About this mod Author’s original text
Spectre Rodeo
Northstar mod that ports Spectre rodeo behavior from Titanfall 1 Frontier Defense gamemode with some additions for usage in other gamemodes.
__Required to be installed on both server and client.__
__Compability issues:__ This mod replaces spectre model (robots/spectre/imc_spectre.mdl) with one that has more animations included.
If you use other mod that replaces it, you'll get script error about missing animations. You can either change load order of this mod, or modify mdl by adding 2 $includemodel lines in QC and re-compile it.
$includemodel "humans/pete/pete_scripted_r1.mdl"
$includemodel "humans/pete/pilot_shared.mdl"
When Titan faces Spectre in close range, it will jump on titan and steal battery or throw grenade into hatch if it has one.
If "Classic Rodeo" is enabled, Spectre will stay on Titan and shoot Titan's weakspot.
Spectres with battery will try to bring it to friendly random Titan. Hacked Spectres prioritize Titan of player who hacked them.

Install & use Install: Northstar client mod
- Install the Northstar client first (the open-source community client for Titanfall 2; its release page provides an installer). It loads the mods.
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and put its contents into the Northstar/mods/ folder inside your Titanfall2 directory.
- Start the game through NorthstarLauncher.exe — the console lists the mods it loaded.
Northstar is for private servers and custom content; do not use it to connect to official servers.
