  • Version 0.5.7

    3.9.0 update.


    I know I said the next update would be 1.0.0. But BSG changed a-lot regarding skills and UI surrounding it and I'm not comfortable making the changes required for me to meet my 1.0.0 criteria on an update patch, while having to adapt to the new way BSG is doing things. In due time friends.


    Known issues:

    - Green progress bar doesn't show up like other skills.

    - Skill buff icons are missing.

    - EFT is cursed.

  • Version 0.5.4

    - Fixes compatibility with realism mod post 1.2.0 update.

    Thumbs Up 1

  • Version 0.5.3

    Changes:

    - Gracefully handle doors that don't exist in the lookup table, instead of freezing the player it should now display a preloader notification to the user telling them to report the error to the developer instead. Error contains map and door IDs. This should provide me more context about fixing doors instead of relying on screenshots of locations in the game world going forward.

    - If you out level a door by 10 or more levels, lockpick charges are no longer consumed.

    - Doors that are not suppose to be opened now show a context menu entry "DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED" to clarify that not all doors can be opened as BSG intended.


    Fixes:

    - Fixes time reduction calculations that caused the player to receive notifications like "Protect objective for XXX" with elite lockpicking.

    - Fixes taxonomy colour causing some clients to not load.

  • Version 0.5.2

    - Fixes some doors on interchange causing the player to be frozen in place when inspecting or picking. Kibba outer and inner doors and a couple others.

    Thumbs Up 2

  • Version 0.5.1

    - Fixes doors on ground zero causing the player to become frozen when inspecting or picking them.

    - Fixes not being able to enter the hideout

  • Version 1.0.0 testing has begun: here

    • I don't have a Github account so I'll put this here.

      Can't use meds from inventory, they can only be used when they are bound to a button. Excludes surgery items, tested on Salewa and grizzly.

    • Thanks, yeah 1.0.0 is going to be in a state of limbo for a while. I'm rewriting a-lot of how things work.

    • Hey no worries! Take your time, I'll just let you know anything I find in case it's helpful.

      Edit: Another one is if you use meds mid sprint it will make you skid.

  • The mod creates a lot of lag in stash and hideout, I think it's related to the weapon skills the mod add, and the way they modify weapon stats.

    • Its possible with a large stash I suppose, its all being rewritten in 1.0 anyway

  • Anyone else running into Medical items resetting to full health everytime a player logs in? CMS for example going from 4/5 to 5/5. If so do you know how to fix it?

    • its a bug with the mod at the moment, will be fixed in 1.0.0. So in the meantime you get some free med refills lol

  • excited for 1.0.0 keep up the good work bro :!: :!:

  • Im on the 1.0.0, description of the skill advantages are missing, there're currently only numbers

  • Hey, I’ll be giving this mod a try soon. Just wondering if you’re planning on adding reduced use time for surgical kits or is that already included in the first aid skill?

    • If I do that, it will probably be added to the surgery skill

  • I noticed that if you break a lock and go back to it the next raid without restarting the server it will remain broken.

    • I also figured out that if you use a modded weapon the USEC/BEAR weapon proficiency will halt entirely even if you switch to a vanilla weapon. This is fixed with a server restart. Hope this information helps.

    • I'll take a look at them

    i think theyve allready been reported but just incase. its the 5 new keys 4 hideout keys and 1 overseers key
    woods= Shatun's hideout key

    interchange= Grumpy's hideout key

    shoreline= Voron's hideout key

    interchange= Leon's hideout key
    customs= Dorm overseer key

  • Idk how to post screenshots but I got a error that says ERROR: Door custom_Obzshezhitie_2_indoor_00024 on map bigmap not found in lookup table, screenshot and report this error to the developer. I didn't really know where to report this either so I just threw it here sorry for the inconvenience

    • Upload the screenshot to imgur, get the link to the picture. link should end with .jpg
      when you write a text here click the "Image" button, paste the link, press ok :)

    • Yeah I've been notified on discord of some missing doors. I'll get them added this weekend hopefully

  • Just a headsup, 0.5.7 version makes the game stuck in the main menu loading infinitely. Please wait for the creator to make a hotfix for this bug. danks

  • Hi, I updated to 0.5.7 and now my game refuses to get to the main menu and in the in-game console I see a lot of red text which has Skills Extended throughout the entire text. Upon removing this mod my game boots up as usual. I can't say what is causing this to happen but I just wanted to bring this to attention to you. I'll try to screenshot the text if I can to provide more detail if that would be useful for you? Cheers.


