Basically learning to mod units in RTW from the coding to textures, the coding is simple but after numerous attempts I can't get any reskins working. Created my archers perfectly fine, works in game, only shows for desired faction, everything works great except the textures. I'm using paint.net as it comes with a .dds plugin and followed a tut by subrosa on this site to creating the texture for the unit. only difference in what I did was not check the "swap red and alpha" option..... there isn't one, but set the compression to dxt5 and generated mip maps, edited both texture files in packs and models/textures folders. saved everything where it needs to go, changed and renamed what was needed in descr_model_battle...... and nothing, archers still using the original texture. srsly wtf iZ wr0ng?!?!?!
