Better key information for SPT-AKI. Originally by SirTyler, updated by maxloo2.
I have uninstalled tarkov since I was too addicted to the game and life started getting more and more busy, I am more than happy to support/ maintain the mod but I don’t really have the time and energy to keep up with the updates and stuff. If someone want to take over the project feel free to reach out to me and I will see how I can transfer the project to you. OR if you want to just copy the code from GitHub and make your own!
There will be NO support from me in the SPT HUB (#general-support), I have removed myself from the discord server for the time being due to “circumstances”, and probably will not return any time soon. Please report your bugs and problems here in the comment section, or ping me on discord in some other SPT modding communities.
Features & Changes
- Colored background for keys and keycards according to which map they belongs to.
- Maps, Extracts, Quests and Loot information in the item descriptions.
- **[New]** Add description for junk keys (previously keys that are not used anywhere are not indicated as such by the mod)
- **[New]** All features can be toggled on/ off in
config.json(see below). - **[Updated]** Auto-update from GitHub: key information and locales can be updated without redownloading the whole mod.
- **[Removed]** Key Tier List (I don’t think it was actually enabled anyway).
Please refer to the original mod for more/ legacy descriptions: Better Keys [Most of the code have since be rewritten, but the idea of the mod is the same]
config.json
{ “enableAutoUpdate”: false, // enable auto update from GitHub (disabled by default) “backgroundColor”: true, // toggle background colors “descriptionInfo”: true, // toggle item descriptions “yellowMarkedKeys”: false, // when true, marked keys are always yellow (vanilla behavior) “requiredInQuests”: true, // Toggle Quests Info “requiredForExtracts”: true, // toggle Extracts Info “behindTheLoock”: true, // toggle Loot Info “backgroundColors”: {…} // Please refer to config/README.md }

Great, essential mod. Hope you’re doing well.
Working with 3.10.2 - changed the package to 3.10 instead of 3.9 and it loads without issues
Confirm working well for 3.10.x
EDIT: I copied the 1.3.0 Config file and replaced the 1.2.3 config file and now it works in 3.8.3 without issues !
I’m out of ideas - I know I’m still using 3.8.3 but it was working fine before.
I even re-downloaded the mod v1.2.3 for 3.8.3 and now it gives me a “ENOENT” Error
Thank you for your work! Really an awesome mod!
Hey Max, I’m using this with the color converter API mod. I changed all the color values in config for maps to custom hex values and it seems to be working just fine (noticed in the README, you said you weren’t sure if it worked). I’ll keep you updated if anything breaks, but it’s working just fine with that and all my other current mods .
FEATURE REQUEST:
Any way you could add the tier list back in, but maybe just have it in the item description instead of overlaying the graphic?
QUESTION (probably dumb):
Is there a way to change the junk key color background in the config? If not, would it be easy to implement that? Would be nice to have control over that too while I’m changing around the background colors per map to my liking!
Cheers, and thanks for the mod!
I noticed that on the config.json file, one of the parameters says: “behindTheLoock”, is it a typo for “Lock” ? Just to clarify, thank you.
Has anyone had any luck using the ColorConverterAPI to allow custom background colors for they keys? I installed the API then attempted changing the colors in the Better keys config.json to hex but it won’t work just spits out errors.
