[modest sequoia]

understood...

last time i changd it ... it was easier 🙂

trying to get good dark blood puddles

not as transparent

[lapis vortex]

[sonic bolt]

Do a texture edit like the new Saiga change

[lapis vortex]

Maybe I’ll edit it off the gun lel

have it scratched off like an illegal gun with no serial number

[lapis vortex]

i’m glad the saiga reanimation made it so the gun wasn’t covering the whole screen

[sonic bolt]

Lowkey thinking of adding a loner rad logo to Frosty's Vintorez and calling it the Redrick or something

[lapis vortex]

VSS “Stalker”

[sonic bolt]

Still think that XXX and Stalker are boring ass names for special variants

[lapis vortex]

true. VSS “Valerian” for Father Valerian perhaps

imma edit the Venal and name it that

lowkey goes hard

[sonic bolt]

I wanted Redrick cuz Redrick Schuhart from Roadside Picnic, plus Red from SoC

Bit too on the nose tho

[lapis vortex]

maybe like the word red in ukrainian

Chervonyy is apparently the translation. idk if that sounds that good tho

or maybe the word for blood. blood is red, gun makes people bleed

[sonic bolt]

Truly the most essential of mods-making-discussions

[lapis vortex]

VSS “Krov”

gotta make the mods appealing to the masses

how difficult is it to edit the weapon details UI?

i’ll figure out texture edits later. i might have to put a Loner logo on the Venal to own the libs

[misty mulch]

which bit of it?

[lapis vortex]

when you right click > details
where it shows the name and a blurb about the gun.

[misty mulch]

i mean with my 0 lua knowledge i managed to kludge together a stats change mod by stealing bits of functions from other people

[misty mulch]

oh the description? piss easy

xml file edit in plain text

i have a tutorial for that also pinned

[lapis vortex]

too easy

[misty mulch]

https://github.com/veerserif/gamma-dashboard/blob/main/xml_overwrites.md

example: i overwrite all ammo descriptions as a part of my simple ammo stats mod

[lapis vortex]

I’mma make the Venal a Loner lore piece involving Father Valerian and his goal to unite Loners

[misty mulch]

you can also use DXML to do it, then you don't have to care about overwrites and XML load order

[lapis vortex]

make the mod Loner propaganda

[misty mulch]

i have mods i can provide as examples for either method so lmk which you pick

[lapis vortex]

yeah I’m not at my PC rn, but I definitely will need to do that.

[sonic bolt]

I loath the idea of having to make a dxml just to capitalize Origin and Manufacturer in every single description

[misty mulch]

happily for you i am working on a text overhaul mod via xml overwrite

very slowly

[lapis vortex]

reading stalker lore to make my gun description lore accurate as much as possible

[misty mulch]

psht

the vast majority of modded gun descriptions are just the first 2-3 paragraphs from english wikipedia

do whatever the fuck you want

[lapis vortex]

booooooring

this is a propaganda piece

[summer stream]

i take it from eft

[sonic bolt]

rate my writing

[lapis vortex]

anarchy writing is good, the other is marketing jargon imo

[sonic bolt]

A lot of the special variants seem to have descriptors for what the modifications the gun has

Might trim the M45 descr too

[lapis vortex]

vero

What does the Anarchy look like?

[sonic bolt]

This is from Meowie's pistol retextures, it had a RDS in the first version

[lapis vortex]

damn. looks good. i might need to install that retexture then

the default gamma 1911 looks kinda ass

[sonic bolt]

Frfr, the new Anarchy looks way different now tho

[lapis vortex]

damn imma need that mod fr

[fair canopy]

[sonic bolt]

I ain't letting no CLANKER work on my guns

[azure bluff]

uh oh, that's a violation of a rule! Someone is using slurs against our, soon to be, overlords.
#📄rules message

[summer stream]

what

[sonic bolt]

Like hell, POINT TO THE PICTURES WITH A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON EM

[slow bolt]

And just like that you get 99% false positive rate

cause we all know you will fail even if you do it right

[azure bluff]

Not enough tokens available

[slow bolt]

you need to do it like 8 times and only then it will allow you in. You are making them money

[celest thorn]

can I damage my limbs with BHS?

like I want to specifically damage my left/right arm

[undone spruce]

https://tenor.com/view/lil-broomstick-baku-disappear-teleport-sethical-gif-13651469458816780243

[sonic bolt]

Is there anywhere I can find information on what these specific lines do or others related to 3DSS?

[crimson salmon]

anyone know how i could make weapon movements better in this animation??

besides fingers and mag i know i need to work on that

[sonic bolt]

Do you have references?

It's always good to have other animations to reference off of

[crimson salmon]

my reference is uhh

me reloading my airsoft pistol

[sonic bolt]

even looking at stuff from COD and other games is a good idea imo.

[crimson salmon]

i thought of that like a second ago

but my internet is so bad youtube doesnt want to load

[celest forge]

Motions like the mag insert and the slide release should be quicker and snappier

[crimson salmon]

ill probably speed up the animation in game through .omf

[tribal aspen]

Airsoft is good for reference

[celest forge]

No I mean just those parts

[crimson salmon]

okey

ill try that

[crimson salmon]

this is the 2nd time ill be speeding up both of those parts

lol

[sonic bolt]

Are you the Mr. Brightside? From the viewmodel anims I see on Youtube?

[tribal aspen]

fan account

[sonic bolt]

Identity theft is no joke

they'll put ya in the slammer for it

[tribal aspen]

What if I stole my own identity

and the new identity hasn't uploaded to youtube in ~5 years

[lilac idol]

feels nice in general

[crimson salmon]

i spent a good bit of time on this one

[lilac idol]

snappier movements for mag in and such as mentioned above would greatly help tho

[crimson salmon]

i want to improve my animation skills since thats allways been my thing, just it used to be 2d animation

[crimson salmon]

okey

[lilac idol]

for example I like the arch you made as an anticipation for mag in if that makes any sense

keep it up

[crimson salmon]

thanks bro

[crimson salmon]

i know what u mean

[lilac idol]

also try to have a wider arch for the transition after mag in to slide release

and make it longer

[worthy mortar]

Flinging the chamber closed causes damage to the gun, but I'm not enough of a gun nut to care about such details, just enough to point it out.

[lilac idol]

I'd say to try to avoid hiding the arm repeatedly

for example the first 3 poses could have the arm showing without having to move it too much

[undone spruce]

from unholding to swinging?

yeah i can see that, i just dont know how to make it interesting

this holds a different stance from ejecting both moonclips since you just eject everything from the other one

similar to the RS2 but they dont make the hand go far from the weapon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEb4LRqOdiw

[lilac idol]

yeah that, just lemme think about what you could do instead or search for a reference

[tribal aspen]

The gun rotating to the right during opening and closing the cylinder don't make sense physically

[undone spruce]

i've been mostly trying to make the cylinder inertia hold it in place by flicking the revolver

[lilac idol]

I'd say that's an attempt at anticipation

although I think it needs some changes

[tribal aspen]

Flicking it to the right makes sense to close it, but when opening it it doesn't. You have all that mass from a loaded cylinder

[lilac idol]

you could slow it down and reduce the amount of roll

[tribal aspen]

If it is anticipation then that roll to the right needs to be shorter

[undone spruce]

i could see if i can invert it

first to the right then left

[tribal aspen]

Or roll it less to the right and more to the left after that anticipation roll

[lilac idol]

well it could be the same speed really but the amount of roll doesn't carry over the inertia

[night shell]

someone know how to change the damage of the bullets?

[lilac idol]

k_hit values take care of the multiplier

[lilac idol]

I personally think that it would look better if the roll was in the opposite direction

[undone spruce]

wait up, fucked up the 2nd one

[lilac idol]

unless that's how that specific gun operates

[crimson salmon]

a little bit of anticipation of it turning to the right and the slinging to the left would look good

[undone spruce]

may i ask, this anticipation is on the hands positioning?
for now these are only rot edits

[crimson salmon]

how does this look

[crimson salmon]

turn the lead_gun to the right before flinging it to the left and letting the cylinder out would make more sense imo

[undone spruce]

i see

[lilac idol]

I think it needs a bit more anticipation right before the flick

[lilac idol]

reduce the up and down loc on mag in imo

but yeah I'd say that's better

[crimson salmon]

done

[old berry]

got a problem, whenever i add a gun i made into my inventory the game crashes without telling me why, like the log just ends when i add it, anyone ever run into something like that, idk if i fucked up something when setting up the ogf or in the config

[lilac idol]

it could be the world model

[old berry]

nah the world model is fine its the hud

[lilac idol]

yeah but the world model can crash the game when you spawn a weapon

happened to me a few times

[celest forge]

[old berry]

i mean i literally dropped it on the ground and it was fine

it crashes when i pull it out

[fair inlet]

consistently or only sometimes?

[old berry]

always

[fair inlet]

I'd install pdb if no one has a clue

[lilac idol]

just to be sure I'd check the collision boxes for the world model in blender

[old berry]

ok i kid you fucking not but it was the world model that was crashing it but the gun looks like this lol

[lilac idol]

[old berry]

like the parts of the mesh are all over the place

[lilac idol]

I'm guessing it might be a wrong export

but yeah I can see that the wpn_body is acting weird lol

[undone spruce]

DID YOu mess with mesh scale?
was it applied?

[old berry]

ye

[summer stream]

try applying parent with keeping the transform second time

sometimes it can break

[lilac idol]

I think x-ray freaks out when you scale the armature in pose mode

[summer stream]

it never counts scaling if you do it as an armature

you need to scale the model itself

[old berry]

i scaled in object mode iirc

[summer stream]

try removing skeleton and see what happens

[undone spruce]

you need to scale meshes and armature in object mode, apply transform

[summer stream]

armature only

[undone spruce]

id check in a pseudo rig, with imported hands, gun and omfs and check if it works ok

[summer stream]

scaling the model is

50/50

i just scale armature and apply it

[undone spruce]

scaling only the armature but not meshes would only make the original sized mesh displaced no?

[summer stream]

wrong?

if you will keep it all as the same model you can just apply the armature on all of it

[old berry]

thats what i did

[old berry]

i checked the omfs in blender and they are fine

[undone spruce]

hmm

[summer stream]

so here's ur gun

you scale it down to like 0.1

[undone spruce]

when i did it right now, it reescaled the mesh, but did not apply the scale in it

[summer stream]

now it's this

[fair canopy]

Clearparent and keep transform and reparent anything you trasnfromedd

[undone spruce]

like, apply the armature scale and check the mesh scale after

[summer stream]

go to here, apply the armature

removed the skeleton and it's the same size

so the problem here could be

1. didnt apply armature on all of the meshes
2. applied it as any other but armature

please don't scale the wpn_body

https://tenor.com/view/paul-baumer-all-quiet-all-quiet-on-the-western-front-gif-27475681

[undone spruce]

without armature scale applied

[summer stream]

xray will never comprehend what you did, it doesn't know how to scale down or up the model

[undone spruce]

it changes the mesh scale after you apply the scale in armature

[lilac ibex]

[summer stream]

lvunter what are you up to

[lilac ibex]

posting another closed source fork, but with real malware this time

[summer stream]

can i have some free malwares plz

[lilac ibex]

yes. 999+1

[undone spruce]

what does the fake malware does

[summer stream]

eats your pc

[lilac idol]

downloads more ram

[undone spruce]

any downloads more vram

im needin it

[old berry]

reparenting the bones didnt work

like these are the only parts that are wrong

in game though

[lapis vortex]

Newbies General will kill him for it

[lapis vortex]

peak mentioned

[lilac ibex]

for those 'open source' fanatics: download this source code (CoP fork) & try to find sussy code.

then you can send the code back to me (you will be rewarded)
good luck!

[undone spruce]

peak?

bro they made the cylinder rotate the other way

[lapis vortex]

the game is peak

rising storm/red orchestra are the best multiplayer shooters probably ever made

[summer stream]

uhhh

no thanks lol

[lilac ibex]

🐈

[summer stream]

ill just look into code for fun

(i don't understand any of it )

and it just doesnt want to uhh
download

dang looks like the code was found

it's the zip all along

[undone spruce]

dunno what to do with the hand at the start

[novel ruin]

The left hand push the cylinder out, because use the force right hand only is not recommended

See https://youtube.com/watch?v=GoVMsD97iZY

[undone spruce]

bro why cant people get cylinder rotation direction righ

and i want to do the flip,i know its not tactical but its a old loose revolver and there isnt much caution to it

it just creates the conundrum of wtf your left hand gonna do

[summer stream]

hyper

[wraith willow]

just to clarify, adding ! to the ltx before droptables, disables that spawn correct?

![tool_tier1]
lockpick

![tool_tier2]
lockpick_set
snapgun

![tool_tier3]
bundle_lockpick

![tool_tier4]
skeleton_key

or does it matter
[5:14 PM]
trying to get zlm to stop spawnign debugs and zcp to spawn lootboxes and items

[misty mulch]

Not quite. It just means "I am going to make a change in this section"

[misty mulch]

You would need to insert ! in each new line to delete that line, e.g.

![tool_tier1]
!lockpick

To remove lockpick from [tool_tier1]

[mental tusk]

guys come on, i thought id get atleast a single answer after 15 hourss

[lapis vortex]

me watching Forgotten Weapons to learn more about the AS VAL but another stalker got there first

[wraith willow]

idk I'm just getting so many issues having to get lootboxes working with zcp and zlm, I'm not sure if al lthese patches are causing issues with it all together, would like clarification for anyone willing. These are my mods i'm trying to get to work together.

I see al lthis talk of editing zlm loot tables and making them spawn with ZCP by editing ltx files, but I don't wanna mess it up, is there any reccomendations?

[undone spruce]

cracks knuckles]

[undone spruce]

i dont know much about armor skel, but following lunatic guide for weapons may be a start to convert texture and mesh to xray, i think tha main difference you be the armature and animation part of the things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwTYYH5zLjo

stack trace:

got this error, i know I'm close. this error pops when I attach the acog in game

[summer stream]

broken skeleton

[lapis vortex]

what does that mean? how do i fix that

[summer stream]

well you

need to either look into the skeleton

and how you made it

with that

oh wait

what hud did you use for the acog

does it have lens bone?

[lapis vortex]

it should, i used the m4_tac as the model

[summer stream]

https://tenor.com/view/slap-slapping-slapped-big-hand-big-guy-gif-23348997

do it again

get the vintorez m2 but with lens bone

[lapis vortex]

wdym? I took the ACOG part from m4_tac, added a lens bone and put it onto the VSS

[summer stream]

the problem is

that omf doesn't have lens bone in it

you need to edit it so skeleton HAS lens as the skeleton

AND in the animations

[sonic bolt]

So the omf bone name change is a necessity? No wonder I was having issues earlier

[summer stream]

it is

you need to have lens in the anim

[sonic bolt]

So the whole add new bone and add key frames for each motion is only if the gun doesn't have a suitable bone?

Cuz I'd much prefer just renaming a bone instead of doing that again

[summer stream]

just once

[sonic bolt]

I'd assume most guns have a wpn_scope bone I can rename though right?

[summer stream]

it will break

[sonic bolt]

But Frosty's guide didn't do so

[summer stream]

IT WILL BREAK

I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL BREAK YOUR ANKLE-

sorry

[lapis vortex]

frosty lied to us 😔

[sonic bolt]

The 1P29 I did earlier seemed to work...

At least Athi has a guide for it iirc

[lapis vortex]

imma have to start over

[faint sable]

you really don't need a full new bone named lens, if the gun has a wpn_scope, you can just rename it to lens

it's exactly how athi does most if not all the 3dss guns

[sonic bolt]

BUT MAKA'S GONNA BREAK MY ANKLES

[faint sable]

just need to make the new _3dss

makas silly

only time you need a new lens bone is when theirs no bone to rename

[sonic bolt]

If I wake up and my ankles are gone and my 3DSS patch fucked my wife I'm blaming you

[faint sable]

wpn_scope is never directly used animation wise, and it's also how athi did his tutorial

by making wpn_scope to lens

and creating a new hud_animation_3dss

think of it like this right

[sonic bolt]

Yeah I watched your guide and everything worked so far for the one patch I did, just gotta reposition

Is there like documentation somewhere that explains what these lines and others relating to 3DSS do?

[faint sable]

gun uses this hud animation :

pp_poo_poo_hud_animation

works for prs, 2d sights, 2d scopes.

gun needs 3dss support and has a wpn_scope bone :

pp_poo_poo_hud_animation_3dss (edit omf to change wpn_scope to lens, go into blender and rename the wpn_scope to lens)

now your gun can handle 3dss scopes on the specific _3dss omf you just made, while keeping support for the prs and 2d sights, and it doesn't break anything, been doing it like this for a whole year and no issue, if it was an issue athi wouldn't be doing the same thing to save time

yea that's about it

it's exactly how my guide shows it, that's all you need to do

only time you don't is when a bone is not currently available on the animations that isn't being used by the animation itself, then you create a new lens bone and do the lens thing stuff

[sonic bolt]

Do you have a link or something to this file you showed in the video?

[faint sable]

you can try this maybe

[sonic bolt]

[faint sable]

nvm it's too large

let me try this tho

[sonic bolt]

I assume all of these are PRS too?

[faint sable]

nah, I didn't update them for prs, which tbh I don't actually use scope kits

that have the rmr sights on it

[sonic bolt]

bummer, wonder if athi has em

[faint sable]

he does yea

you gotta look in the 3dss files

just gut the scopes and sights

[sonic bolt]

got it, that repository blend file would be nice to have

[faint sable]

it's not really updated tbh, I know athi made new models for some scopes

imo, best to just get all the sights/scopes you want, gut the gun, save the scopes and sights, save as blend

[sonic bolt]

got it, guess I'll just gut the scopes from the current 3dss?

