[bronze apex]

found a solution

you can't give multiple items as for a single craft

[slow bolt]

tf is ffi

[quasi narwhal]

an interface to require/use libraries from other languages

i.e. calling C from Lua without having to write bindings

[formal plover]

Leekos, you once posted a tutorial on how to install Redone. I wanted to know if it's necessary to install the 6GB Mutants mod.

[hot salmon]

cool thing
you can create a memory leak with it

[summer stream]

А ты сделай

How do I add an item to a companion's inventory so it's visible in the inventory UI?
I'm trying to give a companion an item (e.g. a bandage) using: alife_create_item("bandage", npc)
The item does go into their inventory, but it ends up being hidden alongside their weapon and PDA.
It doesn’t show up in the inventory UI window when I open their inventory.
I also tried "alife_create" but it behaves the same way — the item is added, but still hidden.
How can I force an item to be added to a companion’s visible inventory?

[peak quest]

No clue

I still can’t get rid of the speed reduction when leaning. Even with gotta go fast extended

[misty mulch]

that's always the case, the first number is the toolkit type used, not how many of the item you get.

now you could maybe make a new item called idk "bulk case of <ammo>" that, when used, spawns X amount of that ammo in your inv, and make a crafting recipe for that

[bronze apex]

i did just that

but made it so that you have to disassemble it

using it sounds smarter actually

but i also like the idea that you need to use 2% of your grooming kit because that's what i thought of and now it works-ish

[sonic bolt]

Is it hard to add 3DSS to a scope that doesn't have it? Thinking about adding it to this mosin reanim mod

[vocal yoke]

многопоток чет не работает в нем

[faint sable]

For 3dss specifically on PU scopes you need to check how me or athi set it up like tbh

it's a bit different than from say weapons that don't use a pu scope

[sonic bolt]

Damn, got any resources I can use?

[fair canopy]

you should be able to take the existing mosin ltx

youd just need to edit the hud values

[faint sable]

athi send me your yt channel

[fair canopy]

https://www.youtube.com/@ATHI_gamma

[faint sable]

You can check my 3dss module from fwp and say use the svt40 as an example since it uses the PU

[sonic bolt]

I'm using the lens from your mosin and scaled it to fit the PU scope on this one. I'm just trying to stop crashing first. My AKM 3dss endeavor is screwing me over

[sonic bolt]

Holy wealth of knowledge lezz go

[faint sable]

some are not relevant to say the 3dss, but these can help in learning

[faint sable]

Yea, just be careful not to use a lens hider as the Muzzle bone, since it is what actually shows the shot fire effect from the muzzle piece and if used it makes it clip in the gun itself

best if all bones are being used, to use this to fix it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRw_bFaGN2c&t=99s

allows you to add a bone that can be used to lens hide

Tedious but it works

[sonic bolt]

Damn, lens hiding sounds like a whole nother deal

[faint sable]

You can also look at my 3dss module setup for the svt and just copy and such

it is just what allows the lens to hide really

be sure to follow athis 3dss guide really

it tells everything you need to know

sadly his voice is so low you can barely hear shit

[sonic bolt]

100% volume and max volume on my headphones and I can't hear him at all

[faint sable]

Yea some reason his mic just doesn't do good on the guides he done

[regal bolt]

who knows the name of this mod

[main plover]

No

[worthy mortar]

Should be part of Dynamic Hud mod

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/dynahud-hud-manager

[static island]

Does anyone know why MODDb download wouldn't work? It downloads and then says failed

[regal bolt]

Thanks bro

[worthy mortar]

Internet issues, server problems, could be anything and honestly it's not for us to know

[lost berry]

anyone able to tell me the military beril name?

i forgor the name of the outfit

[sonic bolt]

specops_outfit I think

[lost berry]

can you verify? or?

because im kinda busy rn, if you cant

[sonic bolt]

I'm booting up the game

[lost berry]

ok thanks

i was gonna say if you cant, thats fine

but thanks, lmk

[sonic bolt]

Yeah I was right

[lost berry]

ok thanks for checking alchem

i wanna add it to new game loadouts (i have an idea)

mostly because i dont play mili, and the outfits fucking suck

ah yes, 50 points for the worst shit ever aside from leather jacket

but no option for something better

[main plover]

I know which file dictates how item's highlight looks like but I have no idea which mod or script handles that

[frosty crypt]

Does anyone know if there is a mod that turns off any quest hints on the minimap?

[bronze apex]

just disable the minimap all together
it's the / key by default

[frosty crypt]

nah bro i need it, but not the arrows

[bronze apex]

i made a gigantic items_.ltx file and xml file and now the game won't launch

[bronze apex]

fixed it

[misty mulch]

why not just disable "secondary tasks" in the PDA

[pallid sonnet]

where in the game files can I modify satiety penalties from medicine?

[sacred token]

https://github.com/Tosox/STALKER-Anomaly-gamedata/blob/v1.5.2/gamedata/configs/items/items/items_drugs.ltx

eat_alcohol
eat_satiety
eat_sleepiness
eat_thirstiness

all there

Oi, you are the Campfire Stalker :)

I love your covers

[sacred token]

Although if you go with GAMMA edits only check mod_system_drugs_balance_bhs_GAMMA.ltx from the MO2 G.A.M.M.A. Medications Balance mod entry

[misty mulch]

and what Tosox means is "you'll have to either direct edit that file OR learn to make your own DLTX override", guide for that is in the pins

I had 5 hours of sleep today, because it was almost 29° in my room at night

[regal bolt]

Guys, help me, who knows the name of the mod for this tag

[sacred token]

maybe this?
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/hud-ubisoft-friendly

[random fulcrum]

catspaw's placeable waypoint, included by default in gamma but not with the settings required for the markers to appear on screen

that could also be it

[bronze apex]

is there a mod that has a wooden box icon to shamelessly steal to reuse for an ammo box

i have the tool to make the icons, just not the skills

[sacred token]

something like this?

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/ammo-crate

[bronze apex]

i'll load it in game and see thank you

works better than what i had

not what i imagined tho so I'll look around

and thanks again @sacred token

[sacred token]

Maybe the hideout furniture addons have something for you

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/hideout-furniture-expansion

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/even-more-hideout-furniture

[bronze apex]

that's actually genius

I like the idea of making these 2 green

[summer stream]

alright nerds
how do i make new outfit for npcs and main characters

[bronze apex]

this.... I don't hate it, am i crazy?

[undone spruce]

Feels kinda disruptive

[bronze apex]

yeah it's wack, not what I was aiming for and it's a slow process but it's better than anything i could make from scratch

[sonic bolt]

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong in this ltx to add 3DSS scopes to a Mosin reanimation? The PU scope is highlighted but I can't attach it

[true solstice]

Are this textures always like that? Or did I mess up with a mod or something?

Follow up question, if it's always been like that, does anyone know the location of that model? So I can fix it

[lost berry]

they arent like that usually

and i dont know the location of the model

[novel ruin]

@random fulcrum are these value still affect recoil for gamma enhanced recoil system?

[random fulcrum]

???

[fallen aspen]

Hello does anyone know how Grok categories ammo ap and damage?
BR2 [ 24] == k_ap = 0.024?
What about the damage?

I'm trying to balance some new ammo I'm creating but I'm having some problems, basically trial and error

[novel ruin]

I thought you know it because you mentioned how it works sometimes

[random fulcrum]

grok's enhanced recoil is just anomaly's enhanced recoil but isolated to its own script and also forced to be enabled

without any change at all

[main plover]

Like new new not remodel retexture? NLTP_ASHES did armor from crysis

[summer stream]

absolutely new one

[main plover]

You can get Inspo https://github.com/nltp-ashes/Nanosuit/releases/tag/v0.7.1

[summer stream]

zanke

[main plover]

And I think that eft modular armor mod managed to assign models for player hands/legs idk about npc models https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1263282252909903954

[summer stream]

looked into original configs of anomaly

the config isn't that bad

[main plover]

You want to make "missing" variants of armors perchance?

[summer stream]

No

im remaking old stuff with better weights but for female characters

[main plover]

Ah

[summer stream]

and make some unique armor for some chats too

since my brain is in need of working

and that would mean a lot

a lot of porting

swm models are fine, but NPCs will be a big deal

there is over 250 bones on face

250 man

cyberpunk is so much fun

hands and first person model is okay until you get to the npcs

[main plover]

Ah yes you were porting stuff from cyberpunk

Banger

[summer stream]

its a full port

like even weights are straight from cyberpunk

i can do the same for male hands but that will be after my other stuff

[main plover]

Port night city to darkspace lots of unused space there

[celest forge]

I made one armor mod once and it made me want to gauge my eyes from my skull

[summer stream]

i am not doing that

too much polygons for stalker

[faint sable]

Be sure not to put use_alt_aim_hud under an actual hud, they go to the guns section instead, never hud sections under them

[summer stream]

you know its funny to just port like 50 or 70 bones

down to just
18-19

without them looking like absolute garbage

[faint sable]

idk if it'd fix the actual scope not being placed on the gun though, I checked it over with my type63 ltx edits and it seems about the exact same

[summer stream]

Yea too much

[faint sable]

try fact checking on my type63 ltx

[summer stream]

i told you

[faint sable]

Also don't worry about the licon_layer, it's just using the new athi icons instead

[summer stream]

but just to be clear:
this is what usually happens to most of stalker hands

resulting in this or even worse

[main plover]

Am I tripping or you were posting that before?

[summer stream]

yea

ur not tripping

but these are just examples of how

bad it can be

[celest forge]

Reported for repost

[summer stream]

Removes your words

gg

[formal plover]

I installed the mod pack, but I'm still not entirely convinced because NPCs appear faster than before. Can I modify it?

[sonic bolt]

I just copied the mosin text from either the base mosin LTX or 3DSS ltx

[faint sable]

idk then, it doesn't look wrong persay

[sonic bolt]

Well, can't go wrong following your suggestion 🫡

[sonic bolt]

Still no work...

[hot salmon]

Does anyone have ANM2ltx?

or it is a lost knowledge?

[novel ruin]

What?

Just curious, what is that

[hot salmon]

it was used by modders 10 years ago

its to edit camera movements

cutscenes, etc.

found it

Hm, it looks like that file might've been a virus. Instead of cooking up trouble, try cooking up a Chocolate Avocado Protein Smoothie: https://spinach4breakfast.com/chocolate-avocado-protein-smoothie/

what

ok...

[rough lion]

What causes the game to start constantly stuttering after loading back a save, and crash when trying to save? What are some addons thats know to cause such issues?

[hot salmon]

I know denuvo script that can cause this

[rough lion]

denuvo in stalker?

[hot salmon]

yeah

like crash by user name

etc.

[summer stream]

https://tenor.com/view/boneworks-kms-suicide-cockandballtortureisfunnyhaha-revolver-gif-19983342

[hot salmon]

its pretty popular in russian community

don't you know PDA Interactive have denuvo script?

[fair inlet]

do you use the busyhands watchdog?

[rough lion]

Wait, really?

[hot salmon]

one sec will send it

function OnSnakeGridReset()

    local snake_t = {
        snake_lh = { 108, 115, 95, 104, 101, 97, 100, 101, 114 },
        snake_b11 = { 66, 79, 83, 83, 80, 65, 67, 75 },
        snake_cs = { 82, 46, 69, 46, 65, 46, 76, 46, 73, 46, 84, 46, 89 },

    }

    local function to_s(t)
        local s1 = ""
        for i = 1, #t do s1 = s1 .. string.char(t[i]) end
        return s1
    end

    local snake_b1_s1 = to_s(snake_t.snake_lh)
    local snake_b1_s2 = to_s(snake_t.snake_b11)

    local snake_cs_s1 = to_s(snake_t.snake_cs)

    local snake_fr_s1 = to_s(snake_t.snake_fr)

    local gt_snake = gt(snake_b1_s1)
    local gt_snake_b1t = string.find(gt_snake, snake_b1_s2) or string.find(gt_snake, snake_cs_s1) or string.find(gt_snake, snake_fr_s1)

    if gt_snake_b1t then pda_inter_bp = true end

end

Pretty cool, huh?

[lilac ibex]

xd

[rough lion]

Could this be one of the reason its not part of gamma, apart from being unbalanced?

[hot salmon]

I used it to create this:

local function ALPD(string_id)

    local localized_string = game.translate_string(string_id)
    
    if localized_string ~= string_id then
        printf("ALPD returned true - Addon detected.")
        return true
    else 
        printf("ALPD returned false - No Addon detected.")
        return false
    end
end

[hot salmon]

Maybe

[rough lion]

And there is no way of using it without this denuvo stuff?

[lilac ibex]

there is

[hot salmon]

you just need to remove one single line

the real denuvo is in Dreams of Hell

like deleting saves
killing player
deleting files

etc.

was very interesting to disable it

managed to do it in 4-5 hours

[lilac ibex]

real denuvo is in one of leaked CoC patches.
it wipes your stalker folder & some win32 files.

[hot salmon]

i know how to do it

through FFI

powerful shit

[lilac ibex]

i know how to do that too)

[rough lion]

One line, which is?

