Bothering mod authors will lead to warnings and repeat offenses will lead to bans.
Due to public "outrage" (one singular individual told me so) i ve noticed that the presets are cheap and who even uses euros lol.
NEWSFLASH: There is a config file
for price adjustment and currency selection
You can add external json files now. You copy the desired userbuilds.weaponBuilds to an indepedent .json file and then put the file in the presets directory. The file should be like the following. You can have multiple files, but each file can have multiple presets.
If you dont want to have any additional presets just delete all the contents of the presets directory.
If the trader is empty: make sure your profile has any weapon presets or you have external files.
If it doesnt show latest changes of weapons you can click the refresh store button next to trader thumbnail.
Installation Guide as instructed to do so
If you have many traders and you need the trader scroller from KAENO
YOU ARE FREE TO COPY IT AND RE RELEASE IT AS YOU PLEASE WITHOUT NOTIFYING ME.
Thank you kikirio for staticRouterModService code part!
Thank you everyone that your free time for us!

Ariess
good evening good sir, um, i seem to have an error with your latest update. using fika with friend and all, i have received an error.
alexkarpen Author
You propably and somehow have an empty build.
I will add a guard in future release though.
Do the following at /user/mods/Hephaestus/src/mod.ts
line 311
Ariess
Back with an update, I added the coded line and refreshed the trader to show friends preset, tried to purchased their presets again and i still get the infinite loading circle. purchase my preset is fine. but we were testing to see if we can purchase each others presets.
alexkarpen Author
for a clarification, each profile can buy it's own presets right?
Mr-Funki
If i use external. json file, the given name of the weapon build doesent show. Is there a possibility to change that?
Zodaxa
only learned of this mod after 3.11 and thought the idea was really cool, glad it's brought back so quickly~
elementjonx216
You sir are a gentlemen and a scholar...
alexkarpen Author
Thank you for your kind words Mr. Elementjox216,
have an astonishing day!
elementjonx216
Love this mod hope it continues on 3.11
Ashy1986
Why is my question being deleted? I just wanted to know if there will be an update to 3.11.
alexkarpen Author
i didnt delete anything, propably they are deleting comments en masse.
3.11 is coming soon
Ashy1986
ok

Due to a lot of users asking mod authors about updates, there are rules and safe guards in place to prevent people from asking (or bothering) mod authors and admin. If you haven't noticed there is a big yellow banner at the top of the page about this but people somehow continue to gloss over it and ask anyway.
In the last month alone 19 users have been banned for continuous rule breaking. We don't like to ban people but some just don't read or listen

Abood
You dont know how relived I am to find this mod updated to 3.10 I had to manually work it out in 3.7.3, So THANK YOU!
alexkarpen Author
i think i never missed a version (although i am not actively playing SPT these days, i respect the people that downloaded the mod)
Glad you like it!
Ariess
Quick question! Does it this work with Fika? as in like will i be able to see friends weapon presets too? Just curious before i install
alexkarpen Author
Yes and check config.
DarkIper91
hello guys, i have a question about this mod. once installed how do you insert a custom weapon? do you have to go through the .json file? i built and saved some weapons. will the seller see them automatically? thx
alexkarpen Author
The easy way is to create a weapon preset in the game and when you save it. It should be available for purchase.

