Using existing 3d weapon model with new skin..

[+russouk2004]

I want to make a sand skin for typhoon fuel tanks....

I have the skin done...

I forget how I go about getting the lod to accept a new named bmp...

I copied the lod...renamed to Desert_Tank.lod

edited the lod,renaming the entry for the bmp (made sure it was same amount of characters...saved it...but no joy...only original grey tank shows up...

short of making a new tank model...any ideas?..

cheers

ps craig if u read this ...have you still got the fuel tank 3d model perhaps?

Sounds like you did right. Two possible things...

 

Are the Typhoon tanks perma-fixed to the 3D Typhoon model?

 

Did you do the Weapon Editor thing with the new LOD?

[+Wrench]

Did you create a new weaponsdata entry for the Desert tank???

 

make sure the lod pointer is to the new desert_tank.lod

Typhoon tank is a seperate entity...
