[next zinc]

Ok

Put the lens

Exported

Lets go

Didnt work

Ithink I will wait for the mods creator to make 3dss for this

ok

third try on replacing lens

failed lol

[teal compass]

somehow your config just doesnt take the lens bone

might be overriden by something else

which I dont know

[next zinc]

the mod_system ?

[teal compass]

idk man

I'll take a look

I cant tell anything from that really

it looks fine

unless I have the ogf and check it

I cant tell anything yet

[next zinc]

I will send u !

here it is

[teal compass]

this doesnt even have the 3dss lens

nor reticles

no wonder it wont work

[next zinc]

rlly ?

[teal compass]

nor is there a lens bone

u really sure u are using the right one?

[next zinc]

wat ?

[next zinc]

ok

thats weird

Cuz I exported mine to the same folder replacing it

[teal compass]

so something went wrong when u export

[next zinc]

dafuq

no error message nor anything

ok

somehow

blender was saving it in an non updated folder

[teal compass]

I always thought that's the reason but couldnt imagine it

[next zinc]

oh fuq

now it should have lens

[teal compass]

bruh what is happening😭

[next zinc]

Oh no

[teal compass]

where are the bones

ok this literally looks like a world model

there is no motion ref

[next zinc]

I will fuckn die

I cant believe my eyes

I CANT BELIEVE

did he saved the world model as HUD ?

[teal compass]

sir

I hope u are not joking

😭

[next zinc]

No bones again?

[teal compass]

yeah

I dont know what is going on

[next zinc]

me neither

[teal compass]

but u can try import the exported ones again

[next zinc]

mine have bones

[teal compass]

no it has bones

its just far away

and it still looks like a world model

since there is no motion ref

[next zinc]

oh I see

but it works in game somehow

the weapon is loaded

shoots

and does its thing

ok

[teal compass]

thats a world model without motion ref

if u use that for hud I'm sure thats gonna crash

and also the name has no hud in it

[next zinc]

ok

so

he did this

[teal compass]

ok

idk who is he

but u are editing the wrong ogf

[next zinc]

I will restart it

the motion refs were in the OGF file

and now they missing

what a mess

[teal compass]

it also has totally different bone from your first one

I'm sure its wrong

[next zinc]

me too

restarting

so

the weapon has no lens bone but a wpn_scope one

should I change the lens to wpn_scope /

?

[teal compass]

no

it wont work properly

it will be hidden forever that way

[next zinc]

so

how do I put the lens bone in the gun /

?*

[teal compass]

add one

just like what u did for the world model

but for this one

[next zinc]

I dont know exactly how I did it

I simply dragged the scope from a model to anothher and the bones came

[teal compass]

[next zinc]

yep

I will go to bed and fix this tomorrow

[summer stream]

@naive snow
oh the allknowingly burn, can you tell what this texture is responsible for

since it does not look like roughness

this is roughness

[lament current]

what mod is it that makes you able to field strip guns

[next zinc]

So one thing that I didnt understand is how do I proceed when the atachment ogf Im doing already exist

Like

In your tutorial the eft_mp7_tan_acog hud didnt exist before

In my case the mk12_h_cqbss_hud already exists

Do I just copy the lens or the entire scope like u did there ?

[next zinc]

also

my omf editor doesnt have the tool to change bones]

[next zinc]

ok

I was checking the other guns in this mod and as the creator told it is in Beta

vvery unfinished stuff

I will wait for him to finish it first

now I will try 3dss the .50 beuwulf mod

wich is complete

[modest sequoia]

how could i make (placeable) lights not take damage and go out? i've been trying things in bind_light_furniture.script but am lost

[calm kernel]

Does fetch quests reward based on the cost of an item you bring to NPC? So if I get 500 RUB for a guitar, for example, and I increase its base cost, will I get more money from NPC? Or I need to go to some specific DLTX file and type the desirable numbers over there?

[sacred token]

Yeah its item based https://github.com/Tosox/STALKER-Anomaly-gamedata/blob/v1.5.2/gamedata%2Fscripts%2Ftasks_fetch.script#L109

[calm kernel]

Thank you very much!

That's very nice

[sacred token]

Used here for example https://github.com/Tosox/STALKER-Anomaly-gamedata/blob/v1.5.2/gamedata%2Fconfigs%2Fmisc%2Ftask%2Ftm_dynamic.ltx#L55

[next zinc]

YAY

[sacred token]

Thinking about it it would be nice to have dltx logic which allows to edit condstrings

[teal compass]

roughness maybe?

[summer stream]

@teal compass

yuki

this is roughness

[grim veldt]

Guys i need some help

I'm trying to make some weapons from a mod start dropping from enemies

But i don't know where to start

[nimble vortex]

How can I edit the description on an item? I want to change what the printed magazines say

[teal compass]

ok well glossness maybe

[glass spire]

can anyone help guide me with adding new retooled magazines in different calibers?

[cinder bronze]

Greetings. Can i ask: if i wanted to remove a weapon, can i just disable in the mod organizer menu? or must i painstaikingly remove from the NPC lists as well?

[hoary cipher]

Remove in what way?

[cinder bronze]

In simply getting rid of the mod. Can i just toggle off some weapons in the MO no problem?

[hoary cipher]

It depends most gun mods you can't disable mid save

If you are starting a new game tho then yea you can disable it no problem

[cinder bronze]

ok, thanks! so i disable weapon mods, start new game and those guns will just be gone? excellent, thanks a lot

[hoary cipher]

Yep, and always to make sure to delete the shader cache when adding or removing mods just incase

[naive snow]

That's a curvature, it shows convex and concave angles in geometry, useful for making edgewear and dirt/grime in crevases

[summer stream]

oh
oh that's cool

can you bake it on a texture or not

im curious

[nimble vortex]

Does anyone know how to edit the item descri[ption text?

[summer stream]

you need to edit XML for it

[nimble vortex]

Thank you. Is that the program name?

[summer stream]

if its for a gun, it should be in the same folder

[summer stream]

file format

[summer stream]

well not same folder

[nimble vortex]

Oh okay. I am trying to edit the items that can pass time like magazines and playing cards. Do you know of a program that can edit XMLs?

