Why am i not finding any vehicle mods

[trail sundial]

The hassle of doing vehicle stuff vs the minimal benefit of having done it makes them unpopular for people to work on.

[toxic hatch]

I see how that would be an issue

Especially when most people dont know to yield at the poltergeist

[uneven shoal]

hello is there a way to change the yellow stash chance and/or the getting after x number of quests compelted

i want to fasten the progression

[rough lion]

Change this value in "grok_treause_manager.ltx" in "Stashes Overhaul"

[uneven shoal]

Thanks you so much

[shrewd otter]

trying to learn lua, would y'all recommend visual studio or am i okay sticking with N++?

[tame steppe]

I love Notepad++ but the tools you can use with visual studio honestly make VS much better

#╙🖇mods-making-discussion message follow this and you’ll be able to get a lot of insight into baked in functions just by typing them in

though you might have to do a little bit of configuring around it’s definitely a very good tool, but tbh I’m biased so I’d still recommend Notepad++

[shrewd otter]

oh that's really cool, thank you!!

[tame steppe]

[shrewd otter]

i may have overestimated my learning capabilities

[tame steppe]

start small, I believe in you !

I started scripting by making a script that gives you 15 casings after shooting 15 times ha

[shrewd otter]

i will keep trying again later but i did feel a bit overwhelmed opening this up

i'll take a break then keep reading Programming in Lua

[tame steppe]

don’t know what your trying to do but good luck 🫡

i really liked the system from clear sky so i thought i'd might as well try to learn lua and give it a shot at finishing it

[crystal blade]

I made myself and my friends an async multiplayer mod for GAMMA, to enhance the Soulslike mode on very hard difficulties. All stalker stashes around the world have persistent online storage (so we can leave stuff for each other) There's also a chat and notifs when and why they die.

hope I can make it stable enough, put it on github and share with people. I just don't understand modding that well yet, but it's nice to play around with a friend group

[warm sentinel]

Still post it and let people experiment with it, maybe people will be able to help you improve it

[crystal blade]

sounds good, I will take some time to finish up the idea and play with it a bit, cleanup lua, make it easier to setup and post it.

[warm sentinel]

Probably make sure it works with regular Anomaly as well beforehand tho

[crystal blade]

I am new in the modding scene, but how do people usually do that? Separate mods for both gamma and anomaly or some kind of compatibility/existence of values checking in a singular mod?

[warm sentinel]

GAMMA is literally a modpack for Anomaly

If it works with Anomaly by itself, then it should happily work with any modpack

[crystal blade]

I know but GAMMA has a lot of extra stuff, and when it comes to item sync I found you need to take into account modded attachments/upgrades and all kinds of other stuff. But indeed I'll try to get it working on Anomaly first

[jade oxide]

OH DEAR, improving grok casing ? it tends to not "register" when you shoot a lot of bullets, hence giving not enough casing sounds... fixing that is a poggers

[tame steppe]

nah it was just giving the actor casing items

very simple but i learnt a little

[jade oxide]

oh

[warm sentinel]

@tame steppe Since you are around are you aware of any mod or way to increase stamina regeneration speed while crouching/low crouching and standing still? I feel like that'd reduce the tedium of running out of stamina

[tame steppe]

not entirely sure unfortunately

[sweet dew]

Hello everyone

I copied the file, removed this lines but the actor still doesnt die after 1 hit (no matter damage, for example rpg7 or f1)

How to finally remove this feature?

[drifting moat]

It's a monkey patch. The original file still assigns the damage mitigating script .

Actually that's not true since this file completely overwrites the original one.

[tame steppe]

zzzzzz

[sweet dew]

changes in this file works fine. everithing exept this feature

looks like this section doesnt work at all

[tame steppe]

i cant really help you because i dont know what this file is

[native oyster]

Can someone tell me how the "Training Day" quest from Fanatic in the Rookie village is set up? I wanted to change the loadout so that players get the Geiger counter by default instead of the Echo detector, but now I need Fanatic to give the player a echo detector again, like he did in Anomaly.

[rustic kettle]

is there anywhere a list of areas/locations names something like "old_church_guid" or "yantar_guid" ? I wanna add extra places to where a guide can travel but can't find these names, I looked in debug but can't find anything either

[drifting moat]

Then that is probably monkey patched by another file.
Which would be weird since Grok doesn't like when his stuff is monkey patched. He's telling people to just completely overwrite the file instead.

What's the name of the function?

[cunning scarab]

is there a mod for headphones like in Tarkov - they adjust different volumes, like gun volume lowered but footsteps increased

[rough lion]

no

[coarse atlas]

@toxic hatch Ok. The vanilla GAMMA has the issue.

At least I can debug it myself instead of relying on others like the last time..

[coarse atlas]

@toxic hatch Can you check again which version of GT Emplacement you are using?

You can check it in MCM - GT - Emplacement

[toxic hatch]

I think it was 1.2, which needed the "@exclusive" edit fix

@coarse atlas

[coarse atlas]

I see. Then some other mods modify xr_combat_ignore.

[toxic hatch]

is that what causes them not to shoot anything?

[coarse atlas]

I will check to see who is the culprit and curse them.

[coarse atlas]

Yes. Very likely.

07/04/26: 1.4 Minor additional features. Bug fixes.

• Fix a bug where machine gun firing range is limited to 74 meters which is stalker out-of-combat visibility. Now machine gun firing range is extended to beyond 200 meters. (Require updating Modded exes)
• Change M2A1 item icon to one that is more consistent with other weapon pack mods.
• Add sanity verification to check for conflicts with other mods that modify xr_combat_ignore.script.

[toxic hatch]

I'll try again soon with updated modded exes and your latest version
Since its 1.2 and not 1.4 that i have, that might fix it

[coarse atlas]

But I will check who did it and let you know later.

[toxic hatch]

What does "add sanity verification" do?

[coarse atlas]

It won't fix. Nothing I can do from my end can fix it. I only add a gate keep to crash the game when it finds this conflict.

[coarse atlas]

[toxic hatch]

Oh, just prevents it from crashing

Im also gonna tweak my load order again to make sure it should overwrite anything else

[toxic hatch]

Would it be possible to create an option that makes the mod say that there is a conflict with another mod?

[native oyster]

Found the answer. It is in the dialogs_escape.xml file. In Gamma, the loadout mod changes <text>fanat_training_anomaly_reached_2</text> <action>dialogs_mlr.give_det_adva_from_fanat</action> <next>3</next>
to be

                <next>3</next>

Interestingly, later on in that xml, the line <action>dialogs_mlr.give_lead_box_from_fanat</action> is still here, but I am pretty sure he doesn't actually give you a lead box.
I am not sure why...

[sudden inlet]

Grok did something about artefact containers, that definitely affected this change

[twin viper]

I am trying to adjust BaS HUD FOV to not have the L85 so close to the body (and hopefully some other weapons) would anyone be able to point me to the lines that would help with that? (I am not doing the in-game because if I do in-game, the AKs go too far out, so wanna adjust the hud_fov to push some weapons out but not others)

I tried modifying the hud_fov line but that seemed to do nothing, and the position line towards the top didnt seem to react either (I might also be modifying the wrong version of the file, not sure if I can modify directly in the mod or in the VFS)

[sweet dew]

function shit_booster(shit, bone_id, k_ap)

[drifting moat]

See if anything monkey patches that function.

[sweet dew]

where to search his pathes?

[drifting moat]

I would do it with total commander.
Actually I already did for you and it seems like it's not monkey patched by anything.

[sweet dew]

I have just started searching with notepad++
already have 2 entries

its going to be long but effective

[drifting moat]

There are a lot of references, but they're all in the same file

[sweet dew]

but this way will show me all function declarations.. i hope

[coarse atlas]

@toxic hatch Thanks. I found the problem. But a fix might need some time.

[sweet dew]

it seems that u were right. could u run search in whole gamma folder please? or maybe in anomaly folder.. dont know.
that file in your screen is the file that i am trying to change (no result)

[coarse atlas]

@remote crown Your changes in xr_combat_ignore.script make it not compatible with modded exes.
function xr_combat_ignore.is_enemy(npc, enemy, noMemory)

[drifting moat]

That was the whole gamma folder that's worth searching. Anomaly folders won't have results since this is not an anomaly file.

