[rare sage]

yep

that worked

lmao

[peak quest]

I added 0.65 in front of the hud line just to see what would happen, I assumed I need to find hud_fov. But when I pull out the sr it’s at its usual 0.8 fov and when I ads it goes down to 0.65 until I put it away

I really don’t like it at 0.8

[fair inlet]

idk what you changed but you need to edit the script

[rare sage]

losting 120 callories a asecond seems balanced

[rare sage]

amazing file name

[peak quest]

w_sr25.ltx, I changed “hud = wpn_sr25_hud” to “hud = 0.65”

[fair inlet]

yeah
ltx values are redundant, free zoom script overrides them

[rare sage]

1 callorie lost every 2 seconds
1 callorie lost every 5 seconds
1 callorie lost every 2 seconds
1 callorie lost every 5 seconds

i love decimals!!

2 calories lost every 7 seconds

double vanila

so thats

0 hunger in 52 minutes

now

how do change how fast thirst goes

[peak quest]

I’ll see what happens if I just remove free zoom

Never used it anyways

[fair inlet]

best solution

[novel ruin]

No the ltx value will override them, and keep the gun at that hud_fov at all point, even when you change through the script, i.e free zoom

So you wont get the zoom in effect on the hud and cant use the adjustable scope view mod

[rare sage]

theres no thirst value in actor.ltx

ok

i gues

for now ill look into traders

[drifting moat]

Same principles as monkey patching

Or you do direct file overwrite of the DLTX file

[rare sage]

i did this

seems to have worked

so loads later

[main plover]

@fair inlet fixed I forgot to to inherit :wpn_glock for my modern overrite

Now I just need to fix bones

[peak quest]

Which script?

[fair inlet]

free_zoomV2_mcm iirc
idk if it's still relevant though, given what Kute said

[rare sage]

whats barkeeps trading file

i assume trade_barman or smthn

[peak quest]

sure

[peak quest]

He was right

[rare sage]

so i assume left is the amount and the right value is the cost?

[peak quest]

alright now my mouse 5 zooms in? But I disabled free zoom

[rare sage]

wtf does mean 😭

[rare sage]

huh it perfectly fits

[main plover]

It has same rail as lebedev so it snucked right into the gun

[summer stream]

why do you have ! everywhere

[peak quest]

Why tf does my screen zoom in when I turn on my headlamp after disabling free zoom lol

I disabled the plugin in mo2

[rare sage]

deleting entries

[lean schooner]

Please tell me briefly. I want to give ak5c an animation of checking the magazine from another weapon. Working with text files is not enough and I need to use blender, right?

[summer stream]

yes.

[lean schooner]

th

[peak quest]

sr25 needs some ammo check animations

Should be pretty easy as you could take them from any AR that has check anims

[verbal siren]

OR you can re-use the reload animation IF it looks close enough. Add a few lines to the config and you're all set.

[lean schooner]

and will the magazine be removed? I just thought it was part of the weapon model.

[verbal siren]

It won't be removed. Assuming the reload animation looks like this: pull the mag out, hand goes off-screen, put the mag back in--to me it's a good enough substitute for a mag check animation. I just don't know how it looks in this case. Some weapons have animations where you toss the mag or are already holding the new one when pulling out the old one. That won't work for a mag check, obviously.

[lean schooner]

Got it, thanks, I'll try.

[misty mulch]

also looks like you've got the wrong root file if you want to target actor.ltx. reread my DLTX guide, sections 2 and 3 please, I go over how to find root files and how to resolve DLTX conflicts

[rare sage]

i got it working :p

[misty mulch]

yeah, a direct file overwrite, the exact thing you are meant to avoid by using DLTX

also because this whole adventure demonstrates that you still need to read up on what a root file is and how that works, so I suggest you do that anyway, and learn WHY your original efforts (both mod_actor and mod_zactor) failed

[rare sage]

this is my current structure,
if i understand it right it loads LTX (and dltx) files in alphabetical order, the lowest getting priority
a gamma mod has mod_system_satiety_GAMMA.ltx which would come after mine if i didnt have the _zzz_ in it

the reason mod_zactor and mod_actor didnt work, i believe, is because A) they werent the root file nad B) mod_system_satiety_GAMMA.ltx was overwriting what i was trying to edit

i take that as i was right

[misty mulch]

yeah pretty much. actor is not the root file that's directly read by the game, system is, and zactor is not a DLTX root file so the overrides target nothing and were not going to work

[misty mulch]

anyway z-stacking is a sickness and if you absolutely must, use the minimal number needed to make your file win the conflict. In your case, since t comes after s in the alphabet, you didn't need to add a z at all.

mod_system_satiety_GAMMA.ltx would already be beaten by mod_system_tscs_survival.ltx

