One more thing, MCO is at ver 215.
Working on damage icons for logistics, after that I will do weapon damage transfer and finally new mechlab.
New MCO will not be available online for now.
There were some drastic changes in terrain so all missions had to be transferred from old format to new format with EditorTransfer (editor version that reads old map format and save as new).
It is done for Exodus and MW2 mercs, working on Carver and other campaigns.
Missions from WolfmanX can be transferred to new MCO too.
