Weapon Diversity 3025 (for BattleTech 1.9.1)

Now available in both Vanilla and BattleTech Extended versions.

Adds a vast array of canon weapon models (400+) to the game for the 3025 era, and updates all 'Mech existing variants in the base game to carry the appropriate models, plus those added by other mods.  Also adds all new weapon variants to shops, weighted appropriately as to their lore-defined rarity.

View the README text at bottom for installation instructions.

Please note that only a VANILLA 'MECHBAY version of this mod currently exists.  A MechEngineer version may be created when resources permit.

Now includes an optional Rarity tags as a separate, complimenting mod.  If you wish to limit the appearance of the alternative variants to faction/time period appropriateness then please place the WepDiv3025 Rarity Tags folder in your /Mods folder.

Jamming for Autocannons:

Using the functionality enabled by CustomAmmoCategories, appends the possibility of jamming to all Autocannons in the game.  Healthy/reliable Autocannons have a very low chance to jam.  This has been tested in gameplay, and any weapons not known for jamming seldom do so.  However, some models in lore are known for jamming or ammunition-feed issues, and so their chance to jam has been made higher than that of other Autocannons.

Jamming probability is reduced by the gunnery skill of the present MechWarrior, so train up that gunnery!

Shop Support through itemCollections:

Sorts the new weapon models, allowing them to spawn in shops randomly with frequency depending on their rarity/quality.  Prices have also been scaled based on quality/rarity for new weapons.

Salvage Support:

Items will be in the uncommon/rare weapon pool for salvage spawn.  You will also see a lot more - / + weapons, or unmarked weapons with different manufacturers, due to the fact that opposition units will be carrying their appropriate models instead of mostly STOCK weapons.

Half-Ton Ammunition:

Half-Ton Ammunition boxes have been added to shops for all weapon types.  For times when a full ton just isn't necessary.

Increased Masculinity:

Medical teams have also indicated that downloading and installing this mod reinforces your sense of manliness and self-worth.  Download and install it, now.
