@Hobbes__ , I tried 5.1 and it still spins.

The output log is the same old one from way back.

No idea what to do about this. :mad:

I've downloaded latest ModTek (I've been using HBS loader for a while) and I just started a new career without issues.

There's something weird going on at your side with the output log.

Try these:
* Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\112039672\637090\remote\C0 and delete the settings_cloud file
* Make a file check to see if you haven't by accident deleted any of the vanilla files
 
I deleted the settings_cloud and the same old output log is still there after attempting to start a new career.

I'll run a file check tomorrow.

Hard to understand how anything could be missing, when it worked fine before, works fine without HyadesRim now, and all I did was replace the previous one with 5.0 and then 5.1, but you never know.

Very grateful for all the help. Really want to get back to HR and all the new goodness.
 
Just dropping this here. This upcoming FP will be the 2nd part of the Periphery Is A Harsh Mistress mini-campaign.

have you tried using windows search for output.log (everywhere you can) with a date modified option set to the day you ran the game?

Yes and I didn't find any others, but after deleting everything and starting from scratch I have it sorted, thanks.
 
Man, I can't believe it took me this long to find out this mod existed. Everybody else is just adding mechs and weapons, or changing up the gameplay, but so few are doing anything with the event or flashpoint creators, and that's the modding I was most looking forward to.

I'm absolutely looking forward to giving this a spin in my next playthrough.

You're going to love it.

All the new Pirate factions, planets, and especially all the FP he's created.

Now, the latest Galaxy at War is compatible too, so you can have a purpose after all the FP and things are done for as long as you want.

Wow. Jaw droppingly amazing amount of content so soon after 5.1. Too bad HBS couldn't produce at your scale.

Just to clarify, the only changes to mechdef/chassisdef are the removal of -F, -SL, and -U plus the -UNK myomer upgrade?
I make a ton of changes to mechs and I don't want to accidently overwrite anything in the other folders as I'm currently running it.

Yes, plus the removal of a few -A models. All of the 'Mechs were unused for a few months now, this is merely a cleanup.

Thank you!
 
Sorry to keep doing this, but did anything in chassis or mech change in 5.5B?

I'd really like not to have to overwrite those folders whenever there's an update.

I saw all of that under the 5.5 changelog, but now we have 5.5C for whatever else that changed. :)
 
Wow. Awesome work - thank you so much for providing such amazing content!

I startetd a carreer recently and finished the "It came from the rim" flashpoints. Didn't really expect such a dense atmosphere and professional implementation and am really looking forward for the other mini-campaigns. Battletech at an amazingly high level - Chapeau, Hobbes__!

However i just stumbled across a little technical problem regarding new hyades rim versions and the compatability of "old" savegames - which is probably just a lack of knowledge on my side i guess:
  • I downloaded the latest hyades version from nexusmods
  • I deleted the old hyades rim folder in my mod folder
  • I unzipped the latest version into my battletech mod-folder
  • After a game restart i was not able to load my hyades rim carrer anymore
  • When i switched back to the former hyades rim build i was able to load my career again
Is there any tweak how i can fix this and play the latest hyades rim version with my "old" carreer savegame? Do i just have to override my old hyades rim folder?

I am using the HBS mod loader btw - if that helps. Thanks to anyone who's willing to help

Edit: Problem solved - see page 14

If it ends on a letter, it means it was a hot fix. 5.5a, b and c fixes were all non-Mech related

You had a career using the standalone FPs that you want to continue using the Hyades Rim?