[rare sage]

i got my alphabet wrong whne checking which came first

i added the z cause i got my alphabet wrong

im cooked

[misty mulch]

and even in that case... just 1 z

[rare sage]

yea

[misty mulch]

otherwise that's how you end up with mod_system_zzzzzzzz_tgr_cleaning_kits.ltx as a matter of necessity

[rare sage]

z stacking removed cause im a dunce lol

thats better

[misty mulch]

much nicer yeah

[rare sage]

man this makes me greatful for the delta merge in openmw

[misty mulch]

if you can, imagine a world pre-DLTX

manual merges for everything

[rare sage]

nightmares

[misty mulch]

also remember that system is not always the root file, even if it's a common one, so you do want to check if you're making your own DLTX of a file that's present in base Anomaly

in this case you can be somewhat confident that it is just because of the gamma ltx present but i've seen too many people copy bad homework to trust that method

[rare sage]

yee

[tawny sedge]

quick question to the gun makers, when youve modeled your gun or bought it from sketchfab, do you bake the roughness, metallic and base in blender cycles?

[dull juniper]

yo, how i can change location of elements on hud? i mean file, where i can input XY and see it on screen HUD

[main plover]

How you got a role so quick I am jelly

[rare sage]

passing a test

[rough lion]

Is there a tool for easily editing inventory/upgrade icons?

[main plover]

Which upgrade/inventory icons? from upgrade tree?

[rough lion]

I mean icons for outfits and weapons

[main plover]

Ah there is tool

[main plover]

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

But idk how it works I prefer to do icons manually anyway

I use it just for grid and I write config by hand

You want to edit existing one or you are creating atlas for something new?

[rough lion]

both

but it doesnt look complicated to use

It's spot on, can't believe i did guesswork before using this tool

[main plover]

As always

[drifting moat]

The engine is getting a lot of updates lately

Unfortunately a lot of them is pretty meaningless

[faint sable]

@misty mulch Sorry to bother you, I forgot but does the hud.ogf name of a gun block the gun being sold, or is it the ltxs guns entry name block the gun being sold?

example :
wpn_axmc_triji : Name inside it's ltx line

wpn_axmc_trijicon_rmr : Name of hud.ogf

[fair canopy]

it's the section name of the base weapon

so it would be the wpn_axmc_triji

[faint sable]

Ah gotcha

[fair canopy]

as an aside, a weapon cant have a different scope section name than the scope that makes it, but it can have a different hud name

[faint sable]

yea I was thinking that

[faint sable]

Imma just redo all my entries since I added a bunch of prs sights

[dull juniper]

yo, how i can change location of elements on hud? i mean file, where i can input XY and see it on screen HUD

[drifting moat]

If you want to alter existing stuff you would need to find it's XML file that defines the parameters. If you want to make something from scratch it's a lot more complicated

[main plover]

If that something that you already see on screen it might be covered by DART

[dull juniper]

sure, i need files< where i can add info on screen about using debug functions (like sign DEMO if g_god=1) i can put all of them under DEMO, but here is a lot of functions and i wanna make a column with names of func

i have this sht, btw i cant find strings, whats have position of ui_hud_icon_goodmode

[drifting moat]

Debug hud already does that

Press escape and F7

Or is it F1? I don't remember, but look in the bottom left there's info

[dull juniper]

here i can change place of sign DEMO?

and another que - how to add signs in this menu?

[drifting moat]

As I said it's more comlicated than changing existing stuff. If you want to create a completely new hud for these stuff then yoh would need to create an XML file defining the elements and their position, size then a script file that initializes everything

[dull juniper]

no

[dull juniper]

if i change this parameters - i have only one result: nothing

[drifting moat]

I think this is the textures descriptor of the "DEMO" icon

[dull juniper]

its XML, whats using sign DEMO

(one xml file, which using rhis)

[drifting moat]

Look for another XML that uses "invincible_static"

[dull juniper]

0

only 2 xml, maingame & maingame_16, which have equals code

may be isnt in hud options and i should find another code in game withour gamedata?

[drifting moat]

Did you unpack the anomaly files?

Anomaly/_tools/db_unpacker.bat

[dull juniper]

i searched gamedata before. sure i use unpacker

[drifting moat]

Okay so you then probably found the right file

Try to edit maingame_16

Edit the position of the invincible element you sent previously. Then restart game and check if it worked

[dull juniper]

only one ping of dis ui, changes does nothing

i have 4 textures< whats placed in 1 place, i need to make a column

changing maingame (_16) does nothing with ste sign DEMO

[drifting moat]

Did you restart the game after changing it? You need to restart the game for your changes to take effect

[dull juniper]

sure man

stop talking with me like iam lamer

plz

i have a problem, i described it

stop asking this banana questions :0

[drifting moat]

I have no idea what you did and didn't try. I also have no idea how much you know about modding. This is a pretty beginner question so I tried to help with as much info as I can

You add a new element to the XML file and then in the script file that reads and initializes the hud based off of the mentioned XML file you need to also add code to initialize your newly added element. After this it should show up.

