I totally love this tutorial! It appears that it is possible to tweak any items in the game... I am so interested in modding the artefacts... ;-) Thanks for this!
First off, thank you for this video...I only wanted to make one change to the Remington 870. Second, I actually used majority of your steps but keep the files separate and used Mod Manager 2. It correctly applied the new adjustments to the weapon as if it was just another addon. Note: I did not make another variant, I just changed the stats on the base weapon and added my custom mod where you put all other Mod Manager 2 mods [mods/new remington/gamedata/....]
The entire remington870 text controls the gun and sights. Copy the entire thing and rename the headings. Make sure you change parent selection to something unique. If you don't and leave it as remington870 it will be hidden in the debug.
Hi, thanks so much for the guide! Could you keep making videos like this? I would really like to make my own weapon based on Makarov, with a different model and a different file. All the best!
@@WaveysGamingAdventure hi wavey i just saw this video do you think you could show how to edit the starting guns for factions (the ones you see when making your character) i dont want to do anything crazy just give all factions the pump action shotgun as an option

Hi Wavey! Thanks very much for your STALKER Anomaly mod tutorial vids. Would you please help with adding a copy of a scope? Modified, of course. Work already done in both weapon and addon ltx's and txt xml, but inside inventory, although when spawned it shows up as a separate item, the scope blends into original version instead of keeping separate icon/item after detaching/unequipping it from the weapon. What gives? Thank you much for your kind and prompt response.
I wonder how to make a new Generic Warfare Traders\Medics\Mechanics to the new bases when a faction captures them. Like Northen Agroprom that had loner trader and mechanic in Clear Sky.
Lol glad you enjoyed! As for a QnA, well I don't really get questions here so it'd just be me making stuff up. I do stream from time to time, and I will be this Friday around 3pm EST if you want to come by and chat
i find and replaced "anomaly" in every sentence whilst playing somehow; im fairly new to anomaly in general, any clue how to unfuck it? or what i should avoid pressing?
i have a error, my weapon icon is invisible, and idk how to fix it xD, but everything else works perfectly :D Thank You For This Tutorial!, i always wanted to mod Stalker since i knew it back in 2014 :D
I don't understand... I also followed your suit creation video and it works like a charm. Then I tried the rifles again. Created the same file structure, copied the relevant rifle file (w_m16.ltx). Edited it a bit, loaded the game and again, the item spawner does not list it as an option.
Hey i know its been 2 years from this vid but why doesnt this work ingame with the debug mode, when i press apply nothing happens, just want to shortterm change weapons
hmm, i must've did something wrong. my game doesnt start up at all. i had to replace gamedata with original for game to work again. will try again tomorrow and see how it goes.
nice video anyway... modding in STALKER is good (obviously not perfect, but much better than others) a good system that fully supports modding should be: files for textures files for models and animations files for weapon specifications and other settings these files with the same initial name, all in a folder with this name put the folder in the appropriate weapons folder and the game automatically inserts NPCs, containers and merchants at startup in the spawn the settings file should contain the various statistics such as weight and damage, etc., and... the rarity of the weapon, so that the game automatically makes the weapon appear often or not, or if only drops, merchants, or stashes.... etc. all automatic, without merges/edits or anything else its absurd that in 2024 there isn't even a game (not even those of Bethesda, which claims to be a pro-modding brand) with this simple and functional system (also obvious)
I'm a little late to this, but I wanted to ask whether or not this works for Anomaly 1.5.2 as well 1.5.2 works as a patch to 1.5.1, so I assume it'd work just fine, but I'd like to ask ahead of time just in case
So, I am using the Boomsticks and Sharpsticks mod, and was trying to make a custom Steyr AUG A3 variant, but I did everything here, and I can't seem to locate it in the debug spawn files to be actually spawned. I placed the _1 neext to both the weapon, and the HUD, but I noticed this weapon has a lot of scope addons also done for it. Do I need to also _1 the scope addons? Or just the HUD? And any idea why i can't see the weapon in the item spawner?
Hey Wavey! I play Stalker EFP (so I'm a glutton for punishment) and I'd like to create a mod that uses the same animation for putting on armor/helmet but have it trigger when moving a gun or item from your inventory to your body. Maybe have the helmet animation, because it's shorter, for pistols and the armor animation for rifles. Also, would it be possible to have these animations trigger when adding items to your F1-F4 slots and/or the artifact/armor plate slots? Is this possible, if so, could you provide some guidance? EFP Discord is not helpful, btw. Thanks in advance! Keep up the videos, broski!
There is probably a way, but I wouldn’t be able to guide you Some folks have done interesting animations like a backpack animation for opening the inventory. Only issue is these addons often have lots of issues, so it’s not very easy
Hey, thank you for the video, I have a question, for some reason editing the default weapon ltx has no effect. I can edit and recreate weapons withing the gamedata folder but not with the unpacked ones. Any idea what the problem could be? Is there another folder or what do I have to do to make the reload the default weapon configs. Thanks in advance
So the gamedata folder inside Anomaly is what the game will use if there are files present. If you don’t move what you modify into the gamedata folder, then it won’t use it. If you don’t have the same file structure as the way it came when we unpacked the db files, the game won’t use it. That’s why when I do this stuff, I usually start with an empty gamedata folder, so I know what is and isn’t there. As for getting back to default configurations, well you can simply remove the offending files from the gamedata folder. That’ll make the game use the regular old files
It'll have to be something with the file. Either a parameter is missing or incorrect, or maybe an asset isn't included when it should be. Check the crash logs, they're under "appdata/logs". That might give you a clue.
@@WaveysGamingAdventure it says that it Can't find variable max_zoom_factor in [wpn_rg-69] altho that does not exist even in the original file of the rg6
That will happen. You can check the crash logs under the appdata folder, to see what went wrong. Or just take those modified files back out, so you can get the game running again.
I tried it first on the scar but it didn't work so I then did exactly what you did on the colt 1911 and still it didn't work, the new version of the gun that I just created never appeared in the game, is it because im using addons? such as boom sticks and sharp sticks?
Yeah the addons are conflicting in some way It’s possible to have both, that’s just mod de-conflicting. It’s effectively the same process I described, but you’d make the addition/changes to the files that come from Boomsticks, not the files from the unpacked folder Then you just install Boomsticks normally.
I used a remodel addon to change the Saiga 12S into the Saiga 12K, but the name hasn't changed. So instead of making a copy and _1 at the end, can I just edit the Saiga file directly? Is it safe?
Sure, you can edit both the weapon file and text file directly If you just want to change the name, you can edit the text file only. You just need the right weapon id.
Hey there Wavey, I kinda need some help. Followed each and every step but the weapon itself doesn't appear in the debug menu. Can you help? Thanks in advance!
First thing, did you copy over the files you modified into the Anomaly gamedata folder? If yes, is the folder structure correct? The video should show it, something like “config/scripts/weapons”. The folder needs to be correct for anomaly to figure out what to do. Again, the video should have the right folder structure. From there, is the new entry in the modified file a unique entry? If it has the same ID as something else, it will overwrite the other object. It needs to be it’s own distinct object. After that, I couldn’t say what the problem is without looking at it myself. Hopefully I could help.
@@WaveysGamingAdventure Hey there Wavey, got some good news and bad news. Followed your exact instruction for the Colt, worked perfectly. The one I'm stuck on is editing the AK-103 and the M4, can you help me on that part or should I just fiddle round somemore? Best regards.
You have to equip it first, click the “i” key to bring up inventory. Double left mouse click on the gun to put it in your slot. then you can use keyboard keys 1 & 2 to bring the weapon up. From there, right mouse click to aim down sights, left mouse click to fire.
See, Provak's mod has a lot of bitchin guns and upgrades; but installing it in it's entirety make's my game crash harder than someone's wine-drunk spouse. I'm hoping to just add the individual weapons from the pack I want to avoid such.
absolutely. If you wanted to use 7.62x51 for exemple, add: ammo_class = ammo_7.62x51_fmj, ammo_7.62x51_fmj_bad, ammo_7.62x51_fmj_verybad, ammo_7.62x51_ap, ammo_7.62x51_ap_bad, ammo_7.62x51_ap_verybad like he does in the "editing weapon file" part of the video. If you want the weapon to use another type of ammo, simple change all the "7.62x51" for the wanted type^^

