About this mod

A slightly less overpowered version of Overclocked Weapons. Adds 50% (rounded down) more damage to every weapon.

Permissions and credits
Changelogs
Semi-Overclocked Weapons is an extremely simple mod. It takes the stock version of every weapon and adds 50% (rounded down) more damage to each of them. It also makes those weapons available in all shops. These weapons are also available in Skirmish. It does not change any other stats. Heat, recoil, ammo usage, etc. all remain exactly the same as their stock counterparts. If, like me, you suck at BATTLETECH and wish there was a way to make the game easier without completely breaking it, this mod is for you!

All weapons included in this mod will have the manufacturer name Glory Arms and will have an additional sentence in their description: Overclocked by Glory Arms.

To Install:

  • Open your BATTLETECH data folder, located in \steamapps\common\BATTLETECH\BattleTech_Data\StreamingAssets\data
  • Copy the contents of the zip file into that folder, overwrite any existing files.
  • You're done!

Installation Note: If you've previously installed Overclocked Weapons, this mod will overwrite every file of that mod. No un-installation required.
Compatibility: By default, this mod won't work with any other mod that modifies VersionManifest, shopdef_Weapons_all, shopdef_Weapons_base_0, and shopdef_Weapons_base_1. If you'd like to install it alongside other mods that modify those, you'll have to manually open up this mod's version of each of those and copy all things that end in _0-Glory over to the game's copy of those files. Otherwise, this mod only adds weapons to the game which won't conflict with anything else.

I know for certain this mod does work with the following mods without manually copying lines of code/data:

I haven't tested with others, but let me know if this works with other mods and I'll update the list.

Balance Notes: This version of the mod still keeps the game fairly challenging in my experience. It is definitely more favorable for the player, but bad play can still put you in a tight spot. You also won't be running around one-shotting light mechs with AC/20s with this version of the mod (though you'll definitely take out at least one segment in most cases). 

Other Notes: This mod works with existing saves. If the weapons don't show up immediately in shops, you may need to refresh their inventory by waiting a few days (the default shop refresh interval is 14 days).

If you want an even more powerful version of this mod, check out Overclocked Weapons.

Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for this mod breaking your game. You should make a backup of your data folder before installing this mod (or any mod, for that matter), just in case.