[dull juniper]

i added elemets and game reads this (if i push "invisibility" i have sign "SPY") but if i push godmode with invisibility - i have SPY on DEMO

[drifting moat]

Good first step. So what? Setting the X, Y coordinate does not actually move the element?

[dull juniper]

i need to place SPY upper than DEMO and asking about how to change locations of debug signs (XY) in HUD

[dull juniper]

theyre have position xy 00, thats not a position of texture

[drifting moat]

In the XML file. The stuff you added literally have X,Y coordinates on them that you have to change

[drifting moat]

The 0,0 is weird. Because that stuff is in the bottom right of the screen. Anyways try to set y to -50

[dull juniper]

smth else, not texture. under i have simply code with hider artifacts< they-re have equals parameters of XY and width/height

[dull juniper]

not in the bottom bro

[drifting moat]

Send screenshot where do they appear

[dull juniper]

on radar, i need to place it lil upper and righter

[drifting moat]

Hmm. I think the positions for that might be handled from scripts entirely

[dull juniper]

may be

[drifting moat]

Since X=0, Y=0 should be top left of the screen

[dull juniper]

3k xd

finding in unpacked cuz i creating addon for this

[drifting moat]

Check the file where you put the script that initializes your XML element. That will handle the coordinates then

[dull juniper]

no

i have 4 buttons, they have 1 parameter - DEMO pos cuz idk where add positions

and try to found them

testing: change the DEMO position

i need change DEMO position in vanilla gamma and before i start creating the final things in my addon

[drifting moat]

I can't help you further without actually looking at the files too. I am on phone now so that's not really an option

[dull juniper]

kk ty

im still waiting for somebodys clue

static? may be it's a solve

[dull juniper]

not

idk where is sitting usage of this fkin texture

[regal bolt]

Are there any plugins for substance painter to streamline texture making for anomaly?

[undone spruce]

not really

Software like bumpx likes to use normal, height and glossness map, so you need those along base color to make textures

Besides that id recommend you up specular quality to ultra and check for roughness like that, before inverting it into glossiness

I dont understand textures very much, but every glossiness option on Painter always brought some weird map with itself, using the base pbr roughness option and inverting the roughness map always worked well

[regal bolt]

Gotcha, I appreciate the info. Thank you!

[faint sable]

@naive snow Question, do you know of any script that can automatically decrease polygon counts and verts etc on a world ogf? I was wondering before I get into reducing the polygons on all of my fwp weapons, just curious is all so I can save some time

if not do you know how to reduce polygon counts on guns in blender? I'm not too expertised in blender and reducing polygons

Mainly just wanna optimize my world models entirely is all

[undone spruce]

cant blender decimate modifier work for you?
tbh dont know how well it work, but i mainly tested to reduce higher poly to hud level and it didnt help much, but could be good enough for world

[faint sable]

tbh I didn't know it even had that

i'll check it out

[undone spruce]

managed to make a export profile and edit the dds converter for substance painter for straight to dds file export

bum i cant still get my head over bump# textures

[main plover]

Is that bloating config of fiveseven is at fault that five seven is duplicated in item spawn debug?

I can just slap sight on it without adjusting model or I can just remodel whole gun

[undone spruce]

those seem as one fiveseven with different scopes

if theres a duplicate, there must be another fiveseven mod in the game

[main plover]

The thing is fiveseven doesn't have any scopes definition models

[undone spruce]

yeah, its weird

but it doesnt explain appearing in the debug menu

[main plover]

That's exactly why kek

[undone spruce]

weird, im pretty sure there isnt that much in mine, lemme check

no, its there

[faint sable]

It's because when Grok switched the animations to use gunslingers, to prevent people from making a new game, he made all the sight sections to help prevent ctds after switching I believe, they been there ever since then

Though now it's touched by PPP instead so in the end it doesn't matter

at least I believe so, I forget the actual change behind it but it's been like that for a long while

[main plover]

Yeah I was digging trought config to add "tac" version of five seven with laser sight and rmr mount

Or someone did that already

[faint sable]

probably not done yet, since there's only one five seven being used I think

[main plover]

textures screwed but easy to fix

[main plover]

Extra question what in config makes definiton separate item instead of scope variant? parent?

[faint sable]

you mean what part makes the gun unique? if you're wanting it to be a kit, probably check out the other pistols configs that use a kit and see how they made it, if not and you want it to actually be a unique full gun, you can copy and entirety of the configs ltx and paste it but re-write it for the new name and new hud etc

[main plover]

Actually I was looking on wrong file because in gamma there is like 12 diffrent models of fn and only one is used so I just slapped rmr on the one that it should be

[main plover]

Bringing back all old sights before they were scrapped with reanimation

[main plover]

Does 3dss scopes still need extra/diffrent bone in animation because I heard diffrent things

[turbid gyro]

Hi all, I saw that some snipers have "increased penetration: +5" how do you add that or edit it on ltx file?

