Hey,

I had a few dope ass mods when I played this a few years ago. I put like 500 hours into the game around 2021-2024ish. Took a big break. Cool. I still bought every dlc for when I got back into it (we always do) but so much is broken to me now.

anyways. I had ttrulez immersive hud that gave that retro ''we're reading this screen from a 1985 sports car crt screen'', which i figured is straight up broken now since it's from 2020. But I also had an immersive sounds mod that included the MW4 sounds AND did it correctly, it would say in the old girl's voice like '' Lance Mate 4's torso, breached!'' ..

what was that sound mod? I guess that's what I'm asking.

We need a mod where at the end of the mission the leopard lands and the mechs have to go inside probably needing someone to lay some fire while everyone gets onboard. Maybe make it so the mechs don’t have to actually walk inside but go to a small circle near the open doors or something (ai path finding may make the his whole mod impossible). Sure would make finishing missions harder but could be really cool. Thoughts?

Hey!

Just as the title states i once again get the problem where mechs don't spawn in the arena. Cant issue order66 because it hasn't spawned at all.

To my knowledge i use the load order and all the mods found on vonhq.

Help!

I Installed Vonhud+Voncommander and the lance ai just shits itself while i get blasted by an ac200. Any ideas on what I can fix?

Is this a thing? If it is, I'd be interested. A custom variant of a Marauder would be nice, and something I wouldn't mind seeing, unless someone can like... well, if I were to create a custom 'mech, I don't really see or can find resources for a start point on this. Like for example, a Marauder with a 4 energy, 3 ballistic, and 2 missile loadout.

I realize that this is something probably painstakingly easy, but I don't want to have to resort to trying to ask like ...a certain seven letter thing for help, I don't see it being the way to go.

So I'll ask about 'getting started', 'creating your own mod', 'creating your own custom 'mech', and such.

Are there recommendations and or resources?

I realize this is prolly like... an 8 year old idea, but still.

I know plenty of missions have allied mechs and support vehicles, but Id like to be able to spend points for an assortment of tanks and vtols.

Could even add pilot perks in relation to that ability.

an alternative Idea would have the ability to hire nearby mercenaries since they are all over the map...would make them more useful.

Hello all,

I'm looking for some help with my MW5 setup, as for some reason I keep getting the black screen and fatal error message when I complete a mission on one of my saves. Other save files seem to work just fine, no crashing at all.

The save that's crashing is right on the cusp of reaching Reputation 10 and the crash is agnostic to mission type, mech loss, loot, etc. My assumption is that reaching 10 is the culprit but I' not sure why.

Mod load order is attached for reference if anyone knows of issues with the setup.

Mechwarrior VR

Does anyone here run the game in VR? I downloaded the necessary files through vortex(nexus mods) and the UEVR injector from GitHub, followed the directions and I still get this error message. It will allow me to play the game and everything seems to function correctly, except I have this big error over my crosshairs.

Can anyone help? What did I do wrong? Do I need to move the plugin files someplace other than where vortex put them? Is the mod just broken right now? I’m out of ideas.

I am brand new to modding of any sort, I've started working on blender for the model, but long story short I'm trying to add a custom mech. I was hoping I could get some pointers in the right direction for learning how to mod MechWarrior 5 mercs. I've already got permission to use the model I intend to use for this mech from the original creator, granted adapting it to a videogame use seems a little trickier than I initially thought. I've also already put together this mech for tabletop use, just need to get to figuring out what I'm doing as far as actually putting all of that into a game. I have some computer science, and troubleshooting background (A college level coarse for a year in computer science, and I work a job that required a year of extensive training on how to troubleshoot, and how to work on some very specific limited systems). If you are at all interested, I would appreciate any help you can offer, I've barely done anything to start researching how to do this, I just figured starting here was better than burying myself in confusion off the rip.

Sidenote: If it helps, I've worked to a semi-professional degree on concept work (not art, more organization, like scope management, and projections). I know what I intend to do is more than doable, it's just a matter of doing it (minus the method of creating the model I'm currently using).

TLDR: New to modding (actually making a mod), and looking for pointers for MW5 specifically on where to get started, especially in the adding/creating a custom mech area.

I have no idea what any of this means, just want ideas to the fix the damn problems

I've been away for a few years and never modded MW5. I tried a search but 'realistic enemy waves' didn't seem to get what I was hoping for. I'm not trying to make the game easier but I do not want to have to beat an entire battalion or magically endless spawns for a mission. It just ruins the immersion for me (and gets tedious).

