Better Spawns Variety 1.1.4c

Please do not ask when mod authors will update their mods to 3.9.X
Bothering mod authors will lead to warnings and repeat offenses will lead to eventual bans.

Ever want spawns different from the normal game? Want random events like all bosses, only pmcs, raiders on every map but not knowing what was loaded? Want to sh*t yourself at any given moment? This mod is for you.

***Absolutely REQUIRES>> Better Spawns Plus 1.1.4 <<Click here for required mod***




===================================================


-What does this mod do?



This mod is an addon for the great Better Spawns Plus by PreyToLive. BSP Variety adds almost 150 spawn patterns for thousands of raid possibilities. I've made the presets so that ANY bot can spawn in ANY zone. You can see Sanitar at weather station or Reshala at Crossroads.


Very easy to use, install and the server does the rest. In between raids the patterns will be chosen at random, nothing to open, nothing to configure. Install and play.


===================================================


-Features

  • Increased spawns over vanilla EFT.
  • Highly configurable.
  • Very easy to install.
  • Complete variety, you will not know or be notified which pattern was loaded (unless you check the server of course)
  • Works with nearly every mod on the hub.
  • Full raids with AI spawning IMMEDIATELY at the start of each raid. Youll hear battles right next to you and in the distance.


===================================================


-Highly Recommended Mods

  • SAIN (adjusts the mechanics of bots such as taking cover, blind firing, healing around corners, pushing your player character like online.
  • Big Brain (the mod SAIN relies on)
  • Waypoints (bots will now traverse across the entire map)
  • Looting bots (bots will loot containers and bodies)

===================================================



-The patterns (changes randomly in between raids)



Online - All the Boss spawn chances are the same as online (24% as of 3/13/23)


2x Bosses - Take your online chance to see a Boss and double it!


100 bosses - This one should be easy to figure out


Bloodbath - More PMCs, More Raiders, and The Goons combined into one config.


Bloodhounds - They're comin to get ya


Boss Variety - Ever want every boss and his followers on one map all at once? You're sick.


Deja Vu - You again?


Dead Raid - Where is everybody?


Glukhar Takes Over - Gluhkar and his gang sent the other bosses packing.


Killa and Tagilla - 100% chance Killa and Tagilla roam Tarkov freely. All normal Bosses are dismissed.


More PMCs - Reinforcements have arrived.


More Raiders - Bring a good set of armor and a big bag for all the sweet, sweet, loot, if you can make it out.


Pandemonium - Deja Vu, Cultists 100, Bloodbath, Bloodhounds, and Rogues on every map, combined into one config. A shit show.


Rogues - Rogues on EVERY map. 100% Guaranteed spawn rate.


Scavlands - A lot more Scavs on each map (excluding LABS).


Snipers and Raiders - Watch the skies, traveler.


The Goons - The Goons are now on every map and they aren't any easier.


Only Bosses - Every boss on every map, nothing else. No PMCs, no Scavs. Just wave after wave of bosses. Good luck!


Weird Scavs - Removed regular scavs from spawning, only Weird Scavs from recent pre-wipe event will spawn.


Horde Mode - A pattern specifically for Factory that spawns hundreds of Scavs. Max is 15 bots at once to keep performance good. If you want to only have this pattern or shut it off completely see the pinned comment in the comments section

  • when will this be updated? BSP is updated and this is one of my favorite mods.

    • as soon as I can. I'm in a different country and I don't have my computer.


      I may try to update the mod without having access to test.

    • I would honestly wait until 3.8 releases its pretty much almost out

  • Any idea when update? I read your message sent on thursday and am just wondering if there is any progress so far.

  • Will 3.7 be updated?

    • yes im waiting for PTL to update BSP.

    • Betterspawnplus has been updated, pls update <3

    • I will update soon. I'm away from my computer by several hundred miles. If anyone wants to test the update pls message me.

  • for some reason it is not allowing me to join a raid it just loads a blank screen

    • post server log

    • after fiddling around with it more I got it to work

    • for some reason with horde mode I don't think the enemies are capped at 15

    • in the current version there is no botcap enabled.


      you can set the bot cap in:


      mods\PreyToLive-BetterSpawnsPlus\config\presets\ONLY_SPAWN_CHANGES_LIVELIKETARKOV.




      "otherOptions": {
              "enabled": true, make sure this is set to true.
              "consoleLogs": false,
              "misc": {
                  "replaceLauncherBackground": false,
                  "replaceTradersProfilePics": false
      },
              "maxBotCap": {
                  "enabled": true, also this needs to be set to true

    • I have enabled both of these settings but for some reason even after multiple raids there is still more than 15 bots

  • thank you so much for this

    err...

