So I've been playing Battletech and just for funnzies I went ahead and put in some custom Merc Pilots.
I'm not going to mislead anyone on how to properly mod the battle tech code to make custom pilots. I suck at is so far and this isn't really the forum for that anyways. But, can switch these imgs with existing "Backer" pilots by swapping them in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BATTLETECH\BattleTech_Data\StreamingAssets\sprites\Portraits
As always make sure you make a copy of the original files, just in case.
If you feel adventurous, the
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BATTLETECH\BattleTech_Data\StreamingAssets\data\pilot
folder has the .json files for each pilot. After swapping out the img, can identify the matching .json and customize the name\voice\etc... just be carefull. Double Quotes and Commas are important in json, don't remove any!
Edit: Started a thread for this and uploaded the img's and json files to switch these out:
