Mercs Stock Decals List. |
| It is not common knowledge but sometime ago Ash figured out how to change a bots Decals and thus make truely custom missions not only possible to realistic. Today you can have the bots carry the decals for any clan or faction in Battletech that has a decal in mercs already. In this document we will list all the decals and show you how its done. |
| Changing a bots decal. |
| In your mymission.contents file found in your content/missions/yourmission folder, you will see something like this listed for the bots you placed on your map. |

If you look near the bottom you will see 2 lines. TeamDecal and Pilot Decal. Both of which are set to 62 in this example.By changing these lines you can change the decal that appears on the mech. All you need now is a list of decals numbers and the Decal image that goes with it :) |
