'''The Unified BattleTech Unit Template''' The concept of Battletech lends itself well to computer implementation. As a result numerous tools and systems have been created to permit game play and to augment the experience, many having been coded by fans. One of the tasks which computers have made easier for player and admin alike is the creation and maintenance of Unit Templates. A Template is, in effect, a definition of a Unit: It lists all the characteristics of that unit. Details such as the amount of armor at a given location, how much ammunition a weapon has available and where it is stored are all included in a template. Unfortunately, as most of the fan made implementations of Battletech have been created in isolation from each other - there does not exist a single format for the storage of Unit Templates. This means that if an admin or player creates a template for one game system he/she must convert it or retemplate it for use in another. To overcome this a working group has been formed to create a Unified Battletech Unit Template: a format for the storage of unit templates which is common between Battletech implementations. Currently members from two of the most actively developed projects [http://sourceforge.net/projects/megamek MegaMek] and [http://sourceforge.net/projects/btonline-btech Btechonline Battletech Mux] have come together within the working group. Members of any other implementation are more than welcome to participate. A mailing list has been created for this working group. Details of the list are available [http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/btonline-btech-ubut here] {{:UBUT:Goals}} {{:UBUT:Status}}
