[lilac vessel]

hud animation, i just replaced the omf file with my edit (with the same name)

[lilac idol]

you need to change the hands animations

unless you specifically want to change how the gun mechanisms (bolt, casings etc) move

[lilac vessel]

ohhh

alr thanks

[crude bay]

I sure hope there isn't already an addon for Toxic Air to change filters on a key press, because I just spent 10 hours going from zero knowledge to a small mod that does exactly that.

It automatically uses the highest condition Filter, It doesn't check for Quality at the moment so it won't prioritise Better Filters
The benefit is being able to do it on the move without openning your inventory and it also allows you to replace your current filter in one swoop instead of the two step process of removing it then inserting another

probably wasn't worth it

[ancient gate]

This might make me use toxic air again🤯

[crude bay]

at some point I would like to see if I can make it work with QAW as I haven't tested it at all but I don't think it works at all currently

[ancient gate]

That would be awesome

I couldnt enjoy toxic air because swapping a filter took way longer than it needed to😭

But with this it'll be like metro almost

Keep up the good work!🙏

[crude bay]

I'll release it proper soon™ hopefully with no crash causing bugs

[calm kernel]

Guys, am I right : this tier = X is the value that grok_teasure_manager uses to decide what to put into stash? Higher = lower chances to find this item in certain tier of stash, right?

[misty mulch]

yes. all stashes including white stashes have tiers, check the top of the treasure manager script to see how it works

[calm kernel]

Thx

[calm kernel]

@misty mulch What should I do to make new entries in grok_treasure_manager to spawn? I defined the tier of new items and added to the manager list, but can't make them actually spawn in stashes.

[calm kernel]

I also added already existing items in the game that stashes were lack of such as raisins or nuts, and I added 'em there this way :

raisins__1
raisins__2
...
nuts__1
nuts__2
...```
And still I don't see these items in stashes

But I managed to change vodka's spawn (red one) that I divided to pieces (used same approach as I did for raisins or nuts).
I can't get the pattern here

[drifting moat]

Even if it exists you had fun, learned something new and managed to implement a new feature by yourself. The time you spent on that is far from not worth it. Good job!

[calm kernel]

Oh. I found the issue. You need to define those variables in freaking grok_items_tier.ltx file. If you type tier = X somewhere in item's config it will do nothing at all. You won't find this thing in the stash. I added those to that .ltx and yoink. Also tried to make custom .ltx in same directory, but it did nothing as well.
Well, replacing the file is the way 😄

[misty mulch]

custom ltx wouldn't work unless you make the script read your custom ltx

can't just add config files - need to make sure a script file actually uses it

[main plover]

soo to add my own guns to stash drop would require just to add separate ltx with section
![possible_items]

aah no script need to read it nvm

[teal compass]

so we could only overwrite the whole file or change the script?

[main plover]

-- config
ini_treasure = ini_file("items\\settings\\grok_treasure_manager.ltx")
ini_treasure_vanilla = ini_file_ex("items\\settings\\treasure_manager.ltx",true)
ini_tiers = ini_file("items\\settings\\grok_items_tier.ltx")
local enable_debug = false

that's how script looks like so I think the ltx itself needs to be replaced sadly 🙁

[misty mulch]

or do an #include line or maybe DLTX it, but I'm less certain about how to DLTX mod-added configs

[main plover]

or create injection script but I am too stupid for that

But tools are not stupid

-- z_loot_injector.script

                local kind = ini_sys:r_string_ex(section, "kind") or "i_misc"
                
                -- FORCE TIER 2 (Common/Uncommon)
                -- This bypasses the need for 'grok_items_tier.ltx' entirely.

                local tier = 2 

                -- Create tables if they don't exist yet
                if not item_list[kind] then item_list[kind] = {} end
                if not item_list[kind][tier] then item_list[kind][tier] = {} end

                -- Add the item
                table.insert(item_list[kind][tier], section)
                count = count + 1
            end
        end
        printf("~ Loot Injector: Added %s items to [possible_items] pool.", count)
    end
end

I will test it

[quartz hill]

i wonder if a dltx with includes would work

[main plover]

any way to unlock random stashes? with debug?

No one in north sells information about stashes

[quartz hill]

you can run this ig
xr_effects.reward_stash(nil, nil, {})

[main plover]

Aight but how? run_script requires main function

[quartz hill]

run_string

or function executer

Where do I need to assign such entries of items to make them spawn in stashes?
Seems like I tried everything here and I still can't make those spawn... I even tried the valid_tem_sections.ltx file from Abobaly gamedata and added those __X items, heh. Still nothing.
Also tried to assign kind = i_food etc. in grok_items_tier that's being seen by grok_treasure_manager in case if it can't decide what is it and put it in right category of loot.

Maybe the 'kind=' approach might work somewhere else? I hope I don't need to make all those items with '__' manually after all...

[calm kernel]

Oh. Now I get it. I reduced spawn chances for ammo and now I finally found those fucking raisins and peanuts in my stashes...
I didn't know that it's so restricted. It was 5% vs 30% and now 5% vs 15%. I tested it on ~40 stashes and half of them were with x10 weight values (x10 loot pool), and I didn't find ANY of those items. But after I did a thing, here it is

The more you know...

[lilac vessel]

hey, i'm editing some animations and i cant get the hands and the weapon to match their position. i import both the ogf and omf for the gun and hands but the positions are always mismatched. the hands are below the gun, and i dont think adjusting it manually is the way to go. any help?

[main plover]

How you make it work you replaced treasure manager ltx and script or you managed to dltx/inject new items somehow?

[calm kernel]

I replaced the .ltx file. Couldn't make it work with custom file, so replacing is the way. hehe

[ancient gate]

So im changing around sounds for weapons right now, how would I find sounds for the following?

snd_shoot
snd_shoot_actor
snd_silencer_shot
snd_silencer_shot_actor

Im trying to find some 338 weapon sounds but not having the greatest luck

[fair inlet]

if you're asking where shoot sound collections are defined, then it's wpn_sniper_sounds.ltx and wpn_rifle_sounds.ltx

[ancient gate]

Thank you for the help 🙏

And I just want to say Im loving the new inventory sounds 🔥

[steep ember]

Hey guys! I saw a promise on Modb from a modder working on global NPC animations. Any info? Does anyone know anything? The only thing GAMMA needs (in my opinion) is fresh animations, otherwise the NPCs will walk like Michael Jackson.

[celest thorn]

How hard would it be to implement weapon-mounted-flashlights? Anyone already tried to work on this?

[summer stream]

BaS had them

but it didn't make any sense to have one

since that would require some more work so it would function like head-mounted flashlight

[quasi narwhal]

it's quite straightforward with scriptable attachments nowadays

I thought of making a mod for that once, you can even make laser pointers be attachable as well

but then half of BaS and other mods' weapons have that shit built into the weapon like a true pleb, so it wouldn't make much sense there unless you removed them from the weapons models

it's pretty cool cause with scripting you could make different tiers of flashlights, so it'd be easy to make cheap+shitty ones and expensive+good ones

apparently they even have a script_light just for attachments, so it's even easier lmao

[distant cloud]

hey i want to make the music less frequent, do u think it would work if i put some (10-20min) empty .ogg file converted from wav or mp3?

[calm kernel]

Sure

[distant cloud]

i did a script modifying and replacing original .ogg (adding from 10 to 40min (rnd) of silence at the end of every track)

[calm kernel]

👍

But you could just install AIMP or smth like this, put Stalker playlist inside and tweak the delay between tracks like I did, hehe

[distant cloud]

hmmm

first ever doing a mod haha

seemed simple and safe to proceed like that (i have good knowledge overall in coding)

[calm kernel]

Workaround like this more often used by people to fix constant sound effect spam in. Like Voiced Actor mod or Immersive Ambient/Audio Expansion mods, for example. Sometimes you might find that some sounds are appear way too often while you gaming and this approach with creating empty .ogg files helps a lot to deal with it

[distant cloud]

i take note if i want to push it further thx 🙂

[calm kernel]

Must-have thing if you playing with Voiced actor or Merc voice lines mods.

