📋 About This Mod
REQUIRES GLOWING COCKPIT GLASS! YET ANOTHER MECHLAB REQUIRES THIS MOD FOR GLOWING COCKPIT GLASS TO WORK PROPERLY!
This a quick and simple mod that overrides the changes YAML made in its recent update to allow Lt-47's Glowing Cockpit Glass mod to work again. Simple brings back the original window materials for each mech so that they can all glow once again. Modded mechs I make that use their own cockpit glass material will be included in this mod as I get around to updating those. UPDATED 2/2/2026: This mod now overrides the DLC 7 mech cockpit glass materials so they can now be affected by the original mod.
IF YOU ARE NOT USING GLOWING COCKPIT GLASS THERE IS NO REASON TO USE THIS MOD! MUST LOAD AFTER YAML IF IT'S IN YOUR LOAD ORDER!
There is nothing else to say about this mod. Carry on.
Restores compatibility for the Glowing Cockpit Glass mod with YAML and extends the glass material to DLC 7 mechs, ensuring all mechs can benefit from the glowing effect. A niche fix for MechWarrior 5 modders using YAML.
