Installation:
Simply download and run the executable from anywhere.
Make sure you have .net 7 desktop installed or you will get a prompt on startup.

This program edits the mod.json as well as overrides the modlist.json.

Quick User Guide:
You MUST select a main mods folder, the main mods folder is located inside your installation directory => MW5Mercs/Mods.
This is where the modlist.json will be written to.
Any vendor-related mods folders must then be selected as secondary folders.
Mods in secondary folders do not magically get transferred to the main folder.
If you select a secondary folder that the game does not recognize as a mods folder the mods in this folder will not be loaded into the game.

QUESTIONS?
I'm on discord as rjtwins in the Nexus Mods as well as in the MechWarrior: MW5Mercs & MWO servers.
Feel free to DM should you have any questions or remarks.
Trouble launching or having crashes?
Try and delete the "C:\Users\<user>\LOMV2" here "C" indicating your system disk (aka where you installed windows).
This is the folder where your install folder, version, and vendor are being kept track of.
Mirrors:

Spoiler:
To have the manager check if the dependencies for your mod are met, you will need to add the following to the mod.json file:
Where displayName_of_required_mod_1 is the displayName of the mod your mod is dependant on.
Example mod.json:
The user will see the following should he be missing dependencies:
Show
"Requires": [
"displayName_of_required_mod_1",
"displayName_of_required_mod_2",
"displayName_of_required_mod_3"
]
Where displayName_of_required_mod_1 is the displayName of the mod your mod is dependant on.
Example mod.json:
{
"displayName": "ExampleMod",
"version": "1.0",
"buildNumber": 1,
"description": "ExampleMod",
"author": "",
"authorURL": "",
"defaultLoadOrder": 0,
"gameVersion": "1.0",
