Better Keys Updated 1.3.0

Hey sorry but I don't support old versions Your linked image also doesn't show for me so I cannot see your error, but even so I don't think I have time to help you with this problem since I have not touched tarkov/ spt for months already.

I don't think I will add the tier list back since I want to keep this server-sided, and honestly I don't have time to work on a new client-mod especially since I have moved away from SPT for quite a while now. I will hopefully keep this mod updated but I am only checking in once in a while.

For key colors, it would be easy to add the config but I guess I will have to work on it together with the next update (3.10 maybe?), just don't really have time to work on tarkov/spt stuff too actively and I have put aside my other mod ideas as well.

No worries, I didn't realize you weren't actively modding rn. Thanks for the response though, and hope all is going well outside of SPT for you

Thanks for letting me know!

No problem ☺️ does the setting work anyway with the typo ? 😂

Yes it still works, I replaced the word across the code so the same typo is everywhere XD

Can you provide the error logs? Just the relevant ones is fine, or you can pastebin the whole thing if you are not sure.

Personally I don't use custom colors because I am lazy, so I have not really tried my mod with ColorConverterAPI yet, but I do see it being needed as more maps are added since we already have repeated colors.

I will investigate this when I have more time.

Theres no error log or even an error in the server window. The error it throws is on the menu in-game just after it loads the profile data. It goes as follows

in response to http://127.0.0.1:6969/client/items;

Failed to read JSON value for TaxonomyColor.

TokenType-> String, Value -> "66ffb3"

66ffb3 is the value I had set for The Lab, but if I switch it back it'll throw an error for a different one. After a little bit of testing what I found is I can use any hex code color that doesn't contain letters, only numbers. This will work but for some reason the colors don't appear as they're supposed to. For example I had set customs to 800000, which should be a maroon color, but instead it had a blue background.

Actually just solved it, I was missing the "#" before the hexcode. I was using 66ffb3 instead of #66ffb3.

ColorConverterAPI works perfectly with this mod if you use it correctly lol. Thank you for the response though I appreciate the timeliness.

Great to hear that!

Same here. It looks like something in the mod itself grabs updates, and then broke.

it is probably because the mod fetches the latest 3.9.0 item list but your game doesn't have those items, causing error. you will have to disable autoupdate and download again the 3.8.3 mod for the old db. this is also why i have disabled autoupdate by default in the latest version.

keep in mind this will not be fixed now since i don't plan to support old SPT versions, but i might look into it to see if there is any way to prevent the error in future SPT versions.

Did what maxloo said, in the config json, I set enableAutoUpdate: true into false, launched the sever back up and the error went away

Sorry about that! I made a typo in the code, should be fixed in the latest update!

Version 1.2.3 did not help

I just checked again and I think I uploaded the wrong file on GitHub, sorry about that, can you try downloading again?

Now everything works , Thank you

I have no idea what this is honestly... I think you need to ask on SPT discord because this is something I have never seen before

Hey, at least I feel better knowing I'm not just crazy! As I said, the mod works just fine and throws no other errors during gameplay or any other time than just at the server startup. If I manage to figure out whats causing it ill update you here!! Thanks again.

i have the same thing, ye is work fine

I have seen mentions of this error from the SPT devs on discord and they said the issue was fixed back in 3.8.1, other than that it seems to be a harmless error that not just only my mod have

Are you using the latest verison? If you are upgrading, have you cleaned the old files and folders from the old versions? Did you read all the notices on the overview page and this page?

Update: Sorry I didn't see that you mentioned MoreCheckmarks, but I also use both mods together so I am pretty sure they work.

I am not actually not too sure about why you just dont't see the loot information but everything else works, it is indeed an interesting problem, but I will need more information on that since I will need to be able to reproduce the problem myself in order to be able to find a fix for it.

