this isn't valorant sir

[lament current]

i know, always seen people do weeb stuff on nexus.. and always hated it.. but its pretty fun just doing stuff for fun

[summer stream]

https://tenor.com/view/derzko69-derzko69happy-hanhanisadog-happy-gif-15073532359681273756

you dont know what i did

wait nvm i have this

[lament current]

i actually started wanting to make it black carbon and tactical.. but then shit started to kick in. and it went different

[lament current]

you made this?

[summer stream]

yea

cyberpunk stuff

[lament current]

its fucking cool man

could i try and color it.. just for fun to fit the blade?

[summer stream]

hold on

it's on moddb

i can give you the link

so u can color it

[lament current]

bro i have it

[summer stream]

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

[lament current]

already hahaha

[summer stream]

then go on

i'm not holding you back

idk if its a problem but the textures r in 2k and 4k

[lament current]

i still dont know how to see it on a 3d model when i paint.. ive only noob been doing pure 2D.. is there some software i can use, to make the art better?

[summer stream]

blender

[lament current]

aha

[summer stream]

it has an xray plugin

you port ogf into it

you can texture there but it's pretty meh?

[lament current]

ye ye, i just need to see where stuff goes you know

[peak quest]

whatever these fuckers are.. need a retexture

or something theyre always just black as the void

terrible looking under nods

[lilac ibex]

thats more of a shader problem

[proven rivet]

are theres tutorial to do the texture bumpmap on anomaly

[lilac ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/jgmm-cat-meme-ragebait-cat-think-cat-ponder-gif-7034802297606826390

anomaly modding book?

[proven rivet]

can i get the link ?

please

[lilac ibex]

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

[proven rivet]

thanks

[lilac ibex]

bump.dds, just in case;

Red - gloss/specular
Green - normal Z (blue channel of ur normal map)
B.. - normal Y (g.. channel of ur normal map)
A.. - normal X (r.. channel of ur normal map)

[proven rivet]

hmm i though they use roughness

thanks tho

[summer stream]

you can use that too

i use roughness and metalness in my red channel

[proven rivet]

seems mw19 use gloss so pretty sure its fine

[summer stream]

uh oh

what are you doing there

OH NEKYO

GOD DAMN IT

ahem

anyways what I wanted to ask is

what are you porting from mw19

[crimson salmon]

roughness has to be inverted before going in red

[summer stream]

nah

[crimson salmon]

roughness is inverted glossiness

the darker the area the more reflective is in roughness

glossiness is the oposite

[summer stream]

or just mix roughness with metallic

[proven rivet]

wait you know me lol

[summer stream]

yes I do

[crimson salmon]

invert roughness then mix with metallic if you want, it depends wether metallic will even add more details or not

[proven rivet]

i want to try modding on stalker lol

starting with something i familiar with

[summer stream]

ah understandable

but there is some more stuff to mw19 since it uses pbr

i can explain to you how to make it look slightly better since anomaly has pseudo pbr

[proven rivet]

ill ask later when it doesnt looks good

[summer stream]

as you say

[crimson salmon]

where can you find the rest of the pbr for me i can only find a diffuse and the a normal mixed with glossiness

[proven rivet]

use gameimageutil to separate it

[crimson salmon]

yeah i do that

[proven rivet]

it usually on normalmap rho

[summer stream]

metalness is cm
normal has ambient occlusion and roughness
color map has metalness too, i think

but its in alpha

[crimson salmon]

uhh let me check in my saved files rq

[crimson salmon]

so youre saying this is the metallness

[summer stream]

it doesnt load me, shit

[crimson salmon]

what?

[summer stream]

god i love discord

hold on

[celest forge]

That looks like a normal metallic map

[summer stream]

yea

it is metallic

[celest forge]

Under normal engines with PBR setups that could be used, but X-Ray uses bumps

[crimson salmon]

weird, i wouldnt mix it with the roughness/glossiness in mw textures though

lemme see what it would look like

[summer stream]

i bake the stuff on

[crimson salmon]

onto the diffuse?

[summer stream]

yes

[crimson salmon]

i do the same

[summer stream]

anomaly engine sucks mostly so PBR maps are just

color maps now

you bake on roughness, metallic, normal and ambient occlusion

then make right bumps n stuff

[crimson salmon]

this is what uhh baking textures and then putting normal with roughness with tweaked levels gets me

[summer stream]

this is what i did

[crimson salmon]

the handguard looks a bit off

[summer stream]

metallic for it is funny

[crimson salmon]

then why use metallic lol

if something looks off during baking i remove it

and tweak the settings manually

[summer stream]

idfc

[crimson salmon]

it gives better results

[summer stream]

i do the way I want

[crimson salmon]

okay

im just giving suggestions

[summer stream]

tbh that metallic just adds some wearyness to gun

like if it was actually used

[sonic bolt]

Inject it into my veins, I need this for my bandits

[summer stream]

not just taken off straight from some random facility

[summer stream]

sure

[summer stream]

but some of the times

[crimson salmon]

i will try next time

[summer stream]

it doesn't have metallic so

[crimson salmon]

if it looks good ill keep doing it

[summer stream]

i invert roughness and apply it as metallic

[summer stream]

it just suits stalker thematic of "Oooh this gun can't be brand new!!!"

n stuff

[crimson salmon]

i am making my own textures and i am trying to make it so that i only need to use the roughness inverted for bump maps

[summer stream]

good luck with it mate

[crimson salmon]

thanks

there are barely an references of the weapon being actually worn down

since its pretty recent

[summer stream]

just do what you want

as one of the artists said : "BUT WHY STOP JUST THERE???"

