Vasyl the Mercenary 3.1.2

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.

The Mercenary, a EURO Trader. Primarily buys and sells various NATO-Based weapons, parts, and equipment. Now with Loyalty Levels, and Quests! - Chapter 3 Available.

"Where there's conflict, there's profit. I have a lot of clients; Servicemen, Scientists, Cultists, Anarchists, and the Lonely Wanderers, I can certainly find you a buyer, or perhaps, you're interested in our supplies? We might have a few things lying around you'll like. Just don't ask me where It came from."


Sick of finding all those darn Euro Dollars taking up space, and generally having no real value?
Want a use for Euros, but the game never really lets you use it other than a freeby off the Flea?


Well want no more!

The Mercenary in here!

The Mercenary originated as a private mod for a few friends and I.
I somehow (and barely) managed to make a custom trader to solve a few particular problems we were having as well as just giving us something to use our Euros on, be it some fancy tech and gear, solving Hideout issues, or just letting us get access to certain things in an alternative way.

The prices are largely based off a loose conversion, and some based off the Flea Market value, while a majority of it is based off the Sell Price.

See screenshots below to see what's offered.
Some people may have problems with whats available and pricing, so, if you know how to understand code, go ahead and modify it, I really dont mind, I just wanted to share this with other people.

Lore-wise for Vasyl, is he's a wandering Mercenary with a band of misfits hailing from other wartorn parts of Europe, offering various gear, surplus, ammo, tech junk, and components, be it spare parts, or ripped from abandoned tanks and trucks.

Finally, you can convert USD and EUROS with TheMercenary at a 1:1 Ratio.


As of Update 1.9.2 / 2.0.0: Loyalty Levels are now implemented, 1 - 4, So not everything is available immediately anymore to make for a more balanced and rewarding experience. See comment section for (1.9.2) Example Screenshots.

  • is it possible to find the Ultralink in raid or it is only a barter item?

  • Hi, I have a balancing request.
    I found, that buying 9x19 FMJ M882 bullets for 1 eur I can immidiently sell them for 2+ eur (350 rub) on flea.
    I play with real flea prices mod, but I think you should consider to bump the original price. Or at least set sell limit for the trader.

    • Thanks for letting me know, I have some errors that I need to fix, so I'll push an update soonish.

  • Hey, can you tell me the total number of quests in this mod? Is it safe to install it on an existing save?

    • 19 Quests, 18 for the main story, 1 for the optional quest.

      It should be safe to install on an existing save, I have been doing it easily myself, however, I can't say for sure, for uninstalling, but, it should be relatively okay.

    • Thanks!

  • Quests Fixed (I think). Let me know if there are issues.

  • How would I go about changing the quest images for this mod? Also, thanks for the update :)

    • To change the vanilla image, using other vanilla images, you can open the Quest.json and change the URL, else, you'll need to consult the VCQL Mod page to add custom images.

    • Ah gotcha, so it uses vanilla imagery right now, and a "path" for custom images would need to be made if I got that right. Thanks for the answer.

    • I believe so, I skimmed over the updated documentation for VCQL, and it mentioned specifics, but it shouldn't be too difficult to modify.

      Heart 1
    • Thanks for the information :)

  • Updated to 3.9, any issues, let me know!

    *I haven't tested the quests on 3.9, report issues please.

    • Brother you are the absolute best!

    • Welp, seems I was a little overconfident in things working, Hand-ins are currently broken. Seems being in a hurry bit me on the rear, I'll look into it later.


      Thanks to VolkRonin for reporting this.

  • For those curious, I will be updating this mod soon, but I can't say when, I've simply been busy and letting things catch up in the SPT Space. I do have other projects to work on as well, but, rest assured, this is not abandoned, I just haven't had the time. (And it's been bothering me for a while).

  • can we get update for this mod ?

    • Hi, sorry for such a long delay.

      Yes, I plan to update this mod, I've just been busy, and when the craze hit with the Unheard Edition, I had trouble getting the information I needed, so I opted to shelve the project until things slowed down and update.


      It may be a while before a new version comes, as I actually haven't updated SPT since 3.8, so, I have a lot of catching up to do. You can look forward to an update in future, but I can't say when. I still have other projects to finish.

    Le mod sera-t-il mis à jour pour la version 3.8 ?

    Merci

    • Bonjour,

      The mod will be updated soon, I've been very busy.

  • Collector seems to be bugged, unable to turn in Baddie's beard. Everything else works fine.

    • Funny thing about this, I fixed this bug a couple days before the Unheard craze, and I wasn't ever able to update the page, but the file was updated, only to find out that it nolonger works on 3.8+ lmao.


      I plan to update this mod, but I can't say when, I've been quite busy and have some catching up to do.