1. Voiced actor is spamming (russian voice especially) voice lines as savage, imo
2. Merc voice lines... you know what I mean if you played as Merc and stayed on their base for like 10 minutes 😄 😄

[distant cloud]

i tried playing as mercs and just stopped after 1hour lmao

i dont know when i play stalker i dont want to hear english all day long haha

[calm kernel]

Same actually. I always turning off these eng. voice lines mod

[misty mulch]

i think that was my first ever mod, altering the script files to make it so that the eng merc voice lines wouldn't play

[calm kernel]

I prefer hearing russian and some ukrainian in Zone. It feels much more organic

[calm kernel]

Hahaha. Nice

[leaden roost]

Question any good info sources to start modding stalker?

Im not new to modding but never modded for stalker (YET)

[misty mulch]

check the pins, tons of info there. however many of the discussions here are aimed at modding for GAMMA, which adds a lot of extra complexity to modding for Anomaly since you not only have to learn how to mod Anomaly, you ALSO have to learn how to manage 500+ mods worth of conflicts/patches/overwrites

[distant cloud]

is it possible to know wich .ogg file is actually playing while in game? (background music)

[crude bay]

I want to actually learn to mod more buts it's super daunting since I have no idea how many mods, patches and shit the thing I want to do is silently built on

Because 500 mods makes for a long ass boot time so if I cause crashes with my testing it takes ages to get back in

[naive snow]

You don't actually have to load your game/save each and every time, you can simply spawn in the debug start room which is super fast to do.

[crude bay]

It's more so the initial boot, the save loading isn't even that long

old ass SSD moment frankly

[naive snow]

If 40 seconds is all it's going to take to stop you from making your mod, it probably wasn't worth making in the first place

[crude bay]

When I have to guess 90% of the time because the info sucks balls and it crashes at the drop of a hat 40 seconds is a lot when it happens very frequently

[naive snow]

There's plenty of resources and valid information about, the anomaly server has tons of people willing to help in the mod codding channel and it's up to you to add in the necessary checks to avoid crashing. Everyone else does it, so it's really a

If you're not willing to commit the time to it, you didn't really want it in the first place. Simple as that

[summer stream]

true!

a lot of people are very helpful

[misty mulch]

or start with something really simple like config edits that you can easily check with debug save/load

[summer stream]

oh and we also have wiki to understand how to make such stuff

[misty mulch]

you can do a shit ton with just config edits/dltx

[summer stream]

plus ur DLTX guide

[naive snow]

Heck I started with doing stupid scope icons re-alignment fixes

[summer stream]

i started with models

that was my worst mistake i swear

[naive snow]

Models are pain, because you have to understand actual 3D softwares and workflows for making stuff. It's another layer of learning on top which is often too much and burns out new modders

[summer stream]

you know how funny that is

i wasted like 10-20 hours in blender

and i made my first patch for hands

which are pain to work with

now that got me in some bullshittery called textures

and lord i dont like it

i swear

[naive snow]

C0ck and balls torture right there. Really wanted to learn how to swim in the deep end huh

[summer stream]

Rightfully so, now back to modding with y'a

[summer stream]

[summer stream]

nein

i will go back to intervention

[naive snow]

Without context of what you're even trying to do it's hard to point you in a direction.
Like I said, the Anomaly modding channels are really useful and there's a lot of people there that are always willing to help like Tosox or Raven, did you even bother asking there?
The modding book has plenty of references and even script examples on the various engine calls and there's also troves of info if you just use the search function in the right discord channels

[misty mulch]

yeah it's way easier to help if we know what you're trying to do

and because "i want to make a new gun!" requires drastically different answers to e.g. "I want to make repair kits cheaper"

also cos some things that seem obviously nice to have, are stupidly difficult (e.g. new tasks, anything to do with editing the map) whereas some things that seem like they would be tricky, can be very technically simple to do (e.g. adding new area transitions)

[crude bay]

My next task is handling all the keybind options like double press, long press, modifiers.

I was unable to find anything in the book relating to it other than just a single press

I did try searching for it both here and Anomaly discord and it's possible I missed it but It was rather inconclusive on finding proper examples

I have figured out MCM for the most part just not how to handle said inputs properly

I have some semblance of how to do it using various other mods that use the same setting like QAW, Mags and FDDA

[sinful wasp]

don't do the discord:

it can trigger the bot and time you out because it assumes you're trying to post a link

[naive snow]

Ah I was wondering what had caught the bot on

Thanks oflin

[naive snow]

I was trying to send you this, before my timeout, but have a talk with Raven, he's talked about this in length

[crude bay]

Alright, Cheers

[misty mulch]

i overhauled the MCM documentation lmao, look at its github for how to use MCM keybinds

and yes the engine is jank af

[crude bay]

Yup just checked it now and it has exactly what I was looking for Cheers

Why didn't I look there in the first place

[calm kernel]

Blyat. How to do it!?
I was always starting new game/loading save for testing stuff

Oh I found it. Press F1 - F2 in main menu

[misty mulch]

just F2 in the main menu

don't need to press F1 even

you can also press F5 in debug menu to quickly save/reload with one keypress (this reloads all config files, which is helpful if you are making config edits)

[calm kernel]

You mean if you change smth in .ltx outside the game or configs of weapons in debug?

[misty mulch]

yup

change ltx -> save the file -> reload mo2 -> debug f5 in the game. sometimes if i'm changing e.g. trader profiles i need to force a trader restock through debug as well, but it's way faster than closing and restarting the game

[calm kernel]

Holy shit. This will speed up things by a lot

Heya. Is there a guide for making a simple mod that replaces player sounds like pain/taunts for GAMMA?

[quasi narwhal]

excuse me what

maybe my sarcasm detector is off but damn

[summer stream]

nah like seriously

the amount of time that SSD can be rewritten is limited

so i count hdd a bit more safer option

plus it's not that expensive

[quasi narwhal]

you're gonna have to use an SSD for like 10 years to hit its write cycles limit

• it doesn't have moving parts that can easily fuck up your stored data with a simple magnet or something like an HDD does

so i'd say SSDs are much safer than HDDs for sure, especially because reaching the write cycles limit won't re-write your data -- it'll just go into read mode

[summer stream]

ehhh with how i use it

no

ssd is gonna die quicker

ive never seen a trader sell more than 200 ammo

You could try lowering trader restock cycles to 24 hours.

Otherwise you'll probably have to poke around the GAMMA Economy scripts and manually edit some numbers

if not possible i would just do 1 screen so its not just black screen with red text

well then idk

u can try add it into gamma but I cant say it will work

[verbal siren]

Just drop it on the ground and it'll get deleted after some time. Otherwise I recall illish made a mod called "burn shit" or something like that, where you can toss stuff into the fire and it'll get deleted from the world.

I do it all the time. I leave a pile of garbage in a corner somewhere where npcs can't pick it up and go about my way. When I return, it's no longer there. I don't remember which mod does it, or if it's a vanilla Anomaly thing, but stuff disappears same as corpses.

[calm kernel]

What is the file name of mod that send these messages?
I want make some changes in it

[verbal siren]

Ah, I get it. But I think there might be an engine obstacle, seeing how two guys made similar mods, and none of them lets you annihilate items with a key press.

[simple scaffold]

nah, probably no one thinks you would want to delete a giant pile of stuff.

[misty mulch]

download the linked file, open it up, read the files contained in the ammo folder inside

Ooh okay thank you

[simple scaffold]

might be a slight performance hit with dropping tons of stuff on the ground. you could stuff it in a rando stalker corpse instead. if you are already using debug spawn a sim bandit and kill it via the debug.

or you could use these to make your companion into an easy to use mobile stash the first lets you access their inventory without needing to have them in reach so you don't need to worry about getting yourself over encumbered and unable to move to them when you pick up all your stuff. the second lets companions carry unlimited weight. although it doesn't work with the put all button. you will have to click every thing into their inventory.