[faint sable]

if you really want to yea

idk how many models have been updated or what athi changed

[sonic bolt]

hmm, thanks anyways

[lapis vortex]

how do i see the blender ogf with color as it would appear in game

[faint sable]

idk if blend files work that way or not but who knows

you gotta locate the texture path for it

and then find missing files within blender

paste the texture path

[sonic bolt]

Go to this then find the textures for the gun you wanna work on

Might have to do it twice, once for the gun textures and once for the optic reticles itself

[faint sable]

external data : find missing files, paste path to texture, hit enter, load viewport shading

[faint sable]

the one right beside it is the one

shows the actual texture color

[sonic bolt]

damnit you're right

[faint sable]

to add the bump texture you can use this script

to use it : hit Scripting tab, Open, select this plugin, hit run script, go back to Layout

[sonic bolt]

I did this once so I hope I can figure out to do it again

Is this also all that's needed for icon renders too 🤔

[faint sable]

usually always the bump texture is also where the actual texture is, so it just slaps it on top

yea, it makes it look prettier at least

[sonic bolt]

[faint sable]

just mess around with the metallic and roughness scales

I do 0.9 metallic, 0.65 roughness for each texture

but play around with what looks best, also whatever HDRI you use for the background also influences how the shadows and light reflects off the weapon

usually I use this

[sonic bolt]

Sweet, thanks a ton

[faint sable]

tbh I forgot how to actually add it and the steps, but theirs probably blender guides on youtube to help add them to the actual world stuff, juan showed me how but tbh I forgot most if not all of it

I got a saved blend

might work idk

i was finally able to put acog on with no crash, but i fucked up pathing i'm assuming

[fair canopy]

Probably left the texture path option checked in blender and it reset the paths

[lapis vortex]

it's not 3dss on it either

it's still 2d scopes

[fair canopy]

Did you setup the Config?

[lapis vortex]

probably wrong

i have some semblance of a config

[sonic bolt]

Maybe try copying a config from another acog, it took me a while to get my 1P29 to stop showing 2d scopes

[sonic bolt]

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message Speaking of configs, help?

[lapis vortex]

forgor to edit the item_visual line from the acog config i copied

[fair canopy]

Config explanation is in the gamma scopes ltx in 3dssg. Alternatively you can also get the 3dss hud editor and mess with the settings like you would hud positions

[lapis vortex]

this acog try is close i can feel it

[sonic bolt]

Bless you dude

[lapis vortex]

it's still blue

[undone spruce]

finally revolver ingame

[fair canopy]

Because item visual isn't going to fix the textures

That just sets the ogf to use

[sonic bolt]

you might have to boot up blender and save the OGF again

This is the correct one iirc

[summer stream]

ourgh

poor hand

but the revolver looks cool

[lapis vortex]

right now i'm focusing on getting the scope to work, then the texture. i want to erase that stupid merc mark anyway

[sonic bolt]

Maybe i should learn viewmodel anim in blender

[lapis vortex]

slap a loner mark on it just as Father Valerian intended

[fair canopy]

The Scope won't work without figuring out the texture paths because the reticle is a texture with a transparent background

[lapis vortex]

the reload animation is borked too, is that texture related as well?

the hands move as they should just the mag doesn't

[fair canopy]

No that's an animation thing. Either the mag vertex group isn't set correctly or the animation doesn't match the gun

[lapis vortex]

it's the same animation with scope off, adding the scope breaks everything

i'mma fix the textures, see if that fixes some of it

[fair canopy]

Textures and anims are two separate things...

[lapis vortex]

now it's missing from the debug menu

https://tenor.com/view/green-mile-im-tired-boss-michael-clarke-duncan-gif-2375696290766999196

[lapis vortex]

when I export it's not saving my changes

or "cannot find root- objects" error

[lapis vortex]

i've spent 5 hours trying to figure this shit out

still haven't got it

idk wtf is going on

this is what i have, i'm back at crashes when equiping the VSS Venal

idk if im fucking up the blender shit or the pathing shit

whoever made the BAS addon this is from has it squirreled away in fifty folders

any tips or whatever would be cool, but im going to sleep

[snow lantern]

was Shustriy modified in GAMMA?
tell me pws🙁

[lethal pelican]

does the "impair" variable of ammo actually do anything right now?

Hello mods

could you help my friend for a sec.

he got banned for no reason

ik its not the right chat

[misty mulch]

[undone spruce]

theres 2 3-round moonclips on the cylinder

[pine hatch]

Question for blender experts - how to repeat the previous action?
Conventionally, I need to set keyframes for each animation and I don’t want to call up the menu every time

https://media.discordapp.net/stickers/1294792898772209665.png?size=160&name=asssertion_failed

[fair canopy]

Add the action to your quick action menu

[pine hatch]

do you think I know what it is?
I literally downloaded a blender 3 weeks ago and tried to work in it for a couple of hours

[fair canopy]

Time to Google

A lot of stuff I learned was just asking Google if there was a way to do something

[pine hatch]

Well
I found... time to do... bullshit

[undone spruce]

In this case, autokeyframe

[glossy quiver]

Where in the mod files are item IDs defined/assigned?

[misty mulch]

in the section names for the item's config file, which is always a .ltx file.

not all items are defined by mod-added files so you may need to unpack Anomaly to read all configs

[fair canopy]

To key in one frame for one bone in an existing armature?

[undone spruce]

I dont kinda get what he wants

[undone spruce]

this is pretty much a 1911 condensed

[undone spruce]

dunno if its matching

[faint sable]

might need bit more like tone

seems bit softer than the other icons beside it

[undone spruce]

Ill redo the render a bit

[old berry]

aynone knows which command in the config handles the handling stat

and also reliability

[lapis vortex]

when it's done i totally want it

[undone spruce]

i dont wanna go back to gun after finishing, so i'll take tiem to polish it, but i should be done quickly after exams

but pratically, only thing missing now is sounds

[balmy quiver]

Yo! Are there any “western fonts” for Stalker Anomaly/Gamma?

[novel ruin]

Western fonts?

[balmy quiver]

To finalize my French mod, I need to swap two characters: “ê” and “ì”. I tried changing the coordinates via the font .ini files, but that didn't change anything. I then swapped the two characters in each DDS file, but that didn't work either. The “ì” is still in place of the “ê.” I've tried everything, but I can't get it to work.

I use the fonts found in “343- G.A.M.M.A. Traduccion Espanola - vdltman”. The original or English fonts display Russian characters instead of special characters.

How can I find out which characters are used in the game? On the title screen, there's no problem. The menu, the MCM, the small text under the menu... but in the game, it doesn't work anymore.

[balmy quiver]

No problem on title screen

[golden magnet]

anybody know how to change the ammunition the gun uses?

[verbal siren]

Edit the config files, for example w_ak74.ltx
Better do this via DLTX, though. There's a guide in pinned messages.

[golden magnet]

aight ty for replying

[balmy quiver]

fixed! Is it possible to increase the default font size?

[verbal siren]

By using a larger DDS sheet, I think. There are fonts for higher resolutions in the mod list.

[balmy quiver]

Yes but, only for english or russian :\

[verbal siren]

Make a french version.

[balmy quiver]

I can't do it. I've tried everything. #╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

[balmy quiver]

I’ve tried everything. I’ve swapped the characters around in all (38!!) the DDS files, I’ve changed the position coordinates in all the .ini files, I’ve tried every possible alternative character... ê still won’t appear. I’m stuck because of a single character. Is it possible to increase the default font size?

[clever kindle]

hi, i want to enable g_firepos, but every time i do this it turns off automatically. Is there a way to permanently keep it on or something?

