[undone spruce]

i really have no way to check, you sure its on a proper dxt version?

its pulling as bc7

shouldnt be transparent in your game tho

[slow bolt]

what?

you mean the texture

not pc

i hope

[undone spruce]

only trustable way to check the bc version of a dds file is through texdiag

[slow bolt]

or you can just save it as the version you want

[undone spruce]

i mean

check the textures already made

[slow bolt]

should be bc3 dxt5

[undone spruce]

im checking

turns out some of mine exporte in bc7, gotta redo them

[summer stream]

they are

BC7

dont fucking touch em

[summer stream]

DONT TOUCH THEM

THAT BC7 OF MINE IS NORMAL FOR TEXTURES

IM GOING TO STRANGLE YOU

[fair canopy]

Did the issue exist if you don't have a texture at all?

[slow bolt]

NO

MAKE NORMAL TEXTURES

BC3

[summer stream]

i didn't try that but i disabled bump on it

[summer stream]

NOOO I DON'T WANT TO SEE COMPRESSION ON MY PRECIOUS 1K TEXTURE

FUCK YOUUUUU

[summer stream]

the model is right there so ur free to explore

same with textures

[undone spruce]

Its a 15+ year old game, adapt

No but really, try converting to bc3 just to check, tho idk why that would still happen

[novel ruin]

poor guy, what software you use to export texture?

[undone spruce]

i have a gun thats not playing inspect anims except for first draw

and the unjam

for apparently no reason

bry why this game

apparently a mistype in the anime name, there was nothing wrong with it

[quartz hill]

is it possible to write to system.ltx?

[fair inlet]

if you mean editing, yes
95% of dltx files do that

[quartz hill]

via script i mean

[random fulcrum]

you technically could do so but why would you even do that

[quartz hill]

uh i want to add values to the scopes field for some weapons

sounds like that is a bad idea?

[fair inlet]

you sure just regex + dltx wouldn't work?

[random fulcrum]

yeah

why the fuck would you do that

[quartz hill]

well i would like to do it dynamically but if it isn't a good idea i can always do it manually

[random fulcrum]

might aswell make a batch file that does it

instead of having a fucking script do that INGAME

??????????

[quartz hill]

mb i'm new to modding i didn't think it would be such a bad idea

[sudden inlet]

But still is there any way to change ltx values before the game starts by using script?
Primarily interested in adjusting armor values to some random values

[random fulcrum]

could check out how demonized's artefact variationizer mod works for info on this

it does what you're looking for technically but for artefacts

[sudden inlet]

Insane, brother, thank you

[sudden inlet]

@rough lion that actually was a dead ass idea to use faction voice for voiced actor, but unfortunately there are too many context voiceover mismatches between available faction sounds and voiced actor
I'm carefully looking into maybe it's possible to use an AI, but that's probably a dead end
Here is a list to just show how many lines are needed:

guys i have a question

whats the alternative mod for models in gamma

I suggest the second option and please read pinned messages there

[summer stream]

blender

[summer stream]

no wait

paint.net

[summer stream]

Mesh problem

mag doesnt have any texture

fixed

i suppose UV map broke

[tiny goblet]

another question

can u use sshders in dx8?

or dx9?

[novel ruin]

Depends, mostly no. None work with dx8 and very few work with dx9

[tiny goblet]

whats for dx9

what the best u can reco.

[novel ruin]

2d shader scope, a limited port(?) of parallex reflex sight

[tiny goblet]

hmm

[novel ruin]

Sss does have some feature that work with dx9 like dof

[tiny goblet]

waait is it built in the gamma list?

i mean is it in one of th folders

also what about the graphicss tho i wnna makee thee game look errie aand dark

[novel ruin]

Ok 2dss dont work with dx9

[novel ruin]

in dx9 modlist, no. tho the most of the features in sss doesnt work in dx9 anyway, only basic one.

[novel ruin]

the best you can do is download compatible old weather mod and adjusting the colour settings in the menu.

here is one that i use https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/michikos-weather-revamp-revised

and this :https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/dynamic-time-based-tonemap-extended

[toxic frost]

When using the RF receiver, wiping your visor causes the actor to put away the receiver when doing so. It would be neat if there was a mod that added an animation where the actor would clear their visor with the back of their wrist - while still holding onto the RF receiver. This could probably work with artifact detectors and glow sticks as well. I don't know anything about animation, so I'm tossing this into the void.

[sonic bolt]

Is there a guide for how icons are made? Trying to make some adjustments to some mods I have

[celest forge]

Depends on what you want to make an icon of

[sonic bolt]

I'm just thinking of rearranging some icons like making Frosty's SVDs inv_grid size 2s and fixing the SA-58 drum mag icons

I saw something in the pins by verseerif for icons so I might give that a try

[fair canopy]

What's wrong with the drum icons?

[sonic bolt]

It's overlapping with the vector stick mags

I think I can figure out how to fix it myself

But I'm a lil doubtful

[fair canopy]

It shouldn't be

[sonic bolt]

Managed to make a quick fix but I think it must be some kind of mod order issue

Some of FWP's mag inv grids are off for me

what is db.actor and where can I find the file containing everything it has?
on domizedexes git found some definitions https://github.com/themrdemonized/xray-monolith/blob/fdf8a0b25c5339ec1cb691e6af51969ef4bee2a8/src/xrGame/script_game_object_script3.cpp#L229

Starting up my search again today but just in case someone already knows where the X is- would anyone happen to know where I might find the file(s) pertaining to name generation?

I'm trying to make a comprehensive offline name generator and was wanting to add in Anomaly/Gamma options as a toggle for increased results.

[olive flint]

would there be any way for me to change how many mags certain armors hold for the mag mod in gamma?

[fair canopy]

yes. theres a loadout config ltx

find it in the mag mod configs and edit it

[olive flint]

im lookin but i cant find anything (not like i now what im looking at either)

nvm i found it

[fair inlet]

@random fulcrum do you know if adding misfire_start_prob_k to silencers would have any effect?

[random fulcrum]

nah it's not a parameter in the engine

you could do that script side question mark but it would be super finnicky

as it wouldn't interact with the engine jam chance

then again, people are born using wpo, and that mod already has its own separate jam math that runs at the same time as engine jams

[fair inlet]

yeah
I think wpo doesn't take silencers into consideration even when calculating damage to parts

[random fulcrum]

it doesn't

damage is fixed

random between 5 and 12

you could make the silencer increase the damage the barrel can take

wpo also doesn't take into account k_impair from ammo, which is a modifier for condition_shot_dec in the engine

but i wouldn't add that considering it's yet another completely hidden modifier to the player

[fair inlet]

ammo impair is probably redundant if there's no old ammo

[random fulcrum]

ye but still knowing how hilarious gbo values are

you never know

you could have a situation like how 7.62x54ap has 0.05 k_air_res

while the other ones have 0.25

oh, also, wpo ONLY cares about condition_shot_dec, so the degradation modifier from silencers doesn't do anything

[fair inlet]

yeah that's what I meant

silencers don't have any debuffs

apart from tiny engine jam chance increment

[signal edge]

Out of curiousity, what part of the code is adding the laser module to the side of certain guns like the bizon or is it just part of the base model?

