Unicorn 1.1

So play on another preset? morescavs is hardcoded in donuts.dll, that's not something I can remove or change. If you want more scavs to spawn on live-like, simply copy the values of morescavs across the board.

I am. Works fine. But it will not work with the test build in the Donuts channel of the Spt Discord.

Thank you, luckily I'm still using SWAG + DONUTS 3.5.1 and it seems to work! I'll give it a try! Thanks for the mod creation and support!

You're good mate. This will eventually be updated to work with the new Donuts. But later on when it's stable.

Two of the same bosses is a Swag issue. You can do whatever you want. But you must disable Swag bosses if something else controls them.

Running into 2 sets of Kaban and Goons now and then. With disabling SWAG bosses, does that mean changing the following to false? in bossConfig.json

"Bosses": {"useGlobalBossSpawnChance": true,

I would like to point out that this isn't a Unicorn issue. Now, yes. You can disable SWAG bosses and let vanilla game handle it. You have to scroll all the way to the bottom for disable bosses.

Probably a bug. Increase the minimum distance to 50-70.

Is there a chance they spawned before that? As in on the map when you already pulled it?

I set a 100% spawn chance in the config. But if I remember correctly, they spawn with some probability when the power is turned on, or they should already be hanging out in the command center. I could be wrong.

I have found them roaming the center before that. Most likely, everything is as it should be.

You just drag the BepInEx folder from this. Ignore the user folder.

Strange... I get spawns just fine. Did you edit anything?

I did an edit on my post after you replied. Also I only edited the boss spawn chance time from -1 to 75.

Here's my settings.

Copy my exact settings and try it out.

This is all I'm getting, 4 scavs and a boss. I'll try post in SWAG and see if he knows how to fix it

Did you try my settings?

Make sure to lower distance between you and bot, and bot vs bot to make them spawn. Since there's so many spawn points, it's not a guarantee for them to spawn often on the same spawn point. As for road, there's about 10 spawn points near there.

1. I don't have anything. There's over 1000 spawns points and it would take countless hours to translate every spawn point onto a map, or even a list. The idea behind this was to add unpredictability into the game. I'm sure Donuts itself doesn't have a map behind it. With that said, Donuts most likely uses vanilla Tarkov spawns and those have been well documented throughout the years since "release."

Some of the json files have defined zones, for example, Dorms, Fortress, etc. This because I remade the spawns for bosses and hence documented it well.

2. You can download this and only use BepInEx which holds new spawn points for PMC's and Scavs. However, I highly recommend using the files for Swag. It opens up boss spawns at new areas they've never been before. Like Goons at Dorms.

3. Well, there's 3 videos by StarVox under the tab "Community Content - YouTube" that should somewhat showcase the new spawns. As for action, this all depends on how far or close you allow bots to spawn to you and other bots, and of course on your Donuts cap. The higher the bot count, the chance for more spawns, and therefore more "action" I guess.

Thanks for such a detailed and quick answer.
1. Got ya. Donuts does have the documentation with each zone explained and shown on a map, yeah. Problem is, those zones are too...big? I can't, for example, make scavs spawn on the old gas station on customs - I have to use much wider "zone black" which includes not only the gas station, but crackhouse and such, so the spawn is never guaranteed. Unless I find and edit spawn points precisely, which is too much work for me, haha.
2. Thanks for advice, I'll try it out in the future for sure. For now, I'd like to stick with vanilla boss spawns. You know, lore and such. Besides, I play with noobies on Fika, so we'd like to avoid total chaos for now if possible.
3. Okay, I'll check out those videos. My main concern is not the action itself, but corpses. I'd like to not see piles of unlooted corpses everywhere, makes the game kinda too easy. Which was the case when we tried "MOAR" recently. I do have looting bots and all other must-have packages, but it's not enough to get rid of free loot. Unfortunately, Late To The Party doesn't work with Fika, otherwise free loot on corpses wouldn't be a problem.

In short, what I want I guess is vanilla SWAGNUTS, but with more variety, like in the old days. Where you could meet bots camping bunker extracts on woods, in D2 and so on.
Which I suppose Unicorn can do, so I'll go and check it out now.
Thanks again! I'll report after I'll play for a bit.

1. Oh there's spawns points everywhere. There's tons on Dorms, a few near Gas Station, tons at Fortress, etc. Trust me, I have thought about everything. This mod has been praised a ton for breathing new life into the game.

2. Future Swag + Donuts will ditch Swag and bosses will be handled with Donuts. Hopefully Props make it so that vanilla code has default boss spawns. I will however gives bosses the same spawns as bots have now, almost every single one.

