Lotus 1.5.4

Hi, just tried it out on 3.11, seems to work fine, the laptop even spawns before completing the previous objectives, any chance you had the quest "seaside vacation" open / completed at the same time?

oh! i didn't notice that, probably to be like the situation u said: i completed "seaside vacation" before the "Search Warrant" told me to take the laptop. same problem like the confliction of the postman pat.

Hi, could you describe the issue a bit more detailed? Additionally providing a modlist could help

delete the conversation

Fixed the "half-screen" messenger, but messenger is still scuffed. A few of the messages cant be scrolled to. Slider bar still moves but the messages don't follow.

Profile is scuffed, I presume?

Yeah possibly something wrong with the profile itself

Figured. Discord is saying its normally due to removing a trader. I no longer believe its this mod. Thanks!

If it turns out differently, Ill be back to report.

Hi, i havent personally tried it out but if i had to guess the issue could either be related to some of the quests that i added in 3.11 or something with the load order, try changing the load order around and see if that can help

Okay so from what I dug up; within the AQP mod there is a config.json and inside it there is a line called "enableOverhaulModule". It was set to true by default but once I rewrote it to false Lotus's quests start to appear once I finish New Contacts. Should I let Dewardian Dev know about this issue? Or is it a Lotus issue? everything seems to work fine once I disable that overhaul module.

Thanks for the help and info

Glad it works now But im unsure what the actual cause of the issue is, I guess asking couldnt hurt tho

How does changing the overhaul from true to false change the way the AQP works?

Figured I'd chime in here. When it comes to AQP, setting enableOverhaulModule to false seemingly breaks most of its functionality (which shouldn't be very surprising, given the name of this parameter and the nature of the mod.)

A new profile with AQP installed starts with traders locked, as the mod unlocks them through the edited questline progression. Setting enableOverhaulModule to false will unlock traders that the player isn't supposed to have unlocked yet with AQP and cause the game to use the standard questline progression once again.

The problem is that for whatever reason, something in AQP is preventing Lotus' quests being accessible. While setting enableOverhaulModule to false makes her quests appear, returning the setting to true after accepting them / completing them does not allow her questline to continue. If someone wanted to use AQP + Lotus together, they'd need to constantly edit AQP's config file to receive her quests, complete them, and continue.

Hi, unfortunately there isnt really an easy way to do that, i could only think of manually deleting all the things from the files but i really wouldnt suggest doing that unless you know what you're doing and how it works

Yeah I won't fuck with the files bc I would prob just break things. I appreciate it, though. Love the mod and your work regardless<3

Hi, i think i messed up something with the IDs in the starting conditions, i can take a look at it real quick, thanks for the report

Alright i did some testing after applying a possible fix, looks like it works normally now, ill upload the fix later once im done change some of the gunsmith objectives

Hi, it shouldnt matter as far as i know, you just need to grab it twice then, the quest "youve got mail" is on streets of tarkov and i want to avoid having anything streets related in lotus atm, i can take a look at it tho and see if everything works normally

Alright i tried it out and you were right, classic tarkov moment i guess, ill make the starting requirements have the quests which contain the respective quest items, thanks for the report

No worries, you do great work.

Can confirm, just ran into the same issue, died with the letter though and then it never reappered. Had Post-Man pat and that quest active at the same time. Couldn't fix it at all, had to give myself the letter 2 times so i could hand them in as they weren't spawning even after editing my profile

ill include the fix it in the next release

Hello, I believe i still have the images saved somewhere, I could upload them to the "Lotus" thread in the SPT discord server, builds for the questline "Getting Familiar With Weapons" should be the same in 3.10 and 3.11

Hi, its usually a user error, likely a mod conflict or incorrect installation, make sure you fully installed virtuals custom questloader including the plugin ( VCQLQuestZones.dll located in BepInEx/plugins ), if you use fika in some way you need to make sure everything is installed on every client

"I loaded this mod with SP EFT Manager. The Virtual Custom Quest Loader was automatically loaded as well. I don’t know what to do, because I really want to play those 200 quests.

"The plugin was missing, and I’ve added it now. Hopefully everything works correctly now. Thank you!

hello, i tried it out myself on 3.11.3 and it was accepted normally so it is likely a mod conflict, any mod that changes something about weapon / attachment stats could be the issue

Thats weird.

Because a few other friends have this quest completed, and we are playing on the same server. Since then we haven't really added any new mods.

These are the mods we are using - if it helps

hmm strange, well i could try looking at the traces and errors logs to see if they have any info on that, you could send them here by any chance?