[crimson salmon]

i am putting wear in realistic places

[summer stream]

imagine you inspect your weapon

and you see how some dickhead scrapped metal off from insides

[crimson salmon]

theres moving parts in the insides

why shouldnt there be werar

wear in there

[summer stream]

and its the part where it doesn't have any

[crimson salmon]

true

[summer stream]

that type of shi sometimes makes me laugh

[crimson salmon]

i am mainly using references from this video on kalashnikovs site and tarkov guns

[summer stream]

amb..

i think gamma has these guns already but

the quality is meh

[crimson salmon]

rwap

[summer stream]

that too

[crimson salmon]

i am using the same models as rwap

butt

i got them from the original source

and redoing textures

cuz they are bad

[summer stream]

you're basically redrawing it

[crimson salmon]

exactly

[summer stream]

and making it look less shjt

makes sense

[crimson salmon]

but for my own gain

not on anomaly

[summer stream]

i should ask one of my friends to

port karambit from cod

[crimson salmon]

sounds cool

[summer stream]

the anims for it are crazy

[celest forge]

I touched up the AMB bumps too a while ago because they were too flat imo

[crimson salmon]

my issue is the the different colors in the textures are too dark

and too light

[summer stream]

https://youtu.be/BlDc72Vl0nc?t=9
this type of shi

[crimson salmon]

when i looked at diffuse the stock is like pitch black

[celest forge]

Yeah the mag and stock are super dark

[crimson salmon]

thats why im redoing them

it looks extremely off putting

i dont know if i should add dirt like on the original

[summer stream]

it just adds the effect of woreness

[summer stream]

like if dude dropped it n stuff

[crimson salmon]

this is what it looks like rn

[summer stream]

looks pretty good

[crimson salmon]

yeah

doing handguards sperately because the have their own different texture

[summer stream]

marvelous

[crimson salmon]

its unintuitive but for me its fine

all of the scratches are hand painted in

no generated shit

[summer stream]

i wonder if you have height map on that

dude right here dropped me an m110 and that shi had height map

still was a pretty good model BUT

[crimson salmon]

i only have height map for the triangle on the selector

[summer stream]

uv tile was so fucking bad i had to actually fix it

[crimson salmon]

but ill try to use a converter

and on the lower reciever

[summer stream]

and it also had over

[crimson salmon]

im pretty sure i could convert that

[summer stream]

230k verticals

with 4k textures

[crimson salmon]

verticies?

jesus

[crimson salmon]

how do i turn on the counter

[summer stream]

its not the fact of verticals

[crimson salmon]

i wanna check one of the models i have rn

[summer stream]

its in blender

[crimson salmon]

ik

where

[summer stream]

there is statistics

like that circle

near x-ray mode and the modes, solid n shit

you open it up and there is statistics

[crimson salmon]

im lost

[summer stream]

can you show me the blender screen

ill mark it on screenshot

im just too lazy to get on my pc

[summer stream]

this thing

[crimson salmon]

12.5k

[summer stream]

yeah

[crimson salmon]

thats not bad right?

[summer stream]

yeah its a good model

[crimson salmon]

cod model

[summer stream]

avg amount

you know what's crazier?

[crimson salmon]

i sourced the switch from a fallout mod

what

[summer stream]

cyberpunk models

that thing

[crimson salmon]

i can imagine that

[summer stream]

had over 80K VERTICALS

ON BOTH HANDS

[crimson salmon]

but dont newere games have a sort of tesselation that makes it so that it doesnt matter

[summer stream]

and clothes had over 100K of them

[undone spruce]

i wonder how did my computer handle 1.0 cyberpunk

[summer stream]

plus i fixed this kind of shit with hands
where verticals where sticking out on some animations

[summer stream]

it didn't

it vaporized in thin air

you just watched a gameplay of it

[undone spruce]

nah i managed to finish it

with 25 avg fps

[summer stream]

how was it

[undone spruce]

i found it weirdly optimized

[crimson salmon]

damn

[undone spruce]

for a 6 year old gpu

[summer stream]

i remember playing on it when

i got my new pc

it had like 60? fps

i didnt check it

it was high settings too

[crimson salmon]

flattest textures know to man normal map doesnt exist

[summer stream]

true, and also thats how it looks like on cyberpunk hands

i found it weirdly calming

over the fact that the fix was simple but i didn't know about it

[crimson salmon]

weird

[summer stream]

it was the fact that

i used SoC export

guess what was the problem about it

[crimson salmon]

what

[summer stream]

guess

[crimson salmon]

uhh

soc export

[summer stream]

that too

and the fact it had limit on weights

ONLY TWO ON VERTEX

[crimson salmon]

bruhhh

[summer stream]

CS didnt had that problem

surprisingly anomaly supported it

so now i just port cyberpunk hands easily

and there is another plus

i can straight up take weights from there

[crimson salmon]

I’m so happy I don’t have to deal with hand rigging since I’m only a gun guy

[summer stream]

you wish

but rn the fixed weights is heaven

for animating people

[crimson salmon]

I did think of adding a hev suit

[summer stream]

you dont need to worry about the fact that it will just randomly combust in random places

[crimson salmon]

From half life

[summer stream]

i think someone

ported the crysis nanosuit

[crimson salmon]

I saw

[summer stream]

and there WAS a mod

for HEV

[crimson salmon]

There’s the halo armor in stalker iwp

[summer stream]

so we just need to get black mesa hands

[summer stream]

i saw

[summer stream]

and port it over to stalker

[proven rivet]

so how do i export all motions lol seems like my omf is 2kb

[summer stream]

just without their weights

[crimson salmon]

Doesn’t sound too hard

[summer stream]

yeah

[summer stream]

how do you even export it

[crimson salmon]

He probably didn’t select each motion in the armature X-ray properties

[proven rivet]

select all the bones, on blender i export it to omf even tho the anims are there

[summer stream]

you

[summer stream]

No.

don't do that

[proven rivet]

how do i do it 😭

[summer stream]

lemme

here is ur model

you have your motions loaded in

click on the skeleton

press tab and go into edit mode

assign it to bone collections
(create one if you dont have it)

[crimson salmon]

Isn’t it bone group?