I was using an exploit for carrying a ton of stuff. There was a container that you could open from inside your inventory and put things in. Then, when you saved and loaded, its weight went from 230 kg (or whatever) to 0. When you moved to a new base, you could open the container and move your things back in.

there's already the anomalous stash as a semi-immersive way to transport stuff long distances

Oh

Awasome

[teal compass]

yeah just add a bone

athi also has a guide on 3dss scope

[sonic bolt]

some guns have wpn_scope bones that are also good enough to be renamed as a lens bone

[summer stream]

please don't

that can result in broken anims

[sonic bolt]

I was told this was fine...

[summer stream]

if you add/delete a bone

animation can just break apart

and don't load

[sonic bolt]

will renaming do the same thing?

[summer stream]

yes

it could do that too

just add a bone and add that bone to the animation

please its very easy to do

[sonic bolt]

ogey

[fair canopy]

Only when the person doesn't know what they're doing

Adding bones also breaks anims. I've never had an anim break on me when renaming

[summer stream]

i don't recommend it anyways

[fair canopy]

Idk. I've done thousands of ogfs and I can recommend it just fine so

[summer stream]

add bone, import omf
add the new bone to each animation
done

[summer stream]

i still respect your opinion on it

but i think that adding new bone is more recommended

[fair canopy]

Only time I've seen an issue is when a model is weighted, but that's so insanely uncommon

[summer stream]

even though it could be more complicated

[summer stream]

there is?

[fair canopy]

But then there's issues in both cases of renaming or adding bones

[summer stream]

did u even saw one?

[fair canopy]

Blindside's iirc. I had an issue with his anims due to the weights

[summer stream]

lord have mercy

[teal compass]

both works really

[fair canopy]

Yeah when it has no bone to rename I just ad it

[dusky cave]

Hi boys. Is there any way to make all stalkers in the zone Legends? through MCM or by downloading external mods?
For what? Legends tend to have better weapons, it will be more fun going through red forest fighting people with machine guns))

[next zinc]

how do I add a bone ? 😅

[teal compass]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOhIR-AhXp0

[next zinc]

thank !

[teal compass]

it should work also for adding any other bones

as long as the bone u add is attched to wpn_body it will be fine

it could be different base on weapons tho, eg machine guns

[next zinc]

I need to add the lens bone

[fair canopy]

if you add the lens bone and the animations get fucked up, rebake the animation

[summer stream]

that means add lens to the animation

which is easy

load the animation in

[next zinc]

https://youtu.be/dRw_bFaGN2c?si=FK6r1Y5n94gFpLTU

as asthi says in this one

[summer stream]

then select every bone via CTRL+A and play every animation, putting keyframe at start and end via I

done

[fair canopy]

this is something new i learned recently

[next zinc]

shit

[teal compass]

well this one suits better

https://files.catbox.moe/tl0i5z.mp4

I had this short vid b4

shows exactly how to add a bone

[broken lake]

Guys, if i change time factor to speed up the game for like 1h daytime am i gona break the game?

[keen stag]

how hard/is it possible to make a single artifact that switches between two "profiles", where it provides different resistances

[misty mulch]

with scripts, I was told Anything Is Possible

the "switch" could probably just be handled by making two versions of the arti for the two profiles, and then you just delete + respawn between when some condition is met

[next zinc]

What would happen if I reattach the parts of my gun to the bones a gun that have the lens bone and use the same animations ?

My ref gun is frosty's tx15

I would just go and reattach it to 3dss tx15 bones

[teal compass]

they all gone when aiming

also why would u attach gun parts to len bone anyway

except len

[next zinc]

I will just attach the len

To len

[teal compass]

what

I am not getting what u try to do

[next zinc]

Tbh Im really confused about adding a scope to a new gun

[teal compass]

there is the juan's guide

[next zinc]

When it comes to sniper scoped

[teal compass]

which tells exactly what to do

[next zinc]

Juan attaches a red dor thst goes to wpn body

Om

Ok*

Easy

[teal compass]

yeah

[next zinc]

But sniper scopes, how do they work ?

[teal compass]

everything except len goes to wpnbody or respective bones

[next zinc]

Most of the guns I see they have a wpn_scope

[teal compass]

len goes to len bone

[teal compass]

they dont really work

and cant be used for lens bone

so people change that to lens

[next zinc]

Yeah, but my ref gun doesnt have the lens bone, so my gun doesnt have it either

[teal compass]

then add one

[teal compass]

ok I read it again, did u mean to just assign the whole gun to the same animation with lens bone?

if thay then yes it will work

[next zinc]

Yep

Thats it

[teal compass]

I somehow read it as assign gun parts to lens bone

[teal compass]

then that works

[next zinc]

[next zinc]

Awasome

[teal compass]

just the others alreayd did the work for u

which is good

[next zinc]

So what I have to do is delete the bones from.my gun, pick a ref gun with lens bone and then attach mine to its bones right ?

[teal compass]

dont even have to delete

just attach the mesh to the desired bones one

and then export that bone one

the old bone one will be ignored anyways when exporting

[next zinc]

Ooooh

And then just import the bone to the armature ?

[teal compass]

but yes u can delete it

just import the new ref gun and attach to it

export ur gun with the new bone

done

actually, you can take a look at mesh culling. afaik crows are ignored, maybe you can adapt it to shadow rendering.

[balmy sand]

If I want to remove an item from this list, do I just delete the line?

in zcp

is this the right way to do it

[quartz hill]

looks it might crash if it tries to spawn from an empty table

[crude bay]

whatever uses the tables would likely need to be modified

or just put one random thing into each of them

[quartz hill]

nil check would be enough i think

[main plover]

what is that file

[quartz hill]

smr_loot

[balmy sand]

yeah its the smr_loot file from zcp. just putting something random in there sounds like a good idea ill just do that

thankyou

[idle agate]

I don’t understand, even with those graphics there’s still bird shadows :(

[lilac ibex]

a) if you're lucky, it should be possible to use "no shadow" flag in SDK
b) if not, you have to edit the engine (check teh rendergraph n shit)

c) [evil hack] custom crow shader. xray isn't going to render shadows for translucent geometry

(c) is great for quick testing
(b) requires priceless time (and c++ book & coffee)
(a) may not work on dx9+

[idle agate]

Damn I’m not experienced enough with this to get at shaders or the engine itself but thank you very much for clearing things up!

I might just remove them altogether. Game looks insanely beautiful with just a few tweaks and addons but those bird shadows are driving me crazy

[vale sphinx]

Men's, help, how move status icons?

I think you need to set the required coordinates in the config file. The question is, how do I find this config file?

I apologize in advance for my bad English.

[idle agate]

Nevermind this, Gamma uses a mod for icons, if you’re using that you need to change it in the mod.

(In mcm on the right search for actor_status.script I think it’s in there)

The mod is called minimalist hud, alticons.script

[hexed fox]

@faint sable Is it cool if I throw together a quick dirty mod thing to change any green lasers to red from your modpack to better work with NVG's?

[faint sable]

You can yea, it’s quite easy to just swap out the colors, mainly did it for the laser itself since some use green or blue laser colors

[hexed fox]

Sweet. I'm using Paint.NET and changing the hue to -128 which seems to be working but I'd love to know if there's a hue value you'd recommend

[faint sable]

Id definitely use photoshop for it, but my way of doing it is using photopea on my browser, saving it as png or jpg then putting it into photoshop and using a nvidia dds setup specifically for dx8-11 compatibility process, but I believe paint also has dds support so either way works

But I also already have a laser color for red made

You just have to either rename it to the green naming then replace it or rename it via ogf hud editor

[hexed fox]

Oh yeah I could just do that :v

[faint sable]

Also if you use 3dss, athi has a red laser color dds and the color dot is red, that is the exact one I used

Either way should work just fine

[hexed fox]

[ember blade]

It feels like the x-ray logfile doesn't get updated all the time when the game is running—or if it does, it's updated... inconsistently. Does anyone know how to force the file to get updated?

