Armored Overhaul Addon for APC Restored
An add-on made specifically for gfsggq124's APC Restored. It gives the APC the handling, HUD and gunner options of Armored Overhaul, and lets APC Restored and Armored Overhaul run side by side. None of APC Restored's files are included: download and install APC Restored first.

Requirements
  • APC Restored, the Bastion-conversion version (v0.6.7; it replaces the TD-220 Bastion) (required). The no-replacement version for HD2 Runtime v30+ isn't supported yet.
  • Bingus Shared Loader v19 or newer (required)
  • Armored Overhaul (optional)

Install / update
Add AO-Addon-for-APC-Restored-1.0.4.zip in your mod manager (Arsenal / HD2 Mod Manager) and make sure it is below APC Restored in the load order (it must load after APC Restored). Pick your options, then Purge and Deploy (every install, update or option change).

Options
  • APC Compatibility (always on): APC Restored and Armored Overhaul side by side; brakes the APC to a stop when you get out of the driver seat while it is rolling; holds it to a top speed of 50 km/h (Off, 60 or 40 in the Mod Options Menu); keeps rolling through what it smashes (something solid still stops it); holds a low gear on steep climbs and shifts down properly after slowing; no easy tip-overs right after it is called in.
  • APC Engine Torque (x1.2 / x1.35 / x1.5): quicker off the line and up slopes, same top speed.
  • APC Weight (x1.5 / x2 / x2.5): more mass, so it hits harder and gets pushed around less. Engine and brakes are scaled with it.
  • APC Brakes (x2 / x3 / x4): stronger brakes; it holds still once stopped and slows like a heavy vehicle off the throttle.
  • APC Grip (x1.1 / x1.2 / x1.3): less sliding on slopes and in turns.
  • APC Steering (Responsive / Quick / Sharp) and APC Throttle Response (Quick / Quicker / Quickest).
  • APC Stability (Stable / Planted): downforce at speed, less roll, no rearing up when you floor it, and less spinning after jumps and hits.
  • APC Suspension (Balanced / Planted): firmer shocks, no more bouncing.
  • APC Vehicle Indicator: an outline of the APC colored by its health, with the direction its gun points.
  • APC Gunner Drive: drive from the gunner seat while the driver seat is empty (movement keys, Shift/Ctrl for gears, Space handbrake, F horn), with a driver panel for gear, rpm, speed and fuel. The turret still follows your aim.
  • APC Ammo Counter: a tank-style rounds bar and count in the gunner seat, plus the zoom level while aiming.
  • APC Gunner View (35° / 45° / 60°): aim the cannon higher; while aiming, the mouse wheel zooms up to 8x (resets when you let go); not aiming, the wheel moves the view back and up. The turret turns at 180° a second (the game's is 20°), so the barrel stays on the crosshair.
With the Mod Options Menu installed, every handling strength and the top speed limit can be changed in game (MODS → AO ADDON: APC RESTORED).

Notes
  • The first time you aim in the gunner seat, hold aim for a few seconds so the add-on can find the aiming camera. It remembers it after that.
  • After a game update the add-on finds what it needs in the game again by itself, and remembers it for that game version. If an update changes something a part relies on, that part switches itself off (changing nothing) and says so in its log until the add-on is updated.
  • Logs: %LOCALAPPDATA%\CowboyBingus\Helldivers2\Logs\APCRestored-*.log

Credits
  • APC Restored by gfsggq124: the APC itself. This add-on is an extension of that mod.
  • Armored Overhaul by Th3chef (chfb): the tuning, HUD and seat-reading code this add-on is made from.
  • Bingus Shared Loader by CowboyBingus.

FAQ - does this still work?

Does this mod work after the October 20 update?
Not in the live game. Since update 7.2.0 the game runs plain Lua 5.1, and Lua mods can't read or write game memory anymore. This mod was built on that.

Can I still play with it?
Yes, in HellForge! It runs the older game build offline and loads Lua mods just like before. You don't have to wait for a port:
1. Get HellForge (0.1.8 or newer).
2. On its Mods page, add Bingus Shared Loader and this mod's zip (plus Mod Options Menu if the mod uses it).
3. Tick the options you want, same as in your mod manager, and play.
Lua mods are client-side in HellForge, so only you need them.

Is there an update coming for the live game?
Not right now, because what the mod does isn't possible there at the moment. But I'm not giving up on it! If the game ever opens Lua back up, or a new way to do this shows up, I'll update this mod as soon as I can. Keep an eye on this page. Until then, HellForge is the way to play it.

Can Chef Shared Loader or Bingus Shared Loader fix it for the live game?
No. It's the game that changed, not the loader. No loader can bring memory access back.

What should I do with it in the live game?
Disable it in your mod manager, then Purge and Deploy. It won't do anything there anyway.

Do any of your mods still work in the live game?
Yes. My mods that don't use Lua (like Better Bubble Shields and Charge Warning) work as normal. Treasure Radar runs on my Chef Shared Loader.

Thanks for all the support on this one!

Loving it so far. Any chance to get an update so that it doesn't kill SEAF troops just by bumping into them as you start driving? The Gator doesn't kill the troops crowding around it so I thought it was the same...squished a whole squad and a half of blueberries :(

Eager to try this on the standalone APC once it gets an update for that, as the description implies you'll be making said version. I can hardly wait to lead a tanking squad with Armored Overhaul versions of Bastions, Melstroms, and APCs rolling with Stratagem Launcher EXOs and stable FRVs.

AfaIk, they still work on a proper standalone version of the APC. Will take a bit until they can make an APC addon for it.

After the recent update with EAC, I simply ask for some patience, as the Bingus Loader gets updated and/or other mediums, for the script to run, exist. Once an avenue is available, this mod will be updated (if any is really needed) and will function with additional features continuing to be added (including some I was already working on before this update)
