It would be cool if there was an option to color-code the lancemate icons. It can be a bit hard to tell who is who when they're clustered together, and the pips above aren't always easy to make out.

Can't get this to work. I press B, the map comes up, but I have no mouse control.

Works for me. Right click on map.

This mod sounds very interesting in concept, but after installing it, it doesn't appear to work. While I can select lace mates on the battle grid, no action can be taken with them. for example, after selecting a lance mate, I am unable to command them to move to a location or to attack a target.

ok i loaded this mod but how do you get the mouse icon to activate on grid map so you can select lance mates?

Just stumbled apon this today. I am thrilled, Ive wanted this in MW5 for so long and now I have it. Amazing, it makes such a difference

@Warrof @hesto2 I confirm it works on steam deck. I've just configured the right trackpad to act like a mouse and click is LMB, whereas left trackpad is RMB. it works very well for me.

Sadly, something seems to have made this mod not work anymore. I cannot get my lance to move around. It is locked to where I am looking when I open my grid. If I am looking up into the sky and issue an order, they just say they cant go there. Any help would be appreciated. took a break from the game and came back to it not working. Thanks

This is really good stuff, thanks a lot

This is not working for me, bringing up the map shows no curser

Does it work with Better Lance Mate Status?

Is there a way to deactivate the "attack things not on the map" feautre? I'm constantly trying to tell my lance to move somewhere but they say "I can't attack that target" instead, because there's something there I didn't know about. Maybe put the two commands on different buttons or something?

it does work with vonHUD since it just replaces the battle map, but its a little small. Also I apparently having torso centering active (as in pressing c) and having the battle map open then turning left or right the torso does not follow the legs

does this work with vonhud?

Second Emiliorth's request, vonHUD is not optional. Thanks for the work!

@hesto2 odd, I only encountered it one time. It worked again on succeeding missions, must have been specific to that DLC campaign mission, I forgot which one, but I'll look into it some more on my next replay.

Hi, is it possible to make this mod work with vonHud?

@Cursed Hawkins, it looks like dlc 6 had some unexpected changes in a hook I was using which caused this behavior on occasion. I just pushed out an update and would love to know if it resolved your issue!

@SirDiesAlot29 it should work. Your friend won't be able to use the battle grid, but aside from that it is just a shortcut for issuing lance orders so it shouldn't have any network issues. Let me know if I'm wrong though 🙏

@OmnesInterficere, Sorry to hear that! I haven't heard any other reports in this area so I'm hoping it is a mod conflict. If you want to DM me on discord or something (same username) then I could take a look at your mod load order and provide suggestions!

What happened with the mod? Now its only working with the minimap meaning if you want to shoot you need to have the map open as the mod no longer works there.

was working a few days ago. logged back in to continue my Rasalhague campaign but now the battlegrid orders don't work. unable to select allies and designate targets and locations.

Is there any chance this mod works with crossplay?

Thats awesome thank you very much!

@ahedgcoth, it sure does!

Does this mod work for DLC6

Hrm... I'd love if this battlegrid has some grid to it, square personally :)

Controller support doesn't work for it, unfortunately, so I wouldn't expect the Steam Deck to work well with it. If you try it and discover otherwise, I'd love to know!

Is this compatible with steam deck?

Hey Man! Thank you for this work. That is, what i am waiting for. Great. Works perfect for me.

Thank you for this! the only thing could be better is if you're using the f1-4 keys to select the units, it should press f5 to cancel after. if you forget it then it is trying to issue an order to the same unit instead of selecting the next. minor issue though.

They aren't per se, you can let it override vonHUD, and only things you lose is the hexgrid on battlemap (or any other modded grid you might be using), and if you use the round minimap you might have this go back to being square (though not sure about this).

seconding @Coggernaut - Also using vonHud, really want to use this mod, if they're mutually exclusive that would suck.

Have you've been able to make Vonhud and BattleGridOrders compatible? I tried moving load lorder, but it seesm to be one or the other... if you had a labeled grid-system by default... then everything would be smooth. That's the only thing missing

Excellent to see you respond to general comments! cheers.
I still get the odd AI behaviour, but i can no long play the game without this mod despite the 2 quirks.

@ Cursed Hawkins
If a question arises, then there is a reason. However, thanks for the clarification.

@Fuhrer
Those dots represent the position in the lance they are
two dots-Lancemate 2
three dots-Lancemate 3
etc.
Also the Thumbnail SHOWS the icons with the dots you're referring too so why ask if they were apart of the base game? The only dots that are in the base game are what are used to represent the weight class of the mech WHICH NONE HAVE FOUR DOTS.

I have an idea! Can this mod work in conjunction with airstrike? By default, it is also aimed only through line of sight, but it would be convenient to use it with the help of a map.)

I'm talking about the dots that you can literally see in your screenshot here. Two dots, three dots, four dots...
I haven’t been to the game for a long time and decided to ask, just to be on the safe side, whether they are part of the mod or if it’s something that’s in the game by default.)

Possibility of options would be useful. I'll wait for news.)

@Fuhrer, any chance you could send me a link to a screenshot showing the icons you mentioned? As for the selection menu changes, I've had people giving feedback on both sides of wanting it to deselect after issuing orders etc. I'm probably going to add a mod option soon where you can configure it to your liking

I also noticed one strange thing. In your demo video, as you select a group member and give him an order, the orders menu automatically switches to the selection of orders and the list of members, but for some reason this does not happen for me and I have to constantly manually return the menu to the list of members.
[sorry my bad english... >_<"]

I just recently re-entered the game and noticed these square dots near the mech icons on the map. What do they mean? Are they somehow related to this mod or is this some kind of change in the game? =-=
Is this done by a mod to indicate that orders are tied to specific team members?

Can you try to send me a screenshot next time this happens? I'm trying to track down why this happens on certain maps. I've run into it when you spawn near the edge of really small maps occasionally

So the desync seems to have returned to this mod, only this time it seems to happen even during missions not just when you switch map sizes.

THIS is the thing that I always wated to have, splendid work!

I can certainly try! I'll add it to the list 👍

There is a mod that lets you issue pings (for example for coop players). Would you be able to implement that as well, so one could set waypoints and so forth?

hesto i just uninstall the mod since is just for aesthetic anyway, your mod is funtionaly better.

Perfect, Von and I are looking to collaborate soon to make our mods mor compatible 🔥🔥

@hesto2 i think vonHUD

@monstervilla, is this grid added by another mod? I've seen since people have success with changing the load order. If you let me know which mod, I can check it out and see if there is anything I can do to make it on top 👍

@mugsy, that's interesting behavior 🤔 this mod doesn't actually touch any of the AI thankfully. It just uses the map instead of your cursor to pick which coordinates to move or attack (same as if you did F1 or F3). I'll keep an eye out for this though, thank you for raising!