0 chance someone will send it i guess

[main plover]

Bigger than here

[novel ruin]

It is, you will need to open the file in windows-1251 encoding to display it normally

[celest forge]

Yeah those can't be done in X-ray

There's no proper metallic shader

At best you get that oily plastic look

[undone spruce]

ass

I guess ill turn into light grey with heavy sheen

[celest forge]

Yeah that's what I do

Or

Dark gun metal

[regal bolt]

Oh. That's cool

[random fulcrum]

open and save with the encoding because otherwise they'll be forever corrupted, even if you open it with the encoding

[naive snow]

Sure, what's your main issue with your existing workflow?

Any modders know if theirs a tool to check a THM or a texture dds that is linked to a specific model? example : ar15m.thm but I don't know the exact model that texture uses, it'd help greatly, if not it's all good

[fair canopy]

Is it a random texture you foubd

[faint sable]

yea I wanna see if it's linked to a current model or not

so I can either delete it or keep it

[fair canopy]

Not that I know of. I guess the easiest thing to do would be to delete it and then pull out any guns that it might seem to go to

[undone spruce]

delete the texture and spawn guns till the console start talking shit

[misty mulch]

yeah it 100% is - technically for all files you wanna make sure you open them in Windows-1251 encoding (on Notepad++, Encoding > Character sets > Cyrillic > Windows-1251) since it defaults to UTF-8

Most of the time this doesn't hugely matter, unless you're editing .xml files, in which case saving a file while you're in UTF-8 will irreversably break the file if you opened something that had anything in Cyrillic

this is actually something that GMTOP fixes for GAMMA, gamma by default had a couple of .xml files accidentally saved in UTF-8 which made all those strings unreadable for Russian players

[regal bolt]

Ohhhh

So that is why GMTOP stayed in despite somewhat of a backlash

Thanks for clarifying ^^

[misty mulch]

gmtop for all its flaws, does do a good amount of useful copy edits

[supple glade]

help, I swapped some animations for FDDA, but for some reason it doesn't work for glucose and glucose_s, plz help.

[random fulcrum]

read the dltx guide that's in the pins

your file doesn't have the right name

[terse idol]

Are there any mods which add Ukrainian Military Marches or Patriotic radio or something? I'm thinking about a Military playthrough and would like to know if there are any such mods anywhere.

[celest forge]

@random fulcrum I'm trying to add a new placeable explosive, and the two sections (Main section for the name and price and icon, etc and the section with all the explosion's parameters) are defined in a script, so my guess is that too add a new item I need to add it to this script txr_mines.script

[random fulcrum]

i don't remember how to insert to tables in lua but that shit is piss easy

and i'm sleepy

you first need to unlocalize those tables tho

since otherwise you can't access them from outside that script file

any actual programmers in chat

[celest forge]

https://tenor.com/view/byuntear-bob-sponge-spongebob-cry-sad-gif-25905087

[drifting moat]

Unlocalizing variables is pretty easy too. In the configs folder you need to create a folder called unlocalizer (don't remember if needs to be plural or not.
Then you create an .ltx file with whatever name. In the .ltx file you just do this

[txr_mines]
FX_BY_SECTION
EXPLOSIVE_SECTION_LOOKUP

And that's it. Now you can access those 2 variables from anywhere like so -> txr_mines.FX_BY_SECTION

[blissful marsh]

Greetings stalkers, I have been sent here to ask you my quastions as I was too much in general chat 🙂

I would like to know is there a stable mod compilation for warfare ?

Would like to play warfare as it is like warzone, and I love it, the story is kinda mellow

I do not know what u guys did but on Anomaly its working fine but Gamma not...

ohhh and another q, I would like to tune powered armours, and whole consumable mechanic as downing pill one after the other is not realistic, low action time...

where can i find scripts and configs, u moved things around

[bronze apex]

this is not the channel to ask about existing mods, ask in general or look in #1035807043933720576 or moddb

[drifting moat]

Poor guy being ping ponged between chats

[drifting moat]

Warfare mode is not really playable in GAMMA, because it performs very poorly. It isn't supported either. Idk of any mods that help with that.

For your other question about drugs. If you want to make it more realistic there is a mod idk the exact name Body Health System Realistic Overhaul? Maybe. If you want it less realistic ask in newbies chat how to disable the body health system completely.

[sonic bolt]

Can someone help me find out what's wrong with my mags edit? I'm trying to add mags from a MAC-10 mod I have to Juan's Grease Gun but the gun doesn't seem to get the right base type

nvm, the extra basetype was messing it up

[regal bolt]

Hey guys, just wondering; how can I remove specific guns from the game?

I know GAMMA does it, because there are certain guns with bad animations, but how can I do that myself?
Is there a script that I have to modify, or some code that I have to write?

A few of my guns have been a bit glitchy, so I've been looking to remove them from the game

[misty mulch]

gamma "removes guns" by just not putting them in npc loadouts and not putting them in trader stock profiles

[regal bolt]

ah alright
how can I do that?

[misty mulch]

as for how to do that - depends on the gun mod.

[regal bolt]

what would I do for the SCAR-H Specialist?

3DSS seems to glitch out for me whenever I use it, so I want to see if I can get rid of it

[misty mulch]

why not reinstall 3DSS first before you reach for the "remove gun" solution

[regal bolt]

I've tried

[misty mulch]

cos the scar h works fine for most

[regal bolt]

I'm currently using 3DSS 2.28

[lilac idol]

the Mossberg Reanimation includes a script that allows to remove guns from loadouts

[regal bolt]

2.29 only has a patch for the Groza

[lilac idol]

it was also made by demonized so it certainly works

[regal bolt]

good to know

how can I use that to remove guns?

[misty mulch]

oh wait do you mean the FN SCAR-H "Specialist Operator"?

wpn_scar_siber_m2_custom

[regal bolt]

yeah that one

[misty mulch]

that shit is ALREADY removed from gamma by default

[regal bolt]

the one with the holo sight and magnifier

[misty mulch]

it's not supposed to drop anywhere, no wonder it's fucked with 3DSS

[regal bolt]

huh

[misty mulch]

3DSS only covers guns that drop normally in gamma by default. for other guns you need to get a 3DSS patch for them.

[regal bolt]

so it still appears in debug menu?

but it just doesn't drop in game?

[misty mulch]

there are like 400+ guns in the debug menu and only ~150 of them drop normally in gamma.

just because the gun is in debug, doesn't mean that it drops normally in gamma

[regal bolt]

ah alright then

[misty mulch]

check the weapons database if you want to see which guns normally drop https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-uQhAhds1beLtSAdaO-eUdXqnvriIwfNjXrKbiWmklM/edit?gid=851222830#gid=851222830

[regal bolt]

alright, thanks, I'll check it out

that clears things up then

also, unrelated, but I looked for some graphics mods in the #1035807043933720576 channel and came across a graphics pack called XTREME Graphics Pack
but it said that the channel was locked and closed
do you know why?

