This is the first release after my break. This fixes a few issues that have been hanging over me since I was away.

This release fixes some annoying broken functionality such as MC Flashpoint support, adds MC Story support, adds improvements and fixes various bugs.

#Minor Features

• Bigger Drops: Support extra player lances in Story & Restoration contracts
  • A new settings.json property called EnableAdditionalPlayerMechsForStory which controls this behaviour
• Story Support: Support the full set of MC features in Story & Restoration contracts
  • A new settings.json property called EnableStoryOverrides exists. When this is enabled MC will look into each settings.json feature section for the EnableForStory property to decide if a feature should be running in Story & Restoration contracts
  • Incorporated a fix by @mcb5637. Thanks.
  • Using these features will severly unbalance the Story and I will not provide support

#Improvements

• Blackout: Changed the 'Trap' event in Phase 1 to reduce evasion by 2 instead of 3
  • Players take less of an evasion hit from the trap
• Better Skirmish Control
  • You can now use MC with Skirmish without the debug / quick skirmish rules (this means no longer spawning right next to each other)
  • A new settings.json property called EnableSkirmishMode which controls if this MC Skirmish ruleset is running
  • DebugSkirmishMode still exists and will spawn you next to the enemy for tests. It will also show the 'Quick Skirmish' button if enabled, and takes precedent over EnableSkirmishMode
• Vanilla: Support Story Flashpoints to be failable
  • Previously when failing a Story Flashpoint you would see the 'Restart', 'Load Save' or 'Exit Game' menu
  • You now can safely fail the contract
  • If for whatever reason you don't want this behaviour then you can use the setting "NeverFailSimGameInFlashpoints": false in the settings.json

#Bug Fixes

• Flashpoints: Fixed Flashpoint support not working
  • Fixed EnableAdditionalPlayerMechsForFlashpoints not working at all
  • Fixed EnableFlashpointOverrides and the respective EnableForFlashpoints property not working at all
  • I'm aware of the workaround using contract-specific overrides and this is no longer needed to workaround this issue anymore
• Additional Lances: Fixed broken drop weight influence setting
  • The 'DropWeightInfluence` was broken and always thinking the player was dropping a lance heavier than the contract
  • This would effectively scale up the difficulty of the enemy Additional Lances dropping against you
  • Some modpacks were using a patched version of Mission Control I released to fix this issue since Sept 2020
• Vanilla: Fixed issue with certain contracts preventing the dropship UI appearing after failing them
  • This happened with a contract using Contract_IgnoreMissionResults in the OnContractFailureResults section
  • It would run vanilla code that was broken
• Infinite Loading: Fixed a rare issue where no suitable lance could be selected when loading a contract/combat
  • Thanks for the fix @Haree78

#Deprecations

• EncounterRules.GetPlayerLanceChunkName() will be removed in the future. Use EncounterRules.GetPlayerLanceChunkGameObject(GameObject encounterLayerGo) instead
• EncounterRules.GetPlayerLanceSpawnerName() will be removed in the future. Use EncounterRules.GetPlayerSpawnerGameObject(GameObject chunkPlayerLanceGo) instead

#Upgrade Instructions

• If you're using MC without a modpack and none of your own changes, just delete the MC folder and move the new one into your mods folder
• If you're using MC as part of a modpack, let the modpack authors update MC for you (using the below guide)
• If you're using MC without a modpack but you've made some of your own changes to the configs, or you're a modpack author:
  • Copy into your Mods/MissionControl folder
    • MissionControl.dll
    • mod.json
    • contractTypeBuilds/Blackout/common.jsonc
    • Edit settings.json (and/or your settings.user.json / settings.modpack.json overrides) with the following:

#Add EnableSkirmishMode property above DebugSkirmishMode and set to 'true'

Enables the new Skirmish encounter ruleset

"EnableSkirmishMode": true,
Copy

#Disable DebugSkirmishMode property

Disables the 'Quick Skirmish' button and disables the debug encounter ruleset that spawns you next to the enemy lance. Ideal use for this is for testing.

"DebugSkirmishMode": false,
Copy

#Add the following properties after EnableAdditionalPlayerMechsForFlashpoints

"NeverFailSimGameInFlashpoints": true,
"EnableStoryOverrides": false,
"EnableAdditionalPlayerMechsForStory": false,
Copy

#Add EnableForStory in every feature section under EnableForFlashpoints property and set to 'false'

Do this for:

• RandomSpawns
• HotDropProtection
• AdditionalLances
• ExtendedLances
• ExtendedBoundaries
• DynamicWithdraw

"EnableForStory": false,
Copy
