HotD-PhoenixHawk_Expansion

HOTD-PhoenixHawk_Expansion (v)1. 3. 0, CAO 2018-12-16

Description:

This Mod simply uses all the hard work SolhamaJoe put into his Hangar of the Dispossessed mod containing the Phoenix Hawk model and, using MechResizer and some Json creativity, introduces the Stinger, Valkyrie, Wasp, and Crusader into the BattleTech game.

Disclaimers:

- Original Phoenix Hawk models & textures created by Pirana Games for MechWarrior Online

- All other models, textures, sounds, and assets created by Harebrained Schemes for BATTLETECH

- Assets merged and (slightly) modified by SolahmaJoe solely for use in HBS's BATTLETECH

- Crusader, Stinger, Valkyrie, and Wasp jsons created by DutchRits

Current Release (SolhamaJoe's Phoenix Hawk):

Phoenix Hawk Body model (including) rescaled & imported

Textures adjusted from PGI assets.

PH's Weapon hardpoints:

L/R Arm Side & gunpod PPC

L/R Arm Side & gunpod Lasers

L/R Arm Underside of Forearm Flamer, Laser, MG (AP Weapons)

Center Torso Flamer, Laser, MG (AP Weapons)

Right Torso PPC, Laser, Flamer (1 mount)

SolhamaJoe's Notes on his HotD models:

1) The 'Mechs work in Single Player Skirmishes and are playable in Campaign mode (and can show up as part of the enemy force).

2) The models & textures are imported into an existing AssetBundle for a 'Mech already in the game.  So there are some wackiness

with proportions and joints bending at awkward angles.

3) Note on arm mounts:

- The first/top most weapon arm laser or ppc will appear in the forearm side mount point.

- The second will appear in the handheld gunpod. (This is swapped from the original PGI models.)

- I decided to organize the arm mounts due to how HBS's code mounts weapon models.   There is no way to specify the mount point  via the json file, it's decided at mission load.   Because all the stock Phoenix Hawk models have a Medium Laser in each  arm and a Large Laser in just the right   I put the ML first so they both get _eh1 side mount, and the LL second to  get _eh2 gunpod.  This results in the Large Laser appearing in the RA gunpod and both Medium Lasers in the side mounts. Otherwise the LA Medium Laser would always get mounted to the gunpod, which just seems weird.

DutchRits' Notes on the Stinger/Wasp/Valkyrie/Crusader:

1) Leg Missile hardpoints for the Wasp & Crusader have been moved to the respective Left/Right torso.

2) Mech sizes aren't canon.  Feel free to play around with MechResizer.

3) Weapon effects will NOT show up correctly for the Stinger/Wasp/Valkyrie/Crusader, since their entries are based upon SolhamaJoe's hardpoint efforts.  This is especially true for any/all missile hardpoints.

Known Issues (SolhamaJoe):

- Jump Jet effects n
