Guys how I can fix error GFY models for gamma?

[steel saddle]

instructions unclear, i'm muted for a week and Iedy has banished me to https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/920016996752564286

[hoary cipher]

This took more effort then the original message did

[cloud bluff]

the guy that trades you items for vodka where is his config file ?

[warm forum]

shouldve used Trance - 009 Sound System Dreamscape and lower the Quality to 240p

oh and dont forget the unregistered Hypercam 👍

say less

[regal hornet]

where would you go to change 15% damage reduction value to make it something a bit higher?

[random fulcrum]

perk_based_artefacts.script and search for af_cell

[potent delta]

Me dying of radiation poisoning the moment I get whinged by a stray PM bullet.

[winter hinge]

Nice background

[tribal wren]

anybody else using the TALKER mod and keep getting this error in the proxy_app?

[tribal wren]

i've tried using all of the avaliable models listed to no avial, keeps giving me the same error over and over. which really sucks because i can still use the message feature but keeps popping the ERROR message up ingame

[warm forum]

🔥

[topaz skiff]

hello do any of yall know if. ramage reduction x1.13 will basically make you take more or less damage

[frank idol]

ot makes you take less

beacuse multiplier is on x1

[topaz skiff]

odd, i tried testing it out with a grenade, cranked it up to x13 and no change

[frank idol]

maybe it reduces damage taken from mutants?

[jaunty yacht]

exactly, it called Rupture damage

[vestal stream]

I asked in the other chat but Ile ask here, Has anyone ever tried to make a suppression mod for the npc's in stalker? IE you suppress them and they do the same to you.

[barren crown]

How would i go about fixing these small reticles? I don't see anything related to it in the LTX or in a script (from what i saw) and replacing textures doesnt work either

Viewmodel position doesn't seem to matter either, so I'm at a loss

[teal compass]

I think its related to mesh placement

maybe the reticle placed backward or something idk

[tawdry moth]

What's the best method to write values out for debugging, the console is fairly full of information and this script is running as soon as it is loaded, in the main menu, output it to the .log file or something?

My lua script is silently failing, need to figure out why

[azure bluff]

printf("message") and look through console/.log file - it's fittingly painful for working witha Stalker game. Even modding is a survival experience.
alternatively there's a way to debug LUA scripts but it's requires you to setup the workspace in a very particular way, I don't know if it's usable with GAMMA/MO2 virutal filesystem: https://anomaly-modding-book.netlify.app/docs/tutorials/addons/lua-debugger

[barren crown]

Ok then I'll try to replace the mesh of this eotech with one that doesn't have a small reticle

[teal compass]

that should work

[chrome jungle]

as far as i know, there is no easy way

[summer stream]

yep\

[chrome jungle]

take the AR platform reanimation for example
the M16s have a different inspect animation

this requires editing the hand rig -> apply new keyframes -> export new omf + config in the ltx

[teal compass]

[chrome jungle]

and this only requires editing the handrig because the m16s have the same rotation/location as other guns

[barren crown]

doesnt work

[teal compass]

did u move the reticle mesh backward

[barren crown]

the mesh i took it from had a normal reticle

so its not the mesh..

[teal compass]

I mean like move it

idk really

might just be the reticle's fault

I cant be sure

[barren crown]

maybe

but on other guns its fine

[teal compass]

which gun is this then

if u mean its a gun specific thing

[hoary cipher]

Don't suppose anyone happens to have the backpack quick release config file on hand eh?

[chrome kettle]

Question am I allowed to add something like a dodge mechanic by like making it so that the jump button would work differently when strafing (instead of going up it applies more velocity to the side). Would that be against tos? Like am I not allowed to reference a function that’s called from the games original script?

[fair canopy]

What

You can add whatever you want if you think you can manage

[restive orchid]

Whadup bois. Havent touched the game in a while. Are there any extra mods you I can install to change how artifacts work? For example them not being found already barely at 20% when found and costing nothing relatively/bringing back articaft containers?

[hoary cipher]

There isn't any rules that prevent you from making a mod if you want, some people may get angry but unless you start charging money no one will stop you

[chrome kettle]

Ok thank you for clarifying

I have no doubt everybody will and should get mad at me for making this mod

[pulsar halo]

where is the poster texture files located does anyone know

[hoary cipher]

Why?

[chrome kettle]

Bcs I’m adding a dodge button to stalker

[hoary cipher]

So? It's kinda exist already it's just sprint jumping lol dodges basically anything already

[fair canopy]

Who gives a rats ass?

[chrome kettle]

Yeah I’m basically gonna make the sprint jumps more controllable

[random fulcrum]

consider the fact that fall damage is actually collision damage, as in speeding into anything can damage you, which is why you can't sprint past 130% movespeed

[chrome kettle]

Ah

[random fulcrum]

ah it's just air control

bruh

[chrome kettle]

Good to know

[random fulcrum]

that's in actor.ltx

i thought bro was going to do dashes i got excited for a moment

[chrome kettle]

I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed guys I’ve never modded STALKER before

[chrome kettle]

oh well yeah

[random fulcrum]

land the plane

[chrome kettle]

Pretty much

[random fulcrum]

air control ain't dashing tho

[chrome kettle]

Well you don’t have control I the air

[random fulcrum]

bro had a stroke

[chrome kettle]

I did sorry

Worded it wrong

[hoary cipher]

Wait really? That's the funniest thing ever lmao

[random fulcrum]

you can have air control, it's in actor.ltx

[chrome kettle]

I meant to say the goal is to give the player more control over their movement as a whole

By giving them a dodge

I don’t want air control I want a burst in velocity when jumping while strafing

[hoary cipher]

A ground jump to the left or right if you will?

[chrome kettle]

Yes

But now you can actually dodge the mutants

[hoary cipher]

Well I'm pretty sure you can already modify jump height easy enough

[chrome kettle]

Maybe I will do a proper dash?

Would that be easier than the jump thing?

[chrome kettle]

You know what if you want dashing I’ll do dashing

So long as one person actually thinks it’s a cool thing to add I’ll do it

[hoary cipher]

It's just a sideways jump with momentum and no height

[chrome kettle]

I’d probably have to add some height so that the player doesn’t just drag across the ground right?

Anyways sorry for the confusion

[calm hull]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gG7pUrEoFU&t=541s anybody know the mod used for gloves and arms in this vid?

[barren crown]

sorry for the late response, this is actually on multiple BAS guns (for some reason)

and also BAS based weapons

such as Retrogue's AM/AMB

(btw the gun i tested was BaS AK-12 2016, With Sedzhimol's reanimation)

Oh, Thanks!

[fiery rune]

Does anyone got that mod that makes mags redux ammo unlimited for some testing?

[summer girder]

Does the guy ignore youtube comments or smth, I thought he had a server

[tawdry moth]

If you are adding a value to a ltx section using dltx, is it enough to just specify it?

![some_loadout_section]
wpn_l85_m3:0:2:20

Would this add this weapon to that loadout section for instance?

[rustic obsidian]

Can someone tell/teach/show me how to increase the amount of stuff that traders sell? (I want to increase the number of bullets they sell)

[shy karma]

Need some more help with #1450539639764160594 message mod 👀
Can someone pls hint me at which function can I use to - check which faction your new 'body' belongs to; give actor some rep of that faction, to make traders lvl instantly 2?

[summer girder]

Make a mod
Look up gamma_wp_preset.ltx, gamma_nato_preset.ltx, copy the folder structure leading to the files, name the files like mod_system_gamma_wp(or nato, your choice)_preset.ltx, learn how DLTX works, etc
If you wanna do it per trader, do it per trader, usually something like trade_stalker_nimble.ltx or smth

@sudden inlet
What is it

[sudden inlet]

I was trying to fit explanation into a single sentence but it won't fit

[summer girder]

"Make your own DLTX mod with trader profiles/presets"

[sudden inlet]

If only we could teach deepwiki how to do DLTX, it actually gives correct advices

[summer girder]

Wotwiki

[sudden inlet]

To get players faction - actor_faction = get_actor_true_community() or alife():actor():community():sub(7)
To give rep - https://github.com/Tosox/STALKER-Anomaly-gamedata/blob/v1.5.2/gamedata/scripts/game_relations.script#L577
To make traders lvl2 you have to set actor's rep with the faction?

[sudden inlet]

deepwiki 🥹
https://deepwiki.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA

[shy karma]

To make traders lvl2 you have to set actor's rep with the faction?
as far as I know - that's all what's needed. Thx for the tips, any idea where can I find those rep thresholds for traders lvl, in which ltx? 👀

[summer girder]

Oh, LLM

🤮

[sudden inlet]

They set individually for each trader like this https://github.com/Tosox/STALKER-Anomaly-gamedata/blob/v1.5.2/gamedata/configs/items/trade/trade_csky_spore.ltx#L7

[shy karma]

ah damn, that complicates it a lot... 😦

altho it explains why military trader got to lvl 2 suspiciously fast during my military life in Azazel

welp, anyways, in reality I wanted to give rep less than lvl2 require, but just under it - so that doing a few quests for your own faction will quickly get you lvl 2 trader

[shy karma]

actually, its 400 everywhere...

[shy karma]

upd: so, it seems Azazel script already works with faction variables and therefore I don't even need get_actor_true_community since its already used, and new_faction var is introduced and set in the script, therefore all I need is to add:
actor.change_community_goodwill(new_faction, actor, 350)
to the azazel script, inside actor_on_before_death function? gonna test that at home 👀

[shy karma]

function change_factions_community_num(faction_name, obj_id, delta)
    if(faction_name~=nil) and (faction_name~="none") and (obj_id ~= nil) then
        relation_registry.change_community_goodwill(faction_name, obj_id, delta)
    else
        --printf("No such faction community: "..tostring(faction))
    end
end```
what is obj_id there? is it where I should put actor or ..?

