Take A Break 2.0.1

Please do not ask when mod authors will update their mods to 3.9.X
Bothering mod authors will lead to warnings and repeat offenses will lead to eventual bans.

Freezes time so you can go take a shit or sum during raid

Have you ever needed to go do something but couldn't cause you were in a raid and your PMC had some fat shit you didn't want to lose?


welp I got bored at 5AM and decided to write a script just for you


by pressing the base keybind P (or whatever you set it to) this script will freeze the in-game timescale so your PMC will be safe while you go make a sandwich


Install:

  • Open the zip file
  • Copy the `Kobrakon-TAB` folder into your spt\BepInEx\plugins

  • Version 2.0.1

    update

    Thumbs Up 1

  • Version 2.0.0

    Added patches to override the in-game ticks, so now hydration, energy, ballistics calculations etc. ticks will no longer be processed while paused, preventing issues with sudden dehydration/fatigue and death along with the ballistics calculators, physics, and AI bugging out after unpausing


    still haven't thought of a good way to stop raid time progressing but honestly you should just get a raid extender

  • Version 1.0.0

    Thanks 2

  • Man, honestly, a great mod. I have been caught too many times with my pants around my ankles, both in EFT and SPT...

    Please update <3

  • Still works with 3.8.3 :thumbup:

  • I hope you're considering updating this mod. I love it, even with it's limitations.

    • I tried one time on shorline.
      The game freezes, but i can turn around, but the time didn't stops.
      Its fine for me. :)

    • The time never stopped. That was normal. I don't want to try any mods that are not 3.8.0 because the SPT devs were clear not to do that cause it could corrupt the profile.

  • tried using on 3.8.0, fell through the world XD

    • You were warned not to use 3.7.6 versions with 3.8.0. LOL

  • The other Pause mod works fine - this one is broken because of weapon overheating glitch.

  • Dont recommend using this mod's functionality if theres even a slim chance you may be in a fight after you return. Pausing like this introduces a gamebreaking bug that causes the weapons to accumulate heat while the game is paused

  • When the original time is exceeded, the counter turns black, but I manage to extract anyways. That means I can stay as long as I want in a RAID?


    Thanks for making this possible :):thumbup:

  • Hey. I have an issue when I press "P" instead of pausing the game, my character's left-hand releases from the foregrip, and I can free move. Very odd. I updated my EFT main to the newest version and reinstalled the take-a-break mod. Any suggestions as to why this is happening?

    • thats just how the mod works, it's how you know you're paused

    • Are you messing with me :P Before the word paused would appear on the upper right of the screen.

  • Just had another user on the Discord report an issue of constant barrel overheating while using this mod

    • Ah, so that's what caused this issue. I was wondering...

  • sending my energy for 3.7.0 thanks =)

  • I'm experiencing significant bugs in a session after pausing.

    If i don't ever press P these things don't occur, but after i have paused the game i will get freezing, permanent barrel overheating, and characters vanishing upon death with only their gun left floating. Also time still progresses while paused; i'm unsure if this is intentional.

    I will follow this mod because it has good potential!

    I killed this PMC with MP5 on factory and his body was gone before it hit the floor - note blood on floor and floating gun. This happens to all PMCs/scavs until game restart.

  • There seems to be a bug where the game would pause itself without pressing P. It happens most often when opening the console, but sometimes it happens without me doing that as well.

  • I also have the issue whereby my gun will shoot, the game will lock up for a couple of seconds then the weapon muzzle will be glowing red and the gun will have a malfunction

    • This. Most common bug, saw that some person posted this problem on reddit too. Sadly I'm encountering this bug at least once in almost every raid. Besides that - this is an awesome mod! I think I couldn't play without the pause (kid, wife, work, etc.). Very grateful for your work!

    • I have experience this with an MXC while near D2. As i fired a bullet, the game locks up, returns after 1-2 seconds, then the barrel is permanently overheated.

  • I had a bug where if I was shooting and pause mid spray the red muzzle would stick to the gun all raid. It seems to have like corrupted the gun too, whenever I pause the game the muzzle goes red and starts smoking. It’s only THAT gun too.


    Not really an issue but figured ide let you know Kobra.

  • This mod worked for 3.5.7 but doesn't seem to be working with 3.6.1 anymore.
    Please consider updating it. It's such a simple feature yet very helpfull!

    Edit: Just downloaded the update. Thanks alot Kobrakon! <3

  • thank for the mod as a father is key to have this have a little girl and don´t want to see tarkov yet =) this is a must please after 3.6.0 does not work , appear in f12but not work , thanks again mate

  • Solely registered here to say thank you for that great mod. It's exactly how I enjoy playing Tarkov the most. Jumping into a raid, at some point hitting "P", getting a fresh coffee, continue playing, approaching a group of enemies, hitting "P", thinking without any rush what to do, continue, etc.


    It would be awesome and highly appreciated if you find the time to make it work again in 3.6.0.

  • I hope you are well!


    As someone that works throughout the day, this mod made it possible for me to play and pause when I was needed. I really hope you'll come back at some point and fix this. (and Immersive raids! but mainly this)

    • Second this! I don't know how to work with mods, but maybe I'll learn because having 3 kids and a wife, I need a pause button lol! I know I could extend raid time, but I'd prefer this.

  • Can confirm this doesn't work with 3.6.0.

  • Love this Mod!! Unfortunately the 3.6.0 update broke it somehow. ;( Any chance for an update?

  • It still doesn't stop the timer ;(

    • get yourself a lovely lil raid extender mod and set the raid time to something so ridiculous that the sun will die before you run out of time. you can now shit in peace. pepelaughing

    • the ServerValueModifier works perfect and gives 300 extra minutes if you set it to, can make a factory raid last 5 hours

      Thumbs Up 2

  • does it work for 3.5.7?

    • Just tried it and it seems to be working fine so far.

  • does it work for 3.5.6?

  • Seems to be working ok for 3.5.5 :thumbup:

  • learned the hard way to not pause game while the door is still closing...

    • :feelsbadman: I know what you mean.

  • I am having an issue where after pausing, I can no longer interact with the game world at all. No interacting with objects, shot I fired do not reg but still can get hit sometimes, not always. Is there any log I can provide?

  • This still works for 3.5.2 :)

    Thumbs Up 3 Happy 1

  • You should probably put in the Overview description that the mod goes into your bepinex/plugins folder, so as not to cause confusion amongst those not in the know.

    • bortnite 💀

    • finally I find out why it wasn't working, thank u daddy tyrian

    • yea but what files into what folder?

    • forbnite 💀

  • Great mod! Could you add some UI element to indicate the game is paused? Thank you!

  • Works fine and is much appreciated. :thumbup:


    I wonder if there's a way of making it so it only pauses within raid, since searching on flea for anything containing the letter P (or whatever the user sets the pause key to) will cause an awkward pause they might not realise has happened, and when they esc out from flea while obliviously paused, the screen doesn't go back to the main menu properly since it's paused - and at a glance and not realizing they've paused the game, it might look like the game has glitched out.


    Of course it's easily worked around by the user configuring the pause key to something they aren't going to be typing into a flea search, but if it's simple and possible to limit the pause mechanic to only work within raid, that would be handy (and save users confusion if they unknowingly pause via searching flea for an mp5, and then think the game has glitched out). :)
