Bellum Beta Build #755

Bellum Beta Build #755 is now live on main branch.

Everything since Build 752.

Changes

Spawn-camp protection: you take no damage within 100 m of your own team’s base, in staging and the live round. Medical treatment still works there, and dying inside that radius doesn’t cost a life.
Highlands (AO1-AO7) and Tsavo (AO2-AO7): every spawn now sits 700 m outside its objective’s zone. (decreased from 1km)
Exploitation: when a cache is destroyed, al-Zalaam loses 20% of the influence win line. (testing)
Patrol bases now have crossloading removed, but resupply is now once every 20 minutes.
Bandaging uses the patient’s bandages first, so a medic with none can still treat a patient who has some.
Seeding and dynamic AO matches keep the mortar roles closed.

With the bipod legs out but not planted, muzzle climb is 10% and sway 5% higher.
Reaching for the radio dips the weapon down-left, and regripping lifts it back, with 65% smaller rebounds. It settles in 0.7 s going in and 0.4 s on regrip.
Enfield: staged round-by-round reload. Cancelling keeps the rounds already loaded, up to 10 in the magazine and chamber.
RPK animations fixed, bipod would flicker out on firemode select.
Character and weapon models are darker in shade, since the new lighting made kit look too bright.

Each round’s muzzle speed now varies slightly (1%), so long-range rounds spread out instead of all landing within about 2 m. Range cards are unchanged.
Mortar rounds can be crossloaded from the J menu. After handing over any two-handed item, you go back to your primary.
Leaving a mortar emplacement puts your primary weapon back in your hands.
Mortar explosions have added debris, ricochets and punch.

Restyled to match the other radial wheels, with the patient’s name above it and blood level as a glow in from the rim.
Redrawn bleed, wound, tourniquet, blood bag and mouse icons.

While aiming down sights, the watch heading follows your weapon, so the bearing matches where rounds go (was up to 3° off). The heading digits read true (they showed one degree low).
Your squad’s markers on the B-TAK match the watch (rank chevrons and role icons), and hovering one shows the player’s name.
The Layers panel closes when a tasking question box opens, so the box’s squad buttons take clicks again.
New B-TAK handling sounds.
Deployment screen CROSSLOAD tiles keep their amber border.

Kambori: trees and shrubs draw further out, a new building in the large compound, prop fixes and a terrain seam fix.
Tsavo: grass is back along the dam and in other bare spots.

Fixed the B-TAK freezing a few seconds after deploying (stuck cursor, dead controls).
Fixed the medical wheel only selecting the head (seen on Build 753).
