Mod Installation Instructions:
If you have installed the original v0.1 release then you will need to remove the lines added to VersionManifest.csv prior to this installation, so please see below for which lines were added and remove them first.
You could also go ahead and remove all the files added for cleanliness, but leaving them won't make any difference as we won't be loading them anymore anyway.
v0.2 release attempts to bring a little more organisation to the mod's setup and uses the slowly becoming standard method of mod management within self contained folders in a mod directory.
Download the v0.2 zip file and unzip to the StreamingAssets folder
(Steam default installation: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BATTLETECH\BattleTech_Data\StreamingAssets )
You shouldn't be prompted to overwrite anything and if you didn't have one before you should now have a mods folder containing an unde\starleague_weapons folder.
Sadly until a good tool becomes available you'll still have to modify the VersionManifest file yourself.
( Steam install default location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BATTLETECH\BattleTech_Data\StreamingAssets\data\VersionManifest.csv )
I greatly recommend using Notepad++ for this, which is a free advanced but lightweight simple text editor, a lot of people have problems trying to edit with just notepad.
( Notepad++ official page: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ )
Add the following to the end of the file (BUT BEFORE THE FINAL COMMA)
shopdef_Ammo_starleague,ShopDef,mods/unde/starleague_weapons/shops/shopdef_Ammo_starleague.json,0,,,,,FALSE,0,FALSE
shopdef_Components_starleague,ShopDef,mods/unde/starleague_weapons/shops/shopdef_Components_starleague.json,0,,,,,FALSE,0,FALSE
shopdef_Weapons_blackmarket_starleague,ShopDef,mods/unde/starleague_weapons/shops/shopdef_Weapons_blackmarket_starleague.json,0,,,,,FALSE,0,FALSE

Gear_HeatSink_Stack,HeatSinkDef,mods/unde/starleague_weapons/heatsinks/Gear_HeatSink_Stack.json,0,,,,,False,0,False
Gear_HeatSink_Ultralight,HeatSinkDef,mods/unde/starleague_weapons/heatsinks/Gear_HeatSink_Ultralight.json,0,,,,,False,0,False
(ENSURE YOU STILL HAVE A LINE UNDERNEATH CONTAINING A SINGLE COMMA)
And you'll also need to add the following at the beginning of the file on line 2
(So just after the line that reads id,type,path,version,addedOn,updatedOn,removedOn,assetBundleName,assetBundlePersistent,assetBundleCRC,addendum)
Gear_HeatSink_Generic_Double,HeatSinkDef,mods/unde/starleague_weapons/heatsinks/Gear_HeatSink_Generic_Double.json,0,,,,,False,0,False
