### Known issues:

Issue:

Infinite loading circle after completing/accepting any quest forcing you to restart after each ACCEPT/COMPLETE action with quests.


Possible cause:

This is a know BSG issue that happens in Live also: https://forum.escapefromtarkov…o-restart-my-game/page/2/ It is caused by one of active Started quests being in invalid state. Supposedly this may occur when you have 2 or more quests getting completed at the same time, for example if you are trying to complete quests "Colleagues - Part 1", "Anesthesia" and "Rigged game" during the same raid it may (not 100% guarantied) bug out one of these quests. Obviously, the more quests you have, the more likely you may encounter this issue.


Workaround:

You need to edit your profile, go to "characters"->"pmc"->"Quests" and delete records for quests where "status": "Started" - that unfortunately will cause you to lose some progress on these quests, but should resolve this issue. Leave quests with other statuses as is, especially where "status": "Success". Be sure to backup your profile before editing!



### Roadmap

You can track progress and plans for my mods here: https://trello.com/b/12O0q28P/andrudis-aki-mods-roadmap

I can neither provide any ETA nor promise 100% of backlog will be implemented, but tasks that got into ToDo list at least will be attempted,

  • Version 1.1.1

    Changes in v1.1.1 from v1.1.0


    Compatibility: SPT-AKI 2.0.*

    Updates from 1.1.0 are fully compatible, update from earlier versions will require wipe


    ###hotfix:

    * Weapon Proficiency - magazines were not unlocked with Barter quests correctly


    Note: If you are upgrading from 1.1.0 you only need to replace the following folders:

    \Andrudis-QuestManiac\db\TradersAssort\

    \Andrudis-QuestManiac\db\QuestBundles\Weapon Proficiency\

    The rest of mod content is identical. Just restart server after replacing these 2 folders and you should see magazines if you already completed any Weapon Proficiency Barter Quests

  • Important note about possible future of this mod.


    Due to Russian Federation invasion in Ukraine I will not be able to continue support and development of this mod. Martial Law is in effect in Ukraine from 12am February 24th local time .

    This mean the following:

    1) All future support and development for QoL Configurator and Quest Maniac mods will be discontinued from my side.

    2) All existing downloads will remain active for as long as site owners will see fit and my Dropbox account will remain active.

    3) Anyone willing to take over future support for these mods are free to do so.

    4) I will not be available for communication by any means any more - either because of internet shutdown or because I will spend all available time taking care of my family and providing assistance to hospitals and shelters.

    5) Regardless of scale, duration and outcome of invasion most likely I will not return to EFT even after the end of armed conflict.

    • i'm getting this kind of error, does anyone know

  • please update me boiii

  • It says the mod is outdated, will it still work as of now? Or is it too broken to use?

    • Hi!


      This original mod is outdated. It is compatible with SPT-AKI versions 2.2.* but will not work with any later versions.

      For updated version please see: Andrudis QuestManiac for 3.2 - it should be compatible with the latest SPT-AKI version 3.2.*


      PS: please don't forget to thank LaurentMEKKA for keeping this mod alive

  • Does anyone now how to update this to the lastest build or could tell me how to do it? This mod is THE reason I play tarkov, without it, there is no point.

  • getting a ton of error messages on the latest aki patch. they are as follows

    This repeats itself indefinetly, any ideas on how to fix this?

    • Sorry, have not idea what was changed in the last SPT-AKI version - probably something changes in traders' configuration format.

    • its related to default trader restock, I added the traders on Ereshkigal aki configurator and the error vanished.

    • Vnyxz, mind explaining in greater detail about how you fixed it?

    • 3600s is 1h, this is the "restock" time for each trader, since I haven't exactly found how to set this in the traders files, there's an option on AKI configurator that let's you edit or add restock time for each traders, mine looks something like this:

      config

    • thank you for this explanation and picture. copied your config and the errors went away.

  • Does anyone know if this works on 2.3.0 or if anyone else has picked it up to update it?

  • why are all the traders locked? how do i unlock them?

  • 4000 quests !


    This is so amazing, nice job !


