[teal compass]

may I suggest some anim that has the right grip anim

[ashen hatch]

yes please

rn I am looking at the ithaca

more or less fits

[teal compass]

u can take a look at the tco winchester

the set my ks23 and mp133 used

it has four sets, with or without foregrip and with or without pistolgrip

[teal compass]

could work but they eject shells differently

[ashen hatch]

shit youre right

Ill take a look at those

thank you

[teal compass]

[ashen hatch]

where would one find tco though? unless its already in base gamba

[teal compass]

uhhh u can just rip from my addon or there should be another one in mod posting

[ashen hatch]

I could but wouldnt it be better if I used the original anims?

[teal compass]

mp133 use exactly the same original

the hand anim have all the anims iirc

[ashen hatch]

alrighty

thank you again

[teal compass]

like this

[high ginkgo]

Is there a way to change the weapon part repair threshold?

I want it to be lower

[low silo]

Anybody know a console command or debug option to report the player's x, y, z coordinates, or to get the coordinates of point of aim?

[desert falcon]

Add on a entry for bandage in mod_system_drugs_balance_bhs_GAMMA.ltx in folder G.A.M.M.A. Medications Balance . and that is it

Thanks

[teal compass]

could be dltx overrides

[sterile ibex]

Where would I check for that?

[teal compass]

search through every mention of vz61 in all dltx files

https://www.ghacks.net/2016/09/16/use-notepad-to-find-text-in-all-files-of-a-folder/

I use this method

and it appears that mod_system_weapons_fixes_GAMMA.ltx in gamma weapon pack has vz61 set to slot 2

silencer_status                 = 2
slot                            = 2```

so prob just delete this slot line and should make things work

[sterile ibex]

You were right! I honestly have no clue why that slot identifier was even there though. Nothing else in that file talks about any slot. It's like it was purposefully put there to block what I was trying. Thank you again!

[abstract wind]

A bit late but did you resolve your issue? If you didnt i have spent ages trying to fix something similar and just got round it

[teal compass]

lol idk why it was there but at least its fixable

[crisp scarab]

Try this?

To view coordinates in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly (and by extension GAMMA), you can use the built-in console commands or the Debug HUD.

Method 1: Console Command (Fastest)

This method puts an overlay on your screen with your current position (Cam pos) and viewing direction (Cam dir).

Open the console by pressing ~ (tilde).

Type the following command and press Enter: rs_stats 1 or rs_stats on

To turn it off, type: rs_stats 0 or rs_stats off

Note: The coordinates will likely appear in the top-left or left side of the screen under "Cam pos" (Camera Position).

Method 2: Getting "Point of Aim" Coordinates (Freecam)

To get the exact XYZ coordinates of a spot you are looking at (without walking there), use the debug freecam.

Open the console (~).

Type demo_record 1 and press Enter.

Fly the camera to the exact spot you want to measure.

Controls: W/A/S/D to move, Space to go Up, Ctrl to go Down.

Look at the coordinates displayed on the screen (usually part of the demo_record overlay).

Optional: Press Enter to teleport your character to that spot, or Esc to return to your original body position.

Method 3: Debug Menu (GAMMA / Anomaly Launcher)

If the console commands don't work, ensure Debug Mode is enabled.

Enable Debug Mode:

Anomaly: In the game launcher, check the "Debug Mode" box before starting.

GAMMA: In Mod Organizer 2, select the Anomaly (DX11-AVX) executable from the drop-down, click the "Edit" (gears) icon, and add -dbg to the Arguments field.

In-Game:

Press F7 to open the Debug Menu.

Look for an option labeled "hud", "debug info", or "position" inside the menu or its sub-menus (often under "1" or "2" on the numpad once F7 is active). This will toggle the coordinate overlay.

[fallen lantern]

hey guys hope you are doing alright, im playing with mags redux mod, and id like to make shak 12 up magazines medium size and not large size anymore, if you have a solution id love it

[hoary cipher]

It's probably in the configs of the mags for them if they are custom new mags

You have to find the shak mag config

[brave kernel]

Yeah, it ended up being the level frame line at the top I had to change

[sterile ibex]

Does anyone know an easy way to realign the sights on a weapon? I suddenly realize the iron sights on the vz61/68 in my game are comically unaligned in how my character holds the gun. Additionally they don't actually deploy the folding stock even though they do the animation when they pull it out but I can live with that part.

[void tide]

you can try this to realign the gun: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/draggable-hud-editor

although the gun being misaligned can be caused by outdated 3dssg and/or mas (if u use mas)

[sterile ibex]

I haven't updated mods individually, so I'm not sure how one mod would be out of sync.

[void tide]

do you know of the internal names of the guns ur having problems with i would like to see them for myself in game :D

[sterile ibex]

So far the only one I've found is the skorpion. It's file is called the vz61.

[fair canopy]

this means you added a mod that overwrites the weapon but not the animation

fixing the position isnt going to fix the underlying problem

[void tide]

looks fine on my machine

[sterile ibex]

That would probably make sense. One moment while I double check something

[sterile ibex]

I can 100% confirm that the file I grabbed while making my one handed mod is NOT the file gamma uses for the skorpion anymore. Though it feels odd that this gun has a stock and we don't deploy it, that is again something I'll be happy to live with. Thank you!

[rustic willow]

Hey, quick question. Are there any mods that make it so enemies dont spawn near stash locations? I fast traveled to my little base I made and unfortunately there was a big group of mutants right there.

[naive snow]

Ask in #╓☢stalker-chat or #╟🔰☢newbies-chat , this isn't the right channel

[rustic willow]

My bad!

[wide stag]

does anyone know what mod handles the sound that plays when you open the trader menu?

[blissful marsh]

Greetings stalkers, I have a Q, is there PPS-43 in game, I did not see any ???

[summer girder]

!shit // Check weapon database for availability

[queen pine]

@blissful marsh Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[blissful marsh]

thanks for the link, ill see what is there

but logics dictate as it is ww2 weapon it would appear in low rank stakers, there is Ppsh-41 so I figured the legend of Battle of Lenningrad will be as well, but Stalin did downplay historicaly value of the weapon beause of politics

[summer girder]

What

[blissful marsh]

Looked at the data sheet, there is no Pps-43... what a shame

is there some kind stalker that could add it to the game ?

[blissful marsh]

but im no nodder 🙂

C'mon Legend of Leningrad 😉

forged in battle

from factory to the field of blood

no worries, shame that iconic weapon is not in game but I could at least give someone an idea

my bad, stalingrad not leningrad... 😉

[blissful marsh]

well, it seems it is leningrad... did a quick check

[thorny steeple]

What compression method should I use for what would be a UI element, I guess? I'm doing a personal remake of the Cordon map for funsies and I'm wanting to test out my first iteration.

[fair inlet]

I doubt there are any
I've seen Audio expansion playing pickup sounds for all items simultaneously though

[astral topaz]

What's stopping you from becoming one? Nobody here emerged from the womb knowing how to work with .ltx files or edit stuff in Blender.

[dreamy heath]

Ahoy gents and ladies. I would like to dive again into C++ stuff. It's been a while and I would like to know if there is now a standard way to hook libs on Anomaly. I saw in their "modding book" that the Monolith Engine have an API but the page is empty.

[lilac ibex]

what kind of libs

[thorny hill]

Someone made a fix for Kmacks PDX that removes the left shoulder clipping into frame on UW / HUD FOV >70. I can't find it tho. Does someone remember from where / who this was?

[naive snow]

8.8.8.8 no mips

[thorny steeple]

Any idea what program would let me do that? I ended up using BC3/DXT5 while testing yesterday and it seemed to work out but I don't think GIMP has 8.8.8.8 unless it goes by a different name for future use.

[naive snow]

The compression is none and the format itself is 8.8.8.8 or RGBA8

[thorny steeple]

I guess I'll need a new program, as neither of those are options in GIMP which is currently the only thing I have that lets me export .dds 🤔

Unless RXGB (DXT5) is equivalent.

[thorny steeple]

...Huh. No plugin or anything? Maybe I'm outdated or something.

NVM I'm stupid

[naive snow]

Did you try simply setting the Compression to none first?

[thorny steeple]

I did not and that's exactly what was wrong. Give me a break I just rolled out of bed and on my first cup of coffee 😭

Thank you very much, Burn!

[tropic jewel]

Hey guys I'm wondering if you could help point me in the right direction, I'm looking to make a new ballistics system I want to essentially invert how it is currently in gamma. I want bullets to be the main damager and guns are a multiplier to simulate barrel length

I'm not entirely sure how to change gun damage from being a base damage to a multiplier aside from I know it's going to be a annoying script to make so was hoping you all new of a script that did similar things

[glacial ridge]

does anyone know where I would find the sound file for the armsel protecta firing? I find it too quiet and want to make it louder

[tawny prawn]

if its part of BaS maybe in BaS files then

im not sure what is that gun a part of tho

its vanilla gamma for sure

[glacial ridge]

I think that it is vanilla stalker gun

[tawny prawn]

There ya go, find the base gun sounds maybe in gamedata or something idk

[teal compass]

should be this section in weapon_sounds.ltx of Oleh's Weapons Sounds Tweaks and Fixes:

@last yew Ahoy stalker. I'm trying to use your PiP mod but so far, I can't make it working. The install has go smoothly with MO2, the mod is in the bottom of the loading list, no override warning of some sort and log files dosen't seem to report any problems. However, my scopes (I've try with different ones) still behave like they did before your mod installation.