[sweet dew]

a u sure that it isn't original anomaly feature?

[crystal blade]

anyone has any idea why creating multiple stacks of matches in a container can't be done, but it works with other items?
alife_create_item("box_matches",container_obj) calling this multiple times only creates one stack for me

[sweet dew]

its ok, turned off G.A.M.M.A. Actor Damage Balancer and died from grenade. so i might have done something wrong

[drifting moat]

Yeah, just look at the file name.

[drifting moat]

Maybe those are mitigated by the game. Or you just missed a part in that script.
It's a huge one I wouldn't be surprised.

[lunar kayak]

Hey
I modified the texture for the ghillie mesh from gfy and i had to change the shader of one of the meshes. Now i get a shadow for this particular mesh with actors shadows OFF (1st picture) even if all the other meshes have the same shader to it. With actor shadows ON (2nd picture) this mesh's shadow is separated.
This has been happening before 0.9.5 but was fixed when 0.9.5 was out and now it's happening again after updating gamma.
Any ideas ?

[rough lion]

How do I make artefacts not bright?
Trying to emulate Lost Alpha style artefacts

[dim hare]

Try:

[af_$name]
lights_enabled = false
trail_light_range = 0

[rough lion]

Already tried those in the screenshot

Feel like there's a better way of doing it than to give it a darker texture

[coarse violet]

Anyone know how I would go about adding campfires to the hideout furniture mod?

[toxic hatch]

You have? Thats great

[steady heath]

Does anyone know any good player and npc models other than the kvma? i am also looking for better sleeve models. Especially for the sunrise. Does anyone know?

[heavy meteor]

Does anyone know where the file is I would adjust to change the durability of knives? I might learn how to mod if thats whats required but I figured I could just make adjustments to the on hit reduction and be good.

[coarse atlas]

@toxic hatch Please help me check this out. Enable all your other mods too for good measure.

[toxic hatch]

What version would this be based on?

[coarse atlas]

Just update modded exes if it requires.

[toxic hatch]

Well here goes nottin'

[toxic hatch]

It works now, big success

[coarse atlas]

[coarse atlas]

What is that searchlight?

I don't remember having made it there.

[toxic hatch]

Thats from Hideout Furniture

I have turned Dead City into a fortress

[toxic hatch]

It would be pretty cool if the second machinegun was here or if there were mercenaries on the big roof looking with binoculars

[coarse atlas]

These aren't vanilla Anomaly not to mention the fact that MG don't have gun depression to shoot down.

[coarse atlas]

The one inside the base can cover all direct approaching paths from the south.

[toxic hatch]

Looks like atleast -15° gun depression, seems fine

Whoops

[coarse atlas]

-15 was on the edge. The ammo box has already clipped into the tripod. It's just not visible from the player view.

[toxic hatch]

Can NPC still utilize this -15°?

[coarse atlas]

Yes.

[toxic hatch]

I dont think the clipping is really a problem 😄

[coarse atlas]

They have as much angle as player do.

[toxic hatch]

But it would be cool if there were some Mercenaries on the roof with binocular animation like the one on the street with the machinegun

[coarse atlas]

There is no walkable path for stalkers to walk to the roof.

[toxic hatch]

Let me test

There are two ladders to the roof after all

Strange

[coarse atlas]

There is just no walkable path for AI to go there.

[toxic hatch]

Something prevents NPCs from going to the roof, teleporting to the roof or spawning there

[coarse atlas]

It's invisible.

[toxic hatch]

They could use the ladders

But something else is going on here, they cant spawn or teleport to the roof at all

Companion teleport does not work or debug spawn

[coarse atlas]

These are level vertex ids.

They guide stalkers and mutants to move around the map.

[toxic hatch]

Huh

[coarse atlas]

They're invisible. I just mark them with backpack so we can see.

[mortal flint]

jeez, you are still testing GT

[coarse atlas]

They can only navigate to locations that have a level vertex id.

[toxic hatch]

Dude he is doing some awesome stuff

[mortal flint]

i know

[toxic hatch]

So like if you move around it would put backpacks everywhere except where NPCs cant move

[mortal flint]

im happy to help too

[coarse atlas]

Fixing AI issue of GAMMA

[coarse atlas]

Yes

It's just my tool to check valid path for stalkers.

[weary root]

yep there's no ai grid on roof

[toxic hatch]

fixed*

its working perfect now

[toxic hatch]

Can AI not spawn in places without path?

[weary root]

yep

[toxic hatch]

Ah that makes sense then

[weary root]

ai grid is only place they can spawn and move on

[coarse atlas]

Hm? How do they know I put an MG here to adapt their mod with?

[toxic hatch]

?

[summer stream]

i have
only one question
how hard is ai grid to be made

[coarse atlas]

The mod that added these metal plates.

[weary root]

they will go through any static object that is on ai grid and they don't care about laws of physic since they are "ice skating" on it

[toxic hatch]

This is all built by me

[weary root]

u sellect terrain and other objects that u want to generate ai grid on and click generate

[coarse atlas]

Ah Ok

[toxic hatch]

Hideout Furniture mod adds walls and plates and other stuff to build with

[summer stream]

so the main problem
is that the sdk sucks

[weary root]

*anomaly sucks

[summer stream]

so both sides

got it

and u need to manually fix it if something breaks?

[weary root]

sdk is ez to work in

[weary root]

just gimicky

[summer stream]

or regenerate till it works

[summer stream]

welp, this says literally everything about x-ray engine
only god knows how the fuck it works

or maybe not

[toxic hatch]

Engine was made by young ukrainan entrepreneur who wanted to make a name for himself on microsoft pain(t)
SDK was later built by modders iirc

[mortal flint]

gpu drivers updating unironically works

[toxic hatch]

the game runs so bad on one CPU core that you have to either use a different engine or run everything on the GPU basically

[toxic hatch]

@coarse atlas Have you considered making a mission where you have to use the you-know-what to fend off a group of helicopters?

[coarse atlas]

I thought. But I can't make one. It fit a main quest mission. But I won't be making a campaign mod anytime soon.

[carmine latch]

im looking for the actor.ltx or the m_stalker.itx folders so i can change player hitbox sizes and they are no where to be found in either anomoly or gamma folders can someone help direct me to these folders

[toxic hatch]

is bro making women

https://tenor.com/view/rock-one-eyebrow-raised-rock-staring-the-rock-gif-22113367

[carmine latch]

tf does that even mean

i just need to reduce player collision hitbox and was told to come here

[toxic hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/gif-gif-15379971984385267012

Okay

"Reducing player collision hitbox"

[obsidian basalt]

https://tenor.com/view/zaunvi-caitvitwt-gif-1251875630135871970

[carmine latch]

can someone pls just tell me where the file is

[rough lion]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/smaller-stalker-collision-radius

Here’s a mod for reference

[carmine latch]

how would i install this? wouldnt it be different since im launching anomoly modded to gamma not just anomoly

i was told adding mods breaks stuff

[rough lion]

Not if you know what line you’re changing

[carmine latch]

thats the thing i cant find the line to change it

[toxic hatch]

well maybe if you download this mod

you can see the files inside

[rough lion]

Or read the description

[toxic hatch]

You dont even have to install it

Its how i changed a shitton of Grok's mods to suit my needs..

[carmine latch]

if i cant find the file to even contain the player hitbox values this will not help me. i need to find the original files first

which i cant find

[toxic hatch]

what are you normally using to install mods?

