General-Commander · 05-01-2003, 11:18 AM

I have added the apache as a separate unit, but when i try to use it in the game it's invisible, besides every upgrade icon disapeard.

Did someone add the apache Succesfully? If so, can you give me a hand

Thanks

did you make sure to point the game to the right file? And you have undamaged and damaged skins for it to right?

you mean that Apache don't work when add as a new-unit? (it should be a replacement of comanche. you know that, right?)
I really want to try, but I don't know how to add a new-unit

can someone help?
It work fine when you replace the comanche, right? because mine is working fine.

I think it is a dds issue as inthe game cant find the model so it createsit as invisible. but thats only a guess from what I have gotten so far

Did you re-name the model file??
The model name and the file name need to match or otherwise generals won't load the model properly.

What upgrades are you using? If the model is hiding something that isn't attached correctly it will sometimes leave the whole unit invisible. Kinda cool but not practical. Check your model in RenX and see if the parts are named right too. By the way the tail rotor seems to have something that casts a strange shadow or atleast from what I've experienced. By the way if tor3203 is reading this I can tell you how to make a new unit, just put up a new post if you haven't figured it out yet.

this apache replaces the comanche right?
so you renamed the AVComanche to AVApache or soemthing right?
well that doesnt work.

You cant rename models, if you want it to have a different name, youll need to import it into RenX, and then export it again with a different name

It hard to know what is the real problem when we are 100 miles away.

Well here's my version of the imported Apache. Just don't use it to replace the comanche because there will likely be problems. And don't give it the rocket pod upgrade. This is an older version with some 3d shadows problems and if you hide the rocket pods the whole model is hidden. Just think up something else to upgrade it with. I used the composite tank upgrade since everywhere I look the Apache is called a flying tank. If you still can't place it in then something is probably wrong with the ini files.