[hot salmon]

Try disabling Weapon Cover Tilt

[hoary yacht]

Can anyone show me path to wpn_ks23_kaban_kab_up.txl? I want to put it in pistol slot, but can't fint txl file

[pine hatch]

all this is in the weapon configuration, or as lemon said - you can make DLTX conditionally

ammo_class = (enter caliber)```

as an option to add
``` shell_particles = weapons\(calbeir particle)```
to change shells particles

[summer stream]

calbeir

[pine hatch]

[verbal siren]

What's the difference between scripted_snd_ammo_check and snd_ammo_check? Some weapon mods use the first one, others use the latter. I'm swapping between two versions of the ammo check script and one seems to play only the snd_ while the other only the scripted_snd_. Also, just now, I noticed this: when I place my edited Mosin reanimation mod above @fair inlet 's WSTF (it has different sounds for the k98 bolt, which the mosin is using), I can't hear anything. When I place it below WSTF (so the mosin sounds overwrite WSTF) I can hear the bolt. 🤔

[fair inlet]

iirc scripted_ sounds are played by aoldri universal scripts, whereas regular snd_ammo_check is played by some versions of ammo check script

[verbal siren]

So for maximum compatibility it's best to have both in the config?

[fair inlet]

that might cause duplicate playback, needs testing

[fair canopy]

Latest ammo check didn't need scripted sound or anim

And it will cause sound delays

[verbal siren]

The scripted_ will? I was trying out your MCX 3dss mod and it has only non-scripted ammo check sounds. It plays correctly, but after the animation is finished I can hear other sounds, like a full reload or sth.

[late ravine]

Good day guys, i have a question, we are working with lassie in the bolt animation from stalker 2, but, for some reason, the bolt doests appear in game when you throw the bolt, meaning the object that you can pick up again, anyone have any idea what it can be?

[summer stream]

Motion Marks.

[late ravine]

whats that?

[summer stream]

Go into omf editor, find the frame where character throws bolt and put motion mark there.

From there, to the end, or 5 frames later.

[late ravine]

Nice, thanks a lot for the info Maka!!!💯 ✨

[summer stream]

found it via retargeting karambit

no probs

[late ravine]

Lassie is asking me if you are refering to the "lead_gun" bone

[summer stream]

can't they dm me directly?

so i can explain it more proper

and im talking about the animation itself

[late ravine]

yhea give me a min i will tell her to talk to you

thanks for your time mate

[balmy quiver]

Can't anyone help me with my font problem? I just need to swap a single character. I've been working on this mod for a month and I can't publish it because of this detail. It's frustrating. 😔

[novel ruin]

ask in anomaly discord, they will know more stuff than here in your case

[summer stream]

truth

[balmy quiver]

I hadn't thought of that! 👍

[fair canopy]

Why not just edit the texture sheet?

[balmy quiver]

I tried changing the coordinates via the font .ini files, but that didn't change anything. I then swapped the two characters in each DDS file, but that didn't work either.

[tropic horizon]

is there way to change morphine back to 1200 seconds

can someone help me understand how missions are made in Stalker? i mean i would like to understand how to make "new" quest, even a very simple one. Is it one file, is it whole branhc of files etc.

[novel ruin]

Look at the code for task ig

Ask in Anomaly discord, nltp_ashes will probably help you there, he made tasks in anomaly before

Hey, while ago I made animated portraits of women for those who want to play as such. I’m doing the same for men but due to finances I’m limiting it to 5 universal depictions.

I asked Grok if he’d be able to put out a poll of sorts to get public opinion but he must have been busy or missed the request. I wanted to put out something well received so would need opinions.

Any way I can get pictures of preferred portraits to redesign and have animated? Generally well received ones mainly out of the portrait list in gamma or other portrait mods. It can also be outside of that. Just need ideas more than a few would like to see as an option to have on their save or when making a new game. Here’s one in development so far before I thought this would be a good approach.

[elfin adder]

Hi Rebzi, where is the file with which I can change the photo of my beloved woman
And the file with the pictures (I also want to change)

[stray trail]

Thx man

[white warren]

can i speed up the speed of a sound in an ltx same as an animation? like reload speed for example, so they match. tried both at 1.1, animation speeds up but sound does not

[fair inlet]

nope
which gun? I might have source project

[white warren]

FB's glock anims, put them on the walther pdp

used his sounds

[fair inlet]

glock19_new or glock_new anims?

[white warren]

glock_new

[fair inlet]

I can speed up those, meowie does that too sometimes

[white warren]

in audacity? i thought about doing that but i havent messed with sounds before

[fair inlet]

yes
I'm saying I can do it myself

[white warren]

that would be cool if you dont mind. i was thinking increasing the speed like 15% for the regular reload and empty, maybe ammo check too

[fair inlet]

ok I'll dm you in a bit

[white warren]

thx

[jolly rapids]

@dreamy spindle, @steady apex, hey guys, can someone of you help me?
I want to collect small piece of info about GAMMA memory consumption, but it requires engine edits (to add additional output) and I don't even have GAMMA itself.

[fair canopy]

[sick coral]

im trying to do a simple task, just for fun, using the help of chat GPT. Can someone please tell me how to insert new dialouge option for Wolf to get the quest im working on? I think i need to find appropiate [dlg_branch] for Wolf Character, but i am not sure how to do it

[dreamy spindle]

you ask GPT how to do it

[summer stream]

you don't

GPT doesn't know anything about stalker anomaly modding

[dreamy spindle]

(that's the joke)

[summer stream]

[dreamy spindle]

what kind of extra info are you after?

[jolly rapids]

stat_memory console command gives the amount of memory consumed by shared_str strings in kilobytes, but it's not telling the exact number of strings.
I need to know how much strings are in use in a heavily modded modpack.

[sick coral]

yee, i want to use only for writting etc, but i need to create simple mod (take quest from wolf, objective is to go to the railroad bridge) to check how this stuff is working in anomaly

[summer stream]

you can check it how that works via looking in other mission packs

like iTheon one

[sick coral]

yee, but most of them are pretty complicated to start the reverse engeenering, i would need something really simple at start 😄

[summer stream]

simple stuff is the xml

you can make the XML first

after that look into HOW that is being inserted inside the game

[sick coral]

are there any tutorials or other sources to try to understand it all better>

[summer stream]

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

[sick coral]

thanks 😉

[steady apex]

that stat would be useful for modded exes in general

[dreamy spindle]

i'm patching it in now, will put up a PR once done

i'll throw up a binary here so someone can check it with gamma - don't have it installed myself atm

[jolly rapids]

Any assistance needed?

[summer stream]

[jolly rapids]

You basically need to do ++total_number_of_strings; in the stat_economy function of str_container_impl class and output it.

[dreamy spindle]

should be all good - already drilled down into that function by threading a count ref through parameters

which also shook loose a near-identical use site in the out-of-memory handler, so I'll standardise that printout too

[jolly rapids]

I wonder what would be the number.
If it's 10'000 or even less, I would be really happy

[dreamy spindle]

alas 🥹

that's on my vanilla-modded-exes modmaking preset

[jolly rapids]

Oow shiet

[dreamy spindle]

sec while i do some last double-checks, and i'll upload binaries for gamma testing

[jolly rapids]

The shared strings container can have 262144 strings at max.

Look at this screenshot: #☢чат-сталкеров-ru-ua message

You can see that the memory consumption is almost 400000 KBs

[dreamy spindle]

here we go:

[dreamy spindle]

oh

another hard limit worry on top of ye olde object IDs

[jolly rapids]

Well, it's easy to increase, just tweak the buffer_size. No worries here.

[dreamy spindle]

ah, not so bad then

what are you looking into it for anyhow?

[sonic bolt]

Is it possible to add bloom or a glow effect to a mesh on a player? I want to add glowing eyes to a character model

[dreamy spindle]

probably with script attachments; create one for each eye with some basic sphere mesh, attach to the actor's eye bones, reposition to make them line up, and apply a glowy shader like the one on pseudodogs' eyes

maybe you could swap the eye shader on the player directly, but you'd have to dig into the lua_help / lua_help_ex scripts and modding book to figure out whether there's an API for that

[tacit surge]

Depends on the models, i can help u. Dm me

[verbal siren]

Does anyone know how do you go to previous or default settings after using cfg_load?

[steady apex]

change implementation to unordered map 👌

btw how does this prone to hash collisions?

[jolly rapids]

shared_str holds a pointer to str_value instance.
That weights 8 bytes on 64-bit platform. I'd like to reduce memory consumption by replacing a pointer with just u32 index.

I wanted to find out if it is possible to reduce memory usage even more and use u16 instead of u32, but that's totally not possible because u16 can provide IDs up to only 65535.

By "memory consumption" I refer to all classes in the engine that hold one or more shared_str members.

[jolly rapids]

It's is a very targeted optimization and I'm not sure if it will have much effect, though. But it can give additional results together with other refactorings of classes in future.

[jolly rapids]

399386 KB is 390,03 megabytes. Just for strings!
(for strings themselves, not the shared_str implementation details)

[dreamy spindle]

