    Default Invisible troops in campaign battles...

    I am having a devil of a time with a couple of new units. I have created them OK and they work in every respect by they are invisible on the campaign battles (except for their equipment which floats about nicely) unless I am very close up). They appear just fine in custom battles. Anyone got any suggestions on what the problem is?

    I had this problem once, drove me insane. But bugger me, I can't remember what I did.

    Yes - it's perfect that you replied Beale - your fix was recorded elsewhere by another person and I just found it - it's that the .dds file has to be saved as DTX5 and use mipmaps.

    So, thank you!!!

    Thanks for that. I actually found it was because the skins' .dds file was not saved a specific way which, for some odd reason, has the invisible man effect. Solved now, though.

    Thanks for starting this thread, it helped me . But when you did save it is a DXT5 with gimp, did you save it as ; BC3/DXT5, Alpha Exponent (DXT5), YCoCg (DXT5) or a YCoCg scaled (DXT5)? Because i wasnt sure?
