Is there any way to move the Mechs to other Bays? I have two holes in the top but I suspect the only way would be storing all my mechs.  Click and drag doesn't work.

Hammerstein posted:I think Breaching Shot would be way more interesting/versatile if it applied to all weapons of the same type. If you have a Mech with 1 LLaser, 3 MLaser and a PPC then this should allow you to fire all 3 MLasers with the Breaching passive. Breaching shot works with multishot. Makes double PPC setups a bit more viable.

KPC_Mammon posted:I've found leg mods that give - 10 and - 20 DFA self damage. They also come in -30 varieties, I've been idly thinking of figuring out if it's possible to build a mech that actually takes 0 DFA self damage but I would have to do some testing to see exactly how everything works and it seems like a pain in the rear end

Arrath posted:DFA damage is based on tonnage of the mech, so the bigger the better. Self damage is (mech's tonnage - leg upgrades) / both legs, right? Since I'm only able to reduce damage by 30 I'll need to look into how heavy I can go while still getting in multiple jumps.

Instead of being cockteased by that 2/3 firestarter while the Spider was reserved for Dekker whenever he left the hospital. Why would you put a pilot in a Locust. What did they do to you, be a Kickstarter Backer?

Has anyone seen ER Lasers available to purchase in any stores? My Atlas lost the arm fitted with the stock ER L Laser and I haven't been able to replace it. Additionally, looking for the named Heat Sinks for Assault mechs as well. I can only find the standard Heat Sinks but not Heat Sink (D). hellfaucet fucked around with this message at 23:27 on May 3, 2018 |

ER Lasers are trash, replace them with real weapons that aren't made entirely of fire.

LosTech is LosTech, once it's destroyed you're boned. Though technically for the latter there should be some dual heat sink prototypes roaming around in the Davion lands but they're basically married to the elite mech divisions until after Helm.

Both ER Large and Heat Sink D are Lostech, and cannot be replaced if destroyed, no store will ever carry them, nor do I think they show up as salvage. Same with the guass rifle you get.

It will also gently caress with my ability to run other games or watch something windowed with VLC player. I have to restart my computer at least once a day because of the issue. I've been assuming its a memory issue as well.

I mean there should be SOME Lostech to be found, especially on old Star League worlds and whatnot, given how there are hints of that on some planets. Maybe incredibly hard to find and rare as all heck, but still. I'm guessing its another thing that got cut for time, implementing how to get all that.

TMMadman posted:I had some weird crash that kept happening when trying to start the game until I restarted my computer. If you have an NVidia 960/70 or 1060/70, the latest driver is glitchy. Lots of folks have reported it suddenly not registering and forcing a reinstall. Reported fixes are downloading/installing directly from Nvidia rather than through GeForce Experience (currently trying this), or rolling back to a previous driver version.

Cool, yeah I guess I was just hopeful maybe they'd be available to find at some point. Guess I'm gonna have to farm mech salvage to get a surplus of LosTech mods for my Assault mechs.

They said in that dev ama recently that they're hoping to do some rebalancing (to make lostech energy weapons not total garbo) and also make it so you can get lostech outside of story missions.

If you don't want to wait you can edit the weapon .jsons to make them purchaseable and then edit the shop .jsons to include them yourself if it really bothers you. Make them as rare or common as you like. That said the listed stats for lostech besides the Gauss Rifle and DHS are hot garbage. So you can also edit the stats on the lostech weapons. I like making the lostech lasers essentially +++ versions of themselves. Do it after Kamea's SLDF royal rumble if you don't want to make that mission too easy on you.

Night10194 posted:Why would you put a pilot in a Locust. It was the very start of the game, I had 3 healthy pilots, 3 working non locust mechs, and three on planet missions right there in front of me. So I bought a 2/2/3/2 rookie, gave them a quick tour while I gave them the small mercy of waiting to customize my locust into something slightly less suicidal, and sent them on their way. Their bravery let me earn an extra 500-600k within a period of 3 days curbstomping half skull content letting me end up with a net gain rather than net loss waiting around for the rest of my stuff to repair and heal. I still have no idea what I'll do for their ability skills, they still have a wishy washy 4 in everything right now. But I expect now that they will never have to pilot a locust again they are doomed

And the last time I tried to mess with mods I couldn't even start the game properly I'm not going to lie, it's super easy to run into that problem. imo the trick is to pay real fuckin close attention to making sure commas are where they need to be, and mostly just copy-paste code that's already there and edit what you are drat sure is just a name pointing to a particular file or asset you want modded in. Shop .json files seem to be reloaded whenever you leave and enter a new system but I'm not sure if starsystem .jsons do that, or if they're defined at campaign start. Weapon .jsons seem to be loaded the instant you load a save so editing weapon values on the fly is easy (so easy that some nutbar nerfed small ACs to utter uselessness within days because Fidelity). Milestone .jsons are the most dangerous to gently caress with, in my experience, and I'm very uneasy about fiddling with anything in there. I'm pretty sure SimGameConstants.json only loads on campaign start.

A discord I'm involved in for BATTLETECH modding is about to be releasing a mod manager for the game. Gonna take a few more days of testing and implementation probably but it'll help make sure manual mistakes don't mess stuff up when adding mods. A bunch of us other folks are working on mapping out how various data files are connected to each other so that we can write up quickstart guides for adding/modifying mechs and weapons and such.

This seems to be incorrect, as I've made changes to the store, contract generation and other bits of SimGameConstants that have applied on loaded games. As for the rest, yes commas are super, super important. As well as interrelated arrays being of matching size. I just broke the AI and made it unable to move once combat started with one extra entry in an array that two others didn't have And the UI didn't auto select move or sprint on my own turns, either.

Online play only works if both players have the same (modded or vanilla) data files. So people can play modded games with each other.

RabidWeasel posted:A rediculously quick and probably quite good attempt to fix a lot of problems (movement / evasion generally not being great compared to Bulwark, lights being very quickly outclassed, sensor lock being underwhelming) would be to just make chevrons generate at double the rate, give them half the individual effect, and then doubling the effectiveness of sensor lock.  I think I have this working. Good news is the UI supports showing more than 6 pips without issue. The ticker showing your expected pips from movement doesn't quite line up with what you get once you move though, still working on that.
