This is the final version 4.2 patch for all v4.0 & 4.1 users. MechCommander Darkest Hours is a finished project now. No further development - the most stable, bugfree and excessive extended basic game version backbone folder v1.8 - that ever existed. You shouldn't leave out this gem!
"Strive toward it, for it is the Way.
Said our Founders, Nicholas.
Be ever vigilant
And rely on your strength:
Faith, which preserves us;
Knowledge, which gives us power;
Understanding, which us lets face the darkness without fear."

HE DID IT AGAIN!
April - 2020
Yes... after April 2017 (v2.0), X-mas 2017 (v3.0),
April 2018 (v3.3) ,X-mas 2018 (v4.0) and...
April 2019 (v4.1) - X-Mas 2019 was a bad time for MechCommanders. On december 2019 i was very busy in business and i stopped my development 2019 due to some things that happened with a certain member of the community - that repeatedly offended my work without being interrupted or any support by NGNG hosters. After i officially left NGNG and quit with SeanLang i was - one day - certainly IP banned from their webpage. I couldn't login anymore and got a permaban screen without any further notices. I could still visit the page but some months later the webpage itself vanished. Somehow 99% of all remaining MC 1 content in the internet got lost over night. Since then many people contacted me for alternate pages showing the content i released on NoGutsNoGalaxy - but any link i could refer to was leading to NGNG twitch now instead of readable forum content and information for players.
NOW! During the worst disease that mankind seems to have to master those days - i decided to help keeping people at home. What can you enjoy the most when you are at home - maybe when you even not have a permanent or stable internet connection? - MECH COMMANDER! - right! - MechCommander offers a huge load of fun and has an isometric 2D lovely detailed C&C style ingame graphics that are well aged over the years. Still - even 22 years after it has been released for the first time - it is one of the best and my absolute favorite RTS games without any base-building ever. X-Com style unit control in real time - absolutely delightful. You are playing my rematered MechCommander Gold - Darkest Hours Free Standalone Edition (developed 2016-2020). Final version number release is TODAY! There will be no further updates neither any further development of this built. This built is the most perfect and bugfree existing MechCommander standalone, that exists. I wish all MechCommanders a happy eastern and:
#StayHome
RizZ note (April, 12th, 2020): I have replaced the 4.0 version built with an upgraded version that contains the last official patch and some additional minor cosmetic fixes. People who have downloaded v4.0 previously don't need to download the fullversion again. You find the download link for a 4.2 patch above. The 4.2 patch although contains it's previous version 4.1 - so no need to ask for that one anymore.
AS A CONSEQUENCE i deleted SeanLang from NGNG out of MechCommander ("quit pro quo - CLARICE!"). He let MC fallen apart by deleting the webforum and my content. Therefore you are out of MechCommander. In savegames the name "SEAN" will persist when he is already existing in your savegame's mechbays - but the profile pictures, descriptions and nameplates got changed and are showing the new spiritual hoster of MechCommander - Ace hunt / timberwolf - from everythingbattletech.com - a new upcoming battletech lore & kickstarter community place that is A MUST for BT fans of the genre.
By the way - the modDB MC information guide content will be mirrored to hardlight-productions & everythingbattletech by long term (partner sites). MechCommander never dies - even if - it revives!
You want to be partner, mirroring MC information & content? Just sign up your webpage and contact me here on modDB!
Have fun MechCommanders, that's an order!
Regards RizZ"
THANK YOU Kind Sir :) :) :) :)
You're welcome!
I thank YOU for the interest on my modwork. I hope you enjoy this stuff.
Usually this was not planned - but i have to announce one more final update this wonderful built will get. This update will implement unique and brandnew voice packs for customermade MechWarriors.
Prepare and get ready for the final MCGDH v4.3 release.

How do i install this?
I put the content into my MCX file.....then what?
Nevermind....it runs.
Yeah, exactly that way. Content of the download just needs to be put into your game folder - overriding the original files. Then just start and play / enjoy the game.
