Hello, trying to pinpoint where in BHS the "Cough" when irradiated is triggered. The random effect that takes a chunk of damage rather than the normal slow drain. Digging around now but any insight would be appreciated by the more veteran stalkers πŸ™‚

#

i believe thats base anomaly?

#

Ooof, am I blaming the wrong thing? Whups.
Ill do some more digging/testing

it's not from bhs nor vanilla anomaly

Makarov PM replacer WIP 2 (STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl)

more progress on the textures, though not yet finished. OGSR engine for otherwise vanilla Shadow of Chernobyl. recorded at 8k30 for maximum bitrate/crispness. OGSR engine also has a fix for the model precision so it's at full quality rather than the quantized crunchiness in my previous Clear Sky example.

#

evening stalkers, ive been thinking... you know what would make the zone a bit more alive? idle animation!

#

*more idle animation

#

i have experience with blender and animation but i dont know how to code that in yet

#

where does one even start here?

#

what i want to do, specifically, is give NPCs more things to do. checking their pda, staring at a photo of a loved one, inspecting a weapon, looking through binocalurs, that sorta thing.

#

not just while sitting at campfires but when standing guard or while patroling.

random fulcrum
#

inspecting weapon is kinda there, looking through binoculars is there

#

checking pda can be faked with the look for artefact animation

#

i'm guessing gamma broke something that doesn't let these animations play

#

or you just haven't paid enough attention

#

but i'm betting on the former

wintry flax
#

im betting on the latter cause i do have a short attention span lol

#

regardless, i do feel like making the NPCs do more stuff or add variation to existing stuff.

#

we do have a manual or documention on how to add/create mods, right?

onyx ice
#

Guys, do you only discuss mod development and the like here?

random fulcrum
#

yes that is indeed what the title and description of this channel implies yes

onyx ice
#

Is it possible to ask for some advice here, since there are people here who understand modding and know much more about existing mods for Anomaly and GAMMA in particular?

random fulcrum
#

depends on the person really

#

i'm just gonna tell you to go consult the modding book

#

which is in this channel's pins

onyx ice
#

Well, I'm not a modder myself, I'd rather find out if it's possible to do what I want by simply tweaking the config. Since I think that the mod I need doesn't exist at all.

random fulcrum
#

okay big man, first order of business is landing the plane

#

it's cool to have grand ideas, but they need to be realistic for what you can do

onyx ice
random fulcrum
onyx ice
#

And what does that mean? That the idea is stupid or that it's so hard to do?πŸ€”

drifting moat
#

That is not so simple probably

#

I don't even know if those are exposed to Lua or not

onyx ice
# drifting moat That is not so simple probably

Well, I would find their configs and at least look at roughly what and how they are arranged. I understand very little about this, well, at least look, is everything so complicated with them.

drifting moat
#

It can be hard sometimes to find stuff. Especially if you have no idea where to look for them. Like I for example have no idea where to even find looking for a box's health config.

If it's not exposed to Lua as I said then you need to edit the engine code in C++ and recompile the engine for your change to apply.
It is probably in an LTX file though

random fulcrum
#

oh holy shit get this

#

it's inside configs\models\objects\

#

what the fuck is htat

onyx ice
random fulcrum
#

edit box_metall_01.ltx, box_paper.ltx, and box_wood_01.ltx

#

look at their [immunities] section

#

wound_immunity is the damage multiplier for melee

#

fire_wound_immunity is the damage multiplier for bullets

onyx ice
#

Thank you)😊

random fulcrum
#

but yeah this is a cringe idea and i'm angry

onyx ice
#

Why are you angry?πŸ₯Ί

random fulcrum
#

because the mod that changes boxes to be instantly breakable is packed into a db0 file

#

instead of being loose files

#

it's just inexplicable

#

because it's not an ANCIENT prehistoric mod to justify it

#

and there's no real reason to obfuscate the file like that

onyx ice
#

Yes, the fact that all Anomaly files are in db format is very unpleasant, I don't like this db, you can't unpack it in the usual way.
I'll try to find the same file, but in GAMMA, maybe it will work to fix the config.

