Quick question, if i wanted to make a voicelines mod for myself, i would just need to swap up the audio files, right?

Can any shader 3D scopes editor user, teach me how to save the reticle colors permanantly please ?

#

I want to change the nightforce reticle to red

#

I did it with the editor and clicked apply but it doesnt save, everytime I change levels it comes back to black

In Anomaly/gamedata/configs/cache_dbg.ltx the edit lines you need are there, you just need to add them to an LTX file

Hey everyone,
I'm honestly surprised there's no seasons mod. There is some mods that already includes all the "seasons" like Project inverno, or the C consciousness grass, but nothing that brings them together. Maybe it's an engine limitation?

dawn token
north helm
#

I can try, but I am totally noob when is related to mods.

summer stream
#

How do you even force it to use a different texture while in-game?
(Simple answer : you can't.)

north helm
#

Yeah, that’s why I’m starting to think it might be an engine limitation. I’ve never seen anything like that in the game before.

summer stream
#

It can be used for ltx files to be loaded mid-game if you made slight changes, but not for textures.

#

Why?
Because textures are loaded into ram.

#

If you try to load more of those, it would result in memory leak.

#

If you need new textures, you would need to dump your RAM, then load in new textures.

summer stream
#

Re-write it fully.

#

Just so you can do such stuff.

north helm
#

Well, that makes sense. Thanks for saving me the time of trying to find a solution that isn't there.

Any nvg compatible PDA mods possible or already done?

#

Something like brightness going down when nvgs are toggled

faint sable
#

does anyone know if there is a guide explaining the details of a npc_loadout setup

#

primarily looking for info on the numbers and meanings behind them and what chances they give etc

image.png
celest forge
faint sable
#

so put simply it's like :
wpn_name_gun:0 means no attachments:6 means it gets 6 ammo:20 means 20% chance to spawn on npc?

#

like this here
wpn_vpo_136:r:3:30
would = random attachment, 3 ammo, guessing it means 30 ammo idk, and 30% chance

#

nvm that second number isn't amount, it's the type

#

so type 0 would just be the default ammo it uses right?

#

mostly confused on the ammo type meaning

misty mulch
misty mulch
misty mulch
faint sable
#

So more entries = the more likelyhood that gun is to spawn on a npc I suppose then?

misty mulch
#

generally yeah

#

but it makes calculating actual chances... tricky

faint sable
#

Yea I was thinking that too, seems tricky

misty mulch
#

granted the current loadout drop balancing does feel like " shrug let's jam a bunch of entries in and hope for the best "

faint sable
#

I see now

#

so if I did this, it wouldn't be exactly 15%, but guessing more closer to that number divided by the total number of entries, (though idk the exact number)

image.png
#

would I say if I counted all the gamma guns that drop, would that number suffice in a division score value?

misty mulch
faint sable
#

yea thought so

misty mulch
faint sable
#

hopefully gamma defaulted

misty mulch
#

k wait a sec

faint sable
#

since I made fwp based around gamma itself

misty mulch
# faint sable hopefully gamma defaulted

ok so the "defaulted gamma" system is the absolute easiest: it completely ignores the "chance to spawn" number, so the probability of getting a given gun is:
(nr. of times the specific gun is listed) / (nr. of guns in specified loadout, including inherited guns)

#

in your ![freedom_master_primary] the % to spawn the wpn_amxc, assuming it doesn't already exist in [freedom_master_primary], is:
5 / total number of entries in [freedom_master_primary]

faint sable
#

so the total number of entries within freedom_master_primary is / by the 5 entries I put for the amxc correct

misty mulch
#

76 = tot. number of weapon entries in freedom_master_primary + stalker_master_primary (which freedom_master_primary inherits from)
5 = the 5 wpn_axmc entries
1 = ace52 config injection

faint sable
#

Thanks for the help, now I should be able to make my guns spawn more

drifting moat
#

Where is the loot of stashes/stalkers the player killed calculated? I mean the stuff that is calculated when the inventory is accessed like: Gun part conditions, Armors dropped etc

random fulcrum
#

parts roll is inside wpo somewhere

#

check the savescum script to see where the other rolls happen

#

i think i got every loot rng call in that script

drifting moat
#

death_manager.script looks suspicious

random fulcrum
#

except for parts roll

#

yeah death_manager has a lot of them

drifting moat
#

Vanilla anomaly has weapon parts condition too. Maybe he didn't overwrite the vanilla stuff?

