The vanilla game places escalations left, without the group. That's why I added them there. I also prefer escalations neatly grouped together, even if they are based on different base missions. I agree that it initially feels a bit weird for Paris with its many ETs, but after scrolling through the menu for testing I grew to like it.

I'm open to adding an option to sort them into the regular flow, if others will not grow to like it, though.

Haven't checked out live tiles, but the menu can access metadata and it would even be possible to automatically generate that for escalations. So probably possible, but I don't know if the live tiles you refer to are working nicely this context. Might look into it.

I'm not the mod author of the mods packed in the unofficial content packs. That said, I think what you're asking for has been added to the offline elusives mod. I hope to update the unofficial content packs soonish.

Did you read the readme of the framework? I included a short explanation on how to set up a content pack there. Feel free to ask for clarifications if something is unclear!

There were two issues: you did not name your folders correctly, and one of your files was not valid JSON, as you had an additional closing curly bracket in an objective definition. The next version of the framework will display the filename on syntax errors, which makes these errors easier to fix.

Download the updated content pack to see my changes. Other than that, I ran everything through a formatting tool to make the files more readable, but kept your file names. File names are used for sorting in the UI and the "campaign" created for escalations: it might look better if you use  the actual names instead of codenames there in the future.

Should be updated.

This is not a mod, but a framework to install other mods without issues. It is not limited to a single game version. In many cases, it permits you to use mods with any version of the game. There are some exceptions, most notably the offline scoring mod.

Either way: anything you unlocked online should remain accessible while you are offline, even when you use mods. Modded items added through the mod framework are automatically unlocked by the offline content mod included with the framework.

Update is out now. I added entitlements, but no real changes otherwise.

I'd appreciate if you could mirror future updates somewhere without login requirement though, so that people with login issues on Nexus can still get it. ;)

I don't understand French so it is possible that you already got an answer, but the issue is that you have an invalid or outdated rpkg file somewhere. Most likely a different mod.

Either remove/repack the mod that causes this, or add content-pack-offline-elusives-no-undelete as true in flags.json. The latter will disable the brothers elusive.

Please speak English here, I don't really understand French.

You seem to have updated the french translation for the tutorial with loadout content pack, I will include it in the next update. Thanks!

Thanks for reporting, I can reproduce that. This target has backslashes in its repo entry image path, while the framework always uses slashes. I have a fix ready and will publish that the next time I do an update.

If somebody want the fix this before I get around to uploading, just add a repo folder to a content pack, containing the target's repo entry as a json file and replace the backslashes within.

Please delete the mode files and install it again.

It works perfectly.

Nice ! Be ready for all escalations in Bangkok, Colorado and Hokkaido in a few hours ! ;p

It will be solved in my next update !

Should go into 2 Offline Content\translations\fr.json, but I forgot to add that to releases.

You can enable automatic translation file generation by adding

"translations": true,

to flags.json, then it should get generated. Or wait for the next version of the framework.

Prost !!!

Great work!

It seems that again there are missing entitlements. Also, why did you add cya and ruddy image files? Are they used somewhere?

Edit: updated the content pack above without cya/ruddy and with fixes for entitlements and the missing elusive target image. Feel free to copy.

Did you consider to create a separate itch.io page for Offline Escalations? I can mirror it as-is, but the mod definitively deserves its own page under your name.

I updated the mirror and added custom campaign tile sizes for version 1.4 of the framework. I hope you're fine with the design change? Live tiles might cause trouble in that menu, as it is designed to showcase the order of missions in a campaign.

Try these following steps :

1 - Delete packadefiintion.txt 

2 - Delete Framework folder,packagedefinition.txt ,packagedefinition.txt.framework-original file and all chunckXpatchX files that you'll find after all chunckXpatch2 files.

3 - check that u must have only chunckXpatch0, chunckXpatch1 & chunchXpatch2 files into your runtime folder.

4 - Download this package

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ni0UcAt19Un2hAFOsNRjX8zUEjyfi5n5?usp=sha...

5 - Unzip it then copy all in runtime folder into your runtime game folder. Run unstall.bat into framework folder ;)

Thanks, will include them in the next updates!

kercyx might know more as he is the author of that mod, but I believe the gameplay elements are not in the game files of the PC version.

If somebody has access to the actual gameplay elements it might be possible to also port those parts, but I expect that to be a lot of work.

This is likely not a simple matter of missing files.

I suspect a bug in the vanilla game, so this will likely require substantial modding experience to fix. If you want to work on that, I'd suggest to start by converting the bricks of the elusive targets to the entity.json format used by the framework. Then you have a chance to understand how the mission is supposed to work. Look at how the guards are spawning and check if that looks correct. In the best case, the guards spawn with the wrong outfits and you can just change the values. In the worst case, the guards are really incomplete and you need to re-implement the missing parts.