[summer stream]

then after that export as omf

[summer stream]

sir do i look like i kno

it just works

[crimson salmon]

It works differently for me

[proven rivet]

wait where is this i didnt see it at all

[crimson salmon]

Properties

[proven rivet]

ik its on properties 😭

[proven rivet]

ohhh its on object thanks i see it now

[summer stream]

now do this

use this

also if you export the hands animations

[summer stream]

do the same here

congrats it exported

[proven rivet]

i love my wifi stuff doesnt load

thanks tho

[summer stream]

dont forget to write it down into motion refs

[crimson salmon]

Yup

[summer stream]

and also into your hud animation

and i think that's all?

[proven rivet]

seems like

[summer stream]

i think someone already exported kilo141, you can look into their configs to see how its written

[proven rivet]

yeah im seeing it rn XD im just want to add mas stuff and try to port 1 blueprint

[summer stream]

you need to add additional bone for that and put it into the animations

which is lens

then work around with mas stuff

i never used it myself

[proven rivet]

i want my gun have fuckton of unused optics 💀

[summer stream]

go on, do it

[proven rivet]

ill ask again for hand rigs later

[summer stream]

which one

the IK ones or stalker ones

since whenever i see people who modded for Gmod i think of retargets

[proven rivet]

nah its like uhh chand

[summer stream]

what

[proven rivet]

the viewmodel

[summer stream]

from cod on gmod skeleton

[proven rivet]

yeah type like that but its stalker

[summer stream]

i keep thinking that retargeting from gmod skeleton is pretty easy

despite that fingers are

just fucked up

in multiple ways

[proven rivet]

im pretty retarded explaining stuff

[proven rivet]

gmod bones have -90 rotation on every finger for no reason i feel that

[summer stream]

lmao

[summer stream]

i just need a video guide about that shit

im not that stupid about shi if it means i can put TEC 9 from cod

in stalker

i need to do stupid stuff

[summer stream]

also i remember looking at it

in the fucking uhhh

gmod port

[crimson salmon]

How can I re target animations from existing stalker anims to a Ik rig

[summer stream]

the cod skeleton from there is just fucking gone

i was so sad about it

[summer stream]

you can't

it will just break apart

you need to remake them

[crimson salmon]

Uhuh

Someone has before but they used a paid blender addon

[summer stream]

ik rig can be used if you need to retarget stuff from gmod n stuff

[summer stream]

i remember that there is a

special add-on for maya

[crimson salmon]

Yeah

[summer stream]

that helps a LOT with it

[crimson salmon]

I also got suggested that

[summer stream]

but its so fucking expensive

[crimson salmon]

I plan to use child or constraints for hand and clavicle and I’ll do the fingers manually

Closest thing to retargetting

[summer stream]

[crimson salmon]

And it works

[summer stream]

that's what i do

well, try to

im pretty shitty at it

[crimson salmon]

lol

[summer stream]

literally zero animating experience besides fixing some simple stuff

[crimson salmon]

I experience from making anims in flash

[summer stream]

i keep asking my friend who does a lot of good stuff to retarget shit

we even thought of deagle from cod

and the automatic one too but the insane version

[crimson salmon]

I’ve seen a lot of retargets from insurgency sandstorm

[summer stream]

plus i would like to pay him some money so he will

port that karambit

shit is good

i even remember when i tried to retarget it

and used SCREWDRIVER instead of karambit

[crimson salmon]

Iwp uses bunch of anims from isurgency sandstorm

[summer stream]

we laughed so fucking hard there

[summer stream]

good enough i suppose

[crimson salmon]

It’s only pkm Rpk 16 and mosin manual reloads

No clips

[summer stream]

god damn

[crimson salmon]

Iwp devs did really good work with the textures

I can’t recreate what they’ve done

[summer stream]

its

[crimson salmon]

Besides tarkov textures

[summer stream]

its supporting bc7 textures mate

[crimson salmon]

They slightly darken those

[summer stream]

the best compression out there

[crimson salmon]

Not only that

[summer stream]

and also some other stuff

[crimson salmon]

They are really good at baking

Lighting

[summer stream]

whaddaya think

[crimson salmon]

Like insanely good

[summer stream]

these people worked on BaS

[crimson salmon]

They did?

