Great vid showcasing all those new outstanding features! I will have a lot to discover when I get the time to geek again. Bravo to all these efforts to make BZ98 shine again 🤘😎

[@racer927]

Extremely fitting choice replacing the walker steps with 'Mech step sounds.

[@furykillerBZ]

Amazing work here! lots of QoL and modernization

[@G4JVideos]

Incredible work BL, you've done so much to improve the game it blows all other efforts out of the water. Thank you for all this hard work!

[@adrianstealth340]

A VR mod for this would be great , always thought this would be a top virtual reality game

[@Bitterman5868]

HO LEEE BEACH! BL DID IT! This is trully a remastered look

[@thebouze2633]

Great job! Is this a multiplayer only mod or are these changes also implemented in single player/IA?

[@BattleZoneCommunity]

There will be single player content later down the line, but it's multiplayer only at the moment. You can feel free to come join our Discord, as that's where most multiplayer games are organized!

[@thebouze2633]

That’s good to hear. Thanks for all the work you’ve put in.

love how a small group of modders did this while all rebellion did was remove chunks😭

[@G4JVideos]

Rebellion didn't remove them per se Big Boat just didn't prioritize making them a feature when making Redux :P

[@guidemissile1494]

@@G4JVideos ah- thank you for clearing that up but still it was a very strange thing to remove

[@racer927]

​@@guidemissile1494 That wasn't on purpose. .mesh models can't break up like .geo models of the original.

[@tndStudios]

@@racer927 Under the hood, the mesh is animated with bones using VDF data which references the .GEOs. so it *can* break apart. My assumption is that something different happens to the pieces/parts when a unit is destroyed in such a way where positional values can no longer be utilized. The explosion chunks still exist in the stock game... they're just completely invisible now.

[@racer927]

@@tndStudios Ah, interesting.

[@patrickvasconcelos3001]

that seens really good. ^^ How can I download these? and it is compatible with Gog Battlezone 98 Redux version? Nevertheless I am looking forward for it. ^^

[@BattleZoneCommunity]

Apologies for the late reply! Everything shown in this video can be found in the Strat Balance Patch [BL Exponential] mod on the steam workshop.

[@GonTar_X]

[@BattleZoneCommunity]

Hi, the mod can be downloaded straight from the Steam Workshop: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2926502531&searchtext=SBP

[@adrianstealth340]

Will it work in PCVR ??

[@BattleZoneCommunity]

Nope, unfortunately BattleZone 98 Redux has no VR support.
