It has not. WHen I went to go do that, I wasn't able to find my original emblem PSD file. I'm sure its here on my computer somewhere, but I still haven't been able to find it... and the thought of having to do them all from scratch again has been daunting. Especially since I have two or three major projects (in other domains) that I've been prioritizing.

So no... and it may, unfortunately, never happen. But I haven't forgotten about it.

did that second pass gold-plate version ever get done?

Just took a look around in the mod - Fire Mandril is in there, just somehow forgot to get the image in here. I lost that PSD file a long time ago, however, so it would be more of a pain then it's worth to recreate it just for a quick screenshot to match the rest.

ALL Clan Emblems are in the mod, to the best of my knowledge.

Looks like I may have missed them for the pictures above, but I know I did the emblem. I'll check a couple things to verify - theirs is one I remember in particular because of how many pieces there were to trace out. ;)

Fire Mandrill emblem is not present rn?

I went from Exosquad to Mech 2/GBL/Mercs, Mech Commander and on. Mech 2 Mercs soundtrack is the best, bar none.

Phoenix Hawk needed to go, I agree. The Maurader IIC was one of my favorites, as well as the Rifleman. Then again, my intro to the universe was MW 1 back in the late 80s. Anyhow...

Yeah mate, I am well aware of the whole mess with Harmony Gold, licensing rights and all the many sources that BT pulled its original designs from [Macross, Crusher Joe, Dougram, etc]. Personally, I really like a lot of the redesigns, as I'm more of a fan of "walking tanks" and less of zippy gundams. I'm not harshing Exosquad, it was a great show that covered mature topics, simply pointing out that I loved the BT designs they used before I knew what BT was.

Fair enough.

As a reference, then, you might also want to see what BT ripped straight from RoboTech as well - specially, look at the original Maurauder IIC design (Zentradi Officer Battle Pod) and the original design for the Phoenix (Guardian-Mode Robotech Fighter) specifically, though I think some of the other early ones were also ripped.

What's good for the goose, I suppose...

BattleTech is my favorite universe, has been since before I even knew it existed [watching Exosquad as a kid without knowing that some of the suit designs were ripped straight from BT]. I'm always down for more BT in games. Maybe someday we'll get a proper grand strat BT video game, but until then, that's what mods are for!

Somehow. ;)

Good to know there is still interest in this.

Yeah, it is what it is. If it happens, cool, if not, somehow I will survive.

Matter of having time. I'm knee deep in UBOAT right now, along with a long-play RP playthrough (with video) of Skyrim, play the rest of the normal day to day stuff. I would literally have to recreate all of these from scratch... which, while not as prohibitive as doing the same to my Warhammer mod would be, is still a lot of time I'd need to dedicate to it.

Indeed it is. :D

I like the idea of the BT emblems in something more akin to the emblems in game, based off your earlier post indicating you may come back to these and redo them not in color. That would be rad.

Is a word.

WOLVERINES!

that makes sense, all the other icons are cold and the color doesn't matter to much given that none of the galaxy map icons are in any color but white

Glad you enjoy. At some point in the future, I still hope to come back to this... thing is, though, it likely won't be in color that time around, so...

fair enough, thought i'd point it out on the off chance you might consider adding them in but either way having wolf in standard is cool i just realized the gray of exile would of gone better with the colors of a nation i was making and then realized they weren't there. Anyway this is still fun to have.

The emblems, honestly, shouldn't have been done in color... which I only figured out after I did this entire set.

Even so, as you've pointed out, I haven't done anything with this is several years now. I played with the idea of redoing this one in the standard gold setup, but I have too many other projects in other games (plus I'm in a completely different career now than I was back then) and not near enough time. I don't see any doing anything about it, I'm afraid. Back then, I likely could have been convinced, but now it's just not enough to warrant the time it would take.

i think it works for different color combinations.

I decided against including Wolf In Exile back when I was working this mod because there was no substantive difference between them and Clan Wolf. Basically the same reason I don't have both versions of the Scorpion., though I did at one point.

I know it's been a bit sense this mod was touched But as i was using it for a new nation i realized something was missing. Clan wolf in exile. When it wasn't in clan i thought it might be in sphere, nope, nowhere to be seen.

