New terror missions are not spawning?

[The Martian]

The "Maps From The Deep" map pack's first release is now available on the forum 'HERE'.

Unfortunately I seem to have made a mistake when setting up some of the new terror missions in alienMissions: and their mission sets do not appear to be being spawned.

What I tried to do was create several entries that each had executionOdds: of triggering and were prevented from activating more than one per month using the conditionals: and label: variables.

For whatever reason only the base game's original shipTerror and recurringTerror mission sets seem to be activating.


I'll post the code currently being used to this thread, the .rul files themselves can be downloaded here: Maps_From_The_Deep_V0-56.zip

Here is what is currently setup:

Should I have done it more like this instead:

I've changed the missionScripts: to use the second method from my previous post.

When testing this the STR_MFTD_ALIEN_TERROR_MISSION_WAREHOUSE mission was called once followed by three STR_ALIEN_SURFACE_ATTACK missions.


So I think it is working now.


If anyone could share some advice on configuring the settings so that the randomly selected mission in missionWeights: varies more often I would appreciate it.

At the moment I have them all set to 50 as I thought that would give them an equal chance of being selected but it seems to be favoring the STR_ALIEN_SURFACE_ATTACK mission when I'm testing it.
