Since I've been getting comments and messages like these: https://i.imgur.com/Hbmt1kn.png I thought it would be good if I explain some stuff here.
This mod can not just be "updated"... it needs to be re-made. The game that was released in 2019 was an under-development alpha version, PGI continued to develop it further. A lot has been changed on the foundation of this game. The modded assets are not simply added to the game, they replace original assets in the game file... and when original assets go through major updates, then your old modifications replacing the new files will often lead to crashes, since the modded assets does not include the updates PGI made. The changes to modded assets can not be "copy/pasted". That's not how UE4 works. You need to create functions, address variables, modify original code and BP graphs... none of which is "copy/paste-able"
Back in early 2020 I had free time and could work 5 hours a day on mw5 mods. This is not the case anymore. I am neck deep in work projects and don't even have enough time to sleep. Even through weekends. I can't take hours off, and I can't accept donations or have any financial problems. Simply, I don't have enough time on my hands. Certainly not a full month of full time every day work that's needed to remake this.
This is going to be the situation at least for the next 7-8 months. After than, I'll have to wait and see.
I know other people are working to create something similar and I will help them as much as I can.
Well dang this was by far the best mod for the game. With all the DLC and without this mod.. the game.. sucks as far as I'm concerned. Almost unplayable without Navida. If I could afford it I would just give him a years salary to update this mod so that the game is good again lol.
its 2023 as i type this but i am willing to kick in 100USD. maybe if we get a few people to kick in something we can convince dude to remake this mod. this was a great mod. the best for this game hands down
damn, too bad this mod is dead. i'll kick 100usd to help convincce dude to remake this mod to 2023 standards. if not i get it. it probably was time consuming to make this mod. it was the best mod for this game
Thank you man< for one of the best mod of MW5. I am wery like it. Now we have a lot of mods, but problems with them too))) That was wery good, balanced mod.
Noticed this mod issnt being remade anymore. Thought id try my luck anyway with someone else here who might have had the same error. Get this error when lauching game after enabling the mod. Is there a fix?
Most people probably don't know but you can use the depotdownloader on github to basically download any old version from Steam since Valve decided to remove the console from their shitty client.
What old version of the game do i need to run this ? for me this game feels exactly the same as when it launched, i barely see any improvements. You bet i'll pick mods over some minor updates.
i dont even feel like playing this game without this mod, it is that good, hope things improve for you, doesn't matter if you never come back to make the mod again. See ya when we see ya
Real life always comes first. Glad you're in a place where work and financial issues aren't the biggest concerns. Sorry you're not getting enough sleep . . . hopefully you've got enough caffeine to compensate.
However, if you happen to find yourself with the ability to rebuild this mod, I'll throw my voice in there as one of those who'd love to see it done. Never got to enjoy it in the early days of MW5, but even as other replacements have risen in the days of MW5 DLCs, the concepts of this mod are still the most straight forward and least invasive -to the overall experience- of any of the "full mechlab" mods.
Best of wishes and thank you for all of the work you put into pioneering the modding of MW5.
I'm playing the old version of MW5M and downloaded your two main files which offers the drop tonnage limit and the other one without. The thing is, as playing through the game, the thermal visions doesn't work when key "H" is pressed. And I've checked in the controls if there is an option available to rebind it but couldn't see any.
Anyway just letting you know and thanks for a great mod.
It is tragic to not able to play your mod because i just play this game. Thank you for your work and hope you will have time to work on this mod again. Cheer, mate!
Hi!!! I really have to agree with you. So you want to know what I did? I downloaded an old version of the game. And segreagted all three: MW5M, HOTIS and LOTKL. With their respective mods, now the LOM manager has been finally been put into good use not just focusing on one game's mod but for three different games.
With all the updates happening lately, it is really terrible to see the efforts of these people being set aside by the developers not thinking, if not for the likes of these guys, giving effort to make their game more interesting, it has in fact gave longevity for a game that has first came out way back 10 December 2019. And now again, we are nearing December 2021, so that will make it two years of its lifespan, compared to other games that only lasts their appeal for a maximum of 6 months maybe even less.
So, to not forget these wonderful modders that gave us an opportunity to enjoy this game with a lot of immersion and additional cosmetics and most of all they did this for free unless otherwise if you'll consider to give them something as a compensation for their hard work voluntarily, I did just that.
Separate all three games with their respective mods, and anytime you want to switch to a game back and forth, just don't forget to switch out your save file in: C:Users/(username)/AppData/Local/MW5Mercs/Saved.
It would even be best to take out the whole Saved folder. create a new one for each, aptly named for say, "MW5M old version", "HOTIS" and "LOTKL", and keep it somewhere safe for retrieval.
As for the game itself, I installed it on 3 different drives: drive D, E and F.
Well, it's just a suggestion if you want to enjoy this game with the modder's enahancement. For the moment I went back to the old version because I missed Reloaded, setting aside LOTKL for now.
And as for the older mods archived by the author, you can always message them if they will agree to unarchive the mod that you need. You can always base the time frame for the old MW5M mods when HOTIS came out which was 26 May 2021, and for LOTKL 23 Sept 2021 until present.
Well I hope this helps my friend. Again its just a suggestion on how you can keep playing the game with the modder's enhancements and also this is a way to show our appreciation for their efforts and most of all our full respect to them.
