Oh well, all the best to ya with clan plans. The paint jobs for this tittle released this far are much appreciated anyway.

Well, I'm about to purchase the new clans game. So, if I like that I will be moving over there once they release the modding toolkit. But we will see. I've never been a huge fan of clan era but the game being on UE5 might be enough to tip the balance.

@42and19 Still the best mech skin mod around, Would be very well received if you do.

It's...on pause. I kinda got sick of the MW5 modding community. Lots of asset theft, bullheadedness, and lazy work. I am feeling the itch to get back into the game and that will likely come with me kickstarting this mod again. That being said it should still work with the newest versions of the game. They haven't reworked the tag system in a major way that would break things entirely. As for mod support.... I didn't end up getting the update for mod support finished before things kinda hit the fan for me. It would also depend on how the mod author is structuring their tags for mechs. If they are building off the existing system than mod support is possible. Otherwise, I would need access to their source files and I would essentially need to maintain a separate mod just for that.

Is this still active? And does it work with those YAM YAR mods?

Blackwatch skin is awesome. SLDF skin when? (yes i know alot of the regiments had their own colors buta HUGE number of them had much the same paint scheme with slight variations based on origin and indivdual tastes.)

So it looks like when you use the Apply All mode to paint mechs, this mod causes all mechs to default to the Chromium paint scheme.

Although many arer beautiful; adding Sarah's jenner-
upon seeing that, several of us in our mw5 campaign change Leon's name to "Sarah" -
renamed his Jenner "sarah's jenner" - and applied the skin.
Thank you.
Our favorite fallen mechwarrior fights on, in our hearts, and in our campaigns < S >
thank you.

The black watch paint job for the Battlemaster seems to be all messed up. At least on my game anyway. Specifically the BLR-1GHE Hero variant. I have not looked at others.
Bumdart 25 Mar, 2023 @ 3:00pm 
Thumbs up for Sarah.
Adeptus Astiddies 23 Mar, 2023 @ 12:51pm 
Awesome mod, would like to know when you plan on updating :steamthumbsup:
Gman 19 Feb, 2023 @ 12:16pm 
glad to hear that! :)

Just a note, I do plan on releasing an update soon now that PGI is done releasing DLCs. Have a lot on my plate so it may take a bit. Currently working with the PirateTech team and working on assets for a game. :D

But I will... at the very least... get an update that should add support of all existing variants of the mechs that I already have in the mod. This would include ANY other mod that uses the proper tag system for added mechs.
42and19  [author] 19 Feb, 2023 @ 10:52am 
Not sure why you all aren't getting this mod to work. In my testing everything fires up just fine with the latest updates. Wonder if something with the workshop version specifically got messed up.
Gman 19 Feb, 2023 @ 8:28am 
Stil dont seem to be workin. Quite the shame, i wanted to don the colors of the black watch. q-q
Not Your Average G00NER 11 Oct, 2022 @ 1:20pm 
mod doesnt work anymore these options arent in the paint selection
Xavius 3 Oct, 2022 @ 11:02am 
Any chance I could use the Dapplas for a Hero 'Mech?
Cursed Hawkins 12 Aug, 2022 @ 1:03pm 
So is there a possibility to make a Wolf's Dragoon's themed paint jobs for the current roster of mechs? I can provide templates for the color schemes as I've made as a current representation of their different groups in the Wolf's Dragoons.
Kerry 14 Jul, 2022 @ 12:36am 
Hey @42and19, have you got any updates on my request?

Just as a reminder, that request is to add the paint scheme that you see on the 'Mechs of the 1st Somerset Strikers from Battletech the Animated Series.

Mechs for the scheme would be the mechs piloted by the team members in the show:

Awesome
Mauler
Wolfhound
Centurion
Bushwacker
Axeman
42and19  [author] 13 Jul, 2022 @ 11:26pm 
No, they will not. Prior to this most recent DLC I had to tag each variant individually. However, they fixed that (after many prods from yours truely). I'm still recovering from a move and need to get my digital art set up finalized but once I do I plan on getting back to this mod and pushing out an update that will allow for the paint schemes to work on ANY variants added by either PGI or mods.

