About this mod

Makes BattleTech more Roguelike

THIS MOD IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE EASY, ENEMIES ARE DEADLIER AND THAT'S INTENTIONAL!

I mean, how fair would it be to just have the player have all these fancy toys?



(i will keep pushing updates whenever i find a bug, independent of anything else i planned)

RogueTech

RogueTech has as goal to provide new challenges and a harsher simgame experience. You have to survive by all means, the enemy's will do their best to kill you and no one gives a rats ass about some merc dying.

The timeline for this mod is at the start of 4th Succession and the War of 3039, when the the first technologies of the Helm Core appear around the sphere. The base install has units and tech up to 3061. Optional modules include units and equipment from the Civil War, Jihad, Dark Age and Republic eras as late as the year 3130.

Highlights

  • Big, RogueLike, Sandbox Experience
  • Rebalanced Sim and Combat game, to give you a harsher world.
  • Variety: Literally thousands of mechs and vehicles each spawning with the appropriate factions. Who you are fighting matters.
  • With the great houses scrambling for superiority and unlocking the secrets of Helm, new weapons arrive on the battlefield, but nothing is cheap.
  • Tonnage means nothing!, Everything is balanced around what your Lance costs, not what it weights
    • MASSIVE CUSTOM CAMPAIGN DIFFICULTY OPTIONS


IMPORTANT!

If you had other mods installed, and the game doesn't start, delete all saves that uses these as the game may
try to reference files from these and can crash on start-up.

This is a HBS issue with internal databases on saves, not a RogueTech bug.


Install

DO NOT INSTALL INTO THE HBS MODS FOLDER!

DO NOT PUT THE LAUNCHER OR PRECACHE IN YOUR DESKTOP OR DOWNLOADS FOLDER!
OR ANY OTHER WINDOWS CONTROLLED FOLDER!

Download it to its own directory somewhere on your drives and make sure you have the ~20gb free it needs


The PreCached Installer comes with the launcher and all required files.
The Launcher is standalone and will Automatically Install and Update RogueTech.

The Launcher automatically will Install the CAB and keep the Mod updated.

You do not need a separate CAB download anymore.

  • Run the Launcher
  • Select your BattleTech\Mods Location (should autodetect correct path)
  • Update and Configure your RT Install
  • The Launcher will install everything as required, including ModTek
  • Start through the Launcher


Update:

  • Check file description and changelog if you have to do clean install
  • Installer has a option to clean up prior installations
  • Installer will delete modtek cache and take care of most things



Changelog
The exact changes will be kept in Articles, so you can check what it all does (will do my best to clean it up).

Special Thanks

Notes
Anyone may take this apart to figure out how modtek works, ill try to add as many different stuff as possible for this purpose. I will also answer about everything i learn and tell you how to use it.
