This looks super cool🔥🔥🔥 Just a concern: Tarkov seems very VRAM hungry on my setup, texture on “medium” would use 10g of my 12g VRAM, and the Texture is not even the best yet, would my 12g VRAM handle this kind of texture in tarkov?😭

I have a 2080S with 8GB of vram and am targeting my mod around that limitation so the most amount of people can play with it. Although the vram usage with increasing quality can only really go up I am doing my best to balance the two. For example. My CPU cooler model doesn't actually use any textures. I just have it colored. So the only thing it is holding in vram is the geometry data and instancing. If it was 2k textures the model would be around 100MB of vram for the 3 LODs and texture data but since I dont have any textures in it the geo data brings that down to around 12MB. The 3 LODs make it so that your game is only loading the full geometry when you're very close to it so that you dont take a big hit on framerate either

#

That motor for example has a 2k diffuse texture (the color data) a 1k normal map (height data) and a 512 texture for roughness to optimize it as much as possible

I use textureless material creation where possible but some models will be more intensive than others. The biggest impact this mod will probably have is for those people who use lots of loose loot mods and are close to a lot of objects. So far my testing has simply included dropping one of each of my modded items to see if there is a framerate change and so far it seems to be <1 fps change with all the items on the floor right in front of me

A lot of barter items texture size is 512x512 for all maps from what ive seen But theres more than texture data being held in vram. Anything that would need to be instantly shown will be in vram. This includes geometry data for the maps too. Things like junk on the floor and where it is positioned in accordance to other items. This has a big effect on maps like streets where the items are everywhere and are separate objects. I am no client modder but from what Ive seen there could be progress made on the LOD side of things to help with performance but I haven't looked too much into map files to see how they're building that geo

So as of the latest release I have optimized it as much as possible. I have a friend who is playing on 1440p with an rx590 and he is doing fine with it. Right now the biggest limiting factor for them will be their vram but overall it shouldn't be more than 100mb more Vram than the base game right now. I don't have a proper way of testing this yet so I don't have hard data. I can say that I have dropped all of the current items on the floor at once and staring directly at the pile I didn't drop a single fps

Updates might be slightly slower. Started a new IT job but I'm working on getting 5 models added for the next update

gritty temple Feb 5, 2025, 8:35 PM

#

This one was quite a bit of work to Retopo for a game asset. Started as 213k tris on the left. Got down to 29k tris on the right for the LOD 0

gritty temple Feb 6, 2025, 4:35 AM

#

LOD 0 in game now. Need to get one or two more LODs added in but at the moment the file size for the SAS drive went from 1410KB (EFT Asset) > 379KB (My Asset) This will go up a bit with the added LODs but I am not using any textures for this asset so its running very lean and will help balance some of the more intense models in my mod.

gritty temple Feb 6, 2025, 4:56 AM

#

LOD 1 will have 16k Tris
LOD 2 has 2.5K Tris
Culled After LOD 2

LOD0 essentially is right near the object. LOD 1 is if you're in the same room approx.
LOD2 is if it is loose and you're down the hall. Any further and its not being rendered.

@gritty temple pepeHmm nothing mod related, but can I ask how you override bsg’s items or bundles? We want to kind of try to load empty textures and such on the headless client rather than the ones the game loads in, however modifying the game’s base files is not really viable

#

Or empty sound files kekw as those are things we cant easily unload

gritty temple Feb 6, 2025, 6:11 AM

#

fresh sparrow <@407654024964210689> <:pepeHmm:1239872678857408532> nothing mod related, but ca...

So in theory what you could do is build a bundle in unity for a basic item. Then you can go through the EscapeFromTarkov_Data folder and replace bundles for the items with the empty bundle. You just need to make sure that the bundle names match as you replace them. I have done some wonky bundles and when I first started this project I just overwrote the bundles in the data folder to test. It does work. You could probably make a power shell script to look in a folder and replace the bundle with yours and name it the same so you could automate it.

