Hi everyone, Silverfire here. I did this on the old forums and I plan on doing it here again. I'm going to compile all available guides from the old forums and new forums and place them in one easy accessible spot for everyone's viewing pleasure. I'll be working on this continuously, but I want to establish this post as a foundation first while I get to sorting through the mirror of the old forums.

-------------------------------------------------

Hey there pilot! Looking to make a mech purchase? Looking for that perfect piece of advice in order to master your metal hunk of death? Well, I see that you are and you've come to the right place! Step right up and check this place out, see if we've got what you need. If you see something that we don't have, let me know and I'll try to get it in stock ASAP.

 

KEY:

(Steam) = on Steam guides

(video) = Youtube

(old forum mirror) = on a mirror copy of the old forums before they went down

(nothing) = it's here on these forums!

As you can see, we've only got a limited selection of guides so far, but that's where you can help out! If you like, write a guide and let me know or post them here and I'll put it up for all of Illal to see. Doesn't matter if it's simple or complex, as long as it's helpful it deserves a spot here! I'll be digging through the depths of the Steam forums and Ashfire's mirror of the old forums and locating all the still relevant guides I can to put them up here. If you happen to post a new guide on this forum, let me know via PM or post the link in the thread here. Thanks.

This post is reserved for anything that may or may not fit in the original post!

Woot can't wait to restart this project of mine!

[Zdragow]

You're awesome, Silverfire.

[Guns_N_Rozer]

will be great 

[Silverfire]

Okay, I've restarted the guide compilation once more.  If any of you have guides from the old forums you can find from the old forum mirror, posting them  on the new forums will help (as you can edit the threads on these new forums so you can edit according to the meta).  I'll link them in my OP and give you all the credit for writing the guide too!  Yay for Hawken

[Crminimal]

Sticky!

[FlamingBeaker]

Manguard. Musn't forget the Manguard guide....

 

 

 

 

edit......aaaand, it's in now! Yessss

Edited by FlamingBeaker, 26 March 2015 - 07:59 PM.

[crockrocket]

There are a few more guides linked on the subreddit sidebar, I'd recommend you take a look at those!

[Silverfire]

Oh what's this? A ton of video guides added? More Hawken guide goodness? WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm still looking for more guides, so if you wrote one on the previous forums, if you could be so kind as to copypasta it over to the new forums, which will allow you to keep it updated as the meta changes, and I can post it here, you'll get all the credit, never fear.  More guides, more fun, more Hawken.  

[TheFrostnessMonster]

Got to follow this thread so I don't loose it.  Thanks Silverfire

Seems I must repost my handy Hawken handbook some time soon. Guess that's what I'm doing after work tonight.

How about this one: A Complete Guide to Hawken: Economy, Progression, Mechs, Maps & Lore?

[Silverfire]

How about this one: A Complete Guide to Hawken: Economy, Progression, Mechs, Maps & Lore?

Yeaaaaaaaaaaah. That's a good one. Haven't had the time to add more Steam guides, guides from the mirror, and Steam groups. If anyone can link a few Steam groups and useful Steam guides, would be much appreciated!

[Hyginos]

Shameless plug, just in case this is on track with your objective:

 

Hyperspeed Hawken Informationals cover a lot of more obscure stuff in a format that is brief to the point of ADD.

[SoldierHobbes11]

Released a dueling guide not too long ago so just letting you know that you can add it if you'd like.

 

[Silverfire]

Added a few more guides, both some videos and some guides from the Hawken mirror forums.

[Zdragow]

Wait, even on the old forums no one's made a written guide for Raider?

 

This is ultimately surprising.

[Silverfire]

No written guides on a lot of mechs unfortunately.  I don't have the time to write them otherwise I'd contribute a ton more guides.

[FuzzyCupcake]

is there a guide to tweak the config.ini 

 

my pc get steady 25 fps but thats not so good im looking myself but if anyone knows feel free to let me know 

[Silverfire]

No official guide for ini tweaks has been made, a few players post it occasionally when someone asks but I would prefer it to be a real guide for everyone to access.

[Bergwein]

It is not yet complete, but will be in the near future.

You could already add the first three parts, though. :)

 

 

Edited by (KDR) Bergwein, 14 August 2015 - 08:57 AM.

[Bergwein]

And Part 3:

 

[Silverfire]

Added a few more guides and organized guides and videos into more specific sections.

 

This is still alive even if there is literally nothing coming out right now.

[leova]

thanks for these, i'll be browsing a few of them for sure :)

[nepacaka]

hey, i made a new version of Plastic config!
https://community.pl...n-20-newntasty/
in new version i fix "invisible objects", and made it visible even with low quality. no more sticky walls! now your see in which object you ???? stuck! :3

also some tweaks with smoke. just say. :?

Edited by nepacaka, 12 November 2015 - 07:44 AM.

[Hunt3rKill3r]

Any new updates since November?

[Silverfire]

Very little of this will be relevant anymore, nearly 4 years of community work.

Once this new stuff hits PC, I'll see what's salvageable.

[Aligangsta]

Great guides, I like how most are funny as well. But... I feel like there's too few Infiltrator guides. There's gotta be more than that! Maybe even includes Amidatelion's...