3. There is a mod to remove corpses from the map. This will remove dead bodies based on distance and time. Highly useful!

PS, I am off to bed so I'll reply in about 6-7 hours. ADHD so I wont sleep for long.

Hi again. So far it's been working great but while trying to make it so there's lots of scavs and fewer pmcs in raids, I broke something and scavs almost don't spawn.
Any good advice on how to make it so there is fewer PMCs and more scavs? Maybe I didn't get something.
What I did was I edited patterns, so PMCs groups have a lower chance to spawn and I edited scav cooldowns to be lower. I think I messed up somewhere there.
If you don't mind, can you explain if I did something wrong, and how can I do it right?
Thank you.

It's really hard to pinpoint what you did if I can't see the files. If you have Discord, join the Spt one, check under server boosters for my name and dm me the affected files.

I'm glad it brings a fresh breeze of air into your experience. That was always the goal.

Press F9 again or the cross up top.

You mean as an optional folder?

Oh I thought that green tab in the version 1.1 is meant for general install, turns out it's for updating, my bad then.

I know, it's a bit weird. Whatever, I just make mods

I mean there is a slight chance, but for the most part it should work. There's this theory in the community that making chances to Swag or Donuts messes with something. But it's just a theory. Just make sure to install it properly and everything should work.

Simply drag the BepInEx folder only and ignore the user folder. Requires Donuts first.

thanks man you're the best

No you're the best!

Is this a consistent issue? Like it happens every raid(10 in a row)?

What is your cap on? If you allow say 5 PMC's to spawn on Woods, and all 5 spawn as a group on Woods, you would experience that often. But if you allow say 9 PMC's, and a max group can only be 5, you can't get all of them there.

Is your minimum setting between botVSbot on? Please set it to at least 90 on maps like Woods, Shoreline and Lighthouse.

You can try to lower the weight of groups of enemies to spread them out a bit more. This screenshot below explains how the weight of groups work.

I noticed it on like 3 or 4 woods raids out of maybe 5. My max PMCs for woods is 9. My group chance is unchanged. My minimum botVSbot was set to 75 im thinking I might increase to about 150. Yea I may lower the chance of 5 mans also to maybe spread them out a little bit. Thanks gonna look into the settings you posted and make a few changes

Even so, you shouldn't get most spawns at Sawmill. There is nothing with Unicorn that forces spawns. Every single spawn is random and will be chosen by the dll.

The group chance can of course play a huge part in it. But I doubt it.

Do you have Realism or another mod controlling spawns?

I do have realism but I have all the bot changes off. I am using Acids Progressive bot system but its his RC version from his discord thread but I dont think that mod touches bot spawns

Very strange indeed. Try what you wrote and see if you notice a change. You should have PMC's spawn all over the map.

If you have Looting Bots, or exfils enabled for PMC's through Sain, etc, that's why raids might seem barren. Please confirm with a bot monitoring mod or Dynamic Maps that you actually do get PMC's to spawn.

As for issues, I don't tweak any code. Unicorn simply adds more locations for them to spawn on. Unicorn can't alter how many that spawn, or anything about what they do.

Getting a lot of Bears is an issue non related to this. To temporarily fix that, please open the Donuts F9 menu in game > Main Settings > Bot Attributes > PMC Faction Ratio and set that to 65/70.

If you wanna tweak how many of each class can spawn, go to SPT > BepInEx > plugins > dvize.Donuts > ScenarioConfig.json and chance these values for the preset you're using. There's one section for PMC and one for Scav for each preset. PS, the morescavs preset allows scavs to spawn on Labs.

Edit: Which preset are you using?

Sorry for multiple posts, seeing these as I scroll through.

For me I have dynamic maps and all orange arrows appear, meaning just scavs. I am using live like preset.

No. Please make sure that your bossConfig.json and config.json located at user/mods/SWAG/config have true enabled for GlobalSpawnChance.

Should look like this;

"Bosses": {

    "useGlobalBossSpawnChance": true,

If false, it'll use the spawn chances within each boss.json, but even if they were false, my files are vanilla SWAG which is about 35%. If you still get bosses every raid, there's something funky going on. In that case, please check your MOAR or Realism boss configs. If it still happens, it's just that random bug bosses have in 3.9.

Awesome, I think I totally misunderstood the other comment talking about that.

Sorry for the silly question and thank you for an awesome mod and for your help!!!

On further inspection it must be that bug, I have all this set the suggested way. Thanks again!

You're good.

I've had periods where Reshala spawned nearly every game, and I have my boss chance at 13%. It comes and goes in waves.

Tarkov is cursed as always. I will bring a lot more ammo from here on 😂

Indeed. Half of the encounters I have, I hear their footsteps. Majority of them are silent af. Good game.