[hot salmon]

register_shit_callback OnSnakeGridReset()

something like this

in main script

[rough lion]

I'll check it out

[hot salmon]

Let's create the most denuvo-denuvo script for stalker

[lilac ibex]

I prefer to make things that can't be removed by randos

[hot salmon]

lets commit denuvo into Modded exes then...

[lilac ibex]

go ahead

[hot salmon]

AOE-type-of-shit btw

[lilac ibex]

based A*E

[hot salmon]

why "A*E"?

Is it now banned to mention it?

[slow bolt]

Here? yes

[novel ruin]

What the fuck

What even is its purpose

Are they just really like to inject the most bullshit thing ever into their mod

[hot salmon]

it will create a huge table that will lower your FPS

and it will be saved in mdata

[lilac ibex]

[hot salmon]

meaning you fucked

[novel ruin]

Fuck ima search for that thing in my script mo2 files

[hot salmon]

and then you can remove it only by other script

the table

[lilac ibex]

it only affects bad modpacks

[novel ruin]

Like this one

[lilac ibex]

🤨

[novel ruin]

Sorry i dont get what you mean

[novel ruin]

Right.. i trusted a fucking ai, i thought it is just a coincidence

[hot salmon]

is there any function to check if player PDA is zoomed?

cuz axr_main.weapon_is_zoomed works only for weapon

[unborn crest]

are weapon ports from the IWP mod being removed in moddb? Why?

[rough lion]

IWP devs dont want it getting ported, i guess

[unborn crest]

[unborn crest]

COC is a dead platform
What do they want?

[stuck talon]

im a complete newcomer in this games modding BUT wouldn't a mod to solve the issue where the ambient noise just stops completely just have it so the game is checking (every frame maybe or at intervals) what the games current weather is and its duration, then setting the weather again with its current time left solve the issue?

how would i code that even?

what language is modding?

i know decently how to code in luau and im not sure how much of that is transferable into lua

i gather that much of the games coding for simpler things is done just by learning and using/modifying the existing functions?

[misty mulch]

.script files are Lua

no idea about the rest of your qs

[stuck talon]

darn

[unborn flame]

Hello fellow STALKERS Is anyone on chat knows what I need to change in files of M98B to have reticle from L96, I know that probaly need to be some M98B.ltx file 😐

[hot salmon]

wtf this mean? Is my shader like too complicated for DX8?

[unborn flame]

I found how to do this only in half way but works, on normal scope I have original reticle but when put on NV scope than I have what I want so problem solved.

[hot salmon]

3dss?

[lilac ibex]

yes.

u gotta compile it with PS3.0 target

[candid quail]

Thanks to Companions Inventory Unlock, I had a "well, duh..." moment. Turns out alife_create_item spawns an item directly into a companion's inventory, unlike transfer_item, which is part of the logic in axr_companions that handles whether an item is considered an assigned item, those being the items the companion is spawned with.
Because alife_create_item skips that logic entirely, anything added this way gets mistakenly flagged as an assigned item. That’s why companions don’t treat these items like player-given gear, they think it’s part of their default loadout.

[lilac ibex]

or optimize the code. it's possible.

files that has to be modified for PS3.0 support;

stupid question

saw this shader name

[hot salmon]

emm... YOU MEAN THE ENGINE!?

[summer stream]

looked it up here

[lilac ibex]

yep

[summer stream]

idk why but it concerns me over the fact that there is
_3

is it normal or im just dumb

[lilac ibex]

prolly just a modification of original selflight

[hot salmon]

Oh hell no, i will just delete some of a cool stuff

[summer stream]

just not documented

yea that explains it

[lilac ibex]

or optimize it🤷‍♂️

[summer stream]

thanks lvutner

[lilac ibex]

np

[hot salmon]

I don't think its possible...

[lilac ibex]

w/o the code it's impossible to tell what youre doing

[summer stream]

nothing is impossible

[lilac ibex]

its possible, i assume you didn't profile it

[hot salmon]

Its DX10-11

[summer stream]

or didnt try it using different approaches

[summer stream]

Я надеюсь это не чат гпт делал, а ты просто у других взял?

А теперь пытаюсь запихнуть обратно

[summer stream]

це руки и ноги которые по сути одна и та же модель

я того всё нахуй

[lilac ibex]

all that static noise can be replaced with texture fetch

• this sin-based hash sucks anyway (it breaks)

CA can be faked with ddx (if you compile shader with ps_2_x target). minus 3 texture taps.
rand(x) everywhere... you can do cheaper rng, with single frac() [look up r2 sequence]

[summer stream]

а ну и анимки от фаербруха не ломают большой палец нахуй

[hot salmon]

Do you like really study how DX works?

[summer stream]

Он работает над движком, конечно он нахуй учит это

[lilac ibex]

yes, long as i don't work on anything older than dx11

[hot salmon]

пхаахахахаххаах

[summer stream]

А хули, увы

alright, i will save this message and try to do smth

[lilac ibex]

https://shader-playground.timjones.io/ - this is pretty useful [choose FXC, and ps_2_0, to match r1]

[hot salmon]

And what is "CA"?

[lilac ibex]

chromatic abberation, aka this:

[hot salmon]

Thx

[hot salmon]

Okay, i have another question - is it possible to port 3DSS to DX8\9\10 by removing most of cool effects?

[lilac ibex]

everything is possible i guess

[summer stream]

if you wont try
you wont know

[hot salmon]

Well, there is only one way to find out...

[summer stream]

Терпи, ёпта

[celest forge]

Isn't the whole point of playing DX8/9 that you probably want to squeeze as much performance as you can from the game?

[lilac ibex]

by using 2d tex instead of static, instruction count goes down to 97

(1,1): error X5609: Compiled shader code uses too many instruction slots (97). Max. allowed by the target (ps_2_0) is 96.

so yeah. it is possible to optimize this shader)

[hot salmon]

Thx, now i need to understand how to do it the right way

cuz i usually look at someones else code and try to replicate it

and then write my own

and fail

[summer stream]

if it failed it doesnt mean it wont run

just look at the errors you made and try to fix em

that's how you learn

[hot salmon]

yeah i know

[lilac ibex]

and read old ass ATI/NV presentations. maybe you can find a bunch of opt protips there

[hot salmon]

i modd things for half of my life

[steady apex]

but do you mod half life

[hot salmon]

nope

[steady apex]

angry freeman silence

[lilac ibex]

error X5608: Compiled shader code uses too many arithmetic instruction slots (117). Max. allowed by the target (ps_2_0) is 64.
also this^.
you can avoid sin(x) in scanline shader, because one of "timers" components stores sin(timer.x*10.)

there's enough room for optimization in your shader. have fun

[hot salmon]

3DSS don't work at all in DX10 - i mean, i deleted 50% of the code and it still works good in DX11, but do nothing on DX10, like, its not working at all.

just empty scope with nothing

[lilac ibex]

because you need to modify the engine for 3dss

[hot salmon]

fuck

i expected this

isn't it worked slightly different when 3DSS just released?