[misty mulch]

because the guy kept pirating shit and also was not good at making mods to boot

[regal bolt]

ah alright then

[misty mulch]

don't use that "pack".

[regal bolt]

yeah I see the message now
just had to scroll down a bit

[regal bolt]

alright I won't

[fair canopy]

we really should make a blacklister so that people cant spawn random shit in debug

maybe ill make one

[misty mulch]

wasn't someone else here working on a "debug menu has a tooltip saying which guns drop normally in gamma" project

[fair canopy]

i think so

[sudden inlet]

Isn't it just 1-2 person who does that? I mean, who cares if they got issues but I would love to steal your code for filtering only real guns for #1383353209053118525

[fair canopy]

enough people do it where its annoying to explain that they cant just pull random shit

this is a base anomaly file. you put in the item secion and it stops the debug from showing it

[quartz hill]

@novel ruin hello how is your day

[novel ruin]

fine, i hope

[quartz hill]

do you know how to add stuff to the item details tab

like in a preexisting section of it

[novel ruin]

Like you want to add a properties in an existing item section?

[quartz hill]

like add in another scope/kit basically

[novel ruin]

Or you mean the tooltip ui in inv?

[quartz hill]

details tab

i could dltx it but where's the fun in that

[novel ruin]

Idk, revert engineering other tooltip mod like updrage in tooltip

[novel ruin]

Wdym, like you want to add a property into a item section of the game?

[quartz hill]

like you know how scopes/kits show up in the details tab

it reads off the scopes field

[novel ruin]

You want to add a scope into a gun?

[quartz hill]

like yeah but no

[novel ruin]

Just explain it fully

[quartz hill]

when you right click weapon > details

it shows the scopes the gun can take

i want to add to that

[novel ruin]

to what

[quartz hill]

i'm gonna go insane

[novel ruin]

its alr exist, why do you want to add it

[quartz hill]

add to it

[novel ruin]

oooooh, so you want to add scope to the weapon>detail thing, but without actually adding a scope to the gun

[quartz hill]

yeah

maybe this is why i'm failing english

[novel ruin]

nah i was just reading too fast, i have no idea. maybe look into some base anomaly code

[quartz hill]

i was looking at demonized's supporting materials in details mod but that looks like black magic

i also tried monkeypatching parse_list from _g and it worked but i'm not sure if that is a good way to go about it

[novel ruin]

if there is no other mod that seem to monkey patch it then you should maybe be fine with that

[quartz hill]

i'll check though n++ if there is anything that does

in gamma

[novel ruin]

some mod does monkey patch base anomaly code

[quartz hill]

well maybe not parse_list hopefully

ok thanks for the feedback

[novel ruin]

i was doing absolutely nothing other than confusing me and you so yw

[quartz hill]

i think we were confusing each other

[undone spruce]

is there any documentation about motion marks?

[novel ruin]

motion marks?

[undone spruce]

yeah, my main issues are which ones are used rn, by which scripts, and if it shold be put on the gun or hand motion

[novel ruin]

no, stalker script pretty much have 0 documentation, the most you will find is in lua_help.script or axr_main.script file

[undone spruce]

tbh im only interested in the reload and unjam marks

[undone spruce]

i think ive figured it out

in case someone needs it (probably future me), the reload can be defined by NewGroup0 and the unjam by clear_jam according to aoldri's script

[undone spruce]

now i only need 25acp and 380acp shooting sounds

[celest forge]

https://tenor.com/view/jfk-clone-high-i-like-your-funny-words-magic-man-jack-black-gif-18659433

[fair inlet]

iirc reload mark is handled in engine and doesn't require a specific name.
this causes an issue with unjam marks, as unjamming animation will also reload the gun

the reason is that reload_misfire isn't exactly a separate animation, it uses the same state as reload (7)

Greetings, thank you for help an tips my man, so I will not be able to play gamma warfare... 😦

Well I tried to ask so I could customize the game but... u know the saying... it is what it is. So only thing I can do is play story gamma and warfare anomaly...

uuuuuuu special task force A-545.... sexy, I would gladly gave that 😉

but if i could choose... AEK-973 - 7.62x39mm pure destruction

or perhaps 5.45x45mm... nah 7.62x39mm like Michkail said is all u need 😉

cannot lie, I like Ak-101 excellent combo, reliable weapon with nice caliber

well Ill leave u guys to your... things 😉

Have a nice day

[cunning wigeon]

hey lads so i want your honest opinion about this so is it a little bit realistic for a pmm to be at 1.08 cam_dispersion and dispersion frac while 0.0 at dispersion_inc but shoots at 888 rpm at full auto

How to create a patch for a mod? I have a .script file with function a(), how to create a patch that will be compatible with another mods that uses that script but mine overriden function a() is untouched?
there's a file tasks_guide.script and I need to create a patch for it, how to name my patch file and do I need to declare something?
Anomaly mod book didn't give me an answer

[sudden inlet]

Apparently you have to use monkey patching method - https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/tutorials/scripting/monkey-patching.html?highlight=monkey#monkey-patching
This technique allows you to inject your code before/after executing of base code

[cunning wigeon]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stechkin_automatic_pistol it doesnt say 600 - 650, it says 750

[summer stream]

you CAN push it to 950 rpm btw

we had a prototype of PM that was made INTO an SMG

it looks cursed as fuck
BUT

it worked

[cunning wigeon]

did they try to make a makarov into a glock fused with the scorpion?

[summer stream]

nah the dude behind this thing just showed that you can make a compact smg without doing some insane edits to the gun

like everything he did just modify the barrel

[cunning wigeon]

but did he really need to replace the slide? for that?

[summer stream]

so basically with some engineering and witchcraft you can push it up to 950 rpm

[summer stream]

yes

[cunning wigeon]

uh ok

[summer stream]

basically it had a different type of loading mechanism, just so it could do that

[jade oxide]

damn this thing looks cursed

[cunning wigeon]

anyways i also made the pkp shoot 7.92x57mm mauser at 2400 rpm and named it the pkp42

[summer stream]

prototype anyways

so it will look cursed

[cunning wigeon]

so yeah

wanna see it in action?

[summer stream]

go on

[cunning wigeon]

uh okay ill be back

[regal bolt]

how to name my file?
the base file that I try to patch is tasks_guide, my patch file name show_guide_task_giver.script
idk why but it's not overriding

[sudden inlet]

All that matters is that your patch should be loaded after base script file and all files are being loaded in an alphabetical order
Usually there is a convention to use zprefix or some kind of postfix to base script file name to make sure patch will be loaded in the correct order

And your overwritten function looks sus

[cunning wigeon]

okay it will be done soon

[cunning wigeon]

here you go

[summer stream]

the recoil is kinda low on that pkp

[regal bolt]

oh, I see, thanks, so I should name my patch like z_tasks_guide?

[summer stream]

can't you make it any higher?

[cunning wigeon]

lol

i mean whats the point even, it has already hit the recoil limit already

[summer stream]

are you sure about that

[cunning wigeon]

yes bro

i mean have you seen the recoil of 1 shot

[summer stream]

still kinda low

[cunning wigeon]

uhhh u sure? this is for 2400 rpm

how higher do you even want it???