Does anyone know how to disable the Affinity system in Pilot Overhaul Eternal? I found in the posts on the Nexus mod that it should be possible, but it didn't say how.

Hello, so I just installed several mods to do with updating the HUD. Most of them work perfectly, but two of them are conflicting with each other. Those two are LL Torso Orientation Meter and Better Lance Status. I can get both of them to work independently, but not together. I also tried the mod Lance Status Revamped instead of Better Lance Status, but had the same problem. Does anyone know of a way to get the torso orientation meter mod and either lance status mod to work at the same time?

I've been doing a co-op campaign with a friend. We recently both installed the TTRulez AI mod off of Nexus. We both noticed as soon as we installed it that damage to enemy units has become WAY too high - we now do enough damage to destroy enemy assault mechs in ~15 seconds. We still take a normal amount of damage. The mod doesn't seem like it would or should change any damage values related to player damage against enemy units.

I'm the host of the game - I've tried disabling the TTrulez mod to no effect, both my friend and I have tried completely deleting the mod from our directory as well - no effect. It feels like the mod has somehow changed or modified a native value for damage multipliers or something, but I can't figure out where in the config files this change has been triggered (if this is indeed the root cause).

Not sure if it makes a difference but my friend and I are in the middle of the House Kurita DLC missions.

Has anyone else run into this? The game isn't very fun anymore, and we've been playing this save file for weeks now. Would hate to have to abandon it.

Hello everyone;

I prefer to play mech games in first person. In this MW5 Mercs, the reticle moves up and down for no reason that I can discern; even our current tech tanks stabilize their guns as they move.

Additionally, it's such a combination of wrong and motion-sickness inducing that I've given up on the game.

I couldn't find a fix anywhere, has anyone seen a mod or workaround?

Yup, they specifically mention the DLC:

We’ve got a mid-sized patch with nice improvements and content updates rolling out for MechWarrior 5: Clans. This patch contains a mix of bug fixes, balance tweaks, and quality-of-life improvements across the game, with a focus on Wolves of Tukayyid.

We’ve also made a few cockpit and Arrow IV updates based on testing and feedback.

Digital Extras owners will see a separate update to the Digital Extras DLC, adding new Wolves of Tukayyid art book content, including additional characters, missions, and tech.

(The Technical Readout Manual update will be coming in the future)

Thanks for playing MechWarrior 5: Clans and for all the feedback, bug reports, and suggestions.

And yes, while we have your attention, the team is already hard at work on the next MW5 Mercs and Clans DLCs. More details on the MW5 Mercs DLC 8 will be coming at the end of March.

The big thing that's getting changed is Arrow IV:

ARROW IV Designer Notes:
The Arrow IV artillery system is a weapon system vastly different from many of the weapons in the current roster, and unfortunately, it was released with several unresolved bugs that produced behavior that was never intended with the weapon.

While we wished to see a number of these unintended bugs addressed with the latest patch, given the reception of Arrow IV, we did not want these bug fixes to be seen as a net-negative to the weapon’s experience. So we have paired these bug fixes with a rebalance pass that leans heavily into Arrow IV’s “big boom” support weapon role. Providing a 25% boost to upfront damage, but refactors some of its other stats, such as cooldown, heat, and ammo count.

• Arrow IV balance pass and bug fixes
  • Fixed UI issues with the Arrow IV stats
  • Updated the Marketplace model of the Arrow IV
  • Arrow IV now properly applies Chassis Milestone kills
  • Removed a bug that saw Arrow IV's do increased damage against large bosses
  • Fixed a bug that reduced the default spread of Arrow IV down to 0
    • By default, ARROW IV strikes will not guarantee a direct hit against targets without further guidance from other pieces of equipment.
  • Fixed ARROW IV's intended interaction with NARC and TAG
    • NARC and TAG effects reduce ARROW IV's weapon spread down to 0
  • Removed a bug that gave the weapon LRM-based minimum ranges rather than its intended 240 meter minimum range
  • Fixed explosion area visual effect to match actual damage radius
  • Increased Base Damage: 20 → 25
  • Reduced Ammo: 14 → 12
  • Increased Heat 16 → 18
  • Minimum increased to 240 (from 180) (Error using LRM minimum range rather than Artillery min range.)

