Coyote Trader (3.9.X Update)
Do you think Ground Zero and Labs need more quests? Do you use Narcotic's PTT config and Realism, and find yourself constantly on GZ? Then this is the trader for you!

In the quest "Taking Mid Control" the requirement says "Eliminate PMCs on the main road". It should read: "Eliminate PMCs on the main road with any AKM variant". Will be fixed in next update.


Coyote is a new task focused trader that adds 68 new quests for you to complete.


Coyote is compatible with 3.8+ versions.



What is Coyote?


Inspired by the HEAT (1995) film, he is a trader primarily focused on giving tasks for the map Ground Zero and Labs. He currently has 68 fully functional quests.



Why Ground Zero?


There seems to be a criminal lack of tasks for GZ. Ground Zero is my favorite map because it’s the most urban map with the best performance, simple to learn and fun to play. Since writing this I also added some Labs quests because I started running labs like crazy and it’s been fun so YEAH.



What does he sell? Any new custom items?


Currently there is a small selection of items that he sells. (See item stock below) There are no plans to implement new items into the game at this moment.



Notable items in stock:


Blue Fuel [LL2] ($1010)

Grenade Case [LL2] ($2100)

Holodilnick [LL2] ($2220)


THICC Case [LL3] ($96000)

Money Case [LL3] ($2700)

Junk Box [LL3] ($7000)


Weapon Case [LL4] ($28000)

Keycard Holder [LL4] ($1650)

Keytool [LL4] ($3300)


I tried adding weapons into the shop but was running into problems. (skill issue) They might appear in a future update. If anyone wants to take a look at the code and help me out that would be sick.


Level 4 is supposed to be a serious grind only accessed by the most dedicated questers.



How do I install?


After installing VCQL (see link above), using 7zip, drag and drop the “user” folder from CoyoteTrader zip into your SPT directory.






Known bugs/issues:


Quests where you use a MS2000 Marker use the LeaveItemAtLocation condition instead of PlaceBeacon. Not a problem just a footnote.


- In mission "Gymtimidation" subtask: Eliminate 10 Pmcs can be completed in other maps.

- In mission "The Heist Part 6" can be completed by turning in 5m roubles found in raid only.


In the quest "Taking Mid Control" the requirement says "Eliminate PMCs on the main road". It should read: "Eliminate PMCs on the main road with any AKM variant". Will be fixed in next update.

Besides the above... None at the moment. Please let me know in the comments if something is not working as intended. I have tested this mod with most other major mods besides realism.



Realism compatibility?


I do not play with realism and this mod has not been tested with it. I have no idea if it works with it or not and have no intention of adding compatibility patches for it without some help. (It should work but I always see comments about realism changing prices so the prices may not be balanced.)



Future plans?


More quests on more maps.


Trying to figure out the weapons store.


Better/more balanced rewards.


Improving localization.


Taking a break from racking my brain in VSCode.



Disclaimer


This is my first mod for SPT. As this mod is coded by an atomic smooth brain, I recommended to back up your profiles before installing this mod.

    If you downloaded version 1.0.5 you must update because I broke the quest start requirements.

  • It would be awesome to have this mod 3.9 compatible.

  • 3.9 please :)

  • Just curious, is there still a plan to update for 3.9?


    I only ask, because I was debating updating the code locally to be able to progress the original quests but didn’t want to conflict if you were actively updating.

    • Just to update, I went ahead and updated the mod for 3.9 locally using the diff from the Scorpion mod! https://github.com/acidphantas…n/compare/0.10.0...0.11.0. Since there are a lot of similarities in implementation, it was fairly straightforward.

    • Would you mind sharing the updated mod? Been waiting for it since the release of 3.9

      Thumbs Up 1

    • @ilindrael did you add sandbox_high to all the quest locations and zones? thats mainly why I havent gotten around to updating yet because I'm still on 3.8

    • @Clog Yes, it’s required to update the locations array for the quests to include both Sandbox and Sandbox_high. For locations, I believe it’s required to duplicate each entry and set its location to Sandbox_high. I realized these things when tinkering with quest creation for a separate mod but didn’t update my local instance of Coyote for it just yet.

    • ilindrael Were you able to get permission to upload your 3.9 version?

  • 3.9.* ?

  • This was quickly one of my favorite Trader mods to come out of the end of 3.8's lifecycle. I sincerely hope that it makes its way into future versions of the game so it can become a long-standing addition to my trader/quest mods like Lotus and Scorpion.

  • I'm not sure if I'm just smooth brained or what but I can not find the hideout in the nakatani building for the first quest. Any help or guides would be much appreciated.

