Dear Ace Freedom, thank you to share your unbelivable and shocking Info with us.

I'm really sorry that I don't have any high creative selfmade Images to share with you for free.

But you maybe happy to hear that i'm allready working on a solution. I will soon start a:

Crowdfunding campaign

I'm actual in talk with some Senior Artists, willed to create new equal looking Images for this Game!

The new Images will fit in the Battletech Universe and i got promised they also will have Helmet's and Mask's! I know a lot of you are unhappy with the actual Ingame Creatures erm Creations.

As one of the first Baker, you will not only get the new Images, you also get a special Service:

Some sexy looking Technican will come to your house and install the Mod for free!

The Goal is to get around 5.000$ and every Baker can donate from 1$ to 5$

If i can collect more then the Goal, the Baker's get some free T-Shirt too.

So stay tuned for the start of the Campaign

EVE is Battletech. Free Minmatar League, Lyran Gallente Commenwealth, Federated Caldari Suns and Daconis Amarr Combine.
And then there is Liao...but we don't talk about these....

Now seems to be a common observation.

Modding MW5 is not that easy at the Moment, i needed to programm some Tools myself to do this.
Maybe it will wen PGI release the promised "Full" Mod Support, but im sceptical that you can much with the Tools from PGI.

I managed to change some Scripts now too and create a MOD as DLC for easy install.
Will upload the new Characters as DLC Mod to NexusMod this day.
I just finished the last 25 Images for the random Pilots.

Actual i can change everything than new Missions and i did not take a look at the 3D Models for now.
Played yesterday with new Weapon Sounds, take the one from the MWO Mod and sound much better.

Hello. Good work pioneering it the MW5 mod universe!

How do you open the .uasset files? I managed to "unpack" the game's files today, but couldn't go any further.

Thank you Odanan.
I reversed the File structure of an image .uasset File and programmed a Tool to extract/change Images.

still not modding due to lack of drive space. mod tools are too big. kinda want to up my 512 gig ssd to a 2tb (i currently have 1.5tb in 2 slots, so that would double my capacity), price is starting to come down on nvme m.2 drives. i got a nas for bulk spinning disk storage but working off of it is too slow with my network. just upgraded my router, but id like to run cat6 everywhere. its also got a 2.5gig port, but my mini-itx mobo only has gigabit. a usb 3.1 ethernet dongle is an option if i can free up ports. i can move some of those to usb2, as i have an unpopulatd header on the mobo, but i would need to bore some more holes in the case to do that. its sff so its a tetris game to upgrade.