[last yew]

Don't use that mod. Use this instead: https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1445642460779909211

[vernal pendant]

Has anyone ever made a mod to overhaul the spawn system in the game? The one thing that gets old for me is always knowing that a cat always spawns there, flesh always spawn there, bandits always spawn there, etc. Once you get familiar with an area it never surprises you anymore

hello everyone, is there a way to make weapon field of view always like this ? like "crouch stance" that would be awesome !

Hola. Did anyone had the same problem about custom models which are missing half in the game?

Check what side your face normals are facing. They're probably flipped

Well, that is something I didn't mind. I look after the faces.

It seems you are right about the flipped faces. Now I just need to do a few fine adjusted

@last yew Time to make ATRR for GAMMA!

Is there a way tweak NPC moving speed ? I swear to god, the last time I saw peoples going sideway that fast it was during a drifting contest in Germany.

I still stand by my determination against it.

Unless I'm being paid, but let's be honest, almost nobody who's playing GAMMA has the amount I'd ask for in their bank account.

Ok, I manage to do it but now, I would like to make my changes in a separate mod that could be distributed. I noticed that some ltx section are precedeed by a ! mark, so I supposed that for an override, right ?

[lilac idol]

#883097205710389288 message

[naive snow]

Correct, based on the load order. Read the moddin book to know about DLTX

[naive snow]

Tactical kits are just ''scopes'' with a different icon, the gun model just gets swapped. Like any gun without MAS, a scope just points to a new section like [w_ak47_Aimpoint] or whatever

[dreamy heath]

That's exactly what I found and did. I create a new "scope", named alfa and tadaaa, my AK-104 turned into it's Alfa variant.

[dreamy heath]

I wouldn't mind a link for that moddin book. Rn, I've move my change to separate files but my kit doesn't appear in the spawn menu (while it did with a lazy file edit).

[naive snow]

Check the pins of the channel or just google search for it

There is a Lua function for it. In the F7 debug window there's a script executor.

Hi, who knows where the location of the caliber icon for the weapon magazine can be set?

No, the location of the caliber texture on the magazine.

@trim aspen Is there a way to make your weather_saturation.script account for user adjsuted saturation? I also can't post in the thread because its full so I dunno where else to ask this

[trim aspen]

open the script and edit it per weather you can also add weather cycles if you want more customization its pretty easy

[unique crag]

Alright, I was gonna do that if there wasn't a more dynamic solution

[quartz hill]

maybe your file name doesn't end with mcm.script?

[fossil ledge]

omg this! tysm. I can't express my gratitude enough

[dawn token]

I randomly check mods making discussion and find peak

[ashen hatch]

does anyone know what could cause the main icon to disappear whenever I attach a scope to it? silencers dont cause such issues

[sudden inlet]

If you are just starting I can recommend MCM menu builder, it's a simple API for MCM https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/mcm-builder

[split igloo]

hey guys. dumb question maybe but how do you upload a mod to moddb so its placed properly under anomaly?

i built a profiler so you can check the functions during runtime and all and take some measurements. dont ask me why i dont know myself. but @sudden inlet suggested to upload it. just i never modded anything or uploaded a mod to moddb so i am a bit lost on the process rn

as an addon to anomaly?

[sudden inlet]

You go to anomaly moddb, go to addons page and there would be a plus button on top right of mod list

[split igloo]

yeah found that. as far as packaing goes, just zip the folder with the gamedata folder inside?

[sudden inlet]

Yeah

Game data should be first folder of your archive

[sharp python]

Is there an easier way to make sure a weapon reposition is aimed at the middle of the screen while hip firing, or is just vibes?

[teal compass]

prob because u changed the icon for the scope section

Such a small change that could completely revolutionize and solidify the true danger of anomalies. Don't trip!

I'm not well versed enough to look into code, but the thumbnail?
Just draw some stick figures in Paint.net

[split igloo]

It wanted a thumbnail. What can I do. Better than slapping Text on fill in paint

I'd argue that's better than ai slop

I think i ll expand the bounty hunting gameplay. Are there mods for that already?

I wanted to expand the warfare system but then I keep thinking about auxiliary systems that might be cool to have beforehand

[austere reef]

@quartz hill @restive forge So I'm assuming (moving here since it seems more appropriate) that I just have to use the unpacker tool in anomaly. Will this have any performance issues, do I need to account for 4 gorillion GB of space?

[quartz hill]

use db_unpacker (not db_unpacker_all)

[austere reef]

I'm most definitely not new to modding, but I never messed with Stalker until this moment, and I feel like I'm about to fall into a rabbit hole when I wanted to do something seemingly simple.

Well that was fast. Ahh, I see what it did.

[quartz hill]

yeah just configs and scripts

upgrades are in configs/items/weapons/upgrades

This seems like I could just copy over the sks upgrade path, rename it, and use that.

@quartz hill I don't know how to change the name of the upgrade though to reflect the .338, still says 7.62x54. Know where the localization might be for that?

maybe these then?

That was indeed the issue, thanks for the help

you should be able to do a selective xml overwrite by placing this in a file in gamedata/configs/text/eng and making sure its name comes after st_items_weapons_upgrades alphabetically

I was able to do it by just adding the string into the M1 Garand's existing text strings.

[quartz hill]

yeah that works too lol

[quartz hill]

wait i'm stupid this would have changed it for that upgrade for every weapon that used it

[thorny steeple]

What would be the best way to edit a bumpmap? I'm so used to working with normals that are opaque images and I'm wanting to edit the textures on a Vintorez from FWP and the bump is like... transparent? I'm not entirely sure how to work around that.

[scarlet granite]

Hello, so yesterday I created my first mod for Stalker and everything worked pretty smooth. It's a placeable alarm system bases on the Furniture mod and I got everything working expect Monster detection. Stalkers work just fine. Do I need to look for every monster type by itself?

[scarlet granite]

Got it working by checking every monster class.

[scenic hatch]

Can anyone direct me to a modder who could help me to navigate G.A.M.M.A trader profiles? I know some basics but it seems some traders ignore their profiles and resort to some injection or DLTX, I'm really not sure how it is done, but I would like to know how to block some traders from buying certain item categories or how would I go about creating a thematic trader, like a cook, or a medic and implement those changes in profile to GAMMA base traders.

[scarlet granite]

I have sadly not figured out how to change the audible distance of sounds (I fried creating a .ltx config but I probably got something wrong). I'm pretty happy with it.

Would you guys say it should set the entitys it detects into combat state?

[rough lion]

Use SAVandT to adjust audible distance of sounds https://www.metacognix.com/files/stlkrsoc/SAVandT_1.1.7z

Make sure that sounds that dont come from the player character are set to "Mono" instead of "Stereo"

[scarlet granite]

Worked perfeclty, thank you. Maybe a bit to good hahaha.

[hoary cipher]

I'm sure it is but I figure I'll ask anyway, is it possible to make GL round become like a smoke or light source? I was thinking using glowsticks for the basis of light GL rounds but is there any hard c++ blockers to that idea?

[full vessel]

I'm not sure if you can do this to optimize or not depending on how this code is checking for it, but you should be able to call IsStalker(obj)) or (obj and IsMonster(obj)) to get any object that is a stalker or a monster regardless of specific entity class

But that could be for a different function entirely. I think you'd need to be calling for objects specifically to use this. Not sure if it can work with the clsid stuff

I know it works with ray casts and stuff

[scarlet granite]

Yeah I was also thinking of just checking if its not the player hahaha

[full vessel]

Wouldn't that cause it to trip if you like, throw a grenade or something? Assuming it can detect any object passing by it

[scarlet granite]

I don't really like the idea of an infrared sensor not detecting the player but it gets annoying as hell when you use it to protect your base

[full vessel]

Use sci-fi logic. "The player, uhm, has an ID tag that is blacklisted on the sensor.. yeah!"

[scarlet granite]

I have to try if throwing a hand grenade under my carport triggers the light.

[split igloo]

Trying to build a complete bounty and notoriety system complete with contracts that can be taken by NPC Stalkers or the player (including set out on the player).

[thorny steeple]

RE: Would you guys say it should set the entitys it detects into combat state?

I feel like in most cases if an enemy is pathing into your base they're already in a combat state. Also, with the example, would it go off for all Stalkers? I can foresee it getting annoying if you have even one companion let alone a couple since they can't ever fucking sit still while I'm doing my base business.

Or, exactly like your example, if you're based out of Yanov where you have 2 trailer park dudes going 'round the outside potentially tripping it every like... minute or so.

If any texture artists could weigh in- still looking for the best way to edit a bump map that is like at half-opacity. Wanting to change the material of the stock to match the handguard so I have to get rid of the detailing that helps sell it as wood but as far as texture goes I've only ever worked with fully opaque normal maps before so I've kinda hit a wall.

[naive snow]

What do you mean half opacity? Do you simply mean that you don't know how to unpack a bump map?

[thorny steeple]

That might be the case? I apologize if I explain this poorly. Model and textures are from FWP. Found the bump texture I'm wanting to edit but when I pull it into paint.net or gimp it's transparent- like I can see the checkerboard grid behind it. Since it's transparant I can't edit it manually in photoshop like I could with an opaque image.

Er, well, I guess I can but it'd take me awhile to figure out a good workflow for it and I assume there has to be a better way

[naive snow]

It's just the alpha channel getting combined, you can extract it, like in photoshop. You can make a layer mask and get your alpha out of there to recombine a normal map if that's what you want to use and specular map.

