Tetsuhara Heavy Industries - Weapons Division

Quick Update: This mod currently doesn't work for Flashpoint/ v1. 3; HBI changed the versionManifest format and as such broke stuff. Fix is relatively minor but I'm just working in spare time to fix. The actual def files work fine, so if you are more mod-inclined, it's a simple job to reset them if you want to.

One unpleasant game client behaviour is that in Skirmish and Mechlab, the game client will scan all saved mech builds for integrity. This is fine as long as all the files needed are present, including from mods.

It is not fine when the files have been deleted or otherwise not found. The system behaviour is to lock up.

Thus, if you want to remove this mod, you would need to first go into Mechlab (at least) and remove all builds involving the Mechs here or the weapons. ALL must be removed before you can deregister the items

from the VersionManifest.

The focus is on equipment not found in the client. Things like Ultra, LBX, Artemis, XL engine, etc. etc. With the PROD release, we now can have equipment like Guardian ECM, Beagle AP, Command Console, etc.

These are at best "imperfect solutions" and almost certainly will be obsoleted when eventually HBS gets around to it.

Weapons Division Release is NOT meant for the casual modders. It is assumed you know something about how to mod stuff and just want to save some time.

In this Release Version, the following items are included:

• []Gauss and Light Gauss Rifle

  []Ammo for Light Gauss Rifle

  []LB-10X in cluster and slug mode

  []Ammo for LB-10X cluster rounds

  []LMG and HMG

  []Ultra AC5

  []ER Laser family

  []Heavy and Light PPC

  []Pulse Laser family

  []LRMs and SRMs with Artemis IV

  []Ammo for MRMs

  []Rocket Launchers

  []Guardian ECM

  []3025-era EW Equipment

  []Beagle Active Probe

  []Command Console

  []Target Acquisition Gear

  []Technical Implemnetation for Internal Heat Sink Upgrade

  []Technical Implementation for XL Engine

• 1 Target Drone. Look, if you want to drive this deathtrap...

  Although HBS has some "lostech" in the game files, they are specifically locked out from the skirmish. In other to preserve the integrity of the files, THI WD has implemented our own versions of the equipment, and  made them available to Skirmish.
