ok so

make the texture green

[tawny prawn]

and then?

only that one? hd?tritium?white?

fuck sorry my keyboard

[summer stream]

hd_tritium_white only

[tawny prawn]

ok 1 sec

im using paint.net its fast

[summer stream]

try this one

it uses different shader name

(laserray)

[tawny prawn]

i dont understand what you are telling me xd

[summer stream]

this one is lightplanes

[summer stream]

basically one of the two

check it out

[tawny prawn]

ok i made it green\

even better this time

since i cut out the green and draged it in place over the white

and now what

i put these ogf files inside?

[summer stream]

yesh

yeah

try out the first one

[tawny prawn]

ok i get it

i made both variants

[summer stream]

wdym both

[tawny prawn]

im about to zip up the first ogf one and test it give me a sec

there is 2 ogf files you sent

[summer stream]

yeah

try out the first one

after that second one

[tawny prawn]

i made 2 variants 1 with the first one

wdym?

does it matter?

1 sec

@summer stream didnt work

front sight is still white ugh

[summer stream]

check the second one

[tawny prawn]

thought this was going to be easier honestly

lemme check the other one yeah

1 sec

moment of truth

nope

still nothing...

didnt work

[summer stream]

man

id wish to do something

but im not gonna be on PC for so long

[barren crown]

I'm returning after a while of not modding. I'm trying to add BaS sights to an SVD but it gives an error. Am I just retarded and doing something wrong?

[fair canopy]

What's the error and in what context? For gamma?

[barren crown]

for my modpack

it just doesnt start anomaly

so im guessing its dltx error

but err..

i forgot how to fix it since i didnt work on it for 3 months

lol

[fair canopy]

Well you have your hud section inheriting from itself which is causing the cyclical dependancy issue

[barren crown]

oh what

oh

i see now

isnt there supposed to be .ogf after the _hud?

like this? or am i completely misintrepreting what hud = means

[summer stream]

https://tenor.com/view/james-doakes-doakes-curious-suspicious-questioning-gif-14390669560130901665

question why is it like this

you should do just _hud

since it's cycled

[barren crown]

im basing it on other mods because i low key forgot how to mod myself

so i based the formatting on another mod i have

changing them all to be like this is what you're telling me right?

[fair canopy]

Yes

What other mod is doing a cyclical dependancy? It would crash if it's like that

[barren crown]

nvm i was basing on the mod itself

for some reason the svd_sk1 hud all had wpn_svd_sight_hud

it works now 👍

[naive bane]

Any ideas on how I could bring back in some control for the user to be able to control recoil some or lead targets that are running

[summer stream]

@misty mulch veer i have a question, what formula does gamma use to calculate the damage

[misty mulch]

which type of damage? player-to-NPC, NPC-to-NPC, or NPC/environment to player?

[summer stream]

player to npc

i need to know the way gamma calculates it

using different kind of mathematical equations

[misty mulch]

grok_bo.script, basically. there's not really a simple way to describe it, it's complicated on purpose

and note that player dmg to stalkers and player dmg to mutants is different

[summer stream]

[misty mulch]

for a slightly, SLIGHTLY cleaned up version, you can look at the python source of my damage sim, but note that it's not actually very accurate for mutants (i think I'm failing to account for some quirk of Anomaly damage handling)

[summer stream]

ill look into Lua code of grok_bo

i need to understand some of it

[misty mulch]

https://github.com/veerserif/gamma-dashboard/blob/main/damage-sim/damage_sim.py

remember that for mutants it's "grok_bo output" --> fed into Anomaly damage calcs which feature such fun gems as "mutants classified as zombies take -90% dmg"

[limpid mist]

Hi does anyone have 2024 version of Frosty weapon pack? I'm looking for SKS tactical. many thanks

[tight plover]

so, for testing and fun before making a main public thing, i made a custom loadouts thing for anomaly that works when used in it, but i cannot figure out how to get it to run with gamma. does anyone know how to make the following file show up in gamma, even if packed as a mod or such? it works with anomaly, but not gamma, so i hope to rectify it

its meant to make new game item selection better and its a wip i hope to release once i get gamma to work with it

with anaomly the directory i made it work with was E:\Anomaly\gamedata\configs\items\settings\new_game_loadouts.ltx and i am now assuming it needs to be put in gamma directory somehow

[sonic bolt]

Do animators for stalker guns just animate with the bones? I'm used to the convenience of rigs

[sudden inlet]

Looks like you need to dltx this ltx. Name that file as mod_new_game_loadouts_mycoolloadouts.ltx and put into regular gamedata or a standalone mod

[tight plover]

ty

ill try

[sudden inlet]

I'm pretty sure it will crash because of duplicated sections, if so you would need to fix your file according to dltx rules https://anomaly-modding-book.netlify.app/docs/tutorials/addons/dltx

[fair canopy]

There are a few rigs floating around

[quartz hill]

[celest forge]

Most people use rigs

[sonic bolt]

How would I go about finding these rigs? Kinda wanna try out view model animating the VSS

[sonic bolt]

Also, by rig, do you mean ones with fancy controls like this?

[celest forge]

Yeah

Someone linked me the one I used

[raw basin]

Hey Folks, can I just edit the local start_blur_1 to 3000 to sleep at a higher sleep eprcentage? HGaving to get down to 44 is cancer for me personally, no shade. That said, If not does anyone know what value in the actor_status_sleep.script that I should change to do so? To be clear, I am aware of !sleep and have no interest in removing the mod in full, so please don''t feel that you have to tell me about it lol. I love the features of immersive sleep I just want to do so a bit earlier in my sleepiness

I would imagine it would be local_force if not but that seems to indicate thtats the maximum sleep deprivation you hit before you pass out

-- Default 1400. 625 will be for perfect 8 hour sleep,
-- 510 = 4080, because the zone is not the most comfortable.
-- Food also increases sleepiness.
-- Should look into how bedrolls can improve sleep
local in_hour = 750-- amount decreased every sleep hour

local start_blur_1 = 5000 -- value at which gray indicator appear
local start_blur_2 = 6250 -- value at which yellow indicator appear
local start_blur_3 = 7500 -- value at which orange indicator appear
local start_blur_4 = 8750 -- value at which red indicator appear
local force = 9000 -- value at which player is forced to sleep
local force_slp = 10001

[quartz hill]

i think it's this line in ui_sleep_dialog.script? the compared value is the same as start_blur_1 but it doesn't use that variable directly for some reason

wait mb it's this line lol

[raw basin]

Youre an angel thanks will report if it works

[lucid notch]

Guys, I want to start doing quests for Anomaly, what utilities do you use for modding scripts and info portions in CoP/CoC?

[tall barn]

slightly unrelated anybody know how to get a space between the name of a weapon I'm moding

[raw basin]

So this allows me to open the sleep ui, but no dice on being able to sleep. Will test some more shit and report

[quartz hill]

oh yeah mb there's another check that's the exact same on this line here, you need to edit both

[raw basin]

this makes so much sense, you are indeed goated with the sauce. this worked!

[tall barn]

anybody know how to get a space between the name of a weapon I'm moding

like in notepad

[lilac idol]

the main rigs for anomaly can be found in the anomaly discord #883097205710389288 message

it's all viewmodel though so if you need a 3rd person rig you either need to make it yourself or ask someone else

[sonic bolt]

link no worky

[quartz hill]

u not in anomaly discord

[quartz hill]

!anomaly

[queen pine]

https://discord.gg/c4RuJNs

[sonic bolt]

I joined the wrong one at first

[quartz hill]

there's a wrong one??

[sonic bolt]

just "anomaly" on google

still no access, is there a newcomer filter too?

[quartz hill]

uhh i think so but i have no idea if it's in a channel or smth

[sonic bolt]

got in, still no access

two filters

[lilac idol]

have you got it or should I just forward it

[sonic bolt]

I've got access, thanks

[floral egret]

???

[cunning raven]

Please tell me how and where I can change the weapon's characteristics?

[fair pollen]

Bot moment

[floral egret]

Monolith moment

[misty mulch]

1. Go to your GAMMA folder/mods and make a new folder for your mod. Give it a name you'll recognize
2. Inside it, recreate the same filepath that you'd make for Anomaly (so, gamedata\configs\items\settings\new_game_loadouts.ltx)
3. Open MO2/refresh it (F5)
4. Your mod will show up at the very end of the load order, with the same name as the folder you made in step 1
5. Enable it. Congrats mod is now loaded.

Also yes you need to do what Salo said regarding DLTX.

Same filepath and procedure to load your custom mod into MO2, though.

[tight plover]

thanks for thei nfo

[reef creek]

is there a channel for asking about mods? I'm trying to find a good blood mod that plays well with HD textures

[sonic bolt]

Probably just the newbies chat or stalker chat?

