Weapon config running errors (please help!!)

[peteweir 11]

Hi, im relatively new to editing, and have recently been tweaking a few of the weapon config addons in the ac130 mod.

I been using note pad, and have adjusted a few values, e.g. bullet spread, burst length, BUT whenever I try to run arma2 with these slightly moddified files, it always comes up with the same error message saying something like.... Data file too short 'addons\L60_bofors_cannon.pbo'. Expected - 1874627749 B, got 6163440 B

It's really starting to irritate me now because I only want to change tiny features!!

Any help would be much apreciated

cheers
