I was wondering if anyone had any experience using Wine for non-windows devices to execute the community asset bundle for installation. I’m using the steam deck and wanted to import my mods and saved files that require this and Battletech Extended 3025, but I’ve not used linux based systems in a while and wanted to know how to get it find the target folder that is in my steam deck device. Can anyone help? Thankyou.

Found an interesting behavior and not certain if it is a bug or not. Even with a fully upgraded Argo, including machine shop, it does not recognize the different versions of a Longbow as the same mech chassis. Found this out when I had a 0W and two 7Q chassis, but cannot combine these to make one or the other. Slightly frustrating.

Hi sorry downloaded the mod but I am unable to actually access the Lament mech it seems sorry its kinda specific but its one of my favorites! I checked the file and see it should be there but I am not sure why I both havent been able to find it I also attempted to use the save editor to grant it but it doesn’t show up!

getting a weird error where CAB-Tanks and CAB-CU are both failing to load

I am experiencing the same error.

7

For some reason, my mod injector is not working as it should be. Unlike my previous com a windows 10 it work fine with the full command prompt display and all but when my current laptop a windows 11 it just opens the prompt and close it almost instantly. And when i run the game its vanilla only so any ways to fix this ?

9

ummm,

no ATM ammo to be found. Used to in earlier version

10

the CAB has never contained any ammo bins. the CAB is just a collection of model assets for other mods to use to add new tanks & mechs. Most likely you had another mod that used the CAB that provided ATM weapons and ammo

11

hay so i am trying to install the installer but it keeps telling me insufficient permissions and i have gone threw all the solutions can anyone help me

12

I would like to see assets for the following Combine Mechs, the Akuma, 90 tons of Kurita nastiness, and looks totally bad ass, and the No-Dachi, 70 tons of sword swinging Kurita nastiness. I just gotta thing for Kurita Mechs… Thx in advance if you should create them and add them.

Hi, my CAB failed when I ran it the first time, I was told to contact the team about it with the logs. How do I go about that?

Im searching for a way to;

  1. extend the total number of deployable lances beyond 2 (utilizing bigger drops/mission control)

  2. increase total number of enemy lances that spawn on any given mission.

Someone pointed me to CAB (specifically CU). Is that a functionality in CU and if so, where do i find or add it?

Hi!

Trying to install CAB with BEX, but the CAB-IS cache initialization keeps freezing.

Reinstalled everything several times, still no dice. CAB installer is whitelisted everywhere.

What could be the problem here?

Mine freezes everywhere, it doesn’t matter where the installer is. In c drive or in program files.

It’s just a messy installer period, 2 hours in and i’m still nowhere near done.

Can we please just download a folder with the files, having a installer is totally not needed.

I rather download 100gb than use this installer again, a lot faster too.

17

Sorry, but install speed is entirely driven by your internet speed, nothing we can do to make it faster.

As for offering an installer less version, myself and the larger CAB team have no interest in doing so, we did in the past and got a lot of shit for it when people either screwed up the install, or that they had to download everything again for a new or updated model. The installer is a one time pain as it allows you to only need to download what is new rather than the whole thing again

19

First, my thanks for all the work that you modders put in. It is very much appreciated.
Next, I’m trying to install CAB as part of Battletech BEX. I’ve run the vanilla before with a few mods, and did have CAB installed and running well. However, I’m trying to install it again for a new install and while it appears to install OK, it will not complete the “Update CAB” process. The error message notes some “logs” but I have no idea where they are or what to do with them (modding is not one of my skills). Any advise/suggestions on actions to take next?

20

Got an Error where the CAB installer failed to update. It said to report this to the maintainers, but gave no specific link of where to send it. Attached is the logs.
ModLogs.zip (19.9 KB)

21

I am also erroring out on install. Not sure if this is the right forum, or if I should be reporting it to the BEX thread. Logs attached.

I’ve tried the install twice now and checked the “Correct Corrupt Files” option the second time, but it gave the same generic error message and offered me the logs.

Really appreciate the work on the installer.

Found the issue. Moved Mod folder directly into games Battletech folder and added redirect file as directed by Mod .pdf in the base game.