    FYI: I've integrated the QuestManiac traders in the latest version of Path To Tarkov

    If I install the previous version of this mod, there are no errors aside from the compatibility warning. Let me know if you need any other details.


    Thanks,

    • Figured out the issue. I renamed your mod folder to include the version number at the end. Removing the added version number fixed the issue.

  • I love this mod,and could u plz add Chinese 8o

    • Hi! I do not know Chinese.

      All localizations were done by someone else. There are localization files in mod at \Locales\*.json

      If you can translate templates at ch.json - send me updated file and I'll generate localization based on that translation

    • can i repost it in the CN bbs?And i'll indicate the source link. :)

    • Sure

  • Heyo, to update for compatility 2.2.1 from 2.2.0 are there certain folders i can transfer without wiping?

    • Hi! If you do not need GE localization - package.json file should be enough.

  • HI :)

    Is there a way to remove the base game traders and their quests from the game ? would love to play your trader quest mod without base game traders.

    • Hi!

      Base game traders also take part in this mod:


      Peacekeeper - Hideout Assistance quests

      Skier - all Customs-related quests

      Ragman - all Interchange-related quests

      Jaeger - all Woods-related quests

      Mechanic - all Factory-related quests

      Fence - Gunsmith Assistant and general versions of map-specific quests


      If these trader did not exist in vanilla, I would have to add them myself.

      You may switch these vanilla traders to barter only mode in config so they would not spoil progression.

      As for vanilla quests - I can add option to remove them in future versions of the mod, or you can do it manually by removing content of \Aki_Data\Server\database\templates\quests.json, just leave 2 brackets inside file like this: '{ }', Warning: removing quests from the game that you have already accepted may corrupt your profile unless you remove all references to that quest from your profile also.

    • thank you very much for your answer :) will do that.

  • Is there a way outside the fence and flea market to buy weapon parts and mods?

    • Nope, FM is the best bet to get prepared for end-game challenges

    • Sounds good, I like that you have to scavenge for parts especially with your qol mod active, but I didn't know if my game was bugged and not showing them. Thanks

  • Hi mate, great update) How can i disable non-quest discounts from traders? i have some items from start (helmets from bashkir, rigs from elder etc), but i dont like it at all, i want only quest items for ZeroToHero experience)

    • Hi!

      Could you please clarify what issues do you have?

    • https://i.imgur.com/sBLHcMO.png

      This one, i want to delete this items from trading, i need only quest-unlockable items.

    • All trades on new traders are quest-unlockable.

      If you see all trades before doing quests to unlock them - you need to check if you have "AllTradesAvailableFromStart" enabled in configs.


      if you see only some items - then either mod's installation or your profile is inconsistent.

      If you did not start fresh profile with SPT-AKI 2.2.0 and carried over quests progression from 2.1.2 - that may be cause of an issue too.

      Overall, trade assorts for each trader are listed here:

      \Andrudis-QuestManiac\db\TradersAssort\<Trader_ID>\assort.json

      and which trade is locked by which quest is listed here:

      \Andrudis-QuestManiac\db\TradersAssort\<Trader_ID>\questassort.json

      There could be 2 possible issues:

      1) Either you have assort.json and questassort.json from the different mod versions

      or

      2) in your profile some quests are already marked as completed

      In both cases that is why you can see only some trades unlocked from the start.


      Hope this helps.

    • Like before, i installed fresh AQManiac, made new account

      http://prntscr.com/26qwvbk - my mods.
      I cleaned every quest bundle for "science"- http://prntscr.com/26qx1o2

      config settings - http://prntscr.com/26qxyls
      Still have barter and trade items from start.

      so i dont think its normal)

  • Hi Andrudis,

    It would be great if some sort of Hardcore Mode was added that gave the quests more challenge. For example, the weapons after be unlocked in their most barebones version instead of the "space trooper" that is unlocked halfway through the mod. Eliminating bosses for every gun unlock quest would be a good direction to go for unlocking the purchasing of weapons (even pistols). A separate magazine unlocking quest would also be nice if that is possible as the game gets way harder if you can't shoot (a harder version of the current system would also be great!). My last suggestion to make the game a little harder in this mode would be to add more simultaneous conditionals for unlocking items that are good such as the m4 as this is too easy to unlock. I understand that is is going wayyy to the back of the backlog as I am asking a lot of you, but this mod makes SPT.

