Check your code if everything is correct Namely the if the [IDs] match and/or the Image=-tag is correct, and see if your SHP is correctly placed.

yeah i think it is the image tag is wrong(i didn't make one)

If there's no Image= tag and no art(md).ini entry it will be invisible to humans.

yes if u dont have the art it wont be recognized as having an image.
As for the Image= tag its not usually necessary but can help.

It isn't necessary if the art ID has the same name as the asset you are using.

If there is no Image= tag, the game assumes that the art.ini section is named exactly like the rules.ini one.

yes ive made some shp files...but it needs vxl
now it works,but how about my building i cant see that one either
but everything is right(i think).the shp files are correct and also spelled good in the art file

write atr and rules.ini codes here and (if it is possible) publish your SHPs.

We'll try to help