[misty mulch]

it gets overwritten at the moment that you launch the game as the game creates a new one. i would not try to read it live. it is merely exactly the same as what gets printed in the in-game console (~ key)

which you can scroll, in game, with pgup/pgdn

[distant cloud]

hey do somedy knows if theres a file in original gamma list where i can change weather cycle probability?

[ember blade]

I'm aware it gets overwritten at launch, but it seems that when anomaly boots, it populates the logfile only sporadically until the game closes, at which point the file is finally written to again. As for using the console, that is unfortunate—sometimes I need to search, especially when sifting through a lot of repetetive logs.

[misty mulch]

my intuition is that "changing how the engine writes to the log file" would require some level of engine tweaks. i dunno, i work with config file modding

[ember blade]

Was moreso curious if theres a command i can run in debug to force the file write

[misty mulch]

afaik all console commands are listed in the modding book: https://anomaly-modding-book.netlify.app/docs/references/engine/console-commands

i can see a command for clearing the console and .log file but not one to force write

[misty mulch]

the problem is that weapon part degrading is stupid, overcomplicated, and random-chance based

armor degradation is a flat 7% of incoming damage after damage resistances. artis don't degrade at all unless they're perk artis anyway

reference this post re: weapon part degradation: #╭📖faq message

and no none of them are governed by a single file/config, you are looking at 3+ different systems

[keen stag]

my idea was like, some sort of day and night artifact that switches between an anti mutant profile and a traveling profile, it would have the same difference in stats, but the + and - would flip based on day/night on a clock
so like
+20% rupture resistance
-20% stamina regen
+600ml bleeding
+5kg carryweight
would become
-20% rupture
+20% stamina
-600ml bleeding
-5kg carry
something like that

idk how you would code it to switch based on time that seems like itd be wonky

[misty mulch]

yeah just go make two new artifact items, and then insert script fuckery to delete-and-spawn Profile 1 and another triggering condition to delete-and-spawn Profile 2

fun fact this is what is actually happening every time you attach/detach a scope on a gun

it whole ass deletes + spawns a new item, since the engine treats "gun" and "gun+scope" as two different items

[keen stag]

ahh

interesting

[misty mulch]

the progression setting only applies to overall gun condition, which is hidden and locked to 83%

for gamma you don't care about that at all

but read that FAQ post link for how weapon part degradation works

[misty mulch]

ok. but your answer to "is there a simple config edit i can do to change armor/artifact/weapon degradation?" is "no"

[prime olive]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/visual-ammo-counter-095 I don't understand how to make it work

[misty mulch]

it would be, considering that mod completely removes the need or ability to alter a gun's overall condition

they are almost certainly being changed via DLTX files, so just directly searching for repair.ltx is unlikely to get you what you want

Where can I see available functions? For example, I need to know the location of an object, but the publicly available one doesn't work (object.level_name). I know there's a lua_help file, but it doesn't have the functionality.

[fair inlet]

game object perchance?
they exist only on player's level

[ancient bridge]

I'm just running a loop from 1 to 65534 and checking if the object is at the current location. In theory, those that aren't should return nil and not pass through, while those that are at the location should pass through, but none of them do.

[fair inlet]

show the script I guess

[ancient bridge]

The problem is function RadiationZonesCorrectionForLevel, ran the function when on_game_load and now I'm trying actor_on_first_update

[fair inlet]

if rad zones are game objects then try using level.object_by_id(i) I guess
and remove level check obviously

[flat marten]

will my xml strings add to the existing mod's xml if I monkey patch?

[misty mulch]

i do not know what you mean by monkeypatch in this context, but you can just do this https://github.com/veerserif/gamma-dashboard/blob/main/xml_overwrites.md
it's either that, or use DXML to insert a new node https://github.com/themrdemonized/STALKER-Anomaly-modded-exes/blob/main/DXML.md

your use case sounds like it fits "case 1" for DXML which is very, very straightforward

[ancient bridge]

This didn't help, se_obj = level.object_by_id(i) is always nil, since "if se_obj" doesn't pass.

[flat marten]

thanks

[fair inlet]

it definitely returns objects on player level, check scripts like dark_valley_lamp_remover or release_restr_in_x16, maybe you did it incorrectly
if looping through game objects doesn't work for rad zones then I can't help though

[ancient bridge]

Rad zones must be objects. Previously, I used se_obj = sim_object(sim, i), and that returned the required fields after checking their names. The problem is, I can't figure out how to determine what level an object is on. Thanks for the tip, I'll go check it out.

[scenic lodge]

[flat marten]

How to monkeypatch this? Couldn't find anything on that in anomaly book
On the left side monkey patch in the making
I called my patch file zzz_modname.script

[simple scaffold]

its not a "normal" monkey patch. instead of patching a function you are just going to dig into the mcm options table and change what the other mod put in there.

function on_mcm_load(options)
  for i, opt in ipairs(options) do
    if opt.id = "black_road_revisited" then
      opt.gr[6] = {id = "disguise_allowed", type = "check", val =1, def = false}
    end
  end
end

as long as you have MCM installed i suspect the defaults table doesn't get used so you can ignore it.

there is probably a typo in there somewhere. i am good at typos

the gr[6] is because the line you are changing is the sixth one after the gr = {

this is how you would patch any mod with simple mcm settings. when ppl start having sub menus and stuff you start having to dig into multiple levels of gr tables and it gets hard to read.

[flat marten]

thanks!

[simple scaffold]

there is 100% a typo.

i miss spelled road

[misty mulch]

oh yeah be prepared for this to break the gamma inventory UI (the stat display) because it fucking HATES being monkeypatched, ever since GAMMA 0.9.3, and I have no idea why

other than "major, and badly explained, changes to utils_ui.script"

oh i misread, this is patching MCM options table. that's perfectly fine then

[frail plume]

Can someone please tell me how the hell you actually assign a collision mesh to a static object? I'm trying to add some extra hideout furniture because I wanted a damn shelf to put a TV on and now here I am 4 days later. Documentation seems extremely slim. I export from blender as xray object and it splits the mesh and collision mesh into 2 seperate files. Can't merge them in the SDK and if export as .ogf it just refuses to open with ogf viewer or any other software. Am I missing something key here or wrong setup in blender? I have assigned the bone etc and have a basic collision mesh over the bottom of the shelf. Both seperate object files open no problem including in actor editor.

[fair canopy]

there is no collision mesh. you put a collision box on the armature around the meshj

asign it using the shape type and then edit it with the buttons

[frail plume]

Let me see if I can sus this.

can I use my existing armature or create a new one for this purpose?

[fair canopy]

yes

[frail plume]

i think that might just be it? didnt have the box before

[sudden moon]

i am just trying to play around with some guns and maybe tweak some stuff

[frail plume]

do you have OGF viewer or similar tool?

[sudden moon]

i was able to open a weapon that i was wanting to edit and play around with so I guess im good as far as doing what i want to do

[frail plume]

reccomend getting an sdk when you wanna dive deeper, even loading up the entire levels in blender to see how they done is interesting you can do this with just the unpacked files though.

Typing `!dest` in #🤖bot-commands doesn't really help since it is my mod causing it and nothing takes the crash away except disabling it in MO2.. Any advice would be appreciated.. My `.dds` file is in `gamedata\textures\ui\` for the xml to read it

Worked flawlessly Ty. last question, Is there any way to have certain weather effects happen at certain times if that’s even possible? For example I would want stormy weather to start at around 17:00

[dire rain]

I think that i know where u can edit that

Check the ltxs of the weathers that u want modify or check game_smth ltx, in this one u can select the weather, music and more thingis of a level

[hollow heron]

My main reason why btw. Stormy 1 is pretty on sunset

[dire rain]

Check game_levels_single

[hollow heron]

In the MO2 ‘Filter’ search bar?