I use painter of the zone and I think it adds blood textures too

[last plover]

Who have SVDK sniper rifle?

[summer stream]

it's gonna be released soon by a dude i know

[last plover]

• 3DSS ? 😄

[barren crown]

how do i space these icons more apart

i went into the ltx file to try and edit it

doesnt work as intended..

[tight plover]

anyone with a few minutes to spare willing to just make an new save and give the starter gear options a glance over to tell me honestly if points costs are balanced or not? i made a bunch of new options for starter gear picks so the feedback is to help me balance stuff out

the new items are in custom section and default crap is marked below a ; sign thingy, so if its easier for people to check it, the items are in this file

tldr. hoping to know if points costs are balanced or not for new options

[sonic bolt]

just from a glance a pistol being as expensive as a rifle is a bit nutty

[tight plover]

fair enough. ill lower that bit. ty for pointing it out

[sonic bolt]

I've made my own starting loadout edits too so I have a different mentality

[tight plover]

nice. i was curious then, based on your experience doing it, what do you ususally think is a balanced thing to add? or is it more your own personal use type thing? i plan on uploading it later somewhere, so just curious is all

is this better or worse price wise?

[sonic bolt]

is the high amount of points intended? Cause I was able to clear literally every single item in the inventory on survivalist

I also noticed some debug only guns were in there too

[teal compass]

🤯

[tight plover]

its kinda meant to be mid so i assume further tweaking is needed. also, what were the debug guns?

[teal compass]

whatever is not obtainable in gamma

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-uQhAhds1beLtSAdaO-eUdXqnvriIwfNjXrKbiWmklM/edit?gid=545594540#gid=545594540

check this

[tight plover]

ty

[sonic bolt]

I can't send code blocks for whatever reason so here's an example of how I balanced my Loner loadout

It uses https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1236456051579031612 as a base

[tight plover]

thats very helpful and good to know. many thanks

[sonic bolt]

And is under the assumption the player is on Survivalist (1100 points)

[sonic bolt]

The way you balance stuff is dependent on how you think someone would make their starting loadouts

I wanted to have the idea that you can choose two of three:
Good Armor
Good Weapon
Extra supplies

Something like this

[void magnet]

Quick question: I'm a bit over my "stuck inside an industrial air handler" music phase, so is there any way this incredibly loud, incredibly long "song" can be removed from the lineup? I'd like to hear the other music, but I've had to turn it off because every time I'm tracking the footsteps of a mutant through the woods, a railroad turbo-diesel engine decides to take residence in my helmet.

I asked in Newbie Chat,and they said this was the place to ask.

[vivid marsh]

no clue what the track name is but it's probably from Ambient Music Pack

[vivid marsh]

in c/GAMMA/mods/18- Ambient Music Pack - Wojach

easiest way would probably be to listen to all the tracks in there and see if any of them are the one that's bothering you

[void magnet]

Gotcha! Much appreciated. I'll see if I can track it down.

[vivid marsh]

best of luck

[brave tartan]

stupid question - if I zip installed mod and share it installing it via mo2 will work properly as its basically just unpacked zip anyway right.

[sudden inlet]

If there is no fomod then yea, mo2 just extract the archive

[modest sequoia]

if i wanted to INCREASE npc grenade throwing, is that just making sure more grenades spawn in their inventory?

[bronze thistle]

Is there a way to print out the contents of a table in debug? printf just prints out the table reference and print_table seems to do nothing

[misty mulch]

i suggest making a spreadsheet for this stuff honestly. make a table of the starting loadout items, their point costs, and then figure out how many starting points per gameplay diff + how many points are left from default if they pick up that item. you can use your reference table to then quickly calculate "ok, how many points are left for e.g. guns if I assume the player chooses a mask, the medkit and two yadulin?"

also re: MO2 installer, even a FOMOD or BAIN installer is just a cleverly formatted archive anyway

(yes yes fomod has .xml)

[slow bolt]

which means you have a reference to the data. You retrieve it first and then print

[bronze thistle]

that'd be helpful if I knew the structure

[slow bolt]

that is the real question

[bronze thistle]

I'll be more clear, is there a way I can determine the structure of a table by using a function in a script to output text to the ingame console

and if the answer to that is no, how do I correctly determine the structure of a table given the lack of documentation

and please god, don't let the answer be to monkeytrace manually back to the given object creation and it's parent script

[sudden inlet]

I always though regular for k,v in pairs(some_table) would export you all keys and their value

[idle ether]

How can i change the price of specific item from mod if changing parameters in config does nothing(changes quantity)?

[quartz hill]

use global store_table or print_r

[bronze thistle]

I'll make a debug function for that and try, thanks. Is there an easy programmatic way to keep expanding nested tables in that case? Not too familiar with lua for the record

[bronze thistle]

I'll take a look, thank you

[sudden inlet]

recursive function can take care of nested tables

[quartz hill]

print_r is defined in _g_patches btw

[bronze thistle]

hmmmm, can't find _g_patches.script in my mods folder or see any references in the discord, what mod is it a part of?

[sudden inlet]

It's moddedexes https://github.com/themrdemonized/xray-monolith/blob/all-in-one-vs2022-wpo/gamedata/scripts/_g_patches.script

[quartz hill]

is from modded exes but is added to global namespace, you can just call it

with a table

[bronze thistle]

huh weird, I have the demonized code in my mods folder for it to be searchable

[bronze thistle]

gotcha, thanks

@quartz hill sorry to bug you but are you aware of any way to implement a intellisense style function look up for modding GAMMA in a way that doesn't bork immediately?

using VSCodium for the record

[quartz hill]

i guess there's this?
#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

[bronze thistle]

hmmm statically defined though 🙁

that might be enough for the time being though, thank you

[quartz hill]

ngl i am a total amateur so i wouldn't be of much help lol

[bronze thistle]

no worries man, I appreciate the help

guess and check gets pretty tiresome without good debugging tools so if this works, it'll save me a ton of time

[sudden inlet]

Idea has quite decent intellisense with EmmyLua if you want dynamic

[idle ether]

?

[sudden inlet]

Each item has their owncost property like this, I'm pretty sure you have to dltx this property directly https://github.com/Tosox/STALKER-Anomaly-gamedata/blob/v1.5.2/gamedata/configs/items/items/items_devices.ltx#L487

[bronze thistle]

@quartz hill perfect, print_r is exactly what I was looking for with table printout thank you

[winter elbow]

hey guys

I was thinking, the way animations work for FDDA, when you use a food or drug item, an animation plays accordingly- is there a way to add animations for weapon cleaning and field stripping? I can make the animations myself but i have zero knowledge as to what format i need to use

Other than that i would love to make weapon cleaning, field stripping, disassembly and parts cleaning animations

[slow bolt]

yes. Make an animation for every weapon, for every action

should be close to.. at least 200 animations

[winter elbow]

im deranged, i am a big hoplophile

I would ACUTALLY DO IT

[slow bolt]

oh, you want 4 animations per. That would be i think at least 400

Now some weapons share animations, but that is not very common

triggering the anims is not a hard part. And if you seriously decide to do this - contact lizzardman. He is the kind of guy to have a quality mod like this

[winter elbow]

nah but weapon field stripping would require each platform (same weapons with different colour schemes) having a unique animation

like for example the ak 74s different models

but using cleaning kits can use common animations for the same type of weapon maybe

[slow bolt]

they all would have same animation, same parts

[winter elbow]

Alright imma work on this and get back soon👾

[slow bolt]

you don't get it. Unless animator made multiple weapons share animation set - you need to make a new animation for each

you can't have just a universal animation

[winter elbow]

ooooooooohhhhh

[azure bluff]

db.actor:move_to_slot(previous_item_in_binocs_slot, binocs_slot)

is there any way to prevent item from being activated upon being moved to the slot?

Alternatively, is there a way to check if an item is currently "in hands" or "holstered" and then programatically restore that state after changing the item in the slot?

[slow bolt]

bones are different. bone names are different

you can't edit the model without breaking every other animation

[verbal siren]

NPCs have unlimited ammo (I'm sure), including grenades (I'm almost sure).

[modest sequoia]

so it's a matter of combat scripting

[bronze thistle]

So I assumed armor parts condition would be stored as a key/value pair that was retrievable with utils_stpk.get_object_data on the armor in question. Maybe I'm accessing the object data too early before parts data is populated but does anyone know where these values live?

[quartz hill]

try item_parts.get_parts_con ? should take object as 1st parameter and id as second but you should check

[bronze thistle]

thank you again 🥲

[quartz hill]

[bronze thistle]

looks like 3 params but that's a great starting point

[quartz hill]

3rd should be optional

yeah looks like 2nd and 3rd both are

Is there a mod for the detector called "Hilka" or "Gilka"?

