[brave tartan]

so I created it wrong or named

[teal compass]

idk have to check the ogf

idont have pc right now so alchem might save u

[teal compass]

what bone does armature have

[sonic bolt]

open the dropdown of brewed_coffee.ogf.001

[teal compass]

yeah that one

[sonic bolt]

that should show the bone

[teal compass]

it has to match the bone in that

[brave tartan]

its bone01, so I rename mine to same?

[teal compass]

yes

Change from bone to bone01

[sonic bolt]

Weird, coulda sworn I added a bounding box

[brave tartan]

still same error cannot find root objects

[brave tartan]

Ill ask for your ogf after this but now I just want to figure out what Im doing wrong for the future

[sonic bolt]

You have to select the armature before you can export

[brave tartan]

like click on armature and then export or what

[teal compass]

yes

[brave tartan]

oh it works

[teal compass]

click the armature and export ogf

[brave tartan]

why 😄

[teal compass]

xray

[brave tartan]

Im confused af xD

why clicking armature thats Inside model works but model itself doesnt 😄

wtf

[sonic bolt]

Well without anything selected blender has no idea what you want to export

[teal compass]

because its just how it works

[teal compass]

some part of your mesh have no vertex group for the armature

[sonic bolt]

You didn't actually assign the vertices, on me for not explaining

[brave tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/the-universe-tim-and-eric-mind-blown-mind-blown-meme-mind-explosion-mind-explosion-meme-gif-18002878

[sonic bolt]

Click the Card Mesh
Press TAB
Ctrl A
Press Assign

[teal compass]

Edit mode btw

yeah that

[sonic bolt]

1 puts you into Edit Mode

[teal compass]

Yeah just noticed😭

[brave tartan]

clicking nay of those does nothing 😄

[sonic bolt]

What does nothing? Clicking assign?

If you click select and all the verts highlight then its properly assigned

[brave tartan]

clicking 1 doesnt change to edit mod (did manually) clicking ctrl a does nothing

[teal compass]

Oh god

[sonic bolt]

[teal compass]

What is wrong with this😭

[sonic bolt]

Just highlight all the vertices and then press assign

[brave tartan]

I jsut clicked select>all that worked 😄

and then assign let me see

[teal compass]

So somehow your shortcuts doesnt work

[sonic bolt]

Screw it, here it is too. I'd like to continue teaching so that its a learning experience

[brave tartan]

yeah idk why I remember using it before 😄

I clicked assign lets see if it saves

[sonic bolt]

The only thing that's weird is that the bounding box doesn't seem to save itself, might have to ask Athi

[brave tartan]

okaaay saved with no pop up errors. lets see in game

[sonic bolt]

If you are still in edit mode you should be able to press select and it will highlight the vertices

[brave tartan]

yeah did manually select it and then click assign here

let me see in game xD

[teal compass]

🙏

[sonic bolt]

If only Blender was more similar to Maya, I'd have 5x of an easier time trying to mod

[teal compass]

but

its free

[brave tartan]

yeah it works but its black 😄

[sonic bolt]

But the time needed to familiarize myself with it is agonizing

I'd talk about textures but that might be another can of worms

[teal compass]

Ur uv is fked

or texture assignment problem

[brave tartan]

I mean inside blender it looks fine :/

[teal compass]

yeah

[brave tartan]

and I think need to place it horizontally not vertically 😄

[teal compass]

where is the texture files anyway

and where u assigned the path to

[brave tartan]

1. I copy pasted path folders from brew coffee basically and assign same path inside config.

[lilac idol]

pressing 1 instead of tab now feels criminal

[teal compass]

u assigned the credit card with coffee’s texture?

[brave tartan]

no I just copied path to have correct folders

I gotm y own dds textures

[sonic bolt]

I just did it on reflex cuz Maya has that as the shortcut too iirc

[teal compass]

ok but but do the paths match

[brave tartan]

okay now that I think. I didnt assing path to the texture naywhere 😄 but I dont remember that coffee had it assigned too

[teal compass]

it should be assigned to have textures

u can check it in ogf editor

[lilac idol]

actually it isnt doing anything rn, it's just hidding all the objects in the scene except the hand meshes im using rn

looks funny

[brave tartan]

it says creditcard\uv_base_color

which is inside gamedata/textures

uv also looks finely assigned

[teal compass]

ok and if the texture dds name and path matches it should work

[sonic bolt]

Oh god, I think it's because I use the industry standard control scheme which is closest to Maya

[brave tartan]

yeah looks correct but in game its black

[teal compass]

Can u show the path

[teal compass]

just wonder if its the texture it self or something

[lilac idol]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-fresh-mr-fresh-cat-cat-eating-cat-sleep-mr-fresh-eat-gif-15377773890486741194

[brave tartan]

p.s. indeed tab works but not 1 😄

[teal compass]

idk about shaders but default seems wrong

It should be models/model or something I can’t remember

[brave tartan]

yeah I seen example it was that I can replace it or need to do it in blender?

[teal compass]

just change it in ogf editor

[lilac idol]

you can just change it in ogf editor

[teal compass]

save

done

[brave tartan]

okay but so I know any ideas why its that and how to properly assign it in blender?

[teal compass]

I forgot where it is but just change it in ogf editor works

[brave tartan]

whatever let me see

if it works will try to assign height,metalic,normal ect to it mby will work 😄

[teal compass]

U d have to make those into bump

[brave tartan]

oh right forgot

[teal compass]

since xray uses a different way for textures

[brave tartan]

damn, nah wont bother 😄

[teal compass]

[brave tartan]

yeah I forgot its ubmps

[teal compass]

Yeah its a credit card i dont think it matters lmao

not like u d see it closely

[brave tartan]

it fall under ground mby I palced it too low 😄

what is that orange one

[sonic bolt]

Me spreading misinfo

[sonic bolt]

that's the bone?

[teal compass]

bone

[brave tartan]

it should be together with creditcard then?

[sonic bolt]

Ideally yes

[teal compass]

yeah

[brave tartan]

hmm how do I rise it

[teal compass]

or else it might float

uhhh just move the armature up

[sonic bolt]

Weird, I put my card right on top of the bone and it didn't fall through the ground

[teal compass]

hm

[brave tartan]

I select armature theres no "move" arrows

[teal compass]

on the left there is arrows button

[lilac idol]

world collision isn't related to the bones but the collision boxes themselves

and before you ask i don't remember how it was done

[teal compass]

how is the boxes assigned anyway

[brave tartan]

I mean yeah I selected move tool I can move the card but not bone

[lilac idol]

[teal compass]

I d just make gun from hud to world and their collision is fine

[lilac idol]

ill do some small research and see if i can find anything relevant

[teal compass]

I just remember there is a xyz value that u can mess around on the right tab

that one works for me

[lilac idol]

pics i found from blackgrowl regarding collision boxes

[teal compass]

is thar automated or made manually

[lilac idol]

its done in the thingies at the bottom to the right

[teal compass]

I see

didnt even notuce that lmao

[lilac idol]

me neither

[teal compass]

but then I didnt do it but world collisIosn still works fine

[brave tartan]

aaaaaaaaaaaaa still falls udner texture of the ground

[lilac idol]

probably because your world models were inherited from another one?

[teal compass]

Yeah

its brewed coffee

idk how its placed

[brave tartan]

yeah Ill put it up a bit and see if it works at all

[lilac idol]

have you made sure that the parameters are correct

[brave tartan]

second time in my life laucnhed blender what do u think 😄

and this two miserable souls here sitting trying to help me. Thanks btw!