[thorny steeple]

Wait, so the bump also controls the spec? This is my first time editing textures for a game/engine this old. I'm so used to Bethesda's spec/gloss from Skyrim/Fallout 4 and working with diffuse, normals, and spec as different maps altogether

[naive snow]

The bump map is composed of the normal map + the specular map, the channel are just switched. The bump# is a corretive map and contains the height map

It's just combined to save a texture sample and be more optimized

[somber vale]

Hey guys if i wanba modify something about yadulin where is the .ltx in the addons or main game files

Idk where else to ask

[thorny steeple]

Interesting! Do you think I could bother you to show me how to seperate or combine them, or if you know of a good guide for it? If I can get one walkthrough I'll remember it from that point on. I did check the pins just in case but I didn't see anything pertaining to textures specifically.

[naive snow]

LUN4TIC's video explains a bit. But it really depends on what texturing software you're using, I'm most familiar with photoshop. You can also find plenty of information with the search bar in this channel

The gist of it is bump.dds

R = specular
G = normal Z
B = normal Y
A = normal X

[thorny steeple]

I'm using a combination of stuff, but primarily Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint and using GIMP to translate from DDS to PNG and back. This alone helps a lot and I might be able to reverse engineer from there- will check the search as well, though. Thanks again, Burn, you've been awesome

I need to get my hands on Substance Painter again... I forgot how much of a PITA manually editing a flat texture map alone is.

[naive snow]

Why are you even using multiple softwares when photoshop can open and edit dds?

[thorny steeple]

I can't remember exactly but I think I had trouble finding a .dds plugin that worked with my version of Photoshop and I'm too lazy to install multiple versions. Unless it's finally updated and handles .dds natively

[naive snow]

The nvidia dds plugins works all the way down to 2013

You can just grab that and dump it in your photoshop plugin folder

[thorny steeple]

I will check that out. It might also have been because Photoshop runs like ass on my pc for some reason so I like to use clip studio for most things. I'll open Photoshop when I'm doing serious artwork but I use clip studio for doodling and random edits.

I'll fire it up and see if I can get the .dds plugin working. It's the most modern version since I finally have access to a paid copy for the first time in my entire artistic career.

[naive snow]

You'll find the base section of the item in the Unpacked files of base Anomaly, in the items_drugs.ltx

Any idea how I would apply a bump map in blender 😅 every tutorial I'm finding is about creating one from scratch but I'm wanting to apply the one I already have to a model I already have loaded. I was able to apply the color map easily enough but I can't find a similar entry to plug the bump into.

Ah I'll have to figure out nodes. Saw one guy talking about the same thing but I can't seem to find the same pin he mentioned.

[summer stream]

fun fact

you just don't

if you want to make it COMPATIBLE

the most simple node you can do is this

the thing that invert color does is :

for X : turns specular into roughness
for Z : turns into proper OpenGL map since stalker uses DirectX

ill make it more visible

[full vessel]

Does anyone know what / if there is syntax to return player/NPC reputation, similar to how you can get "npc:character_rank()" ?

[dreamy heath]

A question for DLTX experts that roam the discord : do we have a way to rename a section without breaking everything ? Let's say I would like to rename wpn_ak74u_m1_isg to wpn_ak74u_isg_draco, is that possible ?

By reading the documentation, I guess that I have to create a new section with inheritance, this way :

@[wpn_ak74u_isg_draco]:wpn_ak74u_m1_isg

But that would just make a 'shallow copy', which mean :
A) I have a duplicate
B) I cannot safely use !![wpn_ak74u_m1_isg] without breaking stuff

[thorny steeple]

Was not aware at all I'd need to invert anything. I had it KINDA set up but definitely not like this. About to try it out

[summer stream]

looks pretty good

[thorny steeple]

Hm. I think somethings getting flipped or inverted that shouldn't be

Whoops, didn't plug the alpha in properly

That's looking much better. Thanks for the insight, Makiya!

[summer stream]

no prob man!

[fathom bronze]

Where can I find the script that determines the ammo disassembly item returns, a lot of bullets disassembly returns dont match their crafting recipes so I want to fix that

[hot salmon]

should be somewhere in the configs, like this

[misty mulch]

this is on purpose so that you can't perfectly swap bullets from one caliber to the other. the files you are interested in are in the GAMMA Arti Recipes Overhaul mod, from memory somewhere in gamedata/configs/items/ammo

gamma uses arti's Ammo Maker system so this is not going to be governed by either parts.ltx or mod_parts.ltx

[fathom bronze]

fair but some of the recipes are straight up broken

like having a positive net return when crafted and dissassembled so you can use the recipe to make infinite casings

[misty mulch]

oh right I also have a crafting example zip. look in the ammo folder and read the comments https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UTViiNg656Ey_0p7tL3DkJam9oe86RAL/view?usp=drive_link

[dreamy heath]

@edgy trout Ahoy mate (sry for the ping). I've tried to use the DLTX section creation with @ escape sign to "copy" a weapon and then change some values inside the "copy" but I can't make it work. The documentation (written by you, if I understand well), state this alone does nothing, and needs to be used in combination with other things but without much precision. Searching inside the xray.log doesn't give any clue nor error.

[misty mulch]

it would help if you uploaded your DLTX file

so we can see what you're doing

[dreamy heath]

![wpn_ak74u]
>scopes                         = tac

@[wpn_ak74u_isg_draco]
price = 0

![wpn_ak74u_isg_draco]:wpn_ak74u_m1_isg

![wpn_ak74u_isg_draco]
inv_name                     = st_wpn_ak104_alfakit
inv_name_short               = st_wpn_ak104_alfakit

The file is named mod_system_ak74u_tackit.ltx, placed in configs folder and I know that at least a part of it is readed, because the tac scope is added correctly and appear in the AKS-74U details screen.

[fair canopy]

if the section doesnt exist, then ! wont do anything

you need to initialize a new section

[dreamy heath]

That's not the role of @ ?

[fair canopy]

yes but it honestly doesnt work well for that application. its better for simple section overrides like sound profiles

if youre making a completely new section just do it as a normal section, no dltx syntax

this should be your new section without the ! and you can change your variables under it that should be different from the inheritor gun

[dreamy heath]

Ok, fair. So I create an "empty weapon" inside a new .ltxwith inheritance then tweak stuff with a DLTX file

[fair canopy]

`[wpn_ak74u_isg_draco]:wpn_ak74u_m1_isg

price = 0

inv_name = st_wpn_ak104_alfakit
inv_name_short = st_wpn_ak104_alfakit`

you can still do it as a mod system depending on what youre trrying to do

[dreamy heath]

Will this weapon will take scopes the same way than wpn_ak74u_m1_isg or do I have to make a copy for each scope profile by following the weaponname_scopename syntax ?

[fair canopy]

no, you need to redirect it to its own hud sections

you can make each hud section copy the corresponding weapon section for each scope the same way you do the base hud

[dreamy heath]

Understood. Thanks for the help.

[edgy trout]

Still need help?

[dreamy heath]

Nop, it's ok. Sorry for the bother.

[nova zodiac]

Sup, I need to make it so that I hold the "my loved one" photo for as long as I want, until I move/open inv/take out my weapon

Would really appreciate it.

[naive snow]

Make a looping animation to create an ''idle'' to play when the photo is pulled out, probably modify the existing animation to split into a pull out and store animation that you can trigger when another animation needs to play.
You could also modify a script to ''hold'' the animation until you trigger whatever needs to store it. Probably a bunch of timers that need to fire off when you first pull it out

[nova zodiac]

what app would I need to modify the anm file?
I tried to do it with notepad++ and I believe I am now cursed by the gods to be honest

[naive snow]

Blender to modify the item_ea_picture_woman, which is called with [picture_woma], in ea_addon_photo.ltx

You can look at the backpack scripts for inspiration of how to "hold" an animation until X

[nova zodiac]

alright, many thanks, wish you unlimited money.

[scarlet granite]

I thought about this and I think I created a second "silent alarm" that sends a message to the PDA. So I think the "Crappier" one will set enemy stalkers into alert mode and the silent one will not be noticed by NPC. Still not sure about the alarm not detecting friendly NPC hahaha

I love these kinds of mods. More A-Life, more dialog, more interactions. Makes the Zone feel alive.

[dreamy heath]

My mod projects bucket list :

• Learning how dialog system work and give the player a radio for completing quest at "distance"
• Learning how quest system work and add "Zona Poshta" NPC in settlements for delivering/picking-up items at "distance"

With the idea of :

1. You talk to an NPC in Rostock, he ask you 10 Snork Hands
2. You butcher that tenth hand in Yantar
3. You give hands to the ZP npc in exchange of a small fee
4. Once the NPC got his hands from a ZP courrier, he call you on the radio and wire you the reward and/or sending you a package with a reward

[tawny prawn]

Ok so i came across this new mod which is very cool and autistic i love it https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/the-need-for-cutlery

.. I came up with an idea for a mod for a new item, a can opener which would be required to even open canned food so you would right click > open > then you can eat the canned food

if anybody has any clue on how i would even make this or is it even possible, lmk, cheers!

Just wondering Can i ask a mod related question here? I need a hand figuring out where to put something code related, but am too stupid to understand instructions

[mortal lichen]

Hi, I have a mod Barter NPC, which allows you to exchange items for items. I got it from the Anthology Anomaly. Could someone help me modify it so that the NPC's item prices and mine are 1:1? I currently need to trade a lot of items that would be worth the NPC's item.

