Yeah, seems that deleting all files in the RenderedItems got the weapons to show up in the editor now, thanks for that.

Yup, it should've been moved into the AZP archive when the patch was run. And i made it as simple as I could with the fix, that's why those files are outside. But for the next release they'll be packed in the BSM.AZP archive.

Sounds good to me, I was just wondering considering that now I have a BMP folder that only holds the fixes.

Once the new skill system has been tested and approved, I'll release a new version of the mod, including all the fixes as well. I've had some time to play it and found that some of the weapon attachments should appear earlier in the game, and I seem to have forgotten to add the new EOTech to the shops.

I have several questions about items thusfar...

Is "the new EOTech" something besides the EOTech Holosight 552? I noticed that it does not have the bright red reticle in its 3D model, while the "EOTech Collimator" does... either way though, the Aimpoint Collimator Desert at this time rules them all and I wouldn't use any other atop my "WR" gun.

Possible balance issue -- why is the UMP40 higher damage (45-76) and higher accuracy (3 than the UMP45 (13-68, Acc 36)? Also wondering where you're getting your damage numbers on some of the Short-Barreled Rifles (SBR), i.e. the SCAR-L CQB having higher damage than the HK416 10.5-inch despite them having almost identical barrel length.

Also, Is the HK416 10-inch w/ Foregrip supposed to be a fixed-stock weapon? *Also finds it amusing... though odd... that by default it comes with a C-Mag* Mainly wondering since it seems to be one of the only shortie-M4s in 5.56x45, and some of the claimed damage numbers are confusing-seeming. (Can you tell I have a thing for SBRs yet? )

From what the "Diagram" explanation of weapon ballistics shows me, there's no benefit to sticking magnifying optics (i.e. the ACOG) onto short-barreled weapons? I see that the apparent accuracy for hipfire and snapshots goes down, while the "using optic" accuracy is always just below the "standard" line (I assume meaning 'maximum theoretical accuracy'). In contrast, the laser increases hipfire accuracy -- though why not snapshot? -- and a "reflex"/"red dot"/"collimator" sight increases snapshot accuracy, though I don't see anything that affects 'aimed' accuracy...
