I own an original and updated version of MC2, and I've downloaded the basic Carver V campaign file from this site. I want to play through the original campaign, but I want to use new mechs. I thought there was a way to add the classic reseen 3025 mechs to the game and add them by using the savegame editing techniques (like how you would add the Adder/Cougar in the original). Is there a way to do that? Again, I don't want to update the AI, etc., just be able to add/replace mechs in the original campaign.

Greetings! I've been a fan of MC2 for years and have dusted it off every so often to replay it. Your campaigns look incredible, and I look forward to trying them out, but I have a question. My sons are old enough now that they're enjoying Battletech and MechCommander as well. However, I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to bring the "unseen" mechs into the base Carver V campaign, similar to how you edit the savegame files to include the Cougar, for instance. Is there a simple patch that adds the 'mechs to the existing files, thus allowing them to be added? I ran across an old post on Dropship Command that had defunct links to files that seemed to have the mechs I was looking for, but I'll admit that I don't know where to start.

My apologies at being a noob to the modding of this wonderful, wonderful game.

Also, I'm deployed right now so it may take me a bit to answer; I'm working on this for my boys back home. Thanks in advance!
