[desert tinsel]

mhhm ive got it set as 1, however pressing it nothing happens

but the moment i pull out my knife it also draws the detector

so clearly it is pulling it out, but not with the weapon

[main plover]

you actually have ready mod for that https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1202505462688260147

And it might not work on already spawned weapons idk if that's true but it should work

[desert tinsel]

says it should work midsave

i have the part down for it fitting and being taken out in the pistol slot
just seemed the one handed part wasn't working the best

okay what i think is happening

maybe i need to imput an animation like the p90 has in order for the detector to pop out

[main plover]

[desert tinsel]

guh

[desert tinsel]

ah i found my issue

i didnt' read the fine text
"may have issues with pre-existing items, find or spawn a new one"

[desert tinsel]

i have now made an abomination

i have created a branched upgrade for the pp-2000 to be converted to 45

[desert tinsel]

i have arised a new question
how might one look at/change the value of certain ammo?
not crafting, but damage wise

and armor penetration aswell

[alpine wraith]

anyone know how i can edit a weapon so it can go in melee/vision slot

[desert tinsel]

actually yea, what weapon?

[alpine wraith]

i wanna edit the pp2000

[desert tinsel]

i just did that lol

like 15 messages up

[alpine wraith]

[desert tinsel]

do you want to make a fresh mod in your mo2 for it?

as i can just pass you the file

[alpine wraith]

yea thatd be sweet

[desert tinsel]

voila

should be able to slap it right into the bottom of your mo2, restart your game, and should work

[alpine wraith]

awesome ima try it out thanks again dude

[desert tinsel]

ye, get back to me as it SHOULD work

(i just got mine to do it)

[alpine wraith]

works

can u point me to where those weapon files are in case i wanna do another one

[desert tinsel]

so i had to unpack the anomally db's

BUT
if you do, do all that
it's configs\items\weapons

it was a pain in the ass to get unpacked (im stupid) but thats where i got the pp-2000 ltx file from

i also do have those unpacked files in a zip if you want those too

just gonna throw em here

[alpine wraith]

dude can i get those? ur a lifesaver

[desert tinsel]

enjoy your guns

[north coral]

Hey guys, So I want to use Grass And trees by PanceRide summer edition however I can't find any installation instructions, any help would be appreciated

[alpine wraith]

added mp9 using ur file structure as a basis

lmk if u want the file

[desert tinsel]

baller, glad to hear

[noble temple]

https://imgsli.com/Mzg0NjE3 made a quick comparison for the effect the bump# rgb channels have on the normal map - basically it's the inverse of the DXT texture compression of the normal map to try and smooth out some of the blockiness post compression

might look into a way to generate them without having to use the actor editor since the sdk is kinda cumbersome nowadays if you don't need it for your usecase

[alpine wraith]

anyone know where the vz68 weapon ltx is? i find vz61 but when i change the slot and onehandedness nothing happens

[desert tinsel]

try spawning a new one

i had to do that with my pp2000 for one handed to work

[alpine wraith]

lord forgive me

im bouta make the drozd a pistol slot

[rare sage]

i should make a diseases mod

eating raw or non purified food gives u diseases

stalker aids 2025

15% chance for humans to have meat on them

Kuru in stalker

[lucid spindle]

i could be wrong , but that mechanic was in misery

[rare sage]

never played misery

[lucid spindle]

that mod is like billion years old

alot of survival mechanics in gamma are from that mod

[desert tinsel]

finally some good fucking good

[lean moth]

is there a mod that adds the coughing and low health noises from eft to gamma?

[rare sage]

probably the mod that adds them to eft

ohh

eft

not efp

its in efp probably tho

[lean moth]

probably tho

idk i thought it would be a cool little feature

ill gladly make a mod like that but idk where to start

[slow bolt]

Radiation effects overhaul iirc

that one adds coughing

low health noises are also in gamma as well

so idk what you mean

[undone spruce]

BumpX generates Bump and Bump# textures from normal, gloss and height

But i don't know how good they are compared to those from the sdk

[lean moth]

Oh they are? Idk I was at low health and didn't hear it

[noble temple]

yeah i like using the new nvidia photoshop plugin since it has lots of features and the compression quality is very good

i already figured out a way to replicate the bump# rgb error correction with substance designer, just need to polish it up, so i can do that very easily anyways

[summer stream]

they updated the plugin?

[bold gyro]

After playing Military for a while, I would love a mod that allowed you to call in a helicopter for support - like the other soldiers who get attacked in Great Swamps or Cordon. You could use it when assaulting heavily occupied places. However, the trade off is that you'd need high reputation and you'd also need routinely wire bribes to high-ranking NPCs. It'd be a nice tool considering most factions want you dead.

[mighty locust]

@celest forge how do i make a gun skin?

[celest forge]

Depends on what you mean by "Skin"

[mighty locust]

yeah, like the sanrio skin haha

it works with uv texturing and uv wraps?

[celest forge]

Ah yeah just edit the texture

That's what I did for the BRN

Which admittedly was very lazy, I just color swapped the OG texture

[mighty locust]

i see, where do i find the files and sh ?

