[Mod] JK_Variants 1.8.0.0 - 175+ 'Mechs and 125+ Vees, Rarity Tables, and more

[Justin Kase]

thats awesome considering i just started a 3039 campaign

and boyo does davion just LOVE those javelins on low skull missions

LOL - that they do

One note - if you are using the JK_Rarity mod as well, you will want to go into the \\BATTLETECH\Mods\Z_Sab_JK_RarityTables\ folder and delete the mod.json file, then make a copy of the mod-activate_3039_era.json file and rename it to mod.json.

That will activate the Rarity table changes for 3039 era.

It isn't a huge deal, but it will make things like the Wolfhound, Hatchetman and Banshee S more common - as well as making the Exterminator 4D extinct.

Mr. Kase,

There might be a problem, I'm getting the circle of death again

It's happened twice, once on a 1.5 star mission, this time on a .5 star mission

I'm taking a guess, which is probably wrong, but if I'm learning how to read the output log correctly, it may be a problem with the Wasp

Logs below sir,

 

[Justin Kase]

Good eve (or day, or morn - depending where you hail from) Mr Mongo!

I think I see what the issue might be, and yes, I think part of it is the WASP.

Which version of the Community Asset Bundle mod are you using ? Full install or Single Folder?

Thanks!

 

[Mongo101]

Well it's evening here (Eastern US) so Top O' the Morning to ya or good evening to yerself, as the Kase maybe ()

Single Folder sir

 

[Justin Kase]

LOL - nice

Can you try substituting in this mod.json in the single folder - I can't test this, as I am on the road, but it looks like it should work.

 

[Mongo101]

K, brother thanks for the help

Have a good one

I'll keep you updated

 

[Justin Kase]

Likewise!

 

[Mongo101]

Greetings and Salutations from the land of the Mongo's ,Mr. Kase

Alas Jk, I just got the spinning thingy again on a 1.5 star mission, no biggie and no rush...the files are below

 

[Mongo101]

It happened again, again it's no biggie and there is no rush, nor is this giving me any angst

I'm just posting these so that you can compare them

If it happens again I will post a third and final pair

 

[Mongo101]

And here is the final 3rd set, for the hat trick

If it's any help, this one happened on a 2 skull mission

Now to paraphrase those 7 vertically challenged industrious individuals that shacked up with a chick, " I owe, I owe, so off to work I go"

 

[Justin Kase]

I see one error related to the JK_VariantsCAB - please add this file to the JK_VariantsCAB/portraits

However, I also see errors with an LB-10X and SnubNose PPC - but nothing I have should be calling those.

You may want to add 'fille' weapon file for those 2 weapons then make sure none of your mechs have them armed. There is also a chance you have them saved in your Skirish section - delete all the custom lances there and any custom 'Mechs you made in the skrimish 'Mech Bay.

 

[Justin Kase]

@Mongo101
Try adding this mod folder as well - this creates 'fake' entries for those 2 weapons and 2 ammunition types to help find what 'Mech has them.

 

[Mongo101]

@Justin Kase

Wow, thanks for making something up just for me

I wonder if those weapons are in the SLDF Royals mod, believe it or not I've never used skirmish and I just completed a complete install and reinstall after deleting the Weapons Realizer and CAC as I did not like the things they did to the game.

As you see can on the mods log I'm only running the Royals stuff that goes along with your mods

I will download those files when I get home tonight

Would you like anything posted after I get those running?

Thank you once again for all of your help Justin

 

[Justin Kase]

Likely weapon realized or SLDF

 

[Mongo101]

It's got to be the Royals

I mistyped earlier, I did a complete uninstall (all the way down the to registries) when I deleted the Weapons Realizer and CAC

I then reinstalled BT and then reinstalled mods I'm using now, which are in the ModTek log

Are there any files and or logs you would like me to post?

 

[Justin Kase]

Did you also turn off the file sync in Steam? Because that has caused people problems as well

 

[Mongo101]

Yes sir I did

 

[Justin Kase]

Yes sir I did

Did those new fixes do the trick?

 

[Mongo101]

Sorry JK, work was interesting today, came home and "napped" for 6 hours

The "weird weapons" aren't showing up in the log anymore, when I get a real chance I'm going to sit down for a couple hours and go thru all the mech folders (and the chassis def) to find out which mech has those goofy weapons

The Wasp HOTD thing popped up just once. I reloaded the mission and the mission loaded, with a Wasp!!!!!, so I don't know what's going on with that. To say that confused me, is an understatement

I just want to express my gratitude for you doing all this work and helping. You are, without a doubt in my not so humble opinion, the best Modder and nicest guy in this community

 

[Justin Kase]

@Mongo101 - not a worry, just wanted to make sure it went well and you hadn't given up hope

If the error pops again, send me the logs again

Glad to help you out - we're all here to enjoy the game afterall
