Biometal Mod Pack

A mod pack that adds multiple new vehicles, buildings, and weapons to BZCC! Plus all maps and content from the Biometal Map Pack!

UPDATED 041823:
Added a remastered Brawler (Scion Bomber), the Puma (ISDF Light Tank), and Nadir (ISDF Drone). Added the Crubex Gun and Saturn Battery, Sonic Rocket, and 20 variations of infantry weapons (ISDF Flares and Bays, Scion Beacons and Cells), allowing tanks to call in 5 different kinds of infantry to the Battlezone (careful, its not cheap!). Added a new map, Old Dream for IA, MPI, ST, and STCTF. Included the fine classic map reformulations by SirBrambley. Added remote satellite functionality for both factions. Added 2 fully-functioning AIPs at 3 difficulty levels each to allow the AI to use the new vehicles and buildings in the mod. Updated weapon graphics on many weapons and materials to create a more vanilla-friendly experience. See patch notes for more details!

Classic Hits from BZ2 Mods of Old:
These mod addition stand-outs are brought forward to match the BZCC vanilla look, and are (finally!) usable with the Biometal Recyler Variant.

To download the mod, hit the "Subscribe" button and launch BZCC. Navigate to the Mods menu and select "Biometal Recycler Variant and Mod Pack", and "Activate Mod".

This content can be played by selecting the "Biometal Variant" in the recycler variant menu for IA, ST, and MPI, tested on Scrappy's Playground (an instant action map which is included and used to develop this mod), or played in Dunegrass, a deathmatch map on which only weapons from the Biometal Mod Pack spawn. All new maps can be played with the Biometal Variant as well!

After the mod competition has completed, these assets will be split out into separate mods to allow use in other mods, and in combination with map packs.

All content in this mod pack was created by SrapPool. Jungle and Island are based on ZST Jungle and BattleIsle by the BZ2CP Team and {bac}MalevolencE respectively; both maps received large updating and substantial tweaks, but will be promptly removed upon request by the original author. If you would like to incorporate an aspect of this mod in your own mod, please feel free to reach out, and I can send over or publish self-contained packages of whatever you'd like.

Thanks to Rocket3497 and Aegeis for bug hunting/reports. Special thanks to Ded10c, GeneralBlackDragon, Nielk1, and the usual suspects for driving the BZ2 community through the years and being great resources for modding know-how.

Special thanks to SirBrambley (textures) and Cygnus (model) for bringing the Nadir to life in BZCC!
