modding ROP

i wanted to replace the spartans (the more elite ones) with atg's spartans from spqr because i prefer my spartans to have a secoundry weapon sword for close combat, i don't know how histrocal this is. i've done this stuff before and got it working fine so i changed the spartans to have a sec att sword in export_desc_unit. Then looked at desc_moddle_battle and swapped the model in ROP folder to the atg spartan keeping the same name. But i think the problem is the texture its been packed so i went to the packs folder unpacked it with xpak but doesn't have the ROP unit textures in it so i just put a atg texture in the normal model_unit/textures and changed the desc_moddle_battle to match but i just get a ctd when loading up the game. So my question is where are the texture files for the ROP units in this mod i can't find them its probly just stupid old me

The textures are in the mod_0.pak, that comes with the beta (data\packs folder). You need to extract it with xpak. Here are the commands you need to use in your shortcut:

"x:/blabla/xpak.exe" -mkdir mod_0.pak

and then:
"x:/blabla/xpak.exe" mod_0.pak

uhh sorry to be such a newbie but were do i stick that -mkdir mod_0.pak command in which shortcut? i normally just put the xpak.exe and .bat in the right folder and then click on the .bat and it does it all for me