#

There's a chance you could just make a file called ledx.bundle for example like straight up not even use unity. And replace the asset. Since the headless host doesn't pull up images it doesn't matter if there's doges everywhere lol

gritty temple Feb 6, 2025, 6:16 AM

#

fresh sparrow <@407654024964210689> <:pepeHmm:1239872678857408532> nothing mod related, but ca...

Can confirm. Just tried it. Made a txt document and named it the same as the bundle with the .bundle extension and game loaded just fine

#

So all we would need to do is setup a script to do the same thing recursively starting at the ./items directory

#

The only thing this wouldnt fix though is server mods and you would have to go through the user/cache for those too. Although I'm not sure if the bundle verification checks hashs or if its just checking filenames

fresh sparrow Feb 6, 2025, 6:19 AM

#

pepeNoted

gritty temple Feb 6, 2025, 6:19 AM

#

What I really need though is a way to refresh bundles in game....

#

That way I dont have to stop server, swap file, start server, cache clear, launch each time I do an iterative change

#

I was hoping Unity explorer would do that but I haven't seen it having the ability

fresh sparrow Feb 6, 2025, 6:25 AM

#

gritty temple There's a chance you could just make a file called ledx.bundle for example like ...

Yeah I suppose so, although it's moreso the guns that would cause a mess I think with their animations KEKW

gritty temple Feb 6, 2025, 6:30 AM

#

The guns might be a problem for sure with doing such method. The barter items and bullets I think would work though through both directories since neither of those types of items will have child items or "mod" slots to conflict with

#

I have also successfully modified map files without a mod. https://youtu.be/lc3nNFScD50?si=wcabBxPC-R3T6gPn. I could probably go through them are rip most of the stuff out of the maps so there's almost nothing the actual headless client is actually rendering. As long as you leave in the collision for the AI paths I can't imagine why it wouldn't work still.

devout ferry Feb 13, 2025, 4:02 AM

#

It's a wonder you even do a lod 2 given I don't think anything in the game has anything more than a lod 1

#

But that's optimization for you, very nice

gritty temple Feb 13, 2025, 4:03 AM

#

Its because I hit LOD 1 basically just past where the viewing window is and I set LOD 2 to hit as soon as you cant tell the changeover. I usually just do a decimate on the LOD 1 to get to the 2 so it only takes a couple of seconds to do

devout ferry Feb 13, 2025, 4:04 AM

#

Ahh gotcha, that's nice

gritty temple Feb 13, 2025, 4:04 AM

#

So on average LOD 1 is at 30% and I try and have LOD 2 at around 15%

devout ferry Feb 13, 2025, 4:04 AM

#

And it wouldn't need any texturing beyond just making it the same color since it's not up close

gritty temple Feb 13, 2025, 4:04 AM

#

Since I am throwing more Polys at peoples PCs I try and keep it as lean as possible

#

exactly

#

and with some models like this I dont really need to actually use a bitmap texture because of the metal look being able to be achieved without it so I can save the vram of not having to have that loaded

#

textures are so much more intensive on ram than geometry so I try and save on them where I can. Especially since the models I have with detailed textures have 2k diff so I have to balance against that elsewhere

devout ferry Feb 13, 2025, 4:12 AM

#

Yea when I made the lod 1 for the redone M1a mags yesterday, it just fixes the angle of the mags so let me know if you want those, there was actually only a 512p texture for the lod1

#

And it was just the diffuse

gritty temple Feb 13, 2025, 4:20 AM

#

Gotcha, Do you make your own textures too or do you just try and find ones that already have the textures done?

devout ferry Feb 13, 2025, 4:21 AM

#

I do try to find ones that have textures already but if I have to make my own textures I'm like a neanderthal in a paint gallery

#

I can process textures and add personal touches to them but I'm fuckin useless doing them from scratch

#

I can recolor just fine for the most part though

gritty temple Feb 13, 2025, 4:22 AM

#

I feel that. My motor is one of the only ones where I did the entire texture from scratch and it took me hours off and on to figure out

devout ferry Feb 13, 2025, 4:23 AM

#

Yea with that my strategy would have been to make everything that is radically different a completely different model but the same material so that I can just mess with smart materials set to different model masks

#

But that one at least has no logos so it would be easier

gritty temple Feb 13, 2025, 4:24 AM

#

Yeah what I did was go through and painted the masks for the different zones and set anchor points for each so when I needed to call back to it the mask took care of where it was being placed

devout ferry Feb 13, 2025, 4:25 AM

#

You're referring to an ID map?