[summer stream]

https://tenor.com/view/x4ndrr-jake-gyllenhaal-gif-34612794103494451

[cunning wigeon]

well?

[summer stream]

if it doesnt do a full 360 then i am not interested

[cunning wigeon]

i sadly cant do that in the base engine lol

[regal bolt]

I still don't know why my patch is not overriding tasks_guide's function
have copied other mod's solution that works right but in my case it doesn't
also my patch is lower than other mods

[summer stream]

"this recoil aint that ba-"
the recoil :

[random fulcrum]

(also yes that is indeed possible in the base engine, the recoil mod needs modded exes to get around extreme tedious procedures like making all guns' engine recoil 0)

[cunning wigeon]

ohhh okay nice to know

i did mean the weapon ltx files to my knowledge

so sorry then

[cunning wigeon]

oh wait so its a whole different recoil system than anomaly?

[random fulcrum]

yeah that's the entire point of that mod

currently (ish) in the process of being remastered

[cunning wigeon]

well then it’s not compatible with my mod sadly but thanks for showcasing your mod

[cunning wigeon]

Btw how does your weapon recoil system even work? Like how do you make it work with every gun?

I may want to create a rebalance mod with your mod in mind

[random fulcrum]

it's a heavily modified version of anomaly's enhanced recoil feature, in a nutshell the mod removes the engine's recoil (cam_dispersion_ values) and relies solely on the modified enhanced recoil, as to make it look prettier and more modern

[cunning wigeon]

0_0

uhhh okay and how do I adjust the enhancer recoil feature for every gun?

[novel ruin]

check the mod GAMMA Enhanced Recoil mod

there will be a config file and a tutorial inside it at the top

[cunning wigeon]

Uhhh okay?

[regal bolt]

@misty mulch I looked at the list you sent me, and the SCAR-H "Specialist Operator" is in that list

How can I remove it from NPC and trader inventories?

[random fulcrum]

it's true tho, grok attached my tutorial on how to do enhanced recoil profiles (for vanilla anomaly) in that mod, but it's also in this channel's pins

it's an ancient pin so you'll need to scroll down a lot

[regal bolt]

One mod that I found that works pretty good for recoil is the New Scripted Recoil mod by VodoXleb

and I use that with GBOOBS Enhanced Recoil GOLD Edition

they work pretty well together

[random fulcrum]

i find that they clash in design

i designed recoil gold to be arcade as all hell

and the other one is aiming for realismo

[regal bolt]

If you configure them right, they work pretty well

[shy karma]

Speaking of, could anyone help me navigate thru this pack to pick the right files to do this exact job myself? I also want to tweak outfit's upgrade trees (fully knowing it will require a new game to work)

[misty mulch]

Wdym "in the list"? You saw the column all the way on the right, "Obtainable in GAMMA"?

[misty mulch]

Oh boy you're in for a ride

[shy karma]

lemme ask first - how modifyable are upgrade paths? 👀
if not much, its not worth it at all

[misty mulch]

I'm on my phone but in short: each suit has a set of upgrades, which correspond to "universal" blocks of stat upgrades. So you have to map out which individual suit upgrades, map onto which universal stat upgrades, and balance from there

You can either modify how the individual updates map onto the universal stats, or modify the stat increase directly

Also the naming is a bit weird but I had a reference pic somewhere in here

[shy karma]

can I add more upgrade trees to an outfit?

[misty mulch]

You could have more options, can't have two separate trees

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/967696698065436682/1359338270596792380/upgrade-rowcol.jpg?ex=6855612a&is=68540faa&hm=4adc54f134da5ef54035c8da9dc64f4cb846afb5baf00bda7882a98866743ec6& found it

[shy karma]

can I then apply some exosuit path (which have many branches) onto some medium armor that had like 2-3 branches prior and change those exact upgrades to fit my vision?

[misty mulch]

Only maybe. Depends on the specific version. Because depending on how you remap it, the stat changes are shared by other upgrade trees

You'll see once you start digging in

The upgrade trees are in the o_whatever.ltx configs

You'll have to unpack the base game to read them

[shy karma]

so, im back. Lemme lay my entire plan for what I had in mind:
questions to answer:

• can upgrades modify BRC?
• can I make some new upgrades be tier 3 only?

---

anyways, seeing that the upcoming rebalance isnt going to change really anything at all, just shuffle numbers around and I'd still pick all the same suits I've been using on every single playthough, I kept thinking on alternative balance - and it heavily relies on upgrades as well. Basically, BR & BRC are the most important stats and trying to "balance" the 5-10% lack of BR by some random elemental resistances won't work at all never ever. Players will keep picking the same meta outfits. So, to bring some proper variety and possibility of role playing:

• make BR and maybe BRC ultimate stats, defining an armor tier
• equalize all armors in the given tier to the same ultimate BR***
• implement factions modifiers and etc. for the rest of the stats

(***): this part is not as simple as I made it sound like, what I actually mean is a potential maximum BR, but not nacessarily the starting value. For example, in medium armors military berill will keep the highest BR out of the box, however none of its upgrades will increase it any futher. Meanwhile, other medium armors could have lower and much lower BR by default, but with copious amounts of upgrades they can be made reach the same BR as that military berill. For that, I want to implement more than 2 BR upgrades for these armors, so that you'll have to invest plenty of upgrade kits to reach the same BR potential as berill, meanwhile berill itself will only feature durability upgrades or other somewhat meaningless buffs, since its already at the peak.

Of course this would have exceptions such as SPP hazmat suits, in fact I'd consider stripping them of any BR entirely to make my point clearer, lol. Instead it can have some decent rupture resistance upgrades, since mutants are the primary danger to scientists.

This way armor shall be more customizable with upgrade kits towards the 'meta BR stat', meanwhile the faction's uniqueness can be highlighted with both elemental res and available upgrade trees. And it can be made reasonably "expensive" to invest if we would be able to make "half-empty" upgrade trees with just tier 3 upgrade that requires the best kit, so for example a clear sky medium armor would have 4-5 upgrade nodes with +5% BR to reach berill - it would be very expensive, but you can still keep your outfit of choice.

anyway, thats the general idea 👀
note that my thinking here might be way out of the scope of modding possibilities due to professional deformation (senior game designer lol)

[random fulcrum]

you should be able to modify hit_fraction_actor with upgrades just via ltx (question mark)

but if not, you can easily do that script side

in the context of gamma, that is

[nocturne night]

is there a way to invert the damage bar from the BHS mod? Like instead of going down from the head to the feet could it go from the feet to the head. Like in Max payne

[oak flint]

Hey everyone, I have a question. I wanted to slightly change the ballistic resistance stats on the suits for myself. I found two files: mod_system_items_armors_br_class_rework and mod_system_zzzzzz_gamma_armor_protections, but changes in these files have no effect on the ballistic res. Does anyone know which specific file I need to edit?