[celest forge]

Depends on the gun

[mighty locust]

the brn 180 ?

oh must be this one

[main plover]

Redone can do that or western goods one of them adds this function

[dawn token]

I need giggles in stalker

[mighty locust]

ooh i got it

[mighty locust]

i think ill go for something like this

[mighty locust]

not bad

[rare sage]

barbie gun

[dawn token]

I hate the reload of the brn 💔

[fair canopy]

Then reanimated it

[dawn token]

[jade oxide]

at least there is no obvious disgusting mesh glitch it's good 🙂

[eternal agate]

any mod that lets vendors/mechanics purchase broken/damaged weapons?

or a way to enable that

This isn't the right channel for these kind of questions. You get an answer faster in the ones I linked

[trim blaze]

Can someone help me. I’m very new and confused to modding. I was told to export a file into a .ogf. I’m on X-ray Cop SDK. I don’t know how to load in the mutant and export it into a .OGF file

[bold gyro]

Thanks. I'll look into it.

[main plover]

Western goods!

idk how it works never used it but there is definetly keybinding for helicopter attack

[barren spruce]

same lmao

juan made it so it cant possibly be good

[fair pollen]

I hate that he fucked up the reload

You can literally see that there are a few added frames compared to the original reload.

Which is making it look worse, Imho.

[undone spruce]

i dont look at the gun

i look at the mf target

besides my gpu be butchering the frame for me to be looking at anims

[celest forge]

I didn't add any frames, just edited the left hand to fit the model

It was a bit sloppy, I would probably just make the anims myself if I was to make it today

[fair pollen]

It looks that way to me, but again, maybe someone can explain it better.
Perhaps it is what you are saying.

[celest forge]

Oh gamma changes the animations

In that case it's not a thing I made

[fair pollen]

Now that is confusing

[celest forge]

In my version the grip is a normal rifle grip by the picatinny at the side of the handguard

Not by the magwell

[fair pollen]

Eh, I see the same thing from the moddb version, posted by you.

Unless there is sth in gamma that literally fucks this all up

[fair canopy]

[celest forge]

Very possibly

[fair pollen]

Reload stayed the same.

[tribal pike]

What's the possibility of ever getting a Vr Mod for stalker gamma?

Into the radius exists but for some reason doesnt like my pc

And simply does not feel like stalker enough

[celest forge]

Near to none

[fair canopy]

ive heard that if you dm grok enough with your request he'll eventually add it

so the legend goes

[tribal pike]

Im asking as a vr mod with actual 3d environ, 6 dof movement doesnt exist, you can jerry rig it via vorpx, but i aint got 40 bucks for a key to do so

Im not gonna pester grok

[fair canopy]

put it in #1092834455300866068

[tribal pike]

I cannot

It would be an undertaking

It would require some systems for all the extra inputs GAMMA adds, some type of decent inventory system/screen

[undone spruce]

upped the dam a bit more

[random fulcrum]

what's its hit_power

cause you got gbo'd

[undone spruce]

its a 22lr

still thinking if upping its a good alternative

or i just let it dogass low

but semi autos are gonna be ass, i think i achieved a good balance, i just dont want a 1300rpm machine gun be op while 22lr

[undone spruce]

At that video it was 0.14 i think
With 0.45 k_hit from ammo

#╓☢stalker-chat message @drifting moat
for some reason the trader restock call back activates when ever you talk to an npc, i assume this is due to you being able to trade with all npcs in vanilla anomaly

[drifting moat]

Ah okay

[rare sage]

when ever i talk to an npc i get a crash due to it trying to get m_game_vertex_id, an id of offline entities, on an online entity, the npc being talked to

[drifting moat]

I think there is a fairly simple fix for that. IIRC if you do npc.id it will return nil for online NPCs, but for offline ones it returns the ID

You could use this to determine how you have to handle the map querying

[rare sage]

i also need to determine if an npc is online/offline

[drifting moat]

+I think there is a flag indicating if NPCs are traders

[drifting moat]

I just gave you a lead on that

[rare sage]

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

i will look into this

[drifting moat]

I suggest you join the Anomaly DC too

The modding chat there can help too with these types of questions. There are engine modders there too

[rare sage]

yay it works
i now know if someones a trader

no more crashes

:D

for now

ok

so

now

fix npc determination

ok why does map always return invalid

it DOES get the right maps

[drifting moat]

What was the trick? Wait there is an IsTrader function, isn't there?

[rare sage]

local cfg = trade_manager.get_trade_profile(npc:id(), "cfg_ltx")
    local is_trader = cfg and cfg ~= "items\\trade\\trade_generic.ltx" and cfg ~= "items\\trade\\trade_companion.ltx"```

[quasi narwhal]

there is yeah, just not sure if it works 100% lol

[rare sage]

ok thats why it doesnt work

ok

agroprom is nearby but isnt a valid map

this should get it right?

fixed it

chat

we have mutant counting

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

now to iterate through said mutants and determine their kind

[drifting moat]

if nearby_maps[map] then is fine too. nil is falsey

[rare sage]

this worked

[drifting moat]

table["key"] is the same

[rare sage]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/506936561611440159.webp?size=48&name=MenheraThinking

[rare sage]

im use to having that error out in every language ive used lol

[drifting moat]

Not compatible with redone, idk if there is an API call or lua function call to get back all mutants. Maybe an ltx contains them

[rare sage]

those names are taken from an ltx
i dont think redone adds any cookable items does it?

[drifting moat]

If you want to try and be dynamic you could check how/where mutants are added, but you would need to know ehat parts they can drop too

It is probably a hassle

[drifting moat]

You might be right

[rare sage]

dont think this will work but worth a shot

[drifting moat]

You're not even modding properly if you don't crash your game a few times in the process

[rare sage]

it didnt crash

[drifting moat]

I would move this out of the function to a constant. No reason to instantiate it for each call of the function

[rare sage]

true

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/506936561611440159.webp?size=48&name=MenheraThinking

do i push

id to mutants

or

the sim object

oooo

theres functions to check if its a specific mutant

thatll be easier than doing the mutant_ids

oh only for some mutants

ok so it uses

class ids

to determine what is what

[drifting moat]

I would just push the Id. You can always get the object later. Better for performance for sure

[rare sage]

ohh true

https://tenor.com/view/oh-its-beautiful-gif-14598256

@drifting moat it works

https://tenor.com/view/oh-its-beautiful-gif-14598256

20 food producing mutants found

dont ask why it runs 6392 times

[drifting moat]

Isn't because you iterate all ids?

