</StaticImage>

I just need to know what other values have to be changed if your adding a new breaching charge, i cant seem to find any other code linked to breaching charges in the mod that red panda made, and if his work, mine should too by that standard so i've obviously missed something.

Thanks for the reply :)

OKay i figured it out, when inserting a new gui .xml in a mod, copy accross the original xml and add changes too it, then keep the name the same. If you don't, it will use the original game file and not overlay yours on top. This was the issue i had, which is now solved.

Hope this helps someone someday.
