HeroEncounters

Description
This mod allows hero mechs to replace normal mechs of the same weight class during missions. This gives an extra opportunity to salvage rare mechs, and makes missions more interesting. There are unique HUD icons for hero mechs of each weight class.

This will pick up on heroes added by other mods and allow them to spawn as well. This includes giving them the unique hero HUD icons added by this mod.

Mod options for:
Hero mech frequency
Preventing heroes from spawning from the default spawn pools
Maxing hero pilot and weapon level
Use of non-market heroes (AKA allows special heroes from campaign missions and quests to appear)
Ignoring unit card usage (Allows heroes from other mods that aren't set up as heroes to spawn)
Restricting heroes to specific factions
Restricting clan heroes to clan factions (When running a mod that adds clan mechs)
Giving hero mechs better AI (Boss AI)

Ok, I wonder if there's a mod I have that's conflicting with the icon because I went looking through my screenshots and I did see the Icon at one point in time, so unless it's coded to only appear when the mech is spawned into the map and isn't like a pre-spawned asset for a mission then it might not appear, because I've encountered the K9 UrbanMech hero without the icon.

@Cursed Hawkins Make sure you have the option enabled in the Hero Encounters mod options.

Unless I'm blind, but the HUD icon indicating when a hero mech is on the field just isn't appearing.

@KLS There is a No Owned Heroes mode that dramatically reduces the chances of duplicates, but due to some parts of the code I can't get at it isn't 100% reliable.

Are the mechs you already have excluded or will they spawn too?

@Kliever Odd. Try to un and then resubscribe. Sounds like something is probably wrong with the ModOptions config file.