[quartz hill]

1st as well if you give 2nd

[sacred token]

Every param in lua is optional

[lethal garden]

So, in the past, mechanics would buy ammo, and at a higher price than other traders, this is no longer the case, any idea on how to re-integrate that back into the game? Also, magazines are stupid cheap when selling them to any trader, how can I increase the price at which they sell?

[summer stream]

i wonder
is it hard to optimize script to LuaJIT
or its not possible

[sudden inlet]

Pretty sure you should add ammo to buy_condition for each of the mechanic https://anomaly-modding-book.netlify.app/docs/references/configs/items/trade#1-buy_condition

[sudden inlet]

А для работяг, что это значит? У нас же и так луажит сейчас

[summer stream]

Типа я смотрел на один скрипт

Там используется Lua 5.1

[sudden inlet]

Не понял. Используется версия Луа которая под капотом в движке и поменять ее нельзя

[summer stream]

окак.

просто мне там одним работяга объяснил то что у него есть скрипт

я его там просмотрел и понял что он на обычном луа шпиндолит

а не джите

вот и сижу думаю как его там поменять

[sudden inlet]

А у нас под капотом такое

[summer stream]

иначе буду поминать себя

[summer stream]

а

т.е обычный 5.1 можно использовать?

без примочек от JIT'a?

не бейте если нихуя не понял
я зеленый как огурец

[sudden inlet]

Я бы смело заявил что все фишки из обычного 5.1 можно использовать, хз

[lethal garden]

do i need to add the item section of each ammo to it or just the word "ammo"?

[sudden inlet]

А вот за фишки жита надо почитать, что там есть

[summer stream]

а ну тада заебись

буду адаптировать под другую хуйню

кста у меня там небольшая идейка нарисовалась насчёт этого, но лучше обсудить в лс

[sudden inlet]

Item sections for each ammo, yea

[lethal garden]

got it

[sudden inlet]

А это чего ты такое делаешь? Переносишь скрипты из разных движков?

[summer stream]

Не не не

Услышишь идею в лс

Does anyone know how the item editor works, and what folders need to be unzipped in order to change item characteristics?

[wise token]

.357

[sudden inlet]

1. Is there an item editor?
2. You need to dltx desired items sections to change their characteristics
   dltx guide - https://anomaly-modding-book.netlify.app/docs/tutorials/addons/dltx
   Most of items sections - https://github.com/Tosox/STALKER-Anomaly-gamedata/tree/v1.5.2/gamedata/configs/items/items

[harsh gust]

hey, first time posting in this channel as I'm by no means a modder, but I've been having this idea for a while of adding other background songs in gamma on top of what's already in the gamma soundtrack. I imagine something like this would be fairly easy to do but since I have no idea how I figured I'd ask here if anyone's down to help :)

[lapis vortex]

what value do i add to make a weapon full auto?

[teal compass]

[glass harbor]

Are we talking about the same item editor? My editor was already built into my Gamma, and when I try to edit item stats in the game's debug mode, nothing happens. If I press [H], a help text appears stating that I need to unzip certain files that I can't find.

[ivory merlin]

Hey guys, I have a question. Is there an easy way to make the PDA messages in the lower left corner smaller? I do play with "Rescaled Fonts for 1440p." Everything else is fine, it's just the messages sometimes are too large

[verbal siren]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1115558016608120863

This mod has an optional setting for this. You can see how they did it.

Thank you! this mod has a lot of optional settings, thats so nice.

What do I need to edit in the Hideout Furniture mod so that traders sell doors and walls?

[misty mulch]

you don't have to edit it lmao. just disable this mod.

and then enjoy the insane trader bloat

[burnt sequoia]

but that also disable crafting?

[misty mulch]

fun fact the walls and doors aren't even from Hideout Furniture itself, they're from "Even More Hideout Furnitures"

[misty mulch]

it does not

[misty mulch]

that mod is an altered version of a mod I made called "Everyone Sells Fridges", which 1) standardizes which traders sell interactable furnitures and 2) makes all decorations (including walls and doors) crafting-only, to de-clutter trader inventories. It also adds a new crafting category for these decorative furnitures to declutter your crafting menu.

the crafting recipes for furnitures already existed before that.

[burnt sequoia]

ok thanks

[burnt sequoia]

Is there a mod where you can set your own safe zone?

[misty mulch]

safe zone as in what? safe from emissions? safe to sleep?

[burnt sequoia]

emissions

[misty mulch]

we already have the dynamic emission cover mod in GAMMA so you just run under anything solid

[burnt sequoia]

but that works with the HF walls?

[misty mulch]

it only cares about roofs

[burnt sequoia]

a hf wall placed like a roof? xd

[misty mulch]

https://www.moddb.com/addons/dynamic-emission-cover ask utjan, not me

or experiment

[burnt sequoia]

somewhere here in this dc i read that not work with hf

[burnt sequoia]

for that reason i ask

something like you touch a key and add a 5x5mt safe zone for emission

[idle ether]

Like i need to unpack and edit .db or add separate config to mod(Im kinda familiar with programming, but not with modding this exact game)?

[misty mulch]

no, using DLTX method: https://github.com/veerserif/gamma-dashboard/blob/main/dltx_guide.md not programming, just config edits

as someone who just balanced a bunch of cost params, remember that the 3 different progression difficulty presets have different buy/sell multiplier defaults, too

Question: When you load the Atmos cfg manually, because you deleted the atmos files beside shader-cache folder, does that mean you got to load it every time manually or just once per new game?
When you do like cfg_load atmos_summer or neutral - do you have to do it everytime you play or just once?

[cobalt basalt]

How do you make the .dds image work? I used a mod and simply replaced the .dds image with another, but it crashed when I tried using it.

What format do I use when I export the image in Nvidia texture tools?

[summer stream]

not recommended to do it with Nvidia tool, it's good by itself but doesn't have some good formats

you can save it as a TGA file, then using the paint.net save as BC1, DXT1 or BC3, DXT5
OR BC7, Linear

there's also the A8 something something

that is called 32.32.32 in Nvidia texture tool

which is basically uncompressed

[cobalt basalt]

Thanks, man!!

Do you also know how I can convert videos to usable .OGM files for Stalker Anomaly?

[summer stream]

use VLC media player

it can convert TO .ogm and .ogg

basically you need a special profile without audio in it, but using Theora as a video compression tool or format

after that when you're SAVING the file, set it as all files and save as .ogm, not .ogg

[pearl burrow]

Yo, anyone know if there is a way to show a total ammo counter next to the current ammo count? Been looking around and can't find anything for it, not sure if there's just no demand for it or if it's not an easy thing to mod in? Also wondering if there's something to move and resize the current ammo counter, would like to be able to move it to a more visible spot on my HUD.

[charred cape]

im pretty much new to mod making and im sick and tired of npc's coming into my base all the time. its the top floor of the factory at agroprom, is there a way to edit there pathfinding so they cant enter that room?

[summer stream]

re-do the entire map

basically decompile it, go into sdk, remove the path finding in there
compile it back

[charred cape]

thanks man

[cobalt basalt]

Thanks!!

[orchid agate]

paint.net

i chose it cuz its free

:D

theres likely other tools out there as well that can tinker with dds files

[lilac ibex]

brother in citrus, look into gamedata/textures/terrain

[quasi narwhal]

POV you're asking ChatGPT about Anomaly textures

[unborn crest]

There are no color versions of these textures in the anomaly files, initially there are only monochrome, but rather white versions of them.
But these files in the color version should be in the SDK.

[lilac ibex]

There are color versions....

Otherwise you wouldnt be able to blend 4 detail maps

And there is no public anomaly sdk

[young solstice]

hey guys, I'm trying to change lowered weapon HUD and i have a problem with sr2 Veresk. In HUD editor it shows one value and in cache_dbg.ltx completely different 🤔 In this way all my changes look differently in game. All other weapons I can change but not this one... Maybe someone knows?

[unborn crest]

There are colored textures in coc sdk, I just need to replace the vanilla ones with them.

[lilac ibex]

whatever.

[quasi narwhal]

how about downloading the coc sdk yourself and grabbing them

[unborn crest]

I don't have the option to download it right now.

[quasi narwhal]

[unborn crest]

Don't mess up the chat with your dumb prompts, I've outlined what I need.

[faint sable]

It’s because a dltx file is overwriting the hud offset most likely, pretty sure that sr2 does have a specific dltx ltx that messes with the positions somewhere in gamma files

[fair canopy]

ai is a hell of a drug

[slender creek]

Can someone help me modify "Skill System Haruka" mod? i just need change income xp for scavenging skill

[summer stream]

question

how do you get the id of the gun that you have in your inventory

what do you mean throw it away

im putting a sight on the gun

it spawns another gun with other information

the gun before had 4.3 kg weight

new one has 3.7 or 3.9

[teal compass]

uhh throw the weapon on the ground, aim at it and click get info in the debug tab

[summer stream]

ok different problem

i put scope on it

it dies

before it

spawns another gun

keeps the old one

[teal compass]

what

[teal compass]

ok what scope and what gun

[summer stream]

newly made

the shitass config i made

it basically adds mono_kit to it

[teal compass]

oh ak12_custom + mono_kit just turn into ak12_custom_mono

so yeah its making a new gun technically

[summer stream]

yeah but when i PUT

gauss sight on it

it creates a new gun

https://tenor.com/view/james-doakes-doakes-curious-suspicious-questioning-gif-14390669560130901665

with different info

[teal compass]

🤯

another new gun?

