Introduction
Y O Uㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ⠀⠀W I L L⠀⠀D I E.
This mod brings Twitch Streamers directly into your raids - literally. Encounter PMCs and PSCAVs with "TTV" or "Twitch" in their names, who are always fast and deadly, making every encounter with them a true Tarkov experience. Not only that, this mod adds ability to change personalities of others, randomize them completely and scale custom SAIN preset with your PMC level, expanding what SAIN can offer. Read more in the Configuration File below!
And remember - This mod doesn't bring any fun. Prepare to be outplayed, outsprayed and outgunned.
"Smiiile!" 
Compatible with Fika***
* THIS IS NOT TESTED WITH HEADLESS CLIENT! But you're good to go if you're being the host while also running same SPT server you launched your game from!
Here's some honest reviews of our satisfied customers while you read the mod page
Installing and setting up
Drag the root folder inside the archive you downloaded and drop it in your SPT game folder. Tada! Mod will be working once NicknamePersonalities.json will be generated if you just updated your SAIN to the latest version. Recommended to double-check if you have latest SAIN with Bot Callsigns installed!
Built-In SAIN Preset
While this mod not only provides you a way with setting personalities and names however you want as well as adding Twitch Streamers into the game it also comes with SAIN Preset that can scale its difficulty over time you level up your PMC all thanks to 1.6.0 update that now includes Progressive SAIN Difficulty Scaling!
For better experience I suggest using built-in SAIN preset (Death Wish [Twitch Players]) that will pop up in your F6 SAIN menu after installing this mod.
- But.. What's the purpose? I have my own preset I play with!
It is recommended but not entirely required to use this preset. Its purpose is to bring balance between hardcore and fair play while maintaining live-like behavior of SCAVs and Rogues. Try it and give me feedback in the comments or SPT Official Server
For better experience I recommend turning doors off in SAIN preset to minimize bots getting stuck in the doors.
**FIKA: Note that this is a SERVER mod. It does not sync SAIN preset across multiple clients. It makes changes only on HOST machine with the idea in mind that the HOST AND SERVER always will be the raid host launched from one place.
**Configuration File
"globalMode" - Can be true or false. If enabled, will ignore your_names.json but will make use of personalitiesToUse, assigning personalities you have there randomly based on weighting you put to ALL OF THE NAMES. Want everyone to be a GigaChad? Enable Global mode and set "GigaChad": 100 in your personalitiesToUse - And you're good to go! Want everyone to be a rat or balance this out by yourself? It's all up to you now! Wanna have random personalities all the time? Just put them all in and give the weightings you need while leaving globalMode enabled - You'll never know what hit ya!
"personalitiesToUse" - Can beRat, SnappingTurtle, Chad, GigaChad, Wreckless, Timmy, Normal, Coward. This is useful if you wanna force all Twitch Players to other personality or randomize these personalities you set (look randomisePersonalitiesOnServerStart). The structure of this is now changed, it looks like this - "Personality": 50 <--- This is weighting, ranging from 0 to 100.
"randomizePersonalitiesOnServerStart" - Will randomize personalities every server start up. Useful if you have more personalities added in personalitiesToUse than one.Uses weightings since 1.5.0 version
"SAINProgressiveDifficulty" - Can be true or false. If set to true, the current custom SAIN preset will progressively scale its difficulty the more you level up your PMC. This system has 7 tiers of difficulties built in, each tied to a specific range of levels. You'll see what difficulty tier you are in SPT console!
"SAINAlwaysSetPresetDefaults" - Can be true or false. If set to true, will return custom SAIN preset to its original state every time if SAINProgressiveDifficulty was turned off. Useful if you want to play how it was intended to be played before Progressive Difficulty was introduced.
"autoUpdateSAINPreset"- Will check and update existing custom SAIN preset if it's out of date, if it doesn't exist it will install it inside your right away! Enabled by default. Useful if you liked the preset or made any changes and don't want them to be overwritten.
"liveMode" - Can be true or false. Read about live mode at the bottom of the page.
"junklessLogging" - Can be true or false. If set to true, mod will output less information in SPT console about changes/actions.
"SAINProgressiveDifficultyDesiredProfile" - Crafted for Fika users. Will make changes to the preset on the SPT server host if desired profile logs in. Highly recommended for host to use this setting to prevent any sudden preset changes by other clients when opening SPT Launcher. You can find your profile ID in your SPT Launcher right below your username when you login. It will look like this - 675c0c2d00043b5241599235.
Adding your own personalities by name
Now, if you wanna use your custom names and personalities - Don't worry!
All you gotta do is make sure these names exist in Bot Callsigns mod in any of these files located at:
YOUR_SPT\user\mods\BotCallsigns\config\bear_extra_names.json YOUR_SPT\user\mods\BotCallsigns\config\usec_extra_names.json
Now that you've added them, locate the next file of the original mod you've installed:
YOUR_SPT\user\mods\TTV-Players\names\your_names.json
Open it and you'll be greeted by already existing custom names there but I will leave one example here if you plan on adding more:
"yourName":"GigaChad",
"myName":"Chad",
"ILoveSPT":"Wreckless"
Check if addExtraNames in Bot Callsigns mod is set to true, otherwise names will never be added.
Save and close the file once you're done and you're good to go!
Live Mode
Live mode purpose is to purely refresh the temporary names and refresh its own storage file for the names for next use in real time.
Here's how it works if you enable it (in Bot Callsigns config file!!!):** 1) Bot Callsigns mod checks for all valid names and creates a temporary file at Twitch Players mod directory containing all BEAR and USEC names.
2) Twitch Players mod reads the file and filters it into its own file called ttv_names.json while also catching your_names.json if that is enabled.
3) If personality was changed in the config, it will also change it in its generated file.
4) Pushes updated names to the SAIN file**.
Without Live Mode it looks like this:** 1) Twitch Players use already existing ttv_names.json and pushes that file into SAIN's file. **This is usually recommended to enable when you have your own names that don't go by default in Bot Callsigns mod. This setting must be enabled in both BotCallsigns config file to start working. See the SPT console for more info when enabling this - and report any errors if you see! 
What's New
- Updated SAIN preset file structure to the latest, possibly resolving SCAVs being friendly or any other issues with preset. It will be automatically updated/installed.
- Small code clean-up
- Improved comments in configuration file
Note: Vanilla SCAVs option is turned off. If you feel like they're too unfair, please enable it back in General settings of SAIN preset
Anyways, have fun... Or not