#

Okay. Didn't know it was weapon_eval_parts. Thanks!

image.png
random fulcrum
#

since weapons parts still rolled at random with that script

#

outfit parts too even though i still patched the seemingly only function that took care of that?

#

it was weird

#

well anyways i have a bounty on that script since it has one fatal flaw

#

some seeds (npc ids) randomly generate loot pinatas

#

consistently so, of course

#

but i just couldn't figure out why it was the case

You export it as an omf just like the weapon anims

undone spruce
#

oh, not the omf, but the skls

as for now what im doing is
using firebreath rig, importing the gun ogf, setting lead_gun copy transform from wpn_body, and animate
baking the hands animation to inherit the lead_gun motion and exporting to skl
making another blender project with the gun and some hands ogf imported them exporting as omf

you do it the same way

Gonna re ask this here. Im looking to change the THAP model for the Merc ACE. I can't stand the way it looks now. I've messed around in the config a bit but have been unsuccessful. Anyone that can point me in the right direction? I'd appreciate it

misty mulch

#

ACE is merc_ace_outfit right? Idk the name of the visual model I wanted to change it to yet but I was thinking about the one the Hybrid suit uses

misty mulch
#

you can find out from the debug item spawner

#

merc_ace_outfit & hybrid_outfit

misty mulch
#

Ok wait a moment

misty mulch
random fulcrum
#

also did you find anything regarding the loot pinata thing

heavy cipher
misty mulch
#

that basically tells the game "for the merc_ace_outfit item, change the player_hud_section to use actor_hud_merc_seva". and actor_hud_merc_seva, you will notice, is the player_hud_section that merc_scientific_outfit uses, it's like... four entries below merc_ace_outfit in the same file

ahhh that's why it wasn't doing anything. I was editing the ini in 375 - THAP Re-work - Max_im16 but ofc it was being overwritten. Thank you so much

You added a line that includes anotger .ltx file to the one you were editing. Delete that line and the problem will be resolved. For the other problem that you were trying to solve this way needs another solution

but if you're NOT using the mod and are instead doing your own ltx edits, time to hunt through them.

Say for example you have one song on your PDA radio and an emission hits. Do you need 2 audio files of the song? One that plays normally and one with distortion layered over the song for emissions?

Would a player choice β€œgame ending” be something interesting or doable? I think it would be cool to β€œescape the zone” or finally leave to put an actual end on a run, right now once ur done ur just done and the save sits there… I think it would be cool to properly have an end to a run

#

well tbh if you open your entire MO2/mods folder in Cursor it can get pretty accurate with the boilerplate code

#

yes even on Anomaly wow

#

but it won't code a whole ass feature nor it will have game engine knowledge

#

but if you also include the unpacked shit in there it's okayish

misty mulch
#

the mag just looked funky
I had [it] make a fake one

#

but that's the problem i'm seeing: novice user thinks the "problem" is that "i crash out on launch". the REAL problem is "I am missing a model file for something I added to the game"

#

the proper response to that is "well redownload and reinstall the mod that was supposed to provide it"

#

not "well let me make the confident lying robot make a dummy .ogf file so that it's still busted, just not in a way that causes an instant crash, in a way that i have no way of predicting how it'll interact"

Anyone have an idea how difficult it would be to add more enemy PDA texts?

#

Like when you pick up a PDA off of a dead stalker and hit view, have ideas for a lot of better texts there

#

Theres only a couple there rn so they just repeat the same shit over and over

misty mulch
#

hmmmmmmm. the actual strings themselves, probably just hidden in an xml somewhere. and the script for displaying it is relatively easy to find (and therefore you don't have to dig through one million folders to try and understand how the system works)

#

by which i mean the script is, i think, dynamic_news_manager_patch_dmg.script

drifting moat
#

Yeah it is probably super super easy to do so.

misty mulch
#

as for the xml you could just find in file across all *.xml files to match against a snippet of the existing pda texts

#

wait i think i found that once upon a time when i made my "no more freedom bloodsucker joke" mod

#

text\eng\st_dynamic_news.xml

#

i dunno if there's anything else ass about that system though

#

like, loading screen tips seemingly have a variable that determines how many loading screen tips the game will actually recognize?