[summer stream]

yes

[crimson salmon]

Wow

[summer stream]

now they are using ix-ray engine

to use pbr

and make good stuff

[celest forge]

Funny considering how BaS guns look most of the time

[crimson salmon]

Yes that’s going to be amazing

[summer stream]

Anomaly engine :

[crimson salmon]

Iwp is being ported to ix ray

Very slow progress but it’s being ported

[summer stream]

yea

ik about that

[crimson salmon]

I’m hyped for that

[summer stream]

that means much better performance and more technologies being used

[crimson salmon]

I hope people improve performance with pip scopes on there

With iwp

And add real parallax effects

[summer stream]

mm yes PiP

[crimson salmon]

Iwp just has a static cutout of a circle

[summer stream]

there's a lot of stuff coming up from there

[crimson salmon]

With gradient

[crimson salmon]

Yes

[summer stream]

i am friends with the devs

[crimson salmon]

Is ray looks amazing

[summer stream]

its pretty funny to see how it works

[proven rivet]

we use something called qci its like you can just mount the gmod bones to cod bones

[summer stream]

What the fuck is qci

[proven rivet]

you didnt need to retarget it on blender

[summer stream]

tbh i would like that for stalker rig

but it would need some additional uhh

how do I even say it

setting

[proven rivet]

long story short its like a list of bones name that are child and parents

[summer stream]

since stalker rig doesnt have only one

additional bone?

and its on forearm

[lilac ibex]

aight so;

1. get modded exes source code:
   https://github.com/themrdemonized/xray-monolith

2. find Blender_Recorder_R3.cpp

3. Replace following lines:
   188, 174, 167, 159, 152, 145
   with

    i_dx10Filter(stage, D3DTEXF_POINT, D3DTEXF_POINT, D3DTEXF_POINT);

4. build ze engine

[summer stream]

forearm twist i think

[summer stream]

mm yes ps1 graphics

[lilac ibex]

yes

[summer stream]

i would actually try that lol

[summer stream]

Dang

that would be actually useful for stalker rig

but you just port the anims and that's all

without additional fuckery on bones

[proven rivet]

it uses source engine procedural bones

[summer stream]

since every individual bone is being rendered out

[summer stream]

[summer stream]

anomaly engine is truly marvelous

[celest forge]

That looks really cool ngl

[lilac ibex]

can be better if you edit the shaders (Sample->SampleLevel [mip0])

[summer stream]

ah yes
mipmaps

turn on sv cheats and set the mipmaps to highest possible level

[summer stream]

so it will only load the ones which are being rendered from far away

[summer stream]

"yo this game looks kinda neat"
90's kids

[lilac ibex]

saar do not voxelize!!!!!

[summer stream]

what have you done

[lilac ibex]

voxelization for vxgi/ao

[summer stream]

[crimson salmon]

This looks like a headache visualized

[lilac ibex]

[crimson salmon]

Trippy dream shit

I once had a dream about stalker

[celest forge]

Can't even tell where is that

Agroprom maybe?

The warehouse in Zaton?

[crimson salmon]

Reminds me of skadovsk a bit

[sonic bolt]

Seems like the Ranger Station in Zaton

[fluid wharf]

tysm!

[sonic bolt]

Heh, right on the money

[proven rivet]

taken my sweet time on this damn

i think i know the basics now

[peak quest]

is there a fix?

[safe nimbus]

Anyone know why the AK Shakal is doing this?

I've done everything correctly in Stalker Icon Editor, but it just won't change.

Everything else did, but not this one.

Also, I have no idea what's wrong with the scope.

Shakal is also missing reload animation. (Doesn't pull magazine out.)

This might help.

[proven rivet]

fuck does someone know how to fix this

[celest forge]

The kilo141 mod is for dx11 only

[proven rivet]

no i made new mod

[celest forge]

That's what the crash says

This is not a support channel tho

[proven rivet]

im using dx11 tho ive tried to fix this for an hour

[proven rivet]

ok its working my dumbass forgot to change the export stuff

[main plover]

Is there a way to make only one part of weapon texture glossier than the rest?

[sonic bolt]

Does anyone know how to make the strapped and threat be different values? Because both seem to be incompatible

[main plover]

I think you need to edit strapped first export changes, resume and edit another position

Because hud editor remembers settings from diffrent states at least it worked like that for first person I had to make sure to "reset" state to make aim and hip and alt_aim to work properly

[weary root]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/camo-netting-shadow-fix

[sonic bolt]

Had no idea this was a thing, amazing

[main plover]

I think SSS23 fixed that issue with default textures

[weary root]

idk also this is proper one that changes shader for those on maps side iirc

[next zinc]

Thats gonna be awasome for a military playthrough

[crimson salmon]

Too bad it’s not going to be on anomaly

[fair pollen]

[summer stream]

shiny asf

[proven rivet]

yeah bc the blueprint is like 80% metalness

[proven rivet]

imma port one more blueprint and prob fix the mas scope a little bit then maybe my first mod on stalker anomaly

[summer stream]

now port every cod gun on stalker rig(jk)

[proven rivet]

[summer stream]

alright so turns out they had selflight_det_3_aref

[undone spruce]

It is possible to increase the glossiness of an bump texture, check the guide for the bump texture channels which one is it and edit the texture

[sour sundial]

I dont know

[next zinc]

Where is it going ?

[crimson salmon]

Iwp

[sour sundial]

Need help

[novel ruin]

#🔨modded-gamma-support

[onyx ice]

Can anyone tell me how to find out the connection between files? In the sense that, for example: to find out which .script file interacts with which .xml or .ltx, etc.
Can Notepad++ do this or Total Commander or do I need a completely different program?🤔

[misty mulch]

you look for what resources it loads 🤷 that's kinda it

[onyx ice]

Where can I watch it?