[dire rain]

That file is where u can configure the weather, music and more thingis for each level

[dire rain]

No, in the "normal gamefiles"

Go to gamba folder, search: game_levels_single and u will found these files

[hollow heron]

Oh I have to do each level? Like garbage, agroparm, etc etc?

Nice,

[dire rain]

U can configure whatever u want

I know that because im making an Addonpack and for example i want configure dark/foggy weathers on DARK Valley

[coral venture]

Hello everyone, I've noticed a problem with the RMR scope kits for the RPK-16 LMG and I would like to fix it myself if possible. I searched a bit in the discord for people who have the same problem and it seems it's a known issue but there is no fix for it currently.

In the second screenshot, you can see that the canted sights of the Leupold, Specter and Acog RMR kits have a black box background instead of a red dot. But the first screenshot of the drum magazine RPK has almost correctly functioning canted sights. I say almost, because the red dot is a bit off center as evidenced by the bullet mark on the wall being a bit to the right of the red dot.

Now my question is how could I go about fixing these myself? I have some experience modding the game for personal use and I searched in the files for some clues but I'm not certain where to begin. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

i'm p sure that's not the cap because some of those PDA Guide images are way bigger than that, but yeah, i suspected it was dimensions fuckery

And the Tac Kits too

[tawny prawn]

some of the meds dont have prices

i know how to add them but idk if it will break anything

[misty mulch]

if cost is not listed in that DLTX, it may be in another one, or it might be using regular cost, remembering also that Hard mode has an x1.25 multiplier on on cost when you buy things

[rare veldt]

hello

does anyone know if it's possible to edit the values of a specific ammo type?

i wanna tweak 7.92x57 (ammo that the kar98k uses) to do higher damage against mutants and less damage against armored enemies

(basically a watered down early game version of .338 federal)

[misty mulch]

make a dltx override for it, i have a guide in the pins

short ver:

• make your mods folder in GAMMA/mods
• create gamedata/configs/mod_system_my_ammo_changes.ltx
• in that file the contents should be

![item_id_of_ammo]
k_hit = a number bigger than its default k_hit, this is damage
k_ap = a number that's smaller than its default k_ap, this is ap

save, load your mod, play

note that every npc has 1.0 hitpoints, and k_hit is a multiplier to the gun's default damage value hit_power

so k_hit = 2 double damage

which is in and of itself, going to be overkill

[formal plover]

When I try to view a texture, it won't let me. A friend sent me a video and she was able to view it, but I keep getting that error.

I can view the mesh files without any problem.

[teal compass]

idk

I can view it and I never encounter what that error is

[summer stream]

what the fu

OH GOD DAMN IT

what texture are they trying to view

and from where are they getting it

[formal plover]

I tried the same file a friend tried on her PC. She was able to, but I couldn't. It's a Tarkov texture.

[summer stream]

well that's your answer

tarkov changed the way they encode their textures a long time ago

you have assetstudiomodgui

but its probably privated

which i can't be sure about

the mod one lets you decode it

and put assetstudio somewhere

please

[formal plover]

They're still in bundle format. It should be an external issue.

[summer stream]

downloads is not the best place

a lot of stuff can break

[formal plover]

Maybe it's because I moved Asset Studio, but I don't have it in that folder anymore.

[summer stream]

also, what the hell is that assetstudio

redownload it now

[formal plover]

I installed the recommended version, but now the texture closes as soon as I open it.

[unique rampart]

Is the base engine capable of having a weapon in the pistol slot while remaining 2 handed? the 2 options in weapon configs are misleading and don't work (slot = 1, single_handed = 0)

[teal compass]

plz just use assetstudiomodgui

[formal plover]

yes

[teal compass]

ok then

I cant tell what is wrong if u are using that

might be ur pc or bundle file

just ask ur friend to access if she can

[rare veldt]

can you tell me what are the k values of .338 federal
just so i have some base to work with

don't wanna set the number too high and one shot an exo accidentally

Can someone port this skin into gamma from cs2? Without any paint cracks

[celest forge]

Not possible unless you port the whole model

Or if you want to pay someone to remake it on a STALKER gun

[wispy timber]

Hello, maybe there someone may help. I there a mod out there that allows edit weapon position in a holding position and in the lowered one ( when you press B key).

[hallow sierra]

Hey guys do you know how to make height and normal map for texures for stalker?

[naive snow]

There's multiple ways, substance painter, marmoset, 3Ds max, maya, blender, xNormal, etc.
You'd usually bake them from a high polygon model to a low polygon model, if you have the files, or you can attempt to regenerate a high poly model from the low poly one with modifiers to add bevels and that kind of thing.

[manic heron]

Let me know if you find an answer to this. I did some searching and can't find any mods that change the lowered weapon position to look like this.

Unless it is a per-gun setting/animation from the weapon creators

[celest forge]

It is indeed a per gun thing

Whoever made/repositioned that gun made it so the lowered position was like that

[wary oyster]

Is there a mod that would read out lout the conversation with someone?

Even maybe AI-generated?

[hallow sierra]

No models i mean textures for the world

[naive snow]

Same answer, all of those softwares can be used to generate a normal map from a base color. You can also use things like SmartNormap, NormalMap-Online, Materialize, etc

[plucky briar]

I have a question.... what is the name of the ltx/script/whatever that governs if a weapon is integrally supressed or not?

[misty mulch]

by the game engine or by gamma's damage calculations? idk teh game engine but the damage calcs have a table at the top of grok_bo.script

and to be clear, the version of that script that actually does things in GAMMA is the one from GAMMA Close Quarters Combat

[plucky briar]

So the game engine deals w that too... damn... i'll check out the script, and thanks!

[misty mulch]

to be clear by "game engine" i really just mean "the part where the gun's gunshot sounds are commented as 'suppressed' and therefore have a lower sound detection radius for NPCs"

[plucky briar]

Lemme check if i understand this correctly... changing only the script might not make it fully function like a supressed weapon if i try to change the svu? If i wanna be sure i'd have to change the sound the weapon uses too? Could i just find the supressed svd sound names and replace them where the weapon uses them?

[misty mulch]

idk about sound fuckery but i assume all the guns with "integrated silencers" just use one set of gun sounds that are all marked as "suppressed"

the script ONLY handles the damage dealing aspects, which yes, are different for guns with a suppressor

[plucky briar]

Hmm... so for it to count as supressed i can just switch all the sounds the gun use to ones that i know count as supressed, and use the script, to give it the appropriate dmg and pen buff it'd have...

I'll test it when i get home, and many thanks

[fair inlet]

usually silencer_status, 1 is for integrally suppressed

[plucky briar]

Noted, thank you!

[plucky briar]

interesting... based on this, the SVU already have that tag for itself....

[shrewd stone]

[wild zodiac]

In S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, there is a quest where Degtyarev sets up an ambush against Monolith while hiding in a building. Why not add a similar type of mission as a repeatable task for NPCs?

It could be interesting to add multiple possible locations for such ambush-style quests. For example, a courtyard between apartment blocks where two factions (at least neutral to each other) meet. The player’s objective would be to eliminate all participants of the meeting.

[celest forge]

Everyone has great ideas

[wild zodiac]

bad idea?

[tame falcon]

Hi everyone, I tried to recreate the entire map in a Google Earth style view using AI, but I’ve just realized it’s practically impossible because of current AI restrictions. You’re not allowed to generate a “fake” map, even if it’s for a game. This is the only result I managed to get. If anyone knows alternative methods to achieve something similar, feel free to share them. It would be great to see what’s possible.