[summer stream]

basically

there will be two guns at the same time

gauss sight and non gauss sight

[teal compass]

not sure if its section problems

since u have like several dependencies for the mono gauss sight idk if game freaks out or not

[summer stream]

it freaks out

ill just

re-do the config

[teal compass]

I'd just keep it seperate?

since it looks like it's a scope on scope

which is different from scope on wpn

[summer stream]

yeah that

that will be easier tbh

i'll do that

[teal compass]

are u reanimating it or something

[summer stream]

adding new scope for a dude

(he paid me for it)

[teal compass]

I see lol

I was thinking of getting a different ak anim on the mono kit but I'm still looking

[young solstice]

so I should put changes in another file right? I was thinking about this, gonna try

[fair canopy]

Oh you have to set parent section to the base gun

@lilac idol does wpn_body always follow lead_gun in game if the animation isn't baked?

[summer stream]

yeah

how do you think it works

[faint sable]

If you find the correct dltx file you can edit it for your changes or you can make a new dltx that overwrites the current dltx, your edit dltx would go in a configs folder and make it mod_system_zzzzzz_whatevername.ltx and put in the edit

[fair canopy]

I never thought about it tbh

[summer stream]

we are putting wpn_body above lead_gun since the game uses it that way

same goes to uhh

any other gun
like cod has it too

[young solstice]

No, nothing helps... I do this in hud editor and then when I install this patch in MO2 I see the second one

[lilac idol]

yeah

[tight plover]

i was wondering where to find an up to date version of new_game_loadouts.ltx that gamma uses

ty for this. thats what i needed

[misty mulch]

!mo2search // the even better answer is: "use the file searcher on the right in MO2"

[misty mulch]

it will not only show you which files are being loaded, but which mod provides the overwrite-winning copy.

[tight plover]

TY

[lapis vortex]

what line do I need to edit in a wpn ltx to change what repair kit it needs? I have some VSS rifles that I want to be C kit

one of these i assume

[quartz hill]

repair_type to rifle_5

[bronze thistle]

Does anyone know which part of the code initially sets up the condition on weapon parts? My assumption was that it was done in item_parts.evaluate_parts() and that does seem to be the case for armor and helmets but never successfully saw a weapon object enter that function.

[misty mulch]

best to DLTX them as GAMMA does all its own repair kit reassignment through DLTX, if you directly edit the weapon config you'll just get your changes instantly overwritten

[unborn crest]

how do I create a dltx mod?

[sonic bolt]

Check veer's dltx guide

It's in the pins

[unborn crest]

nothing works for me, although I did everything according to the guide and tried many different options.

I tried making a small mod for the effects of drinks from western goods, but it didn't change anything in the game.

[quartz hill]

probably here in item_parts, i think it's also done in arti_jamming.script via get_parts_con

[quartz hill]

maybe you are not targeting the correct root ltx? should be system.ltx for consumables

[unborn crest]

in the name of dltx file, I indicated the name of the file in which all these values were originally written.

[quartz hill]

that file is included into system.ltx, so you would need to dltx that instead

[unborn crest]

in other words, what should I name this file and in which folder should it be?

[quartz hill]

gamedata/configs, something like mod_system_whatever.ltx

[unborn crest]

the main file is in configs, items, items

[quartz hill]

yeah all those files beginning with "items_" are included into system

[unborn crest]

so you don't need the name of the original file?

[quartz hill]

no

unless it is the root file being read from

[unborn crest]

but even if you specify it, it doesn't hurt in any way, because it will be considered just the name of the dltx file itself?

[unborn crest]

ohh...

[quartz hill]

you can as long as you have the "mod_system_" at the beginning of the filename, but it would probably be better to use a more concise name

[unborn crest]

okay

[sonic bolt]

z stacking could also be a concern

Race to mod_system_zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz_config

[quartz hill]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-head-nodding-meme-headbutt-hit-funny-cat-silly-car-gif-4307198055042192017

i don't think items from western goods would be dltx'd unless they have patches for it or smth

[unborn crest]

oh blyat, It's working!

@quartz hill Thank bro

[quartz hill]

this is also covered in veer's dltx guide
https://github.com/veerserif/gamma-dashboard/blob/main/dltx_guide.md#what-is-a-root-file-and-why-is-it-important

[unborn crest]

yes, I read it, but until recently I didn't understand what was wrong, it's probably difficult to figure out how it really works, it seemed to me that if there are no system.ltx in mod, then you need to take the root folder.
I didn't catch the connection somehow

And yes, English is far from my native language.

difficulties in translation and understanding...

[teal compass]

does translator not help

[bronze thistle]

This function is basically just a wrapper for the function that I already tried to modify unfortunately (evaluate_parts)

did some print debugging in the function for the item section getting passed through on looting stalkers and it never printed out a weapon name so I don't think weapons touch this part of the code at all strangely enough

[sonic bolt]

Is there a specific way to set up a camera for gun animations? Feel like that's a first step needed for me to try out animating

[lilac idol]

I think there was a guide for that in the modding book?

either way firebreath's rig already comes with one

[quartz hill]

looks like it gets monkeypatched in zzzz_arti_jamming_repairs.script

[bronze thistle]

monkey patch? not in my GAMMA 🙉

thanks btw, I'll take a look and see if I can get any good debug info there

hmmm yeah, the IsWeapon check in the monkeypatched evaluate_parts there is diverting weapon objects to a new weapon_eval_parts function, looks like another script I have to change 😭

[quartz hill]

monkeypatch over it

[bronze thistle]

I'm starting to see a trend here

🙈

[quartz hill]

whatever do you mean

[bronze thistle]

as funny as it is to point out how spaghetti things can get, there are some benefits to monkey patching I guess, namely what you just pointed out

if I can monkey patch in a parent or adjacent script, less changes I have to make when/if GAMMA ever touches that file again

obviously not optimal but I can see why it's done now

[quartz hill]

probably almost as bad as dltx z-stacking

[bronze thistle]

that's the first thing I thought of actually, felt like a script analogue to dltx 🤣

wonder if anyone has ever run analysis on how much repeated code is in the full 100+GB install 🥴

[quartz hill]

there are also quite a few redundant mods in which all of their files are overwritten

[celest forge]

Too much for any sensible review

But the bloat is not from the code

Probably 3D meshes and textures are a bigger culprit for the size

[bronze thistle]

are there repeats for this as well in the install? or is it a bunch of unused stuff?

[celest forge]

Both

The 3DSS mod probably overwrites most models for most guns from the base mods, but also there's a lot of cases of heavy mods that are fully included when gamma only uses a small percentage of the assets

PPP comes to mind

[bronze thistle]

makes sense

wonder how much of the install size could be culled theoretically

[celest forge]

Probably about half

Maybe a bit less

[undone lily]

Should be fixed in the ninja update from #📢announcements

[sacred token]

appreciate it

[simple siren]

Can anybody help me what the standard rifle (especially AK) durability parameter is in GAMMA ltx?
I intend to create some AK rifles and variates based on its receivers, which are stamped (1x durability), bulged trunnion (1.5 durability), milled (2x durability) and butchered stamped (0.5x durability).

In AKM BAS ltx is written
condition_queue_shot_dec = 0.0008
condition_shot_dec = 0.0008

If the 1x durability parameter is the same as above (or not because overwritten somewhere due to GANMA gun balance or kind of), what are the parameters for 1.5x, 2x, and 0.5x durability?

[uneven basin]

I'm trying to make my silly suggestion into a mod but have bugger all idea what I'm doing. I'm writing it for base anomaly first because it seems easier. Any suggestions for testing it out? Or do I just load it into the game?

[misty mulch]

The modpack file size is 100% from all the weapon remodels. Just run a wiztree analysis or something.

[misty mulch]

Overwritten by DLTX from... I think it's "GAMMA Guns Have No Condition", the DLTX file that has misfire in the name
edit: yeah it's this one mod_system_zzzzzzzzzz_streamlined_misfire_probability.ltx

[misty mulch]

Please see this FAQ post for bullshit weapon reliability explanation: #╭📖faq message

[fair canopy]

We could get rid of a ton of the bloat if we just leave 3dss as the main model mod. I just have to replace the 3dss shaders with some placeholder dx9 compatible ones and the models are mostly. Compatible

Might be some textures that need to be resaved for dx9

[misty mulch]

Half the reanims come with new models

But it's a mess and you're really tapdancing on quicksand

[verbal siren]

These mods would just go to the GAMMA Disabled section. They would still get downloaded.

