I'm a software engineer by day. My spare time outside of family is spent playing video games and tinkering. My tinkering includes software, microelectronics, building computers, 3D modeling & printing, wood working, and whatever else I can break and put back together (hopefully still functioning).

I'm pretty relaxed so feel free to shoot me PM here or @ me in the SPT or Fika Discords.

A longer About me is in a pinned comment on my wall.

Extended About Me:

I’m a software engineer by day. My spare time outside of family is spent playing video games and tinkering. My tinkering includes software, microelectronics, building computers, 3D modeling & printing, wood working, and whatever else I can break and put back together (hopefully still functioning).

I started playing live Tarkov in early 2020. I remember trying SPT in 2021, but only briefly and I didn’t spend much time with it. I stopped playing Tarkov in 2022 and only started again in early 2024. My cousin and I wanted to play PvE together but we really disliked the load times, bugs, and server instability so I revisited SPT and we’ve been playing SPT with Fika ever since (3.9, 3.10, and now 3.11)

I currently play on Windows but I run the SPT.Server.exe and a headless client in docker containers on Linux. I also just got a mini PC (Minisforum UM780 XTX) to tinker with as a server on which I currently have a headless client running in Windows. So I think the only case I don’t get to test the mods I maintain before releasing them is running on Linux itself.

My contributions to the SPT community so far have been trying to fill gaps and fix issues I come across that I think I can handle. I don’t consider myself very creative so I’m not sure I’ll ever create a mod but I’ve taken over maintenance of a few mods that I’ve used and/or seen interest in resurrecting. I’ve also contributed to the following:

I’m pretty relaxed so feel free to shoot me PM here or @ me in the SPT or Fika Discords if you have any questions.

Someone by the name of Rzambol reuploaded an updated version of your mod to the hub. Members on the SPT Discord have reported performance issues with other mods ported by Rzambol. I just wanted to reach out to you and let you know. If Rzambol did not contact you or ask for your permission first, you may report the mod and have it taken down.

I would encourage you to report the mod as this user appears to be a repeat offender.
Event Auto Profile Backup 1.7.1 (Ported to 3.11)

Hey! I appreciate the heads up!

I saw the mod port a few hours after it was uploadd and I actually commented on it offering to upload it under my posting to keep it all clean. I was not aware of that additional context (of them being a repeat offender of causing performance issues) so I’m glad that never happened.

They definitely did not (and have not) reached out to me in any way but it looks like it’s already been taken down. I’d actually started looking at their Github repo for it (which is still up at https://github.com/Tolek-Banan/spt-eventautoprofilebackup). With that additional context, I’m going to look into the changes they supposedly made to at least see if there was anything malicious and report to the mods if I find anything. The seem to have taken my last upload, made some changes, and then just uploaded the files to their repo. At minimum, that repo clearly shows that they don’t know the basics of just making a fork of the public repo I have (which is listed on Event Auto Profile Backup) and then working from there or submitting a PR to it. All of which further backs up the claims of poor porting skills

This version will remain up for 3.11 but I will not be posting a version for SPT 4.0 as Cj has taken back over maintenance. He has posted a version for SPT 4.0 at https://forge.sp-tarkov.com/mod/2386/use-items-anywhere.

Edited mod

Tabs {.tabset} ============== Features and Usage ------------------ ### **Features** Set Quick Use keybinds for items anywhere in your player inventory. In vanilla Tarkov you can set Quick Use keybinds to items in your - Pockets - Tactical Rig - Special Slots This mod allows you to also set Quick Use keybinds to items in your - Backpack - Secured Container - other containers nested in one of the above containers. - ex: a Zagustin Injector inside of an injector case. That injector case could then be - just in your pocket - or inside a rig, inside a backpack, in the backpack on your player ### **Usage** Set Quick Use keybinds exactly as you do in vanilla! Hover 1. Find the item you want to keybind for Quick Use 2. Hover your mouse over that item 3. Press the keybind to which you want to set the item under your mouse cursor Drag 1. Find the item you want to keybind for Quick Use 2. Drag that item onto the Quick Use slot to which you want to set that item (If there are other methods in vanilla to set Quick Use keybinds, they probably work as well but please let me know because I'd love to learn about them!) Installation ------------ This must be installed on all clients and the raid host. If you use a headless/dedicated client, it must be installed there as well. Extract zip and drop BepInEx folder inside of your SPTarkov folder Demonstration Video (this is for SAIN, which also has a user folder, but the same concept applies to all of my mods). Credit to Drakia for the video ![vKRw58b.gif](https://i.imgur.com/vKRw58b.gif) Known Issues ------------ ### Fika For full functionality, the mod must be installed on all clients (so it must be installed on a headless client if you're using one). If the mod is not installed on the client hosting the raid, you will be limited to vanilla-behavior while in raid. - You can only add bindings to items in your pockets or rig for the duration of the raid. - The bindings created while out of raid are kept and will continue to work during the raid Credits ------- Original Mod by Dirtbikercj. Re-posted for 3.11 with permission. Please show him lots of love. I've agreed to handle maintenance going forward but he's the real creator. He's given a lot to this community and deserves all the credit and praise, and none of the grief that's been shown him in the past. I hope he makes his way back to modding but I wish him the best regardless. Edit: Cj is back to modding! I will keep this for 3.11 but he will be taking over maintenance, starting with SPT 4.0.
