Hellpod Steering Unlocked - v7.5.1

• The 100 ms check for a mission reset reads only the avoidance flag, with a full check every second, and the game's Lua compiler no longer keeps retrying to compile the mod's update. Measured in game: 0.005-0.006 ms per frame before and 0.003 now, on the ship and in missions.

Hellpod Steering Unlocked - v7.5

• An error from the game or another mod now pauses the mod with the game's own avoidance setting restored; it resumes after 60 clean frames.
• Eight errors in one burst stop the mod for the session, and stopping restores the game's own avoidance setting.
• When another mod has changed the avoidance setting, this mod leaves it alone and keeps checking instead of stopping.
• Checking the setting no longer creates garbage for the Lua collector.
• Requires Bingus Shared Loader v18 or newer.
• Measured in live play: 0.003 ms per frame in missions and on the ship.

Hellpod Steering Unlocked - v7.4

• Checks memory protection only when a write will follow; previously every 10 Hz poll repeated the query after the settings were already applied, and in game that query costs about 0.3 ms.
• Reuses one read buffer instead of allocating per read.
• Measured in real play: about 0.039 ms to 0.003 ms of main-thread time per frame in missions. Behavior is unchanged.

Hellpod Steering Unlocked - v7.3

• Refresh the game-build checks for Steam build 25480438.
• Preserve the high-ground steering adjustment.
• Offline builds and package checks pass; live gameplay validation remains pending.

Hellpod Steering Unlocked - v7.2

• Update compatibility for game build 25327279.
• Restore the hellpod steering settings for the updated game.

Hellpod Steering Unlocked - v7.1

• Moves logs to %LOCALAPPDATA%\CowboyBingus\Helldivers2\Logs.
• Requires Bingus Shared Loader v14 for the shared log folder.

Hellpod Steering Unlocked - v7

Removes hellpod steering restrictions near high ground.

Install Hellpod-Steering-Unlocked-v7.zip through Arsenal or HD2MM. Download Bingus Shared Loader separately from its own repository. With default Arsenal priority, place the loader last, then Purge / Deploy.

This package updates the visible version and ZIP name while preserving the existing gameplay payload.

Hellpod Steering Unlocked — data-v7

Hellpod Steering Unlocked — data-v7

Prepared for the Bingus Shared Loader release. The manager description, dependency metadata, installation instructions and compatibility notes now use the loader's new name. The gameplay Lua, manager GUID, resource identity and runtime revision are unchanged.

Install HellpodSteeringUnlocked.zip with BingusSharedLoader.zip (loader-v2 / API 1). With the game closed, replace old library entries, Purge, then Deploy. Remove older gameplay packages that bundled their own loader. Managers do not fetch dependencies automatically.

The existing banner and square Arsenal cover are retained. Source exports exclude private research, game resources, manager profiles, generated outputs and Git history.

Offline regression, callback interoperability, combined HUD/resource ownership and isolated Arsenal/HD2MM deployment checks validate this release preparation. Gameplay validation of the packaging transition remains pending; retain prerelease status until that is confirmed.

Reinforcement Beacons Fixed is an optional separate mod. Its installed multiplayer behavior remains unverified and a small solo landing offset is unresolved.

Install HellpodSteeringUnlocked.zip using Arsenal or HD2MM. The -source.zip contains the repository source. SHA256SUMS.txt covers both ZIPs.

Hellpod Steering Unlocked v5

Steer your hellpod toward rooftops, rocks and high ground without the game's base avoidance system pushing it away.

This update coordinates startup with Better Stratagem Bounce through an identical Wwise loader and separate mod modules. It allows the inspected HD2 HUD+ 0.1.3 boot script to coexist without merging its code. Each mod works independently; neither requires the other or HUD+. The original audio callbacks and one-byte avoidance change remain intact. The mod does not guarantee unrestricted steering or a usable landing spot everywhere.

Install or update: Close the game. Import HellpodSteeringUnlocked.zip into HDArsenal or HD2MM, then enable and deploy it. When updating, remove the older library entry and purge deployment before importing the new ZIP. If using both mods, also update Better Stratagem Bounce to v13, then redeploy your enabled mods. A resource-overlap warning between these matching versions is expected: their shared loader bytes are identical. Other mods replacing Wwise still need compatibility work.

Supports Steam build 24826606 / EXE 1.8.45317.0.

Validation: Both modules loaded in a native startup check; Hellpod reached its expected ship state. Offline checks cover the exact one-byte change, mission resets, the unmodified HUD+ boot and fragments, original audio callbacks, missing modules, failure isolation and both load orders. Arsenal 0.36.0 and HD2MM 1.3.0.1 backend tests pass import, deployment, independent disable, redeployment and removal. Gameplay validation of the new loading route is pending, so this is a prerelease.

AI disclosure: GPT-6 Astra was used for research, implementation, debugging, documentation and artwork.

Hellpod Steering Unlocked v4.1

HD2MM compatibility update: Fixes the "empty options" import warning and deployment index error. Remove any failed import from HD2MM's library, then import this ZIP again. Gameplay files are unchanged.

Verified with HD2MM 1.3.0.1 and HDArsenal 0.36.0 backends in isolated folders. Checks covered import, deployment, removal and redeployment; HD2MM also passed with both mods together in either load order. No game launch was performed for this packaging update.

Steer your hellpod toward rooftops, rocks and high ground without the game's base avoidance system pushing it away.

Download HellpodSteeringUnlocked.zip, import it into HDArsenal or HD2MM, then enable and deploy it with the game closed. Remove an older manual installation before switching to a manager.

• Supports Steam build 24826606 / EXE 1.8.45317.0.
• Works independently or alongside Better Stratagem Bounce.
• Does not guarantee unrestricted steering or a usable landing spot everywhere.
• Other mods replacing the Wwise Lua callback resource require a combined resource.

Validation includes reproducible builds, offline runtime checks, and Arsenal import, enable, disable, and removal checks for both mods together. Combined gameplay has been reported working.