[misty mulch]

that's what i mean, you could do it but ultimately you would have to get grok to remember to change the launcher instructions

and given that it still installs, like, five outdated versions of SSS...

[verbal siren]

[simple siren]

How about making rifles ADS slower? I want to make my Zastava M70B3 drum mag have slower ADS like the RPK-16 ADS or other LMGs ADS in Gamma. I'm sure there is DLTX somewhere you might know.

[misty mulch]

best best is for you to run a find-in-file across all *.ltx files in gamma/mods for zoom_rotate_time per https://anomaly-modding-book.netlify.app/docs/references/configs/items/weapons/weapon-world#aiming

[simple siren]

has anyone happened to take a look or try making a patch for re:spawn mutants collection for gamma? it obviously works by default, however, many of the mutants in the mod are extremely tanky in gamma since their health and protections/immunities were not created with gamma/gboobs in mind.

[twilit nebula]

I'm trying to make the blue cooking kit and the army kettle have infinite uses.

I first tried removing the relevant lines in items_cooking.ltx, that didn't work, then I tried to add an exclamation mark to block it as I saw it when I searched in the discord which also didn't work.

Can someone take a look and let me know what I'm doing wrong?

[sudden inlet]

To edit any *.ltx file you better use dltx because usually all ltxes are already overwritten by some other dltx and your changes just disappear during that
https://anomaly-modding-book.netlify.app/docs/tutorials/addons/dltx

I'm pretty sure to edit items to need to dltx system.ltx with your changes to cooking section

[twilit nebula]

Ah okay, that explains some other weirdness I had with some changes working and others not working, thanks!

[summer stream]

ok i have another problem

• what exactly it does?
• and can someone plz send it to me?

[sonic bolt]

https://www.moddb.com/addons/itheons-pda-taskboard There's a moddb link if that's what you're looking for. As far as I can tell it adds the remote PDA task accept functionality

Unless you're referring to Serious' Tasks QoL pack

second one

thx

[sonic bolt]

For what they do, the pack is a bundle of three mods. The Job Can Wait prevents tasks that send you up north pre-BS, while the Northern Job makes it less likely that tasks will send you south when up north. The last mod is a fix for a bug where refreshing the task board gives the wrong information

[crisp oxide]

Thx
Third one seems like what I need. It's prob what is causing some compatibility issues with my code

Hey guys, I'm trying to extract the region/level maps from anomaly and somehow import them into unreal as a world, as I'm working on a stalker animated series
Anybody got any tips on how I go about doing that, I'm not really learned modder but I'm reading the AMB for a start

[sonic bolt]

Try Sota's UI, it has options that can appear like that https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/ui-rework-gamma-style-by-sota

Peak levels are off the charts fellas

[naive snow]

Get Blender and Pavel Blend plugin to be able to open .level files.
Configure the paths and launch Blender through MO2 to get proper path virtualization.
Unpack your anomaly files with the .bat found your Anomaly install.
Move those to a temporary plugin enabled in MO2.
You should then be able to load the maps and have the textures assigned.
The terrain textures will be messed up however as those are done with masks and a special shader. The Grass is also handled on the engine side so you won't have any.
Hide the C-Forms as necessary and hide the colliders if necessary.
Split everything up and export .FBX for Unreal or .OBJ.
Reconstruct the shaders and textures associated to every mesh. Best of luck in that 50 hours exercise.

[winter elbow]

Thank you so much my friend. It's tough work sure, but what I'm planning is definitely worth it, all the more if you see it and enjoy it

I have some experience with blender, altho imma need to brush up on some of the steps you mentioned, but can do that in YouTube.

[naive snow]

Overall, you should be able to get most of the meshes out of the level. It's reconstructing the shaders, importing/exporting and associating the right .bump map to the objects that will take up most of the time
Be mindful that Xray doesn't use the same PBR/Metalness workflow as Unreal, so you'll have to find a way to deconstruct the .bump and .#bump to get the channels and material information that you want for proper rendering.

You could probably automate the .bump fetching in Blender via a python script, reconstruction of a shader that works for evee or cycles even. I think I made something similar for guns, for making icons for Juant months ago.

[loud bone]

like create a red flashlight thats more dim instead of a bright white light

[modest sequoia]

you need to find items_devices.ltx open and scroll down to [flashlight_definition] and there you can set colors, range etc

[loud bone]

thanks homie

[modest sequoia]

i'm going to end up doing this too... i so badly want to add lighting all over the place. i spend more time placing light fixtures than playing some days

not in unreal though. i just wanna burn in my lights so i dont have to redo it everytime i start a new game 🙂

Get sdk blender n fuck around like everyone else

[naive snow]

I guess, but he wants to get the actual built maps, or so was my understanding. If you want to keep the transforms as is, I'd go through blender and just import/export clusters with zero'd origin points

Guys, does anybody knows how to retain the ability to shoot during aiming animation with Gunslinger guns?

If you don't get what I mean, just get TOZ-34, for example, and try to shoot when aiming animation plays. You can't. Now grab AKS-74U and do the same. You can.
And this is why I hate Gunslinger animations so much. You need to wait until the end of aiming animation (1-1.5s) and only after that you are able to shoot. Sadly, you can't just turn this mod off. GAMMA will CTD.
Help.

[zenith rapids]

Hello, I've been working with some of the mod .ltx files and I've been wanting to edit a specific one for a while. With a lot of time trying to find the right one and some of the edits not having any effect I'm at a loss. The specific item I'm trying to edit is The Paragon of Freedom Exo Skeleton. I have managed to increase the spring speed in the corresponding .ltx file, but when I change the run speed it has no effect. The Paragon of Freedom item name in debug menu is "svoboda_exo_outfit." Could anyone one point me in the right direction or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for the help in advance.

[next zinc]

Daamn, how u made ur game looks like that ?

[misty mulch]

you need to make a DLTX edit because the runspeeds all use DLTX config overwriting method, which has priority over direct LTX edits. my guide is here: https://github.com/veerserif/gamma-dashboard/blob/main/dltx_guide.md

[zenith rapids]

That's strange I haven't had to make a DLTX edit before. Other mods that I've edited that came with the Mod Pack I've just directly edited the specific .ltx associated with the item in the game and it has worked. I've changed the immunities for the same suit and for some weapons as well. With this in mind would I still have to make a DLTX edit?

[orchid agate]

is there a way to make custom death screens?
ie if I die a video plays or something like that

[zenith rapids]

I've done it this way on previous updates of the game and it worked but it only works for sprinting and not running.

[nocturne night]

Hey I want to make a sound play every time a weapon jams. How could I do that with a script?

like if a jam happens play this sound

so I don't have to overwrite every single weapon's jam sounds

[misty mulch]

You've been lucky that your edits weren't overwritten in the past. I know for a fact that all armor move speed is set by a DLTX file and that's why it's not working now

[weary root]

idk man it's vanilla anomaly and like 10 mods on top of it

[zenith rapids]

Ok I understand. Don't get the wrong idea but why would it be working for sprinting and not running. Another mod must be overwriting it, right?

[misty mulch]

Prob cos sprint, run/jog and walk are three different movement states

[zenith rapids]

Basically the reason I could tell as to why my edits weren't overwritten is because I found that mod that was overwriting the others that dealt with the same attributes or stats.

That's what I'm saying the mod that I'm editing has 2 different sections in the .ltx file. One for sprinting and one for running. I edit sprinting and it works. I edit running and it doesn't.

This is the file path

C:\G.A.M.M.A\mods\G.A.M.M.A. Exo Balance\gamedata\configs\items\settings

this is the .ltx outfit_speed.ltx

It's a mod that came with the Modpack

[next zinc]

what mods ?

[zenith rapids]

G.A.M.M.A. Exo Balance

Whoops sorry bro. Thought you were talking to me.

[next zinc]

THANKS

[misty mulch]

oh, it's a mod added ltx. then i only have bad news: you need to figure out which script reads off of this LTX file and how it uses the values + parameters inside it, to understand why it only affects one and not the other

[zenith rapids]

Yeah, unfortunetly I've been looking for a good while and have yet to find anything other than one and it has no effect period and it loads before G.A.M.M.A. Exo Balance so we both know that it's going to overwrite it. I've thought about deactivating the one that loads before it but I've been on the fence about it.

From what I can tell no other mod really corresponds with walking/running/sprinting speed . Its been a headache, lol.

[blissful tartan]

cheers

[zenith rapids]

That's why I came here. I wanted to see if anyone knew of another mod that might be overwriting that certain section that is in the .ltx file. I had even tried changing the running speed of every other armor that was in there and nothing, but for some reason when I change the sprinting speed it works just fine.

