Stratagem Extra Pairs v1.1.1 — Up to 8 Stratagems!​

By Miker and ChatGPT/Codex

UPDATE 1.1.1 adds a status slider in the mod menu (Requires Bingus Vanilla Plus Megapack) and shows your stratagem pairs. See screenshot.

HOW DOES IT WORK?​

This mod lets you link an extra stratagem to each of your 4 equipped stratagems, giving you up to 8 usable stratagems instead of 4!

For example:

  • You equip Machine Gun Sentry.
  • You link Flame Sentry to it in the configuration file.
  • In-game, you can now call in BOTH sentries, even though you only equipped one!
You can customize all 4 pairs!

INSTALLATION​

  1. Close Helldivers 2.
  2. Import the ZIP into Arsenal or HD2 ModManager.
  3. Enable the mod using Bingus Shared Loader v15+ (API 1).
  4. Purge / Deploy your mods.
  5. Launch the game and WAIT 2 MINUTES ON YOUR SHIP, 3 MINUTES IF YOU HAVE LOTS OF MODS before selecting your stratagems.
That's it! The mod automatically activates with 4 preconfigured pairs. No hotkeys or additional menus required!

HOW TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR STRATAGEMS​

After launching the mod at least once:

  1. Close the game.
  2. Press Win + R and paste this path:

    %LOCALAPPDATA%\CowboyBingus\Helldivers2\StratagemExtraPairs
  3. Open settings.ini with Notepad.
  4. Find the [Links] section:
[Links]
Source1=OrbitalPrecisionStrike
Extra1=OrbitalGasStrike
Source2=OrbitalGatlingBarrage
Extra2=OrbitalEMSStrike
Source3=OrbitalAirburstStrike
Extra3=GatlingSentry
Source4=MachineGunSentry
Extra4=FlameSentry
  • Source = The stratagem you equip in your loadout.
  • Extra = The additional stratagem you receive automatically.
Change the names to whatever compatible stratagems you want! A list of 94 available configuration names is included in settings.ini, with descriptions to help you choose.

  1. Save the file and restart the game.
  2. WAIT 2 MINUTES ON YOUR SHIP, 3 MINUTES IF YOU HAVE LOTS OF MODS, then equip your 4 chosen Source stratagems.
IMPORTANT: You must restart the game after making changes. You cannot edit the configuration while playing.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS​

  • SOLO / PRIVATE TESTING ONLY! Do not use this in public lobbies. It's extremely visible and unbalanced.
  • DO NOT USE SEAF SQUAD STRATAGEMS. They may cause crashes.
  • Do not use the same stratagem more than once or link a stratagem that's already being used as a Source.
  • If you use an eagle or multiple, USE THEM AS EXTRAS, NOT SOURCES.
  • To disable a pair, set both its Source and Extra to None
  • I have tested multiple combinations of pairs with success.
  • If something doesn't work, check STATUS.txt and LOG.txt in the mod's configuration folder.

FOR OTHER MODDERS​

I discovered that the game's Additional_stratagem value, normally used for Eagle Rearm, can be linked to other stratagems!

This opens up some crazy possibilities: chained stratagems, custom selection menus, or potentially preparing every stratagem in a single mission! (It seems that the game does not like having more than 10 stratagems prepared and crashes, maybe you'll find a workaround)

I encourage other modders to experiment, improve this project, and build on it! Source code and tests are included.

I got this to work one time. It would be nice if it could somehow tell me when it is ready to start. Also, 5 minutes seems a bit too long to have to wait in the ship after every game boot up.

I reduced it further. Wait about 60 seconds. I don't really have a way to tell you when the scan finished unless you look at the log yourself and adjust with your computer's speed. Give version 0.5.4 a try!

For me it takes 1 minute and 14 seconds. Look at the log file and adjust with your computer. 3 minutes is on the safe side.

yea my pc always takes at least 5 minutes minimum. prob due to loading like 50 different bingus-based mods at once, but even after the fps recovers it still takes *a while* for it to scan (on my pc its more like 9000mb it needs to scan, if i had only 3k like you it would indeed be quick)

after testing this latest update tho, its indeed very quick. its done in less than 3 minutes which is basically how long the other mods take to load too. thats a big improvement

So the scan failed to read some of your memory (probably a mod) and then refused to apply the stratagem links even if the failed memory part was not necessary to the mod. I uploaded a fix in version 1.0.1 to apply the mod even if it fails to read all the memory as long as it can find all the required definitions.

Try it out!

To know if it's finished scanning, you'd need to check the file status.txt here :
%LOCALAPPDATA%\CowboyBingus\Helldivers2\StratagemExtraPairs
paste that in a folder or your windows search bar and it will open the folders, open the current date folder and check the file. Or just wait a couple of minutes in your ship before dropping in.
No there's or text or sound notification in game. Bingus's API doesn't support that. I could potentially send a windows sound when the scan is finished but that might be confusing. I'll do some testing.