[brave tartan]

how can I mby thats more correct way to do it

[teal compass]

for the gun yeah, I just remebered most of my guns just inherit from other world models

[teal compass]

at least we made it work, halfway

[lilac idol]

idk i'm looking to find more stuff that could potentially help you rn😭

[brave tartan]

game doesnt crash so ye 😄

[lilac idol]

i'm personally clueless about this so i'm just looking for info

[teal compass]

[brave tartan]

I made it this high its still not visible

mby that models/model is a problem?

w8 I missed bone will try with it

[teal compass]

idk if its shader name wrong or something

u can just click any ogf and copy their shader name to the card

[brave tartan]

yeah its models\model for coffee too

with bone it didnt appear either

[teal compass]

change the / to \ ?

[brave tartan]

let me try default to see what happends

[teal compass]

[brave tartan]

idk Im going crazy its a progress but not one I wanted 😄

nope still udnerground I guess

[teal compass]

[brave tartan]

I visibly saw it falling under the ground 😄

[teal compass]

probably just collision problen

and idk much abput collision at all since I inherot from other world models

[brave tartan]

yee I tried placing sofa and dropping it on top of it. visible it was higher than the one on the ground (held F to highlight text name) I removed sofa and I saw it falling under

[teal compass]

[brave tartan]

I mean mine should be inherited fro mcoffee no? 😄

[teal compass]

I'm absolutely clueless at this point

[teal compass]

yeah

[brave tartan]

noticed that when I do it vertically and leave default instead of models/model and drop lots of it some of them stays on the ground although black

aaaaaaaaaaaa

[teal compass]

so models/model doesnt work?

[brave tartan]

have no idea. Im super lost wanna cry ahahhaha 😄

[teal compass]

[brave tartan]

heres file if by any unholy means someone would help me out I would apreciate it alot. Im out to sleep its already apst midnight, spent last5 hours for nothing 😄

I did it

https://tenor.com/view/nunchuck-ascend-minions-nun-heaven-gif-27278959

[brave tartan]

wanna know how I did it? 😄

[teal compass]

great

[teal compass]

sure

[brave tartan]

I kick coffee megu out, imported money stack, and did all the same things but with it instead of coffee mug. excat same. and it works

smth about coffee mug is broken

[teal compass]

guess coffee is bad

🤣

[brave tartan]

edited bone and model a bit assigning it to 0 ground (Z) both as they were floating a bit. now will have to make 3 separate textures for it. and maaaaybe explore the way of bumps ect just for fun

but thats gonna be asking the man the legend Huh? to help out setuping that auto bump maker program 😄

[teal compass]

[amber agate]

how does one change the gameplay difficulty and also how does one lock the settings as a script

[wanton topaz]

Alright guys- hope someone could advise me. I'll keep it VERY brief: Just how difficult is it to create a new Map Level for GAMMA please? I have a LOAD of custom structures and assets I've made over the years for the Stalker aesthetic and am starting to consider to get them added as a mod basically. Thanks for ANY advice/help with this. Just as a small example- these are a few of what I've got:

I work in the games industry so am more than familliar with levels/maps processes etc etc, but have ZERO xp when it comes to Stalker GAMMA/Anomaly.

[dire rain]

Make an level is hard but is even hard make it for GAMMA, edit map-structures shouldn't be too hard if that don't affect the spawns or some addon related to x structure.

[wanton topaz]

Thanks man. Do you mean it's even more difficult to make it for GAMMA specifically? I have ALL new structures but would also use existing ones. Is anyone aware of any other NEW maps being created at the moment too?

[dire rain]

Yes, specifically make it for GAMMA is harder by have addons that edit thingis related to the maps

[wanton topaz]

AH ok, good to know. It's such a shame- I've got loads of textured models just sitting around doing nothing too.

[dire rain]

But if u want try make a new map i recommend check this:

[wanton topaz]

Thanks, appreciate that..!

[zenith rapids]

Anyone know what the correct syntax would be to add a red dot to a pistol that can't normally have one?

[teal compass]

does the gun have the red dot mesh?

if not its more than syntax or whatever

[zenith rapids]

I would assume not. It's the sig p220 XXX

[teal compass]

well if it doesnt, you have to add the reddot on the gun mesh

[zenith rapids]

ew, not looking to get into blender or nothing.

[teal compass]

then I'm afraid thats not possible

[summer stream]

that's the price you need to pay to get sum stuff in-game

[teal compass]

blender is the only way

[zenith rapids]

Right on. No worries. Just thought I'd ask.

[teal compass]

or other modeling softwares but yeah

[summer stream]

we also have MAS but eh

it's for funnies

[teal compass]

u have to edit the mesh since the scopes are acutally just changing to a different gun mesh

[teal compass]

when the misalignment problems are all fixed and compat prob idk

[summer stream]

truth

[teal compass]

I never used it so I wont say its bad

its just not ready imo

[zenith rapids]

Right on. Well, thanks anyway.

[teal compass]

👍

juan did a simple 20 min tutorial so its not super hard

but still ur choice

[sonic bolt]

if only optic patches was as simple as adding a line

[teal compass]

[zenith rapids]

Ugh, I wish.

[teal compass]

I wish the system is like scope attach to bones and stuff

instead of the changing whole mesh

[summer stream]

MAS is basically doing that but eh

[teal compass]

I know

[summer stream]

main problem is that there's a bone designed to have scopes

that no one basically uses

[teal compass]

but its not the norm right now

[teal compass]

wpn_scope?

or it can be any

[summer stream]

wpn_scope only

[teal compass]

[summer stream]

engine would have seizure if it used different bone

[teal compass]

then like 80% of animation I touched doesnt even have that

[teal compass]

lmao

[sonic bolt]

the 3dss bone is named something else right?

[teal compass]

u can assign the scope to wpn_body

only exception is the len

it needs to be assigned to be bone other than wpn_scope

[sonic bolt]

huh, I recall changing the wpn_scope bone to the lens bone

[teal compass]

yeah basically that

but u can make it any really

[sonic bolt]

so theoretically if MAS used the lens bone it'd technically work better?

[teal compass]

like for mp133 I did recently, it has a stock bone

and use this stock bone as len hider totally works

[teal compass]

idk honestly

[sonic bolt]

I remember athi or frosty's guide saying that a non-moving part can be used as a bone, and the wpn_scope is the easiest choice

[teal compass]

not sure how that works

[teal compass]

yes but it nneds to be different name

since engine is using that bone for something

it will be hidden all the time

[junior zenith]

anyone know how to replace outfits with specific models from a mod?

[summer girder]

Make a mod that mimics the folder structure leading up to that model you wish to replace, rename your modded model as exactly that model, place lower in the modlist

[brave tartan]

Im back xD high. got a small questions. I did make bump and bump# using chainer, I can just assign them to the model inside blender right it wont scream that theres more than one texture?

[teal compass]

no?

u just name the texture and it will work

[zenith rapids]

Ok so I created a DLTX and I'm modifying The Paragon of Freedom Exo (svoboda_exo_outfit). I want to increase the balistics resistance but when I do it doesn't take effect.

[sonic bolt]

maybe its still being overwritten, add more z's to the mod_system_dltx

[brave tartan]

like I assign base color named same as bumps but just with _bump and its auto pick it up fro msame folder?

[zenith rapids]

Hmmm, I guess I could. I'll give it a shot. Right now I have it as mod_system_zzzzzzz_outfit_speed.ltx

[sonic bolt]

huh, that's a fair amount of zs as is, I have a mod that changes armor too and it only needs like 6

[zenith rapids]

Very curiouser

curious*

maybe my line is bad. What did you put in as your parameters?