Anyone know what mod the Ruger SR-556 is located in. Looking to edit the damage on it.

[next zinc]

What is the parameter that controls the zoom in a scope ?

[misty mulch]

you are DEFINITELY going to just want to DLTX that, so the section to edit is [wpn_m4_ru556]. you do not need to even know the base config ltx name

since it's a gun the root is system

so mod_system_myru556edits.ltx, contents

![wpn_m4_ru556]
hit_damage = whatever_number_i_want ; default is 30

[zenith rapids]

Ok I know this is going to sound crazy but... I've done it other weapons I just want to know what .ltx it's in.

[misty mulch]

every other dltx for the gun is scope related so it shouldn't conflict

[misty mulch]

the trick is running a find-in-file for [section name of the gun] for all *.ltx files in GAMMA/mods

and you can get the section name for the gun in the weapons database i made for all gamma guns

pinned in newbies chat

[zenith rapids]

Ok, great. Thank you sir/ma'am.

[misty mulch]

i personally use notepad++ but doesn't really matter

[zenith rapids]

Me too\

Cool, I found it. Should be easy peasy now. Like I said I just do direct edits to already installed mods and go from their. I try to keep is simple stupid.

The phrase. Not calling you stupid.

Whoops, misspelled "there."

[misty mulch]

thing is, if you do direct edits to mods, every time you update GAMMA your edits get overwritten

and there's every possibility you might need to run an update to fix something in the future

[teal compass]

I really advise using a dltx at this case

sure u dont need to but its really hard to get overriden by other stuff

[zenith rapids]

This is true, but I'm just doing this in the moment. I'll look at your guide more and see if I can pull it off. Thank you for all your help. I hope I can count on you if I have anymore questions. If you wouldn't mind.

Funny thing is I went from 9.0 to 9.4. I'm so outside the loop that I'm having to relearn everything again, lol. It's alot.

[misty mulch]

Funny thing is, this message is 90% of making a DLTX mod @zenith rapids

I gave you filename and contents. You only have to figure it the filepath for it to work

[zenith rapids]

I understand. I have had to figure everything out pretty much all by myself from google and trial and error. First time posting here and was directed here by someone else. Hard for me to learn something new when I'm use to doing something a certain way. I'll try though and thanks again. You have been a big help. Also, where do I view your weapons database?

I'm trying to make a custom nosorog armor, like copy and paste one that already exists and change some values and maybe color/texture, but I can't really find the file I need to edit it. Any idea where I can find it or some easier way to do this maybe?

[naive snow]

Launch something like Notepad++ through your MO2 and search either by filtering through the XML file with the in-game description or use the debug item spawner to find the item ID name and search for that by filtering:

Your outfit will probably be a variation of one of the [army_nosorog_outfit] or something

[fair canopy]

@naive snow are there any tools to detect and convert bc7 textures to bc3?

[naive snow]

Hmmm the textures aren't really saved with any meta data that defines the image compression, as far as I know. Some software utilities may have a way to see that info however which would allow you to search or know which ones are BC7 and then just batch resave them as BC3 with the Nvidia standalone tool

[fair canopy]

That would work too

[naive snow]

Check out then Texdiag, you could probably make a quick .bat to spit out and analyze full folders
https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXTex/wiki/texdiag

the ''info'' command spits out the format, which is what you could use to sort everything

[west valve]

Hey thanks for the reply. How exactly do I launch my notepad++ through mo2 tho? You mean like through here somehow?

[quartz hill]

press "edit" and add the executable like this

[west valve]

Yeah I made it there but when I open it through the mo2 its just a blank page

just like opening a random instance of notepad++

[quartz hill]

do a find-in-file search in your anomaly folder (preferably with filters like *.ltx, *.xml, and/or *.script)

[west valve]

ohh okok that makes sense sorry.

[naive bane]

double-checking before i go down the rabbit hole but is anyone here familiar enough with the xray engine file system to know what "Game material '55' is or where i would find it

[misty mulch]

Or, and this is faster, run Anomaly/tools/db_unpacker.bat and direct normal Notepad++ at the _unpacked folder it creates, which contains every base game config/script file

[eternal sleet]

Can someone point me to the file where the mags pull their ammo info from? There's an inconsistency in the 7.62 NATO ammo texts that's bothering my autism.

To clarify, I'm looking for the file(s) that lists the texts shown on the magazine HUD above the magazines, showing which type of ammo is loaded in each.

Tried doing some searching yesterday but could not pinpoint the location.

[misty mulch]

Start by checking the mags mod folder, gamedata/configs/text/eng. All text strings are saved as xml files. Doing a find in file search for the exact current text of that 7.62 NATO ammo will speed things up

[zenith rapids]

Hello, does anyone know how to change the damage of this weapon located in this mod. I've successfully changed the mag size, rpm, and distance the round travels in this same file. The file path is "C:\G.A.M.M.A\mods\G.A.M.M.A. Weapon Pack\gamedata\configs\items\weapons\w_ru556.ltx" and this is what the inside looks like. Keep in mind that I've tried to change the hit_impulse and hit_power but they take no effect. I've done this with another weapon called ak5c and it works flawlessly. Please help.

[misty mulch]

Because again you should be making a DLTX override for this, in the (likely) scenario that something is overriding this weapons hit power param

I even linked you to my DLTX guide...

[zenith rapids]

This mod is the one that overwritting all the other ones that has the weapon in it.

[misty mulch]

hit_impulse has no impact on damage. Only hit_power

[misty mulch]

DLTX doesn't give a shit about file overrides and takes priority over all regular configs

That's why we keep on telling you to use it

[zenith rapids]

Ok I understand. I have tried a DLTX and for some reason I couldn't get it to work. I've never done that kind of thing before and I have a feeling that I screwed something up. I followed your guide but again to no avail.

[misty mulch]

This will go way faster if you zip up the folder where you were making your DLTX file

And send it here

[zenith rapids]

Ok, thank you. Give me some time. I have to rewrite it because I deleted it.

Can I ask one thing, tho before I do?

Just to help me understand a bit?

[misty mulch]

i have honestly been waiting this whole time for you to be asking questions about how to make the dltx file, so go for it

[zenith rapids]

How was I able to change the other stats of the firearm like the mag size, etc, and it works, but when I change the hit_power it doesn't work? Is something else controlling the hit_power specifically?

[misty mulch]

if something in a DLTX file is overwriting any of those parameters for that gun, your LTX edits will not go through.

evidently, something in a DLTX file is overwriting hit_power and not any of those others. which is why i told you originally, you were getting lucky with your ltx edits, which led you to falsely conclude that LTX edits are best practice

[misty mulch]

additionally, gun damage is gun hit_power * bullet k_hit

though of course this means that changing hit_power = changing overall damage

[zenith rapids]

I apologize.

[misty mulch]

for not knowing? that isn't your fault

[zenith rapids]

My understanding on what worked and what didn't is evidently misconstrude

[misty mulch]

for not listening to us talking about DLTX, i'll take that one

[zenith rapids]

misconstrewed

Fare enough. Again, I apologized. I will do my best to understand and listen from now on.

Apologize*\

[misty mulch]

again - not knowing isn't your fault

[zenith rapids]

Ok, time to get started.

Again, let me try doing this and I'll send it.

What would be my base folder because that weapon is not in the Anomaly _upacked folder?

[misty mulch]

same as every other DLTX file that starts off mod_system_* - it's gamedata/configs

in many ways, weapon config DLTX is easy mode because there are so many of them in gamma and you can just use them as your clues for "what's the correct folder to put my gun DLTX?"

[zenith rapids]

Ok, in your guide for finding the root folder to type it out like "G:\Anomaly/appdata/_unpacked" but the weapon I want to edit is not in _unpacked. Does this matter?

Or should I disregard that part of the guide and just start making the DLTX based of that mod that it's in?

[misty mulch]

you're editing a mod-added weapon, so it makes sense that it's not in the unpacked Anomaly basegame files. however, since every single gun has the root of system, it doesn't actually make a different to anything i said (or even to the examples in the guide)

[zenith rapids]

Ok so what's the solution? Am i just screwed??

[misty mulch]

since every single gun has the root of system, it doesn't actually make a different to anything i said (or even to the examples in the guide)

...please, read the full message

[zenith rapids]

Ok, I guess I'm not getting it. Basically it sounds like I can't chage it regardless because it's a mod-added weapon.

[misty mulch]

since all weapons use the same config structure, it doesn't matter that it's not in _unpacked, because it uses the same root file and same folder structure.

[zenith rapids]

So I can just skip that part of the guide and just go from there.

Maybe?

Because as long as I direct the DLTX to where the mod is and what weapon it is then it will work?

Oh wait, no that's not right. Hang on let me look. Ugh, I'm sorry. Again, I'm not good at this.

