📋 About This Mod
hello everyone, i made a mod for battletech, and i hope you enjoy it. it makes it so after character customization, you immediately start with the next tier ship, post mission where you get it. it is recommended to be used as a resource for making a better mod, as i have no clue how to fix a few quirks. it is open source, though crediting me for the template would be appreciated. it is also recommended that it is used after a play through of game up to that point, so you do not spoil anything. it is meant to be used to skip tutorial crap. please read the instructions on how to install. DO NOT OVERWRITE YOUR FILES!Please note: it skips two main story missions so you have argo unlocked, and do not have to proceed with them again. This mod basically makes it so you start at a point in campaign where you can effectively free roam, for lack of a better term. I suggest first playing main game at least up to that point, and use this mod if you want a new campaign without having to unlock it all again by going through many hours of campaign stuff
This uses modtek as of march 2019, and requires flashpoint dlc, and allows flashpoints in the campaign too.
It was updated march 2019, and should be considered a activly worked on beta.
argo starts fully upgraded in this variant.
this mod is open source and no permission or credit required when using this mod in your mod, though if you use it in a mod, you must make your mod open source if it uses my code. fair is fair ;)
this mod of course requires a new start.