Tarkov HD Item Rework Project - SPT Mods Workshop

A mod to replace items in the game with higher quality assets. Starting with the barter items

currently I have 35/203 barter folders done now (I'm just moving through the list)

gritty temple Mar 12, 2025, 3:49 AM

#

This will be my last update until 3.11. I will continue to get more items replaced but I want to have my mod ready day one for 3.11 and have a nice pretty new update for then as well.

Most of these models I am texturing at this point I do at 4k textures and downscale them for the current mod. In the future if tarkov actually became optimized or hardware could support higher res better then I can update these to even higher res than they already are.

NEW VERSION RELEASE

https://hub.sp-tarkov.com/files/file/2558-tarkov-hd-item-rework-project/#versions

Added:

T-Plug

Raven

OFZ

Updated support to 3.11

NOTE: Currently some items are bugged with the item preview window where they look slightly transparent. I am looking into this and will post an update when I have it resolved. I have also currently not optimized all of the textures so there may be a slight performance hit on this update but I will optimize this for the next release.

If there are any other bugs you discover with this release let me know!

This is also compatible with 3.10 just need to change the package.json to version ~3.10.

Is it possible to create a Hideout behind the ZB011 door with this ?

gritty temple Mar 25, 2025, 5:44 PM

#

surreal fog Is it possible to create a Hideout behind the ZB011 door with this ?

Are you talking like "The" hideout? Or just a lootable area?

surreal fog Mar 25, 2025, 5:45 PM

#

gritty temple Are you talking like "The" hideout? Or just a lootable area?

Lootable area that we could use with leave it there and confort home

gritty temple Mar 25, 2025, 5:47 PM

#

So that is the plan. I just got the database to load now on scene load. The next things I'm tackling are being able to destroy and spawn assets into the map and have those persist. Once those features are in you could definitely make your own area.

surreal fog Mar 25, 2025, 6:38 PM

you can open that door?

#

I never knew you could

gritty temple Mar 25, 2025, 7:41 PM

#

you can't

chilly tinsel Mar 25, 2025, 7:41 PM

#

oh I'm confused then

gritty temple Mar 25, 2025, 7:42 PM

#

hold on

#

lemme make a quick vid to show

chilly tinsel Mar 25, 2025, 7:42 PM

#

alright 👌

gritty temple Mar 25, 2025, 7:52 PM

#

You can move the objects with this mod. But that is not an openable door in the base game. So in order to do what they want they will need to be able to spawn a door in that can be toggled to open. Modify the wall placement so there is an opening. And build in all of the assets to create a hideout area. But then they would be able to upload their custom hideout as a mod that uses my mod as a dependancy and none of that will take any coding knowledge to do

chilly tinsel Mar 25, 2025, 7:56 PM

#

I suppose you could use the in-game hideout version of that door that you get on security level 3

#

so this mod lets you place down basically any map object am I correct? or well that's the intended purpose alongside other things

gritty temple Mar 25, 2025, 7:58 PM

#

True, I just got the code working to load in the changes after you make them so the map can be persistent. The next things Im working on is the ability to spawn new items and delete items in the world. But then yes you should be able to spawn any map object. After that I will integrate the ability to spawn custom map objects and then people will really be able to get wild

chilly tinsel Mar 25, 2025, 7:58 PM

#

oh man custom map objects huh

#

so you could put a model into the mods files and load it into the map you're on?

