Changelogs
Version 1.0
Initial release. updated core.mw4 and some Solaris VII missions to award the new mechs
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 the files in the maps folder downloaded here to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\MechWarrior Mercenaries\RESOURCE\MISSIONS\ on your system 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.
