Sounds good! Me and my friends run many of the popular custom campaigns as well as many lesser known ones.
ͲҒ Jack Bauer ︻デ▬——  [author] Mar 30 @ 9:38am 
Yes, your help would be very much appreciated. I'm about to start working on the repo's rebase to polish and add historic attribution. After this hurdle, there will be a few more pushes of pending updates. A new version will, thus, come soon.
Jugger  [author] Mar 30 @ 9:08am 
@DARG we are still tweaking some stuff for the next update to the mod which will rework a bunch of stuff according to feedback we did get, feel free to send me a friend request if you're interested in helping

Was checking the GitHub repo and noticed some changes for multi stage finales. I use this addon for many custom campaigns but, many of their finales don't work correctly. Was wondering when those updates would come to the workshop so I don't need pack it up and send it to my friends to test as a beta branch kind of thing?

Wouldn't mind helping test and report for custom campaigns if needed.

@K you're welcome, Initiative is just on a little break for now but more tweaks will be made in future version of the mod
K Jan 4 @ 3:25pm 
Thank you for your help! :)
Jugger  [author] Jan 4 @ 2:43pm 
@K If you know how to decompile mods you can remove the c4m2_sugarmill_a_tankrun and c4m3_sugarmill_b_tankrun files from the vscripts, the changes to the elevator are definitely a controversial change, we will look into that.
K Jan 2 @ 2:26pm 
If it's possible, is there a mode to turn such a thing off? Like a cvar or something? There have been times people have pressed the button and left everyone, and I'm not sure how to bring the elevator back down lmao. That's honestly the main reason I've stopped using it, despite all the other changes being good.
Jugger  [author] Jan 2 @ 2:21am 
Any feedback about that and other changes is highly appreciated
Jugger  [author] Jan 2 @ 2:20am 
@K it's one of the experimental changes in Chapter 2 and 3 of Hard Rain, we're still experimenting some stuff with both of those chapters