    • i've never seen that error... and I have no idea what it means.


      it looks like something related to the game itself? im not sure at all.

  • How can I fix this


    https://prnt.sc/A0CsQZvi3zW1


    one question do we change the Server Values MOD on bots options?

    • this?


      Mod: BetterSpawnsPlus failed to load a spawn preset from "config.json" for location [customs]

      >reverted location [customs] to default sp-tarkov spawn waves


      To get past this, I used the spawn generator system so different presets are used each raid. Sometimes you'll see someone at this spot, sometimes you wont, you also wont know who its gonna be. as you can see here, the generator loaded Boss Variety for customs


      > [customs]

      > loaded spawn generator preset file: "Boss Variety.json"

      > added spawn waves:

      > bears: 12, usecs: 26, scavs: 48, sniper scavs: 8

      > bosses; 8, culists: 1, raiders: 0, rogues: 0

      >bloodhounds: 0, weird scavs: 0


      tldr; it isnt an error.

    • Oh I understand but sometimes some raids feel empty is that normal?

    • Usually that isn't normal. There is a dead raid preset to throw in some variety but that is weighted really low.


      Which other mods do you use?

    • I use https://prnt.sc/Vggy2vbWOKp5

      and https://prnt.sc/dkIcSbtgbyWH

    • something is up with the newest version. please use the old version, ive deleted the bad one.


      for me it wasnt loading the patterns, but 1.1.4c works as normal.

  • Man, I just think Pandemonium should be a real ground war without heavy weapons during my playing.

    What a mess, but have so much fun.

  • hey bud having issues with the download link again

    • idk??


      i just tried it for the new version and the old and it worked for me? any preferred host other than google drive?

    • The server log you posted is normal friend.


      1. pls read the overview page


      2. Weird scavs faction (the ones with Obdolbos) were added in 1.14 which this mod includes. Version 1.13 didnt have those. So if my presets didnt include that faction (which they do) then it wouldnt be compatible.


      3. You didnt read the overview page so you dont know how to interpret the server logs.



      This mod uses the spawn generator, not the presets. This is for randomness and different factions across all maps, such as having all the bosses at once or Rogues on Customs, for example.



      Red text is saying the presets are not found, the blue text says it loaded a spawn generator preset.



      The mod works great and as advertised friend.

  • Air drops are no longer working.

    • this mod doesnt touch airdrops unless you altered the config.


      having said that, I get airdrops in my raids.

      Thumbs Up 1

    • Might that include increasing the drop rate?

    • I havent messed with that part personally..

      I'll see if I get the same results as you on my end, what did you increase the drop rate to?


      if it causes issues though you could change this back to false and use SVM to alter the rates?


    • I changed them all to 100% however, I just now re-dropped your raw folder back in and I'm going to give it a few runs... I'll keep you posted.

    • I changed it to 100% on a night Customs raid and got an airdrop around 3 and 1/2 minutes into the match.


      let me know what happens, we'll get it figured out.

  • How do I select a specific pattern? Like If I wanted to do Only Bosses over and over again. How could I do that? Also is it normal for the mod to not have any settings in the F12 Menu? Sorry for asking stupid questions lmao.

    • Go to user\mods\PreyToLive-BetterSpawnsPlus\config\presets\ONLY_SPAWN_CHANGES_LIKELIVETARKOV.json and open it in VsCodium or Notepad++




      change all the weights to 0 (zero) except for Only Bosses leave that at 1 (one).


      Dont forget to save the file.


      Youll have to do this for each maps' presets.

    • Thank you!

    • I missed the F12 question. as far as I know that menu is only for BepinEx plugins.

  • allot of bots wiggle left and right while shooting it doesnt look intendended... but im not sure are you aware of such issue ?

    • i think that is SAIN


      I know what you mean, they look like people playing PUBG

  • "file is in owner's trash" :(

    • You didn't download newest version. New version 1.1.4c is what to use.


      I'll delete the old version off this page.

  • and how to configure it to have one preset?

    • like this


      go to D:\3.6.1\user\mods\PreyToLive-BetterSpawnsPlus\config\presets\ONLY_SPAWN_CHANGES_LIKELIVETARKOV.json

  • I'll be doing my regular testing, If I find anything weird I'll hit you up!
    hopefully, boss variety goes well now ahah

    • 1st issue encoutered Bloodhound on custom ( havent verified the others)
      https://prnt.sc/rbwHAZtge100

      Seems to be turned off on the spawn config.
      (no clue if Intended)

    • nah that should be set to true.