So I'm wondering if there's any point in unpacking the db files in the Anomaly folder, editing them, packing them back, replacing them, and then finding out that GAMMA has its own modified configs of these files and this whole process simply won't work.πŸ€”

# onyx ice Look, let's say I do all this in the Anomalies folder, but will these changes af...

In general when modding:

  • Try to identify what file(s) you need to change.
  • Check if it's overwritten or patched (Monkey patch, DXML, DLTX) by a mod in G.A.M.M.A (MO2 can help a ton. Check attached image).
  • If not then decide if you want to completely overwrite the db file or patch it.

Case 1
The file exists only as part of a db file (so it's not overwritten by any mod probably)

If you want to completely overwrite the file don't pack it back to db format.
Instead in your mod folder (assuming you created one for your mod) put the file into the appropriate folder (you might need to create one).
Let's take an example. Your file is in the unpacked files let's say it's this file ...\_unpacked\configs\models\objects\box_metall_01.ltx
You would need to in your mod's root folder that you're making (so ...\MyMod\gamedata) folder create the same exact folder structure as for the file you want to overwrite. So if the folders don't exist you have to create this structure ...\MyMod\gamedata\configs\models\objects\box_metall_01.ltx
This now overwrites the packed db file.

Case 2
The file is overwritten by a mod in G.A.M.M.A.

You have to do same thing as with Case 1 except you need to get the file from the mod's folder and edit that instead of editing the unpacked file (this is to ensure you're not rolling back changes another mod made). So scenario time:
box_metall_01.ltx is overwritten by a mod called BetterMetalBoxConfig. You would need to find that file (Check attached image) and then grab it chuck it in your mod's appropriate folder (as explained in Case 1), so ...\MyMod\gamedata\configs\models\objects\box_metall_01.ltx

In your case I suggest you just overwrite the file and not try to patch it.
If you do decide to patch it you will need to use DLTX as @misty mulch points out below. Guide is in the pins from him.

#

Ah yeah it's not monkey patching it's dltx with LTX files. I changed the example to use that after I wrote it because I remembered he wanted to edit those configs

misty mulch
#

If you want to make your own mods, even with direct overwrites - make an empty folder in your GAMMA folder/mods and put your edited files there

#

That way, all your edits will themselves show up as a "mod" in MO2, and it's far neater

drifting moat
#

Okay I edited the message so it isn't using a bad example

misty mulch
#

Modding Anomaly is hard enough but you've chosen to mod a modpack to start, which means navigating 500+ mods worth of conflicts and overwrites, AND you picked an exceptionally tricky goal to start with. I would suggest trying to do something simpler first, just to get used to the environment.

#

Also I'm just gonna say it: the stuff you've been trying to do with gamma is all extremely difficult and is ultimately fighting against what Anomaly is or is not, i.e. it was never an immersive tactical survival shooter. More power to you, but just know that you picked the maximum difficulty starting premise

i think sixsloth got it just purely off the hype of helping me manually go through and do offsets for every single gamma gun when we got excited that Hideout Furnitures 2 finally worked on gamma

whereas i at least forced Rain to do a dltx knowledge quiz to get it lmao

sacred token
#

Just out of curiousity, what does it take to get the Alpha modder role?

misty mulch
#

i genuinely have no idea

#

in reality, i also have no idea for modder role

#

half the time it's "i personally see someone create one bajillion mods and go oh hey should i ask if they want it"

sacred token
misty mulch
#

speaking of @full vessel do you want modder role

misty mulch
sacred token
#

I don't even know what the invictus role is

misty mulch
#

oh kek1 maybe for the best

#

best i can do for alpha modder is "releases a lot of mods that fix longstanding gripes about Anomaly/GAMMA, many of which have been included in GAMMA/are going to be included in GAMMA". That second bit is a call that only Grok can make really

#

and modder is pretty much "you made a post in #1035807043933720576 and it seems legit and someone remembered to give it to you"

#

but as you can tell even for prolific modders they don't always get it. sometimes i assume this is for wild in-joke reasons that i am not privy to

#

but if i'm gonna hand them out like participation stickers i may as well cover a couple of the harder working ones atm ig shrug

onyx ice
# drifting moat In general when modding: - Try to identify what file(s) you need to change. - Ch...

So, in order:

  1. The point under the first dot - Which files need to be changed, @random fulcrum told me, so the point is passed. These are the files: box_metall_01.ltx, box_paper.ltx, and box_wood_01.ltx
  2. The point under the second dot - I have no idea what Monkey patch, DXML, DLTX are, but if by checking you mean searching for files from point 1 by name (as shown in the screenshot), then I did not find any of them.
    Only the file box_paper.ogf came across (see screenshot).
  3. The point under the third dot - By and large, it makes no difference to me whether to completely rewrite the db file or patch it, the main thing is what is safer and easier. I am much more concerned about where I should get the 3 files from point 1 from, if I did not find them by searching in MO2?

Case 1:

If, as you said, the file exists only as part of the db file, then I will have to find the necessary db, unpack it and extract the 3 files I need from there, right?
I understand about replacing via a folder, if the principle is the same as I think, I just need one visual example and that's it.

Case 2:

About the file from the mod folder, in case any mods change any or all files from point 1 - that's clear.
I didn't quite understand about the scenario. Is this your example-assumption or is it a fact that box_metall_01.ltx was overwritten by the BetterMetalBoxConfig mod? Since in point 2 I already said that I didn't find any of the three files by name in MO2.

Well, regarding the advice that it's better for me to just overwrite the files, and not patch them, I first need to find out where to get the files themselves.

8.png
sacred token
#

But whatever, don't care tbh, was just asking out of curiousity

misty mulch
# onyx ice So, in order: 1. The point under the first dot - Which files need to be changed...

Monkeypatch - a way of altering only sections of a script, without completely replacing/overwriting the original script file.
DXML - a way of altering only sections of an XML file, without completely replacing/overwriting the original XML file.
DLTX - a way of altering only sections of an LTX config file, without completely replacing/overwriting the original LTX file.

All three are explained in the Anomaly modding guide: https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/ In particular, read the References -> File Formats section about .ltx files, since you will be editing those.

#

DLTX/DXML etc. are in the modding guide under Tutorials > Addons

#

For your purpose you only need to learn about DLTX

#

And, again, I wrote a DLTX guide, it's pinned here

misty mulch
#

this is separate to MO2 load order by the way, MO2 load order only affects direct file overwrites (i.e. "two files with the same name")

onyx ice
# misty mulch Also I'm just gonna say it: the stuff you've been trying to do with gamma is all...

I know what .ltx files are, when I was little, we liked to play with actor.ltx and user.ltx, increasing weight, making the main character immortal, changing the jump height, etc., sometimes changing the characteristics of artifacts and so on.
Judging by what @random fulcrum wrote above, regarding what I want to do - it sounds very simple, you just need to fix the immunities to different types of damage for boxes.
A much bigger problem is the process of searching for files and, as you said, navigating through GAMMA mods.
Well, Anomalies may not be exactly a tactical survival shooter, but GAMMA is quite a contender for it and I have a lot of arguments in my favor.

misty mulch

misty mulch
# onyx ice Okay, regarding the order of rewriting it seems clear, but where can I get unpac...

