Stumped on weapons mod creation

[Direwolf007]

Alright. I've begun to work on a weapons mod I did long ago but never released, only to find out it doesn't work anymore ?!

 

I changed the weapon stats for most weapons, increasing the engagement ranges to more realistic, modern-day military ranges for personal combat (being a former infantryman, an assault rilfe shooting 60m was too much to bear).

 

I did the changes a long time ago (shortly after the release of UFO:AM) the quit the game.

 

I came back to play it now, after finishing my military service, I tried to do the same.

 

unpacked the gamedata.vfs file with vfstool.

 

changed the values.

 

packed the stuff back into the gamedata.vfs and.... NOTHING. The weapon do not change.

 

I tried to create a special vfs external archive following the instructions in the Altar mod-instructions. NOTHING.

 

Tried to reinstall and patch gamedata.vfs again. still nothing.

 

Tried another external *.vfs file. NOTHING.

 

I even named the file as my Altar tutorial tells me (mod*.vfs) and still nothing.

 

I did a search on the forums, found someone with a similar problem, but the solution there was "read the manual". Which I did, and it did not work for me

 

HELP !