[rough lion]

Make a dltx file that changes those specific lines for actor.ltx

[carmine latch]

for this im just using the launcher and mod organizer

[carmine latch]

BRO....pls...how many times do i have to say it...i cant FIND actor.ltx

[toxic hatch]

Download the mod
Check the files
Search for your lines that you want
Open Mod Organizer, use the right hand side window and type in the file name

[carmine latch]

i dont have a creatures file

[rough lion]

You dont need the original file to make a dltx file

https://tenor.com/view/boondocks-read-rap-fans-exorcism-uncle-ruckus-gif-8662632631608934966

[carmine latch]

then i am lost pls help

cuz idk how to do that or where to place it

[toxic hatch]

To be fair the anomaly folder actually doesnt contain a creatures file, i dont even know where it is

[toxic hatch]

Have you tried the Mod Organizer approach

Did it just not show you anything when you used MO2 to search for Actor.ltx

[carmine latch]

WHY TF DOES IT POP UP HERE AND NOT IN THE REAL FILES

ty

also ima go alt f4 irl

[carmine latch]

ima give you a kiss AND steal this meme

[toxic hatch]

No problem brochacho

[carmine latch]

do you know which values are x,y,z

are they laid out a certain way

[toxic hatch]

I have NO fuckin clue tbh, you should use the actor.ltx in that mod for reference and check for differences

never edited any actor hitboxes myself

[carmine latch]

ty either weay holy shit i was boutta drink bleach

[toxic hatch]

You can probably just swap out the actor.ltx lines altogether by using the ones from that mod

You can just open actor.ltx thru MO2

in that window i showed ya, doubleclick

[carmine latch]

just replace the lines entirely?

[toxic hatch]

I'd do that as a last resort, first try to figure out which ones are responsible for the hitbox changes

Make a backup of the old lines first

put em in a .txt or smth

[rough lion]

It literally tells you in the description of the mod i linked that its:

ORIGINAL:

ph_box1_size = 0.35, 0.67, 0.30
ph_box2_size = 0.35, 0.22, 0.35
stalker_restrictor_radius = 0.25;0.1;0.1;0.1;0.1
stalker_small_restrictor_radius = 0.25;

EDITED:

ph_box1_size = 0.25, 0.67, 0.20
ph_box2_size = 0.25, 0.22, 0.25
stalker_restrictor_radius = 0.05;0.02;0.02;0.02;0.02
stalker_small_restrictor_radius = .01;

[toxic hatch]

or that

[rough lion]

Its such a braindead easy edit

[toxic hatch]

i didnt bother to look at the moddb site

[carmine latch]

im very new to all this

[toxic hatch]

[rough lion]

Got what you’re looking for?

[carmine latch]

i think so ty both genuinely

[toxic hatch]

👌

[carmine latch]

@rough lion @toxic hatch the things id do to you boys if you were in front of me right now

ty so much

[toxic hatch]

https://tenor.com/view/shad-shadstroy-nikolai-nikostalker-stalker-gif-15837594930706091013

[carmine latch]

oh also the fuggin mod organizer trick is a huge knowledge boon too ty for that

[toxic hatch]

I also had to start somewhere

[carmine latch]

hahahah so i fixed it already but whoever made this mod is an idiot lol with his settings the hb is fixed but ppl still have hit boxes on their feet so you just stand on their feet when you get close

its hilarious

@rough lion figured youd find it funny too

[toxic hatch]

I mean to be fair, i think the point of the mod was just so you could walk through stalkers that blocked your way, so stepping on their feet sounds like a non-issue

So the entire collision hitbox was moved to their feet so they can't literally phase through objects

[carmine latch]

its just funny walking up to someone and suddenly yur up a foot

[toxic hatch]

Since removing their entire hitbox would make them fall through the world, probably

Lol

[carmine latch]

dumbahh zone dweller cant even levitate smh

[toxic hatch]

Thats for Poltergeists

[carmine latch]

levitation is for everyone

@toxic hatch also will i need to do this after every update? im assuming an update will rewrite those files correct?

[toxic hatch]

Uh i dont think so?

[carmine latch]

oh if not thats awesome

[oblique tapir]

what settings do I need to mess with in the hud editor to fix ironsight alingment?

[coarse atlas]

@toxic hatch Yo, what name would you want to be used in the credits of my mod?

[toxic hatch]

Huh, you want to add me to your mod credits? lol

Then

Kanortex

[coarse atlas]

Done.

@toxic hatch Grab the new version, 1.5. I have some extra bug fix beside the AI one.

Found it?

[rough lion]

Not yet, only seen it in the OGF tool 😄

[bitter zephyr]

Can I request modders to make mods in this channel?

If so I'd like modders to fix npcs using normal walk animations when they walk really slowly, a mod that makes npcs uncover their face if they wear for example helmets and masks when they eat and drink and... I guess that's it for now.

Oh yeah, a mod that makes npcs not stand in rooms awkwardly when they're hiding from an emission would also be nice 😄

[drifting moat]

This is for mod makers to discuss mod making. There isn't really a mod suggestion channel. Even if there was one modders in general like to work on their own stuff.

[bitter zephyr]

Oh ok, sorry then.

[drifting moat]

But mods are sometimes born from suggestions. I made this for example because a guy told me his mod idea:

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1361848518091870248

[bitter zephyr]

Shameless plug, but nonetheless I could use a mod like that. Guess I will search through the mod lists to find what I am looking for. I don't think I want to get into the hassle of trying to mod myself. I would have to learn everything from the ground up.

[drifting moat]

I would advise you to do start it

[bitter zephyr]

Yeah those mod ideas are good, right? More immersion... hmm is there a comprehensive guide somewhere?

[drifting moat]

It will be very frustrating in the first 1-2 weeks if you've never even programmed before, but after the initial hurdle you will see the beauty of it

[bitter zephyr]

I programmed before, and I modded before. But every game has its own language and you need to learn that and that can be time consuming.

[drifting moat]

Sure there is: https://anomaly-modding-book.netlify.app

[bitter zephyr]

Thanks

[drifting moat]

Learning lua is a useful thing I think.
Stuff you learn here could also be applied to other languages that support functional programming.
I've learned monkey patching while modding and later it came super handy at my job.

Plus once you get to a certain experience level the language won't make much of a difference (of course some take longer to get started + the more you learn a language the more profficient you're). The basics to start can be picked up in a few days for most.

[sudden inlet]

That's an interesting idea about uncovering npc's face, curious to see what will be in the result

[bitter zephyr]

No pressure. I haven't said I will make it, yet. 😄

[drifting moat]

I would start with the walking animation and the emission thing. Those should be pretty straightforward.
The uncovering the face thing I think would be a bit tricky.

[bitter zephyr]

I thought about maybe just making a simple face swap first and then maybe if I am involved enough make different steps between the swap.

But idk

Like I said I haven't agreed to making anything 😄

[drifting moat]

I think you would need to mod the engine for that and it isn't supported at all what you're describing. It would be really difficult

[sudden inlet]

You are on the modders list already

[bitter zephyr]

Yeah and that's I think what deters me the most. Learning the limitations of the engine.

[drifting moat]

Well if you know C++ and are willing to duel with the engine then there aren't any limitations

[bitter zephyr]

That can be really annoying when you try to mod a game. "I have this really awesome idea. It should be easy to implement." But engine says no, you can't do that.

[drifting moat]

My second mod was expanding the engine for a gun modder.

[bitter zephyr]

I don't know C++

[drifting moat]

Neither did I

But yes. It can be frustrating.
And in general stalker modding happens in Lua.

[hoary cipher]

Another modder has risen

[bitter zephyr]

I will probably take a look at all that and decide whether I will do anything. But I really like this game. Anyway...

[bitter zephyr]

No. Nooooooooooo

[drifting moat]

[hoary cipher]

Yes

Yessss

Watch out. A talk like this is all it takes. Then you're hooked for ages

[hoary cipher]

It's real a real pain but I can stop modding

[crisp oxide]

is someone know where can i download "Rotten life" ?

[formal plover]

Thank you so much. That mod is really useful. I do have a question, though: if dynamic relationships are enabled, won't Clear Sky and Duty still tend to become enemies in the new update?

[grizzled anchor]

Niiice, ty.

what's the currently best mod to reimplement classic stalker economy to faction traders? I.e faction traders to sell faction armor and faction preferred guns, depending on player's standing.

[drifting moat]

I actually am

[crisp oxide]

me too

[drifting moat]

I pity your mental health then. Are you doing BP only or C++ too?

[crisp oxide]

c#

[drifting moat]

Oh you went with unity

[crisp oxide]

ye, it gives me more freedom to shoot myself in the leg

love it

[nocturne topaz]

freedom mentioned

[drifting moat]

At least your changes aren't a thousand files all the time.
With C++ every time I commit even just a simpler thing I look at what's changed and it's a million files.

