Yeah I know this has been asked but I need to know why my effin building is invisible. It was actually working earlier today and I messed with the expandmdXX names and such and now it won't show up. And yes i can build it and everything but the building shows up. The icon shows up the right name shows up and the prerequisite works just fine. Help would be nice.

Building names should begin with either G (Allied), N (Soviet) or C (Civilian) for RA2, and for Yuri's Revenge, Y (Yuri). Otherwise you can't count on the building showing up, especially if it is to be palyer-buildable.

GANAME - arctic
GTNAME - temperate
GUNAME - urban
GDNAME - desert (YR)
GLNAME - lunar (YR)
GNNAME - newurban (YR)
GGNAME - generic

New buildings that don't leave rubble would require only GGNAME and GANAME versions. If a building is to leave rubble, the rubble frame uses a theater-specific palette, so you really would have to make the whole list of building versions (but then you don't need GGNAME of course).

If you are replacing an existing building, you should check to see all the theater-specific versions that exist - since GGNAME never overrides a theater-specific version.

Taken from another thread on here regarding invisible buildings, have you tried an Arctic map, cause the above would seem to suggest that you've only got Arctic SHP's defined so it will only show up on those maps.

I'd load it up and play an arctic map and see what happens.

ok thanx but i did get it working but now any new base defense i try to put in...the base(the shp part) of thatt building wont show up but the turret will...no problems as far as weapons go. everything works besides buildup and the base of the turret showing up.
