The only drawback to the program is that you cannot save 'Mech configs. You have to redo them each time you use the program. BattleTech Fluff Abilities Lists I have put together lists of 'Mech, Vehicle, and Aerospace special abilities based on fluff that, due to demand, I am placing on PRI. Unfortunately, I have somehow lost them all and only through a fair amount of luck was able to retrieve the 'Mech list. I will attempt to rebuild the Vehicle and Aerospace lists in the future. BattleMech Abilities Battle Value Balancers Regimental Balancer - Excel - Bedwyr - Uploaded 01-10-2006 A nice utility actually. You enter in the BV (as well as names if you wish) of the units in your combat organization, anything up to a regiment or similar Clan force. Add in the piloting and gunnery and this sheet will calculate the total adjusted BV of your entire force. This is a potentially VERY nice piece of work that Bedwyr plans on expanding at some time. I would love to see something like this that you can use to print out on paper for reference. :-) Combat Support Field Manual - Uploaded 04-21-2004 Here is an awesome reference for people who wish to use support elements in their BattleTech campaigns. Complete with information relevant to each major faction, and descriptions of everything from shipping containers to medical support, this is by far one of the best collections of information I have ever seen. It is Boilerman's brainchild and work here which was PDFed by Discord. It rocks. BattleTech Dice TI-86 Required Designed for use with the TI-86 calculator, this automatically rolls 1D6, 2D6, missile hit tables, or damage locations. This is a very nice little utility. Now if only someone would something like it for the Palm OS...hehehe. Thanks for the link Webmaster Coolman. Dragoon's Rating Calculator - Webpage Program File - Uploaded 03-22-2004 This program calculates the Dragoon's Rating of a Battletech mercenary unit. The calculator is in a simple to use wizard format to guide you through the calculation. This uses the rules found in FASA's Field Manual: Mercenaries sourcebook, which is almost identical to the previous versions of the rules. Update 06-02-2003 - The old webpage was down. I did a search on the web and found the new one and have changed the link on my page. Update 03-22-2004 - The new webpage appears to have problems linking to the downloads page. I was able to play around a bit with the address bar, get to it, and obtain the program file. I now provide it here. HeavyMetal's Fun Stuff - Webpage This page has dice rollers, BV balancers, Line of Sight Calculators, and a page that creates BV for custom weapons. There are some other things there as well that you may find funny and interesting. All of this comes from the mind of the dude who makes and sells the HeavyMetal line of BattleTech software. He SOOO rocks. - Webpage HeroMachine - file This nice little program helps you create a character to look like however you want them to look. Very nice for visualization. It is currently free but the author is making a new and much more powerful version of the program that will be pay only because he is paying for lots of bandwidth. In an effort to help his bandwidth go down a bit, I'm suggesting that you download the file here. He has said I can host the file here so don't worry about that. To run the program, simply unzip it into a directory and open up HeroMachine.html. It uses flash and works entirely inside of your browser. This is a very good program and I recommend it highly. Inner Sphere Map - Craig J. Lipinski - Win 95 or NT 4.0 Min - Uploaded 5-19-2003 This is an interesting program. I like it as it allows for the use of unencrypted files unlike the Inner Sphere Planetary Locator so we can make our own map files to be viewed in it. Unfortunately, it only uses the 3052 factions, so you have to tell it that systems are one of those types of factions. The included file works, but only the factions on it are coded into the engine. Also, you can right-click and drag to find out how many lightyears is between systems. However, the calculation is wrong. Actual distance is approximately 2.7 times that given in the program. Pryde Rock Stellar Cartography Datafiles - Medron Pryde - Uploaded 5-19-2003 Built by me using Mike Flynn's Inner Sphere Cartography Society datafiles as a start, these files have corrected several small errors in the ISCS files. I've also been updating it with new systems that are being put into the universe. These files are optimized for use in Rick Raisley's HeavyMetal Map (in early beta testing for over a year) software that has been in testing for a while, but they do work in the Inner Sphere Map program too as each program currently uses the same file structure for loading maps. Inner Sphere Planetary Locator min OS unknown Here is a nice little program that gives you the location of every planet in the Inner Sphere and the affiliations of them in each of the major time periods. Now it isn't perfect, as the Periphery worlds are wacked out as far as position goes, and the ownership of Chaos March worlds in 3058 not correct, but this program does generate jump paths for moving planet to planet, a very nice