I'd just die

[fair tinsel]

So when it comes to making material mods that replace the map's textures for replacements. Are there any good tutorials on how to get through the process of it all for?

I've been dabbling with some of the original textures from Anomaly and COP so I was wondering what's the general rules and census of the usage of image upscalers I'd love to see how this stuff would look if properly put into the game

[simple scaffold]

Maybe, that system can be weird. You can always just change it again.

[simple scaffold]

Probably just need to turn off whatever mod in gama took that away

[flint zenith]

How do I add a disassembly recipe to an item?

[grizzled anchor]

nah, doesn't work like that. default anomaly eco values are completely unbalanced for gamma, and that also removes whatever new items gamma economy gives to traders.
There were mods in the past that adapted vanilla eco for gamma, like armor prices, etc. guess I'll just have to wait for their updates or smth.

ohright, Black Market.

wonder if it got updated. Upd: it wasn't, crashes the game

What do the logs say? Did you report this?

[mortal flint]

seems to be working

at least not duplicate section

[grizzled anchor]

it has a chance to crash (did for me on Sidorovich), dont have the save anymore. but it disappeared once I removed the mod.
since it's a mod, I didn't report, will do later once I run into it again.

[drifting moat]

You're right, but a lot of people use it. I think GAMMA "supports" that mod, though I'm in no position to confirm that.

Hello, I am currently working on a new voice actor mod for the player, I have my files, converted them from .wav to .ogg, made sure they were at 44100kh, ran them through savant and copied a similar file and naming structure to SaloEater's Voice Actor Refined, but for some reason the sounds won't trigger in game. Am I missing something? Any help would be awesome. This is my first time making a mod so please be gentle. 🙂

[hoary cipher]

Incase anyone was wondering the script that allows you to have dynamic attachments with upgrades works with MAS also

[sudden inlet]

I would advice posting that on GitHub so we can see what exactly is in your project.
And I will definitely add a guide explaining how does it all work

[tired stream]

I don't have it finished yet, I only made a handful of sounds. I wanted to test it before I went whole hog on it.

[warm sentinel]

Is anybody aware of how the Escort the Scientist missions work?

As in when you get to the location if there is a timer until their scans are complete

I'd seriously like to make it so the scans complete instantly to avoid the sometimes 2 minutes wait while the NPCs bugger around

[main plover]

At least for me it works like that:
Arrive on site
task updated
let him crouch and make measurements
Go away outside of his range
and
task is completed

so you dont need to wait

[warm sentinel]

Whenever I try to do something similar the task sort of bugs out and takes longer half the time

I don't like skipping tasks just because they are buggy but the tedium of waiting while they do nothing kills me

[summer stream]

that'll make it export

[bleak phoenix]

Every time I try to edit clear sky's rep with duty the game crashes, what's up with that? Game doesn't like those being edited apparently.

Hey would anyone be open to a few weapon mod commissions?

I have an idea for a small pack of anti material rifles
Tankgehwer in 13.2x92
Ptrd and ptrs in 14.5x114
And lastly a pgm hecate II in 12.7x99

Hecate 2 was made by Juan I think

[native anchor]

Im looking to comm a pack of all three? But if someone made a decent hecate II can ya send me a link?

[tame steppe]

are you willing to pay money ?

[native anchor]

Well...yeah that's what a commission is?

Just might need a few paychecks tbh

bonus if you toss in a custom aps stetchkin with a laser and red dot compat

[tame steppe]

yeah just to be clear

a lot of people just want somebody to do a gun without giving anything

there’ll probably be someone interested I guess

[native anchor]

Tbh id pay knack like 250? For this and the custom aps

Did you just change the animation without doing anything else? Motion crash like that means the bones in the gun don't match the ones the animation goes to

[outer garnet]

Does anyone know the approximates of what makes it hard to bring the multiplayer mod made for Call of Pripyat over to Anomaly specifically?

[nocturne rover]

game sees player as unique sole entety worlds and scripts revolve around
Then entire Anomaly is written on thousands if not more of Lua scripts
running a full scripts sync by itself an interesting task

and thats not even counting how many other scripts you can add on top with mods

xrmpe just entirely ditched Lua and rewrote engine in C++ and implemented a system that treats server as main entity instead of Actor/Player, so theres no reason to sync all the mods and scripts since it just all goes through a server

also remember that original games had only rudamentary basic PVP multiplayer code that was run on fucking ancient GameSpy, devs rewrote that part to into steam and p2p

kind of hard to put into words how difficult it would be to make Lua project like Anomaly be multiplayer, since scripts can't even be consistently synced on a single player client some code is that atrocious

my surfare level understanding of it somewhat, im not a dev

[dire rain]

That u should bring Anomaly to XRMPE and not in the other order

[green root]

You're in the right place. I commented on the 4 lines that are doing it. I've changed it and it worked for me (though I do use a modified script)

[outer garnet]

That or you'd need a different method which might be less stable, as is from the sounds of it that'd still need a full rewrite in either direction, either for the mods or the game itself

[dire rain]

Maybe, but for have a good example of that, check Shadow of Coop, is most likely a recreation and that's why the development was sooooooooooo long.
Like, it's very different on x aspects and is almost the same in other, u would imagine how complex would be a hypothetical "XRMPE Anomaly"

[sly jungle]

Is there a guide on how to fix caps or a program like with relationships? I don't like 100% resistances at all. How are caps determined and can be overwhelmed by arti? Will I be able to find it myself in Actor(player) Damage Rebalance?

I could then put this in the public domain, plus now at 0.95 after the rework, I think the best time to do it. I just find it absurd to have 100 resists to everything that upset the original balance of the costumes

[random fulcrum]

watch as bro comes back in a few minutes asking as to why the script no longer loads because he copypasted what you sent him (you commented with ; which isn't the comment opener for lua)

[green root]

Oh yeah that’s an ltx comment, oops.

[green root]

Grok has the cap limiter at 0.9, so 90%

It used to be 95%

[random fulcrum]

that's 50% more damage taken

[sly jungle]

Do you know how to twist it to 50 for bullets and tearing?

[green root]

Line 233 is base limiter in the grok_actor_damage_balancer.script....
Line 449 is limiter... well limiter. If you're going over 90% with any limiter I question if you have a modified game. This should apply to all damage types written as-is.

If you want to break them out so each limiter can have a separate max cap... You'd have to write that it's not part of it currently.

[green root]

I had to think about this way too long, I'm going to sleep lol

[sly jungle]

So it's easier to deal with physical artifacts, isn't it? On my request

[green root]

I mean you could reduce their cap increase stat, or reduce the amount of BR they provide. That's just an ltx edit.

[sly jungle]

Can you tell me the number of the mod where the artifacts are set their stats?

Anyway big thanks friend

[green root]

Groks pre-mitigation applies... actually oddly that modifier gets 0'd out when applied to just bullets.

[summer girder]

Are you using any of this to create a mod on your own?

My Living Legend quest is bugged. The ‘Escort Rogue through Jupiter Underground’ step completes when encounter the monilith in the underground, but no next objective appears. I even tried older saves and it still breaks at the same spot. The trigger at the Jupiter Underground exit never fires, and the quest removes itself with no follow‑up task. My console also doesn’t support the lua command, so I can’t force the info_portion directly. im not sure what to do to i can continue the storyline

instead of the lua code in the post use something like: db.actor:give_info_portion("info_portion_id")

[next zinc]

People:

About bullet_speed values : the lower the faster ?

Bullet speed = fire rate right ?

[trail sundial]

Fire rate is rpm

[rough lion]

Increasing fire rate also increases firerate for NPCs aswell, something to keep in mind for semi automatic guns

you give the VSS 900 RPM, the NPC starts firing it like its a fully automatic rifle

[drifting moat]

For the mag fed grenade launcher classes I also implemented a separate fire rate for ai, so it can be set separately

[rough lion]

Oh?

[drifting moat]

Maybe I could've added it to all weapons. It's not a complicated thing to add, but it requires engine modification

[rough lion]

You could suggest that modification to the modded exes, no?