[dreamy heath]

With MO2, you can right-clik on the mod in the list and select "Open in Explorer" to open the folder where the mod is. Then you'll have to search inside files to see how the mod handle "object value" (or smth like that).

[scarlet granite]

Does the mod check for the value when selling? It seems reallistic that a trader would still try to make a profit from a trade.

[scarlet granite]

Could you specify your question?

[toxic anvil]

I'm trying to get [DLTX] All weapons in all slots (Sidearm Slot) (v5) to work without stopping me from putting my knife in my binoculars slot, but i cant figure out this code stuff, I attempted to search for the UI_inventory file and got multiple in mutliple folders, I am stuck.

[mortal lichen]

I've already done this and uploaded the script to ChatGPT, but any edits to it don't lead to anything, the prices for all my items still remain lower, for example, instead of 4500, mine cost 450, instead of 980, mine cost 98, etc.

[dreamy heath]

You have to check which mod override ui_inventory the last. On the right of the MO2 screen, you can see a "representation" of what your files would look like when you launch the game (make sure the "Data" tab is selected). Then with the search bar search ui_inventory and it will tell you which mod have the priority on this file.

[toxic anvil]

Would it be the lowest one? Sorry I mean would it be the .script or the .xml*

[somber vale]

hey im using pathfinder kvma mod suit and hands and body textures dont match do u guys know hat file loads hand teures so i can change em

i assume should be as easy as changing it for the name that loads 1 of these right

[scarlet granite]

You need to find the code listed in the Knife and Pistol in Binoculars slot mod (open in explorer) and paste it into the files in the Knife and Pistol in Binoculars slot - UI Rework patch

[dreamy heath]

Don't use ChatGPT for editing scripts. Chat bot have already problems to write stuff with mainstream language like C# or Rust. Do not have any hope with obscur stuff like Stalker scripts.

[dreamy heath]

Judging by the screenshot that explain the patch, it would be the .xml one

[toxic anvil]

So I'd have to get the UI rework mod in the first place? SOrry I'm so unsure on the details of what to do, I think I may just leave it and cope with not having weapons in my binocular slot

[scarlet granite]

Paste this into the mod folder

Unpack first

If it's asking you if it should replace to files, confirm it and then it should work

[toxic anvil]

Oh, I did it, I'll boot up and check now, I honestly cant figure out how you understand that, Thank you

[dreamy heath]

Also, take a look at DXML, so you can patch the xml without overriding widely

[scarlet granite]

I let chat gpt do my vector math because I will never understand it and it's not getting easier by Xray flipping the axis from Blender around

[toxic anvil]

Dang, It didn't like the patch, Perhaps i do need to download that ui rework mod?

[dreamy heath]

Again, I strongly advise to not do it, for any stuff at all. The more you use AI to do stuff, the less you learn, the less you're able to do stuff by yourself.

Trials and errors boys, asking questions, live and learn. This is the way.

[scarlet granite]

Oh, I though you already have that UI Rework patch. Yes, you absolutly need it because we are modyfying it

If you install the Rework patch you need to redo the pasting tho

Otherwise please DM me so I can help you better

Also, for vector (I assume that your talking 3d axis, not physics math), did anyone ever teach you the three fingers tip ?

[toxic anvil]

Okay, Pasted the patch again here goes nothing

[scarlet granite]

I was a CAD designer and I am a PLM System solution architect but not a programmer 😄

[scarlet granite]

If something goes wrong please write me directly so we can figure out your load order is correct and stuff.

[swift gull]

How hard would it be for me to make a script that made it so that the revolvers I have added via weapon packs won't make casing ejection sounds when firing?. Is this something that is both possible, and or even plausible for someone like myself to do who has no experience with this stuff?.

[dreamy heath]

So you must have been taught this fingers trick to visualize what rotation and translation you need

[dreamy heath]

Old memory stuff, but casing ejection sound are triggered by animations

[swift gull]

Thanks!, I'm using the search function and I guess someone else had a run at this some time ago

[dreamy heath]

[somber vale]

Please guys is anyone able to help me with tweaking kvma mod

[mellow furnace]

Is there any way to change the color of the flashlight? This rusty orange color is already hurting my eyes.

[lilac ibex]

nope. sorry

[somber vale]

with what app do i open ogf files

[scarlet granite]

Blender with Xray addon

[steep ember]

Ayo, I remember somebody was trying to fuck around making a combat dodge mod? Any progress or a thread to be linked?

[hoary cipher]

I use chat gpt to help me write scripts it works ok can take a bit but you need to make sure you give it proper context and you also understand what the scripts are saying

It can't really write complete scripts but it can write edits decently well

It's a much better tool for showing you how scripting works tho

[misty mulch]

the other issue is that scripting for GAMMA specifically is a pretty unique environment due to its nature as a modpack with many, MANY custom interactions between different scripts that are completely undocumented. Needless to say, ChatGPT (and any other LLM tool) will have had none of this in their training sets, therefore they are quite literally incapable of factoring in that difference into whatever code they extrude out for you. And certainly not capable of pointing them out or explaining them, since they are, ultimately, probabilistic models that are giving you the "most likely sequence of words, given this prompt" as defined by their training sets and any subsequent weighting.

it's one of those things where, if you are already adept with Lua (or at minimum another coding language) you could probably use an LLM assistant to help fast-track you into learning how to make script mods for Anomaly/GAMMA to an extent. The issue is that the far, far, FAR more likely case, which keeps happening in here, is that someone with 0 coding knowledge comes in with grand ideas to make ChatGPT write the mod for them

And then comes in here expecting us to be able to correct the bot's output for them, despite not being able to read Lua in the first place

So none of the advice we give is even comprehensible to them, and we can't ask clarifying questions like "why did you choose to write the function like this/implement a feature like that" because they didn't make any choices, and can't even really understand the question or advice.

[dreamy heath]

Amen, brother

[scarlet granite]

Will the bone_transform method from the Lua help move the child bones and mesh defined in the Vertrex Group?

I just started this and I'm not sure if I will go animation route or move the bones via script

[astral stratus]

Is there a simple way to add stat-cap-extension to pelts or remove stat-caps altogether? I really don't like artefacts, except for the perk artefacts and prefer hunting over tedious artefact-farming.

[fossil ledge]

quick question how can I add PDA notifications? Is there a mod that I can take sample from

[scarlet granite]

https://github.com/Decane/SRP/blob/master/gamedata/scripts/news_manager.script

[sudden inlet]

Just to clarify, Gamma is based on Anomaly gamedata that is "hosted" here https://github.com/Tosox/STALKER-Anomaly-gamedata/blob/v1.5.2/gamedata/scripts/news_manager.script
It looks somewhat more up-to-date

[hoary cipher]

Is there any scripts that allow the animation played to change depending on item uses left?

[tired drift]

Story DLC introduction to stalker anomaly gamma

[sudden inlet]

Please, ping me if you would find one, sounds interesting

Overall it looks quite possible to do if you use FDDA Redone

[misty mulch]

i suggest you look at the scripts for GAMMA Artefacts Overhaul or whatever the mod that governs artis in GAMMA is called (don't have the modpack atm), and look at its scripts. Additionally, check the script(s) from Grok's Actor Damage Balancer, since that's the mod that controls incoming dmg and should tell you how the various res cap config parameters are actually used by the incoming damage scripts. Copying those aspects for the pelt items should get you started (I suggest you make your own mod and put your changes in there so you can at least toggle them on/off in MO2 for testing)

[split igloo]

bounty hunting coming along. currently working on the npc acceptance formula

[vital halo]

Hi, I wanted to ask if there's a program for quickly adjusting item (artifact) stats? I searched for it myself, but found nothing, and I can't figure out how these numbers are calculated. I apologize if my question is not related to this thread.

[toxic anvil]

Hey ya'll can anyone assist with making https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/dltx-all-weapons-in-all-slots-sidearm-slot compatible with "113- Knife Pistol in Binocular Slot - RavenAscendant"?

Oh hey @scarlet granite I'm back trying to fix it again!

[scarlet granite]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKvXNtDr9nA

While working on my alarm system I had the idea to set up an automatic gun turret. Got the model done and implemented the tracking. I now have to work on valid target aquasition, firing the gun and adding ammo to it. The Yaw is done via different idle positions and the pitch is done by changing visibility of bones. If any of you can help me using actual animation poses for the pitch I would appreciate it. I did not find any information on this as most animation reference is based on Guns.. 😄

[toxic anvil]

Kind of scary it wont stop tracking you specifically

[scarlet granite]

yeah right now it will only track the player. I need to implement the tracking to look for valid targets (mutants, stalkers etc)

[toxic anvil]

Will it have health? or small ammo supply? will it be 100% acurate with a small magazine or will it be less with a larger ammo supply?

[scarlet granite]

Maybe I will have to add a drum mag to the Makarov 😂

[dreamy heath]

And more important : will it make Portal turret sounds ?

[scarlet granite]

Yes but due to copyright reasons I will activate my gentle side and do the voice lines.

[toxic anvil]

Nahhhh its transformative i'm sure

but if it does make turret voice lines, its 100% going to sit in my base as a companion

anyone aware of why this is happening to UI_inventory.xml?

[scarlet granite]

check dm

[dreamy heath]

You must have enable a mod that override ui_inventory.xml

[toxic anvil]

You'd think that, but im using the filter on the right of mo2 and supposedly that should be the final overwrite

And that one comes from the "gamma ui"

[dreamy heath]

Let me check on my unmodded backup

Ok, same here

And what's the problem exactly ?

