How do I install a weapon modification correctly if it was made way before the nightlies and the creator hasn't updated it for the new nightlies?

you just extract them to a subdirectory under mods instead of into the old data directory.  they should need no internal reorganization.  did you move the folders inside the mod around? the file it's looking for is Resources/Magnum/Magnum.gif, but in your screenshot I see Resources/Magnum.gif and no Magnum subdirectory.

This seemed to work. Thanks
