ModTek and StreamingAssets changes

[Pezmotion]

Hi All -

Per the title, I'm pretty sure this is a dumb problem. I want to mod the SimGameConstants.json to increase the number of missions per planet, and the ronin hire chance. I also threw in a tenfold increase to starting funds and a change to the starting non-random mechs as a simple way to verify my mod was getting loaded as expected. However, it does not seem to be getting loaded. The changes are not showing up in the

.modtek\ModTek_runtime_log.txt

when it outputs the SimGameConstants to JSON, and the starting C-Bills and Mechs are the default values.

1. I have attached my "Custom_Campaign" mod, which just has the below .json block in

Custom_Campaign\StreamingAssets\data\simGameConstants\SimGameConstants.json

. Can anyone spot a typo or a bug in my .json? Visual Studio Code says it looks fine.
2. If I make changes to the mod and make a minor version bump to my mod's version number, I would assume that ModTek would attempt to use the new mod configuration. Should I be making any other changes, like deleting the .modtek Cache and DB?

{
  "Story" : {
        "StartingCBills" : 10000000,
        "MaxContractsPerSystem" : 10,
        "ContractRenewalPerWeek" : 1.5,
        "ContractSuccessReduction" : 1.0,
        "MaxBreadcrumbsPerSystem" : 3,
        "MissionsForFirstBreadcrumb" : 1,
        "MissionsForAdditionalBreadcrumb" : 2,
        "DefaultRoninHiringChance" : 0.24
   },
   "CareerMode" : {
        "CampaignStartDate" : "3025-01-01T05:00:00Z",
        "StartingPlayerMech" : "mechdef_thunderbolt_TDR-5S",
        "StartingLance" : [
            "mechdef_jenner_JR7-D",
            "mechdef_commando_COM-1B",
            "mechdef_spider_SDR-5V",
            "mechdef_panther_PNT-9R"
        ]
   }
}

Thanks in Advance!

The latest ModTek release (0.7.7.2) doesn't allow for changes to SimGameConstants. This has already been fixed on GitHub but unless you compile it yourself, you'll have to wait until there's a new release.

Thanks for the quick reply Hobbes! I'll download the source code and retry. Do you know offhand which commit fixed the issue?

Last commit should have fixed it. I haven't tried it since I don't know how to compile and HBS's mod loader is sufficient for my needs.

Yeah, I've been using the built-in loader for the basic stuff I've tried out thus far. I only tried switching to ModTek when I had issues with DLC content.
