The_Mighty_Chu

Hello to all you intelligent people! I'm sorry if this is a silly question but i'm a complete noob to modding, so far i'v grabbed all the nessesary files and software to get started. Heres my question. When i open the A3_character_example (3dsMax scene file) into "3ds Max 2014" I get the following message... **************************************************** Missing External Files P:\A3\Characters_F\Data\basicbody_grey_co.tga P:\A3\Characters_F\Heads\Data\hl_white_bald_co.tga P:\A3\Characters_F\Heads\Data\m_white_01_co.tga P:\ca\Characters_F\data\visors_ca.tga P:\ca\Characters_F\Common\Data\nvg_co.tga P:\ca\Characters_F\OPFOR\Data\clothing_rus_co.tga P:\ca\Characters_F\OPFOR\Data\tech_rus_CO.tga P:\ca\Characters_F\BLUFOR\Data\clothing1_co.tga P:\ca\Characters_F\Civil\Data\poor_co.tga P:\ca\Characters_F\Common\Data\TEST_hair_co.tga P:\ca\characters2\usmc\marines\data\usmc_marpatsfgb_co.tga P:\ca\characters2\usmc\marines\data\usmc_marpatsfgs_co.tga P:\ca\characters2\usmc\marines\data\usmc_marpatdgb_co.tga ***************************************************** Is this normal? and should I just ignore it? or do I need to get those files from somewhere else? I have the virtual p: drive that was created by the bohemia tools 2.5 but of course, none of those files exist in there. Also another noobish question (im sorry) but when the A3 model has loaded, there are six bodies all placed ontop of eachother, that gradually increase in quality and polygon count, is this how all Arma 3 models are supposed to be made? what is the purpose of this? I have read through this whole thread and was surprised to see that no one else has mentioned this, seems no one else has this problem? Thankyou to whomever may be able to answer these simple and quite possibly noobtacular questions. Chu Ah never mind, I recently found that I need to extract all the .pbo files from ArmA 3 and place them all within the p:/ drive lol also now I understand why there are multiple LOD's in the one model.