For the Underground parking utility room key, it was due to a typo in the key db, it has since be fixed, if you enable auto update you should get the latest db files. I will upload a fix here later but if your auto update is broken you probably need to update the mod anyway.

yes i have the latest version, morecheckmarks mod also uses the color api so i had to disable the color in this mod to make it work properly, thanks for keeping it updated it's a great mod

Again, I have More Checkmarks and Color Converter API running alongside this mod, nothing specific was required to make them work together.

More Checkmarks, as far as I understand, only adds checkmarks and the hover information, and Color Converter API shouldn't break anything, in fact, I suspect that my work actually works with the custom color, which you can configure in config.json as well.

Even if you have mods that edit the item background color or description text, in theory my mod only overwrite previous edited color values and add extra information to item description, in short, it depends on your mod load order but nothing should conflict... I put my bet on some other mods doing something stupid

probably. but atleast it works now!

its happen to me to, and you have to eliminate the betterkey in the carpet bepInEx and it disappear the error

Remove SirTyler-BetterKeys.dll from your /BepinEx/ folder and the problem will be fixed.

Explaination: I included the client plugin in the earlier versions since I was still figuring out what it does, once I figured that the client plugin was not requried I have sinced removed it including the server route /BetterKeys/GetInfo, therefore if you still have the client mod it will send a request to the now non-existent route.

Hi! Thanks for the feedback, have you followed the instructions pinned here? Are you playing on a fresh install of the latest version of this mod? Is the mod still working despite the error logged? I cannot reproduce the problem myself, will need more information to investigate this error.

it was me updating to a new build a few updates ago, none the less this is voided.
new update all fixed. as always great work, keep it up dude.

Hey, I think you still have the old client plugin installed, you will need to remove it, but otherwise the mod should work just fine.

i'm getting the same thing. I dont seem to have any old "better keys" folders/files in mods or in plugins

@mattybrown33 Besides the error log, does the mod still work? I am receiving reports of this problem but I have no idea how or why this is happening, since I cannot reproduce the problem myself, I cannot investigate for a fix for the problem

PS: Does the mod still work for you after showing the error? Or does it break everything else as well?

I was getting this error in the console, the game would start but before getting to the main screen it would flag an error in game with something about the colour brown. I was told in discord to delete a colorapi plugin which I did but had also deleted your mod by then, everything is now working as it was but i haven't reinstalled your mod so can't say for ssure if that was the issue, sorry

Update: I'm an idiot!

Re-installed you mod, works perfectly fine!

I didn't realise I already had another key colour coded mod installed which need the colorconverterapi plugin, have since deleted that because yours has more info, all working fine, my apologies, i'm an idiot!

true, good job mate o/

My god how I made this stupid mistake Thanks for the feedback and sorry so much for the inconvenience.

new version same problem.

Need delete from BepInEx SirTyler-BetterKeys.dll

Looking at the mod.ts it looks like its just part of the auto-update function, because its targeting a url; that features probably not functioning properly. Rest of the mod seems fine.

 }

  private hookRoutes(): void {
    this.router.registerDynamicRouter(
      'betterkeys-updated',
      [
        {
          url: '/betterkeys-updated/GetInfo',
          action: (url, info, sessionId, output) => {
            return this.getModInfo(url, info, sessionId, output);
          },
        },
      ],
      'betterkeys-updated'
    );
  }

yeah i forgot to edit and say nothing was broken, haha took a nap instead... seems like everything is solid tho!

I think I know why this is happening, I never updated the client mod since I am still learning about Unity modding, and when I refactored the code I changed the route name in the server code but not the client mod...

I have plans for rewriting the autoupdate part, so I guess since the rest of the mod is not affected, I will leave this problem for the next release instead of asking every one to redownload the mod. Thanks for all your feedback!

Also, for the 'SSK' Key (Shturman's stash key), It states that it is junk.

The same happens for the other Woods keys. Woods is missing from the list of maps in _constants.json, should be an easy fix.

@IssacSin Good catch, I didn't even notice since there's only a total of 3 keys for Woods. Will work the fix right away.

@TimmyGG I will actually add configs for enbling/ disabling both descriptions and and background colors, thanks for the feedback.
