Oh, I think we did alright on the PvP battles.

I wonder if Frey's head still hurts from that DFA shot I hit him with!

Got the stick working again also....

Are you on drugs again? When did you do a DFA on me last night?

I think you are just dreaming again, Bear !!!

Just got bak on and bounced off.
Maybe I'm downloading to much atm? Too much bandwith????
Would that effect it?

Shouldn't, we saw you join then leave

Try creating another account ?

Or just joining with the generic logon?

#1 You are crazy, Bear. That's been a given fact for quite some time.

#2 I marked this day onna calendar. Hexx and I agree. Weird. DFA is when you jump up, then land on top of a mech.

No shooting.

You were talking about a HEAD SHOT, which is a cockpit shot, and you did hit me good with a HS in that 2v2 game we did.

Come to think of it, Kruge did too, that evil bastich!!!

Me and t00l playing MW now - all welcomed to join on D.Net teamspeak!

Hope you guys are still playing when I get off of work. That will be around 12:00 am central time. This time I will get a bigger Mech. I didn't realize that when you go to the mechlab your mech is changed from the one I had picked. Been sometime since I played this game.

First, make sure you have the MicroSoft patch, PR-1 from their official site:
http://www.microsoft.com/games/mw4mercs/
Then to the MekTek site;

Go to the downloads area..to Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries...then to Merc Expansion packs...then download this one:
MekPak PR1 to MP2.1a - English
Description: Updates from Microsoft's PR1 patch to MekTek's MP2.1a. English versions only.
Version: 1 Filesize: 1 bytes
Added on: 06-Nov-2004 Downloads: 41352 Rating: 7.4 (7 Votes)
HomePage | Rate Resource | Details | Editorial

Then go back to the main page of MekTek, there you'll see a link to download the MP 3.

I also got these Maps from the "Maps" aera: Maps - MS Official (11)
Maps - Mercs - MekTek ( 8 )
Maps - Mercs - Converted Veng/BK (19)

From the New BattleFields site, I just got the Full installer, which has a bunch of maps and missions lumped together.
The Co-Op missions are excellent!

And We're using the Dynavers.net teamspeak server (teamspeak.dynaverse.net, pw is sfcrulz), you'll see the MechWarrior room.

ok, got everything on the list except the official MS factory map. Can you post a link ?? Also do I need the BK terrain installer to get the BK map pak installed ?? I can't find it, post a link to it if I need it.

Thanks,

KBFLordKrueg · « **Reply #109 on:** November 14, 2005, 04:42:09 pm »

Ok, here is the link to the MS official maps:
http://www.mektek.net/download.php?op=viewsdownload&sid=19&orderby=dateD
Here's the link for the BK downloads, just follow the instructions.
http://www.mektek.net/downloads/mw4/maps/mercmaps/vbkconv.htm
*NOTE*
Note: IF you don't have BK, click on the links below to download the required terrain. You MUST first copy these files to a temporary folder. DO NOT placed in your Mercs/resource/maps folder. Rather, you must run the BK Terrain installer and specify the temporary folder as the source of the terrain files. The terrain installer will copy the files to your Mercs/resource/maps folder and then apply the rquired patch in order for these terrains to work in Mercs! Also, keep in mind these are big files (up to 25 MB), and you shouldn't download them unless you don't have access to the terrain files otherwise!

You WILL need to do that to get the BK maps, if you don't already have BK.
If you want to wait, NP...there are a lot of files to download if you don't already have BK. And that's only about 12-15 maps, easy to choose one of the many others.

If you've got the MP 3 patch and the NewBattleFields full installer, you're good to go!
Let's do some of the Co-Op missions and we'll get your feet wet.

Hexx, comon, you should come too.

Yeah first time out had to babysit t00l & Frey, I'll help you guys
beat the big bad AI agin if anyone's playing tonight.

k, im up, I couldn't get the factory as both links are down. 89% of the NB pack installed before it exited 'NB cerberus map bad checksum' and said I had to rerun the patch to get the full install. I think the installer is corrupt, but maybe I got enough to play till I figure out what I'm still missing. I'll be on later.