#

if so that's very cool

gritty temple Mar 25, 2025, 8:01 PM

#

Yeah. Since the map levels are basically just scene files you could make a bundle of a new object and spawn it with my mod if all things go well. Then the database will load what things are changed with the map on start and you will get your custom map with custom assets. Don't like that theres a gate blocking a path? Change it. Want woods to be bigger? Add to it

#

There are a lot of unknowns with some of that though. I will have to figure out how adding in lootable spots can be sent to the loot pool for the game so other mods like Lots of Loot would still function correctly

chilly tinsel Mar 25, 2025, 8:02 PM

#

Very cool, I'm looking forward to seeing it release, I'm assuming it's going to be on 3.11? I doubt you've got a 3.10 version in the works lol

gritty temple Mar 25, 2025, 8:03 PM

#

yeah I'm just doing 3.11. Since this is now LTS until SPT 4 comes out I'm going ham on this version

chilly tinsel Mar 25, 2025, 8:03 PM

#

fair enough

gritty temple Mar 25, 2025, 8:03 PM

#

my hd mod works on both but I'm taking a small break on that to do this

chilly tinsel Mar 25, 2025, 8:03 PM

#

well, hopefully by the time it's out, 3.11 will have enough mods updated for me to update to it

gritty temple Mar 25, 2025, 8:03 PM

#

Since this mod will allow me to make HD assets for anything within the map

#

Since it is a version change from 2019 to 2022 I think it would be a bad idea for me to backport it too. That would fragment too much of things and would be a bad experience I think. Hoping SSH gets the sdk updated sooner than later so peeps can update their mods that rely on it

chilly tinsel Mar 25, 2025, 8:06 PM

#

I'm curious how customizable this would be, would you be able to spawn in a map object that usually has no storage and give it storage? Or is that out of scope for this mod

#

I'm just wondering if you could turn a desk into a container for example

gritty temple Mar 25, 2025, 8:09 PM

#

That is the challenge that I will try and see about. But I can't garantee that atm. If you made a custom desk asset that had a drawer opening animation you could probably make it function like a duffle bag or something and then spawn that asset in. Since the animations for opening and closing also trigger the looting for those assets afaik that would be a way to make an immersive asset. Here's the thing though. The modding community has been wanting map modding for years. AFAIK I will be the first to release a mod that actually allows this. So I would expect people to start experimenting with those things before too long. I'm kinda bringing people to the water. But I'm hoping the community goes nuts for mods afterwards. All the source will be published too so if people make a better version I will be all over it

chilly tinsel Mar 25, 2025, 8:11 PM

#

Map editing for SPT will be quite interesting, especially seeing what mod authors can make with it

#

could bring whole new custom tasks for new areas, adding new boss areas possibly, using this map editor to create a stronghold for those boss areas

gritty temple Mar 25, 2025, 8:13 PM

#

Exactly. I want to see mods from moxo, ERT, etc where map objects are changed. New modders coming in with different experience from other games and making bigger levels. Exactly. But also... Properly mod levels like streets to be further optimized or maybe add even more buildings to enter

chilly tinsel Mar 25, 2025, 8:13 PM

#

I'm already kind of thinking in my head

#

like modders could use this to actually build locations for their traders for example

#

I'm also somewhat amazed that you've even managed to make something like this to be honest

#

but I suppose most things are possible with enough coding knowledge

gritty temple Mar 25, 2025, 8:19 PM

#

Honestly. I am a shitty c# coder. 90% of this has been Claude 3.7 helping me. I know programming logic because I do python and powershell. And I know how to research bugs. With those things and my AI bud here I got this mod going. Also losing a ton of hair trying to figure shit out lol

chilly tinsel Mar 25, 2025, 8:20 PM

#

trial and error is how most things get made after all

gritty temple Mar 25, 2025, 8:20 PM

#

I don't have the willpower to dig deep into c# but if I can get things working to the point where the community takes off with it that's what I want. I do IT for a living. Not devops lol

chilly tinsel Mar 25, 2025, 8:21 PM

#

#

definitely looking forward to eventually updating to 3.11 for this, I'm just waiting for most of my mods to update before I do

Got my first Item to spawn in from a prefab list. Decent way to go on getting that reliable. I also am working on reliably deleting prefabs. This has not been consistent in my code so far. I am also working on baking a unique ID to every existing object in each map to remove ambiguity on transforms when sharing the mod with other users.

