[Zhao]

did you put down cinimatic battle masters or regular ones?
Did you mod the W3D files?

[Genrail]

i used the regular ones, Because i never understood what the cinimatic units did.

I see what you did there

I don't know much about map.ini coding, but I modified CodeCat's coding for the Terrorist War Fortress shell to fit the Battlemaster tank. Create a text file called map.ini, paste the following code inside it, then put this file into your map's folder.

This is a replace module for the battlemaster's art coding, which forces the game to hide the muzzle flash object on the 3d model. Make sure that you are using the China Battlemaster tank, not Nuke General's or any of the other ones. Otherwise you will need to change the object name to the correct one. Or you could make four copies of this, one for each individual battlemaster tank.

Also note that this will make your map incompatible with mods that modify the appearance of the battlemaster tank in any way.