[sonic bolt]

Unfortunately I don't know much about armor stats, but I think Sparta's Heavy Armor Tweaks changes armor values?

[zenith rapids]

Ok, thank you. I will look into this and try it out.

[visual gulch]

Not sure where to report bugs when you have the discord newbie role, but: the currently shipped modlist.txt contains a typo that causes a mod not to be activated in MO2:
+DarkasleQif's and iTheon's Parts Condition Color Thresholds Changes

The Q is superfluous in the first name and while the mod is downloaded, it won't be activated.

be nice if someone forwarded to where Grok would see it

wait, maybe this is from github and I can submit it as a PR

it is, so nvm - I'll submit it as a PR

[brave tartan]

hello, Im trying to assign new sound to an item, I got .ogg, mono channel, 44k heres lines Im using ( basically copy paste from working item just renamed), what Im missing for the sounds to work?

use_sound = interface\items\creditcard
snd_on_take = interface\items\creditcard

[misty mulch]

if you look hard enough at modlist.txt you'll find errors like this all over it

big shoutouts to the multiple times a mod has changed pos/moved/been deactivated because of a double-space issue

[visual gulch]

Yeah, I had reported some others earlier.

Looking at the git history, this typo has been there for a long while. The mod would be a biggish change if enabled so I suspect this is now intended behavior.

[sonic bolt]

Are there any mods that add carry handle scopes for the M4 like these two? Want to make 3DSS patches with them

[verbal siren]

The ACOG model from GAMMA is the carry handle version, which is mounted on a Picatinny mount. Remove the mount and you have a carry handle optic. IDK if there's more out there somewhere.

[next zinc]

does anybody have a link for SDK that its not in mega

holy shit I hate mega

[orchid agate]

question

what does the on timer 500 500 and 9000 do in this case

this is the script in desman metzgers horror overhaul

the one responsible for the x-16 alarms

are the looped sounds on a timer?

or is there a timer for each lever?

oh wait is that due to the fact that in anomaly you can still get uncalibrated helmet?

[quartz hill]

i believe it just waits that many ms before switching back to system_idle and starting the looped sounds

[orchid agate]

right

[vagrant chasm]

guys i have this mod to open backpacks like a.r.e.a... how do i add a shotcut to it? because i have to right click the bakcpack and open it every time

[topaz barn]

Hello there guys, is it hard to add scope/attachment on already done mod of VZ 58 ? Or if could someone just give me a little guide how to do it. I would like to modernize it.

[teal compass]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8crq79zMfs

[topaz barn]

Thank you very much !

[slim falcon]

Hello all. Could someone adapt this to meet the BHS standard?

[topaz barn]

Question, any idea why i dont have X-ray options ?

[teal compass]

install the xray addons

[wicked latch]

hi guys, there is [mag_50_762x51_drum] awailable for sale from traders but no [mag_50_762x51_drum_hinge]

first one is for SA58 and second one is for SR25 and similar. Is it possible to fix it for traders somehow? Looks like mod maker(s) has forgotten to update trader presets and allow buying mag_50_762x51_drum_hinge

Mod is called "429- The Covenant Weapon Pack 3DSS - Andtheherois & TCWP Team" and file with mags is called "mag_large_drums.ltx"

I just don't know where [mag_50_762x51_drum] is injected to traders inventory, otherwise I can probably do the same for [mag_50_762x51_drum_hinge]

[celest forge]

Goated guy, give him all your money

[teal compass]

[fair canopy]

Use thebretool feature

[wicked latch]

thanks, I'm not a modder and not sure what is thebretool

[fair canopy]

Context menu in game

[wicked latch]

I know ids of the mags. I don't understand how they are injected into trader inventory and why one is available and second one is always missing

[fair canopy]

Because I only made one available because you can retool it to get the other. There's no point in cluttering the trader inventory

It's just an ltx that adds the mags to the traders

[wicked latch]

thank you mate, I didn't know you can retool. Never used it before

[slow bolt]

what standard? it's already there

[quartz timber]

is there a way to make a mod that would classify zombified not as mutants? for the sake of tasks, so you don't get them in mutant hunt quests?

or maybe there is such a mod already?

[unborn crest]

I'm updating the textures of the terranes for bright summer options, will it do?
new

old

[unborn crest]

new 2

I also found this texture option

[unborn crest]

as an option, it can also be based on it.

[unborn crest]

Which is better?

[unborn crest]

or?

[topaz barn]

Could someone help me make it work ? I am not that good. This is my first ever try in Blender and i would love to add modernized VZ58, just adding attachments from BaS, but i'm not sure if it's going to work.

[slim falcon]

The problem is this

[flat plinth]

Hi can anyone help me with changing mod settings

I'm trying to make rank gain for player about 1.5x
I see Gamma has 161 - Improved player and companion ranks ... mod that has no setings in MCM
I went to its folder and found gamedata\configs\creatures\game_relations.ltx

Can I edit the below in the ltx file with notepad to 1.5x its values and rank progression will increase for companions and me?

[rank_kill_points]
novice = 10
trainee = 25
experienced = 50
professional = 85
veteran = 130
expert = 200
master = 300
legend = 500

[slow bolt]

texture needs to be 512x512

literally open any existing texture and draw over it

[slim falcon]

thanks

[orchid agate]

idk if its me being weird but this has always resembled an atom picture in a weird way

[timid shuttle]

Maybe some of u can help me. I use mag mods and I just wish to change the "put (mag) in loadout" bind from ALT to CTRL

its not possible thry MCM, I bet its in one of those scripts. of mag redux

but I cant find it

[naive snow]

I might be misrembering, but I think CTRL might be one of those restricted key in the inventory UI

[unborn crest]

and there is

[next zinc]

Im always getting this verrtex error

but the vertex is there

[fair canopy]

Did you assign the actual vertices

[next zinc]

oh

Now I did it worked

[teal compass]

[next zinc]

now lets see in game

YES

[teal compass]

👍

[next zinc]

How do I fix rhe bones being so far away ?

[next zinc]

nvm I got it

[zenith rapids]

Anyone know why the AK12 Swamp Thing crashes the game??

[verbal siren]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/922555488665743391

[zenith rapids]

Whoops sorry. I meant AK 105, but thank you.

[quartz timber]

is there a way to make a mod that would classify zombified not as mutants? for the sake of tasks, so you don't get them in mutant hunt quests?
or maybe there is such a mod already?

[junior zenith]

yo anyone know how to convert from OBJECT TO OGF

[tidal thunder]

where is this? oh nvm

[zenith rapids]

Anyone know of a mod that lets you put down a campfire?

[untold marten]

Hellowz, in magazine mods, the guns spawn with full mags.. is there anyway i can modify that.. so on a new game, the wapon that spawn.. to not have any magazine. .of it it has a magazine.. to be empty?

[summer stream]

what did he even mean??

to not have ANY ammo inside of it or what

[orchid agate]

idk either

and I play with mags

[zenith rapids]

My God. That almost made me have a stroke.

I just want placable campfires.

[untold marten]

Yeah, I want, in a new game, for the weapon you pick to start completely empty. I’ve already figured out how to remove the extra magazines you get, but the weapon itself still comes with a fully loaded magazine.

[zenith rapids]

Could just sell all your stuff...

[orchid agate]

change values in NPC_Mag_Loadouts

[untold marten]

would this affect all NPCS and subsequent spawns?. I want this change to only apply once on a NEW GAME. Im working on a hardcore spawn mod. (personal use atm.)