I don't understand...
I also followed your suit creation video and it works like a charm.
Then I tried the rifles again. Created the same file structure, copied the relevant rifle file (w_m16.ltx). Edited it a bit, loaded the game and again, the item spawner does not list it as an option.
Very nice and practical tutorial!
Can you make a tutorial about creating custom ammo/caliber types as well including adding them to loadouts of npc's?
Mmmm probably not. I haven’t done that myself, so I would need to learn how

Hi, just wondering if you've delved into the dialogue side of things. I was hoping to add some rumors to the pool that stalkers can respond with.

what about outfits? i can't modify them
Any idea how to make custom ammo? Id like to make a new 7.62 round but the game doesn't seem to recognize it when i edit the files
nice video anyway...
modding in STALKER is good (obviously not perfect, but much better than others)
a good system that fully supports modding should be:
files for textures
files for models and animations
files for weapon specifications and other settings
these files with the same initial name, all in a folder with this name
put the folder in the appropriate weapons folder and the game automatically inserts NPCs, containers and merchants at startup in the spawn
the settings file should contain the various statistics such as weight and damage, etc., and... the rarity of the weapon, so that the game automatically makes the weapon appear often or not, or if only drops, merchants, or stashes.... etc.
all automatic, without merges/edits or anything else
its absurd that in 2024 there isn't even a game (not even those of Bethesda, which claims to be a pro-modding brand) with this simple and functional system (also obvious)

Подскажи пожалуйста, увидел в одном видосе, как обрез перезаряжается моментально, в каком конфиге править?
Hi, when I enter the text folder and then there is nothing in eg, the EN
G folder is empty, how can I get its content?
which is the line that control the recoil ? trying to make a pistol without recoil...
Is there a way to make only the created weapon have infinite ammo?
Hey man, do you know if the order of the weapon stats is strict or can you put any stat anywhere within the guns definition?
Generally I don’t think ordering matter
Can the weapon animation be replaced using this method?
Cant seem to find pkm zulus
