    • Chad update! Done a few raids with custom traders and quests.

      So far everything works like a charm

  • So I was using default value, and I don't get a new quest upon quest completion unless I complete both quest that was given, for example I got Debut and Background Check from prapor, I complete debut but there's no new quest unless I complete Background Check, is this intended behavior? I would like new quest that kinda "slip" into the trader quest quota, is that possible?

  • Question. Haven't played SPT since 3.11 was released. Wasn't this the "What grind my gears" mod?

    • It's the same, just with an added module. With quest overhaul changes turned off that functionality is still here.

  • Hi ! Cool mod !
    Small question, what if I want 3 or 4 quests per trader at the same time, but when I finish a quest, I directly get a new one ?
    Is that possible ?
    If not, would be so cool to add that !
    Thanks a lot

  • Hello, I have some problem with the gunsmith quest in the version 3.11. I can't do the quest, even with the right weapon. I tried with the usp .45, it did not work, so I used skipper for it. I tried the second quest, with the op-sks and it did not work either. I will try to do the one with an akms, without mods this time, but it feel like it have some kind of problem. That might be a me problem, but please let me know if anyone got that problem and if anyone have a solution too.

    • Same issue here.

    • are you using other quest mods? I was able to complete both without issue.

    • I was, so I guess that is why it happen, I also guess the update should fix things out too!

      Happy 1
    • It should yes.

    • I also can't get the Gunsmith quests to work. All custom traders loaded after this one. If you use quest skipper, you can get around the bug by just going on the honor system.

  • I know it says its not good with custom quests but has anyone get this to work with Lotus/AES traders?

    They wont offer me any quests when I activate this mod regardless of the loadorder.

    I realy like the progression for quests from this one but I need my custom traders :D

    • I also have the same issue.

    • See latest update, load custom quests/traders after my mod

      Heart 1
    • Same issue using 1.02. Painter works. Lotus does not. Weird bug. Love the mod though. It adds a nice change to the usual.

  • have you heard any conflicts with VCQL or mods like Scorpion?

    • This mod definitely disables the quests of custom traders.

    • Latest update should fix this.

  • Going to release a config change soon here to make peacekeeper unlock a bit easier.

  • awesome sauce!

  • this normal? its the first mod loading

    • i had this error msg too

      got rid off it by removing acidphantasm-refsptfriendlyquests cause it modifies the quests with REF which this mod dosnt like at all


      its says on the main paige under compatibility



      Compatibility:


      Load before custom traders in the load order.json


      Good with all things except modded quests?
      it should work normal after removing refsptfriendlyquests mod

    • Indeed.

      Acid phantasm is amazing though so I may look at compatibility in the future.

  • 3.11 released - MOD HAS BEEN REWRITTEN with much of the same old code.

  • I have a release candidate for 3.11, pending any bugs, this will release soon.

  • work on 3.11?

  • How does the "killQuestCountModifier" value work? The numbers don't make sense to me.


    For example, Punisher Part 1 required kills at the following values:


    Default = 15

    0.95 = 7

    0.9 = 7

    0.8 = 6

    0.5 = blank (one kill?)


    Can it only change the number of kills to be halved or lower? For example at 0.8 I would expect it to become 12 kills.

  • Hi, I am using lotus which contains some 'gunsmith' quests, since the mod only checks quest type and quest number before converting these quests, different weapon assembly quests got same quest id hence the same progress and wrong description. I checked quest name and changed questlist index correspondingly to mend this but it's kinda 'dumb' cuz this is mod specific instead of a universal fix. I wonder if you bother to look into this and make an official update.

    Anyway, finally can enjoy doing gunsmith with this mod, cheers.

  • There is a small bug with the local id not being stored correctly, I may go fix that soon, for now if you restart your server and the gunsmith description is a bunch of numbers, that is why,

    This doesn't effect the funtionality of the mod.

  • Hi, great mod !

    What do these configs do ?

    baseQuantity and countMultiplier

    Thanks for you mod !

    • baseQuantity = number of base gunsmith kills

      count multiplier = number that is multiplied with gunsmith number.


      You can turn on debug to see the effect, but an example

      baseQuantity 4

      countMultiplier 1

      gunsmith 5

      4 + (1*5) = 9

      9 Total kills for gunsmith 5


      mwha ha ha ha ha :D (Drac ref)

    • great thx, maybe you can add gunsmith in the config property names

  • wow a great idea. I might do some quests now lol

  • Do you have to complete the givin amount of kills in 1 raid to complete the Gunsmith quest?

    • You shouldn't. You may get that behaviour if there is a mod conflict though. Try changing the load order if you do see this

    • i don't know if Murders_Inc828 is having the exact same issue but on my part, the progress saves between raids but seemed overridden on server start.

    • Yes, it's my error. It does not reset on every raid or death but it resets after everytime I restart the server. I just disabled it for now.

    • I tried moving around this mod in the mod order. I put it first, last, middle and other places but I couldn't get it to not get overridden on server start.

    • for a workaround you can use Skipper mod to skip it when you know you killed enough.

  • Can I use this to just change requirements? Like kill quests to different specific weapons or weapon types? (I've wanted to do a Pistols Only run for a while)

    • No. This mod doesn't do that.

    • ah darn! i've been looking everywhere for a way to modify quest requirements to do this. This seemed so close! thanks for the reply though!

  • im getting this error
    https://imgur.com/a/VgdDep7

    • its also breaking my flee market, not letting me sell any items

    • Likely related to a bad config change

    • Getting the exact same error on my end

    • You have VCQL installed, and custom quests.
      Make sure to put this before any other quest mods in the load order.

    • same error here, even with putting this mod at the top of the load order


      i believe it's the Viper mod in my case, uninstalling all files relating to it has ceased the errors

  • For "itemRewardModifier" how does it work with single item rewards and unlock rewards?

    If I set it to 0.25, and the reward is 100 bullets, ok I get 25 bullets instead, makes sense.
    What if the reward is an Item Box?
    Do I get an item worth 25% of an item box, or do I get a dice roll to have a 25% chance at getting the item box?

    If I set "itemRewardModifier" to 0, will it still unlock items for sale if the reward is an item unlock, or will those be disabled as well?


    Sorry for asking weird questions

    • The item reward multiplier effects items, not unlocks. The lowest denomination is 1. It won't eliminate or reduce below that.

    • Makes sense, thanks!

  • In the config which is vanilla STP value? 0.7 or 1? Thanks

  • This is perfect, I've always wanted to reduce quest XP to make raids feel more impactful on leveling. Awesome!!
