RSRDC screwed up my deck guns. Possible Bug

before you blame rsrdc, the first thing to do when things stop working right is to investigate your files.

the most common problem found is called "mod soup" its when over time all the mods you have installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled have left files behind they werent supposed to so you get files not belonging to any mod mixing with other mods corrupting data. sometimes, and i think most times it is from you changing a file while some mod is still installed. this causes jsgme to not see it as the same file so it doesnt swap it out when you uninstall the mod. this also leaves the original file the mod replaced in the backup files in jsgme and that can corrupt a file saved there by the same name. you can see where all this is going and it happens to everyone sooner or later.

step one is purge all mods from jsgme and delete them to be replaced with brand new fresh copies from the download or from your documents files.

step two is to purify your game files by deleting the entire data folder and replacing it with your backup copy of the stock unmodded v1.4 or v1.5 game you use. if you didnt preserve a backup copy to restore your files then you will need to uninstall and reinstall the whole game, and then make a backup copy of your data folder before doing anything else.

you now know all files are clean so if something still doesnt work then you know its a mod or mod combination doing it.