[rough lion]

Ballistic protection/AP is set by
bones_koeff_protection

[oak flint]

Hi I found this parameter in the mod_system_zzzzzz_gamma_armor_protections.ltx file, but all the bones_koeff_protection parameters have values like "actor_armor_exo", which I suspect is a reference to another file. And I couldn't find the file with the numerical values for actor_armor_exo(

[solar creek]

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

[undone spruce]

cmon its ]not that big

[solar creek]

goated

[summer stream]

clearly not big enough

[misty mulch]

"BR Class" is AP Resistance which is based on the hit_fraction parameter
"Ballistic Res" is set by the bones_koeff_protection factors that you've identified
Those profiles are in damages.ltx

I strongly suggest you learn to use DLTX (my guide is in the pins here) to make edits to these configs rather than directly editing files

[oak flint]

Awesome, thanks! I'll look through your guide. My confusion comes from the damages.ltx file, where the sections have names like body_damage_008. So I'm hoping there's some kind of lookup table, dictionary, or something that explains what each of these sections actually does.

[crisp burrow]

Show me a-762 on the moddb🙂

[misty mulch]

important question: have you unpacked the basegame configs?

you cannot see how outfits map onto different bones_koeff_protection sections without doing that since gamma does not contain copies of the outfit configs

[slow bolt]

This is the one i found: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/aekkit
IIRC there is another one

[crisp burrow]

and where is a-762?🥹

https://tenor.com/view/pizdun-seriozno-pizdabol-pff-talk-gif-17588867

[oak flint]

No, I haven't unpacked it yet. I'm a newbie, you could say, and my plan was to first edit the files to my liking and then share the configuration in case anyone else might need it. Thanks for clarifying the important point about unpacking the guide listed that step as optional, so I could have easily missed it 🙂

[misty mulch]

once you finish unpacking, I also very strongly suggest you get a program that lets you do a "find in file" search (aka search the contents of files, not just the names). I personally just use Notepad++

[oak flint]

Yeah, thanks, I think I'll do that 🙂

[crisp burrow]

Google doesn't know about such cases.
ИИРС

[misty mulch]

Example of how ballistic res and BR class actually works in GAMMA based on outfit configs
Keywords so I can find this wall of text in the future: armor, ap, BRC, outfits, bullets, player damage

Let's look at o_berill.ltx, specifically [specops_outfit] which is the "Berill-5M Armored Suit"
You will see these two lines in it:

hit_fraction_actor     = 0.4                  ; this determines BR class
bones_koeff_protection = actor_armor_berill   ; this determines ballistic resistance

This means hit_fraction_actor aka "AP resistance" for the player is 0.4; the specific formula to convert hit_fraction_actor to BR class is (1 - hit_fraction_actor) * 0.75 (for outfits). If you do this formula you find that BR Class should be 0.45 aka 45 (most stats get multiplied by 100 to make them readable)

Meanwhile bones_koeff_protection = actor_armor_berill means "go look at the [actor_armor_berill] section of damages.ltx". So let us go and do that.

[actor_armor_berill]:body_damage_025, head_damage_00
ap_scale                        = 0.8

That means that [actor_armor_berill] uses the body_damage_025 and head_damage_00 sections in damages.ltx to figure out what the ballistic resistance should be. Let us look at body_damage_025:

[body_damage_025] ; CLASS IIIA  NPC
bip01_pelvis                 = 1, 0.25
bip01_spine                  = 1, 0.25
bip01_spine1                  = 1, 0.25
bip01_spine2                  = 1, 0.25

Grok's Actor Damage Balancer aka "the mod that alters how players take damage in GAMMA" makes it so that thankfully the armor uses one single value for all shots to all body parts, which is bip01_spine. The second value is the ballistic res, 0.25 = 25%

KEY FILES:

• The outfit config of whatever you're looking at, o_whatever.ltx
• The damages.ltx config which contains all armor profiles (for NPC and player)
• grok_actor_damage_balancer.script - contains all formulae for incoming damage (aka "damage taken by the player"), as well as the BR Class display formula

and if anyone asks again i'm just linking that

[oak flint]

Holy shit, thank you so much for such a detailed guide, it's going to help me a lot.)

Very good plan)

[lost berry]

could someone do me a favor and change a recipe for me? its an ammo recipe, and i just want it to not require a recipe book, and cost the same as .338 ammo (this file from juan's sharps rifle mod)

if you say no, i will cry (i tried to do it myself, but the game just crashed, so i need a smart modder person to show me how to do things properly)

[misty mulch]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UTViiNg656Ey_0p7tL3DkJam9oe86RAL/view

check the ammo example obviously

[lost berry]

ok this helps, but im unsure of the actual item names, like which bullet is large rifle AP (that and the casings are the only things i had wrong)

i think i had something wrong

guess i can just run it in debug and check the names in f7 menu

nevermind

[bronze apex]

that's section name

[lost berry]

no, i just checked craft.ltx

like the example said to

i think this is what i need

or not

[misty mulch]

bullet part IDs (aka "section name") are in items_ammo_parts.ltx; bullet part names are in st_ammo_parts.xml

[lost berry]

oh ok

[misty mulch]

i did say check the ammo example look in the ammo folder

[lost berry]

im gonna go there now

[misty mulch]

gamma uses the ammo maker mod's crafting system

[lost berry]

yeah, i know, thats probably why juans recipe is so foreign in gamma

and why you cant really use it, since it takes old ammo and ammo parts

[misty mulch]

you don't even have to overwrite anything, just make a recipe using the Ammo Maker system, look at the ammo folder in my example

[lost berry]

so you mean that segment at the bottom that says [ammo_section_name]?

in ammo example?

or am i just stupid?

[misty mulch]

This assumes you've set up a mod folder inside your GAMMA folder/mods

1. In the same folder structure as the example, make your own ammo_whatever.ltx file
2. Inside this file, create a unique ammo section, for example [ammo_my_338_recipe] or whatever else
3. Underneath that section, add your recipe.

[lost berry]

using the parts from items_ammo_parts.ltx

to fill in the blanks

[misty mulch]

yes

[lost berry]

ok, i get it now

i think

[misty mulch]

if by "blanks" you mean "the input items"

[lost berry]

yes

those "blanks"

will be back if something is bricked

[misty mulch]

if it doesn't work, zip up your mod and upload it

folder structure and filename are important

[lost berry]

ok, i will

ok, i think i did it, i will update in like 3 minutes when i check lol

I DID IT!

might have to tweak how cheap the ammo is, but i did it

[misty mulch]

ammo cost will require learning to use DLTX so you can't do it just with this ammo crafting file

buuuut it'll be a two-line file

[lost berry]

can you do it? ive exhausted my brain capacity for the day

i spent my day doing all my work last minute after a month of procrastination, and came home to play gamma and chill, then get hit with the stick of modding learning

(not me making excuses to get someone to do it for me [true excuse tho])

well i guess i can do that tomorrow

[misty mulch]

i refuse to do your homework for you, i literally have written the guide on how to do it already, it's in the pins

come back and do it tomorrow for sure

but go learn something

[lost berry]

oh shit you did

cool, gonna do that later tomorrow i guess

Hey Veer. Question.

