** WARNING: Attempting to add mechs to a mod without proper knowledge of that mod may break it and void any support from the respective mod teams. this tool should only be used for mods you are developing ** This mod is only available on Nexus mods, if you have downloaded it from somewhere else it has been stolen and I cannot guarantee it is free of malware. Common Problems and Questions
1. Where do I load from? If you are using Vanilla or a mod that does not move the save location, simply press 'Load Registry' to load the available custom mechs. If you use a mod that moves the save location (Like BTA or RT), then press the arrow next to 'Load Cache', select the appropriate mod and then select the root of your Battletech installation when prompted and it will load the available mechs.
2. My mod moves the save location but is not listed
