Issue with Nightmare Redux -- Missing .dat Files?

Greetings. Apologies if this is one of those questions that has an obvious answer -- I've been trolling the internet all afternoon/evening trying to sort it out with no luck, almost as if I'm the only person who's ever encountered this!

I'm running MBBS 6.25 w/ MajorMUD 1.11p and have been playing it, unedited, for the last handful of weeks. Everything is quite functional. In attempting to use Nightmare Redux (while the BBS is down) to do some simple edits, I set the path for the .dat files (which is the default, my BBS directory), and get the same message every time:
wccrace2.dat or wccclas2.dat was not found. Please locate your dat files on the settings screen.
I've tried versions NMR 1.6, 1.6.1, and 1.6.2 (from the Google Source page). All of my .dat files seem to lack the '2', instead having filenames like wccraces.dat, wccclas.dat, etc., etc.

Any help would be massively appreciated!

It's because of the version of MBBS you are running. Nightmare Redux is designed to work with Worldgroup version of MMUD, not MBBS.

Ah-hah! That makes a ton of sense. Thanks for the clarification!