And just for the actor, ofc.

[summer stream]

yeah

what do you think

[untold marten]

F 🙁

[naive snow]

Gamma already has placeable campfires

[zenith rapids]

Yeah I had just realized a while ago.

Thanks, tho.

[calm kernel]

Guys, what I have to do to get rid of furniture in trader inventories? Tried many options and this shit still spawn there. grrrr

[flat plinth]

Hi guys
Rank System in Gamma seems to be borked

1. There's a mod 161- Improved player and ... which is supposed to overwrite rank rewards by the ltx file
   But Gamma Economy has the same ltx file and overrules it in priority by default
   That file handles rank rewards for stalker kills
   (So any changes would have to be made in Gamma Economy not that file)
   Possibly Gamma Economy should let that file have higher priority

2. Mutant Kills, Task rewards etc. rank rewards I'm not 100% about - but seems to be in game_statistics file
   But even that is borked
   As in both Gamma Economy and the 161 mod the file lists mutant kills as 50 and tasks as 100 but mutant kills give 3 and tasks 7 or so
   I'm not sure where these values are coming from

Combined these two issues make it so that rank system is borked and

1. Player will rank up much slower than intended/written in mod files
2. Killing stalkers only gives good ranks while all other Anomaly rank rewards are relatively non rewarding in Gamma
   All other tasks give rewards as base Anomaly but only stalker kills rewards are increased while rank caps are increased

[naive snow]

This isn't the #1092834455300866068 , but in all likelihood, this is intended by Grok to slow down the player's progression of ranks and tasks aren't meant to be the main driver of rank increase (although the main story missions give quite a lot)

[naive snow]

Modify the various ''trade_*.ltx'' files that Hideout Furniture includes.
You should have a couple in your configs/items/trade/ , mainly from Hideout Furniture Expansion or whatever new hideout furniture is now

Alternatively, create your own DLTX to remove the sections in each trader's section

[flat plinth]

sorry. thanks!!
Came here from newbie chat after being referred.

Do you know which files I can edit to see and change the rank rewards for mutant kills, task completes etc.?

[naive snow]

Create your own copy of game_statistics.script and modify in there whatever you want. You can start off a copy of the winning conflict file (most likely Gamma's economy) and make your own local mod with a higher priority

[flat plinth]

Thanks!

But therein lies the issue

The game_relations.ltx contains stalker kill rank rewards and the winning conflict file gives the latest values and can be edited or switched with my mod

But for mutant kills, tasks etc. it seems to be in the game_statistics.script file apparently but the values ingame do not follow it
ex. tasks is 100 but ingame is 7
mutant kill is 50 but in game is 3

I'm not sure where these values are coming from since it's not from the game_statistics.script
(whose values are reasonable tbh)

seems like a bug or maybe a different file?

[naive snow]

It's not a bug, the values are simply divided by 4 and the displayed values are again divided by 4, so 1/16th, rounded down.
50 for a mutant kill divided by 16 is 3.125

Ok, here we go... bit reluctant to ask this tbh.
I would like to get into modding; i'm good with 3D cad, can program a little, but never put that into anything gaming related. I would like to start "small", with adding lasers/grips etc. to already existing weapons (learning proces is more important to me than the end result). if I wan't to learn how to, what would be a good way to start?

[summer stream]

it's not that hard

you can start with basics on blender

there's also a lot of basics about modding for stalker

which is this

[queen crescent]

Thank you, I'll start there!

About WPO and weapon unjam. A question/call for help maybe?:

In gamma version the bind is moved to keybinds, so I cant add a modifier (like ctrl, shift, alt) or better yet double tap (which I really would like 🙁 I am very used to use it)
Is there a way to change it? I have the "older" version. I might just replace it, but perhaps it's not that hard to change the script? And leave the original (gamma) WPO version?
It all boils down to "a_arti_jamming_mcm" and I know that cause I literally swapped this file with the one I have (older/newer, I think... just different, this one has bind in MCM and it's very configurable; the bind I mean) and it worked, but its a bit messed up.

Both scripts seems easy, short. I am just not good at merging them :/ Maybe it would be easy for somebody here?? And it would really improve my experience.

[orchid hill]

Hi i have few questions regarding gamma, and modding. I have little to none knowlege about stalker engine and all my coding experience consists of few mods to minecraft i made back in 1.12. Is it possible to change how "jam probability" works, or does it connect with to many other systems, so changing it will break the game or require to much effort?

Rn, how jamming works seems really daunting, and new-found broken gun is mostly useless. Would it be possible to make guns have "progresive" jam probability? Let's say while reloading or shooting "timed shots" (second or two between each shot) gun is really unlikely to jam (2%~5% for even most broken pice of crap). Likewise, while blasting full auto gun will almost always break.

Something simillar could be applied to armor (i don't know if it already is, still playing on outdated version). While fully fixed, durability would decrease super slow (up to 85%, so armor woudn't need patching after every single encounter). With every % below 100, getting more vulnerable to damage.

Guys, how can I edit the outcome numbers for harvesting wood with an axe?
I'd like to make some changes for amount of wood you get and food/water you spend on it. Right now harvesting wood is just cancerest thing in GAMMA. It's absolutely unprofitable

[hoary cipher]

Thanks, I found all the bones and their names in BHSRO so that solved it lol

[naive snow]

You can try modifying the items_campfire, the section of [itm_xcvb_2] which has a eat_satiety, eat_sleepiness, eat_thirstiness or the [itm_xcvb_1], those should handle how much impact cutting wood has, they are based on the type of weapon you use to chop the wood.

campfire_placeable.script has the actual times based on which weapon is used to cut the wood.

local axes = {
    ["wpn_axe"]    = { degr = 13, item_to_use = "itm_xcvb_1", minutes = 90},
    ["wpn_axe2"]   = { degr = 9, item_to_use = "itm_xcvb_2", minutes = 61},
    ["wpn_axe3"]   = { degr = 5, item_to_use = "itm_xcvb_3", minutes = 45},
    ["wpn_knife9"] = { degr = 5, item_to_use = "itm_xcvb_3", minutes = 45},
}

[calm kernel]

And you saving me again! Thank you very much. I'll check those lines

Welp the things you learn, turns out the sledge hammer is way more efficient at chopping wood.
Axe2 is just an empty, it's not a real weapon, just a copy of the Axe, with no distinguishable way to know if it's the better one except looking at the debug name (it does chop wood better tho) while axe3 is the sledge, wpn_knife9 is the tomahawk

[eternal sleet]

So, this may have been asked before, but I couldn't really find a decent explanation: Why do all the HD model packs seem to mess with more than just the models and their textures? Can you not just replace the original models with higher poly ones and call it a day? I'll admit my experience and understanding about modding this game is very close to zero so there's probably some reason I just can't fathom.

[verbal siren]

If you want them to be animated and work with gun models, it's more than just swapping model files.

I am trying to add a silencer and laser to both of the L96 snipers (because i like them)
got the easy part done which was editing the config file so the guns accept the attachment in game and now sound silenced
however, i have no idea what i have to do to update the model, do i have to create a separate model with the silencer on or do i add it to the existing model?
and if that is done how do i tell the game which model to use? looking into other mods was unhelpful so far

also i can turn the laser on now but it does not show in game, what am i missing here?

[sonic bolt]

You can basically just grab a suppressor from another model you like, position it, then export the model and it should appear in game when attached.