[drifting moat]

I could create a PR, but I would have to download anomaly, do the modification, compile the engine, test the changes and only then make the PR. That's at least 2-3 hours

Don't really have that time rn, but we'll see

[tame steppe]

would you be okay if I tried to do this by using your SSRS code? with you credited of course and only if you are too busy to do it yourself

I currently have the tools to try it out

[grizzled anchor]

Anyone played around these ZCP settings? is there anything potentially interfering with them?
Like, I'm getting somewhat less of a mutant pop increase than expected, and I have other Anomaly modpack to compare (I assume better not be named here), where cranking it from default 0.5 to 3 results in pretty big mutant waves here and there.

[fair canopy]

Check out why it doesn't work with mags as well while you're in there

[tame steppe]

mags for the SSRS…?

[drifting moat]

Don't let me be the gatekeeper of this. I made the SSRS by looking at how the engine implements other stuff.

Not my code anyways. It's open source as soon as you contribute it's free real estate.

[drifting moat]

Mags mod

[tame steppe]

like mags redux?

[tame steppe]

okay thanks !

[drifting moat]

Yep. I remember that I had to patch it for the initial release. I guess some updates broke it.

[tame steppe]

that’s rough, I’ll try to figure it out if I can

[drifting moat]

I remember it was tricky. Also the grenades were causing problems also with WCT. The projectiles triggered it and the gun kept unscoping. That took a while to figure out what caused it.

[tame steppe]

it might be a little out of my scope to try to fix those things sorry, I’m actually very new to coding in general but I’ll try my best !

[drifting moat]

I've already fixed those brotherman. You're looking at a whole new horizon of possible bugs.

It's a good project for you then. Doing stuff out of your league elevates you closer to it.

[tame steppe]

[tame steppe]

I sure do hope so

but I’ll just start with the ai rpm thing first

[drifting moat]

My github has a guide on modding mag fed launchers into the game. It has a section explaining the AI RPM setting. From there we could check how it is called in the RTX and searching for it in the engine code will lead to the implementation.

[tame steppe]

I just checked git blame for your changes in ltx_help_ex and found your commit for SSRS and the corresponding engine files , also what’s the RTX?

[drifting moat]

Where have you seen RTX?

[covert dock]

ok found out that the code has been working from the start, but there are other modifiers that seems to be interfering with the armor damage that confused me.

It seems that certain artefacts which lower bullet protection are also increasing armor damage. That is odd.

[tame steppe]

in your message? Is it like some tool to track code?

[drifting moat]

Oh. I meant to write LTX

I am so fucking tired

https://tenor.com/view/fall-shatter-roblox-death-robeats-gif-23642645

[tame steppe]

oh I see, no worries

rest well man

[drifting moat]

Soon I will. Keep me posted about how you're doing. I'll even check the PR if you want

[tame steppe]

sure ! thanks a lot !
will probably take me a while though considering working on the engine is exhausting having to compile for 6 min every single small change haha

[regal wadi]

fellas, the RWAP weapons bounce around wayy too much and i wanna edit the ltx files to make it bounce around less. what values should i change?

i don't mean vertical recoil, but rather the actor is pretty much is just wiggling around uncomfortably while shooting which is stupid

[drifting moat]

Back in my days it used to take much longer

Build time was optimized few months back

[tame steppe]

I can’t imagine

[tame steppe]

very glad that it was

[drifting moat]

Yeah. This last year was awesome for the engine. Lot of great features

[rough lion]

Not as good as IX-Ray but, you know, this community gatekeeps mods from each other

[green root]

Could be unintended. The damage value in the logic is calculated off the shit.power, but that is set equal to pbadamage. After that is when the damage is calculated to the player, with the damage variable. This same variable is what’s also used for armor damage.

If you want that to stop you could use the shit.power value, but the script sets that to 0 before you get to armor calculations. So you’d need to remove that or move it after the armor calculations.

You’d also need to store the original shit.power value before it’s set equal to pba.

[drifting moat]

Yeah? Have you played with that engine? How big is the diff. I haven't even tried the multu threaded anomaly branch

[rough lion]

Its a pretty modern modification of X-Ray with multi-threading, fast loading times and many quality of life changes

has upscaling by native, too

[hoary cipher]

Someone should just put ix-ray in demonized I joke slightly since it's happening slowly but still it seems to have a lot of cool features

[rough lion]

The IX-Ray feature ports are already happening

[dense zephyr]

possible music for GAMMA? I think this fits perfectly

[lilac ibex]

ixr is the guy she told you not to worry about

[rough lion]

Muh cagslop music

[dire rain]

IX-Ray is the best open source fork of X-Ray, of these is the one that most features has, due to have a big team that could work in a lot of thingis, better loading times, better multithreading, PBR, more modding capacities, and each big update has a different focus.
In the future IX-Ray will support SoC, CS and CoCk

[lilac ibex]

pBR*

math is fucked up

[hoary cipher]

True I hope it's not very effort intensive because they all seem good

Now who's gonna make a version of "Talk To Everyone" so you cant talk to sleeping stalkers and enemies?

Cause i sure don't know how lol

[covert dock]

it seems that certain artefacts somehow override it or adds another hidden modifier.
Do you know where are artifacts stats located? I looked in items_artefacts.ltx but i noticed that not all artifacts stats are there and those that are missing might be the cause. Testing it now with dev mode. The stats are all over the place.

[grizzled anchor]

5.45 HP and Hydra HP show near exact same damage stats (58 vs 60, both AP 10)
Is this the new reality or is it time to wait for Accurate Stats mod to get updated to see the real damage difference?

[green root]

It has to be the perk based artifacts. Search perk based in the files.

[covert dock]

It happened to me when I was just trying out Oasis, for example. Also its *ballistics stats are missing in items_artefacts.ltx BUT its ingame. Other artefacts stats are also different or missing in file that are ingame.

[trail sundial]

They have a similar k_hit value so the damage should be close.

[grizzled anchor]

interesting, which means there's 0 reason to use Hydra weapon over something like 5.45?
Given that 5.45 weapon also has access to much better FMJ, as well as high AP round.

[trail sundial]

Well, type A guns vs type C for example

[grizzled anchor]

but yeah, thats not part of the mods discussion. ty for the info.

[trail sundial]

And perhaps you want to use your rifle ammo parts for something else.

[grizzled anchor]

well, Type C hydra exists.

[modern tendon]

availability of ammo could be a concern as later on handgun bullets are available but you other ammo might be reserved for stalkers (its the only thing i can think of)

[shrewd otter]

is something as small as this worth making a #1035807043933720576 entry for? its just a small .script edit that makes it so both versions of the PKM (wpn_pkm_siber and wpn_pkm) can be traded in to Nimble for the Zenit, instead of just the wpn_pkm_siber

[grizzled anchor]

im talking about Accurate Stats Extended UI rework.

[covert dock]

I am sorry but I am unable to find anything that might be connected.
It just seems that certain artefacts (Oasis, kolobok) with negative ballistic resistances add another modifier to the outfit damage from fire_wound and these stats (and some others) are sometimes missing in** items_artefacts.ltx**.

[flat terrace]

Question: how do I add new scopes to 3DSS?

[rigid sail]

Since backing up user settings is getting some attention at the moment, a thought occured. Given that user.ltx and axr_options.ltx (From the MCM saving mod) are .ltx files, what's stopping us from saving the the changes a player makes to them into a DLTX format?

This would mean that the user doesn't have to backup their settings, and any additions to the user.ltx file that need to happen can happen without bricking old files.

We'd presumably need some form of program, both to catch alterations to those menus on the fly and add them to the DLTX file, but also to scan through the base ltx files after updates and alert the player if any of their changes conflict with a change made by the update.

[trail sundial]

Find existing scope with similar shape and size lenses

Copy those onto your new scope (reticle, 2 none.dds ones, and lens) position and scale them.

Shazam, new 3dss scope

[flat terrace]

does it work the same way with red dots/magnifiers/thermals?

[trail sundial]

Magnifyers are just a 3dss scope

Red dots are simpler. They just have a reticle and maybe some glass geometry

[green root]

That's from the stacking of the "damage" value. This is how grok does it, and I guess the way I do it would do the same.
But that "damage" value is what we're using to calculate against the player damage and armor damage.

ballistic res will be part of the player_protection value, so if you have a negative value, 1 - 0.1 for example, now you have a 1.1 multipler for damage.