[summer stream]

down in gamedata\configs\text

[summer stream]

uhh

i used visual studio code for it
but using notepad++ is good too

just save it in correct format

(windows-1251 can be used)

[nimble vortex]

Awesome, thank you very much for your guidance

[naive snow]

Hmmm you could use a couple of levels and drive masks off of it.
View it like this, 0 ~ 0.5 values represent concave, so inward angles. You can remap it to a full range to multiply, kind of like an AO map, or color overlay with it as a mask and add a brown dirt in the crevaces.
0.5~1 is convex angles, so you could use that make some edge wear brighter at bit to modulate your base color or specular map. Alternatively, multiply that with the world normal map (use the +Z (blue)) to brighten up your texture to emulate a sun bleach or something

[summer stream]

so

[glass spire]

anyone know why my custom magazine isnt working for this gun? the magazine exists and can be loaded but it freezes the game when trying to reload it into the gun

[summer stream]

its basically the same as AO

i just need to correctly add it

understandable

thank you burn

you're the almighty helper

and i seriously need to get into this

[naive snow]

Not really, AO doesn't show angles, it's occlusions so you don't get relief information

[summer stream]

so i can do stuff proper

[summer stream]

it's just baked on lighting

[naive snow]

Pretty much

[summer stream]

if its for AO

curvature should be easier

i think

[naive snow]

Well AO and curvature really serve two different purposes, you can use the curvature as a limited and false AO but I wouldn't as it's not really correct either for it

[summer stream]

i have two ways

i can bake AO on texture and get it

after that i will put AO first

and after that
curvature

could look better

[naive snow]

I'm not sure I'm following what you're saying

[summer stream]

so you remember how I did BF2042 textures?

and made AO in substance painter

i will do the same since

it's cod stuff

and none of it has AO

because engine makes it while ur playing

or if u have a setting on

basically real time rendering

blah blah

i get the color map, put AO on it using overlay about 25-30%, after that curvature on 10-25%

[naive snow]

Here's how I'd do it (the layers (bottom is the first layer):

Curvature from 0.5 to 1 remapped (lighten or soft light)
AO (Multiply)
Curvature from 0 to 0.5 remapped (tint it dark brown-ish) (multiply or overlay)
Base Color (normal blend mode)

[summer stream]

so

wait, tint it?

[naive snow]

Yeah, in photshop, use the color overlay mode on it

[summer stream]

okay

ill do so when i wake up

or not

since i don't really want to sleep

but it depends, 5 hour of sleep is bad

[summer stream]

got it

[naive snow]

So you can use that to add dirt/grime to crevasses

[summer stream]

i like your funny words magic man

[teal compass]

[cinder bronze]

Hi yall, can i ask if there is a repository with documentation on scripting in the x ray engine? I saw for example in the log of the lastest patch in anomaly that they said:
Removed “add_cam_effector2”, just call “add_cam_effector” with or without the optional arguments instead
But where is the documentation?

[naive snow]

Check the pins for the Anomaly modding book, read the github of the demonized exe or Tosox's github

[misty mulch]

@cinder bronze only really needed if you're fucking around with shader mods, unless that gun mod somehow fucks with shaders, you shouldn't need to touch the shader cache folder

[hoary cipher]

I agree it's not needed most the time but it's something that's best to do when you install or uninstall any mod simply so you can remove the front the possible list of things that could have cause problems if you do have problems

[covert leaf]

Hey, I'm playing around with GAMMA balance by editing scripts. ATM I'm trying to increase the number of uses for weapon toolkits but I'm getting some unexpected behaviour.
Misc changes: Disabled immersive sleep and GAMMA Sleep balance. Enabled black market.

Here are the relevant files I'm editing:
E:\GAMMA\mods\140- Weapon Parts Overhaul - arti\gamedata\configs\items\items\items_repair.ltx
Line 375 under ([toolkit_p]:tch_repair ). I changed max_uses here to no effect as it seems to be overridden by the following

E:\GAMMA\mods\G.A.M.M.A. Economy\gamedata\configs\mod_system_GAMMA_repair_kits_uses.ltx
E:\GAMMA\mods\G.A.M.M.A. Economy (don't disable, turn on Black Market to buy gear)\gamedata\configs\mod_system_GAMMA_repair_kits_uses.ltx

I don't know the syntax but it seems to be overriding the max_uses to 3.
However when I change the value for max_uses here (or comment out the file), the toolkit no longer appears in the gunsmith's trade inventory.

This is where I'm lost as I have no idea why changing the max_uses would remove it from a trader's inventory. Any direction would be appreciated.

[next zinc]

so Im having this issue that objects and npcs go invisible when I zoom in

does anyone knows how to fix ?

heres the configs of the 3dss

[naive snow]

Did you wait on a shop refresh for a full 24~48 hours (or however long shop refreshes now are)

Simply check first if the item in the debug spawner has the correct amount of usages and go off from there

[covert leaf]

Cheers, didn't know about debug mode. Item was fine and the shop just needed a refresh. I was using a save just before the shop that had the item unmodded. I guess editing the item drops it from the existing inventory but the pool of possible items still works. All good now.

[willow flume]

Does anyone know where colonel petrenko's logic packet is?

Idk if I'm blind but I cant find it in the "bar" folder despite the other duty npc script packages being there

[quartz hill]

you probably need to unpack db files

[willow flume]

I have. I'm looking in said files

[quartz hill]

looks to be in this?

[willow flume]

Yep I'm 100 percent blind lmao. Thank you

[sonic bolt]

is it possible to rename OGF texture paths without editing the ogfs themselves?

[quartz hill]

[sonic bolt]

where is this?

[quartz hill]

lua_help_ex lol

but otherwise idk

[sonic bolt]

so its a script , I'll try fiddling with it. It might beat me having to rename textures so that DICK's will get overwritten

[quartz hill]

i think you can use npc_on_net_spawn callback for this kinda thing

[austere cosmos]

How would I go about giving an old mod the parts system gamma uses?

[sonic bolt]

You can make a dltx like this. You can check the section name of the parts through debug

[quartz hill]

[austere cosmos]

If I copied the mod_parts file from another mod with basically the same gun and went in and changed the wpn_name in notepad++ would that work?

[sonic bolt]

It should as long as its similar to the screenshot i sent

[austere cosmos]

okay ty

[grim mist]

Are GAMMA’s faction-specific damage resistances found in GBO mod or elsewhere?

[swift swallow]

Guys! Quick question. Is there a place in the files that I can config the moon brightness without changing the sky appearance? Not its global illuminance, but the moon "png" itself. I love the current night settings, but when I look at the moon it is too dim.

I know, very nitpicky, but aren't some of us?

[misty mulch]

inside the grok_bo.script file, lines 765 - 825

[misty mulch]

!mo2search // i strongly suggest you use the mod file searcher (on the right), to look for the winning copy of grok_bo.script (or any other file in the GAMMA modpack)

[queen pine]

@grim mist Use the mod name search bar to find mods in MO2, and use the mod files search bar to find which files are from which mods. ||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​||||​|| _ _ _ _ _ _ https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1098945649929617478/1165045267637211156/mo2-search.png

[misty mulch]

because in GAMMA, the winning version of that script is not from "Grok's Ballistic Overhaul" mod

[grim mist]

today i will use windows file explorer

[grim mist]

Yeah i figured the winning version was gamma close quarters but ill recheck

im simply trying to replace gbo with arti so i need to disable all instances of grok bo to prevent issues

ive found that incompatibilities between the two result in stalkers being made of paper

[misty mulch]

oh yeah final note on the faction resistances: because the names are not obvious, isg_res is AP res and sin_res is damage resistance

i mean if you're just going to comment it out, it doesn't matter, but there you go, now you know more

[barren sail]

Guys, I'm not very good at modding, but is there any way i can add my track to PDA radio?

