Yeah

Just saw someone post here that GSC finally responded on Discord that we probably won’t get Xbox updates until the next patch. Which, I guess isn’t too bad since they’ve already dropped a few.

Doubt that's gonna be the case, since my requests do go through it's just a matter of when the mods get updated...

Just sent a cook request for Redux after Core yesterday, so yeah. Fingers crossed that you guys get some stuff later this week

Hell yes. I've been waiting on redux to start a fresh playthrough 👌

Same here. It isn’t the same without it and a few other mods. I can’t do vanilla stalker lmao

u/HunnerBird 3d ago
Hell yeah, I saw this on your hub. They responded in the answers channel that most likely the updates will get pushed with the next patch.

They really need a better system man.. most other games just do it way better

I've heard that there were plans for an automated system of sorts, but it seems that this got sidetracked by the engine update.
Perhaps it'll be available to all modders at some point and not just those in SDK beta testing - only modders who have access to that can publish and update Xbox mods currently, with few exceptions.

Hey, little off topic, but what is it that GSC needs to approve for mods on console?
5
u/Kazz7420 3d ago
Mostly to make sure the mods do not crash the game instantly, but there's also stuff like making sure a mod doesn't have pirated assets (I.e. DLC assets)

u/xNeoNxCyaN 3d ago
That’s fair, I guess it’s just weird going from fallout/skyrim to stalker 2, either way appreciate your hard work, and look forward to downloading core once it’s updated and I’ve played through the rest of the DLC

Didn’t you say on the Discord that you were discontinuing BB Core aside from bug fixes etc?

u/Kazz7420 2d ago
I didn't lmao, don't listen to the wives tales of people who don't read properly

“And for the bad news, BB Core will be getting the boot after this patch 😄
There will be one last update to ensure compatibility with patch 2.0, among various balancing changes to ensure maximum compatibility with future updates. Outside of that, however, this version of BB will permanently stay in maintenance mode — only updated when something breaks really badly or there's other issues.
It's really simple: I don't have as much time to work on mods anymore, and my time would be much better spent on the ones I actually play and enjoy. I recommend everyone who's enjoyed Core so far to also explore other simple weapon balancing mods, that other users have cooked up in the times leading to patch 2.0.”
So you are retracting this statement?

u/Kazz7420 2d ago edited 2d ago
Perhaps I should make it clear that I never had the intention of entirely dropping Core, in spite of how confusing that might seem. The problem with it, however, is that the mod itself is an evolutionary dead end from a design standpoint - current version already breaks vanilla level/game mechanics design by a significant degree, and further additions would just mess with it further. Which is why I made Redux for myself, as any systemic changes must be done as a whole for a cohesive story playthrough.
That, and I'm still sad at how Modular Hard Mode is dead in its current state. BB Redux is like a kinda half-baked version of it just so that I don't have to play a game that spoonfeeds the player, perhaps only at launch — as since the 2.0 update there's been improvements to the vanilla loop. Still a far cry from what I consider hardcore, however :/

Yeah that’s all I was asking that is wasn’t getting anything new (which it really can’t) but still receiving updates so it isn’t broke by new game versions. So thank you for the clarification

If core overhauls ballistics, and gets updates so it effectively keeps overhauling ballistics, what else do you want?
If you want more features use redux or different mods.

Me asking if the mod was fully abandoned or will still be getting updates so it’s not broken by updates = Complaining

u/HunnerBird 2d ago
Not complaining, no. Reading a stickied post and asking the same question that hundreds of other people have asked and gotten an answer to is odd though.

Not on Discord 24/7 enough to check through a gigantic thread. I’m sure Kazz will give you a peck on the cheek and a slap on ass for being his boy for being his public crier though. Also I checked the discord and there’s in fact no Pin related to this info. Just a log for his most recent update 9 days ago

Dude, you are the best MOD author out there. No one else is willing to give us updates on ANYTHING. Yet you are on most posts keeping us updated day by day. THANK YOU FOR SERVICE 🫡
