Better Stratagem Bounce - Updates

PC Better Stratagem Bounce v15

Updates for Helldivers 2
Changelog:
  • Offload the boot script to the new Bingus Shared Loader mod
  • Eliminates the false positive conflict detection between my own mods
This change was made to help with compatibility for third-party mods.

The following third-party mods are now supported:
  • HUD Plus
  • HUD Ballistic Trajectory Overlay
Please see the instructions in the Bingus Shared Loader mod for instructions on load order in Arsenal.
These warnings can be safely ignored. They are false positives due to Arsenal's compatibility check being too naive. My mods leverage the same entry loader (Wwise) and their script allows them to be loaded alongside each other using the same entry point. Arsenal only sees that the two mods use the same loader and immediately marks them as incompatible, which is incorrect.

I appreciate everyone bringing the issue to my attention. I hope this clears up some of the confusion.
Changelog:
  • By popular demand, adds support for HD2 HUD Plus. Shifts the boot entry script to Wwise to avoid conflicting with HD2 HUD Plus.
Note: If you are not using HD2 HUD Plus you do not need this version.
Changelog:
  • Add support for HD2MM's manifest system.

If you already have downloaded v12 (Arsenal support) and don't plan on using HD2MM, then you don't have to download this.
Changelog:
  • The previous version forced the game engine to accept any surface provided it passed a collision check, leading to stratagems skipping other restrictions related to bouncing (e.g. jammers). This new version should allow those checks to run while still bypassing the invisible navmesh.
  • Previously, the stratagem ball would stick to any surface up to 89 degrees (i.e., nearly vertical walls). This lead to situations where the ball appeared to stick to actual walls. This new version now retains the game's roughly 45 degree slope limit.
  • Added HD2 Arsenal support and removed the need for an additional .dll to load the mod. The mod can now be managed directly through your mod manager.

How to upgrade:
  1. Close Helldivers 2 if opened
  2. Remove the old version's files:
    • bin/hd2_native_stick.dll
    • data/9ba626afa44a3aa3.patch_0
    • data/9ba626afa44a3aa3.patch_0.stream
    • data/9ba626afa44a3aa3.patch_0.gpu_resources
  3. Download the new version's .zip file from the Download section here.
  4. Import the .zip file into Arsenal.
If you don't want to use Arsenal, you can still manually (un)install it the old way.
