SP Tutorial Module System Adding new items to m&b using Wings 3d (now with pictures!)

dear yoshi,

Thank you for your tutorial, I am however experiencing a problem.
I have placed both texture, material and mesh in the same brf file named 'testmodel'
The texture is in the texture folder of the mod(as a .dds), the brf file is in the resource folder of the mod.

I have added the following in module_items.py:

and the following in module_scripts.py:

And lastly, in the module.ini file I have placed (at the bottom of the page)

As far as I know, this should work. I neither get errors when running the build_module batch file or the game itself.
But, once in-game, my model is not in the troop list. I have tried to change the itm_testmodel in an already existing vanilla item, and that worked perfectly, but when I try to load in my own model it won't even show up in the equipment selection screen.

What is causing this?

Sincerely,

DirtyMorth

Superb tutorial.

uh, sorry.awesome tutorial but i cant see photos.

I'm wondering about this tutorial... is it completely outdated?
I just started out modelling and texturing, now I need to understand how to add items.
Searching the forums leads here, but something tells me I should look somewhere else 

So far I've found the following but nothing on new textures and meshes in there :

Also the BRF edit tool is said to be outdated

So any experienced person could tell if it's still ok to use BRFedit and this tutorial or just a giant waste of time?
And in that case show the way to a new tutorial on adding items?

thanks a lot

Giant waste of time; use OpenBRF instead.

Paste rigging in OpenBRF and post your questions in other places, namely in the Q&A thead at the Forge main board.