if i had to guess, cases where value->dwCRC > buffer_size, worsening each time it wraps around, if that occurs

though i don't know much about the string backend, so what looks like a "scribble over data instead of admitting we have no memory" hack from my standpoint could be entirely sound in context of the wider design

[sick coral]

i belive GAMMA is constructed whole lot differently? cause im following the tutorial, and i want to find the ID of a specyfic NPC, but there is no "gameplay" folder in my anomaly/configs

[steady apex]

well we can just remove the cache alltogether and just give a brand new string every time

[dreamy spindle]

interesting, sounds like a noble endeavour

[dreamy spindle]

egor on the anomaly discord was blue-skying about trying to reduce the amount of string representations and focus on std::string at one point

[summer stream]

no

[jolly rapids]

Sounds like a huge refactoring, because some parts of the code rely on shared_str.

[summer stream]

@sick coral just unpack it and look into files

[dreamy spindle]

i do wonder how much redundancy the xr_ wrappers have versus stdlib equivalents; arguably it's nice to have a standardized interface, any crufty implementation details within aside

[summer stream]

[steady apex]

the xr_unordered_map for example uses robin hood implementation i added

and xr_unordered_set as well

[summer stream]

because you didnt unpack it @sick coral

[steady apex]

good thing it is toggleable with a define so it can use std variant rather than changing every piece of code

[summer stream]

do db_unpacker_all to look into it

[sick coral]

thanks, i was blind 😄

[summer stream]

huh that's the hammer being cocked down

interesting

i wonder how that would look like in game

[modest sequoia]

gamma doesn't need all these .thm files in texture folders does it?

that's just carry over from the mod makers system?

[summer stream]

they need the thm for it to work properly

textures use thm so it can look better

[modest sequoia]

ok. in my head i was making em to be some form of thumbnail file....

thm.. thanks for response i will not delete them 🙂

[summer stream]

the ui textures doesnt need them

other are required

[modest sequoia]

i'm cleaning up blood textures.

[summer stream]

ah

dont touch em

thm should be there

[prime night]

So, I figured out a temporary fix for the PDA black screen bug. I took the batteries out of it, saved the game and exited to windows. Then I went into MO2 and disabled 3 mods. High Res PDA Maps, Minimap Toggle, and PDA Taskboard. Don't know which one exactly it was that was causing the issue, but I disabled all three of them at the same time, loaded my game back up, put the batteries in my PDA and it worked just fine. After it worked, I reenabled all 3, 1 by 1 and its still working so I dont know. Don't know where I should post this, in case somebody see's it and finds a way to fix it permanently.

[dapper copper]

How difficult is it to change crafting recipes?

[steady apex]

using xr_unordered_set for shared strings

{
    count = buffer.size();
    u32 size = 0;
    for (const auto& s : buffer)
    {
        size += sizeof(str_value) + s.value.length();
    }
    return size;
}``` idk if i count the size correctly

str_value is ref count + xr_string struct

[steady apex]

with erasing from string storage if reference count is 0

each console call the number gets lower lol

[dreamy spindle]

should be correct, assuming buffer.size() represents the amount of allocated strings rather than some preallocated count that jumps upward once a threshold is reached and is subject to reuse etc

[steady apex]

yes size is the amount of strings

[dreamy spindle]

so long as s doesn't enumerate any empty strings, it should be accurate

[steady apex]

if there is an empty string in set, it should be one and only

otherwise its not a set

[dreamy spindle]

nice, looks like a solid win for memory cleanup then

[sick coral]

can noob modding questiosn be added here, or is it chat for profesionals ? 😄

[novel ruin]

both, pro and noob

[sick coral]

so im basically trying to learn some simple modding, using Anomaly Modding Book. I wanted to start with simplest thing - adding new dialouge option for NPC (Sid). Where i am getting lost, is how to create an XML that is only adding new dialouge option on top of the existing ones, without need to copy all original Sid XML.

that is the file tree i created, but i have no idea what i need to put in "character_desc_gamma_sid.xml" to not make it overrithe whole original file, just add a new dialouge option. Mabe im not understanding something simple, idk 🙁

[grizzled gorge]

Here is a quick example that adds a dialog with options for Sid. I’ve left comments in the scripts. Also, check the DXML documentation in the Anomaly modding book.
https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/tutorials/addons/dxml.html

[balmy quiver]

There is no "modding" category on Anomaly's Discord (other than support for existing mods).

[late temple]

Can I increase stats of outfits by editing files?

[edgy trout]

Yes you can

I give you permission to edit the files

[late temple]

Ok

But how?

[edgy trout]

First, you have to locate the files. Maybe in gamedata/configs/items/outfits

If you can’t find them, they might be packed in db files. There is a tool in the tools folder to unpack all files

Remember to check in mo2 before tho

[late temple]

In GAMMA folder or in Anomaly?

[novel ruin]

[lunar rover]

Trying to learn to make my own transitions by looking at this. Can anyone explain what the lines "story id" and "hint" mean in a little bit more detail? . I assume story id is just a custom name for the transition? and I think maybe hint is what deals with the mouse hover description on pda map? not sure what xml file hint refers to. Just not entirely sure what those two lines require just by looking at them.

[steady apex]

for story_id - yes
for hint, the hint id is in xml files in configs/text/eng(rus), basically a translation string. for example

i said "xml files" because the hints might be in different files in those folders. you can make your own xml file in that folder and add string node like in image

[lunar rover]

help from the man himself . That image and last comment answered my questions. Thank you mr demon

[crimson salmon]

isnt that tunnel collapsed??

you woudlnt be able to go anywhere unless freedom digs a hole wich you could go somewhere using

[quartz hill]

isn't the limansk > red forest tunnel also blocked off at the end

[lunar rover]

the trader sells shovel but i'd also be willing to accept a 20 part tutorial series on how to edit maps to un collapse the tunnel

[crimson salmon]

it shouldnt be, otherwise how would the factions get to limansk using the tunnel in clear sky

[quartz hill]

wait let me check 😔

[crimson salmon]

it is probably blocked off in game but thats to probably block sunlight from coming in at the end of the tunnel

before u even get far enough the transition stops you

so it looks seamless

[quartz hill]

it is lol

[crimson salmon]

it doesnt make sense then

how would you and clear sky get to limansk then

[quartz hill]

doesn't have to make sense ig

[summer stream]

"i don't care if it doesnt make sense, i want it "

[fair canopy]

[bronze apex]

and so is the dark scape - cordon transition but nobody knows or cares about that one

[quartz hill]

wtf is darkscape never heard of it

[lapis vortex]

what file is responsible for the armor trades?

I want to add more trades, so I can trade an Ibaz for a Loner Ibaz

[bronze apex]

there's a mod called Grok's and Darkasleif's Armor Exchange, I'd check that and see but I'm on my phone so you check that and see instead

[lapis vortex]

thanks i'll see if I can make an edit

[tardy flicker]

Anyone know how to change a stash name/icon in inventory menu dynamically?
set_character_name doesn't seem to work 🙁

[novel ruin]

change it through script you mean?

[tardy flicker]

Yeah. I've faked mutant pet inventory & I need to update the name/icon with the pet's name/icon

[novel ruin]

i dont think you can afaik, you can only add more stuff on top of it

[tardy flicker]

oh damn 🙁 well it's no big deal but I imagine someone will inevitably complain about it being the generic stash ui lol

[novel ruin]

ask in anomaly server , modding-code channel spefically

[quartz hill]

there's some stuff in lua_help under "level" namespace for mapspots, would those work?

[tardy flicker]

I think that's just for pda/minimap icon unfortunately, I'm looking for the trade window icon that shows character portrait

[quartz hill]

oh mb i misunderstood lmao

or well misread

[novel ruin]

always

lua_help is for looking for lua api stuff

[quartz hill]

i meant for what they wanted to do

[novel ruin]

oh

[tardy flicker]

lol all good, I'll check the anomaly discord mod channel & see if I can find anything. Just hope it doesn't come down to making a whole new UI window like Anom Stash did

[wary lion]

Hey, how can i modify a trader file?

Like make them more rich in suplies

[lethal pelican]

anyone know why my ammo recoil multipliers seem to be applying incredibly inconsistently? I'm testing something by giving an ammo something stupid like 500% recoil, this only seems to apply in game very rarely.

there was a point when I tested it a few days ago where it was applying consistently

[lethal pelican]

hmmmm somehow it only works with unlimited ammo on, otherwise it just stops working when I reload...

how strange

[flint fern]

I am interested in how MO2 works, and how it applies command variables to Anomaly. I understand it goes down the list of mods in order. I understand the overwrite. I am trying to see if there is a log file or something that MO2 creates that has a list of every command variable applied at launch of Anomaly with gamma.

[novel ruin]

It doesnt apply any command, the scripts does, not mo2

Also it cant run script, related to the game

If you want to see the log for every cmd, you will need to write a Lua script for Anomaly, not mo2

[flint fern]

That would make a lot more sense. I've got a lot of strange spare time coming up, and that could be a fun project.

[novel ruin]

I mean you can just check the varible in the console

