Better Keys 1.2.4

Yes we do!

That's what I'm looking for...

I've just tried it with a bunch of other mods in 3.6.1 and it seems to work just fine. Full descriptions are visible.

For 3.7 too

Missing some of the new keys I'm sure, but hey.

What is it superceeded by please?

I'd also like to know what this was surpassed by

The download has two mods, a client-side and a server-side. One goes into your BepInEx/plugins folder and the other goes into your user/mods folder. The zip file contains the two folders so you should just be able to drag and drop them into your main SPT install location.

Thanks for the Help! Although it seems that didn't fix my issue entirely. Im new to modding SPT so I could be misunderstanding. I put Betterkeys file in plugins and server in the mods folder and I get this Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'user/mods/BetterKeys/db/_keys.json' So I tried fliping the locations by putting Betterkeys in mods and server in plugins but then I get the previous error of missing package.json. Im unsure what im doing wrong here.

When you downloaded the mod there it should be a zip file, if you extract it into your root SPT folder it should automatically set up the mod for you. But to do it manually you want to place SirTyler-BetterKeys.dll into BepInEx/plugins and the BetterKeys folder into user/mods

I see what happened now. When I downloaded the mod I downloaded, I'm assuming, the source code.zip not the actual mod file. Thanks for the help!

Try a fresh install again, I forgot to push the new config within the first couple minutes of releasing 1.2.4, so that may be your issue.

still same error. will try download again just in case

looks like i had a bad d/load. all good now

getting this error as well

Same thing here.

I can third this after a fresh install.

Same here

yup same here

ChangeMarkedKeysBackground will only set the marked keys to use a yellow background (default) instead of the per-map colors. You want to set that to false AND set each background color to off like so:

{
"AutoUpdate": false,
"ChangeMarkedKeysBackground": false, <<<<<<<<<
"AddIfUsedInQuestsToDesc": true,
"AddLootToDesc": true,
"BackgroundColor": {
    "Factory": "off",
    "Customs": "off",
    "Woods": "off",
    "Shoreline": "off",
    "Interchange": "off",
    "Laboratory": "off",
    "Reserve": "off",
    "Lighthouse": "off",
    "JunkKeys": "off"
}
}

New update 1.2.2 supports this on a map-by-map basis. To set all keys to using their defaults set ChangeMarkedKeysBackground to false and each map's color to off

What is ChangeMarkedKeysBackground exactly doing? It defaults to false on a fresh install and setting it to true changes nothing or i dont know what to look for

With ChangeMarkedKeysBackground set to false, any marked key will default to a yellow background, with it set to true the background will match whatever the color for the map it belongs to is.

Letters are a tier/ranking, yes. Also, Color Coded Keys may be conflicting as this mod does the same thing as Color Coded Keys. Try removing Color Coded Keys and see if that fixes your issue, if not please send me your logs and any screenshots you have in the support thread.

Ok so I found the issue, it only works with English language only, (I play with es-mx) Is it possible to create a es-mx locale file and make it work? (I already made one but idk how to make it work)

Sorry about the wait! The newest update should now have all missing localizations added and will default to English if localization is missing. If there are any issues or grammatical problems please let me know so I can fix them, these locale files also now take advantage of the auto-updating system so they can update independently of the mod.

Thats really great! Thank you!! The only grammatical errors that I could find is in:

Safe: Should be "Caja Fuerte"

PC: Should be "Gabinete de PC"

Extract : Should be "Extracción"

LooseCash: Should be "Dinero suelto"

Of course is only on the "es-mx" locale, it may be different on "es"

This is by design, essentially if any keys have a "tier" that fell D or lower, I did not include them in the database. I felt this would unnecessarily bloat the information as in most cases you would not be using or keeping these keys anyway. The only exception would be the "Junk keys" as they are keys that have no actual use, which is still information worth displaying.

ok thanks for that

There should be a package.json file included in the download, did you install the mod properly? The install includes the proper file structure so you should just need to drop it into your SPT-AKI install location.

ok now the server booting loaded up more things and all are properly uploaded, except again json file

If you go into:

user\mods\BetterKeys

is there not a package.json file in there?

yes, there is

If you are still having issues, please post to the support thread a screenshot of your user\mods\BetterKeys folder and a copy of your logs so I can try and work out the issue.

Thanks! I had missed the Shoreline keys, and the Lighthouse keys were added to the Tarkov wiki after I had originally pulled the info. I just released an update to fix this issue and prep for any future changes, there is now an option (off by default) to update the key database without me having to release a whole new version.

For me closing and reopening only works like twice and then the tiers just get scrambled and then stuck until restarting client.

Issue has been solved in the latest update.

It will mostly come down to if you want to use the extra feature set in this mod vs the other. It still does the basic background color changing that the original mod does, just with the added information of loot and quest names as well.

I am also currently experimenting with implementing a visual similar to how HideoutArchitect does it. We will see if that pans out.

What mod?
