The stand-alone mod S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly aims to be the most stable and customizable experience for fans of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. It's powered by the Monolith 64-bit engine, a custom fork of the X-Ray engine.

Description

Works with anomaly 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 Introducing Anomaly Mod Configuration Menu ( MCM ). A centralized place for mods to put their configuration options. Updating is always recommended. MCM 1.6.0 adds basic minecraft like key binding. 1.6.4 fixes a bug with double tap keybinds. for real This version also adds a logging utility, session ID tracking, and a fix that should stop badly configured settings entries from flaking out in odd ways and confusing the end user. Russain translation is a, probably horrible, machine translation. If the English is bad that is 100% the fault of the USA public educational system. full change log linked below. keywords for searches because maybe tags don't work: mcm, amcm, mod configuration

By it self nothing.

when installed with another mod that uses it, MCM provides that mod with a place to put a options screen, a configuration menu if you will. ...for mods. .. a Mod Configuration Menu.

Update. With help from Pepsifan04 who added lots of QoL enhancements to Mad Mags, this MCM makes 100% sense if you want to have a configurable addon.

Alongside Solarint's sounds mod, BAS, and Trader's Overhaul, this is rising to become one of those ubiquitous addons for Anomaly, that maybe should be in the game's core code, eventually.

10/10.

This is sort of a library other mods use to display settings or configuration options. It provides a menu for this on the main menu screen. It provides other Mods a Configuration Menu. :)

This addon is only for Anomaly 1.5.1 you either have anomaly 1.5.0 beta, or some addon has replaced the 1.5.1 _g.script with the one from 1.5.0 beta or earlier.

Thank you.

I am amazed at the impact that something as simple as giving addons their own space for options has had. Because it has to be that idea and the invocation of the MCM name, that has cause this addon to have the impact it has had.
Code wise MCM is 90+% a copy paste of anomaly's ui_options script, the beautiful ui and the method for extending it are all Tronex. All i do is make it slightly easier for addons to access it and give them their own spot.

Yeah, it is really funny how people dismiss simple solutions with 100 and one excuse: "It is not needed or it would already exist", "It is too simple", "People won't use it" etc.

And once you create it, it fits in like a perfect puzzle peace. :)

I really hope that MCM will become a standard!

A weird thing, searching MCM in "addons" doesn't give any result (not even this page).

Otherwise, this looks awesome, so good that it deserves to become part of Anomaly.

hmmm. MCM in caps has always been one of the tags and was added to the name for that reason. i have just added lower case entries to the tags, and description.

I don't think it will become part of anomaly for two reasons. First the anomaly devs don't want to be responsible for issues cause by addons and giving addons their own space like this might undercut that.
Second an anomaly dev has pointed out multiple times that amcm doesn't actually add anything to anomaly.
Up until this last update this was 100% true, and is still 99% true. AMCM is actually a repackage of the anomaly options system. It is completely possible to add options to the anomaly options ui without editing any of the core anomaly scripts. It just isn't simple or obvious.

I just make it simple(simpler at least) and obvious.

That viewpoint while technically correct does miss one thing however. By existing MCM has created the expectation in addon users that addons have simple in game configuration options and this has [in my not so humble :) opinion] resulted in considerable improvement to the quality of the addons available for anomaly.

How does JSGME compare to MCM? Can both be used simultaneously?

Reply Good karma Bad karma+2 votes
ravenascendant Author
ravenascendant - - 1,098 comments

JSGME is an addon/mod manager, a very basic one.
MCM is an addon. MCM can be installed by any addon/mod manager.

I personally recommend using MO2 as an addon manager with all of my addons. While MCM does not, many of my addons are setup to have simple installers when installed via MO2. Additionally it is easier for me to identify the cause of conflicts with my addons if you are using MO2, due to MO2's advanced diagnostic information. Guide: Anomalymodding.blogspot.com

stops working completely or all the text turns to odd_strings_with_lots_of_underscores?

If it is the second
gamedata/configs/text/eng
translate all those files to portuguese and i will add them, but that will only cover the Core of MCM itself. I can't make translation strings for every one else.

But can I get rid of art in the main menu? I am using live wallpapers there, basically a video from Pripyat that was shot from a drone or whatever, it's really cool. So I want to know if there's a possibility to remove an art from your mod.

I tried this with my personal main menu mod, but the animated background won't show up. It's just a black screen; and the buttons look like a glitching skybox.

<w>
<background x="0" y="0" width="1024" height="768">
<auto_static x="0" y="0" width="1024" height="768" stretch="1">
</auto_static>

</background>

What did I do wrong?

I don't know about the buttons but you deleted the line in the first auto static that loads the background.

<texture x="0" y="0" width="1280" height="768">ui\ui_actor_main_menu</texture>

that part loads the background image. if you put your image inplace of the orginal leave that as is. or you can change ui\ui_actor_main_menu to point to your texture instead.

looks like WPO has a bad options table. I think you can fix it by updating from Arti's github.

Reply Good karma+1 vote

ravenascendant - - 1,098 comments

To be clear, WPO has had this problem for months and it has probably ment that at least the setting in question hasn't actually been working. Just no one noticed.

In other cases bad option tables have caused random crashes or other odd behavior that was very very very hard to trace to a cause.

what I did to fix it was in the WPO file "a_arti_jamming_mcm.script" change line 39, from "{id = "fun", type = "list", c {0,"no"} , {1,"yes"}, {2,"ofc"}}, def=0},"
to "{id = "fun", type = "list", val = 2, c {0,"no"} , {1,"yes"}, {2,"ofc"}}, def=0},"

Using the Github version actually caused me a different crash...

have you reported that crash to Arti?

Valley_of_Snow - - 39 comments

I believe this crash is something that results from updating to the ModDB/github version due to a leftover script file that will not get replaced during the process, called "arti_jamming_mcm.script". Deleting this file and replacing it with the new file "a_arti_jamming_mcm.script" from the github stops this crash error from appearing:

Expression : <no expression>
Function : CScriptEngine::lua_error
File : ..\xrServerEntities\script_engine.cpp
Line : 191
Description : fatal error
Arguments : LUA error: c:/Anomaly\gamedata\scripts\ui_mcm.script:222: val is manditory! option path:wpo/fun

stack trace:

Update: Forgot to mention, the github release is missing several script files and potentially other things required to work. Be sure to install the WPO file from the ModDB page first, then the updated WPO file from the github. This solves additional crashes that may occur.