[hot salmon]

read script files carefully

thats it

for example, this script use pda_errors.xml as main file to draw interface

[random fulcrum]

my greatest wish for anomaly is for a script profiler

[summer stream]

you wish

[hot salmon]

ini_sys:r_string_ex check .ltx files

etc.

you just need to get used to it

[summer stream]

elseif
elseif
elseif

[hot salmon]

напиши лучше этот кусок кода

[summer stream]

А не буду

[random fulcrum]

that's perfectly fine tho

[summer stream]

Я не скриптер

[summer stream]

it just reminds me of yandere simulator

[hot salmon]

хпахахаха

я тоже это видео видел

[summer stream]

взял в команду чела
он переписал код
он нихуя не понял и выпнул их

[warped elm]

Anyone know what mod this AKS-74U Tactical is from?

[summer stream]

frosty's

[warped elm]

Thanks a lot Maka

[true furnace]

Does anyone know if theres a mod or how to make supressors sound more real ?

[sonic bolt]

does anyone know what the value or parameter for sprinting is? Thinking about adding sprinting to the No laser while ADS mod so that the laser isn't going everywhere

[peak quest]

This absolutely fries Jupiter

For some reason

[fair inlet]

IsMoveState('mcSprint')

[random fulcrum]

you're looking at the options menu code

[sonic bolt]

Yeah I'm

[weary root]

idk man works on my end maybe it doesn't work with map fixes or whatever is included in gamma

[hardy hound]

do you have latest SSS? they should be fixed already

[undone spruce]

is clutter a big issue in modern day anomaly?

i ask that cause ive made a pack that add 5 new types of handgun ammo, but sincerely i think that 2 are gonna be severely underutilized

[fair canopy]

I mean, anomaly has 4.6mm just for the mp7. That's why it's 5.7 in gamma

[peak quest]

yea i just updated it yesterday

[undone spruce]

yeah but i dont believe many people will be interested in .25ACP

tho ive already made 2, ill think ill pledge on making a 3rd handgun later

[summer stream]

25 acp

[fair canopy]

I mean if the bullets cost 2 rubels each and weigh nothing maybe it's not thst bad that you have to load a stalker with 50 bullets to do anything a normal 9mm fmj bullet might do

[undone spruce]

yeah, but im still more interested in the 22

[summer stream]

Oh dear.

Oh no.

Ron, what are you doing

Put your blender away

Don't do that gun

[undone spruce]

itll be my second 1300rpm machine gun

you know what, ill just send the pack as it is

[summer stream]

fear

imagine if you do a

an upgrade

that turns it into 9x19

with 1700 rpm

[undone spruce]

or better

.25ACP

[summer stream]

yes

[celest forge]

More of an issue if you have BaS

Or mods that add ammo for a single gun

Which imo shouldn't be done if the ammo is not redundant

[livid lintel]

sooo just how hard is it making a mod for this game…

[random fulcrum]

land the expectations plane

almost everyone that asks that question has the most convoluted, complicated, and hard to execute idea ever

as their first mod

and then get discouraged that people tell them just that

or think people are being toxic

[azure bluff]

depends on what kind of mod you want to make? but in general everything is at least a little bit challenging. The level of difficulty varies in the range of <custom_config_language, full_on_game_engine_development> with some Lua scripting with poor documentation in the middle.

[random fulcrum]

if it's your first time around then the plane has to land

good news is that lua is childs' play

[azure bluff]

language - yes. Scripting in stalker is arcane to me because i haven't seen any documentation with listing of possible operations with their return values & side effects. Feels like walking blind with hand stretched out and anytime i get cut i know to back out a little bit.

[random fulcrum]

ture

but still there's a large amount of code meisters in the scene

you can just reference

learn by studying already completed work

that's how i got into modding in general

anomaly being no different

[livid lintel]

Mainly I wanted to edit textures on outfits like different camo patterns but not sure if it’s even possible

[lilac ibex]

it is possible

[livid lintel]

I really want a winter camo for npcs and I’ve been looking hard for one but can’t find any up to date so

Hello anyone one knows how to add 'dissasmble' to items in game? Which files do I need to change? Ive added parts.ltx but nothing happens, the button appers but does not work, thanks in advance 🙂

[astral shore]

Fellow Developers, I still got into the debug menu and looked at the Forester.As it turned out, there are two versions of it with an adapter.Marked as wpn_k98_mauser_kit and wpn_k98_mod_silen98. So the first one has no spare parts and no condition, but the second one is fine-it's being disassembled and assembled.Also, having slept with an ordinary Forester without an adapter, I found out that the maximum magnification of his sight is much less than that of the same one with an adapter. Can you take a look?(translator used)

[fair inlet]

mauser kit isn't obtainable in game

[astral shore]

You're wrong.That's why I wrote this.I beat this option out of a bandit or a renegade (I don't remember) in the swamps in an old church.

[fair inlet]

it has been removed in next patch

[astral shore]

Thank you.Tell me, what about the multiplicity of the sight? Is that how it should be?

[hot salmon]

Maybe someone know how to enable debug on Dead Air scripts?

I managed to launch dead air on anomaly engine

[random fulcrum]

at this point with modded exes i think you could do an almost 1:1 dead air emulation in anomaly

[hot salmon]

yeah, most of crashes because of xml files

Expression : <no expression>
Function : CInifile::r_string
File : D:\a\xray-monolith\xray-monolith\src\xrCore\Xr_ini.cpp
Line : 1266
Description : fatal error
Arguments : Can't find variable hud in [device_pda]

stack trace:

stuck at this crash

i think its related to 3d pda

cuz dead air had only 2d

i get it

dead air configs is a total mess

well

okay now its g_script crashes

[molten fulcrum]

I'm trying to make a mod pack for gamma and I'm pretty much done how do I pack it up for others to download and play?

