- Added provocation quest and Saferoom Exfil extract info on keycard "Object #11SR keycard"

Thanks go to Auvergne on this one!

- Added JSONC support to allow for useful comments in the config file

- Added possibility to prefix all key shortnames with a configurable prefix.

The config entry to activate the option is shortNameInfo.

Then you can choose the prefix for each map in the config file using the entry named prefixes.

This change comes from DeadW0lf who has been added as a co-author on this mod

Default values are:

// if you want to have all key short names prefixed with standardized to letter codes "shortNameInfo": false, // if shortNameInfo is true, you can configure your Prefixes here, no effect otherwise "prefixes": { "Factory": "FC", "Customs": "CS", "Woods": "WD", "Shoreline": "SL", "Interchange": "IS", "The Lab": "LB", "Reserve": "RB", "Lighthouse": "LH", "Streets of Tarkov": "ST", "Ground Zero": "GZ" },

- Removed the hard coded way of choosing the junk key color. Now this color

is configurable in the config file under the "Junk" keyword. See config file

for details. Default value in the provided config file is still "black"

- Successfully tested support for Color Converter API, this means

you can use html color codes in your config file as long as you have this

client mod installed. Be aware that removing the color mod and having html color

codes in your config will NOT throw errors during server start but will

make the client crash during start with an error message about JSON color

conversion failures. In this case either remove all color codes from your

config file or reinstall Color Converter API
