Art code must be solvable!

I've been reading INI files for the last couple of hours and there is too much generals code in this game for it NOT to allow w3ds models and textures to be placed ingame.

There is even airfield support for God sake. So it must just be something we're missing that will unlock all of this.

(like praying to God here) Deezire if you read this please make this a priority to get this info from "the team." No other steps can be taken without at least some clues on how to get our models ingame.

My mind is a flurry of ideas for new units. There truly is so much provided here to work with. Though I wish there were a few more damage types, At least some unused ones.

Though I have a feeling if we used some Generals types they may work. I bet there is alot more included that what the notes on the INI files are letting on.

The problem is the assest.dat file, Deezire already briefed everyone on the problem in this thread.

I still believe there must be a work around it. Dee has been quiet these last few days, let's hope he has something when he comes back.

I have a feeling there is something beyond just the asset.dat file because even saving over existing models in the .big's doesn't work. Something else is awry here.

I think we just have to be allittle patient. They of course designed it for us to use as modders. I feel Kelso is right. Just need some UberModders to figure this stuff out for us. Eager as we are there is still alot we can mod for now. Just to test the waters.

I've written some tutorials to get newbies by. Find them at The 3rd Age.Net/Beginners

I've tested my tutorials and they seem to work. Also alot of good tools there. If you find any bugs or errors please contact me at hostile@crisisnow.com.

Actually they didn't design it for modders. Infact it seems they are trying to destroy the mod community. The real reason ini files were started and continue to be used is because it eases development. Not everyone has to be a C++ coder to balance or implement new units. Hopefully its just because of some retarded deal with New Line and RA3 won't use this asset crap.