Hot take ai will not generate smth great from those maps too much low res details that will be lost/hallucinated in process, you can try search for some sdxl models for generating maps on civitai .com (use nsfw filters to not die tho ) and run it locally on your pc in comfyui with https://github.com/ssitu/ComfyUI_UltimateSDUpscale, shitty def not google maps style reimagined mlr cordon without any prompt on some general sdxl model that i use to upscale completely pixelated shitty textures. Imo your best option is to cut out actual google maps pieces and merge it together in ps or smth else.

I have a question for you gentleman. If someone with no coding experience wanted to make a follower mod that uses custom dialogue that triggers at random intervals \ for certain conditions, say, getting hit, proximity to player, seeing a mutant, ECT; How long would it take / hard would it be to do?

Bear in mind that this would be a completely bespoke follower. I wouldn't be trying to implement / retrofit this in existing followers.

[tawny prawn]

how to force a specific item that is categorized as an artefact into the backpack slot without altering all other artefacts?

..lets say you would add more backpacks to the game on top of the 5 that we have in GAMMA, ported from tarkov the icons are ready n all that but how would we implement them into the game as separate ''NEW'' items?

[tawny prawn]

the NEW bakcpacks would need to have their own stats ofc

and values

[modest spruce]

I am aware of this Mod, I'm more specifically speaking of a custom follower.

would anybody with LUA skills be interested in assisting?

[dire rain]

hey grassguy...

I have curiosity on what are u doing

[novel ruin]

#1190122855984287856 message
this add more backpack and custom stat and crafting, you dont need coding and stuff, just generally config and some digging for stats value

Use it as a base for your mod, I do this all the time, steal someone else work as base and craft my own

[tawny prawn]

....

[soft niche]

this only works for carry weight bonus stat. You can add other stats but because nothing checks for these stats on backpack items, they don't get applied

you'd have to alter scripts that handle these calculations

[novel ruin]

Mb i didnt get what he mean

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/scopes-as-binoculars/
this mod maybe, it do something similar, scope able to use in bino slot. From the look of the script, pretty tricky, so i would say your idea is pretty hard

@tawny prawn

[tawny prawn]

@soft niche

[soft niche]

this is something completely different :/

it just creates "copies" of the scopes that are weapons, that you can then equip

[novel ruin]

Thats the only implementation like you said afaik

[soft niche]

I think resistance stats are relatively easy to add. I assume BHS or something handles those stats, just have to add some entries for backpacks there

power_loss is tricky tho because thats part of the stamina stuff

[novel ruin]

Maybe dig into how the hunting kit work, it does something similiar

[soft niche]

hunting kit is just = item type changed from backpack to tool

and the bonus mutant stuff is just one line in a script that checks for the item id

there's a Plates mod for the Attachment overhaul that has a script that could probably be modified

it hooks into the power_loss functions, checks items, then updates the value

but idk how to LUA

    local outfit = db.actor:item_in_slot(7)
    if outfit then
        local c_outfit = outfit:cast_CustomOutfit()
        if c_outfit then
            printf("c_outfit.m_fPowerRestoreSpeed")
            power_consumption = c_outfit.m_fPowerRestoreSpeed or 0.005
        end
    end
    not_first_update = false
end```

something like this

but change the outfit part to backpacks and slot to 13

full script if anyone is curious

Hello everyone, is there anyone here who has ever made a 3D model of a pukalk? I have a problem that I have no idea how to solve.
In short, the problem is this, there is such a mod MCX Spear, it adds a cool pukalk, but I didn't like that it doesn't have a laser or a side sight. I downloaded a similar mod that adds almost the same pukalk, and there is a side sight with a laser, but there is no support for any sight, only a side one.
In short, in Blender I dragged the side sight and the laser onto the pukalk from the MCX Spear mod and saved it, but when I try to put a sight, the 3D model of which I adjusted, the game crashes.
"pukalka" is a machine gun

does anyone know how to make ltxs reference animations? i want to add new animations that were not previously referenced in the weapon ltx (anm_idle_empty__) but have no idea how to reference the animation i have in an omf in the ltx of the weapon

[somber mantle]

Никто не подскажет путь к файлам, где используются актуальные иконки для оружия?

[simple scaffold]

look at a weapon that has that has that animation? https://github.com/Tosox/STALKER-Anomaly-gamedata/blob/32a985509b2d6abc652d1571fe50de5a84c52dd4/gamedata/configs/items/weapons/w_pb.ltx#L185

anm_idle_empty_g_aim, anm_idle_empty_w_gl_aim, anm_idle_empty_g would all be listed in the same place. those are the only things starting with anm_idle_empty that i see the engine looking for.

[tame steppe]

thanks for replying to my question, sorry if i was a bit unclear. I found that the engine does respond correctly when i put the name for an animation from another part of the ltx, so no issue engine side. I was just wondering how the naming scheme of these animations work... for eg. why is the name for the idle animation in w_pb.ltx , "pb_idle, opened"? I have an omf that i want to reference but dont know what name to use so the engine will recognise that the animation im looking for is in the omf Im adding alongside the ltx. tysm! extremely sorry if im misunderstanding anything.

[simple scaffold]

pb_idle, opend should be the animation name in the omf. where anm_idle_empty is the name the engine uses. the ltx entires serve as a translation. letting you for instance use the same animation in the omf for both anm_idle_empty and anm_idle_empty_g if you wanted to, as well as specifying parameters like the open and 0.7
like:

anm_idle_aim_moving_crouch               = glock_idle_moving, idle, 0.7
anm_idle_aim_moving_crouch_empty         = glock_idle_moving, idle_2, 0.7
anm_idle_aim_moving_empty                = glock_idle_moving, idle_2, 0.75

one way to look up all the animation names that can be on the left in the ltx is this search: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Athemrdemonized%2Fxray-monolith PlayHUDMotion&type=code

you are looking for things like PlayHUDMotion("anm_idle_aim_empty", TRUE, NULL, GetState())

one thing to keep in mind is that not all guns can play all animations so you need to look at the name of the file the line is in. like only shotguns can have PlayHUDMotion("anm_add_cartridge", FALSE, this, GetState()); here: https://github.com/themrdemonized/xray-monolith/blob/12e827f4ae29968a92e6f4a542497ff6bc56f204/src/xrGame/WeaponShotgun.cpp#L207

but shotguns can have the generic weapon animations like this one: https://github.com/themrdemonized/xray-monolith/blob/12e827f4ae29968a92e6f4a542497ff6bc56f204/src/xrGame/WeaponMagazined.cpp#L1694

now if you want to get really fancy and make more context aware animations that play differently based on something like a BHS arm injury, that could be done with an animation replacing script.

[tame steppe]

thank you for such a detailed response! unfortunately im still a little confused about things. If you dont mind me providing an example: In this screenshot (from pp2000.ltx and the corresponding hud anim omf), Im confused how the name "lancew_pp2000_shoot" was made to reference the "shoot" motion name in the wpn_pp2000_hud_animation.omf. Like why is the part "lancew" even there? and how did they make it so it referenced this differently named motion in an omf kept elsewhere? honestly this is probably a really easy question to answer and i apologise for my inexperience

hip began life as a dedicated follower. while her files were merged with base anomaly files they all have a very distictive tag: devushka
https://github.com/search?q=repo%3ATosox%2FSTALKER-Anomaly-gamedata devushka&type=code

you can see her NPC ltx, her NPC xml, her squad ltx (even single NPCs need a squad for AI to work right), her squads logic, how the smart terrain at rookie village assigns that logic, her dialog xml (now broke up and merged with the map specific dialog files). her tasks, the xr_conditions and xr_effects functions need to make those tasks work.

[modest spruce]

Why thank you so very much. This is akin to me finding El Dorado.

[simple scaffold]

NP. there aren't any dedicated guides on making NPCs. Reading the code for an existing one is the only option. Hip is a good example as she has companion code, quests and even limited non companion AI. and is fairly easy to pull out of the game files due to having a unique name, once you know what the name is ofcourse.

