Coming back to post about this nice little mod after finally playing all of the Flashpoints. It worked flawlessly on my otherwise updated "vanilla" game. It really helps alleviate all the reputation grinding that would otherwise occur by needed to alliance multiple times in a single game. Great addition and thank you for the mod. Endorsed.
So rather than downloading this file, I could just make the changes to the file and info you displayed in the Description instead ? Also I suppose maybe adding an alternative file that enables flashpoints during the campaign could also be useful for some others.
Yes certainly - the file has the changes already included, so it saves you the trouble if you just need to update the vanilla file. However if you already have made changes to the vanilla flashpoint file, you'll indeed need to include the updates from the Description manually so as not to lose your existing changes.
Please be aware however that modifying DLC content is not as straightforward as modifying regular content - you don't have direct access to .json files to freely update. You need to unpack the assetsbundle file, extract the requisite .json files, amend them, and repack the bundle. I included a link to the guide I followed at the end of the Description.
Regarding flashpoints during the campaign - they actually become available (= start spawning) once the campaign concludes. This mod doesn't change that - meaning the alliance flashpoints are anyway available in Career mode and in Campaign mode after the last mission, as normal. Making Flashpoints available in Campaign mode before the last mission is not in scope of this mod.