And there is no log afaik, to see what it changes, when it changes to the cmd

You can monkey parch the game’s script for executing Anomaly cmd to create a log for it

Igtg now, if you need help with stuff, i can do later, just ask

[flint fern]

Thanks for the info. I am obtuse about this engine and it's scripting. I've had great luck in the long-time-ago with GldSrc and Source w/python. The learning curve is there, but I'll get something figured out and I'll get back to you.

[lethal pelican]

is the k_cam_dispersion ammo stat used at all? it doesn't seem to apply

[sick coral]

so i reverse engineered ( XD ) a simple mod that adds dialouge option for a NPC to have a conversation with him, and now i think i can do that. Is there any really simple task mod for anomaly, so i can try to understand the logic there, and make my own example? I tried with iTheon tasks, but most of them are really complicated for a beggining.

[novel ruin]

I would say best place to start is reading the Anomaly modding books, especially the scripting part.
If you want to find some code for stuff, search in the lua_help and lua_help_ex(in the modded exe), if stuck, look for mod that did something similiar to you and reverse engineer it

[late temple]

Can I upload here cheat mods? I have made two - one adding money and second one adding goodwill

[misty mulch]

Because gamma recoil system is not the vanilla one, so I would absolutely expect weird broken things to happen if you give an ammo a huge recoil multiplier

[misty mulch]

This is not the place for uploading mods

And you can do both those things with debug menu already

[jolly rapids]

I find myself really passionate about optimizing class memory layouts. Reducing sizes of classes in other words.

[modest sequoia]

are bullets an actual object that i can do things to? could i do interesting things like make them act as a light source?

[lethal pelican]

hmm even the default gamma ammo recoil doesn't seem to be working properly though. I tested some ammo with one of the highest k_cam_dispersion values of 1.5 (150% recoil from what I understand), the moment I reload my weapon, the recoil very obviously drops to what I assume would be a 100% value, or k_cam_dispersion of 1.0

and even on ammo that has a lower recoil multiplier (0.8, or 80%), the recoil increases after I reload

is it intentional that ammo recoil multipliers are ignored?

[round ice]

Is it possible to remove the PSY bar and fire mode in the bottom left without disabling the HUD in settings? My goal is interaction dots with no HUD since item names are gone. If I turn the HUD off in settings it turns off interaction dots as well.

[hot salmon]

well you can change XML file and put this bar at x 9999 and y 9999

[jolly rapids]

No

[modest sequoia]

you quashed my dream but now at least i dont have to bother dreaming about it 🙂

are tracers a particle effect? maybe make them glow

[jolly rapids]

Not even particles. Tracers have their own shader, though.
So it might be possible to make them glow, but I'm not sure if it's possible to make them affect other objects.

[modest sequoia]

k. maybe ill just mod guns to shoot light bulbs 😆

in stalker 2 i made shot guns shoot rpgs.. so that's an angle too

[lilac ibex]

spawn light source at tracer position

[sonic bolt]

!HUD / have you tried this?

[queen pine]

@round ice
Can't see the HUD anymore (ammo counter, PSY bar, mini-map and interaction dot marks are missing)?

• Press Numpad Enter if you can't see it at all.
• If you have a TKL keyboard without Numpad - go to Settings > Video > UI/HUD, turn on HUD: show
• Or press H if you can see something but not everything.

Only the mini-map is missing?

• Press /

Missing health system (BHS) interface?

• Press H

Can't see weapons or devices when you equip them?

• Go to Settings > Visual > UI/HUD, turn on Show Weapon

[sonic bolt]

You can hide everything with H and /

[misty mulch]

gamma doesn't use that system, it uses the enhanced recoil system which acts differently which is why all the k_cam_dispersion values don't do what you expect

and incidentally why weapon recoil upgrades are so weird.

[dreamy spindle]

that reminds me of when i was writing rust stuff - there was a certain uncompromising zen about refining a design to immaculacy using good syslang tools. though achieving that with C++ is a whole other level

[celest thorn]

Is there a tutorial on how to extract an animation from EFT and prep it for X-ray?

[jolly rapids]

Oh, and then move it as tracer moves. Clever workaround!

[lilac ibex]

you can also draw traces to offscreen RT, and do cheap ssgi

pros:

• supports infinite amount of 'lights'
• fixed cost

cons:
?

[steady apex]

with scripts, with bullet_on_init callback you can create a script_light source and with bullet_on_update callback you can move it

[crimson salmon]

ight ill look into that

[celest forge]

b2i should be way quicker

[crimson salmon]

im working on that last

[lunar rover]

out of curiosity how do people edit/create new weathers? is most of the work done from using the weather/lighting tabs in debug menu?

[undone spruce]

i wouldnt say quicker, but surely bouncier

[celest forge]

It's way too long imo

[crimson salmon]

it is

im just trying to get better at animation just because its allways been my thing

[wide bobcat]

Okay I am confused, I edited the w_svt40 and w_svd_m1 to be rifle_5 instead of rifle_7 because they are just too crappy to be D-tier but they refuse to change. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

[summer stream]

other file re-writes that

[wide bobcat]

you know which files does it? I checked for conflicts

[summer stream]

do it forcefully via
![w_svt40]
string here
![w_svd_m1]
string here

[summer stream]

just do another file

as ltx

like
mod_system_tier_svd.ltx and write it down there

[wide bobcat]

Gotcha

[summer stream]

put it inside configs

and last in priority

(as another mod)

[wide bobcat]

so how would I write the config file itself? Like to notify the game? just repair type and something else on top of that?

[summer stream]

lemme

look into my own gamma for that

[wide bobcat]

Sounds good

[summer stream]

so it would be more understandable

so basically inside of your mod there should be gamedata\configs

down there your config, named 'mod_system_anythinghere.ltx'

inside of it you change the repair type to anything

to make it WORK properly

you need to add ! in the section

the example is being shown here

![wpn_knife_hud]
forces it to use animations that it wrote down

same goes to ![wpn_knife]

it forcefully rewrites those sections

[wide bobcat]

So everything starting with [ must have an exclaimation?

[summer stream]

no

[wide bobcat]

Gotcha

[summer stream]

if you make a NEW thing

that's not included

it shouldn't have one

[wide bobcat]

So I'm copying the original file and renaming it to the mod_system file. The only issue is I don't know what to include or exclude as I all want to edit is the repair type itself.

Do I just remove all the other pieces of code and keep the repair_type? I'm a bit lost

[summer stream]

yea just keep the repair_type

it will rewrite only that section

[wide bobcat]

Gotcha

Worked like a charm

Now the base SVD is actually an excusable weapon to choose and acquire

Appreciate it

[wide bobcat]

OH also one last thing, how do you edit the length of a gun before it collides with the wall in first person?

Viewmodel bump I mean

[summer stream]

that's other thing that i never got into

[wide bobcat]

alr

[simple scaffold]

Its a space restrictor. when the player triggers it you change the players location. db.actor:set_actor_position(pos) unless you are sending them to another map. there is difernt code for that. find a mod that adds level transitions for that.

[rough lion]

The issue is I don't understand how to make the custom teleport put me to a specific coordinate to another map like in "coords_to_bubble.ltx"

[misty mulch]

please double check the dltx syntax guide in the anomaly modding book https://igigog.github.io/anomaly-modding-book/tutorials/addons/dltx.html#4-syntax

[wide bobcat]

It worked out, but since you are here. Do you know what parameter causes the "length" of a gun to be determined when it comes to interacting with walls in first person?

I found a good pistol addon but it impacts with the wall too far away like its a rifle

So it makes it effectively useless at its sole purpose

[misty mulch]

probably check weapon cover tilt mod and how it works

[fair inlet]

fire_point offset

[wide bobcat]

Thank you great Oleh

[fair inlet]

you can enable visualization in WCT MCM so it's easier to edit fire point

[celest thorn]

I need to access a local variable from another script in my script and as this variable has a rather complex calculation behind it I wanted to try the unlocalize feature described in the attached link. I've created the ltx in this folder: EftHealthWeaponSwayCompatPatch/gamedata/configs/unlocalizers/weapon_sway_unlocalizer.ltx with the followind content:

[zzzz_weapon_sway]
breath_held_for

But I still can't seem to access this variable in my script. Do I have to do something special in my script to access it? I tried it it _G.breath_held_for and with breath_held_for.

[near nacelle]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1404184351704481983

[misty mulch]

is there a question attached or is this a weird attempt at advertising

[fair inlet]

is this variable defined inside a function perhaps?

[near nacelle]

an attempt to share the result of my creativity

[summer stream]

[sonic bolt]

If it's advertising It's working

[celest thorn]

Nope, I might have just found the problem, I need to access it with zzzz_weapon_sway.breath_held_for it seems like. Will need to properly test this though.

Didn't know that the unlocalizer is putting the global vars back into the same script, so the script name is required for accessing it

[jolly veldt]

Please tell me where I can find a mod so that I can talk to every NPC on the vanilla anomaly?

[languid forum]

hey guys, does anyone know if i can change the variable for receiving a yellow stash by completing 8 tasks to getting 8 stash locations
i want to do a no trader no quests challenge run and it would be impossible with normal settings to get yellow stashes