[lilac ibex]

i mean you can just copy a backbuffer and draw it onto lens. don't expect it to cull HUD geometry.

no edits, no culling 🤷‍♂️. so your scope will look like this:

Is there a way to make sure vendors sell specific types of ammo? There's a couple caliber that I never see in any vendors inventory

[hot salmon]

this works perfect

do i need to explain it?

[stark verge]

Yeah if you dont mind. I haven't played on pc and modded my games in like 10 years till now so im out of my element on these

[hot salmon]

write ammo here

and traders here

[stark verge]

Yeah idk why but this looks like another language to me lol. Like idk where to add and where not to, im assuming within the brackets but then idk how to edit any of this fr. Idk im a lil slow fr fr so its jus stumping me

[hot salmon]

write items inside brackets

after brackets is amount

write trader here

and chance in chance

don't touch idx

[hot salmon]

and remove [2] from here

[stark verge]

Yeah I'm jus not gonna mess with it honestly, ik its prolly way more simple than im making it out to be but I know ill jus fuck something up or break something since every part of code has a function. Like the way my mind works when you say to remove [2] is I go, oh well do I remove just the number and leave the brackets, do I delete em both, or do I delete the whole line etc etc, I make it way more complicated than it needs to be

I appreciate it though

[hot salmon]

i can simplify it even more for you

and remove almost everything

and lua have very ease syntaxis

easier than in stupid Pascal ABC that i learned at school

bruh

[fair canopy]

Should be using dltx reader profiles instead of autoinject scripts

A little more setup but way easier to tune

[hot salmon]

True

[hot salmon]

True

But for some reason DLTX not always work for traders - at least with some addons

like addons for random items in trader stocks

Thats why i have this scripts as a Fix

[sonic bolt]

Uhh I'm assuming this is an OGF mistake for a 3DSS patch?

[stark verge]

I jus dont know the specific file names of any of the ammo for example, or where to find em in the files. And same for the traders too but since theres already traders in that list, I dont wanna replace any of em because I assume it'll break something

But its extremely annoying to not be able to find any ammo for the guns I use that I can buy. Like theres most options in trader lists but it seems like all the weapons I end up using, have a caliber that I never find on a trader

So far its the 357, the 556, and I jus noticed I cant find 9x39 either

Even on a playthrough that was maybe 75% complete , the only way I could basically buy 5.56 was by trading an npc vodka for it

[bronze apex]

where to find the ammo? unpack the game files and read /configs/items/weapons/weapon_ammo.ltx

or find veerserif's sheet

as for NPCs you can write !npc in #🤖bot-commands and there's a file there you'll have to look in

there must be a faster way that idk but

[stark verge]

Any information is better than none for me so ill take it thank you

[winter fjord]

Hello, does anyone know how to swap outfit models? from npc to player outfit

[lilac idol]

make sure there isn't a duplicated lens or something underneath and check the vertex group for it

[sonic bolt]

I just copied Frosty's lenses

Might have to ask which one actually affects the visible sights

[lilac idol]

the one with a texture probably

[sonic bolt]

Uhhhhh how do I check that 🥹

[lilac idol]

look in the material tab

the "extra" lenses don't have any textures I think

[hot salmon]

🙂

[lilac ibex]

🫡

replace smp_base with smp_nofilter. you don't need anisotropic filtering on noise texture

[hot salmon]

Are you sure?

[lilac ibex]

yes i am sure

[hot salmon]

and is it fine that i use 1024x1024 texture R8G8B8A8?

[lilac ibex]

you ahve to register it in .s ofc

[lilac ibex]

fine. i would go with 128x128 tex tho

[misty mulch]

butcher in garbage DEFINITELY sells .357

[misty mulch]

!buyammo // before you jump straight to config edits, double check that your game is working right

[queen pine]

@stark verge Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[misty mulch]

9x39 is supposed to only be sold by the highest tier of WP traders, and if you can't find 5.56, make sure you checked NATO traders, it's incredibly common

if after all that you can't find it still, I would look at your custom mods FIRST before you start injecting ammo into trade configs.

[languid canopy]

anyone know where the inverno installtion guide is at>

[stark verge]

Thats why for the 9x39 then. I could've swore I didnt seem any 357 at garbage but ill have to check again,

Hey I'm playing around with importing maps from base Clear Sky into Blender with Pavel Blend's tools and when I clean up the map, the terrain texture looks very low res, does anyone know how to fix this?

[bronze apex]

my mod is now functional and i wrote the xml file and i just need to ask for permission to use these icons

would anyone know where i can pester the maker of this mod https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/box-loot-pack

and the maker of 245- Hideout Furniture - Aoldri in the default gamma modlist

[misty mulch]

you get one guess as to the name of the maker of hideout furnitures.

[random fulcrum]

it's 245

[misty mulch]

damn how'd you figure that one out

[random fulcrum]

because it's to the left of the first hyphen

[hot salmon]

god damm it

[lilac ibex]

you're close

[hot salmon]

if its gonna be 64 or 63 - will it be stable? Or it can crash randomly?

[lilac ibex]

it won't crash long as the shader can be compiled

[bronze apex]

@ornate spade sorry for the ping
would you mind if I use an icon from your mod as an ammo box in mine?

[hardy hound]

in x10_timer_restrictor.ltx (this is the brain scorcher timer config if im not wrong)

is this:

[logic]
active = sr_idle
 
[sr_idle]
on_info = {+bar_deactivate_radar_done} sr_idle@nil
on_info2 = {=actor_community(actor_monolith)} sr_idle@nil
on_actor_inside = sr_timer@1 %=play_sound(rad_hat_1)%
 
[sr_timer@1]
type = dec
start_value = 360000
on_value = 5 | %=play_sound(rad_hat_2)% | 0 | sr_idle@nil %=kill_actor%
;on_actor_outside = sr_idle
on_info = {+bar_deactivate_radar_done} sr_idle@nil
string = st_helmet_countdown

[sr_idle@nil]

how can I disable the timer or avoid getting killed by it at the end of it?
I disabled the brain scorcher and the timer stops, but for some reason, seconds after disabling it, I just die, even with debug god mode enabled. There's no info on the console, and even if I fast travel to another map, the same thing happens

[bronze apex]

editing the game files when it's broken probably isn't the way to go about doing things

but for troubleshooting use !bs in #🤖bot-commands

[quartz hill]

@vagrant delta i think a direct edit to actor_status_thirst.script changing start_blur_1 to 3040 should make it so that the grey thirst indicator shows up at 62%

this might change your stamina recovery rate a bit though (i'm guessing that's what the actor's power stat is anyways)

just keep in mind it is 2000 by default so you can revert if you want

[stark verge]

Anybody know anything about the grok mm and bs skipper mod?

