why pointless....the battletech universe is one of the most diverse and interesting universes. Mnay games have been spawned from this ranging from shooter through to strategy games. It was a sad day when they completly shut down Mechwarrior 4 after have 3 previous games that in their time were extremly succesfull and INOVATIVE! Dice sure as hell werent the first one to come up with a walking battle mech, and even in their code they call it a mech not a walker. so why would you think this be pointless to bring battletech action to a new engine?

Yeah i was reading some about that in bfeditor forums, in addition there was another mod called MTS (Mech Tactical Simulator) that got "shut down" via EA/DICE.[TUF]Catbox wrote:
The mod was Shattered Faith and their main guy, Scott Zier got a job at a game company... The rest of the guys went to the First Strike mod(Starwars type)... The problem they had was child pco's couldnt be added to a pco... i believe... With 2142 you can do that now...brome wrote:
Well the very best of luck to you, but I think that the last team to have attempted something like this (for BF2) ran into a serious roadblock in the form of hardcoding. I'm not quite sure exactly what the problem was, but it prevented them from using mechs. They also ended up being shunned by EA and as a result by most of the community. All morale was lost and they gave up. They were trying to make a futuristic mod for BF2, and I suppose EA was protecting its interests because of the upcoming 2142, but since 2142 is essentially the same game repackaged, you may have similar difficulties.xWSxCriminalx wrote:
I've been toying with the idea of starting up a mechwarrior type mod for 2142. Many features would be 20+ different battlemechs, air vehicles and exo-skeletons (elementals). Not sure if i want to even push forward since much depends on what the community wants. Just curious if you guys would even play something like that.

Well as far as jump jets go that is DEFINETLY not a problem i have already strapped jump jets onto the Reisig and Bogatyr for testing purposes and its "fairly" easy to code in. The jump jets work nicely except i have one problem with stabilization and trying to stop the mechs legs from moving whilst in the air.GorillaTicTacs wrote:
Don't forget making them jump-jet capable...take the stats from the pods and make them the X button for the appropriate mech models. You can then adjust the power of the jump jet activation similar to how they change it between regular and assault mode. I only count 4 mechs on your modeling list that have inherent jump jets, but nothing says you can't add more.
Even if you just did Elementals, that would be the shiznit to add to the game without an overhaul.
MG arm (ATV top gun stats)
Rocket launcher shoulder boards (secondary fire, walker missile stats but only 2 at a time)
Jump capable (X key, launches itself just like a pod from an APC)
Running mode
Crouching mode
Armored (not sure how much, vulnerable in the face plate)
Regenerating
It would be bigger than human, so it wouldn't fit down Titan vents or in some crawl spaces, but otherwise would make a great edition to the game.
As far as the Elementals go right now i'm testing out rather they will be a vehicle or the actual player model. I like the idea of a seperate vehicle for the elementals the whole problem comes with animation.
BTW THANKS YOU SO DAMN MUCH, i was trying to figure out a damn key to map the jump jets too but the problem was that all the keys were already in use by the walker and groud vehicles block out any other control input, the X key is perfect though since i think active defense is the gayness.
Add me to your xfire xxCriminalxx cause it seems like you have many ideas and i'd love to hear more. everything you have said here is definetly dooable.
all the above mentioned mechs would be in the real fallback in all of this is that it wont be in true Mechwarrior style where you could customize your mech with different loadouts. I have no idea where to begin for coding that sortof thing in. However i have models for the following mechs

ive noticed the same thing on the top of the titan, its annoying if you're trying to defend. BUT if you wanna pad a bunch of RDX kills then its greatMajor.League.Infidel wrote:
Yeah I found one of those on top of my Titan today. After I gave up trying to blow it up, I just spawn raped the people dropping onto it.
yeah it seems to help with ALT TABing too. But you gotta admit it is weird that it wasnt included since 1024 and 1280 are the most used resolutions.