I am very new to this - if you could guide me on how I can get them - that'd be amazing.

hi, you can check the solutions for lotus' gunsmith tasks on the modpage, unfortunately i can't view your image so i can't look at the build

I fix it now you should do it because I can't see the solution to that mission

Oh i see, you're still on 3.10.x, which means the builds from the solutions wont work because the quests were reworked, you can still find the builds in the "Lotus" thread in the SPT discord server tho

THANK YOU. how do I join discord

i think if you press on "dashboard" located in the top row on this website there should be a link somewhere

hi, could you provide a modlist by any chance?

sure, its there a easy way to do it? or do i have to screenshot all mods i have installed?

yes, you can screenshot your mods folder

alight, https://drive.google.com/drive…MfwGGmJvlBHBt?usp=sharing there is the screenshots, one its server mods the other its clients mods, just in case some sever mod broke you mod.

hmm, at first glance i dont see anything that could break the gunsmith quests, im really unsure what the issue could be tbh

Hi, you can enable the "Trading Intermediate Screen" in the normal tarkov settings, or download Kaeno-TraderScrolling

Hi, unfortunately i cant help that much with fika, i tried out lotus with fika once and it worked without issues but im unsure about the headless client. Did you try out other traders too or was this issue just with lotus?

yeah i forgot to add it, ill put the fix in the next release

hi, you need to find a sealed letter, its in the little bunker with a scav body, its the same quest item as the one from the quest "Postman Pat - Part 1"

Thank you so much, my mind was still thinking the letter would be in the scavs jacket so only checked that spot

hi, i checked again and they werent on shotgun kill quests yet but they were on ak-type weapons, ill include the fix in the next release, thanks for the report

hi, did you use something like dynamic maps or gamepanel hud to see if the quest location shows up on the map? if it doesnt show up it means its not working, make sure to have everything fully installed ( lotus + lotus questfiles + virtuals custom questloader including the plugin ), if you're using fika you need to do this on all clients, hope this can help

Yes, i use dynamic maps, and the quest wont appear on map. and the first part of the quest have worked good (kill hostiles)

I use sp-eft manager to install all the mods.

When i've installed the lotus he automatically install the virtual quest loader, perhaps something is missing using these method to install plugins?

yeah i wouldnt recommend using anything automatic for this just to be safe, i suggest installing lotus + vcql manually again and see if it works then

i think was missing dll on BepInEx\plugins for the VCQL.

Now is working and appears on dynamic maps.

Thank you for the help.

hello, is there any chance you could provide a higher quality image? its really low res on my end so its hard to see whats wrong

also a modlist / logs would help a lot

version 1.2.3 of All Quests Checkmarks should fix it

hi, if theres no marker on dynamic maps ( assuming that quest markers are enabled, should be by default ) it means the questzone doesnt work, possible mod conflict, maybe if you're using fika, make sure you have virtuals custom questloader fully installed including the plugin and all lotus questfiles ( specifically the lotus_zones file located in the zones folder of VCQL )

hmmm, yep, was missing plugin on headless client, ty

hi, i took a look at it and it seems like bsg probably messed up something with certain quest objectives again, ill fix the issue and include it in the next release, thanks for reporting

also by any chance did you encounter this form of problem with quests that require finding and handing over items other than dogtags?

Allllright, I found the magic.

So apparently when I was downloading all of my mods I either 1) completely missed the VCQL files because I skipped them or didn't know what the VCQL was at the time, or 2) downloaded the VCQL files for my traders and then installed the VCQL which somehow overrided those files I put before it. Went back into the original mod download and grabbed the VCQL files, copied them into the VCQL mod and voila , it worked.

hello, you need to update lotus, the issue got fixed recently

I updated to the latest version and the problem was solved, thank you very much.

hi, you need to update lotus to the latest version

hi, theres a EFT issue with the WMX200 flashlight, ingame it says its a "flashlight" but actually it counts as a tactical device for some reason, so you need to use one of the 25mm flashlights from skier level 1

theres also a tab on the modpage which has all the solutions for every gunsmith task

yup, that fixed it.
the fact that is listed wrong in game is dumb, but also not an issue you can do anything about
thnx for the repsonse

hi, what level is your character? the first quest should show up at level 5 - no other requirements, also make sure you have everything installed properly ( Lotus + Lotus' questfiles which are included here + Virtual's custom questloader ), also the spt server tells you if any / how many quests were loaded

Same here, cant do fuelist part 1 because you cant drop the marker down on the tanker, nor get the "locate the fuel trailer" subobjective done

hi, are you using fika by any chance? otherwise logs / full modlist could help and make sure you have virtual's custom questloader correctly installed ( including the .dll file in bepinex/plugins )

No, nothing like that. im not sure

I did the instructions for both correctly

one way to check if the zones work is with a mod like dynamic maps which shows quest locations on the map, if they dont show up it means something is broken

Did you check the information under Overview/Known issues?

check out the known issues tab, there should be all the infos on that ( at least on the issues reported and confirmed so far )

Thanks for getting back to me.

I double checked the settings and had unticked the wrong one, however once i did that it just crashed on program start, local server fired up ok and no warnings in the server.

But i think it may have been a version issue, i realised i was running 3.11.1, updated to the latest version and that seems to have sorted it.