[summer stream]

@naive snow i figured out the texture thing about those hands
they are using specular glossiness, so i should've just set it as that in substance painter
since i had problem with it being really 'oily' or reflective in simple words

time to do curvature

done

this is without

[misty mulch]

@frosty lake does BaS correctly transfer EFT textures to X-ray renderer style?

sorry to ping

[summer stream]

yes

[grim mist]

is there a proven method for UE4 texture transfer to xray?

how would i pack things like the occlusion and roughness

[summer stream]

bake em

using substance painter

[grim mist]

can i not just take the individual R G B and alphas out and then overlay them onto the color texture?

[summer stream]

what

[grim mist]

with an image editing tool of some kind, can i take the individual layers of the ORN texture and overlay them onto the color texture?

that being the red and green layers onto basecolor

and then keep the alpha and the blue layer as the normal

[summer stream]

no

that would be idiotic

normal won't be properly shown

which is bad

[noble quail]

i know of fast travel and jump_to_level but is there a way i can jump to specific coordinates using the console/debug mode? like if i wanted to have my freecam go to exactly to one of these locations in dynamic_item_spawn.ltx, is that possible?

[unborn crest]

народ, кто может сделать зашибенную винтовку авс-36, чтобы там полностью цельный крутой аддон на высшем уровне, с поддержой всяких модов. Сколько такое стоить будет?

people who can make a great avs-36 rifle, so that there is a completely solid cool addon at the highest level, with support for all kinds of mods. How much will it cost?

[grim mist]

i see

so i MUST use substance painter

to bake

blender has no such baking functions?

[summer stream]

it does, but its more complicated

[quartz hill]

there's demo_set_cam_position i think

[naive snow]

Depends on the texture packing used for the unreal project. But most textures can be repacked and modified to comply with stalker's shaders

[glass spire]

is there a guide for what the values mean in the weapon ltx files. im trying to modify recoil

[misty mulch]

recoil is tricky because gamma uses enhanced recoil on top of basegame recoil - basegame recoil only modifies climb, you have to alter enhanced recoil profiles to actually change the camera movements

anyway the full documentation of all the weapon params is here: https://anomaly-modding-book.netlify.app/docs/references/configs/items/weapons/weapon-world try the various "Weapon" sub-tabs if the parameter you see isn't listed in that specific link

[glass spire]

actually just getting the doc is perfect, thanks

[misty mulch]

bookmark that link then, that is the reference for anomaly modding

[noble quail]

perfect, thank you

[cold temple]

Hey hey not sure if it's the right place for this question, i wanted to ask where should i start with changing the way radiation works. I want to achieve something similar to what "Arszis Radiation Overhaul" which from what i know is not compatible with GAMMA, in particular does anyone know how can i change the amount of damage one takes from radiations and tweak the "safe" radiation threshold added in 0.9.4? Is it a matter of changing a few numbers in the right ltx or is it something more conplex?

[simple scaffold]

looks like its this script. I can't help you with it because i won't be able to do that without editorial comments and i don't want to annoy the moderators today.

https://github.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA/blob/main/G.A.M.M.A/modpack_addons/G.A.M.M.A. Radiation Effects Overhaul/gamedata/scripts/grok_progressive_rad_damages.script

[cold temple]

Was looking for random files on MCM and also found this one which looked promising, i'm a total noob so the github helps giving some context to the lines, thanks! I'll fuck around with it tomorrow and see if i can get the safe threshold to be a bit more forgiving at least, i'm still chainsmoking here

[chrome jungle]

@teal compass @next zinc the official mod is on moddb, i'm planining to create a recoil patch for short barrel variants (m16k and m4a1 pdw) to have more noticeable recoil impulse and tweak the damage, if you are willing to help, let's continue in DM

[teal compass]

which mod, the sed's m4 reanimations one?

anyways I'd be glad to help if I can make it work on my gamma install

[chrome jungle]

correct

for some reasons, an LR300 with 10.3-inch barrel deals more damagae than an M4 with 14.5

which is not logical

14.5-inch should deal around 33 or 34 damage, 16 deals 36 damage and 20 deals 37 damage i think

[teal compass]

it's all hit_power or something that controls it

[chrome jungle]

that's where it gets more complicated because EFP and maybe gamma has arti ballistics correct?

[teal compass]

hit_power = 0.49, 0.49, 0.49, 0.49

the number times ammo is the dmg

[teal compass]

efp has, gamma has a custom mod that adds support with a different calculation

but still the hit_power control each gun's power

[chrome jungle]

righttttt, so the damage that we see in the gun description is not correct

[teal compass]

the gun stat is correct I think

I only know that hit_power controls the displayed number

for dmg

[chrome jungle]

okay, thanks for info, i appreciate it

what about the recoil patch?

can we turn down the recoil as well or it only allows to create more recoil?

[teal compass]

its all the things here:

cam_relax_speed                          = 10
cam_dispersion                           = 0.556
cam_dispersion_frac                      = 1.0
cam_dispersion_inc                       = 0.0675
cam_max_angle                            = 54.0
cam_max_angle_horz                       = 54.0
cam_step_angle_horz                      = 1.62
zoom_cam_relax_speed                     = 10
zoom_cam_dispersion                      = 0.466
zoom_cam_dispersion_frac                 = 1.0
zoom_cam_dispersion_inc                  = 0.0525
zoom_cam_max_angle                       = 54.0
zoom_cam_max_angle_horz                  = 54.0
zoom_cam_step_angle_horz                 = 1.57

[chrome jungle]

the whole animation pack is made on the basis of the m4 tac

[teal compass]

dispersion is the recoil I remember

[chrome jungle]

and the m4 tac has 14.5 barrel

[teal compass]

zoom is the ads stuff

[chrome jungle]

m16s have longer barrel

they should have less recoil (plus they are heavier)

[teal compass]

yeah so adjust based on those stats

I also wonder that is the pack replacement or add new guns

or both

[chrome jungle]

only replace

12 guns in total, (2 of which are from EFPWP)

[teal compass]

I see

[chrome jungle]

M4A1 pdw replaces badger and MK12 mod H replaces TX15

[teal compass]

well then it'd be hard to get it work in gamma ig lol

[chrome jungle]

it's a fomod tho

if you dont use EFP, dont select the EFP patch

then it only replaces 10 guns

vanilla + BAS

[teal compass]

I see

well gamma also reanimated some bas gun so I'd guess it would need patches too

[chrome jungle]

cant we just put the new mod on the highest priority?