    • Its on the ground floor, theres an elevator torn open with a lootable grenade case in the opening

    • when i checked game files i dont think the coyote trader was properly installed. the quests showed in the game menu but there was not a locked coyote trader so thats why i dont think i was able to complete.

    • what spt version are you on?

    • 3.90

    • Well there's your problem. This mod is compatible with v3.8, not 3.9.

  • Hi Clog, i really like your trader and your mission design!

    And I met some issue while complete the mission:
    - In mission "Gymtimidation" subtask: Eliminate 10 Pmcs can be completed in other maps.

    - In mission "The Heist Part 6" can be completed by turning in 5m roubles found in raid only.


    Great work anyway! Good job!

  • Any chance of adding an assort.json file like other traders have in the db folder so we can edit Coyote's inventory? I think this is the only trader I've ever seen without an assort.json so idk where to change the prices of the items he sells lol Either that or maybe a config with a global price multiplier for everything he sells so we can, for example, increase his prices by 1.2x or something along those lines?

    Thumbs Up 1

    • Upvote on this.
      Also a general trader price multiplier would be appreciated

  • I hope my guide will help to complete Upgrading security quest ^^

    Heart 1

    • Nice guide, but perhaps the creator can adjust it so it doesn't require having to climb things to install a camera? I was literally going crazy withy these 2 to the point I used the Skipper mod to skip these 2. I couldn't figure out how to get on to the vehicle and it never occurred to me to jump on the ATM machine since we never had to do that before with other quests.

    • Seems like the creator didn't test it with minor strengh skill

  • Spent 10 min trying to figure out where to place the cameras for Upgrading Security before READING the quest description and going right to the spots.


    5/7 would recommend this mod to friends.

    Happy 1

  • So I am having an issues with the Quest, "Upgrading Security". I can't find the, or more likely reach, the plant point for the wifi camera in the Nakatani Lobby. I am using the CompassHUD mod to help with location points. And unless it's not giving me the right location (right above the atm) , it's impossible or bugged to reach.


    Is anyone else having this issue?

    • Heart 1

  • Hi. About Green Reinforcements - can you tell me where exactly i need to place those flares. I'am confused(

    • I have made a guide for this quest

      hope it would be helpfull ^^


      Thanks to @Clog

      Heart 1 Thumbs Up 1

    • Thank you so much for the walkthrough! I feel awkward knowing that I did enter the right underground utility room, but I must have missed the prompt. That's on me lmao

    • As it turns out, I didn't miss the prompt; I think my quest is straight up bugged. I entered the exact same spot in tartowers, and the same place in the utility room, but didn't receive a prompt to place down the flares despite having six on my person.


      Any ideas on how to fix that??

  • Yo Clog, I am stuck on Take Out quest, I have found everywhere except for the Coffee Maniac, be a pal and help me out please ^^


    Love the mod so far

    • CoffeManiac is the building southwest of the TerraGroup building entrance.


      Could you in return help me out with finding UnderWay? ;)

    • If I'm not mistaken it's in the Fusion building upper floor? it's in a hallway among some office cubicles I think. I've been running around Ground Zero for hours trying to find all of them, so good luck man :D ;(

      ? 1

    • If it's not in Fusion it's in one of the main buildings with an accessible upper floor, and the actual Underway shop is on said upper floor

    • Ah the Capital building, took a gamble between the main big ones, at least I got the upper floor part right :D

  • Hey Clog, love the idea for this mod.


    I'm having a similar issue to Helix, tried updating the mod from 1.0.4 to 1.0.6 with no avail. One thing I'm curious about, when installing the mod, dropping in the folders from the zip, it gives the option to overwrite some files. It does this with other mods I've installed as well. Is it possible that that is a conflict I need to address? When I went through installing all of the mods I'm using, it did that multiple times, and I declined the overwrite. Or am I doing something wrong in that regard?


    Gonna try a full fresh install of SPT and the mods I'm using to see if I did something wonky there, thought I had the install order right. I even only installed a few at a time, then started up the server to make sure there weren't problems.


    Just curious for your insight if the file overwrite thing is not what I'm supposed to be doing. I'm having a similar issue with another trader mod Scorpion, with not being able to place the markers on ambulances on GZ, so I'm wondering if the issue is related.


    Anyway, sorry for the wall of text, just trying to give context. Thanks for the hard work on the mod.

    • Okay firstly, yes you are wrong in declining the overwrite. Not a single file from my mod should overwrite any other mod. If something is asking you to overwrite its because they have the same name and must be updated.


