# Jump Pack Recharge v1.2

By Miker and ChatGPT/Codex.

Halves the regular Jump Pack's recharge to **7.5 seconds**, makes takeoff duration slightly longer for a stronger jump, also adjusted mid air control speed. Tested in-game by Miker on the October 22 game files.

## Install / update

1. Disable the old Jump Pack mod and replace its package with this ZIP in HD2 Mod Manager or Arsenal.
2. Keep **Jump Pack settings** and **Uninstall helper** enabled, then deploy.
3. Launch the game and **exit normally**, then launch again to play.

The installer applies the file change on exit; the next launch loads it. This extra launch is only needed after installation or a package change. No builder, Python, or Bingus Shared Loader required.

## Included settings

recharge_seconds=7.5
takeoff_duration=0.7
boosted_takeoff_duration=0.8
mid_air_adjustment_speed=20


Values are built into the mod. `settings-used.ini` is for reference; editing it does not change gameplay.

## Remove

Untick **Jump Pack settings**, keep **Uninstall helper** enabled, and deploy. Launch and exit normally to restore the original. Then remove the mod and redeploy.

If the game cannot exit normally, remove the mod and verify game files through Steam. Verification may reset other file-based mods.

## Compatibility

Replaces `data/game/generated_entities.dl_bin`; other mods replacing that file conflict. Other boot-script mods may also conflict. Game updates may require a new version.

Keep the backup `HD2FileMods.generated_entities.dl_bin.original` in the game root. For troubleshooting, send `HD2FileMods.log`.

Shared installer from Stratagem Balls Stay Put 1.0.3, included unchanged; that mod itself is not required.

#IMPORTANT#
This mod is not compatible with my warp pack mod since it modifies the same file. Unless you install Medic3038's merger : https://ayakamods.com/mods/medic-file-mod-merger-install-and-combine-file-mods.5575/
