Super Cardio 1.5

A Mod for Helldivers 2
Super Cardio akl_mod_preview_image
SUPER CARDIO
"Liberty speed your step, Helldiver."​

What it does​

Picking up two-handed heavy objects normally locks you into a jog with no way to sprint. This mod lets you run with them.

Currently tested and working objects:
  • SEAF artillery shells
  • Explosive barrels + Illuminate variant
  • Platinum bars
  • Fusion ion batteries

Other details​

  • Vanilla stamina: Stamina drains at the base sprint rate. Without sprinting you move at the normal carry speed. Armor values and boosters still affect stamina recovery and run speed, but not the drain rate while running with a heavy object.
  • Uses your own controls: Your sprint key and Hold/Toggle setting are read from the game's control settings automatically, including changes you make in game.
  • Lightweight: This mod attempts to do as little as possible. It only makes checks and writes when needed.
  • Muscle Enhancement Toggle: If you only want this mod to work when the muscle enhancement booster is equipped, you can toggle it through Vanilla Mega Pack's Mod options or manually through the config file. This is disabled by default.

Requirements​


Installation​

  1. Install Bingus Shared Loader and HD2Runtime first. Give Bingus Shared Loader top priority in your load order.
  2. Import/download the zip file into Arsenal or HD2 Mod Manager and enable it.
  3. Deploy your mods and launch the game. Pick up an object, hit sprint, and go.

To check that it's running correctly, open SuperCardio_STATUS.txt (see below). The first line should start with OK once you're on your ship.

To uninstall: disable the mod and Purge in your mod manager. No game files are changed.

Settings (optional)​

Super Cardio works out of the box. If you want to tweak it, edit:
Code:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\CowboyBingus\Helldivers2\Logs\SuperCardio_config.txt
The file is created the first time the mod runs. You can edit and save it while the game is running and changes apply within a couple of seconds.

  • sprint_key=AUTO - AUTO uses your in-game sprint binding. You can also set a key yourself: SHIFT, LSHIFT, CTRL, ALT, CAPSLOCK, SPACE, MOUSE4, MOUSE5, a letter, a number or F1-F24. ALWAYS means you always run while carrying.
  • sprint_mode=AUTO - AUTO uses your in-game Hold/Toggle setting. HOLD = hold to run. TOGGLE = tap to start running, tap again or stop moving to stop.

Things to know​

  • Controllers: The mod can't see controller buttons, so on a controller you carry at normal speed by default. Set sprint_key=ALWAYS to always run while carrying. You can also toggle this option through the in-game Mod Options Menu. Stamina will still drain while you move.
  • Multiplayer: This mod was tested under multiplayer and solo conditions. You do not need to be the host. I do not condone using mods in public lobbies people might disagree with. All values in this mod are locked to vanilla stats.
  • How it works: The mod changes your character's movement and stamina values in memory while you carry something. It doesn't modify game files or game code. As with any mod that changes values in memory, use it at your own risk.
  • Performance: When you launch the game, it looks up the values it needs once, spread out so no single frame takes the hit, then goes idle. It re-checks a couple of things at the start of each mission. While you're carrying a heavy object it does a small amount of work every frame, and it goes back to idle as soon as you drop it. You shouldn't notice any performance impact.
  • Game updates: If a patch moves things around and the mod can't find what it needs, it will disable itself. The status file will alert you of this.
  • AI disclaimer: AI was used in the development of this mod.
  • Mod conflicts: Any other mods that touch the same stamina and sprint values will conflict with this one. You may need to isolate mods and test compatibility should this be the case. Mods that conflict with HD2runtime will also conflict with this mod. Currently HELLSLIDERS v2.1.2 and Run and Gun v2.6 are supported.

Troubleshooting & bug reports​

Two files in %LOCALAPPDATA%\CowboyBingus\Helldivers2\Logs\ show what the mod is doing:
  • SuperCardio_STATUS.txt - the current state; the first line is the verdict (OK / WAITING / FAILED).
  • SuperCardio.log - the details.
If something isn't working, please direct message me what it says in your bug report, along with your Bingus Shared Loader and HD2Runtime versions.

Common fixes:
  • "HD2Runtime not found" in the status file: Install HD2Runtime as its own mod and make sure it's enabled. Make sure Bingus Shared Loader is top priority in the load order as well.
  • Sprint does nothing while carrying: Check the sprint key line in the status file. If it doesn't match your key, set sprint_key yourself in the config.
  • Stamina doesn't drain: Send me a bug report with both files in direct messages.

Known issues​

  • With toggle sprint, you'll need to tap sprint again after dropping an object. It works fine for holding sprint though. This will likely not be fixed.
  • Crouching while carrying a heavy object can make the object float oddly in your hand. This is a vanilla bug, not caused by the mod. This will not be fixed.

i looked into the mod a bit and it seemingly works on my end with the latest patch, could you tell me what exactly happens when both mods are enabled for you? if you want to go even further, please follow the same steps above. you could try using my latest build and see if it helps.
When both mods are enabled, the Backpack does not spawn in Quad Drops. It could be that Super Cardio itself works fine — Quad Drops is the one that wasn't working in my testing. I was manually testing every mod in my list one-by-one and Super Cardio is one of the ones that broke Quad Drops.

I'll get the logs later, I'm kind of over it (I was troubleshooting for ~2 hours)

in my test both mods were working, i was getting the supply, 2 extra backpacks, etc and i was able to run with shells. i looked into the code and i only saw one potential issue. it calls a function (register_tick) that Bingus Shared Loader v19 doesn't have, so it only tries to set itself up once at load. if Mod Options Menu isn't ready at that moment, then Quad Drop quietly never starts. however, the logs you send will still help because i'll see what exactly super cardio sees.

you could also send the SupportWeaponBackpacks log as well just to confirm if you'd like.

Hey man, I was about to go ahead and start troubleshooting this again but teucer fixed this exact issue you're talking about so Quad-Drop should be more compatible with future mods (and he also made it so it's specifically compatible with all the ones I mentioned, including Super Cardio.)

Thanks for being so responsive.

抱歉,我用的是翻译软件。您描述的情况通常是由其他模组引起的。请确认您使用的是 1.5 版本,它应该能解决这个问题。如果还是不行,请通过私信把您的 SuperCardio_STATUS.txt 和 SuperCardio.log 发给我。这两个文件位于 %LOCALAPPDATA%\CowboyBingus\Helldivers2\Logs。
