Hardcore Rules 2.0.2

Good catch. I just fixed this in the 2.0.2 release.

This error will happen if a mod adds an invalid item to a trader's inventory. Basically there's an invalid pointer used for the "properties" of the item(s) being sold.

To me it seems a little bit odd because before i start this profile everything was fine even with this trader installed. It just happened suddenly when i completed or received i certain quest from him i cant remember exactly. Like Dan said it maybe added a specific item to buy to his inventory after completing a specific quest which bricked him, i can remember that i completed a quest from him and then this all started.

I deleted my former reply because I missed the fact that hardcore rules weren't applied, after applying the hardcore rules to my profile it showed the same error. However, the barter economy mod shows the two "bad" trades, located at

user\mods\AAArtemEquipment\database\traders\ArtemTrader\assort.json

After deleting the lines for ARTEM_ROCKAHAT and ARTEM_ARTEMHAT my profile loaded fine.

Good catch! Thanks for sharing.

That worked for me didn't even knew about the barter mod so i have installed it 😊.

Tested on a new install (fika) and same result with the config set to what I usually use.

Perhaps something to do with "use_for_all_profiles": true, ? Maybe it doesn't account for the non vanilla profiles? I've only tested your Hardcore Playthrough profile (what I'm playing on) and the SPT easy start profile.

Edit: All the other features of the mod seem to work as normal by the way.

Are you actually seeing player offers or just trader offers in the flea market listings? I have it still be available to use, but it should prevent you from selling anything or buying from non-traders.

Seeing actual player offers, yes I always have it avaliable at level 1 but disabled.

Could you please load your "Hardcore Playthrough" profile, click around the flea market to generate a variety of player offers, and then send me your latest server log and your config.json? I'm not able to reproduce this, so I'm wondering if there's a conflict with another mod.

If you're using Fika, the hardcore ruleset should still be applied for all clients if you set use_for_all_profiles=true, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Thank you! I'll include this in the next release.

urw

Great idea! I just posted version 1.4.1 which includes an option for that.

awesome, thank you v much!!

I like the idea, but it's a bit outside of the scope of this mod as it deviates from the traditional hardcore ruleset variations. I'll consider it for future releases though. Thanks for the suggestion.

Sick!

The code finds any item that is a secure container, so new ones should be automatically included if they were created like BSG creates theirs. There is no secure container list.

Got it. It's just that I was allowed to place various items to secure containers that were not included in the whitelist, and initially assumed it's the pouch problem. It's the same for others it seems, tho.
My "Global" item array is empty, however.

Basically I have the following whitelist config:

"secureContainer": {
        "only_use_whitelists_in_this_mod": true,
        "ignored_secure_containers": [ "5c0a5a5986f77476aa30ae64", "5c0a794586f77461c458f892" ],
        "whitelist": {

                    "items": [

                    ]
                },
                "uninspected": { //same as inspected
                    "parents": [

    }

...but I could still put these items in secure container in hideout

Are you able to put those items in a normal EFT secure container?

Normal, as in, without the mod, or as in to another secure container which is not the pouch?

If the latter, - yes, I tried putting the same things in Alpha as well, same result

It looks like the ID you used for special items (54009119af1c881c07000029) is actually the ID for all items, so you effectively whitelisted everything. I changed it to the correct ID (5447e0e74bdc2d3c308b4567) and it started working correctly.

Nvm i figured your Mod has to load behind all custom trader Mods then it works fine. So i just had to change load order.

You can disable everything except that feature in config.json if you want. Alternatively, you can copy that part of the code and create your own mod. That change is pretty simple to do.

Thanks DanW! I noticed that this mod in general slows everything from UI to loading times for some reason. Im not sure if its just the mod constantly looking through whitelists or something else but its gotten too rough to use it for me personally.

Great mod though! Thanks again.

If you have a noticeable performance loss, something is wrong. Please check the game console for errors.

I'm not able to reproduce this. Another mod might be causing this problem.

I'm not sure, I've never tried.

You'll want to add the _tpl ID for the root weapon part (the receiver) to the traders.whitelist.items array. In this case, it's 5447a9cd4bdc2dbd208b4567 for M4A1. However, this will whitelist all M4A1 variants, not just this specific preset.

Ah, yes i know, exactly that is the problem, but i can live without the SOPMOD 1

Thank you for your mod and fast support.  

Those errors are likely occurring because this mod wipes out a lot of trader offers that Algorithmic Level Progression assumes are there. Unfortunately, I think this is something Algorithmic Level Progression needs to resolve, or we have to accept that these mods aren't compatible. Sorry.

As a test, you can use the following settings in config.json to see if the errors stop:

• traders.barters_only=false
• traders.whitelist_only=false

You are likely right as to the cause as this has fixed the issue. Many thanks. I'll just have to use willpower to not use the cash trades when things get frustrating.

Good luck! It might still be worth bringing it up in the Algorithmic Level Progression mod page in case it's an easy fix for them.

