Helldivers 2: Hellpods and Stratagems [ V1.0 ]

Hellpods, and their Stratagems, ripped from Helldivers 2 and ported to an equally archaic game engine. Just as Super Earth intended.

These are both animated props, remade by hand ( and retextured as they wouldn't properly port over), and also now working entities. As such, this is half my work, half Arrowhead's.

As these are not a 1:1 rip from the games - textures and such had to be done manually - there are likely creative/artistic differences between what you see here and the actual game. Same goes for sound/audio

:: Working Hellpods
Complete with animations for deploying, and a bodygroup/shader effect for atmospheric entry)
:: Hellpod Lid
Sold separately
:: Supply Packs
Animated and rigged, with each drawer/door rigged as a pose parameter to allow fine-tuning of their state. The entities can give you ammo and health.
:: Support Weapon Pod (Prop Only For Now)
Also able to contain backpacks, and stratagem weapons. Weapons sold separately
:: Shield Generator (Non-Functional For Now)
No animations, or effects - just a shield generator prop at the moment.

Configuring settings for these pods can be done in the Spawn Menu, under "Helldivers Stratagem Settings" in the Options tab.

Before you ask, yes, I wanna make these actually work at some point. No, I don't know when that'll be.

These are now entities! They work. When you spawn in, you'll enter the map via Hellpod. They're a little finnicky right now, and you don't have any control over them, but they work.

There are also several SWEPs now, that act as simple Stratagem beacons - throw one, let it hit clear enough ground, and watch a new Hellpod drop in with the required loot.

There'll be further tweaks, changes, and improvements as we go.

If you're using these on a server, and want to have a bit more of a fine-tuned control over things, the console variables below can be set to do this.

Flags whether respawning/spawning in for players should use the hellpod intro. When set to 0, this behaviour is disabled - and players will simply spawn normally.

Flags whether empty Hellpods and their lids should remove themselves. When set to 0, this behaviour is disabled, and Hellpods will remain until deleted. When set to 1, Hellpod lids vanish after 10 seconds, and any Empty pod - including ones whose Stratagems are finished - will remove itself.

The amount of health that a Player should get when using a Supply Pack. This lets you set the exact amount - the default value is 50HP, and based on how Supply Packs give you two Stims, and each Health Pack in HL2 gives 25HP.

The number of magazines the player receives for each weapon, when using a Supply Pack. This is multiplied by Clip Size - but can be fine-tuned as required. I recommend sticking with whole numbers only, however.

I do not own Helldivers 2. I mean - I own a copy of the game. I don't own the company. Arrowhead Game Studios owns the rights to the Helldivers universe, as well as this content. Models, rigs, and topologies were all created by the talented team over at Arrowhead. All I've done is textured them, set their shaders up to work with the Source engine, and added extra details.
