I thought Mektek released that with the free release way back when? I know I downloaded a development tool that I couldn't figure out how to use.

No, Mostly because mektek was the one managing it and trying to grow it because they had the tools necessary and asked microsoft to allow them to release it for free it so microsoft said "okay" then mektek was allowed to release it for free but soon after the lead modder jehosophat 'house burned down the tools were lost to the sands of time and mektek eventually dropped it and due to "Money" problems they quit solaris/ATI and if you downloaded Mechwarrrior 4 tools from mech3.org 99.9 percent chance you got them from me (i have a name change)

I would really like to see the source code released as well, have you had any success in getting in contact with anyone? Awhile ago I had this crazy idea of adding all the MW4 mechs to MCO, but for some weird reason I got a ton of negative backlash from the MW modding community and even less support from the team I was a part of. For one reason or another it's like people didn't want it to happen. Would anyone from Mektek be willing to back up this petition? This is what I was able to do with the mechs from MW3, what would everyone think if the there was a MW4 commander? postimg.org/image/jqjo2mq0d/postimg.org/image/jbcm8qf4j/

Dude, that is awesome work. Are you able to add mechs to MC? as in, new mechs, not replacing existing mechs? If so I would say we should work on CREATING meshes for new mechs and trying for the Mech3 look... Just my two cents. btw, where's our Atlas? Shouldn't that be in the IS pic?

It's going to be added as well, I just wanted to showcase the mechs from MW3. I can add new mechs and have been working on redoing some of the existing models with MW3 textures.

That's awesome! That's shaping up to be a very cool mod.

It is in fact possible to add mw4 mechs to MCO (i have the tools if you need them) i don't know why people would go against that as most of the mechwarrior 4 mechs are nicely designed

The problem I ran into was that the MW4 mechs are copyrighted and although I edited them slightly, I was told that I would still be sued by "That evil corporation" if i used them in anyway. If MW4 was freeware and the source code was released, I would gladly port them to MCO. Since the license is no longer held by Mektek and the only way possible would be a petition to release the source code, how would we get started on it? Another question is if anyone from Mektek would be willing to push for it to be released since they were the ones who designed most of the expansion mechs and most likely know who to get in touch with to make this happen.

You can't be sued by them because microsoft sold off the rights to PGI of MWO and also mektek can't really do anything since they moved to heavy gear everything is safe to go just as long as you aren't doing it for profit

It doesn't make any sense that people would give you trouble for wanting the MW4 mechs in. MC2 already had some very MW4 looking designs in it anyways. I've played MC, MC2, and MCO and while it's nice to see people adding stuff to MCO, I just can't get interested with the lack of a multiplayer for the game.
That being said, awesome work with those models.

In that case I'd say alright then. If you can get the models and textures I will add them. The only thing is that I would like for the lead programmer from the Omnitech team to be a part of it. He wrote the code for the version I'm using and has put a lot of time and effort into keeping mechcommander alive(As well as showing me how to add mechs and weapons). Maybe we can do three versions, a MW3 and MW4 mod of MCO along with the main version.

I'd love to see a version of the Vengeance/Mercs 'mechs done with 'mech3 textures...sort of to give them that mech3 look..