[toxic anvil]

Im trying to make that mod i posted previously cooperate with gun and knife in binoculars slot, but so far no matter what ive tried i cannot, I just want to have a knife in my vision slot or a pistol obviously

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message this one

[dreamy heath]

Did you tried with DXML as I suggest it ?

[toxic anvil]

No sir, ive had just enough time to get on this morning and forgot about it entierly.

Ill look into it, do i need to have modding and coding experience to do that?

[dreamy heath]

Ok, my bad I must have confuse you with someone else who asked the same question some days ago

[toxic anvil]

It was me, you said it to me no confusion, I just haven't had time to look at that solution and I did forget it

[dreamy heath]

DXML is pretty straightforward to learn and use. In short, you write a small script that will push xml change AFTER mod deploy but BEFORE the engine load said xml

[toxic anvil]

Does the d stand for Dynamic?

[dreamy heath]

Yup

Meaning, that if your DXML script is pretty down in your mod list, your changes will be applied even if you enable a mod that will override GAMMA UI

[toxic anvil]

Okay, i can try, but i doubt ill have the brain capacity to learn that, i get about 2 hours a day on my pc rn 🙃

[dreamy heath]

I can send you a working DXML script that I wrote yesterday if you want to look at something simple

[toxic anvil]

Sure, if you dm me ill pick it up when I get back to my pc

[dreamy heath]

And if I understand your problematic well, it may be quite similar to what you're trying to achieve, aka. edit a number inside a node element

[toxic anvil]

As far as I can tell, I just need the merge section to actually take effect but it doesn't like it at all

[toxic anvil]

This, but if I put it in ui_inventory16.xml it doesn't take effect and ui_inventory.xml just refers to 16

When filtering to the end of overwrites it still doesn't work

[dreamy heath]

Ok, got it. Will try to write it on my end and when you'll be back behind keyboard, I will show and explain

[toxic anvil]

Okay, it may be tonight like 1am Gmt depends on family and work 😂.

But thank you, hopefully I can learn

[split igloo]

Does it have some sort of sway? so its not a laser 😄

You could do some prepper quest where you have to traverse a huge house in pripyat thats boobytrapped and has turrets or sth haha. then in the end you meet the guy (or whatever other thing the author comes up with).

@scarlet granite is it possible to make this destructible? could be cool for some quest designs 😄

[scarlet granite]

Its has a turn speed so you can outrun it. I could see creating a different instance of it that can be used an an "enemy". I will add hit detection of course. 🙂 Its very basic atm hahaha

[somber vale]

Hey is the logic for adding supressors the same
Is there a gide for that bc im not finding one

[teal compass]

pretty much

[somber vale]

Aight ty

[fossil ledge]

Can I ask if pulse anomaly is managed by DAO / Arrival or is there another mod?

[rough lion]

Vanilla anomaly

[frigid kite]

Hello! Sorry for the super necro ping jumpscare but I just had this idea also lol

Engine-wise, I found a lead on how this would be done

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message

The mod would interface with a file which a separate client program would simultaneously read from. I should be able to follow the example of the buttplug mod LMAO

I also have some preliminary design ideas. At minimum, I feel, completing missions should be locations, and the actual mission rewards (including stash locations) should be items, along with the option of adding some actual gear to the item pool for fun/to progress more quickly

Alternately, you could make the stashes themselves into locations...

[dire rain]

Receive the location of a stash
The stash itself:

[frigid kite]

Is that

The entire Zone

In STALKER 2

[dreamy heath]

Na, far from it

Despite all things I may have against S2, the Zone rendition in S2 is pixel-perfect

[dire rain]

is Valley of Rustles, technically "SAD"

[wanton tusk]

Hey y'all sorry if this is the wrong channel or if this is an FAQ but how would one go about adding a song into the radio playlist at the mercenary base?

[full vessel]

It's a little confusing but different radios use different logic, but if I recall correctly, mercs base shares the same playlist file as the sidorovich radio, and that radio's scripts can be edited easily in a text editor. im not at my pc rn so I can't grab a filepath, but you should be able to find it easily in the extended radio's mod files (assuming that's what you're modifying)

[wanton tusk]

Okay thank you! I’ll try starting there

[unkempt sapphire]

After editing an ltx file, do i have to put the edited file somewhere? Or do the changes take effect without any other steps? I made changes but they didn't do anything

[quartz hill]

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

is probably being overwritten by another dltx somewhere

[unkempt sapphire]

Alright, but simply put, do I need to move this file somewhere? Or will any changes take effect in the unpacked location

[quartz hill]

unpacked location is not actually read by the game

[unkempt sapphire]

Okay, so i have to put it somewhere

[quartz hill]

you need to put it in gamedata folder

[unkempt sapphire]

Got it

[quartz hill]

or better yet make empty mod

and put it in there

[unkempt sapphire]

Thats what you sent me? How to make an empty mod?

[unkempt sapphire]

Ah

[quartz hill]

in the mod folder there needs to be a 'gamedata' folder, then you can place your edited ltx in the correct path in there

[unkempt sapphire]

Empty mod > Gamedata > Make a file path that's the same as the unpacked file, containing the edited ltx?

[quartz hill]

ye

[unkempt sapphire]

Id only have to copy the file path leading to the ltx's location as it appears in the "unpacked" folder, right? Not copy the whole file tree

[quartz hill]

yeah, you can treat the '_unpacked' folder as 'gamedata'

[unkempt sapphire]

Wdym

Btw I appreciate all the help

[quartz hill]

like _unpacked/configs/items = gamedata/configs/items

[unkempt sapphire]

I see, copy it, and just change the _unpacked to gamedata

[quartz hill]

if it doesn't work there's a good chance whatever you're modifying is being overwritten by a dltx

[unkempt sapphire]

Would that mean I'm SOL?

Or just more wok

Work*

[quartz hill]

nah you make a dltx of your own and have it come alphabetically after the one that was overwriting

that's what the link i sent was for

[unkempt sapphire]

I thought so

I'll get back to you then, I'll see if I can get it working on my own

[unkempt sapphire]

Oh BTW, is there a line in the LTX that can change an armor's associated faction? Or is that better left untouched?

[quartz hill]

there should be a 'community' field

[unkempt sapphire]

Will it mess with loot spawns

[quartz hill]

don't think so

[unkempt sapphire]

Word

[unkempt sapphire]

Whats "killer"?

[quartz hill]

mercenary

[unkempt sapphire]

Weird but alright

Couldn't they have just done "merc"

[quartz hill]

idk man

[unkempt sapphire]

Okay lmao

[wanton tusk]

hey so it seems that the freedom and merc music are in a different file path than the rest in the radio addon, in a section called mlr. so what script would be edited if you know? (filepath: C:\Gamma\mods\5- Anomaly Radio Extended - DesmanMetzger\gamedata\sounds\mlr\mercs

[full vessel]

yeah so that's the confusing thing

"MLR" is a separate radio system, which the freedom base radio uses

The merc base would use it, but it uses sidorovich radio for some reason so everything in that playlist is irrelevant.

Im at my pc so i can check file paths

[wanton tusk]

okay bet, I didn't know about the different radio systems

[full vessel]

Ok, the one you wanna edit is GAMMA\mods\5- Anomaly Radio Extended - DesmanMetzger\gamedata\configs\plugins\xr_sound.ltx

anomaly_radio_addon\sidorovich_radio\Sidor_radio_1

anomaly_radio_addon\sidorovich_radio\Sidor_radio_32
anomaly_radio_addon\sidorovich_radio\Sidor_radio_33```

should be that one. while you're at it, you can add the merc's radio to sidorovich's radio if you want, since all those songs are basically unused

[wanton tusk]

so just to make sure i get this correct, I add the song I want to the sid folder, then also add name the song in the plugin folder?

[full vessel]

you add the song's filepath to the [sidor_radio] table

the song itself goes in sound

[dire rain]

MLR mentioned

[full vessel]

gamedata\sounds\anomaly_radio_addon\sidorovich_radio

[full vessel]

do you know what it actually is?

what does mlr even stand for

[wanton tusk]

so I would name it "anomaly_radio_addon\sidorovich_radio\Sidor_radio_34"

[full vessel]

yea. make sure your song is in .ogg and all that stuff

well

yeah you "name" it that in the table, but the song file itself would be Sidor_radio_34.ogg in this case

[dire rain]

My Little Respawn is one of the first total conversions of Call of Chernobyl, focused to add quests and modify maps, is from this mod from where are:
Butcher, hip and Meadow

[full vessel]

and it'd be in the sidorovich_radio folder

[wanton tusk]

gotcha i'm following

[full vessel]

Ohhhh. That's interesting. So MLR added these radios and they just kinda stuck huh?

at least for freedom and mercs

[dire rain]

idk, Anomaly vanilla uses one of the early versions of MLR, MLR 6, the first version that included Meadow

[full vessel]

I wonder, if it was anomaly who messed up the merc radio station, or if it's just extended radio's all.spawn is setup wrong or something

cause it just uses sidorovich's radio station. at least extended radios does. vanilla anomaly might use the correct merc station but I don't remember

(if such a station even exists in vanilla anomaly)

[trim oak]

If I wanted to add songs to the player's PDA radio or existing radio stations do I just drop in new files in Anomaly Radio Extended ?

