Hi Everyone,
The development cycle for 49.20 has been incredibly busy! It’s one of the largest we’ve ever done, with 277 specific pushes to the various repositories. As you’ll see, there’s some amazing stuff coming your way. It’s so massive that we’ve had to change the format of the release notes to avoid it being a release novel!
Before I get into specifics I want to give a shout out to the entire Dev team and all our contributors, new and old for the sheer amount of work in this release. If you’re a fan of the programs make sure to drop a thanks for them on our Discord or here.
But before we get into all the stuff in this release, make sure to give this very important post a read if you haven’t.. The TLDR is that this will be the last release using Java 11. Later this summer, We are starting the 0.50.0 release cycle and it will REQUIRE Java 17.
A word of caution: this release has so many code changes in so many areas that we don’t anticipate this being a MILESTONE and truthfully will likely have bugs. But we need players to use it to find those bugs.
But let’s get into all the new stuff.
Release Highlights for MegaMek
New Features
- Improved Flight Path Indicator: Aerospace units now display a significantly enhanced flight path indicator during movement planning.
- Font Customization: Commanders can now customize the font used for round reports in the client settings, allowing for a more personalized and readable debriefing experience.
- Light Conditions Support: MegaMek now supports the light conditions “glare” and “solar flare.” These new atmospheric conditions will challenge your tactics and visibility.
Improvements
- Princess AI Improvements: Princess continues to pick up optional classes at Blackjack. Her instructors have commented they are seeing her better manage ammo, looking for more and better routes, and handling specific conditions like black ice. She’s looking forward to being able to go to more prestigious academies now that they are available.
- Skin Editor Rework: The Skin Editor has been reworked and is now fully functional again, with default saving to the user directory when available. This allows for easier customization and sharing of unit appearances.
- Code Internals and Cleanup: We’ve made numerous behind-the-scenes improvements to make the game run smoother and prepare for exciting new game types. This includes tidying up the way text is drawn on the screen, making it easier for the game to manage and display information, and simplifying some complex parts of the code to make the game more efficient and stable.
- Symbol Fonts and Icons: Added Google “Material Symbols” font and made various unit icon corrections. These enhancements improve visual clarity and consistency across the interface, making it easier to identify units and statuses at a glance.
- Force Display and Tooltip Generation: The force display will now have a default size to prevent it from starting fully collapsed. BoardView tooltip generation has been made modular, providing detailed terrain info in the Board Editor and enhancing usability during battles.
- Accessibility and Safety Enhancements: Improved cleanup and safety for accessibility windows, and made various parts of the game safer from errors. These enhancements provide a more robust and user-friendly interface.
Release Highlights for MegaMekLab
New Features
- Copy Units to Clipboard: Units can now be copied to the clipboard with Discord formatting applied, enhancing ease of sharing and collaboration.
Improvements
- Table Readability and Performance: We have a new contributor who has been doing a lot of work to improve the readability of tables and give a smoother and clearer look and feel.
Release Highlights for MekHQ
New Features
- Story Arcs: MekHQ has evolved from managing TableTop campaigns to incorporating the “Against the Bot” (AtB) spreadsheet and Stratcon, leading to countless Merc units’ adventures. But we’ve always wanted to have a branching narrative tool in it. We’ve now implemented the first part of the architecture for story arcs. When complete, this feature enables users to craft their own Starterbooks-style campaigns or custom Mek-based adventures. We’ve included a special campaign to see how this will work. Called the “Young Wolves” campaign, it delves into the Refusal War of 3057.
- Education Module: This introduces the education and training of personnel, allowing users to send their personnel to academies and universities. Personnel attending these academies receive bonus XP and skill levels. While away, various events can occur, including the possibility of needing to resit classes, graduating with honors, or washing out. Travel to and from campuses has been abstracted but remains included, as does the consideration of campus destruction or closure. This module caters primarily to MekSims users, adding depth and realism to the game’s education system. This feature supports over 200 canonical schools explicitly mentioned in canon sources and the ability to create custom ones, expanding educational options and improving character development.