    Thank you for developing this great mod,

    Nixon

    Thanks 1

    • Hi! Thanks for feedback!

      There are several points I would like to highlight separately:

      1) about too modded weapons like "space trooper" - currently I take weapon presets from ragfair default database - something with the most mods just to be sure that resulting weapon will be usable in the end. For some weapons this results in too advanced modded versions. To fix this I will either need to manually implement and maintain presets for each of about 100 weapons (I really do not want to waste 100h on this) or find a better way to do it with minimum manual intervention. I have this in plans, and have several ideas to try, but this is still in R&D phase with more R=Research then D=Development.

      2) Multi-conditional quests - I've tried such quests earlier and they work poorly on practice. First - is you have multiple handover conditions, even if you have some conditions fully completed, items for these conditions will still be highlighted with yellow checkmark until whole quest is complete - this make it very confusing which items do you actually need and lead to too many micro-management where you have to spend more time moving items in stash and checking quest conditions, then running raids. That is why I've scrapped most multi-conditional quests in favor of chained quests with single condition each - they work much better, but require reasonable complexity curve.

      3) Currently unlocking all guns and gear - is less then a half of all core quests. Final intended goal - reach level 100 by completing quests only (without XP from any other sources) and that would require to complete about 90%+ of all core and or/all vanilla quests. I doubt anyone actually has reached that goal in time span between major version updates. My current primary goal is to make smooth and interesting progression with core bundles, but I am open for ideas for additional high-challenge bundles as optional addition. That us how Sniper Bundle was added - one of players came up with idea for this bundle several months ago to create an additional challenge and at some point I was able to finalize vision for this bundle and implement it.

      4) I am also trying to eliminate quests with duplicating conditions. There are already quests to eliminate each boss with most guns(Veteran and Elite tier), maybe I will return bosses elimination with Rookie and Seasoned guns as optional bundle, but hunting Killa with PM(t) - not sure it would be fun

      5) If you can provide an example of hardcore progression - that could help: what the progression should looks like? What should be the final goal for hardcore playthrough? etc.

    • Hi Andrudis,


      One suggestion to fix the ragfair would be to ask Fershte if you could use the prebuilt weapons in his vendor mods as a substitute to the vanilla ragfair, if he agrees and you agree, it would save many hours.

      The next response is your choice, and I respect that and it won't change my enjoyability playing the mod as it is purely a design choice.

      For response number 3, I suppose another level of weapon masteries would add greater challenge along with a bundle that unlocks attachments as barter only mode limits attachments to only in-game finds. So a bundle of attachment quests will add time plus difficulty to the mod and I'd assume it would progress like all the other bundles such as handing in X number of foregrips for the next best foregrip(s). Keeping with the core only theme, there could be expanded upon quests like the ones Jaeger gives out for hunting bosses and doing difficult tasks like surviving a raid on every map.

      For number 4, I understand where you are coming from with this one. Not everyone sweats their ass off in SPT.

      And finally for Number 5, Hardcore progression would be slower and more painful to get to better items and it would require more skill to get to the next tier of weapon, so instead of just killing scavs for a quest, its killing raiders, and instead of raiders, rogues and so on. It would not involve more time per say, but instead more know-how and skill. Another example would be starting with no alpha container and having to earn it though quests (same with the beta container). Higher prices in trader assorts or lower prices things are sold at. The final goal at the end would obtain the GL that is in the game through killing every boss 15 times (rough idea).

      TL:DR, the hardcore experience wouldn't be longer, but instead more difficult through forcing the player to play on more difficult maps I.e. reserve and labs and also boss hunting.

      And as a final note, I did finish the entire core questline on the 12.10 update for SPT.


      Thank you again,

      Nixon

    • Thank you for extended feedback. I will keep in in mind for my future updates of this mod!

  • Really looking forward to the 2.20 update, not the same without this mod.

  • Could you give all the quests 0.1 rep for the traders ? some of them have it, others only have xp rewards. I want to raise my rep doing kill tasks, i don't like the over complicated quest system in tarkov, i only do the ones that unlock guns and armor.

