model_flexi data/models_unit/mount_elephant_indian_100.CAS, max
model_tri 700, 0.3f, 0.3f, 0.3f

but the game like this crashes to descktop ....

while instead if i place in the file of export unit the model of one of the other exhisting already elephants the game runs well .....


Do u know how can I solve the problem?



the second one is how to scale them , I have tried all the tutorial stes of verci but the result after having created a 1.3 scaled indian elephant skeleton , packed , placed in the list and in the descr tet of the unit i place also the scale of the unit to 1.3 , this is the result .....




Can u help me there too ?

Thanks a lot for ut Attention .....

What happened to them?!

Yoik, I can't see offhand what's wrong Prometheus. I've not had much trouble with elephants but i have mostly been using the african skeleton. perhaps it's that? Maybe post in the general forum for more responses?