Make sure to do the object parent and vertex group assigning too

[simple scaffold]

IF these laser sights still work like the ones from BAS they are basically a translucent glowing stick on the end of the gun. meaning they need a model edit with a specific bone for the "laser"

[topaz barn]

[woeful dragon]

Anyone know what mod is handling base GAMMAs magazine size? I picked up the vntorez_isg and that thing clearly has a 45-60 round mag but in game its only a 30 rounder. I tried to change it in the w_vintorez_isg (I found 3 in my search of the files) but all of them only show ammo_mag_size at 10? Really confused as to what mod is managing that.

[teal compass]

probably dltx is doing that

[woeful dragon]

hmm, I'm not seeing anything in dltx that should be affecting that

also, I was playing ironman with life granter and I was not able to find my current life count in the notes section of the PDA. Did that get moved somewhere?

[naive snow]

The Vintorez isg uses both the mag_vss_9x39_default and the mag_val_9x39_default.
The mag_vss_9x39_default inherits from the val_9x39 which is a 10 round, the val one is a 20 rounder.
All of those are setup in a DLTX

If you're not playing with mags, the ammo_mag_size is set to 30 in a DLTX, the mod-system_weapons_fixes_GAMMA

[woeful dragon]

I see thank you! It was driving me nuts!!!! If I delete that line from the weapons_fixes will the w_vintorez_isg.itx handle the mag size?

[naive snow]

Yes, but you shouldn't. Any update whatsoever to GAMMA and you'll break the weapon and possibly your save.
You should make a small DLTX, takes 2 minutes and is safer + compatible with futur updates

[woeful dragon]

copy wilil do! Thanks again!

Damn. I thought that finally able to fix that weird ass looking sprint animation of SVU by commenting off those lines in the file. But there's an issue with animations in general. When you start sprinting, actor rises his right elbow up very weirdly and only then lowers his weapon like if you hit the 'B' button

Sad. Very sad. I love SVU, but hate it in GAMMA just because of that sprint animation 😄

It's just soooo bad

I wonder if it's possible to bring back old animations without going through 10 DLTX files

[lapis vortex]

Lore accurate XM177.
Buffed fire rate to 900 rpm which is the upper limit of the real life version. Increased mag capacity to 28 rounds.
The XM177 was used in Vietnam, and soldiers often underloaded the magazines for reliability reasons, often loading them to 28 rounds.

I want to make the XM177 less ass, because there is no reason to run it over the M4A1, with the shittier optic options, slower firerate, and smaller mag capacity. Maybe I should raise it to 30 rounds, what do ya'll think

[teal compass]

do whatever u want its your game now

I just changed it to 30 rounds straight

[lapis vortex]

the 900 rpm melts people

[woeful dragon]

I think the stats are worse because I find those all the time. Only had 2 M4A1s drop

[lapis vortex]

XM177 is worse than the M4A1 in almost every stat

[woeful dragon]

yeah, still carried me for a while

cool looking skin

[lapis vortex]

its a cool gun, but I want to buff it to make it as viable as I can

[woeful dragon]

for sure

[lapis vortex]

I wish the strap changed patches based on your faction

but that'd be hell to code prolly

[teal compass]

it was designed to be worse m4

[woeful dragon]

yeah, that would be awesome. I actually think it would be cool if there was a skin mod for the different factions for weapons

[lapis vortex]

no, the M4 was designed to be a better XM177

[teal compass]

yeah I mean game stat wise

I know its the reverse order

[lapis vortex]

yeah, just gork made it's firerate super anemic

[teal compass]

lol that's why I said "worse"

[lapis vortex]

currently it's a pretty forgettable weapon

[teal compass]

yeah I think it makes sense to be a higher rpm gun

but in cost of other stat loss

like accuracy and recoil worse than m4 and such

just my opinion

[lapis vortex]

the worse optic options REALLY drag it down

[teal compass]

yeah that's also a downside

and that's not a easy config change thing

because it including editing meshes

[lapis vortex]

yeah that's a whole blender and whole 9 yards

[teal compass]

there is tutorial on that but still depends on if people want to do it or not

[lapis vortex]

idk if MAS touches the xm4 tho

[teal compass]

it should touch every gamma vanilla weapon if its masg

hey boys! does anyone know how to replace inventory icons? I'm trying to put the medkits from the trilogy.
I downloaded a separate mod and edited it so it only replaces medkits,

Even the icon mod from cr3pis doesn’t replace the medkits, everything else works fine
Maybe someone knows what the issue could be?

[dusty wing]

Thank you for the help so far!
I imported the wpn_l96_sk2_hug.ogf and the timberwolf supressor, deleted some stuff (bones), set the parent and assigned the vertex group (see screenshot)
Then I exported the whole thing under a new filename and changed the config
Result was an untextured ingame model with a very nice silencer that was present whether it was installed or not (dang)
I figured if i saved it under the original filename it might work, which restored the textures but the silencer did not show up (double dang)

It is my first time trying something like this and my first time in blender so ihavenoideawhatiamdoing.gif
Is it possible to tell what i did wrong?

file for reference

[dusty wing]

Okay I made progress!
I was editing the wrong file (103 L96 reanimation)
Editing the file in "410 3dss" did work so I can attach and remove the silencer correctly (yay)
This time i used the silencer found on the mcmillan tac700, which was easier and I did not have to delete anything (except the rest of the gun, lol)
However doing this resulted in a loss of all textures and I feel a little lost

Help is much appreciated 🙂

Last quick question for my L96 Project:
Laser is successfully added to model, shows up in game and can be turned on and off, I can see the beam leaving the gun
but there is no laser dot
what am I missing here?

[faint sable]

You forgot the laser mesh in blender

Every laser has a dot or box mesh at the very end of the guns setup in blender

Using y on blender to see the y axis and rotating it by clicking it again should allow you to see the dot mesh

If no dot mesh then you are missing it and need to add that mesh to the setup and save

If missing best to take another guns laser mesh dot and just put it on the gun you’re making

[dusty wing]

Wow that thing was REALLY far away 😄
Thanks again everything works perfectly, here is the result.. its a bit sad that the LAM is obscured by the scope, but thats a small price to pay

[sour salmon]

Yah lmao I remember last year I was adding the laser attachment and wondering why the dot wasn’t appearing

[fair canopy]

Where did you get the laser mesh from?

[dusty wing]

the M6C Socom Pistol (because it was one i knew had a laser and the mesh was easy to find)

i think that one does not come with gamma per default, but is part of juans lovely collection of guns

I assume any mesh with a working laser will do though 🙂

on which gun do you want to slap on a laser?

I managed to find a mod that adds a flat artifact slot bonus and edited it to add slots as dependent on original suit slots.

1. How/Which functions do I patch for returning the efficiency of artifacts?
   How do I access the current efficiency of the artifact?
   (I know how to multiply it with the mcm factor)

[hoary cipher]

What would it take to make player models andaybe even npc skin change based on the gear they had equipped?

[flat plinth]

you might look at dnpcav mod source code

[hoary cipher]

What's this in? Like wdym by this?

[misty mulch]

there is no "single model" for the player. the mod that controls arms visuals and the one that controls legs visuals are different (there are, in fact, two separate hands packs in GAMMA + a GAMMA patch mod on top of all that)
edit: and both are, of course, separate from any 3rd-party visual model mods

[misty mulch]

DNPCAV is a mod that does partly what you're describing for NPC companions. Changes their armor value depending on their "equipped" outfit.

