Hi Zipman,

Must start my reply as this: "this has been asked/answered 1000 times so use search function"  

In short:

If you want to make your own units with your own textures you have to change the path to the textureon the model  from games default to yours addon texture directory with exactly( !!! ) same lenght as default if you making custom model or overwrite the texture in game files if you want it only for your own use and dont want make standalone unit.

If you want make standalone addon not to change it on games default, copy the model and textures to your custom directory and than come the funny way - config

Best way to learn is to download someones similiar addon - unpack it and look how it was done.

Hope it helps a bit

 they say that about everything.. it might be true, but its not as ARMA IS A EXTREAMLY DIF GAME! (wasent shouting at you zipman)  

Well I can send you an email of an example & i can explain what ive understood so far, also you can ask me stuff & ill "try" tell you what i know (little but enough) if you pass on info you find out? deal or no deal    kinda like a little study groupe..

but basicly im stuck with (in my little list of things to do):

how to make NOHQ textures?

how to make SMDI textures?

& What the hell is A4R4G4B4 textures used in muzzle flashes, & what tool was used..?