    Edit: 2 screenshots for more detail, also I now see that GamePanelHUD is included in the red text in console not just Skills Extended.

    1) https://prnt.sc/5rSDVsEjzURx

    2) https://prnt.sc/Lg6TN2GJpaWP

    • Its been reported to me, I'm looking into it. That didnt happen to me on testing. It has something to do with the hideout

    • My bad I just seen your reply. Thanks for clarifying bud, sorry to pester.

    • Should be resolved now. Apologies

  • I havent tried the mod on the 3.9.0 version yet, but i wanted to report a bug that was on the 3.8.3 version. After leveling up to Elite the USEC weapon skill and unlocking the BEAR weapon skill, only the first raid would give skill XP, after that you gained 0 XP. I dont know if the bug still persist on this version.

  • I see you mentioned that you implemented your skills in a slightly different way than BSG did.
    Does that mean that the standard commands through the Messenger affect your skills in a different way as well? I'm trying to find things like the USEC and BEAR rifle proficiency skills so that I can manually set their levels on an account and the system doesn't seem to be handling giving them XP very well.

    Is there a list of internal variable names for your skills that I can use? Or a better way of achieving my goals outside of the default SPT systems?

    • Uhh, This is an interesting question. Let me look into this sometime this week and get back to you

  • lovely mod but may i ask why i stopped receiving xp for BEAR weapon skill at 9 xp

    • Im not sure, Ill have to look into it

  • I've been loving your mod bro!

    Is there any way to remove inertia or almost a big part of it with your "UsecTacticsSkill"? (at the end of skillconfig.json)?

    • Its planned, its there as a placeholder, but not implemented yet

  • Any chance in getting a config for easy adjusting the uses for the lockpicks ?

  • You don't mention it in the description of the lockpicking skill unless I'm blind but once the skill is high enough it doesn't consume lockpicks for lower level locks which is an awesome feature if intended. I've spent the last day just leveling this skill on interchange on the registers. 100/10

    • Yeah I added that later, i forget what level it is off the top of my head

      Heart 1

  • Fml im sorry for this but you forgot the 9a91 and the VSK. Rare and probably not prolific enough for BEAR to use, but feels missing. Other than that thanks for the VSS and VAL

    • I mean any of you can add anything you want, even modded weapons in the config

      Thinking 1

    • I've been trying to add the ACR from "WTT - Remington Adaptive Combat Rifle" mod pack. With no successful luck as of yet.


      A. I have asked the author for the exact node/item ID to add to your config file with no luck as they haven't responded yet - which would easily resolve this, however


      B. I have gone through the json. files to obtain the correct one, with no luck successfully finding the right one.


      C. Just wanted to double check "Skills Extended" is able to find 3rd party weapon IDs if added when it's not looking in the main EFT files.


      :) :)


      got any ideas if C is N/A ^^

  • I have the mod downloaded, and see the skills in the skill tab, but when I go to look at locked doors, no prompt to inspect or attempt to lockpick the doors come up.

    • You need to buy a lockpick set from mechanic

  • Great update.

    To me it makes more sense to make the proficiency categories based on the platform, not the country of origin. The RD-704 is still an AK, and the ADAR is still an AR-15. I usually tweak these for example to be on the opposite skills. Something to consider.

    • I can see the logic but I feel that the intent makes more sense. The RD-704 would more likely be in the hands of western operatives than eastern ones. The ADAR shouldnt be on the list tho, since im pretty sure the ADAR is like the VEPR KM in that it's a smoothbore civilian rifle. Doesnt make sense BEARs would use inferior rifles.