Well, hmm..not sure about the NB problem. I know it's a PITA, but, you ay have to re-download it. Those 3 icons there are 3 different mirrior sites, so you may need to use another one.
Did you try simply re-installing it?

762_XC · « **Reply #113 on:** November 14, 2005, 11:49:16 pm »

Double-check the size of the NB-complete.exe file you downloaded. It should be 194 MB.

The first time I d/led it it was like 99 megs, and obviously didn't install right. Stoneyface had the same problem. I think one of those mirrors is bad.

If the size is wrong you can get it from XC's site.

Greetings all:
Happy turkey-day,
Now that I've got all these mods properly installed I noticed when I play a campaign- in the mechlab my mechs (and in the free markets) all the mech icons (and prices in free markets) don't match the descriptions when I put the mouse cursor over the mechs. ex. - in mechlab my hellhound's description call's it a madcat, and If I try to buy a hellhound the cost is aprox 5 mill c-bills but it's described as a Templar.

Is this normal with MP3 ??

Also, is there a way to import the 'pirates moon' campaigns and maps into Mercs ??

Almost forgot: anywhere else they play mercs ?? GSA is always empty of merc players as is KALI and I have no idea what other game services exist.

KBFLordKrueg · « **Reply #115 on:** November 24, 2005, 01:31:04 pm »

Unknown about your issues with the mech descriptions.
Maybe check these forums for bug info.
http://www.mektek.net/forums/index.php?s=0639fdbd4d51d346b56c37793d669799&act=SF&f=30
Also with a little searching on those forums, you'll find the thread on how to bring the MP3 mechs into the single player campaign.

For the multi-player, use the "Zone Match" option under the Options-multiplayer setup. There you'll find dozens of permanent servers. Careful of ones that have large numbers of players with the same Clan Tags in their name. They usually work together well and if you're on the other side is a good way to die a lot...

Tool, Frey, Stony, myself and several other also play MW4 mercs in IP games frequently, usually using the Co-Op missions available from the NewBattlefields site (located in another post on this thread). Look for players in the MW4 rooms on the Dnet TeamSpeak server and I'm sure you can get in on some.

FA Frey XC · « **Reply #116 on:** November 25, 2005, 08:50:42 am »

Malak, if you are referring to the single player game, I don' think the MP3 stuff is perfectly compatible with single player campaigns.

Yep, it's in single player mode. I've not played mercs online yet (ever) so I'm not up on this multiplayer stuff.

I've tried that but getting the IP is next to impossible as my mic is dead in TS and nobody looks at the TS server screen between games. I've spent hours in the last couple of weeks waiting for an invite or a mention of the IP to play mercs and never hear neither so I've given up.

The one time I actually got the IP number (Frey's game) when I got into the game, I was promptly booted.

762_XC · « **Reply #118 on:** November 25, 2005, 09:31:26 am »

It does work, sort of. I just finished a single player campaign with several MP3 mechs.

The only way to get the mechs in campaign is through the Free Market. Each new MP3 mech has an equivalent chassis in Mercs (which I assume it was modded off of). For instance, the Pitbull is based off the Mad Cat.

Here is a link to a forum posting that lists all the known equivalent chassis.

Getting the mechs through Free Market is a 4 step process:

1) Identify the equivalent chassis of the mech you want to buy. For instance if you want a Pitbull, you are really looking for the Mad Cat.

2) Buy up ALL of the Mad Cats in the FM.

3) Sell one or more back to the FM.

4) Buy one or more back again. At this point (the second time you buy) you are actually buying Pitbulls, but the avatar will still show Mad Cat. However when you look for it in mechlab you will see you actually now have a Pitbull.

This is the only way to get the new mechs. The only way to get the new weapons is to buy one of the new mechs, then strip off whatever weps come with it.

The side effect of all this is that the mech descriptions in Free Market are all screwed up as you saw.

Malak, you were probably booted because no one recognized your name. Do yourself a favor and pick up a $10 headset at Radio Shack.
