How do I associate a graphic file with a model?

Post by Tempest555 »

Okay my MOD for L2D 'Tabby' works in so much I can read it in the EDITOR and have a DC-3 model as an Axis Transport that can be placed on a map. But I can't figure out the naming for the 2 tga graphic files I have to 'skin' the model.
How do I name them? They reside in my MODS/L2D TABBY/Units/Textures Folder

And I have used the names from the
NAME (COLUMN A) c47_skytrain_japan
MODELS (COLUMN F) C47 0 0
COUNTER (COLUMN G) C47_ Japan

in the csv file and the skin doesn't show no matter which of these names I use.
Did a SEARCH and didn't see anything regarding graphic files for aliased units.

I would advise you to use PNG for both the unit pic and texture.

Name column -> pic name
Model column -> textures names
Counter column -> just forget about it for now

:?: I think it's like this - it's been a long time, too, since I've been reskinning stock units. :D
Better to use a new model and the same name for everything. :wink:

PS You should post such requests in the "scenario design" sub-forum.
