soooo is this never going to be updated?

Please update when you can. This mod looks AMAZING! Reminds me of Coyote's Missions.

As a point of reference, because wasn't obvious, the mod on Nexus is called Orbital Drop Airstrike Replacement rather than VehicleDropAR, for those wanting to download the newer version from there.

updated on the nexus

PLEASE FIX AND UPDATE GOD I WANT IT SO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sadly, I cant get the mod to work at all with the latest DLC / patch it keeps crashing on startup where it used to run fine before.

I wish there was a mod allowing you to use full potential of your army. When i have 12 mechs and 12 pilots in garage and can only use 4 at once, it feels a bit unfair. If there was a mod allowing to deploy 4 more of your pilots it would be awesome

reinstalled to play this mod. big sad

would be cool if this mod got fixed :)

Yeah this mod causes a Fatal Error: LowLevelFatalError [File: Unknown] [Line: 3146] Could not find superStruct RecieveBeginPlay to create RecieveBeginPlay
The nexus mod works but the list of units to spawn is different.

I posted a bug on the Nexus mod page, but I will post here:

Turning on/off the Remove Initial Timer does not seem to be working. It always takes 60s before I can perform a drop.

Also, sometimes, the units I have configured to drop doesn't spawn anything. The ODAR.log file shows it finds the selections fine, but nothing spawns.

Also, what is the logic behind when you can actually negotiate for airstrikes? Do you need to be higher standing? Need higher level? I feel like 85% of the missions don't allow for airstrikes, meaning I can't spawn any extra stuff.

I also seem to always get invalid intro date for any drops.

While it doesn't conflict with any other mods, I had it loading after all the mech packs, career starter, pilot overhaul, ect, but before my art mods, vonXYZ mods (biomes, HUD, and Missions), infantry, and stack crates.

I am going to move it to the very bottom. Also going to do some other mod movement to see if I can resolve it.

I tested the nexus version and it didn't work at first (No reinforcements just normal airstrikes), probably a mod conflict don't know what it would conflict with. until I set it at or at least near the bottom of my load order in MW5 mod organizer and then the mod worked as intended hope this helps any fellow Mech Pilots!

Mod seems to be broken on the nexus though, airstrikes cant be selected on the negotiation screen anymore, making the mod unable to be used. searched every conflict zone and tested about 50+missions and nothing.

https://www.nexusmods.com/mechwarrior5mercenaries/mods/617 nexus version is up to date!

The absolute best mod there is. But currently crashing the game

please fix!

Makes the Coyote Missions more fun for sure.

Same error and crash as @Coggernaut here.

Crash To Desktop on start. Isolated the mod to this mod:

LowLevelFatalError [File: Unknown] [Line: 3146] Could not find superStruct RecieveBeginPlay to create RecieveBeginPlay

PLEASE UPDATE! this mod has help turn the tide of some many battles and make the game feel like a more fun especially with all the chaos that erupts when calling in support lol.

Man I hope this gets updated or someone makes a new one, this mod allows Me to actually feel like I'm in charge of a merc COMPANY lol.

This currently crashes the game with the new DLC

For some reason, the colors I choose for the vehicles, do not show up. They are just green vanilla.

installed the mod and reqs including the mod options from nexus... its still not showing in options..

It would be nice if the mod options could just tell you what drop compositions each one has, because as it stands the list in the mod description is no longer accurate. Some drop compositions are straight up missing and some are inaccurate, and there are several new drop compositions that don't explain what they have.

I cant see the urbie spawn options anymore

can this be a separate thing from the airstrike instead of replacing it? cuz i have the improved airstrikes mod and its really useful, plus there are some missions (mainly from coyote missions mod) that forbid calling in airstrikes, and those are also usually the missions where i want an extra lance with me (or, yknow, the ability to call an airstrike or two)

Figured it out and it's incredibly dumb so I'll post it here for anybody else who has the same issue.

If you're using MW2 Betty Ultimate, that's the issue. Bot default to 0 in load order and Betty takes priority, overwriting the airstrike file that this mod also uses, despite only affecting the voice line used. Bump this to 1 in load order and suddenly it works just fine EVEN THOUGH THE BETTY VOICE LINE STILL WORKS. Very odd. But that's sorted. Now I can obliterate Freebirth scum with a whole Galaxy of Timber Wolfs. Cheers.

Meant to say I have those installed as well, but you used to need to manually add the spawn bases to those resource folders and now you don't iirc. So they should be spawning theoretically

I think mods are still required for the clans. I don't use them so I can't say. I would just recommend using the Standard Lance to see if that works and go from there.

I have both of those and nada. Granted I'm trying to spawn OmniMech Stars. But to my knowledge the spawn lists for both YACM and CI are built-in now, so theoretically it should be working.

@wulf it works fine. You need to make sure you also have the separate Mod Options mod installed which so you can change the settings, otherwise it stays as the default. Also the MW5 Compatibility Pack mod.

Can anybody verify whether or not this mod is working post-DLC5 and its patches? I installed it, no conflicts, but it doesn't seem to be working, but I run so many mods I'd just like to know if it's a conflict I'm not being notified of or if it's actually busted.

An option to drop your idle mechwarrior in the roster in the battle and the mod is perfect.

This is exactly what i wanted a reinforcements mod, for additional support. You lead a mercenary company of course they have more than just mechs.

one of the best mods! fyi [light lance] option has a medium and heavy mech in it,BUT! its easy to tweek using text file

Any way to work this mod without the Mod Options or does anybody have a discord to join for more info on how to get this mod to work without having to download anything from Nexus Mods?

Love the mod, after last Update it broke the mod a little, dropping help works fine, however they just sit idle withotu doing anything unless they are shot then they respond but even then sometimes they just sit still till they die.

I also would like to know which mod is required for the Super Heavy and Clan lances?

What mod is required for the 'Superheavy'?

Love the mod though
very fun for messing around

Love this mod! its perfect really! well ish lol sometimes a couple of tanks that drop do nothing but sit there and yes works for me with RoR

Mod is not working at the moment for me. Any time I call in a drop, nothing happens and I just get a never-ending alert of incoming airstrike until the end of the mission.

JUST in time. I pulled up this game just as you updated. woo!

Also hoping for an update here

Hi

With the latest release of the new DLC "rise of rasalhague" this mod isn't working anymore.
I have tested each of my installed mod and this one breaks the game with an error message
and a crash to desktop.
This one is when you call the moded air strike during the mission.
An update would be greatly appreciated, sincez it's one of the most useful mod, since the
vanilla airstrike is pretty useless !

Thank you for your work !

same with me

causes a fatal error with the new dlc something about mission directory c

@JustPurdy Apologies, Spawn composition options have been updated the be more lore-friendly. You can download the 'Classic Spawn Composition Files' from nexusmods and paste them into your Mods/VehicleDropAR/Resources folder.
