if I ever get to finish this mod, I have it where borders act like they do in Stellaris and change in real time, but a lot of the mesh needs cleaning up.

someone badly needs to make a coninuation of this that works well with yaml

I had this mod working just fine along side the YAML mods a while back. Not sure what changed. I'd love to have this work properly, if I could understand what's causing this conflict with YAML. Could be load priority, maybe?

@ZackTactical Read previous posts you should see that this conflicts with YAML and should not be used. Cheers!

using this with YAML, and without, none of the clans or additional factions post Raslhague show up and the system is just black. How to fix?

Is there a mod that adds news for this as well?

Is there a way to get the older version of this mod as shown in the screenshot?

@deadraiser Im not because it was conflicting, which i did not not that until I tried it :), Would be nice tho if it did work :)..nicer map is ALWAYS good!

@Psycho Dad, you should not use this with YAML

Getting a conflict with YAML

Never mind, they showed up after I got the second briefing regarding ambushes when I was taking a mission, so all is well.

So I am not seeing the other mercenary patrol zones no matter how close I am zoomed in or out of the map, is that normal or is my game bugged?

Works with new DLC

Does anyone know how to set the map so invisible systems are restored? Even if they're "dead" by lore, they should still be accessible...

been using my personal version of the mod and so haven't checked for myself, have you added the coloured borders yet?

The Lore Map actually works mostly good with the new DLC. Merc signs are smaller then system dots though, and their border rings don't show up until your really zoomed in. Other then those minor issues I haven't run into anything game-breaking.

Ah okay, thank you. take as long as you need.

I haven't checked yet, I've been struggling trying to get a test build out for MercTech and its taking up my time. I will probably have to update the UI to show the merc system.

Hows this with the new DLC ?

Is that YAML compatible?

Some systems become abandoned after they have been destroyed of their industry.

Playing my first campaign with this mod. I've recently got into Battletech lore and I've loved watching the map change and going "hey, I read/listened about this!" One question though: occasionally worlds just seem to vanish, they're not gone per say (you'll still jump though them, and conflict zone stuff occasionally still spawns on them) what i'm wondering: is this intentional to reflect worlds gaining/losing prominence or being razed or is this a bug? I've tried cross referencing a few of them but couldn't get a definite conclusion.

I have the same issue as below

I'm noting that Co-Op Unlocked and the colored cloud effect here are not meshing: I get no faction colors at all with them both going.

Altered load order (Lore Maps before/after Co-Op Unlocked) and that didn't seem to affect it in any way, and I can reliably make it pop back up by disabling Co-Op Unlocked.

Is that something to add to the pile to look at for Lore Maps, or should I poke Bobbert about it on Nexus?

yes, mod works stock.

does it work without merctech and yet another mods instaid

Please update

Can this be used with MercTech? Asking because it says it conflicts with it when I try to activate it.

This is a must have for MW5, especially with all the overhaul mods.

I'm getting "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000000" errors when flying between systems. I found my crash log, but I'm uncertain what I should be looking for.

Hello, wanted to ask you if the version here on Steam or on Nexus was more up to date, I noticed the community assets bundle is definitely essential to this

You can get the older version in the nexus page:
https://www.nexusmods.com/mechwarrior5mercenaries/mods/681?tab=files

Will this work with the "pre" DLC3 version 1.1.315? I'm waiting to upgrade until MT Version 3 is released. Thanks.

Big ask, but could you also separately color the periphery states as well? That would be awesome

this up to date yet?

Good luck.

Updated the FedCom to yellow. Will be working soon on all 3,000 FWL factions during their civil war.

Pink is fine. I only suggested yellow because that is what it is in the base game and existing lore maps. Honestly my only issue is that it is really hard for me to tell FedCom and FWL apart.

Yeah the cloud effect is much better than before.

Going to make the FedCom hot pink, that should make it stand out.

Some of the colors do need to be tweaked a little, will try some out. The overall cloud effect is working though, right?

So I have gotten to the part where the Federated Commonwealth unifies. Could FedCom have it's color changed to yellow? It would make it consistent with the maps that we already have in published works. Also,the blue color that is is now makes the map really hard to read, FedCom, FWL and Rasalhague all blend together.

Hmmm, I thought I had MercTechComp already on...

Republic of the Sphere portrait is showing up, but requires MercTechComp due to other modders not wanting to get on board with the community asset bundle.

It now looks really beautiful. Any updates on new portraits for things like the Marian Hegemony or the Republic of the Sphere?

Updated to have the clouds around systems more visible.

Worked on the visibility of the planets when zoomed out and it looks better. Will probably upload the new version in a few days

Too bad it's only changes by lore, but still increadible.

Darn, so in the 3090's the FWL collapses as it should, half the planets are Independent, half are those Neon-Pink ones that don't show symbols or anything and then there's the Anduriens, har!

PGI attempted to create the mesh dynamically to allow borders like that, but it kept screwing up due to proximity of some planets and planets that are deep behind lines (Wolcott). I have the old code still and I can attempt to recreate and fix the problems, but I have a lot on my plate with getting MercTech and getting the refit overhaul done.

For the meantime, it might be possible to have "clouds" material behind the planet extend out for 30 light years, that should give the illusion of a border.

while i'm not sure how system border generations works, if it's too tedious to render every border change would it be possible to instead have an image overlaying the inner sphere borders instead? Sarna.net has a huge collection of maps detailing the border progression of the inner sphere of notable points throughout its history

Have to look at what the owners are for Northwind. Others can be different issues that I have to check. There is a lot of data so sometimes the fields get flipped.
