I downloaded the Loki Big guns from the download section, but does anyone know how I get it into my game so I can use it? I D/L to my desk top, and from there using explorer I moved it into a folder in mW4 marked "variants," but I can't seem to find it. Help, please? huh.gif

WHAT!?
(SIGH OF RESIGNATION) Okay, fine. I'll make one meself. I like doing it that way anyway. Thx Spiff!

Yeah those variants were good more or less up to and including MP2.1a. After that Mektek programmed some security features into MP3 that requires you to make new variants.

You can still use them basically. You'll just have to make them manually in the lab in lieu of dropping the variant into your variant folder. There will be some slot adjustments from mekpak to mekpak that may make some of the variants invalid.

Thanks, Rat. Yeah I can see some slot adjustments on the Loki already, but I think I'm getting the hang of the balance of speed, heat, and firepower in some new configs that I'll be taking into battle soon. Thanks lots!