Putting you mod above the live free market mod seems to fixed it
Simpleton.Bot
I love the concept of this mod, but am struggling to get preset .json files to "work". Maybe i'm doing something wrong, but I can not find answers in the comments below. After creating a preset file and storing it in the .\presets dir I see the following in the SPT 3.10.4 server monitor:
Hephaestus: Loaded/Refreshed 3 external builds from external sources.
Hephaestus: Loaded/Refreshed 30 weapon builds in total.
The only weapon(s) showing in the "Showcase" is my profile presets. None of the weapons from the .json file(s) are showing. I've hit "Refresh Store" and restarted both the Server and Launcher. Any ideas?
alexkarpen Author
Hello simple,
i am 99.99999% its a bug, so its my fault.
A quick fix for you to test it and solve it is to go in
<SPTFolder>/user/mods/Hephaestus/src/mod.ts:273
and change the loadExternal from false to true. So it defaults to true.
test and report if you need further assistance
Simpleton.Bot
Thank you for such a quick reply!! I modified mod.ts, as instructed
I removed a preset.json that I need to work on, but left the default and my custom one in the .\presets directory. I'm now seeing:
Hephaestus: Loaded/Refreshed 2 external builds from external sources.
Hephaestus: Loaded/Refreshed 28 weapon builds in total.
However, they are not showing in game still. I tried clearing temp files and rebooting my pc as well. I should note that I saw a PP19 (or similar) after I first installed the mod; i'm assuming that is what resides in the example.json that came with the mod. That is not showing anymore.
Simpleton.Bot
Okay, I removed all files from the .\presets directory and copied the original back in from the .zip
Now i'm seeing this...
I must have an issue with the format of my .json ?
alexkarpen Author
If the original works, then probably is the structure. But it reports that it loads it correctly. Make sure the ids are unique in json files.
Simpleton.Bot
Okay, will do. Is there a "builder" to help generate these .json files? Do the IDs need to be a special format, or can I make up my own unique IDs?
Rory
As a giga noob, I love your mod!! Thanks for making it, it works so well.
GMAK3R
Just an idea is it possible to make a trader that keeps all items sold to it and have fika support?
alexkarpen Author
"keeps all items sold to it"
it is possible but too trashy, because there is no easy way of deleting unwanted sales.
If you want you can right click edit preset to the about to sell weapon and save the preset you want to save to trader.
"fika support"
in config file you can expand profile search to display the presets of every profile so it is partially fika supported as long as you dont collectively create 100 presets.
GMAK3R
ok
NanamiTV
hi, just found something and didnt know if it was intentional.
when you don't have flea unlocked but the workbench built, and save a preset, you can buy it without having flea access, kinda circumventing being locked out of buying everything until lvl 15.
just curious to know if it was something you thought about or if it is more of an "exploit" xD
alexkarpen Author
The whole mod is an exploit.
BurningMaoam
The fact that your profile is on your PC and modifiable means SPT is meant to be exploited and modded
BurningMaoam
Ok, so I finally understand how this mod works - anybody have Weaponsmith Presets for it?
Trol1025
Version 1.1.9 has bad structure again.
you have \user\mods\content
should be \user\mods\Hephaestus\content
+ duplicate of the whole mod in \user\mods\user
alexkarpen Author
i am master to not fixing things when trying to fix them
alexkarpen Author
fixed on current download
Trol1025
Haha, great mod !
Jormung
is hephaestus for people who dont like weapon building?

Or people like me that have no imagination to make them:)