[full vessel]

for extended radios, the only one that will work is freedom's radio becuase it uses MLR radio system which dynamically adjusts to the number of audio files in the freedom radio folder, the other radios use manually edited script tables

PDA radios is similar. I think you can just throw .ogg files in there and it just works

for each _playlist folder

[trim oak]

Fantastic thank you!

[wanton tusk]

If i was to do that would I copy the songs from the merc radio and place that in sids song folder and then also take the script names from mlr and place that in sids section? or would I need to rename all of them?

[full vessel]

you don't have to rename them

just put 'em in the table

im pretty sure anyway.

worst case, you might have to end up renaming them. but i don't think it's necessary if my memory serves me right

[wanton tusk]

real, I may try it soon, first I just wanna check to see if I broke the first time lol

I think i got it right, even took the time to make it sound radioey ish like how breath by breaking benjamin does when it plays on the freedom radio

[full vessel]

as any proper radio mod should

[wanton tusk]

Fr fr

[full vessel]

oh also, make sure your audio file is mono channel

stereo plays globally because slav jank

[wanton tusk]

ope

I def didn’t set that correctly in audacity lmao

[full vessel]

its aight slav jank makes no sense anyway

[wanton tusk]

Agreed

Set to mono, now just gotta wait around until it either plays or crashes the game

Thanks for the help man

[unkempt sapphire]

I'm editing an ltx, what are the differences between these?

[quartz hill]

i'm ngl i have no idea 😭
i believe the one you want to edit are the protections

[unkempt sapphire]

Alright lmao, thanks

[unkempt sapphire]

I changed the faction successfully, but no change applied to its resistances, also noticed the decimals didnt line up with the in game values, is something overwriting the resistances specifically?

[quartz hill]

probably another dltx is overwriting them, as for the values i think you can find out how they are converted to the display values in actor damage balancer script

[unkempt sapphire]

what's that if you dont mind explaining

[quartz hill]

actor damage balancer?

[unkempt sapphire]

yeah

[quartz hill]

it's the mod that controls incoming damage to the player

[unkempt sapphire]

I copied a different armor's protection values, and nothing changed at all tho

not even by 1%

[quartz hill]

they're probably being overwritten by a dltx

[unkempt sapphire]

damn

[toxic anvil]

How would you find the DLTX thats overwriting?

[unkempt sapphire]

What they said

[quartz hill]

you can do a find-in-files search with something like notepad++ for the section name, or you can do it via script with the ini_file dltx stuff

should be this one though

[toxic anvil]

I may have made a mistake, I searched Binocular find in file on the entire mods folder

I'm just trying to find anything overwriting UI_inventory 😢

[quartz hill]

if you launch your program through mo2 you can just do it on the anomaly gamedata folder

[quartz hill]

the script?

[toxic anvil]

nah the ui_inventory.xml

i'm trying to figure out why two mods won't cooperate even when patched with a merge code

[quartz hill]

you don't edit those with dltx, there's dxml for it

[toxic anvil]

ah, I have misread what was said earlier..

I have read dltx as dxml

[quartz hill]

is either that or maybe something is monkeypatching ui_inventory script ig

[toxic anvil]

either way I've been trying to fix it for 3 days now

[unkempt sapphire]

So can i just edit one of these?

[quartz hill]

uhh i guess so, or make your own dltx

[toxic anvil]

but i'm not a modder, so i'm going through it in a very rudimentary way

[quartz hill]

well it's fine if you're not gonna distribute it

[toxic anvil]

yup, I literally just want it for personal use, and apparently gamma doesn't like it

[unkempt sapphire]

Im just looking to use it for personal use, would editing it be fastest?

[quartz hill]

probably lol

[unkempt sapphire]

word

[quartz hill]

pretty sure it'll get replaced if you update with launcher though

[unkempt sapphire]

Ltx or txt?

[quartz hill]

ltx

[toxic anvil]

What slot is the binoculars? 5 right?

[quartz hill]

think so

[toxic anvil]

if i wanted to allow these into multiple slots, would i edit it from
"![wpn_knife]
slot = 1"
to
"![wpn_knife]
slot = 1,5"

or would it be a seperate line?

so confused rn, may just have to tial and error

[quartz hill]

there's a binoc_pistol_knife.script in gamma weapon pack mod, you can edit it to allow binoc into other slots

[thorny steeple]

BS won't mean anything if you come equipped with binocs in the armor slot

[toxic anvil]

its the opposite, i need my other weapons specifcally the knife to go back into the binoc slot after installing another mod that seems to just stop it working

[quartz hill]

oh wait yeah i was thinking binocular lol

[toxic anvil]

the author added some instructions but they just dont work at all in gamma, I've tried everything I can think of

[quartz hill]

what mod?

[toxic anvil]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/dltx-all-weapons-in-all-slots-sidearm-slot/#9145609

[quartz hill]

oh it changed slot field for all weapons and knives to 1

should be 0

for knives i mean

[toxic anvil]

it allows me to carry something like a fraiser in my melee slot, but now i need my knife in my binoc slot

found this anyway

tried to add a 5 to it in different variations while keeping the 1, no impact

[quartz hill]

delete the lines for the knives and try with a freshly spawned knife

[toxic anvil]

loading up will report back

nope, still the same

I honestly feel like this mod is somehow overwriting the ui_inventory.xml + ui_inventory16.xml

the mod author having that section about merging the 2 mods wwould possibly indicate it right?

[quartz hill]

it doesn't look like it

[toxic anvil]

wait, im stupid

[quartz hill]

even the 'patch' is just instructions telling you how to edit the ui_inventory xml to make it compatible

[toxic anvil]

I made a backup and then accidentally edited the knives out of the backup

I am the silliest of geese

same result

[quartz hill]

you spawned a new one yeah?

[toxic anvil]

yep, every variant up to the best one

[quartz hill]

i'm ngl i've got no idea 😭

[toxic anvil]

this is how me and JoniKanoni have felt for like 2 days trying to fix it

Joni actually is a modder, you are, and im a person who wanders around aimlessly, we should be unstopable!

[quartz hill]

i'm only a little bit of a modder

[toxic anvil]

you're Infinitely more than me, that counts

[lilac ibex]

kaboom, kablow

[quartz hill]

indeed

[toxic anvil]

now i'm going to attempt to figure out dxml, in the hopes it will solve all of my problems

[quartz hill]

your binoc_pistol_knife.script is coming from gamma weapon pack right?

[toxic anvil]

I'll check

[toxic anvil]

Yes

[quartz hill]

[toxic anvil]

WAI1T

[quartz hill]

wait did you install all of the patches

[toxic anvil]

I may have the answer

no wait..

I was thinking if this other mod is loaded after the gamma weapon script, would it overwrite it and set EVERYTHING to 1?

[quartz hill]

no?

[toxic anvil]

maybe if i change the knife stuff to this
ui_inventory.GUI.slot_cell = { -- base slot = {UI slots to fit in}
[1] = {1,5}, -- Knife - add binoc slot as valid destination
[2] = {2,1,3}, -- Pistol - add binoc slot as valid destination
[3] = {3,2}, -- Rifle
[4] = {4}, -- Grenade
[5] = {5}, -- Binoculars - add knife slot as valid destination

but yeah, this is why i'm not a modder or coder

[quartz hill]

nah but it seems the knives are dltxed more than once in that mod

in the vanilla as well as bas patch

idk about the others

[toxic anvil]

delete all of the knife references in all of the ltx files!

try this?

me i mean

[quartz hill]

ig so

[undone spruce]

tryna go back to this, i oughta update anomaly first tho

[toxic anvil]

looks like a grease gun but futuristic, seems cool

[undone spruce]

its a madsen

[toxic anvil]

so... that worked...

crazy

wonder, if i delete all the pistols from those xml will they revert to the ability to go in the binoc slot...

[quartz hill]

maybe a better way of allowing all weapons in pistol slot is going into that script and adding 3 and 2 here

instead of that mod i mean

[toxic anvil]

which script?

[quartz hill]

the binoc_pistol_knife one

[toxic anvil]

so I just add 2 and 3 with a , to seperate?

[quartz hill]

ye

[toxic anvil]

rifle already has a {3,2}

wait, 1 and 5 i think are binocs

binoc and sidearm slot

[quartz hill]

1 on the left is melee slot

5 is binoc slot

[toxic anvil]

here goes to see if my game crashes

[quartz hill]

[toxic anvil]

it worked, but for some reason one of my guns transformed into a KAR98

[quartz hill]

what 😭

[toxic anvil]

the friaser that was in the above screen shot vanished

no way... its still there

but it had a gun on top of it

Hey im put a supressor on weapon in blender but it also shows in game even if i dont have supressor on
How to fix it

Is it bc i have it wpn_body on vertex group instead of wpn_silencer

[summer stream]

yes

[sweet sentinel]

hey guys, i have found this script on anomaly addons: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/autowalk-for-anomaly-151

and the content is like this:

local auto_move = false

function on_key_press(dik)

    if (dik == DIK_keys.DIK_F12) then
        if not (auto_move) then
            auto_move = true
        else
            auto_move = false
        end
    end

    if (dik == DIK_keys.DIK_S) then
        if (auto_move) then
            auto_move = false
        end
    end

    if (dik == DIK_keys.DIK_W) then
        if (auto_move) then
            auto_move = false
        end
    end

end

function actor_on_update()
    if auto_move then
        level.hold_action(bind_to_dik(key_bindings.kFWD))
    end
end

function on_game_start()
    RegisterScriptCallback("on_key_press",on_key_press)
    RegisterScriptCallback("actor_on_update",actor_on_update)
end

i don't know much about modding but would you consider this normal practice? or can this be optimized further? is it possible to perhaps not listen to all keys pressed and just put a listener to a specific key so its more optimized? i don't know much really but i'm curious

Yesterday I added ray casting to verify LOS, check for the closest enemy and tried myself on an idle sweep.