Anomaly/tools
edit to add:

  • Case 2: YOU have to check through all of GAMMA's files to see if anything is overwriting the config or section you're trying to edit (this is something you could ask this channel to help you find out)
  • Case 3 is a hypothetical and there is no such thing as a BetterMetalBoxConfig mod, which you could check for yourself by using the MO2 mod name search bar, which I am 100% certain I showed you how to do before?
misty mulch
onyx ice
drifting moat
#

We just got full iron cookware and I never had one before where you xant touch the handles and guess what I grabbed it

misty mulch
#

ouch

#

a mistake you make only once i hope

#

anyway, you learn a lot about GAMMA modpack through careful use of those two MO2 search bars (mod name search + file name search)

#

more advanced stuff requires the ability to search within files, which you can ask us to do for you, but it's worth learning how (requires specific softwares though)

onyx ice
misty mulch
# onyx ice Unpacker found it, thanks! Well, if I didn't find the files I was looking for in...

If a file doesn't turn up in MO2 search, that means it's not included in the GAMMA modpack, yes.

At that point, you move onto looking through the _unpacked folder that the unpacker.bat tool made for you. This contains all the configs + scripts that are normally compressed into the .db0 files that come with Anomaly.

And to save you time: yes, nothing in GAMMA overwrites box_metall_01.ltx, box_paper.ltx, or box_wood_01.ltx

#

let me annotate my results for you

onyx ice
sharp arrow
#

OI is there any file i can edit, for example a line or two on actor.ltx that would add/restore the slight health restoration like the OG stalker games

#

IIRC Anomaly has the natural restoration as well but I think GAMMA disables it?

misty mulch
#

and by "here" I mean "I put a copy of _unpacked into my Anomaly root folder"

#

i would recommend at this point, that you create a blank mod folder and from there, create three DLTX files (one per config) to overwrite just the immunities section of each, so that you are only changing what needs to be changed

misty mulch
sharp arrow
#

Yeah neither could I, but i know it's coming from SOMEWHERE that I think gamma is disabling so my fear is slapping a mod on to add such an effect might be a lil harsh on the compatibility side

#

Well live and learn I'll do my bes t

onyx ice
misty mulch
#

because that param doesn't even exist in base anomaly, therefore, they need to look elsewhere for the answer

onyx ice
#

Yes, that's probably true.

onyx ice
misty mulch
#

read the text in the image as for "why"

onyx ice
onyx ice
misty mulch
#

as momo said hours ago #β•™πŸ–‡mods-making-discussion message
you are ONLY editing the [immunities] section within each of those .ltx files. You should do this with DLTX. Finish reading my DLTX guide first, try to follow it to make your own DLTX files, show us what you've made so we can help you with that

#

but i for one do not want to make your mod for you.

onyx ice
misty mulch
# onyx ice No, not literally all files, but only these 4, related to the boxes, but so that...

It is still better to do DLTX, firstly, the core principle again is "only change what needs to be changed" (which DLTX enables). Copying the entire file to make a change to 3 characters is no good

Second, it's bad for compatibility, if in the future any other mod wants to alter some other aspect of that .ltx file, they would have to completely overwrite YOUR copy if they also went with "let me just copy the file". Using DLTX is meant to avoid these scenarios entirely

If you don't care at all about these things, and you're only making this mod for yourself with no intention of sharing your changes, sure, it'll work. But many things in GAMMA can only be altered through DLTX anyway (because as I previously mentioned, DLTX takes priority over loose config files) and so you may as well use this opportunity to learn how to use that system

#

think I missed one of the flea market ones

#

I was double checking from gammas economy to make sure I got them all

#

but that should be basically all of them

misty mulch

feels insane when the only thing that's gonna be in all these mod_trade_whatever files is