the configs for these guns are the same as vanilla and BAS in terms of spawn id and naming

well, only the ogf files have different names

[teal compass]

idk I havent tried it

all guessing

[chrome jungle]

didnt @next zinc checked it already? he tried to make 3DSS

if it loads no problem then it should be fine

[teal compass]

idk I didnt talked to him about that

[chrome jungle]

m16k my beloved, i think for this addon to work, we just need to make a 3DSS patch

[teal compass]

okay what is this lmao

why is it reversed

[chrome jungle]

because of missing 3DSS patch i guess

[teal compass]

I can't tell really

maybe it conflict with gamma addons

[frosty lake]

• • there are some shortcomings

I would even say that yes, since in general their color correction and bump are well done

but understand that now each assembly of the sss has its own settings and because of this you need to adjust the gloss and color to them

with PBR assets everything is much more complicated, due to the fact that the textures there do not have any detail on them; they need to be baked

[celest forge]

Ehh depends on the assets

Some modelers put some wear on the texture and then some on the maps

[frosty lake]

and they also have normal maps, different from those in stalker, this must be taken into account

[frosty lake]

you idiot, in order for the PBR asset not to look like shit, you need to bake roughness and metallic and shadows on it, you also need to get a gloss texture somewhere...

your attempts to say something smart right now only make you look even more like a fool who doesn't understand how to do it

[celest forge]

I never said don't include roughness and metallic, just that not all textures are completely void of detail and wear

You colossal fucking retard

[frosty lake]

textures with more than 2 colors are not = detailed

[celest forge]

For X-Ray you need to bake the roughness/metallic into the normal map and invert the channels to convert them to an X-Ray readable bump map

[chrome jungle]

@frosty lake can i ask you something about the EFT textures conversion pls? im trying to make an automated script for PTS to run

[frosty lake]

Why then do your crafts look so bad?

[frosty lake]

bro just look how the bas is done

[celest forge]

Lmao this fucking imbecile doesn't even know how to do it himself

[frosty lake]

I’m already silent about the fact that in 99% of cases you need to adjust the gloss manually, launch the game and see how it looks, and not just shit in the red channel

[chrome jungle]

well, i did ask you via DM sometimes ago and you gave me an instruction, i created a script accordingly but the end result doesn't look like what BaS has, and since i'm a dumbass when it comes to bump and bump# i dont know that to do sory

[frosty lake]

Unlike you, I'm now telling you how to do it, and not trying to show off

[celest forge]

Tarkov assets only look great in tarkov because a lot of them have the shadows and most of the detail baked into the diffuse

Not that they look bad in other engines, just that they don't look as good as in the actual game anywhere else

[frosty lake]

you idiot

[celest forge]

Just have to figure out the orientation of the green channel in the normal map and adjust it accordingly to match it

ye bruh don ya now that's a miror

downlood me modz plzzzz

Well, yes, I have -3 marks in English
I taught him while playing cs go

увы

[teal compass]

ok

idk about that retexture but that thing is so dark

[frosty lake]

yes is so very dark

[teal compass]

I made the texture based on the eft ones

to glossy maybe but I'm not a texture guy so blame me on that

[frosty lake]

at least you admit it

[teal compass]

and I dont care

[frosty lake]

In principle, I don’t know much either, but I see the problem and talk about it, and when they tell me where and what was done badly, I don’t start making excuses and keep doing shit..

How much I watched the Juangster and Frosty, I never saw a single growth

although it’s worth noting that Juangster sometimes produces good animations

but it still fills the alpha channel of the bump with a solid white color....

[teal compass]

people may and may not take others suggestions

so like idk what to tell u

[frosty lake]

and they don’t study visibly and don’t want to

[teal compass]

people do whatever they want

simple as that

[chrome jungle]

i actually have an in-depth video instruction from a Russian chad on converting bump files for Stalker but since everything is in Russian, i don't understand anythign

that dude also said Forsty method of converting bump is wrong

[frosty lake]

if there is no progression in what you are doing then it is pointless

[frosty lake]

Yes, this is much more difficult for you, because CIS modding is more developed than for her behavior

The anomaly community is still too young..

who is Juangster btw?

u think its pointless then let it be

If it loads on gamma ?

Yes

It does

Does it still need the TX15 ?

?

[chrome jungle]

i dont understand this

[next zinc]

The MK12 is replacing the TX15 right ?

Forget that!

[chrome jungle]

yea

[next zinc]

Let me download it first

Now I have time with the PC

ooh what weapon is that

i love troy handguard

@chrome jungle are u guys going to 3DSS this pack ?

[chrome jungle]

im not sure, we are dealing with some of the current problems first and there are 6 of em

neither Sed nor I know how to make 3dss

we'll see

[next zinc]

frosty have a good tutorial on that

[cinder bronze]

Hi guys, do you know if its possible to change a weapon's rate of fire based on weapon parts condition? like, in scripting, is there a way to 'call' a weapon's rate of fire and/or edit it? this is a general question, like i will take care of associating it to the weapon part durability, but i cannot find a way to edit a weapon's stats 'live' so to speak. ive looked into the weapon upgrades, but am not sure if i can implement something of the sort, because the upgrades are 'embedded' in the weapon...

Any ideas?

[chrome jungle]

Okay, i will check that out when i have time

[next zinc]

Can I give a sugestion ?

[chrome jungle]

Keep in mind that i work 12 hour shift so i literally have to trade off my sleep to work on the project

[next zinc]

Since u have the mk12 model, try to make it its own thing instead of a replace

I tried to 3dss it but its kinda confusing seeing tx15_m in the code but mk12_h in the files

[hardy hearth]

Is there any way to install Sidorovich script radio at different coordinates? Which chat should I ask this question in?

[brazen ravine]

if my video card is 4gb but textures says they require 4gb+ videocard, that means that I need to have 6gb video card because textures 4gb + 2gb gamma, or 4gb is ok?
Sorry idk how it works, trying to figure it out

[sour salmon]

Honestly bro just give it a try, what texture pack are you trying to use. Maybe you could find one that is lower resolution or requires less? Keep a backup option and give the 4gb+ a try, compare it with the backup option to see if your rig can handle it

I’m not expert but it’s better to test

[slow bolt]

any 4gb GPU is barely powerful enough to run gamma

and textures would make it even worse

[brazen ravine]

it was an example, you can use any numbers you want. Just want to know how this stuff works

[slow bolt]

it's not an exact science, but 4gb fits the parameters of 4gb+

[brazen ravine]

Hello, is it possible to make nato factions sell wp scopes? if yes which files should I modify?

[faint sable]

Probably starting with the trade files and seeing their setups

Most trade files are in folders named trade

Probably can add entries of wp scopes to the nato sellers like that

[arctic forge]

any tutorial/framework on how to make quests or tasks

[ashen hatch]

so I should add the WP preset up there?

[faint sable]

Since it included that preset, look into that preset path and add the wp scopes names to it

[velvet thunder]

Using a MK18 Mjolnir mod that seems to be missing some textures on the buffer tube and the muzzle brake (or suppressor) Is there any good way to fix this?

