Yeah, could be just sprites and nothing to do with this problem but maybe...seems to indicate problem could have been more to do with sprites
I don't have BI yet (so slow :) ) -- in the vanilla 1.5 file the only unit which has both a slave and merc texture has the path going to "mercs" instead of "merc". Is the BI one the same or is the path "merc"?Vanilla BI 1.6 has got merc and slave texture lines for all the mercenaries that are in use with no comments. (they only have the slave sprite specified though)