    • The skill is based on proficiency as a concept, to me anyone with significant AR platform training or familiarity should have a proclivity for anything based on the AR platform. It makes 0 sense to remove civillian weaponry from the list because you shouldn't see a soldier using one. It's still identical in controls.

  • Hey Wondering if your mod could allow for changing the med kits value by reading what the value is set to by other mods?

    As right now i have a mod where i set grizzly to 10k but after adding this mod it set it down to 2750 which is annoying. when using extended HP pool.

    • Thats odd, according to my code it should be, what mod are you using that does that. I can take a look

    • I use the MedicalAttention

      and made sure it loads after your mod but somehow still get's yeeted down cause when i loot them they stay at 10k but after they where looted they go down to 2750 and the only mod that was added that would do changes would be yours as far I'm aware.

    • I suspect that due to the levelling of a skill with base values 1800 that it scale form that using your.

      "MEDKIT_HP_BONUS": 0.01,
      "MEDKIT_HP_BONUS_ELITE": 0.20,

      Which it's why i think your mod it the reason

  • Edit: After each raid the values drop off and the game needs to be restarted for the buffs from USEC Proficiency Skill to be re-applied.

  • I might be blind, but for me the BEAR proficiency skill isn't showing up? USEC is

    • Ahh, I AM blind... Just saw that it is only available to BEAR operators. Makes sense!

      Happy 2

  • I tried lockpicking installing the last 3 versions, doesn't work for me. I have the lockpicking set on me, I go to factory to test the lvl0 doors , I have the 2 options Lockpick and Examine lock, examine lock doesn't do anything and lockpick give me the message "This lock is easy for you" and nothing else happen. seems like it should say that with the examine lock option instead doesn't it ? I tried the mod with no other mods loaded, I am on SPT-AKI 3.8.1


    EDIT: Found out why... , So in Tarkov I did change the interaction hotkey from "e" to another key , so in most quest/task when you have to plant something, the new interaction hotkey doesn't work and force the use of "E" instead, this is the same case here, to start lockpicking I have to use "e" instead of my custom key for interaction

    • That's a bug with tarkov, fixing it is outside the scope of the project. However I have forwarded this to a different modder to see if they want to/can fix it

    • no worries, thank you for the work, I felt so stupid when I found out why it wasn't working. lost so much time removing mods and trying different versions when all I had to to is use the default interaction key...

    • Is F not the default interaction key?


      Isn't E a lean key by default?

  • Great work! Every nice addition to gameplays. <3



    And, please consider

    1. Make number of tries to break lock configurale.

    2. After breaking lock, make it that you can't pick door anymore, but you can still open and close door. (For Fika mainly. Sometimes player A break lock, player B picked lock successfully, then the door cannot be operated by player A, only player B can open and close this door)

    • 1. Yeah I can do this
      2. I dont think this is possible. I have no way to sync this data between clients, so it kind of is what it is.

    • 1. Number of attempts is now configurable

    • For second one, here is a idea, remove or blackout the option "pick lock" from interaction menu after lock is broken. This way, Player who broke lock should still be able to open or close door after another player pick it. And there is no data syncing problem.

      Thumbs Up 1

    • Thats actually a viable idea I think, Ill throw it in the next release but I have no way of testing it

    • Will test and report back once you post next release.

  • I feel like the rooms with safes in dorms should be above level 0.

    • Yeah I didnt do a whole lot in terms of balancing, I'll do a balance pass sometime in the future

    • They are now level 5

  • Shouldnt the 9x39 rifles and carbines be part of the BEAR list?

  • Sadly not seeing the AS Val or VSS for Russian Weapons. I tried adding their IDs to the config file and they do not seem to be leveling up the skill at all.

    • Disregard, it randomly started working after a couple of server reboots.

    • This is added in 0.5.6

  • ( fix your akiversion ;) , its on 3.8.0 )

  • Can you upload the latest release for 3.8.0? I'm using the Realism mode (1.1.2) for version 3.8.0, so updating this mode to the latest version will cause a crash and I can't open my Stash. I need this version because the memory leak has been fixed in the latest release

    • Just update AKI and realism, I'm not going to revert a code change to support legacy versions of mods