POSTING THIS AGAIN FOR VISIBILITY
Reis Jan 21st 2023
Great mod!
And if you are facing issue with HEPHAESTUS image in your game, just go to your mods folder:
\SPT-AKI\user\mods
And rename the folder:
Hephaestus.X.X.X
To:
Hephaestus
Hope it helps.
alexkarpen Author
You are correct i was in a haste and messed folder structure once again
Crackhead-Cody
is it possible to move presets from one profile to another?
Mod works great though, im just inept
alexkarpen Author
you transfer each {...weapon...} you want from within weaponBuilds:[] to the other profile.
Save the file, restart the game server or logout and login (to be sure) and voila!
agavalda
Hi there, when using your mod the weapons builds in the user profile json are modified with the new properties: "UnlimitedCount": true, "StackObjectsCount": 2000 and "preWeapon": true.
Is that intended behaviour?
I'm asking because someone complained that my mod doesn't work after using yours and saw that was the reason. Basically my mod allows to add weapons builds and it copies all its properties, including those news and then it breaks weapon if you try to use it.
I have 0 idea how the traders work but my guess is that you don't have to modify the profile items when adding a trader? again, i have no idea if what im saying is wrong, sorry if im wrong
alexkarpen Author
Great mod aga,
I will download yours and test it out to help.
I will have some time tomorrow
alexkarpen Author
new version Up aga.
check and report back if you find any issues!
agavalda
hi there, still the same problem with latest 1.1.10
I still see that the preset on the profile json is changed with upd.UnlimitedCount property
Not sure what to do here, maybe i can mark my mod as non-compatible with yours and we can forget about this :DDD
alexkarpen Author
aga you are right i forgot the premade ones.
uploaded new version just now!
In the impossible chance that it still doesnt work i give you my permission to disgrace my name with the incompatibility offence
agavalda
when the server starts it says version 1.1.8 and still contains the same unlimited property
big-fella
This is unfortunately breaking presets for agavalda's excellent give-ui mod, presets added via give-ui while Hephaestus is installed will cause errors that produce duplicating weapons that turn into receivers with no parts, just for anyone interested in both.
masterofnone
I keep getting the error "Unable to generate flea offers for trader sarge, no assort found" and the game infinitely loads.
alexkarpen Author
"Unable to generate flea offers for trader sarge, no assort found"
The secret ingredient in this sentence is the word "sarge"
masterofnone
Sorry, but I don't follow? That's where my question is because I'm not sure what this "trader sarge" is? I searched for it and couldn't find anything.
alexkarpen Author
jokes aside, post your modlist so i can help you

Do you have the folder "Hephaestus" in you user/mods directory?
bremg
Its all in euro's and editing of guns is complicated and half explained..
Great concept but im uninstalling, its useless in its current state..

Had it working btw, but someimes it worked, sometimes it didn't no changes on my end..

JonatanEG
Hello, a question, how do you change the prices in the hephaestus mod? Thanks in advance
alexkarpen Author
in config file lower the discount number
pacoz
alexkarpen Author
Primarily it sells only* your own presets that your profile has created.
But in addition you can add json presets.
"advertising" is a strong word
Anttares314
I wish hephaestus had an integration with Softcore Tarkov .
What I mean by this is that Hephaestus each refresh will check flea pick a random offer for each part of your preset pick a random part of the barter and use it as an asking price .
Example: this sig spear will cost you : 1ssd 2aa bat 6 tape 1 3m body armour
alexkarpen Author
it's interesting, but the whole purpose is to skip the procedure of buying the preset from flea market and assembling it.
Kudos for creativity and imagination though.
P.S. it is possible to create such method of pricing
Anttares314
Maybe I’ll give it a go
Anttares314
The thing about Spt sotcore is that it Changes the whole economy (flea included) to be mainly barter only and I thought it will be cool lore wise that Hephaestus scrounges the flea market arranges deals between AI offers to sell you the presets and making a profit
HeiZen
Best trader !

Will the mod work if i have flea market disabled or unavailable through SVM?

Δεν ξέρω Φώτη, κατα πάσα πιθανότητα ναι. Αλλά μπορεί να σου σπάσει τις τιμές.

Θα το δοκιμάσω τότε και βλέπουμε! Ευχαριστώ για την απάντηση και συγχαρητήρια για τo εξαιρετικό mod!
alexkarpen Author
Αν σου βγάλει κάποιο πρόβλημα πες μου να σε καθοδηγήσω.
FotisN
Ευχαριστώ πολύ. Σκοπεύω να ξεκινήσω νέο run και έχω καθορίσει μέσω Svm το flea market να δείχνει μόνο vanilla traders μέχρι να φτάσω lvl 70. Τα preset δηλαδή που θα αποθηκεύω θα περιέχουν προιόντα διαθέσιμα μόνο απο αυτούς.
Τουλάχιστον έτσι το φαντάζομαι πως θα λειτουργήσει θα δούμε στην πράξη.
Θα σου αφήσω feedback ακόμα και αν ολα πάνε καλά!
