  • The armour insert (soft + hard) blacklisting should now be fixed, please let me know if you still encounter bots spawning with the OP armour inserts equipped.

    Thumbs Up 3 Heart 1

  • for some reason any time i use the shell plates on any body armor with soft inserts. bullets seem to completely bypass the shell plates and hit only the soft armor. even after a full raid.

    the m34t plates cant go into any vests or carriers, but i think thats just because unrestricted plates hasnt been updated yet so theres no way to put it into the soft insert slot

  • Hey there Thunder! I wanted to give you a heads up regarding the SIG MCX Spear 6.8 60 round drum mag! For the tan version of the weapon, it's severely off center!

    image.png?ex=67148fb7&is=67133e37&hm=09c09b618038c3a7c1c248566132a872d0f1c77870224e1566339e100ce3977d&

  • Any plan on adding a fullauto Rotary GL?

    • I've tried previously and will inevitably try again at some point, but the way grenade launchers work in EFT is fucky to say the least. Don't hold your breath :S

      Heart 1

  • How can I use "Soft Insert whole body"? I don't know if it's applied even if I put it in Paca unlocked "Test" and band "ARArmband". Is it under test?



    ps: I can't speak English properly, so I used a translator. I'm sorry

    • I used to use unrestricted plates to allow soft inserts to be replaced on all armours, but unfortuantely it hasn't been updated to the latest version of SPT just yet.

  • Hey boss, for some reason the injectors just are not working, binding to hotkeys and dragging to limbs doesn't cause anything to happen at all, possible conflict with Realism? Not sure. Nothing seems to happen in the logs so I can't post those for you, is this known already?

    • I don't use Realism, but I can say that it will almost certainly not play nicely with this mod due to the scope of the changes it makes.

  • How do I make it so the traders have low stock on items or random stock either out of stock or in stock of items with realism as i have it enabled in realism however boris items are unaffected as well as some other custom traders. For some reason realism is only able to overwrite the stock of some traders not all custom ones?

    • This is almost definitely being caused by a conflict with the Realism mod - I don't use it myself, so cannot provide any assistance with compatibility errors, unfortunately.

    • Its okay I figured out a work around. Just using leaves-limited traders mod it lets you edit the stock of each trader.

  • Anyone know how to disable the locked soft armor plates?

  • Amazing mod 10/10! I'm a sucker for some fancy loot containers and the 60rd mags! Chefs Kiss!

  • I can't put any of the mini bb storage things to my secure container is their a reason for that like is it not possible? or am i doing something wrong

    • I use SVM to disable filters on secure containers, so I missed adding the small containers to the secure container allow list - this will be fixed in a future version, but for now you could use SVM to fix the issue.

  • This mod is kickass, excellent work and thank you for making it. Can't wait to see what you cook up next.

    Heart 1

  • Hey man would you be interested in helping me create a custom trader.
    with items like yours.
    id be willing to pay you, before we finishing
    for tutoring, discord voice and screen sharing teaching.
    mabey we can make a deal of some sort.

    or maby you´d be interrested in making a custom trader together.
    i have some cool ideas, i think you might like.

  • Ayo! Great mod, though I noticed the Items Case regular variant sells for 120,000 and can be sold for much much more. I've glanced around and am having trouble finding out how to either increase the price or remove it from purchase at this specific trader, thank you for your time and keep up the good work! :)

    • If you go into assets/database/borisbangski/assort.json and look for the block of code with "BorisItemsCaseTrade": [ (should be starting on line 343) you can change the count variable in there (which represents the cost of the item in Roubles) to whatever you'd like :thumbup:

      Thumbs Up 1

    • Hey appreciate the information!

      When I follow this it shows as :

      1250000

      Which is correct for the Trader specific version. But the vanilla Items case sold by this trader is 120,000 and I don't see the option to alter that specific one here.

    • Are you sure you mean the Items case and not the Lucky Scav Junkbox? That's the only thing I can find in my code that has a price of 120,000 roubles - it's literally directly below the items case block of code I pointed you to earlier, if you wanted to change the price of that instead.

      Happy 1

    • Omg, Im a fucking idiot. I do mean the Lucky Scav Junkbox lmfao

      Thumbs Up 1

    • Thank you Lmfao SMH

  • I wish I could go back and relive the moment I laid my eyes on the traders pic. I cried I laughed so hard.

