Update instructions: You MUST delete any previous version of the Gambler trader in SPT/user/mods before updating as the file name has been changed to help with load order and mod balancing. You WILL have errors if you don't.

• Fixed compatibility issue with new live flea prices update as the gambler trader was loading before price changes which made container price balancing inaccurate. As a result the mod folder name has changed again to fix load order, any previous version of the Gambler trader must be deleted before installing this update.

0.2.4 includes changes to a few mystery containers, config additions, and bug fixes. This is a smaller update than I wanted to push out, but new content like poker chip currency, new mystery boxes, and quest line will be included in the next major update.

PATCH NOTES

Mystery Loadout Generation

• Overhauled stimulant generation to better generate more useful stims like morphine, propital, etc...
• Reduced chance of receiving lower end equipment with high-end loadouts
• Slightly reduced chance of generating high-end loadouts (more balanced this way)
• medical items for heavy and light bleeds always generate one item instead of having a chance for multiple or none
• fixed a few issues with shotgun round generation
• fixed a few issues with helmet/headset incompatibilities
• fixed issue with SIG MCX Spear not generating ammunition

Mystery GP Coin

• Increased cost from 1 GP Coin to 25
• Rewards 50 GP coins on successful coin flip

Mystery Ammo

• Reverted from unlimited stock to limited quantities, can always be easily changed in the config.
• fixed 12.7x55 price generation as it was bugged before and prices for that caliber have been normalized
• Adjusted prices of many ammunition, which has slightly lowered the prices of mystery ammo gambles

Config

• Added ability to disable unlimited stock for each mystery box, and set a custom stock limit.
• Added ability to disable automatically generated prices so you can set your own price for each mystery box
• Added ability to change found in raid status of rewards for each mystery box.

Fixes

• changed mod folder name for better load order position which will help with balancing with other mods
• Fixed Mystery Loadout flea market price from being extremely cheap
• only applicable if you have a mod that disables the flea market blacklist, as all mystery boxes are flea market banned by default
• Fixed missing ammunition from Mystery 12.7x55

SPT 3.9.x

LOAD ORDER: Make sure TheGambler loads last or close to last, as any mod you have that manipulates flea market or trader prices will have a major effect on the balancing of each gambling container.

Update 0.2.3 includes updates to loadout generation, major balancing changes, a few new additions to the weapon mystery box, and more...

Loadout Generation

• Added splints to generation pool
• Added grenades to generation pool
• Added face coverings to generation pool
• Each tier of loadout will have a slight chance of generating equipment and items of a higher or lower rarity
  • This change is meant to add more variety as now generation of items isn't guaranteed to be of a certain rarity. For example scav tier loadouts can sometimes generate better armour or better backpack, etc...
• Removed chance to receive stock weapons
  • Scav tier weapons have replaced the chance for the original chance of stock weapons, as the scav tier weapon pool has a lot more weapons to generate from in this update

Weapon Mystery Box

• Added 50 new scav tier weapons
• Added 12 new semi-modded weapons
• Added 11 new meme/cursed weapons
  • Includes a new meme tier Golden foil wrapped AKM (My first attempt at learning the unity editor and learning how to create assets)
• Added 18 default weapons
  • All default weapons available in Tarkov are now available to be unboxed

Mystery Keycard

• Slightly increased odds for rarer keycards

Automatic Mystery Container Price Balancer

• All mystery containers (excluding Mystery Loadout) are now officially price generated by the automatic price balancer.
  • Weapon Mystery Box and Mystery Helmet will calculate the price of the base weapon/helmet and all the included attachments when determining the final container price.
• Rewrote how containers are price generated. Now all calculations are much more accurate than the previous implementation.
• Container price generation during server load is now much faster, pretty much instantaneous.

BALANCING:

• Most Mystery Containers now have infinite trader stock as I'm much more confident with the automatic price balancing as this change allows the player to gamble until they are broke.

• Re-calibrated overall chance to profit on all containers:

  • With the change of allowing infinite container stock and better automatic price balancing, all containers are set at a fair price to allow the player to gamble to their hearts content. Most containers will be a little more expensive than before, but keep in mind there is always a chance to strike it rich, as everything is a gamble.

• The only main issue I am having with balancing is the price of blacklisted items that don't have a finite price that everyone agrees on. This is something that will continue to updated on. Blacklisted item prices like ammo and armour can always be changed in the config at "mystery_container_override_price" if you want to take a look at how I've been pricing items that are injected into the automatic price balancer.

Fixes:

• Fixed mistakenly mixed up weapon mystery box tiers, which created weapons of different tiers than expected.

