Modding Amunition

[jrhmurray]

Hi

I am new to modding and I just wanted to alter the quantities in ammo. I found this folder.

D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\BATTLETECH\BattleTech_Data\StreamingAssets\data\ammunitionBox

I just wanted to change the quantitities\capacity of ammo from 15 to 20

"AmmoID" : "Ammunition_AC5",
"Capacity" : 20,
"Description" : {

I started a new campaign but new quantities don't show, what other files do I need to change?



Edit: Worked out what was wrong.

Now that I managed to get the amunition working, I decided to design my own UAC/5. I downloaded the standard UAC/5 from Github website and made a few changes. One of those changes was to change the rarety from 99 to 1. I thought that this might make it a more common weapon.

I started a new career to see if the change would work but after 12 months my new weapon never appeared anywhere.

Next I tried to change the standard UAC/5 to see if that would to reflect the changes I wanted to make but again this weapon never appeared anywhere.

I think this is Java and I don't actually know how to program in Java but what I did do was look at other peoples mods and try to figure out what I had to do, so I am maybe doing something totally wrong.

Is there a kind soul out there who could look at what I have done and tell me what I have done wrong.
