Nobody has given me any answers yet and I can't edit my other thread, so I will explain more clearly, I need to know how to fix this problem and someone here must know how to fix it. I downloaded some *.v3m trees (meshes) from redfactionvew . net. I added those files to the Meshes.vpp file using vpp build.

Instantly in the Red editor, all the new meshes showed up under the object tree under natural plants and I could see all my new trees and bushes and started inserting them into my map. But in the game when I ran to test the map, the plants and trees showed no textures on them and all I could see were just ugly blue checkered boxes.

I do not know what went wrong and need to solve this problem so I can use my new trees, for they worked perfectly fine in the editor but for some reason, will not work in the game.

you probably have to add the textures for the meshes, and the meshes themselves to your .vpp of the map...

what goober said, you'r basicaly running a mod so you need to add all the textures + meshes into a .vpp file which you can run in the normal way for running a mod
I knew there was a reason for my grotesque appearance

Ah yes now I see... I added the textures into my mapfile, now the problem is fixed, the trees and plants are showing up in the game
and now my file has leaped from 1.4 megs to 18 megs !! ARGHH !

Might get rid of the plants.
