I downloaded some new skins for the Crusader model as I was creating a unit for my mod using the Crusader model but wanted it to look different.
However the unit is invisible.
The files are re-named (by me) BVTank.dds, BVTank_d.dds and BVTank_d1.dds. and are found in Generals/Art/Textures
The part of Factionunit.ini concerning this is:

Draw = W3DTankDraw ModuleTag_01
    DefaultConditionState
      Model               = BVTank
      Turret              = Turret
      WeaponFireFXBone    = PRIMARY TurretMS
      WeaponRecoilBone    = PRIMARY Barrel
      WeaponMuzzleFlash   = PRIMARY TurretFX
      WeaponLaunchBone = PRIMARY TurretMS
    End
    ConditionState       = REALLYDAMAGED
      Model              = BVTank_D
    End
    ConditionState       = RUBBLE
      Model              = BVTank_D1
    End

    TrackMarks           = EXTnkTrack.tga
    TreadAnimationRate      = 2.0  ; amount of tread texture to move per second
    TreadDriveSpeedFraction = 0.3  ; fraction of locomotor speed below which treads stop moving.
    TreadPivotSpeedFraction = 0.6  ; fraction of locomotor speed below which we allow pivoting.
    OkToChangeModelColor = Yes
  End

are you sure the files are in the right places? w3ds go to Art\W3d and skins go to Art\Textures

[Dunenewt]

I am using the Crusader model so do i need to copy the W3D and put it in that place then
Please te;; me if I've got it all wrong

[damo1]

did you change the name of the w3d

[Zainal]

Do you actually have a model called bvtank.w3d? The skin information is contained in the model file so you cant just download a new skin and use it straight away. You'll need to have a model which actually uses it or change an existing model to use it in renx.

[Dunenewt]

Errr...I see whats gone wrong then. I need a BVTank.w3d - it would be a copy of the Crusader one but with the skin info changed then.
Where can I get ' Renx ' ?

[Zainal]

Go to the Renegade website, go to mod tools, you can download it there.

Also was this skin originaly created for the crusader and are you using the normal crusader or the hover one? If it was originaly created for the tank rename the skin to AVLeopard.dds for the normal tank or AVCrusader for the hover one. This will however change every crusader model to the new skin. If you want to keep your current crusader unchanged get Renx.

[Dunenewt]

It was created for the normal one
