Better Keys NG 1.3.2

Please do not ask when mod authors will update their mods to 3.10 or if they can upload older versions of their mods.
Bothering mod authors will lead to warnings and repeat offenses will lead to eventual bans.

This is a re-release of "BetterKeys Updated" by MaxLoo2 ported to SPT 3.10 I will gladly remove this if/when MaxLoo2 comes back and wants to take over his mod. But he stated on his mod page taking some time away from Tarkov and I could not reach him...

Only updated to work with SPT 3.10


WARNING: fixed the config key "behindTheLoock" to "behindTheLock" so please do not copy blindly your old config file...


OLD INFO:


Features & Changes


Colored background for keys and keycards according to which map they belongs to.

Maps, Extracts, Quests and Loot information in the item descriptions.


**[New]** Add description for junk keys (previously keys that are not used anywhere are not indicated as such by the mod)


**[New]** All features can be toggled on/ off in `config.json` (see below).

**[Updated]** Auto-update from GitHub: key information and locales can be updated without redownloading the whole mod.


**[Removed]** Key Tier List (I don't think it was actually enabled anyway).


Please refer to the original mod for more/ legacy descriptions: Better Keys [Most of the code have since be rewritten, but the idea of the mod is the same]

  • Something is driving my crazy. this mod is among several that aren't working for me and I can't figure out why. There must be some sort of conflict I'm not finding, as - installing as normal - I get no colour coding or item description changes for keys. Weirdly I'm having the same issue with FOV fix and More Checkmarks. Is there a dependency that I'm not seeing?

    • No dependency that I know of. I also use More Checkmarks without issues, but I never tried FOV fix.


      This mod is a simple server side mod with only some javascript functions. We implement the "IPostDBLoadModAsync" interface to manipulate objects from the database after it has been loaded. (I assume that More Checkmarks has the same kind of implementation, never looked at the code though)


      If the mod loads properly you should see in your server console something along the lines of: "[${_package.name}-${_package.version}] Added info and background colors to all keys/ keycards"


      If you don't see this it means the mod did not execute its main function properly. Can you confirm what you see at the server console ?


      On my server after the mod finishes working I can see:


      [betterkeys-ng] Loaded: Customs
      [betterkeys-ng] Loaded: Factory
      [betterkeys-ng] Loaded: Ground Zero
      [betterkeys-ng] Loaded: Interchange
      [betterkeys-ng] Loaded: Lighthouse
      [betterkeys-ng] Loaded: Reserve
      [betterkeys-ng] Loaded: Shoreline
      [betterkeys-ng] Loaded: Streets of Tarkov
      [betterkeys-ng] Loaded: The Lab
      [betterkeys-ng] Loaded: Woods
      [betterkeys-ng-1.3.1] Added info and background colors to all keys/ keycards

    • I tried reinstalling it again, and I do see those. Everything works now. I wasn't paying close enough attention to what I was removing to realize what was conflicting with it. Thanks for your help, sorry I can't be of any.

  • OK,


    I updated the download link again since I managed to produce build artifacts inside the source repository and auto publish them to a "package registry". In case some people search in the future:


    https://gitlab.com/flir063-spt/betterkeys-ng/-/packages


    this is the registry page where all the releases will be auto uploaded each time I push a tag to the repository.


    the v1.3.1 release URL has been updated to use this new feature instead of the cranky separate repository I had initially setup to have a downloadable file ASAP.


    Let me know if any issue arises.

    Let's hope we're good with the logistics and I can go back to running on shoreline to make Prapor happy :p

  • Got it!!!


    I have setup a gitlab account and made it public...


    D/L link and source code link has been updated to reflect this.


    I'll clean up the mess gradually... Thanks for your patience and please report any missing key with as much details as possible so I can add them to the database :p


    Happy escaping all.

  • My github account has been "flagged" and removed from public view. The support says it may take up to 7 days to respond :p


    I'll create a gitlab account (already try google and they dont send SMS to my phone apparently so I can't create a new drive account with them ...)


    I'll give more info as soon as I complete the transfer to gitlab...

    I tested it in another web browser and I confirm repository is public

    • no its not :c

    • it aint

    • Well it IS public but github flagged the account I created as suspicious and thus returns 404 to anyone but me :(
