*Source files available Installation:
Download and unzip the main file. Place the unzipped folder containing a mod.json, Paks folder, etc. into the Mods folder of your MW5 installation (discard the Nexus created folder that has numbers at the end of the mod name). You can go in-game to Mods at the main menu and click the Manual-install folder if you're having trouble finding it. Final install path should look like Mechwarrior5\MW5Mercs\Mods\RestoreTraits
Details:
Adds option to save a Mech's loadout when moving it to cold storage, everything is still stripped off the mech and added to the player's inventory
Only successfully saves loadout if Mech has any traits equipped (or at least one weapon if using weapon/equipment option)
Loadout automatically re-applied to a Mech being taken out of cold storage
No time or costs needed to re-apply traits
Loadouts automatically deleted if mech sold while in cold storage
Option to also restore weapons and equipment with no time or cost, default off (mod will try to remove appropriate items from inventory if available, be careful adding saved items to another mech or they will fail to restore)
Optional highlights around weapon/equipment that are used by stored mechs in player's inventory
Cold storage tooltip shows weapon loadouts now (weapons/equipment aren't actually equipped and are in the player's inventory)
Icons show which mechs have a saved loadout
Can filter mechs that have loadouts using Level filter in cold storage
Option to skip cold storage confirm popup
Exporting/Importing Loadouts to New Saves:
To export, move any mechs you want in cold storage first, click the export button and then create a save, auto or manual
Go to the menu, create a new game, use the vanilla import and select the save
Enter the mechlab and select import
Note this relies on the vanilla import functionality (locked behind C++) to have the same storage slot ids, so it may not always work
