DewardianDev added a new version:
The "REVERT!" update- Reverted a few changes to pmc types that was likely causing errors for those using any modded weapons/ammo.
- Removed a LOT of items from PMCS secure containers to reduce data bloat.
That's all for now, HIGHLY recommend update if on versions 5.1.X, previous versions contained a bug.

DewardianDev added a new version:
Minor update- Adds pmc/scav difficulty setting (0 - 1.5, defaults 0.3/0.5)
These affect the bots spawned difficulty: easy,medium,hard,impossible.
Similar to SWAGs setting of the same name. - Adjusted waves for all maps, waves should be a lot more consistent in general.
Factory should be less of a gong-show. - Fixed spawning issue where pmcs would spawn on rooftops in streets of tarkov.

Minor update- Fixes a bug with high level Ground Zero being broken
- Removes the new dogtags from scavs loot pool.

DewardianDev added a new version:
Update to version 3.9.4!- Added "Ammo" randomness option in the "randomness" config.
- Updated a few cursed scopes, should see far less scope mounts without primary scopes now.
- Added new values for scav loot in the NonPmcBotConfig:
- percentageOfKeysInSpawnPool
This is the size of the key pool that Scavs have access to (randomized on game start)
I'd recommend leaving this alone - scavLootBlacklist
Add ids of items you'd like scavs NOT to have, does not effect weapons
- percentageOfKeysInSpawnPool
- A few other minor changes, and a few

Major release - Alp Recombobulated- Added FULL LOAD ORDER SUPPORT!
ALP now runs after DB Load, like most server mods; this means you can now use the load order.json to resolve many issues previously seen.
Simply place mods you suspect are conflicting AFTER ALP in the load order.json.
This includes custom traders that may have previously been incompatible with ALP!
To test newly added mod compatibility one can now simply move custom weapon/equipment mods BEFORE ALP And test.**
** I do not guarantee

- The quest to rid ALP of cursed guns continues...
- Fixed a number of issues with scopes not spawning on higher tier 30/34mm scope mounts
- Removed a few strange/ugly scope mounts (Hydra Mounts) - Scav loot is now configurable
- Added all useful keys to loot pool (nonPmcBotConfig > addRandomizedKeysToScavs to disable)
- Added method to increase the weighting difference between good/bad loot (nonPmcBotConfig > lootDisparityMultiplier)
- Added the ability to add item ids to the scav loot pool (nonPmcBotConfig > additionalScavLoot)
Any added items will be automatically weighted for balance. - Boring stuff
- Massive code refactor
- Added Error handling
- Added automated use of "forceCached" if ALP detects bad items or other errors.
- A ton of small balance changes - ALP now uses the standard USER > MODS > AlgorithmicLevelProgression folder structure.
REMEMBER TO DELETE THE OLD FOLDER IF PRESENT WHEN INSTALLING!
Old folder name: DewardianDev-AlgorithmicLevelProgression
New folder name: AlgorithmicLevelProgression
That's all for now!

Major Update (3.8.3)- Fixed med spawns, they were broken for 3.8.0
- Automated Looting bots detection, no config option needed anymore.
- Ammo tweaked heavily

This dramatically helps the game feel more live like. - Made guns more meta as pmcs level.
- Set PMC loot to be largely determined by SPT, only quantity (not quality) scales with ALP.

Revamps quests with algorithmic difficulty scaling per trader, prioritizing rare quests early. It swaps Gunsmith tasks for configurable kill quests, balances rewards, and simplifies end-game content. Highly customizable for a fresh experience.QuoteDisplay Morehub.sp-tarkov.com/attachment/10417/
Requires a new profile!
Algorithmic Quest Progression redefines the questing experience, offering a curated, customizable progression system designed to breathe new life into SPT Tarkov.
Key features include:- Algorithmic Quest Progression: Quests scale in difficulty per trader, with minimal interaction between traders, allowing players to focus on leveling any trader at any time.
- Fresh Quest Experience: Prioritizes rarely seen quests at the start of a wipe, ensuring a novel and engaging early game.
- Ordered Quest Difficulty: All quests are sorted by difficulty for each trader, creating a smooth progression curve.
- Reworked Rewards: Rewards are ordered from least to greatest, with trader-unlocked items available within the first 75% of quests, ensuring accessibility.
- Gunsmith Replacement: All Gunsmith quests are replaced with configurable kill quests, reducing repetitive tasks (toggleable in config).
- Quest Adjustments: Many quests have been reworked to reduce monotony, with simplified requirements for end-game content like Fence’s Kappa chain and Lighthouse Keeper quests.
- Early Quest Shuffling: Rarely seen quests are moved to the early game for a more exciting start.
- Trader Unlocks: Traders are unlocked by completing their initial quests, streamlining access.
- End-Game Accessibility: Fence’s Kappa quest chain unlocks after completing Tarkov Shooter 6, with reduced requirements. Lighthouse Keeper quests unlock earlier via Mechanic’s quest chain.
- Ref’s Quests: Reworked to include only SPT-compatible quests, with adjusted requirements and rewards.
- Custom Rewards: Unique rewards, like early access to 5.56 FMJ and AR-15 gas blocks, enhance early-game viability of certain weapons.
- Removed Restrictions: Level requirements, negative reputation penalties, and quest failure/make-up quests have been removed or repurposed for a smoother experience.
- High Configurability: Adjust quest order, unlock speed (e.g., 2 quests at a time per trader), kill requirements, item counts, plant times, experience, and trader reputation via configuration files.
If you're really digging the mod, consider supporting my caffeine addiction ☕:
Compatibility:

DewardianDev added a new version:
Moderate Update- Fixed a few cyclic depth errors on server start for those 20+ mod pack enthusiasts.
More weapon mods should now be compatible... - Updated a number of spawning issues around scav gear to more closely emulate live (CONFIRM 3M is finally fixed)
- Fixed a few errors around pmc plate loading that would cause lag at the start of raids.
- Made a few changes to around medkit spawning to make it more similar to live.
That is all for now.
Have fun

Compatibility Update- Added new "forceCached" config option (set to false by default):
This basically sets pmcs to use a hardcoded precached version of the mod to help compatibility for those non-technical folks that can't be bothered to cull their mod folder.
TLDR: If you use a ton of weapon/mod/equipment mods, and you see errors after install set this to true. You won't get bots using custom items, but you can still use ALP. - Set "strictEquipmentTiering" to true by default, turn this off to see

Minor Update- Fixed too many stims spawning on pmcs, also balanced their spawning so rare ones spawn less often.
- Updated scav equipment balance a bit
- Added new "strictEquipmentTiering" option to the config, this basically makes it so that bots will not spawn with items beyond their tier.
In the past, ALP would have this on by default, meaning that a tier 1 bot would have no chance to have killa armor or an ash12.
Turning this off now (by default) allows for such random occurrences to happen.
