Hello.

I know it has to be possible, but I haven't figured it out yet, and it's driving me crazy.

How can I add a mech and mech parts to the system stores?

This is a created mech, not an edited mech, by the way.

Thanks for any help.

You should be able get them into skirmish (I haven't tried it yet):

...so I suspect there's a .json file for the mechs included in the campaign, I'm going to have a look at the ~\BATTLETECH\BattleTech_Data\StreamingAssets\data\simGameConstants folder when I get a chance, seems a good a place as any to start

Thanks.

That's the same place I went to before posting help.
The whole Step 3 seemed a bit much, and the instructions kept mentioning BETA, which I'm not sure is completely the same as release.

I'll keep looking for a way to add MECHs into single player campaign.

Ah, it won't take long before someone figures it out

If your talking for campaign not skirmish: \Steam\steamapps\common\BATTLETECH\BattleTech_Data\StreamingAssets\data\shops
(God I love steam default file structure)
You will see a bunch javascript files, you can edit them using a text editor like notepad++ or if that structure seems to complex there are a number of dedicated json editors available that makes them easier to parse. I would guess shopdef_Mech_0 would be your best bet. That should help if your just looking to edit what mechs are available, if your looking to add new files don't forget to add the new files to VersionManifest in the data folder.

Doesnt seem to work. Changed all shops to Zeus + Atlas and still get the same as before (Locust, etc.) 😭

I have had to restart the campaign whenever I change those files to get what I want, YMMV.
