About this mod

This mod enables the 8 Official mechs from the Clan and Inner Sphere Mech Paks to be available to the player in the Vanilla retail release of MW4 Mercs. This is NOT for the MekTek release.

------------Version 2.0 is now available!----------- 

This new version fully integrates the MechPak mechs into the single player
campaign. All eight of the mechs will now be offered for sale on the
Free Market as time progresses through the campaign. You no longer need
to use the modded Solaris VII missions to get the mechs in your
campaign. Just simply drag and drop the new 2.0 version of core.mw4 into
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\MechWarrior
Mercenaries\RESOURCE\ (overwrite the existing core.mw4 if prompted) and start a new campaign with any of the sponsors.

----------------------------------------------------

Enables the following Mechs in the retail version of MechWarrior 4 Mercenaries: Arctic Wolf, Cauldron-Born,
Dragon, Hunchback, Highlander, Kodiak, Masakari, Zeus.
All of these Mechs are already in the base game, but are unavailable to the player. In the past they were enabled by installing the Official Clan and Inner Sphere Mech Paks. However, the Mech Paks do not work on modern 64 bit systems due to a broken DRM implementation. This mod/patch enables them for use by the player.Simply overwrite core.mw4 in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\MechWarrior Mercenaries\RESOURCE\ with the core.mw4 version here. This will enable the mechs to be edited in the MechLab and used in Instant Action.Even after enabling the mechs with the new core.mw4, they do not drop as salvage and cannot be purchased on the free market during a campaign. If you want to use the mechs during the campaign then move thefiles in the maps folder downloaded here to C:\Program Files\(x86)\Microsoft Games\MechWarrior Mercenaries\RESOURCE\MISSIONS\ on yoursystem and overwrite all of the following files when prompted
  • jungle02.mw4
  • jungle03.mw4
  • jungle05.mw4
  • factory03.mw4
  • factory05.mw4
  • colsm02.mw4
  • colsm05.mw4
  • colsm06.mw4
This will make the mechs drop from placing first in various matches on Solaris VII. Note: the C-Bills reward for first place has been
removed from these Solaris Matches since you now get a whole mech as the
reward.