[hoary cipher]

Yes I was mostly thinking about using kvma as the base then seperating every head and backpack so it's only the main suit then seeing if I can do a script or something that changes your head and backpack depending on what you equip

[hoary cipher]

This sounds interesting

[misty mulch]

no because you can't modularly change only sections of the 3rd party model. You'd just have to create a new model for every possible combination of helmet, outfit and backpack.

And swap between those.

[hoary cipher]

So you couldn't have the main outfit as a thing and then have it so that depending on what mask you put on it puts the helmet on top of that? Kinda like MAS for suits instead where you have all the helmets as seperate ogfs or whatever then you just gotta make sure it aligns well with the 3rd person model somhow

[misty mulch]

yeah that doesn't exist.

unsurprising given that most people are playing in first person and will never see the 3rd person model anyway

your choices are either "create a couple thousand models by combining all outfits/helmets/backpacks" OR "create a MAS-like system just for suits"

[hoary cipher]

I didn't think it would exist lol but I was wondering how hard it would be to make it, I might try it would give a lot more variety to NPC's too so I'll see what it might take, maybe I'll ask pizza how something like that would work, thx for the info

[misty mulch]

well... MAS only exists because someone essentially made engine-level edits to allow for the possibility of modular guns.

as for "how many models would you need to make"... 6 backpacks x 21 helmets x 161 outfits = 20,286 different models

[hoary cipher]

.....well shittttt

[hoary cipher]

This would be like 30gb of only skins lmfao

[summer stream]

https://tenor.com/view/walter-white-breaking-bad-walter-white-screaming-breaking-bad-walter-walter-gif-27285909

that would mean shit ton of ogfs

not skins

what do you mean

[misty mulch]

you don't get it, you can't just retexture the model 20k times, you'd need 20k different models because they're different shapes

[summer stream]

do something like MAS

modular

but the pain is in the models

[hoary cipher]

Ya sorry when I said skins I meant ogfs I didn't mean actual texturing lol I just didn't think about the technical word

[hoary cipher]

Ya I think that's best bet no clue how hard or easy it will be tho

[summer stream]

depends

MAS works on bones

idk what about player models

[misty mulch]

either way, it's not as easy as your initial assumption that you can just separate out a "backpack part" and a "helmet part" and tweak positions

[summer stream]

truth

[hoary cipher]

Ya i would have to make every helmet armor and backpack their own individual thing and make sure they look good by themselves

Probably make the suit have a default style head and make every single helmet be an empty thing that would go over that

Ok I'll see what i can do with this thank you

[sudden inlet]

It crashed because there was no information about how many charges left.
Is it vanilla gamma? Looks like some other mod overwrite functions responsible for disassembling items

[summer girder]

Looked vanilla as could be

Here's what the player did directly after disabling the mod

[sudden inlet]

That weird but okay, will do another round of testing

[next zinc]

Guys

For creating a new ammo icon

Do I need a blender render or just a picture of it from internet ?

Nvm now I remembered that I need to make a model of it for it being able to become an item

Sorry !!

[pulsar stream]

Hey guys, I am trying to understand how GAMMA Rare Stashes Balance (treasure_manager.ltx) works exactly, since I saw these warnings in the console after receiving stash coords and was wondering if that was intended behaviour.

Is this basically how the respective items were removed from the pool for stashes?

I can find their entries in grok_treasure_manager.ltx but im still wondering why the warnings happen

[faint sable]

Yea if making an icon and a world ogf etc it needs an actual model for best icon setup so it doesn’t look like dookie

[next zinc]

Uhum

[sudden inlet]

Since that notification mod is added to the gamma via moddb link - does that mean that launcher will always download "latest" version from moddb ?

[summer girder]

Should, yes

Unless moddb shits the best that exact moment but that's a separate issue

[fair inlet]

nope
iirc some items are just defined only in grok's tier config and not vanilla one, causing warning spam

[pulsar stream]

Makes sense, so the warnings are harmless

I saw them when I was troubleshooting smth

and made me curious

Thanks

This specifically, but I understood its logic now

if it doesnt find any enemy factions, bandits in this case it wont generate the quest

but it causes a slight stutter in the task list upon refresh which made me want to investigate

[main plover]

What about 5.45 bolt action

[summer stream]

isnt that just

long bow

from cod

[main plover]

idk never played bow

COD

kek

SSG-82 I had in mind

[fair canopy]

Yeah I made one and Frosty has too

[main plover]

seems like problem solved idk why we need another one ak platform in default pack

[fair canopy]

?

[main plover]

Or just for newbie confusion "WOW I GOT B TIER AK, wait it shoots semi auto "

[fair canopy]

There's the adar. That's probably why

[main plover]

Fair

anyone made ruger mini 14?

I never use adar it feels wrong

[lilac idol]

yeah but it hasn't been posted yet i think

[fair canopy]

So then they haven't

[lilac idol]

[main plover]

hypothetically if someone already had model for it what anims would fit that bad boy

[lilac idol]

if anything mk14 reanim probably

[summer stream]

nuh uh

[teal compass]

[main plover]

[misty mulch]

yeah, because the condition randomization scripts trigger when the artifact etc. hits 100%. This is because all items spawn at 100% automatically. The 98% cap stops it from being rounded up to 100%. And, no, before you ask, I do not believe there is an easy way for scripts to detect the difference between "newly spawned item at 100%" and "already existing item that is only now being brought up to 100%"

[teal compass]

there is like a lockable artifact mod that u can lock a 98% to be 100% or something

[sonic bolt]

how do people get those little containers for kit icons?

[teal compass]

some model

could be from websites and such

[eager wren]

Im trying to make a reposition for the grizzly detector so its held uniformly to the rest of the detectors but my ltx reposition file doesnt seem to overwrite the position

I suspect its because the original position for the grizzly is in an ogf file, probably dev_grizzly_hud,

I have no idea how I should move forward from here, any other reposition I've done has been fairly straight forward and I've never run into anything like this so any help would be greatly appreciated

[teal compass]

are u using dltx

[lapis vortex]

How difficult would it be to make it so a gun spawns in the world like Kmack’s Terminal and Shiv? I wanna make his Survivalist’s VSS spawn in the Agroprom building

[teal compass]

just look into the script folder of those mod, world_spawn something

it explains pretty much everything and u can just replace the item and locations in it

[lapis vortex]

sounds good thanks

[teal compass]

I also made it work for one of my weapons so if u have any problem I can help

[lapis vortex]

what weapon is yours?

only reason i know this fucking thing exists is we have one at work for some fucking reason

nevere mind im fucking retarded i didn't see semi auto in the prompt. the autism took hold of me

[teal compass]

ak545 exists

in anomaly

[celest forge]

And who is gonna model and animate that

posted it here and not in suggestions for a reason lol

Who df is this?

It's not someone on main base in Dead City, so I'm just confused a bit

Damn. Overhauling game economy is so tedious and complex shit... Never thought that before I started doing it

Meeker's the trader in the Outskirts Bookstore

[calm kernel]

Oh nice! I completely forgot about that boi. Thank you very much

[swift swallow]

Just found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvqSYWYi3Mw
Perhaps someone is interesting in making it for Gamma?

[summer stream]

better to wait for IWS to update

[eternal sleet]

Is this the (base) mags mod used by GAMMA https://github.com/RAX-Anomaly/MagsRedux ?

I have mags running fine, but I'm just curious which mod it actually is since there are so many with similar names

[misty mulch]

Yes.

