Apparently you did not do everything right.
Make sure that the names of the texture files are properly stated in the bmdb file.
It would help a lot if you gave more details, like posting the parts of the bmdb and edu that are particular to that unit.

the unit and units info is right and the unit appears in custom battles the nams and the tribute and also i revise the files and it's location when the battle starts the models are units are invisible

is it possible that TATW .mesh file doesn't work in m2tw or kingdoms???

[Medusa0]

Did you add the entry to the end of the BMDB? There is a possibility that the last few entries in the file will yield invisible units on the battlefield, you can prevent that from happening by sticking several dummy (unused) entries down there as buffer.

No, if it is right, it is right.
Try the recommendation of Medusa0 and if this does not solve your problem then upload all the files that are relevant to your unit-model, the milkshape files, the mesh files, the textures, the bmdb and the edu and I will give them a good look.

Have you increased this part of the BMDB as you haven't mentioned it?
22 serialization::archive 3 0 0 0 0 713 0 0
Your's will be different to mine so if I added two extra models it would need to be increased by 2 to 715. It won't crash the game if an upg is beyond the serialisation count but that is usually when you get invisible models.

17 venetian_infantry? look in the BMDB and make sure this unit is not already there, if it is and its before the one you have added it will use that one and ignore yours.
