By placing a file into SH3Cmdr's !BACKUP folder, you are forcing SH3Cmdr to believe that it has backed up the file from SH3, meaning that when a user next runs SH3Cmdr, your backup file will be restored back into SH3, as SH3Cmdr (rightfully) considers it an original source file that it backed up itself. Everyone who installs the mod will end up with your backed up zones.cfg file as their default game file, regardless of what mod they are running.

I wanted to see if I could add probability to the following section thus making conning tower injuries a little more interesting and varied,

OpenComp=1
PartiallyOpenComp=0.5
EnclosedComp=0.1

I used the same set up as adding ammo etc but this time sh3 commander would not allow the setup,

Not sure if basic cfg is protected or this is because of the 0.5 or my layout was wrong.

Try:
[0_data\Cfg\Basic.cfg]
FileType=T
DAMAGE|OpenComp=I|1|?|Y
DAMAGE|PartiallyOpenComp=F1|0|1|Y
DAMAGE|EnclosedComp=F1|0|1|Y

Or:
[0_data\Cfg\Basic.cfg]
FileType=T
ChooseFrom=xx
RndMidPat=1
0_DAMAGE|OpenComp=1.0
0_DAMAGE|PartiallyOpenComp=0.5
0_DAMAGE|EnclosedComp=0.1
1_DAMAGE|OpenComp=1.0
1_DAMAGE|PartiallyOpenComp=0.3
1_DAMAGE|EnclosedComp=0.1
2_DAMAGE|OpenComp=1.0
2_DAMAGE|PartiallyOpenComp=0.7
2_DAMAGE|EnclosedComp=0.3
etc
