Not Telling
First, the arrows ARE STILL PURPLE. Please don't tell me it's the asset.dat's problem, because it's not.
"As has been pointed out before, the Morthond Bowmen arrows are untextured and therefore show up purple (at least in BFME1). W3D Viewer shows that it requires the file w_arrowb.dds, a file not included in any version of BFME.
So, to anyone who got these to work, what did you do for that?
And to Nertea, is this a mistake with the models or am I overlooking something incredibly obvious?"
I was told this is how to fix it:
"To fix this, open up the _skn file in a hex editor.
Search for .dds, replace it with .tga.
The game cannot use textures when they are referenced as a .dds in the model. It has to be a .tga, even if the physical texture file is a .dds.
But it did not work, the arrows are still purple.
Second, the units cannot move, they SLIDE. They slide around...How do I fix that?
