Honestly guys, I'm sorry I've procrastinated on uploading this update for so long. I'm working on a client side mod for it at the moment and been wanting to wait and upload the server/client together. Client will be out soon. Please let me know if any of these issues persist.

The bots "brainTypes" option in the bots.json file is now set to false by default due to conflicts with SAIN. If you do not use SAIN then I'd still highly recommend using this option.

Bosses will no longer block other bots from spawning in the same zone they are in.

--UPDATES-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Updated all open zones for all locations primarily Ground Zero, Shoreline, and Streets of Tarkov.
Updated and rebalanced spawn wave presets for Factory, Lighthouse, Shoreline, and Streets of Tarkov.
Added 2 "like-live" main presets and 3 "like-live" spawn generator presets for Ground Zero.
Added a new "event-like" preset for Ground Zero that spawns only Kollontay and scavs (All "event-like" presets are disabled by default and can be enabled in the 'locations' file).
Added a new spawn wave chance multiplier for every bot type in the global overrides options of the 'settingsManager'.
Removed the miscellaneous options and related files for 'custom trader avatars' and 'custom launcher backgrounds'. I have improved these and uploaded them as stand-alone mods on the SPT-AKI mod page.

--CODE CHANGES-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- I've completely overhauled the source code to enhance maintainability, making future updates easier to implement.
- In BetterSpawnsPlus-v1.1.6, all preset config file options are now neatly divided into individual config files within a dedicated settings folder. This restructuring brings a new level of organization and ease of navigation.
- The familiar "presetManager.json" from BetterSpawnsPlus-v1.1.6 has undergone a name change to "settingsManager.json."
- To streamline accessibility, each option has been thoughtfully re-categorized into specific config files within the settings folder, covering bots, hideout, items, locations, loot, misc, player, raids, and traders.
- Presets and config files from BetterSpawnsPlus-v1.1.6 are incompatible with BetterSpawnsPlus-v2.0.0.

--LOG CHANGES-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Map-specific logs now reside in 'spt/user/mods/PreyToLive-BetterSpawnsPlus/logs/'. These logs document raid time, maximum bots per map, chosen preset(s) for spawn waves, the overall count of potential spawn waves for each bot type, and a comprehensive breakdown of spawn wave details, ordered by their spawn time.

--SETTINGS CHANGES-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GLOBAL
- Added a global override option in the settings manager for setting individual boss spawn chance and spawn difficulty.
- Added a global override option in the settings manager thats forces all pmc and scav spawn waves to stop after a specified amount of time.

BOTS
- Added over 1000 unique bot pmc names (including all 151 Pokemon names, gotta catch 'em all!).
- Added brain type selection and randomization for scavs.

HIDEOUT
- Added options for generator, air filter and gpu rates.
- Added options for scave case rewards.

LOCATIONS
- Updated all spawn presets for Streets of Tarkov to include pmc and scav spawn waves for all new open zones.
- Updated all boss spawn rates to be in line with Live Tarkov.
- Added boss Kaban to the spawn generator presets.
- Added a new main preset that spawns tagillla and killa together on factory.
- Added a new main preset that spawns tagillla and killa together on interchange.

LOOT
- Added randomization and spawn chance modifier for containers on each map.

MISC
- You can now easily replace the launcher background images with your own ".jpg" image. Place your images in the /res/launcher directory within the mod and then type the names of the images into the images array.

RAIDS
- Added option for MIA on raid end.
- Added option to keep anything in secure container "found in-raid" upon death.
- Added option to choose which equipment is lost upon death, as well as, quest items.
- Added day and night time acceleration.

TRADERS
- Added an option to make all trader purchases "found in-raid".
- Added an option to remove trader repair random durability loss.
- Added an option to set the stock update time for each trader.
- Added on option to set the insurance storage time for prapor and therapist.
- Added item amount, weapon durability, and armor durability for fence.

--KNOWN ISSUES-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The option to replace the trader profile images is no longer working. If you want to use the images I created for the traders from previous version of BSP you will need to manually replace the images in '/spt/Aki_Data/Server/images/traders/' with the trader images in 'spt/mods/PreyToLive-BetterSpawnsPlus/res/traders/'. Make sure to backup the original trader images if you would ever want to revert back to them.
- You may have to enable the installation of mod dependencies in the 'spt/Aki_Data/Server/configs/core.json' file. The server should direct you to the file if you need to.

Yeah I caught this issue yesterday and didn't have time to post an update. I incorrectly named one of the spawn generator presets in the configs.

So, PTL_BSP_MAIN_PRESET_MEETING_OF_THE_BOSSES needs to be changed to PTL_BSP_SG_PRESET_MEETING_OF_THE_BOSSES within thie config file as shown below.

To fix it, just change within the config you are using from this:

Code

                "spawnGenerator": {
                    "enabled": true,
                    "presets": {
                        "PTL_BSP_SG_PRESET_ADDON_BOSSES": 1,
                        "PTL_BSP_SG_PRESET_ADDON_CULTISTS": 2,
                        "PTL_BSP_SG_PRESET_ADDON_RAIDERS": 2,
                        "PTL_BSP_SG_PRESET_ADDON_ROGUES": 2,
                        "PTL_BSP_SG_PRESET_LIKELIVETARKOV_1": 3,
                        "PTL_BSP_SG_PRESET_LIKELIVETARKOV_2": 3,
                        "PTL_BSP_MAIN_PRESET_PRESET_MEETING_OF_THE_BOSSES": 1
                    }

                    }
                }

Obviously set the weight of each preset to whatever you want (0-5). These are just the weights I use in my preyToLivesConfig.

When I get a chance I'll post an update for the mod that fixes this.

PreyToLive · Apr 28th 2023

Most likely you edited the config file and didn't put a value for 'min' or you put an incorrect value in its place. Make sure its a number and not a boolean.

PreyToLive · Mar 21st 2023

All bot difficulty is written within the presets and can be edited. I've always left my in-game difficulty set to "as in online". I don't think changing the in-game option will change the bot difficulty though. My latest update rebalanced the difficulty of the bots making normal bots much more common with the exception of a few easy bots and a rare chance of a hard bot.

Sorry I don't understand what you are asking.