I'd greatly appreciate the help

[onyx ice]

So, if I want to find a .script file via .xml, then apparently the same method won’t work or do I need a different editor?🤔

[hot salmon]

it depends

just try trying smth

[molten fulcrum]

Alright can anyone point me to someone who might know what I'm talking about

[hot salmon]

7z-ip everything

[molten fulcrum]

How do I do that

[hot salmon]

from your modpack

and then upload

[hot salmon]

download god blessed 7z

[molten fulcrum]

I have it

[hot salmon]

and then 7z mods from your modpack

[molten fulcrum]

Will it keep the load order

[hot salmon]

no

[molten fulcrum]

So others don't have to hassle

[hot salmon]

you need to also include a file from MO2

[molten fulcrum]

How do I do that

[hot salmon]

i dunno

[molten fulcrum]

Is there instructions I can read somewhere

[hot salmon]

instructions? in stalker modding?

well

you can try to search how to do it in decade old forums

[molten fulcrum]

I'm actually try to read and there's no instructions damn

[onyx ice]

I tried searching for the file name in the texts of other files via Total Commander, with and without the file format, and found nothing.
And I am almost 100% sure that this .xml file is the key to solving my problem.

[hot salmon]

use notepad++

bro

Total Commander is like a decade old

of more

[onyx ice]

Does it have a search function for texts in other files like in TK?

[hot salmon]

it have search in every fucking file

[onyx ice]

Okay, I just don't know much about it. Thanks.

[molten fulcrum]

I figured it out

[hot salmon]

Got stucked on this error - any ideas? Ported weather from Dead Air

[onyx ice]

Okay, so what if none of the search types yielded results? What to do then?

[hot salmon]

send a screenshot maybe you doing smth wrong

[onyx ice]

It seems like I'm doing everything right.

[hot salmon]

блят ты русский

короче

ты распаковал файлы уже?

эт во первых

во вторых - ты кажись ищешь сам файл, а не то что в нём содержится

сам файл он не найдет, а строку с такой локализацией - да

[onyx ice]

Так должен быть скрипт, отвечающий за подавляющее большинство всплывашек на игровом экране, он так или иначе должен на весь файл ссылаться, а потом уже на строчки в нём, разве нет?

[hot salmon]

не всегда так

[onyx ice]

Блэтб

Мне тогда по строчкам поиск делать или по ID?
Мне @sacred token подсказывал возможный скрипт файл(actor_menu) и даже строчки в нём, но я не уверен как именно что в нём устроено и тот ли это файл в принципе.

[hazy hazel]

Quick question: does anyone have a link explaining how to edit npc_loadouts? Trying to remove/add some weapons to loadous of certain factions, but I can't seem to find what the numbers/letters next to each weapon represent (e.g. "wpn_mp155:r3:20"). Any help appreciated!

[cloud grail]

Guys, can you tell me what I need to change in the crafting recipe for the .50-09 rounds so that they can be crafted using regular 7N14 bullets and large-caliber gunpowder?
Парни, можете подсказать на что нужно поменять крафт .50-09 патронов, чтобы он начал крафтится от обычных 7Н14 и от пороха для крупнокалиберных патронов

Regarding non-human companions using the standard companion framework (i.e not Stray Companions) if anyone can say; is there a reason that hasn't been done before? Are standard companions required to have human animations for example?

[wheat kernel]

Hi, how do I add new ammo recipes to Ammo Maker? I want to add .50 BMG ammo from a mod I found recently

[misty mulch]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UTViiNg656Ey_0p7tL3DkJam9oe86RAL/view?usp=drive_link download this, only look at the gamedata\configs\items\ammo folder

[misty mulch]

read the full convo starting from #╙🖇mods-making-discussion message and ending #╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

[wheat kernel]

alright, also, is there a way to change the amount of gunpowder, casings, bullets needed to craft the ammo?

[misty mulch]

download the file, read the comments inside

it's pretty thorough

[peak quest]

I like inertias left hand peek but I wish there was a way to bind it instead of always left hand peeking

Because weapon cover tilt will get in the way of left hand peeks when not shoulder swapped

[lethal forum]

I'm trying what I think would be a simple replace but I'm probably missing something very obvious and I'm not sure what to try from here
so, I'm trying to replace the image in the "photo of a loved one" item and I thought replacing the image inside the DDS file in the mod that animates it would do it
but, as I tried adding the item through debug, the game crashed with a texture error
no idea what I did wrong, unless I'm supposed to pick some non-default settings in the DDS export?

nevermind, it was the export settings
some shitty online converter converted it to the proper DDS type right away when Photoshop couldn't

[summer stream]

mfw when bc3

[naive snow]

It's not photoshop's fault, you just didn't pick the right DDS compression format

[lethal forum]

was I saying that it is?
my point was that a random "convert anything to everything" website has the proper DDS settings to use in this game set out of the box
even in more modern games I had to look up the proper compression because PS doesn't have it set to what's common, for whatever reason

thanks for the ping though, I had absolutely no idea that a program doesn't read your mind and won't select the proper option unless you tell it to, wow, you live and learn

[late ravine]

Hi! i know how to extract any type of file from stalker 2 hoc, textures, anims, sounds, if you want any file in particular, just dm!

[wary scroll]

I mean there's something
Called DDS plugin for Photoshop

Nvidia texture tools?