[remote hamlet]

Do NPCs have an inventory that you can reference?

[vocal furnace]

Hey guys, what is this technique that used in camera view, if may I ask; where on sides things appear stretched and bigger and in middle it's wider. or is it a bug?
Because if it's not a bug then this is very interesting way of handling camera view projection for players.

[random fulcrum]

it's an xray thing, the camera is where the player actually is

you can see how broken it gets when above 85 fov walking through narrow spaces

the higher you go the more broken it is

[vocal furnace]

But even if the camera was where the player actually is, it's not necessary to get that effect I think.

[random fulcrum]

it isn't

i'm not arguing about that

anyways are you making a mod to fix it

[vocal furnace]

i'm just asking actually if it's likeable by people or if it's by design

[remote hamlet]

I think its intended

[random fulcrum]

ye it's the mods making discussion channel

[vocal furnace]

because I can see how much it effect the game feel etc

[random fulcrum]

not the opinions about a broken ass implementation of a basic feature channel

[remote hamlet]

When you look around it pushes your camera around it

More noticeable against corners

and when people walk into you

[vocal furnace]

Thank you for clarifying!

The real answer is "find the section name of the item in the configs to confirm". What would you mean by "in the code"?

[regal bolt]

Well I needed that for an update without realizing it was already done. Sorry for the wasted time.

But if you're still interested in answering I was asking if the name of a specific artifact used in scripts and configs in the game files is the one visible in the debug menu on the list and in item descriptions

[misty mulch]

Yeah, all of it uses the section name as the "item ID"

Well... when they ask for help with something complicated, then everyone immediately ignores and keeps silent. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP.

I already wrote the mod myself. It's easier to do everything yourself.

You didn't really specify what you wanted to add

[sudden inlet]

Так-то все тут бесплатно пишут моды ) Поэтому хотят помогают, хотят не помогают, чего жаловаться)

[bronze apex]

i was messing around with scripts and i wrote

function on_game_start()
    RegisterScriptCallback("actor_on_item_take",check_casing)
    printf("Registered successfully!")
end

function check_casing(obj)
    printf("checking")
    section = obj:section()
    if string.find(section, "casing") then
        db.actor:iterate_inventory(compact_casings, obj)
    end
end
function compact_casings(obj)
    if not (db.actor and section and obj) then
        return
    end
    if obj:section() == "casing_p" then
        printf("pistol casing")
    elseif obj:section() == "casing_s" then
        printf("shotgun casing")
    end
end

when i pass obj to db.actor:iterate_inventory()

it just iterates over that object for as many items as i have in my inventory

but when i don't it crashes because obj is nil

how can i get the object of the item being iterated over inside of compact_casings?

[remote hamlet]

try compact_casings(temp, obj)

the first param is something else

temp may be the npc/player of the inventory

[bronze apex]

whaaaaattt?

I'm so confused

[remote hamlet]

theres 2 params

[bronze apex]

it works flawlessly

[remote hamlet]

wait what

without it?

[bronze apex]

no i added temp

[remote hamlet]

oh

without temp the obj param is the player

[bronze apex]

now it just prints the comment as many times as there is an item in your inventory

[bronze apex]

thanks!

[remote hamlet]

param names don't matter for functions

its the order they are made/passed in

[bronze apex]

that much i figured lmao

just that there's no documentation

I'm just looking at other scripts

[remote hamlet]

yeah

[bronze apex]

and lua_help

[remote hamlet]

there is the unpacked version of anomaly

[bronze apex]

i have them

[remote hamlet]

which has the definitions of all the functions

but no documentation still

[bronze apex]

yeah

[remote hamlet]

so its abit of guess work and reverse engineering

[bronze apex]

just says iterate(function, obj)

thanks again!

[remote hamlet]

How do you reposition attachments on a gun? Trying to make some personal G43 tweaks

[faint sable]

It’s within its scope hud section, the y and x value represents the icon setup for the gun itself

The y value going positive means it will go downwards, the y value going negative means it goes up

The x value going positive means it goes forward and the x value going negative means it goes backwards

I believe, tbh I use SEI to setup icons

It’s very useful

[regal bolt]

Hey. Is acanning field quest bugged or what?

I can't seem to find the correct place to put the scanner

Despite walking around the field for around a minute in circles

[regal bolt]

Anyone knows what is the trigger for it?

[candid quail]

So… transfer_item(item, npc) is a bit frustrating. If you check for the item in the target inventory immediately after calling it, the item doesn’t seem to be there yet. It’s as if the item isn’t transferred instantly and only appears in the inventory sometime later.
Is there a delay before the item ACTUALY lands in the inventory or it queued somehow then later released to the inventory?

[sonic bolt]

I've been using it too, been able to make icon edits I otherwise never would have done

[undone spruce]

whats that?

[faint sable]

it's this

[summer stream]

stalker icon editor

[faint sable]

it's used to determine exact coords for icons and such

[undone spruce]

i see, thought it to be just an atlas mapper

[fair canopy]

@faint sable what anims did you use for your m4 pack?

[celest forge]

It's an absolute time saver

[undone spruce]

im once again trying to bend the upgrade system

before i end up losing my time, is there a good reason mods like the 10mm packs, and most on gamma went for upgrade kits instead of upgrade system for changing the weapons models and stats?

[fair canopy]

Because bas and it's easy

[faint sable]

the m4 tac reanimation pack

[sonic bolt]

is the actor_effects.ltx what I should edit if I want to get rid of the blurred vision when firing certain guns? I'm editing the G43 to not have it but no matter what I do there's a blur

[sonic bolt]

also, what setting affects the recoil of a gun?

[novel ruin]

Check the GAMMA Enhanced Recoil mod config

[sonic bolt]

its not tied to the gun itself?

[novel ruin]

It does, check just the config folder

[summer stream]

man we love gamma with its recoil

[sonic bolt]

I was hoping I could balance the G43 similarly to Frosty's SVT

It's got some extreme kick compared to it

[sonic bolt]

oh damn, it worked quite well! Thanks!

[undone spruce]

yeah, i can't seem to find any example of a upgrade changing the hud and visual of a gun, i think going the kit way is the only way possible

[random fulcrum]

actor_effects is for the enhanced recoil option in the main menu settings

not for the enhanced recoil you're forced to use in gamma

[undone spruce]

The only kind of upgrade properties that is able to actually change values of a guns and not just add is the prop_calibre and prop_nobuck

The functions that rules it is in item_utils.script or smth like that

Thinking of doing smth stupid but may work

[lament current]

trying to mix the original stalker movie, misery style.
into the anomaly loading screen.. is it cringe?