Updated for 3.1 "Lem".

Here to support - I'm finishing up the last of a bunch of Emblems for WH40K, and once that's done I'm hoping to revisit this mod to redo them all in the gold-emblem style used by the main game. That MAY end up being a new mod altogether... I haven't decided whether I'll be replacing these or just going to the side with it.

Thanks man, now i can restore the TRUE Free
Raselhauge Republic

Updated for Nemesis and 3.0.

I love how they named the update in such a way that it will automatically be censored by Steam. GG, Paradox. ;)

Updated for the 2.7 Wells release.

Thanks

Update as requested.

As this is graphical only, it will still work. I'll make the changes to the files needed and reupload soon... not like we don't all suddenly have a BIT more time on our hands.

Please Update?

Updated for 2.5... as usual, no content changes.

Great mod thanks for the work.

Updated for the new launcher, patch version 2.4.* and Lee Update.

From a technical standpoint, it's still fine despite the red triangle of Old Moddage (or whatever has replaced it with the new launcher). I'll look into a quick version number update when I have a chance tomorrow.

If you mean content wise, I've been toying with the idea of redoing a lot of these... mostly so that the Galaxy Map versions work/look a bit better. That would mean a complete remake of these from scratch... which I'm hesitant to do.

So short version - update for versioning purposes, yes... and should be done shortly. Update for new content/redone content, up in the air. If there were more people calling for things, I'd be more likely to come back to this, but between my final year of college and making sure the family is taken care of, time is at a premium.

Will there be another update?

Updated for Stellaris 2.3 and the Wolfe Update.

For those coming in to check:

Yes, this mod remains compatible with the new story pack and patch update. I'll get around to a small update to remove the 'outdated' marking on it in the next few days. For now, it's not going to cause any problems to continue using it in your games.

On a side note: You aren't being a pest. You're just saying something I've been thinking for a while. I just simply have no time to devote to it at the moment.

3. I also work at the campus Veteran's Service Center. That eats up time too.

4. Also, family and teens, two of which I'm teaching to drive. 'Nuff said.

When I have some time to spare from other projects, I may do as you request... but for the moment... well, just don't hold your breath. :)

A lot of the galactic emblems weren't really designed for details - only general outlines. I've considered doing a new pass on all of these to fix things like that, but there are a couple of other considerations I have to keep in focus as well. Just for clarity, let me give you an idea.

1. Many of the current versions would have to be redone from scratch because of the way I originally created them. Not overly hard (the rate I spat them out originally should show that), but it would be time consuming.

2. I'm currently full-time at college (yes, even in the summer), and my HW this semester (and likely until I graduate in two years) is a bit more intensive than it was when I started this project before I retired from the Navy.

Thank You, and I don't want to be a pest to you, but can you check some of you other emblems to make sure they are also on the galaxy map, and show every thing about them, because I use the Terran Hegamony one, and it just gave a white sun emblem and i couldn't ever make out the fist.

Posted an update that fixes the issue. The filename had an extra 'r' in it that it shouldn't have. Should be good now.

I'll take a look. Thanks for the report.

Try to fix the Star League Emblem because its not showing up in the galaxy map!?

Thank you so much for this.

The last of the planned merc groups are now in - pending any other requests, I don't see any more huge additions to the mod, and so consider it (provisionally) complete. Again. We'll see what happens, I guess. Thanks all for the encouragement and kind words.

Well... I suppose I could take the Arrano Restoration from BATTLETECH and throw that it. Given that the game is by the original creators, that's about as cannon as it gets I think. I may look into that after I finish the last three merc groups in the next few days.

But if that really is all the IS States, then there's nothing for it. *shrug*

@Shadriss That is cool that this is relaxing for you. Oon the Inner Sphere note I can see what you mean. It looks to me that you have covered the lot of the Inner Sphere States for the 3025 - 3075 timeline. You have the Great House's and the Periphery States all accounted for by my knowledge currently as I am aware of. Hmmm, I can only think of other factions from the Mech Warrior Dark Age time line that you could add. For example, The Republic Of The Sphere, and Clan Steel Wolf. Or adding the Terran Hegemony emblem from the 2315 - 2767 time line. Those are a few I can think of at the moment.
