Re: Adding a new clan to MechWarrior 2 intro screen

Looks like I'm getting serious about this now....been reading lots of the files here and already reinstalled my oldest 3D software to make my modest looking (going for an authentic dated look) intro. Looking into playing Kell's Refusal war campaign. (Just finished Mercs and enjoyed myself :) ) If it...

Re: Installing Mercenaries with Slug's Hook

If you happen to be one of the lucky few to have both DOS and Titanium then yeah it's not your first choice. Otherwise it seems you need to ensure you have as close as virtual machine as possible to make it work in Windows environment. You might have to do a dual boot and install windows XP raw no s...

Re: Installing Mercenaries with Slug's Hook

Umm, I can only get Mercenaries to behave using DosBox (on a XP sp3 machine) with the original DOS release. From what I've been reading here I honestly think Mercs will only run on a proper Win95 machine otherwise its hit or miss. I thought the Titanium version worked on Win98 but I believe you have...

Re: Age Poll

I'm a middle aged man now...LOL. Mechwarrior 2 to me was the closest thing to playing Robotech (had no clue about the history they shared). I was just a young man buying games - first for my Commodore 128 then straight to a Pentium 90 with like 8 megs or ram and 750 megs of hard drive. Fond memories...

Re: Light mechs

What do you do when you're in a heavy mech against a speedy mech like that? Just back up and swivel...try to keep them in your sights?

Re: Light mechs

That's an excellent question. I have never managed to be able to do much with anything with less than a Nova or Mad Dog. I recently played MW2 last trials on hard with them giving me a Firemoth against two heavy mechs. It was a hell of a learning curve but once I figured out the bob and weave style ...

Re: other Mecha-themed games?

I have fond memories of EarthSeige II. While not as in depth as Mechwarrior but still loads of fun even though it had a more arcade lean to it.

Re: Adding a new clan to MechWarrior 2 intro screen

I'm still browsing here and I'm thinking about having some fun with a pre-existing campaign. Gonna play it through and see if I dig it :)

Adding a new clan to MechWarrior 2 intro screen

Hi, (Sorry I deleted my original post and moved it to the appropriate section) I was noticing that MW2 uses smacker (which I have experience using before making custom missions for X-Wing vs Tie-Fighter) so replacing the SMK files for the intros and opening clan sequences wouldn't be an issue. The r...