capability for campaigns. Designed by Masterful Creations. Base VB files These must be installed before you can install the ISPL program. My experience is that if you install TDB first, you will not need to install these files before bringing up ISPL. Note: These are the same files required for the Vehicle Factory progs. Threed32.ocx If you get a "missing threed32.ocx" error then you use a newer version of Visual Basic on your computer that does not support some of the older controls in previous versions of VB. Unzip this file into your windows system directory, click START, RUN and then type "REGSVR32.EXE /C THREED32.OCX" into the dialog box. That should make the program work correctly. It worked for me. For further directions from IBM, click here. - Webpage What do you want? Random dice rolls? World maps? City maps? Tavern layouts? They may not be the most graphically impressive maps out there, but it's better then designing the utilities to make them yourself. Very sweet and definitely worth a look. Four Jansma Progs min OS unknown Base To Hit Calculator Heat Tracker MechWarrior 2nd Creator Unit Engineer Unit Engineer 3.5.5 Update Four programs made by Nic Jansma that you can use to play Battletech or MechWarrior 2nd Edition. The first three need no explanation, but the fourth does. You can randomly generate any unit from a small raiding party on up to a large planetary garrison in the time period of 3025 through 3055 for both Inner Sphere and Clan affiliations split up by each individual faction. A very nice prog. Mech List - by Perkins An excel file that lists all Mechs, Fighters, Vehicles, ProtoMechs, JumpShips, Dropships, and Warships in TR2750, TR3025, TR3025(R), TR3026, TR3050, TR3050(R), TR3055, TR3055(R),TR3057, TR3060, and TR3067. It is a rather long file...:-) Mercenary Budget and Creation Worksheets Mercenary Budget Sheet - by Erewhon - Excel - Uploaded 01-30-2007 This is a cool sheet. Erewhon sent this to me a LONG time ago and I just got around to pushing it up and really taking a really close look at it. I like it. I really like it. I want to use this, that is how much I like it. It has every unit ever published (I think) in it so all you have to do is type in (or copy from the relevant page) the name of the 'Mech or other unit and it will put in the costs. If you want to add units, just insert a line and add in the relevant information. Very cool. This uses the Mercenary FM Revised rules. I really like this sheet. Simple to us, and easy to expand. Very bloody nice. :-) Mercenary Budget and Creation Sheet - by Khan Joseph Mallan - Excel - Updated 07-24-2006 A very interesting sheet, this includes the rules for creating a unit from scratch by using the Commander's skills and history. Then it goes into handling basic wages and support and everything else. Glancing through the sheets and trying out the options makes me think this is a very nice sheet and brings me to like it. I would suggest that you take a look at it and see if you like it too. :-) Mercenary Budget Sheet - Version 2 - by Billy Compton - Uploaded 08-09-2005 Mercenary Budget Sheet - by Billy Compton - Uploaded 08-04-2005 These are Thompson's spreadsheet upgraded to work with the rules in the Revised Mercenary Field Manual. A fair bit of work was entailed in doing them and they look good IMHO. Version 2 is significantly improved over the first version, but I'm keeping both up so you can choose which you want to use. Thanks for sending the sheets to me dude. Mercenary Budget Sheet - by Chris Thompson Better, but much more complicated, sheet that helps you to perform unit management. It even has the relevant stats of every unit I know of in BTech and BSpace/AT2 already entered in so all you have to do is type in the unit class and it pulls up the maintenance information for it. I'm very impressed with this thing at a first glance. Very impressed. Mercenary Budget Sheets - Version 3 - by Boilerman Mercenary Budget Sheets - Version 2 - by Boilerman A handy little set of sheets that perform the rather lengthy set of calculations that normally take hours to do by hand, so you can play your merc unit with ease. Comparatively speaking of course. I think this set is da bomb....:-) Mercenary Contract Generator - Webpage Program File - Uploaded 03-22-2004 This can create a contract for a mercenary unit with the rules found in the Mercenary Handbook 3056. One thing that would be nice to see for this is the ability to print contracts. But overall, it is a decent program. I was impressed that someone did this. Update 06-02-2003 - The old webpage was down. I did a search on the web and found the new one and have changed the link on my page. Update 03-22-2004 - The new webpage appears to have problems linking to the downloads page. I was able to play around a bit with the address bar, get to it, and obtain the version 3.2 program file. I was unable to obtain versions 1, 2, or 4, but I now provide 3.2 here. Below are programs designed to run on Palm Pilots to support BattleTech play. BattleTech LOS - Version 1.2.0 This program calculates line of sight for BattleTech games. The output looks much like the elevation level worksheet in the Tactical Handbook. - Thank you Zilaz X'Savior for this program. PocketC - This program must be installed or the LOS program will not work. PalmTech This program determines hit locations and critical hits randomly. Pryde Rock Stellar Cartographic Corps This is where I collect the various maps designed to accurately show the universe of BattleTech. 3064 Inner Sphere - Taken from Classic BattleTech. 3132 Inner Sphere - Taken from the Technology of Destruction MechWarrior Hardcover book. 3132-3064 Inner Sphere Comparison - The TOD and CBT maps combined by me for comparison purposes. Random Unit Selector - Requires the VB6 dlls that come with HMP RUS 1 - The original version RUS 2 - The new version - Uploaded 1-25-2007 A nice program for making quick and easy tables. You can make a table for choosing the weather, random encounters for MechWarrior, or random 'Mechs for BattleTech. Or frankly, anything else you want. This is freeware and was made by RCW enterprises, the maker of HMP. Version 2 is far more powerful and if you've never used it I'd suggest trying it out. RUS Expanded Tables A set of tables I am making to more fully show the BattleTech universe of 'Mechs and all that jazz, now in a handy travel size. For instance, rarer or abandoned 'Mechs stay on the lists as they increase in tech, they just become very rare by tech A. This table includes the five major houses, Comstar and Word of Blake, the Free Rasalhague Republic, St. Ives, Mercenaries, and the different Periphery factions from 3025 to 3063, the final date being decided by the Field Manual. All the tables are separated into directories to make them easier to navigate. RUS Random Dates - Ralgith - Uploaded 1-25-2007 A set of files for generating random dates if you want to do that for a campaign or anything else. Cool. BMR Tables by Hawkins These files are updated because the other files I have for BMR are incorrect. Thanks for the help dude. RUS BMR Lance-Star-Pilot Tables Uploaded 4-21-2004 - BMR company, lance and star creation files, as well as the random pilot tables. RUS BMR Terrain Tables Uploaded 4-27-2004 RUS BMR Vehicle Tables Uploaded 4-27-2004 RUS Level 3 Hit Tables Uploaded 4-6-2003 From MaxTech, these are the Level 3 hit tables for 'Mechs and vehicles. RUS Field Manual Tables Uploaded 4-6-2003 This includes just about every official random 'Mech, ASF, or vehicle table from just about every faction from every Field Manual and I'm thinking AT2 as well. This is a truly massive list. The original archive I was given included my enhanced "historically correct" files so I delled them from the archive. Don't want to pass them off as official after all. Just correct...:-). RUS BMR Tables Uploaded 4-6-2003 This is a rather involved set of files. They include the BMR random 'Mech lists, as well as the company, lance and star creation files from that book. They also include the random pilot tables from BMR. RUS Aerospace 2 Hit Tables Uploaded 4-6-2003 Different from most tables I host, these are the hit tables from AT2. These are the actual tables to the best of my knowledge with no changes. RUS Aerospace 2 Tables - by Discord Uploaded 3-3-2002 The tables from AT2 and the Outworld's Alliance tables from the Periphery FM, these are the actual tables the generate random fighters with no changes. RUS BattleArmor Tables A set of tables made by Dave Hill that randomly select BattleArmor for each of the various factions. They do include some of the BA designs made using BADR. Just so you know...;-) Solaris 7 Charts - by Perkins Uploaded 3-17-2003 A nice little excel spreadsheet that figures out the damage, delay, heat, and all that jazz for all known weapons for the Solaris 7 rules of combat. Very nice if I say so myself. Gameplay Charts and Sheets Tables by Bedwyr AeroTech 2 Tables - Uploaded 07-24-2006 AeroTech 2 Tables - Uploaded 01-24-2007 - color with TW-style logo AeroTech 2 Tables - Uploaded 01-24-2007 - greyscale with TW-style logo BattleForce 2 Tables - Uploaded 07-24-2006 BattleForce 2 Tables - Uploaded 01-24-2007 - color with TW-style logo BattleForce 2 Tables - Uploaded 01-25-2007 - grey with TW-style logo BattleTech BMRr Tables - Uploaded 01-24-2007 - color with TW-style logo BattleTech BMRr Tables - Uploaded 01-24-2007 - greyscale with TW-style logo Bedwyr made some of the best player-made tables for AT2., BF2, and BT I've ever seen and I very proudly place them up here for you guys to use. If you play either game, these will be invaluable to you as you wont have to flip open the book every time you turn around. Thanks very much Bedwyr for the files. Tables by Nathan BattleTech Reference Sheet 1 - Updated 11-19-2004 BattleTech Reference Sheet 2 - Updated 11-19-2004 Two modified versions of the tables in the back of the BattleTech rules books that you can print off and take to a game. They are easier to use and have some short explanations as well. Very nice additions. Thank you Nathan for sending them to me. BattleTech Weapons and Equipment Sheet - Uploaded 11-19-2004 Another table courtesy of Nathan, this shows the stats for almost all of the level 1 and level 2 weapons and equipment. I noticed that it does not include any armor, but seems complete otherwise. Thanks dude. Table Master - Webpage currently nonfunctional Table Master - file Wintertree software made many very good programs for RPG enthusiasts. Perhaps the best of these is Table Master, a program that you can use to randomly determine results from any kind of table. I have designed files for it that allow you to generate Clan and Inner Sphere pilots, and Inner Sphere 'Mechs for each of the factions in the Battletech Master Rules and Mechwarrior 2nd Ed. 'Mech tables. Random encounter tables or anything else can be made with this software. Since the Wintertree software link is down and I have been unable to find it anywhere on the web, I have uploaded a working copy of the program. This is NOT the shareware version and I WILL remove it if I ever find that Wintertree is still active. Table Master tables I made three tables here for use with Table Master. One is a simple warrior table that randomly generates a pilot for either IS or Clan affiliations. I also set up two tables (one for lances and one for companies) that follow the rules in Battletech Master Rules for random generation. They have tables for all Inner Sphere factions in the BMR and in the old MechWarrior 2nd Edition. I also entered a Taurian Concordat listing into the table which was for an old RPG I was in. They can be ignored and are the only listings not FASA published. No Clan listings. Tables by Platemail - Platemail.org - Uploaded 11-13-2004 A table that randomly generates way stations for the Exile roleplaying system. Table by Hesperia - Hespiria Waystation - Uploaded 11-13-2004 A set of tables to do everything from creating phobias, generating adventures, and towns, to names and weapons. Nice stuff there. Tables by Waterdeep Boys - Waterdeep Boys Club - Uploaded 11-13-2004 Tables that make jewelry, NPCs, personalities, spell books, and more. Tables by Phil Masters - Phil Master's Site - Uploaded 11-13-2004 Tables for finding places to sleep in a desert, contemplate the meaning of life, or to try your hand at using cards to foretell the future. Nice and amusing little set of tables. Table Master Fantasy Pack 1 - Official Wintertree Pack Uploaded 3-17-2003 This is an official Wintertree pack that they charged for in the past. As the company appears to be dead, I'm posting this file for others to be able to use. If Wintertree ever returns, I will remove this pack from PRI. Thank you Discord for finding these packs for me. Table Master Fantasy Pack 2 Official Wintertree Pack Uploaded 3-17-2003 This is an official Wintertree pack that they charged for in the past. As the company appears to be dead, I'm posting this file for others to be able to use. If Wintertree ever returns, I will remove this pack from PRI. Thank you Discord for finding these packs for me. Table Master Sci Fi Pack 1 Official Wintertree Pack Uploaded 3-17-2003 This is an official Wintertree pack that they charged for in the past. As the company appears to be dead, I'm posting this file for others to be able to use. If Wintertree ever returns, I will remove this pack from PRI. Thank you Discord for finding these packs for me. Table Master System Generator 1.3 - by Revanche NEW 3-3-2002 Built using the system rules in Explorer Corps as a basis but with his own revisions, Revanche sent these tables to me so I could post them. Unfortunately, at this time I do not have a working copy of Table Master so I have not yet tested them. Natural Death - by Revanche Uploaded 1-23-2003> Designed by Revanche, this is a nice little idea based on AD&D that randomly rolls the natural age of death of your character. It looks like a very good little thang, and I like it. A short age can be said to be because of a disease, while extended life of over 100 years because your character as healthy habits....*wink wink, nod nod* Table Master tables An old online friend T-Bolt made these tables here for use with Table Master. The tables in this listing are simply lists of mechs, vehicls, fighters, and spaceships that are randomly selected. These are not as indepth as the ones I made, or as the program Mishima is writing, but they do offer more units (like the Clan 'Mechs and the fighters and spaceships) then either of what we have included. WinterTree Dice - Uploaded 5-29-03 Another piece of software written by WinterTree, this is similar to Rick's RUS. It takes tables and randomly selects the entry for display. I prefer RUS, but if you've never gotten out to buy any of his programs, this could work for you. Thanks to James Miller for finding this program and giving it to me. I'm trying to pick up all of the old WinterTree software and jazz so it doesn't disappear forever as the company went out of business some time ago. WinterTree FX Master Sound Mixer - Uploaded 6-25-2003 Another piece of software written by WinterTree given me by James Miller. He wrote the following note about it. "The FXMaster is the sound program from Wintertree. It's was designed to surf through your wav files, and then set them up in the 5 section menu, so you could play them as sound effects during your game. (Remember: This was designed for Win 3.1! It's old, but works well...) Don't try to install it. Just delete the installer, and use the FX program itself."
