If I fancied modding MW where would I start ? I've got MW4, the clan packs, BK and Merceneries. Went on planet MW but looks like not all the Gamespy servers are back on. I recall Mad Bomber (I think) posted some piccys of custom mechs but I can't find the thread.

Ta.

The guys they're dont share their knowledge of how things are done however so you're probably not going to be able to do anything more than change skins. They say its to prevent people from cheating online but they're really elitist pricks.

Btw mw4 sucks 3 is the best.

[ShadowWolf_IH]

Hell yeah Gank.  3 Rocked.  You play it online?  i used to drive a c1 Scat or  a c6 madcat.  if you played online you know what that means.

[Gank]

Nope, connections dodgy so I dont play anything online. Play the single player camp every now and again but due to the lack of mods it gets boring real quick. Still beats mw4 hands down though, cant understand how the made a sequel look that much worse than the precurser.

easy....it wasn't activision, nor was it microprose...it was M$.  you got Pirate's moon?  the whole reason it had the hurry up feeling was that half way through production M$ bought fasa interactive, and they wanted to get working on mech4, so they did a hurry up and finish job with PM, so that they could get 4 done and on the shelves in less than a year.  and we wonder why it sucks.  The mechs don't even look right anymore.  first time i saw a vulture i thought it was supposed to be a shadowcat.  and where is the mass on a daishi?  did they put it on a diet?  it doesn't look anything like a daishi, it looks like it's been slimmed by about 35 tons.  do i need to say more?

Well, ye could mention the awful repeating tiled textures on the landscape, in some parts it looks cat. Did like the way birds flew out of trees when you came near though, and monkeys ran away from ya. Shame they looked painfully obviously like the 2d bitmaps they were. And to add insult to injury they charge ya 30 quid for 4 new mechs. Mechassault looks like it might be worth a bash though, anyone played?

[ShadowWolf_IH]

sucks...lol...the mechs move absolutely wrong.  and by the way...those were deer....not monkeys. well wait, we talking vengeance or mercenary?  doesn't matter, they both sucked.
Mech 2 was good though, mech 2 mercs was a blast.

[Anaz]

mech 2 mercs was what introduced me to the battletech universe, utter awesomeness

Early stage of a Koshi i was building a while ago.

The solution is to use Bobb's new animation code to add Mechs to FS2.

Yes, Bobb's new animation code is the answer to everything.

[ShadowWolf_IH]

and then get time delayed in fred to be in ms for the get position/set position and poof...we have gravity.  although it doesn't allow jump jets...at least we could have mechs for ground targets

[WMCoolmon]

I was actually joking. Would that really work?

[Roanoke]

I always thought Vulture was a copy of MW2 Mad Dog ?

[Fineus]

Moved to the art forum.

[Roanoke]

Not sure if I'd call it Art but what the hell...

[Singh]

MW2 simply rocked. First Btech type game I played and I finished the campiagn 90% through using only the Nova and tons of lasers. The remaning 10% was when I took something larger due to being severely outnumbered, or during the clanner trials.

But hell yes, it WAS fun!!

Not in a player controllable way, I'd reckon, but maybe.

[Unknown Target]

I liked the designs of Mech 4 a lot, but I really missed the realism from Mech 3.

And anyway, you can't mod mech 4, only mech 4 mercs, I think.

It was.

here's the thread I was looking for, over at Sector Game
http://www.sectorgame.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1229&highlight=

Can someone remind me how to use the Mech packs ? Installed 'em, but they don't appear to have  done anything.
(I recall they added the box images to thew MW title screen, which also hasn't been done) Can't for the life of me remeber how to use 'em.

[ShadowWolf_IH]

the inner sphere call it a vulture, the clans call it a maddog.  like the madcat, the clans call it a timberwolf.  

I know how to make it work WMC.  But without torso twisting and arm movement...it's no good.
