Yet Another Equipment Collection

Description
A big collection of upgrade equipment for YetAnotherMechlab, mostly inspired by Roguetech. Now with Heat Sink Kits!

- HarJel I, II, III - Self-Repair systems. Upon taking damage they will repair armor and structure in their install location for a certain amount of time. Also they add a 1.1. armor multiplier to their install location. Install a total of 7 HarJel systems to make the entire mech self-repair. Different HarJel tiers cannot be combined, also they cannot be installed in the head (lore forbids it!).
- Patchwork T1 - T3: provide a small amount of weight in exchange for some slots. Because Patchwork is awesome.
- Modular Armor Mk1 - Mk4: Armor upgrades which add a fixed amount of armor to their installation location. Variants for rear armor are included.
- Black Carapace - Find it, cower in its presence.
- Advanced Targetting Computers - TC upgrades which weigh a ton but add considerable upgrades for different weapon systems.
- Composite Structure - Half weight but also half the structure points
- Endo-Composite Structure - 0.75 of the weight but with some bulk
- Heavy Ferro Armor - 24% more armor for 21 dynamic fillers
- Reinforced Ballistic Armor - 50% more effective against missile and ballistic attacks
- Spall Liner Armor - 15% damage reduction for all incoming damage with 15% more armor weight
- Actuators - A bunch of actuator equipment which can be installed in arm actuator slots, many being melee-focussed.
- Gyro upgrades - Melee focussed gyros
- Angel ECM
- NSS - The Null Signature System (armor upgrade) is essentially just a stacking ECM. NEEDS TESTING AND FEEDBACK.
- Battle Computers - One ton upgrades which can be installed with a "modular TC" and add different bonuses.
- Laser Insulator - Essentially an advanced single heatsink which lowers the heat output of lasers installed in the same location.
- Cockpit Hotseat - A cockpit upgrade with an integrated TSM that can be triggered via hotkey. The longer the Hotseat is active the more heat it produces.
- Exchanger and Exchanger Mk2 - very rare and very powerful heatsinks which also lower the heat output of all weapons. Explodes!
- and many more... Here is a full list: https://github.com/mw5mercs-modding/harjel/blob/master/equipment.md

Requirements
The Yet Another Equipment Collection depends on YetAnotherMechLab (YAML). It makes use of the extended equipment property system provided by YAML. In fact, the requirements I had for Harjel let me to develop the equipment properties system in the first place. See below for details.

Mod Compatibility
Now compatible with pretty much everything!
Starting with 0.16 the AbstractMech override was dropped which means it should be compatible with any mod that does not mess up YAML's DerivedMech.

Mod Recommendations
Apart from cszolee79's required mods YAML, YAW and YAWC I recommend my own stuff:
- I highly recommend my Yet Another Special Variant mod which puts all the goodies in here to use for you to encounter and salvage.
- My Yet Another HeatSink Restriction mod adds more heat sink types and heat sink kits like radical ones and protos.
- The AdvacedCareerStarts lets you start a new career in the Dark Age, customize the pilots and starting mechs. Very useful if you ever want to encounter some of the stuff in this mod.

Customization
See HarJel on GitHub for details on the implementation and customization possibilities: https://github.com/mw5mercs-modding/harjel

Acknowledgements
A big shoutout to cszolee79 for not only providing the YAML source code but also helping with so many questions and for accepting my patches.
Thanks to Shedovv for inital testing and feedback.

OH! I see.
Modular TC = FCS Modular

Where is the modular TC?

Does the Harjel repair automatically activate, or is it toggled, and if so, what hotkey is used?
BLACKcOPstRIPPa 30 Nov, 2024 @ 1:21pm 
Is this still used? or has this mod been made obsolete from the heatsink restrictions mod?

Fork of this mod - Yet Another Equipment Collection Revived (find it on nexus). Fixed some issues of original YAEC

Jump Jets-I Class I can no longer install into MAD-BARA2, is this a bug or something?

what does "cannot find" mean. Can you see it in Instant action? If you mean in the campaign please check the intro dates.

Hey question I cant find the Modular TC or Advanced Targeting computer as its called so as it stands all of the Battle computers in this mod are useless which is really frustrating is there a fix for this?

Das ist in der Tat seltsam denn auch wenn ich nicht mehr so aktiv bin so habe ich nicht aufgehört. Danke für den Hinweis.