[simple scaffold]

yes:
https://github.com/Tosox/STALKER-Anomaly-gamedata/blob/32a985509b2d6abc652d1571fe50de5a84c52dd4/gamedata/scripts/game_relations.script#L1027

this is a very good guide on how the relation system works. (the only thing that is wrong is where it tells you what the number values of game_object.friend, game_object.neutral and game_object.enemy are. the actual values are friend 0, neutral 1, enemy 2)

[shy karma]

thx
so, does actor.change_community_goodwill(new_faction, actor, 350) look like a valid function? I'll be able to test it in a few hrs 👀

[simple scaffold]

no. to make a faction, in this case killer aka mercs, like the the actor more is relation_registry.change_community_goodwill( "killer", AC_ID, 350 ) AC_ID is a global that is always the actor id.

[shy karma]

in my case, I have new_faction local variable already defined in azazel script:

    local new_faction = se_obj:community()
  local old_faction = get_actor_true_community()
    se_actor:set_rank(se_obj:rank())
    set_actor_true_community(new_faction) -- update default faction
    db.actor:set_character_reputation(se_obj:reputation())
    handle_actor_money(db.actor, se_obj)

    printf(tostring(new_faction))
    
    game_relations.set_community_goodwill_for_faction(new_faction)
    --game_relations.change_faction_relations(faction, faction:sub(7), 2000, true)```
wait... those last lines - is that what I was trying to do, already done and commented? 👀

[simple scaffold]

idk what you are trying to do.

the last line changes the faction relation between the actor faction, say actor_killer, and the npc faction killer to 2000. which isn't how anomaly does things. in anomaly the actor faction might as well not exist as things are setup so that it always has the same relations as the NPC faction. so left over code from a legasy system, ignore it.

game_relations.set_community_goodwill_for_faction(new_faction) goes thru every faction listed in the game relations ltx and sets the faction's good will to the actor to match the factions goodwill to new_faction

[shy karma]

thanks for clarifying here, the correct line is
relation_registry.change_community_goodwill(new_faction, AC_ID, 350)
works fine 😊

[jaunty grove]

I'm looking at the af_surge_up_absorbation section for environmental protection values, and the numbers are really messed up. Like, 0.24375 for burn_immunity, and 0.1818 for shock_immunity, even though they are supposed to give 20% for both. Why are they crazy

[kind anchor]

Why are scripts files ended with .script instead of .lua??

[shy karma]

suppose the same reason why xml files end with .ltx instead of .xml 👀

[sacred token]

*ini

[sacred token]

Probably also because it is not plain lua but also luajit and luabind with more custom engine logic to interpret the script files

[random fulcrum]

insanely long story insanely short: anomaly's damage resistances math is beyond obtuse and not straightforward in the slightest, check the actor damage balancer script for the conversion scales

[jaunty grove]

that's terrifying, thanks

[kind anchor]

bet that makes sense to me. I assume the engine is handling globals itself?

[chrome kettle]

as it turns out making a mod is very hard so I have no god damn clue as to how I make a dodge mod

welp

time to go digging

guys where do I find the script that handles the player?

actually just gonna give up sigh

sorry for getting you hopes up Babygirl (that feels weird to type out bro)

[hoary cipher]

Immunity is how much damage the item takes I think? It's really confusing but I know for outfits is you want it to take more damage from that type you increase its immunity

[jaunty grove]

ah yeah I meant the belt items, those actually operate under immunity. But I got it sorted

[hoary cipher]

Could you explain how that works? I'm trying to figure it out myself ony figured out outfits so far

[random fulcrum]

for artefacts immunity is their protection

[hoary cipher]

Ahhhh awesome thanks

[random fulcrum]

https://github.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA/blob/72ba0baa488c60668294fff7d1dd3b7f1f4839ec/G.A.M.M.A/modpack_addons/G.A.M.M.A. Actor Damage Balancer/gamedata/scripts/grok_actor_damage_balancer.script

read up

[hoary cipher]

I will be keeping this

[shy karma]

alright, so I now have the proof that disguise system does not work at all with my azazel mod for some reason... any ideas why? 👀
I suspect this part to blame:

    for i=1,65534 do
        local npc = get_object_by_id(i)
        if npc and IsStalker(npc) then
            npc:set_relation(game_object.neutral,db.actor) -- trying to reset relations after respawn
        end
    end```

also, is that a base anomaly function or some mod in a modpack? I have a feeling that load order is the issue here 🤔
can't find anything with 'disguise' tho

confirmed that until I respawn in azazel, disguise system actually works

[azure bluff]

have you tried removing the code you suspect causes the problem and checking if disguise works after respawn without that code?

have you tried if there's a difference in the outcome between scenarios where:

• first life, disguise, then die. Does disguise work after respawn?
• first life, never activate any disguise, then die. Does disguise work after respawn?

G.A.M.M.A. Disguise does not remove patches\gamedata\scripts\gameplay_disguise.script this is the script that controls disguise functionality in GAMMA.

[azure bluff]

try putting something like this before a call to set_actor_true_community(new_faction) that I know takes place in that mod of yours

if(ui_options.get("gameplay/disguise/state")) then -- do only if disguise feature was enabled in settings
  -- "restart" the feature
  gameplay_disguise.toggle_feature(false);
  gameplay_disguise.toggle_feature(true);

  gameplay_disguise.delet_memory(); -- clear NPC LUA memory
  gameplay_disguise.make_npcs_forget_actor_in_engine(); -- clear NPC engine memory
  gameplay_disguise.update_default(new_faction); -- update what the feature considers to be the default community
end

[azure bluff]

the clip does not show your goodwill with the army, for all we know your goodwill with the army is <=1000 at which point you will get shot at by that faction even if disguised in which case the game behaves as expected.

also you can find invaluable documentation on relations in game_relations.script which might shine some light on the issue

[tribal vault]

(Solved) Hi. I’m currently trying to touch something that hasn’t really been touched since 2007.

The problem is that there seems to be a post-animation subsystem in X-Ray that rotates character bones in code. Because of this, the character starts jittering in-game in the rhythm of the old walk animations.
In Blender everything looks correct, so this is clearly not an animation or root issue. It looks like the engine plays a full-body animation, and then applies additional torso/aim-related bone rotations on top of it (spine, chest, shoulders, etc.), which conflicts with newer animations and causes visible shaking.

I currently have no clear understanding of where this system is configured or how it can be influenced (configs vs hardcoded logic).
If anyone has experience with this subsystem or knows where these bone modifiers are applied/controlled, any pointers would be appreciated.

[grave ridge]

Are there any tools for reading the files from decompiled levels like these ones? They are all binary so I was just wondering if anyone had developed something to decode them.

[azure bluff]

have you tried the SDK? https://anomaly-modding-book.netlify.app/docs/modding-tools/sdk

[grave ridge]

Yeah been spending some time getting IX-Ray working, its xrCompiler is actually what i used for the decompilation

But the level editor itself takes .level files

These are the compiled ones stripped of all metadata and anything else not required so they arent readable by the level editor

From what i can find theres no apparent way to decompile these and pack them back into a .level file so i was just hoping to get them into a human readable format i can use for reference in level creation

I mean, best case i could try and make my own tools for the job - the files do seem to be in DirectX formats, but that will be A LOT of work

[azure bluff]

there's the mod that adds edits maps, how does it do that if we have no access to SDK readable levels?

[grave ridge]

Which mod?

[azure bluff]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/expandedfixed-maps-all-in-one

[grave ridge]

couldn't tell you, but what theyre doing is exactly what I'm trying to figure out rn

might see if I can get in contact with the author or Karobeccary

[azure bluff]

there's a discord link in the description of the mod along with a line:

Special thanks to Karobeccary for teaching me how to edit Anomaly maps!
i guess contacting them is your best bet

also might be a long shot but ... have you tried just putting all the decompiled files into a somename.zip renaming it to somename.level and checking if the SDK maybe reads it? because a lot of those container formats is just .zip files with a changed extension.

[grave ridge]

lol

ill give it a shot

[azure bluff]

you can unzip a .docx or .odt file

and you'll see shitload of .xml files inside with the actual contents of your documents

same for .mp4 files i think

[grave ridge]

worth a try

[azure bluff]

AI is infamously useless when working with Stalker but ... maybe?

[shy karma]

not yesterday, since it was almost 1 am and time to sleep.
now I tested this shit extensively... oh boy, that piece of code has nothing to do with it. My azazel mod has nothing to do with it, its a default azazel issue! yet again...

first life, disguise, then die. Does disguise work after respawn?
I suspect yes, except it reveals me every time since I haven't been able to respawn outside the group of faction mates, and the respawn forces actor to pick up the weapon in his hands every time, meaning instant disguise cancellation.
What I've seen is: for example, I am a military guy, I put on loners outfit, it says I successfully disguised. I then walk to anomaly and die - upon death and when I can get actor picking up a new weapon he respawned with, I see the text saying my disguise was cancelled

first life, never activate any disguise, then die. Does disguise work after respawn?
never works again, not even in vanilla gammma.

the clip does not show your goodwill with the army, for all we know your goodwill with the army is <=1000 at which point you will get shot at by that faction even if disguised in which case the game behaves as expected.
I suppose those are the numbers in 'relations' tab? They never change with disguise, however, I realized one thing, that seems to be the source of that entire issue:

when you start a new char, regardless of faction (except mono maybe?) you have 0's in relation with any faction and they open fire purely because of your faction allegience. When you respawn with azazel, however, it forces on you the extreme numbers of a faction you belong to. For example, you start a brand new game as a loner and your personal relations show 0 0 0 0 to everyone except mono maybe. But then you die and respawn as a loner and suddenly you also have -2000 with military and can never disguise as one again

[shy karma]

since the source of the issue is completely different, that didn't help, but thanks for interesting functions - clearing npc memory and all might come in handy

[shy karma]

btw, so it means that in a normal game, as a loner, if I keep slaughtering bandits for ages, I then eventually won't be able to disguise as one? that doesnt make any sense tbh, the entire point of disguise is not to be recognized. I just honestly never used that in this regard, I usually disguised as an ally to a hostile faction, that I still haven't done irrepairable damage to goodwill, like aforementioned bandits - I never tried to be neutral to them, huh
usually being a merc, disguising as someone neutral to duty

anyway, this whole thing sounds like a major issue on a disguise system part...