Reformatted the databases for the 6th time. I think this time the database is really close. Have basic spawning in. Going to integrate ripping of the asset so I can work on making all the map items into .bundle files to be able to import them back in as stock or modded versions. Have deletion working between loads and transforms are too. albeit theres some kinks to work out still.

Pure unedited from loading the game. Hideout changes are also working. This is after essentially a massive rewrite from the last couple of days. This project ballooned in code and then I consolidated it back down to a working build. Work is continuing. Looking at avenues for exporting. Free cam. bundle loading work flows. Might also make one last slight change to how databases are being written to. And see if I can write to them off the main thread. It lags the game a bit if youre moving large groups of objects at once because youre saving all that transform data to disk at once. Maybe having it save deferred might be the solution too we'll see.

#

i do wonder if someone will take it upon themselves to optimize streets with this lol

gritty temple Mar 30, 2025, 4:08 PM

#

In theory. Once I have spawning in. You could technically make factory accessible from woods.

#

So I have decided to remove the option for exporting objects from the mod. It is taking so much time to get consistent and ultimately that feature would put this mod in hot water. Since sharing BSG assets is bannable from the hub and such. So I am pivoting towards making sure there's a robust spawning system in place. I am also looking into the ability to load and unload scenes. If you need to rip game assets for a potential follow-up mod for this. AssetRipper works quite well.

gritty temple Mar 31, 2025, 12:44 AM

#

The database is repeatable! The testing I just did showed that even if I delete the database and then move an object again. It gets the same ID again. This shows that I am actually hooking into the correct fields for generating these IDs and then "Hopefully" this mod will work in FIKA.

gritty temple Mar 31, 2025, 7:22 AM

WEEKEND FINALIZED UPDATE

DONE

Database Implemented and tested
Moving and deleting objects working
Spawning custom objects working

TO DO BEFORE RELEASE

Fix why some maps are not applying the changes on load
Fix database pathing logic for custom assets
Fix built-in static objects not showing up in the spawn menu
Fix the menu selecting the right popup menu when I click the button
More testing
Add asynchronous functionality to the database transformations

POST LAUNCH UPDATE PLANS

Validate FIKA support including cooperative map editing.
Ability to load bundles from an online archive for mod teams to host assets in one location.
Stripped down player version that is just for playing modded maps not for editing them as well
Merge the dependencies from UnityExplorer so it is no longer required to be separately installed for the dev tool.
Allow scene loading and unloading (might work already but outside the scope of testing before release)
Free cam.
Click and drag assets.
Dev indicators for waypoints, paths, empties, colliders, etc..
Performance optimizations around moving large numbers of assets and loading times
More

Most of the Fix things can be done in patches. The most important thing to get right is the database. The last thing I want to do is change that post launch and have people's modded maps break.

If you are a C# developer/modder and would like to contribute I could sure use the help. DM me and we'll figure out something. I can offer your name in the credits and a cheese sandwich. Maybe a gold star and pat on the back. Otherwise this is a me project. I am actively working on convincing my company to create a new subsection of SecOps and hire me for it so I am quite busy at work. So some of these things will take a while potentially.

Snippet of how my database is saving and handling custom bundles.

#

I'm still going to change the Unique ID to be more than just the path ID+Item ID. Not quite sure how I want to go about this. Whether using mongoDB hashes or what. Ultimately I want it so that the items are primarily only edited in game and not through the database directly. But where you can find and tweak the database manually if needed.

gritty temple Apr 10, 2025, 3:10 AM

So status update. I'm working on my mod again! Had a motherboard die and took me offline for a bit. Refactoring some code around and well... Turns out there's some Ram optimizations that are in order. If I delete half of the items in customs then the ram of the game skyrockets to around 78GB. Now I'm no rocket surgeon. But that probably shouldn't be happening.