New Meme tier Golden Foil AKM available in the Weapon Mystery Box

**SPT 3.9.x

Bug Fixes

• Fixed Error when unboxing Ref Unlocked Weapon Crate

SPT 3.9.x

Known Bugs: There is an error that occurs when unboxing the new Ref weapon crates, I'm currently looking into this issue Fixed in update 0.2.2

Update 0.2.1: Includes a balancing patch for the new Mystery Loadout generator and new keys in the Mystery Key container

CHANGES:

Mystery Loadout

• Slightly Reduced chance of receiving very low end equipment and weapons as these items were generating much more frequently than intended
• Meme/cursed weapons now have a better chance at generating higher end gear and ammo
• Generated Helmets that are not headset compatible will now not generate headsets in the loadout at all
• Improved Food generation consistency
• Reduced trader stock slightly (You can always increase this in the config if you want more stock or price lowering as I'm still trying to balance the price in future upates)

Mystery Key

• Added 73 new keys to the loot pool, including the new Ref trader keys

CONFIG:

• Made notes of each mystery container that aren't currently price generated on server startup, prices of these containers can always be changed manually in the config

SPT 3.9.0

FIXES

• Fixed bug when unboxing any Mystery Ammo container would generate an invalid amount of ammunition which caused any Gambler generated ammo sold on the flea market to error out.
  • It is probably best to delete all previously unboxed ammunition from the Gambler as these rounds may cause an unknown amount of errors.

SPT 3.9.0

Updated for SPT 3.9.0

• Fixed a few locales
• Minor mystery container profit percentage balancing

(Will update a few mystery containers with new SPT 3.9.0 items in future update 0.2.0)

SPT 3.8.3 - I have edited the (0.1.11) bug fix into this version as it was a major bug

If you are updating this mod be sure to delete the mod folder "TheGambler" in SPT/user/mods, then install the new version

0.1.9 This update includes a few bug fixes and a couple features, but mainly a balancing update to the new Ammo Mystery containers. My thinking is that I want Mystery Ammo to be a viable way to slowly generate good ammo, albeit kinda expensive. Maybe even locking away some of the better caliber Mystery Ammos behind quest reward unlocks in the future, but as of now it's something I'm thinking about.

Added

• Mystery Food:
  • Contains every food and drink available in Tarkov

BALANCING

• Rebalanced odds of Mystery Tactical Rig
• Lowered profitability calculation of Premium Armor Mystery Box by 10%
• Decreased stock and maximum rounds generated for most Mystery Ammo containers

CONFIG

• Cleaned up config details to be more readable
• Added Toggles for each mystery container type, such that if you want to disable a mystery container from being sold by the Gambler you can do so

FIXES

• Fixed Bitcoin and GP coin games not showing the roll result in server console
• Fixed Premium Armor Mystery Box profitability calculation not working as intended
• Fixed handbook/flea market prices of most Mystery Containers so they aren't extremely cheap. All Mystery Containers are flea market banned by default, but if you have a mod that disables the flea market blacklist they will appear on the flea market.

KNOWN BUGS

• Generated Mystery Ammo sold on the flea market can bug out and can return as a negative round. All Mystery ammo will now generate as not found in raid for now.

If you are updating this mod be sure to delete the mod folder "TheGambler" in SPT/user/mods, then install the new version

Update 0.1.8 includes fully automated price balancing of mystery containers and a few new mystery containers in preparation for update 0.2.0, which will include the Loadout Mystery Box. This update addresses most balancing issues for many mystery containers and will make adding new mystery boxes in the future much easier as balancing of all new containers is now fully automated.

NEW

• Mystery Tactical Rig
• Mystery Ammo
  • Mystery Ammo is available for every caliber of ammo available in Tarkov
• Mystery Bitcoin 50/50
• Mystery GP Coin 50/50

BALANCING

• Added - Mystery Container Automatic Price Balancer
  • All Mystery Containers (excluding Weapon Mystery Box and Helmet Mystery Box for now...) will now automatically price balance itself upon server startup and the generated prices depend on three factors:
    1. Flea market price of all rewards available from the Mystery Container
    2. Mystery container odds (configurable)
    3. Expected profit percentage of the mystery container (configurable)
  • Now no matter if you are using another mod that manipulates flea market prices like the Live Flea Prices mod, or have manually configured prices of items yourself, all Mystery Containers prices will compensate for such changes. The goal is to have all containers as precisely price balanced as possible and this is the first step I have taken to accomplish this.
  • This addition is NOT perfect and relies on a NEW 'Override' feature I have created in the config file that updates the prices of many blacklisted ammos and armors that should be much more expensive than they really are. This helps mystery containers generate much more realistic prices.
• Rebalanced - Mystery Wallet odds and rewards
• Rebalanced - Mystery Headset