Question: Is there a way to identify if the target is downed? Like target:alive()

[hardy turret]

hey does anyone here know where im supposed to go to change the amount of ibuprofen's/yadulin's traders have?

been trying to find this for a while

[random fulcrum]

:wounded()

[scarlet granite]

I just found it in the xrs_kill_wounded script from anomaly and its so obvious

[random fulcrum]

not really if you ask me because there's also :critically_wounded()

which as the name implies is critical, while the other one is just wounded

but critically wounded is for the stagger animations

[scarlet granite]

sounds like it could also be understood directly opposite hahaha

[fluid elm]

This looks cool, I am also relieved to see that it isn't just me for whom Yanov Station runs like shit.

[scarlet granite]

Yanov Station means lag spikes every few seconds hahaha but I also just record with snipping tool and it looks bad ngl

[fluid elm]

I actually thought I broke something after spending time in Yanov. Turrets look cool tho.

[scarlet granite]

Thanks! They still have some jank I need to fix and I want to make the Ammo limited and the player to have to reload it once it's empty. And what will be really difficult is making the NPC's attack it.

And I need to figure out particles. I can spawn them but they are lot alligned to the barrel axis yet

[hallow chasm]

Hi im currently trying to import the model for the Fn Scar H "Expert Operator" into blender with the goal of adding a 3d scope to it (ideally leopold + rmr) but I do not know where the gun model is actually located in the files. Could anyone direct me to it, or where most gun models could be?

I know the model is called wpn_scar_siber_m2

[violet aurora]

Hi guys it is posible to someone edit the maps to be more alive vith props in stalker anomaly images is from shadow of chernobzl update also autor vlad was release a complete levels and textures and etc... he was give everzone a permisions to be used in anz project and engines good is is already have files in pack just is something need to be rewrite to run on levels i dont too much understand of editing thank zou guys im sorry for my english iam from Europe

[lilac ibex]

yes its possible to add dynamic objects and edit map geometry

[dire rain]

yes

[violet aurora]

wow it will be real stalker world since now its graphics changed become out sss23 and roten life with ccon it will be in combination bring a new life in stalker anomaly all its good just this point is really missing but i undersand its taking lot of time but dam its missing its beautifull i cant really imagine on stalker anomaly

[lilac ibex]

what are you smoking

[dire rain]

??????????????????

I guess that some users desire see a couple 4K assets in a underground instead of see map expansions

[lilac ibex]

good props n geometry are always welcome

[dire rain]

"Bring a new life" seems much to me, but just is matter of taste.

[teal compass]

[split igloo]

really there is not much left to do there

apart from adding clutter / decoration and updating all those 3d models to be more than boxes

[dire rain]

Is possible make what u do want but i doubt u could avoid the part of learn to use the level editor from the SDK, except if u avoid the idea itself

[split igloo]

Is there a way to access the reputation and goodwill the player has with the factions? and is it possilble to intercept the "Your Reputation has worsened" / "You killed an ally in cold blood" messages? 😄 For my system I need to be able to have hostile stalkers of my own faction that can be killed "in self defense" so to say, no reputation or goodwill loss.

[ashen hatch]

Which line in gun configs allows freezoom?

[full vessel]

i dont remember how it is for goodwill. but reputation you can get with npc:character_reputation()

it goes by number. 0 is neutral, positive numbers are good rep, negative numbers are bad rep. i think the max either way is 2500

(or -2500)

if you wanna get the player's rep, i think you gotta replace "npc" with "db.actor"

if you want to modify the "killed an ally in cold blood" thing, look for "player loses goodwill for killing allied npcs" mod in the gamma modlist. or search "goodwill" if you can't find it

[split igloo]

thank you. i feared this was not a mod 😄 thats good i can patch that then probably. and thanks for the calls.

[split igloo]

@full vessel still sometimes have some wrong npc aggro but that helped. i guess ill try monkeypatching the gamma mod then.

bounty hunting coming along.

[opaque night]

Sorry for the necro, but I wanted to explain. It was basically done for flexibility - that way I didn't need to cram the warning into the same space as the siren for example. It meant you wouldn't hear obvious looping too.

There should also be a audio track for the lab degredation as well

[stoic pendant]

there is a scientist npc that lags, search the discord for "zhuk"

[ebon pilot]

Is there a way to edit the magazines mods so that the 60, 95 (5.45) and 75 (7.62x39) round mags are exclusive to their LMGs? I don't want to be able to use them on normal rifles

[dawn token]

well why not just choose not to equip them?

[ebon pilot]

Imposing arbitrary rules on myself kind of bothers me
Like there's no reason NOT to use it but I don't, just because? It would be fine if there were drawbacks to equipping them but there's not really
They affect the balancing of the rifles and I want to fix it. I already removed all the drum and casket mags from traders except PPsh, Thompson and RAPTR, but I can still loot RPK mags, though they are somewhat rare

[karmic venture]

Any feedback on my first mod? https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1463892069620646075
did i forget about something?

[misty mulch]

mods/(name of mod that the gun is from)/gamedata/meshes/anomaly_weapons iirc

[misty mulch]

is it dx8/9 compatible

alsoooooo i think i beat you to the punch https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1338543927803908176

[summer girder]

Finally
Svarog as good as in S2

[karmic venture]

no idea tested only on dx 11
tweaks are minor so if it worked before it should work after tweaks

[naive snow]

Depends on how you recompressed the texture, that's why he's mentionning if it works on DX8/9, if you saved it as BC7 it won't

[karmic venture]

oh i have some funky exporter for dds its uncompressed

[naive snow]

Yeah that'll probably fuck it up, uncompressed is for UI elements and since it's an in-game model it requires mipmaps

[karmic venture]

what compression should i use?

[naive snow]

Create a new base class of mags something like [lmg_5.45x39] to be imported in the base_545x39, set it up and then change the magazines ltx of each weapon to change it's ammo_5.45x39_fmj = to your new class

[naive snow]

Does it have transparency?

[karmic venture]

image? yes

[naive snow]

BC3 DXT5

BC1 is for textures without alpha, BC3 is for when there's an alpha

[summer stream]

[ebon pilot]

Cheers, I'll look into this later 👍

[karmic venture]

MIN maps ON?

[naive snow]

It's an in-game model? Then yes

[karmic venture]

and no for ui elements?

[naive snow]

Nah UI is meant to be crispy and 8.8.8.8

[karmic venture]

8.8.8.8?

[naive snow]

Uncompressed

8 bit per channel R G B A

Hence, 8.8.8.8

[karmic venture]

ah I see

[summer stream]

i remember that gamma has some stuff on ui

with mip maps

i think we should have a fix for that

[karmic venture]

For model textures without alpha Compression BCI (DXT1)?

[naive snow]

I don't think the sRGB header is supported, but I haven't messed with it

[naive snow]

Well if the textures are compressed properly, not RGBA8 or 8.8.8.8, you can get away with having mipmaps on UI elements (especially with the 3D PDA), the issue comes when you have uncompressed textures + mipmaps, I don't fancy 88mb textures

[summer stream]

that is true

[summer stream]

kind of supported

found out that via photoshop

and nvidia having problems

BC3 being saved that particular way
didnt work for DX8/DX9 people

so i used paint.net and it all worked

somehow

[naive snow]

I'd be curious to ask someone like Lvtner if the header properly decodes or if the engine already does a gamma correction based on the type of texture

[summer stream]

we did have pbr

but i think that could've been possible

(no one really tried to do it on xray monolith)

[karmic venture]

I guess this display has to have non compressed DDS
BC1 + MinMap :

co compression:

but this texture doesnt even have this green overlay

[naive snow]

It's a simple matter of using uniform metrics for compression (which Krita doesn't exposes). Gimp has the ability to pick Uniform/non-uniform metrics

[naive snow]

Your mips might have been gamma corrected, which is also another option that doesn't seem to be exposed as part of Krita

[karmic venture]

damn i guess time to learn GIMP if i ever want to do textures

[naive snow]

You can just transfer your TGA once you're done or use the nvidia standalone texture exporter to do your dds

[karmic venture]

But yea thanks for help for now it works it took so many hour to just do and test those two textures

[unique crag]

I don't really know blender but I'm trying to fix something and I get this error when I import an omf, anyone know what it means?

its use an older version of blender isnt it

Yup. jfc i hate blender

[grim timber]

Hello fellas, #1 Hip simp here

While I enjoy having her around, I’m getting a tad bit annoyed at her seemingly total and gamebreaking invincibility

Thought I’d ask here whether anybody could point me to the .ltx where her health and armor stats are defined

Thinking of making a little mod that makes her not QUITE invincible, but not made of paper either

[naive snow]

The ID name is Devushka, she's defined in m_stalker.ltx and part of grok_additional_storyline_npc_invincible.script which drastically reduces the damage she receives. You could exclude her from there I guess.

[grim timber]

Thanks a bunch, off I go breaking shit then!

[quaint sand]

hello guys, could someone explain me how to create a defined single set of a start loadout? I always want it to start a specific way, with invictus ON and a set of items selected to quick start my run in case I fail, I couldn't find any tutorial about this neither how to do it? Thank you

[naive snow]

Have a look at Black Road Revisited which changes the start options and randomizes a loadout. Inspire yourself from there or ask in that thread

[indigo pollen]

uh hey how can i edit a ogf file. i want to add a jacket over a armor.

