Well, the PTS patch is updated for Sunday - it may be worth checking/parsing for the updated stuff.

Edit:
You could always do some sort of drag and drop, listing the hardpoints and location in a "pod tab". You can highlight the area affected when dragging.

When replacing pods, you should auto-remove everything in that section as needed.

Edit #2:
For the main page, list the stock builds for the clan mechs, and then put in like a "pod section" under it... that you can click on and it would expand the main page and show the current mech's current pod list...

That way, you can minimize what you show on the front page, while showing all the necessary info when the user needs it.

it looks like they took the right hand actuator off the BLR 1G but it doesnt reflect that in smurfy's

the Hand actuator is still there in the live environment

Bug. Removing Artemus changes my LRM+A ammo to LRM HALF TONS?! I didn't even know half ton ammo was going to be a thing before this happened!

Ok, i fixed some of the mentioned bugs, text typos are mostly from the game files i guess, feel free to list them, maybe its from me .

Also updated the data to todays patch.

I'm also working on the display of the clan mechs, i probably have a working version tomorrow.

single heat sink is no longer listed.

can't select them. switching from SHS to DHS and back doesn't bring it back either

thanks, pushed another update, fixed the SHS problem. Also some behind the scenes code for clan mechs. (i still exclude them on live, but the listing theoretically works),

i have still some todos for the release. (pod selection in mechlab, in mechbay and iframe the "fixed" components like engine or heatsinks are missing for clan mechs) Also a small problem with the upgrades and clan mechs but that should be easy.

Or possibly adding additional filters for mechs/gear and/or Clans/IS?

And this is live. Shiny! Thanks, smurfy!

EDIT: Wow, and you moved equipment to its own tab, too. Really much easier to use. Thanks again!

The Stalker got one slot too much occupied in one of the arms, rendering some builds in my Mechlab invalid, while in fact, they are valid.

hm, of which stalker are you talking about? can you provide me with a link to the problem build? I tested all stock loadouts of all stalkers and all look fine to me.

I'm quite interested to see your UX choice for the omnipods. I develop a mechlab as well (for Windows Phone) and I cannot make up my mind which interface to go with. As always, your site is fantastic - keep up the good work!

Hi, any chance that you could show information on the various mount positions (NOT THE SAME AS HARDPOINTS!) and what weapons will go in them?

I have a thread about this here.

[smurfynet]

Just pushed the first version with Clan Mechs, there is still some todos but i'm confident the important stuff is there.

Planned for the next days / Todos:
* Support for the toggleable armparts. currently all internals from omnipots are not displayed. i think that is only armparts which are toggleable but not 100% sure.
* List / Display of Clan mech quirks
* List all Omnipods seperate from the mech variant. (for example there is a kitfox omnipod with ecm for the right arm)
* manually collect all pricing infos of the clan mechs

This is not easy accessable in the gamefiles if at all. (my guess is somewhat in the model itself)

Bug: If a default mech does not have a weapon type, that weapon type does not become available when an omnipod that does have it is put on the mech.

Example: Load a SCR-PRIME, change one of the omnipods to one with missile slots. The selection menu to the right does not update and still only shows energy weapons.

yea, i got a similar report and after testing its quite stupid why did i not notice that i try to fix that now but i need to bed soon (already 1h late) if its easy to fix i will push an update soon, or in about 18hours

[Harathan]

On clan mechs (tested on Timberwolf) removing a weapon does not always free up the crit space.

For example, I removed the Machine Guns from the Timberwolf Prime and was unable to put it back, with no other changes made.

EDIT - bug seems to only effect some components, not all.

The amount you rock is hard to estimate.

Big +1 and a small plug: Smurfy accepts donations, though you have to look to find it (Hint: check "About"). I made a small donation yesterday. If you love the site, I recommend you do too.

I can finally get serious about looking at these! Thanks, Smurfy. You're a great asset to the community.

[smurfynet]

I currently pushing an update to fix the component filtering.

strange, not sure why this is happening, i will do some tests tomorrow. need to go to sleep now. will work on fixing bugs after work tomorrow. (~ 4pm UTC)

Edit: Another bug is that you can't remove double heatsinks from the side torsos even if they are not fixed (nva-prime) this probably happens for everything with equipment mixed with the same type of fixed equipment.