[flat terrace]

and thermals?

Is there a mod to make Stalkers wander into more areas? There's entire potions of the map in Darkscape, Dark Valley, and Truck Cemetary that squads dont go. I'm looking for a mod that will make Stalkers explore more and lead to more organic interactions

[sudden inlet]

You can always try https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/zhopa-alife-101-anomaly-153modded-exes
and #1481332358832455731 will make Stalker to move on the global map more

But otherwise, there is a high doubt any such mod exists

[lapis mica]

Anything in the works? I know this has been a concern for awhile. I'm sure it comes down to engine limitations

[sudden inlet]

I, personally, don't familiar with anything else except those two.

[sudden inlet]

Well, #1172337845025919006 also gives "purpose" to npcs and make them to move with some goal

[lapis mica]

I appreciate you responding either way, I was just thinking the other night when I was on the east side of truck cemetary that I never see Stalkers wander there. Same with some of the northern area there as well

I'll take a look, and see if maybe these might help alleviate that

[sudden inlet]

Stalkers move between smarts (special points on the map) and east side just doesn't have many

[lapis mica]

I'm assuming that manually adding them is a massive pain?

[sudden inlet]

Most likely, yeah. It may be even require modders to use level sources that are lost for Anomaly at all

Guys, hi, I've added a mod for ak, and as soon as I pick it up, I get the next crash. The mod author is silent about this, so maybe someone can help me? There are no conflicts in mo2. ! error in model [anomaly_weapons\wpn_akm74\wpn_akm74_hud].

If not, go get it.

this?

[toxic hatch]

Just add that to MO2 and put it as higher priority than any gun mods

[queen jackal]

It didn't help((

Still the same mistake

[toxic hatch]

Thats strange

Do you have the moddb link to the mod?

[queen jackal]

I would really appreciate it if you could help me.

[queen jackal]

I have a modded exe installed.

[toxic hatch]

Well the crash seems to be linked to the HUD

Try playing around with your load order if you have any patches installed that edit your HUD

[queen jackal]

I put this mod at the top of the list, and I'm still getting the same crash(

the only mod that changes the HUD, which I also disabled

[mortal flint]

this isnt support blyat

[toxic hatch]

Honestly at this point you should consider not using the mod

there is a mod that properly deletes it

[high radish]

Quick question, is LUA used to make mods for Anomaly ?

[drifting moat]

Yes for the scripting part

[tired drift]

Hey guys if i put aimpos=false into configs of a gun while i already have it ingame can it cause issues?

[tame steppe]

itll be fine

[random fulcrum]

very worst case scenario you'll have to attach a scope on the thing so that the game creates a new instance of the gun with the updated parameter

but i haven't seen that happen outside of f7 > numpad 0 scenarios

[tired drift]

thx

[high radish]

Thanks, What are the other part ? and what do i need to learn if i wanna start making mods for anomaly (Other than LUA language)?

[tame steppe]

the engine part uses C++ if you ever want to edit it

[toxic hatch]

You should also atleast know how to use Paint and have Windows Bandera or newer

[high radish]

oh hell no

No C++ HELL NOOOO

[tame steppe]

C++

ill never understand the inheritance stuff going on in there

[drifting moat]

The core and most important skills for modding anomaly are not even knowing Lua in my opinion.

It's the ability to navigate the files and be able to find what you're looking for. That's such an essential soft skill.

Other one is to be able to ask questions that are easy/easier to answer. I mean to be able to express yourself in a conscise and coherent way.

[drifting moat]

What exactly? Inheritance is an OOP thing not a C++ specialty

Of course languages have their own kinks when it comes to inheritance

[tame steppe]

yeah OOP in general, like when I see inherited::(somefunction) I don’t generally know how to find it accurately

or what the hell the scope resolution operator means at all

[tame steppe]

[drifting moat]

Just check the parent class and CTRL+F for the name.
Or move cursor to method and press ALT+J (this will take you to the "parent" method)

[frail scaffold]

Are there any mods that improve AI awareness? For example, enemies don’t react to sounds, you can be next to an AI that is looking away from you, you can walk up to him, jump, make tons of noise, and he won't turn around and shoot you.

I assume there is no logic for an actual 'noise' variable in this game, which means crouching has no purpose other than probably being accurate for shooting?

[drifting moat]

Scope is a very vague term.

For example these are 2 different scopes:
#╙🖇mods-making-discussion
#1035807043933720576

In programming even this is a scope

{
//Hey the two curly braces define a scope.
}

If you have a block of code:

int SomeInt = 1;
int SomeInt = 2; //Redeclaration error

{
  int SomeInt = 1;
}
int SomeInt = 2; //No redeclaration error here, because bot declarations happen at a different scope.
{
  int SomeInt = 3; //Redeclaration error, because `int SomeInt = 2;` is in a "parent" scope.
}

Namespaces and classes are scopes too. The scope resolution operator helps making the intent of what you want to use explicit.

public class SomeClass
{
  public static int SomeInt; //SomeClass scope
}

public class SomeOtherClass
{
  public static int SomeInt; //SomeOtherClasss cope
}

int main() {
  public static int SomeInt; //Local scope

  SomeInt = 2; //This will set the locally scoped SomeInt to '2'.
  SomeClass::SomeInt = 3; //This will set SomeClass's SomeInt to '3'.
  //The scope resolution operator is this -> "::"
}

[tame steppe]

thanks for the explanation

but i generally dont know how cpp works at all

im still trying to learn overall from the start

its not just one thing i dont understand

[drifting moat]

C++ is not an easy language. Plus it's kinda messy too. Not the pretties either

[drifting moat]

Time and consistency will bridge the gap don't worry

[tame steppe]

thank you for the insight

[drifting moat]

Sometimes it's hard to learn a theory because you just can't see where/why it would be used.
When you also see real life examples that's when stuff usually clicks. This is especially the case with design patterns or even some OOP principles.

[tame steppe]

ill definitely look into examples then thank you so much

[drifting moat]

Sure thing. Good luck!

[covert dock]

sight.., I give up. There are just so many things to tweak that are all over the place. Is there a way how to completely disable/turn off outfit damage from all sources/modifiers/effects?

[dim hare]

For AMD cards you need to roll your drivers forward like so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHpopHmHuYg

[green root]

idk if there is a way from an MCM setting... but you could just do this. Basically 0s out the damage that is subtracted from the condition. Armor shouldn't lose durability anymore. Unless there is something outside the grok_actor_damage script that calculates armor damage.

[wooden patrol]

If I wantred to increase the belt slots of an outfit, how would I go about doing that?

[green root]

find the ltx config per armor, increase that value.

[wooden patrol]

Could you walk me through how to find this, please?

[green root]

in MO2 search for a file called gamma_armor_protections
it'll start with mod_system_zzzzzz or something similar. Should have all the armors in that.

[wooden patrol]

I edited the value, but it didn't seem to work.

In-game still has 1+1 more for upgrade

[drifting moat]

I think it doesn't work for already existing ones

Try spawning a new one from debug

[wooden patrol]

Oh..

That could be it..

Nope that didn't work

[drifting moat]

You saved the file and restarted the game, right?

[wooden patrol]

Yes

[drifting moat]

Next thing I would check if the section is DLTX-ed by another file

[wooden patrol]

How would I do that xdd

nevermind

I got it to work

I had to edit another armor ltx x

[drifting moat]

The one that probably DLTX-ed the first one

[south steeple]

Hey fellas, this might be somewhat beyond the scope of this channel, but I'm gonna ask anyway:

Is there any way for me to visualize the actor's collision hull? From what I've been able to gather, it's kind of like a fucked up capsule/snowman looking thing?

I can see there's:

m_geom_shell = dCreateCylinder(0, m_radius / k, m_cyl_hight + doun);
m_wheel      = dCreateSphere(0, m_radius);
m_hat        = dCreateSphere(0, m_radius / k);

const dReal k = 1.20f;

so it's basically a capsule shape, but the bottom sphere of the capsule is 1.2x larger than it would normally otherwise be in a normal capsule.

It just sounds so weird, I kinda want to see it, but I'm not sure how I would.

