>>12918357AI slop status?
>>12918362>>>/sharty/
>>12918357I tested one at /r/mechwarrior for 2 mercs that uses only the 3dfx release which is patch 1.08 pre dynamic salvagehttps://varisgames.itch.io/mechwarrior-2-mercenaries-engine-rewrite?downloadworks fine, but open mercs is more promising
The Mercs Dx11 patch doesnt look bad, mainly if you have the repack with the HD textures, it now looks like mechassault
>>12918357>Battletech Crescent Hawks gamesMetalmercs legit started as such a project before the dev decided to make his own thing.
MW1 is a pretty interesting game, wondering how a decomp will work with something so archaic
>>12919380The game has speed issues rn as sounds on the pc98 department but the guy is fixing, plus he will check the x68000 release due to the music and soundtrack.
>>12918357>Mechwarrior 3Outstanding.It's the one Mechwarrior game i've never been able to get running stably or consistently and it's honestly my favourite of the series.The art direction was on point, the mobile field base was great, aiming weapons independently of the cockpit, actually modeled cockpits etc, MW4 was brilliant overall but it lost a lot of the more hardcore sim aspects than MW3 had and I never liked the art direction of MW4.
Mech1 is getting more updates soon
>>12918357This is so cool. I accidentally stumbled upon this enhanced renderer on Youtube but no further info and I was wondering if anyone was actively working on Mech 1 port with the classic DOS look.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92L_ptU0zko
So are there any projects to restore the unseen in mw2 mercs?
>>12923924the openmercs project will do that it seems, but spin renders are needed