CONFIG

• Added price multiplier to easily alter the price of all Gambler mystery containers at once
• Added expected profit for each Mystery Container which will influence its price with the new automatic price balancer.
• Added range of minimum to maximum rounds that are generated when unboxing a Mystery Ammo Container per ammo caliber
• Added Odds and stock of each new Mystery Ammo Container
• Added "Override" prices for blacklisted ammo/armor that I though were too cheap. This helps the automated price balancer generate more realistic prices as I believe some blacklisted ammos/armors should be much more expensive than its handbook price. This is of course configurable and you can turn this override off if you have a mod that alters blacklisted ammo/armor prices and you are satisfied with those prices

FIXES

• Fixed error when inventory cannot locate opened mystery container
• Fixed Backpack Mystery Container not rewarding extremely rare backpacks
• Fixed a few missing high-end armors from the Mystery Armor Box

Added

• Headset Mystery Box
• Backpack Mystery Box
• Added 66 new weapons to the Weapon Mystery Box including a new weapon category "Scav Weapons"
• Added 45 new keys to the Mystery Key
• Ability to change trader inventory refresh time in the config

Balancing

• Altered odds and prices of multiple mystery containers

Fixes

- Fixed invalid Armor from Armor Mystery Box that caused game crashes. (Thanks Käs)

Major Bug Patch

Fixes

BETA VERSION 0.1.0

SPT 3.8.3 Final Release

Update 0.2.0

• Includes everything in the above patchnotes, except the addition of the Kukri in the Melee Mystery Box

SPT 3.9.0

3.8.3 version available below

Update 0.2.0 - Feeling too lazy to gather all the gear you need before loading into a raid? In this new update, the Gambler offers everything you need at the click of a button with the new Loadout Mystery Bag. This update also includes the new Medical Mystery Kit, a few mystery container changes, and a balancing overhaul for a few other mystery containers

ADDED

• Loadout Mystery Bag
  • One kit, one unbox. Includes all gear and equipment you need for a raid—all in one mystery box.
  • Items include:
    • Weapon, Extra Magazines, Ammo, Helmet, Armour, Rig, Backpack, Food, Drink, and Medical Supplies
  • Unboxed items are randomly generated and correlate by rarity, meaning if you unbox a meta/highly modded weapon you will have a high chance of generating high end gear and equipment with it. Semi-modded and lower tier weapons will have a higher chance of generating gear of lower rarity as well. Although if you receive a meme/cursed weapon all gear generation will be completely random just for complete meme tier randomness.
  • This feature is still a work in progress and is not perfect. More config options and balancing will appear in future updates, which allow the ability to adjust the loadout odds and items for yourself if you'd like.
• Weapon Mystery Box
  • Added 69 new Weapons:
    • 22 heavily modded weapons
    • 27 semi-modded weapons
    • 13 scav tier weapons
    • 7 meme tier weapons
    • A few existing weapons were redesigned.
• Mystery Medical Kit
  • The Gambler offers a fresh set of medical supplies, in exchange for a few barter medical items.
• Mystery Melee
  • Added Kukri to loot pool.

BALANCING

• Weapon Mystery Box (Buff)
  • Reconfigured the odds for each rarity, Greatly reducing the chance of receiving a base weapon with zero added attachments as these weapons had a really high chance before and were very boring to receive as frequently as they were previously.
• Mystery Ammo: (Buff)
  • Increased the minimum and maximum amount of ammunition generated for most calibers.
  • Increased chances of receiving rarer ammunition.
  • Reduced trader stock significantly.
• Mystery Keycard: (Buff)
  • Removed chance to receive nothing as a reward.
  • Increased chances to unbox a few rare Keycards.
  • Price will rice accordingly with these changes.
• Mystery Wallet: (Slight Buff)

  • Added new odds to receive 25k Roubles, slighly buffing the mystery wallet and reducing the chance of receiving nothing to 25%.

  • Altered other remaining odds slightly.

• A few other containers have had their odds and expected profit adjusted.

CHANGES

• Updated many mystery container descriptions.

• Refactored and overhauled Gambling mechanic and design of Mystery Containers in preparation for the ability to let players be able to create their own mystery containers with the capability of being shared with others. (future update...)

• Increased speed of mystery container price generation during server startup.

• Fixed .366 Mystery Ammo price generation from erroring out and becoming a default price.