[vagrant gull]

Hey if anyone has any experience with the level editor in the SDK, is possible to export maps from it with the hi res terrain texture on it instead of the low res Level of detail texture?

[bronze apex]

is there a way to see DII icon texture changes without restarting the game?

[bronze apex]

F7>F5

nm it doesn't work

[drifting moat]

There's very little experience with the level editor in the Anomaly based DC servers.

[drifting moat]

I just know how to turn off the Psy fields, but that alone might not be enough to progress the story without the need to still disable them.

[weary root]

i never messed with that part so i might shittalk but iirc in gamedata/textures/terrain you have level_x_terrain_masks that are responsible for position of dirt, asphalt etc… on rgba layers ig you can tinker with that and terrain mesh in blender shader/material editor to achieve what you want also join anomaly discord and ask @mfb he’s walking library about xray sdk maybe he knows some better way of doing this

[misty mulch]

Just say what you want to do with the mod

Asking if anyone knows about X is not very useful as a q. Telling us what you're trying to do is a much better way of figuring out what help you need

[violet shell]

Hello, what is the best creature textures i can get for anomaly ?

[hot salmon]

Shadows of Vanuychka

[vagrant gull]

Funny you mention MFB I talked to him in the open xray discord. With the terrain masks would I be able to apply those in blender and see maybe if those look good? Like play around with shading stuff. On MFBs side he said there isn’t really a way to bake the map with the shaders in the SDK. I don’t mind trying to apply the mask manually in blender so theoretically using the masks it might be poss to make the terrain look high res?

[weary root]

im no blender expert especially with shaders but i think you can use terrain mask red channel as opacity for texture a, blue for b etc.. or something like that to achieve what you’re looking for

[true solstice]

Hey guys, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I took on a quest to replace the L96 original model, that's looking a bit outdated. So I grabbed the one found in the "103 - L96 reanimation" mod. It included the original model, bones and animations. I made a new model and replaced the mesh, textures and everything, and it exports with no issue. But for some reason when I spawn both L96 variants, they still are the old models. Does anyone know what am I missing?

[fair canopy]

Wherever you put the model isn't overriding all instances of that model

Ie 3dss

because 3dss overrides 95% of weapon models in gamma

[true solstice]

I see, where can I find the 3dss files? maybe I can take a peak

Found it, now it makes sense, thanks! I'll keep looking

Is there anything else I have to consider while working on the 3DSS models? Like the scope or materials or some weird x-ray black magic?

[fair canopy]

You need the lens meshes from the scope. It's 3 meshes

If you're going with the original one scope setup then you can transfer the meshes over

[true solstice]

I'm using a custom scope, I found the 3 lens meshes. What's their function? why 3?

for reference, this is what I'm using

I'll just reuse the original lens meshes, it'll probably be easier

[fair canopy]

Each mesh has a different shader

All are needed for 3dss to work

[true solstice]

I got it to work, now I guess it's time to learn how the bump map exactly works

Is a bit too shiny now

[fair canopy]

[celest forge]

The more yellow it is, the brighter it is

The greener it is, the darker it is

Ideally you don't want a fully green or yellow bump

Somewhere in the middle in general with some high/low spots

[wary scroll]

Idk how much you know
But let's say you know some basics

So, stalker use bump, aka green bump
You use normal map and gloss/ inverted roughness to make them

The more you increase the gloss map light, the more reflection and shine you get

So, bright/white= reflection
Dark/black=matte

Depends on your textures/materials you have to change it and not the whole work

Here's a little tip, you can use gloss maps to give your texture a bit more detail. How? Let's say you have a metallic barrel and oiled wood for gun, you can add some scratchs and small dirts through your gloss map and make it super dark, then you will find out how it works

[true solstice]

I'm a 3D artist, but I'm from the new school haha, aka metallic roughness. I don't have any experience with specular/glossiness, and substance painter doesn't export the green bump map that x-ray angine uses. I sense that it is similar to the unity HDRP maps, but when I'm mixing the roughness and metallic maps into the bump map texture, I get a bit lost. I've watched the fan4t1c tutorial where he mixes the specular map with the metallic and the inverted roughness. Normally I would export the specular map from substance painter directly and follow the tutorial, but in this case I lost my source .spp file and all I had is the textures I gave my boss when he asked me to make the rifle.

[summer stream]

do you have the normal texture?

[true solstice]

but what you say is very helpful and it makes it less confusing, the darker the rougher. Then the normal map part is easy. What I would like to know is, how do you get the "metallic" effect

[summer stream]

metallic effect is made via high lighting parts that are metallic

which is yellow on bump map

[true solstice]

yes, I have the base color map, metallic, roughness, and normal map

[summer stream]

green map shows that it shouldnt be shiny

yellow map shows that it should shine

it mostly depends on how you want it to be

so you need to either manually high light it

or use metallic map in red channel

[true solstice]

ah so that's the trick, metallic in the red channel

[summer stream]

yeah

it can be used as red channel

but it wont have as much details as with roughness

you can mix it together

play around with metallic and roughness, so the ones that should be shiny is slightly yellow while the one that shouldnt be are just green

[true solstice]

got it, I'll experiment with it and fine tune it

thanks man!

[bronze apex]

that's not unusable is it?

[sonic bolt]

Does anyone know how why this is happening with the Stalker Icon Editor?

Is there a specific way I should export? I'm using Photopea

[bronze apex]

if you can open it with paint.net (nm)

there's an entry in the anomaly book for icons

[sonic bolt]

Weird, I export it through Gimp again and it works just fine. 🤔

[bronze apex]

in paint.net i use B8G8R8G8B8

[summer stream]

which is uncompressed

[bronze apex]

i have 0 idea as to what it means, i just know it works

[sonic bolt]

Maybe Photopea just doesn't do well with exports cuz its browser based

[fair pollen]

I've seen people either using paint.net or photoshop with NVIDIA Texture Tools Exporter plugin

[stark verge]

I jus didn't wanna flood the feed with a huge msg all at once. But I'm using that mod, and on a new playthrough, I noticed that once I get to the scientists that I'm supposed to buy the special helmet from in order to travel without dying up north, I realized the speech option that was there to initialize that part of the quest is gone and so is the helmet. Which id assume is normal if using the mod? And if it is a result of the mod, do I just have to skip the quest? Because I tried that on my last playthrough and it immediately started bugging quests that have living legend as a pre requisite

[sonic bolt]

Does anyone know where the base game's portraits are?

