1.9.3.7 released
Rolled back the modtek version. Changes in merge priorities were causing not immediately evident issues, such as weapons not correctly modified by the mod. For now the safest move is to roll back rather than go through to try to correct all the potential implications.
Delete the /.modtek/ and /ModTek/ folders before updating.
I am getting this error message as well, were you able to resolve it?
I try to download the mod but it ends up not downloading and cacelling itself. Can anyone help?
Hi there. After buying Battletech at last Steam sale and completing the vanilla campaign, for the career mode I decided to try this mod, as it seemed more accessible than Roguetech. I started a career on simulation+, made a stupid mistake in my second mission costing me my Mongoose and decided to start over. Albeit I’m pretty sure I selected simulation+ again however I am not seeing the warnings about the special components being hit and destroyed. Is there a way to make sure I am actually playing in simulation+ mode? Should I start over again?
Just go to the difficulty settings. You can switch that difficulty mid campaign/career.
If not on Steam, you need to create a “mods” folder in your base game folder (the one with the .exe in it) and add everything (except the CAB files) there. Then add CAB to the base game folder (or anywhere else, as long as its NOT the mods folder).
This is a great mod and I really enjoy it above and beyond that of BTA or RT, both of which are overly complicated and seem to just mash a bunch of stuff together with no concern for lore or playability as far as stories are concerned.
That being said, is there any plan to expand BEX to include more Clan-centric playing and the Clan homeworlds? Continue the timeline into the Civil War, Jihad, and Dark Age/Republic? Create a changing map similar to BTA or RT?
Where is the ATM ammo? Clan
Long time ago in an earlier version of the mod, I could salvage ATM ammo but not any more.
just a heads up
are there any quick edits i can make to a json somewhere to add back in ammo explosions and reduce engines to 3 crits?
DUDE! (I can say that… I just had my 66th birthday on the day before Mothers Day) so, rock’n I have modded BEX to hell and gone and gotten everything to wo play nice with each other (just plugged DejaVu into it today… the AI needed some love … and some better mech builds … after what I did to it yesterday in the Solaris 7 light mechs Competition… It was ugly… no fight went more than 5 rounds. Utterly vicious! SO here what I have installed … BattletechPerformanceFix

took all week to get everything to load and play nice with each other and had to do quite a bit of tweaking and editting but I just wanted to give a big thank you for your work. BTW, “more3025Mechs” is SLDF Royals and some of my custom whack job versions of the Sandman. The mechs are from all over and a compilation several dozen folks work whic I had to go over to make it all work anyway. I’m not posting anything publicly on my modded mod as are really don’t have time to spend documenting and asking permission on bent knee’s to people my grand childrens age! (1st great grand kid due in about two months!) and I have my own views on how much actual legal rights modders have to a necessarily derivative work that they cannot legally sell anyway. The whole point of a copyrite is to keep folks from making money off what you create… but if you can’t make money off what you create… well…not to be an ass about it, but I’m not only going to be one, I’m am an OLD one. I only ego stroke folks that are chill about it. But I do try to be polite and civil about it.
Now let me get onto that ego stroking… ya know, the GOOD STUFF!
Your mod totally ROCKS! Very nice job man, very nice!
And if this all sound vagely familiar, it should! You know me from the Hyades Rim Discord (TL_Warlord_Roff)
((I am running modtek 4.0.0 as that version is absolutly needed for some of the sub mods… hopefully nothing will break because if it does… I’ll have to fix it. That what happens when you wander off map to the area maked “Here be Dragons”))
I’m a big fan of this mod and would first like to thank everyone for their great work.
Is it planned that a new version comes???
I ask this because there are many new versions of the part mods used.
For example:
++++++++
ModTek-v4.1.0 ( Injectors must not be run manually, that is now done by the ModTekPreloader automatically during the games startup.)
LootMagnet 8.0.0 (need new ModTek version 3.0+)
MissionControl-v1.5.2
IRBTModUtils-v2.0.0
DropCostPerMech-v4.1
IRTweaks-v2.2.8
BTSimpleMechAssembly-v1.2.2
PanicSystem-v4.2.0.4
Mostly fixed bugs, but also added new great features…
best regards
which ModTek version do you suggest?
This contradicts the install inductions:
Download the Community Asset Bundle Installer and run it.
Your “Install Target” will be your …BATTLETECH\Mods folder.
Your “Checkout workspace” should be located on the same harddrive.
Click “Update CAB”
What ended up working for me is to either set the community asset installer to “Legacy CABs” as installation mode, or manually download the two following two CABs and put them into the /mods folder:

IIRC I had to make the Mods folder on my Steam version, too.
I am also a huge fan of the Portrait loader. Just wasn’t feeling the stock avatars.
This mod - BattleTech Extended 3025-3061 1.9.3.7 - Doesn’t work. I will explain what I mean by that. I download the zip, I open the zip, i then copy and paste ALL of the files into the mods folder located here - D:\Steam\steamapps\common\BATTLETECH\mods - When I launch the game the modtek throws up an error saying that about 15 mods did not load correctly. If I start a game i get an infinite load every time after trying to install this mod 4 times. Yes I know it takes a while to load all the files, that is why I waited a full 10 minutes before using Alt+F4. I also was able to successfully start a game using only modtek and the CAB mod, so that confirms it is this mod causing the problem.
I have experienced the same issue - if you go to the bottom of the log file, you can spot what mods are missing dependencies and what they are called.
It is actually the CAB-modpack that is missing mod files, which in turn causes BTE to fail.
If you reopen the CAB installer, open the dropdown menu beside ‘Cab installation mode’ and choose ‘Legacy Cab’ and then update your CAB library, it should fix your issue 
@Haree78 might be an idea to add this to step 2 of installation as a workaround OR an installation troubleshoot (or maybe i missed it 
)
I’ve tried 4 times now to do as you said and each time the CAB installer failed with no reason why. I’ve included a pic of the errors I am getting at startup of the game.
If you reopen the CAB installer, open the dropdown menu beside ‘Cab installation mode’ and choose ‘Legacy Cab’ and then update your CAB library, it should fix your issue as Nissen mentions above
It didn’t, that’s why I posted the pic of the errors
