Is it possible to make base game and DLC campaigns work after their start date? I really wanted to play through campaigns with YAW arsenal, but i've not found any options that would allow to do so yet.
The only time restrictions are on four of the DLC campaigns. The Delayed Deadlines mod can postpone their start expiration date. The main campaign missions and the high reward quests don't expire.
This mod seems to actually patch the issue with "elite pilots" from The List mission - namely, it offers the missions rightaway, which bypasses the problem with said missions never spawning due to badly written conditions.
So far I was able to get Mist and Adder, whom I never got before, and some of usual culprits (Preacher, Chainsaw and Snowshoe)
Sounds like you are talking about Pilot Overhaul missions/pilots? If so I'm not exactly sure how that would be the case. This mod is pretty surgical in what gets modified. So, unless PO repurposes some of the vanilla missions there shouldn't be any interaction.
Would be curious if other experience the same thing.
These missions have badly defined conditions, for example if one of them has recommended reputation level of 5, it means that if player's company has rep level 6 or more, next mission from the set does not get triggered or becomes bugged and unfinishable. The main issue is, at rep level 5 its usually not possible to get to these missions due to financial restrictions, and also their rewards will advance player reputation, thus making other missions bugged. It was not possible for me to get Adder (suggested rep 5 IIRC) or Mist, and Bulwark's second mission never showed up. This happened in all my PO playthroughs until I DLed and installed Undated Quests.
Your mod has an interesting effect of listing basically all premade missions in transmission tab as soon as merc company reaches suggested rep level, thus eliminating the need to fly around and actually find said missions. So far consecutive PO missions showed up without issues, but I have not checked all of them.
If I manage to get all the PO missions I will be super happy.
Update: thanks to Undated Quests I think I got all the pilots from Pilot Overhaul mod, that is: Bulwark Mist Kelpie Adder 9(listed as Micael Williams-Kennedy) Hail Raider Snowshoe Preacher Chainsaw Sobek
Noopster, thank you for accidentally fixing another mod. Kudos given.
OP I think I saw your thread in Steam discussions and came here to look at this mod. I encountered tbe same problem went all the way from the top of Kurita down to where Adder was located deep deep in Marik and blew my merc companies fortune to get there for nothing! Googling I see this has been a bug in PO for more than a year with no fix by that author.
Cant wait to try this.... felt very cheated. I even renamed another Elite Pilot 'Adder' to feel better about it Ha....
I am curious where Undated Quests should go in the load order. After Pilot Overhaul?
LOL, it was certainly unintentional. There is nothing obvious my mod is doing that would affect quests outside of the ones I'm changing. Possibly something is happening within the game that causes a re-evaluation of triggers for all quests whenever one is modified.
Now if you had told me my Objective Jump mod was doing this, I could see a more likely causation. That's got some extra functionality to scan for quests and present them as transmissions.
As far as load order goes, it doesn't matter when this is loaded. It doesn't override any game assets.
Thanks Noopster for fixing a problem I didn't know I had :D
I got the pilot 'Adder' the other day at rep level 15 with no problem.
Came here today, see there was an issue obtaining said pilot in comments page, and that you had stealthily, unintentionally fixed it, so I'm gonna unintentionally thank you for fixing that and making and uploading this mod :)
I started a new career in 3015 and I don't have all the "high reward" missions unlocked (e.g. Dire Straits). I remember previously they wera appearing in View Transmission when you started a career.
Yes, you'll need to reach the requisite reputation level for the mission quest to become available. You can see them at the link below. The ones that have a 'Date Available' listed have been modified so the date requirement no longer applies.
Would it be possible to do this for the campaign missions (remove date)? Especially Call to Arms because if you do a campaign you are way too powerful by the time the Call to Arms mission chain becomes available. Thank you for this mod!

I run coyote and better mission choices as well.