[azure bluff]

if I keep slaughtering bandits for ages, I then eventually won't be able to disguise as one?
assuming:

• you start as a loner
• you have a goodwill of equal-or-less-than -1000 with bandits
• you have a goodwill of more-than -1000 with renegades BUT less than +1000
• there's a 5 person renegade squad you've fought in the past, killed 1 member of the squad - now it's 4 people, and then disengaged
• you have goodwill of +1000 or more with duty

The results will be as follows:
then you will still be able to disguise as a bandit and renegades will be not shoot at you since renegades are a bandit-friendly faction and your personal goodwill with the faction is more than -1000.

despite renegades not shooting at you as a faction, the renegade squad you've killed a member of will still shoot you on sight, since they have personal beef with you after you've killed their squadmate.

even when you're disguised as a bandit ALL bandits will automatically shoot at you because you've done so much damage to them that it's considered irreparable which is expressed as your personal goodwill with bandits being -1000 or lower .

in this scenario duty will not shoot at you even when you're disguised as a bandit because you have such a good reputation with them they're ok with you personally even if they shoot all other bandints on-sight.

[shy karma]

yes, this is how the game behaves, which still doesn't make much sense since with disguise you should be random nobody to them, otherwise its like "we remember you being loner, but now we see our badges so we won't shoot you"
which brings a question - that weird identification system that you have when you aim at anyone... only makes sense for all other NPCs to have this alien tech, that's how they can remember it was you who they have personal beef with?

eh, well, anyway, that's still clearly a problem for azazel: in my past life, I was a soldier, stockpiled some goodies at our base in agroprom, then I died; now I'm a CS dude who have never been to that military base, never killed a single soldier yet, they don't have any personal beef with me other than me being part of CS, now I dress as a scientist and they shoot me on sight regardless 😦

and that applies to any faction that is enemy with your current faction, usually its -2000...

sooo, possible solution:
in Azazel, instead of copying numbers of faction relations to actor, they should be... eh, reset to 0? except for some? rewrite that entire part to something more complicated?
alternatively, I can edit relations ltx file and (with an exception of monolith, sin and isg) put faction-to-faction relation to something that -900 instead of -2000, which still should keep everyone attacking each other as planned, but when a player would be reincarnated as one with those numbers, it would allow him to disguise? that's a horrible crutch tho

[summer stream]

Just make them use IX-Ray SDK

the one that comes with game originally SUCKS

[lilac ibex]

jesus christ

why not use AI to do something USEFUL - translate RU tutorials

[summer stream]

[azure bluff]

because they're probably on russian websites or discord servers i have no idea about because i never bothered to check them out since i do not understand the language? chicken and egg problem. can you point us to some of those?

[lilac ibex]

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwMzSdP-dbdrkY9B9fMyp6A

amk-team exists, ap-pro too. you'll find some tutorials there

[azure bluff]

are those websites? discord servers?

[summer stream]

amk-team, ap-pro
are russian websites

[lilac ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/heat-heat1995-michael-mann-movies-action-movies-gif-27056992

[summer stream]

both of them related to stalker

ap-pro is known in gamma for one thing
repacks
mostly by serega, but it has a lot of useful info

amk-team is more related to modding one

both are useful

[azure bluff]

yea, i honestly do not understand the reaction of lvutner, he seems annoyed that some people do not ... know everything? I literally do not understand what's going on with the meme-reaction. Anyway:

thank you!
@grave ridge this might interest you as you were looking for resources on how to work with levels in stalker. I was just throwing ideas and seeing if maybe anything sticks, more knowledgeable people came over and shared much better quality knowledge!

[summer stream]

he's basically the shader guy, you will never know what he's gonna throw
but it's always useful info

(and yes he's annoyed by people like us )

[grave ridge]

Thanks :)

[azure bluff]

lol, is that the website? is it a standard practice to visit it only with vpn active?

[grave ridge]

i pretty much always have vpn on and that is it indeed

[shy karma]

oh wow, AMK is not totally forgotten, so nice to see :D

[summer girder]

Serega the banned one

[weary root]

goat tutorials + i would add this https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4f0yA4qpVNXkdx81EpqGu6IEgskGZwoq&si=DZtV3iKaOCaCo-82

[weary root]

this was done in blender which allows to do small edits to static geometry, but you can’t alter lightmaps, ai grid, spawn.. about sdk/maps- there’s no sources for og anomaly maps (you can use coc ones and adapt them +rip all missing geometry from anomaly maps if you miss them in sdk dir like letters on some buildings in prypiat etc…) + iirc you need to edit hefty amounts of configs and script after you regenerate ai grid/spawn for your edits which is tbch not worth doing and most addons for npc and shit will stop working (ullp - only mod that edited ai grid+spawn and some levels geometry) better option is to make completely new game on xray monolith like anthology did or custom and old world is doing if you want gun slop mods and other to work and then take whatever u want from anomaly if you really want to waste hundreds of hours

hmm, what a weird situation. How come we have no sources for anomaly maps? I thought the maps are directly ripped from original trilogy assets but you put a distinction between Anomaly and CoC maps which makes me think that probably original trilogy has their own separate sets of map that are different still than any of the Anomaly/CoC sets, as-in whatever Great Swamp we're playing in Anomaly is a different map than original CS Great Swamps.

[weary root]

cs/coc/anomaly maps are fairly similar in terms of terrain and all main static geometry only difference is in trees and some other props + still missing sources is not about missing static geometry but missing spawn sources etc.. you want to put for example car in middle of this road in garbage you need to regenerate ai grid(those funny rectangles) otherwise npc’s will go through it -without sources or rather tidy complete sdk you will shift all id’s in all maps after garbage for example yantar scientists bunker door will be replaced by breakable boxes or smth else… everything dynamic/npc/container/campfire/etc.. have it’s own id that will be shifted that’s why i said its easier and more convenient to make “new game” and take what’s best from anomaly rather than trying ductape everything after each edit

^some random sdk ss with anomaly ai grid and coc static geometry for meme map

[low silo]

Anyone familiar with how GAMMA hooks into the treasure manager to fill reward stashes? Is it the same as vanilla? Looks like there are some overwrites maybe but I'm struggling to untangle it.

[azure bluff]

3 mods straight up overwrite the treasure_manager.script
2 mods monkeypatch but one of these is overwritten by the other

the winning treasure_manager seems to come from G.A.M.M.A. Rare Stashes Balance\gamedata\scripts\treasure_manager.script . The file is rife with comments -- Grok's Stash Overhaul so i guess that's the file.

does that answer your question?

[dire rain]

Expanded Maps just add some assets, open some possible ways and that

The changes are minimal, but good

[low silo]

Thanks; gonna go break things and see what I can achieve.

[dire rain]

Call of Chernobyl have differences with the ones from CoP-CS-SoC even if are minimal, CoC has map sources posted somwhere i think, CoC maps have some differences in locations and improved thingis.
Anomaly maps have more vegetation and some other minimal changes like x location in Pripyat being faithful to the real location, and thingis taked from MLR 6 like smart terrains and meadow, i doubt if there sources for the Anomaly maps because, well, most of em are "ripped".

According to some people that i've reading about change/mod anomaly maps the thingi is hard to change but idk.

[dire rain]

Also, if u want check smth about change levels u would check MLR Location Pack addon, is a port of some selected MLR locations (by the same author of ULLP):
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/mlr-location-pack

Maybe u would learn smth with that.

[hoary cipher]

This is cool, I think we should make bigger maps the standard

Or atleast have it easier to make bigger maps

[dire rain]

If that addon had more attention, the author would keep updating it, but.

[azure bluff]

Thank you both @weary root & @dire rain for the overview of the map situation.

Man is the stalker modding landscape ever a fucking maze... Five different engine forks, official/IX-ray SDKs, nothing ever fully works, everything is always in motion, personal grudges (i see some dislike towards Grok on IX-Ray Discord, IWP author doesn't want their stuff ported to Anomaly etc.), maps of hard-to-identify origins, knowledge dispersed across multiple different sources (moddb tutorial, discord, modding book, russian forums, youtube) ... what a shitshow.

[dire rain]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R Modding is a great vorld

[hoary cipher]

Perhaps get in contact with the anthology team they made a lot of new maps, I have access to only the maps also if you want to see them not sure it will help much in making maps tho

[dire rain]

Anthology team didn't a shit

EVERY map is ripped/stoled/whatever from other mods

They just port em

[hoary cipher]

Still decent work to port something and put quests and everything on those maps

[azure bluff]

the map questions weren't even for me btw, it was that Avery guy that wanted info. I just got interested as a side effect of trying to come up with some hints for him.