[naive snow]

Make sure the texture came as part of the mod, otherwise get another mod

[velvet thunder]

I think that's the issue precisely, the textures don't exist here. Other guys on the mod page are complaining of the same issue.

I'm not sure where it would be trying to grab it from, I was thinking it might be easier to simply make my own?

And as it pretains to grabbing another mod, I wouldn't know what other mod is required here. I have all the dependencies listed.

[naive snow]

Mod author probably forgot to package it

[velvet thunder]

😭

[naive snow]

If the person didn't make the model themselves, you could try to find the source of the gun file and grab the textures from there yourself

[velvet thunder]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/mk-18-mjolnir-marksman-rifle-redux

Well no surprise it's from EFT

[faint sable]

You need bas 2022

It uses bas 2022 textures combined with it

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1100689401966755870

[velvet thunder]

Hmm, does it need to be overwriting all the stuff? Or replacing the old BaS?

[faint sable]

Actually idk why it uses BAS textures tbh, it should use all just EFT but yea that’s the fix

Check the pins of juans thread for the bas 2022

[velvet thunder]

Ah man you're the bomb

Thank you

[faint sable]

I was planning to redo it entirely since I kind of am the tarkov boy

But juans does use some bas 2022 on his guns

[velvet thunder]

Honestly seems easier to create two small little textures than it is to install fuckin all of bas 2022 over top of my working gamma install

That I've already heavily modded and gone about 50 hours into the campaign of

So I am concerned lol

[faint sable]

Really if you check your console it gives an error texture path, you technically just need that one texture path to fix it

[velvet thunder]

😮

[faint sable]

[velvet thunder]

Thank you pimps

[faint sable]

Yea if you go in debug and equip it then quickly hit console keybind it should show a red text texture error then the path it needs, simply find that texture in the bas 2022 mod and just take that texture so you don’t need to download it all for one texture fix

[celest forge]

You clearly don't

If you did, like I have when I made the mod, you would have the textures

[velvet thunder]

You're absolutely right

I misread the dependencies but all is well now

[velvet thunder]

as a side note, the mod is wonderful 🙂

so im making a DLTX world model to replace the m209 ammo for m203 and i came across this

anyone knows what this "buck_shot" thing does? is it similar to like shotgun buckshot or something? if it is maybe we can do a 40mm dragon breath round

this is original m209 config from vanilla btw

[teal compass]

I think it just determines how many pellets will a ammo shoot

its generally for buckshot

idk if it will work on m203 but u can try

[chrome jungle]

the 40mm rounds have way different trajectory compared to 12 gauge, do you know where to change that by any chance?

is ammo decrafting parameters (when we get parts from ammo) editable in MCM?
i am happy to go into configs editing if it will be required 🙂

[misty mulch]

not mcm.

you have to directly edit the config files that govern what parts you get out of the ammo

to be clear: MCM options are limited to what the mod author decided to put in MCM

[misty mulch]

the file(s) you would want to edit are in your GAMMA folder\mods\G.A.M.M.A. Arti Recipes Overhaul\gamedata\configs\parts

• parts_ammo.ltx for vanilla ammos
• parts_ammo_bas.ltx for BAS ammos

[dusky cave]

o,thanks a lot. i was looking in" Wildkins's Ammo Parts on Hover" so i was in completely wrong place)

[misty mulch]

syntax is:

[section name of ammo]:parent section(optional)
part = item_1, number of item_1, item_2, number of item_2

e.g. this section:

[ammo_5.45x39_fmj]:part_defaults
parts = casing_r5,2,powder_2,2,bullet_r5,2

means:

• This entry edits ammo_5.45x39_fmj (aka 5.45 x 39mm FMJ)
• This entry should use the settings defined under [part_defaults], except for the extra parameter listed below
• Each item should break down into
  • 2 casing_r5
  • 2 powder_2
  • 2 bullet_r5

remember to make backups

now go have fun

[dusky cave]

thanks a lot for explanation

I have 1 more question: should I put salvage = 1 if I want same ammo parts every time I decraft a bullet?

[misty mulch]

no idea ngl

would have to read the ammo maker script to figure that out

[dusky cave]

it is all good. I got the result exactly as I wanted. Now I can decraft 150 5.45 ammos and craft them back into 150 ammos 100% of time. No randomization

thx a lot

very satisfying ❤️

[misty mulch]

fyi - back up your edited files (ideally, just copy them to a new mod entirely), because each time you update GAMMA your edited files will get overwritten and replaced with the original ones

Hi!
I'm trying to disable DOF effect down sights.
I set all sliders in SSS -> Weapon DOF tab to zero, I also unchecked all checkboxes.
I set r2_dof_enable to off
I removed all instances of zoom_dof and reload_dof in weapon configs completely
I still have this effect on some weapons. I've attached an example using wpn_thompson_m1a1 and wpn_thompson_1921. I chose them as examples, because they're defined in the same config and wpn_thompson_1921 is inherited from wpn_thompson_m1a1. At least, there's line

Currently I'm using unmodified GAMMA for testing, so there shouldn't be any issues with other mods

[misty mulch]

Tell us what you did then. Even better, upload your edited file + tell us what edit you made

[calm kernel]

Thanks

Damn I hate that the game is crashing on localization change

Is it fixable somehow?

[subtle dew]

I apologize, it might actually work, but I couldn't get it to work.

1. I opened the file mod_system_THAP_Rework.ltx with a text editor.

2. I tried to find my current armor and replace it with a random set for testing.

3. I then replaced everything with, for example, actor_hud_duty_skat9. I did this because I wasn't sure of the exact name of my armor, so I simply replaced everything to see if anything changed.

I'm not very experienced with modding, so I'm sorry I said it didn't work too soon.

[misty mulch]

hit enter early. The actual problem is this final one: which file did you replace/edit? where was it?

[subtle dew]

D:\GAMMA\mods\G.A.M.M.A. Hands Legs Models Swap\gamedata\configs

[subtle dew]

and then i edit this file "mod_system_THAP_Rework"

[misty mulch]

ok. you saved yes? and are testing it on a new game/debug map spawn as well?

[subtle dew]

Yes, I pressed save.

No, I only tested it on my current save file.

Now I'm playing again on the file I backed up, the previous, unmodified version.

[misty mulch]

cos uhhh Works On My Machine

[misty mulch]

Did you check to see if the suit you wanted to change, is ACTUALLY listed in that file? Did you test with specifically one of the suits that is altered by that file?

Because I just did (tried the merc_jackal_outfit) and it works.

[subtle dew]

So, I wanted to change the Mercenary exo suit to the Mercenary B5M armored suit. Unfortunately, I didn't know the exact names in this file, so I initially tried actor_hud_duty_skat9.

Maybe this could be the problem.

