Alternative Trader Pics 310.0.1

No. Just the main trader images are changed with this mod.

Never mind, it was this mod: Custom Trader Avatars

No. You shouldn't get banned for using this mod.

But... if you are worried, just run the temp file cleaner found in the SPT launcher before closing out your gaming session and switching over to Live Tarkov.

Yeah I just booted up Live and yeah saw the trader pictures and was worried. So if the Trader pics are cached do you know what else is that might ban people?

Cached images? I wouldn't worry about it.

About the only way to get banned is to do something silly like install SPT in your Live EFT directory or to mess with the live files and then play the live game with modified files.

I have a theory on why it is happening... I just need to find time to test it and work out a fix.

Did you clear the cache?

same here even when i clean temp files its still the normal ones

i think i may ahve a found a reason why its happening the ingame halloween event started im pretty sure yesterday it was working fine

Are your trader icons those from the halloween event? I got those on my install yesterday and was surprised installing this mod to overwrite them didn’t seem to work.

no they arent they are the normal ones

Easiest Way (updating all traders):

1. Place a 512 x 512 pixel jpg image that you want to use into the res folder.
2. Name it the exact name that the mod uses for its image.
3. Set the "updateAllTraders" option in the config file to "true".

Long Way (for updating selected traders).

1. Perform steps 1 and 2 from the "Easiest Way".
2. Add the code to the config file for the trader name in the MOD TRADERS section.
3. Add the traderName variable from the config file to the require line that references the variables from the configuration file.
4. Add the code that updates a single trader to the section that has each trader's update code being sure to reference the new traderName variable.
5. Set the "updateAllTraders" option in the config file to "false".
6. Set the traders that you want to update to "true".

To remedy this, you can delete your BattleState Games Temp Files if you want to go back to Live EFT.

Either use the SPT launcher and clear the Temp Files through the option in the settings menu or manually delete the whole "C:\Users\{yourUserName}\AppData\Local\Temp\BattleState Games" folder.

Hopefully Google Translate works well enough...

Чтобы исправить это, вы можете удалить свои временные файлы BattleState Games, если хотите вернуться к Live EFT.

Либо используйте программу запуска SPT и очистите временные файлы с помощью опции в меню настроек, либо вручную удалите всю папку «C:\Users\{ваш логи}\AppData\Local\Temp\BattleState Games».

I also hope that the translator will not let you down

That is, do I need to clean temporary files after every time I want to return to the online TFT? Right?

I wouldn't worry about it... unless you plan on streaming your session.

Is this the only mod you're using?
If so, then it should just work. The coding is pretty simplistic and doesn't do much other than change the server response for images by injecting this mod's images.

If this is not the only mod you're using, then you may need to change the order of your mods.
Check the comments here to see what others have tried.

yep, the first. I have already read all the treads and config file its ok. Doesnt work

THX

Before you start the server/game again... try the following.

Go into the AlternativeTraderPics mod's "src" folder and delete "altPics.js", so that only "altPics.ts" and "config.json" remains in the "src" folder.

Start the Server.

Start the Launcher and clear the Temp files again.

Then launch the game and let me know if that works.

WORKS!!

thx for patience

Tried again for the update and still doesn't work.

There wasn't really an update. The current version of the mod worked for the current version of SPT so I only changed the SPT version flag on the description.

Check your config...

• If wanting to update all traders, set "updateAllTraders" to "true" and leave all other options set to "false". (This should be the default setting.)
• If you want to update mod traders and/or specific EFT traders, set "updateAllTraders" to "false" and then set the desired options below it to "true".

Before launching the game...

• Access the "Settings" menu in SPT Launcher.
• Click on "Clean Temp Files".
• Click on the "Right Arrow" to exit the "Settings" menu.

You should now be able to launch the game with the big yellow "Start Game" button.

Note: This mod requires that the cache be cleared for it to work as intended on the initial run. After the first time, you only need to clear the cache if adding or removing additional traders or making changes to the configuration file.

Ok good news. I finally got it working but what i had to do is make it the first mod that was loaded instead of the last. I took off the zz and added a ! and got it loading now.

Very interesting.

Do you mind sharing which mods you have installed?

I'd like to run some tests myself to find out which mod is conflicting with it.

Currently in the mods folder,

There isn't currently an option for that.
I might make it an option in a future release. Thanks for the idea!

For sure, love the work you're doing!

umm...
So I did a thing. Hope you like it!

That's insane bro, thank you so much! You're the goat

Quick question though, I just realized there was a big update to 3.5.2. I don't wanna have to wipe the save I just started, so I might stay on 3.5.1 for a little longer. Will 3.5.2 mods still work with 3.5.1?