[hoary cipher]

Lol

[dire rain]

Yeah, port maps (specially replace em) is a great work.

more specially in smth sooo big in global map like Anomaly, as the all.spawn has a lot of thingis

[hoary cipher]

Well I have no clue how it works would def be easier if I knew russian but I mean I'm happy to have extra maps

[azure bluff]

i'm struggling with trying to fix the camera collisions because they're annoying as fuck... If there's anyone that has any decent idea of how to tackle the issue comprehensively I'd be grateful for some pointers.

I'm talking about these issues:

[dire rain]

Last_Dawn did a great work in level design with MLR, some of his works are the best (released) versions of some maps like Rostok and Limansk, i hope that he back to the development someday due to his current activity publishing IX-Ray addons, both mods are unrelated but personally i hope smth when IX-Ray be ported to Call of Chernobyl.

[azure bluff]

i'm currently in the process of changing the camera collider from a obb to a capsule but i have little hopes this will result in any significant improvement and also considering how ancient the ODE version used in Stalker is I expect problems with capsule collisions in general.

[grave ridge]

Thanks for your help in this btw LuLNope, also happy new year :)

My goal in all of this is to remaster and maybe redesign darkscape as the map has never sat right with me

[dire rain]

This isn't of ur interested i guess

[ocean comet]

hem someone know why if i change some values on the zzzz grok artifact ltx, those values do not change ingame , aslo happy new year

[grave ridge]

damn

still, i wanna try making my own

but its interesting how many similarities there are in the changes this map makes to the ones i had planned

like water in the south east, though i guess maybe that is just kinda obvious given the pripyat river

[teal compass]

reminds of tarkov shoreline lol but good edit

[astral stratus]

Is there a way to add weapons to the drop pool? I've noticed the AM17 and Hera missing from it, but using the Debug Menu feels wrong.

[teal compass]

athi's 3dss reenabled gun addes it back

[azure bluff]

you probably want to edit the npc loadouts if you want them to drop from NPCs or these files if you want them in stashes:

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")

[ocean comet]

hello,did the game change from which scrip it gets the value for artifacts?, i cant seem to find why changes to the zzzzzzzzz_artifact scrip dont applied, someone knows what could be happening?

[astral stratus]

Thanks! Do you have a link? I can't find it.

[brave kernel]

Anyone know what file I would have to edit in order to make a gun's reload actually match the animation time?

Specifically, I'm trying to edit the Deagle. There's a whole extra second after putting the mag in before it really reloads and if I do anything in that time, it just doesn't put the ammo in, so I wanna fix it

[astral stratus]

Can you or someone explain the numbers behind the weapon name?

...and what the "r" represents?

[faint sable]

Random

It randomly picks on the guns details selection of scopes

[astral stratus]

If i wanted to add the AM17, i'd just add: "wpn_am17:1:3:5:100" ?

[faint sable]

Yea you can do that

[astral stratus]

Aight, Thanks mate!

How can i influence the drop chance for that weapon?

[faint sable]

Add more entries to make it more common

[astral stratus]

Ah, ok. Nah, i want it to be rare.

The Hera would be "wpn_ar15_freedom" ?

[fair canopy]

this is false

[faint sable]

It true

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

[fair canopy]

[dire rain]

Also, that darkscape it's based on x station of the real chernobyl

[astral stratus]

Ok, adding "wpn_am17" and "wpn_ar15_freedom" doesn't seem to work. i spawned a lot of them and non dropped the weapons.

[azure bluff]

is there any easy way to get a wireframe display of collision geometry in-engine? I just went through some preprocessor magic to discover that debug_output.cpp is in fact entirely empty (screenshot)

[azure bluff]

i see, so PHDebug.cpp from xrGame also has to be compiled with the defines

[teal compass]

cool

[teal compass]

check athi's github

[cloud bluff]

how big are weapon icons size wise in px

[summer stream]

50x50 is each pixel
by default we do it like

2x6

2 in height

6 in width

so it's

100x300

[cloud bluff]

if i want my thing to be in the middle what do i need to do

[summer stream]

go into stalker icon editor and fix what ever what you did in config for it

[cloud bluff]

wth we have stalker icon editor thats crazy

[teal compass]

prob u want 1x5 instead of 2x5

[summer stream]

yep

that might be it

i mean the original was worse than this

was my time wasted working with my 2 left hands or improvement

[chrome jungle]

Y'all, is there a possible way to make under barrel shotgun attachment for Anomaly, im half way through animating the shotgun and forgot to check if its even feasible to implement such thing

[crimson salmon]

well

can you change ammo that gl uses?

and ammount of ammo

[chrome jungle]

Yeah, but why that matters tho?

[cloud bluff]

SV98 with shotty when

[hoary cipher]

Because you make a GL that shoots shotgun ammo

That's essentially what you want

Not sure how it would react to having more then one shot but should be fine

[azure bluff]

how do i limit mouse sens in demo mode?

[chrome jungle]

That doesn't have anything to do with this, essentially this is a separate attachment from the m203

[teal compass]

but u can only attach a gl

I dont know if u can make a second one without engine edits

[chrome jungle]

Which is why i don't know if this is even feasible

Would be cool tho

Im reusing all the M203 bones

Works well in render

[hoary cipher]

Except it takes the same slot as a m203 or gp25 thus it does have everything to do with that, it's 'technically' a grenade launcher with different config settings, it's much easier to rework what we have then trying to make a new thing

[chrome jungle]

Alrighty then

[hoary cipher]

And until scripted attachments are out the GL or any underbarrel attachment need to have the attachments made with the whole gun not only the attachment iirc so it would be difficult to put it on every weapon

I believe*

[chrome jungle]

If its just an M203 in disguise, then we can possibly utilise existing M203 script, all the gun models would need to be updated with the shotgun

[ocean comet]

can someone help me? i change values on a scrip, the artefact reinvention, so arti should have different values in game... but the change doesnt apply , and i dont know why, i even did a full clean install

also i deleted the duplication scrip on the same, mod but it still applying in game... somehow

[hoary cipher]

It's not even a m203 script tbh it's more just configs and animations

[unique crag]

anyone know what controls the radiation status icon changing colors

[hoary cipher]

Clean install? If you change values then reinstall then that will set it back to default, also make sure it has no other mods overrighting it and it's old values aren't reinforced anywhere

[ocean comet]

I update, so i change the values but they didnt change. So i though it was something due to updating to a new patch, SO i did a clean install and then a change the values again, and deleted the script, but neither change applied... Also just to check i turn on the black market but the mod also do not apply in Game

And they should only been change in that mod... I think cus i did it on the previous patch note, and the only place i needed to change the values for the artifacs was in that mod

[teal compass]

[proper parrot]

Hey everyone, what are the best-looking inventory icons right now? Which mod?

[brave kernel]

I'm trying to make the reload time of the Deagle match the animation speed. Anyone know what file I have to edit?

[twin blaze]

Hey guys, how to adjust volume of sounds through game levels music ltx config file?

[ocean comet]

So some can help me , i don't know what could i do ?

[hoary cipher]

Start with something smaller and get a better understanding of it then work your way up? 🤷‍♂️

If you have a low level understanding of anomaly modding then it will be impossible or atleast very hard to find where your stuff is breaking

[vernal onyx]

Does anyone know where the post process effect used by the Psy Dog is located — specifically the one that causes the screen to glow and adds a grain effect (.ppe)?
I am currently working on a mod related to visual effects, but I cannot find this particular Psy Dog glowing + grain effect anywhere

I have already checked all .ppe files inside the anims folder in Anomaly
Searched through every .ppe file included in GAMMA

However, this Psy Dog effect is the only one I cannot locate
If anyone has information on where this effect is defined (or how it is triggered), I would greatly appreciate your help

[ocean comet]

i just did what i did previous patch, and it worked on the previous patch, also for example turning on the anomalus backpack mod in the mo2 do not active the mod ingame, i cannot spawm the anomalus backpack with the cheating menu, it doesn apper

[hoary cipher]

That dosent seem right

[ocean comet]

i know, and i have no clue the hows or whys , it make no sense that i also can delete scrips and they still keep aplaying in game

like it makes no sense to me, at all

[hoary cipher]

No you have to be doing something very wrong, there is no way you can add a mod and it just dosent appear unless you are missing it's requirements or it's overwritten

And you can't just delete scripts and have stuff be fine most the time

Gamma is a bit of an exception because of how big it is but like no?....

[ocean comet]

it just the scrip that do not allow you to have duplicated items, it isnt that conflictive and it still apply

even when i delete it

[ocean comet]

i just doing the same thing i did previous patch , idk

[lone bone]

Yo i have a problem. What can I do to get the folded stock on my spas 12 visible when dropped?

[hoary cipher]

Change the world model

[lone bone]

what is the world model?

is it a seperate ogf?

[hoary cipher]

Yes, most weapon mods have a main ogf and the world ogf which is normally lower detail and goes in NPC hands and on the world

You would have to edit the world model to have the stock and then direct it to that in the ltx

[hoary cipher]

Well that must be wrong lol, maybe bad load order?

Not enough zzz

[ocean comet]

well i was able to make the anomalus backpack work, it just work itself out cus i did nothing different lel

[lone bone]

where do I find the world model? I only see the ogf in the weapon folder

[ocean comet]

the scrip for duplication still appliying tho, somehow it doesnt exist in my gamma folder

[ocean comet]

idk, i didnt change the name, i just open it with vscode

[hoary cipher]

Normally in meshes/dynamics/world models (or whatever it's called but normally has world in it)

[ocean comet]

but that would break the game tho, the artifact scrip is a important one no? 🤔

[hoary cipher]

Why the hell are you using vscode tho?

That's for c++ no?