[summer stream]

blender.

[indigo pollen]

fr?

can i just edit it there?

[summer stream]

yes

[scarlet granite]

You need this addon: https://github.com/PavelBlend/blender-xray

It will 100% not be just "adding" the mesh tho. I've only created outfits in Arma 3 tho so can't help there. I would try searching for Tutorials on YouTube.

[feral zodiac]

question. Have any talented modders try revamping the default anomaly animations for npcs? They're kinda the only thing holding back the game from looking modern

[lilac ibex]

yes

xrmpe

[wanton tusk]

I have a question about the radios that are craft-able, do they use the PDA music folders or how are those determined? Also is it possible to make a new folder in the pda radio mod?

[trim jungle]

1. You mean the hideout radios for your first question? I think the mod has its own playlists but can also play Zone.FM.

2. Yes, for which radio mod? Playlists or radio channels?

!radio

[queen pine]

@trim jungle Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[wanton tusk]

1. yes hideout radios
2. pda radio extended

[trim jungle]

Yeah just follow this link to add playlists or songs to playlists

For the hideout radios IIRC you can change its playlist by interacting with it. To add more, you would need to figure out how the mod adds playlists

[wanton tusk]

gotcha, alright thank you

[somber vale]

Hey gys what ltx file contains the helmet stats

[naive snow]

Base helmets are defined in o_helmet.ltx, there might be some DLTX modifying their stats

[scarlet granite]

That looks awesome! Will the stock be animated?

oh nice man thanks

[toxic anvil]

Is there a mod that handles the way NPC's react to you currently?

[sudden inlet]

Elaborate on "react to you", what do you mean exactly?

[toxic anvil]

I walk near them with a rifle or weapon out, they all point theirs at me, even though they know me technically as a legend whos in their faction and I'm 100% on their side..

It frustrates me hearing Put the weapon down every five seconds if i dont put my gun away

[ancient zenith]

do I understand correctly that these lines in the config are responsible for the assortment? I just installed a mod for new artifacts, but the economy is breaking down with it, and for some reason, weapons have appeared in the assortment of merchants, and now I want to fix it manually

[naive snow]

Make sure your new installed mod doesn't win conflicts or override any of Gamma's economy files. You can double click on your mod and see the file tab for what files it's currently winning, right click and hide

[sudden inlet]

Yea, first number is amount of stacks, second is the chance for a single stack to appear in stock

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1407106671637168241 it's the footstep sound comments (yes really)

[toxic anvil]

Thank's I'll give it a try

[full vessel]

(Besides the footstep sound glitch) it's a default feature of stalker's ai. the idea is that people aren't happy when you point loaded guns at their face, legend or not

[dire trench]

Hello Stalkers

[true lotus]

I've been trying to replace the main menu music with a quiet atmospheric room tone, but when I replace the original OGG file (I renamed it to something else so I don't lose it) with mine, it's just dead silent at the main menu. If I click on an option and then go back, it starts playing a glitchy staticy sound. Changing the original file back of course fixes it, but I'm wondering what's going on.

Within the existing modlist, there's another mod that the current theme overrides, so I tried using that file and it plays just fine. At first I thought there was something wrong with my specific file, but I had an identical issue trying to use a generated 4 minutes of silence from Audacity.

[worthy harbor]

If I'd like to contribute into project, anyhow (for example fixing some texts, tooltips etc.) whom shall I contact? can I create PR just in the GAMMA repo?

[sudden inlet]

It depends. For mods downloaded from moddb you can contact their devs or create a patch.
For mods from Gamma repo you can PR changes

[worthy harbor]

the stuff like weapon & armor stats, questlines are in gamma repo, right?
so I can just create a PR and then I'll see?

[naive snow]

Could be your audio codec, could be your Hz or your audio format. I suggest you look at the Anomaly Modding book for how to properly make audio files

[sudden inlet]

Yeah, most dltxes or patches located there

[naive snow]

A whole lot of the weapon descriptions and info is handled by GMTOP, you could probably start there

[true lotus]

Come to think of it, I'm betting it is the Hz

The sort of sound I was hearing did kind of remind me of what happens when you screw up a file's intended Hz

Yep, it looks like GAMMA uses 44100 Hz as opposed to the 48000 Hz I was using

I'll test shortly with the now correct frequency

[toxic anvil]

I get that, but i have a rifle out, its 00:00, i'm sniping a merc in wild territory, an ecologist shows up from behind me (technically he snuck up on me) with their head lamp on and just illuminates me, the merc squad now can see me in the darkness, and he's just stood there like an ABSOLUTE melon, shouting about me having my gun out that isn't even remotely pointed at him

[naive snow]

But that's an entire different thing. That falls in part to the stealth system and visibility distances of NPCs

[full vessel]

yeah, the execution isn't the best. maybe i have rose-tinted glasses but i remember the whole "pointing their guns at you" behavior working much better and more appropriately

[toxic anvil]

dude was so angry that i was just stood there looking at a merc, like it's his cousin or something

Either way i resolved the issue by shooting the ecologist in the head, taking a reputation hit and then taking out the mercs

[full vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/sealyx-gta-iv-niko-bellic-gif-16068757564404490286

hey! dont shoot that merc, we need go go bowling later!

[undone spruce]

it should be, but i'll look into it when animating

[violet aurora]

guys what iam missing i wanna make my addon to be configurable but it still empty i cant test then if the addon work properly

[west adder]

this may be a foolish question, but can i print things from a shader for diagnostic purposes

like print to log

[lilac ibex]

nope

what are you trying to debug tho, maybe i'll have some tips for ya

[lilac ibex]

if you really need to print smth, you can use this library: https://github.com/electronicarts/ShaderToHuman

[west adder]

dont need to print anything now, just asking for if i do. I am trying to port beefs shaders to work with pip scopes (specifically the pip scopes from desolation, an anomaly fork i really like)
i know next to nothing about shader coding but i have a rudimentary knowledge of c so it should be fine as i shouldnt have to rewrite much code

however advice would be useful. one thing i am trying to understand is where in the pipeline the nvg shaders are processed. i kinda assume combine_1.ps is where the compositing of the image takes place. it loads night_vision.h and then processes whatever affects are selected in anomaly settings, then processes beefs nvgs (this is the version of combine_1.ps included in beefs ofc). in desolation at least, it processes the nv for the pip scope in models_lense_scope.ps and i have been able to test changing its color values. what confuses me is where nightvision_gen_1.ps nightvision_gen_2.ps and nightvision_gen_3.ps come into play.
hopefully you can shed some light on this

wait

also

youre the guy beef credits in his mod

cool

[lilac ibex]

what confuses me is where nightvision_gen_1.ps nightvision_gen_2.ps and nightvision_gen_3.ps come into play.
after combine1 stage (and blur, dof)

it's a fullscreen pass. shader selection is done in phase_nightvision code
doing beefs nvg sounds more like an engine work. you would run separate nvg passes for main viewport, and pip one

[west adder]

damn

[lilac ibex]

thats just my guess - i'm not using pip scopes anymore

but usually we did shrimple nv, inside of lens shader. that worked well enough - perhaps you can do beefs el cheapo, where you would only apply tint, noise, maybe tiny blur

[west adder]

lmao the gen1 shader has Pi = 6.28318530718

[lilac ibex]

at least its not acos(-1)

[west adder]

acos(e^(i*pi))

[worthy harbor]

Hi,

I already asked in newbies-chat and oflin redirected me to Veerserif.
I'd like to use my programming skills and somehow contribute into gamma. I'd like to try something basic but useful - fixing some texts/tooltips for items. A lots of players are complaining about this. Later on maybe some bugfixes.

oflin mentioned GMTOP mod, which has XMLs full of this data, but some other mods are overriding these. How can I start? any learning resources/articles? which tools shall I download?

[summer stream]

https://github.com/veerserif/gamma-dashboard/blob/main/xml_overwrites.md
https://github.com/veerserif/gamma-dashboard/blob/main/dltx_guide.md
these are helpful

[worthy harbor]

and some links to GMTOP repo, or other repos where the items strings are located?

[misty mulch]

gmtop is overriding everything else, not the other way around. you could do this shit with notepad but i would recommend at least Notepad++

you do not want to direct overwrite the files from GMTOP, since that will just make the problem worse

the issue is that because GMTOP directly replaces files, you can't stop it from working. the next best thing is to essentially make a better version of it. which i am doing at https://github.com/veerserif/g-strings

it is on hiatus because i'm tired boss

but yeah

[misty mulch]

did you read the MCM documentation at https://github.com/RAX-Anomaly/Anomaly-Mod-Configuration-Menu?

[fair canopy]

[misty mulch]

i don't wanna rewrite the gun names and you can't make me etc.

[fair canopy]

i'll do it! eventually

[ionic pecan]

Hello everyone, does anyone know where to find a link to mod kmack's vss vintorez expanded?

In the video on Gamma, they said it's in the mods posting section.

Alas, I did not find it myself

[fair canopy]

he took it down

[worthy harbor]

you're making better ver of GMTOP? so I can create then PR into this repo?

[misty mulch]

if you understand how to do the overwrites, yeah, but i do get final discretion over what goes in. ftr, i've gone through all the quest dialogues, the next most pressing thing are item descriptions and names