; Reduce buy price for cleaning and repair kits
#include "presets\trade_presets_tgr.ltx"
``` for me but whatever
faint sable

think I also misnamed loris ltx

#

think it needs a stalker_

just be sure to confirm all the ltxs just in case, I probably missed some tbh

#

now that I am looking at them entirely

misty mulch
#

mostly i'm using what you did as a reference

faint sable
#

yea should be good then

misty mulch
#

i just copied over all the trade_whatever.ltx files from GAMMA Economy + batch renamed them with Powershell to be mod_(original file name)_tgr.ltx

#

then CTRL-A CTRL-V CTRL-S for 28 files keksad

undone spruce
#

cant you like, create 1 file, copy it 27 times and rename them to the originals?

then replace the originals

#

or a batch text editor

misty mulch
#

because the computer won't mess up the rename. if you asked me to hand-type 28 file names? I might.

undone spruce
#

pretty sure that can be automated, yet, id still prefer the batch text editor

misty mulch
#

(the real reason I manually blanked the files is that I also had to check if that specific trader .ltx file allowed them to buy repair/crafting kits)

misty mulch
#

that's what powershell enables on windows

#

if you meant me replacing the file contents - as i said, i actually did need to open each file and check to see if that specific trader config allowed them to buy repair/cleaning kits. because if that trader already doesn't buy kits, no need for me to make a DLTX for them

#

i'm just complaining because it's my god given right

Well, well, well... well, what can I say. At first, nothing worked at all, but only because I forgot to create the configs folder in the path to the file, well, a typical beginner's mistake, so to speak.
But then, it got even stranger:
Changing the immunities worked, but the principle of their operation is absolutely incomprehensible to me. Reminds me of one case when I tried to change the artifact configurations back in Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl and there was something similar, but I don't remember the reasons anymore.
The strangeness of the immunities is this:
When changing the standard values ​​to any others, the boxes become completely indestructible for both knives and firearms, and even when falling on them from a height, they do not break, and it does not matter whether I set the value to 100.5 or 0.0005, there is no difference. And even if I return all the values ​​in my DLTX file to those in the original file, the boxes will still remain indestructible, I'm already confused. I really hope I'm doing something wrong.
P.S. For the sake of purity of the experiment, I even started a new game for each test.☹️

can anyone point me to the ltx for this version of the skorpion? its the 9x19 version with no upgrades. idk if its a base anomaly gun or added in a mod by gamma, i wanna make it one handed and able to be slotted in pistol slot

misty mulch
#

you might need to reference it against the updated Weapons Database to make sure it correctly edits the guns that are in GAMMA now, but the method is the same

alpine wraith
#

ive done it before for the pp2000 but the file ive found for the skorpion says vz61 and changing it but it had no effect

#

cant find the vz68 file

misty mulch
#

or in the future - start in debug mode, use the item spawner, hover over the weapon, it'll say the item ID as well

alpine wraith
#

awesome thanks for your help

misty mulch
#

lol and yeah despite the name being "Skorpion vz. 68", the item ID is wpn_vz61

alpine wraith
#

right ive found that ltx but when i changed it the way i did for the pp2000 it had no effect

#

ima try again

misty mulch
#

you can also check the mod i posted too

#

use that to doublecheck your method

rare sage
#

is there a list of what trade config is which trader?

alpine wraith
# misty mulch use that to doublecheck your method

so i got the vz61 ltx from the extracted anomaly files and edited that, thats the original and where i got it from in the first pic and file structure and edit i made in the second, tried it just now and the skorpion still wont cooperate smh

#

no matter what it's always safer to make a DLTX override instead of trying to do a config overwrite

#

you're in luck because my DLTX guide even uses the example of making the Kiparis one-handed to show off how to write a DLTX file

But then your file name should win the load order for all 3 (if another dltx is present for the other guns)

here is what i have

alife_clone_weapon_original = nil
function kit_override_clone_weapon(se_obj, section, parent_id)