I'm look at anomaly source code and not seeing one, looking into creating a visualizer script instead

close enough

[summer stream]

balls

[south steeple]

you can definitely get closer to walls than m_wheel would allow if it were part of the collision hull tho, so it's still a little bit or a mystery i guess

Sure I can help a bit maybe, where are you rn?

[flat terrace]

so basically, I did the whole: line up the lenses in blender, scale accordingly , and all the rest. I got my gun wired up for MAS, and in game my lens just looks like a black void

Can’t see shit through it, it’s patented to the correct armature because it’s alt is the same as the MAS scope I’m using as a template.

Where did I go wrong?

[hoary cipher]

Did you assign a texture to it? You have to assign a texture to the lens part

wonder if it's possible to make it use hud models and equip in grenade slot.

[coarse atlas]

Not a good idea to make it a grenade. It will require a lot of changes in the engine. Might screw up grenade.

Maybe just holding it on hand like a device?

But don't take any current device slots.

I don't know. God knows which slots are already used by which mods.

Good to know that but I think FDDA and backpack animation use that slot. They can easily jeopardize my mod.

[west osprey]

just a quick question, anyone have a mod that makes the 40-round M4A1 Protector Mag into a 30-round one?

[simple scaffold]

yeah, it is for that kind of thing. wouldn't those kinds of actions clash with what you are doing any way? just stop your placement render/process when your item is no longer the active item. TBH that is probably a good way to allow ppl to cancel placement in emergency, they hit the key to change to gun you will want to get out of thier way so they can fight. having it be a slot item they can swap away from would allow that cleanly and would allow other animation things to interupt in an organic seeming way. its not like those animations trigger by anything that isnt' a deliberate action.

either way, if want to do it all you do is put this text in the below filepath/file

this i think, not 100% sure

ty ty

nah the line isnt in the script

nvm found it lmao

[calm kernel]

But what about other decor items then? There's a decor item - painting, and you can drop it on the ground without getting any errors. I can't understand your argument at all.

And there's actual meshes for these posters and shit. It's just something wrong with them (wrongly extracted or error in scripts, idk, this is why I'm asking for help in understanding the issue).

[heavy mortar]

it works btw do you know where the code is for the stats of lucifer I hate repairing it but the sheer stats it gives is way too strong I want to nerf it by like 75% overall

[nocturne rover]

stats for it are kind of scattered all around the script
But its this script 100%

i wouldn't recommend you doing that, too much effort for little gain

[heavy mortar]

bruuuuh Ima leave it as is then

[nocturne rover]

like there's asection "speed boosts" and it gives assigns speed boosts to 3 artefacts in the middle of nowhere, then it has another perkifact code for 200 lines

[mortal flint]

its cuz of their physics

[nocturne rover]

im never reworking lucifer even if i wanted to

[heavy mortar]

😭

I was gonna say how reworking lucifer so its less stats but no repair condition would be better

the repair is hella tedious rather than being hard

[nocturne rover]

adding tedium to counterbalance overpowered feature where have i heard that before
cough cough ||mags|| cough

[heavy mortar]

Im all in about making gamma hard but honestly this is not the way 😭

[nocturne rover]

i like the concept of Lucifer its really fucking cool though

[heavy mortar]

on god too bad its so fucking tedious

maybe they could have made it into a special quest? and make it so the quest involves a ritual where you have to get every single level 4 artifacts then sacrifice them all the gain the lucifer

maybe every level 3+ artifact

it would still fit in line with the sacrificing but would make it way more tolerable since you wont have to sacrifice artifacts anymore

[nocturne rover]

can anyone smarter than me tell which of these models is associated with the 'sentinel of freedom" suit

Outfits -> type in search sentinel of freedom -> open it
svoboda_heavy_outfit_2

gamma database makes it pretty trivial to find an internal name

[bright sleet]

My problem is i already knew it was called svoboda_heavy_outfit_2 from dev mode, but that file name doesn't exist here

[nocturne rover]

is there not config file that lists what meshes to use for each suit?
its one of those pretty sure

[bright sleet]

Not that i know of, ima kinda just going thru them one by one in game, but it just taking a min to reboot each time, hoping someone might have just known

Guess Ill just keep trying different ones

[nocturne rover]

visual                     = anomaly_weapons\hands\wpn_hand_freedom_guardian```

try that one

[bright sleet]

interesting, i figured that one would go to the "guardian of freedom" but ill try it

where did u find this btw?

[covert dock]

Sorry for a late reply. Thank you it seems to be working BUT there are indeed some hidden modifiers. If you have artefact which lowers ballistics protection and you add a ballistic plate aswell, It will start to damage outfit again.
In file (mod_system_grok_plates_rework) plates do not seems to change fire_wound_immunity.

[bright sleet]

omg that one is it thank you, interesting name when there is a totally different suit named guardian of freedom

would have legit been the last one i tried

thats why i looked in the file

Hello everyone, apologies if this isn't the correct place to ask but I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to increase the health of the mutants in the game ?
I've tried tweaking some variables in the various files in the creatures foldler but it didn't seem to have any effect.
What I'm essetially trying to do is say, double Bloodsucker HP, tripple Chimera HP.
Thanks !

[calm kernel]

Hmm... So I do need to fix it in SDK somehow?

[green root]

Hmm…
If you use any ballistic plate, and a negative BR artifact? But just a negative BR artifact is okay? And just the plate is okay?
Plates don’t normally increase ballistic res, just br class

[random fulcrum]

make their damage resistances higher

xray doesn't have traditional health values, everything uses a 0..1 float scale for their health and damage is modified through resistances

[covert dock]

outfit with either the artifact or the plate is fine, but as soon as both are equipped, the outfit takes damage again.
Also, I haven't found anywhere where the BR class for those plates etc. are set.

wonder if someone knows, is it possible to make 2 things -

1. make mask overlay be "under" pda? as it covers corners of it some times text, time not visible too ect
2. make pda not get water drops from rain? as using T does not clear it

[lilac ibex]

1. mask overlay is fullscreen quad rendered AFTER the geometry pass. not gonna happen.
   you can try to write a simple script that disables overlay when you equip pda
2. you'll need to tweak pda shader i think

[brave tartan]

okay, shader tweak might be possible. right, oh well. thanks for info. as I constantly wanna check time and cannot as overlay covering corner with the time and cannot see it xD

oh I guess I cant check latest "news" for the time too. or spawn msyelf watch to use

mind you - im not using MO2 so i cant help ya to find the file

Question for someone better at blender than me. I have an issue when I import an ogf into blender. I've exported this before as-is, but I needed to modify the laser dot to line up with the muzzle bone, so all I did this time was adjust the scale/x/y/z of the laser. Now when I try to export, I typically go to each sub component, and the main component ogf and click "HQ Export" in the X-ray Engine plugin, otherwise I've found I lose vertices/faces.
Now when I go to export you can see at the bottom of the export screen the file name is blank, and if I click export, instead of exporting it as one ogf as the main component, it exports each component individually.

If I uncheck "HQ Export" on all the sub components it will export as one file, but as I said I lost vertices in the past doing that so I was told to check for each. Correct me if I'm wrong here.

[summer stream]

HQ Motions means HQ Animations.
Not HQ model.
You need to keep Format Version CS/CoP because they support much more than SoC.
Whatever you're trying to do here, seems wrong.
It'll keep every change you did to laser, but it's pretty pointless. Gamma has already built-in laser editor, so you can edit it in any way you can.

Plus, you would need to do edit the TEXTURE too.

So it'll be much more visible.

[green root]

Was working with Hero last night, he said if the laser dot point of impact is off from the actual bullet point of impact that requires a mesh edit. He achieves the dot visibility by scaling it up massively, he shared a video on it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MU_5nrWkzXg&t=600s
I am exporting as CoP, and the HQ Export is checked on the right side which is the model flag from everything I can find and what I've seen.

You don't check the HQ model export in the export window I believe, you check it in the x-ray plugin in the right side panel. At least that's what I've seen from his videos, but I could be missing something he goes much faster through this then I can 😅

[summer stream]

"Point of Impact"?
What does that even mean?

[green root]

where the bullet hits vs where you aim.