like normally you get a chance for a yellow stash for completing 8 tasks but i want to change it to where its getting 8 stash locations instead

[misty mulch]

if you rewrite the scripts for stash generation, yeah

should be doable

[misty mulch]

now i am not a particularly competent Lua coder, but I think you want to start investigating from line 496 in treasure_manager.script (winning copy from GAMMA Rare Stashes Balance)

i wouldn't be able to tell you how to change it but i can tell you, you wanna start looking at that

[lethal pelican]

Am I allowed to modify GAMMA assets for a mod? I'm trying to make some new pistol calibre ammo, managed to edit the new ammo wheel UI from slugler/andtheherois

[celest forge]

Ask those modders

GAMMA exclusive assets are veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery few

So just ask the modders that actually made the assets you wanna use

[languid forum]

thanks for the tip, i think i found the variable for completing 8 tasks, i just hope there is a variable for the amount of stashes one has received somewhere, then i think i just need to swap those right?

[languid forum]

this seems to be too advanced for me, if anyone could come up with a simple solution i would much appreciate it

i dont have any experience in coding, i can barely understand whats going on but i cant rewrite code

[lethal pelican]

@fair canopy hey I made an edit of your ammo wheel UI for some extra ammo I'm making. Is it cool if I use it? If not, ill just use the vanilla wheel (and keep the edit for personal use)

[fair canopy]

Go ahead

[modest sequoia]

so those are the live weapon ltx files that are being used?

[misty mulch]

kind of, BUT, again, direct editing them is highly unlikely to work

[misty mulch]

start from the beginning: tell us what you are trying to do, what is the specific edit you are trying to make

[modest sequoia]

im editing muzzle flashes

im gonna make a dltx

but i need to know where to pull info from

[misty mulch]

editing muzzle flashes to do what?

[modest sequoia]

be brighter

it's an easy edit.. jusst lots of guns

[misty mulch]

ok, have you read my DLTX guide/the DLTX section of the modding book?

[modest sequoia]

yeah i know how to do dltx. i've made several for myself

[misty mulch]

ok then yeah you dltx all of those guns

now since the root of all of them is system you can hypothetically do it in one single enormous file

[modest sequoia]

yep.

thanks for info on searching - i did nnot know the right side panel operated the way it did in mo2

ive been using Everything search :/

[misty mulch]

to be clear:

• all weapon configs that fall in the pattern w_*.ltx have system as their root
• the weapon configs that don't fall in this pattern are largely only for sound related config changes
• a couple of the gun modders are insane and make mod_system_*.ltx their config file
• so you just need to make sure your dltx file overwrites all the other potential mod_system_*.ltx files, which unfortunately almost certainly means a stupid amount of z-stacking

[modest sequoia]

z-stacking?

[misty mulch]

i would recommend a mix of find-in-file searches (use whatever tool you like, I personally use notepad++) coupled with MO2 file searching to figure out which version of a file provides the winning copy

[misty mulch]

a (stupid dumb) practice to fix file conflicts, see https://github.com/veerserif/gamma-dashboard/blob/main/dltx_guide.md#solving-dltx-conflicts for my full writeup

[modest sequoia]

ok

oh THAT z stacking lol gotcha zzzzzlasteditipromis.dltx 🙂

[misty mulch]

as in - run find-in-file for section names, figure out the name of the file that contains that section, search the name of the file in MO2, that lets you figure out which mod provides the winning copy

[sonic bolt]

Is there any way to avoid z stacking? Cuz it seems like a necessity

[misty mulch]

it's one of those prisoner's dilemma things

where doing what's best for you, leads to stupid things happening in the entire ecosystem

z-stacking is what you do when you are unsure if some mod out there, might override the changes you make

[sonic bolt]

But what if you know for sure what mod is overwriting your change?

[misty mulch]

alternatively

[celest forge]

mod_system_zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzznotreallyno

[misty mulch]

then best, responsible thing to do is to rename your mod file so it beats theirs. e.g. why i did this for Tougher Gun Repair, this was the minimal number of z (because T comes after R)

also why in my xml overrides text mod i am using v_ stacking. one, my username starts with v. two, it lets someone else override me with z in the future

[sonic bolt]

Having A doesn't help my case then

[misty mulch]

really any letter that lets someone else potentially overwrite would have been better. x-stacking

[nimble gate]

Hey dont know if this is right place to ask, but doesn anyone know where i can find the item id's for the crafting recipes? I want to add them to loot pool for a "trashman run" with no trader interactions

[grizzled gorge]

You'll most likely find everything in these files. If you feel something is missing you can also check the item spawner menu via debug.

[nimble gate]

Thanks ive been doom scrolling the mods section trying to find the crafting recipes, Ill start there and start looking for the backpacks and nvgs haha

[misty mulch]

craft is just for the crafting recipe configs

you'd need a find in file to get the actual section names, aka item IDs

one second

[grizzled gorge]

in trade preset?

[misty mulch]

what? no, craft.ltx = "the file that includes crafting recipes but not necessarily the names of all the crafting recipe item IDs", I think OP wants to include the recipe books into NPC drop pools

technically you could look at the recipe requirements in the crafting recipes to get the item IDs, i guess

[nimble gate]

Yes the recipe books haha

thats the thing im looking for

[grizzled gorge]

ah my bad then I thought the ingredients

[modest sequoia]

can you have local variables inside a config file - so a large set of numbers is more easily changed?

that sure would be swell

[misty mulch]

afaik no, it is as ass as it sounds

[modest sequoia]

lol figured 🙂

so do it in excel and export. done and done

[misty mulch]

; "basic" crafting recipes
recipe_basic_1
recipe_advanced_1
recipe_expert_1
; electronics recipes
recipe_basic_2
recipe_advanced_2
recipe_expert_2
; upgrade kit recipes
recipe_basic_3
recipe_advanced_3
recipe_expert_3
; artefact recipes
recipe_basic_4
recipe_advanced_4
recipe_expert_4
; exo repair kit
recipe_ammo_4

i think that should be all of them

since gamma doesn't use ammo or drug recipes

[sonic bolt]

Uhhh am I doing this right? Trying to add a PGO sight to an IWP RPG Reanimation

[nimble gate]

You are a-freacking-mazing

[quartz hill]

you are creating the second two sections right? you don't need an exclamation mark in that case

[sonic bolt]

Oh fugg right

[nimble gate]

Now to add it to the tier lists, and then add that to the stash pool

[sonic bolt]

The scope doesn't show up on RPG details tho

Maybe I'll ask the 3dss folks if they pop up

the ltx stuff is arguably the hardest part of a 3dss patch ngl

[misty mulch]

(in fairness... i did double check that list against craft.ltx lmao)

[misty mulch]

for the record, since recipe_ammo_4 and recipe_expert_4 only drop from stalkers already, you can read death_items.ltx to get a sense of the kind of edit you might want to do

[quartz hill]

what mod are you trying to use btw

this one?
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/iwp-rpg

[nimble gate]

Dont think imma add them to stalker pool, thinking of putting them in stashes in similar way toolkits and such are found, already changed rare stashes to spawn from random found stashes isntead of just mission drops

[sonic bolt]

Yeah that one, I got the RPG to spawn with a hud back then but for some reason I crash when I spawn the gun in now

I'm not torn losing the scope but I wanna practice adding 3DSS more

[quartz hill]

there looks to be already a dltx for 3dss for the rpg in gamma, that might be conflicting?

[sonic bolt]

I overwrote that by using the same name, might try looking more into it later

I gotta kitbash more for AIDS

[nimble gate]

so if im adding the crafting recipe books to the stash pool, im gonna need to add a new section here? or could I be lazy and slam them in like i_misc

[misty mulch]

i_misc is commented out, i'd pick one of i_device, i_repair, maybe even i_kit (though obviously that dilutes your pool for other toolkits), also iirc this applies mainly to white stashes

oh wait no this applies to all stash tiers, the tiering is just different for white/yellow stashes

and yellow stash tool stuff has its own bespoke whatever

any line that begins with ; is commented out and won't be included

[nimble gate]

Ahhh thanks haha I've been testing and couldn't tell if it wasn't working or I was just being unlucky

[nimble gate]

Welp, still no dice, might have to go stalker loot list way

[modest sequoia]

dude.. works like a champ. just change a few numbers in excel and copy and paste whenever i need to tweak 😉

incoming strobe light fights at night

[misty mulch]

very nice

[vapid bane]

Is it possible to change npc health

Or make it so I do more damage to npcs

[nimble gate]

In the gameplay settings you can adjust the damage per shot multiplier

[rotund anchor]

how would one go about figuring out what %s is used for in a string in an xml file in configs/text?

[celest forge]

That does nothing in GAMMA

[nimble gate]

Really? I always thought it did haha guess it's the "false confidence" it gives makes you feel like it does

[gusty ember]

Theres a mod that i knew for a gamma that readded the containers with the original function they had. but i dont know the name of said mod does anybody here possibly know the name of the mod im talking about?

[regal bolt]

A gamma consultation uses the repositioning of the EFP or PPP weapon.

Since a mod is being developed that allows you to check the magazine of all weapons, similar to Escape from Tarkov.

[wraith willow]