I'm also working on a new version of the Black Watch scheme, but no eta on a release for that.
[KWSN] fear the beard |_CM_| 13 Jul, 2022 @ 11:03pm 
it seems like the paint schemes does not apply to the latest dlc atlas variant (AS7-P) nor the marauder 2 (MAD-5A).

Just got into this game, and love this mod - thanks! (Dapplas made me laugh out loud when I first saw it, but it looks truly great in combat!)

HAHAHHA
Wayz 30 Nov, 2021 @ 1:16am 
Also the black beat to hell skin for STK-M (Misery), Can that be adapted to other chassis?
Wayz 26 Nov, 2021 @ 12:00am 
More Grey Death Legion mech's please=)
trickcrtreat 2 Oct, 2021 @ 5:52am 
i love these paint schemes the fancy Atlas is my favorite. This is going to sound ridiculous, could the artist add Hawaiian shirts to the paint schemes. Just a random funny thought when looking at the Lance this morning.
rattle 16 Sep, 2021 @ 1:40pm 
@42and19 just read the reply a couple months later. Fried my Windows 10 install after 6 years so I don't have the game installed right now.

Just remember out of my head that the HotIS variants of vanilla Mechs lacked some skins
Kerry 11 Sep, 2021 @ 6:31pm 
Fantastic. I actually got hooked on Battletech thanks to the animated series and I've never really seen the show referenced anywhere.

I would really appreciate this, especially if you were able to get this design on the rest of the in-game 'mechs, but with a special touch given to the Dragon.

While not exactly seen in the show, I would like that more for a special request, I have designs on a non-canon Clan formed by the Inner Sphere, dedicated to and in direct counter from the antagonistic Clan Jade Falcon.

I call it Clan Gold Dragon, since gold dragons are normally forces for good.
42and19  [author] 11 Sep, 2021 @ 5:36pm 
I do have an update in the works. I just had a HDD failure and lost the modding toolkit and have to rebuild the mod. Thankfully I had all my raw assets backed up so it's mainly just building data files. :P

That skin wouldn't be too hard. I may end up adding that at some point. The next few updates I have planned are centered around finished the current designs I have (ie getting them on all mechs in the game)
Kerry 11 Sep, 2021 @ 5:20pm 
If you ever do an update of this, would you do the paint scheme that you see on the 'Mechs of the 1st Somerset Strikers from the animated series?

Mechs for the scheme would be the mechs piloted by the team members in the show:

Awesome
Mauler
Wolfhound
Centurion

aaww, you added saras jenner, i donated back then when i read that story, it was so sad
42and19  [author] 3 Aug, 2021 @ 11:07pm 
Just want to let everyone know that this mod is not dead by any means. I'm am just dealing with a lot of real life issues at the moment but once I get things stabilized I will get back to work and push out more updates.
42and19  [author] 20 Jul, 2021 @ 11:00pm 
It's intentional. That skin was made before the DLC where they added a couple new layers to the paint scheme files. I only had three colors to work with and the tartan took up all three of them.
number1sweek 19 Jul, 2021 @ 4:23pm 
Hey just a quick question. I'm a huge fan of the Black Watch, and I really want to use the scheme on my mechs. In the image preview it appears to be black or dark grey, with dark green, and the tartan stripe. In game however, it appears as almost a bare silver metal. Is this a bug or intentional?
42and19  [author] 11 Jul, 2021 @ 11:11am 
Pushed out an update that should fix the issue with the skins not showing on DLC specific variants and heroes.
42and19  [author] 11 Jul, 2021 @ 11:02am 
rattle, when you have a moment can you check out the ARC-AGC and tell me if you see the Black Watch, Dragon Irregulars, or Silver Hawks Irregulars skin for that mech?
42and19  [author] 11 Jul, 2021 @ 10:40am 
huh, That issue should have been fixed with this update. I will look into that later today.
rattle 11 Jul, 2021 @ 7:42am 
Skins which should apply to the hero Mechs and the P variants of listed Mechs of the HotIS don't show up

Most P variants seem to be affected and the new hero variants.
Winter 9 Jul, 2021 @ 2:01pm 
Just a small correction. You called them the "Legendary Blackwatch" when I think you will find they are more properly called "The GODDAM Blackwatch" or alternately "Those Mad B*stards who love Whisky, Kilts and Murder"