#

loadscreen.script. note that gamma actually has way more than 101 entries in the loadscreen xml but get fucked ig

local tip_count = 101

function get_tip_number(level_name)
    math.randomseed(os.time())

Hey quick question, how does Grok make the weapons not be sold by traders, like if you try to sell a weapon, the trader won't take it no matter what, been trying to set it up for fwp weapons but not sure how

misty mulch
#

and yes it is just that ||grok added weapons,outfits_all to most trader profiles||

#

and of course has to therefore add every gun and gun+scope variant to the weapons section

#

gamma also generally overwrites all weapon trader injection scripts/configs with blank copies

faint sable
#

is there a way to make a custom one that doesn't touch the trade_presets.ltx or do I have to write it as the same

misty mulch
#

you'd just dltx the weapons section to add your entries

faint sable
#

i'll give it a shot then yea

misty mulch
#

or the relevant subsection [pistols], [rifles] etc

#

for weapons that use injection scripts, though, that method won't work I think

faint sable
#

yea none of my weapons use script injections

misty mulch
#

and you'd have to overwrite their sections w/ blank override a la all these 0B files

image.png
#

sorry - injection OR DLTX

#

i guess you could make an overwriting DLTX that deletes the entries they all add???

faint sable
#

well none of my weapons use mod_trade ltxs at all, I just don't want them to be sold really or be used as profit etc, just wanna remove the buy feature for traders to buy fwp guns off the player

#

would something like this work I suppose

image.png
#

and just write my gun names into the sections, then put the unused section as well?

random fulcrum
#

trade presets is a plugin no?

#

you shouldn't be overriding system if that's the case

faint sable
#

hmm

misty mulch
#

did you use LTXDiff to find the root or are you working on vibes

#

i have bad news

faint sable
misty mulch
#

...yeah i see why grok did a direct file overwrite

faint sable
#

so should I just use what grok has, but add my guns to the lists of pistols and rifles?

#

or no

misty mulch
#

well, what was the method you used initially to add guns to traders?

faint sable
#

I didn't add them to any traders, I based my weapons to be found just by npc drops only

#

I just don't want the player to be able to sell the weapons is all, since people complain it's op

misty mulch
#

could always just set the cost param of the guns to like 100

#

i think the only thing that would negatively affect is whether or not companions preferentially equip them

random fulcrum
#

you could just override the include ltx

misty mulch
random fulcrum
#

jesus

misty mulch
#

that's a base anomaly setup it seems

random fulcrum
#

got darn!!

misty mulch
faint sable
#

i'd have to write the sight/scope huds too right to make them not be sold

misty mulch
#

yup, you can see how every single gun+scope variant is listed in the gamma version

faint sable
#

gotcha thanks

misty mulch
#

the bad side effect is that you are now fucked if grok decides to add more guns (and therefore change trade_presets.ltx), but at least the updates aren't as frequent as they used to be

faint sable
#

Well I could just copy the new one, and just keep a copy of my edit and then paste my edits into the new one, but yea that'll suck

misty mulch
#

well, "fucked", you would have to reproduce the edits

faint sable
#

btw does the huds go by the actual hud name being sold, or by what the ltx is written for it

#

example the aimpoint_pro hud, mostly the ltx has it as pro_aimpoint

#

actually I'll probably just change the cost prices, how do I do that for the cost = 100, is it this line :

image.png
misty mulch
misty mulch
#

e.g. example from trade_presets wpn_usp_tac_aimpoint_pro

faint sable
#

I see, wish it could've been dltxed but i'll just make the cost 100

#

do companions pick up guns in favor of their cost in the ltx config?

misty mulch
#

they equip guns based on cost, highest cost wins. they just pick shit up

#

the workaround would be "use companion inventory unlock"

#

to be clear, it's possible there might be other side effects, i just know for sure about companion equip logic

faint sable
#

does the gun matter if it's in rifles or pistol section btw?