[simple scaffold]

looking at the code, if the gun doesn't have an animation it will fall back to looking at the player hand animation list. based on this i'm, going to guess that lancew might be a prefix for those animations. but that is just a guess.

I am not actualy an animator. i am just very good at looking things up in the engine code. i may be missing something really easy because of this tho. But i can definatly see someone making a generic holster animation that works from just the hands since the gun will follow the hands, and then assign that to a dozzen guns rather than make a dedicated one for each gun.

i see... i actually tried importing the wpn_pp2000_hud.ogf + wpn_pp2000_hud_animation.omf in blender to check if the animation from the omf is working for the ogf, and i could see that it does work (see screenshot of open bolt midway shooting), which makes me believe it does use this motion from the omf. I understand that you're not really an animator so i should direct my questions to someone else (which i will do) but i just hope this added information might help understanding this. ALSO yeah i do believe it is something really easy that we're missing 😭 i hope some gun maker can come along and help me with this really novice question. tysm for your time

[summer stream]

what are you all doing

what's up with that gun talk

oh lord allmighty am i gonna get hit with wall of text

[tame steppe]

im trying to reference a motion in an omf file in a weapon ltx so i can have the gun have that animation (simplest thing ever😭) but i dont know what to name the animation in the ltx. so like i tried to make "anm_idle_empty" = "omf file name, motion name" but that didnt work and i was just wondering how the engine looks at the ltx and sees something like lancew_pp2000_shoot and somehow goes to wpn_pp2000_hud_animation.omf and uses the shoot motion there.

TLDR: help setting animations in ltx for weapon

[tame steppe]

im a really slow typer 😭

[summer stream]

please rename your animation to something else so it wouldn't conflict

it can do that sometimes

then put it inside of ltx file as
anm_empty
or etc

after that work with that animation in omf editor

you can edit speed and etc, and if its an idle, set a check mark so its idle

something like that

[tame steppe]

then in the ltx i use the motion name...?

oh wait

[tame steppe]

sorry but when you mean rename animation you mean renaming the omf right?

[summer stream]

use omf editor for that

[summer stream]

first line is hands

like uhh

pp2k_hands_unjam, pp2k_unjam

the first one for hands
second one for gun

[tame steppe]

ohhhhh my god that makes so much sense

tysm that mightve solved everything

[summer stream]

hope you'll figure it out pretty fast

[simple scaffold]

something obvious in deed. was getting close tho.

[tame steppe]

omg finally it actually worked bless your soul and tysm

[simple scaffold]

oh hey, we should have just checked the modding book: https://anomaly-modding-book.netlify.app/docs/references/configs/animations/hud-animations-weapons

[tame steppe]

wow... thats really funny that wouldve solved a lot

[calm kernel]

Guys, what mod adds these info messages when you disassemble smth? Can't find it

[fair inlet]

vanilla feature
item_parts

[calm kernel]

Thanks!

[fair inlet]

you can comment out actor_menu.set_item_news parts if it bothers you that much

[calm kernel]

No-no. I just want to try to prohibit it to give the information about disassemble for certain items I wanna add.
Thank you for the hint, man!

i was being anal cuz my gamma kept crashing so i wanted make a new updated one but i just plugged my monitor into the wrong port lol

[dark spade]

Hi, Is there any mod that changes quests so I only get money if I am in the proximity of the quest marker? Sometimes I dont even have time to do missions before they get completed, and still get the money for it. If others do the quest, should be something like „Target was eliminated by other stalker". or "The target was eliminated by external forces" Its also motivate to accept more missions and not worry about others do the job.

[flat marten]

Is there a guide on how to create a cutscene or animate demo_record so everyone could replay it?

[turbid berry]

Hello!!
I'm really pissed at how the bigger pseudogiant in the "Big Game" task is messed up, so I wanted to fix its UVs.
I've tried checking the models in mod 414 (Alternative Pseudogiants), but they're all correctly UV'd.
Where/how can I find the botched model?

[faint sable]

It’s broken due to the new psuedo model for the regular psuedos, if you disable it, it reverts back to original psuedo models I believe which is what big game is using

Can probably check the task model itself and make it the new psuedo models

[teal compass]

might be the big game calling a broken uv model gaint

[turbid berry]

All my passion thrown to the bushes for the ants to feast on....

oh, well....

[teal compass]

I tried to look in 403 new task addon and there is a psevdogigant_very_big.ogf in the file

which I guess is the wrong uv one

might just replace it

[faint sable]

Yea it just needs replaced model

Probably just size it up in blender and be done

[hollow heron]

Has anyone made good weapon repositions? Saw this video by brainjacket

I need to know how to make this, or if someone else did

[summer stream]

do you want to know how to make them yourselves?
https://github.com/veerserif/gamma-dashboard/blob/main/dltx_guide.md
read this by veer

[verbal siren]

Now put a 1p29 scope on it.

Making repositions is a breeze with the Draggable HUD Editor downloaded from moddb.

[hollow heron]

Breeze? Don’t you have to do every version of the weapon? Every sight and etc

[verbal siren]

Thanks to the pretty new addition of base position you can do just this one for the main weapon HUD section and all other variants will inherit it.

Works well for most optics, but bigger scopes may look too big sometimes. At this point you can compromise and place the gun a little lower and further away for all variants, or make another base position just for the few selected wpn_scope_hud sections.

[white urchin]

Hi all, I have the following problem:
I want to edit the bizon to be further away from my character. I don't want to edit the hud fov in the settings because that would change all other weapons and hand held items too.
I opened the weapon hud editor to see which values I need to adjust and found out "hands position 0.05 (third value, blue text) looked good.
I know that I have to change the actual values in the ltx file, but I can't find them. Well, I do, but when I edit the lines "hands_position" and "hands_position_16x9" nothing happens when loading into the game. Gun is still as close as before.
What values do I need to adjust?
The following file is the correct one, right?
= mods\G.A.M.M.A. Weapon Pack\gamedata\configs\items\weapons\w_bizon.ltx

[next radish]

Is there a way to get the animation duration when using an item with a script?

[summer stream]

do an mod_system instead

[white urchin]

Can you enlighten me on what that is/what I have to do?

(I don't mod games, so have very little clue on modding, only know that editing ltx files does stuff)

[summer stream]

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

[verbal siren]

You can change the hud_fov of individual weapons. That's the easiest solution to your problem.

[white urchin]

Thanks! Will have a look!

[white urchin]

That's what I'm trying to achieve. Will check out the guide @summer stream mentioned

[verbal siren]

You were trying to change the hands position. Every other position depends on it, so you will probably have to edit all aim positions of all the optics.

The hud_fov parameter has only one drawback that I can think of now: it won't allow you to use the adjust scope HUD feature for this gun.

[white urchin]

Oh, that's a shame.
Regarding the hud_fov parameter, I tried to locate this in the above named file for the bizon, altough I only found "holder_fov_modifier" which isn't the correct one

[verbal siren]

All you need is a hud_fov = 0.8 (or other value) line placed under the main weapon section in the config. Make a text file named mod_system_my_bizon_edits.ltx or something like that and put the knowledge from the guide to use. IIRC it should look like this:

hud_fov = 0.8

Put the file into gamedata/configs of a new mod you create and you're done.

Just check if the section name is correct. I may be misremembering.

[white urchin]

Thanks, I will try this!

[verbal siren]

What is actually responsible for the missing stats in the details tooltip? For example, sometimes I find weapons that don't show recoil control.

[fair inlet]

missing enhanced recoil profile

[hollow crown]

hello, I'm trying to debug the 'mystery of the swamps' task due to the inherrently broken state after multiple saves. So far I managed to restart it but when I come to the first location nothing happends, I suspect that this condition is false so the quest doesn't advance. Can you point me how to remove this info by chance?

            and not has_alife_info('mystery_of_the_swamps_actor_msg_1_sent')

oh nvm seems like disable_info did the trick

[white urchin]

I tried this method and sadly it doesn't work. Maybe I did something wrong but there is no visible change when using my small mod even when using ridiculous values like 0.1 or 5.0.
I even tried to added "single_handed = 1" to see if I can then put the gun in the melee slot, but it does not work.

