A mod that makes the mechbay such a better place.
No idea why it isn't working for you.

I'm trying to spin them by doing everything I can think of - left button grab, right button grab, center button grab, all buttons grab, left/right)center button plus control/alt/function/shift, arrow keys...
My question is simply this - is there a method beyond simply grabbing the mech with the cursor and spinning it?
Also, is there an installation method other than putting the MechSpin-master folder in the Mods folder? I think it was installed as part of XLRP, and the rest of that mod is working.

no you just put it in mods folder like everything else.
and then the mech with yang and the mech selected in the bays can be rotated via mouse.
no clue as to why its not working for you.
maybe go get it right from github and use that instead of one that came with XLRP
Mpstark mech spin

I thought putting the mech spin into the mods folder was just a given do you have modtek installed ?
Any time I've ever had a mod not give any load error message but not work, it's been corrupt. Delete that one and drop in a fresh D/L and that might do it.
I picked up a new copy of MechSpin-master from Github and overwrote the old one in /Mods. No luck. I also grabbed Version 1.0.0 and tried that. No luck there, either.
Apologies for the "is it plugged in?" treatment but I'm running out of other ideas to help you at this point. Are you clicking off to one side of the mech and dragging back toward the center of it?
If so, look in you .modtek folder for your ModTek log file and confirm that MechSpin is loading right, then look at your output.log file ( I think it's in battletech/data ) and search for [error or exception. Those log messages might give us some hints.

I've tried every mouse move I can think of, so I should have at least blundered into a flicker of movement by now.
What am I looking for? I found a output_log file in /Data, but no ModTek folder. Ctrl-F searches for MechSpin and Spin in output_log came up empty. Mech got a lot of hits, but nothing seemed applicable.

That output log file is the main log from the game, hang on to it, search it for [error] or exception. The ModTek log is from loading up your mods, it's in BT/Mods/.modtek, search it for spin. Both will get regenerated every time you run the game, so load it up, try to spin, and exit out and hopefully any errors that happened will be at the bottom of the output log.
What is the modtek output file called? I'm not seeing one called output.
There were a few errors on the other output file, but none of them seemed related to mech spin.

Go to your mod folder you will see a folder called .modtek go in to that folder they will be a log
I have a text doc called "harmony_summary" and another called "ModTek." Neither has the word "spin" in it.
Ok, I checked that one. No mention of mechspin. I think I give up. It's not that big a deal. The game remains playable, even with the absence of spinning mechs.
Sounds like you somehow ended up with the mechspin source code instead of the compiled .dll. If I was allowed to I'd post a link for you.