[main plover]

Figured it out

But still can't attach t12 to weapon I think I had this issue before but idk how I fixed it

[rare sage]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1097607522950586379.webp?size=128

[main plover]

t12 is in process

It shows up as comaptible but can't attach it

Another feature of bringing back attachments to the FN is less bloat in spawn menu

Okay made it work but I screwed omf need to create it again other than that it works 😄

gonna leave this here together with this other thing cause I just lost 30 mins over 1 missing entry in this stupid config so

Working Anomaly scripts autocomplete/LS setup/blablabla in Neovim:

In your lspconfig file:

lspconfig.lua_ls.setup({
    files = {
        ".*%.script",
    },
    settings = {
        files = {
            associations = {
                ["*.script"] = "lua",
            },
        },
        Lua = {
            diagnostics = {
                disable = { "lowercase-global" },
            },
            runtime = {
                version = "Lua 5.1",
                plugin = [[C:\<path>\anomalydefs\plugin.lua]],
            },
            workspace = {
                ignoreSubmodules = false,
                library = {

                },
            },
        },
    },
})

Somewhere in your config:

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

Just open neovim (or neovide or whatever else you use) using MO2\mods as the root and you should have autocomplete for everything

[quasi narwhal]

hey @misty mulch might we get a pin on this pls, to go together with the VSCode setup

[novel ruin]

There alr a mod for that, gotta go fast extended, it allows to customize movement speed for each state like leaning/crouching

[peak quest]

Thanks been trying it out

Seems like when I aim lean and move it adds my move speed from both states because I go significantly faster when I move like that

any tips on how to build x-ray monolith (demonized). Manual from the page is ... laconic and leaves me with .exes that report upon starting the game
screenspace_shadows.h(40,74): error X3004: undeclared identifier 'SSFX_SSS_DIR_QUALITY'

What have i don so far:

• fork repo
• make local clone
• select DX11 build config in VS2022 (default is DX10)
• run "rebuild solution" in VS2022
• copy resulting .exe to \StalkerAnomaly\bin folder
• start game using MO2 after selecting this new .exe .

What i want to achieve:
be able to compile exes locally, plop them into game folder and have them working so that i can introduce minor UI changes

[drifting moat]

You did everything right. There's been a lib update in more recent modded exes, that requires updating a mod in the gamna modlist

[azure bluff]

alright, thanks, any clue where to look for more information on which mod is that? SSS i assume based on the error.

[drifting moat]

Yeah I am trying to find it atm

There's a https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/915515500686086145 entry on it IIRC

hmmm, but exes downloaded straight from the github, STALKER-Anomaly-modded-exes_2025.5.26 work for me no problem

well, at least i can get to main menu unlike when i use self compiled exes

[drifting moat]

Hmm that is weird. Did you download the right versions of stuff stated on the install guide?

[azure bluff]

ou mean MFC and ATL?

ill play around with MFC/ATL versions and let you know

[drifting moat]

Actually since it compiled you're probably good on that front

[azure bluff]

yea, so turns out to be safe, mark both tools and libraries for MFC and ATL in VS installer. I got the exes running after doing that.

I need help on how to make an 21:9 aspect ratio config for my mod, i don't have an ultrawide monitor but the guy who uses my mod does.

[main plover]

Does he use dynamic asppect ratio tweaks?

And this is whole mod or just config/texture part?

[quasi narwhal]

1. what's wrong in his end
2. you need to make another variation that's not _16.xml, like just talk.xml or talk_21.xml with the proper width/X coordinates

or via scripts

local ratio = utils_xml.screen_ratio()

width = width * ratio

[rough lion]

No DART

[main plover]

That's issue on his end lol

@rough lion just ask him to install dynamic aspect ratio tweaks and he will be good

It's not really a mod, I just made it for myself, it's more like a little program (.exe) that runs in the background.
I'm not that good of a modder, to make a mod for Anomaly unfortunately.
And i am still in the process of improving the UI.

[true lance]

this prob a dumb question but if i dont want my mod being in the trader i just dont include any trader files correct?

[undone spruce]

yes, either delte the dltx files or delete the line containing the guns inside

[true lance]

anyone know where i can find the sound effects used in the hellboy movie so i can get his gun sound?

[true lance]

anyone who kinda knows abt the hellboy gun do yall think this is a goodsound effect?

[quasi narwhal]

yeah this is pretty close

maybe a tiny bit more high pitched but yeah

[faint sable]

Does anyone know why my crosshair is like, super super tiny? I can barely see it on my screen without gamer nerd neck

[main plover]

You even see it on the screen here?