[random fulcrum]

nah that's unironically hard as fuck

i love it

[summer stream]

[lament current]

thanks man. ive added worked a little bit more on it.
trying not to go to overboard. i have tendency of doing that.. and getting carried away haha

[lament current]

i think maybe less is more, in this situation.. cant decide.. i kinda like the yellowy smoke factory chimney stuff. but it also takes alot of attention

[drifting moat]

Either way it looks cool 👌

[lament current]

i wish i knew how to code a rotation of loading screens. so that i could do. center loading pictures. and loading around would variate.. but i think i will put the time in and do some artwork.
instead of locational pictures.

btw, do you guys know, if a audiobook of "Roadside Picnic" the book stalker is based on.
has copyrights. other than the youtube channel itself.
it would be very cool to create a playlist with the audiobook chopped up in small pieces as tracks.
so you can listen to the story. but still pause it. when you are fighting etc.
and then get back to the story.
and immerse yourself again.

this one is pretty good, since it has some background music.
and he actually tries to do different voices for various characters.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dsbcsKe9Cc

man it would be cool to have people from the discord make a audiobook for the game.
have different people do the voices... made for players. to the players. enjoyed by all

[summer stream]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-funny-cat-scared-scaredcat-scared-cat-gif-7805744473386885099

Tf did i do wrong.

Can someone look into this piece of a junk ltx file? Since idfk what happened to it.

[summer stream]

Note : That's all in debug mode.

[fair inlet]

missing parent_section perhaps

[summer stream]

Saw it.

[sonic bolt]

Five, Hundred, M4s

[summer stream]

Na, i got paid for it.

[fair canopy]

gl?

[slow bolt]

Possible with LUA. But not advised

Well this is better, but there are so many possible problems nobody made it

[slow bolt]

Idk about the minimap stuff

[sonic bolt]

Does anyone know the font used for the names on attachment icons?

[lilac idol]

micropixel

well at least that's what cr3pis uses for his icons, so ig that it's prolly the same

[fair canopy]

Just copy and paste the letters off the bas icon sheet in 3dss

That's how I unified all the icons

[undone spruce]

managed to make all upgrades modification that i wanted
now for the kits

ill end up making icons for the stendo guns with mags behind them

except the mini colt, i liked the rotated one

still thinking of more revolver diy silencers

[sonic bolt]

Thanks, I managed to edit them but there's this weird white border that isn't as clean as your text. Do you happen to know what causes it? I'm using Gimp

[fair canopy]

You've gotta set up an alpha channel so the game reads the transparency correctly

I'm not sure how it works in gimp but in ps I set an alpha layer then a channel mask and a second layer that's all black

@celest forge miggt be able to help you with gimp

[quartz hill]

i think you can right click the layer you are editing and click "add alpha channel"
or use the top toolbar and go layer > transparency > add alpha channel

[sonic bolt]

I think there's already an alpha channel since the background is transparant, I dunno if I should feather it cuz its small enough as is

[quartz hill]

man idk

[sonic bolt]

Thanks for the input though

[quartz hill]

the only thing i can think of is there are pixels that are not completely transparent around the text but it doesn't seem like that from your second image

[summer stream]

you can just add shadow around it

i always do that to my icons

but it's only like 1-2 pixels of it and transparent

[undone spruce]

it shouldnt be feathered, just like that is enough

[sonic bolt]

No matter what happens I still get the weird white outline in-game

[undone spruce]

try adding a black layer on photoshop and check if it appears

it also may be some kind of compression artifact

[sonic bolt]

maybe it's a gimp issue after all

[undone spruce]

if youre not sure you can try select pixels on the layer preview image and it should select all pixels in it

oh, gimp, shouldnt be a issue as well

but i do believe it has some kind of feather or smooth effect even when using delete

as well you could try the following:
delete the black pixels, select the white pixels, and enlarge the selection by 1 pixel
then paint it black

do you have the file, im with photoshop open rn

[sonic bolt]

Sorgy, was helping out newbies

[undone spruce]

do you have them with the letters?

[undone spruce]

yeah, it doesnt appear here

[sonic bolt]

I'm giving your delete and grow method a try

[summer stream]

i made it

check it out

[undone spruce]

here, delected selection just in case and saved as uncompressed dds

[summer stream]

i basically add like a slight shadow beneath it

that's all

[sonic bolt]

Imagine this all could be solved if I paid a gorillion dollars to Adobe for PS

[summer stream]

alpha channel :

[summer stream]

sir

i have a solution

[sonic bolt]

Yarrrr

[summer stream]

stuff with 100% discount

[undone spruce]

for shadow, i only tried PS, i select the pixels from the icon layer, fill with black in another layer, and apply a 0,5 pixel gaussian blur, but for letters i just apply the black pixels

[summer stream]

and i dont even care

i just apply shadow
boom

[undone spruce]

gimp is powerful, but it has some bs that you have to disable

[summer stream]

it's not that visible to human eye so

[undone spruce]

ps is full of bs, but its pretty straight forward

[summer stream]

can't be any true

but it has a lot of benefits

like if you want to do bump you can just record what you're doing and boom

i literally have this stuff here

[sonic bolt]

if this doesn't work im gonna

[summer stream]

you can try my dds

[sonic bolt]

i'll try both

[summer stream]

it worked for me most of the times

[sonic bolt]

Ronn's...

[summer stream]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-funny-cat-scared-scaredcat-scared-cat-gif-7805744473386885099

[undone spruce]

Damn, why

[sonic bolt]

I'll give both another try

If neither works I'm gonna honkshoomimimi

[sonic bolt]

I kneel 🧎‍♂️

[summer stream]

https://tenor.com/view/power-motivated-vergil-devil-may-cry-gif-14962711

enjoy

[sonic bolt]

Now i gotta beg to have the scope done too or figure it out myself

[summer stream]

give it to me

oh and also i dont really use uncompressed stuff

i save it as 8.8.8.8 BGRA
(as nvidia texture exporter says )

[sonic bolt]

inb4 this is why its going to hell

[summer stream]

dont worry it works on every directx

[undone spruce]

Im pretty sure thats uncomp

[summer stream]

[sonic bolt]

I hope I'm happy with this cuz this is prob the only chance I'll get to have someone do the icon for me

[summer stream]

here ya go

[summer stream]

someone asked me to re-do textures for the entire fwp

so im either going insane or going to explode

[sonic bolt]

So those are yours? They do look sexy af

[summer stream]

hell na rn i didnt do anything

mine will work on DX11 only

plus they will be pulled straight from tarkov

instead of gmod

[undone spruce]

I suck at rendering

But now it's mostly magazines so who cares

[sonic bolt]

I hope this modding bug gets off me soon enough

[summer stream]

i literally have setup for everything

so i either have huge plus or huge skill issue

of how many stuff i need to do

[sonic bolt]

[undone spruce]

At a later date ill try rendering through marmoset

[summer stream]

https://tenor.com/view/x4ndrr-jake-gyllenhaal-gif-34612794103494451

[sonic bolt]

Maybe after I honkshoo I'll try to figure out how to do the text edits myself

Gotta learn how to fish rather than be given a fish

[summer stream]

also true

learn it all yourself

i was given instructions and i did them

[undone spruce]