[rare sage]

nope this is just mutants

[drifting moat]

What is the function that runs a lot show me

[rare sage]

i got it to only run

210 times

waitttt

this iterates over all items

im a dumbass

this hsouldnt be in iterate

[summer stream]

https://tenor.com/view/korshunov-stalker-2-stalker-stalker2-ward-gif-4316907427003349762

[rare sage]

thats MUCH better

mutants without ids is uh

psysuckers
lurkers
and any modded in mutant

as they dont have clsids

[drifting moat]

Rain you gotta refactor this this could probably be around 6 lines of code

[rare sage]

:3

another victim of my code

this script would kill you

ok

so

now

to iterate over the items

and determine if they have a food item

and set its amount ot what it should be

actually no

i just need to add the items to the trader

[drifting moat]

Yeah just iterate their inventory and then either release or add the food based on the amount you want

After refactoring the above script of course 😇

[rare sage]

functional first
refactor after

[drifting moat]

The above script is functional

[rare sage]

i mean the entire thing

[drifting moat]

Future Rain will love you more if you do it now

[rare sage]

ehhhhh

[drifting moat]

But sure develop as you seem fit. It's your mod after all

[rare sage]

ill release as is

that can only go well

technically a refactor

the determining what mutant is what is the worst part

of FUCK ME

😭

i forgot

arrays start at 1

for some fucking reason

[drifting moat]

total_mutants[tostring(mutant:clsid())] = total_mutants[tostring(mutant:clsid())] + 1

[drifting moat]

For this

[rare sage]

what'd the table look like?

    total_mutants = {
          {"bloodsucker", 0}
          ....
        }```?

[drifting moat]

total_mutants
{
["bloodsucker"] = 0
}

[rare sage]

ooo

okay

[drifting moat]

It can crash if the entry does not exist

So check if it does before adding to it

If doesn't exist imstantiate it with 1.

Sry I'm from phone

[rare sage]

something like this?

just incase the clsid doesnt exist

or well

the entry

[drifting moat]

Ni

No

Replace "others" with the same mutant clsid thing, but instead of +1 do = 1

You can keep the no clsid fallback tho, but I think everything must have one

[rare sage]

like this?

[drifting moat]

Replace "others" with tostring(mutant:clsid())

If entry doesn't exist you create it with 1. If it does exist you increment it by 1

[rare sage]

ohhh

[drifting moat]

Also you might not need to convert clsid to string

[rare sage]

i believe theyre an enum so i might?

i mean it didnt crash

so

it seems to work

ok now to

spawn the items

how

[rare sage]

we hit 600 lines

dont ask how

i just did

ill just post this

[drifting moat]

Lua doesn't really have enums. Of course you could mimick them with tables

[rare sage]

fixed this

its now just this

from 400 lines to 30

wish there was command to reload a script

closing the game is getting annoying

[drifting moat]

Now this is looks decent

[drifting moat]

Just reload a save

[rare sage]

THAT RELOADS SCRIPTS?

[drifting moat]

What about supply levels other than 1?

[drifting moat]

Yes

[rare sage]

OMFG

[drifting moat]

In anomaly it also reloads XMLs

[rare sage]

so i cna

load up

test something

change code

f9

and the new code is there

[drifting moat]

Sì

[rare sage]

my lord

[rare sage]

it should default to 1?

ive been exiting the game any time i edit anything

[drifting moat]

No. You're injecting info for supply lvl 1 to the trader

I don't know how the trader_autoinject works actually, but from the code context it looks like that

[rare sage]

ok wait i have to test this

[drifting moat]

Juat make sure to tesr with higher supply levels though for your mod it shouldn't change a thing

[drifting moat]

Actually no wait. You're good I think

[rare sage]

it works

if

it

fuckiung works

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1250941579645161476/1368374622579458149/obraz.gif

I CAN JUST F9

[drifting moat]

You can ditch this whole supply level thing if you don't want it to affect stock

[rare sage]

i cant imagine how long ive wasted closing the game and waiting 2 minutes to reload

ltx's dont overwrite what items can be added do they?

holy shit

i can reload ltx files with f9

also no they dont

[drifting moat]

I think they just define what is added

But keep in mind. If you add a new file or change XML files you have to restart the game for them to work

[rare sage]

yea

issue

uh

tostring(mutant:clsid()) seems to be wrong

returns a number

not the name

returns like 133 not bloodsucker_s (idk if it maps to that just an example)

[drifting moat]

Okay. Why are you using clsid?

Just use id

Wait no

section?