        return alife_clone_weapon_original(se_obj, w_kit_override_list[section], parent_id)
    end
end

function on_game_start()
    if not clone_weapon_original then
        alife_clone_weapon_original = _G.alife_clone_weapon

drifting moat
#

So if it's an overridden kit then you pass a different weapon for cloning?

quartz hill
#

yeah

drifting moat
#

I get what this does, but what's the purpose exactly?

quartz hill
#

well all i wanted to do was just make the sr2m upgrade kit for the wpn_sr2_veresk turn it into the wpn_sr2_m1 (with the rails + a laser) instead of the wpn_sr2_veresk_sr2_upkit (only the kp sr2 sight)

#

but attaching scopes is handled kinda weirdly where it just appends the attachment section name onto the weapon section name and looks for a valid section for that

#

also i don't know lua so i basically had to teach myself to make this skull4k

drifting moat
#

Ah okay I get that. But wouldn't a DLTX be simpler for this?

#

Like I imagine upgrade kits are configured like that

quartz hill
#

like changing the section name of the attachment?

drifting moat
#

I have no idea how it works I'm just guessing

#

You could do a search in LTX files for the upkit's section and try to find out

quartz hill
#

yeah i did that and as i said it just appends the attachment's section name to the weapon's section name, like wpn_sr2_veresk + sr2_upkit = wpn_sr2_veresk_sr2_upkit

#

and it checks for a section named exactly that to clone as a weapon

#

so there is no in-ltx way to change what the kit turns it into

#

i will ss the sections and functions involved rq

#

the one line that allows the veresk to take the kit is this

image.png
#

originally i tried to make an item_combination recipe through a mod_craft but it would make the gun full condition with all green parts

fair canopy
#

You need an new script to pass the conditions from the old gun to the new one

for the item combination?

would that be better than just monkeypatching the clone weapon?

hey guys im making a mutant rework.
where there are larger groups of mutants. and
zombified stalkers only have a knife.
and they move alot faster.
while editing the (npc_loadouts_zombied.ltx)
i made all the weight values as such: [zombied_novice_primary]
wpn_fort:0:0:0
wpn_mp443:0:0:0
wpn_aps:0:0:0
wpn_oc33:0:0:0

wpn_vz61:r:0:0
wpn_kiparis:0:0:0
wpn_vityaz:0:0:0

and then in gamma there is a secondary npc_loadouts_zombied.ltx in
C:\gamma\mods\86- G36Pack - Strogglet15\addons\NPC Files\gamedata\configs\items\settings\npc_loadouts

that had just gun names.

wpn_knife

[zombied_experienced_primary]

[zombied_veteran_primary]
wpn_knife

[zombied_master_primary]

but they all just spawn with a fort pistol now.
what am i doing wrong??

ah wait!! is it because there arent any values put in for all the classes of zombies:

primary = zombied_novice_primary

# fast dirge Would it be possible to swap the Burer and Controller models to Mario and Luigi ...

Blender. Put the models of Luigi and Mario almost in identical poses which Burer and Controller has. After that select the Burer/Controller model, selecting Mario/Luigi next so they would be lighten up with orange instead of red. After that you go into edit mode and change it to WEIGHT mode. Then you TRANSFER the weight, not by active layer, by name. After that you check if they look right, in case it's not, you fix it manually and then you assign the model to the skeleton AND don't forget the armature.

You would also need BUMP which is made via normal. Guide in pinned.

Aloha, GAMMA brethren Chadge

βš›οΈ News from the Anomaly engine modding skunkworks βš›οΈ
I rewrote the STALKER script engine in Lua, to clean up its old C++ implementation and lay groundwork for future modder QoL improvements. Nestable directories, conformant Lua 5.1, scriptable scripts, new classes of mod - a more flexible implementation opens up all manner of possibilities.

However, since it's a fundamental system that touches all scripts, the core of it needs rigorous testing before it can go into modded exes.
As such, I thought I'd reach out to Anomaly's biggest active userbase in search of testers; I've done some local verification with GAMMA and other modlists, but need as much coverage as possible to avoid breaking anything before release.

If interested, further details and test builds can be found on its xray-monolith pull request page:

I asked these questions on the main channel, but I think it would be more correct to ask those who make mods:

  1. Is it possible to disable all pop-up text on the screen and how difficult is it? (examples of text on screenshots)