Would it also be possible to code in a "weapon wheel" seperate from the item wheel? I play on steam dexk and this would be a game changer for controls if I can action set a weapon wheel mode over inventory when not in combat mode on my sets.

It would free up a lot of buttons for other real estate

Having the slow down function similar to item wheel would be amazing

[quartz hill]

quick action wheel can do all of that

[eternal frost]

hello guys, maybe someone know how to make 3DSS scope appear bigger (scope FOV) on the screen like on the second pic?
Can't find corresponding setting in the game and in the mods configs too

[celest forge]

Then how did you change it to make it look like the second pic

[eternal frost]

i bugged it out dragging HUD FOV while in scope

if i scope in and out it reverts to normal, so doesnt count as workaround

[sonic bolt]

Maybe try using the draggable HUD editor?

[eternal frost]

how?

if you mentioned this, doesnt work

[sonic bolt]

Are you looking to increase the zoom or just make it closer to your face?

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/draggable-hud-editor

I use this to adjust the weapon positions, including the aim down sight positions

[eternal frost]

just make it bigger on the screen

problem is that, i have no problem with iron sights because i can use zoom, will it work on 3DSS scopes?

[sonic bolt]

You can use what i linked above to do that. Just enable debug mode, look for weapon HUD editor in F7, then left click on aim position and right click drag to make it closer or further away

[eternal frost]

thank you kind soul

[sonic bolt]

Brief video on how it works, also note that in order for your changes to apply, you need to create a DLTX that overrides the original hud positions with the values from cache_dbg.ltx

[eternal frost]

ah, it turns out that there was easier way to do this, literally second mod on MCM

thank you nevertheless xD

i am stupid

[sonic bolt]

Try that, might be easier than what I'm suggesting

[eternal frost]

issue solved

[novel ruin]

Look for the script that control it

[lethal pelican]

there's a ui_wheel_ammo and ui_wheel_ammo_16 xml file, anyone knows when each one is used?

[novel ruin]

Both is used for different aspect ratio, 16 is for widescreen i think

[lethal pelican]

thank you!

[gilded flax]

Hi everyone, I’d like to restore the original radio music from SoC. Is there a specific mod I need to disable to make that work?

[lethal pelican]

how is damaged ammo (_verybad) removed from the game? I know it technically still exists, but how was it removed from showing up in the debug menu and in weapon tooltips/item info?

[lethal pelican]

huh...I might actually just have figured it out. setting the inv_grid_x/y/width/height prevents them from showing up at all

[lethal pelican]

i dont know if this is something that might be worth fixing for the current 4g ammo

[modest sequoia]

are npc drops determined when they spawn or when they die?

[slow bolt]

when you open their inventory to loot

[lunar rover]

anyone got any idea how to mess with the radioactive noise effect when you get close to rad pockets. changing this doesn't seem to do anything for me. Don't want to remove just want to make it more visible at night or in dark areas. Maybe turning the white noise into green noise or something not sure yet but have no clue how to interact with it. Anyone point me in the right direction?

[slow bolt]

It's a post-processing effect

you need an SDK

.ppe files

[modest sequoia]

is there somewhere to get or generate a list of all the current guns in gamma?

nevermind that question found it

about 10% of thier inventory is decided when they are spawned. gun, grenades, some ammo, maybe a med kit. some spceal things like the compas artifact in the NPC that is the COP player charecter.

the rest is spawned when they die.

except for sometimes pity bandages that are spawned when you loot an NPC after not finding a bandage for 5 NPCs. that happens on loot.

[faint idol]

Perhaps this is the wrong place to ask this question, but here it goes... What is the differense between KVMA and the HD models For gamma?

Ps. if this is the wrong place to ask please yell at me and tell me where to go 🙂

[modest sequoia]

which file determines the when they die stuff?

i should have prefaced my question earlier.... i've found some loot configs but they seem to be stashes (i use zcp 1.5 and zlm or zml whichever it is - so there coould be alot of files stepping on other files pee-pees)

[rotund carbon]

I want to enable the auto limbs regen, I changed the "regen" variable in "zzz_player_injuries.script" and its not healing limbs, not with 90000, 60000 or 1000 (90,60,1 sec), this worked somewhere in 2024 when i played gamma last time

[main plover]

Silly question how much priority is important in fomod?

Asking for a friend

[main plover]

or everything with prio 0 should get overriten?

If in diffrent steps?

[frozen fjord]

what does auto_switch in the ALife.ltx even do? (setting it to true vs false)

[novel ruin]

Best not to touch it

[frozen fjord]

I can turn it back to its original setting if I need to (made a backup) im just curious what it does if you turn it to false ie if it keeps alife in radius online at all times instead of "switching" it. If you could tell me what the function of it is I'd appreciate it.

[slim heath]

would this be the right channel to ask if I wanted to hire a modder/animator to port anims from one AK-adjacent weapon to another?

[sonic bolt]

Could I theoretically swap the magazine models on the AK-12 to create an AK-15 and still have it function without much changes?

[simple scaffold]

the death manager script. which keeps its settings in the death generic and death outfits ltx files.

[simple scaffold]

-- Lanforce
--     full online objects caching, by setting alife to a max value then restore it to general 250 m
--    this will force all objects inside the level to go online, where their resources get cached

-- Tronex:
--  Switching to max distance will happen on sleeping as well, since squads tend to arrive to their distinations
--  When a squad is created inside (or traveled to) actor level, this script will prefetch the model of its npcs to save resources and reduce the lag when they go online

suposed to load all the NPCs at once so they don't cause stutter loading in one at a time later.

but lets you keep small alife radius so that minimal full simulation is done.

in general anomaly keeps alife radius at max so that maximal online simulation is run. makes for better game play IMO.

[rotund carbon]

So for whatever reason, this part of "actor_on_update" refuses to run even in this setup without any conditions for it, i guess im just turning on easy healing and hope that at least that works

Easy healing also doesn't work

[slow bolt]

did you change the correct script?

how did you find it? From what mod does it come from?

[frozen fjord]

Is that when the value is true, or false? Thank you for the answer

[simple scaffold]

if it is true it changes the alife radius. if it is false it stays as it was set. Unless you have a potato PC leave it false.

[frozen fjord]

Thank you for assisting instead of just saying "dont touch it". I turned it to false, as well as increasing ALife radius, yesterday just to test as I have a pretty good rig. Performance is fine and ALife seems more lively. Its set to true by default in GAMMA probably to help with stuttering

[simple scaffold]

i think that is misguided. I think a nice large radius and that feature disabled makes for a better experaince.

gamma is silly

gamma is misguided.what you are doingis what anomaly doesby defualt

[frozen fjord]

My ALife radius is currently at 1500 and auto_switch is set to false. I've definitely been enjoying it and for my rig the frames are good (I only care for 60 frames and max graphics so I don't need 90+ frames). Alot of people seem to struggle with stuttering and it's been said ALife is the main cause so I imagine that's why the changes were made for base GAMMA. Thank you for helping me with what I was looking for.

And if for some reason my rig starts to stutter I made a copyfile of base GAMMA ALife settings, so it's all good 👍

[frozen fjord]

How far do you set your ALife radius? I was told 1500 covers most maps

[simple scaffold]

that seems ok.

i havn't actualy played Anomaly in years. modders curse.

[frozen fjord]

Yeah ik I've played different mods of yours on modDB for years on different builds of anomaly and such now that I'm thinking about it lol. Well thanks again and keep up the good work 🙏

[azure pine]

@slow bolt So I want to get access to base ui_icons file to edit consumables, meds, tools etc. But all the ui .dds I found - are fake and clearly this is not used by the game.
i.e. this toolkit does have "TYPE A" sign in the game, not the "HANDGUN" and all the ui_icon_equipment files has this issue which is indicates for me it is fake ones.

[slow bolt]

"Type" labels are now done by DII iirc

Dynamic icons stuff

[azure pine]

Then it should be CLEAR icon

without a sign

[slow bolt]

So find the item's config and look what file the icon comes from

And if there are DLTX files for it - look there too

[misty mulch]

also for the repair kits specifically, the icons with the type are provided by G.A.M.M.A. Repair Kit Renaming

[analog zephyr]

Guys I'm playing around with an idea of something called a COVERT IDENTITY SYSTEM for GAMMA. This'll play off the disguise system we already have. Lemme know if this is even possible - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Aoc7pFZtbmqXZ2ieoAegAfZ0CsuSxKNfyT3WhSWwrBQ/edit?usp=sharing

I'm not a modder so I'm probably gonna have Gemini draw up some script files for a basic system later today but I'd like to know if it's even possible in the first place to create another identity while disguised. I'd love all of your input GIGA CHAD GAMMA modders.

It's basically gonna make a new identity while disguised as as from another faction then that identity will have a separate goodwill and reputation numbers from your true identity so you can do anything you want in that fake identity without it affecting your true goodwill and reputation

[slow bolt]

Oh bruh Vibe coded Stalker mods
