Going to necro this thread to get some minds on it.
Issue:
Combat Message Publishing doesn't seem to be picking up when turndirector is outside of combat.

Actions:
Have attempted to patch CombatHUDMechTray.OnActivationComplete
This Fires and updates the mechs heat correctly but even after calling a HUD update it doesn't show on the CombatHUDHeatMeter.

The Unofficial BattleTech Patch does in fact cool down the mech however there is a visual bug which we are still working on. Welcome to suggestions.
We've tried calling the following without success on the visual bug.
- CombatHUDMechTray.Update()
- CombatHUDHeatMeter.RefreshHeatInfo()
- CombatHUDHeatMeter.UpdateHeat()

Greetings.

Please don't necro old support posts to discuss how to make changes to the game. Instead, perhaps try making a thread in the modding subsection, to discuss such changes (it can even be about multiple topics if needed, but no unapproved links).

If you do have a support request do feel free to create a thread in this subsection to report any issue(s) you may have.

Locking Thread.
