About this mod

Increases all Mechs' max tonnage limit to 9999.

Permissions and credits
NOTICE: VANILLA GAME ONLY

This mod simply changes the .json files in the chassis file folder and nothing more. I went in and manually changed each and every Mech' chassis that is in the vanilla game totalling 62 files. There is no need for ModTek or any other DLL Injector programs, just copy and paste or drag and drop the files into the correct folder listed below. In total there should be all 63 files, including the non-modified blank chassis template file.

BEFORE YOU DO THIS PLEASE, PLEASE BACKUP YOUR GAME
That goes for any other mods that might be installed, its good practice with little hassle.

...> steamapps>common>BATTLETECH>BattleTech_Data>StreamingAssets>data>chassis

When prompted, overwrite all of the files that pop up.

Only 2 lines were modified: "Tonnage" and "InitialTonnage".

Tonnage changed from original amount to "9999".

InitialTonnage changed from original amount to 0.

Compatibility: Since this only modifies the chassis folder, I'd say its compatible with anything that doesn't  modify the chassis folder itself. If there are mods that do then load this last, as it will overwrite the 2 lines that are modified.

Note: The game must not be running when this is done, if it is nothing will go wrong but the changes will not appear until after the game is closed and reopened again. To my knowledge no new save games are necessary.

Additional file:
All Jump Jets will not work properly unless manually changed in 

...>steamapps>common>BATTLETECH>BattleTech_Data>StreamingAssets>jumpjets

from which I made another file that remedies this issue.

The lines changed in each one besides the blank Jump Jet template are:

"Max Tonnage"

Max Tonnage changed from original amount to "9999".
