Forum:Trouble modding a serpens into PC borderlands.

OK, so before anyone gets on their high horse, I do not play borderlands in multiplayer, and I never intend to. And if I did, I'd start fresh. Modding/cheating in multiplayer is dumb.

However, I do like to blow things up in the comfort of my solo games (Did the same thing in Diablo 2), which leads to my current problem: For some reason, I cannot mod a Serpens into my game. I've modded several orange guns into the game, a shield & a COM unit, and as far as Pearls go I already made a Tsunami. But for some reason I cannot get a serpens to load into the game, despite GearCalc saying it's legit. I've tried several combinations of different parts that I thought might be the cause of the problem, but none of them appear in game when I load my save. After fiddling around in Willowtree it seems it thinks something's wrong w/ them too, as it says "Expected Damage: 0".

For an example, from GearCalc:

dlc3_gd_customweapons.Pearlescent_Weapons.CustomWeap_SupportMG_SandSSerpens gd_manufacturers.Manufacturers.SandSMunitions gd_weap_support_machinegun.A_Weapon.WeaponType_support_machinegun gd_weap_combat_rifle.Body.body5 gd_weap_combat_rifle.Grip.grip3 gd_weap_support_machinegun.mag.mag2 gd_weap_combat_rifle.Barrel.barrel5 gd_weap_support_machinegun.Sight.sight1 gd_weap_combat_rifle.Stock.stock5 None dlc3_gd_weap_UniqueParts.SupportMachineGun.acc4_SandS_Serpens dlc3_gd_weap_UniqueParts.SupportMachineGun.SandSSerpens_Material gd_weap_support_machinegun.Prefix.Prefix_Kick1_Glorious dlc3_gd_weap_UniqueParts.Title.TitleP_SandS_Serpens 1 2 0 24

I export that to Willowtree & when I save changes it lists it as a Glorious Serpens, so I'd think it would be correct. However, it still says Expected Damage: 0, and upon loading my saves the weapon is gone. If I save the game & return to WT, the gun is not in my inventory, as you would imagine.

I tried googling for how to fix this business but I couldn't find jack, and the Modding site doesn't seem to have any forums near as I can tell, so this was the best place I could think of. Any help would be appreciated.