That's not suppose to happen. Have you allowed Realism to control boss spawns? Or MOAR?

Are you on Discord? Find the Donuts channel in the official Spt Discord and write there.

I don't have issues with boss spawns at all, but I do some have, and some have certain bosses not work while others do.

Do SWAG spawns work on all other maps?

Do you use Realism?

I do not use realism.

I've had bosses on other maps. Did not play reserve or labs though so IDK about raiders but I encountered goons, reshala and sanitar

Strange. Code wise, there's nothing broken in the file that calls for Rogues. What happens if you enable 90% for Rogues on Customs, Interchange, etc? Please try that if you have time.

will do and tell you what as soon as I can. Thanks !

oh, btw, can I test with my scav or does it have to be with the PMC ?

ta !

What is your cap on and which preset are you on?

Ive tried like-like, starting pmcs only live-like, and impossible raids all with a pmc cap of 12

Which area are they all spawning in? Is it consistent as in every raid?

I don't know what the boss changes in Realism does. But I have found that bosses spawn in my game and my swag config.json is set to false.

"With the 'Spawn Tweaks' config option enabled bosses, Rogues and Raiders can spawn on more maps than standard EFT. Bosses will still mostly spawn on their "main" map and where you'd normally expect to find them, but may also spawn on some other maps in places you won't expect. Rogues and Raiders are much more common and found across more maps. Boss spawns start off with a very low chance that increases as you level up."

If you turn those values to true, Unicorn boss spawn wont work. If you prefer Realism, turn those to true.

1.0 added the [user] folder which has new boss spawns. If you don't want that, skip 1.0 and stick with 0.9. I'll specify in future versions if you need to update BepInEx. There will be a huge overhaul for Reserve and Shoreline eventually, but not for a while.

Gotcha. Thanks.

No you're awesome.

Yes. At the moment, every faction can use all zones and it does not call for hotspots. I couldn't figure out what it was and so I left it. If you have any insight, do let me know and I'll consider changing that.

Yes, but also, no clue how. That's all SWAG, and I haven't touched SWAG yet. If I can figure it out, I will do that too.

Would love to see it. Thank you for quick response

I too would love to see it. Have a good weekend!

yeah have to weigh in on this one I remember Lua spawn points (I think) having snipers on the different towers around customs. it was cool. anyway good luck with that. hope you can pull it off. and thanks again.

I have a theory on how to make new boss spawns / scav / raider / goons, etc. The issue is that boss spawn aren't consistent at the moment, and no one really knows why. Until that's fixed, new spawns for SWAG wont come. But I want to, and I will when I can.

It is a Client Mod replacement technically, but listing it under Client Mods asks for a public depository. To me, that sounds like Github, and I don't want to. I've been meaning to contact staff about this, but I forget all the time...

Not a problem, just noticed it in case it mattered. Thanks

Being fixed eventually.

Strange. There was spawn inside, but I suppose the rest made up a majority. This time around, the two floors should have more than the rest. Let me know if it's improved at all!

Like in spawn points? Or bots spawning?

Increase your cap.

bot spawns please

Go to SPT\BepInEx\plugins\dvize.Donuts > Open "ScenarioConfig.json"

Edit the numbers for the preset you use, save, and launch into SPT. Confirm with a bot monitoring tool or Dynamic Maps to confirm that bots spawn.

If they spawn but are no where near you, please decrease minimum distance to player in the Donuts F9 menu under "Spawn Settings"

thanks heaps, your mod is great.

Do you have despawn on? If yes, Donuts will try to despawn the bot farthest away from you.

Now I expect you to write that there were more bots farther from him, and it's probably just a random Donuts removing him anyways. But that's Donuts doing what it's suppose to, but pulling someone from the game that's 100 meters away is a bit odd. Luckily Unicorn only adds spawn points, but I suppose there is an odd chance that the pattern and some value did something.

If it happens consistently, like a few times per raid, several raids in a row, let me know.

Edit: You can use regular BepInEx. I have been told that the nerfed patterns are useless since you can configure Donuts F9 to spawn 1-5 groups less often. I don't know where in the menu, but I will investigate asap!

ok ill try regular pattern and after few raids tell if its ok or not thanks! Used regular and got it on customs, ill try vanilla donuts now to check now floating bot in air

try with vanilla donuts on customs,at first it seems good , but then - pmc carousele

so unicorn is good!

Both look quite funny, especially the carousel. Sadly the carousel is vanilla Eft behaviour. And the floating bot I believe is standing on something, but since you're freecaming, it's unloaded.

Of course Unicorn is good, I mean, I made it