[summer stream]

Ah.
It's better to look via having textures on.
And looking from camera angle too(the one in-game, so that's basically how our character sees).

[green root]

You can see it here in hud editor, the crosshair dot is up/right of the laser dot. But the scope when you aim is accurate.

[summer stream]

Most of the time laser isn't supposed to be dead accurate.

I have no idea why people are going awooga over wrong placement for lasers, they are used to help you see where your bullet will seemingly hit.

Not 100% in there.

And plus,
this is alt_aim.

You can edit it.

Agreed, they lose zero more often than people realize. Thankfully Grok hasn't added a weapon zero feature 😅

I care less about the accuracy, and more about why I can't get exports to work right.

Also you can't edit the point of aim to laser point easily here. If you adjust the Alt Position to line it up, it puts the gun ontop of your face, and the point of impact actually follows the alt_orientation value.

then it's all just going off from the muzzle bone

[tame steppe]

its on by default

Do we not like 3d ballisitics? 🤔

[summer stream]

Then..another question raises.

does blender give out any errors?

[summer stream]

It's 50/50.
Good and bad.

For modded guns,
bad.
For built-in,
good.

But it depends on how people made it

since...some guns have the muzzle part somewhere in the ass.

[green root]

I might have to pull my mod out of gamma and test this, or even test it in my mod and see if it's repeatable. I find it weird they'd have this stacking effect...
Also the BR class addition comes from the grok_actor_damage script itself, it's kept in a table and used as an adder.

[green root]

No, it just spits out all the sub component ogfs into individual files.

[summer stream]

oh.

[green root]

Oh yeah that's why Hero made the guide on updating the muzzle bone I guess.

[summer stream]

give me the blend file

i want to look into it myself

[summer stream]

no like, the BLEND file

the PROJECT that you're doing this in

[green root]

I usually just start with an empty file and import/export... I'll make a file I guess

[summer stream]

oh boy..

[summer stream]

question, what blender version are you using?

[green root]

5.0.1

[summer stream]

..ah.

damn.

[green root]

What should I use?

[summer stream]

use 5.1

it's more stable than 5.0

or you can use the 4.3,
since it's basically the last version before 5.0 that is actually usable

OH

OH I SEE IT NOW

LMAO

yep

done

[green root]

What I miss?

[summer stream]

the mistake is

don't do it separately

[green root]

🤔

[summer stream]

HQ Export makes it so every model

is a separate ogf

so all you need to do is

[green root]

So only check it on the parent ogf?

[summer stream]

..blend them all together via Ctrl+J

and then do HQ Export

easy as that

[green root]

Hmm... when I did that and tried to load the ogf in game last time it crashed

I'll give it a shot though

thank you

[summer stream]

load it via ogf editor first

if it wont load,
something broke

[green root]

Okay, I'll try that with the next model now.
Do I need to select all the objects in a certain way?

[summer stream]

no, you can select any

but if you want to seem right,
select receiver first

[green root]

before/after join. It does load into the editor. I also tried not joining and just checking HQ Export on the main ogf and that seems to work too 🤔

Yeah both methods seem to work fine. So long as I don't go to the sub components below "wpn_aug_a3_specter_hud_laser_rc2.ogf" and check the "HQ Export" box.

[summer stream]

yes

[green root]

Appreciate the help, now maybe I'll finish doing all the sights 😅 Maybe... I don't care about most.

[summer stream]

[green root]

@summer stream one more question for you, what differences do you recommend when exporting the hud/anomaly_weapons model vs the world/dynamic model?

[lilac ibex]

world meshes = low poly

[summer stream]

hud model = high poly, all of the bones that are used for animation
world model = low poly, only the required bones, magazine and wpn_body, since engine needs to process every bone in the model

[tacit fog]

i would love a 3dss in this gun

[lilac ibex]

so?

look up 3dss tutorials n stuff

[tacit fog]

k

[lilac ibex]

ot

[green root]

@tacit fog here's a guide
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOhIR-AhXp0&t=424s

Any chance a guide exists on taking the holy poly model and making it low poly? Should I just delete all bones aside form the body/mag? I figured that would break stuff.

[summer stream]

..don't

don't

do that

it can break A LOT

of stuff.

use a model that is ready for world, not the hud one

[green root]

Alright I'll dig one up from somewhere.

[tacit fog]

lol his voice so low i can't hear anything

[green root]

Yeah have to turn the volume up, but Hero is the man who did basically all the gamma guns so he's the goat.
But someone should talk to him about his mic on videos lol

[fair canopy]

yeah im not an obs user at all

just set your volume to 120%

[green root]

@summer stream yeah it got mad...
! Error: world item visual [dynamics\weapons\wpn_aug_modern\wpn_aug_a3_laser_rc2] has no shape!

FATAL ERROR

[summer stream]

yea.

yeaaaa...

please use a dynamic model from BaS

[fair canopy]

pretty sure world models only need wpn_body, magazin, and wpn_silencer. i think you can also do wpn_Scope

[green root]

What i don't like about typically using the dynamic model, is they often don't match the model to what is equipped to the gun. Suppressor/scope etc...

[fair canopy]

youd need to set a visual model for each scope section that matches your scope

if you use an unoptimized hud model then you'll be adding a lot of file size for a very small thing

[green root]

Yeah with each dynamic model. That's what I did before... but I think I used the HUD model and it worked 😅

But yeah less efficient since the engine has to now render that

[fair canopy]

making a world model isnt hard. making a good one take a bit of setup

i would not personally do one for each scope. instead pick a scope and red dot you like and use that as a generic world model for each relevant section

[green root]

But my immersion 🙁 lol
No you're absolutely right. That's way too much work. I may just go back to the base model and leave it.

[random fulcrum]

more than too much work (it's not that much since you just swap out the scope) it's about the file size skyrocketing

a poor world model that needs to be duplicated for every scope available for the gun could easily take your mod into the 100mb range

for a single gun

[green root]

So I was able to replicate your issue with the change you made, and it honestly makes no sense to me. With the *0 method we used earlier it should zero out any damage created. So I tried just commenting out the equation entirely and that set the damage to zero with a plate and a goldfish with -10% bullet res.

[trail sundial]

Like for the world model?

[green root]

Yeah

[trail sundial]

You can decimate it a little if your model has a lot of polys

It doesn't really matter what bones it has as far as I know. But it shouldn't have a motion reference

[grizzled anchor]

Do any mods for Gamma or even Anomaly exist, that add a Military outpost somewhere in the North? for non-camo military playthroughs.

[fair granite]

Anyone happens to know the LTX files that controls dead city tasks in base gamma

[velvet bronze]

hey I'm trying to fix a Mod that is crashing my game, to do that i have to check if an Object(NPC) is destroyed, is there some form of documentation/Tutorial ? I couldn't find anything useful in the pins so far.

[simple scaffold]

That is weird. Enough so that I think anything I did know about how that mod worked is very out of date. Need to find a modeler to ask

[lilac ibex]

afaik xcvb posted some snippets for destroying npcs/objects

on anomaly discord

• checks iirc

you can ping him tbf

[simple scaffold]

No sorry, I have been mostly inactive of late, and do not know who is doing what, particularly with gamma

[mortal flint]

do you know russian?

[simple scaffold]

That message is meant to be passed onto the mod author. They are storing a copy of an NPC past when the game has deleted the NPC, when they try and use their copy it breaks things.

It isn't necessarily something with your save. It is a programmer error. Like dividing by zero or making an infinite loop.

A skilled script modder would have to analyze the script to find the mistake. It can be easy or really annoying to find. Generaly easier for the original author than someone else.

[velvet bronze]

the problem i have is that the Experience Framework mod is Crashing because of the Phantom mod from 9.5 because the script tries to check if the Enemy is Alive but the object is destroyed and not dead so the script crashes, so i thought that if i added a if condition for destroyed i could avoid the script error

[mortal flint]

which script crashes you?

phantom one or experience framework?

[velvet bronze]

Experience Framwork, the one responsible for the Healthbar

if i shoot one of the new Phantoms, the ones that look like normal enemy's with the HP Hud active, it gives a Busy Hands error and if i continue i crash on next save

[mortal flint]

ye that script spawns actual mutant

could you post a log
