Well see if we cant do it my way, otherwise i think it might get a little confusing. Although, supply depots will only be able to regain supplies by buying it. They will have a option that restores 500 mana for like 100 gold or something.

Also, Smaug and I are having a problem. He has a bunch of models, but he cant show them to me. Neither of us can import them into maps. Maybe one of you guys knows how? If so, PM Smaug AND I and tell us. Then Smaug will send you the model.

i can do it with .mdl editing, have the models been UVWrapped?

All I know about it is that it is a .mdx file

Ask Smaug21 for more details

i export it as a .mdx, i don't have a true UVW unwrap for it, i did apply a UVW box map to it so i could put some simple textures on it. The one Vongimli has, it dosen't have any modifiers on it. I can try and do other things to it if you tell me what you need, i just don't know exactly what i need to do.

Here, this is just a box, with a camo texture that i exported as an .mdl, if this works i can just export the rest as this and send them to you. Can't edit and put a file in a post, so that's the reason for the double post.

importing models is easy, assigning custom models the correct skin is harder.

ok, box is working fine, i dont ahve the camo skin but i got it in game and working.

well, if it works, tell vongimli what you did so he can take a look at the models and tell me what i need to change.

i cant really teach .mdl editing... theres a few tutorials out there that can do it a helluva lot better than i can.

Btw, American Special Technologies:

Nuclear Strike - Sends a Stratofortress to the target location, the Fortress drops a small nuclear warhead on the target location, then turns around and returns to base.
Stats:
Nuke deals 700 damage to all units (allied and enemy) in a 800 radius.
Costs 1000 gold per shot
180 second cooldown
Requires level 3 Capital
STRATOFORTRESS CAN BE SHOT DOWN BY ANTI AIRCRAFT WEAPONS!

Para Drop - Sends a Stratofortress to drop a series of paratroopers on the target location.
Stats:
Drops 6 - 10 Paratroopers (same stats as level 1 troops) in the area.
Costs 750 Gold per shot
120 second cooldown
CAN ONLY BE TARGETED WITHIN LOS OF AN ALLIED UNIT

Just send me a map with the box in it and working.

just import the box into the map, give it no custom path, import a skin called "camo.blp" give it no path and it should work, all i did was play around with the skin path so i made a dragon box ect.

i guess i'll go see what i can read about .mdl editing maybe i can get the models right before giving them to vongimli.

there was nothing wrong with the model, it was fine as a .mdx, i just toyed around with the skin to make sure there was nothing wrong.

Smaug21
ok so vongimli has to do the stuff before he puts it into a map right?

Alright, but how do i import the skin? I only get the model, but how do I get the skin?

And yes, thanks for showing me that Pheonix, i think i just found out why it wont work. I guess i am only importing the model, so the reason the units didnt show up, yet still attacked, was because they had no skin. So how do I get the skin?
