Personnally, I'd rather like a well written post (ie: infentry ? sprit ? help when I was adding [...] ?), than one constantly asking for HELP... If someone creates a thread, most of the time it's because s/he have a problem that eventually we can solve, so no need to to remind at every line s/he needs help...

Anyway, I need to increase my post count, so here's some basic answer :

1) Every infantry shp needs a Sequence (search for it in art(md).ini and you'll have an example). This section is needed, because infantry can have a different sequence (ie: no attack frames, no death frames, etc.).
Generally, the asset's creator puts it in its readme file. Otherwise, you'll have to create it manually all by yourself. I think ArgCmdr can help you much more if needed, even though you could simply view the shp via XCC, count each frame, and complete the section thx to XGamer's Art guide (or is it Gamemate ?).

2) The cameo's part is located in : art(md).ini > [YOURUNIT] > Cameo=
Although you can use any name, it is advised you stick with WW's system, that's to say YOURUNITICON and YOURUNITUICO for AltCameo= (elite). Then just make sure you have the corresponding *.shp cameo file.