Hotfix.
It is required for you to update if you used, or wish using SAIN Progressive Difficulty Scaling.
This hotfix possibly resolves in-raid game crash, preventing mod to overwrite files while you're in game. Instead, this will only be ran once once you login in your profile or logging in a new one (or when you just open SPT launcher)
Handles profile registration and runs any time before you start playing. Thanks for feedback!

With 1.6.0 version now introducing Progressive SAIN Difficulty Scaling.
It has 7 tiers tied to a range of your PMC level and every profile login settings will be set accordingly. Easy early wipe, fair play, tough end-game. For built-in preset only (Death Wish [Twitch Players])
To enable this, set SAINProgressiveDifficulty to true.
Your existing custom SAIN preset will be automatically installed/updated. Have fun!
More about this update:
- Progressive SAIN Difficulty Scaling adjusts only Global Settings for now.
- Each tier has a set of settings, intended to make your game easier or harder with this SAIN preset according to your PMC level.
- Personalities are untouched. You'll still get twitch streamers in game which are fairly good at any tier.

SAIN Preset Update. It will be automatically updated/installed once you update the mod.
- Fully revised shootable ammo: Even more shootable 9x19, 9x18, 9x39, 5,56x45 NATO, 5,45x39, 7,62x25 TT, 12/20 gauge including pistol rounds!
- Revised shootable weapons - There are some slight changes so they're not worth mentioning (Return of semi-auto MP-153?)
- Lowered global accuracy and precision coefficient
- Cover maximum distance was minimized to 20
- Small tweaks and changes to personalities - Timmy personality now can also be randomly assigned to a low level (up to 15). Good luck figuring out if that PMC is an unhinged pro or a lost child

Before updating to this version, I kindly ask you to please read what exactly this update does. It will take you around ~3 minutes.
SAIN Preset Update
- Recoil changes: PMCs now will take less time recovering from recoil, as well as find the "shootable" ammo more "shootable". What does this mean? The ammo like 9x19PARA that is usually used for weapons like Vector (you'll meet PMCs carrying these on higher levels) or Glocks and weapons that use 9x39 like VSS/VSK WILL have less recoil impact on PMC bots. The closer you are, the higher the chance of a bot to spray you down. Although more feedback needed, this is how it feels for me:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpVVTWQhj4Q
- PMCs take cover if you're really far away and if the cover is really close instead of running faaar away. This is done to prevent them to start running to cover when you're already dumping a mag into them in close quarters.
- Rogues are now less aimbotty, although their vanilla AI is turned on. Their FoV turned down to 100 (180-->100).
- Chads no longer frequently taunt.
- Wreckless, GigaChad and SnappingTurtle no longer shifting to covers.
- For Wreckless personality slightly increased Accuracy, Gain Sight and Precision coefficients.

- Doors are disabled. But you can still enable them back if map surroundings feel a little bit off.
- Enabled vanilla AI for the following - SCAVs, Rogues, Bosses, Followers. Only Goons, Cultists and PMCs are up for a challenge against you. This is done for more live-like feel and a bit of game-relief when fighting against SCAVs as it's now not a big deal (because they're dumb as hell).