  • Seems the first quest isnt working for me, says i need to kill 20 scavs in factory at night, when its night and i go to factory the task is greyed out, and i cant seems to get any progress on it.

    • Just ran a test, and it's working fine for me.

      Make sure you are at least level 5 or 10 (I forgot the minimum Level)
      Make sure you are choosing the 3AM Option
      Make sure you are a PMC

      If you're using Tedious Quest Condition Remover, it -might- be causing a conflict, but I haven't had any issues myself.

    • figured out the issue, seems it is the actual times of factory. Seems what is "day" time for factory is night. I was wondering why night factory was so bright but just thought it was a bug lmao

    • It's 24 hour format 15:00 is 3PM.

  • Hello

    Great mod you made it's amazing, I'm updating my mod and I was wondering if you could help me with the missions part?

    • I'd look at what the VCQL Page offers, you are more than welcome to pull my files and learn from them.
      Just a key thing though, the quest ID's like "MVCQ" need to be unique, otherwise they'll conflict with other mods.

      The Locales file is where all of the text data is, the Quest file itself will reference that Locale file.

  • i just downloaded this mod but it keeps telling me : Mod (Virtual's Custom Quest Loader) mist een package.json


    what to do sir ?

    • Have you downloaded VCQL as well?
      You need to install that first.

  • The quest zone on The mercenary: Enlistment Part 2 isnt working for me, any help?

    • Have you completed the quest to find the Fuel Trucks on Customs?
      Specifically, you need to mark the fuel truck in the main yard across from the Dorms IIRC, it's truck No.2, same one you find the Locket in I think.

      I have reason to believe if you've completed the aforementioned quest first, it might bug mine.

    • Okay, i thought it was the one at the gas station because of the picture, i apologize

  • Did you clumsily add a bunch of custom traders and FUCKED yourself from accessing them all?


    Then maybe you should use the Trader Scrolling Mod

    Animation.gif?ex=65359528&is=65232028&hm=a4275792e573790966a089c63cd4d8c04de6f595164431c26e2bb6e4c8f0f221&

  • I've not been running the quest loader for him due to conflicts with Questing traders and Artem trader. Is your 1.9.3 update that states it resolves mod conflict resolve this specific issue? And if so since I'm ignorant on these things do I need to completely delete the trader and re install, or can I just extract the VCQL in my already existing mercenary folder? Thanks,

    • So, the Mercenary folder itself doesn't contain the Quest files, the VCQL Folder does (And includes VCQL as a whole).


      The incompatibility I believe comes from me using the default quest ID's shipped with VCQ and VCQL such as "VCQ_1" for the first quest, which is what I assume other quests are doing, so it causes one or both to fail to load.

      I renamed ALL of the quest ID's to "MVCQ" as a quick fix, aslong as other quest jsons don't use "MVCQ_X" it should work perfectly fine, if there continues to be more conflicts, I'll just make the ID's entirely unique.

      1.9.3 was incredibly tedious so I didn't put a lot of effort into that particular fix, I just wanted to fix it.

      If it causes a conflict, check the VCQL/database/quests/[Quest].json and see if they use the same ID's (Locale is the same).

      If that isn't the direct issue, then I'm not sure, I'm simply using the VCQL Framework. if Artem conflicts with ALL VCQL Quests, then it's a problem specific to Artem.

      If Artem comes with its own Quest Loader, you can probably put my Quest and Locale files into that Loader, but I don't know anything about Artem, I only have three Trader Mods to serve specific purposes.

    • I just downloaded our pal Artem and ran both, so far not had any conflicts between Vasyl's VCQL and Artem's, can accept quests from both and I'm not getting (visible) errors.


      Things seem just fine, but if you have issues, post 'em.

  • Why doesn't Vasyl give me quests? Please help

    • Did you ensure that Virtual's Custom Quest Loader is also in your user/mods folder? If it's not that, then I'm not sure

  • Why is there no translation file in database/locales/en? Can you provide one to facilitate localization?

    Thank you so much!

    • I'll take a look, I'm not sure how all that stuff works.

      Edit:
      Wow I missed a very important detail when I started, I'll get to it ASAP.

  • Mod FurryFailure-TheMercenary is not compaitble with this version of AKI (mine is 3.7.4) the trader show up but .... no missions ... and he is already on level 4

    • It's very much Compatible, make sure the mod folder is named "TheMercenary" and it's the latest version.

      The Loyalty Levels haven't been implemented yet, but will be included on the next update.


      If you want the Missions you need to install the VCQL Folder too

      New update will be in a an hour or so, maybe sooner. Just polishing it up first.

