Extra Utilities

Release Version 1.0.0

This mod is currently the first and only public script extender for Battlezone 98 Redux. It supports over 100 new lua functions and 3 new event handlers, and it's used in some of the biggest mods on the workshop such as ISDF Chronicles and BZP. The wiki[github.com] fully documents all of the features if you are interested in using it in your mod. If you have any questions feel free to ask me on discord @vtrider.

Some highlights include:

• Changing gravity
  
• Changing smart reticle range and detecting the object beneath it
  
• Enabling turbo speed and shot convergence on all units
  
• Access to almost all information about the camera and reticle
  
• Build ordnance at arbitrary positions and query their attributes at runtime

Currently BZR does not automatically download dependency mods, so I would not recommend relying on users having this workshop item installed if it is a dependency for your mod. Instead ship it with the mod and require() it locally. However if the mythic BZR patch ever becomes real we will have day 1 support for asset packs!

If you are a modder interested in contributing to this mod, or are curious about how it works, the GitHub repo can be found here[github.com].
