I have no idea what have happened but the updater doesnt want to save your IDF mod, I can install it. but as soon as close the window (save & play) it removes your mod from the list? :S edit: well, something else is going on here, now nothing works for me in sabow so im gonna test a clean install. so forget that i wrote anything But i did told you guys my computer dont like sabow You are not alone. I have the same problem as you.

Importing Centurion attempt one: Miserable failure Detailed breakdown- 1- Panda X plugin failed right off the bat 2- Centurion model only recognizes a ".tga" file as the skin, not the .dds file needed for the game Import... Failed Attempt... Terminated I have no idea what the hell I'm doing

Did do something like this? Simply unsure how big models pick up texture in sabow apos. it is probably something simple as those usually seem to trip me up the most.

Hi, I dredged up this 'gem' of information from the modtools manual. I wonder if it will help: 1.4.3 Change of Object Material
To change a material of existing geometrical objects (vehicles, soldiers, constructions, green, etc.) a command tex_changer is used. An example of a change of material:
starter.exe tex_changer, users\modwork\mesh.loc_def.mesh, ginf_dift, ginf_norsp
The file of geometry (with extension mesh) is transferred as a first parameter, the name of color and transparence textures (without prefix, but with suffix "dift") – as a second one. The normal, brightness, shininess, and roughness textures (without prefix, but with suffix "norsp") are transferred as a last parameter. This command cannot be called without parameters! That's assuming you've imported the model successfully, I think,

Terminated I have no idea what the hell I'm doing Now that you've actually tried it, you might want to look again at the vehicle import guide for Steel Fury, it might make more sense now: http://graviteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=60.0(Take note of section 1.9)

Whukid...........EEK Ya no clue. Perhaps installed wrong? Kyth, yes I use that command and have a .cmd file for each model I have made. But it does not seem to want to pick up vehicles and complex models. On the smaller stuff, rifles and grenades it does not seem to matter one way or the other as texture path is configured under addins. Big stuff has nothing like this that I have found, it is quite the question for me. But ya the .50 works correct, just the texture issue remains. On my f5 I have my dummies set up all wonky and need to sit down it figure it out. Just time and messing with it till its right. However when I attempted to make a air spotter unit I was unable to call in air support.......another issue. But still have alot of loose ends on my missions and few left on mini mod and they have priority for me right now =)

Simple installation bug. Luckily, Yl9661027 stepped in and offered to handle the ".x,.go2, and .dds" problem. I'll compact it in the mesh and send it into the game

You might need to convert the dds to atf before assigning the texture, just a thought,

Attempt 2; Failed. It seems as though the .mesh file isn't being recognized by the game.

Was there any error message? At the import, at the conversion?

Was each LOD exported out as X file and named in convention mod tools use?

The only error message came when I was attempting to use it in game and it was the good ole' "001".
Everything was exported to .X file, but I'm not sure if they were all combined into the .Mesh or not; I didn't really check to see what was included in it. (yl9661207 donated the .mesh file that was created from the model.) Ah well, Another attempt will come shortly!

Yea, but I'm still figuring it out. It's a headache, and with the coming patch it's just easier to release the updated version as it is.

Good work! Add a new unit is a long process. There is no time limit. So you don't have to worry. If you need I help you, please tell me. Maybe I not only can make models.
