Patches and Updates:
This is where to find the basic necessities to play MechWarrior 3 online. First and foremost is the 1.2 Patch which was the latest point release from Microprose. Expect the usual compatibility issues for unpatched games. Next on the list is to install popular multiplayer maps. This isn’t a mandatory download but it will increase the number of games available for participation as each host will have thier own preferences. Finally, we have archived a no-cd patch that was created back in the early 2000. This is purely for convenience as most people like to keep thier CD-ROM free for burning sessions.
MW3 Enhancements:
These are exclusive downloads developed by our resident programmer, Finnigan Mccool. Create or manage custom maps. Create new custom skins. Remove the cockpit overlay for a HUD only view. It’s all here for the taking.
Texture Library
We have extracted every texture image used in MechWarrior 3 and made them available for downloading. However, only the Mech textures are customizable since there is no utility yet available to import anything else. The procedure (typically) to create new skins involves downloading a skinset, editing the images but keeping the dimensions and filenames intact, and importing them using Finn’s MechTexturizer or MekTek’s Texman Utility. Please note that since MechWarrior 3 is not server/client based over the internet… other players can not see custom skins unless they too have them installed. Also hosted in this section are custom skinsets from several Community Texture Artists.
3D Models:
Low poly 3D models of MechWarrior 3 battlemechs that can be printed and assembled from paper cardstock. Also available are other in-game objects such as gun placements, buildings and Mobile Field Bases. Contact the 3D Modelers for custom projects or feel free to collaborate with ongoing projects. Visit our forums for more information.