  • Hi,


    first of all, thanks for this awesome mod! I love it and it gives me a fresh kick after completing all the vanilla quests for x-times...


    I would like to know if its possible to disable all vanilla traders and only play your taskline with your traders? I want a new challange and dont want to see the vanilla traders anymore ;)


    Thanks!

    Thanks 1

    • Disabling vanilla traders is possible, but will require solving several problems:

      1) This mod uses vanilla traders actively, because in EFT lore there is 1 trader for each 1 location planned by BSG and Fence is an extra one trader for non-location specific quests. Skier - Customs, Mechanic - Factory, Jaeger - Woods, Ragman - Interchange. So first it will require to move all my quests for these locations to some other traders.

      2) I am not sure you can just delete trader's folders from SPT-AKI without issues, probably you will need to remove traders during mods loading phase so it should be dome by a mod.

      3) You will need to do something with vanilla quests also - either remove them or move to another traders


      The way I handle this problem - enable BarterOnly mode without BarterOnly quests and add another mod that replaces vanilla trader images with something else: Alternative portraits

      Thanks 1

  • Great work on this mod, Andrudis. I'm enjoying it a lot and can't wait to use it during 12.12. A few questions, I'm confused on the Trade and Barter bundles and how to set them up in the config. I'd like for the traders to have 0 items at start and I unlock them by doing quests so they're available for purchase from then on and not just barter able. Is that possible? Also is there a better way to organize the quests or make markers that show there are items available to turn in? I seem to have to open every quest to see if i can turn in an item. Unless I'm missing something? Besides checking the little check mark icon on the items themselves. Thats just as tedious. I'm guessing maybe adding something like that is just a limitation of SPTarkov and there's no way to add something like that to the UI?


    Anyway, sorry for so many questions but I've really enjoyed this mod and it's opened up tarkov so it's not the same old boring doing the same types of runs over and over. Thanks again for your work and dedication.

    Thanks 1

    • 1) To use Trade and Barter bundles you need to remove normal full bundle from

      \Andrudis-QuestManiac\db\QuestBundles\ folder and copy in that folder one or both Trade/Barter folders from \Andrudis-QuestManiac\_AlternativeBundles\

      for example if you want to replace "Ammo Proficiency" bundle, if need to remove folder

      \Andrudis-QuestManiac\db\QuestBundles\Ammo Proficiency\

      and copy

      \Andrudis-QuestManiac\_AlternativeBundles\Ammo Proficiency Barter\

      and / or

      \Andrudis-QuestManiac\_AlternativeBundles\Ammo Proficiency Trade\

      folder(s) into

      \Andrudis-QuestManiac\db\QuestBundles\

      2) 0 items for all traders from the start only possible for BarterOnly mode that can by enabled in config. You need to set "EnableBarterOnly" and "EnableBarterOnlyQuests" in \Andrudis-QuestManiac\src\config.json

      All my new traders have all their assortments locked by different quests from the start.

      There is no option to do this for vanilla traders and normal trades with money because there is no quests to unlock normal money trades of vanilla traders

      3) Current quest turn in system is limited by BSG's implementation. I've added prefix for each quest to easier understand which trader owns that quests ([Lab] - Lab Rat, [Mec]- Mechanic, etc). I'm also trying to limit number of handover quests and conditions available at once, but there are a limits to what I can do.

      the most problematic quests at the moment are BarterOnlyQuests (you may skip them, especially if it is not your first time playing with this mod), Gunsmith Assistant and Hideout Assistant. - for *** Assistant quests you may look at their *** Strict alternative to have less quests active at the same time if that will still suite your playstyle

    • Yea, I think I'll skip the assistant quests. Thanks for all the info and the explanation!

  • Just some feedback for the mod, obviously this is my personal opinion, but maybe others share this sentiment.

    I feel that getting leg/arm kills is rather hard.
    I think it'd be nice if it would be changed to x number shots IN the leg/arm, instead of deaths by shooting in the leg/arm.
    Could easily bump this number to like 10 or so even on the first quest as getting shots into legs/arms is definitely doable, but kills by them is rather difficult.