[quartz hill]

textures\ui\ui_actor_portrets.dds

[sonic bolt]

Damn, I was hoping for a DDS file so I could view em

[quartz hill]

there's also this but it's 1.5.2
https://github.com/Tosox/STALKER-Anomaly-gamedata

[sonic bolt]

Bless ya dude

Did you have to unpack the base anomaly stuff?

[quartz hill]

had it unpacked already

[sonic bolt]

Wonder if I should do it so that I can mod a lil easier. Is there any downside?

[quartz hill]

20 extra gb

or well you can take a look at the bat scripts and selectively unpack like just textures or something

[misty mulch]

yes it IS like that because the assumption is that if you want to skip those quests, you have no interest in doing story mode anyway

[stark verge]

Ahh, in my case I jus wanted to be able to continue up north for some quests I had but couldn't yet, thank you

Could I uninstall it, and then use console commands to progress a step into the quest, would that like, kick it back on track? Or should I just start a new game

[sonic bolt]

Is it possible for me to view textures with AXRToolset's OGF viewer? Or should I try another one?

[stark verge]

Wait cant I still get to places like zanton and Jupiter before I disable mm and bs by going through Laminsk?

[sonic bolt]

Limansk is also locked behind BS

[sonic bolt]

I already pathed the textures but I don't think it's working

[quartz hill]

did you unpack them

[sonic bolt]

I'm kinda following an old comment frosty made

#1143233268595044493 message Dunno if it even applies to AXR

[quartz hill]

maybe the textures folder isn't properly pathed?

[sonic bolt]

Dunno what I'm doing wrong then

Unless it has to be a specific folder

[quartz hill]

i uhh have the textures unpacked so

[sonic bolt]

They're from Dux (I think?) I'll just double check later

[summer stream]

uhh

isnt it this thing?

[sonic bolt]

So I should use OGF Tool instead?

[summer stream]

it can be used to view with textures too

yea

[quartz hill]

is the folder structured like textures\act\ and then those files/folders?

[sonic bolt]

Yeah, how precise to I have to be?

[quartz hill]

oh uh if not that then i don't really know lmao

oh it might be because dux mostly adds new textures, so the ogf viewer can't find the originals

guess you have to unpack textures

[sonic bolt]

Do I put em in a folder then just use the unpacker bat?

[quartz hill]

you can run the converter.exe directly from a commandline on these two probably

[summer stream]

i have all of the stuff unpacked because of thing called configs (god im going to hang myse)

[sonic bolt]

Does unpacking create an extra copy? Cuz I accidentally clicked the bat without realizing what it did

[summer stream]

and also textures too
but these r mostly configs

[summer stream]

nah they are being overwritten

[sonic bolt]

well damn, can I repack them or will I have to just leave it in?

[summer stream]

you can just delete them

[nocturne night]

Hi how can I patch this medical item to use BHS?
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/eft-afak-animation

[summer stream]

you can look into configs for bhs

[sonic bolt]

Oh sweet that's a relief

[summer stream]

its all just reverse engineering

[nocturne night]

I'll do that

[summer stream]

look there
see what it does

do the same to your thing

[quartz hill]

unpacker doesn't change the files in \db, it just extracts them basically

[summer stream]

im still curious about why gimp cant read bc7 format

[sonic bolt]

So uhhh what do I do

[quartz hill]

br

[summer stream]

uhh

go into bat file

edit it

and then just write down the db files you have

[sonic bolt]

Still nothing

Im gonna eep on it

[quartz hill]

remove the act\ at the end

[sonic bolt]

[quartz hill]

now go sleep

[sonic bolt]

Nap time

[summer stream]

@lilac ibex how hard it is to add bounce physics

[misty mulch]

The task framework for main quests is somewhat fragile - wherever possible I would recommend rolling back older saves

Even if you can grant yourself the next quest stages, sometimes there are additional flags that won't be set or NPCs that won't have the right dialog portions or won't be set to the correct "version" for that stage of the quest

It's really not well documented either so everything is messy

[true solstice]

I'm so happy I managed to get this gun into the game. It was quite the challenge. It's still not perfect, since this gun wasn't made with x-ray in mind, but it's more than close enough

[summer stream]

pbr textures?

if it is, then you would need to uhh..make pseudo pbr, or well
bake the normal, roughness and metallic on top of color map

using substance painter

[true solstice]

yes, but I lost some of my source files in a SDD failure. So I would have to redo the lowpoly, uv mapping and textures from scratch and I really don't want to do that haha

[wintry flax]

i need a mod that tells the other stalkers to mind their own business when they get within my immediate range lol

does this check if NPC is offline or online state?

and can it check whole squads?

especially if i get it by story id

[wary scroll]

@lilac ibex

So I got a little question

How much x-ray or SSS can handle the parallax

One thing that is really annoying is, when you get too much detail on your height map

It's impossible to get every single one, and when you have more than 70% white(depends on the black and mid tons) you get a glitch, and you can see the texture got cut off and stacked to the hell all the way up

So what should I do?
What's your method or idea of making this less noticeable

Wasn't a little question as I can see now

[lilac ibex]

How much x-ray or SSS can handle the parallax
depends on used shader. parallax will always suffer from some issues.

noise/detail
i usually set sampler to bilinear, and use mips in parallax shader (less noisy, and in certain cases it can be faster)
parallax should be smooth imo

[wary scroll]

As I saw your work on GTR, it was super smooth even with that height

But well, that's why you are the god of anomaly modding ofc

[lilac ibex]

i don't remember GTR parallax anymore, gotta download it n see

[wary scroll]

It was a masterpiece

Idk where my modding role just dropped

But

[lilac ibex]

masterpiece =>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8MNyE8OTDA

[lilac ibex]

its trash. anisotropic filter on heightmaps, no mips XD

it looks good cuz of dobrovs textures. shader sucks

[wary scroll]

Hard to say
But it's a bit different compared to what he sent

Some textures got some high quality height without any issues

But for ground it's a bit meh when you take the alpha channel for grounds to SSS height

Just for grounds

The rest works very smoothly

May I get your help for understanding height maps a little better?

