I have downloaded the UGX WeaponsEditor++ and still no luck. The program opens no problem and doesn't ask me to locate the root folder at all, I tried clicking on the mods folder in the UGX WeaponsEditor++ and it comes up with
[8:30:29 AM] Could not find folder inside your root folder. Is your root folder set correctly in the Windows Registry?
I know my mods folder is in the right place as most of my custom maps do work except some UGX ones, that's why I downloaded UGX Map Manager.
