I love this Mod, Thank you for creating it. I have tested it using vortex, modtek and the internal mod loader. It works with all three. I noticed to get it to work with the internal mod loader you had to put it under (documents/my games/battletech/mods) when I used vortex I simply dropped it into the vortex app... I also noticed thae any battlemech or item you get from flashpoints often required a code which is not displayed in the list when you type (/list all) so in order to know what to type to get it... you hae to do a little experimentation.
I am unsure what I am doing wrong to get the mod to work. I used to have it working, but quit playing for a while. When i came back i did a fresh reinstall of the game and mods Im used to. 3062 and the others work, but i cannot get FoCS to work for some reason. Extracted and put into mods folder like the others. Any ideas?
First of all, I want to thank you so much for making this mod. I really love it. I can tell you that your mod does work with the BEX mod. I'm having trouble getting some mechs to generate mostly Clan mechs but also some inner sphere mechs. I will give you some examples. I figure it is not your mod but my having no clue on computer language or any programing knowledge that is causing the problems that are occurring. The answer to most of my job problems is that if you're having problems on the job then you're not using a big enough hammer lol. Alright example you want an Atlas Command mech then you type /mech AS7-D-DC (BAM you got an Atlas Command mech). Next example not so easy but I figured out what needed to be done. I wanted a Clan Jenner mech this is what your generated list showed. "mechdef_jenner_IIC" I figured out I needed to borrow from the inner sphere variant "mechdef_jenner_JR7-D" so I tried typing /mech JRD-IIC (BAM got an Clan Jenner mech) now for my problem I wanted to get a Wolf Clan Mad Cat from generated list "mechdef_mad_cat_timber_wolf-PRIME" so I typed /mech wolf-PRIME no mech so next tried /mech timber wolf-PRIME no mech, /mech TimberWolf-PRIME no mech, then I tried a different mech from generated list "mechdef_ryoken_stormcrow-PRIME" typed /mech stormcrow-PRIME no mech tried several different things still no mech. Next tried a inner sphere mech generated list "mechdef_hauptmann_HA1-O" typed /mech HA1-o no mech tried /mech HA1-0 no mech so I tried another inner sphere mech from generated list "mechdef_axman_AXM-1N" typed /mech AXM-1N (BAM got a mech) so when there is a clear code to use like AXM-1N there is usually no problem getting the mech but otherwise problems. I have tried using the BEX mechdef list no luck someone said to try the Skirmish mechbay list I have not found that list yet to try. So, any hints would be great or ideas to try would be great.
mad think I found the solution to why mod not work for others they are using symbols at beginning and ending was same for me till I removed them, were not programers so we made a silly mistake so tell them to try it.
Hi Xayte, I do only test my mods against ModTek, no problems there. As even the game's own mod management is inferior to ModTek i'd carefully suspect that Vortex is even less capable. To answer your question: I honestly don't know, you're not missing something and you really should consider using ModTek. Best regards, Mad

Hope this is helpful
You probably need ModTek: https://github.com/BattletechModders/ModTek, i did never test with vanilla mod-loader.

found one item that doesn't work though, probably because it ends in a +:
"Gear_TargetingTrackingSystem_Kallon_A-C-P150+"
