problem porting rtw skins into bi

[jjca]

I imported some skins into BI, Praetorian Cohort, Triarii, and Infantry Auxillia, but while they look good when close up, when you back off of them with the camera they seem to disappear, with only their shadows remaining but not the body. Anyone have an idea what might be wrong?

Sounds like you've not added the sprites.

type slave_lesser_general
skeleton fs_dagger
skeleton_horse fs_hc_swordsman
skeleton_elephant fs_forest_elephant_rider
skeleton_chariot fs_chariot_sword
skeleton_camel fs_hc_swordsman
indiv_range 40
texture slave, data/models_unit/textures/unit_rebel_lesser_general.tga
model_flexi_m data/models_unit/unit_rebel_lesser_general_high.cas, 15
model_flexi_m data/models_unit/unit_rebel_lesser_general_med.cas, 30
model_flexi_m data/models_unit/unit_rebel_lesser_general_low.cas, 40
model_flexi_m data/models_unit/unit_rebel_lesser_general_lowest.cas, max
model_sprite 60.0, data/sprites/slave_lesser_general_sprite.spr
model_tri 400, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5

you have to add sprites, aswell as the skin and model. Otherwise they dissappear at long distance.

I put the sprite for Praetorian Cohort in the proper folder.

Have you added the sprite line to the descr_model_battle entry though?
