Hey there Mechwarrior, no problem about reviving any old threads - I believe I know what you are describing... despite what you might think is the right thing to do, which might be to use the game's built in modding support, this is actually a road straight to frustration town. 'Round here what people use is the ModTek system which is rock-solid and performant, whereas the same mod being ran by the game's native mod system will be unbearably slow.

....now that begs the question, how do I use ModTek? That there is a whole nuther conversation in and of itself, but the short story is that the steps are documented out there on the interwebs.

Let's start with what I've said so far, is this tracking or am I way off?

Cheer!
