SPT 3.1.0 (19078)

on GitHub

HOTFIX - 2022-07-25 1PM GMT - Fixed Problem with scav raids in some maps breaking the game
HOTFIX 2 - 2022-07-25 3PM GMT - Increased timeout for calls between client and server to 15 seconds, this should help reduce the 'request timed out' errors on slower computers

Needs EFT 12.12.30.19078 (released 19th July 2022)

If this is your first time installing SPT consider using the AKI installer, you can find it here

A guide to installing SPT manually can be found here

Release notes

Updated to latest tarkov version (lighthouse expansion + new guns)

BSG cleaned up a lot of code internally. This meant a lot of our module patches stopped working and we had to rewrite them, this lead to a longer than expected testing period.
We had to re-dump all map loot data again, it took a few hundred hours, but we have it thanks to ThankGuyXIV.

Mods made for 2.3.1 are NOT compatible for 3.1.0
Mods made for 3.0.0 are NOT compatible and need minor changes to make them work

Profile compatibility

2.3.X - Use at own risk (There have been reports of insurance items not being sent when using 2.3.1 profiles)
2.2.X and older - Unsupported

DO NOT INSTALL INTO A PREVIOUS SPT FOLDER, IT NEEDS A FRESH COPY OF EFT 19078

Fresh install instructions

• Download Escape from Tarkov from https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/
• Copy live Tarkov folder to another location, call it something like "spt310" (Do NOT copy to a protected location e.g. the desktop)
• Do not remove live Tarkov folder, it must remain in the original install location for SPT to function
• Copy contents of RELEASE-SPT-3.1.0-19078 (found at the bottom of this post) into newly created 'spt' folder using WinRar or 7Zip
• Run Aki.Server.exe and wait for it to start
• Start Aki.Launcher.exe
• Enter any username into the username box (NOT the same details as your live account)
• Click login - choose the edition you want (EoD, Standard etc)
• Click 'Start game'

Migrating existing profiles to the new version

• Install 3.1.0 as described above.
• Find your profiles in your 3.0.0 install (SPT300/user/profiles)
• Copy these files to your 3.1.0 profiles folder (SPT310/user/profiles)
• Create the folder if it does not exist

Known SPT issues

• Airdrops have been removed due to bsg reworking them, they will return in a future release
• Scav daily quests hae not been implemented, they will be added in a future release
• Flare guns to do summon an airdrop, this will be added in a future release
• Sometimes you'll start a map with no extracts, the only way to escape is to press alt+f4
• Some quests need PMCs to spawn in map locations that have no bot spawns making them impossible to complete (e.g. kill x PMCs in scav fortress/base)
• Selecting the overview tab as a scav can break your client - workaround: alt+f4 to escape
• Looting while extracting can break the client - workaround: alt+f4 to escape
• Flashbangs don’t give the ear ringing (tinnitus) effect
• Christmas items can still be found as loot
• Too many Rogues spawn on lighthouse compared to live, resulting in very few scavs spawning
• Flea offers that sell when the server is offline are marked as expired and items are returned
• Flea categories don't always show the correct number of offers when filtering by item
• Time drift - the server and raid times slowly drift apart over time
• Extracts are not the same as live, PMC only extracts appear for scavs
• Completing a quest that pushes a trader to the next loyalty level does not correctly unlock the new levels items' - workaround: buy any item from trader
• Bleeds will vanish from your character on exiting a raid
• End of raid exp screen shows slightly incorrect exp values (profile still saves correct values)
• The flea still shows trader barter offers when the no barter trades filter is enabled

Known NON-SPT issues

• BSG have blacklisted a lot of high-level items from the flea. You can disable this blacklist by using a mod / editing the ragfair config.
• Rogues are insanely difficult, this is by BSGs design
• Scavs are much harder to fight, this is by BSGs design
• Stuttering will occur when bots spawn in
• Being killed when looting causes the game client to soft-lock
• Opening a 120 bullet ammo pack in-raid creates a single stack of 120
• The game can get stuck on the menu loading screen for 5 minutes. The workaround is to press f12 to open/close the menu multiple times

• Improved flea categories to better show the items available

Modders

3.0.0 mods will need to use the new interfaces IPreAkiLoadMod/IPostDBLoadMod/IPostAkiLoadMod instead of IMod
The example mods have been updated to reflect this change

• Added a new config entry to control the price of trader items: traderPriceMultipler in configs/trader.json defaults to 1x
• Removed usage of clientItems.json from bot code. It was a temp fix after bsg removed a number of properties from items.json. Reworked the sorting code that used it to rely on flea/handbook price instead.
• Moved fence specific config values into a fence object inside config/trader.json
• Added a new method for use in mods, loadAfterDbInit() This runs just after the database has been initialised but prior to the rest of the server running. It allows you direct access to the in-memory db for adding/editing/deleting. Refer to the new example 14 on the ModExamples repo on its use. This is the optimal way to do DB changes.
• Added new log method called logWithColor() this takes 2 params and lets you adjust the text and background of the log message
• TraderHelper/getPurchasesData() has been split up into multiple functions for more modularity
• Added new property presetPrice to ragfair config, this controls the multiplier applied to preset items prices
• Don't forget to get an updated copy of the types if you're working on a mod, get it from any of the example mods or generate it yourself from the server with the command gen:types
• Updated many of the .json files with live data (handbook/globals/items etc)
• Profile temples in profiles.json have a new option to unlock jaeger on first login by using the new variable trader.jaegerUnlocked
• Profile temples in profiles.json have a new option to set initial loyalty level on first login by using the new variable trader.initialLoyaltyLevel
• Moved the profile fixing code from GameController into its own servie ProfileFixerService
• All code classes can be found in the code here
