

ill try again
if it works, i guess i figured it out

atm im waiting for this emission on my game to end first then save then make the file

[misty mulch]

...never alter mod files while your game is running.

[fading hazel]

i am not
i need to save then quit then make the file

[misty mulch]

ok good

[fading hazel]

what happen if i did? just wondering

did someone did it while game is running

aight hope this works
firing up the game again

[fading hazel]

btw i already tried adding the syringe on mechanics, forgot to tell
coz i have a mod that adds ammo parts, and i just included it and it doesnt seem to appear but metal crap and plastic jar appeared

im now testing if it will appear in medics

aight it works
medic now sells syringe

lets gooooo

thank you brother
was finally able to add this shit

[misty mulch]

best case scenario, it crashes. worst case scenario, corrupted game file, entire save and/or installation needs to be deleted and reinstalled

[drifting moat]

Idk about .ltx files but .script and .xml files I always modify while game is running. It's actually fine those won't take effect until you reload a save

[misty mulch]

i'd much rather scare them into the habit of not fucking around with modding while the game's up

mo2 locks when you run the exe for a reason

and if homie doesn't know EXACTLY how to do it, the chances of breaking shit is exponentially higher

[azure bluff]

eeehh, but feedback pace is much higher on running game

and you learn from mistakes

[misty mulch]

given what codefluff up there is saying, they're just playing on their normal regular save

not a testing save

although, i mean, if y'all think i should not warn people away from doing potentially dangerous shit, that's quite easy

[drifting moat]

Nono you're right

[azure bluff]

nah, let the world burn. in fact stoke the fire.

actively tell them to delete *.dll files and so on

[misty mulch]

perhaps i will downgrade to "don't futz around with mods if you're playing on a save you care about"

@lilac idol thoughts

[lilac idol]

i think you should shoulder it after pulling the mag out and keep it there until the new mag is drawn

so instead of this, pull it to the right and tilt it a tiny bit more

maybe add some roll to the right if the pose looks better with it

[celest forge]

Like so?

[lilac idol]

add more tilt and pull the weapon closer

i would also suggest reducing the tilt during mag-in and move the weapon upwards instead

[celest forge]

Sent the same shit twice

I'm tarded

[lilac idol]

i think itkinda falls into the issue where these 2 poses are really similar, you should exagerate the shouldering more

[celest forge]

Ok I think this is pretty ok, no?

https://youtu.be/kfmpHw_2VL8?si=wNS1Yilyj2WEZ2aw&t=31 Compared to the old one

[drifting moat]

Felt like the reload was a bit lackluster for the old kne

[lilac idol]

i think it needs more struggle for mag-in as well as a better hand pose for inserting the mag

[celest forge]

Guys, how do I change prices specifically for guns and armour? I wish I could make it profitable. That's stupid (for me, please dont argue about that) that they pay 1\10 of the price they ask for a gun

I wish I could rebalance economy as I see fit

In what specific file do I find smt like this?
wpn_beretta = 0.7, 0.2
that's a selling price coefficent

[azure bluff]

....but gamma doesn't allow selling guns at all so what are you up to exactly there?

[celest forge]

For Black Market I assume

[azure bluff]

ah, i see

[lilac idol]

idk how to put it into words

[random leaf]

Black Market. I just roleplay as a technician

[random leaf]

If I decode game files, will the game run or perform worse?

[azure bluff]

by decode you mean unpack?

i think you should unpack them outside of the game folder

so then they do not influence the perfomance because they're not executed

then you write mods based on those files and install the mthrough mo2

[ebon ginkgo]

Figured out the font change thing finally! It was actually simpler than I thought

[celest forge]

[lilac idol]

yeah I think that will work

I think you've gotten better lately ngl

[celest forge]

Thanks to your advice

[drifting moat]

Glad you did.

[ebon ginkgo]

Thanks. Yeah I didn't know before, but there are functions specifically designated to pull each of the fonts that come with Anomaly, and you just need to do a SetFont() call for the corresponding font function you want

[summer stream]

basically one of these cod reloads

where the character is struggles to load in mag

missing to put it in hole, etc

[random leaf]

I can't find \gamedata\config\misc\trader_generic_buy

[drifting moat]

Did you unpack the db files?

[random leaf]

Not yet. I already gave up XD

[drifting moat]

That should be like step 0 when you decide you want to start modding

You'll find most of the stuff you need there amongst the unpacked files

[serene forum]

how can I change weapon animations

[verbal siren]

wdym?

[serene forum]

weapon holding, reload etc
I want change these

[brisk whale]

I'm really curious. Did no-really-body make Flares? Regarding the fact they even were to be in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. originally (Clear Sky)? https://stalker.fandom.com/ru/wiki/Осветительная_шашка

And nobody got such an idea ever? That's just odd

[random fulcrum]

ghentuong had made one like 2 years ago but it's no longer on moddb for whatever reason

[rough lion]

The closest thing we got are glowsticks

[random fulcrum]

ah he deleted it because it got merged into a bigger mod

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/gt-urban-tactics

@brisk whale

[rough lion]

Ah yes, flares that you can shoot from UBGLs or as traps

[worthy mortar]

wtf this looks like ai generated it

[random fulcrum]

it looks like a cursed cry of fear

skinwalker cry of fear

[summer stream]

this cry of fear is not my cry of fear

[brisk whale]

Why cursed xD Ye, redacted CoF screenshot. Thinking about doing a true Stalker 2 screenshot concept-art.

[brisk whale]

Vasyanka bullshit

[random fulcrum]

i wouldn't dare call anything ghentuong has made as vasyan shit

dude's extremely creative

and only posts shit that pushes the limits of the engine

[brisk whale]

Dude, compare his anims to this

Like

kek

[summer stream]

still

maybe you can add the flare to that from other games?

and then animate it being ignited

[brisk whale]

Just pmed the dude who made this

So ye, maybe we will do that. However I'm a lot more interested in modding S2 obviously.

[summer stream]

go on, mod it

[brisk whale]

So gonna take it as a "training"

[summer stream]

it supports more stuff than anomaly

just by considering the fact that
these platforms are like decades old

yes anomaly is very moddable
yes it has a lot of benifits of what u can do without knowing anything

at the same time S2 is just an UE5 bullshit
where you just mod some simple stuff as mod_system_randomshit

[brisk whale]

kek

calm yourself, anomaly fan

[summer stream]

you think i'm an anomaly fan

[brisk whale]

Once S2 SDK is released, everything previous is just gonna be an old-era, n u know that.

[summer stream]

who tf cares

S2 itself is just ass

[brisk whale]

nope

[slow bolt]

bruh

S2 cope

[summer stream]

https://tenor.com/view/j-o-r-g-e-gif-1785865943195498080

[slow bolt]

Anyway, not the place for S2 shilling

stalker 2 zone is two blocks down

[brisk whale]

didn't say "its ideal, nothing to improve", so dont understand where do you see the cope

[slow bolt]

Now you are banished to stalker 2 category

[brisk whale]

[slow bolt]