    • i thought so too that it should work all my other custom traders work with their missions. i draged the new version of yours 1.9.2 into the mod folder overwrite it and start the game i even cleared the temp files

      i tried it with my 3.7.1 and it doesnt work .... (dragged both folders in to the mods folder and overwriten it if asked) i get no error msg either should i delete this modbut no idea how

    • Delete TheMercenary then go into the VCQL/Database/Quests and delete "MercenaryQuestAddon.json"

      After that, go to: user/profiles and open your Profile .json, and search for the term "Mods" or "TheMercenary" and delete any entries related to the mod. Your profile will be a bunch of letters and numbers.

      Then try and reinstall the mod by dropping VCQL and TheMercenary into user/mods folder

      I'm not quite sure what else would be causing problems, unless there's some strange conflict I'm unaware of.
      I've fresh installed the mod and started a new profile and it works for me. I'll ask my buddy when he has time to trouble shoot for me incase I forgot a dependency.

      If the AKI Version number is a bother, you can go into user/mods/TheMercenary, and open package.json and change the "akiVersion" number to 3.7.4, see if that helps.

    • Its probably on my side ... dont know what i broke or changed i tried everything you told but it didnt resolve the problem ... i try to figure it out if you have any other tips or help in the future i would appreciate it
      Thanks for your help and your time its much appreciated !

    • I'm really not sure, I only have three things, and one that I think is obvious for both of us, and the other a stretch, but;

      Uninstall every other mod and see if it works, if not, there may be a conflict.

      This one might be a stretch, but, because I wrote the Quests without a Locale file, it might be causing problems for you specifically, I need to look into how to do that properly, especially if others want or need to translate the mod. (Rookie mistake on my part).

      Lastly;
      I have a strange feeling you might not be extracting the folders properly, as it's easy to make the mistake (But given you've modded before, I don't think you're having this issue)
      A lot of guides over the years tell you to extract to file, and I think you're adding the master file, and not the contents of the zip file, make sure it looks something like this:

  • Hey, would this work with 3.7.1?

    • yes using it rn ;)

    • Yes, it was made on 3.5.7, So it should be compatible with almost everything back to then.

    • Awesome, thank you :)

  • trader isnt showing up, says something about a missing json when initially loading, same with a couple other trader mods, am i missing something?

    • Make sure you're placing "TheMercenary" in the "mods" Folder.

    • works, had it unpacked wrong, now if there was a way to get my profile in the trade tab out of the way, or a way to scroll

    • Scrolling Traders, Kaeno-TraderScrolling

  • Aye, Great Mod! A bit overpowered in terms of whats offered, but since he takes Euros, I really could care less as nobody else really does and now they have a use with this trader.


    I do hope we get more quests for him in the future, but until then? Best of luck with this mod, as it seems good.

    • Adding onto this about the over powered stuff, I'd recommend is to maybe(?) increase the prices of the exceptionally kitted guns a bit, like the USASOC or the G28. But then again, this trader alone at least makes euros way more useful than just for buying the AI trades on the market. Its SPT, everybody takes it at their own pace after all.

      One thing I would recommend for sure is to have him sell more ammo types, but thats it.

      Still, amazing mod/trader mod.

    • Thanks, I'm thinking about a Loyalty Level system with Vasyl when I finish the planned three Chapters, I'm currently testing Chapter 2 right now.


      I'm personally iffy on a couple things myself, but the convenience outweighs it for me, the Converter for Example, I think would be a great Quest or LL4 reward.


      I just need to study how to do that first.

    • I'll consider some new Ammo Types next I'm in the files.

  • Ахахаха, блин, какой интересный мод)

  • POV: You work on a mod which uses euros as a currency because nobody use it and someone makes a mod for it 3 weeks after starting working on it aquadesperate . Anyway nice mod, pretty gud continue doing this mate !

    • Haha, yeah I made this mod several months ago, but, I was always afraid of sharing it, since, I felt like no one would like it, but, yesterday I was encouraged to do it anyway.

      It's so disappointing how Euros aren't used.
      More Eurotraders should be a thing I reckon!

  • Felt the need to provide a condensed version with less repetition, and fixes. Curious if you plan to leave the mod as is or continue to work on it?

    P.s. Here is an optional "Realistic" alternative for a pic. https://www.mediafire.com/view/mlco1mzf9q5psh5/Vasyl.jpg/file

    • I'll likely keep working on it over time, but updates would be pretty sparse, my friends want more attachments, so I may end up adding more over time.

  • New traders are always good. But they would be more attractive if they had at least a few quests “on board”...

    • Would definitely be dope, but most don't know how to do that.

    • I thought about this a lot, I may end up attempting this at some point, but I'm not super code savvy, at least with SPT.

    • I believe in you, one way or another - everything will work out!

    • Well, we're in luck, I've managed to make use of the VCQ and VCQL Framework to make some basic quests!
      Do keep an eye out for a future update! ;)