Here
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://developer.nvidia.com/texture-tools-exporter&ved=2ahUKEwiTz8DVr6aOAxVx5ckDHaBGBHQQFnoECCAQAQ&sqi=2&usg=AOvVaw0KdOsqbOJTIcr3jSeSh5Ge

[summer stream]

he prob saved it as BC7

[wary scroll]

Ah bc7, idk what's that shit for, but whenever I try to save something with that format my pc goes down

[summer stream]

BC7 is basically the best possible thing that you can use for textures

[crimson salmon]

exporting bc7 textures for iwp rn

[summer stream]

bc7 textures

(iwp)

[crimson salmon]

yummers

[summer stream]

and there is also BC7 ON ANOMALY

which IS possible using linear instead of sRGB

slightly worse but the best thing you can get

[crimson salmon]

time to test my custom made textures

hooray

[wary scroll]

Isn't it way heavier than bc1?

[crimson salmon]

yup

but way better quality

[wary scroll]

Maybe for guns

But I think it's not the same for texture packs

I just dropped from bc3 to bc1 and reduced like 1g of vram usage

And just saw a little difference

[crimson salmon]

for guns/ hud models deffo

but ground

its not needed

i need to darken base color

[celest forge]

Just a different compression method

Heavier bits per pixel

But better image clarity

Sometimes, depending on the texture, compression artifacts can form on BC3 textures

But for the large majority of textures, BC3 is fine

You won't get much mileage out of BC7 in this dogwater engine imo

[crimson salmon]

crap i needd to make details more obvious

[pseudo turret]

are there possible ways to add by myself new transitions like from Wild Teritory to deadcity?????

[hot salmon]

Maybe...

[pseudo turret]

do you know guide or something?

[rough lion]

https://tenor.com/view/halo-master-chief-halo-infinite-xbox-xbox-series-x-gif-19586612

[hot salmon]

Guide? Its probably non existinf

Do i know how? No

But suppose you can

Look through re:done files

Or Anthology modpack

[pseudo turret]

i already make some by myself , but)))

idk how to properly get position

[hot salmon]

[crimson salmon]

ey what do you think of these textures

dont mind the handguard

thats old

[summer stream]

good 'nough

[crimson salmon]

thanks

[summer stream]

looks better than whatever stuff that gamma has

[crimson salmon]

now i just need to do handguard and im done

[crimson salmon]

thats all i need to know

thanks

[summer stream]

hmm yes

[crimson salmon]

gammas guns loook all plastic

besides certaint hings

that mp5

no detail at all

looks like one whole color

[summer stream]

because they use phong in thm

instead of something normal

[crimson salmon]

bruh

i have a thm gen

i just drag and drop

my textures

[summer stream]

i do have one too

[crimson salmon]

and it does it perfectly

[summer stream]

meowie told me how to make normal textures on anomaly

and i found out how to make better red channel out of roughness and metalness

[celest forge]

Does this even have a bump

[crimson salmon]

yes

[summer stream]

dont forget

not anomaly engine

[crimson salmon]

yup

id say it looks good enough

[celest forge]

Looks very flat ngl

[crimson salmon]

trust me earlier it looked even more flaaatt

[undone spruce]

SSS (i think) makes the guns too shiny, never managed to properly reel in the glossness for guns correctly

vanilla anomaly its okay

should i really try to gpt translate string texts to russian?
or just english

[celest forge]

If you want to accomodate russians

[crimson salmon]

do you have any knowledge on how to make homemade textures less flat

in substance painter

[undone spruce]

not particularly, just to make something aligned to whats practiced

[celest forge]

I've never used substance painter, sorry

Or well, I did once, but the results were mixed at best lol

[undone spruce]

hows your roughness map in substance?

[celest forge]

It's not that common of a practice

[crimson salmon]

i invert it for stalker

[undone spruce]

it really looks really flat

[crimson salmon]

anyway to imrpove it??

[undone spruce]

try messing up with dirt and curvature generators

[crimson salmon]

i allready have roughness being higher on edges

i also do those too

anything

else??

[undone spruce]

yeah but doesnt look high enough
also color as well

[crimson salmon]

okay ill increase color

[lilac idol]

reduce gloss on wet surfaces

it IS high by default

[crimson salmon]

like this high?

[celest forge]

I never got SSS to work on my PC, but whenever people send me screens of how my guns look with it, they look fine ngl

[undone spruce]

i think it is a bit, try checking on shader settings and then on specular quality and set it to very high, then check on material view how it shows up

this on low, as default

very high

[undone spruce]

on roughness, really try to make every detail contrast even by a little bit with the general surface

[crimson salmon]

okay

thanks

like this?

[undone spruce]

thats better

[crimson salmon]

okay

i am trying to do tarkov style

so im not sure if this is good

but ill see

thanks

[undone spruce]

in the end, you do as you see fit, if anything thats a gun in brand new state

[crimson salmon]

i tried my best to make it look used

[celest forge]

You shouldn't do Tarkov style tho

[crimson salmon]

okay

[celest forge]

Tarkov has baked in lightning

[crimson salmon]

yes

i do that

[crimson salmon]

this is not anomaly though

[lilac idol]

yeah regardless you shouldn't really do that afaik

[crimson salmon]

why

[undone spruce]

you could have some color variation grunge cloud and play like i said with curvature and dirt, or even space normals

[crimson salmon]

okay

[undone spruce]

i could paint some to simulate handling wear, but i thought that was enough

[crimson salmon]

okay

[lilac idol]

I mean why would you have some "static" lightning instead of making it part of the texture

