Post subject:  My mod wont load, help please?

I just started modding on Cortex Command. Thought creating my first weapon should be an easy task. The sprite was simple enough, and the coding for the weapon I just stole from the Coalition Gatling gun replacing the sprite locations with my ones.
But when I put it into the Cortex Command folder and start it up I keep getting this error:

"Abortion in file .\System\ContentFile.cpp, line 549, because;
Failed to load datafile object with following path and name:
ThirdReichLabs.rte/Devices/MG-15/MG-15000
The last frame has been dumped to 'abortscreen.bmp'"

The thing is that I dont have a file called MG-15000 or anything along those lines. So I was wondering if someone could take a look at the folder and see where I went wrong and help me correct it? :???:

Keep in mind it is still a work in progress, still working on the module icon but the name for the faction is all good. :?

You based this off a gatling gun's ini. The original gatling gun had multiple frames, for spinning. It had 3 pictures, each at different stages of spinning. You still had FrameCount = 3 in your ini so it will look for ThirdReichLabs.rte/Devices/MG-15/MG-15000.bmp, ThirdReichLabs.rte/Devices/MG-15/MG-15001.bmp, etc. for that. You need to make more frames for it or change the frame count to 1.