[misty mulch]

that's section

[lament current]

hey, is there a way to surpass the 1 amount for mutant and stalker population. via ltx file etc.
the issue is im running RE:SPAWN mod. so i cant use ZCP. however. i want more to kill. 🙂

[rare sage]

am i

going to have to

Hmm you're righ. You actually chose the right approach with clsid

[drifting moat]

But you made it worke once already

And do you need the tostring even?

or why

[drifting moat]

Indeed

[rare sage]

clsid returns the int value not the name of it

[drifting moat]

Much better

What does this return?
mutant:name()

@rare sage

[rare sage]

this looks like real code

[rare sage]

ill try in a bit
turns out my next project has a secret unwritten thing we have to make

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/920747242627932162.gif?size=48&animated=true&name=smokepepe

[drifting moat]

Tell me about it

[rare sage]

apparently we have to write up a design document for the project
we we're told this the week before it was due
on the day i was off due to being sick

[drifting moat]

Better check the contract

[rare sage]

sectionname + id

[drifting moat]

Hmm. I have one last idea one sec

[rare sage]

okai

[rare sage]

this is oen long second

[drifting moat]

Ah yeah. Got carried away

[drifting moat]

I guess we ran out of options

[rare sage]

conceptg

  if char == '0' or '1' or '2' or '3' or '4' or '5' or '6' or '7' or '8' or '9'
    clsid.remove(char)
  end
end```

[drifting moat]

but that would still get you the wrong string

[rare sage]

clsid has the clsid enum thingy with the entity id at the end

[drifting moat]

Ahh okay got it

Okay so

clsid is an enum you're right. The string part is the key and the number at the end is the value

[drifting moat]

That means. When collecting the entities you can just define the key as the enum name and then compare entity clsid against that name

[rare sage]

:clsid() seems to get the clsid + the entities id

as itll be like dog_s1234

[drifting moat]

    total_mutants = {
        [clsid.bloodsucker] = 0,
        [clsid.boar] = 0,
        ["chimera_s"] = 0, --same for all
        ["dog_s"] = 0,
        ["psy_dog_s"] = 0,
        ["pseudodog_s"] = 0,
        ["flesh_s"] = 0,
        ["snork_s"] = 0,
        ["tushkano_s"] = 0,
        ["others"] = 0,
    }

[drifting moat]

show me a log

[rare sage]

i think im going insane

Also. How do you force restock trader?

[rare sage]

F7 -> restock trader

[drifting moat]

Of course it's there

[rare sage]

mr mechanic why do you haev food

[drifting moat]

Because he is a trader

[rare sage]

i need to specify which onesss

[drifting moat]

Twas too good to be true

[drifting moat]

You could just hardcode it

[rare sage]

is there a place i can find which traders are which ingame?

[random fulcrum]

bro's hungry

[rare sage]

theres "trade_monolith" and "trade_monolith_basic"

[drifting moat]

xr_conditions.check_npc_barman is what you need

[rare sage]

ahhh ok

[random fulcrum]

why would all of them inherit from a unused section

[rare sage]

i think barman is barkeep

[drifting moat]

@random fulcrum

[rare sage]

or im using the function wrong

[random fulcrum]

unused is such a weird name for it then

i'm crashing out

[drifting moat]

Blacklist. My favourite word nowadays xd Looks like all I make has to do with blacklists

[drifting moat]

Try passing db.actor() as first param. I have no idea why some have that, but try it

[rare sage]

whats passed for the first value of db actor

its a const but idk what one

[random fulcrum]

printf(db.actor())
looks inside
userdata

[drifting moat]

Call it like this: xr_conditions.check_npc_trader(db.actor, npc)

Idk why it's treated as warfare specific

[rare sage]

ahh ok

[drifting moat]

Userdata = data structures from other programing languages

[summer girder]

You really just saw his lunch and asked "issatforsale"

[main plover]

Nice necro response But surprisingly this rule of 15 only affects ammo parts idk why, and using not even number as amount of part like 1.2 works just fine so crafting recipe asks for like 18 parts instead of 15. And I added non ammo part item to recipe it just sacks with 1 for example file

[random fulcrum]

could be because ammo parts are coded in as ammo

[main plover]

And number at start of recipe should dicate x amount of items you get but It doesnt matter for ammo

ammo_9x19_pbp_bad              = 5, recipe_ammo_1, casing_p,4,powder_2,4,bullet_pistol,4,rasp_tool,1

I just overwritten box_stack for this ammo to 60.

[misty mulch]

which file are you adding this in? cos ammo crafting in gamma does not use the normal craft.ltx system

[main plover]

custom ltx that just overrites [ammo_bas]

[misty mulch]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UTViiNg656Ey_0p7tL3DkJam9oe86RAL/view?usp=sharing try looking at my ammo_example.ltx file here

[misty mulch]

also the first number is tool type not number of output

[dawn flare]

hey, is the sway of weapons when scoped in controlled by a variable in the files? or is it tied to the animations?

[main plover]

So tosox craft is wrong then

Anyway

[misty mulch]

also i found out the hard way that all crafting recipes can only have between 2 and 4 inputs

[main plover]

it works as it shoul so

[main plover]

Going back to dispute to get rid off this stupid rule that we need to use 15x of parts we need to change box_size of ammo parts to 1 and rewrite all ammo recipies to follow new format 😐
and it would also affect amount of parts dropped from npcs ( I guess)

So it would be good change but it's so base mechanic that everyone is used to it's not worth a hassle

I can do it for https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1376181688991748237
But if someone uses not standard ammo from random ammo mod it will cause them to craft their ammo from 1 casing 1 powder 1 bullet etc

[drifting moat]

If you think about it it makes sense. In the workshop that's the max amount of ingredients displayable.