[faint sable]

yea it's right here

that dot

lmao

[main plover]

Lol

[faint sable]

idk why it's doing this

[main plover]

Even in hud editor?

[faint sable]

Yea

[main plover]

Only on this gun?

[faint sable]

No on everything

it's just my crosshair now

that tiny dot is considered my hud_crosshair

[novel ruin]

Maybe because the res is too high?

[main plover]

Hmm I play in 3440x1440 and crosshair is not THAT small.

[faint sable]

my res is 1920x1080 which is my monitor size

never done this before until I updated gamma recently, idk

[novel ruin]

You sure its that dot? It loosk like a normal gravel texture for me

[faint sable]

it's literally one pixel

[novel ruin]

It didn't fix it sadly

you didn't configure it

And it still doesn't work

Comically small crosshair

[faint sable]

fuck it imma ball

[main plover]

Change size in mcm menu to some absurd 500 and check bro

[faint sable]

oh yea that worked

[main plover]

[lilac idol]

weren't cross hairs getting some modifications in the exes now that I think about it

for 3d balls and stuff

[random fulcrum]

works on my machine

[faint sable]

probably, I did see a newer exes update, might be that then

[faint sable]

[random fulcrum]

opened gamma just for this

lost 3 minutes

[random fulcrum]

sibling disable the dynamic crosshair size

you're looking at the void

that's why it's scaling it to be microscopic

[celest forge]

3D WHAT??????????????????

WHERE??????????????????????????????????

[main plover]

my balls were always 3d since I was a kid you still have 2d balls???

[lilac idol]

cojones🗣️

[faint sable]

Yea seems this is how imma have to fix the crosshair for the time being

these crosshairs do look nice though

I mainly just need it for gun making for sights/scopes

[ebon haven]

any mod making damage of rifle ne increased

[dull plover]

Hey guys, i dont know if this is possible or if someone already made this mod and I didnt find. But I want to make a stash that you can carry in your bag, the idea is, you'll be able to put items in the stash from your inventory(Righ click -> move to X) or open the stash like a tool, select the item/all items and put back in your bag. I'm already looking into the wiki to understand more about modding, but I want to know if its possible.

[main plover]

something like anomalous backpack?

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/the-anomalous-stash-beta-09

[dull plover]

More like EFT cases , not to access from anywhere, just to organize the inventory.

[random fulcrum]

why tho

anomaly doesn't have inventory tetris

you don't need the sorting table

god i wish anomaly had inventory tetris

[dull plover]

ADHD + Goblin looter, I like to see my bag organized and clean

[drifting moat]

How big of a rewrite would it take what do you think?

[random fulcrum]

idk i haven't even looked at inventory code for more than like 2 seconds to trace some variables

i know there's one xray stalker fangame that has inventory tetris

someone posted about it in newbies i think

not that long ago either

[random laurel]

would it be possible to change the enemies hitboxes ? if yes how ?

[random fulcrum]

but my guess is that it would need a full rewrite

[rare sage]

waiot

i might be dense

under trader supplies, the numbers 1,1 in this case is the min and max amount a trader can stock right?

ok

i am dense

whats the secodn number for then

it aint price

[main plover]

number of stacks?

[rare sage]

thats what the first one is i think

i set it to 1, 15 and there was only one item and it was at its normal price

i cannot find anything on what the second number does

[random fulcrum]

tried looking in scripts that use that ltx section

[rare sage]

yeah i can only find ltx files that use that

[drifting moat]

Look in the anomaly unpacked folder

Very important. When you don't find something in Gamma/mods always look in Anomaly folder.

[rare sage]

oh yeah i should unpack my files

the one usage of supplies_1 in the entire game files

[drifting moat]

Cool. You're one step closer. Now check current_buy_supplies

[rare sage]

dead end i thinkg

[drifting moat]

You now have to find how tm is processed.

i love unreadable variable names

[drifting moat]

It's a good idea to just browse the scripts closest to calling engine API. Lot of useful stuff is there and even if you just read them once (or just the ones that you're interested in) will help a lot in the future when you develop a mod and remember that there is something somewhere that does what you need ATM. It saved me time multiple times that I knew I don't have to implement something because it's in one of the high level scripts or I just had to slightly modify it.

[drifting moat]

1-3 letter variable/function names <<<<<< occasionally long, but extremely descriptive names

[rare sage]

whats the longest variable name in my engine

your rating on this thing guys?

i only made the textures

because the one that he had was bad asf

vityaz has a really good metallic tone, go see if it's thm work or it's just a good texture by itself

[drifting moat]

This will become even worse by the GPTFication of problem solving

it also has bump#

[lilac idol]

2022

[summer stream]

oi

shut up

[lilac idol]

bump# is for artefacting

it's all it does really

in some cases it can mesh up the shading too

[summer stream]

i still think i need to use models\model instead of models\weapons

[drifting moat]

It's a good tool if used correctly. Like a knife. Do stupid shit with it and deal with the consequences or use it as it should be used and be productive.

