Find my error? chain spawning projectile swapping

Ok here is what I want to do. Shotgun shooting brute shots instead of shotgun spray and when the brute shot hits, I want it to spawn off three plasma gernades. Okay so this is what I have done.

In insolence I transfered this from headlong to ascention (the map I want the mod for)

effects\objects\gear\covenant\battery\battery_explosion
objects\gear\covenant\military\battery\battery_fragment01\battery_fragment01
objects\gear\covenant\military\battery\battery_fragment02\battery_fragment02
objects\gear\covenant\military\battery\battery_fragment03\battery_fragment03

(I'm not sure what other files Insolence dragged over either? More than this I think....but I didn't manually drag them. This may be my problem in that I need more files for the block but I dont know which ones)

In ascnetion I used Dot halo and successfully switched hte projectile of the shot gut to brute shot and that turned out well. However when I tried to make the brute shot chain spawn using the quick tutorial here:

http://www.halomods.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=30908

It didn't work. Of course I modified the tutorial to switch from frag gernades to the brute shot etc... However when I finished the swapping and then fixed the encryption I Ftped the map back to my box, cleared cache, but when I went to shoot the shot gun it just had its normal shot? not even the brute shot came out of it? All of my other modded weapons worked fine, but the shotgun just reverted back to normal? I dont understand this at all.

Any one feel like giving me a hand? Thx

Good question, but yeah I checked that too several times. it just doesnt make sense to me, why it would cancel out all effects to the shotgun.
