📋 About This Mod
Inspired by the now defunct mod by poman7, this mod helps differentiate your mechs by displaying their nicknames in their icon instead of their variant in the hangar, availabe mechs, and Cold Storage.
Each mech's nickname will now be displayed on the deployment screen instead of their name and variant as well.
Two versions are on offer:
-
[]The standard version that does everything described above. (If you are using YAML, you will lose the ability to scrap mechs that are stored in Cold Storage.)
[
]A YAML-scrapping compliant version that removes nicknames from the Cold Storage area but keeps YAMLs scrapping functionality intact.To specify, the standard version will still work fine if you are using YAML. It's all about how much you like to scrap mechs stored in Cold Storage.
This is my first mod! I hope you enjoy it and please let me know what you think!
Show Nicknames REDUX is a UI mod for Battletech that replaces mech icons in the Hangar, Available Mech, and Cold Storage with the mech's nickname, and shows the nickname on the deployment screen. It's a small, focused quality-of-life improvement for players who use nicknames and want better visual identification.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Small but handy UI tweak for Battletech players who nickname their mechs (43 endorsements).
- Directly addresses a common annoyance—seeing the same default names everywhere.
- Lightweight and focused; does exactly what it says without bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 43 endorsements—might be overlooked or not widely tested.
- Last updated in May 2023—could be outdated if the game has had patches since then.
For Battletech players who love giving their mechs nicknames and want that personal touch to carry over to the UI. Skip if you're fine with default names or want more comprehensive UI overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to set nicknames for your mechs in the game first, otherwise the mod has nothing to display.
- If you're using other UI mods, test this one in a separate save to avoid conflicts.
- Check the mod's forum page for any user-reported compatibility issues with the latest game version.