[lone bone]

I found it, thank you🙏

[azure bluff]

what are you trying to do exactly?
like put down:

• specific goal you want to achieve
• a list of steps you've attempted
• point us to the exact file (absolute filesystem path) you're trying to edit

[azure bluff]

vscode is a text editor+plugins
you're thinking of Visual Studio which abbreviates to VS without the "code"

[hoary cipher]

Huh ok I thought that was for c++ only lol, I just use notepad the default one in windows for all my script and config edits 😅

[ocean comet]

change the values for end game artefacts, have duplicated artifact

[azure bluff]

that's a suboptimal setup if you do any number of changes beyond like a couple of tweaks. At least use notepad++ for the syntax highlight though honestly vscode is such a big step up for stuff like this that consider just using the vscode from the get-go.

A good example of why using vscode makes sense is the workspace setup where i have:

• unpacked anomaly files
• gamedata folder
• gamma mods folder
  all in one workspace, if i'm searching for treasure_manager i see all variants of the script or the ltx, where they come from etc. I just have to look into MO2 vfs to see which file wins

[ocean comet]

the steps i tried for the aritifac is deleting the scrip in .Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_addons\G.A.M.M.A. Artefacts Reinvention\gamedata\scripts that is called grok duplication on belt

that didtn work so i delete the same scrip on .Grok's Modpack Installer\resources\Stalker_GAMMA\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_addons\G.A.M.M.A. Artefacts Reinvention\gamedata\scripts

so my only think about this that there are multiple scrips that do the same thing (eventho in the previous patch it was only this scrip 🤔 ) that do the same, but i cant find those other scrips

[azure bluff]

this file?
G.A.M.M.A. Artefacts Reinvention\gamedata\scripts\grok_remove_belt_duplicates.script ?

[ocean comet]

for the values on artifact, i open the scrip mod_system_zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz_grok_artifacts, in both config folder (i tried first G.A.M.M.A\modpack_addons\G.A.M.M.A. Artefacts Reinvention\gamedata, it didnt work, so i tried the one in resources\Stalker_GAMMA\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_addons\G.A.M.M.A. Artefacts Reinvention\gamedata, it aslo didnt work) with vscode, and just deleted the negitve sign on oasis, compass and so on, so i didnt increase the values, i just take the negative sign out lel

[ocean comet]

yes that one

[azure bluff]

the script file has no conflicts so if editing it results in no effect then you're editing a copy of the file that is not actually used by the game

[ocean comet]

i delete the scrip all together, both copies... it still applying somehow, it doesnt exsit in my gamma folder at all

[azure bluff]

StalkerGamma\mods\G.A.M.M.A. Artefacts Reinvention

[ocean comet]

i dotn have a StalkerGamma folder

[azure bluff]

then go to your MO2 and see where the file comes from:

[azure bluff]

StalkerGamma is just an arbitrary name of a folder where i installed GAMMA on my drive.

[ocean comet]

why did the folder change??? , i move nothing and it use to use this one .Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A the hell?

i even checked last time !

it used .Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A

[azure bluff]

you can find out exactly where the used file comes from using this feature:

[ocean comet]

i did that like 2 hrs ago, it was a different folder

[azure bluff]

anyway, i'm assuming your problem is solved, you found out where the file is located and now can actually edit it

[ocean comet]

yeah, it somehow change itself... maybe cus it finally accpeted the anomalus backpack? cus that stuff solve itself somehow

[hoary cipher]

It is suboptimal sure but notepad++ looks odd lol, and I have managed well enough with standard notepad writing full scripts and configs

I'll change maybe eventually

[ocean comet]

it a QoL for sure, but you can leave without, aslong as you dont cross editing files with thousand lines, then it quite a must

[azure bluff]

Ehhh, i understand the reluctance. You have workflow already, sure. The difference however is so large that once you actually switch and gain some proficiency you'll look back on using the notepad for everything as ... primitive.

• no workspace setup, just single files (though notepad added tabs in win11 !!!! )
• no symbol navigation (jumping to functions, variable declarations)
• no workspace text search
• no file navigation by name from the editor
• no syntax highlight
• no syntax completion
• probably much more i just can't list off the top of my head.

[hoary cipher]

That does sound pretty good I suppose hardest issue if finding specific functions in giant scripts right now lol

[grave ridge]

heres my (unfinished) plan for the layout

[azure bluff]

looks great. Now if you find enough mercy in your heart to document in english how to actually work with the maps that'd be great. The russian tutorials recommended earlier have a glaring issue - they're russian.

[grave ridge]

Im trying my best to get a working pipeline

definitely not there yet

but it doesn't seem hopeless, from where i'm standing

[azure bluff]

did you find an editor-ready version of darkscape?

[grave ridge]

nope, current plan is re-creation

but that may change

[summer stream]

i have a question
what SDK are you going to use

[grave ridge]

currently blender, IX-RAY and a separate anomaly-capable compiler

[summer stream]

nice

[azure bluff]

damn... What about the issue with edited maps shifting everything around by ID? Did you come up with some way to deal with that without spending, what other described as hundred of hours, fixing everything?

Maybe this problem only applies to maps that have some plot-significant objects and adding an entirely new map requires no such changes.

[grave ridge]

from what I have found so far, this issue is caused by the way object ids in a level are linked to smart-terrain areas

so it means either i have to find a way to extract the smart terrain references from the original darkscape and then make my map objects line up with them 1 for 1

or i have to replace the references, making sure I copy everything that the previous darkscape would have had

since I can kinda just treat the map like an entirely new level and replace the transitions that would take you to the old darkscape with mine, im probably gonna end up going with the latter

but tbh I just don't know enough about it to make a fully educated decision yet

[azure bluff]

good luck, meanwhile i'm trying to make my capsule camera collider to start actually fucking colliding....

[hoary cipher]

Wait this is 🔥

[dire rain]

looks good imo

[dire rain]

Somehow, this makes me remember this other concept of Darkscape for X mod:

[dire rain]

and take this:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/mega-asset-pack-map/addons/mega-asset-pack-2-rc1

[dire rain]

I believe that this should have the files of Darkscape:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/downloads/cocs-sdk-scene-update

[rigid sail]

Does look very promising. One thing I'd say, it might be better with some feature added to the forest area around the SW Cordon entrance. I can kinda see wanting to keep an aspect of that original forest, but unless you plan to shrink the map by a noticeable amount, it's still going to be a large, mostly empty forest (With consistent high tier mutant spawns if it's kept at base). It's kinda it's worst aspect.

Maybe fork the road. The south passes by a small military outpost (Protecting the road to behind their checkpoint in Cordon). The north passes through the forest, forking off towards the small camp, passing by maybe a building (with Stalker spawns), then meets up with the other fork to head up into the new area, or the original road.

[dire rain]

(A bit unrelated) perhaps would be better take this darkscape as base:

The geometry would be compatible with the Darkscape of CoC/Anomaly because it has the OG Geometry of Darkscape, and this version of the map share a lot of concepts with the other so would be less work.

I double checked, the only file being overridden that I know of is the aek ltx itself

[teal compass]

but u said it didnt work so either the ltx u did was wrong or theres other dltx that override it

and I dont know what u hav on ur install

no other reposition mods aside from the ones in base gamma, im gonna try again in a bit since I do have a feeling I did get something wrong

[teal compass]

if u can show it maybe I can tell

[wintry oracle]

I will in a minute, I think Ive been changing the hands values, rather than the base values

[teal compass]

ahh then I would suggest changing the base

[wintry oracle]

cause I was using the MAS editor rather than the actual draggable editor, so I was doing everything manually, and I dont use MAS anymore

[teal compass]

idk anything about mas but I use the base offset for any repos

the MAS editor doesnt use the base values, so Ive been adjusting literally everything

didnt work :/

[modest path]

Hey everyone .
I’m trying to figure out how radio / base music works in STALKER GAMMA on a deeper level.

I know how to add music to the PDA playlist, but I’m specifically looking for how to extract or change the radio / base music that plays in locations across the Zone (smart terrains, bases, ambient radios, etc.).

The reason is that a lot of the current songs are copyrighted, and playing or streaming GAMMA with no music (or very limited music) honestly kills the atmosphere. I’m considering replacing those tracks with AI-generated music that keeps a similar theme, mood, and even general lyrical ideas, but without using the original copyrighted recordings.

If anyone knows:

where the radio/base music is actually defined (configs, sound_theme, smart terrains, scripts)

how to properly extract and replace those files in GAMMA

or has already done something similar

I’d really appreciate some pointers 🙏
Thanks in advance!

[rough lion]

Isn't there a "no copyrighted music" mod for Gamma by default?

[modest path]

there is, its kinda meh, im talking like to grab most recognizable songs and make with ai something close or similar vibe. but the way that YouTube and twitch don't strike you for copyright

Hey LVutner, any chance you'd know why the render thread sometimes jumps drastically to 3 times it's normal value (8~9ms to 25~33ms), mostly from wait_L in certain areas? I'm trying to diagnose some frame issues that are erratic

[wooden cosmos]

Hi
What script/code exactly?
Take in mind I'm not a Lua expert, though

[naive snow]

Thanks I'll have a go at these

[sudden inlet]

Like overall. I found out there is table.concat method, but maybe there is some other approaches to this issue

[lilac ibex]

volumetrics^

also, you may want to look into ixr repo

[wooden cosmos]

https://onecompiler.com/lua/449f75hkd
The original function has a complexity of O(n²).
The auto-fixed (by ALAO) function has a complexity of O(n).
For huge data (say, 100k iterations), it works approximately 150x faster.
It also prevents unnecessary memory allocations, further reducing GC pressure.