[shy seal]

hello guys, i want to install 2 new mods on my gamma, how can i do that? One is new launcher and the other is the previous task button on the pda

[regal bolt]

Hi, can someone, please, make a mod like this: https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1390267272425111673 but for junk, materials, etc
Add a context menu that will stack 10/100/all(or other amount) items into 1 and unstack by using context menu option

[bronze apex]

yes you can

• add an item that is stack x of item y
• add the crafting recipes to an existing or old category
• DLTX the parts.ltx file to make it disassemble to x items of y item

[misty mulch]

This would require significantly rewriting the entire inventory management system for it to do what you want

Bulk Ammo is done by making a new item that just "disassembles" into a lot of ammo

And ironically you could seriously fuck yourself over with such a mod - if you're near the item ID limit, theoretically you could tip yourself over by disassembling these "stacked" items

[bronze apex]

i actually need MCM to safely disable the mod

[regal bolt]

why so? You delete ids when stacking them into 1 id and recreate unstacking

[misty mulch]

The game doesn't "reserve" IDs, it uses them, so if you "reduce" 10 IDs to 1 when you stack -> you do other things and the game spawns more items/NPCs, using up those 9 freed IDs -> unstack the item -> you now have 10 NEW IDs

If the game "reserved" IDs you'd be fucked instantly

[summer stream]

is there any other shader that does the same as selflight_det, but has alpha channel?

[lilac ibex]

lightplanes?

[summer stream]

ill look into that, but idk how it will look like in-game

[misty mulch]

@bronze apex for "how do i make a mod installer" - the simplest is to use a BAIN setup, this creates a set of install options when used in MO2. The set-up is very simple, you only need to change your mod folder to have this filepath:

your mod's .zip file
| └─ 00 MAIN
|    └─ gamedata/whatever (the base files of your mod, the [9] version)
| └─ 01 Everyone Sells Fridges Patch
|    └─ gamedata/configs/items/settings/put the versions of mod_craft_whatever.ltx with [10] here

when you go to install it it will look like this

you can even create a file package.txt in the top level and write out all the details about which option does what

anything in 01 will overwrite stuff in the 00 folder(s)

02 overwrites 01 etc.

[hot salmon]

is it possible to add your own upgrades?

Can you work around that ?

[summer stream]

yea

[next zinc]

Like make it possible for anomaly

Nice

[summer stream]

but i need to make it actually work for substance painter

that's

that's uh

not a good sign

[next zinc]

Shiiiiit

[summer stream]

so this part of the gun has funny uv tiles

it's just this

can i just delete it

[next zinc]

Yeah of course

Anything to make it into the game

I wanna m110 the zone fuckn much

[summer stream]

uv tile unbroken i hope

[next zinc]

Me too

[sour sundial]

where?

[hot salmon]

wpn_ash12

[sour sundial]

i dont know where is the file

[hot salmon]

bro

[sour sundial]

oh

[summer stream]

@next zinc alright those are easy fixes, just very tedious

almost ready to be launched into SP to be baked on and then showed in-game

[next zinc]

HELL YEAH !

[fair canopy]

This is incorrect

Adding ! without context is an easy way to cause issues

[summer stream]

it launched me into SP

@next zinc imma show the quick render of how it's supposed to look, but don't forget we are talking about anomaly here
so it will look slightly different from anomaly

[next zinc]

Oh my fuckn god

My dream is coming true

Once again Thank You !

[summer stream]

oh and yeah i will show what height map does

w/o height map

w/ height map

here ya go

alright so i made it into blender, time to add lens n other stuff

[nocturne night]

Maka this is the 3 project I see you in

[summer stream]

i do literally all of the stuff

[nocturne night]

at the same time

[summer stream]

[nocturne night]

where is the Karambit Maka?

[summer stream]

the blend file im in is
the same one as where im doing hands

[nocturne night]

I've been waiting for a milenia now

[summer stream]

i need to ask someone to port anims from cod

[nocturne night]

[next zinc]

Nice

[next zinc]

Where does this grip came from ?

[summer stream]

the original SR-25 from EFP

they have some good anims

[next zinc]

Oh really ?

[summer stream]

yea

[next zinc]

But there isnt a grip un there

[summer stream]

i took uhhh
this one as reference
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/sr-25-eft

[next zinc]

Ooh I see

I though we were talking about this one

[summer stream]

i think gamma has it

but i suppose we will get the superior version of it

[next zinc]

https://www.youtube.com/embed/2MkTTaa3GLw

with the grip it looks like this one

Wich is also very sick

[next zinc]

Hell yeah

[summer stream]

Oh fuck.
Oh no;

[fair canopy]

Try merging

[summer stream]

sir

im separating them

[fair canopy]

[summer stream]

ok it works

Hell

yea we good

no worries

that still scares me

ggez

god damn

that shit is fucking FAT

[sonic bolt]

THIS is what comes to mind when I hear SR-25

[summer stream]

i fucking love it

[sonic bolt]

Loved that thing in BF4

[summer stream]

added grip

fucking wha

[next zinc]

Me too

My favorite weapon ever

[next zinc]

Hollyyy sheeesh

[summer stream]

writing it all down

[next zinc]

[summer stream]

now ill play around with metallic and roughness for bump

[next zinc]

[celest forge]

over 100k for a basis ass AR10

[fair canopy]

Because the muzzl_gl bone isn't used, so it's a free bone to tie the lens hider to

[summer stream]

it's not tarkov model so uh

none of my business

[celest forge]

Simply don't use unoptimized models

[summer stream]

i dont care

literally

[celest forge]

Yeah I can tell

[summer stream]

you do guns your way

i do it mine way

[celest forge]

One can tell you don't care with your mods

[summer stream]

yeah

do you think i even care slightly that people cant run my mods under dx11?

[celest forge]

That's not even related to DX version

[summer stream]

good

[celest forge]

It's just a dogshit practice

[fair canopy]

Smelly plebs

[summer stream]

[summer stream]

meh

[celest forge]

BaS world models all over again

[fair canopy]

To be fair, the bas world models having full bones is probably more of an issue than the poly count

[celest forge]

Optimization is the problem

Or rather the complete lack of it

[tardy flicker]

Want to take a shot at modding, is Igi's guide a good starting point for npc/task creation?
Any other resources that I should look at?

[celest forge]

https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/

[tardy flicker]

Nice, I've looked at it a bit, wasn't sure if it was still up to date, thanks

[celest forge]

It is

It's still being updated

If you have doubts you can also join their discord server

[tardy flicker]

Thanks, I'll probably have a few lol, only modding experience so far is arma which is a hell of a lot more documented

[rough lion]

How can I add static radiation fields to specific locations?

[summer stream]

@next zinc yo check dms

[next zinc]

Checked !

