I've been having trouble getting into a mech as a sangheili, so this mod really helps. Thanks! ^^

@little jimmy, the lamia race mod already has the files this mod would add...
C0bra5  [author] 7 Nov, 2021 @ 8:06pm 
This mod was quickly cobbled together in order to allow the mentioned races to deploy into mechs. More specifically it contains animation files in the specific directory paths that the game looks into for mech deployment animations. If the game fails to find the files, it will usually result in a crash on startup or as you select the character.

When 1.3 dropped we were scrambling to fix the races mod to allow them to work again. Since a bunch of users were complaining in the #mod_dev (#modding at the time) channel on the community discord; I took in some suggestions and developed a quick fix for the requested races. This mod was developped in about 30 minutes as most of the work was just renaming and checking to make sure it got the IDs right. Most of it has never been tested as it was literally just a "quick fix" intended to reduce the amount of complaints in that channel so we could focus on fixing mods for 1.3.

All the assets are literally copy pastes of the vanilla files as we can't actually just point the game to a specific file for a given race. It looks for a file in a specific directory and if that file is missing, it just shits the bed.

This fix is dirty because it behaves as though it's the original mods, directly overriding any assets created by the original mod authors if they ever wanted to create their own assets and update the mods themselves. It's just bad development practice but since the mods that it affects were out of service it's not much of an issue. It's just usually bad practice to directly override an other mod's assets.

I agree with Dr_Shadox

RandomHoneySlime 5 May, 2018 @ 6:06pm

I've never done any modding myself So I really don't know how to check the ID. I've thought of the idea of modding but it seems really difficult.
C0bra5  [author] 20 Jan, 2018 @ 7:38am 
idk, i haven't maintain mech fixer in a while, though it just looks for the race id, so if they both use the original race id, there should not be any differences. but i'd recommend getting a newer/more complete mod as this mods is quite the dirty hack, and not something that is supposed to be final.
ZapDoggo 19 Jan, 2018 @ 2:27pm 
Which Kemono mod is this for? This one? https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1197807491&searchtext=Kemono Or the 1.5 one? (which hasn't been worked on in over a year)
Solzucht 26 Nov, 2017 @ 10:22am 
thank you for the honest lead :)
C0bra5  [author] 5 Aug, 2017 @ 8:45pm 
it was suppoed to fix old races that got broken by the addition of mechs during the 1.3 update, but to be honest this mod doesn't cover everything, i know there is a much more complete mod available on the workshop, search for "capitain chair and mech" in the workshop and you should find it
Skyfry428 5 Aug, 2017 @ 4:45pm

LionHeart 17 Jul, 2017 @ 2:52pm

Can you have a look at the old Vulpes race mod? It's my main char and it bothers me to hell not to use the mech -_-

C0bra5  [author] 9 Jun, 2017 @ 1:13pm

C0bra5  [author] 9 Jun, 2017 @ 1:11pm 
Woops that one should'n be there, it's so out dated the latest version I could find was still using the patch system
FBC 9 Jun, 2017 @ 12:52pm

MagicSonic (DavoChanChan) 9 Jun, 2017 @ 6:33am 
@C0bra5,

Do you happen to know how to fix deploy problem with Viera race too? T_T
If you do, pretty please to have a glance for people who are using Viera like me.
Geez I hope I know how to mod thing, so I can just make a quick fix myself. >O<