They're not backwards compatible, but you are in luck because your profile can be transferred to the new version. I'm running my 3.5.1 profile in 3.5.2 right now.

As of today, I'm roughly 99% sure that would be a "No".
Until BSG starts doing some shady shit like scanning your drives without your consent, then it is highly unlikely that they will ban you for this mod.

But... I'm also speculating a bit. I don't have a single clue about what BSG has going on in their noggins.

Thank you for your reply.

Your words reassured me!

㎰.It goes without saying, but whatever the outcome, I will not hold a grudge against you.

It will alter the temp files but that doesn't "interfere" with live. If you plan to jump back into live, clear the temp files using the Aki.Launcher.exe application beforehand.

Appreciate it, just figured since it messed with Main Files it could lead to an issue.

Start Server and Launcher... don't enter game yet.
In the Launcher, click on the "Settings" link in the top right.
In Settings, click on "Clear Temp Files"
Then click the arrow on the right to return to the Launcher main page and start EFT.
Enjoy.

thank you so much needed the anime mommies...

no need. you can just add the names to the config file under the "traders" section if you know the names of the traders from the mods you want to add.

The only downside is that some modders use default names like avatar, so if you use any of those mods, they will have the same pfp for their traders.

Its mainly for other weabos like me that like anime pictures on the traders, so I will also be adding my custom images along with the mod

If you want to create a custom image and config pack for my mod, then I'm very okay with that. I was just meaning that you don't have to re-invent the wheel by creating a copy of the actual mod itself.

You can create a pack that overwrites my pics/config and then just link this mod as a prerequisite for your customization pack. If you want to do that, I approve 100%.

Don't forget to credit any artists whose pictures you use.

u mean beplnex file in plugins or what ?

idk i am new in modding

The "root" of your SPT installation is the folder in which EscapeFromTarkov.exe is located. It's the old-school way of saying "parent folder" or "source location".

So I drag the file into the Escapefromtarkov.exe folder and then it works? Not that I'm doing anything wrong, that's why I'm asking

Yes, the same folder that these 3 executables are in..

• EscapeFromTarkov.exe
• Aki.Launcher.exe
• Aki.Server.exe

Just extract the contents of the zip to that location.

its not loading for me i am playing 3.4.0 and it wont show the pics

Did you clear your Temp Files after adding the mod? The game will use the last cached images so you have to clear your temp files for the new images to show up.

where would those be located at?

In the SPT Launcher.
There should be a "Clean Temp Files" button in the settings menu.
Click on it, then click the arrow to go back to the main menu so you can launch the game as per the usual.

can't wait!

Did you make sure that all of them have the same extension?
and
Did you set the extension in the config file?

Recommended extensions are jpg and png.

If using png files, then you would have to change line 2, "extension", to say "png" instead of "jpg".

{
    "extension": "jpg",
    "traders": [
        "59b91ca086f77469a81232e4",
        "59b91cab86f77469aa5343ca",
        "59b91cb486f77469a81232e5",
        "5a7c2ebb86f7746e324a06ab",
        "5ac3b86a86f77461491d1ad8",
        "59b91cbd86f77469aa5343cb",
        "5c06531a86f7746319710e1b",
        "579dc571d53a0658a154fbec"
    ]
}

i just used the default pictures you had in there and made sure the extensions were accurate

The default pictures should have worked as-is. No need to rename anything unless you are using your own custom images.

Thank you.

Removed reference to the script at it is no longer needed since the ability was added into the AKI Launcher settings menu.

Its safe, just clear your cache before you play online.

I don't watch anime so I'm using your version of the mod.

You made AMAZING pics for the traders.

You have serious talent.

Hey thanks man, glad you like it. I just tried to keep them in the same feel of the originals. Wasn't much work, just some royalty free stock images with various filters and cropping lol. Thanks for the kind words all the same.

Not much of an anime fan either but not that much into serious pics either (those are really good) so i used some striking a considerably less serious note.

Made me chuckle.

It's not working properly for me.

At first, your Fence pic would show up but I got spinning wheels for the others and trace errors in the server.

I went in and found that the pic names in the config file didn't match the pic names in the res file. And even after copy/pasting the names from the pics to the config file, still only Fence shows up. The originals show up instead of the spinning wheels.

Here is the trace error I get. It occurs for each trader other than FENCE, just with different file names (pictures) that can't be found.

ALSO ....the config file uses the file names from jbs4bmx's original res file, except Fence. Not yours.

[ERROR] Trace:

[Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\AKI Tarkov\user\mods\jbs4bmx-AltTraderPics\res\59b91cbd86f77469aa5343cb.jpg'] {

Thanks for letting me know. Updated.
