I have no clue why the Diamond Shark logo is wrapped around where the guns should be.(???)

New mech

This is a Catapult on a Timberwolf chassis, I thought they would compliment each other real well.

Okay, Skyfaller, I have a theory about these odd textures. Could it be that the game does not select certain .XELs by name, but by the XELs location on the PRJ?

In other custom chassis related news, I have been able to use NIAS mechs in Mercs without the use of the NIAS shell, all I did was replace any mech .BWD in the .PRJ with an NIAS BWD with equal or lesser size. And then I just play the mech that had it's BWD replaced. I would like to learn how to edit BWD's to move/rotate mech pieces, can you show me how-to Skyfaller?

Did my second post on this thread answer your question sufficiently?

Thanks Sky, this will help in making some NAIS style mech BWDs. I'll get into it shortly.

Say Archon, if you want those mechs, you gotta put up some referance pix for me and be patient for the BWD. I'll try a challenge, but remember I'm still learning. :)

Just a bunch of links:

Sarna.net has stats and concept art: Night Gyr and Turkina
Camospecs.com shows lot of painted miniatures: Night Gyr and Turkina
MekTek recently announced they will feature a Turkina in MekPak 4: http://mektek.net/index.php?ind=news&op ... le&ide=992
However, I prefer the classical design for the Turkina.