[misty mulch]

you are changing the output, the only thing you changed was "which arms file should i display for this armor"

[misty mulch]

use the debug spawner menu to figure out the proper section names (aka "item ID") of the two suits you're interested in - the one you want to change, and the one you want to change it to

then search the mod_system_THAP_Rework.ltx file and see if the suit you want to change is in there enclosed in brackets

[misty mulch]

to be explicit all entries are in the format

![section_ID_of_the_armor_you_want_to_alter]
player_hud_section            = hud_section_you_want_it_to_use_for_the_arms

[subtle dew]

First of all, thank you so much for your time, I will test it right away.

items_food and items_drugs. HOWEVER I strongly encourage you to make all edits with DLTX, since several of these items are overwritten with DLTX configs that will "beat" whatever edits you make directly to the LTX file anyway

My DLTX guide

also cos a copy of items_drugs.ltx is not in GAMMA, it is part of the Anomaly unpacked basegame files

and e.g. BHS in GAMMA makes all its edits to drugs with DLTX

[lament current]

ah that makes alot of things i didnt understand make sense haha

[violet aurora]

hi can someone make a volumetric moving fog

[steady citrus]

Hey, what are the coordinates for the ghillie net? I wanted to change the graphics but I can't seem to locate it... currently, these are the coordinates I have. ;Category: Outfits (Medium)

![ghillie_outfit]
icons_texture = ui\ui_icon_ghillie

inv_grid_width = 2
inv_grid_height = 3
inv_grid_x = 38
inv_grid_y = 9

I wanted to add such a graphic

[void otter]

Can I just edit the guillie suit model to overwrite the Gorka Mod and the THAP

And make the ghillie have like backpack weight

Is it possible at least?

[cyan quarry]

where is the location of stats file for major part of gamma guns?

[void otter]

C:\GAMMA\mods\G.A.M.M.A. Large Files\gamedata\meshes\anomaly_weapons

[void otter]

Depends on what gun you want just write the gun name something like wpn_{gunnyouwant}

[misty mulch]

Scattered across multiple LTX and DLTX files

[cyan quarry]

was trying to edit m98b stats

[cyan quarry]

godsend

ty

[misty mulch]

Yeah you absolutely want to use your own DLTX override for that

[void otter]

also you can edit the ammo damage

[void otter]

can you help me with the ghillie suit

[cyan quarry]

it will affect gun damage? i thought it was just for convenience

[void otter]

of course

[misty mulch]

Damage per shot = gun damage (hit_power) * bullet damage multiplier (k_hit)

[cyan quarry]

ty ty

[misty mulch]

Not with the time I have atm

[void otter]

When you are free can you help me make the ghillie suit have +carry weight when I equip it ?

[cyan quarry]

cant find ltx file tho

not through mo2, by windows search nor notepad++ search

like, there are some weapon ltx stat files, around 10-15

out of hundreds

[void otter]

what gun do you like to edit?

[cyan quarry]

m98b/.338 lapua

the ammo would be better

[void otter]

wpn_ammo_338_lapua_magnum

you tring to edit this

this is thm

its a texture

[cyan quarry]

all stats in zzzzz file

figured

but thats fed, not lapua

💀

[misty mulch]

weapons_ammo.ltx

The config filenames are not always straightforward

And you might need to find the BAS ammo config actually

[cyan quarry]

holy mother of god

[misty mulch]

The actual foolproof search is "find in file for .xml files for item name" -> read xml string id -> find in file in .LTX files for the string id to find the section

[misty mulch]

Check anomaly modding book for outfit config params, link is pinned

[naive snow]

To have either properly working, you need to add and launch them through your MO2 so you have the right file virtualization going. Then you can look up in your Anomaly folder and have everything going through the .ltx or .xml

[misty mulch]

I kick it old school and just search GAMMA/mods, then use MO2 file search to double-check the winner. I do this because N++ runs a LOT faster if you don't launch it through MO2

But this way does require an extra step and it helps if you already have some familiarity with the modpack

[steady citrus]

I can't change the texture ghillie enters coordinates and most importantly gives it all the highest priority and still the game reads old graphics I can't change the texture ghillie enters coordinates and most importantly gives it all the highest priority and still the game reads old graphics. I have mod kvma but it has a lower priority than my rework

ive imported a model from KVMAs hd models realism to blender with the appropriate plugin, and have utilized assets from other OGF's to kitbash a custom loner. how can i export it now as its own ogf? i want to replace an existing suit visual ingame (i can handle xml editing just fine, but am new to blender).

[loud bone]

does someone have the modified omf editor? and ogf editor?

❤️ trying to make 3dss patches

[fair canopy]

Why modified?

I use whatever I found online

[loud bone]

there's no "tools" function to change bone id names in the one from github

[faint sable]

In blender you can edit the names though and in the omf editor

That’s how I changed my bone names, not sure if you meant naming or actually the IDs

[flat aurora]

basically how do i take all this shit and make it apart of one ogf file

[fair canopy]

I just changed it through blender

[faint sable]

Yea I just do it via blender and edit the omf it uses and change the bone to a lens bone or whatever I am using

Easiest way to do 3dss support

https://youtu.be/xk_P5NZkeSw?si=65AVp6C7O2t2QIc-

[faint sable]

I only done guns before but ive ported them to different ogfs and anims before, guessing it may be the same for these type. You have to use one ogf for the setup, then for the parts you wanna join with the ogf in mind, they need to have the ogf skeleton removed and added onto the ogf you wish to edit specifically

So armature and bone needs to be connected to the main ogf skeleton, then exported

[arctic bough]

Hey guys! Does someone know where most of A-Life systems are, code-wise? I’m really willing to read it just for learning how they did it.

[flat aurora]

this is honestly my first time ever using blender and im tryna get a good hang on it cause id love to start making more of these kitbashes. i appreciate the response mate :))

[faint sable]

Now idk if my response is factual or not, I only ever done gun ports and porting parts and gun attachments to different skeleton setups and omfs and anims, but I also worked on models before for npcs and I don’t think it’s extremely different

Bones probably aren’t the same between guns and npc models though

[flat aurora]

fuckkkk i might have to pay someone to do this, its gonna take a long time to learn this

wait nvm im watching a modding tutorial for weapons that covers this exact thing lmao

[flat aurora]

should i follow the same process for exporting, unticking both "export motions" and "Texture Names from Image Paths" or should i leave those ticked since its a npc model not a gun

[faint sable]

Yea

It needs to be cs/cop and untick the boxes

[queen crescent]

I managed to add the NAGL laser to one of the guns I would like to add it to, but i'm missing the red dot on my screen. checked the LTX but having a hard time finding it, can anyone point me in the right direction?

[faint sable]

In blender, the laser dot is actually a mesh

So you need to add the mesh dot alongside the laser beam

Check a bas gun with a laser attachment and clicking y on the world you can see the dot beam

[queen crescent]

Ah nice! I mised that! will do, thanks.

