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.

so this requires only bingus loader right, or is there another dependency, and how do you know when its done scanning, the first time i loaded in i didnt see a scanning text or a menu or anything

OK I successfully added a slider in the mod options that goes to "ready" when the scan finished and it also shows your pairs! Only visually, you can't configure them from there because there's only 32 possible rows I can configure while there is 94 stratagems.

Is there a way to notify the player like "hey, you just selected an 'Extra' stratagem that's already connected to another one. Pick that one instead so you have more stratagems"?

i was gonna suggest making the "status" file a single file that always show along the settings.ini file so we can just watch that one to know when its ready, but ig now that it shows ingame its not needed exactly

also wow not skipping the intro animation speeds up scanning A LOT. ig not having to render the game lets the mods load much quicker

Hover Pack does not come with the Anti-Materiel Rifle that I set it with, although this may be because either my Hover Pack or AMR are modded (they both are.)

I also tried it the other way around and it still doesn't work.

Orbital Precision Strike is also not granting me Orbital Laser.

Some of these combos work, but some do not.


Orbital EMS strike is modded to be Pelican Support, which should be granting me Eagle 500kg, but it is not.

My Hover Pack and AMR are modded, and I also have all of D-Glitch's Stratagem Overhauls if that helps.

Yeah I don't know if those mods modify the ID of those stratagems or the associated memory offsets, but I can't make my mod compatible with all mods that modify stratagems :/
I just tested the pair that gives orbital laser from orbital precision strike and it works well for me.

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!

Thank you, now it works perfectly