#

like if I added a deagle to the rifle section does it matter, or does it actually mean something

misty mulch
#

doesn't matter, but it makes it neater

faint sable
#

yea thought so

misty mulch
#

hypothetically you could create a profile that e.g. only rejects pistols or only rejects rifles

#

but one does not exist in gamma

faint sable
#

gotcha

# faint sable actually turns out you can just dltx it using mod_trade, just needed to add ever...

Oh wait I reread this. Yeah this IS using DLTX to patch every ltx file in the screenshot I showed. The root isn't trade it's trade_generic_barman and trade_generic_mechanic etc. etc. for a better explanation of what a root file is, please read my DLTX guide that's in the pins

And since you're patching in an #include statement, the file with your preset doesn't need DLTX naming (i.e. doesn't - and probably shouldn't - start with mod_). You can call it whatever you like.

possibly look at the functions in simulation_objects.script as well since that's where treasure_manager.script is getting its "only spawn stash locations near where the actor is standing" function

function box_in_same_map(id)
    local obj1 = alife():actor()
    local obj2 = alife_object(id)
    --return simulation_objects.is_on_the_same_level(obj1, obj2) or simulation_objects.is_on_the_linked_level(obj1, obj2)

Hey, @ me next time so i can reply. i didn't add anything to it, and this was a fresh install of gamma. i learned what an OGF file is because of chat, I have no idea how to create textures or files that function in that format though and I said that before hand. Regardless, I don't know what's causing the crash, this is a new install of gamma, and something is interfering with the rpk magazine causing this to crash. Do you know what it could be?

misty mulch
#

There is no evidence that anything is interfering with the magazine model - it is simply not present at all. So you start with trying to make sure you have it

#

The issue is that by going to chatgpt we now have absolutely no clue what it might have told you to do with your files, because as previously noted, it does not understand anomaly modding, much less gamma, and certainly not gamma troubleshooting

#

Therefore following it actually makes it harder for helpers to give you tech support.

Hello everyone!__

I accidentally pressed the letter "T" in the game and saw a gorgeous animation of removing a gas mask (helmet, mask, etc.). I immediately realized that it would be cool if gas masks had a filtration system (filters/air cylinders). I found a magnificent mod "Toxic Air". It has filters/cylinders, that without a filtration system β€” gas masks do not work and radiation contamination occurs. But also, it just has toxic air in locations. Which is not what I wanted. It's cool that there is toxic air in the "dungeons", but I don't really see the point in outside toxic air.

I dug the network and MCM settings and did not find a way to turn off the toxic air (the outside one), but at the same time leave the filter/cylinder consumption and protection when wearing a gas mask and the presence of a filtration system.

Perhaps someone here has a solution to this situation or someone can tell me where to start to make this "patch" myself. Thanks for any information.

# woven gale Hello everyone!<:__:1240954288541536296> I accidentally pressed the letter "T"...

so fyi, this is the "making your own mods" channel, not so much the "get help for mods i installed" channel.
that said Toxic Air is at this point very old, you can try this remake instead. https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/drunks-enhanced-toxic-air-152

However as I understand the entire point of Toxic Air is to make outdoor zones dangerous by making them toxic and requiring the filter system

woven gale
#

πŸ€” If think about it logically, then most likely in the script is a list of locations where it is indicated where the player will be damaged by toxic air. And there is a small chance that this can be done quickly and easily

it is entirely possible there is some sort of blacklist area system but you are gonna have to do the initial exploring, yeah

@cursive charm Hello boss I have failed to fix this issue for weeks now so I decided to finally let go and ask the source

My issue with ssfx_rain_hud_raindrops.script :

Mask rain droplets work properly only on weather cycles where rain_density = 0.5 or more

The minimum rain_density value in Hippobot's Atmospherics is 0.5, thus the script works flawlessly there

In my own cycles i use values ranging from 0.1 to 1 for the rain_density

If rain_density = 0.1 droplets never show up on the mask
If rain_density = 0.2 or more - droplets show up after about 30-40 seconds of standing in the rain

Tested on maxed out hud rain values in mcm, even increased the limit for the buildup value to 100 and tested like this, none of the mcm settings for hud rain seem to make any difference

Ideally, I would like for mask droplets to show up after about 3-5 seconds of standing in the rain no matter what the rain_density values is, as long as its bigger than 0

Changing rain_density values in my cycles to a minumum of 0.5 is not an option, since it would get rid of the subtle rain effect

How should I approach this?