[wooden cosmos]

There are no universal approaches, it's all about understanding how memory works and how Lua VM transforms your code

[naive snow]

Dayum that's pretty harsh. I tried getting a couple of renderdoc frames, but I couldn't get reproductible frame times from there.
What do you use for your frame captures^

[wooden cosmos]

Judging by like 90% of stalker mods, they never heard of allocation

[lilac ibex]

optick

[naive snow]

No dice, oh well. I'll have a look at the ixr repo, but my guess is that the occlusion portals that are in the truck cemetery are just badly setup

The moment you look in a certain direction or in certain reproductible spots, you get horrible frame spikes

25.61ms of Wait-L

[brave kernel]

Anyone know which line I need to edit in order to move my minimap up a bit? Trying to fix my dynahud compass

[wooden cosmos]

I've added some explanation of those patterns to ALAO github page - https://github.com/Priler/anomaly_alao
In short:
a) table.insert(t, v) becomes t[#t+1] = v
b) Repeated db.actor, alife(), etc. calls caching (makes local pointer variable, no GC pressure as it's stored on the stack)
c) math.pow(x, 2) becomes x * x
d) math.pow(x, 0.5) becomes math.sqrt(x)
e) table.getn(t) becomes #t
f) string.len(s) becomes #s

• that string_concat fix

Alao now also supports nil guard reports and dead code reports (alongside auto-fixing some of those).

[sudden inlet]

Appreciate!

[wooden cosmos]

However keep in mind, ALAO is more like a proof-of-concept.
So things can go wrong.
That's why it has multi-layer scripts protection and multiple dummy proof mechanics

I also faced quite a funny performance issue with Interactive 3D PDA mod.
For some reason it was rendering all 1000+ UI elements when you open the "Interactive" tab, causing a heavy lag for like few seconds.

[lilac ibex]

xD

[wooden cosmos]

And one of the most well optimized mods are from Catspaw

Idk who it is, but his mods is an example of how code should be written

Anyways, I've rewrote the Interactive 3D PDA mod with proper lazy UI rendering and it now works faster than ever

[sudden inlet]

He wrote some of the best mods like #1351707279036121230
It's kinda sad they are now disabled by default in gamma

[wooden cosmos]

Imagine a world where all the Anomaly mods would be written in C++ or Rust

https://tenor.com/view/cat-kat-kitty-kitten-evil-gif-10545349572153573100

Although I kinda hate C++, with all those awkward pipelines, LTCG issues, etc.
I wonder why xray-monolith doesn't use LTO and like Clang for build pipeline.

It's like, I've forked it and tried to implement some proper read/write locks.
And it worked fine for xstrings.
But for ISpatial LTCG made me go brrrr

Devs of AOE told me they did the same thing.
Implemented a proper RWLock for xstrings and ISpatial

And I saw the same implementation with IXray, they also have RWLock

I think back in 2006 (or when xray was developed?) things like read/write locks was not so popular
And they thought like "hey, let's put a fkn exclusive locks everywhere"

And now your engine burns CPU time for no reason because of exclusive locks everywhere

[cloud bluff]

Abraham are you Priler in moddb ?

[wooden cosmos]

Yeah

[cloud bluff]

somethin goofy is happening with the autocomplete mod keeps giving tasks that you legit complete as non completion

[wooden cosmos]

could you enable debug and send me the logs after that issue?
I guess it's with mutant tasks, kinda hard to track those mfs

[cloud bluff]

nah it was kill a npc quest

someone else had the same problem in the comments he says

[wooden cosmos]

oh that's strange
I should check assault tasks better
I mean I have a task from Sidorovich to kill a CS guy .. but I can't do it for like a week now xD
He's always chilling at the campfire telling jokes, how am I supposed to kill him

[cloud bluff]

whatever changed from 26dec version was no good

i killed zombies for butcher and got no completion and killed this bandit in cordon by myself no companions

and got no completion as well

[wooden cosmos]

can't tell without logs
I'll check those tasks better next time
last update was about better handling of mutant tasks

[cloud bluff]

you mean the appdata logs ?

[wooden cosmos]

yeah, but you should have Debug enabled in Fair Autocomplete MCM

it will log everything

[cloud bluff]

alright

[sudden inlet]

They also dream about scripts on python btw

[wooden cosmos]

As a Python dev, idk :3
I don't think it was made for this.
But it 100% got a better abstraction things code wise.
I mean, if stalker mods were using script merger and script annotations like witcher script does, it would be lot better.

Compared to Lua, Python can offer much more than a stupid monkey-patching.
decorators, context managers, duck typing, metaclasses, dataclasses, and even a full blown reflection

One cool thing is that Python can modify itself at a runtime
you just import ast and bam, monkey patching at syntax level

[cloud bluff]

Which files i have to edit so X faction NPC's wont spawn in X location ?

[sudden inlet]

Any chance you also know why calling a function through local variable saves you some execution time?
https://onecompiler.com/lua/449quzt39

[patent remnant]

i get this when trying to import an omf file into blender. I cant rlly discern what its trying to tell me

[quasi narwhal]

anything stored as a local variable will result in less table lookups, thus being faster

math.atan is performing a lookup on math every time you call it

same goes for tables linked to each other, Lua abstracts a lot of that because you're not dealing with pointers

every time I see a script accessing db.actor like 5 times in a row I cringe a little

you're accessing a huge object/table multiple times to grab the same instance, it's crazy

[sudden inlet]

Do we really care about execution time and these microoptimizations tho? Isn't it like very very fast anyway?
I am recalling something from IXR chat that the main issue was lua garbage collector that lead to micro freezes

[quasi narwhal]

yeah micro freezes are common in GC'd languages, but when it comes to games where you have thousands and thousands of functions running simultaneously, I'd say any performance improvement is valid

[sudden inlet]

Right, fair enough

[quasi narwhal]

though the main problem when it comes to Anomaly mods is most of them lack even very basic things you can do to write faster code, like transforming lists into lookup tables for O(1) accessing etc

so yeah, the perf gain of avoiding a lookup like that (math.*) is minimal

[whole kayak]

Hey question has anyone ever made a bandit themed weapon pack? Like clear sky and duty get one of the arguably ak variants but has anyone ever made something similar for the bandits?

[wooden cosmos]

locals always faster in Lua, as already explained by Sickhowl
in your code a.b.c performs 3 lookups

[wooden cosmos]

GC runs every X time to clean up the garbage
You can reduce those microstutters by increasing GC step
However, it's only valid for poorly optimized allocations

But Lua scripts also contain CPU pressure issues
Like the lookups we're talking about
In a game like Anomaly, where literally all the things tied up to a single core .. things like this can end up in microstutters

Even auto-fixes applied by ALAO reduces frametime drastically

[grizzled bison]

hi guys, first time trying to "mod" the game, so im gonna give you some context, right now i am playing with MAS, MASG, PUSSY, BAS, JUANS GUNS, FWP, 3DSS and 3DSSG(both from base), and when i was playing a encountered a stash with an VSSK Vykhlop with an Reap-IR scope(PUSSY), and when i detached the scope i realized that i could attach to my MKGS Banshee(JUAN), but it did not come with the thermal reticle, going deeper in the search, i encountered in the PUSSY files, that the gauss scope was override by the Reap-IR, and the Banshee accepts the gauss scope, so that is why the switch between weapons work, but the reticle didnt. So now i get to the point, in these mods, they have files that are similar(i think), like: "wpn_scope_gauss_world.ogf"(BAS), "mod_system_z_3DSS_banshee.ltx"(ATHIS PATCH), "wpn_banshee9j.ltx"(JUAN) and so on, (there is more but im not in my pc right now) and i was wondering if i can unify this files, so that i can use the scope with thermal in the banshee, im not asking for someone to do that, im asking for guidance.

at first, i think that i have to edit ogf files and mess with blender(?), but i think what matters is to change the reticules not the scopes itself

i know that athis made a 3dss patch for this gun in specific, but i want to dive in modding and he removed the gauss scope and other scopes, and i wish to learn so that i can use this knowledge to another scopes and so on. Thank you in advance to whoever answers.

[teal compass]

ok so that's a lot of text, but b4 answering imma have some questions, what is pussy because I absolutely dont know, and why do u have both 3dss and 3dssg when gamma only requires the lateral one

also, the "wpn_scope_gauss_world.ogf" is only the world model, it doesnt touch whatever model on the gun because the scope is acutally in the gun mesh itself

idk how pussy works but I think ur best bet is to replace the scope mesh from gauss scope to reapir

which u def need blender

[fair canopy]

best bet is to ask @last yew

[teal compass]

true

[last yew]

Nothing to do with the sight mod.

The reticle on the Gauss Sight is whatever is set in the OGF, the file is not overwritten

I'm not sure what the issue is exactly, that's a huge word salad, but if you want the same reticle for the weapon you can just copy the reticle file you want and overwrite the reticle file you don't want

In either 3DSSG or Pizza's Ultimate Sight Selection for Anomaly, go to gamedata/textures/wpn/scope_reticles/

[celest forge]

If it's one of my guns, I didn't make any 3DSS or MAS patch for it

Maybe ATHI did but then he probably didn't make his 3DSS patch compatible with MAS

[safe mountain]

anyone know where i might find the 1pn93-1 thermal notepad? i have MAS installed and couldent fing it in mod_system_zzz_mas_scopes_bas, want to change s3ds_image_type to 3 so its a rainbow thermal

I made my own playlist for the PDA radio and added it, but for some reason whenever I go to play it, the game just zooms through all of the songs then stops playing, and won't let me even change stations until I hit a load screen, anyone know why?

[trim jungle]

I couldn’t immediately tell you why but there is a number of things that need to be done for the songs to play correctly- naming convention, sampling rate, correct conversion to .ogg, and so on

Did you follow a guide and how did you convert the songs?