I take it that 76- BAS patch 28-12-21 (2nd 76) - Mich is the parent mod that I need to use and that's why you showed it to me a while ago?

So far this is what I have in powershell PS C:\Anomaly\tools> & ".\LTXDiff" findroot "C:\Anomaly\tools_unpacked"

[misty mulch]

the steps of making any dltx file:

1. Figure out the config you'd normally be editing - for you this is gamedata/configs/items/weapons/w_ru556.ltx
2. Figure out the root of the config you want to edit - for you this is gamedata/configs/system.ltx
3. From the results of step 1 and 2, figure out the location and file name for your future DLTX file - for you this is gamedata/configs/mod_system_whatever.ltx
4. Create the DLTX file and make your edits in it - I did this for you yesterday and it's here: #╙🖇mods-making-discussion message
5. Move your DLTX file into the correct folder to make it your own mod - for you this is your GAMMA folder/mods/name this folder whatever you want your mod to be/gamedata/configs/mod_system_whateverYouCalledYourFile.ltx
6. Enable that sucker in MO2

i literally did steps 1-4 for you already, you're... kind of overthinking this

[zenith rapids]

I tend to do that, sorry.

[misty mulch]

for a gun mod you simply do not need to use LTXDiff because there's a pretty strong hint that your gun-altering DLTX file should be gamedata/config/mod_system_*.ltx and it's this:

look at ALL the (highlighted) DLTX files, they're all editing guns, they're all in this same place with the same file name structure. that's a pretty big hint that you should be doing the same exact thing if you are ALSO trying to edit a gun with DLTX.

[misty mulch]

there's no such thing as a "parent mod" for DLTX and you don't have to know it, except for the part where you might want to know what the values were, before you start tinkering. it's useful to know for the changes you make, not critical for the sake of making a DLTX file.

[zenith rapids]

Oh so I just need to name my .ltx "mod_system_alt_ru556.ltx? Then, add the parameter in the file? Then put that .ltx in the right mod?

I'm sorry if that's wrong. God I suck.

Please don't hate me....

[misty mulch]

you don't have to call it alt anything, the reason why i kept aggressively naming it mod_system_whatever is that the whatever part can literally be ANYTHING

mod_system_stinkpoopbuttfart.ltx would still work

[misty mulch]

i am genuinely not trying to be mean, but pre-apologies don't work how you think they work, and certainly don't like... appease me or whatever
what i would appreciate is you just taking a deep breath, sitting down and reflecting on the information you've already been given. this is not a race. go take two days to do this if you want.

the thing that makes me frustrated is when someone works themselves up into a frenzy and then doesn't actually digest the info given. not people not apologizing for shit they had no way of knowing about.

[zenith rapids]

Ok, I was just having a hard time digesting the info is all. This is probably from me over thinking it, but I was genuinely just trying to understand.

[eternal sleet]

Figured it out finally! It wasn't mags related at all in the end.

The files weapon_ammo.ltx in both mods 181 - Ballistic overhauland G.A.M.M.A. Close Quarter Combatwere using the wrong inv_name_shortattribute. It was ammo-7.62x51_apwhen it should have had an _sat the end

[misty mulch]

i mean yes that edit will also work, but see the above convo for why i would advocate you making this change in a DLTX file versus direct-editing the LTX

and, great news, for any ammo-editing DLTX, you also make a file gamedata/configs/mod_system_myFirstAmmoEditingDLTX.ltx and edit that

[zenith rapids]

Hey I said I would send it so here you go

[misty mulch]

Thing that is stopping your file from working:

• your file should be in gamedata/configs, not gamedata/configs/items/weapons

Notes about the changes you make, which don't affect whether or not the file works

• hit_impulse doesn't affect damage, only the ragdoll of enemies when they get shot
• (oops misread) you have COMICALLY exaggerated the damage of the gun
• bullet_speed has NO impact on damage, it only affects bullet trajectory (how flat it fires), 880 is already basically "completely flat at all distances"
• the general principle is that "if you aren't going to change the value, don't put it in". You don't change fire_distance value, so don't put it in

otherwise it's fine and it'll work

misread let me redo that damage note

[zenith rapids]

Well when I increased it with those numbers on another weapon the in game value jumped up.\

[misty mulch]

every NPC in gamma has a health value of 1.0. Damage of 9.52 = 10x overkill to literally every single enemy in the game.

[misty mulch]

the short version is "take it from me, a person who spent six weeks understanding how bullet damage systems in GAMMA works"

[zenith rapids]

Ok, I had originally put the file in gamedata/configs but it didn't work when I put the mod into MO2. I then went back to your guide and in your guide you said copy the same file structure of the mod.

The idea of everything being over powered is the point with me. I just like causing chaos in the game. It's fun to be OP in my opinion but maybe not to everyone. At least I only want to do it with this one weapon.

[misty mulch]

...sure. but it should STILL go in gamedata/configs.

also make sure you enable your own mod in mo2

[zenith rapids]

Ok, I had enabled it, but it still didn't work.

[misty mulch]

you may need to refresh MO2 (F5) to see it. It should show up at the very bottom of your modlist, if you are sorting by Priority.

how are you checking

[zenith rapids]

By checking the mod in MO2 and then going into game to see if the gun stats have changed. I also went through the trouble of checking in debug menu.

[misty mulch]

okay

is the rar file you sent me, just your mod folder zipped up?

as in, is your full filepath GAMMA/mods/My ltx creation/gamedata/configs etc.?

[zenith rapids]

No "my ltx creation" is just the name I game the .rar

[misty mulch]

so what's the full filepath of your folder?

like, on your pc

[zenith rapids]

C:\G.A.M.M.A\mods\RU556 XL\gamedata\configs

[misty mulch]

hmm

i mean yeah it should be reading the config on starting the game and loading the save

[zenith rapids]

....

you know better than me

[misty mulch]

let me just replicate it real fast.

[zenith rapids]

There are 3 diferent mods that I know of that have this very same weapon in it. I've gone through all of them and the only one that seems to have an effect on the weapon is G.A.M.M.A. Weapon Pack, but only in regards to mag size, etc

Well that and rpm, bullet speed, and what not.

[eternal sleet]

Wahey, got that working! I'm a modder now 🤣

[zenith rapids]

I also have this problem with the wpn_sig220_n. The problem there is I can't find the XXX version of the gun so I can't edit it.

[misty mulch]

please stop editing the base ltx. the entire point of this exercise is so that you do not touch an ltx file in another mod.

[zenith rapids]

I get it, but this was before I started talking to u.

So I will from now on change my ways.

Luckly I made a backup of the whole game on an external. So, if I want to revert, I can.

[misty mulch]

also i hate to say it but Works On My Machine

[zenith rapids]

Oh that weird. Maybe have to re-update again? Either that or use my back up?

[misty mulch]

certainly I can make the RPM 2000

damage number doesn't change but i have a feeling this might be a tooltip bug not a gun stats bug

[zenith rapids]

Yeah same here! Lol!

Everything works except for the damage.

[misty mulch]

oh right i have to fuckin disable the fuckin log print remover

[zenith rapids]

??

Does that effect it?

[misty mulch]

talking out loud, nothing for you to concern yourself with

[zenith rapids]

Oh, my bad.

Well suffice to say I'm glad it's not me.

Oh, and if it make you feel any better the damage numbers were just test numbers. I was going to go back and fix it if it worked.

And hit_impulse if fun dangit! Watching people fly after you hit them is hilarious!

[misty mulch]

Called it, there's another DLTX file overwriting the RU556's damage stat.

[zenith rapids]

I figured

I even asked that.

[misty mulch]

So you just have to make sure your DLTX file comes alphabetically after the filename mod_system_weapons_damage_GAMMA.ltx
I suggest mod_system_weapons_myRU556edit. Since m comes after d (for Damage)

[misty mulch]

in my defense there were 776 hits to manually go through in GAMMA.

[zenith rapids]

Fare enough.

[misty mulch]

i mean hell mod_system_weapons_hahasuckitGrok.ltx would also work

[zenith rapids]

LOL

Now you see why I was frustrated, lol. I like modding but man this shit had me up for hours trying to figure out why it wasn't working even after talking to you.

I'll test it now.

[misty mulch]

the other nice thing about this file is that you can do all your weapons damage changes in the same ltx file.

[zenith rapids]

OHHH SHIT!! IT WORKS! YAAAAAAY!!!

and yeah I plan to. THANK YOU so much for the help!

[misty mulch]

the XXX version of the gun is [wpn_sig220_n_upg220]

actually let me double check that and not just infer off the string id

[zenith rapids]

Right, I figured that part out, buuuut. You can't edit the stat on it anywhere from what I can tell.

[misty mulch]

you can, just do it via DLTX the way you just did for the RU556

[zenith rapids]

Ok, cool.