It wouldn't be that incredibly hard to extend though. The other route is complex items that consist of components

[random fulcrum]

yeah i mean the bigger issue with this is that now every ammo part item is a new id

instead of every 15th one

you can see how this is a problem

[drifting moat]

So you have to craft A, B, C, D item and item E's recipe is ABCD. This way you can extend recipes, but make it more complex also

[random fulcrum]

even if the id limit is sort of like the minecraft farlands

instead of walking there you're now sprinting

[drifting moat]

Workshop optimization would need a patch too. And workshop ammo crafting in general

[main plover]

What if we could get engine edit that would be rounding up decimal numbers

because when I put 1.333 it just asked for 19.9995 of bullets

[drifting moat]

You mean for the recipe?

[main plover]

yup

[random fulcrum]

simply edit MAX_ITEM_ID to a number bigger than 65536 in game.c

[drifting moat]

Maybe it wouldn't even need engine edits. Those ltx files are read by lua scripts

[drifting moat]

Would break a few Lua scripts that iterate Ids

• legend says someone already tried it and didn't end well

[random fulcrum]

that change was for max use count for items

not item id

which yes it did break any existing save files

[main plover]

[random fulcrum]

but worked fine on new games

[misty mulch]

Yup, I always thought it was a UI limit

[drifting moat]

Ui has space for 8 though

But I would say it's fine as is

To extend ppl can implement complex recipes the ABCD way as I just theorized

[drifting moat]

I mean 4 more could fit

[dim spade]

Is it possible for to add different versions of the M4 Tactical (from BAS) alongside the original M4 Tactical? For example one with the 30rnd mags and different grip or add one that is compatible with M203?

For example this mod changes the existing M4 Tactical but I want to add additional versions of it.
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/basm4-tactical-reanimation

[main plover]

rename it's name in ltx file it will make it new weapon I guess

[dim spade]

I see

I'll try it out thanks

[undone spruce]

create a new ogf model the way you want it, then declare a new weapon in the ltx file that parents the original gun, and declaring the new ogf path for it

[dim spade]

Any guide videos I can watch?

[dim spade]

ltx file in this makes no sense to me when I compare with base BAS file 😅

Glad it does

[dim spade]

I couldn't get it to work lol

I can take a weapon and add exact copy of it with altered stats but I cannot make it so that it uses different attachments

[dim spade]

Do I need to edit ogf files for that?

[faint sable]

Yep

to add new scopes and sights

[dim spade]

Damn

[faint sable]

you'd need to add more ogf huds

[lethal garden]

So, what do i need to add to LTX in order for a scope to change magnification like the elcan spectre does?

[dim spade]

New stuff to learn

[faint sable]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8crq79zMfs

[dim spade]

I assume I can swap magazines as well with this method?

[faint sable]

if by meaning the model no

if by meaning the ltx ammo type yea

[dim spade]

I meant model

Angled grips looks better with 60 rounder mags

[faint sable]

you'd have to add it as a model to the ogfs, also animation might not be good with the mag if it's a large one or too different from the original models size

[dim spade]

😄

I see

I was thinking something along the line of giving angled grip to butchers M4

[faint sable]

yea sadly unless you got an animation to hold the angle grip, it won't look good in game

[lilac vessel]

hey, question, is there any way to make tools rarer to find? i hate having advanced tools on day 1

[dim spade]

I have found few animations from here

[faint sable]

it'd not be able to use the 60 rnd since it doesn't exist animation wise

[dim spade]

This guy gave M4 Tactical angled grip but it uses 40 rounders

[faint sable]

that one just uses an angled foregrip or standard foregrip

mag size is relatively the same

[dim spade]

Ahhh I see

Does butchers M4 uses some other animation for reload then?

[faint sable]

the one with the 60 rounder probably uses the BAS animation which racks the charging handle and flips the hatch open and has barely no inspect animation

but has the 60 round

no animation exists to use that and an angled grip

[dim spade]

One of our tacticool M4's also uses angled grip

With 40 rounders XD

[faint sable]

yea but not the 60 drum

[dim spade]

Yeah

Gucci M4's use drum mags but they look too advanced for the most part

I always sue your ports btw

[faint sable]

what's guccis m4

[dim spade]

I meant use not sue lol

[faint sable]

lmao

[dim spade]

"Gucci" M4 lol

[faint sable]

that's basically the sai gry I did but a bit different

[dim spade]

As I said I use your mods but lack of GL for high end AR15s makes me sad

[faint sable]

yea no gl since the animations didn't use one

[dim spade]

Yeah

I have just started using this one
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/escape-from-tarkov-m4-pack

only freedom one has GL compatibility

[faint sable]

ah yea that one used the gl

however with a foregrip it can't

it's two separate animations

[fair canopy]

it could

but it requires some knowledge

[faint sable]

yea it can

athi teach them

[fair canopy]

hah no

[faint sable]

@summer girder bot alert/scam

[verbal siren]

You mean a weapon icon? What format are you saving it in? What compression method?

[novel ruin]

Seem like you save it in a very old compression: BC1. You should use the latest one that compatible with all DX: DXT-5 BC3

[lilac idol]

bc1 doesn't support an alpha channel, use bc3/dxt5 or uncompressed

also make sure that you don't have mip maps

[summer stream]

how is it compatible with all of em

i keep saving mine in bc3

people keep saying its not working on dx8 and 9

dude

what the fuck

am i special or something

[lilac idol]

if all textures are bc3 and it doesn't have any 3dss/prs stuff it has to work

[summer stream]

all of them are

dude wtf

is it because im using photoshop or what

[lilac idol]

it isn't

then what's the matter

even thm uses BC3

@misty mulch

do I need to do something potentially to make sure my thing has priority and is actually overwriting otherstuff?

