Remember the good ol' days? When Tarkov had hair on its chest? When every raid was a true lesson and every piece of loot was a mystery waiting to be solved?

P.A.I.N. - Painstaking Agony Induced Nuisance

Somehow, our PMCs became walking encyclopedias, instantly recognizing every screw, optic, and pack of croutons in the city. Real PMCs are forged in ignorance and uncertainty. They don't just find loot; they identify, study, and master it.


Fear not, we've bottled that classic experience for you; it's P.A.I.N. — Painstaking Agony Induced Nuisance.


PAIN


It's time to separate the PMCs from the tourists. If you can't tell a Salewa from a bottle of saline without looking, you haven't earned the right to use it. Embrace the P.A.I.N.

Features:

  • Forgetting what an AI-2 looks like for the tenth time.
  • Is that a magazine or a banana? You'll never reload until you know!
  • Making you truly earn the knowledge that a T-Plug is, in fact, not a weapon.
  • The joy of discovering that you can't repair a broken leg with a splint, because you don't know what it looks like.

Important:

There are some important things to note about this mod:

  • It modifies Encyclopedias in any profile created on, or loaded into, the server. I don't consider this a big deal, as vanilla Encyclopedias are basically only used to track a handful of items at this point... All this is to say, if you install this mod, play with it, and then uninstall it, you may end up having to reexamine items, like keys, which you may have already examined prior to using this mod.
  • This mod tracks which profiles have been modified using a ./user/mods/refringe-pain/painedProfiles.json file. If you do not want your profile modified you can add your profile ID into this file. If this file is deleted your profiles will have their Encyclopedias reset again.

Install:

  1. Decompress the contents of the download into your root SPT directory.

Uninstall:

Make sure you've read and understand the above then delete the following:

  • ./user/mods/refringe-pain

Thumbs Up 2 ? 3 Heart 2 Happy 4 Thinking 2

  • Version 1.0.1

    Updated location of painedProfiles.json file to inside the mod directory.

  • Traumatic Brain Injury Simulator Deluxe.


    Would be fun with a SSS+ mode, where all the images are generic items and there are quicktime events and sometimes you drop the item because you're fumbly and sometimes it's just poop and then you need new gloves because that's not coming out of gore-tex and you know it.

  • I wanted to ask a question. First of all, the mod is really nice and I think it should be there, but there's something about it that seems to be trying too hard. Since our time is valuable, could you add a value that increases it by reviewing it? Could you add a setting like being able to examine 4 or 5 items at a time and analyze them faster? (sorry my english)

  • escape from alzheimers

    Happy 1 Thumbs Up 2

  • Can i beat EFT with Dementia?

  • interesting, but BEAR has no reason not to recognize an AK magazine, USEC has no reason not to recognize their signature M4A1

  • Clever versioning... PAIN 101. :D

    Class is now in session. I guess it's time to learn some shit all over again.

  • Hell yeah I missed exaniming, gave a sense of progression

  • Most PMCs are combat veterans so I'd imagine they'd be able to tell the difference between an AK and an M4 or a 9x19 round from a 9x18 round.


    Also who doesn't know what a key is? Or a bottle of water?

    • Can most combat veterans put balm on their lips and run with broken legs?

      Thinking 1

    • Ah, but what type of key? To where? And what's in the bottle? Is it water, or cat urine? Is it even a bottle, or is it a F22 Raptor? You'll never know unless you inspect it.

      Heart 2 Thinking 1

  • Finally, like in good old days. Thanks Refringe!

    Heart 1

  • I hope the recent image update in the description resolves your inquiries. :kekw:

    Thinking 1

  • How my grandad experiences each day of his life

  • Finally I can spend the first hours after character creation examining traders inventory's. Finally Tarkov can stop being so casual.

    Happy 1

  • Me when I forget where the mag release is on my weapon because I didn't check the magazine brand 8)

    • Exactly like in real life, our eyes are a progression system :D

  • Some of ya'll are new to Tarkov and it shows

    Happy 2

  • What exactly does this mod do? Does it randomize item names and icon? Make everything unexamined after profile creation? Something else entirely? What does "identify, study, master it" mean? The description is pretty and all but it doesn't exactly say anything

    Thumbs Up 1

  • It minds my boggle that some people actually can't seem to figure what this mod does, when it's literally clear after reading first few lines of the description Monkam
    Nice mod, though I'm not going to install it; I like my PMC knowing what a cheese is without having to examine it under a microscope bugcatmad

  • So i'm guessing it randomizes the name of all items?

  • I love how the description doesn't really say much about what this mod actually does

  • what does this mod even do lmao

  • WTF IS SOAP?!!?
