shit

Not over yet, Firefly. new Shadow of Kerensky DLC for mercs is coming up.

@Firefly - Lol, thanks for that! And for all the work you've done with this mod, both in terms of development and updates, over the years. Here's hoping you're right about development updates!

Top mod I cannot play without. Again, thank you for everything. :)

@Olleros Did done.

I, uh, forgot, lol. But I'm replaying MW5 so I have enough motivation to update it. Especially now that MW5C is out which implies the end of the development cycle for MW5M.

Hey firefly! Has there been any updates to this mod regarding the broken icon you mentioned on March 20th?

Been playing around with the custom color options in the .ini file and here is my favorite layout (and happens to be more colorblind friendly):

1:(R=1,G=1,B=1,A=1)
0.99:(R=1,G=1,B=0,A=1)
0.8:(R=1,G=0.66,B=0,A=1)
0.6:(R=1,G=0.33,B=0,A=1)
0.4:(R=1,G=0,B=0,A=1)
0.2:(R=0.66,G=0,B=0,A=1)
0.0:(R=0.33,G=0,B=0,A=1)

Starts yellow and progressively gets more orange until red at 40% HP, then the red continues to get darker as the part is closer to breaking. Has the nice effect of making it obvious when armor is about to break since the dark red begins blending with the black silhouette. Also when a structural component is severely damaged the darker color stands out a lot so you quickly know only 1-2 more good hits is needed until destruction.

I can't get this work atm even if I load it last.

ArmorGreen seems to break some kind of icon, creating a white square where that icon should be. This should just be a visual bug, meaning it's not urgent. I'll get around to fixing it this weekend.

Great mods - thanks

Working now. Thanks!

@Agitatio Thxm8, I left a comma in the mod options file, breaking everything. Try again.

Doesn't show up in Mod Options.

Should work now.

@Firefly, if you are willing to provide the UE4 source files I can take over maintaining it.

@Ahobaka Wonderful... every update they have to change UI_Utils, why can't there be an easier way to update? Or better yet, easier way to implement this mod? I don't want to update every single update!
Whatever... I'll start working on it tomorrow. See if I still have the mod tools installed. Standby.

This fantastic mod needs and update. Doesn't work in DLC5. Actually makes some mechs invulnerable and shots phase through them completely right now.

I really appreciate you making this mod. Seriously, the modified color scheme is perfect. I can keep track of my and my lance's status so much easier with four-stage colors for armor status.

18,000 current subscribers... 23,000 unique subscribers... insane... I just wish I could implement it better so I don't need to keep a constant eye on this every time the game updates.

I love the new color scheme. Just brilliant

@TwilightDusk Technically, it doesn't REQUIRE mod options, but I did a bad default so it won't read from ini unless you use it or manually edit Game.ini so it reads the ini. Uh, see a comment down below for how to do that. It's easier to say "requires mod options" and let end users figure it out from there.

When the description says "Requires Mod Options," does that mean it won't function at all without it, or just that we need to download Mod Options if we want to toggle between the presets?

Lexus Mods aka Cash Grabbers ... Their external mod installer is a money pit ... Lets just ignore this and download from real community modders

Its working again, thanks

@Mr.Person have him unsubscribe to the mod, and resubscribe.

My friend and I have an issue where we have all the same mods, but it works perfectly fine for me, but whenever my friend tries to load into a save, he crashes.

Why would he be having issues and I don't when we are using the same mods and such?

Thanks for the update

Nifty update, thanks!

Sup fools. I updated the mod. The ini locaton has changed and you can now change presets via Mod Options. Sadly, I may have set the default preset to NOT be the ini, so if you don't want to download Mod Options but want to use the ini...

Open ...

%localappdata%/MW5Mercs/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor/Game.ini

Add ...

[ArmorGreenConfig]
ArmorGreenConfigPreset=3

Then it will read from the ini at it's new location ...

%localappdata%/MW5Mercs/Saved/Config/ArmorGreen.ini

Mod status: Blue. Picked this mod up on a whim when I started playing, man have I missed it for the last week or so. It's really nice, lots of info in a small, well done package.

It has come to my attention that steam auto-updating the mod may not work out so well as I make a new project, with a different folder name, when a new DLC comes out. If this doesn't work immediately, please unsubscribe, then re-subscribe. That should clean the workshop folder in preparation for a new folder.
And if you have an option between "ArmorGreen" and "ArmorGreenRasal", pick the latter.

Well, with the new DLC as well, you are getting a lot of people who find their mods are out of date and popping in to say something.

I bought it bc somebody got their video on my youtube front page, thought it was cool and wish listed it, then it became half off and I saw some of the OG mech designs and I was like "dang I haven't play a good mechwarrior game since mechassault on xbox" and bought it basically on that alone.

Game is a buggy mess, but I get to shoot big guns and lots of missiles so it's worth

Have to chip in my two c-bills worth. Playing without this mod is really frustrating for me, as i can never quite tell when i need to pull back or if one more ppc will wreck my day. I have a much better awareness of my status with this mod, and the removal of one more stressor makes the difference in performance. Thanks a bunch!

@Sir Sunkruhm, oooh, that explains quite a good bit.

Thanks much for the update!

To answer your question, at least for me, Splattercat on Youtube covered Mechwarrior 5 with mods, and he's got 810k subscribers and that video from 3 weeks ago has 570k views. That probably brought in a lot more than just me (though it did bring me in, since I always wanted to like this game but didn't know they added mod support to fix their jank somewhat).

Feels weird getting all these compliments so quickly. Did something happen to the game between Arms and Rasal? Did melee really bring in a buncha dudes?

10/10, we're playable again. Thanks for keepin' up on this one!

Try un and resubscribing to force the update, works fine

Same as Krynul :(

I'm still getting crashes with armor green:

LowLevelFatalError [File:Unknown] [Line: 1308]
Failed to find function GetUserUIState in UI_Utils_C /Game/UI/UI_Utils.Default__UI_Utils_C

This is an essential mod, thanks for the upkeep. its appreciated

much needed ty

Don't normally comment, but thanks for updating. Little things like this make a huge difference. Much love.

ty firefly <3

Thanks for the update FIrefly! This mod's paper doll is so much better than the one PGI made. Glad I can add this back into my active mods now.

Thanks for the update! Let's hope i'm not waiting too long for all the others to be updated too.

Thanks for the update! Once you get a taste of this mod it's hard to go back to "1 damage = YELLOW" in vanilla.

Thanks Firefly! Your mod is so much more informative and pleasing to look at than the stock colors.
