Mod Options

Works with game version: 1. 13. 387

MW5 modding doesn't like the same assets being overridden in different mods and there's no merging. For options/controls it becomes difficult to add those to the same menu area. This mod is my solution for that.

Installation:

Download and unzip the main file. Place the unzipped folder containing a mod.json, Paks folder, etc. into the Mods folder of your MW5 installation (discard

the Nexus created folder that has numbers at the end of the mod name). You can go in-game to Mods at the main menu and click the Manual-install folder if you're having trouble finding it. Final install path should look like Mechwarrior5\MW5Mercs\Mods\ModOptions

The only other mod that should conflict with this is YAML. Leave the default load order and it will work. Otherwise, make sure the defaultLoadOrder key in the Mod Options mod.json is a higher number like 42 and YAML is lower like 5. A higher number means the conflicted file is loaded last and is the one actually used in game.

Allows user to change settings via the in-game Options menu.

Should automatically expose keybinds for all mods, not just mine, in the existing Controls section at the bottom unless the mod author is doing something different.

Modifier keys won't work properly if the mod author doesn't consume the input event. The event will propagate to the unmodified key press as well if it's not consumed. This is a mod specific issue, I have no control over this.

Sliders' number text can be edited/set directly if the slider is being finicky.

Options get stored in:

%LocalAppData%\MW5Mercs\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Game.ini

Keybinds are in:

%LocalAppData%\MW5Mercs\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\input.ini

To set keybinds manually the keybind name and keycode have to be exactly correct. Use existing keybinds as an example.

Works with my other mods:

Advanced Zoom

Restore Traits

Repair Bays

Heads-Up Display

Purchase Salvage

Mech Delivery

Leopard Colors

Check the Requirements tab for other mods that use Mod Options:

There's a "guide" for other mod authors that would want to use this to expose options.