    I also feel that the very first tier of any ammo type, shouldn't be bartered for with an other ammo type, but rather some common barter items. Every subsequent tier requiring the previous ammo in that respective type seems very good, but the first tier goes to a very, very long loop if you want to barter for it.

    Again, this is definitely my opinion and it might be exactly how you want this mod to be, I just feel that it makes it a bit more tedious rather than more difficult.

    Edit: Not to take away any credit from your mod, as I feel it's extremely nice. So, thanks for your work on it. :)

    • Thank you for your feedback, I really appreciate it. Your feedbacks help me to improve mod and make it better and more fun. My goal is to make progression smooth and fun, rather than frustrating like Jaeger tasks. Of course difficulty should increase, but slowly and optinally.

      1) As for trick shot conditions - I agree that they feel out of place right now. I've put a ticket to roadmap to change it - not sure how exactly yet. I may replace with kills to thorax/head/any other body part (instead of legs and arms), or make it to count hits instead of kills, like you've suggested, or more trick-shots to a separate bundle and replace condition with something different at all or remove it completely... At the moment I can only say that it will be changed in the next major update, but because that update will break compatibility and will require wipe I would prefer to delay it till 12.12 update or until I'll get enough significant changes to justify requirement for a wipe.

      2) The problem with the first tier of ammo is not my intention, but a limitation of BSG's trade engine: it is possible to trade many-for-1 and 1-for-1, but it is not possible to trade 1-for-many. And because most weakest ammo cost 12, 20, 30 Roubles while the cheapest junk barter item like cricket lighter cost more than 1000 Roubles it is not possible to make any meaningful trade except 1 cheap ammo for 1 another cheap ammo. It was not my intention, but I had to do it for most ammo there are no better barter options available. The only small workaround that exists - ammo boxes. These boxes allow to exchange 1 barter item for several bullets. But unfortunately only few calibers have ammo boxes and not for all ammo types. I have included ammo box barters, but they are more like convenient additions but do not allow to fix situation fully.

    • Thanks for your answer.

      Is there a way I can edit the quest requirements myself?
      It's really holding me back enjoying the mod as I feel that especially the arm shots just aren't doable.

      If there's no way, I think I'll wait on using it until it's changed.
      Thanks for your hard work.

    • All quests are stored as plain text if specifically those ones can be found at

      \Andrudis-QuestManiac\db\QuestBundles\Ammo Proficiency\<TraderID>\quests.json - but you need to understand quests format to edit and changing quantity of conditions for already started quest will corrupt your profile.


      The best you can do - edit quest.json file for each trader and look for:


      Code
      "bodyPart": [
            "Head"
        ],

      and then delete that "bodyPart" section - it will name each condition to count any kill for progression and you will be able to complete with just 2 kills of any scav in any body part

    • Yeah I tried looking into it, but I am definitely not good enough at this stuff to manually edit all this unfortunately.

      Thanks for explaining though.


      Edit:
      I just figured out what you meant and it's working.
      Thanks, this is very nice.

  • Great update! Thanks to the author for his great work ! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

    Thanks 1

  • With this new update, for some reason my game now freezes for ~20s in raid, and after that it works fine again.

    Really odd.

    • How often do you have these freezes?

      I Have 5-second freeze at the start of every raid, but after that everything runs smoothly.

      Could you try without mod or with lower quests numbers?

    • I only have it at the start of the raid, then never again.
      But I didn't have them at all before I updated this mod.
      I'll try a different profile without the mod and see if that changes anything tomorrow.

      Thanks 1

  • Your mod is great ! Is it possible to make barter and purchase quests optional ?

    For example, if I choose only barter, I don't need quests that unlock the purchase. I will leave only the quests for barter.


    Thank you in advance

    • Hi! Will be included in the next update

      Thanks 1

  • Hey erm loving the mod so far, but does the trader's usually have nothing to offer? or am I still new and I need to complete tasks for them to unlock trade offers?

  • Hi, I love the idea of this mod and would love to try it but I keep on encountering this error every time I launch the server. Something about it not being able to find a module, I'm really unsure on what any of the error means.

    • Nevermind, I somehow solved it.

      Cannot wait to try out this mod :D
