Help with ModTek

[sgtoxman]

I believe I have followed the install instructions to the best of my ability but still can't get it to work. Says it cannot find injectors. Anyone have a step by step guide or that can help me 1 on 1? Does this game have a discord?

""ModTek is a mod-loader for HBS's BattleTech PC game. It allows modders to create self-contained mods that do not over-write game files. ModTek is run at game startup and dynamically loads mods that conform to the mod.json format. Mod dependencies are resolved and load order enforced without needing to edit the VersionManifest.csv.

Since BattleTech 1.7, HBS introduced their own mod-loader, which is based on an older ModTek version. It is missing many features of newer ModTek versions, including DLC support. ""

Basically Modtek is a tool to load mods into Battletech. It is not a mod in of itself. Do you have any mods that require Modtek yet? Because if you do not, then eveything seems to be working as intended.

Well which one do you recommend. Long ago I had modtek and I could run like two lances and had clan wpns etc., available...was really fun. I'll check HBS website.

Is the Steam Library, that BattleTech is installed in, in Program Files (x86)? That can be a problem.

You should have a winhttp.dll in the same folder as BattleTech.exe

[sgtoxman]

No it's its own file, not in Program Files 86. Have to figure out how to get the mods now so Motek can access them

That sounds like a mods pack.
Either BTA 3062 (or some such), or Roguetech.

And Nexusmods.com is where you want to go. I doubt very much HBS has anything to do with modding a 7 year old game on their website.

Sounds like your trying to use the "mod manager".... Don't it hasn't been maintained in many years, didn't really work that well even when it was.

That's why it complains about not finding the injector, because the modtek injector it expects doesn't exist anymore, it was replaced with a new method for bootstrapping modtek a couple years ago

Is anyone playing with the ability to command two lances and use Clan wpns etc? That's what I'm looking for

All the major mod packs provide both those

Which mod packs? You're not talking about the DLCs right

[Jamie Wolf]

Yes, mods not DLC.

This guide is somewhat out of date now, but still covers the big 3 decently:

Edit:

I generally recommend people try BTA first as it's a good middle ground between extremes.

If you like BTA stick with it. If it's too much go to BeX, if you want even more, then RT.

going to discord and asks for help for mods for this game is the best.