Sincerely, tim99

Well it states what they are used for, 00 is for the pack itself, 01 enables 3dss, 02 enabled prs, 03 adds economy balances, 04 adds icons, 05 enables prs entirely which is needed for 02 to work and function properly

3dss is fancy scopes which give 3d and not 2d scopes, prs is parallax reflex sights which makes sights dots bit different

Then, you're in the incorrect place. The gas mask droplets are controlled by the script level_environment.script

No, the file ssfx_rain_hud_raindrops.script is to control raindrops on HUD elements like weapons, hands, tools, etc.

what do you mean by "plus" btw. literally +?

misty mulch

no script edits required

(you would then need to rebind your Mod Config Menu -> Mark Switch keybind to not be = but that's a secondary concern)

frozen roost
misty mulch
# frozen roost that didnt work

oh my bad you DO need to script-edit line 202
this function:

function on_key_release(key)
    if key == DIK_keys.DIK_F5 then
        token_redeemed = redeem_token(silent and campfire_saving)

        if token_redeemed then
            create_emergency_save()
        end
    end
end
#

unfortunately i don't know the dik_key code for = so

frozen roost
#

well then how do you change it to +

frozen roost
misty mulch
#

find out the dik.key code for = key and then change line 202 to reflect it

#

and also change your quicksave keybind to =. you know. for consistency

quasi narwhal
misty mulch
#

sick

#

i mean looking at this there's room to edit this to make it an mcm-able keybind ig

#

buuuut

misty mulch
# frozen roost instead

cool unga bunga ver courtesy Sickhowl above:

  1. change line 202 from if key == DIK_keys.DIK_F5 then to if key == DIK_keys.DIK_EQUALS then -- default is DIK_keys.DIK_F5

should be it. i think.

#

then the redeem_token() function will require you to hold shift and press the Equals key, which functionally means +

i forget if you can drop a save and reload it, but it's generally good practice to always close the game before you start fiddling around editing mod files

drifting moat
#

If you edit only .script files it's fine to just reload a save

frozen roost
drifting moat
#

If you add new files or edit XML you should restart the game for it to take effect. Funny enough in vanilla Anomaly you can edit XML files and just reload a save game for them to take efdect, but for some reason GAMMA doesn't work like that

misty mulch
#

Drag and drop the file into discord

frozen roost
misty mulch
#

did you save the file first?

#

before you restarted the game?

novel ruin
frozen roost
misty mulch
#

for the sake of the rest of the channel, here are the relevant functions from ish_campfire_saving.script

function on_key_release(key)
    if key == DIK_keys.DIK_F5 then
        token_redeemed = redeem_token(silent and campfire_saving)

        if token_redeemed then
            create_emergency_save()
        end
    end
end

function redeem_token(suppress_notification)
    local time_remaining = token_granted - time_global()
    local has_token = time_remaining <= 0

    if has_token and (key_state(DIK_keys.DIK_LSHIFT) ~= 0 or key_state(DIK_keys.DIK_RSHIFT) ~= 0) then
        return true
    end

    if not suppress_notification then
        send_notification(time_remaining)
    end

    return false
end
#

so i don't see how changing the second line to if key == DIK_keys.DIK_EQUALS then wouldn't work unless that's not the dik key code for equals

#

unless you put the comment in wrong possibly

frozen roost
#

I tried it again but the save time isn’t working

frozen roost
misty mulch
#

like to be clear, what i posted was NOT "put this in your file"

#

i removed a function in the middle because you shouldn't touch that one and it's not relevant to what we're discussing

frozen roost
#

only the second line like you told me

misty mulch
#

hmm. yeah can you save, upload the whole file again

frozen roost
misty mulch
#

hmm. should be fine. have you at least reloaded a save?

frozen roost
misty mulch
#

hmm. well then shrug . should be checking for you to release the key + you have a daddysave token + you have shift held + you are in a valid save location.

#

you have a token right

frozen roost
#

im in rostok and still doesnt work

frozen roost
misty mulch
#

yeah but you have a token right

#

daddysave (shift+f5) always requires a token

frozen roost
#

doesnt even notify me

regular saving is whatever your quicksave keybind is

frozen roost

always does

#

That is weird. Do you have your mod onhighest priority? Or do you edit the file that has the highest priority?

misty mulch
#

nothing overwrites this file

drifting moat
#

Then it's very weird it should work

frozen roost
#

im just gonna revert back to normal

misty mulch
#

just. to check. you ARE editing the file that is inside your GAMMA folder/mods/whatever the fuck the campfire save folder was called/gamedata/scripts yeah

There are 2 ways to alter already existing code.