[random fulcrum]

yeah go figure you're editing the base ltx file

do dltx

veer has a idiot proof guide on that

no matter where you put a base ltx file in the load order it will always lose to dltx no matter what

because of dltx's design

i'm on phone how many z's does the k98 dltx have

https://github.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA/blob/main/G.A.M.M.A/modpack_addons/G.A.M.M.A. Weapon Pack/gamedata/configs/mod_system_weapons_damage_GAMMA.ltx

damn it has not a singular z

good ending

gamma is healing

[drifting moat]

https://tenor.com/view/prayers-thoughts-and-prayers-sending-prayers-gif-8112511101550278405

[misty mulch]

direct editing config files is very complicated in GAMMA, since GAMMA uses DLTX files extensively. DLTX files overwrite base LTX configs no matter where they are in the modlist, so it's always better to create a DLTX file

My guide is here: https://github.com/veerserif/gamma-dashboard/blob/main/dltx_guide.md

[upper zenith]

yes I was attempting to read through this already, currently struggling with the LTXDiff

[misty mulch]

thankfully for you, the root file for all weapon configs is system, so all weapon-altering DLTXes have the filename format mod_system_myDLTXfilename.ltx

[upper zenith]

oh.
so mod_system_wk98.ltx should do what I want?

[misty mulch]

it would beat the DLTX file from GAMMA Weapon Pack, so yes, it should

remember that you also need to put it in the same folder, gamedata/config, i strongly recommend you make your own empty mod (go to GAMMA/mods, make a folder and call it whatever you want, inside it create gamedata, inside gamedata create configs, slap your DLTX file in that configs folder)

then in MO2 refresh (F5) and you should see your folder appear as a mod at the very bottom of the modlist

[upper zenith]

I copied the gamma weapon pack and ripped out everything but the config folder already

[misty mulch]

...don't do that

you do not want to duplicate all its other dltx files

[random fulcrum]

way way way easier to just create the new folder

[misty mulch]

the principle here is only change what needs to be changed

also because by doing that you will create two identically named "mods" in MO2

[random fulcrum]

less involved than copying a folder and manually cleaning it out

[misty mulch]

and the modlist does not like that. just make your own folder called "my weapon edits" or some shit like that

[upper zenith]

well no I renamed it

[misty mulch]

then yeah you did more work than "create three folders"

[upper zenith]

I'm only very stupid, thank you very much

[misty mulch]

assuming you also removed every single file in the config folder? (e: before making your own DLTX file)

which you should

ok imma guess from the gap that you're about to go do that

[upper zenith]

yes

[misty mulch]

again the principle is always, "only change what needs to be changed", and nothing else, which is why you want to start new

||not doing that is what leads to GMTOP||

[upper zenith]

yes I definitely know what this means

well my edit is causing the game to not want to start up, so we're one step closer I think

[misty mulch]

what's the error message

[upper zenith]

I don't see one popping up, would the anomaly logs have it?

[misty mulch]

yes, upload that

[misty mulch]

gmtop = "gamma massive text overhaul project", which was supposed to be a copy edit + typo fix project. it is also responsible for random weapon renaming and added typos such as the infamous "Wastern" RF package. this is because it just makes a copy paste of every single text config in the game.

wrong file. the .log, text document.

NOT the mdmp

[upper zenith]

ah

[misty mulch]

upload the DLTX file you made, you fucked up the syntax

[random fulcrum]

bro

[misty mulch]

remember what i said about "only changing what needs to be changed"?

[misty mulch]

your ENTIRE ltx file should consist of exactly this:

![wpn_k98]
hit_power = 1.45

[upper zenith]

oh

[misty mulch]

also you fucked up and didn't include the ! at the start of the section

and this is exactly why you start clean and not by copying the like, 5gb weapon changing mod

[random fulcrum]

this is why you read guides

[misty mulch]

you need the ! in front of [wpn_k98] to tell the game, "ok I am overwriting this section"

and since the only thing you are changing is hit_power, only include that parameter and nothing else.

[misty mulch]

also that file name won't overwrite mod_system_weapons_damage_GAMMA.ltx lmao

[fair canopy]

Finna' make Gamma Improved Massive (text) Project after 3dss is updated

[misty mulch]

i actually already have a diff spreadsheet of every single text string it alters in en and rus

it's just that there IS a lot of valuable work but also a lot of shit you could hack out. fortunately a simple XML overwrite would work, you wouldn't even necessarily need DXML

[upper zenith]

oh my god

damn you grok

[random fulcrum]

why tho

[misty mulch]

mod_system_w_k98.ltx
mod_system_weapons_damage_GAMMA.ltx

[random fulcrum]

no i mean why blame grok on this

[upper zenith]

because it's funny

[misty mulch]

oh lol yeah this one isn't on grok

this is on you not knowing how computers sort files according to the alphabet ngl

[upper zenith]

mod_system_weapons_damage_GAMMA.ltx so I just need to make one of these that changes k98 as well

only, changes the k98

[misty mulch]

ironically mod_system_wk98.ltx (no extra underscore) WOULD overwrite it

you do not need to put _w_ in the middle. that's just a cute convention.

you could call it mod_system_wtfk98fuckyou.ltx and it would overwrite.

[fair canopy]

You could name it mod_system_z_farts

[misty mulch]

because wt comes AFTER we if you sort alphabetically

[upper zenith]

oh

[misty mulch]

(wk also comes after we because. you know. k comes after e in the alphabet.)

[upper zenith]

now the z comment makes sense

[misty mulch]

yeah, and you shouldn't over use it, because that's how you get stupid amounts of z in the names of these files.

