Hello all, I am wanting to try my hand at making new mechs, I have been adjusting other things without issue, but making 100% from scratch has left me with some infinite loads screens, so I was wondering, if the info I was trying to learn from may be outdated, as it was written in the first version of Vanilla or close to it. Can this be used as a template to make mechs now? I do have Flashpoint. http://btmodding.warriorsblood.com/index.php?title=Add_Grand_Dragon Specifically the info at the very end, for the modding the csv file for the Manifest, there is stuff in there I really didnt understand, like the specifics of some of the numbers in it. If that is outdated and no longer useful can you point me in the direction of one that is current? Also for the moment, I will not be making custom art assets, I will just use a Banshee's skin.

Hello all, I have been doing some light modding, and so far so good. I was really wanting to see about adding mechs into the game, not Clan stuff, the game isn't balanced for them so it would not work, but among others, I missed being able to level in my Crab, or have the Axeman, there was others too. I was also thinking of something completely new. I am just not sure where to start. I was thinking for testing purposes I could make an additional variant of a existing mech to test with, but I am not sure how to add in a variant of something existing either, copy a file and rename it, and modify the innards, but to make it appear on missions and in stores so I can salvage it. As for making new 3d assets, I would appreciate a link to free or inexpensive software I could learn on. I have been thinking about it for years just never doing it, but I have had lots, of what I think are great ideas, for several games for several years but only getting half there because I don't have the skill set for it, but I am thinking about fixing that as I cannot seem to keep my imagination in check. Also, if there is a youtube tutorial for the tools that are recommend, or something of that basic gist, please link that as well. Any info is welcome!