[summer stream]

https://tenor.com/view/navalny-навальный-качает-headshake-gif-22333661

[faint sable]

[summer stream]

finally people are learning to do it cs/cop

instead of SoC

[faint sable]

Idk I always did mine on cs cop

[summer stream]

i did on SoC since i didnt think much of it

[fair canopy]

What is the actual difference?

[summer stream]

difference being :

SoC has less weights on the model and less smooth(i think)
CS/CoP allows more weights on one vertex, more smooth(i think)

[flat aurora]

IT WORKED! super excited, gonna practice more and make more suits and stuff

[faint sable]

[loud bone]

kAR98k pu scope 3dss

trying to get this shit to work

[faint sable]

oh good luck for pu 3dss

tbh I forgot how I did my pu scopes

think you need the original hud, then a separate PU hud

[loud bone]

couldnt i just rename the og hud(copy paste rename) and edit it for PU?

[faint sable]

nah it's a special setup

it needs the wpn_scope setup

so you make one of the original gun, then a PU hud for the 3dss

[loud bone]

ill be so real im new to this and have no idea what that means but im working towards getting better.

and the kar in gamma is broken and not 3dss

i got it working now i just need 3dss

[teal compass]

frosty u have a 3dss guide right

[faint sable]

So, instead of giving it a Lens bone, you don't change that bone, you keep the wpn_scope bone

[teal compass]

[faint sable]

I do yea

[loud bone]

im using frosty's guide

[faint sable]

but it doesn't cover Pu 3dss setup

[teal compass]

I think that should work for pu too though

is it totally different

[faint sable]

nah it needs the wpn_scope bone

[loud bone]

gurkler is frosty? oh okay sick, so frosty

[faint sable]

it doesn't use a lens scope

[teal compass]

ah

[loud bone]

in your video

[teal compass]

[loud bone]

the beginning shows like the omf and ogf editors

but yours are modified

and i have no idea how to operate blender as far as bones go

[faint sable]

the pins in this thread have all the stuff you need for omfs and ogfs and blender addons

[loud bone]

❤️ i have the blender addons

bone groups doesnt show bones tho???

[faint sable]

that green skeleton bar shows the bones when clicked on

then each yellow triangle has a specific vertex group which is the bone naming

[loud bone]

OOOOHHHH oh my god thank you

[faint sable]

like this one has bullets2 and magazine

each has a bone setup for the omf

[loud bone]

yes i see now 😄

thank you so much

my brain just grew by 75%

[faint sable]

specifically for a PU scope, you can't use my guide the same way for the setup, you need to make one HUD, naming it just the original wpn_kar_hud.ogf then making a PU hud, wpn_kar_pu_hud.ogf.

the PU scope must use wpn_scope for the LENS hider, then making the config edit to display that.

in the w_ltx for the kar, you need to give it a specific PU addon setup like the w_type63 has on mine

then the mod_system needs to path to that, but making it use the 3dss lens scope PU setup

[teal compass]

I added a pu scope to ks23 without noticing all that

I gave it a different bone for lenshider or something

[faint sable]

think it's for these specific guns, idk it's just how athi showed me how to do it when my lens hider wasn't working

maybe he can just use my 3dss guide as showed

[teal compass]

damn this is specific weapons then

[faint sable]

I know when I did the Gewehr I needed a pu hud with it

same for the svts and avt

and type63

but maybe kar doesn't

[teal compass]

interesting

[faint sable]

@fair canopy how does the PU setup work

for 3dss

you know more

[loud bone]

in order to make a new ogf, i simply can rename the specific bones etc correct? (ill watch your guide again too)

and then merge the meshes.

[faint sable]

yea try my guide first and see if it works like that

[loud bone]

will do

[loud bone]

so for omf editor and bones how would i go about that

wait nvm, u said use blender

[faint sable]

yea for editing the bone name for the ogf itself you do it via blender, for the OMF itself when maing the _3dss.omf edit you just click the OMF itself and rename the bone like my guide displays

[faint sable]

if it's LTX edits you can just use system save in debug mode and hit F5 to see real time changes

but if it's actual ui dds you need to reload each time I believe

[fair canopy]

like for the scope?

[faint sable]

yea corcor was trying to do a kar 3dss pu scope

since you know more about it than I do thought you'd help them on it

but I was thinking pu scope was different setup than other 3dss scopes, but yukiz said they did the pu scope just fine normally like my 3dss guide was, so idk

[fair canopy]

you would set it up like i did with the mosin, using scope section

i think the config is in the readded guns mod i did that i never updated

[teal compass]

[faint sable]

if we have lasers from bas, could we potentially make flash light attachments using the same setup, or is it impossible to do

I was kind of wondering about how it works

[quartz hill]

what are the full file names for both

might be that one of the other scripts in sota ui is patching some utils_ui functions so it seems like it is overriding

you can check whether the file is overriding/being overriden in either mod's conflicts tab

load order only affects what version of a file will overwrite ones from other mods

but for scripts it doesn't matter what they are called most of the time, they can patch other scripts as they want

[calm kernel]

How do I change the chances to spawn with addons on weapon for NPCs?

[lament garnet]

hello, anyone familiar with lua that can help me? been trying to make a small change to autolooter to loot weapon parts that are recipe materials and I got it to work on loose parts in inventories but I cant get automatic striping to work correctly heres what i have been trying:

if config.strip_weapon == strip_weapon_options.all then
zzzz_arti_jamming_repairs.act_fieldstrip(wpn:id())
elseif config.strip_weapon == strip_weapon_options.usable_parts then
for part_section, part_con in pairs(parts) do
local is_recipe_material_wep2 = zzz_craft_use_in_tooltip_mcm and is_not_empty(zzz_craft_use_in_tooltip_mcm.getCraftableItems(part_section:section())) -- prillan added
if not string.find(part_section, "barrel")
and part_con >= config.usable_weapon_part_condition_treshold
and zzzz_arti_jamming_repairs.is_part(part_section)
or is_recipe_material_wep2 then -- prillan added or...
zzzz_arti_jamming_repairs.act_fieldstrip(wpn:id(), part_section)
end
end
end

So I added two lines one that should check if the part is a recipe material and one that makes it take it if it is, but I get an error and crash with this log:

FATAL ERROR

[error]Expression : <no expression>

I know the error is my added line but I cant figure out why. Any help appreciated.

nwm figured it out.

[tepid bear]

hello, I was wondering what mod was managing the inventory ? I would like to take a look at it and see if I can change a thing or two

[misty mulch]

which aspect of the inventory? the sorting, the UI, the item info?