- Turnover and Retention Module: Replaced the old retirement system with a new Turnover and Retention Module. This module introduces a range of campaign options that let you tailor it to fit your playstyle. Changes include minimum service contracts to reduce personnel turnover, revamped payouts, and clear distinctions between retiring, resigning, and deserting personnel. No more contracts where MekWarriors walk away with a fortune after a short stint in the barracks! Additionally, Shares are now linked to new code that tracks annual profits, ensuring personnel leaving with shares only take a percentage of your campaign’s annual profits.
- AutoAwards System: Introducing the Automatic Tracking of Awards Eligibility System (autoAwards). This smart system tracks your personnel’s achievements and automatically notifies you when they qualify for an award. AutoAwards supports custom award sets, making recognition easier than ever.
- New Morale Level: Introduced a new morale level to curb invincible morale spikes in AtB & StratCon, enhancing gameplay balance.
- Life Paths Campaign Options: Added a Life Paths Campaign Options Tab.
Improvements
- Dialog and UI Enhancements: Numerous updates to dialogs, including the Customize Scenario Dialog, Acquisitions Dialog, and various tooltips for better clarity and user experience.
- Fatigue and Award Tracking: Improved GUI support and mechanics for fatigue and automatic tracking of award eligibility, ensuring accurate representation and recognition of character conditions and achievements.
- Personnel and Scenario Management: Enhanced personnel management features, including handling multiple enrollments and logs, updated scenario modifiers for consistent map sizes, and clearer victory point designations.
- Font Color Options: Added new font color options for negative, positive, and warning events, improving readability and customization.
Java 11 and 17 is Required for all 0.49.x releases
We’ve updated to Java 11. To use the 0.49.x Development branches, an update is needed. As Java is now open source, we recommend Adoptium Temurin 11. Help pages for Windows and Mac users are available. Linux users should use their package manager to install Adoptium Temurin.
This release also supports Java 17, which has undergone some testing. More player usage is needed, but Java 11 remains our recommended version.
A Few Reminders:
State of the Universe (January 19, 2024):
If you haven’t given the State of the Universe (read here if you missed it) a read, please do. There’s lots of information in there that is still recent and relevant.
The Milestone System Summary
Please see this link for details on the replacement for the old Stable and Development cycle.
User Data Directory for MegaMek, MegaMekLab, and MekHQ:
We’ve added a customizable User Data Directory feature. This allows you to set a single external directory for storing game resources like units, camos, and fonts, which is accessible across different installations and versions of MegaMek, MegaMekLab, and MekHQ.
Key Points:
- Set a Custom Directory: Choose any location on your computer (e.g., D:/myMMStuff) to keep your game resources.
- File Placement:
- Fonts and units (.mtf, .blk) can be placed anywhere within this directory.
- Camo images in /data/images/camo/
- Portrait images in /data/images/portraits/
- Unit fluff images in /data/images/fluff/
/ - Rank and award definition files (.xml) in /data/universe/
- Consistent Access: Resources in this directory are usable across different game versions and modules without needing to relocate them for each new install.
- Implementation: Set up this directory via the client settings. A game restart is required for changes to take effect.
Removal of Unofficial Units Zip:
Based on feedback from our Discord and a poll where 75% of players favored this decision, we’ve removed the unofficial units zip from this release. This change allows us to focus on canon units.
To reintegrate the units:
- Download the zip file from MegaMek Extras HERE.
- Right-click and use the “save link as” option.
- Save it as a zip to the data\mechfiles folder of the program.
- We suggest saving it to a customs folder within data\mechfiles.
- They will be added upon restart.
MekHQ Campaign Files:
Remember, MekHQ campaign files are NOT backwards compatible. Moving your campaign to a newer version prevents reverting to an older one, but keeping backups allows play in both versions for comparison.

Updating Your Campaign:
- Make backups of your campaigns and customs.
