Hi, sorry silly question the "kill target" command it's a cheat for untargettable units or it's a command units order?

Had this mod. Once I installed and activated the Enhanced Salvage and Repair mod, it conflicted and this one will not work while the other is active.

Very good QoL mod, very good for eyes, big tanks, huge choppers

The headlights are working from me in single player. I don't think they are mech specific. I haven't tried the thermals in MP yet, but I think since it's really a client-side mod, that you, your server, and your friends all need to have it. I could see a server not supporting in in MP, as it could be seen as a kind of cheat, and generally renders weather conditions meaningless.

Remember that the author noted above that the mod would conflict with YetAnotherMechLab. It probably also conflicts with mods that perform identical functions.

oh according to previous comments the shadows have to be set to anything but medium? weird

so for some reaosn the headlight of this mod doesn't seem to work for me in single player and the thermals don't seem to work for my co-op players is this a known issue with a fix?

the game says that this conflicts with another mod. Not sure which one, but it only became a problem after getting mech salvage mod, infantry no expense, and infantry no damage

Shadows must be set to anything except medium.

I can't get the headlights to work, but everything else seems to be working fine. Maybe one of my graphics settings is the issue?

Mod brings old good classic Thermal sensors and lights looks good.

What is "God Mode"?

how do you activate god mode????

Was there previously a version of this that had improved tooltips? Is that still available somewhere? I can't seem to find a mod anywhere that does improved tooltips while keeping everything vanilla.

i think the default loadout portion of this mod is bugged: if i deviate from the default load out on a mech example: the Orion YAJ i always drop 1 lrm10 for a srm6 and i drop the 3 large lasers for 2 ppc's 2.2 heat sink per sec heatbank II(my loadout has more heat sink damage armor etc etc then default). ppcs wep group 1, srm6 wep group 2, 2x lrm10 wep group 3 pre 3/8/2023-3/9/2023 update this build in my game avgs out at 1200~ damage post 3/8/2023-3/9/2023 update any ai i put in this mech regardless of pilot rank avgs out at 500 damage. no mods that affect AI

@cszolee79
No worries. Just thought I'd ask. =w=

I'd recommend using an Xbox controller or some other PC compatible gamepad though if you ever plan on exploring the gamepad UI. Microsoft PCs tend to not like PS4 controllers and I have to use a third-party app to make my computer think I'm playing an Xbox controller. But that's neither here nor there. =w=;

@South Williams
Uh... that'd need me to have a controller (PS4 controller?), and to override some HUD widget which almost always causes complications and incompatibilities.
I'm considering integrating the UAV and CoolShot from YAML though. Maybe the Salvage V1 as well.
Whenever I have the time...

I installed the YAML mods from Nexus mods and didn't see the heat vision options in the game. Wasn't this included in the base YAML Mechlab (or weapons?) mod? Mod order maybe? I'm going to try installing this to see if it brings my heat vision back.

The modification somehow partially affects the localization, changing some menu and settings into English, regardless of the language I have chosen. ._.

Greetings, I'm liking the lights and thermal mod in this pack.^^ Sadly I play on PS4 controller and have to keep my keyboard nearby in order to tap "L" or "PgNd" in order to activate the light and thermal.^^;

Do you think it's possible to add to this mod in a later patch to work with controllers too? The game has a hotbar menu display system but no way to alter the control scheme from the base game's options menu.^^; But if you manage to learn how the setup works, there's an empty spot where the nightvision, drone cam, and switch mech is located that you might be able to add to.

Just thought I'd pass this thought along if you're ever interested.

Think you can also get the mech volumetric rescale as well?

QOL Upgrades 2.2
Added: tiny update - runs Garbage Collection during mission at 2x the time set in Mod Options (default: 2x 10s)

Very long list. And almost no one reads descriptions anyway :D

Ah, okay no worries. One of the places I actually got the vanilla values from is the YAML page on Nexus, so could put updating the notes there on the long to-do list too :P

Oops. I thought I've fixed that.
Those were the old default vanilla values, btw (cored: 60, legged: 75, headshot: 95%). Pre-DLC something. Forgot to update the ini.
Next time.

After digging around I noticed that this mod also changes mech salvage percentages a little, such as nearly doubling the rate of mech salvage for legging (base 40% -> base 75%?). Since it materially affects gameplay, I feel like such would be worth explicitly mentioning in the mod description.

Either way cheers for your work!

Fixed that and re-added some stuff.

Thermals seem to be working well so far in limited playing. Turrets seem to have little/no heat though - is that intentional?

In short: standalone thermals and mech lights for vanilla game, a very beta of QOL_Upgrades V2

Adds some Quality Of Life changes that trickled down from Yet Another Mechlab:

V 2.0 - DLC4 compatible


Testing version for thermals!


Working:
Thermal Vision - Page Down
Mech Lights - L
Torso Counter Rotation - CapsLock
Kill Target - Ctrl-Alt-F8

Change keybinds with Bobbert's Mod Options:

having this mod active makes mechs i bring into cold storage disappear, after removing the mod my game was fixed so thats annoying as i enjoyed it but cant use it

I am trying to play through using quality of life stuff versus just using YAML as I want to try and play the game as designed but i need more stats like YAML has. This would be amazing if it gets updated.

This was a wonderful mod and beautifully titled lol. I sub'd this thread to see if its ever fixed.

I really hope the author does fix this. It was a great piece of work and it was SO much lighter and less complicated than YAML. Sigh, fingers crossed. Either way, many thanks for your time in making the mod to begin with cszolee79

Really the main thing i used from this mod was the button to queue up a work order to restore a mech to default loadout. It's frustrating that that aspect still seems to work, but other aspects of the mod that I rarely used or never used are broken and taking basic functionality with them, leaving the mod unusable.

"YAML has this and more."
so all of the things your mod does are in YAML?
I thought YAML might be too much and therefor i first installed this here, but if you would not update anymore, i guess i would have to switch to the other mod.
In any case i appreciat your mod and your work, thanks.

Report.
It looks like this mod won't works well after DLC4 update.
I got lots of help from this mod until now.
Still thank you, the mod creator.

Seems to bork the cold storage - no mechs are shown. Removing "direct sell from cold storage" feature can be a quick and dirty fix.

just do it as you can. pls

but I dont want yaml I just want this...

YAML has this and more.
Time - that is something I don't have :|

U SHOULD!

Dont be lazy pls

I probably won't ever update this.

Still kinda works

will loading loadouts require downtime during which changes are builtinto the mechs?

Would be great if the mod didn't remember the rank of weapon and instead just tried to equip whatever the highest rank of weapon the player happens to have in their inventory.

Weapon ranks screwing up being able to restore loadouts is really annoying!

Great mod regardless.

Is there any way you can make it so when you purchase mechs with a full stable they go directly into cold storage?

I'm sort-of sure I dont modify any of that in this mod.

Looks like on Campaign missions the Recommended tonnage thing is gone. Can anyone else verify this? For example i'm pretty early in the campaign on another play through and i launched a mission with a recommendation or limit or whatever at 315 and my lance was 200 i got my butt kicked and then figured it out after the fact.

1.6 Quality Of Life Upgrades
Fixed Battlemechs screen not showing popup for overflow salvaged mechs
Fixed CN9-YLW2 and BL-P-KNT2 not spawning (vanilla HeroMechsForPurchase table missing these two)

You could ping Magnum to add it :)

god i wish there was a mod that added default loadout that was compatible with merctech