Hell, I can probably use the same name for the ltx except it won't be ru556

[misty mulch]

just because the parameter isn't explicitly listed, doesn't mean you can't modify it - in the case of guns like the P220 "XXX", because it is a variant of an existing gun, it inherits stats from the base version

[zenith rapids]

Yeah I thought that too. Just didn't know what to do about it.

[misty mulch]

not even that, you can literally just put it in the same file

![wpn_mp4_ru556]
(all your edits for the ru556 go here)

![wpn_sig220_n_upg220]
hit_power = 10

[zenith rapids]

OH WOW!! That's crazy!

Didn't know you could even do that.

[misty mulch]

you can do this only because all guns have the same root, which means same file structure and same DLTX filename prefix

[zenith rapids]

Damn, you were right. This is easy mode, lol.

[misty mulch]

you can actually see this in action in that mod_system_weapons_damage_GAMMA.ltx file - it changes the damage stat for dozens of guns in the same file.

and now if you update GAMMA at any point in the future - your changes will be kept and you don't have to redo them, and they're all in one easy place in case you ever want to tweak the numbers

[zenith rapids]

geez, is that Grok's doing?

[misty mulch]

the config overwrite wars in gamma are intense and it's not actually just grok doing it

[zenith rapids]

Wow... sounds almost as bad as Skyrim

Hell, maybe worse.

[misty mulch]

oh it's categorically worse than skyrim

[zenith rapids]

Lol

Alright, well, again. Thank you, so much. I appreciate your help and patients.

[misty mulch]

any time. enjoy your busted guns

[zenith rapids]

They're not busted, I swear.

Oh, man. I'm sorry, but I do have one more question. Don't worry it's not a big deal, but can I also add armor parameters to that same ltx that I created?

Or is that particular one strictly for guns?

[misty mulch]

technically, yes, outfit LTXes also use system as a root. For reasons of neatness, I would encourage making a second DLTX file (can just go in the same folder)

also named mod_system_*.ltx

[zenith rapids]

Cool.

[misty mulch]

where * is whatever you want. whether or not you have to play the alphabetization game, depends on whether or not there's another DLTX file in gamma that modifies the same parameter you want to edit, etc. etc.

[zenith rapids]

I could just put a bunch of z's in front of it couldn't I? Kind of like Stalker 2

[misty mulch]

...you could, but z-stacking is a scourge upon this earth and i refuse to condone it

especially doing it before checking whether or not you need to

[zenith rapids]

Right on. I wish I could record this convo for future reference.

[misty mulch]

search bar exists, just look for stuff in this channel, from me, that mentions you

[zenith rapids]

Oh ok.

[misty mulch]

then you'll see a list of all the messages where i pinged you, which should take you back to this convo

[zenith rapids]

Oh wow. That was easy. Sorry, I don't use discord that much.

[brave tartan]

hello. I mtrying to make new .ogf that part is okay I guess exporting now, but how does stalker know what textures to assign to it, or .ogf format carries that data on its own somehow? I doubt it

[fair canopy]

The meshes in the ogf have data for textures

[brave tartan]

data from like where I got those textures placed when I assigned them to the model right? or the hwole "textures" data inside them. coz I wonder if I need to ocnvert my .png to dds ect xD

tried assigning but it didnt work and next tier item that is not even child of this one crashed game
visual = dynamics\money\creditcardgreen.ogf

oh wait its probably this exact one not higher tier so it does need dds file assigned otherwise it crashes

mmmm need tutorial ahahahha

[orchid agate]

having a bit of trouble with creating a custom main menu for anomaly (not gamma)
I did by doing the gamedata textures ui thing and putting the OGM file inside but when opening the game the menu selection glass thing gets brokenand becomes green and the video is super zoomed in
anyone have tips on how to do a custom main menu video?(working on a tutorial)

cuz with gamma i just replaced the background_new one
but in anomaly that doesn't work

[brave tartan]

if someone could give me few tips how to properly implement new .ogf I would be very grateful

[orchid agate]

the anomaly main menu is the logo on the top then the menu select thingy outside of it how would one go about puttin the video only without messing with that bottom thing

because this happens

and the video doesn't play

as well

anyone know?

and if I have only the video OGM file this happens

[orchid agate]

update: I got the video to work but the menu selection transparent thingy is gone its just the glossy looking fitler it has

[brave tartan]

getting this errors when exporting ogf mby thats why Im crashing

[orchid agate]

this chat is more dead than a pharaohs tomb tbh

[sonic bolt]

Maybe people are quiet cuz it's for anomaly not gamma

Also UI is hell afaik

[orchid agate]

I understand its for anomaly

but perhaps someone knows

that is why I'm asking

surely its not THAT different in gamma compared to anomaly

its not as if one is on unity and the other in UE5

[brave tartan]

I fix errors but game still crashing guess Im missing smth on the model

[teal compass]

bone missing maybe?

[orchid agate]

cock missing?

[sonic bolt]

Missing assigned Vertex groups? That's a big culprit when I made kitbash models

[brave tartan]

can someone show me how to add them never worked with that part of the blender xDD

@sonic bolt@teal compass? please if ya have a minute

[sonic bolt]

Well it might depend on what exactly you're doing, but when I combine two OGFs together I need to assign the new model to the existing skeleton and assign a vertex group to it

[brave tartan]

Im creating creditcard

[sonic bolt]

Uhhh, not exactly sure what that means, like, an asset?

[brave tartan]

like litterally an credit card item 😄

[sonic bolt]

I get that it's an item, but are you crashing when you're trying to drop the object on the ground or something?

Actually starting to think this is out of my scope

[brave tartan]

yes when I drop it on the ground so I think ya all right I need a bone so it would fall and nto clip through the ground

and vertex group too??

[sonic bolt]

here's a picture of what I assume to be the world model of an energy drink. It still has a bone so it can interact with the floor (I assume)

[brave tartan]

yes I added it, tried at least idk what Im doing

[sonic bolt]

I managed to make a quick test and it seems to work out

[brave tartan]

how did uadd it? armament?

[sonic bolt]

You can try looking for an object that has a world model, maybe something with one bone

[brave tartan]

added brew copy can I aby copy paste it all into my card? 😄

[fair canopy]

You need to add a bounding box to the model. Click on the main one of the armature and a little running stick an should appear on the properties tab. The settings for creating a box should be in that

[brave tartan]

sorry what exacly?

will go ask cahtgpt what is bounding box 😄

all I wanted is simple creditcard ogf aaaa

[sonic bolt]

Modding is never easy no matter how tiny it is

[brave tartan]

especially when Idk about blender anything only messed with some uv mapping a bit

[teal compass]

prob see some blender tutorial for that part

but yeah its all vertex group assignments

[brave tartan]

if I knew what exacly I need and what to look for

[teal compass]

honestly just check if the model moves with bones

[brave tartan]

I dont know how to add bones... 😄

[teal compass]

Then add one?

Or just bind it to another armature

[brave tartan]

idk how xD

[teal compass]

Just search blender tutorial for that

seriously

Its really just vertex groups

[brave tartan]

I mean exacly? how to assign bone? or what armature? or vertex groups?

[teal compass]

idk how to explain it easily

ok so search for videos directions

[brave tartan]

so nice to search for video without know what I need to look for. guess will try how to assign vertex group idk

[teal compass]

https://youtu.be/dKZrzG5r13g?si=KMjVn_1EAdQj-wgh

literally just search blender vertex group.

[sonic bolt]

Is your credit card an OGF already? Click onto ogf, then press shift + drag it into the armature

[teal compass]

upon that the ogf also need to have assigned to the bone in that armature

idk what that credit card mesh is assigned to but it should be a easy assignment anyway

[teal compass]

that should do it

and if the weights is correct then all good

[sonic bolt]

well now vertex weight's gotta be explained (and I could be talking out of my ass for all I know )

[teal compass]

its just edit mode select the meshes vertices, assign them to a vertex group

that should be it

[brave tartan]

so I dragged my creditcard inside brewed coffe and copiedm odifiers into it

[teal compass]

ok now vertex groups

give it a vertex group

[brave tartan]

I just clicked + and named it bone and then selected it here

[teal compass]

ok and now it should have one

idk if weight matters if its only one bone

[brave tartan]

so I can try to hide mug then export as ogf and see if it works?

[sonic bolt]

Don't think so, as long as the vertices are assigned to the group

Just delete the mug

[brave tartan]

like that

[brave tartan]

just to test xD

[teal compass]

Yeah delete the mug

hiding it doesnt affect export with it

[sonic bolt]

Actually hold on, doesn't the vertex group need to be the same name as the bone? In this case bone01

[brave tartan]

okay deleted. but now gives error cannot find root objects

[sonic bolt]

can you send the ogf? let me try messing around

[teal compass]

Ok so wrong bone then ig
