CustomTraderAvatars is a simple mod that offers customization options for both default trader profile pictures and the ability to add and personalize modded trader profile images.

--- Overview ---

- Please read the README.md for more information on how to use the mod.

- Includes two sets of custom avatars for the default traders as shown below.



--- Installation Instructions ---

1. Begin by downloading the 'PreyToLive-CustomTraderAvatars-v1.0.1.zip' file from the provided link or the Github repository.

2. Extract the contents of the downloaded archive. You should now have a folder named 'zPreyToLive-CustomTraderAvatars' containing the mod files.

3. Navigate to the location of your SPTarkov folder on your computer.

4. Inside the SPTarkov folder, find the 'user/mods/' directory.

  • I had a question about getting this mod loaded. For the name of the folder that we are using do we need to make a new folder with the pictures we want to use from your samples or do we need to add the entire file path to the folder? I couldn't get the mod to load with the file names or the file path. Thank you

      1. In the "res/traders" folder create a new folder.
      2. Put all your custom trader avatars in this new folder.
      3. Open the config file and where it says "traderFolderToUse" type the name of the folder you just created. It must match the name of the folder exactly. Leave out the file extension (for example, .png or .jpg), this is not needed.
      4. Now, where it says "traderFolders", create a new object with the traders names (copy-paste an existing object such as "defaultAvatars: {}". Also name this new object to be the exact name of the folder you created.
      5. Now, for each trader name key in this new object, type the exact name of the avatar file into the value that you want to be associated with that trader. Leave out extensions, as they are not needed
      6. If you have modded traders then you need to add another key to the object and also add the file-name value. The key should be exactly what the mod author named the trader in their mod.

      That should be all you need to do. Let me know if you still need help with it. (Oh and don't copy-paste code from the example since the formatting is all screwed up.)

  • I had an issue with this mod loading on 3.8.3 and narrowed it down to the modPath in CTAMain. I changed ln:35 to not split and pop __dirname. I have the changes committed locally, and want to push them to your branch. I'm not sure how you have contributors setup; will it require a review or not? see change below.


    const modPath = path.basename(path.dirname(__dirname)); <- this allows to grab the path one level up since we are in src folder.

  • I really like these! Mind sharing how you made them?

  • i like what you did with pictures

  • add some previews

    • I added previews to the overview page.

    • Yes, the trader avatars that come with the mod can be found in the 'res/traders' directory of the mod.
