Missions Gone FUBAR (inc. Multi-Faction Missions)

Description

Missions Gone FUBAR (F-ed Up Beyond All Repair)  Layers a rotating set of mission-scrambling complications on top of your ops — hostile factions crashing the mission, vehicles coming down damaged on landing, ammo capped due to supply issues, weapons jamming, gear glitching out, squads landing scattered across the AO, cover rigged to blow, no orbital support.

Installation instructions

• []Install MelonLoader v0. 7. 3+, latest nightly build recommended (https://github.com/lavagang/melonloader). We recommend using the official installer provided.[/]

  []Download the latest Jiangyu. Loader.dll (GitHub Release) and place it into "steamapps\common\Menace\Mods". MelonLoader will create the "Mods" folder on its first run.[/]

  []Download the mods you want from this suite with Launcher patch and unzip it into "steamapps\common\Menace\Mods" so that the named mod folder is a subfolder of "Mods" containing its contents.[/]

  []Optional: You can also use the latest version of MMK or MMM to install this mod using the instructions for Jiangyu mods. (My preferred method)[/]

  Main features

  This is a difficulty mod that was designed primarily as an enhancement to the mid-late game. Its now scope creeped into a very customisable challenge mod for early game too potentially (you'll need to add the early game config file or adjust to taste) and the element which judging from comments to date may be the more popular is; multi-faction battles.

  I find many mods, which are excellent, make the game much easier - powerful custom SLs, more OCI slots, more accessory slots etc. So I'm attempting to balance some of that out as I love the power creep too!  My design philosophy is to throw unexpected issues at the player that result in 'Missions Gone FUBAR' (F-ed Up Beyond All Repair).  At mission start the mod will generate 0-2 (or more if you want) of the FUBARs and a HUD icon (using existing vanilla assets) will show you what the FUBAR/s are alongside a text briefing from Hayflick, so you have no way to mitigate except to be prepared for any and all circumstances as best you can

  There's a summary attached of the scenarios which crop up after mission start that I've developed so far.  I was finding missions and ops starting to be a bit formulaic and testing this mod has thrown up some enjoyable curve balls and emergent gameplay, where instead of curb stomping the AI I'm fighting for my life! e.g. my solo SLs (no accompanying infantry) Tekk and Pike 'scattered to the wind' (randomly moves units to different starting positions on the map) at mission start to be deep behind enemy lines and surrounded, I had to hide them and break through the enemy lines ASAP to rescue them with my remaining units - which was not all of them as some had scattered out of the AO so weren't available for the mission!

  I also include annoted config file images if you want to tweak the mod settings and my own config file, I've tuned for how I want FUBAR to work. There is also a control-f6 dev tool which may be helpful (just close it before you leave the mission, spam the kill button to clear the map - works well with LetMeFinish mod). I'm keen to hear any feedback about how I might be able to improve the mod.

  Requirements

  As always. Requires Melonloader v0. 7. 3 or higher to use. Also Jiangyu. Loader.dll as the mod was created from there.
