Battletech/Mechwarrior Mod

Yeah, this game would be perfect for something like this.

Kanny wants a McKenna.

Please?

My plan for ship models is to take the existing ships, model them, and cut them into little peices. That way, you can build just about any ship you want, including the McKenna. Oh, and if you like the McKenna, check our site banner

I'm in need of a decent modeler and/or texturer. If anyone would like to help, drop me a line.

My $0.03, stick to "Classic" Battletech's era. The travesty they call Mechwarrior Dark Ages ruined everything, but times were good up until about 3065.

If you do get somewhere with this mod, some suggestions...
Jump Sails NOT having any mounting points. Last thing you want is a fragile sail turned into a Light-Bright
House/Clan insignias as mountable objects... A nice disc with the DiamondShark logo (just as an example) would add some much needed style to these unmarked hulls.
And Kanny's onto something, DAMN a McKenna would be nice...

Just some ideas...

This mod will take place in a time AFTER Mechwarrior Dark Age. This new era is being made by fans and will live up to what fans want. It's just like CBT but takes the MWDA stuff and incorporates most of it as well as adds some entirely new things. We will most likely be adding a Rotary Gauss for example, but it will be as balanced as possible and will hve its own advantages as well as disadvantages that will limit its use. Whether or not all of these things will be in the mod has yet to be decided, but we are taking the original BT warship weaponry and building off of that.

That is also a nice idea about the logos. If you guys would like to discuss some ideas more, go to www.galciv2bt.6te.net and register at the forums, that would be the best place to keep track of all of these ideas. If you've got a good one, I am more than willing to see if it will work.

Oh, and the McKenna will definetly be in this game, its in our banner after all

I tried to register there but it never sent me the registration email...

I have activated all accounts that were created. There's a problem with the activation emails, so we may get rid of the verification stuff.

Whoo! Battletech!
Sorry, I've been a fan for some time. I even bought a bunch of books recently despite no-one to play the actual game with just to read all the stuff again. (The "classic" thing still throws me off though... Makes me feel old.)

Signing up!

Hope I don't overflow your forum with ideas, but Battletech is an old favorite of mine, and anything relating to it is awsome.

New ideas are always welcome. I can't say all will be used, but I'll see what we can do.

Just looking/lurking. A BT total conversion type of mod will rock. Good luck.

So far the one thing I did to have a basic sort of BT Mod was exchanging the races' logos for BT logos provided in the library but I'm acurious as to what you guys are able to put together.

Well, drop by the site, which has moved to galciv2bt.com, and see what we are up to. There isn't a whole lot going on right now, mostly set up and background work for now, then we will start on modeling and all that other fun stuff like staring at endless pages of XML scripting. What fun!

If you would like to lend a hand, I'm in need of modelers/texturers and really anyone that wants to help can probably do something.

You could also swap invasion images and make that worth watching (Human Madcat vs drengin Atlas) and maybe switch the troop mods with, like, a mech commander drop ship. Also what would be interesting is to switch Invasion videos with replays of MW or MC games.

A Battletech mod would be cool, is there any way to change the images for the ground combat?
