Does anyone know where I can get appropriate stats for MWDA mechs to use with this app?

I want to tinker wit the layouts to try out possible conversions, but at present have a good looking program that is essentially a blank canvas!

do a search for TRO's (Technical Readout)

start with the 3025 TRO for battletech. work your way up to the 3067 TRO

on a quick search i found this
http://www.solaris7.com/TRO/BattleMe...leMechList.asp

it should have some good ideas for what you need

Thanks GCommander!

A greeat reference site.

However, do you know of a place I can download the stats to be opened on TDB rather than having to sift through them.

Also, what model Rifleman is the MWDA version, it looks very different to the CBT ones I know of!

Go to www.chaosmarch.com

Should sort out all your needs.

It's the Project Phoenix Rifleman (Reseen). Mechground.com has TROs of all kinds, including the game stats (CBT) and pictures for the Project Phoenix TRO.

Thanks again.

However call me a dummy or what you will but I cannot seem to locate the TDB compatible files that I can open with that application on any of these sites. What am I overlooking?

I want to be able to start TDB them open the downloaded mech stats and tinker with them. All of these sites seem to be stat packed but none in TDB format.

HELP!

I suggest ordering Heavy Metal Pro.

Go to the chaos march.

Click on downloads, in the left hand menu.

Scroll down till you see the drawing board zip files.Download the zips marked 3060,3055 etc.

Unzip and install in your DB folder.


Hope that helps.

Are there 3068 files, too? I don't have these.

TDB is a great free program, (BAD kazaa, BAD kazaa!) ... however it is no longer being officially supported (as long as there's no major rules changes it should work fine (works for me).

BUT, you're gonna have to input those designs yourself (or find someone whose already done it and they can send them to you) ... and you'll be SOL when tinkering with ICE designs (there's no way to NOT give the mechs heat sinks ... so it'll load an ICE mech with 10 HS (even if you only wanted 3)).

I loved TDB and downloaded all existing mech files for it.
However I doubt it will help with MW:DA, since the dossier cards describe mechs that have nothing to do with the miniatures. The games are too different. How could you create, for example,a CBT version of Jacyn Bell? (an assault mech that can jump farther than a spider????)

ah well, you have to take MWDA equipment and bring it down to lvl2 rules ... sure it's not the same exact unit, but it makes a heck of a lot more sense.

The Zeus X is a great example, neat lvl 3 mech, but you've got to tinker around a wee bit to make it more lvl 2.

stupid 5 min rule! ...

anyway, TDB has most of the lvl3 rules as well ... not my cup of tea so I really couldn't comment on their completeness.
