Custom Weapon/Equipment Data Files for Total Warfare
While the current HeavyMetal programs do not completely support all of the new equipment, Leon Shirow has generously supplied custom weapons files for all of the programs, making it possible to design using all of the latest equipment. These files are installed using an automated setup program, which can update all Mark of the ninja: remastered download. of your HeavyMetal programs at once. Down the setup from theData Files for Programs page.
Updated Weapon BV Calculator
The Weapon BV Calculator has always been very useful, but now it's been updated to cover even more. All of the possible missile/cluster hits from Total Warfare have been included (like17 and 29), maximum range has been increased to 40, and most important, you can enter separate damage values for Short, Medium and Long Range (for those Heavy Gauss Rifle lookalikes)! The expanded range table shows all the values as before, and you can check calculations the whole way through. Best of all, you can simply save this page to your computer's hard drive, and calculate weapon BV even when you're not connected to the Internet. Be sure to check it out!

New HeavyMetal Pro and Vee Releases with BV2
BattleTech is a science-fiction 'space opera': a factional, militarized universe set in the thirty-first century, a future where humanity has spread to the stars and spawned titanic interstellar empires, each nation controlling hundreds of worlds across a region of space stretching a thousand light years and beyond.
In an effort to keep up with the never ending changes of the BattleTech Universe, separate releases of HMPro and HMVee have been made available which incorporates all of the new Battle Value 2 calculations, weapon BVs and tables from the newBattleTech TechManual. To help the player, two versions of the programs are being made available: for HMPro, V5.1x, with the original BV, and V5.2x, with BV2; for HMVee, V2.0x, with the original BV, and V2.2x, with BV2. You can keep BV, update to BV2, or even run both. For more information on the differences and how to work with them, look at the Battle Value versus BV2 page. You can view all the changes, and update to one or both programs, at the Program Updates Page.

HeavyMetal programs with Vista and Windows7/8/10
All of the HeavyMetal programs run fine on Windows Vista and Windows7/8/10, in fact I use Vista to both develop and run the programs. While we're all in a learning process with the newer Windows versions, please visit theRunning HeavyMetal on Windows Vista/7/8/10 page for the latest in instructions and information on running the HeavyMetal program on Microsoft's latest operating system. The bottom line is: YES! You can run your HeavyMetal programs on Vista and Windows7/8/10, even 64-bit systems. Bill just has some hoops he'd like you to jump through first!
New RUS Data Files
Additional RUS data files are now being made available. Adding to the considerable number of data files included with the program, the latest files include tables from the new Total Warfare book as well as other sources.

New Map Files for ARTy (Artillery Resolution Tracker)
There are 98 new map files to be used with ART. It's a 30 MB download, but if you're into using artillery on standard, published map sheets, you'll want to go to the ART (Artillery Resolution Tracker) web page, at the bottom, and download them. ART (or ARTy to his friends) is a much-improved, but still FREE, artillery planning and resolution program, allowing you to specify the weapon and ammo type for your artillery, select your targets and gunnery skill, and randomly calculate and display damage based on the standard scatter rules from BattleTech. You can even display the damage on standard map sheet graphics, and print out the damage grid, with or without the map sheets. Good for planning artillery barrages for that next game, and give your enemy a real surprise! A free program for our customers, you can see more about ART and download it here.
