Re: Adding a new clan to MechWarrior 2 intro screen

Been redoing all the models - finished the guns and lower arms since they were glitchy and will move the launcher to the correct side after fixing that as well. Then tweak the feet and finally get the colouring done...blue/gun metal blue with hints of gold or beige whatever works? EDIT - fixed the l...

Re: MW2: Mercs works until I try to launch a mission

I believe the MechWM comes with a version of DosBox? Just need to set it up and choose the DOS version settings and you should be ok.

Re: MW2: Mercs works until I try to launch a mission

I was looking up the issue and without tackling the differences in graphics handling that changed between the windows...sometimes just grabbing another DLL makes the difference for some of these games but I haven't seen anyone getting it to work in MechVM yet. Could be wrong. It boils down to other ...

Re: Adding a new clan to MechWarrior 2 intro screen

Still working on the legs and trying to get them to scale before moving onto the feet....have the night off tonight so might take a nap and work on the feet and possibly the textures. Want to take some new pics of this thing soon. EDIT - added some pics to at least show that I added the guns on the ...

Re: MW2: Mercs works until I try to launch a mission

It's not going to be that easy using Win10 via MechVM. At the end of the day, running a DOS version of the game using DosBox might be the best way to go. I think the 95 version of the game had both options but I think Titanium is strictly Windows 95/98/ME Some people run VM software as well to run t...

Re: BWD file tags

I think the first set of values for the OBJ tag are mixed around on the list - The Collision type contains the values mentioned in the Parent Id (FFFF) The Parent Id is usually a previous ID (lower number) that a child object is tied to and from there all translations, rotations, etc are based off o...

Re: Adding a new clan to MechWarrior 2 intro screen

I know others really aren't on these forums, but your work is awesome. This is really cool... Thanks man - appreciate it. :) Looked at the DTBL tag again and it seems in the middle of the 27 byte range is the total maximum OBJs allowed in any of the REPR containter (normally the highest level LOD t...

Re: Adding a new clan to MechWarrior 2 intro screen

Scratch that I added the gun when I compared BWDs and looked at the DTBL tag and noticed a byte that seem to indicate the maximum number objects allowed in a REPR section. So gotta add more to it in order to add more objects to the mech. Now I gotta fix all the stuff I ripped out of the BWD and go f...

Re: Adding a new clan to MechWarrior 2 intro screen

Welp, tried to add another part to the BWD so I can squeeze in guns on the arms and that failed miserably.

More importantly I need to automate the process to speed things up...might have to take some time off modding in order to do it - oh well.

I have been playing the BattleTech Beta way too much and not even sleeping enough before going to work so have gotten nothing much done this past week...just worked on the BWD and added the Antenna on the back. Need to do the following: Add the laser mounts on the arms Stretch all the upperbody text...