  • Complete file overwrite
  • Monkey patching

Complete overwrite
You just copy paste the file (with it's original name) you want to alter to your own mod folder.
Here all you need to worry about is the load order (priority) of your mod to be higher than any other mods that overwrite the same file, but it is very bad for compatibility's sake especially if you just want to alter a function in a file that has a ton of other functions.

Monkey patch
Create a file with any name (more on this later as the name is very important when monkey patching).
From this file you can patch any other file's functions by doing this:

--[[
    Original function, just for the example's sake
function create_random_stash(no_spot, hint, bonus_items, spawn_local, inv_box)
    -- Search for a suitable stash
    local id, name, desc, hint = get_random_stash(no_spot, hint, spawn_local, inv_box)
    
    -- Generate hint
    local str = name
    if desc and hint then
        str = "%c[255,255,160,0]" .. name .. "\\n%c[default]" .. desc .. "\\n%c[160,100,100,200]" .. (hint or "")
    end
    
    -- Attach content
    if id then
        set_random_stash(no_spot, str, bonus_items, id)
    else
        printe("! ERROR create_random_stash | no server object for id (%s)", id)
    end
end
--]]

FunctionIMonkeyPatch = treasure_manager.create_random_stash
treasure_manager.create_random_stash = function (no_spot, hint, bonus_items, spawn_local, inv_box)

In this case only that one function (create_random_stash) will be switched out to your code. This is very good for compatibility with other mods.
Here load order doesn't matter, instead what matters is if 2 or more files overwrite the same function then the one that loads last wins, so if your patch file is called APatchFileForTreasureManager, but there is another mod that patches the same function has a name like this BestPatchFileForTreasureManager your code will be overwritten because these files are loaded in alphabetical order (that's what you asked yesterday about the Z stacking in file names).

#

i was somehow not aware that scripts were loaded alphabetically but also feel like a complete retard for not just guessing it was the case because that's how literally everything works

#

the more you know tho

fair canopy
#

You haven't seen z stacked scripts?

celest forge
#

Have you not seen z stacked scripts?

#

i have seen like 2 zz_ scripts before but didn't think much of it

#

no serial killer behavior tho

#

but okay so scripts are now ruined

If there's already a patch file doing it then you can't really do anything about it and need to just fall in line

rare sage
drifting moat
#

If the function is monkey patched even if you overwrite the original file your script's function will be monkey patched no matter what. You either create a monkey patch that wins the Alphabetical load order or you do a complete file overwrite of the monkey patch file and change the code there.

rare sage
#

perk-based artefacts has zz_treasure_manager_pba_less_artys.script but from what i can tell it doesnt overwrite anything

#

so i shouldddd be fine

random fulcrum
#

fuck brother i did not need to know this

#

it's an infohazard

#

i'm no longer sleepy

drifting moat
#

A good way to find conflicts with monkey patches is to do a search in the entirety of the gamma/mods folder. Look for .script files that contain the following code treasure_manager.<functionNameYouWantToPatch> if the search yields 0 results then you're good.
You can name your monkey patch file however you like and it will take effect. For this I use Total Commander <3, but any software with search capabilities will do

#

Starting off can feel overwhelming or confusing, but it's not that complicated honestly. Once you learn the ropes you can become a pro in no time

Damn on the 13th of next month I will have half a year of EXP modding stalker. Time flies by

i discovered this like 2 years ago

drifting moat
#

Where is the function you want to alter? What file and what's the name of the function itself?

rare sage
#

get_random_stash in treasure_manager.script

#

ive found box_in_valid_map

slow bolt
rare sage
#

yes

drifting moat
#

Long time no see

rare sage
#

id is a string

#

i think

drifting moat
#

Okay, so the function is not monkey patched in gamma

#

It is overwritten in G.A.M.M.A. Rare Stashes Balance

rare sage
#

yes

drifting moat
#

Here's where we want to apply additional blacklisting

rare sage
#

yep

#

im editing box_in_valid_map rn

drifting moat
# 
function box_in_valid_map(id)
    if blacklist_helper.ShouldBlacklistNorth() then
        additionalBlacklist = blacklist_helper.GetNorthernMaps()
    end

    local se_stash = alife_object(id)
    local lvl = se_stash and alife():level_name(game_graph():vertex(se_stash.m_game_vertex_id):level_id())
    --printf("%s Stash (%s) is in level: %s", blacklisted_maps[lvl] and "!" or "-", id, lvl)
    return (blacklisted_maps[lvl] ~= true and not additionalBlacklist[lvl])
end

This should do the trick.

