Finaly! Both my first Mercs mod AND the sollution to its crappy skirmishes.
Here in this mod are two things:
- A modded Mercs mw2shell.exe, which rather than calling out BWD files that contain a single hill, mesa, or small group of structures from the PRJ file (i.e., mesa1.bwd, mesa2.bwd, dune.bwd...), I replaced these call-outs with AREx files and WLDx files from actual campaign missions, so instead of these weak, whimpy little scene pieces, you have beefy "Beta 7" cities, ice pillars, ranging hillscapes... and now even weather like snow and rain!
- An "RMG" folder with extra BWDs. Now in addition to the old stale lighthouses, firebases, dropships and what-not, I have added new things. Like a rebel firebase, POW camp, crashed dropship, Draconis listining post, and so forth.
With all these new factors and environments, you will not soon play a dull moment in Mercs' skirmish missions.

You need to patch and THEN put the shell in the directory (btw, my modded shell originates from 1.06, so I guess it doesn't matter if you patch or not) There will be occasional instances where you may not notice any major differences, but most often you will see dramatic changes (I don't even have to tell you how big).
