    Very interesting! This was not a waste of time at all; clearly there's a problem with either my mod or Fontaine's. I'll try running my mod alongside his and see if I can reproduce the problem. Ultimately, I'm sure both of us want for everybody to be able to use our mods with as little headache as possible, so any improvements to make them more robust are welcome.


    Thanks for your help!

    Interesting... I get the same message, but my server doesn't freeze there. Here is what I see:


    [2023-05-16T03:46:47.885Z] info: [Late to the Party] Could not find FN40GL Mk2 grenade launcher in trader assorts.

    [2023-05-16T03:46:47.886Z] info: [Late to the Party] Creating preset for FN40GL Mk2 grenade launcher...

    [2023-05-16T03:46:47.887Z] info: [Late to the Party] Found weapon FN40GL Mk2 grenade launcher: Width=3,Height=1,Weight=2.92


    Those messages are written by the server code, but it's certainly possible that something could be deadlocked (i.e. my mod doesn't play nicely with others).


    It looks like the server log you attached doesn't contain the messages in your screenshot. Maybe you attached a log generated after disabling the loot-ranking parameter? If you open the log file, you should be able to search for "FN40GL" and see the messages in your screenshot. If you find that log file from today, could you please share it? Maybe there are some messages that were logged but not shown in the console because the program was frozen.


    Also, I know this is a total PITA considering your extensive mod list, but... if you have time, could you try disabling the other mods one-by-one to see which one has the incompatibility with mine? Based on what you just found, searching for the "mechSKSv1" template might be a dead end for me. I'm a bit afraid of going down a rabbit hole without actually understanding the problem.


    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks, I must still be overlooking something.


    If you have time, could you please try doing the following to help me understand where it's hanging?

    1) Set debug=true in config/config.json

    2) Open src/LootRankingGenerator.ts and change line 15 (const verboseLogging = false;) from false to true
    3) Also in src/LootRankingGenerator.ts, uncomment line 462 (by removing the leading "//")

    4) Restart the server and try running the game. You should see a ton of messages appear when it's generating loot ranking data.

    5) Share the most recent server log file in user/logs/ after it crashes (or freezes for longer than you want to wait).

    6) After sharing the log, if the extra messages are distracting you can revert the changes in steps 1-3 if you'd like.


    You'll need a program like Notepad++ to see line numbers in the files, so hopefully I'm not signing you up for too much extra work!


    I'll have to look through those mods and try to find that template so I can test it, but it'll probably take me a few days to find a solution. In the meantime, setting destroy_loot_during_raid.loot_ranking.enabled=false should allow the mod to work for you with the latest changes besides loot ranking.


    Sorry it's still not working correctly, and thanks for helping me troubleshoot!

    With V1.1.9 my game is loading to a blank main menu.

    Here is a snippet of what's showing up in the logs:

    Could you please try v1.1.10 when you get a chance? It should hopefully fix the issue with the "mechSKSv1" template. If not, could you please let me know what other mods you're using?

    I have only tested this release with SPT-AKI 3.5.5. If I find any incompatibilities with SPT-AKI 3.5.6, I'll post a new version.

  • Late to the Party

    The "mechSKSv1" template looks like something introduced by another mod. Do you know which one it is? It looks like I can't use the SPT code to generate weapons for it, so I'll have to find a workaround.

    The ranking system is still a work-in-progress and will likely be adjusted in the future. If you'd like to play with the ranking parameters, I've provided a utility to view how each item in the game is ranked by the algorithm in the mod (see the README or Overview tab for more information).

    You can use your config.json file from the 1.1.6 release or later, but it's not recommended. If you do, the mod will not make any PMC or boss spawn changes.

    • Added map_traversal_speed_mps parameter in config.json to prevent the mod from despawning loot too far away from PMC spawn points to reasonably reach in time. With the default setting, you have 2-3 min to get to Resort before loot can despawn there.

    You can use your config.json file from the 1.1.0 or 1.1.1 release, but it's not recommended. If you do, the mod will assume map_traversal_speed_mps=2.

    Fixed most stuttering issues by spreading out the loot-destruction routine across multiple frames.

    Please read the Overview tab (or README) for more details.

    I still get slight stuttering in the first few seconds of a Scav raid, but I don't notice anything else otherwise. If you're expecting 120fps, the loot-destruction system probably isn't for you, but I rarely dropped below 60fps in my testing. If your experience greatly differs from mine, please post a comment to help me further improve this…
