Works with game version: 1.1.338
Installation:
Download and unzip the main file. Place the unzipped folder containing a mod.json, Paks folder, etc. into the Mods folder of your MW5 installation (discard the Nexus created folder that has numbers at the end of the mod name). You can go in-game to Mods at the main menu and click the Manual-install folder if you're having trouble finding it. Final install path should look like Mechwarrior5\MW5Mercs\Mods\CoopUnlocked
BOTH HOST AND CLIENTS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE THIS INSTALLED
Details:
Tabs at the top of the home screen and some home buttons are unlocked for co-op clients.
Below are changes for clients unless specified for host. To give permissions, press the escape menu and click on the players name then give mechlab access (if it says mechlab access restricted).
Starmap:
Mech Management Screen:
Barracks:
Markets:
Operations screen:
Important:
Mechwarrior 5 was not made with this degree of Co-op interaction in mind. Many important things are not replicated to clients. I've hacked together ways to try and get that information but not every piece or update is accounted for nor can it be. Some odd side effects may occur. I recommend backing up your saves but it should be fine.
Mod Compatibility:
Everything overridden is required for specific parts of this to mod work. Use other mods at your own risk.
Should work fine with YAML, leave default load order or have this override YAML. Should work fine with my other mods.
Below is a list of assets overridden and their uses for this mod so you can figure out if the asset is okay to be overridden when adjusting your load order:
