Problem with nuke mod

[bobd 0]

I'm running WOV & downloded fubar's nuke mod, but can't get the effects to show. I checked & double checked the flie placement. I've read that opening the the weopondata .ini with the weapon editor to validate it fixes the problem. The weapon editor won't open, it starts then closes. Any help appreciated.

There isnt a Nuke effect for SFP1, so i am presuming thirdwire haven't made one for WOV?

Deuces was appently working on a nuke effect, but his site is not up at the momment, and last time i checked all the files for download had been taken off too.

I had the same problem with the weapon editor, until i downloaded a completely new one, and that seemed to sort that problem out?

Sorry i can't be more more helpful, or precise!

Thanks Chris. I tried the most recent weapons editor with the result. Things just got worse lol. I tried deuces effects mod & now I don't have any nukes (and other stuff) in the weapons load out screen. I think I'll go back & fix things forgetting about the Mk43 mod. I don't know much about all these mods, & many are really cool (love the dirty smoke). I'm wondering if they need to be added in a certain sequence so they don't effect each other.

In addition to installing Deuces, or FUBAR512's Nuke Effects ( which make changes to the particle system .ini file, you also have to change the bomb entries in the weaponsdata.ini. Here's a list prepared by Gaston of what entries he uses each time a new weapons pack comes out :