      Secondly, you really shouldnt be messing with the load order. Not sure why people do but the default order has always worked for me even with 48 server mods. It goes alphabetically off the names of mods. Thats why SAIN is named zSolaraintSAIN.


      Thirdly, if you are having trouble placing markers (Ive had this issue in the past and seems like a FIKA issue) clear your temp files in the SPT launcher.


      If you are having troubles I suspect you are installing mods wrong because anyone who installs it correctly should not have this issue. Either that or a load order issue but I have no experience or recommendations for that.

  • So it looks like with the new version you may have OVER fixed Him.


    I haven't completed "Elusive Criminal" yet, but I have Coyote unlocked and he gave me "Unexpected Introduction".


    Started a completely clean profile to test, went and did Burning Rubber cause I didnt realize it wasnt required, then I went back to skier and then checked coyote.

    • Not sure why thats the case for you, as he is locked on every new profile I start. Seems like a fringe case but I wouldnt worry too much about it just let me know if anything else is not working as seemingly intended.

    • All good, yeah seems to work fine doing the 2 quests. Will keep an eye on progression with me and the folks on my server.

  • After BSG quests - GZ is ugly map.

    After Coyote quests, this is a great map! Thank you!

    Love this Tarkov!

    Heart 1

  • I saaw in your versions that i have to update because of the quest start requirements, do i need to update if ive already done the quests

    • Depends on what version, if you are on 1.0.5 i would definitely recommend updating because I broke the quest,json file by adding an extra digit in the wrong spot.

      if you are still on 1.0.4 you dont really have to until you get to the quest 60th quest "Corporate Espionage" as that one had a bug that made it unable to complete.

      TLDR: yes

    • roger, will do, thank you for the mod, ive been digging the new quests

  • Hi,

    regarding Green Reinforcements: You want me to place 6 flares but give me 3... with green flares level locked? How should this work? Am I going to have to do 3 runs extra only to steal 3 flares from the dead scav???

    Or are the 2 objectives one in fact?

    Would be nice to hear from ya.


    Thanks


    EDIT: I just saw that also the RSPs from Jaeger LL2 are locked too, then these locks are probably applied by Realism. Ok, that makes that whole thing very tedious then...

    • Coyote sells green signal flares at loyalty level 1. Ive already mentioned this mod will not be working as intended with realism.

      Since you realism users love cock and ball torture, go grab it off the dead scav by mira ave. 8o Not sure what you want from me. 3 extra runs are just drops in the bucket as you will probably run about 70+ runs on GZ if you are trying to complete all quests.

      Heart 1 Happy 1

    • I did read that note specifically re compatibility patches, yes, which has nothing to do with that here. But of course you cannot know what is being locked and not if you are not playing it. I want nothing from you, I just wanted to know something and wrote the message to quick, hence the edit...


      No prob I will get the flares.

      Are there more quests (without any details) where I have to get special items myself upfront in order to do the quest? Because then I have to think of more creative solutions.


      Thanks

    • "3 extra runs are just drops in the bucket as you will probably run about 70+ runs on GZ if you are trying to complete all quests."


      That is why I want it to work for me :) There will be a solution for everything "Realism" that might be coming up, can't be that much... :thumbup:

  • I can confirm on the newest version 1.0.6 that completing Elusive Criminal for Skier will unlock Coyote even though I had previously failed Burning Rubber, leaving him locked on that same profile :evil: Thanks Clog!

    Heart 1

  • This trader is locked for me. How do I unlock him?


    I'm on the latest version


    Thx

    • Complete Elusive Criminal through Skier.

  • thanks for the fix clog, sorry i posted in acids mod by mistake. using both mods so confused myself

    Thumbs Up 1

  • Maybe it's just a skill issue but I've gone through the Nakatani building twice, and extracted out of it twice, but I'm still unable to complete the first mission (elusive criminal); what exactly am I looking for with regards to the hideout?

    • When installing, make sure you drag in both Coyote Trader and Virtual Custom Quest Loader. The VCQL folder does not contain the VCQL mod, only the files needed for the trader to work. Obviously make sure VCQL is installed itself as well. If its still not working send me a video of you trying to complete the quest and Ill see if any funny business is going on.

    • Do you think load order's an issue at all? I dont really know how to use the load order editor, but I do have VCQL at the very bottom of the list.

  • I can't find the Koener Bar & Grill on any of the maps online. Help?

    • Heart 1

    • Dudeitron, if i were you, i would take a look at the dynamic maps mod, it has markers for all the objectives, even with the custom quests, extremely useful

    • Aww but that ruins all the fun of running around like a chicken with his head cut off looking for random store names :saint:

  • Anyone knows where the 2 coffee joy shops are?
