Hey everyone,

I've uploaded an alternate version of the mod that lists the constellation without the scrolling bar, available over on GitHub and Patreon (free).

Here's a preview of what that looks like:

Hi Highwayman, make sure you've purged and deployed the mods through Arsenal and that you have the latest version of the Loader (v12). You want to see a green border around the mod like this:

Undeployed mods will have a red border and not activate. If you've deployed your mods, can you send me in a DM the following log files from your %LOCALAPPDATA% folder?

EnemyIntelligence.log
BingusSharedLoader.log

As well as the versions for both of these that you have installed.

A constellation only guarantees the enemy composition, not whether they will be present. So you could have a Cyborg mission with no Vox engine. For example, D3 and D10 share the same constellation (Cyborg Forces) but a Vox can never spawn that low.

Heavy devastators are this unit:

I see
I thought warstriders had an own seed, so I assume it is not moddable to warn you before a mission if they can spawn or not?

Apologies for the long post. There's some memory addresses that I haven't mapped yet. But warstriders are flagged in these constellations. Here's the copy-pasted list from my testing for Automatons (apologies, some of these use internal names to the engine itself e.g. siege engine instead of Vox).

Constellation	Type	Potential composition and distinguishing rules
Assault Forces	Base	Melee and jump-melee infantry, Berserkers, assault lieutenants, standard/heavy/rocket soldiers and assault walkers. Covered tanks become assault walkers from difficulty 6.
Phalanx Forces	Base	Infantry, commanders, standard/heavy/rocket soldiers and suppressor lieutenants. No replacement rule.
Artillery Forces	Base	Rocket soldiers, other soldier variants, infantry, suppressor lieutenants and assault walkers. Covered tanks become assault walkers from difficulty 6.
Armored Column	Base	Scout walkers, heavy-cannon/autocannon/rocket tanks, spawner walkers and supporting infantry.
Mixed Automatons	Base	Eligible shared infantry, soldiers, lieutenants, walkers and tanks. No exclusive unit, group or replacement records.
Jump Assault	Modifier	Jump infantry, jump-melee infantry, jump commanders, jump-pack soldiers and modified lieutenant variants. Covered tanks become assault walkers from difficulty 6.
Cyborg Forces	Modifier	Cyborg elite and rusher variants, siege engines and supporting Automaton forces. Replaces scout-walker resources with Cyborgs and covered spawner walkers with siege engines from difficulty 7.
Ivory Legion	Modifier	Ivory infantry, flamers, standard/heavy/rocket/shotgun soldiers and lieutenant variants. Covered melee infantry become flamers, and Berserkers become shotgun soldiers.

Here's Terminids:

Constellation	Type	Potential composition and distinguishing rules
Bile Bugs	Base	Bile Spewers, Spitters, Bile/acid Warriors and supporting Warrior/Commander groups. Scavenger resources become Spitters.
Armored Bugs / Hive Guard Hell	Base	Hive Guards, Warriors, Scavengers and Charger groups, including tier-2 and Acid Charger entries.
Hunter Swarms / Jumping Bugs	Base	Hunters and Pouncers. Scavenger resources become Pouncers.
Light Bugs	Base	Scavengers, Warriors, Hive Guards and Commander-type units. No exclusive unit or replacement rule.
Bug Nursery	Base	Nursing Spewers, Scavengers, Warriors, Hive Guards and Commander-type units. Nursing Spewers also have a shared definition.
Mixed Terminids	Base	Hunters, Warriors, Hive Guards and Commander-type units alongside eligible shared forces.
Super Predators	Modifier	Tier-3 Hunters replace ordinary Hunter resources from difficulty 2. Also references Scavenger groups and an unresolved special unit.
Gloom Variants	Modifier	Gloom Scavengers, Warriors, Hunters and Bile Titans replace their corresponding ordinary resources.
Burrowers	Modifier	Burrowing Warrior, Spewer and Charger variants. Covered replacements begin at difficulty 6.
Dragonroach Activity	Modifier	Enables Dragonroaches and their groups. Separately replaces the ordinary Bile Titan resource with a Charger in the decoded selection path.

And Illuminate:

Constellation	Type	Potential composition and distinguishing rules
Illuminate Invasion	Default composition	Corrupted variants, staff units, jet champions, beam champions, observers, tripods, `meatglue` units and attack ships. Applied as the fallback when the other recognized Illuminate compositions are absent.
Illuminate Engineers	Modifier	Staff units, jet champions, observers, tripods, melee/ranged exomechs and two unnamed resources. Beam champions become jet champions.
Illuminate Harvest	Modifier	Corrupted variants, staff units, beam champions, observers, tripods and `meatglue` units. Competing jet-champion replacements have different priorities, so both should not be listed as guaranteed outcomes.
Body Horror	Modifier	Corrupted variants, `meatglue`, `bodyhorror_helmetguy` and `bodyhorror_bladed` units.

These aren't fully complete yet and there are some known unmapped units. But this should cover 90% of it. There's also some other composition tags that aren't incorporated as constellations in the actual tables:

Faction	Entry	What is established
Terminids	Flyer Composition	Exists as a tag, but is absent from the captured random base choices. Does not establish Dragonroach activity.
Terminids	Shrieker Modifier	Tag exists. Ordinary Shriekers have a separate resource, but this modifier's mapping remains unresolved.
Terminids	Hive Lord Modifier	Tag and a separate Hive Lord resource exist. Their activation relationship remains unresolved.
Automatons	Air Composition	Exists as a tag, but is absent from the captured random base choices.
Automatons	Gunship Modifier	Tag exists. Gunships have a separate shared definition, but this modifier's mapping remains unresolved.
Illuminate	Illuminate Stragglers	Tag exists without a direct association here. It is not the captured build's default composition.
Illuminate	War Machine Modifier	Tag and a separate war-machine definition exist. Their activation relationship remains unresolved.

Hey muffet, all of my mods come with built-in HD2MM compatibility. If you're not able to get it running, just let me know and I'll be happy to assist.

Hi Winternian,

Do you also have the Bingus Shared Loader mod downloaded and placed last in the load order? If so, have you purged and deployed the mods through Arsenal?

If you've done the above, can you send me the BingusSharedLoader.log and EnemyIntelligence.log files from your %LOCALAPPDATA% folder in a DM? That will help me narrow down what's happening.