To pack the fix up, you can add the updated entity.json file into a raw folder for the correct chunk and pin its hash to the hash of the original resource with a framework.json file. That will cause the framework to overwrite everything as needed when the content pack is installed.

Brothers ET works well for me.

Have you deleted all mod before installing ET ? Have you replaced by error with another rpkg files ? All mods works well so,if you can't reach Brothers ET,try delete all replaced mod and if it still not working,re-install the whole game

Nexus is not letting me log in at the moment, so it might take a while until I can download the update to convert it. In the meantime you can remove the content pack and install the official rpkg file with a patch number below 100.

Speaking of awesomeness, I might need a small confidential circle of alpha testers for something. If you or anyone I talked to in the past are interested, PM me on hitmanforum.com with a list of what DLCs you own, if you bought or transferred them and mention your itch username.

It will still take a while until I have something to test, so no need to hurry.

Unless you have word from somebody at IOI that these bricks are officially supported, I would prefer if you just add these entries in your content pack. I don't want the responsibility of keeping specific bricks alive in the framework!

You can look at the offline elusives pack on how to add packagedefinition entries from a content pack, it is at the end of __init__.py. If you think the resources could ever be used by  other content packs, maybe also add a check if they are already registered to prevent double-registration.

I missed the custom entrance question: that is already possible, see Training and Untouchable missions in unrestricted loadouts. Both use the original entrances, but need to register them again as they use a different scene. Untouchable also changes the ids to remove the restrictions on the original entrance.

To add new entrances, you of course need to add new spawn locations in the scene as well.

Reading it again, I'm still not sure I understand.

I think what you want is to mark a place on the map, where the player needs to obtain an item. Not sure how that works, but look at the Sapienza mission for an example. You might need to add a modded brick to the level, then you can set your own id in the brick and use that in the contract.

I do not think there is a way to do that by only editing the contract json, as weapons are not unique.

Hi Kercyx

I'm about to translate all your additional missions into your megapack.I need your agree and if I also can translate the 'Traditions of the Trade' mission (even if you don't include it,you can keep it translated for later).

Waiting for your reply ;)

see ya !

Updated. Compared to your version I fixed missing entitlements and restored story tile sizes.

For me, the day/night changes duplicate all lights so everything is bright, please check if they still work for you. If so, it might be tied to specific quality settings or drivers.

Hi onionsquid, I have some errors too and and I don't know why as I've done everything as usual... Can you help ? many thanks

I don't think it is a good idea to make any changes to bricks in the normal game or change an escalation for a custom mission. We have the tools for custom bricks now, so you can either add the existing TEMP as new raw resource or maybe even create a new entity from scratch containing just the swap. Then add that to the content pack and register with a framework.json.

Unrelated suggestion: I'd like to see your Additional Missions content pack split up into more logical content packs with better names.  You did rename your mod after all!

No idea what happened to the Lee Hong mission, but that one is completely wrong in the version I last uploaded: as flashback it lacks a subtype, so it is displayed as seasonal. Also, it would need a translated title. If I changed that one on accident while mass-editing other things I'm sorry! I will upload a fix just for that soon.

Regarding making items available, I did think about it but don't have a clear opinion yet. It would be easy to add all non-unlockable items to loadout with a framework mod, but IOI would probably not like that and it would be a mess in the item menu. A more selective approach as a content pack could work, but the question is which items to include. Feel free to propose something in the private alpha forum.

Thanks! Will include them in the next updates.

The translations for the additional missions from kercyx cannot be used, as kercyx did not add translation support to his missions.

@kercyx if you want the missions translated, you must use a different type like flashback with subtype usercreated and switch to {#modloc} statements for each translateable string. Look at my content packs for examples. Then update the game with the translations flag set to true to generate translation templates. The templates will be used automatically.

Does not seem like you use the most recent version of the content pack uploaded by me.

See my earlier response https://itch.io/post/4243272

Maybe an encoding issue, make sure to use utf-8.

I m not sure what you re trying to do. You want to put all 3 Satu mare levels in one? If yes, I don't think it s possible since all exists and entrances are blocked, so you can't merge all 3 levels together. It just won't work. It s a brick/scene problem. 

Can you make a concrete example where tiles are not displayed? Did not have time to look at terminator mode yet, haven't even uploaded it here.

I agree that terminator should have its own campaign, would just be a matter of adding a campaign.json file. Not sure why kercyx did not do that?
