What files have you downloaded? What does the documentation of the

Where *exactly* did you put them?

Come with concrete facts, instead of letting us fill in the dots.

Ah. That's quite possible - I have the patch. Unless anyone knows of
another exploding ammo mutator, I'll contact the author for more advice.
