This mod provides a db.ts script which included some very basic SPT database related utility functions aimed to help modders with nudging the SPT's server data. Alongside some other small features.

SoftCoreLite

This is a personal mod project for SPT inspired by mods listed in the Credits at the end.

The initial goal was to consolidate and fine-tune some features of other mods into one for my own enjoyment(instead of having to bother the original authors for updates and deal with features I didn't need or whatnot).

The goal now is to share the utilities I wrote within this mod to help other modders with SPT's database.

What this mod does:

The collection of things I fine-tuned for my own enjoyment:

Everything can be turned-off using the config.json

• My own implementation configuration of [Health Per Level]
  HP of body parts does not increase per level, rather:
  • Body part gets bonus HP per set amount of levels
  • Each body part gets a set amount of bonus HP to balance it out over the levels
• Two features of [ODT-Softcore]
  • Reconfigured stash sizes to [64, 96, 128, 160]
  • Re-discover all items (Unexamine all items)
• Filter the special slots to hold 1-slot med kits and etc instead of all kinds of bigger medkits. [SpecialSlots]
  Plan to update this to a generative function that scans the entire post-mod-database for 1-slot med items so this can work for meds added by other mods
• Make Bot(Cultist) no longer silent or cold to thermals(Experimental) [HotCultists]
  • They are no longer silent for sure, but whether they are cold to thermal scopes requires testing

But most importantly:

Some basic and rudimentary database tools/ID workarounds of SPT

(Make sense of these damned IDs)

• Skeleton code of a more-automated item cloning feature driven by data
  • Modified item cloning functionalities of [SPT-Realism] to add the following as a proof of concept (no new models or textures).
    • 13-round magazine for TT
    • 12-round magazine for PM
    • 10-round magazine for Gornostay
  • Currently only deals with individual items/weapon mods.
  • Seem to work with [Algorithmic Level Progression]
  • Since item cloning ultimately is only done once at the server load, performance implication of this is going to be ignored. I also do not have an excess of knowledge to write performant code. I only know to perform massive loops or recursions as few times as possible.
• Skeleton code of post-mod-database item-property rebalancing feature
  • Currently, only the Ammo Load/Unload speed of all magazines are being rebalanced.
  • The negative effect is "LERPed" to max out at about 20%, and positive effect is unaffected.
• Database debugging utilities
  • These functions in db.ts helps modder make sense of SPT's JSON data structure and provides basics for automating/simplifying some database related activities such as the two features described above
  • I'm personally proud of the names I've given to the grow() function and I will hear no alternatives.
  • This is likely to be heavily affected when SPT's database-structure changes

Plans to automate the weapon pre-set creation for any modded-weapons so the Weapon Mastering skill page shows the fully modded weapons instead of just the core component of the modded weapons.

I hope this helps.

Load Order:

• (any mod that adds or changes item properties)
• SPT-Realism,
• SVM,
• SoftCoreLite,
• Algorithmic* mods
• MoreCheckmarksBackend

Thanks to everyone that shared their code openly so others can learn.

And obviously,

Thanks to SPT-AKI for giving us an opportunity to truly enjoy EFT.