Are there any bot-progression mods that do work with hardcore rules?

Thanks @DanW Does it still pull modded guns for PMCs to use? id assume not?

I found out how what i'm doing wrong, when i look under flea market and see the traders barter there i can do the transaction

Are you sure you have the "fill items" checkbox checked? Otherwise I'm not sure what would cause this to happen. I've always been able to trade via the normal trading screen.

yea not a mod problem, my bad

Unfortunately, that would be a lot of work. Many of the changes this mod makes are done before loading your profile, so I would need to find alternate (more difficult) ways to do them.

ah no worries I was just curious if it was possible. I appreciate the reply.

Good catch! This is a sneaky bug. I was able to reproduce it, but I think it's based on time and not triggered by doing raids. I still need to dig through the SPT code more to see why it's happening in the first place.

I have a band-aid fix that might work for now. Would you mind testing it? https://github.com/dwesterwick…es/releases/tag/1.2.2-RC1. It worked for me, but I rarely have the game open for very long (the curse of mod development).

Thanks!

I will test the new version and report asap.

It seems to work.

I only saw a pack of ammo that I was able to buy with money after disabling the "operationnal only" box.

But it was the only exception so it doesn't matter.

Thanks for the quick fix and if I find something fonky tomorrow, I'll report it.

I had a suspicion that you might see one search result per hour that has cash offers, so it sounds like that might be happening. I have an idea to fix that, so I'll give it a shot later tonight and let you know.

Thanks for your help!

Alright, I think I actually fixed it this time. Could you please let me know if this version works for you? https://github.com/dwesterwick…es/releases/tag/1.2.2-RC2

Since this is a minor issue, I'll likely wait until SPT-AKI 3.7.1 is out, and then I'll include this in my updated release for that.

Thanks!

Have you tried using just this mod by itself?

If you have and it's still happening, can you please upload BepInEx\LogOutput.log immediately after reproducing the problem?

i already figured it out, in the words of our famous scav; ''im dumb as a brick''

i had the version for 3.6.0 installed while im on 3.5.8.

I have the right version now and started a new playthrough, definitely a challenge!

i havent explored to far into this mod yet, so idk if its already a feature, but a cool feature would be that you can sell offers on the flea market, but just for barters, and depending on the value of said item youre selling and the item(s) you want for it the chance of a succesful trade will go up

Glad you figured it out! In fairness, I should really start adding minimum-version checks.

Right now the flea market is all-or-nothing in this mod, but I could probably add a barter-only option in the future. I'll have to do a little experimentation to figure out how to prevent players from listing items for dollars. To be honest though, I have a lot of other stuff going on at the moment, so this probably won't happen for a while.

I haven't tried, but I'm not aware of any incompatibilities. If you try it and find any issues, feel free to let me know, and I can look into them.

I checked out the Captain mod, and this is a pretty simple fix. I'll post a new version soon.

I didn't see any offers with barters_only=true, but I assume you were working on adding barter offers for that mod.

This should be fixed in the 1.1.6 release. I'll have limited availability for the next few days, so if you find any other compatibility issues, I'll try to fix them later next week.

Have fun!

hey man thank you so much!!!

Howdy! I just tested this and was able to recreate the bug. Sorry about that!

I'm not quite sure why it's happening, so I'll need some time to troubleshoot it.

Glad you're enjoying the hardcore playthrough otherwise!

I just published a new version that should hopefully fix this. I tested it with cash, and it works both in-game and in my stash. Previously, it didn't work for either. Please let me know if you find any other issues.

Thanks for letting me know, I'll look into it.

I see the problem... my own field naming confused me. I flipped the logic for more_restrictions and restrict_whitelisted_items when I moved the code to a bepinex plugin. Honestly they're pretty bad names anyway, so I'll change them. I should have this fixed in the next 30 min. In the meantime, you can set more_restrictions to false instead of restrict_whitelisted_items.

Sorry about that!

No problem at all. I know modding can get confusing sometimes. Fantastic that you could get on fixing it so quickly.

Just released a new version to fix it. Please let me know if I made any other stupid mistakes!

Do you mean having hardcore locked to one profile and automatically disabled for others? Unfortunately, I probably can't do that because the server loads the database files (along with all of my changes) before it loads profiles. I haven't found a way to change anything in the database after a profile is loaded.

As a quick way to toggle between hardcore and normal modes, you can change the "enabled" flag at the top of config.json. If you change it to "false", all hardcore changes will be reverted so you can play the game normally. It will even reset your Scav timer! Basically all you have to do is make that one change and restart the server.

Glad you like the mod so far.

Yeah just like you would select EoD or Standard edition. Would be a nice addition with this as an option

Ah, I gotcha. You can create a "Zero to Hero" profile, which is basically a hardcore profile plus a knife.

I like that idea, I'll see what I can do for the next release.

That's why I left post-raid healing disabled by default... I wanted a hardcore playthrough, but I found that was a little TOO hardcore!
