Now in groups the sword is listed as secondary_sword 23 (mat:attachments). in comments its says Secondaryactive0
secondary_sword 23
Im assuming the 2nd line is matching the group name (SO NO CHANGE TO THIS ????) i just change the secondaryactive0 to PRIMARYACTIVE0 ??
The most important part of the group comments is the first line where the group class is set, this tells M2TW how to treat the group. The second line is used for matching random choices in that class. So yes change 'secondary' to 'primary' in the first line. It's good editing practice, especially if your going to share your mods with other people, to change the second line and even the Milkshape group name, to reflect any changes you've made. If you're changing a lance armed figure to a sword armed figure don't forget that you also have to modify their bounding sphere in Model/Comments. Find a sword armed figure, matching mounted or foot and copy it's bounding sphere to your figure.

What i tried was moving the last kite entry from the all yellow shield (hre) to the shield above it that was black with a yellow cross. if i simply click MOVE i can move it up to the new texture. I can click region and get real close to viewing the shield so i can make it perfect. now if i save and exit, reopen the shield is back at the yellow soooo I must hit REMAP after i move it right ???? so i do all the steps above and hit reMap. now the shield becomes massive and its hard a Hades to make it "small" again.

please

thanks guys.
im very close now to understanding this. hehe
if it wasnt for u's, most notably grumpy i wouldn't have a clue.
This change should work and be saved (don't use the REMAP, this completely remaps your group, losing all uv info). I've just tried it and it works fine. Make sure you're saving and reopening the same file. Maybe hit the Menu/File/New option between saving and loading to refresh.

Cheers
