JK Rarity Tables

This was originally part of the JK_Variants mod, but I am going to break it out as a separate function, as I have received multiple requests to make it work with the other existing New 'Mech skins and mods.

IMPORTANT NOTE: 

The Appearance Year is not set to be active by default in the HBS build any longer - this mod adjusts that value in Settings.json to be active once again.

What does it do?

The idea behind this mod is to add Faction Rarity Tags to every 'Mech and Vee in the game, in JK_Variants and in other available packages. These tags are then used in new LanceDef files that will call for a mix of tag values.

This makes the various 'Mech/Vee variants become more/less prevalent for the various factions. So, something like the Panther will appear more frequently for a Kurita lance, but that same Panther would be Rare elsewhere - so, instead an Urbie might appear for a similar Liao lance.

How do I install it?

This mod relies on ModTek - as long as you have it, you can download the attached "JK_Rarity.zip", then unzip and drop both mod folders into the Battletech/Mods/ folder.

This includes:

• []Z_JK_AppearanceDates  - this folder includes tags for the appearance year of various 'Mechs and Vehicles.  This should prevent them from appearing prior to their cannon dates when active.

  []Z_Sab_JK_RarityTables - this folder includes the lancedefs & tags for vanilla, Flashpoint DLC, JK_Variants & then multiple subfolders for all the wonderful work done by BloodyDoves, GentlePayload, Colo/MattyXR, SolahmaJoe, Dialcaliper and Haree78

  Note: in the Z_Sab_JK_RarityTables, there are multiple options for the JSON.  Currently there are only files in the base folder  (which cover 3025 rarity), 3039 folder and the userAdded folder (this includes various home-brew or non-standard named 'Mechs/Vees).  In time, the 3050 folder will also be populated.  When those folders are activated, they will overwrite the older tags (where appropriate), so the folders should be applied in the order the relative JSON shows.

  Does it work with Vanilla?

  Yes, it does, but with the limited choices in the pure vanilla mode, you will see a LOT of the same common 'Mechs for each faction. As more 'Mechs are added to the game, the field expands further allowing for more core game variety in the lances.

  Does it work with other 'Mech/Vee mods?

  As mentioned at the start, this was originally designed to work with the JK_Variants mod (which adds 75+ new 'Mech variants and 55+ new Vehicle variants to the existing chassis), but during the testing, there was interest expressed in expanding the viable candidates to things li