(i mention those as examples because all 3 of those are separate mods)

[tepid bear]

oh damn

well I think the UI

the whole rendering items in the inventory part

[misty mulch]

...like, the icons?

that's not a modded system that's just... icons

[tepid bear]

well the way it sorts everything and all

[misty mulch]

Sorting is managed by the Sorting Plus mod

[tepid bear]

so actually the sorting

okay thanks

I'm wondering where the perf hit comes from

[misty mulch]

there's a massive perf hit if you use either the "highlight junk/fav" or "icon on junk/fav items" options, and you mark a lot of shit as junk or as favorited items

it's why by default none of those options are turned on in mcm

in gamma anyway

[tepid bear]

yeah they're off for me

but having the game hang every time I open my inventory is a bit annoying

[misty mulch]

well how much shit do you have in your inventory

this is just an anomaly engine issue - loading invs with a TON of items, causes a lot of lag

[tepid bear]

a couple things

[misty mulch]

it is in fact a good thing, as the game has a hard cap on the number of items spawned in the entire save file

treat the lag as a sign that you need to sell some shit.

[tepid bear]

aight

not store ?

[misty mulch]

no

[tepid bear]

huh

I have two full stashes

:3

[misty mulch]

having a hideout with lots of stashes filled with items, can cause performance issues just by being near it, in the worst cases

you have to free up those IDs

you don't want to just delay the problem to "now it lags when i open the stash"

[tepid bear]

oh it already lags I hoard a lot of shit 😭

[misty mulch]

better get rid of things

[tepid bear]

i'm sure there'd be a way to optimise stuff but hell if I know how to

[misty mulch]

and they would almost certainly be engineside edits

[tepid bear]

yeah

[misty mulch]

you could look at what e.g. Serious' Workbench Optimization does

but that doesn't get around the 65k item ID limit

in fact we kind of rely on there being lag, to unsubtly tell people to start deleting items

cos there's otherwise, no warning about the item ID limit + the resulting crash

[tepid bear]

oh so it bricks you ? how does that work ?

when there's 65k items in inventories the game crashes ?

[drifting moat]

When you reach the limit and the game tries to spawn a new item you crash. When that happens just boot up the game and delete a few stuff.

[tepid bear]

Huh I see

[drifting moat]

Well not just item, but stalker, monster anything with an ID

[tepid bear]

so that's engine side ?

is there a way to check how much I'm at ?

[drifting moat]

The Id limit is engine side yes.
The lag (at least inventory opening lag) could be fixed client side with Lua, but it would be best to optimize it server side.

[tepid bear]

that sounds really interesting ngl

maybe I could try to look into it, I'm sure I'd learn something

[drifting moat]

You can check via one of the debug HUDs, but you would need to enable debugging mode first

[tepid bear]

i have it enabled already

[misty mulch]

to be clear it's normally really fucking difficult to hit the 65k limit. it usually only happens if ppl crank up NPC spawns like crazy (or play warfare which does the same thing), have mods that add more items to NPC loadouts, or hoard like a motherfucker, or all three

the non-modded-GAMMA cases i've seen of ppl hitting 65k id limit have been:

• guy who's filled up 20+ of the 400kg stash boxes at one hideout, with broken fucking gun parts
• guy who somehow started the game at ~2000+ NPCs spawned and didn't notice anything wrong with an FPS of 15

[drifting moat]

By all means go for it, but know that it's a complex problem and requires understanding a few things (technicals about how the game works Lua and engine side too). If you've the affinity have fun with it!

[tepid bear]

I mean I really wanna learn shit about engine programming and I figure an existing codebase would be better

[tepid bear]

oh 20+ ? I'm nowhere near that :D

[misty mulch]

the lag is its own warning sign, it's not an invitation to try to crash out your game

[tepid bear]

yeah ofc

[misty mulch]

but it goes to show how hard it actually is, in regular play, to hit that limit

[drifting moat]

This engine wasn't writtwn by the best engineers. Maybe another project would be better. I've heared that serious sam's engine is very well written and is open source

Or Quake 3 IIRC is open source too and extremely well written.

[tepid bear]

I guess my second choice would be openmw

[celest forge]

Tbf they put that ID limit because for what they made their engine, reaching that was a literal impossibility

[tepid bear]

it's just that I like stalker so much I would wanna contribute you know

[drifting moat]

Go ahead and just start making stuff. I suggest starting with Lua first since it's less of a headache to get that running right off the bat. Very cool stuff could be made with only Lua too.

[tepid bear]

true,

though I do know cpp more than lua lol

[drifting moat]

True. They weren't anticipating ppl to play for hundreds of hours on 1 save or have 1000000 mods active at the same time. If we look at it from that perspective it's kinda impressive. But I know a lot of ppl have already worked on optimizing the engine

[tepid bear]

yeah that's fair

my guess is that the ID limit is not a low hanging fruit ahah

[drifting moat]

Go ahead and try with the engine first then. I think I did basically the same too. Made 1 small Lua mod and then an engine mod

[tepid bear]

I see, thanks ! would you have a recommendation of a mod I could make to get started ?

[drifting moat]

Nope. Ppl in the anomaly discord had a discussion about it. One guy said he'll just try and modify the type of the variable(s) that handle it, but it crashed the engine. Of course he tried a bit harder than just changing a type, but it still wasn't a super huge effort just a potshot at it basically.

[drifting moat]

What are things that bother you or that make you think could be improved in the game?

[tepid bear]

oh I talked about it today ahah

the fact that you can dodge the pseudogiant strike with a well timed jump, but only when you're going up

I would like to make it so you can take less damage when you're in the air but make it consistent

[drifting moat]

Oh interesting. Now I would have 0 idea where to look for that. I think it's not even a designed mechanic, but rather a "bug".

[tepid bear]

yeah lol

might not be ideal for a mod

[drifting moat]

Modding this game can do wonders for coding skills btw. You become very good at finfing and debugging things. Plus understanding complex (mostly bevause of bad design) code. I know I've learned valuable stuff that I even used at work.

[tepid bear]

yeah i'm a compsci student and I realised I don't code nearly as much as I used to since I started my studies lol

I want to do side projects

and I feel like modding could be great lol

[misty mulch]

it'll teach you very fast about the values of writing in a way that's comprehensible for other people

in the sense that you will come across something you want to alter and the modder who did it, will have left no clues about how anything works

and you will cuss them out

[tepid bear]

yeah,,,

I love collaborative work

[drifting moat]

Brb talking to grandparents

[sour salmon]

so regarding item id limit, what happens to the stuff that stays unlooted in a dead npc body? does it still count towards the number

just out of curiousity

[tepid bear]

I think it would given what I understood

[misty mulch]

it does, until it despawns

[tepid bear]

okay my inventory lags less now indeed lol

[regal bolt]

i think there are a couple of issues with shading. I resolved the more major ones with this priority order... i know it's abysmal but everything looks half gamma half potato anomaly

i'm sure this mod order is wrong and would like to reorder priorities correctly?

if anyone can help i would appreciate it ❤️

[lilac idol]

someone sent me here

alright

not sure why but maybe try here https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1029824156289732649 or stalker chat

[misty mulch]

is this based on gamma?

the fact that you only have 25 mods tells me "no"

if you are trying to make your own Anomaly modpack, better to go to the Anomaly discord

yes

basically that