[fair canopy]

[misty mulch]

anyway re-upload your DLTX file when you're done with your edits so we can double check

[upper zenith]

looks like it worky to me

[celest forge]

Just name it mod_system_zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzkarchange to be sure

[misty mulch]

22.8 KB to 28 bytes chat we did it

yeah there you go

[upper zenith]

so the name doesn't really matter as long as it's loading last, so I can put other changes in the same file as well, right?

for guns, meaning

[misty mulch]

you can, remember they need ! before the section name

[upper zenith]

right

[misty mulch]

and at that point i'd probably tell you not to call it wk98, probably sthing like wpn_edits

[upper zenith]

also right

[misty mulch]

but that's just to keep track of things neatly, not a hard technical requirement

and also, yes: you cannot "mass assign" a single change to multiple guns, meaning you can't do this if you wanted to change hit_power for three guns:

![gun_1]
![gun_2]
![gun_3]
hit_power = 2.0

Instead you must do this:

![gun_1]
hit_power = 2.0
![gun_2]
hit_power = 2.0
![gun_3]
hit_power = 2.0

[upper zenith]

also good to know

[random fulcrum]

okay so a takeaway from this is that you don't need to define all 4 hit_powers?

that's interesting

like i mean it makes sense yeah i just never wanted to try it out

[upper zenith]

which strikes me as a little weird because even the weapons_damage_gamma one lists out all 4?

[random fulcrum]

ye one for each difficulty

[misty mulch]

as i understand it, if there's one, it uses that one for all difficulties

[fair canopy]

[misty mulch]

example from basegame is w_m82.ltx

hit_power                   = 3.0

ngl i don't know why they keep listing out all four if they have this fallback because in every example i can find, it's always the same across all difficulties (in basegame)

there's 0 evidence of per-difficulty hit_power tuning

quite possibly an unintended consequence of however the script reads that config, idfk

as in I think it just splits the string on , but obv. If there are no , it just returns the number by itself

[lethal garden]

Wow. I actually found out how to do 'much'. FPS limited @ 40 btw.

But disabling ES & SSS, helped out with all the shadow funk.

Cant stand getting ragged on, instead of getting any 'assistance'

but thanks for trying.

[random fulcrum]

iirc gbo just reads the first number listed and none else

but yeah like it makes perfect sense that only one suffices

[upper zenith]

I've made an mod do I get to be orange now

(do not make me orange)

[random fulcrum]

give my alpha to serious

[drifting moat]

No need for you to lose it. It's not like it's limited anyways

[upper zenith]

the alpha modder role operates on necromonger rules

[misty mulch]

I was making wild ass guesses about vanilla Anomaly but now that you say that, I think GBO does just read first number, not that it really matters

[random fulcrum]

ye

vanilla anomaly's this is inside the source code

i should have notes on that from when i was working on the damage framework

since i wanted to emulate vanilla anomaly's damage entirely in the script layer

[upper zenith]

also how does boar/flesh head damage reduction work, is it just a flat reduction for hits on that area?

[random fulcrum]

open m_boar.ltx

all mutants have hitbox damage modifiers

i don't really remember the structure of the file

i'm at uni

[upper zenith]

think I found it

; Boar Damage
;=================================================================================
[m_Boar_damage]
;bone_name         = <hit_scale>,-1,<wound_scale>

bip01_head             = 0.75, -1, 0.4```

gee bill, three spines?

[random fulcrum]

you know how vertices (and by extension, triangles) are assigned to certain bones for animation purposes

the spine is divided into 3 for animation

but yeah those are the numbers you care about

[upper zenith]

yeah, it's just funnier to imagine boars just have redundant nervous systems, don't worry about it

[random fulcrum]

it's mutated alright

[misty mulch]

the only thing that is important is hit_scale

fyi

[upper zenith]

I figured, but what do the other two do

[misty mulch]

the -1, no one knows. wound_scale afaik affects the size of the damage decal applied on hit

and/or something about ragdolling?

maybe?

Dont fps shame

Some rigs are just born that way

[wide bobcat]

Can anybody tell me what these do in NPC loadout? The 0s and Rs, I want to readd in some old guns and this is the thing that's eluding me.

[wide bobcat]

so the first number stands for attachment flag while the next one is ammo type?

and I add another it will be chance?

[celest forge]

Yes

[wide bobcat]

and by adding up attachment numbers so like say 1 for scope then 2 for gl it will make three?

cause it says +1 or +2

[faint sable]

It’s different in gamma however

Let me find the text that helped me

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

[wide bobcat]

So basically repeat the same gun entry since it ignores normal probability

[faint sable]

Yea

spawn more = more entries, spawn less = less entries

is how I do mine

If you want the exact number, just go by what veer told me

I just guess on mine though

I do however find more of my fwp guns in game consistently, back then all my guns had just a 1% or less spawn rate chance due to me not knowing how the system worked

but we learn

[wide bobcat]

now the next important part is figuring out how to get guns to show up in black market addon, I want to add in some removed guns.

[steady brook]

Nah i’m on dx11 but don’t know why it’s off by default

Can I turn it on?

[fair canopy]

yes

[nocturne night]

is there a way for me to change the first person hands of a specific suit?

[steady brook]

Thx

[verbal siren]

Sure. I did that some time ago. It's in an LTX file of the THAP mod.

Or was it XML?

Anyway, it wasn't hard.

The moddb page has a link to a spreadsheet with all hands models and their IDs.

[lilac idol]

make direct ogf file overwrite via mo2 with the one you want to change

[misty mulch]

thap dltx file yes

[nocturne night]

Thx

[mossy lintel]

how to change the image on the photo of your beloved woman?

