Universal Optimization (UO)

Universal Optimization (UO) V3.0 Major Update

One mod covering vehicles, infantry, logistics and construction, with four-line enhancement; V3.0 adds vehicle roof build platforms and a supply system.

V3.0 Major Update

New System: Vehicle Roof Build Platform

• Roadmap promise delivered: build real fortifications on top of vehicles and drive them into battle
• Supports transport vehicles and armored personnel carriers; the roof platform deploys automatically (mod support included)
• Walking, standing and jumping on the platform feel completely natural—no falling off, no clipping, no visual anomalies
• Stand on the platform and press ALT+/ to open the build menu

Supply System

• Each platform has a hidden supply source: 1000 construction + 600 ammo
• Construction uses an occupancy system: buildings occupy the corresponding quota while they exist, and the quota is released when removed with a shovel
• When a vehicle reloads at the platform, ammo is deducted from the platform's ammo supply
• Combat platform resupply: after the vehicle stays stationary for 40 seconds, it recovers 1 construction and 1 ammo per second

Dual Control System: Bug Fixes

• If the engine is destroyed, dual control cannot be enabled; crew members are immediately removed from the system and receive a proper in-game notification (safe in multiplayer environments)

Vehicle System

Picture-in-Picture Front Camera and Vehicle Dual Control

• ALT+P: The real-time front-view feed is overlaid on the HUD as picture-in-picture; the camera position is calculated in real time from the vehicle bounding box and automatically adapts to all ground vehicles and mod-added vehicles; capture and rendering are done entirely on the local client, with zero server load and no impact on other players
• O: Toggle vehicle dual control for cooperative crew control; synchronously displays the vehicle health HUD and integrates the engine start/shutdown flow; also automatically adapts to mod-added vehicles

Gameplay and Balance

• Squad leader can place functional buildings (FOB, etc.)
• Squad leader starts with a shovel
• FOB logistics rework: with two supply trucks parked within 25 m of a FOB, after 1 minute it automatically gains 10 construction and 5 ammo every 10 seconds
• Remove FOB placement restrictions
• Remove rally point placement restrictions
• Remove kit and seat restrictions
• Reduce infantry suppression accumulation rate
• Reduce normal aiming shake

Engineering Quality

• Zero hardcoding: no vehicle model whitelist is maintained; modded vehicles are automatically adapted via bounding box
• Server authoritative: gameplay logic is judged on the server; HUD and PIP are rendered locally; PIP generates no replication traffic
• Stability first: tested and verified in dedicated server environments

Usage

• O — Vehicle dual control toggle (vehicle health HUD displayed synchronously)
• ALT+P — Front camera picture-in-picture toggle
• ALT+/ — Open the build menu after standing on the vehicle roof platform

Possible Future Features

• Reverse camera mode
• Multi-camera cycling
• Nitro boost system
• Engine overheating simulation
• Reverse radar
• In-vehicle radio
• Fixed-wing aircraft
• Vehicle weapon system customization
• Config file support
