Thanks for your replies, I must confess Soul that I did not do this, and infact haven't heard of it before. I presumed all u had to do in oxygen was make the weapon and texture it, seeing as it is an inanimate object in the game. That's why I chose a weapon rather than anything else for my first addon. However, it would appear that there is indeed more to it than that. I would appreciate it if you could tell me what that is, as I have trawled through the O2 DOC forum and have not found anything that mentions it. As far as texture problems go USMC sniper I'll check the textures paths in oxygen as you suggested and retry it to see if it works. Thanks both for replying
