additionally i receive this error message when i do
Expression : fatal error

First, I don't think you can start it off with wpn_valkerie_m1 since unless I'm mistaken, there's no wpn_valkerie to begin with. If you're basing it off the Val, you'd have to start with [wpn_val_m(#)]:wpn-valkerie replacing (#) with the next number in line for unique val-type weapons.

Then you have to have wpn-valkerie defined inside your weapons.ltx(I think that's its name, I can't check since I'm at work).

Then, instead of

inv_name = wpn-valkerie_m1
inv_name_short = wpn-valkerie_m1

You'd need

inv_name = wpn-val_m(#)
inv_name_short = wpn-val_m(#)

You'll also need to put it in your text definitions file so it correctly references wpn_val_m(#) for its.. I totally forget the name of that one, but you probably know what I'm talking about.

Other than that, what you have there appears correct...

I hope this at least gets you moving in the right direction. Once I get home from work, I'll open up my gamedata folders and doublecheck the filenames and references for you.

this might sound stupid but did you forget to add your wpn.dds file in to the folder? I kept getting an error because I forgot to do so

I think your first line is wrong, "[wpn_valkerie_m1]:wpn-valkerie", should look like this I believe, "[wpn_valkerie_m1]:wpn_val". I didn't see a prob with the rest. You inv. names are right. That's the way it should be.

Just like the others said, you must base you should call the wepon "val", i think that could be the problem.

I fact call all ur uniques "wpn_(name)_m(number)"
it doesnt affect what the weapon description or name will be, so it's better.

Also as Brusher said, ur line is really wrong> it has to say wpn_val not wpn-wal

:bawl::bawl::bawl:my new file im starting
[wpn_valkerie_m1]:wpn_val
