📋 About This Mod
This mod aims to bring a multitude of mech models into the game ranging from some of the earliest mechs ever made, to the some of the latest and anything in between. Starting with the mechs i want to use first of course. This mod probably wont be compatible with clan invasion, nor will it need to be as the mechs added by it will for the most part be replaced by mechs in this mod.
My goal is to introduce as many mechs as possible from the lore in a visual style similar to the kind in Mechwarrior 5. Ill be adding mechs from apocryphal sources like Mektek, Stardrive, Wunderwalten and other older once canon magazines as i make them.
For the list of mechs added by this mod see here: theres over 100 chassis and 1000+ variants added.
What is considered Lore: Any mech published by CGL or prior game studios - this includes april fools TROs.
Apocryphal: Prior official magazines or games
Custom: Made by me/the community
Frankenmech: Corsair styled mechs
Mod Options Support - the ability to disable the following categories has been added:
Apocryphal - Mechs from products like Mektek/Battletechnology/Stardrive will be disabled if toggled on
Custom - Mechs made by me or the community will be disabled if toggled on
Frankenmechs - Pirate mechs(similiar in idea to the Frankenmech mod but done in a
more lore accurate, visually appealing way) will be disabled if toggled on
Read the required mods closely - if you dont read those or the modpage i wont help you with troubleshooting.
TURN ON YAML RESCALE, TURN ON YAML RESCALE, TURN ON YAML RESCALE - SAY IT WITH ME, TURN ON YAML RESCALE. (Not currently an option but if it returns)
IF RUNNING YARQE or ZATARA DONT REPORT MECH SIZE BUGS TO ME, REPORT THEM TO THAT MOD.
Due to alterations made by the mod developer of YARW trying to bypass a base game system, it works but dont report loadout bugs or deployment bugs if you are running it.
