    DEVELOPMENT NOTES:
    * 34 FPs completed, 8 to be finished, for a total of 42.
    * New deadline for story completion -  Winter 2023 (we'll see how that goes)

    * Hyades Rim requires ModTek 0.8.0 (or version 2.0.0.X). Get it here: https://github.com/BattletechModders/ModTek/releases/download/v0.8.0.0/ModTek.zip
    * Delete the old version too before installing the new one.
    * Delete the mod database and cache after installing (the .modtek  folder in the mods folder).
    * With the new version the original Hyades Rim flashpoints can only be played in Campaign mode since they're a part of the new story; all other Hyades Rim content (star systems, 'Mechs, contracts, etc.) is still available for Career.

    Known Issues:
    * When playing Flashpoints with the Leopard, there's a graphic glitch that is triggered by the conversations. It doesn't affect gameplay and it can be removed by saving and loading the game. (FIXED)
    * When cancel some story missions, contracts may appear repeated on the list afterwards. Issue currently under investigation (FIXED)

    Hello, I have a problem with contracts. After the first mission, when I intend to take a new contract, I only have an infinite download. How to fix it?

    This mod bundles a very old version of InnerSphereMap, but also recommends it as an optional mod. Does this mean I can just install the newest version of ISM, and Hyades Rim will work okay with it, or do I need to stick with the bundled version? What about the year-specific StarSystems downloads?

      I used the latest version available on the official repository.

      Any other versions other than the one I included will give you issues.

      It really does not look like the versions match to me:

      • The mod.json in the bundled version says 0.2.2, which is an alpha from 2018, but the latest release on GitHub is 2.1.
      • The InnerSphereMap.dll files have different checksums for the bundled version and the latest GitHub release.
      • The set of included files is drastically different.

      I edited the .dll to allow campaign as a start option and other changes. And this version of ISM uses the factions/starsystems/etc. from Hyades Rim, so the original ISM files were removed.

    I can't get the "You On The Run" flashpoint to start. I've done a ton of missions, including Periphery Tales flashpoints and it's not dropping. I looked at the .json file for it and noticed that the "flashpoint_youOnTheRun_complete" tag is both a requirement and exclusion tag. Even taking the tag out of the requirements, though, the flashpoint doesn't seem to start. Am I missing something?

      The file you've looked at is inactive. The contract is triggered by the campaign system.

    Hi is it possible to install this on my steam copy on the Mac? I have access to a windows machine too if that helps. 

    Thank you!

      After you do the initial 'You On The Run' flashpoint, you need to complete a couple missions before the story continues.

    Does this work with BEX campaign? I searched a few pages and couldn't find anything on it.

      No, it doesn't work with any of the modpacks.

    Hi. 

    Didn't played since March waiting for new missions. Restarted campaign now. Upon completion of Dance Macabre - selected "Continue story" - after that no missions appearing :( 

    Would much appreciate advice. 

    BTW: many thanks for all your efforts. Really enjoy the game - especially use of specific words in dialogs by Natasha\Laura :) This is total "pizdec" - ahahahahaha.

      You need to complete two regular contracts before the story flashpoints resume.

      Natasha Kerensky was known in canon to use Russian words while speaking :)

      Yes, she was. Given the recent novel of her clawing at a chance for revenge on the Clan that used her, then dropped the Wolfspiders like forgotten trash, I daresay she still does unless that finally killed her.

      (My headcanon is that the Black Widow based her persona on the namesake: A (frequently) redheaded Natasha, for the love of...)

    Hi, I have a problem. After the initial mission with Kamea, there are no contracts available on any of the four available planets. I tried letting time pass, but no contracts appeared in the following months before I went bankrupt.

    I have BT + all three DLCs.
    Before HR, I had installed BTA -> deleted Mods folder -> verified file integration via steam -> installed ModTek 4.1.1 -> unZiped all HyadesRim (9.5.0) folders to Mods + added CololurfulFlashpoint, NavigationComputer and PanicSystem -> downloaded and installed CAB2025 via installer - > in game Mod setting  activated all installed mods except InnerSphereMap

    Anyone have any idea where the problem might be? Thanks in advance!

      And I thank you for a great mod. I played the older version a while ago for a test run and really liked it, just waiting for the story to be finished. Now I'll get to it :)

      Oh, the alternate story about the Arano Restoration isn't finished yet... I still have the last six flashpoints to finish writing.

      This is an separate and optional campaign consisting of the new pirate and IE contracts... it's just a way for the player to easily farm 'Mechs as mission rewards.

      Oh, never mind, I'll play it anyway. But the fix doesn't seem to be working. Still no contracts, even after switching to another system...  I even tried deleting the .modtek directory to re-create it, but it didn't help.  Or do I have to start a new game?

      Yeah sorry, you'll need to start a new campaign or load a save during the combat mission if you have it.
