aowlspt — $19.99/month

A modding platform for post-1.0 Escape From Tarkov: a native client host injected into the game, a backend server, an in-game overlay, one C ABI, one build command — and a from-scratch Tarkov server emulator written as a mod on top of it. The documentation is public; the build is not.

Card payment through Stripe. Already bought it?

What the subscription buys

The release archive	aowlspt-<version>.zip — installer, payload, mods, MANIFEST.sha256. Reproducible: two builds of the same tree are byte-identical.
Every update, immediately	Tarkov updates, aowlspt updates. No version to buy again, no compatibility gap you have to pay to close.
Three machines	Activate up to three at a time; release one from your licence page to move it.
The mods	sway, SAIN, MoreBots, Black Division, Icebreaker, FOV, Classic Movement — ported, and building under one aowl build.
Support	Discord, from the person who wrote it.

It does not buy the source. savannt/aowlspt stays private.

Why a subscription and not a one-off

Because of what the work actually is. Tarkov updates and breaks things; each wipe changes the game; the emulator is chased against a moving target indefinitely. A one-time price would be a promise to keep doing that forever for one payment, and the honest ways to keep that promise are all worse — a version that quietly rots, or paid upgrades every few months.

So: cancel whenever. Come back for a wipe, subscribe for the month, cancel. Your key does not die when you cancel — it goes dormant, and restarting the subscription wakes the same key up. There is nothing to re-buy and no key to lose track of.

If you play continuously it costs $240 a year, which is a lot; if you play one wipe it costs $20. Decide which one you are.

What it is honestly not

• Not multiplayer, and not a cheat. It is a single-player modding platform for an offline server emulator. It does not touch BSG's live backend.
• Not finished. The client API reaches live objects, hooks read their arguments and can suppress the original, and the emulator boots a real client through a raid — but the surface is still growing, and some pre-1.0 mods are documented as not portable rather than faked. The gaps are written down.
• Not a mod manager for other people's mods. aowlspt mods are native DLLs built from nimony against its own ABI.

Requirements

• Windows, and an Escape From Tarkov install the official launcher maintains.
• The installer builds an aowlspt install beside your vanilla one and never writes into it.
• A network connection now and then. Activation is once; after that it runs offline, and it re-checks the subscription when it happens to be online. Go offline for longer than a billing period and it will want one connection — not your key again.

After subscribing

1. Your key appears on screen and arrives by email.
2. Open your licence page, paste the key, download the build.
3. Extract, and run install\aowlspt-install.exe activate <your-key> — see Installing for the full walk-through.

Cancelling is one button on that same licence page, and it takes effect at the end of the month you have already paid for.