[summer girder]

Are the songs in mono channel, 44.1kHz, and has no . before .ogg?

[brave kernel]

Ah, didn't know I also had to change the channels and kHz. I just convered MP3 to OGG files then edited the zone_radio file

Guessing I have to open the MP3s in an audio editor to change those THEN export to ogg?

[trim jungle]

Yeah

[summer girder]

!radio

[queen pine]

@brave kernel Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[brave kernel]

Bet, thank y'all!

[trim jungle]

and it's the same process for the radio stations, just name them track_x.ogg and put them in Anomaly\gamedata\sounds\radio_channel_1 and 2

[brave kernel]

Had to throw a speed increase on the tracks cause of the kHz change but it works properly now, ty!

[grizzled bison]

long story short, the pussa changed the "gauss_sight/scope" to the "Trijicon REAP-IR" (if im understanding this correct), and the gun "mkgs banshee9j(juans gun mod)" accepts the "gauss_sight/scope" so he also accepts the "Trijicon REAP-IR" , but not in thermal mode. So my question was to know which files would be necessary for me to modify to put the sights in thermal mode. But as Juan said, Athi made a patch only with 3DSS, without MAS and without "gauss sight/scope", and I'm wanting to make this patch for my own use.
Sorry for the word salad, in Portuguese, it makes more sense.

[naive snow]

The script gamemode_ironman.script looks up new_game_options which uses the strings to define iron.life_cycle, which is what you want to modify

incrementing the current table and inserting your new value as the new element_1 = 12,st_new_game_days should do it. It does require however a new save

[last yew]

I'm well aware of what Pizza's Ultimate Sight Selection for Anomaly is. That's my mod.

As for your issue, that's completely different to what was said before, but that's a really easy fix. You just need to go into the configs of the gun you're trying to fix, find where it says [wpn_(weapon name)_gauss_sight] and if it has s3ds_image_type = set it to 2, and if it doesn't, add that line in somewhere.

[teal compass]

whats ur export setting

[teal compass]

that should be right

[ashen hatch]

[teal compass]

I think I saw someone with the same situation but I got no clue either

maybe it depends on blender ver?

I use 3.3 btw

[ashen hatch]

I tried

from 5.0 to 4.3

[teal compass]

maybe its still too new

[teal compass]

I really recommend watching 3dss guides

[grizzled bison]

yeah, i was trying by following the documentation in the moddb page, i guess now its time for frosty

but i think the problem its in the paths, i followed the messages from Burn, but it was from 2024 so idk

[ashen hatch]

So I have to reset it then, right?

[teal compass]

ok

exporting ogf is really just the right settings

[naive snow]

It's still valid, maybe try the other configuration tabs in the xray plugin page. Depending on what's your issue that is

[ashen hatch]

well uuh something is wrong

I could be wrong

[astral stratus]

Does some one know where i can edit ammo type, damage, firerate and so on for the AUG 9mm Infiltrator and AUG 9mm Spectre Tactical?

[teal compass]

very likely

[naive snow]

Blue just means your textures aren't loading, either the ogf doesn't have the right paths, the compression format of the texture is wrong or the files simply aren't part of your current mod

[ashen hatch]

nah the textures arent the issue

I didnt set them yet

the problem is the gun itself

the gun is a few times bigger than my companion, the components are placed correctly

[teal compass]

hows the anim

[teal compass]

is that worldmodel

[ashen hatch]

no, its hud

[naive snow]

Did you apply the transforms in blender before exporting?

[ashen hatch]

what transforms?

[naive snow]

The transform in blender refers to the location, rotation and scale of an object.
Each Mesh and Object in blender has its own. You need to ''apply'' them so that a scaled model size goes to 1,1,1 instead of 0.657 or whatever it is scaled at

[naive snow]

Did you change the size of the grid in blender? Cause if not, every one of those squares on the grid is a representation of a meter, a 1mx1m, so your gun is like 9 meters by 6m

[ashen hatch]

oh lmao

I will change that

thank you

[teal compass]

[naive snow]

Import into your scene another pistol ogf and you'll be able to scale it accordingly

[ashen hatch]

I scaled the imported reference weapon instead of the model

yeah this makes a shit ton of sense now

[naive snow]

If you're playing with scales, once you're done, make sure to apply those so they become the object's new resting scale:

You can just apply Scale if you'd prefer or are still moving stuff about

An easy way to visualize scale is just to spawn a cube, they default to 1 cubic meter, so you can scale it to 0.1 to get an idea of 10cm or heck, change the unit system in blender to freedom units if you'd rather scale a move in inches/foot

[ashen hatch]

I should've asked this yesterday before redoing everything 2 times

[ashen hatch]

Ill make sure to do this

[astral stratus]

And for some reason the inventory icon changes between the "upgraded" version and the base version whenever i flip the sights. When i have other weapons equipped and use the scroll-wheel to flip the sight, it unequips the Aug completely, even though i have no keys assigned to "next/previous weapon".

I managed to unbind the scroll wheel from switching my weapons in the modded exes menu, but it still unequips my weapons, when i have more, than one weapon in my loadout.

Combine the armature or transfer the meshes to be under the same object and modifier

[grizzled bison]

whats the better option with less chance that i mess up completely? and the transfer meshes data, is it to transfer the vertex groups? im following the frostys guide but he imported the sight in a already attached gun and transfered to his gun, but i am doing by getting the gauss sight/reap-ir .ogf from pussa.

[simple scaffold]

use the debug item spawner to get the section name of the gun. then use a tool like notepad++ that can search for text inside an entier folder of files and point it at your mo2 mods folder and search for those guns section names to find the files.

https://anomaly-modding-book.netlify.app/docs/references/configs/items/weapons/weapon-world

[twilit scaffold]

I have a noob question. Anybody can tell me where to find all the individual weapon stat in gamma ? I tried to make some changes in the UI in t he game but it doesnt apply. Wheres the exact file location?

[naive snow]

You ''join'' the mesh so they're under the same object in the blender hierarchy. You then make sure that each mesh has their own armature modifier (assign the proper armature in there and the mesh) and redo the vertex group if needed (it shouldn't be necessary, just make it the right bone name)

[misty mulch]

this question has a VERY complicated answer. you're better off just looking at the weapon database pinned in #╟🔰☢newbies-chat

[ruby rover]

I'm not really sure if this is exactly the right place to ask, but it does involve modmaking. Does anyone for certain know which dialogue files GAMMA makes edits to? I know the guy in Yantar you can trade vodka for ammo with has more options in GAMMA and that there's extra dialogue ofc for the weapon restrictions.

[simple scaffold]

see above. unless it is an unmodified base game gun then the file would be in the compressed anomaly files. they look like this: https://github.com/Tosox/STALKER-Anomaly-gamedata/blob/v1.5.2/gamedata/configs/items/weapons/w_mp5.ltx

[simple scaffold]

in mo2 under the data tab look to see what gamedata/configs/gameplay/dialogs_*.xml files exist. any directly edited dialog files with be there. as for dxml dialog edits you need to look in the script folder for dxml_*.script and inspect each script to see if it is editing a dialog xml

*not mine, lol

[grave ridge]

been working on a sculpted terrain that i'll then retopologize for xray, the trees are kinda just there for flavour and scale - not necessarily indicative of how I'll eventually place them

it's not done yet, but I thought I'd post an update now since I hadn't in a while

heres my slightly edited 2d map too

[tawny prawn]

does anybody know how to find tarkov case icons in the files?

like pistol case, weapons case, meds case, etc...

i need the icons

for the cases

since im trying to mod them for GAMMA

in tarkov files there are only ''bundle'' files

but i think those are 3dmodels, textures, meshes

[teal compass]

I think tarkov icon are rendered based on the model

[summer stream]

rendered in-game

[tawny prawn]

ahh ofc it is..fucking Nikita degenerate

fucking bsg coders

[tawny prawn]

i guess its screenshots and editing then

which is not that bad honestly but ehh

[summer stream]

blender renders

to be exact

[summer stream]

unity moment

[tawny prawn]

i dont know how to use it

[tawny prawn]

....fuck me

[summer stream]

ask frosty or juan

[tawny prawn]

fkn unity dude

[tawny prawn]

1 question tho

ok so

is there a way to "extract"

the icons

through blender?

is what you are saying

[summer stream]

yes

you press f12, it renders the icon out
ur done

[tawny prawn]

fuck me

[summer stream]

just depends on the render engine

[tawny prawn]

kidding me?

[summer stream]

there's three of them

[tawny prawn]

aha i see i see

i mean if its that easy

i might ask them preety please

[summer stream]

workbench, just plain thing, no textures
EEVEE is the simple one
Cycles is the most complicated

[tawny prawn]

i dont need all of them afterall just a couple cases

[summer stream]

don't worry there's also models

[tawny prawn]

hahahahahahaah

[summer stream]

and textures with bumps

if you want to make it a separate thing

[tawny prawn]

oh shit i forgot about that

well i mean

[summer stream]

yep

[tawny prawn]

if it doesnt have a model

it will crash on ''drop'' item

since ogf world model wouldnt exist

shit..

[summer stream]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-ishowspeed-sped-sped-monkey-fnaf-jumpscare-gif-24611965

[tawny prawn]

yo thats wild xd

so maybe

to avoid that i can make them not dropable?

so only inventory or container

[summer stream]

requires work with engine

or you can look into the thing with brain sorcher

[tawny prawn]

i would use the ammo crate stuff

from that mod

[summer stream]

where you pay to get that thing so ur brain wouldn't cook

[tawny prawn]

just copy paste for each case

and adjust values

such as inv size xy

stuff liek that

[summer stream]

you really think it's that simple?

