model invisible despite adding to asset.dat

So I have recently duplicated the euhaldir_skn, named it euhald2_skn, and edited the skn with Sy's asset builder to give the duplicate the heavy armor textures. I did this to make his armour toggle and that works, but only the original skin showed up. I redid the asset.dat with Sy's asset builder ensuring everything was where it should be, and now both won't show up. When I try with EA's I get these errors everytime:

Internal container is named EUHALDIR_SKN; Could not get info for art\w3d\euhald2_skn.w3d
Internal hierarchy is named RUMORWEN_SKN; Could not get info for art\w3d\rueowyn2_skn.w3d

I get an 132 kb asset.dat with EA's and a 141 kb with Sy's (if that matters.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try out this asset builder: http://www.speedysha...acheBuilder.rar (Remember, put the assetcachebuilder on your desktop, the folder that is, because that worked for me, also when you import textures, change compiledtextures to textures)

Thanks for replying. Built a new asset.dat with that download you provided, but alas still can't see my duplicate. I'm gonna go over my coding again, see if there's something in there.

No, I highly doubt there is anything in there that would make it invisible, besides maybe the fact that I'm using a 'childobject' to switch between the two skins; could that cause it?

i wouldn't bet my money on that, make sure the texture is in the compiled texture's folder, also the texture he is using is duplicated like the model, and saved as .dds and one as .tga.

also another thing could be you forgot to bind him(i don't think it's enough to c+p the file, you gotta import it all into 3ds max or renx, whatever you use, but i don't think that's the problem), or add the SKL in the art folder.