  • is there a way to disable boris insurance?

    • You should be able to go into assets/database/borisbangski/base.json and set availability to false - let me know if it doesn't work and I can look into what's changed.

    • worked just fine, thank you :)

  • noticed the mini sicc case cant be put into gamma case, is this intentional or is there a way to allow it to go into the gamma case?

    • I use SVM to disable filters on secure containers, so I'd totally missed that - thanks for pointing it out, it's not intentional. I'll get that fixed for the next version.

      Heart 1

    • No dramas at all mate, i'll just do it through SVM :) Thanks for all your work!

  • The MOD update I have been waiting for, thank you :thumbup:

  • There seems to be a small bug where the ammunition is too big for the magazine :D


    • That's due to the bolter using the 12.7mm ammunition intended for the mounted machine guns - I had the option to hide the bullets inside the magazine, but thought this was preferrable.

  • After downloading this I played a few raids. First raid played normally, but as I went into the second raid I noticed none of my guns had recoil anymore.


    I also thought that Blacklist:true would mean bots wont spawn with the items, but every bot I've come across has the shell armor plates. some even had op grenades. I guess I'll try to make everything false to see if that means they will be blacklisted from spawning on bots.


    Since this isn't a Bepinex, the config must be done manually in the json files, which is fine, but not what I expected for a mod that makes so many changes.


    I've also experienced a bug when using weapons you've made full auto. If I spray them, sometimes they just break my game. I am unable to reload, inspect, check chamber, loot, move items, equip, unequip, etc. I think it's the busy hands bug.


    Edit: I've changed nothing but the blacklist settings, and loading into my first raid on I have recoil and gunfire sounds again. Editing those settings however I have stopped seeing the armor plates on enemies.

    • I've had reports of bots using the shell armor plates, that's caused by a conflicting mod although I couldn't tell you which one (it's probably one of the progression mods that change bot gear pools) - I've had people tell me that blacklisting my mod's items/trader in any mods that change bot generation has helped with this issue.


      The config option to blacklist ammo from bot generation is the only one that works currently, I haven't managed to figure out how to properly blacklist the grenades from being added to bot inventories yet.


      I've never had any reports of the guns in this mod causing the busy hands bug, so I'm afraid I can't offer any advice on that problem unless you have a particular error that's being thrown in your game when the problem happens that you could show me. The same applies to your bug regarding guns losing recoil.

    • I don't believe I have any progression mods, I can send you a modlist if you like. I also added a "Blacklist": false line to the Armour category in config and have yet to see any of the shell plates. I may have just gotten lucky though.


      How could I find the errors? I've checked the server window while playing, but saw nothing red. I assume there's logs elsewhere I can access to send you?

    • I can definitely take a look at your modlist to see if anything stands out as potentially problematic. I have only added code that blacklists the new ammunition variants added in this mod, so I'd say you've just been lucky in only encountering the shell plates some of the time.


      Regarding errors, other than the server window the only other place they'd show up is in the in-game console.

    • I've just done a number of test raids and have found a bot using the shell plates and the armour inserts added by this mod, so something has changed in how bot loadout generation works in SPT 3.9 - I'll look into adding a blacklist option for the armour in the next version :thumbup:

    • DM'd you my modlist :)

      Thumbs Up 1

  • Any chance for a Realism patch? Would be greatly appreciated lol

    • I don't use Realism myself so producing a patch for it is outside my realms of expertise I'm afraid, although I have no problem with someone else producing a patch for this.

    • I'll see if someone can help me :)

  • God thanks bro !!!

  • 1.Don't know what I am doing wrong but when place in the mod in the user/mods folder (correct folder?), and when I launch the game it loads all nice and all but when it goes to the "Profile loading" it infinitely loads and never finishes.

    I use other trader mods like (Artem, Lotus, Guiding Light, Gambler, Saria, Hideout Harry, trader scroll)


    2. I use fika mod (Is it not compatible with this mod?)


    3. I get this error in the console after it goes to the "Profile loading" stage:

    Don't know if this problem is on my end only, but when I remove this mod that specific error does not show up anymore, any suggestions?

    • /user/mods is the correct folder to put the mod in, I've never used the FIKA mod so have no idea whether this mod works with it or not, but based on what I understand about how FIKA works this mod should play nicely with it.