[crimson salmon]

it looks better

[crimson salmon]

thanks alot

[undone spruce]

sincerely the main workflow with substance painter is checking videos on youtube and documentation, trying new techniques, and bashing your head in the wall until you're satisfied with the result

[crimson salmon]

although it doesnt look right like this

a more subtle effect felt right

[undone spruce]

sincerely, its hard to make the baked maps really work without putting several effects one above the other, in way you could make a multiply paint mask and paint it black over where you want to hide the new color

[crimson salmon]

i am not baking it rn'

[undone spruce]

baked as in the substance painter mesh baked maps, curvature, ao, thickness etc

[crimson salmon]

uhuh

okay

i will mess around with the grunge and reexport roughness and base color

and then use those

thanks for your help

[crimson salmon]

how does this look

[undone spruce]

It looks better

[crimson salmon]

ight

[undone spruce]

You dont really have to mess with it much, the color map will be the one that gives most details in game

So like that id say its pretty good

[crisp burrow]

Почему то не отображается текст в мсм.
Он еще какой-то ui_mcm_lst добавляет, но прошлые прописаны без него и все читает вроде.
В чем может быть проблема?
For some reason the text in mcm is not displayed.
It also adds some ui_mcm_lst, but the previous ones are written without it and everything seems to be read.

Anyone managed to dump models from arma reforger?

[undone spruce]

my 9 handgun pack is 1,36GB uncompressed

zamn

[summer stream]

i think not

[undone spruce]

damn 4k textures

[undone spruce]

i think ill return to 2k

and maybe ditch the bump#

is the height channel on bump# really useful?

[crimson salmon]

not really

iwp doesnt have bump# and all textures look perfect

[undone spruce]

i know that the normal correction can be ignored, its just the height information

ill try to make comparison shots

[summer stream]

bump# is used to make textures have less problem on sharp edges

i think

[lilac ibex]

yes it is. for parallax occlusion mapping.

[undone spruce]

converted some texture to 2k, shaved off 170mb

obligatory "that looks too clean" comment

[summer stream]

avg stalker player when he sees a gun that wasn't scarred or ran over by a track :
"that looks too clean!!"

[fair pollen]

If it ain't looking like from misery, aka being in rust(even the wood part ) that it's not a real stalker gun

[summer stream]

also true

if it doesnt look like this
it's not even close

[undone spruce]

w bump#

[undone spruce]

without

https://tenor.com/view/mariah-carey-reading-computer-staring-laughing-gif-17979599

it looks the same

[proven rivet]

for icon its goes to right or left

[summer stream]

from left to right

like this

[summer stream]

also nekyo
can i ask about that qci a bit more

[proven rivet]

[summer stream]

ima look into it and see if it can be reverse engineered

[proven rivet]

damn thats gotta be big

[summer stream]

ehh not really?

but we can use the ik rig for that

it can be used as the QCL

[proven rivet]

retarget?

[summer stream]

ill show it to people who knows stuff

[summer stream]

yep

[proven rivet]

never try retarget i though its gotta be harder than qci

[summer stream]

well

i can tell how hard it is

you can retarget hand n stuff

but fingers? no

if it's a gmod rig
you cant

[proven rivet]

some gmod rigs use something called proportion trick its really ass too sometimes its just cant be used

[summer stream]

proportions

dang

[proven rivet]

its just for anime models but people use it usually to cut time lol

[summer stream]

i remember porting hands from anime models

god how ass it was

considering the size of stalker hands

but cyberpunk's hands surprisingly went good for stalker
wrists r bit small but otherwise
all good

[proven rivet]

yeah lol i usually resize it to be useable and looking good

[summer stream]

makes sense

are people porting the anime blueprint from mw19 yet

i only see it on the original hk433 mod without the mw19 animations

[summer stream]

i did port one

[summer stream]

i have it ready to be published

[proven rivet]

oh welll imma just do it with this one blueprint lol

[summer stream]

a is anime
b is black(w/out suppressor)

basically here it is

[proven rivet]

😭

[summer stream]

fun part :
roughness sucks on it

[proven rivet]

well ive do the mas patch still needed to work on eye relief thing

[summer stream]

was forced to use one of the red channels on it

[summer stream]

(color map)

(mixed with roughness)

wasn't half bad

there is also this

kilo but using other mag instead of stanag ones

[proven rivet]

funny hk mag

[summer stream]

yea

took it from tarkov

lemme find it

just

hide it from camera

so the icon wont have it

suppressor can be a new one if you want

[proven rivet]

im actually didnt know what to attach there

it has own muzzlebrake from the blueprint

[summer stream]

do whatever u can

also

how do you get ur models?

since mine comes in this

[proven rivet]

i have friends that rip the whole mw19

yeah that

[summer stream]

i think i have

mega nz

with that stuff

[proven rivet]

yeah its mega

i think we have same source

[summer stream]

lemme think

[summer stream]

hold on

ill dm you the link

btw are your normals ok on model?

[proven rivet]

eyah

[summer stream]

since mine is like

always inverted

idfk why

[proven rivet]

its good

[summer stream]

but MW22 doesnt have that problem

[proven rivet]

ahh i always use the semodel not obj or other it usually obj is like that

[summer stream]

obj sucks

doesnt come with bones

i use cast

[proven rivet]

never use it

[summer stream]

same as semodel

if it works it works

[proven rivet]

semodel is the mw19 use for its model

[summer stream]

it has bones

[summer stream]

different approach on it i suppose

[proven rivet]

and seanim

[proven rivet]

yea

[summer stream]

dang