[sonic pagoda]

Please can someone recomend a good unpacker for stalker gamedata?
All the ones I find on google/youtube/reddit have trojans, and its tutorials from up to 13 years ago

Why would you put trojans into an unpaker 😭 😭

[swift swallow]

On your anomaly folder (C:\ANOMALY\tools) you can find a .bat file for unpacking. You just run and it will extract in that same folder

[sonic pagoda]

thank you! I don't have anomaly, is there a safe place to install it?

Or do I need to pay

[swift swallow]

You can download Anomaly from here, it is free: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly

Once downloading it, you can access the tool I mentioned

[sonic pagoda]

Thx! I also found this, https://github.com/Tosox/STALKER-Anomaly-gamedata is this safe? Or I better use the anoimaly you sent

[swift swallow]

It should be safe. However, it is for the 1.5.2 version of Anomaly, which is currently on the 1.5.3

[sonic pagoda]

I am using the blender addon Release v2.38.2-PavelBlend/blender-xray GitHub

But they said it works with anomaly gamedata too

[swift swallow]

It should, as Anomaly is basically Stalker Trilogy assets combined and then some

[sonic pagoda]

TYSM

✌️ 😭

[swift swallow]

No problem! Good luck on your endeavors

[sonic pagoda]

Why they put trojans everywhere,

What do they expect to steal from Stalker Modders

[swift swallow]

Bandits and Renegades doing, probably

[sonic pagoda]

The poor stealing from the poor

[sonic pagoda]

Pls can anyone tell if this is safe?

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1CPqdQWgsNBoASpuSzh-HQkpNVkeb4KEU

Its someone's unpacked CoP gamedata

[pulsar stream]

Question, does anyone know how to increase lua_gcstep value past 1000? For some reason it seems like the values work the opposite way, to me at least. Lowering garbage collection makes the frequency of stutters decrease (making them more noticeable), and increasing the value makes them more seamless, was wondering if I can make it more fluid by going above 1000. At 1000 when moving the camera you can still see them, by looking at a tree with the sky behind it for example
Edit: Found out how the values work, and why the frequency increases as you go up

For experiment sake

[pulsar stream]

After some research sounds like it would be a hastle and potentially lead to worse results

might be hard to completely get rid of those micro stutters

[dire rain]

I have two

The one that i like most can unpack several "formats" of files

[sonic pagoda]

They should be more avaible, I am so mad those on yt with thousands of views have trojans in them

😭

[dire rain]

Stalker Universal Extractor 2.
U can extract "russian thingis", xdb and more (has other modes but idk).
This is useful for the majority of packed files and just in a few-few mods this couldn't unpack the thingi because certain mods have special formats, but probably the common user/modder shouldn't have problems with this.

[dire rain]

U just don't know where search🤧

[dire rain]

the red thingi is for put the location of the files and that

[sonic pagoda]

I also used this one from a tutorial

✌️ 😭

False positive?

[dire rain]

i don't had that type of problems with that, perhaps false-positive.

[pulsar stream]

check community tab

the comments

[sonic pagoda]

Alright thank you! Its insane that there is no official unpacker in 2025

[sonic pagoda]

In the community I found already unpacked gamedata which is useful

But it would be cool if there is an official unpacker

[dire rain]

Because the community don't need official unpackers

[sonic pagoda]

I also found this method:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHmkndp3pPc

[dire rain]

and thingis like SUE2 and AXR tool thingis are probably better than thingis that GSC would have

[sonic pagoda]

They are automatic?

nice

TYSM

[dire rain]

Automatic in which sense?

[sonic pagoda]

You don't need to open ad write code to run them

[dire rain]

No, in the case of SUE2 is just select a location where the files are located and the app select that route as place where the unpacked gamedata will be (u can change the "unpack" location too).

sooo i guess that is automatic (?

[sonic pagoda]

This is amazing! Also found that this is probably a false poositive by Ikarus

2018 was 7 years ago...

😭

Roblox is 20 years old 💀

Roblox is as old as Stalker 💀

How???

✌️

[dire rain]

i have this unpacker too (just for english thingis), but i like SUE2 more.

[dire rain]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R really has +23 years

[sonic pagoda]

Stalker really grew up with us

[sonic pagoda]

I will use sue2 because this has more false flags 😭

[dire rain]

ok, the thingi that u like more.

[sonic pagoda]

[eager wren]

Pretty sure, I'm using the true pip scope exe

[teal compass]

I am asking if u used dltx for the reposition

it might be overriden by other stuff if it isnt

[eager wren]

ah, not as far as I know, wrote an ltx file

And popped it into mo2

Adding more ! marks would amplify the priority if I recall right, right?

Otherwise, how would I go about dltxifying the repos?

[teal compass]

no, u only need one !

dltx files is mod_system_whatever

and if u want to override it, u can z stacking(its kinda bad but works)

so file name would be mod_system_zzzzzzzz_whatever

so it will be loaded last

[soft niche]

Gave the skills menu a face lift and changed tooltips/descriptions. I'm also making a patch for Skills Expansion 2.1 to have similar stat progression to GAMMA, but I'm curious why skills expanded is not included by default. Are there some incompatibilities that I am not aware of?

[teal compass]

I think its just made to be that

[raw basin]

As a general question, is it possible to script an animation to start with a button press, and then stop at a key frame until button release, and then initiate a new animation upon release? I’m going to look into learning some scripting for this game to try and make a manual cycling framework, but I’m wondering if anyone has already tried and found any roadblocks I should watch out for when trying to break up an animation in this way

[eager wren]

Aah it was the zzz I was thinking about, I'll give it a shot and hopefully that'll solve it. Otherwise I'll have to prioritize upgrading to veles

Thanks a lot for the help buddy

[teal compass]

u welcome brother

[severe cape]

hello my good fellow stalkers, is this the right topic for ask or question for mods that goes in the game? sorry if im asking a stupid question, just a little familiarized with discord...

[teal compass]

If u want to change something, yeah

question about how a mod work also should be fine

[severe cape]

thanks bro

im asking if theres some way to start the game with less items than the min and/or no money, knife only to start or somn like it... i like to play limited lifes and no items, but dropping all and spenting all money just pokes my patience sometimes. i know its stupid stuff, but, if that mod exists, would be nice to have it

[sonic bolt]

Look up the new_game_loadouts.ltx in the data -> search bar, then open it up in notepad++ and edit the money to be less

[severe cape]

TKS A LOTtTtT! 💯

[unique rampart]

Are there any mods that touch the textures of things like the computers/pipes/science decorations, mainly in the undergrounds?

Or are these "baked in" level assets like the weird tree stumps in Cordon?

[next zinc]

Maybe rotten life

[unique rampart]

Think they're 90% ground and house textures like most (also where I learned of the stumps lol)

[sonic bolt]

What determines a texture's reflectivity? Meowie made a glass texture for me a while back but it seems shinier than before. Dunno if it was before SSS23 came out

[lilac idol]

red channel in the bump

[sonic bolt]

Any programs I can use to change that channel?

[lilac idol]

gimp or photoshop

any image editor will proabbly work

[sonic bolt]

So just up the red like this?

[lilac idol]

the way i do it is by selecting the red channel and then edit it using levels

[sonic bolt]

oh so like this?

