Stalker_GAMMA VS STALKER-Anomaly-modded-exes

Seems most people in the thread got the bases covered, so I'll recommend S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly, it's free and while the base game is quite enjoyable there are two big modpacks called EFP (Escape From Pripyat) and GAMMA (requires you to join the discord for access though, yuck). EFP places emphasis on faction combat and building up your loadout while the creepy Zone stuff sort of takes the backseat. I have yet to play GAMMA but from my understanding in comparison to EFP it feels more like the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. experience but with stronger emphasis on survival and scavenging mechanics.

GAMMA modpack. Reinstall some of the texture mods with different configs using the discord's guide if you want a less dead looking zone (I think it looks good though, personally). Crank up ZCP's population sliders (particularly for stalkers) for a really nicely populated zone with a lot of action. Crank those grass settings up too, I've been half tempted to upgrade from a 1070ti just so my Zone doesn't have such anemic grass...

I need help. I got this error message when I attempt to launch Anomaly with New Level Addon via MO2. I already install the things that is essential for the addon (such as: https://github.com/themrdemonized/STALKER-Anomaly-modded-exes along with C+) so I am not sure what's the error message indicate. What does this mean? Thanks.

You need modified exes https://github.com/themrdemonized/STALKER-Anomaly-modded-exes

You will need the modded exes installed (manually, not through MO2, physically overwrite everything in the anomaly directory (which is what I'm assuming you're playing here.)

Now, first things first: We need to Install DLTX, and we need to do it manually. Just go to this link here: https://github.com/themrdemonized/STALKER-Anomaly-modded-exes and follow the instructions shown in the screenshots. It's really pretty simple, you're just Drag&Dropping files from the .zip you download into your Anomaly folder, then clicking 'Overwrite All' on the Pop-up.

Before getting this error I added a few mods (EFT Reposition, BaS, Dots and Reticles for BaS, Pretty Pistols Pack, and some EXE's that have multiple mod compatibility (added these first to my game files and ran Anomaly to make sure the EXE's themselves wouldn't break the game before loading the others into MO2, ran and loaded into a save just fine).

If you are using version 1.5.2 of anomaly; you will need to install the STALKER-Anomaly-modded-exes files. Read the install instructions.

The problem seen to be with "Ammo maker", it need DLTX for it to function, in the Ammo maker mod page description there is a link to download DLTX.

Also consider getting the modded exes which come with some good tweaks of their own and are required to run any DLTX mods which help with conflict resolutions.