      It looks like your error is stemming from the game checking whether the traders you have installed need to be locked (like Jaeger and Ref upon starting a fresh profile) although it also looks like your server is trying to find a trader with the id usec - this seems like some sort of mod incompatibility issue, but unfortunately I don't think I can tell you much more than that as I've never seen this error in my playtesting.


      What version of SPT are you using, just out of interest?

    • I am using version 3.9.3.


      Its a shame it wont work, funny enough I had the same exact error with another trader called "Scorpion" trader mod.


      Maybe updating my spt would solve the issue you think?

    • I'd say it can't hurt to try updating to 3.9.5 and see if it changes your situation - the fact that another trader mod also gives you the same error tells me that this is definitely being caused by some sort of mod conflict with another mod you have installed, worst comes to the worst I recommend having either this mod or Scorpion installed (I'd also recommend doing this on a fresh profile so you don't affect your current playthrough) and try removing mods one by one until the problem goes away. If you do discover which mod is causing the conflict, let me know and I can look into potentially trying to figure out what the issue is.

      Thumbs Up 1

    • Just tested 150+mods and not a single of them had the problem, actually the problem was in my account, I used the profile editor to change my faction side with that account, that was the reason why this mod or the scorpion mod did not work


      anyway conflict is solved at result of having to start fresh (Corrupted account),

  • is there a way to disable or adjust insurance for boris?

    • if you go into assets/database/borisbangski/base.json there is an insurance config in there which you can use to disable insurance for boris by changing availability to be false :thumbup:

    • thank you :)

  • Hello, dont know if you already talked with someone about this, but for some reason Scavs are using the Plates of your trader, they are going around with vests like with vests BNTI like Gzhel or 3M or Kirasa with full lvl 6 plates and 99 dura, literally all bots that have a vest use it, i tried to add Blacklist on Armor and stuff like some other config already had, but didnt change anything, i have a bunch of mods added including Progression mod, maybe that is could be conflicting?

    • I'd look again into adding my armour plates to any blacklists the other mods you're running have, as by default the bots do not spawn with my plates in their vests/rigs.

    • I dont have any mod that add vests or rigs, only vanilla stuff.
      I tried loading with your mod being the FIrst, still they spawn with the Plates.

      https://ibb.co/Bq1sk36

    • For now i changed the Plates to Lvl 3.

    • Same they are all running lvl 6 plates even though I dont use it because it is too op.

    • Same issue as well. For me only scavs are carrying these plates

  • I looked up in the code and saw that some items are not presented in the trader.

    Those ones:

    "sliccBodyArmour"

    "zabraloLightBodyArmour"

    "soopahTrooperArmour"

    "genFourSpecialAssaultArmour"

    "gzhelGazelleArmour"

    "slimerHood"

    "taktikalMoustache"

    "specialAgentGlasses"


    Also, can you add config to adjust the capacity of mags, the usages of injectors? Thx a lot for your mod!


    P.S: it also appears that in the code your OP guns are builded and can actually work for bots usage, but for some reason in the trader they appear to be not assembled. Kek

    • Those items were added by this mod before BSG switched to the armour plate system that Tarkov now uses, and in adding the soft + hard armour plates in this mod those items effectively became redundant as the only changes they had were to their armour level and durability.


      I'll definitely take a look at making the mag capacity and injector uses configurable, also I'd totally forgotten that I never managed to get the weapon presets working again - I've now added that to my to-do list :thumbup:

      Thumbs Up 1

    • Thx a lot man for all your hard work!


      Will be waitin' for much more diverse and higher magazine capacities!

  • It is possible to add fillters to mini cases ?

    • If you go to src/BiggerBangContainers.ts and look for lines like the following: items[minisiccId]._props.Grids[0]._props.filters = []; you can paste in a list of comma-separated item ids in between the [] to add filters to each of the cases - as always, I recommend taking a backup before making any changes, just in case :thumbup:

    • I tried this and it threw errors saying it couldn't identify what it was. I know I used the correct formatting, and it threw errors using IDs from the same doc, and from item finder. Any ideas?

  • Is it possible to have quests translated into other languages, preferably through VCQL?


    • That's definitely something I can look into at some point, although I have no experience with VCQL so it won't happen quickly.