And the other stuff:

• Updated the cockpits of the Linebacker, Naga, and Incubus
• Adjusted cockpit view VFX for various weapons to improve visibility when firing
• Pilots now wear the correct fatigues in cockpit view depending on campaign
• Artillery Strikes via the Battlegrid now properly launch where the user selects
• Fixed an issue where the cursor would disappear if you open the Battlegrid while the Radial menu was open
• Technicians now return to the pool if a ’Mech with active techs is sold
• Fixed various UI issues for instances where users sell all their ’Mechs
• Added a Buy Back option to the Mech Market screen
• Spectators are no longer able to take control of a ’Mech that was destroyed in repair bays
• The game no longer runs in the background on the mission failed screen
• All ’Mechs will now become available in the Marketplace once the Wolves campaign is completed
• Kerenskies now replenish once they fall below 10k in the Post campaign for Wolves of Tukayyid

Patch drops tomorrow at 11 AM PDT/2 PM EDT/6 PM UTC.

I feel like this may have to do with the combination of Von Biomes, Ultra Visual and Weather, and Cockpit Glass.

1. Began a mission that had somewhat low light but was decently playable without night vision (headlights worked well). Bombed out and restarted the mission--now the entire mission was much darker, especially the ground. Anyone seen that?
2. A mission that was well lit and daytime, but like a partly cloudy clear day. Just the same there was rain effects on my cockpit glass even though nothing looked like rain clouds and there were no environmental rain effects.

These don't ruin anything, just curious if others have run into the same thing.

Is it a good time to mess with these two? They seem related as I understand YASV allows you to encounter mechs that have the new equipment in YAEC.

However, it appears in comments that YASV seems to have problems with the latest state of MW5. What are people's experiences with the current patch and latest DLC?

I don't know what caused this, it was fine before the last mission, but this happened after. I made no changes to mod options or yaml. These are mods I'm currently running except for YAW097HWA, Pilot Overhaul, Full Armor, and RunningJumpShipAnimation.

Can anyone help?

I'd been playing for a long time and Uninstalled some mods and now no matter what I do Mech Warrior won't work, are there files I'm missing or something?

This is half rant and half questions, about mod functionality and troubleshooting. 1. Why isn't yet another equipment and questionable weaponry multiplayer friendly? In my experience it doesn't load anyone in but the host, just eternal back screen with no loading symbol. Is it a problem with the mods or is it really the game not able to load so many things as ive heard. 2. In yet another equipment, does the harjel armour only repair fors few seconds after you take damage? 3. Manually downloading nexus mods into the download folder. I've tried and followed two guides, but the don't work. Do zatara super heavy mechd and zatara clan super heavy mechs not work or have I just done something wrong. Also please tell me how so I don't have to go back to unclear guides that are 18 minutes long. Desperate, even if theyre not the yeoman, they're still super heavy fun.

Little update on the YAML WIKI from the curator/WikiSavant

``Hey all, Ciara Here, the YAML Wiki Lady with a YAML Wiki Update for you. First of all, sorry about the delay in getting it updated, life has been a thing.

Secondly, the main page located here: http://yetanotherwiki.wikidot.com/ has been updated and annotated with what mods are actively updated, what aren't, and what mods have test builds or are at least functional without being updated.

Lastly, I'd like to say this will be the last update to the wiki on this specific platform (that being wikidot) for a number of reasons. Mostly, due to the fact that wikidot is drastically outmoded and outdated.

So what does that mean? No more wiki? Nope. What it means is that I'll be working on a brand new YAML wiki somewhere else. As to the details? Stay tuned and join the YA Discord for updates.``

Hi, everybody. I've been playing BattleTech on and off for decades and I just started modding MW5 on PC to put custom merc logos on mechs. I know at least MercTech does that but I want to keep my game more vanilla for now.

Ideally, I could just replace the right player assets with faction assets that already have logo decals. I've tried a few things like reusing faction mech skins but they haven't worked and I don't understand exactly which files do what and how to properly edit them. So...

1. Is there a mod that just puts merc logos on the basic mechs? Or are there batches of logo-friendly mech textures that could replace the standard ones?

2. How does putting the logo decal on mech textures work? Do you add a second mech texture and make the logo its source? Or something else?

You have my sincere gratitude in advance for any help.