its not exploiting its part of the game mechanics. learn to deal with the 3rd dimension, you have a multitude of weapons @ your fingertips to still attack those guys. ie. rifle rockets + sniper + artillery

80 hours in titan AA....wow, you should maybe try playing the rest of the game.ketel0ne wrote:
I have almost 80 hours in them, never seen one taken out by RDX. Anti tank, or the attack chopper, thats the only 2 ways I have ever seen.
I also think there arent as many rules on most servers. Before you used to log into a battlefield 2 server and there would be 15+rules sitting on the loading screen. Now it just like "Welcome to XXX server dont tk have fun."
Much easier to admin this way and alot more fun for most of us.

Agreed, use a mix of bf2 and 2142 stuff maybe. That'd be a cool project.Towelly wrote:

Well written as always AOP. I guess some really do "care" about their stats and frankly it's a time investment which is worth far more than anything else. I do feel badly for the people that are reset for no apparent reason.AmbassadorofPain wrote:
Let's assume you could actually write. I don't mean putting letters together so they form words, I mean "writing a text that entertains an audience." Let's say, you practiced the art of writing texts that entertain readers. Soon, you started to write longer texts and all of a sudden, you discovered you had written a novel. 600 Pages. You hand it to people around who read and actually like it. You grab the novel and go to see a publisher. As you're about to enter the subway, someone steals your backpack with the novel in it. It's gone and you didn't have a copy. You spent so much time on it, you worked on it until it felt right - and now it's gone. Did you do anything to deserve this? Most likely not, and this is what we're talking about here. We're not talking about padders or glitchers getting reset but about the average player who went to bed just to find his account wiped the next day.Stingray24 wrote:

Stat server eliminated and all the losers who gloat about their massive points dissolve into tears. ROFLMAO
I have decided not to write a novel but to create an online alter ego. I have decided not to spend my time writing, but playing. I have spend my time on a project of my choice and I have done nothing to deserve this project being taken away from me.
I'm sure, this goes for 99% of all players who are affected by these problems.
So, ffs, keep your gleefull comments to yourself. There's no need for that.
haha ya nub, battlerecorder never shows kill msgs. Tell you what when you have any CLUE what you're talking about come back until then...

well here's the great thing, if you never click space bar and just use free camera the whole time for a 2142 battlerecorder then you never have to see nametags. HOWEVER if you click space then you're SOL. But if you want to get rid of nametags (this worked in bf2 at least i assume its the same)LT.Victim wrote:

you need to

To join servers you need the original file so copy it back when you are done.

Just a quick vid meant to check our battlerecorder setting on the TOP server (EA UK 24/7 Gibraltar and Berlin | Rackage.com). Just thought i'd share
agreed, the high rank guys are the ones that are really gonna take it to heart in 2142.
cause from what i hear i think he'll get a little pissy. His anguish will sustain me
What server is this guy on word is that he is "unkidnappable" damn thats some good engrish.
unoriginal queers cant come up with anything on their own. You aint getting creativity for free out of me lazy ass DICE
haha i love you guys that sit on the statics. Grenades...oh noes...AR rocket...oh noes!...pilum/mitchell....oh noes!!....walker....oh noes!!! APC secondary fire....oh noes! Keep sitting on it...and remember if you're looking at me i cant kill you.
get a friend to spawn on you support and lay motion mines all over the top of the shield thats what i did

its fun and makes the nubs cry, ff off to much fun. Why dont you criers go to the ROE and request them to add that to the list of 100+ rules we dont follow.
we need it we're canadian dont hate.
haha which is alot less than the good old bf2 days at least 3-4 servers a night! I think its cause we're being less abrasive, but who knows. I wanna try for more tommorow.
its cause your so damn l33t straz.
i have 50+ collectors they work fine mostly though they take a few seconds sometimes a minute to register ingame.
I cant tell you how many goddamn assault kits i pick up and there is either smoke nades or only rockets or the shitty herzog shotty. wtf, smoke nades over defib wow just wow.