Just as an update:

I have gotten to this point of my map editor mod by exclusively using AI to help me code in C# since I didn't really understand the language. I have decided to pause further development for a little bit and actually learn how to code in C# before continuing. I have experience in python and powershell so I should be able to pick it up without too much issue. But relying on LLMs has made it where I haven't really learned much on what my code is actually doing when things break. With a project this involved I can't have that happening. So into the depths of despair I go... Peepo_Run

Thinking about having two releases of my HD rework mod. A lite one that targets less vram. And a heavy one that will have bigger textures and better detail. I'm thinking for the lite one it's target is 8gb vram and below. And the heavy for 8gb and up.

Thoughts?

gritty temple Thinking about having two releases of my HD rework mod. A lite one that targets ...

I like this idea tho I'd hope the gulf between versions wouldn't get too too wide. I have 12gb vram, would be a little dissapointing to get stuck using the sub 8gb version if the higher vram version gets to a point of like 24gb or gtfo 🤣

I wonder if it'd be at all feasible to have a cohesive naming schema or format for the files between each? So peeps could download both, and copy some of the higher res options over to the lower res or vice versa without you having to maintain more than 2 versions? Would let peeps kinda balance the vram requirements themselves based on the amount they have available & pick which hi-res textures are more important to them

gritty temple Oct 3, 2025, 3:25 AM

#

flat pike I like this idea tho I'd hope the gulf between versions wouldn't get too too wid...

To your first point I plan to finalize that mod with the barter items and I I think trying to make it around the 12GB max would be feasible. Making higher res other things than barter items I will separate into different mods to allow more picking and choosing.

To your second, that is also how I plan to do it. They would have the same exact names in the files so you could just override whatever items you want with the higher or lower version. Want a crazy detailed defibrillator? Just drag it over from the other mod. Doing this would allow me to throw some ultra models out there too as options. Where people are given the choice instead of me choosing the best balance for everyone.

Sounds awesome! Thanks for all the work going into the textures, the ones already available look killer! Can't wait to see what else you cook up 🍻

Added into my HD mod the ability to redo locales. So I can have the descriptions and names match the items. This will give me a bit more freedom in terms of art style and direction

Tarkov HD Item Rework Project - Mod Details - The Forge

The details for Tarkov HD Item Rework Project on The Forge. A mod to replace items in the game with higher quality assets. Starting with the barter items

currently I have 40/203 barter folders done now (I'm just moving through the list)

First model being remade for the Ultra and Extreme versions of my Mod

#

Baked the details into a normal map and have taken the geometry down to 1488 tris total from the high poly of 155k

#

Removes the need for loading multiple LODs to this model and preserves all the data. Exported 16bit 8K textures so I can down scale from that point to whatever resolution is needed

gritty temple Oct 22, 2025, 9:56 PM

#

I'm splitting the mod into 3 downloads, regular, Ultra and Extreme and Mip map streaming will be a requirement most likely on the Extreme ones.

#

But the optimizations I'm making here will allow me to have the regular one have an even smaller footprint on vram. Not zero, but less bad

Ill be looking out for it then, no harm in trying it once it shows up

Goal is:

8GB cards → standard
12-16GB cards → Ultra
16+GB cards → Extreme

what if the jewels were inlaid into that

gritty temple Oct 31, 2025, 8:43 PM

Hmmm. I'd have to look more into how I could do that. I think it would be possible. The modelling is easy but I would want to make sure that the part could work on the real firearm if added. Keeping some semblance of accuracy

arctic niche Oct 31, 2025, 9:07 PM

that's entirely understandable

it would be funny if there were a 1 in 300 chance that the muzzle pressure sends a shard of obsidian through your left hand blacking it

My design philosophy is to start with how it would look as being perfect from manufacturing and then add wear. The wear and tear will come in closer to final revisions with the color and other materials set in place

arctic niche Nov 1, 2025, 6:37 PM

#

you have a good philosophy

it's always easy for another mod author or even just a rando to go "this bad, need work"

#

i have 0 skill in this 3d stuff

gritty temple Nov 1, 2025, 6:40 PM

#

I've found if I start worn out it makes adding original details harder for me to visualize and allows for changes in design. This is the 6th iteration on making the pattern and doing that first really makes it easier to be adaptable

arctic niche Nov 1, 2025, 6:40 PM

you're entirely correct - i'm viewing this as an end product and not as a WIP
