MC v0.2.0 Alpha Pre-release for BT1.3 Flashpoint
This is a pre-release version of v0.2.0. It's not polished and it's not finished but it works. I'm releasing it because it supports BT v1.3 and the Flashpoint expansion.
Major Features
BT v1.3 / FP Support
Ally Lance Combat Dialogue - Unique dialogue per contract type and MC contract type variations if you have an ally lance dropping with you. This works but the dialogue is very limited in the alpha.

In this alpha it's supported but I haven't configured it yet so while it does take the skull rating into account - all the profiles are the same as v0.1.0
Additional Lances in Battle are Primar... -

It intelligently randomises spawns based on contract type, adds allies and more enemy lances to the fight, adds new objectives, adds new AI to the game whilst also enabling other mods to make use of these same systems in an easy to use way. This will open things right up! Expect the coming mod updates to bring lots and lots of fun things.
Over the past few months, with the encouragement and support of the modding community, I’ve managed to crack the encounter system in the game (thanks Eck!). So… what does this really mean? A lot of the contract type data was stored in the map data (called ‘encounters’). Now I’m able to manipulate this information we can finally add a lot of very ...
