MechWarrior 2: Resource Forum

As promised, here are some notes on the structure of the MTBL chunk: http://mw2.jjaro.net/mtbl.h There are a couple fields that I don't understand and there's a potential to be missing some of the flags, but by and large everything's there.

I'm not afraid of working with other people's code, but I've never looked into MechVM and have no idea what it's all about. My laptop is currently suffering from some power issues, but a new supply is in the mail and when it arrives I'll have a look and see what's what.

I just caught wind of this community yesterday via an emblem in a Youtube video, and I was stunned to see that, along with being a general community for MechWarrior 2, you guys specifically had a development thing going. I've been working with the DOS engine for quite some time, and I've ...