[tawny prawn]

rename every section with ammo_crate to corespondingname_crate

stuff liek that no?

like*

thats how i plan on doing it

idk if it will work

:d

[summer stream]

oh man good luck with that

[tawny prawn]

xd shit idk if i should even attempt it now..

[pure citrus]

WIP :P

[steel saddle]

they're temp files

Every 'icon' as you call them is a picture of the item that gets taken in an empty zone with two lights. it's called a previewpivot.

any further questions?

[steel saddle]

could also ask literally any SPT player to make icons for you

[summer stream]

uhhh

no

[steel saddle]

okay, try exporting through blender or whatever tf you were saying earlier

Tarkov saves all those little images to appdata somewhere, i just don't remember where

[vernal onyx]

I have a question. In GAMMA, do weapons and ammo have damage falloff based on bullet velocity?

[pure citrus]

:3

does it look good? any thoughts or feedback?

[summer stream]

finally we getting some feedback from ragdolls when they are dead

[quaint sand]

This is amazing, it looks like GTA 4 Euphoria System, is this a work in progress mod, or is it already released? I bet it will affect performance?

[pure citrus]

WIP

ill try to optimize it later

for now im just trying to make sure it works as i want it to

[idle forum]

Modified alphalion's map markers file, now I can atleast see something. Should I make seperate mod for it in moddb or just post it somewhere in discord?

[hoary cipher]

I like this

[fair canopy]

I'll be honest it thought this was a shit post of a rag doll hitting the griddy. Maybe a bit too much movement for a death throw

[pure citrus]

in wip, i fixed it to hold the chest now

[teal compass]

[tawny prawn]

a lot xd

wow man

ty so much for the icons, legendddd! 🍻

[steel saddle]

need any others?

[summer girder]

No, based on k_air_res

It starts at 0m

[tawny prawn]

thanks man i have all the icons now

i only needed a few

thank you so much legend

[tawny prawn]

Mind if i send you priv message?

[steel saddle]

go for it

[tawny prawn]

i dont want to clutter here i got a couple questions

[tawny prawn]

that gun build is sick afffffff

[fair canopy]

It's just the spear. There are like 3 spear mods out by different people

[teal compass]

the gunbuild simulator

[sacred token]

looks cool

if I had to nitpick it looked a bit weird that he crossed his arms in the end

[pure citrus]

i couldn't get the wound grabbing to work, had to resort to make the ragdoll hold it's chest in the end

[steel saddle]

you sure about that?

[fair canopy]

There's already an m110 too

[steel saddle]

You want a gun that gamma doesn’t have?

[fair canopy]

Sure

[sacred token]

Are you working with the engine or moving the bones via script?

[teal compass]

spt

[steel saddle]

and?

[teal compass]

I love the mods there

[fair canopy]

I think Juan did a tavor

[teal compass]

yeah he did

[steel saddle]

hmmmm

[lilac idol]

once upon a time i was making a tavor set

[steel saddle]

It's a fun one. Did the X95 and Tar21 back when SPT was on 3.9

[teal compass]

they made a tan one?

amazing

last time it only is balck

[steel saddle]

I'm the one that made the black one

https://tenor.com/view/airplane-kid-flip-off-middle-finger-the-bird-gif-5557777001751273893

[teal compass]

oh u made them amazing

🔥

[steel saddle]

yeah, i retired from SPT modding and Tron started redoing all of my old shit

[teal compass]

i see

[fair canopy]

An intervention that isn't lost in makas hard drive would be cool

[steel saddle]

Maka will probably gatekeep it till the end of time

[teal compass]

Maka being maka

i think lewd also have a cheytac

but uhh

no difference

[steel saddle]

and gamma has a barrett

OH

GG ez, Barrett M240 LSW

[teal compass]

or anomaly has one already

[steel saddle]

yo, the Barrett for SPT was so aids

[teal compass]

there was a m240 but got taken down

[steel saddle]

i had to repurpose SVD reload animations, lmao

[teal compass]

well now its so much easier lol

ak50

[steel saddle]

yup. Pre-ak 50, SPT's barrett was a big SVD cosplaying a .50 cal

[teal compass]

Yeah used that hella fun

🔥

[steel saddle]

sounds weren't too scuffed?

IDK how stalker does sound but tarkov has like

unsuppressed close, unsuppressed distant, unsuppressed far, unsuppressed indoors close, unsuppressed indoors distant

[teal compass]

only one for stalker

[steel saddle]

and then suppressed versions of each of those, it's aids

luckyyyyyy

[teal compass]

yeah i rippied the takrov bundles

so many fire sounds

[steel saddle]

yeah, fuck bsg and their soundbanks

those got chowdered with 1.0 too

so every weapon container from 3.9 and 3.11 had to be remade

[teal compass]

what did they change

[steel saddle]

one of the scripts

idk exactly what i've been out of the loop\

[teal compass]

I guess the loop sounds maybe

it got broken or stuff

[steel saddle]

i hated making loops and tails so much

[lone bone]

Yo how do I put an entirely new weapon into the game. I already did the model but I suck at scripting. I only find tutorials about editing weapon, but not for creating new one

[teal compass]

copy any config that matches the type and change the model and such

[summer stream]

you forgot

one thing

you need to apply wpn_body vertex group to it

then apply parent to knife's skeleton

AND then you apply armature of the model you made to knife's skeleton

[teal compass]

[lone bone]

Well it seems I need much longer than I thought. Thanks lol

[pure citrus]

via script

[lilac idol]

ohh so you modded them in?

[steel saddle]

That was me

[grizzled bison]

what does the "actor_on_net_destroy" do? in the script callback?

[balmy parrot]

was told to ask this here. is there any config file or something i could manually edit to extedn the PDA taskboard range beyond the 300 max? ideally id like it cover all of cordon and 300 doesnt seem to do it

[naive snow]

Edit your pda_taskboard_mcm.script and change the max value from 300. Tho I don't think Offline A-life npcs can give tasks so you'll probably encounter a hard limit at some point

[hidden gazelle]

Is there a "reloading drops ammo in magazine" mod? and no... I don't like the magazines mod, I just want to be punished for early reloads (Also is this the right place to ask this? there is way too many channels...)

[vernal onyx]

I wrote a guide on how to remove HUD icons.
I originally created it alongside a mod I posted on ModDB, but I think the guide itself could be useful to others as well.

[upper tulip]

trying to edit a script [Artigrok's Ammo] so that it will mark any artefact as crushable does the script format support some kinda wildcard catchall? if wanted to set every item that starts with af_ as crushable

[hoary cipher]

If you set every af_ in the game as crushable then you would be able to crush armor plates Camelbacks and every other form of outfit attachment like that

[hoary cipher]

Here or have a link to it in you mod description

[upper tulip]

i'd honestly rather accept that possibility than add all of Klondiak's artefacts xd

[versed bay]

hi everyone, does anyone know how can I adjust the thirst and hunger threshold of the character? like around 75% hydration the character would go thristy and has icon shown on HUD, but I want to adjust that, is it possible?

[hoary cipher]

Then you would have to edit the script to find if the item is a af_ then allow it to be crushed

[light patrol]

Hello. I use FrostyWeaponPack. Is there a way to solve the problem with laser sights of different colors (blue, green on different weapons)? The laser is not displayed in the night vision device.

[mortal steppe]

In KS23, the laser beam and laserdot were not working properly, so I changed the texture of the laserbeam and laserdot, but the laserdot did not change. What should I do?

[upper tulip]

make sure your Dynamic Object render distance is set to max

on >setttings>advanced

[mortal steppe]

i have already. If you look at the picture above, you can see that the laser dot is expressed in gray.

Laserbeam.dds applies the changes , but laserdot does not work.

Other weapons work, but KS23 doesn't.

[fair canopy]

did you update 3dssg to the lateste version or are you just doing things?

[mortal steppe]

This is the latest version

[mortal steppe]

I've never used KS23 before, and I just got it this time, so I don't know what color the laser is. What color is it originally?

[fair canopy]

green

the texture was misspelled. its an easy fix

[summer stream]

geen

[fair canopy]

ed

[mortal steppe]

👍

I'll be using the geen.dds file until the update comes out lol Thank you always!

[desert falcon]

Can anyone guide me on how to make bandage heal the overall health as well as stop bleeding

[inland hazel]

bros, does hit_power also affect damage received as well or does it just affect the player's own damage?

[hoary cipher]

It's probably something like health_restore_amount = or something like that best to look inside a medkits config to see

[naive snow]

Find the basic medkit in Debug, note the section name, open something like notepad++, search in all files, point it to your GAMMA folder, search using the section name you wrote earlier, one of those probably has the medkit health restore information in it's config or dltx section

[vernal onyx]

I tried to adjust the flashlight and torch distance by changing the range values in
mod_system_flashlight_beam_pattern.ltx (from Nicer Flashlight) and
items_devices.ltx (from Wildkins’s DAO Svarog Patch),
but neither of these changes had any effect.

Does anyone know which parameters or files actually control the light distance?

[naive snow]

Which of the flashlights are you trying to edit?
The handheld torch should be Deviec_Flashlight and the headlamp should be device_torch_dummy (you can figure out the NVG from there on)

[ashen hatch]

what does base_height do for gun textures?

[summer stream]

height CAN be used as bump#

[ashen hatch]

oooh thank you

[ashen hatch]

Is the toz194 ogf packed into the anomaly db folder?

[teal compass]

could be

[ashen hatch]

would it be hard to move the hand from the white grip to the black one?

the white one is the mossberg

[teal compass]

sure but u have to do it for every frame of every animation

[ashen hatch]

might as well unpack anomaly
