I'm looking for a tutorial on how to get the house colors to appear on a unit, I've got the unit, that was the easy bit. Now I'm skinning it and none of the tutorials I've found bother even talking about how you give units house colors.

Either a brief explanation or a link to a tutorial that does talk about house colors.

Yes I searched, an no I didnt find anything relivant that didn't link to a none exsistant tutorial or suffered from broken links.

If the people who have written tutorials would like to add this to their tutorials no doubt it'll improve them no end.

modellers do that by naming objects 'HOUSECOLOR01'

You know I've tried that and it hasn't worked so I'm guessing theres something I'm missing.

I just replaced the Comanche to see what it looked like and the sections didn't appear.

Do I have to specify there location or just the name ?

If its the name I just named everything the same the Comanche and exported it using the comanche name.

Dropped it in the data folder and viewed it in the game. It appeared ( without a texture because I didn't place the texture in the folder because I was more interested in seeing the mesh ) and the sections named as the "housecolor" didn't appear.
