I'll make sure to user added image

what areas are your expanding?

thats good user added image

a full blown tutorial on making models for BK would be a great (and is a very needed) thing.

the error it gives me is a black screen and it says "script error '7' not enough memory" or something, and on other models, it says "script error 'some number'" but i have enough space on my PC lol

Thats a weird error it could be related to the models size. I think i mentioned that my russian su-34 crashed the tanks viewer because it was extremely detailed over 9k polys and i believe ive got the same error. Should be fine in resource editor when editing it.

Hi Dunkel,

Before I can give exact tips on the resource editor I need to know a bit more info on that unit : does it contain a single 1.mod file , is it a spg type unit , do you have all the necessary resource editor files ? Btw tutorial should answer most resource editor questions but really the resource kit does that user added image

I wish I can help you out right now even more at this time but I need to get my sleep I am kind of tired had a long day. :zzz:

I have all the unit mshs from the resource kit, its a single 1.mod spg type made from the regular semovente in BK, it uses the same skin so that makes it a tad bit easier user added image

ok, i've figured out how to use the resource editor on new models user added image

now my problem is it tells me i have to many nodes above something.. i forget and im to tired to go back and get to all that to recreate it, but i think it was because i didnt have any of my locators parented to anthing, but once i did that i exported it, and nothing for the shoot points or any of the locator points, i parented them all to the chassis of the SPG, what should i have parented them to? user added image

or what could be wrong?