[lilac idol]

I think that doesn't matter unless you're on dx9

just use models

[lilac idol]

If you want a more metallic tone you gotta play with thm values

[summer stream]

metallic tone is the texture

[lilac idol]

is this with the ES patch

[summer stream]

y

huh

nothing changed

absolutely nothing

[lilac idol]

sdk flags are useless

[summer stream]

lies

for cod textures its required

(i fucking hate them because they dither color on bump )

"oh man i wonder what's wrong with my texture!"
dither color on bump :

[drifting moat]

God am I glad I don't wanna fck around with textures/models/animations ever

[summer stream]

never do

i am already going insane

i love pbr stuff but for anomaly it's useless to work around with

it doesn't have one

[drifting moat]

Especially with an old ass engine/limited tooling

according to LV

[summer stream]

now explain to me

how do i make it less glossy

[lilac idol]

I think for gloss you have to darken the red channel in the bump

[summer stream]

oh yeah

i didn't touch the red channel at all while making bump

i love red channel

[random fulcrum]

now i might be colorblind but this is ridiculous

[summer stream]

it's roughness after all

w/ alpha

[lilac idol]

channels are in grayscale

[summer stream]

this is green channel

(AO)

[lilac idol]

I'm pretty sure green channel is meant to be 255 white

[summer stream]

no

I've changed the ru-556 file in both the BAS and BAS 28-12-21 patch files

Still uses 5.56, though the changes are saved in the ltx file

[rare sage]

ok so tm, i assume "trade_manager", is a table equal to what ever m_data.trademanager

i assume based on the fact tm is indexed via an id that it's the items for each trader and id is a string for their name?

because get_trade_profile indexes tm with tm[id][key]

[drifting moat]

Sounds right and logical, can't confirm though because I'm not familiar with that script

[random fulcrum]

uncharted territory

what about trader autoinject

that could have clues

[rare sage]

never messed with anything autoinject

[random fulcrum]

nah but i mean

clues in regards to formatting

like maybe it has actual names for variables

Trader autoinject is a script

[rare sage]

my first thought was close

[rare sage]

my search just brought me mods

its right there

actually I saw this config for something else but forgor

recipe_ammo_2     = 1, 0.4

![supplies_3]

![supplies_4]
recipe_ammo_4     = 1, 0.2

[rare sage]

must have skipped over it while trying to read that

[main plover]

it's recipe setup for chance to apppear in mechanic inventory

[rare sage]

atleast i know now

thats very useful to know

[slow bolt]

same deal

[main plover]

yup

just forgot I was looking trought trought similar file

[rare sage]

so does that mean i have to set the price for each buyable item

[summer stream]

yea

[rare sage]

i assume in some trader_generic_sell script

no

wait

smthn like this i think

[random fulcrum]

what the fuck is that

[rare sage]

yes i seem to be right

as its how trader overhaul does it

[random fulcrum]

but why would you do it as an average of two numbers

what is the point

it's just beyond weird

probably still the same in S2

what was even the point of changing lasers to red

Idk why in one of patches grok replaced green textures with red variant

ye i know

i'm biased against red since i can barely see it

if at all

fuck red tones

that'd also change how much it sells for wouldnt it?

are they not showing in your game?
remind that some traders take time to reload their inventory

im just seeing the files without installing, i dont think theres anything wrong with them

i could just be really really stupid and this might not matter but should it look like this? i crossed reference this with another mod

[undone spruce]

yeah, that should be alright

[true lance]

this was the original

idk really know that much abt code or configs so idk if all the semi colons and equal signs matter when you have 1 entry like this

[undone spruce]

iirc that means theres 6 items to appear with 100% chance

the semicolons are just for comments

thats a dltx files that adds in the [supplies_1] (that means, first rank of trader relationship), the line about the ammo_45_longcolt that adds 6 items (probably 6 packs of the size of ammo declared in box_size) with 100% chance of appearing (allegedly)

thats ok as it is

its declared correctly

try to run the game, sleep for some days and check the trader if he has the ammo

dont remember rn if debug has a function for forcing reload of traders

[true lance]

this is my test ltx for the configs of my wip gun idk if any of its right tho ngl

ron could u give it a peak and tell me if it looks alr its for hellboys gun

i need to change a few things

[undone spruce]

gun ltx is a hellhole

from whats written looks ok

try to get ltx from similar types of guns and work from then, since its a revolver, you could use some of juan's revolver, the sw19 looks fine

some revolver mods has more involved animation lines that requires more work, but could be used

[undone spruce]

onyl thing i say is dropping the double // from paths, that would make it go haywire

[true lance]

i used juans as a layout to that the funny part what is wrong with it i just temp deleted like all the axis configs

[true lance]

so tired didt even see that

know that i compare mine to juans again i think isee a few issues

[undone spruce]

it wouldnt work since all those values should be declaredm otherwise it would pull from default_weapon_params, if it has them

[true lance]

how do i declare them?

