No, it doesn't involve about alpha channels. I edited a Ranger and gave it a new rifle along with it's capture animation which includes the new rifle so it won't revert back to their stick rifles. But when I build it, it's invisible, as in nothing but dust trails walking. What usually causes this and how can I fix this in RenX?

I'd be happy to send my edited Ranger if anyone can check this out for me.

Thanks,
Indigo

Did you eventually rename the .w3d you´ve exported from RenX? Say like when you exported it you named it "NEWRNGR.w3d" (or whatever) and then changed the filename to "AIRNGR_skn.w3d".
This is the mein reason something like this happened to me, as the modelnames in the INIs don´t seem to refer to the filename itself but moreover to an objectname included in the files.

Yes, I make sure the exact renamed filename is in the INI code as well. I guess this somehow related to RenX? But I don't understand, I made other infantry with new rifles and they just sometimes don't appear. :(

I'm using Coolfile's w3d import btw.

most probably a texturing problem. i faced it once too.i redid the whole texture and the unit showed up ingame.

justa heads up: if you rename the file after you have exported it it will corrupt and also how long as the file name?

Remember it can't be more than 15 characters.

yea other wise it cut s abit off ( i had that problem wiv my Gunshipchinook.w3d) i mad eit GChinook.w3d and it worked.

Thanks guys, it's ok now.

also dont forget to use the generals naming convention like NV, NI, UI, UV, AV, AI. indicating vehicles and infantry for each side.

[Golan]

Is this really necessary? Always thought it was just to make it easier to find a special unit´s texture.

also if poeple look thro ur mod files it makes u look more proffeional.