[lilac idol]

well i do it differently but that works too

[sonic bolt]

Hope it actually works

[tropic cosmos]

Hey fellas I'm trying to add some modded weapons to new game loadouts, but they aren't showing in the selection menu. I'm sure it's something real simple I'm doing wrong, but can't figure it out as I followed the structure of FWP's starting loadout ltx, the images attached were me testing to see if this one gun would show

[quartz hill]

it says it's a text document, maybe it has wrong extension? (assuming you have extensions hidden by default)

[tropic cosmos]

Bahahaha fuck you're right I factory reset my pc a lil bit ago and forgot to reenable them

[sonic bolt]

uhhh for textures there should be a list of these right?

main.dds
main.thm
bump
bump#
bump.thm
bump#.thm

[teal compass]

should be

[quartz hill]

might be able to run alife_storage_manager.get_state().ironman.life_feature = true

you'll probably need to save and load for it to take effect

in function executer

f7 > 0

in the console log there should be a line starting with this
# LOADING: Ironman mode - Second Wind

• some more information after, make sure it says something like 'life_feature = true' and 'life_cycle = 120' or smth

or maybe you can check ironman status in pda > guide > notes

uh should be good, that's the default value it's set to

[quartz hill]

alife_storage_manager.get_state().ironman.life_cycle = 24 probably

[arctic bough]

Hey guys, do you know a good resource to start creating mods? I'm actually a gamedev so i'm not too concerned about achieving what i want to do, but i don't know where to start, what files to check etc

Is there a documentation somewhere ?

[teal compass]

check the pins there is one with modbook and stuff

[arctic bough]

Thanks mate

Oh yeah Anomaly modding book is exactly what i was looking for!

[teal compass]

good luck on whatever u doing

[fringe plaza]

Hello, just a quick question, i made a less ear destroying version of the pause menu music, how can i convert that to a mod that just replaces the file with the quiet version, right now i just have it in a zip that mimics the file structure of GAMMA which can be extracted to the gamma installation directory, but that seems suboptimal. is there a better way to package it so that mo2 can install it?

[wide stag]

Is there a way to lower zombified spawns?

[kind lodge]

Hi everyone, I'm trying to make a mod, sorry in advance for stupid questions, this is my first time doing this, I have L85m3 with working Mags and 3DS, but I don't know how to make it so that this weapon drops from NPCs

i have this, but i don't understand how this works

[fair canopy]

[lilac idol]

read the first pinned message

[kind lodge]

I more or less understood, but from what I tested, my weapon drops on average 1 time out of 50 kills

i think it's works then. btw i will play with this and do more test

[lament current]

i messing around with HUD stats, inventory screen. trying to have other stats than stamina in my BHS medical interface. (the inventory menu. in the interface so i can edit xml and texutures to fit)
im using the one, thats only dependent on BHS.
and im trying to build my mod around that.
but im kinda shooting in the dark with what the inventory is called
(UIInventory is what is displayed in the console ingame. first i thought it was actormenu or something like that)
heres a snippet of my init.script

concept of faction im trying to build the mods around. and make some more villians for the zone.
im working on various consumeables, combat stimulants.
and various meds, with recipies from mutants.
and or some new items like blood samples from factions.
mixing science and occult zone lore for new concepts

[calm kernel]

Hey, guys, how to make a certain item to be disassemblable? For example, I want to make a medkit disassemblable to few ingredients. How do I do it? What lines should I change and where?

[misty mulch]

why is your script file a text file? is this AI generated?

[misty mulch]

make sure it has an entry in parts.ltx (you can also DLTX this file)

[calm kernel]

Oh, nice! Thanks

[slow bolt]

probably

won't be surprised if it is ChatGPT coded

[misty mulch]

i'm pretty damn certain yeah

[unkempt flint]

can anyone handily source me the heightmap for the cordon aka escape? I used the terrain folder and converted it but its not very accurate

Not sure the method

Tried installing SDK but im getting dll errors so thought i might as well ask while i troubleshoot it

[misty mulch]

The problem is we can't even give feedback or pointers, because how would you understand to fix script errors in a script you didn't write, and don't know how to evaluate?

Also tbqh if you don't play gamma and you aren't modding for gamma, why not stick to anomaly modding discord?

Modding for a modpack is specialized in a way. It makes everything more complicated. But there's also ppl here like me who only mod for gamma, and again, can't give feedback on your planned modlist.

[lament current]

thats totally fair, thank you for being frank.

[lament current]

i do play gamma. also. but yes it makes sense. for some reason i never thougt a dedicated anomaly server existed. could you point me there?

[lament current]

no, that makes sense 🙂

[next zinc]

found it

[lusty relic]

does this still work_

[next zinc]

so

im trying to 3dss this mk12 a dude in EFP made

I did all the blender and configs stuff but

its still a 2d scope

here is my 3dss code

chenged for this got it from bcm458 3dss files

lets see if it works

[teal compass]

show 3dss config

[teal compass]

this should work

[next zinc]

still 2d :/

I just printted the same code again

srry

[teal compass]

u sure its the right section name?

[next zinc]

u mean the hud ?

[teal compass]

yeah

[teal compass]

ok wait

why hud for the first two

they should be the one without hud

those dont go into hud section

[next zinc]

ooh I see

so it should be like this ?

now this

lul

[fair canopy]

Did you set the hide bone correctly?

[teal compass]

whats the len bone

[fair canopy]

I'm going to guess not

[teal compass]

why only leupold

[next zinc]

I did like frosty did, took from a weapon with working 3dss and copyied and pasted

[next zinc]

Im starting with this one

[teal compass]

what's the bone of the len

lens?

it might be different of different guns

[next zinc]

lens

[summer stream]

i keep forgetting that 3dss scopes require specific configs

isnt there a specialized ltx file with scope parameters in it

that you need to insert in the cfg file of weapon

or im dumb

[teal compass]

any 3dss config should do

[summer stream]

i didnt see any with it

[teal compass]

and the mesh has lens bone?

[next zinc]

so I got this 4 lens

the first, the third and fourth are wpn_body

the second one is lens

[teal compass]

ok so its lens

[next zinc]

yep

[teal compass]

my only guess is u gave the wrong path

[fair canopy]

Lens needs a bone that can hide

If it doesn't have one then it won't work

[teal compass]

well he said there is a lens bone

if what he said is true

[next zinc]

yes there us

is*

[next zinc]

like a wpn_body len in front of it ?

[teal compass]

just a bone called "lens"

[next zinc]

another one ?

[teal compass]

should be a whole new bone

or existing one that moves along with wpn_body

[next zinc]

In front of the lens one ?

[teal compass]

what

just needs a bone named "lens"

if u said config hide len bone to be "lens"

[next zinc]

already have a lens bone

[teal compass]

ok

what path is this 3dss ogf at

does it override the original one

[next zinc]

its in configs folder

oh

srry

its in anomaly_weapons

\gamedata\meshes\anomaly_weapons\wpn_mk12

[teal compass]

ogf name

and it needs to match your config

like I dont remember why its cqbss when most uses leupold

[next zinc]

wpn_mk12_h_cqbss_hud

because the dude who made it wanted that way

maybe its a replacer for the EFPs TX15

but opens in gamma

[teal compass]

if it dont crash it work

[next zinc]

In this code its this

[teal compass]

if u just override the org ogf it should work

why it didnt i dont know

[next zinc]

ok overwritten in my the tx15_m_hud 3dss to the mk12 hud

lets see

yep

still the same

ok

[teal compass]

did u refresh the game

if u did then I'm out of ideas

[next zinc]

So I think it was a blender problem

The wpn_body len was in front of the lens bone len

Lets see of it works

[teal compass]

ok

isnt that suppose to be

if the front mean toward barrel and not toward player

[next zinc]

shit

ok I will just copy the lens from other cqbss and see if it works

[teal compass]

idk where u got the lens but just use any proper one from 3dssg

[next zinc]

uuuh

[teal compass]