Yeah and always rember

It could be useful for other games too

[summer stream]

i remember how burn taught me how to make bump using cod's normal
now i do that to every normal i have

literally the reason i even can port stuff from cyberpunk or skyrim

same to cod

[undone spruce]

i only had to work through my models and substance painter

they still look somewhat fugly but i blame the game render

[summer stream]

i use paint.net, photoshop, blender and substance painter

like 99% of the time

paint net is the only thing that can save my stuff in proper compression

while photoshop destroys my cpu

it cant do highest compression on BC7 with use of my GPU

alright imma dip i need to make stuff with cyberpunk rig

[fair canopy]

Already like you

[summer stream]

oh yeah did you do anything about the stuff i showed you

[undone spruce]

now i feel like an ass too

[summer stream]

[fair canopy]

I've got a new project I'm working on so I will ve

[summer stream]

good

[undone spruce]

realized some of mine has those too

with no real reason why

[summer stream]

skill issue simply

[undone spruce]

i however saved that in BGRA and not RGBA (thats not the issue)

but i do believe the game just doesnt like clearcut alpha like that

[summer stream]

it doesnt

make it more smooth

[undone spruce]

yeah, its exactly that

later

[summer stream]

man i love that taco language

[undone spruce]

i think this is enough to differentiate stendo version from the normal ones

[summer stream]

why they r so small

lmao

[undone spruce]

its 1x1 tile

without the silencer

im thinking of redoing it for those

[summer stream]

fire doe

[celest forge]

Is the pack .38 SPC and .22LR?

[undone spruce]

this is the colt police positive in 38 special

but there is another 22lr revolver

[celest forge]

So a single .38spc and the rest are .22?

[undone spruce]

3 variants from the colt 38 and 1 22 revolver
but there is other 3 22 pistols

[undone spruce]

1st and 3rd are the 38, 6inch in the 1st and 2in in the 3rd, and the 2nd pic is the 22lr 9shot

[summer stream]

that one poor bottle

and cpu is
clearly feeling good

[undone spruce]

Its a 10yr old gpu with modded drivers and a busted fan controller

[slow bolt]

That is uncompressed

[summer stream]

amazing

[summer stream]

Похуй

[undone spruce]

so

the only things missing, is conversion kits, traders and loadouts
and rework some textures

[opaque nimbus]

Доброго времени суток. Хотел бы взять определенную модельку из модель пака HD models for GAMMA v 3.2 и поменять ее в KVMA модель паке. Где можно найти инфу по этому или с кем можно переговорить? Заранее благодарю

[rare scarab]

store food

[sudden inlet]

Any tip where should I start in order to make this happen? Know nothing about animations

[steady kraken]

ive came in to ask if any one knows somthing about this ive changed the pm iron sights to have no glow in the dark sights but i just found one with the glowing iron sights i changed the stalker loadouts to have it so they dont i just wann know if some of the stalkers will have pm without glow in the dark iron sights

[sonic bolt]

Did you want me to remove the glow sights entirely?

I can do that too I guess

[steady kraken]

ive been looking and i foujnd a pm but it had glow sights its a new save too but we n i went into de bug mode some of the pms had glow sights some didnt

will some of the pms still have glow sights

[sonic bolt]

Both variants will appear in the debug menu, I only made the loadout edits so it adds PMs without glow sights, but doesn't replace them

[steady kraken]

so the pms with glow sights can still be found

so both the pms will be droped by stalkers the glow sights and the non glow sights

im ok wiht starting a new save its only like 10 mins in

[sonic bolt]

File structure was wrong, here's the fixed one. If it mucks up you know how to install it

[steady kraken]

ok

@sonic bolt ok i did it but what about the old one

[sonic bolt]

You can disable it, it's gonna get overridden anyways cuz it has the same name

[steady kraken]

ok so should i start a new save

[wintry rampart]

QUESTION -- How can I LIMIT the TYPE of items that the player can store in a particular stash ? For example, a fridge where you can ONLY store food/consumables, or a weapons locker where you can ONLY store Sniper Rifles and nothing else.

Any tips/help would be appreciated 🙂

[steady kraken]

why dont you just do it yourself like only put food in the fridge yuou know its single player so why dont you just make sure you only put your own stuff in the areas you want it to be

[wintry rampart]

That's ..... I mean..... I just..... Cuz the....

Yeah.. You're absolutely right.

BUT, I am making a mod and wanted to put those restrictions on an anomalous storage container... That's why 😇

[steady kraken]

Oh your making the mod I thought yiu ment for personal use

Yeah no that’s a mod I would definitely use

[steady kraken]

Yeha no I get that now I would lvoe thst mod if you make it

[sonic bolt]

Maybe try checking the hideout furniture, the ammo box has ammo only restrictions, maybe you can reverse engineer it for the fridge

It says specialized storage here, maybe you can apply it to the fridge

[misty mulch]

more accurately you probably need to find whatever script actually uses this specialized_storage function to limit what's in the box

since it comes from a mod, you can't automatically assume it'll work in vanilla anomaly

[sonic bolt]

If I can figure out what items count towards the specialized storage it'd be a lot easier

Tried adding "food" but it didn't work, so it's not as simple

[misty mulch]

yeah you'd be better served finding the script that uses it in that case

could run a find-in-file for specialized_storage in *.script files across the hideout furnitures expanded mod

lol well that was easy to find

so yeah go read that

looks like either you can use already defined types OR define your own table

[sonic bolt]

Managed to get it to restrict items to food, but not drinks

[wintry rampart]

Please don't kill the noob for this question guys --- Who do I reach out to if I want to get a message on my mod post pinnned ?

[quartz hill]

any of the currently-online helpers i believe

[wintry rampart]

Hello Mr. @misty mulch Could you please pin a msg for me on my mod post ? 😇

[iron cypress]

is the gamedata and db folders from default gamma avaliable for download somewhere? i can't run modorganizer2

[novel ruin]

Read the “read before posting” thread

[wintry rampart]

Did that; msgd one helper as well 😇

Thanks

Not the Tarkov icon bullets 🥀

[summer stream]

https://tenor.com/view/its-over-chainsaw-man-asa-yoru-asa-mitaka-gif-27390499

[undone spruce]

im using artigrok, but theres also box icons made

theres smth wrong with this pictur

[summer stream]

ifrst of all
the icons looks strange

[undone spruce]

ok, as of now it works with base anomaly

[summer stream]

Hell

[undone spruce]

but does it work?

[summer stream]

yes

yes it works

[undone spruce]

Damn, pretty good

[summer stream]

also roughness for that thing is
fire

squares

alright ima port the textures rq and look at it in-game

(i had fun with weights on hands so rn i port everything i can )

[remote hamlet]

How do you make/unmake an npc a companion?

[lost berry]

how would i go about adding the survival kit back into traders/loot pool

[quartz hill]

by reverting this probably
https://github.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA/commit/b1c711b35ff8eeaf1417e5ae2331e4d0a3aa4059

[lost berry]

oh that sounds like effort

well it was removed for a reason

[sudden inlet]

Every mod is an effort Gimme AI for stalker configs (JetBrains Junie probably can do that)

[lost berry]

im just the .ltx edit guy

i only take pre-existing stuff and edit it

thats what i do

[quartz hill]

that is exactly what you need to do
