This is a list of answers to possible questions about editing the mod.
1. Question: Which config files can be edited?
Answer: All of them. Just be careful and follow JSON syntax.
2. Question: There are too many logs in the server terminal, can I disable them all?
Answer: Yes. Open config.json in the mod folder and change “enableLogging”: true to “enableLogging”: false.
3. Question: I don’t want to see logs about skipped ammo in the server terminal, how do I disable them?
Answer: Open config.json in the mod folder and change “logSkippedAmmo”: true to “logSkippedAmmo”: false.
4. Question: I want all the ammo to be available at trader loyalty level 1 instead of 3-4, can I do that?
Answer: Yes. Open config.json in the mod folder and change “overrideLoyaltyLevel”: false to “overrideLoyaltyLevel”: true.
5. Question: How do I change the quantity of ammo available per restock?
Answer: You need to open the ammo_traders folder at mod/config/ammo_traders, open the config for the trader you want, find the ID of the ammo you want to change (use https://db.sp-tarkov.com/search, you need the
“_id” string), then find this ID in the config and change “buy_restriction_max” to the quantity you want.
6. Question: How do I change the prices of the ammo?
Answer: Same as above, but you need to change the “price”.
7. Question: How do I add my own ammo to a trader?
Answer: First, check if they haven’t already been added by my mod by reading config.json. If your desired ammo isn’t listed in the config, add it to config.json with its full name, for example, “.300 Blackout M62 Tracer”: true. You can find the full name of the ammo using the website https://db.sp-tarkov.com/search/57a0e5022459774d1673f889. Find the ammo you want and at the bottom look for “Locale”, you need the “Name” string, for example, for SP-6 ammo it’s “9x39mm SP-6 gs”.
Next, open the config for the trader you want, for example, ammo_jaeger.json in the ammo_traders folder, and create your ammo following this template:
{ “ammo_id”: “ID from db.sp-tarkov.com”, “buy_restriction_max”: Number of available ammo to purchase per restock, “price”: Price, “loyalty_level”: Trader loyalty level (default is 3 or 4) } 8. Question: Can I edit JSON files using Notepad?
Answer: Yes, but only if you are familiar with JSON syntax. You can use a website like https://jsonlint.com/ to check syntax errors.
9. Question: How do I create my own ammo_trader.json?
Answer: Open traders_id.json in the config folder and copy the name of the trader you want. This config lists only the old traders (No Ref). Then create your own ammo_trader.json in the config/ammo_traders folder, for example, ammo_therapist.json, and write:
{ “Therapist”: [ { “ammo_id”: “”, “buy_restriction_max”: 0, “price”: 0, “loyalty_level”: 0 }, { “ammo_id”: “”, “buy_restriction_max”: 0, “price”: 0, “loyalty_level”: 0 }, { “ammo_id”: “”, “buy_restriction_max”: 0, “price”: 0, “loyalty_level”: 0 } ] } Then add the necessary ammo entries.
10. Question: Can I add custom ammo to a trader?
Answer: More likely yes than no. If my mod loads after the trader mod, then yes, but you’ll need to find its ID and add it to the traders_id.json file.
11. Question: Can I change the currency that Peacekeeper sells mod-added ammo for?
Answer: Yes. Open traders_id.json, find the trader you need, and change their “currency” to the ID of the desired currency. Don’t forget to adjust the prices of ammo in ammo_traders.json to something more realistic.
