OK, I am trying to duplicate a weapon using Deadly_Shadows tutorial. I am not using SE because I want to make a completely new item. Here is what I did:

1. Extracted BG with HMT
2. created new folder in weapons called newweap
3. coppied rocket launcher.weap.xml and rocket launcher.weap.meta to newweap folder
4. renamed launcher.weap.xml to newweap.weap.xml and launcher.weap.meta to newweap.weap.meta
5. changed line 6 in newweap.weap.meta from
<Filename>weapons\rocket launcher\rocket launcher</Filename>
to
<Filename>weapons\newweap\newweap</Filename>
6. coppied rocket launcher.itmc.xml and rocket launcher.itmc.meta item collections\single weapons
7. renamed launcher.itmc.xml to newweap.itmc.xml and launcher.itmc.meta to newweap.itmc.meta
8. I added the location in the bloodgulch.scnr.xml
9. I rebuilt the map using HMT while adding the new files.

When I rebuild and add the item collections\single weapons\newweap.itmc.xml HMT quits.
If I leave that file out it rebuilds but in game I just get an exception error.
I have duplicated vehicles just fine but not weapons.
