Right Now I started using Yet Another Dang Mech which adds many new mechs
It also adds a ton of unwanted stealth mechs that you can't target or see in arena
Which is super annoying, This mod can really helped me blacklist those mechs.

Prevents both as both use the intro date
DrakoMT 8 Nov, 2024 @ 2:50am 
Question:
Does this prevent spawning in the map but not spawning mechs in shops right?
OldPayphone 7 Nov, 2024 @ 3:43pm 
Dang, that must be it. Guess I will have to turn that off. Thanks.
TePª  [author] 7 Nov, 2024 @ 3:30pm 
hmm, do you have the 1999 cheat option enabled in yaml? that makes this not do anything because it overwrites the changes
OldPayphone 7 Nov, 2024 @ 10:38am 
That's what I've been doing unfortunately. I have been jumping more than 5+ jumps with it taking 60+ days there and back and still the mechs are spawning for me.
TePª  [author] 7 Nov, 2024 @ 10:27am 
You need to refresh your missions after making any changes; travel 5 jumps / 42 days away to do it
OldPayphone 7 Nov, 2024 @ 10:23am 
Mod isn't working. I disable the mechs I no longer wish to see and then I load into a mission and they are there still.
WhoaJoe 7 Oct, 2024 @ 4:32pm 
That took me like an hour to fully filter my spawn list, goddamnitt
TePª  [author] 6 Oct, 2024 @ 2:56pm 
Checkmark means the mech is disabled
WhoaJoe 4 Oct, 2024 @ 10:05pm 
Just to be clear, checkmark means they will spawn?
TePª  [author] 29 Aug, 2024 @ 4:48am 
Indeed

FOR ANYONE WISHING TO KNOW HOW TO DISTRIBUTE THEIR BLACKLIST TO FRIENDS THEY PLAY WITH, OR TO HARD RESET THE BLACKLIST; THE FOLLOWING FILE LOCATION IS WHERE THE MOD STORES IT'S BLACKLIST ENTRIES!

Also, replying to my own inquiry.

AppData\Local\MW5Mercs\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor > Game.ini

This file holds the mods blacklisted mechs.
NekoJess 29 Aug, 2024 @ 12:34am 
Is there a means of distributing a file with all disabled spawns to players, or is the host the only one who needs to do the settings?
krev 14 Jul, 2024 @ 4:22pm 
If you're using the MechAssault mechs, anything that has multiple clusters of clan machineguns is a vicious bastard that will shred your machine. The MA Blood Asp comes to mind.
Bjardok 4 Jul, 2024 @ 6:40am 
Do anyone have a personal list of 'mechs that they recommend removing.
From mods like Clan Invasion with broken textures, OP or questionable designs?
That would be very much appreciated!
TePª  [author] 2 Jul, 2024 @ 4:25am 
If you can figure out what the broken unitcard it attempts to spawn is, yes
Tenno 1 Jul, 2024 @ 10:17pm 
Would this work as a fix to broken coyote mission spawns that hang indefinitely in mission types like battleground?
TePª  [author] 1 Jul, 2024 @ 12:33pm 
No, as making such listing for equipment will break engine-side limitations on the UI
Bjardok 1 Jul, 2024 @ 4:33am 
Would you be able to make this work for equipment as well?
TePª  [author] 1 Jul, 2024 @ 2:55am 
lol yea I forgot to set the full description here too
ErikRedbeard 30 Jun, 2024 @ 10:24pm 
@TheRedHawk97
Ah thanks, that answers both my questions.
TheRedHawk97 30 Jun, 2024 @ 3:23pm 
@ErikRedBeard It looks like it just changes the intro date of the mech to 9999. So if you already got it, you still keep it
ErikRedbeard 30 Jun, 2024 @ 2:02am 
Would this also prevent them from spawning in the mech stores?

And what would happen if one already owns one of the disabled mechs? (I assume any owned ones are fine).