[undone spruce]

check this for example

[true lance]

also i dont even have a model yet

[undone spruce]

tbf, id recommend you copying from a mod and only change those that needs to be different

[true lance]

okay so what here is telling the game to look in the mod folder?

[undone spruce]

this ltx i sent is working as of now, the main [wpn_9galo22] part contains the main values for the usage of game, [wpn_9galo22_hud], contains the hud part, that is, what shows in 1st person, mostly animations used, and locations parameters

[true lance]

is it a vanilla gun?

[undone spruce]

the models are always declared as starting from the model folder, that means the world model, that appears as a item, is in that folder inside the model one

[undone spruce]

no, its a mod

im pretty certain i used the mp412 from gamma as a base

https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/reference/configs/items/weapons/index.html

this part from the modding book cites all parameters from the ltx file

but from a start

you have 2 ogf models, one world, that is the item model, that appears in the world as a loose item when dropped, it must have colision boxes and theres some parameters for aligning the model when a player is holding in 3rd view

the other model is the hud, it is what appears in the fps view when youre using it, it has a associated OMF file that has its animations, and the ltx declares animations from that omf file, and from a omf file thats related to the arms, hand and fingers movement, if anything is wrong the game will crash

[true lance]

anomaly sounds like a picky girl on her period

[undone spruce]

i recomend you copying a ltx file from a mod, and change all values that doesnt involve the ogf and animations

itll pretty much have the skin of the original weapon

[true lance]

but i have my own weapon but its still in blender bc my friend taking forever

[undone spruce]

when you have the model, and textures, you can follow the firebreath tutorial
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwTYYH5zLjo

[true lance]

ye im like 14 min into that vid

[undone spruce]

and then you must either make animations for it, or using another animation set from another gun

[true lance]

my friend going to try his hardest to make a animation for it i told him he needs a reload animation and a inspect animation am i missing any?

[undone spruce]

it needs a lot

[turbid gyro]

Thank you to everyone that replied... I didnt take into account that vendors need to refresh their stock

[true lance]

[undone spruce]

with a revolver you can take it easy, since it doesnt need the last shot animation, but if you want the hammer to be cocked every shot, then theres one more to make

you can check in my ltx file the animations list in the hud section
thats a 9 shot revolver that has no special animations, and no cocking in every shot, id say thats the least you have to make it work

[true lance]

[undone spruce]

i got be honest, animation is the worst and more problematic part of making a gun mod

[true lance]

in thug it through we trust

onnce me and my friend get this first mod done the rest gonna be a breeze trust

[undone spruce]

thats true

[true lance]

the only thing im not looking forward to is i feel like making the npc's spawn with the weapon is hard

made 2 mods for vintage story and thought this would be the next step up how wrong i was

[undone spruce]

thats mostly a logical thing to work on, but i have to admit i dont know anything about it yet

[true lance]

well ima go to bed thx for the help man gn

[turbid gyro]

they finally showed up! finally! xD Thanks everyone!!!

now i just need to figure out how to make it more of a stalker killing ammo than mutant

[cunning wigeon]

hey so i want to know something, i have been wanting for a while to make my own radio replacement mod, and this isnt just music but every single voiceline on the radio, that includes also chatter, so where are the character hosting the radios voiceline?

or is it just music and no character hosting the show?

[woven terrace]

I am not Firebreath. He is an animator. But in any case, thanks for posting my video!

[cunning wigeon]

hey can anyone please help me

[rare sage]

i might dive into scripting for #1376272268371562529
see if theres a way to find out how many mutants are in an area

[drifting moat]

I don't remember if there's a trader on before restock callback, but there's a restock function for sure. I think you should inject your logic there. Then you would also have trader id in your hand and could scan surroundings or the whole map much easier. I think yiu should just scan whole map it's much easier + given default population that's kinda your only viable option

[lament current]

Mod idea, regarding sniper/ bolt action rifles.
in all honesty, i dont know if its even possible to make.
but it would be a very nice function for bolt action rifles and snipers.
if you could either.

hold fire button down after taking a shot, and waiting to load the bolt.
to see where the shot landed.

have a manual reload function for bolt loading, (like presseing reload to load bolt, and hold reload to load the mag)

im just throwing it out there, incase some level 10 modding wizard. knows if its possible to create such a mod.

[verbal siren]

Everything is possible with enough time and effort. The hardest part is finding someone willing to do it or finding the will to do it, in yourself.

