Battlefield 1942 Mods, Modding Tutorials & Forums

I have searched google and this website and I haven't found a guide on how to import a custom game object. I already have my .rs and .sm files bu I need to know how to add them into battlecraft 42 and in game.
Thanks

This should help: http://home.earthlink.net/~dweller_bent ... adding.htm

In the tutorial it mentions this: What is going to be covered in this tutorial is how to add a custom object to a BF1942 map that already exists, not how to create one from scratch.
Would it still work or would another tutorial be required?

To get an object on a map it either needs to be called in StaticObjects (non-moving objects) or an object spawn template for respawning objects (PCOs or weapon kits). There are other ways too such as what Classical's link showed.

Using the above method, i have imported my model, however no textures are loaded. I have textures in my texture.rfa (which is in my mod directory as shown below) (PS, this folder is packed into a .rfa but it is easier to display this way)

And my model's .rs is looking for the textures in the directory where I have put them. I don't know why this is happening....

take out the .dds description when giving the texture file path. Also material0 says notexture

To add on, I also see a "StandardMesh/Default.dds" so be sure to remove that .dds piece.

[Edit] Removed rest of my post, realized you are loading textures via Textures.rfa and not mapside. Oops.

[Edit] Make sure your 3D model has material IDs 1 through 8 applied to the correct object or sub-object. The file you showed above has materials 0 through 7 so the 3D modeling program would be material IDs 1 through 8. It may be that every face has a material ID of 1 (in the file, material 0) which shows as "texture/bf4_42/notexture".

I followed your advice and still cant figure it out
The mesh is still white. What can I do now?

Is the mesh white in your 3D editor, or in-game? (or both?)

My object is only white in battlecraft. When I reimport my .sm into 3ds max, it has all the textures mapped.