[verbal siren]

It has to work. I just did what I told you earlier and the results are below:

1. hud_fov = 0.9
2. hud_fov = 0.1

Show me your LTX file and what folder is it in?

[rough lion]

Is there a way to enable crosshair for alt aim specifically?

[verbal siren]

For gameplay purposes or for something else?

[rough lion]

gameplay

[hoary cipher]

Probably by making a .script

Or finding a script that edits the crosshair already then editing that

[verbal siren]

There's a bunch of options in modded exe settings but nothing that allows for something so specific.
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/ascendantcrosshairs This mod allows you to use the crosshair when aiming. There is one setting for iron sights (and all 1x sights btw), as well as a separate option for magnified scopes. You could use the first setting and select the dot crosshair so that it won't look too bad with red dots. It works with alternative aiming, too.
On the plus side, you will instantly know if a red dot or a laser or iron sights are misaligned.

sooo
i got the thermals to work by deleting the shader r3 folder
i had some TAA conflicts
the problem now is
after you use thermals
and hold N to put turn them off
you have permanent blurry vision
anybody have a clue how to fix this?
(PS the only bandaid solution i found was, you need to have any type of NVGs - equip them - turn them on and off......)
any help I would greatly appreciate

Hey, can anyone explain or help me make a mod to add a Technician to the Meadow location?
I always set up my base there and wanted to make the location feel a bit more alive by adding a technician and a workbench inside the building that has a bed (sleeping spot), on the right side of the entrance when coming from Cordon.

[verbal siren]

There is a mod adding key NPCs to locations that don't have them. You can see how it's made and do it for Meadow.

Hello, can I get some help changing the fentanyl animation to the medkit animation? I found the anims_list.ltx file in FDDA and changed [tetanus]:morphine to [tetanus]:medkit, but it still plays the original animation. Thanks.

[twin compass]

Hey everyone Im asking how much time and skill would it take to make a mod which plays a sound when you load a save?

Thanks

[white urchin]

The file is in the following folder structure:
gamedata --> configs --> mod_system_bizon_fov_change.ltx

This is what it contains:

![wpn_bizon]
hud_fov = 5
single_handed = 1

[white urchin]

The mod was added into the mods folder from Gamma where all other mods are. It is at the bottom of my load order and checked in MO2.

[misty mulch]

can you zip up your mod and upload it

[misty mulch]

@verbal siren

[misty mulch]

hud fov is a value that goes from 0.0 to 1.0

that's why it's busted

you set it to 5.0

[white urchin]

Ahh ok, good to know. But I already tried with values like lemon mentioned like 0.8 and 0.2. Didn't change anything. Also if I understood correctly, setting "single_handed" to "1" should enable the bizon to fit in the melee slot, right? This doesn't work either.

[fair canopy]

Probably getting overwritten by zs

[misty mulch]

you also have to set slot = 1

[misty mulch]

probably

let me check

[fair canopy]

I bet I know where 😼

[misty mulch]

lol

[white urchin]

what is zs?

[misty mulch]

mod_system_zzzzzzzzbarry_hud_fov_remover.ltx

yeah get fucked i guess

it just removes hud_fov parameter entirely

so it just uses whatever your normal hud_fov setting is

[white urchin]

Then how come that it worked for lemon?

Did he have 416- Devices of Anomaly Redone - BarryBogs disabled?

[misty mulch]

cos weapon hud editor plays on different rules than dltx

[white urchin]

huh. ok...
So it isn't possible to change the fov for individual weapos unless I deactivate that mod?

[misty mulch]

unless you hide that file.

[white urchin]

I'm currently looking into the file that removes the hud_fov. Shouldn't my mod overwrite that mod since it is lower in the load order? Like, adding the line back?

[misty mulch]

dltx overrides don't work like that, check my dltx guide, i have a section on overwrites.

[white urchin]

Ok, so after reading your guide, all I have to do in theory would be to add one more "z" to the name so it comes after BarryBogs mod alphabetically?

[misty mulch]

yes

extremely stupid of them to have done that but ok

[white urchin]

Just tried it and it works. Damn, what a nightmare of a search ^^
But only the hud_fov change worked, so I guess the "single_handed" parameter has to get overwritten the same i guess?
Don't really need that, I just put it in there to see if I'm blind not seeing the fov change, just so I understand.

[misty mulch]

single_handed lets you hold other things with it. slot param changes which equipment slots it can go in

you should be winning literally every other overwrite at this point, you just need to change both slot = 1 in addition to single_handed = 1

this example is also in my dltx guide

i straight up make the kiparis one-handed as the demonstration

[white urchin]

Oh right, sorry, I see it. May bad!

But since my issue has been fixed I won't bother you all anymore. Thanks for the support. You have been very helpful! 👍

[misty mulch]

ftr, if you want to see if other files might do the same DLTX overwrite, you can always run a find-in-file search across all *.ltx files in your GAMMA/mods directory, looking for ![thing_i'm_overwriting]

[verbal siren]

Maybe I don't have that mod enabled, I don't remember.

That single handed thing is interesting. Can you make all weapons single handed? What about animations?

[white urchin]

All good, It worked out in the end 👍

[granite drift]

Hi! In GAMMA my weapon slowly lowers its barrel after a few seconds, even when I’m not sprinting or aiming. Which mod inside GAMMA controls this behavior? I want to disable or adjust it. Thanks!

it does affect

[misty mulch]

yes, this is the vanilla system.

i mean in terms of armor parts being tied to armor overall condition

[misty mulch]

you can, the animations just look like ass

Can I get some help in locating a couple files. I am looking for the mod that has implemented the quick melee on key press. An also the scripts that manage mutants. 🫶🏼 specifically poltergeist.

[mystic sluice]

I'm trying to fix some shading issues in KVMA's HD models mod, I removed sharp edges from the model, that are there probably because of auto-sharpening and in-game that model is rendered improperly because those edges are not supposed to be sharp. But when I export ogf file It seems that the textures are missing. Do I have to extract the mod itself and point paths to textures and models and other stuff in xray-blender addon settings ?

oh yeah, those were wrong paths in blender addon

fixed it

okay this is a fix for kvma's arms and legs it is gamedata/meshes/anomaly_weapons/hands/

[verbal siren]

It's probably better to post it in the KVMA channel.

[mystic sluice]

If someone could forward it, I don't know where to XD

is there any way to execute an arbitrary LUA piece of code and see the result in console or something?

"F7 > NPC Logic / Execute" allows me to execute LUA but i don't see any output anywhere

i'd like to be able to do something like this:
execute db.actor:active_slot() and see slot number as a result

maybe print(<lua command>) will work

yeeea, printf(<lua command>) works

[rough iris]

ive never modded before, but im using a UI mod that incompatible with a hide hud messages mod and im tempted to try and fix it myself, would it be difficult?

I would just need to learn how to edit something in this folder right?

[azure bluff]

hard to tell. If one mod overwrites file of another you will have to find a way to merge the conflicting versions of files into versions that work for both mods. If there's LUA monkeypatching going on then you pretty much have to understand quite well what you're doing and there's no way around it. To tell you more you'd have to point people willing to help you to the mods themselves with links, because right now with the little info you gave us we can only give you generic responses.

is there any way to detect in LUA script that a weapon equip/holster animation is playing?
From LUA script I'm trying to:

1. put binoculars into vision slot
2. switch to vision slot
3. wait until binos equip animation stops playing (where actor pulls binos out)
4. zoom in with binos (trigger bind kFIRE)
   Right now I'm missing the 3rd point of the list which causes weird FOV issues in certain scenarios as the binos animation fucks with FOV and no wait for it to end before initiating the zoom-in leaves the game with ~+20fov
