Epoch Time Bomb Mod v0.4.1​

Design Objective​

v0.4.1 Rules and Mechanics​

1. Vanilla ammo values are preserved. The mod no longer alters the Epoch’s magazine capacity, reserve ammunition, or resupply values, and provides no infinite ammo.
2. Carrying the Epoch starts a 7-second fuse. The timer runs whenever the Epoch is in your support weapon slot; switching to your primary or secondary weapon will not pause it. When the countdown expires, the vanilla Epoch overcharge explosion triggers at your character's current location.
3. Firing the Epoch only refreshes the short 7-second fuse. Detecting an actual shot fired by the local player at any charge stage resets the 7-second countdown back to full; this does not alter the independently ticking 35-second hard limit. Swapping weapons, firing other weapons, or zero-projectile events will not refresh the short fuse.
4. 35 seconds is a hard limit for continuous carry. It starts the moment the Epoch is picked up and is unaffected by firing or weapon swapping. Even if the 7-second fuse was just refreshed, the explosion triggers as soon as 35 seconds are reached.
5. Dropping the Epoch cancels the current cycle and stops the beeping. Picking it back up starts both the 35-second hard limit and the 7-second short fuse from scratch; the weapon is safe and does not tick while on the ground. Swapping to your primary or secondary does not count as dropping it and will not reset the timer.
6. Audio cues only; no on-screen countdown. An audio cue plays every second with a pitch that rises each second—the closer to detonation, the higher the pitch. Cues begin when 7 seconds remain, with the final tone playing roughly 1 second before detonation.
7. Every pickup begins a new cycle. The continuous carry timer resets to zero upon drop; dying or ending the mission also cancels the active cycle.

Notes on Charge Stages and Multiplayer​

Installation​

1. Exit the game.
2. Disable or remove any older version of "Epoch Time Bomb" in your mod manager—do not run it alongside the new version.
3. Import 纪元定时炸弹-v0.4.1.zip from this folder and enable it.
4. Keep your existing installations of Bingus Shared Loader and HD2Runtime; this package does not bundle or replace them.
5. It is recommended to test first in a self-hosted private lobby or solo mission. This package does not install automatically and makes no modifications to base game files.

Quick Verification​

• Carry the Epoch without firing: You should hear ascending beeps every second; upon expiration, it should trigger the native Epoch overcharge explosion.
• Fire at ~5 seconds of carry: The 7-second fuse should reset, but the 35-second hard limit continues counting down from the initial pickup. Swapping weapons will not extend the hard limit.
• Fire at 34.9 seconds: The short fuse will refresh, but the explosion should still detonate immediately at the 35-second mark. Dropping and picking it back up before expiration should grant a full fresh 35-second cycle from the moment of pickup.
• Other actions: Firing a primary weapon, swapping weapons without firing, or zero-shot events should not refresh the fuse. Teammates firing their own Epochs will not affect your local timers.
• Audio routing: The Windows system beep routes through the system Volume Mixer and default audio output device; it does not follow in-game SFX sliders.

Test Scope and Known Limitations​

• Code modifications are regression-tested offline using a local Lua 5.1 environment alongside HD2Runtime 0.30.3's native explosion coordinate/request implementations; these tests do not launch or inject into the live game client.
• This build has not undergone live in-game testing. Passing offline regression does not guarantee proper visual effects, damage numbers, host synchronization, or compatibility across all mod combinations in the live game.
• Detonations follow vanilla damage rules; invulnerability, flat damage reduction, or other damage-altering mods may affect the outcome.
• If Windows system audio playback is unavailable, the mod attempts to fall back to an in-mission audio effect, which may not reproduce the rising pitch across each second.

So it provides no benefits at all? Just a silly little challenge? Fun!

Requires Bingus Shared Loader v16 or higher, and HD2Runtime v0.30.3 or higher. Both prerequisites must be installed separately; they are not included in this mod's archive.

Epoch Time Bomb Mod v0.4.1​

Design Objective​

Turn the PLAS-45 Epoch into a high-risk weapon that demands constant active management, rather than an overpowered piece of gear with infinite ammo that can be fired safely without consequence. Players can refresh the short 7-second fuse by actually firing the weapon; however, the continuous carry hard limit of 35 seconds cannot be reset by firing, swapping weapons, or any other action. At the 35-second mark, the vanilla overcharge self-destruct will trigger regardless. The only way to start a new 35-second cycle is to drop the Epoch and pick it back up before the timer expires.
This simulates a mod-level fuse mechanism; it does not trigger the game's native backpack charge animation.

Notes on Charge Stages and Multiplayer​

Internal game resources distinguish between normal charge and full charge attack branches, but HD2Runtime's current public fire events only expose local player shot counts aggregated by weapon, not per-projectile identifiers or charge stages. As a result, the mod does not guess mouse-hold duration or scan unassigned global projectiles. Any shot fired locally with the Epoch at any charge stage will refresh the 7-second fuse, but will never delay the 35-second hard limit.
Because this fire event is strictly local, shots fired by other players carrying an Epoch will not refresh your fuse. Timer handling and detonation execution run only on the host/solo mission; multiplayer synchronization and damage delivery have not been validated in-game.