[rare sage]

would there be a way to use the offline alife to scan near by maps?
eg rostok would scan rostok, truck and garbage?

[lament current]

true!, i have the will but i sure dont have the brains.. lets hope i can rock lee it ^^

[verbal siren]

All I can tell you is you need an animator and a coder to whip up a script.

[rare sage]

opinion on these meat drops

[drifting moat]

Yes! Some tasks_xxx.script files even have code example

[rare sage]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1097607522950586379.webp?size=48&name=binoculars

ill look into that thanks

[drifting moat]

Like tasks_bounty.script

Start with that

[rare sage]

ohhhhhh yeahhhh

that makes sense

they need to know where stalkers are

uhh @main plover theres no military icon

[main plover]

interesting

[main plover]

which variant?

[rare sage]

clean

ohh of these

just normal HD i think

"man where are the functions"

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1097607522950586379.webp?size=48&name=binoculars

setup_bounty_task seems to have what i need

find_stalker

wheres the {}

the lack of squigly brackets pains

[main plover]

Hmm it seems something got updated in sota recently all patches doesnt work for sota

[rare sage]

does npc consist of stalkers and mutants?

how do i get stuff like IsStalker in my auto complete

[main plover]

oh no army patches doesn't work with sota wtf

they worked couple month ago

[rare sage]

its only army patches with me

[main plover]

ye reinstalled

[rough lion]

Is it possible to have two alternative aiming modes?

(not including grenade launcher)

[drifting moat]

My engine modification won't really handle it, so not without engine edits

[rare sage]

shrimply get a better engine

[drifting moat]

Let's port anomaly and gamma to the voxel engine

[rare sage]

im currently making a new engine for a totally unique fps project

[noble temple]

i was showing this off in the newbie chat but some pictures of this hq replacer i'm making for the makarov. using a mixture of baked and painted lighting for a much more vanilla friendly aesthetic while still being very high definition

[noble temple]

nearly every modded weapon for stalker relies on dynamic lighting which usually doesn't look too great with how lacklustre the lighting can be and definitely feels off style next to vanilla guns. would love to make the whole set eventually

[main plover]

IDK why but fomod wasn't installing army files in sota option had to remove path and add it again and now it works I will unarchive mod in few minutes

[rare sage]

gamma moment

[drifting moat]

Looks really good!

[main plover]

@vital tree (boahstroyer) has been banned for reason: wagner Z kiddo troll bothering users in chat and in DM's, keep yourself safe instead

[sinful wasp]

[sinful wasp]

also

[drifting moat]

The population based restock???

[rare sage]

rip nerd

[drifting moat]

Btw use this next time. They act on them kinda fast: https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1110796393368526859

[rare sage]

yeah i forgot that existed and right after remmebered

[sinful wasp]

she did both actually

[rare sage]

i figured out how to get the anomaly things working

[sinful wasp]

mod ping here and a report

[rare sage]

my fault

[sinful wasp]

[drifting moat]

Full counter offensive

Or should I say

Counter oflinsive?

[drifting moat]

What anomaly things

[rare sage]

the uhhhh

what are they called

definitions?

functions and variables and shit

[drifting moat]

Ohh okay I get it now

[sinful wasp]

[rare sage]

i just got that

[obtuse isle]

https://tenor.com/view/walter-white-packwatch-rip-bozo-breaking-bad-cigar-gif-26539549

[rare sage]

they do it to themselves

😭

anyway

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1097607522950586379.webp?size=48&name=binoculars

is monster does exist

ow

ok so

[azure wren]

10 FPS, better than no FPS

[rare sage]

what ineed to do is

• find which script has the restock function
• yoink the find_stalker code and convert it to mutants?
• use that to determine how much food a shop keep should roughly have

[summer girder]

I look away for 10 minutes and the place explodes

[rare sage]

just some wagner kid

whats the restock function called

theres trader_on_restock

im setting a lot of economy["restock"]

[drifting moat]

https://tenor.com/view/leonardo-dicaprio-rick-dalton-point-finger-pointing-hand-right-there-gif-10021173711470199031

[undone spruce]

sry, it was 3am here and i couldnt barely see straight after a blender animation sesh

[drifting moat]

So this callback gives you back the trader that just restocked I think. You can then do

npc:iterate_inventory(coolIteratorFunction)

[nocturne night]

Hey I'm trying to do a transition from Garbage to Yantar but I only crashing my game or the thing don't appear is there a guide on how to do that?

[drifting moat]

And adjust the items to your liking

[drifting moat]

IDK about a guide, but there's a mod that adds extra transition from Garbage -> Rostok

Check how they do it.

You could also find in unpacked anomaly files, but these implementations are simpler IMO

[nocturne night]

yep I saw that

I need to create a whole thing for it to work