[summer stream]

i still dont get how 3dss works

written down

go into game
doesnt work

like

idfk what's wrong

@fair canopy do you have any idea what's causing it?

since lens is there, it disappears n stuff but

that's all

i have all of the required meshes too

[fair canopy]

For guns with integrated scopes you have to add scope parameters under the weapon section

[summer stream]

fuck

[fair canopy]

I'd suggest using the parameters of whatever gun you took the lenses from and going from there

[summer stream]

uhh

and i did write down this

looking at the config in here

[fair canopy]

Are you using the marchf lens?

[summer stream]

yea

[fair canopy]

Go into the scopes configs and copy the 3dss parameters for it

Then copy and paste thst under your weapon section

[summer stream]

this one or the one that's written in 3dss

[fair canopy]

In 3dss

[summer stream]

so it's this

[fair canopy]

In mod system 3dss scopes

[summer stream]

ah

this one?

[fair canopy]

Yeah

[summer stream]

so i just paste that thing into my weapon

non-hud section

[fair canopy]

Yeah

[summer stream]

k

done

time to look at it in-game

[pure flame]

After reinstaling grass mod, info in ammo window has been altered with strange symbols (i play in russian languages) can anyone help me?

[summer stream]

alright it does work, thanks man

time to fix the rest

[fair canopy]

[summer stream]

what is the mod?

[pure flame]

Aydin grass tweaks

[summer stream]

Так погодь, а символы где?

Где им там плохо стало?

[pure flame]

Не знаю. Заметел что после переустоновления мода, надписи названия и информация об потронах написоно какимито символами вместо нормальных букв

[summer stream]

Патроны..понятно. Ты доп. моды не ставил?

[pure flame]

Нет

[summer stream]

Найди 287- G.A.M.M.A. Massive Text Overhaul Project - SageDaHerb and Dr.Pr1nkos и переустанови его

[pure flame]

Ok

[pure flame]

Несработоло

[cinder charm]

У тебя чистая гамма ??

[pure flame]

Да

[cinder charm]

Тогда не парься и обнови ее через лаунчер

Все вернётся в норму

[pure flame]

Да, так будет проще. Спасибо большое вам

[bronze apex]

thank you

[safe nimbus]

@steady apex Could you PM me? I've got some questions if you have the time.

[hot salmon]

Can someone explain where to find this shader? Its nonexisting in vanilla files, but used for vanilla PDA

lfo_glass_lens_weapons

[summer stream]

how is it not there

[hot salmon]

I don't know

Full vanilla

Maybe it is engine?

[summer stream]

Бля у меня тут распакованные есть, ща позырю

[hot salmon]

Вот у меня тоже

даже папки нету этой models

только в 3dss есть

[summer stream]

Ну это ж шейдер

Поздравляю

Они есть

так стоп

линзы?

погодь

тут чёт не чисто

[hot salmon]

Да

яж бляха и говорю

я не понимаю где они

я вот движок чекнул, думал мб зашиты как-то

[summer stream]

Ну может быть

Только вот уже не понятно

Кто насрал

Да ёп твою

Я кажется понял

[hot salmon]

???

[summer stream]

Это отдельный модовый шейдер

[hot salmon]

он в ваниле используется

на мешах

Максимально странная хуйня

Я ща вручную поищу

Потому что такой хуйни просто не может быть

[hot salmon]

@lilac ibex sorry for ping, but can you explain where is lfo_glass_lens_weapons vanilla shader? Its not in vanilla base files (db) and also i can't find it in Engine - its a whole mystery where it is.

[hot salmon]

Именно

[summer stream]

Задокументированно в ебучем FAQ

Но нету в файлах

Чё за шиза?

[hot salmon]

Я это давно заметил

Я вот движок рою

[summer stream]

так погодь я не понял

[hot salmon]

хде он?

[summer stream]

это чё за копи паст

у них обоих одни и те же обозначения

[hot salmon]

не, эт норм, я видел уже это

но там прикол с отображением вроде нейки

тоже нету

[summer stream]

мем

и он туда же

[hot salmon]

я с самого начала не мог понять что за херь

[summer stream]

Но меня напрягает то что их три

[hot salmon]

эт не те, нужно lens

lfo_glass_lens_weapons

[summer stream]

Это то понятно

Но я по описанию найти хочу

[hot salmon]

для каждого рендера свой

[summer stream]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/986497966107947049/1319016504246669394/RDT_20241217_2341055755542884020939763.gif

Чё нахуй?

Я lightplanes искал

Он не нашёл

[lilac ibex]

shaders.xr

[summer stream]

А потом резко нашёл

[hot salmon]

almost find them myself

holyy shiit

@summer stream есть идеи насчёт того что выше?

а то желание стырить этот шейдер с parallax reflects sights

[summer stream]

Там вписаны все шейдеры

Ты ж видешь

Только вот я хз как ты их менять будешь

[hot salmon]

ага

[lilac ibex]

use sdk/shader.xr decompiler.

and dont expect to see raw code.
you will need to make your own script shader, then pixel & vertex for it.

[hot salmon]

bruh, can i just stole rewrite Parallax reflex sight shader?

[lilac ibex]

try and see

[peak quest]

[hot salmon]

Work perfect, just deleted some useless stuff

#include "common.h"

struct vf
{
    float4 hpos : SV_Position;
    float2 tc0 : TEXCOORD0;
    float3 T : TEXCOORD1;
    float3 B : TEXCOORD2;
    float3 N : TEXCOORD3;
    float3 P : TEXCOORD4;
};

float current_lum()
{
    float lum_min = 0.50;
    float lum_max = 3;
    float lum = s_tonemap.Load(int3(0, 0, 0)).x;
    return clamp(1 - (lum - lum_min) / (lum_max - lum_min), 0, 1);
}

float4 sample_dirt(float2 tc, float3 w_nrm)
{    
    float4 color = s_base.Sample(smp_rtlinear, tc);
    return float4(color.rgb * 2 * calc_model_lq_lighting(w_nrm), color.a);
}

float4 rgba_blend(float4 b, float4 a)
{
    float na = a.a + b.a * (1 - a.a);
    float3 nc = na > 0 ? (a.rgb * a.a + b.rgb * b.a * (1 - a.a)) / na : float3(0, 0, 0);
    return float4(nc, na);
}

float4 main(vf I): SV_Target
{
    float4 lens = s_base.Sample(smp_rtlinear, I.tc0);
    lens.a *= current_lum();
    float4 dirt = sample_dirt(I.tc0, I.N);
    return rgba_blend(lens, dirt);
}

Finally i can get rid of another compatibility patch