[worthy mortar]

Hey @steady apex
Do I make a issue on github or poke the creator of Procedural Movement Animations ?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csvGmJPZdnU

What is basically happening: Equipped Grenade Launchers cause the weapon to ignore blend_move_anims value

[steady apex]

post it in mods page

[worthy mortar]

Did that already. Was just wondering if I should poke them directly too. That's all

[nocturne night]

So I can change in fact the hands of the armors for another type except for the exo skeletons

it looks like there a limitation that prevents me from changing it to one of the regular arms stuff so I would need to do that custom ogf file overwrite that Pillii said

[tulip magnet]

How do I adjust the player damage system now?

I was wanting to adjust the damage from anomalies to be a bit more tame but make bullets more of a danger. I tried adding in an actor.itx file with immunities tweaked but it doesn't seem to have any effects.

[drifting moat]

You need to use DLTX

By just adding an LTX file with stuff in it it won't get read by any scripts

@undone spruce question,
what do i do if i have LEGACY version of substance painter

[verbal siren]

If you won't say what it is, how can we even know if we're able to help?

[fringe marsh]

how would someone make a dual wielding guns mod?

im thinking if there is a way to have 2 of the same one handed weapon (pistols and smgs mostly) as a separate item and then just have it act like a dual wield version

i dont really care about the realism part im just curious since i havent seen a mod like that yet

[jade oxide]

it's doable, just coming with a lot of issues

[fringe marsh]

how did you make it?

and is it uploaded anywhere/

?

[verbal siren]

Something has been on my mind lately: if you add new items to the game, such as guns, you cannot remove the mod if the new item has been spawned somewhere in the world in your save. I don't think the engine has a problem with items that are loose on the ground or in the player's inventory — they just disappear — but if an NPC is carrying an item or it's in a stash, the game crashes due to missing files.

How would you change the logic so that, instead of crashing, the game just removes the problematic item from the NPC/stash or re-rolls for another item?

[novel ruin]

Most of the crash seem to be related to missing model file instead of config missing

[verbal siren]

Ok, but when you put the item on the ground, save, restart the game with the new mod disabled, there is no crash. The item just isn't on the ground anymore.

[drifting moat]

I think you can iterate all Ids check their section and if it matches the one you want to remove then release it. After that the mod should be safe to remove.

[jade oxide]

this was made 10 years ago in TAZ mod, it's a bit outdated now in terms of quality https://www.moddb.com/mods/misery-the-armed-zone/images/dual probably in version 1.7

[drifting moat]

What you say would require engine edits for sure

[fringe marsh]

and it works in anomaly?

oh wait nvm its cop

realistically cant there be a weapon that has animations of a pistol on 2 hands

arent weapons just a class of objects

[jade oxide]

if u edit the configs properly i don't see a reason for it not to work

[fringe marsh]

if i replace the model of an ak i can make it as absurd as i can think

[drifting moat]

Then you would lose the ability to equip anything on the left hand. Or it would make a 3rd hand appear based on the workaround

I think

[fringe marsh]

i mean yea thats the point

it turns from a one handed weapon to a two handed one

no longer able to be placed in one handed slot either due to that limitation too

[drifting moat]

That's an LTX edit away from not being an issue

[fringe marsh]

basically im thinking a drag and drop of 2 pms one onto another and that creates a "dual pm" weapon item that is basically a two handed weapon

true but in that case its the person changing the ltx fault for doing that

as far as i understand (i may be completely wrong) you have to manually do that for the specific weapon

[drifting moat]

I don't know the limitations of this. I am no gun modder, but with scripting and workarounds it would be possible IMO

[fringe marsh]

im just curious about modding and had this idea and thought it would be interesting

realistically i can have any model be replaced with any model i want same as in any other game

[drifting moat]

But how would you handle the shooting animation?

[fringe marsh]

every weapon pack basically adds a gun item that has specific stats including upgrades/fire mode etc and then an associated model

as in firing 1 shot from left hand and then 1 from the right hand changing every time?

[drifting moat]

yes

[fringe marsh]

that can be easily just not be the case and just have them both fire at once

set the accuracy down to 30% of the original accuracy

and just fire 2 bullets in a "burst" fire

[drifting moat]

kinda defeats the purpose I think. At least I would feel like it's lame and pretty sure I'm not alone on that

[fringe marsh]

i was thinking about it in a max payne style mod

i see how it can be interpreted as lame though

im thinking more of a spray and pray thing

[drifting moat]

I think you might be able to set firepos from script though. So with even more scripting you could switch that, but the animation would still be an issue

[fringe marsh]

ye ive looked into firepos which is why i actually kind of began to think about a mod like this

do it yourself

[serene plinth]

im not that talented ..

[summer stream]

to insert a model, find correct animation for it and then just simply put it on correct vertex models?

there is GUIDES for that

[misty mulch]

i stg people have been telling me for a whole year that modded exes have a fallback method for missing models but i've literally never seen anyone make use of that ability ever

fwiw the "safely remove magazines" "mod" does something like what you're Serious is describing - runs a script to delete every instance of magazine items in the game, so that you can remove the mod after

[faint sable]

It’s already a mod

Someone make a mod that makes it so targets of quests don't spawn till you're actually nearby so emissions don't just wipe them out and give you free money for doing nothing. Thanks.

I would if I wasn't completely unskilled in the matter and it would take a long time for me to acquire the skills to see it happen

Sorry

Well then perhaps don't write your idea like a demand

Don't make a problem where there isn't one, settle down.
