Before I give you your answer, I have a request for you: Please do not reply to your own post like that. "Bumping" posts is against the rules and highly annoying. And there is no conceivable reason for replying just because nobody replied within half an hour. The post never even got off the front page, the usual reason people bump posts, and even when they have a reason it's still aggravating. In the future, please display a little more patience. You should consider yourself lucky if anyone gets back to you within a DAY. We are not all sitting around waiting for people to post; this is not like a chatroom where people hear your immediately or not at all.

That said, I know why you can't get that texture to work. It's because for some strange reason, the BatTroll's texture isn't stored in the same folder as its model like most, it's stored in Textures\BatTroll.blp. *shrugs* No clue why, but nobody ever promised Blizzard would be organized. Anyway, try that.

In one way you are right, but bumping posts instead of posting a whole new topic, regarding the same thing, isn't half bad! With all the spam going on (note: I didn't see this post do this) posts disapear to page 2 within 2 hours!

Bumping ISN'T bad, unless (this is where ur right) it's done 30 mins after originaly posted....

@Troll: It doesn't matter where the files are on your computer. Are you using TFT import manager? If so, do what Supra just said. If not....get TFT... :)