    Because it seems like it’s not difficult, but this is from my layman’s point of view. As if it’s worth finding out which configs/scripts and lines in them are responsible for which text and fixing them, but I don’t even know how to find out.
    And suddenly any of this can be disabled in the settings or MSM.
    Of course, they sent me a link to this mod, but according to the description it’s for version 0.9.1, so I’m not sure about its compatibility + it only disables one type of pop-up text.
    https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/location-discovery-text-disabled-for-g-a-m-m-a2
  2. Is it possible to return the MC's passive health regeneration by default, but make it very, very weak, but at the same time reduce the regeneration speed near fires?
    Thank you all in advance for your answers!

  1. If you want to start moddig the game it's essential you learn how to find stuff on your own (+I'm on phone rn so can't help). I suggest you save my reply where I explained how to find overwriting files and refer to that in the future. Also keep the DLTX guide that @misty mulch made close by + use the Anomaly modding book that is in the pinned messages (or just look it up onlina) and save as bookmark.

When I need to find a feature and don't have an idea what mod/file it is in I do the following:

  • Look for any text that I know the mod/script in qurstion uses at some point.
  • Do a file content search (I use TotalCommander fir this) in .xml files for the text I have. That will lead you to the localization file of that text.
  • From the localization file grab the ID of the text you just found.
  • Do another file content search. This time in .script files and search for the ID that you got.

This will lead you to the script file where it is used, so you found the mod.
In your case those popup texts are probably some core feature, so if you want to disable all of them I would monkey patch that function to do nothing (literally make the function just return false).

  1. Try to find what mod adds the healing at campfires and replicate that without the check for a nearby campfire.
#

Maybe this could even get pinned? It is useful stuff idk if the book has something like this or if similar help is pinned.

# woven obsidian btw is it possible to create a new faction?

yes but the system isn't very amenable to modding. any two mods that add a new faction or even change the relations between the existing ones will need a hand crafted compatibility patch. dltx can't manage multiple edits to the faction matrix without everything breaking.

Hello people !!

How do I get an item to be 'craftable' ? I want to be able to 'CRAFT' a certain fridge, which I've created as part of a mod.

Now, this 'FRIDGE' is a new item and I can spawn it from the debug/tools section, or even find it at traders by adding the appropriate configs/items/mod_trade ltx files for traders.

BUT, I want this fridge to be ONLY craftable, and the recipie I want to set is --

1 'basic' fridge
1 'grav' artefact
5 capacitors
30 'scrap'

(Yeah I haven't thought too much about the balance bit for this :P)

misty mulch
#

recipes can have 2-4 input items so your proposed recipe would work

i want to edit grok_bo.script to add the vssk as a sniper and didn't want to modify the original script so in case it breaks something i can just untick the mod in mo2

simple scaffold
#

you can do that simply by having a copy of the script in your own mo2 mod that you edit. if it is lower in the load order it will replace the orginal script when the game runs. uncheck and it goes back to the original.

if you ever want to make it into a published mod you can look into changing your edits into a monkey patch.

bronze apex
#

not to publish but if it's a monkey patch it means if the original is updated, the mod doesn't revert the changes

also i want to learn because i have the time rn kek1

oh so its recipe_table[1] is not the key the of the table 100% of the time, so when you index it, it will return nil and then when you index a nil with recipe_table[2] it will crash

ini_gun_craft:section_for_each(function(recipe_section)

check if key exist in a table first then override it

wait i can't add a new weapon to the table like this? or am i dumb

ini_gun_craft:section_for_each(function(recipe_section)
    local count = ini_gun_craft:line_count(recipe_section) or 0
    for i = 0, count-1 do
        local result, recipe, override = ini_gun_craft:r_line(recipe_section, i, "", "")
        local recipe_table = str_explode(recipe, ":")