So will we soon see the release of The Loot Can Wait? Chadge

if i implimented the code right

last attempt it crashed

wait no that shoiuldnt cause it

well lets see if it did

i dont think i had it in the file

but

#

i had some reference code from your qol pack in a second folder

drifting moat

That's probably fine I don't think it's read by the engine

deleteing said refernce code fixed the overwriting

Nah only if it has silly code

I stated this multiple times throughout this DC

i probably shouldnt have this include the grok stash overhaul code

wait

#

all anomaly players play gamma

this is fine

#

if it becomes an issue thats a later me issue

drifting moat
#

Wait where do you want to release this?

rare sage
#

i was just gonna post it on my gitlab

#

yaknow this mod deserves to be behind a $30 a month patreon /j

drifting moat
#

If on ModDb then you should either state that it is only GAMMA compatible in the name or make it compatible with Anomaly. My first mod I made for gamma and published on moddb and a lot of ppl downvoted it because I didn't state in the title that it's made for gamma and not compatible with anomaly

hi. who can write the name or send the icon file for the PDA? here's a photo of the badge I need. I tried to find it on my own, but it didn't work out.

image.png
#

or does anyone have any idea where this PDA icon file might be located?

undone spruce
#

Should be in the ui_inventory atlas texture

#

Or is it ui_equipment.dds

main plover
#

I am starting to pull my hair out can't include one ammo from arti into ammo overhaul all other types work well only one .357 doesnt appear in crafting menu ffs

#

All ammo types just needed adjusted recipes but one of them just refuse to appear in crafting table reee

#

I missed comma pepew

green topaz
# undone spruce ui_icon_equipment.dds

Thank you. this is a large list of icons. I would like to easily find a separate PDA icon and use it for my own purposes, as I also do not have the opportunity to open dds files.

#

thanks for the help anyway)

undone spruce
#

you can copy it and extract to a new image file normally

rare sage
undone spruce
#

if you need to actually use the icon ingame, you'll just need the ui texture declaration and its atlas location

misty mulch
#

also arti's ammo crafting system is different to basegame craft.ltx

#

i think i have a demo folder for crafting recipes that shows off both ammo overhaul crafting patches + regular craft.ltx dltxes

#

i should make the survival more survival-y

#

which file is hunger and stuff in

misty mulch
#

i mean i think it's bad practice to jam all that into a mod where the name indicates you'd only make one change. but it's your mod

rare sage
#

oh i made another mod for this

misty mulch
rare sage
#

im just board and wanna mkae gamma more annoying

rare sage
misty mulch
#

without e.g. a fomod or bain option to separate those out

rare sage
#

ohhh

#

time to learn fomod or bain i guess

#

i do think theyre related as theyre both about loot but options are always good

misty mulch
#

there's a reason why i even separated out "let you craft gunsmithing/drugmaking kits" from a "let you craft lower-tier toolkits from higher-tier ones" in my own mod

#

i think it is significantly better practice to do so

rare sage
#

yee

misty mulch
#

and what is obvious to you is not obvious to an end user based on the readme you wrote, to be honest

#

the first sentence makes it sound like your mod is all about "restrict stash locations to the south before doing BS/MM to unlock the north"

suddenly removing recipes and making it so that you need experts for type c repair kit? not 100% guaranteed that someone who wants that first change, will want the second.

rare sage
random fulcrum
#

i always tell myself i'll learn fomod for the next mod i publish but none of my mods even have real install options

#

besides the recoil mod but the optional is a literal patch

im looking at it here it says it is the amount of satiety removed

I advise you set the default format for .script, .ltx and especially .xml files to be Cyrillic 1251

Google it for whatever editor you're using

check some addon that add scopes via dltx

I think the way it's set up in vanilla might be the issue that ogf doesn't have weapon name but uses sk2 instead of modern so whole parent section doesn't work

aren't sk2 used in hud sections only?

how do i overwrite adltx tho

Like Modern is weapon definiton and huds are from sk2

hud section names are arbitrary

base section names are always weapon_name + scope_name