    • Got a quick recommendation for ya, for the bloodhound preset

      https://prnt.sc/6V8VimjXd0y0
      most map has about 1 to 6 bloodhound MAX, the pandemonium has 16+, You could replace half the pmc and 1/4th of the scav with bloodhound or even all pmc for bloodhound to make it fill like a "different raid" other wise it just feel as online with a few bloodhound

    • pretty sure the pandemonium bloodhound settings are 1 waves of 4 except for customs.


      I did consider making a bloodhound heavy preset, im working on a couple things so ill add that to the list.

    • The only issue with bloodhound on my end they seem to not have "good loot" they always have the same thing and not really anything u want so maybe outside of the quest they are not "worth"

  • Hey, I just installed the mod, reinstalled BSP To make sure it wasnt that, but the issue isn't fixed. It seems that on boss variety, only 1 boss spawns, and on bloodhounds (on factory atleast) the bloodhounds nor bots spawn. Is this normal?i3cNRLzujSmU54F26

    • I will check into this.

      Thumbs Up 1

    • It also seems for the bloodhounds preset on customs, it doesn't have a bloodhounds spawn (it says zero)

    • Oh, and sometimes I get this error aswell, maybe this will help. https://photos.app.goo.gl/jMtbJZ1Fh3ZVApLm9

    • the deja vu error on LABS means you dont have that preset in your presets folder but the config is looking for it.

    • I installed latest version of BSV Is there any reason that wouldnt be there?

  • Thanks for the update. Can we ask what happened to the older versions?

    • i removed them because I was running out of space on Google Drive. I think I still have them on a HDD though if anyone would like them.

  • I might just be blind, is there a way to know which preset has been applied to the raid? (like a debug menu or something)

    • Yea look for this once you start the game and have gotten to the main menu.




      the red text can be ignored. it just means there weren't any presets found in the main generator. This mod uses the Spawn Generator to load presets.

    • Thanks for the reply mate really appreciate it!

      Thumbs Up 1

    • So Exemple I got Dead Raid inside of customs.

      https://prnt.sc/SlqC6S6COnt0

      Then yet there still 9 bear, 21 usec and 46 scav?

    • i actually noticed that myself the other night. I plan on tuning a cpl presets to reduce the amount of bots. I'll do that today after work and have an update this evening.

    • ahah thanks a lot, cause I can tell you it wasn't a dead raid haha

  • Hi, presets like scavland doesn't exist on 1.1.3 ?

    • All the same presets from before. So yes, Scavlands is on there still.

    • Why there is no presets on the 1.1.3 variety folder ?

    • They're there.


      PreyToLive-BetterSpawnsPlus\db\locations\customs\spawnGenerator\presets\ thats the path for the customs presets for example.

      Thumbs Up 1

    • That dont work ... I tried to replace all the original presets by Scavlands and rename them the original name, still practically no scavs ... Conflict with Realism mod ?

    • I'm not sure what youre saying.


      it was no presets in the folder


      now its replacing all the presets by scavlands and renaming them?


      what do you mean renamed the original name?

  • im having a total brain fart and just struggling to think of how to get the "All boss variety" present to actually be the present that is used

    • update, it seems like the presets in the main config file just dont show the better spawn variety ones

    • go to somedisk:\3.5.8\user\mods\PreyToLive-BetterspawnsPlus\config\presets\ONLY_SPAWN_CHANGES_LIVELIKETARKOV.json open with vscodium or notepad++


      look for this



      change the 1 after Boss Variety to a 5 to make it more frequent. You can change the others preset weights to 0 to disable them completely.



      Dont forget to save the file. AFAIK you dont even have to leave the game to change this weight. Thank you PTL.

    • OH DAMN THANK YOU

  • Thank you for updating this! This variety mod is a must for anyone using BSP!!!

  • Will this be updated to work with the latest BSP version for 3.5.8? This variety mod for BSP is a must have for me!

    • it works with 3.5.8 on my end.

      Heart 1

    • NO WAY! Honestly didn't bother trying as the mod page said old preset configs wouldn't work with the latest version.. Thank you so much! Everything is perfect again 8)

  • Is there any chance there can be a difficulty preset added to these so we can have them as easy, Medium or hard? I installed this and just go instantly dropped no matter what

  • а будет работать с 3.5.7