        if w_kit_override_list[recipe_table[1]] then
            w_kit_override_list[recipe_table[1]][recipe_table[2]] = override
        else
            w_kit_override_list[recipe_table[1]] = {}
            w_kit_override_list[recipe_table[1]][recipe_table[2]] = override

it will create an empty table then you can insert the value into it

i want to have one key for each base weapon, and then a nested table with keys that are the kits and values that are the overrides

What mod are you making?

#

Hello, I'm trying to make a super-simple mod for changing some item-related variables (things like allowing small SMGs/shotguns in the pistol slot, or adding some crafting recipes etc). These things do work in my GAMMA install if I edit the mod that features them last in the load order, but I'm trying to make a standalone mod that has all these edits so I don't have to re-do all of them manually each time GAMMA updates. I have no idea how to do this, though. Any help appreciated!

# drifting moat Read this it can help you. https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/96769...

Thank you, but I already know what kind of change needs to be made - I'm not looking for the files to do so. For example, I have added the new crafting recipes to the game's "craft.ltx" file, and they work just fine. I have edited the weapon .ltx files to make "slot = 1" and "hand_dependence = 0". The changes work - I just want to consolidate them in one mod, rather than have them spread out over 100 mods in GAMMA. I tried making a new mod, with subfolders "gamedata/configs", and placing a new .ltx file in there, with simple test contents - in this case, "![wpn_vz61] \n slot = 2", just to see if the new mod works. But there is no effect. This is the part I'm struggling with. I assume that the filename of the .ltx file is somehow important, but I don't know where to look for the naming conventions, or if there's a master load file with all the "include" statements or whatever.

Kind classy gentlemen, I have come here with quite the inquiry.

Screenshot_7038.png
#

So.

lethal garden
# lethal garden So.

Concerning hand animations for firearms. For example, the short Model 1887 Shotgun displayed here, it had a shoot animation that was this HORRIBLE terminator-like 'flip' simulating working the 'lever' to load another shell into the chamber. The long version of the Model 1887 Shotgun was the more practical, more acceptable , NORMAL way of using a lever-gun.

#

So I went into the weapons ltx, replaced the Short 1887 shoot anim with the shoot anim of the Long 1887 Shotgun.

#

This indeed, replaced the horrible terminator flip animation.

#

So, QUESTION IS: To what extent can I replace one firearms animations with another.

#

Example, I like the RWAP Rifles, but Im not a fan of the C-Clamp position that the hands are holding it. Can I replace this 'animation' or whatever it may be, with the one from the m4a1_siber? Would this change the way that Rifle is being held?

But I would rather find a way to get the object instead of the section where you need it.

#

And then call IsWeapon(). I wouldn't use the string method myself for sure

novel ruin
#

I do know a way which is not very not optimized, basically i can get a list of all weapon section in the game and i can check if the section is in there or not. Not optimized because the list is about 500 items

#

Maybe im just being paranoid friendlyrope

drifting moat
#

What it is you're trying to achieve exactly? Like gimme more context

#

Worst case you spawn the item by section then pass that to IsWeapon

#

Then delete the item xdd

#

You could swap the firing animations of the 1887 because I pretty much animated just the shorter one and made a shooting variant for the terminator flip

#

But they're not two different sets of animations

#

You can't swap animations from one set with another's interchangeably because that will break the shooting in 99.9% of cases

asked on anomaly server, but maybe someone have a cent for it

#

quick question from someone who knows dogshit about coding:

is there any possibility to implement a dryfire animation for revolvers, without modifying the exes?

when a dryfire occurs (firing with no ammo and no jam), the game runs a OnEmptyClick function (from WeaponMagazined.cpp), with a anm file as declared on empty_click from the gun's ltx, as such, my idea is having a script that would play a hud animation (such as a hammer and cylinder cycling from a revolver) instead of the anm animation, but would not do it when jammed
not just revolvers, but any DAO guns
